A birthday banquet made Lu Qingrong gain a lot.

It's just that the different forms of eyes of everyone at the banquet made her a little overwhelmed.

Since Lu Qingrong returned to the capital two years ago, he had never seen Mrs. Tai smile so often.

Of course, she didn't think that this smile had anything to do with her birthday, presumably because Lu Yiduo returned home today.

But it can't be said that it has nothing to do with him at all, and being able to marry the Marquis of Jingyuan must be a happy thing for Mrs. Tai.

Of course, there is another person who looks a little happier than Mrs. Tai, and that is Geng's.

This somewhat puzzled Lu Qingrong.

When Geng first heard about this family business, he was a little surprised. Every time I saw Lu Qingrong at that time, I looked a little ignorant of it, so today's enthusiasm really seems to be a little contrasting.

Especially the jade Guanyin she sent.

Although the transparency of the jade is not very high, it is rare to have a full green body, and even though it is only the size of a palm, it is already very valuable.

As Lu Qingrong saw, Geng's joy was indeed not fake.

When she first learned about this family business, she was a little jealous of Yin Pingru and Lu Qingrong, but after a month, she also figured out a lot in her heart.

When Lu Fangyu married into Di Mansion, she felt a little pity, thinking that she couldn't give the Lu family's daughter a good start.

And this time the Marquis of Jingyuan's Mansion gave them a new reference, and when Lu Manyu said goodbye in the future, they could be more tough.

It is with this intention that she has today's generosity.

Another thing that made Lu Qingrong feel strange was Lu Chengjie.

It's just that others are smiling, he just learned in the morning that he will try to fail, and he is as happy as everyone else, and he doesn't seem to be sad, but very happy.

It seems that his previous guess is not true, in order to prevent Lu Yiduo from giving someone a handle again, Lu Chengjie may have taken the initiative to give up this test this time......

By the time it was time to leave, everyone's makeup had already been delivered, and just as they were about to disperse, two unexpected guests suddenly came.

"Mrs. Tai, Princess Chengyang has already entered the mansion, saying that she is here to attend the birthday banquet of the fourth lady."

The maid's voice trembled a little.

Everyone was shocked when they heard this.

Lu Mansion has never had such a noble guest.

What's more, the Lu family has no contact with Princess Chengyang's mansion.

"Hurry up, please!" Mrs. Tai hurriedly commanded.

After a while, I saw a noble lady in the midst of the entourage, dressed in a bright golden peony pattern engraved silk armor, an apricot-colored pleated skirt, and a pair of red gold garnets on top of her towering Lingyun bun.

This is Princess Chengyang.

Lu Qingrong followed everyone up and saluted.

As for what the princess looks like, it's completely unclear.

It's not that it's not close enough, but Princess Chengyang's makeup is very strong, and it's hard to see her true appearance.

Only the phoenix-like butterfly-like red gold step on her head, with her every movement kept swinging, under the candlelight of the flower hall, it was very dazzling.

Lu Qingrong looked down at the plate in front of him, and felt that the step was not smaller than this plate at all.

looked up again, but at a glance he saw a figure behind Princess Chengyang who had just been overwhelmed by many entourages, it was actually Qiu Muyun!

What is this combination?

Not only Lu Qingrong, but the rest of the Lu family were also very puzzled.

Everyone knows the relationship between Qiu Muyun and Princess Chengyang's sister-in-law, but they don't understand these two people, one has no contact with the Lu family, and the other is worse than no contact, why did they suddenly appear in the Lu Mansion together?

"Mrs. Tai doesn't need to be polite." Princess Chengyang and the others finished the big salute before they spoke, and their voices couldn't hear any emotion.

"I didn't know that the princess arrived, and I didn't welcome it from afar, and I hope the princess will forgive her sins." Mrs. Tai replied respectfully.

"I'm just coming to the Lu Mansion to make a visit, you don't want to be like this." Princess Chengyang was very satisfied with Mrs. Tai's attitude, "Let's sit down." After speaking, at the invitation of Mrs. Tai, he sat on the main seat of the banquet. Qiu Muyun accompanied him.

Everyone also sat down.

Lu Yiduo had already retreated to the back, and was about to take Lu Chengjie to avoid them at this time, but was suddenly named by Princess Chengyang.

"Lord Lu, please stay!"

Lu Yiduo immediately turned around, neither raised his head nor stepped forward, just stood with his head down, waiting for the next step.

"I heard from the concubine that Lord Lu just returned home today, so there's nothing serious, right?" The words that were meant to express concern inevitably seemed a little stiff when they came out of the princess's mouth, but it was not difficult to see that she had tried her best to maintain this kind tone.

"Thanks to the princess and the colt." Lu Yiduo didn't answer her specific question when she heard it, so he didn't answer positively.

"Since he returned home, he has been very concerned about the situation of the other examiners, and he has also pleaded with An Lehou many times, and he insists that Lord Lu is innocent no matter what, and it seems that he is really right!"

This time, although Lu Yiduo's expression was still deferential, he didn't speak again.

Qiu Yongan's role in the fraud in this imperial examination, he knows it well, but he suffers from the lack of real evidence......

