The two of them laughed and went to the pavilion near the shadow wall, and seeing this, the maids hurriedly laid out the brocade mat and offered fragrant tea and melons and fruits.

Except for a few princesses, with Xie Yanhe's identity, the rest of the people were not qualified to let her go out to greet her.

"Who did you invite for today's post?" Princess Fuqing dragged it with a handkerchief, picked up the silver fork of the ginkgo biloba leaf and forked a piece of melon on the crystal plate and put it in her mouth, the crisp and sweet and refreshing taste suddenly made her squint comfortably: "This melon is actually sweeter than the tribute given by my father." ”

Xie Yanhe blinked his eyes: "It's a melon field that my brother specially set out, and I found a skilled hand to plant it, and every year I will pick the best melons and fruits and send them to me." ”

When Princess Fuqing heard this, her teeth suddenly became sore, and she said with a little amazement: "I have long heard that Marquis Jingping loves her sister very much. Yonghe, I really envy you for having such a good brother. ”

Princess Fuqing couldn't help but think of her brother who died early, if her brother was still alive, she would probably be like Marquis Jingping, protecting her own sister under his wings and sheltering her from the wind and rain.

"Your Royal Highness......" Xie Yan and Princess Fuqing's emotions were not quite right, and they couldn't help but call softly.

"It's fine." Princess Fuqing smiled to herself, "I've been thinking a lot lately, maybe it's because I haven't slept well." ”

"Your Highness, take care of your health." The corners of Xie Yanhe's lips curved a shallow arc, and she said softly: "In the future, I will rely on His Highness." ”

Princess Fuqing's phoenix eyes flashed, and she said meaningfully: "What you said is not right, I am the one who needs to rely on you." ”

Xie Yanhe moved his lips, but stopped abruptly after catching a glimpse of the woman who turned out behind the shadow wall, a strange light flashed in her peach blossom eyes, and she lowered her voice and said, "Your Highness, the county lord of Jinghua and Miss Wu are here." ”

I saw that the woman who hit the head was wearing a lilac purple treasure flower skirt, with a peony bun on her head, and a complete set of gold and silk emerald inlaid turquoise jewelry.

Next to the county lord of Jinghua, a young girl in a water-green Luo skirt held her arm and walked side by side with her.

The girl has a simple double snail bun on her head, a row of mutton fat white jade jasmine hairpins inserted on her black, shiny hair, a goose egg face that is suitable for anger and joy, a nose and cherry lips, and watery apricot eyes as if she can speak.

However, the most brilliant thing is the girl's snow-white skin, like a good milk tofu, white and greasy, as if it will melt in the sun in the next moment.

Princess Fuqing whispered to Xie Yanhe: "This is Wu Bijun?" ”

Her gaze slowly swept over the dignified, beautiful girl, and her expression was full of approval: "You are really good-looking. The favorite of the royal family is such a decent look. ”

"You can't say it's all decent." Xie Yanhe had already stood up, and she lowered her voice and said, "Miss Wu's snow skin is rumored to be raised with human milk, and even Chen Rong can't compare to it. ”

Princess Fuqing agrees with this, except for Xie Yan and a god-given ice muscle and jade bone, Princess Fuqing has really never seen a second one who can beat Wu Bijun.

"Aunt Jinghua." Xie Yanhe greeted the county lord of Jinghua with a smile, as if there was no discord between the two.

"How can you come to greet you in person?" In the days when the county lord of Jinghua County was locked up in Dali Temple, he had long been frightened by the emperor, and now that he saw Xie Yanhe, the whole person was three points shorter first.

"What did my aunt say, how can I be rude when I am a junior." Xie Yan and a pair of bright eyes as bright as stars bent, and their eyes fell on the girl beside the county lord of Jinghua: "Presumably this is the righteous daughter that my aunt recognizes?" ”

Wu Bijun was clever and hurriedly saluted Xie Yanhe: "The people see the county lord of Yonghe, please the county lord Fu'an." ”

"Miss Wu is exempt. Speaking of which, Miss Wu and I have a relationship in Jiangnan, I wonder if Miss Wu remembers? ”

Xie Yan and a self-contained smile appeared on his cheeks and muscles, revealing a hint of kindness in his dignity.

Wu Bijun immediately said with surprise in his eyes: "The county lord has a peerless appearance, and he has the legacy of the Wei and Jin dynasties, which makes the people forget the customs at first sight. It's a pity that the people's daughter and the county lord are stingy, but I didn't expect that today's people's daughter can look up to the demeanor of the county lord, which is really a blessing for three lives. ”

When Xie Yanhe heard this, he smiled on his face and said lightly: "Miss Wu has such a honey mouth, so my heart is sweeter than eating honey." ”

Wu Bijun hurriedly said: "County lord, the people's daughter's words come from the bottom of her heart, and there is no lie. ”

"Yonghe, Bijun is a sincere child, she admires you very much in private." The county lord of Jinghua and Wu Bijun have really cultivated a bit of mother-daughter friendship in the past few days, and they are smiling to relieve the siege of their righteous daughter.

Xie Yanhe smiled slightly, took the initiative to take a step back, and his voice was as gentle as water: "Her Royal Highness Princess Fuqing is in the pavilion in front, can my aunt go over to say hello?" ”

Xie Yan and this side, suddenly the red skirt exposed outside the rockery that she covered was exposed, and under the bright sunlight, the gold pattern on the red was like a flowing water wave, exuding a gorgeous and dazzling brilliance.

