Chapter 147: Attending a Banquet

Everyone didn't speak when they heard her words, Le Xishuang likes the five princes in the capital, no one doesn't know, but it's a pity that her aunt is the queen, the fourth prince and the eldest prince are her cousins, and the relationship with the fifth prince is competitive, so even if Le Xishuang likes it, it's useless, no one will support her to marry the fifth prince.

Le Xishuang swept all the things on the table to the ground angrily, she was really angry, why did the fifth prince hold a child, who was it, which vixen was so bold that he dared to rob people with her!

Soon the front of the competition began, and the back also put away the gossip thoughts, and Le Xishuang slowly retracted her expression and began to prepare for the game seriously, she thought about it, if this competition was over, she would go to her aunt to ask her aunt to marry herself and the five princes.

Of course, the finals are different from before, in addition to competing for talent, but also to compete for the overall image, at this point Su Ruoyan won the second place, the first place is the beauty who taught Le Xishuang yesterday, her name is Meng Shuxue, Meng Shuxue is the granddaughter of Meng Taishi, the niece of the queen's mother, and the daughter of Uncle Le Xishuang.

When Le Yan heard this, he understood why Le Yuankai abandoned her mother back then, it turned out that he was favored by Meng Taishi's daughter and the queen's own sister.

Meng Shuxue is the first beauty and talented woman in the capital, she is very good at piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and naturally won the first place of the peony fairy this time, the second and third places are the two county lords in the prince's mansion, the fourth place is Su Ruoyan, and the fifth place is Le Xishuang.

When she knew the ranking, Le Xishuang's face sank suddenly, and it was useless for her to be jealous even if she lost to Meng Shuxue, because although her father said that he was the prime minister, it was not the power of her grandfather's family that was reliable, so she didn't dare to be presumptuous in front of Meng Shuxue.

The two county masters are royal people, of course she doesn't dare to compete with them, but why is Su Ruyan, just the daughter of a prefect, and she dares to compete for the ranking with herself like this, doesn't she just want to marry a good family?

She didn't let her go well, and Le Xishuang also made up her mind to do something about Su Ruoyan's marriage, so that no one in the capital would dare to marry her, but what she didn't know was that she did this just in line with Su Ruoyan's thoughts.

Su Ruoyan knew her ranking and couldn't believe it, except for dancing and calligraphy and painting, her own talents were really so-so! Maybe I got such a high ranking, thanks to the image competition, I won the second place! Speaking of which, it's all the credit of Le Yan.

"Yan Yan, you are so amazing!" Su Ruoyan looked at Le Yan with admiration and said.

Le Yan smiled and shook his head, "What are you talking about!" Speaking of which, you're amazing! If you hadn't been able to get this place yourself? ”

"Not really!" Su Ruoyan nodded, "It's you who are amazing." ”

Le Yan stopped arguing with her, and smiled slightly, "It's good that the game is over!" I guess your dad will be happy if you get such a good ranking this time! ”

Su Ruyan's face was bitter when she heard this, "Yes! After saying that, he bowed his head and did not speak.

Le Yan paused, and then changed the topic and said, "Then let's pack up our things and go back to the post station, shall we?" "For today's game, they all got up early and arrived here!

Su Ruoyan shook her head and grabbed her, "Not yet, I have to go to the banquet later!" ”

Le Yan nodded, can't you celebrate when the game is over? Even in modern times, you have to go to dinner, and in ancient times, you were not allowed to participate in banquets?

"Where is the banquet?" Le Yan asked curiously.

Su Ruoyan glanced around a few times, "I heard that it was in the Taishi Mansion." ”

Meng Shuxue won the first place and became this year's peony fairy, and during the New Year, she will go to the peony garden on behalf of the royal family to pray for the blessing of the whole country, which is a supreme honor, and Meng Taishi's mansion naturally has to hold a banquet to celebrate.

Le Yan nodded, packed up her things, and put the broken cosmetics in a cloth bag, ready to take them back and put them in other bottles that could be used.

After eating at the competition venue, a group of girls got into a carriage and set off towards Meng Taishi's mansion under the greeting of Meng Shuxue.

Le Yan and Su Ruoyan sat in the carriage, looking at the streets on both sides, she sighed silently, this is the prosperous capital! Identity and status have become an unbridgeable gap here, and the royal family will definitely not accept her!

Thinking of becoming a stranger with Yan Sibei in the future, she felt a pain in her heart, and she was so uncomfortable that she couldn't breathe.

Su Ruoyan found that her eyes were red, and said a little strangely: "Yan Yan, what's wrong with you?" ”

Le Yan blinked his eyes quickly, shook his head and said, "It's okay, I just miss my mother!" ”

Hearing that she was homesick, Su Ruoyan didn't take it to heart, and comforted: "We can go home after the game, if you are in a hurry, we can leave tomorrow and the day after tomorrow!" ”

Le Yan shook her head, looked at her and said, "No need, your father should have other arrangements, right?" ”

Su Ruoyan's purpose in coming to the capital was to find a good family, but her goal was not achieved, how could the prefect allow her to go home!

Su Ruoyan sighed, "Yes, I guess my father wants me to live in the capital for a while!" He will come to the capital to report on his work during the Chinese New Year, and he probably wants to walk around at that time! ”

When Le Yan heard this, he couldn't help it! "Then you'll find a way to deal with it then! Don't conflict with your father, after all, your mother is alone in the house. ”

Le Yan could only tell her so, Su Ruoyan nodded.

Soon the carriage arrived at the door of the Taishi Mansion, Le Yan and Su Ruoyan got down from the carriage, originally only the ladies were invited, but Meng Shuxue didn't know what was going on, so she specially invited Le Yan.

The mighty stone lions on both sides of the tall mansion gate show the unusual status of the Taishi Mansion everywhere, and the subordinates stand at the door and wait for the ladies who come to Qian.

"Let's go!" Le Yan spoke softly, Su Ruoyan nodded, and several people walked inside.

The banquet was held in the garden of the Taishi's Mansion, and under the guidance of the subordinates, they arrived, and there were already many young ladies inside, and when they saw them coming, they all snorted coldly with disdain.

A few people just glanced at them lightly, some smiled kindly, and sighed, where there are many women, there are many struggles!

"It's really strange, can anyone come to the Taishi Mansion?"

"You don't know, people like them from a small place just want to join our circle."

"These women just want to marry a man with a good family background, and when they see a man, they want to seduce like a vixen."

As soon as Le Yan and the others sat down, someone began to say ugly things, there was no way, they were actually defeated by someone from a small place, and they were very unconvinced.

Le Yan didn't react at all when he heard these words, he just sat down and began to admire the garden of the Taishi Mansion, ignoring these words at all.

Su Ruoyan also learned from her, and the other party didn't react at all when these people said it, as if they had smashed their fists on cotton, and they didn't hurt others, but they were half angry with each other.
