Chapter 297: His Protection, First Arrival at the Banquet
Saying goodbye in the teahouse, Shen Liuyue took the maid back, she had been preoccupied, and as soon as she walked to the gate of the courtyard, she saw Xuanyuan Zichen standing not far away.
Obviously, they had only met for a short time, but Shen Liuyue felt that they seemed to have not seen each other for a long time.
For a while, Shen Liuyue was stunned, and Xuanyuan Zichen was also stunned.
Xuanyuan Zichen was just a little worried about Shen Liuyue, so he just looked here, but he didn't expect Shen Liuyue to come back and see this scene.
The dark brocade clothes made Xuanyuan Zichen look more stable, and he looked a little taciturn, and he seemed to be a little thinner than a few days ago.
Xuanyuan Zichen, who originally wanted to ask, saw the post in Shen Liuyue's hand, and his originally soft face immediately became cold.
"This is a post from Youwangfu?"
Shen Liuyue reflexively hid the post back, her face was a little embarrassed, as if she didn't expect such a thing to be seen by Xuanyuan Zichen.
"Yes, this was sent by Lu Gongzi, saying that it was his birthday and invited me to come over to sit, if the prince thinks it is not suitable, I will push it."
Seeing her complete self in Shen Liuyue's eyes made Xuanyuan Zichen feel a little speechless for a while, but she couldn't say anything like she wanted Shen Liuyue not to go.
Lu Jia's identity, he knew it a long time ago, and he had indeed concealed Shen Liuyue all along, but he was afraid that Shen Liuyue had only recently found out, which made him feel a little guilty in his heart.
"It's okay, you don't seem to have participated in any banquets since you came to the capital, so it's good if you can meet some friends at this banquet."
"That's what I thought, I wonder if the prince will go that day?"
The waiting time seemed to be very difficult, Xuanyuan Zichen hesitated for a moment and gave a very uncertain answer.
"If there is something on that day, I will not go, but if there is nothing, I will go and see. At that time, I will have someone send you over, and there will be no delay. ”
This obviously meant that they would not go together, although Shen Liuyue felt a little uncomfortable, she also fully respected Xuanyuan Zichen's decision.
"Okay, then it's going to trouble the prince."
"It's okay, it's a gesture." Xuanyuan Zichen turned around and left, but after taking a few steps, he suddenly looked back.
"The capital is not so harmonious as it seems on the surface, if you are going to a banquet, remember to bring Ru'er with you, if there is something, she can remind you. Don't easily believe other people and tell them that someone is targeting you, and you tell them that you are from the Eight Sages Palace. ”
The meaning of this is that it will shelter her.
A sour and numb feeling echoed in Shen Liuyue's heart, although it was just a sentence, it made her extremely happy.
"Got it, thank you Lord." Looking at the figure of Xuanyuan Zichen leaving, Shen Liuyue's expression was extremely gentle.
When washing, Ru'er asked carefully: "Girl, why did Lu Gongzi tell you like this today, and you didn't want to?"
"Say what?" Shen Liuyue looked confused.
Seeing that Shen Liuyue really didn't understand what Lu Gongzi meant, Ru'er didn't say anything more.
"That's it, maybe the slave maid is thinking about it, it's not a big deal in itself, it's not early, the slave maid goes to let people bring dinner, and the girl should rest after using it."
Taking off the accessories on her body, Shen Liuyue looked at herself in the mirror, and didn't understand what those people said about their country and city? A woman's face is something she can't choose, so why should she pay so much attention to these things outside her body?
"It's okay, if you go that day, you have to prepare some things in advance, I don't know much about these, so I'll trouble you."
"How can a girl say such a thing, these are what slaves and maids should do, and girls just need to do it."
Ru'er already has an understanding of Shen Liuyue's temperament, in fact, basically Shen Liuyue is very easy to speak, and faintly speaking, there are some similarities with the princess.
It's just that these words are not something that she can say as a slave.
At midnight, the candle flame in Shen Liuyue's courtyard had been extinguished, and Xuanyuan Zichen stood at the window and looked at it, expressionless.
"Lord Wang, it's not too early, it's time to rest."
"Ying Yi, do you think Miss Shen and that Lu Gongzi are really a good match?"
In fact, when Shen Liuyue didn't know, every bit of her relationship with Lu Jia had already been known by Xuanyuan Zichen.
Hearing Xuanyuan Zichen say this, Ying Yi's mood was a little complicated: "My subordinates don't know, this children's affair should be that both parties like each other, could it be that the prince wants Miss Shen and Lu Gongzi to ......"
The night was quiet, only the insects that came from nowhere, adding a bit of excitement to the night, but Xuanyuan Zichen's heart was barren.
"I don't know, let her choose everything."
After standing for a moment, Xuanyuan Zichen turned around: "Go back to your room to rest."
Ying Yi followed quietly, and the figure seemed to melt into Xuanyuan Zichen's back.
Lu Jia's birthday came very quickly, and Ru'er dressed up for Shen Liuyue on this day. 20
The bun is the most suitable bun, and he has never used too expensive jewelry, but he has just inserted a jasper step diagonally, wearing a white gradient blue Liuxian skirt, and the blue sea water at the bottom of the skirt can be said to make Shen Liuyue's temperament more and more ethereal.