The pupils of the county lord of Jinghua shrank, and he couldn't help but shudder. She remembered how domineering Princess Fuqing's female official was that day.

The county lord of Jinghua suddenly smiled and said, "It should be like this." ”

Hearing this, Xie Yanhe raised his hand to greet the mandarin duck standing quietly behind her: "You accompany your aunt to greet Her Royal Highness the princess, and I will wait for the two cousins here." ”

When the county lord of Jinghua walked away, Xie Yan and his delicate faces showed a sneer, and the eyes of Jiaobo were even more cold, which made people feel frightened.

After the county lord of Jinghua left, several groups of guests came one after another.

Xie Yanhe invited the ladies of the clan, the noble family, and the families of the third rank and above to the banquet today, and sent out hundreds of posts, but only one-twelfth of the guests came.

It is a good-tempered person such as jade and agate, and under the anger, he can't help but show some traces on his face.

"County lord, seeing that you are about to arrive in the corner, the eldest aunt and the second aunt have not come yet, you don't have to wait any longer." Onyx said very unevenly.

On the same day, Onyx sent the post to the house of the two aunts and grandmothers of the Xie family who had already married, but only waited for the eldest girl next to Mrs. Shizi, and after accepting the invitation, she sent Onyx away in a few words.

Agate, as Xie Yanhe's personal maid, was given a cold reception in the Cai Guogong Mansion and the Changling Marquis Mansion, although she secretly hated Xie You and Xie Qin for losing the face of the county lord, but in order not to bother the county lord, she swallowed this grievance into her stomach alone.

Unexpectedly, on the day of the main banquet, Xie You and Xie Qin seemed to say hello, and they actually responded to the invitation of the county lord together.

"Angry what." Different from the righteous indignation of the people below, Xie Yan and a beautiful face did not see a trace of waves, and she said leisurely: "You must do enough courtesy." ”

After today, I am afraid that the entire capital will know that Xie You and Xie Qin have no respect for Xie Yan and this cousin.

"Your two good sisters haven't come yet?"

Princess Fuqing waited impatiently in the gazebo, and walked towards Xie Yanhe with her skirt, with a touch of anger on her eyebrows, she said coldly: "Even if they can't come, they should send someone to say hello to you, so rude, the rules of more than 20 years have been learned in the dog's belly?!" ”

"Why should Your Highness be angry?" Xie Yanhe took the initiative to hold Princess Fuqing's arm, with a smile on his face: "The two of them are rude, they are at fault first, why punish yourself for other people's mistakes." ”

Princess Fuqing raised her eyebrows and glanced at Xie Yanhe with a smile: "I don't know, when did you become so good-tempered?" ”

"A gentleman takes revenge, three years is not too late." Xie Yanhe's tone was cold, and she said slowly: "Your Majesty will come to cheer me today, those ladies who don't come under pretexts, I'm afraid that after today, their intestines will regret it." ”

Princess Fuqing was stunned, her eyes crossed over Xie Yanhe's body, and a pair of beautiful eyes flashed, and she said curiously: "When did you reconcile with your father?" Even I was kept in the dark. ”

"When will I be angry with Your Majesty?" Xie Yanhe didn't seem to hear the ridicule in Princess Fuqing's words, and she retorted: "In front of the king, I am a courtier, how dare I be presumptuous!" ”

"Okay, okay, if I said the wrong thing, I will make amends to you." Princess Fuqing didn't realize that her words were actually stabbing the hornet's nest, so she had to soften her body and make amends to Xie Yanhe, "Yonghe, you have a lot, spare me this time." ”

Xie Yanhe snorted softly. It's not a pleasant feeling to be counting your allies all the time.

Xie Yanhe and Princess Fuqing's footsteps were not slow, but with a stick of incense, the two of them returned to the banquet.

Everyone has already sat down in different seats, Princess Yichang and Princess Duanmin have formed a seat, the two princesses are headed, the sister of the Hui nobles in the palace, Cui Zisu, the young daughter of the Cui family, is dressed in a flower branch, wearing a silk skirt worth 100 gold, wearing a gorgeous and complicated butterfly love flower on the spirit snake bun, and the ruby hanging under the golden hairpin is the size of a thumb nail, and the dress is actually grand.

Xie Yan and a pair of peach blossom eyes flashed, and in an instant, they were blessed to their hearts, and they immediately guessed who Yichang and Duanmin were going to calculate today.

Xie Yanhe, as the host of this banquet, sat on a separate dining table, she picked up the silver-gilt and gold-inlaid treasure unicorn ear three-legged wine bottle on the table, and raised her glass to everyone, her sweet and soft voice flowed through everyone's hearts like a flowing spring: "The guests don't need to take care of the golden bondage, the host has a wine king." Please look at the flowers in the garden, and the branches on the ground are gradually thinning. ”

After Xie Yanhe finished his speech, he drank the beautiful and brilliant Liuxia wine in the golden bottle.

The ladies present also raised their glasses.

When everyone put down the wine bottle, Xie Yanhe high-fived.

Just listen to the bells and drums gradually set, the silk and bamboo gradually rise, a row of maids dressed in colorful clothes, young and jade-looking women holding trays in both hands, the delicate and delicious dishes one by one on the guests' dining tables.
