Chapter 31: Murder with a Knife (2)

The two walked all the way to the garden, and Liu Shihan said: "The garden of the Prime Minister's Mansion is really good, and it is really good-looking. ”

Xia Mengning raised her eyes slightly to look over, the well-tended flowers and plants around her, the stone road was cleaned clean, and a group of figures not far away were walking towards this side, Xia Mengning saw the people coming clearly, and said to Liu Shihan on the side: "Let's go and take a look elsewhere." ”

The two were about to leave together, but the people here didn't plan to stop there, the first to walk in front were Xia Mengxi and Dong Wanwan, followed by a few women, looking at the dress, everyone was beautiful, but Xia Mengning only recognized Xia Mengyou and Xia Mengran.

The last incident made Xia Mengyou and Xia Mengran more or less afraid of themselves, after seeing Xia Mengning, the expressions on their faces were sneering, Xia Mengxi's eyes flashed a trace of viciousness, but it was well covered, looking at Xia Mengning and asking, "Where is the third sister?" ”

Xia Meng Ning Fu: "I've seen the big sister, Ning Er is about to go shopping around with Miss Liu, the daughter of Master Shangshu." ”

Dong Wanwan on the side chuckled, "Sure enough, it's a person who has the same disease, I became familiar with it so quickly, what comes out of the concubine is what comes out of the concubine, and it's not bad to hold a group." ”

Liu Shihan was about to say something to fight back, but was grabbed by Xia Mengning beside her, this Dong Wanwan, she has never offended her, why do you have to get along with yourself everywhere, this, I am afraid that the Fang family has played a lot of roles, thinking of this, Xia Mengning smiled lightly: "Miss Dong is beautiful and lovely, the export is a chapter, those who have seen Miss Dong will definitely never forget it, this is the right word, a good habit of understanding etiquette, it is inevitable that because of this, I will make more friends with some fellow people, and the same is true for my eldest sister, no wonder I can get close to Miss Dong." ”

After saying a few words, it was sarcastic Dong Wanwan's filthy words, she didn't want to get close to her, and later, she just said Xia Mengxi, even such a person is willing to make friends.

"You ......" Dong Wanwan was angry, "your teeth are sharp, you can get away with the climate for a while, and you can't be a concubine." ”

Xia Mengning took a step forward, his eyes were firmly fixed on the person in front of him, he had never offended anyone, but people in this world were like this, sacrificing others for no reason because of their own interests, such a good person in the previous life had done enough, in this life, he would not allow anyone to insult him.

"It's also my ability to get the climate for a while, if Miss Dong can't get used to it, but please take it easy, if you still want to speak wildly in front of the public, I don't know if it's a demon, I actually went to someone else's house to talk and wait, and I lost my identity and didn't say it, I'm afraid it will make people laugh at the waiter."

Dong Wanwan was frightened by Xia Mengning's momentum, and couldn't help but take a step back, obviously she was just a girl who was one year younger than herself, why did she have such momentum.

After Xia Mengning finished speaking, she smiled at Xia Mengxi on the side: "Since the eldest sister is with Miss Dong, you must greet Miss Dong well, lest Miss Dong have a straightforward personality and speak without brains, and it is not good to bump into a noble person on such a happy day." ”

After speaking, he walked up to Liu Shihan and said, "The sun is so bright here, let's go to the front yard to rest." ”

went to the front yard with Liu Shihan, there was already a birthday worship scene on the stage, Xia Mengning sat on the stool, Liu Shihan took a sip of tea, "I just like your character, unlike those women, who are only promised, or hurt people like Dong Wanwan." ”

Xia Mengning smiled lightly, "Let you see the joke." ”

As the two were talking, Xia Mengxi and a group of people also came over, and everyone gave Xie a birthday gift, Xia Mengxi gave a white jade Guanyin, there was no flaw in the body, Xie accepted it with a smile, when it was Xia Mengning's turn, Xia Mengning took the Buddhist scriptures that he asked Master Yun Cheng for in Jingming Temple a few days ago, which was not brilliant, but he did not lose his respect.

Xie Shi's face was pale, but Xia Mengning didn't feel embarrassed, but just bowed his head and did his part with a humble gesture.

After receiving the congratulatory gift, Xie smiled and beckoned everyone to sit down, Xia Mengning sat on the side, Xia Mengxi sat on a seat with herself, opposite her, but Xia Mengning pretended not to care and drank tea gently with a teacup, and whispered a few words to Liu Shihan beside her from time to time.

Xia Mengxi retained the most decent face and smile of everyone's ladies on her face, but in her heart, after seeing Xia Meng's light and breezy appearance, she couldn't help but clench the handkerchief in her hand under the table.

Xia Mengning, let you be proud for a while, when you cry!

Everyone was raising their glasses, and there was a voice from outside, "The prince has arrived, and the king of Mojun has arrived!" ”

For a while, Xie and Xia Chuanyuan, who were very happy, were supported by Chen's mother, Xie hurriedly stood up, trembling and walked down to bow down, everyone followed suit, the prince wore a bright yellow robe, a jade crown and tied his hair, but he may be absurd on weekdays, a pair of eyes are swollen and unfocused, and his steps are vain when he walks, which makes people feel evil in their hearts.

This may just be Xia Mengning's thoughts, many of the daughters around him can't wait to look at Changsun Ye with their eyes.