At this moment, let him say words of thanks to Qiu Yongan, it is absolutely impossible.

Princess Chengyang didn't intend to end the topic like this, and continued: "The horse still has a word, let the palace convey it to Lord Lu. If there was any misunderstanding in the past, Lord Lu should not take it to heart, if there is anything you need help in the future, just go to the princess's mansion to find him! Even if he can't help, it's not ......"

She didn't finish the rest of the sentence, but the intention of this time has been fully revealed, and it doesn't matter whether she continues to talk about it or not.

She took advantage of this birthday banquet today to show favor to Lu Yiduo on behalf of Qiu Yongan.

As for what happened, even if Lu Yiduo was a little uncertain before, it is gradually becoming clear now.

"I hope the princess will tell you on your behalf, thank you for your kindness."

Lu Yiduo's words were vague, and it seemed that no matter how he understood it, it made sense.

Princess Chengyang has always been proud, and she thought about it literally, thinking that Lu Yiduo was a person who knew the times, and her heart was much more steady.

Lu Yiduo took advantage of this gap to salute and retreat, and the princess did not stop her.

Since I came here in the name of going to the birthday banquet, I naturally had to do a complete set.

"This is the fourth lady in the house, right?" Princess Chengyang turned her face sideways and said to Lu Qingrong.

Lu Qingrong saw Princess Chengyang for the first time, but he didn't expect to be recognized at once.

It's not hard to guess, after all, today is her birthday banquet, and she is sitting next to Mrs. Tai.

After learning the rules for so many days, Lu Qingrong did not forget to stand up at this time and greet the princess again.

"Jinting, they also mentioned you when they came back from the women's school...... It's really a smart and polite child. ”

This pause in the middle of Princess Chengyang couldn't help but make Lu Qingrong think about it.

Qiu Jinting and He Qingwan, if they said that they would say good things about themselves behind their backs, it was impossible.

"The princess praised it." Lu Qingrong really had nothing else to say.

Princess Chengyang nodded with satisfaction, and glanced at the maid who was accompanying her.

The maid hurriedly stepped forward with a tray.

There are all kinds of jewelry on the plate, from bracelets to earrings to beads, etc., and the texture is also different, red gold, Hetian jade, ice jade, etc.

"These are the makeup that Hongu has given you." Princess Chengyang said lightly.

Lu Qingrong didn't dare to take it.

Looking at the whole tray of dazzling jewelry in front of him, Lu Qingrong felt that it was really a bit exaggerated, and couldn't help but raise his eyes to look at Yin Pingru and Mrs. Tai.

At this time, Yin Pingru looked a little absent-minded, and lowered her head as if she was thinking about something.

Mrs. Tai quickly responded: "Don't thank the princess for the reward!" ”

Since Mrs. Tai had spoken, Lu Qingrong had no choice but to respectfully take the heavy tray, because it was heavier than expected, he almost got out of his hand in an instant.

Princess Chengyang's side was already a little impatient.

I said everything that should have been said, and I also sent the resent one, so I didn't want to stay for a long time, and planned to get up and leave.

At this time, Qiu Muyun, who had been following her, suddenly stood up.

"I also have a congratulatory gift here, let's give it to Miss Fourth as makeup!"

Princess Chengyang frowned, feeling that she was really a little troublesome.

I brought her here today, mainly because I was afraid that Lu Yiduo and they would not know how to lift, and Qiu Muyun claimed to be familiar with the situation of the Lu family, so she was asked to follow in case of emergency.

And now there is nothing wrong from beginning to end, and Qiu Muyun is a little redundant to speak at this time.

Of course she didn't know that Qiu Muyun had her own plans in her heart.

Some time ago, I have been purging He Kai and Lu Qingrong to renew their father-daughter relationship, but whether they came to Lu Mansion or went to Yin's house, they were either rejected or directly closed.

Only then did she think of taking the opportunity to come over and have a warm conversation with Lu Qingrong.

I don't expect Lu Qingrong to be so affectionate to her, but after all, it's a three-point relationship, not to mention that she is just a child, and she may not be able to share the same hatred with her mother.

The more Qiu Muyun thought about it, the more it made sense, and his tone became much more confident: "I can't be with the princess, just don't dislike Miss Four!" ”

Lu Qingrong first glanced at his mother's side, and found that Yin Pingru still did not look at them at the moment, but stared down at the dishes in front of him, without squinting.

I think that my mother's thoughtful appearance from just now is all because of the person in front of her.

Today, Qiu Muyun wore a moon-white lily dark pattern collared gown, an aqua blue skirt, her hair was combed into a relatively simple bun, and she only wore a green jade hairpin.

Compared to the previous times I saw her, today is very different.

It reminded Lu Qingrong of the time more than ten years ago, when he first met Qiu Muyun in He Kai's study.

At that time, she was this kind of slightly light and delicate outfit, full of white lotus appearance.

More than ten years have passed, and she has long lost the weak figure and delicate face she had at that time, and no matter how pretentious she is, it makes people look even more uncomfortable.

Lu Qingrong didn't even look at the makeup she brought, so he was about to say no.

didn't think about it, but was preempted by Geng's family. RS
