Because the Seventh Prince helped their Xia family a great favor last time, Xia Huaiqing specially invited a chef from Zuixian Mansion to thank the prince for his kindness, and invited the prince to eat in the Hou Mansion.

"Master Hou said, let the girl dress more gorgeously today." took out the plain white solid color silver hairpin she selected from Xia Zhixue's hand, and took out the pink bead hairpin, thinking that she was going to say goodbye to Xia Zhixue's head.

Laughing from the halfway point, the lotus smiled at the grooming maid: "You go and watch the girl's soothing tea is cooked, I'll just come here."

"Yes," the little girl responded, walked a few steps, felt uneasy, and came back and specially instructed: "Master Hou said that today's girl can't go to be as plain as usual."

"Got it." Lotus flowers.

Put the pink hairpin in his hand on the dresser, pick up the silver hairpin again, and slowly insert the lotus into the bun that was pulled up: "The girl still looks better with plain energy."

Looking at the pearl hairpin in the bronze mirror, Xia Zhixue looked at it quietly for a while, stretched out her hand and pulled it out, pinched the lotus on the table with two fingers, handed it to the lotus behind her, and said lightly: "According to Daddy's will."

"Yes."

……

"I don't know who to show when I'm so glamorous." Xia Zhixue was already white, and her eyes were as watery as black grapes, but today she was not as plain as usual, wearing a tender pink skirt, with a corresponding pearl hairpin on her head, and the rouge on her face was heavier than before, a little more mature than Su Ri. Xia Zhiqiu was jealous and looked at her back hatefully.

Su Shi walked beside her, reached out and patted her hand, signaling her to calm down, not to be so angry.

"The third sister is getting better and better now." Mingru followed Xia Chengdao and Ying Ying walked over.

Since her father came to the Hou Mansion to teach them a lesson that day, Mingru's courtyard was completely peaceful, although she couldn't help but look at Shen Wei's face, but she was much more restrained than usual, and she didn't provoke her much.

Xia Zhixue's expression was always faint, until she saw Mingru, she eased up a little, and nodded at her with a smile.

Half an hour later, Ouyang Huaisen and his entourage arrived late.

"Master Hou, I'm sorry, there are some things in the house that have been delayed, and it's too late." Ouyang Huaisen arched his hand at Xia Huaiqing.

"If the prince is right, if you can come, we will make our Hou Mansion shine." Xia Huaiqing is also a good person, and he actually picked something good, only to coax Ouyang Huaiyu to laugh.

followed Xia Huaiqing to the seat, and when he passed by Xia Zhixue, he looked at it twice, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he smiled at the corner of his eyes: "The third sister is particularly good-looking today."

raised a smile without emotion: "Thank you for your praise."

When everyone sat down, the Xia family and Ouyang Huaisen staggered for two hours, and such a meal was over.

In order to entertain the prince, Xia Huaiqing really took out all the old books and ordered someone to dig out the oldest jar of wine from the cellar.

"Master Hou, this is really good wine." drank too much, Ouyang Huaisen spoke with the smell of alcohol.

Just looking at his flowing appearance, Xia Zhixue frowned slightly, did she choose the wrong person? What can he accomplish with his appearance? Don't let the two of them form an alliance in the future, she helps him deal with the aftermath all day long, which is really disgusting.

Quietly moved the stool away from the two people who were already unconscious.

"What good wine? Let this king taste it. The familiar male voice was getting closer and closer, Xia Zhixue smelled a familiar smell of clothes, and her heart was not as irritable as Fang Cai in an instant.

Although Xia Huaiqing was also slightly drunk, he didn't dare to drink too much, but he still knew people's faces, and when he heard Ouyang Huaiyu's voice, he said in his heart: Is there green smoke coming from the ancestral tomb of the Xia family today? Why did the two Buddhas come together?

Standing up with a flushed face, he stumbled over with Su's support: "The prince came just in time, sit down, there is good wine today!"

Sitting next to Xia Zhixue's position, Ouyang Huaiyu patted Xia Chengdao's shoulder: "Your father looks drunk."

Xia Chengdao was sincerely afraid, and he couldn't figure out what the prince meant by this, so he only reminded Xia Huaiqing in fear: "Father, drink less."

There was also a faint smell of alcohol on that person, and as soon as he sat down, Xia Zhixue smelled it, and the corners of his mouth pulled slightly, but he didn't dodge it like Fang Cai.

Su was afraid that the prince would be angry, and seeing that Xia Zhixue was not interested and didn't know how to stay away from the prince, he only reminded his daughter with his eyes, and then got up with a light smile and walked to Xia Huaiqing's side: "Master Hou is drunk, go and sober up and come over again."

nodded apologetically to the people at the table, and then helped Xia Huaiqing to the backyard to sober up with his subordinates.

Receiving a reminder from his mother, Xia Zhiqiu said softly: "I haven't seen the prince for a few days, is the prince still better?"

His eyes quietly skimmed Ouyang Huaisen, and Ouyang Huaiyu replied: "This king's body is not as good as Seventh Brother, otherwise I would have followed Seventh Brother over to eat and drink with you."

When the seventh prince heard this, he only felt uncomfortable, and he always felt that Xiao Nineteen had been talking to him recently: "I just did Master Hou a small favor, Lord Hou is grateful to me, so he invited me to eat wine, if Little Nineteen wants to eat wine, Brother Seven will treat you to a good meal in the palace tomorrow." As soon as the words fell, before Ouyang Huaiyu could say anything, he continued: "I see that the moonlight is good tonight, and we are not the kind of people who are not interested, let your sister catch up with the prince well, let's go out to enjoy the moon."

"Seventh brother just doesn't want to see his younger brother, I have only been here for a while, and Seventh Brother is thinking of a way to leave, which really hurts my brother's heart."

"You kid." Ouyang Huaisen glanced at him and didn't say anything more, but he didn't make any moves.

Xia Zhixue looked at her and stayed here without any interest, she couldn't speak on both sides, and thought about it in her heart, Xia Zhiqiu must want her to leave quickly now, so she simply showed mercy, did a favor, and went back to the house.

Who knows, before she stood up, Ouyang Huaiyu could speak: "The third sister is dressed up with her heart today?" It looks very different from usual, it seems that this king is really not as kind to the third sister as the seventh brother. ”

Her face was hot when she said this, she was dressed like this today, but she obeyed her father's wishes, where was his turn to be yin and yang here? I was unhappy in my heart, but I couldn't say it, I could only break my teeth and swallow it in my stomach, Xia Zhixue was unharmed on her face, and only smiled faintly: "The prince said that he was laughing, whether it was you or the seventh prince, they were all guests of the Hou Mansion, and naturally they couldn't be sloppy when they saw the guests." It's just that Zhixue has always regarded you as the brother-in-law of our Hou Mansion in her heart, so she thought that everyone is a family left and right, so why bother with you and me. ”

Xia Zhiqiu echoed on the side: "The third sister is right, we are all a family."

Ouyang Huaiyu didn't speak, just stared at her thoughtfully for a while, and then looked away.