Looking at the king of Mojun next to him, a handsome face like a carving suddenly attracted the attention of the audience, although he was not a prince, not as noble as the prince next to him, but he was also handsome, and he was a rare beautiful man.

"Get up!" The eldest grandson of the crown prince opened his mouth at night, "Today's palace is here to celebrate the birthday of the old lady of the Xia family, don't be too formal." ”

After speaking, being invited to the top position, Xie's old face smiled into a chrysanthemum, "It is rare for the prince and the king of Mojun to come to appreciate their faces, which makes this mansion shine." ”

The eldest grandson had a faint face on his face, and waved his hand, "Carry it up to the birthday gift of the palace." ”

Immediately, someone sent a jade Ruyi, which was inlaid with dozens of huge pearls, which made the eyes of everyone present shake their eyes for a while.

Xie Shi hurriedly knelt down to thank him, and someone next to him presented a coral bonsai made of red jade, and Changsun Mo said, "This coral bonsai will be given to the old lady to play in the house." ”

Xie knelt down again, but Xia Chuanyuan's face was pale, and his heart beat a drum, this old lady's birthday, although he had invited many people, but this prince and the king of Mojun had never come before, how could they come at this juncture, is it related to the incident that was said a few days ago?

Xia Chuanyuan's face became nervous, and at this time, the eldest grandson Ye on the side spoke, "The third lady in the house is here?" ”

Everyone's eyes were focused on Xia Mengning, Xia Mengning was also a little puzzled, but she still stood up and walked to the front, Ying Ying was blessed, "The little girl Xia Mengning has seen the prince and the king of Mojun." ”

The prince looked at her with interest and said, "Raise your head!" ”

Xia Mengning raised her head, the eldest grandson couldn't help but have a look of disappointment in his eyes, the fifth brother said that he was a beauty, and he was still a scheming beauty, but when he saw Xia Mengning's true face, he didn't feel disappointed, such a look, at most, he was a handsome, and he looked young, he really didn't have an appetite for himself, thinking of this, he asked, "How old are you this year?" ”

Xie's face is not good-looking, Xia Chuanyuan is not good-looking, Fang's face is hateful, and all the women in the banquet are not good-looking, this is not good-looking, but there is also a reason.

A trace of unnaturalness flashed in Xie's heart, how could this Ning'er be looked at differently by the prince, how could these powerful people take a fancy to her?

Xia Chuanyuan, you are not natural in your heart, how did your daughter fall in love with so many people at the same time?

The thoughts of the Fang family and the female dependents, naturally because of how noble the prince's identity is, if the prince treats him differently, then marrying into the prince's mansion is just around the corner, the prince has not married yet, that is, there is not even a side room, the house just raises a group of beautiful concubines, if you marry in the past, the owner of the prince's mansion is himself, and after the prince ascends the throne, then he is the mother of the country, and the mother of the world.

Now the prince attaches so much importance to a concubine, which inevitably makes the eldest ladies red-eyed.

"Prime Minister Xia Cheng's daughters are well-gmannered, and all the daughters in the house are excellent."

The eldest grandson said lightly, his face was as usual, "Stand down." Xia Mengning quietly breathed a sigh of relief, she didn't want to provoke this prince, when she retreated, Xia Mengning had a flash of inspiration in her mind, and looked up at the eldest grandson Mo who was sitting in the banquet without a trace, but the latter had a solemn face, Xia Mengning had a number in her heart, and she only felt extremely worried.

Back to the banquet and sat down, Liu Shihan pulled her sleeve under the table and smiled at her, Xia Mengning gave the other party the same smile and patted the back of her hand.

Xia Mengxi walked in the direction of the garden with a few famous daughters under the instruction of the Fang family, and when she arrived at Xia Mengning's side, she didn't forget to remind, "The third sister will also come together." ”

Xia Mengning looked up at Xia Mengxi, the poison that flashed in the other party's eyes did not escape her eyes, she thought about it, but still stood up, "I just feel tired after sitting for a while, and it is good to come and enjoy the flowers in the garden." ”

Xia Mengxi chuckled and walked in front first, Xia Mengning also stood up, and Wu Qing followed behind and walked in the direction of the garden together.

Dinner.

A woman dressed in ruby green brocade brocade drank tea and said with a smile: "I haven't heard of it before, the third lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion is so famous, even the prince knows about her, and today she came to inquire in person." ”

A jeweled woman next to her, who was also dressed up, covered her mouth with Juan Pa and said to the other party: "Isn't it, but Mrs. Prime Minister, in a famous family like ours, there has never been a concubine whose fame has ever overwhelmed her daughter." ”

Fang Shi laughed embarrassedly twice, picked up the teacup to hide his color, but his heart was almost angry and burst into flames.

At this moment, a little maid with a young face hurriedly ran to Fang's face, and kept shouting, "It's not good, it's not good......

Mother Liu, who was behind Fang's family, stepped forward and shouted: "Little hooves who don't know whether they are alive or dead, what is the matter in a panic, and it has hit the noble man Be careful of your head." ”

After saying this, it attracted the attention of all the people in the audience. Xia Chuanyuan frowned and looked over here, and Xie Shi on the side also asked dissatisfiedly, "What's the matter, what's the noise?" ”
