Chapter 96: Accident
Xie Shurou and Gu Yilan were both in Yuyang Palace at this time. Seeing Mu Hongsheng come in, both of them were a little surprised, but unfortunately on such an occasion, they had to follow the elders in the family, and they couldn't walk around at will like Mu Hongsheng, who had nothing to do.
Gu Yilan is okay, in her previous life, as the princess of Rongkang County, she also participated in palace banquets a few times, so she is still used to such occasions. Besides, in the Gu University Scholar's Mansion, Mrs. Gu took Miss Gu Six, Miss Seven, Miss Eight and Gu Yilan, the four young ladies to attend the palace banquet, and it was not boring for the sisters to be in one place.
Gu Yilan quietly followed behind her grandmother, and was led by Mrs. Gu to salute the two princes, and followed her grandmother to greet several ladies of the family who were familiar with her.
When Gu Yilan went to salute the two princes, she didn't deliberately look up to see the expressions of the princes. The two princes are very good-looking, and when they greet their grandmothers, their tones are also gentle and polite.
Therefore, Gu Yilan didn't notice that when Mrs. Gu took the four sisters of the Gu family to greet Zheng Ying and Zheng Jin, Zheng Ying's expression remained unchanged, with a light smile on her face as always, and her gaze at the four sisters of the Gu family was indiscriminate.
Zheng Jin was different, his gaze seemed to stay on Gu Yilan for a while before moving away.
Zheng Jin's unusual attention to Gu Yilan, of course Mrs. Gu noticed it. But she felt normal. Among her four granddaughters, Gu Yilan is the most beautiful. Mrs. Gu can confidently say that all the nobles present are combined, and none of them are as beautiful as the ninth sister of her family.
Therefore, Mrs. Gu felt that it was too normal for the princes to take a few more glances at Gu Yilan, who wouldn't like to look at such a dazzling girl? Even women, when they see their ninth sister, it is difficult to look away.
The other person present also noticed the unusual attention of the sixth prince Zheng Jin to Gu Yilan. That was Xie Shurou who followed Mrs. Xie.
In this palace banquet, the Gu family was invited by four sisters, and the Xie family was invited only by Xie San, Xie Shuyi, and Xie Shurou, the fourth Miss Xie.
It's not that Queen Wei discriminates against the daughters of the Xie family, but that there are not so many concubines in Xie Xiang's mansion, there are only the eldest and second daughters of Xie Erye, and the eldest daughter of Xie Changjing, the uncle of the Xie family, is a concubine, and the rest of the girls are concubines.
Miss Xie is already married, so only Xie Shuyi, the second daughter of Second Master Xie, and Xie Shurou came to participate in the palace banquet this time. Xie Shurou, the sister who was very favored by Xie Changjing at home, was not qualified to come to such an occasion.
Xie Shurou was invited to participate in the queen's flower-viewing banquet, and Xie Changjing and his family attached great importance to it. Xie Changjing has been resting in Grandma Xie's courtyard these days, and the two of them have discussed and discussed about their daughter's entry into the palace, from clothes and jewelry to etiquette and talent, everything is very detailed, and they have to worry about everything.
However, compared with her father, Xie Shurou, the main owner who needs to enter the palace, seems extremely careless. The prince looks at the concubine, what does it have to do with her, a vicious female partner? Xie Shurou knew that no matter how much her father and mother cared about it, it was too late for the princes to dislike her, with the heroine Gu Yilan present, the cliff of the female supporting group would be collectively bleak.
Xie Shurou, who was absent-minded and came to make soy sauce, was worried about another thing. The legendary palace feast! After the heroine and the queen, she first met the male partner by the lake, and then it was time to fall in love with the male protagonist at first sight at the palace banquet.
The male protagonist and the female protagonist fell in love at first sight, and it was none of Xie Shurou's business. She doesn't intend to interfere with the good marriage of the male and female protagonists. She only worries about one thing, this palace banquet is for the five princes and the six princes to see each other at the same time, then the fifth prince Zheng Ying is going to see the heroine Gu Yilan again, will there be love at second sight?
I hope not!!
Therefore, when the Gu sisters went to greet Zheng Ying and Zheng Jin, Xie Shurou widened her eyes and carefully watched the reactions of the two princes.
What reassured her was that Zheng Ying still didn't seem to have any special reaction when she saw Gu Yilan, but Zheng Jin really looked at the heroine twice.
That's a good thing, right?! Xie Shurou secretly breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that she had escaped another catastrophe. She thought with some joy that she had passed the test so easily today, maybe it was because Mu Hongsheng, a little lucky star, was there. Maybe it was because Mu Hongshang came that Zheng Ying began to think about Mu Hongsheng's brother again, so she didn't care about the beautiful heroine.
As for Zheng Jin...... It's not normal to take a few more glances at Gu Yilan? It's love at first sight! But...... The palace banquet is actually considered to be off track as a whole, right?
Because of the original plot, Zheng Jin showed interest in Gu Yilan at the palace banquet, which aroused Zheng Ying's vigilance, and the brothers fought openly and secretly in front of the heroine for a while. Originally, she, a vicious female partner, also discovered that Zheng Ying liked Gu Yilan at this palace banquet, and thus began a non-stop career of death.
OK! OK! Xie Shurou patted her chest with confidence, it was good that she had gone astray. Miss Mu is really a super lucky star, as long as she is there, everything will turn into good fortune and become auspicious.
"Silly fun?" Xie Shuyi gently nudged Xie Shurou, "Grandmother called us." Let's go, go and say hello to the fifth and sixth princes. ”
"Can't you go if you don't go?" Xie Shurou muttered very reluctantly, "We've been here for a long time, and my grandmother didn't say anything about taking us to the ceremony, so I thought I didn't need to go." ”
"What a stupid thing to say?" Xie Shuyi covered her mouth with a handkerchief and smiled: "Wasn't it because Gu Yizhu and Li Yunzheng went over to see each other just now!" That's why my grandmother didn't take us there. are all crowded together, let the two princes see who to go? You see, Li Yunzheng and Wen Meiqing still refuse to leave, really, they are not reserved at all, and I see that the two princes don't seem to like to take care of them very much. ”
Alas! Xie Shurou secretly rolled her eyes and decided not to speak ill of Li Yunzheng with her third sister. Although her relationship with Li Yunzheng is not good...... But they are both vicious female partners, so why not be in a hurry to fry each other.
Xie Shurou reluctantly followed her grandmother and cousin to greet the two princes, she originally thought that she would go through the motions like soy sauce, and like all the female partners and passers-by present, she saluted, said goodbye, and evacuated safely.
However, what people didn't expect was that a bigger accident was waiting for her! Xie Shurou really couldn't figure out which tendon was wrong with the sixth prince Zheng Jin, and why she suddenly smiled so gently and warmly at her.
Zheng Jin is good-looking, and she naturally looks better when she smiles, but Xie Shurou feels that such a smile is too terrible, which makes her feel cold all over her body.
"Miss Shurou," Zheng Jin said, "I said goodbye to Prince Li's Mansion last year, but I haven't seen him for more than half a year. Miss Shurou is still so beautiful and elegant, which is unforgettable at first sight. ”
