"Autumn Ran, did you say I really want to go to this banquet?" Nangong Xiyu asked the maid to comb her hair, and asked about the jade dye standing on the side and doing nothing.

Yuran's eyes were gentle and gentle, "Your Royal Highness the Princess, you are an envoy, and the Prince of Huaguo is also an envoy, since His Royal Highness the Crown Prince invited you in the name of the envoy and hopes to deepen the friendship between the two countries, then Your Royal Highness the Princess, you really can't shirk it." ”

"Really?" When Nangong Xiyu heard this, she was obviously in a bad mood, she frowned and said, "Qiu Ran, you said that my luck is too bad, right?" You can actually meet the prince of Huaguo on the road. In this way, it is really troublesome one after another, and I have a headache when I think about it, but I am the worst at dealing with this kind of banquet! ”

"But Your Royal Highness, you are the princess of the Shang Kingdom, and these banquets are inevitable since childhood. Since you can't avoid it, can't you just get used to it? If you have always envied the freedom outside the palace, princess, aren't you making yourself unhappy? Yuran tilted her head and smiled comfortingly.

Nangong Xiyu pursed her lips, but finally compromised, "It's only Qiu Ran who listens to your comfort!" When I was still in the palace of the Shang King, my queen mother ...... Even the current Queen Mother often tells me that I was born to be a noble princess, so I have to think about the Shang country wholeheartedly, and I can only think about the Shang country. I get annoyed by listening to it like this. ”

"Really? That's an honor for autumn dyeing. Yuran smiled, and her voice was gentle.

"Speaking of which, Qiu Ran should be about my age, right?" Nangong Xiyu suddenly looked at Yuran with a curious gaze.

Yu Ran smiled and hooked the corners of her lips, "Her Royal Highness the princess is only two years old, and Qiu Ran is already twenty and five." ”

"Eh, twenty and five?" Nangong Xiyu's eyes suddenly widened, with an incredible look, "I really can't see it at all!" I looked at you and thought you and I should be about the same age, maybe younger than me! ”

Her Royal Highness laughed. Yu Ran smiled helplessly, she seemed to have heard people mention this often when she didn't change her appearance, and now that she changed her appearance, she actually thought that she should still look a few years older, right?

Nangong Xiyu was silent, she held her chin with one hand, and then looked at Yuran with a serious look, and after a while, she smiled suddenly: "Every time I listen to Qiu Ran's posture and style of doing things, I always think that you should be a dignified and gentle lady." ”

Yu Ran was stunned for a moment, but then laughed and said: "Her Royal Highness the princess is really tormented by Qiu Ran, how can Qiu Ran compare with your children?" ”

"Why can't it be compared? I don't think you know how much better than them! is not as twisted and pinched as they are, and they have to pretend how noble they are when they say something. As soon as Nangong Xiyu thought of this, her pretty face showed a little boredom.

Hearing this, Yu Ran raised her eyebrows slightly, "Maybe it's the princess's view that has a more unique relationship." ”

"Autumn dye, in fact, you are also very good at complimenting, but I just don't have the feeling of being particularly irritable when I talk to them." Nangong Xiyu was also surprised by this.

"That just proves that I'm right!" Yuran grinned, blinking slightly.

"Alas...... I really don't want to talk about you. Nangong Xiyu waved his hand and looked at Yuran with a very helpless look. Because she really found out that she couldn't say jade dye at all!

When it was getting dark, Nangong Xiyu asked Yuran to accompany her, and together they went to the place where Murong Lin set up a banquet, which was also a restaurant that was temporarily borrowed. It looks like it took a day to dress up, and it feels quite solemn.

"Her Royal Highness Princess, please." Murong Lin welcomed Nangong Xiyu in.

"Thank you, Prince Murong." Nangong Xiyu bowed slightly towards Murong Lin, and then stepped on the edge of the door.

Yuran gently held Nangong Xiyu's arm, and always felt that Nangong Xiyu was still a little nervous.

And Yuran's mind was gradually concentrated at this moment, after all, the person who came was not good.

During the banquet, Yuran has been standing behind Nangong Xiyu, sometimes pouring tea for her.

Yu Ran's gaze lightly glanced at the person standing behind Murong Lin, and found that it was Zhen Xuanming. It seems that even this sudden banquet may have been deliberately mentioned by him, right?

Maybe even Murong Lin didn't know that he was now in the middle of a plan by others, and he was still extremely cooperative.

"This is peach blossom brewing, and the wine is not strong, so the princess can rest assured." Murong Lin smiled and said.

"Thank you, Prince Murong." Nangong Xiyu bowed her head slightly.

Yuran carried the wine jug that was brought by the servant, and her eyes were deep. She leaned over slightly and poured wine for Nangong Xiyu, but at this moment, her sleeves slipped, and with a light movement of her fingertips, a small pure white pill fell into Nangong Xiyu's wine glass. Because the sleeves of the dress she wore today were wide, it just happened to hide the sight of others.

You can see it from Nangong Xiyu's side, but you can see the actions of jade dyeing.