There is a delicate hollow incense ball hanging from the waist, and only a slight embellishment on the surface is enough.
This is Lu Jia's birthday, and it is estimated that there are many people who go, if she provokes something at that time, I am afraid that Xuanyuan Zichen will be uncomfortable, such a thing, she really doesn't want to do it.
So, I can only try to keep a low profile.
There are also several long skirts hanging next to it, what kind of flower skirt, juan yarn gold silk embroidered long skirt, smoke cloud butterfly skirt, etc., all of which were given up by Shen Liuyue because they were too ostentatious, Ru'er still felt that Shen Liuyue's body was too plain.
Good looking is good-looking, it's just too plain.
"The girl is also good-looking like this, it's not too early, and the carriage sent by Lu Gongzi should be about to arrive."
At this time, it was already dusk, and the dinner party was about to start, although the distance between the palace and the Youwang Mansion was not far, but as a guest, it was appropriate to arrive early.
Glancing at the direction of the main courtyard, Shen Liuyue lowered her eyes slightly: "Then we should go."
Lu Jia's carriage stopped at the mouth of the alley, and it was the person Lu Jia usually brought with him, and he knew Shen Liuyue.
"Miss Shen is dressed up so beautifully today, if the son sees it, he will definitely be happy."
Shen Liuyue was about to speak, but Ru'er gently pressed her arm, so she bowed her head slightly and never spoke again.
After getting into the carriage, Ru'er said: "The girl speaks a little too directly on weekdays, if she is in public, she is afraid that it will be rude, and today is to participate in Lu Gongzi's birthday, it should be appropriate."
"I know, thank you for reminding me, otherwise I'm afraid I'm going to make a fool of myself."
Because she has experienced few things and has few memories, Shen Liuyue's ability to cope with this kind of thing is very low.
At this time, the Youwang Mansion can be described as brightly lit and lively. This is the first banquet held by Youwangfu since moving to the capital, and the guests invited are all upper-class in the capital.
Because it was Lu Jia's birthday, today's Lu Jia is the protagonist, otherwise he would have gone to greet Shen Liuyue in person.
Most of these people know that Lu Jia has been chasing a woman very attentively recently, some have seen Shen Liuyue, some have not, but they have also heard of this woman's appearance, which is extremely exquisite.
"Why is Lu Gongzi waiting here, is he waiting for that beauty?"
It was Brother Gongzi who had a good relationship with Lu Jia who spoke, because Lu Jia rarely missed those places of fireworks in the later period, so these Brother Gongzi had a lot of complaints, but in this place today, they didn't say much, but it was no problem to ridicule a few words casually.
Someone next to him immediately echoed: "That's what I said, you have rejected your brother a few times for the sake of the beauty, and it's not kind to do so."
Lu Jia is surrounded by a group of sons and brothers, but the status of each one is not low, and there are many gentlemen in the capital.
"Brothers, this Miss Shen is also a woman from a good family, don't say that. Today is naturally an invitation, and someone has been sent to pick it up. ”
These sons are also curious, and their etiquette and upbringing are also excellent. But it was used in the wrong place later.
All the way over, Shen Liuyue looked outside with some curiosity, she had never been to this place.
The more you go to the goal, the more lively it becomes, because it is the carriage of Youwangfu, so the coachman enters through the side door, and does not stop until the place, at this time Lu Jia is already waiting here.
Just now, he estimated that the time was almost up, so he asked people to arrange for the group of sons to play, and he hurried over to greet him.
After Shen Liuyue got out of the carriage, she looked at Lu Jia, who was dressed very ceremoniously in front of her, and her eyes flashed with surprise, brocade clothes and jade belts, even if Lu Jia was only five points in color, she was forced to be set off as seven or eight points.
As for Xuanyuan Zichen's kind, even if he doesn't use these foreign objects, he is still very existent.
When Lu Jia saw Shen Liuyue, he was amazed again, light makeup and heavy makeup are always appropriate, what kind of fairy woman's existence is this.
Hurriedly suppressed his emotions and took a few steps forward: "Miss Shen's arrival can be said to make the Youwang Mansion shine. ”
Shen Liuyue's mind had not yet eased up from the scene she saw at the door just now, and she was still a little frightened at this time.
"The banquet held in your mansion is really lively, and when I was at the door just now, I almost couldn't get in. However, those women are very good-looking. ”
It's beautiful when it's raw, and it's also beautiful when it's dressed.
"Miss Shen said this, I'm afraid I didn't see my own appearance, and I rarely saw Miss Shen dressed up like this, like a fairy concubine, gorgeous and graceful, which made me forget to eat."
If you praise it, for Lu Jia, you can say it without blinking.
Shen Liuyue's phoenix eyes were slightly raised with a touch of red, which was specially increased by Ru'er, because Shen Liuyue was extremely charming, and even added an attractive red to this light tone.
"Thank you Lu Gongzi for the compliment, it's just that the little woman can't afford such a compliment."
After some greetings, Lu Jia invited Shen Liuyue to go to the front hall, at this time, although the elders are still in the future, but almost all of them are full, handsome men and beautiful women, jewelry, very shining.
It's just that after Shen Liuyue came in, the original excitement suddenly fell into suffocation, and many people looked at the door, the blue figure.
