Murong Yue is wearing a azure slanted robe today, wearing a jade crown on her head, and a white jade pendant hanging from her waist, the whole person looks comfortable and elegant, even if she has seen the person in front of her countless times, but every time Lin Yingxue has to sigh in her heart about the blood of the royal family - but all the children of the royal family, regardless of men and women, all have a good skin.

"Is it pretty?" Lin Yingxue didn't notice that Murong Jun had already walked to her for a while, and the person in front of her looked at her with a playful look, and a pair of peach blossom eyes seemed to have a kind of seductive magic, which made it difficult for people to look away once they met.

However, Lin Yingxue and Murong Jun have known each other for so long, and they have finally developed a little resistance, and they only returned to normal after a little shake of their minds.

"What do you think of the Third Highness?" Lin Yingxue gave Murong Jun a roll of her eyes, because she didn't want to make the person in front of her too proud, so she didn't answer positively.

Murong Jun saw the answer he wanted from Lin Yingxue's face, and he no longer asked, but gave a look to Lin Yingxiang on the side, "The second lady is also here." ”

is also a greeting, when Murong Jun and Lin Yingxiang talked, his tone was much colder, but Lin Yingxiang didn't care. There was a faint flush floating on her delicate face, like a pink moon blooming in the imperial garden, with a little bit of the shyness of her little daughter's family.

"Your Highness." Lin Yingxiang lowered his head, and his soft-spoken appearance was no longer as generous as when he opened his mouth to call Murong Jun.

It's a pity that Murong Jun didn't pay attention to such a desire to talk at all - he just glanced at Lin Yingxiang as he spoke, and then he turned his head again, "Yue'er is over there, why don't you go over and say hello?" ”

"Brother Jun!" Lin Yingxue opened her mouth and was about to answer, but an unfamiliar voice sounded before she could speak.

She couldn't help but turn her head to look, only to see Murong Yue walking side by side with a young woman, the woman was wearing a narrow waist long skirt with blue water, her hair was tied up high, and she only had a simple hosta hairpin on her head, giving birth to a goose egg face, with a smile on her eyebrows and eyes, and the corners of her mouth slightly raised. Different from the beautiful women she usually sees, the whole person in front of her has a heroic and sassy taste.

Just when Lin Yingxue was carefully looking at the woman, the woman had already stepped forward.

"Mengru?" Murong Jun was obviously very familiar with the woman who had just spoken, he reached out and gently flicked Fang Mengru's forehead, and said with a smile: "When did you come back?" I didn't even send a message back in advance. ”

"I just arrived in the morning, and after going home to report that I was safe, I came running around." Fang Mengru opened Murong Jun's hand with a smile, and then turned her head to look at Lin Yingxue and Lin Yingxiang on the side, "Who are these two?" I haven't seen him for three years, but the confidantes around Brother Jun are still not missing at all. ”

Fang Mengru was joking when she heard this, so no one cared. After several people introduced each other, Lin Yingxue learned that the woman with a bold temperament in front of her was Prime Minister Fang Cheng's only daughter, Fang Mengru. Because she has always liked to practice martial arts since she was a child, three years ago, despite the opposition of her family, she insisted on going to other places to learn art, and now she is coming back on this day, half because her master thinks she can already be a teacher, and the other half is specially to catch up with Murong Yue's birthday.

Murong Jun and Murong Yue had not seen Fang Mengru for a long time, and the three of them chatted very lively, as for Lin Yingxue and Lin Yingxiang on the side, they were a little redundant at this time.

Lin Yingxue wanted to retreat a little and leave the three of them to reminisce, but who knew that Lin Yingxiang next to her didn't know if she didn't understand what she meant, and after she took two steps aside, Lin Yingxiang was still in place and didn't move.

Anyway, Lin Yingxiang represents the Lin family with her today, and she also promised to take care of Lin Yingxiang before entering the palace, so it is impossible for her to leave Lin Yingxiang here alone at this time.

'Ahem', Lin Yingxue had no choice but to cough twice in a low voice, Lin Yingxiang on the side really noticed her, and hurriedly stepped forward and lowered her voice: "Fifth sister, did you see the Third Highness talking to Miss Fang, so you feel uncomfortable?" ”

Lin Yingxiang's voice was not loud or small, but it was just enough for a few people on the side to hear it.

And Lin Yingxue was frightened by Lin Yingxiang's strange remarks that suddenly appeared, and was stunned on the spot, just looking at Lin Yingxiang's innocent look, Lin Yingxue didn't know whether Lin Yingxiang's words were intentional or unintentional.

"What, is this young lady really Brother Jun's confidante?" On the other side, Murong Jun and the three of them also refocused their attention on Lin Yingxue because of Lin Yingxiang's words.

Seeing Fang Mengru's suspicious gaze looking up and down on her, Lin Yingxue only felt that the person in front of her seemed to have misunderstood something.

"No ......"

"Exactly, Miss Fifth is intelligent, knowledgeable, gentle and generous, it is my confidante, I don't know what Mengru thinks of Miss Fifth when I see it today?" Murong Jun didn't think it was a big deal to see the excitement, and as soon as Lin Yingxue spoke, he said a lot of nonsense about her advantages.

