Chapter Seventy-One
June 16 Royal Palace
Today is the day of the birthday banquet of the palace, and Cen Xijun is not too late, but when he arrived, there were already many carriages parked at the gate of the palace. There is an endless stream of guests, and there is a crowd of people standing at the gate to attract them to send them to, so it is not lively.
"Hello Young Master Cen! You go inside, my little master and all the young masters and young ladies are in Huifang Hall, I will send someone to lead you there, and the little son of the Yu family is also there. ”
Because Master Cen went to Hanyang Mansion, Mrs. Cen missed her husband these days and was in poor spirits, so Cen Mansion only went to the banquet alone. Because it was a birthday banquet, Cen Xijun changed out of the dark robe of the past today, and deliberately wore an ultramarine caftan shirt, followed by a handsome-looking little guy holding a congratulatory gift, which was unexpectedly dazzling in the crowd.
The palace housekeeper who greeted the guests at the door saw Cen Xijun at a glance, and hurriedly went down the steps to meet him, with an eager attitude, and specially sent someone to lead the way for Cen Ximi.
This posture caused the guests to look at them several times, and it was only when they saw the young man's appearance that it dawned on them. Cen Xijun is Yu Jin's fiancé, as Miss Yu's maternal grandfather, it is not surprising that the people in the palace pay more attention. Maybe we'll have to take advantage of this banquet to see each other!
"Thank you, butler."
With a smile on his face, Cen Xijun signaled the little guy behind him to hand over the congratulatory gift to the housekeeper, and thanked the housekeeper very politely for his arrangement, and then followed the little guy who led the way to Huifang Hall. The housekeeper's words were very tactful, and he specially told him that the young master of the Yu family was in Huifang Hall, just to tell him that Yu Jin was also there, but because of the large number of people, he didn't say it directly.
Cen Xijun didn't delay and followed people directly to Huifang Hall. In the past few days, because Mrs. Cen is not in good health, Cen Xijun has been taking care of her at home, and even the private school has invited friends to help with substitute teaching, and Yufu has called a small servant to deliver a message, explaining the reason, and he has not gone for the past few days. In this way, he and Yu Jin have not seen each other for four days, and they went to the banquet today because they wanted to avoid suspicion, so they did not come together, so Cen Xijun had to take advantage of the banquet to see her.
Cen Xijun followed the little guy who led the way through a hanging flower door, and saw the plaque of Huifang Hall from a distance. Outside the hall door is a path paved with pebbles of smooth color and uniform shape, and two rows of peonies are placed on the left and right sides of the path. On the inside is 'Shouxing Red' grown in small pots, while on the outside is 'Purple Juro' grown in slightly larger pots. Along the way, the red and purple colors complement each other, because the inner 'birthday red' peony flowers are smaller and the outer 'purple heavy building' flowers are full and huge, so not only does not have a sense of color messy and tacky, but looks magnificent because of the extremely exquisite arrangement.
If you go further, you will see the scene in the hall. Huifang Hall did not follow the rules of ordinary halls, but boldly opened the front and back of the room, and directly connected to a long corridor at the back. The promenade is planted with roses from the top and let them hang down, forming a natural curtain. The color of the roses is like fire, and it is very beautiful to climb the stone pillar. The entire Huifang Hall is wrapped in it, and entering the hall is entering the painting.
"Why doesn't Sister Xiaojin go to the hall to play?"
As soon as Cen Xifu entered the hall, he saw Yu Jin sitting in the corridor, and was about to go over, but saw a woman rushing towards Yu Jin, with a smile on her face, but there was some contempt between her eyebrows, and Cen Xiyi couldn't help but speed up her pace when she saw this.
"Sister Wang, you are here too! I just feel a little stuffy in the hall, and I just come out to breathe. ”
When Yu Jin heard this, he turned his head and saw Wang Feifei in a water-red jacket skirt, and then explained with a smile.
"But you're not feeling well? Alas...... Poor sister is like an icy person, how can she be so sick and weak......"
Wang Feifei asked with concern, and seemed to regret that Yu Jin was not in good health, and he seemed to sigh mercilessly to insert a knife into Yu Jin's heart.
Yu Jin was stunned when he heard this, and he was a little at a loss. Wang Feifei's voice was neither loud nor small, but it was enough for the surrounding group of young masters and young ladies to hear. Yu Jin rarely goes out, and everyone is a new face, as soon as Wang Feifei said this, Yu Jin felt that there were a lot of unfamiliar eyes on her body, and the meaning of looking and scrutinizing made her a little uncomfortable.
"It's Jin'er who worries Sister Wang, it's just that everyone has their own lives."
Yu Jin spoke lightly, his expression calm, as if he was not affected by Wang Feifei's words.
"No, no, no, it's me who is not good, and the nonsense has made Sister Jin'er sad. By the way, today my grandfather also specially invited all the guests to go to the royal family's horse farm to ride horses, sister, you must go! I also want to have a good time with my sister, and I should make amends for what I just said! ”
Wang Feifei seemed to suddenly realize that his words were not appropriate, and immediately stepped forward and sat down next to Yu Jin, and held her hand very affectionately and apologized. Before Yu Jin could speak, he hurriedly invited Yu Jin to play at the racecourse.
"Sister Wang's kindness is appreciated, but I don't know how to ride a horse......"
"Ouch! The racecourse is not just about horse riding, it's okay if you don't know how to ride a horse, there are horse races to see today, you just go to see the excitement and fresh! Besides, all the young ladies will be going later, so how can I leave you here alone? ”
Before Yu Jin could finish refusing words, he was interrupted by Wang Feifei. Wang Feifei turned a deaf ear to Yu Jin's refusal, and still took Yu Jin's hand and tried his best to persuade him, quite a momentum that Yu Jin would not give up if he did not agree.
"That'...... All right! ”
Yu Jin really didn't want to go, but he couldn't stand Wang Feifei's hard entanglement, so he agreed. Yu Jin's face was slightly pale, and the fat powder on Wang Feifei's body was a little heavy, and now he has been rubbing against Yu Jin's side, and it has been smoked so that Yu Jin's chest is becoming more and more dull.
"Miss Wang has always liked to persecute people like this?"
Wang Feifei was still happy that Yu Jin agreed to go to the racecourse, but a cold male voice sounded but it directly made her freeze her smile and couldn't get off the stage.
Wang Feifei looked over with a cold face but was stunned, and quickly put away his anger, still looking weak and beautiful, and asked Cen Xiyu:
"Why did Childe say that?"
Wang Feifei's voice was originally good, but now with some grievances, it sounds extremely innocent and delicate. After Wang Feifei finished speaking, a pair of phoenix eyes fell on Cen Xi's face, as if he was silently questioning why he slandered her so much. It's end-of-the-road end.
Wang Feifei is the eldest daughter of the second son of Mrs. Wang, and she should be Yu Jin's cousin. Yu Jin has had a fiancé Wang Feifei since he was a child, that is, even she knows that his name is Cen Xijun, but Wang Feifei has not seen Cen Xijun. Seeing such a handsome man in front of him now, Wang Feifei thought that he was the noble son of a family, and he only cared about showing himself, but he didn't think about Yu Jin.
"Miss Yu doesn't want to go to the racecourse, so if you don't go, why do you insist on forcing her to go, Miss Wang?"
Cen Xijun walked to Yu Jin's side, and did not immediately step forward to talk to her, but continued to reason with Wang Feifei.
