There is less than half an hour or so before the official start of the birthday party.

After the two arrived in the hall, there were already many people sitting in their seats, waiting for the banquet to begin.

Lu Jian searched for a week, but he didn't see Princess Shao Ning, but he saw Xiao Ye in the VIP seat.

There were a few girls standing around Xiao Ye, their faces were slightly red and they wanted to talk to him shyly, but Xiao Ye was expressionless and even a little indifferent, no matter what the girl asked, he just simply replied um or oh.

After a while, the girl felt a little embarrassed and turned away.

Lu Jian complained in his heart that Xiao was simply a straight man of steel, and he was a little sympathetic to those little girls.

Xiao also seemed to sense that someone was looking at him, so he turned his head to look over, just opposite Lu Jian's eyes.

Lu Jian instantly had a feeling of peeking at someone else's being caught, and only felt that his face was a little hot, so he hurriedly looked away.

Xiao also saw all these changes in Lu Jian's expression, and he felt a little funny, and the expression on his face softened a lot, and then walked in the direction of Lu Jian.

Lu Jian saw Xiao Ye coming over, only to feel that there were many burning eyes around her, shooting at her, Lu Jian was a little helpless, if she didn't have something to find Xiao Ye and kill her, she wouldn't want to communicate with this man anymore.

"What's the matter," Xiao also walked to Lu Jian's side and said.

"It's nothing, it's just to tell you, there is yin qi on the body of the palace maid next to Princess Shao Ning, and I feel that there is something wrong" Speaking of this, Lu Jian paused and said: "It may be that I think too much, just to remind you"

"Okay" Xiao also continued with a smile: "Be careful yourself"

"Hmm" After Lu Jian finished speaking, he hurriedly left this place of right and wrong, and walked in the direction of Wen Shuhe.

After she left, there were a few young ladies around, muttering in a low voice, "Who was that woman just now?"

"It seems to be Miss Yan of the Lu family, and she rarely attends parties"

"No wonder the eyes are born"

"Lord Xiao actually smiled at her just now" A woman was a little incredulous: "Could it be ......"

The other young lady knew what she wanted to say, and her face was a little unkind: "Don't talk nonsense, Xiao Shizi, he is just polite."

“………”

……

"Lu Jian"

Wen Shu and seeing Lu Jian coming over, Wen Shu whispered to Lu Jian, signaling her to sit down quickly.

Mu Xuanyue is the daughter of General Zhenguo, so she sits in the first row of the exam.

Originally, she also wanted to sit with Lu Jian, but after all, this kind of occasion is more solemn, and it would not be good if it was seen by someone with a heart.

Half an hour later

All the young ladies and sons have been seated, in the center of the hall at the top of the position, there is a graceful and luxurious middle-aged woman, the woman is wearing a gorgeous phoenix dress, the dress is embroidered with jewels, and the cumbersome bun is wearing a nine-tailed phoenix crown, although the woman is more than thirty years old, but she is still graceful, thinking that this is the queen.

But the banquet began, but Shao Ning was still not seen.

"Thank you for coming to Princess Shao Ning's birthday banquet"

“………”

Lu Jian sat in a position slightly near the corner, listening to the speech of the female official on the stage, and eating grapes slowly. ，

"Next, Princess Shao Ning will present an opening dance for everyone"

As soon as the female official on the stage finished speaking, there was a sound of music around, and more than a dozen women in pink dance clothes walked in from outside the hall and walked towards the stage.

When they got to the stage, they started dancing to the music.

In particular, Princess Shao Ning's posture is very graceful, and she does all kinds of difficult dance moves with the ups and downs of the music, which is very eye-catching.

In the audience seats, many people were stunned, staring intently at the second people on the stage.

Lu Jian is also amazed, this dance skill has to be at least fifteen years old, which is really exciting.

After the dance.

The audience came back to their senses from the dance and burst into cheers.

Princess Shao Ning on the stage bowed and stepped out.

After several more programs, Princess Shao Ning also changed her clothes and returned to the hall, sitting next to the queen.

After the show, the queen stood up from her seat: "The palace is a little tired, so let's go back to the palace first, you young people have fun."

"Congratulations to the Queen"

After the queen left, the scene became a free activity, and the musicians played sometimes quiet and sometimes cheerful music in the corner, and the hall was very atmospheric.

All the guests present began to send congratulatory gifts they brought, and their Lu family, naturally, was no exception, and gave a jade Ruyi that had opened the light.

After the end of the show, Lu Jian began to observe the palace maid beside Princess Shao Ning, and pretended to pass by her from time to time, so that he really determined his previous thoughts, this palace maid had a problem.

People kept walking up to Shao Ning and toasting her to send blessings.

Then Lu Jian found the closest position to Princess Shao Ning and sat down, which was just enough to see the palace maid's every move clearly.

At this moment, an official lady walked up to Shao Ning, with those wine glasses in her hand, to toast Shao Ning, their wine here is very low, and drinking a pot will not necessarily get drunk.

The palace maid on the side saw that Shao Ning's wine glass was empty, hurriedly took the wine jug, poured wine in an empty wine glass, and handed it to Shao Ning.

Lu Jian's face changed, he hurriedly stood up, glanced at Xiao Ye, and walked towards Shao Ning with the prepared congratulatory gift.

Xiao on the other side also paid attention to Shao Ning's side early in the morning, and of course he also noticed the small movements of the palace maid, Lu Jian glanced at him, he immediately understood, secretly made a gesture in a direction, and also walked over.

"Princess Shao Ning"

Princess Shao Ning took the palace maid's wine glass and was about to drink it, but was stopped by a voice.

Shao Ning felt that the voice was familiar, and when he looked up, he saw Lu Jian standing in front of him, holding a jade Ruyi in his hand.

"Lu Jian, the daughter of the courtier Lu Heng, I wish the princess a happy birthday" Lu Jian smiled, and after she finished saying this, she said with her lips: There is a problem with the wine.

Shao Ning paused, then returned to normal, and put the wine glass aside as if nothing had happened.

"The girl of the Lu family has a heart," Shao Ning smiled back.

Lu Jian handed over the jade Ruyi to another palace maid waiting next to him.