Lin Yingxue was helpless in her heart, looking at more and more people around her with hostile glances at her, she knew that she couldn't explain it if she wanted to explain it now.

Stubbornly facing Mengru's faintly unhappy eyes, Lin Yingxue barely squeezed out a smile, "The Third Highness is a false praise, there are so many confidants around the Third Highness, what am I worth." ”

Lin Yingxue tried her best to shift the focus of the topic, but Fang Mengru didn't like her, "Fifth Miss is modest, there are not many women who can be praised by Brother Jun, and Fifth Miss must be outstanding." ”

Fang Mengru stepped forward as she spoke, looking at the serious face of the person in front of her, Lin Yingxue couldn't help but have a bad premonition in her heart-shouldn't the person in front of her be going to fight her because of these words, right?

"Miss Five." Although the real situation was a little different from what Lin Yingxue expected, Fang Mengru's words surprised her even more than Lin Yingxue expected: "I have liked Brother Jun since I was a child, and I hope to marry Brother Jun in the future." Although Brother Jun is interested in Miss Fifth now, I will not give up so easily. Miss Five, I think we'll meet more often in the future. ”

This is...... Did you challenge her?

Lin Yingxue was stunned for a moment, she didn't expect the person in front of her to be so straightforward and frank, and she didn't expect that the person in front of her would really take Murong Jun's words seriously.

"This ......" She didn't know how to answer the person in front of her for a while, so she had to turn her head and look at Murong Jun on the side, but Murong Jun didn't know what he was thinking, so he didn't look at her at all.

Lin Yingxue had no choice but to turn her gaze to Murong Yue's body again, wanting Murong Yue to explain for her, but what Murong Yue said almost didn't make her squirt out a mouthful of old blood-"Yingxue, when did you become so close to the third brother, why didn't I know at all?" ”

That's it...... Finished......

Lin Yingxue only felt that her head was a little big for a moment. Now the only thing she is fortunate about is that the woman in front of her seems to be acting above board, and she should not secretly target her because of this misunderstanding, for the sake of now, she can only participate in this banquet first, and after the banquet is over, she will find a chance to find the person in front of her to explain things clearly.

Under everyone's own thoughts, the banquet finally officially entered the climax - various maiko and opera troupes began to perform in turn, and even folk jugglers were invited into the palace in order to please Murong Yue. Under the hard work of these people, the atmosphere in the entire palace was like a pot of boiling hot water, and it suddenly began to boil.

The emperor and queen arrived before the dinner began, "See the emperor and the queen." Everyone saluted, and the uniform voice made the whole scene a little more dignified.

"Father, mother." After the emperor and queen sat down, Murong Yue couldn't wait to rush to the side of the two, looking at Murong Yue whispering softly beside the emperor and queen, and the family was happy, everyone sighed in their hearts that Murong Yue really deserved to be the most favored princess today, just such intimacy, the degree of favor for him can be seen.

"Good boy, are you having a good time on your birthday today?" The emperor stroked Murong Yue's head, and his soft-spoken appearance was no different from that of an ordinary father.

"Happy!" Murong Yue grinned and was about to continue speaking, but the sound of silk and bamboo music suddenly sounded below.

Shouldn't all the showings have already been performed? Murong Yue couldn't help but turn her head to look at the open space below, only to see that as the music sounded, another batch of maiko appeared on the empty field, different from the maiko of Fang Cai, these maiko were all veiled and holding unopened soft swords in their hands.

Such an appearance attracted everyone's attention for a while, and the surroundings suddenly fell silent.

The emperor looked at the group of maiko and said with interest: "Soft and strong, powerful movements, this sword dance is a bit interesting." ”

As an emperor, what kind of dance has the emperor never seen? At this time, the emperor was able to praise him personally, so you can imagine how skilled this group of maiko is. As the drums became more and more rapid, the movements of the maiko danced faster and faster, and finally it was dazzling, and everyone's minds seemed to tense little by little with the movements of the maiko, and finally with a 'bang', the last drum beat fell, and the maiko stopped in a difficult movement.

All the music suddenly stopped at this moment, and just when everyone had finished the dance, several eunuchs suddenly appeared below, and they carried pure white screens to the middle, and the dancers immediately scattered in all directions, surrounding the screen in the middle.

The eunuchs moved very fast, and others only saw those eunuchs quickly retreat after putting down a circle of screens, but they didn't know when the figure of the man who was surrounded by the screen appeared.

Then, the music began to sound again, and the dancers around the screen began to dance again, but everyone's eyes couldn't help but fall on the figure of the man in the screen.

Who is that man? This is a question in everyone's heart, and it is also a question in Lin Yingxue's heart, for some reason, Lin Yingxue always feels that the vague figure surrounded by the screen is a little familiar, could it be someone she knows?

Lin Yingxue thought about it, and her eyes inadvertently swept to Murong Yue above, only to see Murong Yue's eyes first widen and look at the figure inside the screen in surprise, but then she didn't know if she recognized the identity of the figure behind the screen, and a big smile appeared on her face uncontrollably.

This is the happiest smile that Lin Yingxue saw at today's banquet, and Murong Yue showed.