The wine was slightly drunk, but there was no sense of attraction in Yuran's expression, but there was no smile.

Nangong Xiyu looked at the pill in the cup that melted almost instantly, and quietly glanced at Yu Ran with a rather puzzled gaze for a while.

Yu Ran smiled silently, and then at the moment when he was about to get up, he faintly let his thin lips close to Nangong Xiyu's ear, "Don't drink too much." ”

Yu Ran's voice was subtle and ethereal, if it weren't for Nangong Xiyu who happened to put all her thoughts on Yu Ran, she would probably feel that she was in a trance.

After Yuran did this, he got up directly and stood behind Nangong Xiyu again, as if he was really just pouring a glass of wine for Nangong Xiyu.

Nangong Xiyu's eyes tossed and turned on the wine glass for a long time, and she thought of Yu Ran's warning, she seemed to have an understanding, and finally chose to believe Yu Ran, she gently picked up the wine glass and turned to Murong Lin, then took a small sip, and said with a smile: "Good wine, thank you really for His Royal Highness Murong's intentions." ”

"Her Royal Highness the princess likes it." Murong Lin also smiled at the same moment and lifted the wine glass, and then drank the wine in one gulp.

Soon, a servant girl came in from outside, and on the tray in her hand were some delicate-looking snacks. But at the moment when the dim sum was about to be brought to Nangong Xiyu, the maid seemed to be unstable under her feet, and after slipping a little, she threw out directly with the tray, and a plate of dim sum was all spilled on the ground, and her appearance was also embarrassed.

"Presumptuous, he was so disrespectful in front of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Royal Highness the Princess!" Zhen Ming, who was originally standing behind Murong Lin, suddenly jumped out, his expression was full of anger, and he said loudly accusatory.

The servant seemed to be frightened, and she fell to her knees, and her whole body trembled continuously, and even her face was pale to the ground.

"I beg Your Highness to be gracious, and I beg the princess to be gracious! I beg Your Highness, beg the princess to ......" The figure of the maid trembled, as if she was really afraid at this moment.

Yuran's eyes narrowed slightly, she felt that this matter would definitely not be so simple!

"His Royal Highness the Prince, my subordinates see that this servant is frivolous, so let's punish her quickly and tell her to step down, don't let the princess lose her interest. After spilling the snacks prepared for Her Royal Highness the Princess, it would be good to call a meticulous servant girl over. ”

The next moment, it was Murong Lin who nodded in agreement, he waved his hand, and said, "Okay, let her step down." ”

"His Royal Highness Prince Xie! Your Royal Highness Princess Xie! The maidservant stood up with a slight trembling body, as if she had a lingering fear of what had just happened, and finally gained life from the brink of death.

When the servant girl retreated, Murong Lin glanced at the rest of the people here, as if he was considering who to order to go to the back kitchen again.

"Your Highness, why don't you let Her Royal Highness the princess's personal maid go, so that you are not afraid of losing your manners again, and I think that the maid is also a proper person." The attendant pretending to be said softly in Murong Lin's ear.

Murong Lin felt very reasonable, so his eyes fell on Yu Ran's body, "Can this personal maid of Her Royal Highness the princess go to the back kitchen in person?" Otherwise, the palace is afraid that these temporarily sent maids will make Her Royal Highness the princess more interested. ”

"Autumn Dye......" Nangong Xiyu turned his head and glanced at Yu Dye. may also be due to the reminder of Yu Ran just now, Nangong Xiyu couldn't help but feel a little worried in her heart.

Yu Ran smiled slightly and blessed her, "Your Royal Highness the Princess, I'll go and I'll be back soon." ”

Nangong Xiyu paused, nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll bother you." ”

Yuran's figure disappeared into the hall, and Murong Lin saw the scene just now, so he said with some curiosity: "It seems that Her Royal Highness the princess and those maidservants seem to have a lot of friendship. ”

Nangong Xiyu smiled and said: "Qiu Ran she is not my maidservant, I just saved her by accident on the way to Huaguo, so I let her go with me, after all, her body didn't look good at that time." ”

"Really? I see. From this point of view, Her Royal Highness the Princess's benevolent heart is really worthy of the admiration of this palace. Murong Lin praised truthfully.

It's just that at the moment when Nangong Xiyu's words fell, Zhen Xuanming, who was standing behind Murong Lin, suddenly flashed in his eyes, and his eyes became a little deeper, he seemed to think of something, and his expression darkened a little at the same time. His eyes swept towards the door, where there was no one anymore, with a slight gloom, and the light that burst out from his dark eyes was almost sharp.

Autumn dyeing?

The person who was saved by accident halfway......

I see!

I don't know that Zhen Ming has realized something at this moment, and the moment Yu Ran walked out of the banquet hall, the smile on the corner of his lips gradually converged, and the eyes in a pair of phoenix eyes were deep, which was much colder than the cold night. And behind the coldness, there seems to be more of a complex taste.

Yu Ran now knew that it was no accident that the servant girl fell to the ground just now, it was arranged by Zhen Xuanming, in order to lure her away from Nangong Xiyu's side.
