Jinling West Street, Xie Feng Restaurant.

Sitting on the bench by the window on the second floor was Ling Chengyu.

He was still wearing a cyan trimmed embroidered robe, with long black hair tied up by a ribbon, and a faint warm smile on his face, watching the people coming and going outside the window, as if he was thinking about something.

West Street is bustling and lively, with bustling crowds and busy traffic.

On the table in front of him was a white piece of paper, with traces of folding, but it had been opened and laid flat on the table, and a celadon teacup was pressed into the corner of the paper.

"Commander of the Forbidden Army..."Ling Chengyu stretched out the silver-white folding fan in his hand, stared down at the painting on the folding fan, but muttered to himself irrelevant things, "It's a good opportunity." ”

Ruan Jingjia returned from a banquet in Beppu that day, returned to his Xihe courtyard with a calm face, walked straight to his boudoir, sat on the couch, pursed his lips and did not speak.

The maidservant Lu Lian, who was following her, saw her appearance and persuaded softly, "Miss, don't be angry, I don't think the third miss of the Liu family is not intentional." ”

"What is not intentional, she is clearly deliberately aimed at me." Ruan Jingjia said indignantly, her face was very ugly.

She wore a wisp of gold and a hundred butterflies to wear a flower cloud satin skirt today, the style and fabric are very exquisite, it was the festival when her mother Concubine Lin specially invited the best embroidery girl in Jinling to embroider her, the butterfly pattern is very labor-intensive and time-consuming, and the embroidery girl embroidered for more than 100 days before it was completed. The material of cloud satin is also appreciated by Mrs. Yide, which is smooth to the touch, high gloss, and very gorgeous and precious.

Ruan Jingjia herself looks very similar to her mother, her face is beautiful and charming, and her figure is slender.

She is not a low-key and peaceful kind on weekdays, she likes to be in the limelight, so naturally some people don't like her. It's just that most of the boudoir ladies who interact with her have family backgrounds that are not as good as her, so even if her temperament is not likeable, everyone pinched their noses and held her.

But the Liu Mansion where she went to the banquet today is the upstart family of Jinling, and she is very close to the third prince Ling Chenghe.

As the host, Miss Liu Fusan is the only lady in the big house of Liu Mansion, she has also been pampered since she was a child, and she looks down on her concubine, although she invited Ruan Jingjia, but it is also because she was born in the Ruan family and is the daughter of the king of Fenyang.

Seeing Ruan Jingjia coming over in such a gorgeous and ostentatious dress and skirt, it was clear that she didn't take herself seriously, and Miss Liu San's heart was very uplifting.

Miss Liu San naturally wouldn't go to Ruan Jingjia's stubble openly, but she said something weirdly.

"The calligraphy of the county lord of Yun'an at the state banquet really amazed everyone present, it was really amazing."

The people present at the banquet belonged to Miss Liu San, who had the highest status, and the rest were the daughters of some officials, and when they heard Miss Liu San say this, they all echoed there.

"What Miss Liu San said is that the county lord of Yun'an is worthy of being the daughter of the Ruan family, and she is very talented, far beyond everyone...", an official lady with a slightly round face and a relatively ordinary appearance said with a smile, "Although I have not had the honor to watch the Yun'an County Lord in the palace, I can often hear the deeds of the Yun'an County Lord during this time." ”

Another beautifully dressed young lady then continued, "I followed my father to the state banquet, and although I sat in the distance, I could also see the demeanor of the county lord of Yun'an. ”

Ruan Jingjia was originally sitting at the banquet with a smug smile on her face, but when she heard them mention Ruan Qinge, although there was still a smile on her face, it had faded a lot.

At this time, a young lady sitting next to Miss Liu San sighed, "The county lord of Yun'an won the competition against the princess of Nanning, which is really a breath of relief for us Dongyun." ”

She said a word and turned her head to look at Ruan Jingjia, "Speaking of the Yun'an County Lord, don't we also have a Second Miss Ruan here today." ”

Hearing the mention of herself, Ruan Jingjia didn't know why, but she was still a little complacent in her heart, and she nodded at the young lady with a reserved smile.

Seeing everyone looking at her, the smile on Ruan Jingjia's face widened.

The corners of Miss Liu San's mouth hooked up a smile, looked at Ruan Jingjia and said loudly, "Although Miss Ruan Er is not the serious sister of the Yun'an County Lord, she was born and raised in the Fenyang Palace, and they are both daughters of the Ruan family, so it is estimated that Wencai will not be much worse, right?" ”

Miss Liu San's words made everyone look at each other a little.

Among the ladies invited by Miss Liu San today, except for Ruan Jingjia, the others are the daughters of the family, and her words of "not a serious sister" are really sharp, and they are completely aimed at Ruan Jingjia.

Ruan Jingjia's face suddenly fell, her hands were clenched, and she looked at Miss Liu San with anger in her eyes.

At this time, the young lady sitting next to Miss Liu San immediately spoke, "Miss Liu San's words reminded me, I wonder if Miss Ruan Er can let us open our eyes?" ”

Miss Liu San's previous words were unkind, but Ruan Jingjia couldn't find a reason to refute them. Hearing the young lady next to her say this, Ruan Jingjia's lips moved a few times before she spit out a sentence, "I'm not good at calligraphy." ”

"How can Miss Ruan Er not be good at calligraphy?" Miss Liu San raised her eyebrows and said, "Don't you think we are not qualified to observe?" ”

Ruan Jingjia had already seen that Miss Liu San was deliberately trying to trouble herself, and she was annoyed in her heart, and replied stiffly, "If you are not good at it, you are not good at it, why should I lie to you." ”

"Hey, it turns out that Miss Ruan Er is not humble," Miss Liu San pretended to be surprised and said, "Blame me for me, I shouldn't have mentioned this." ”

"How can I blame you for this," said the young lady next to her, "Our Jinling daughter has been learning all kinds of talents since she was a child, and there will always be one that can be used." ”

She raised her eyes and smiled at Ruan Jingjia as she spoke, "Presumably Miss Ruan Er is good at other talents." ”

"That's just as well." Miss Liu San sang and harmonized with the young lady next to her, but the others did not speak.

Those official ladies didn't dare to offend Miss Liu San, but they didn't want to be hated by Ruan Jingjia, so they all kept their mouths shut and just watched the play there.

At this time, it was seen that Ruan Jingjia actually had no real good friends, and no one spoke for her on this occasion.

Miss Liu San seemed to have a dry mouth, took a sip of tea, looked at Ruan Tiange and said with a smile, "If Miss Ruan Er really doesn't want to write, it's still okay to play the piano and chant poetry, right?" ”

Ruan Jingjia's face was very ugly, "Why does Miss Liu San have to show me today?" Is this the hospitality of your Liu Mansion? ”

When Miss Liu San heard her words, her face also pale, "What do you mean by Miss Ruan's words, I kindly invited you to come over as a guest, how can you say that it seems that I have bad intentions?" ”
