At this time, the people in the hall, where do they still remember what Miss Lin played before returning to Mingyue, and the whole scene seems to be echoing with the sound of a joyful kite.

The atmosphere in the hall was surprisingly more relaxed and cheerful, and even Mrs. Leng, who had been frowning and not smiling, stretched her eyebrows.

It seems that if Xiang'er can make friends with her, it must not be bad.

Lin Zhanmei's face was gloomy like a thick dark cloud, and when he caught a glimpse of Ji Yunyi's joy with a hint of pride, he really realized what it meant to lift a stone and hit himself in the foot.

Gui Jingxue, who was sitting in the corner, raised the corners of her mouth slightly.

She's just going to be that surprised.

Seeing that she is maintaining her reputation for returning home everywhere, Gui Jingxue doesn't hate her sister with her own halo as much as she used to.

"This sister, you look so good and good......" I don't know that Princess Showa suddenly appeared in this inconspicuous little corner, looked at Gui Jingxue, smacked her lips and asked with some curiosity and confusion.

When Gui Jingxue saw the eldest princess of Showa suddenly appear in front of her, she couldn't help but be startled, got up and saluted, and was held down by Showa.

Gui Jingxue is not such a flattering person, and when she talks to the eldest princess of Showa, she will not be too intimate and lose her sense of proportion, and she will not see the slightest timidity.

"It's probably because Yue'er and I are twin sisters, and it's because the eldest princess is kind to each other." Gui Jingxue answered Showa's questions in a gentle voice.

"Ahh You're Gui's twin sister, but you're not very much like that......"

"Yes, Yue'er has been more provocative and cute since she was a child." When Gui Jingxue said this, her heart was rare calm and calm.

"Yes, Sister Gui is my favorite one, but I also like you very much," Princess Showa said with a smile: "Can you come to the palace to see me in the future, or I will go to your house to play with you, but...... My brother and queen mother didn't agree with me leaving the palace. Princess Showa said a little lonely.

Originally, I came to play with my sister today, but Brother Ji was so entangled in front of her that he couldn't even say a word. In addition, there are several daughters in the hall who are working hard, some are dancing, and some are splashing ink...... The competitive appearance is exactly the same as those concubines in the imperial brother's harem.

It's boring and boring.

The eldest princess of Showa took out a jade pendant from her small purse and put it in Gui Jingxue's hand, and said, "With this, Sister Jingxue can travel unhindered in the palace, remember to come and play with me!" ”

Gui Jingxue held the flawless white jade phoenix pendant in her hand, and before she could react, Princess Showa left with the guards hidden around the hall.

Ji Yunyi was entrusted by the saint to be responsible for sending the eldest princess of Showa back to the palace safely, and had to leave at this time.

"Yue'er, wait for me, I'll come when I go." Ji Yunyi said affectionately, thinking that even if it is for the sake of Showa's face, these women will no longer be embarrassed.

"Okay, then be careful on the road." Gui Mingyue said.

"Yue'er, I'm going back too," Gui Jingxue ate tea alone, and saw that the shadow and light snow that came with him were stimulated, and painted Danqing in the hall as if no one was around, and couldn't help but be a little funny, so he got up and greeted Gui Mingyue.

"Eldest sister, it's late at night outside, I'm not worried about you going home alone, how about you stay in the Hou Mansion for the night?" Gui Mingyue Yang Dao, although she and her eldest sister have no longer been so familiar and intimate since they grew up, and even have a lot of suspicion and estrangement between each other, she can't let her eldest sister have a trace of adventure.

"This ......" Gui Jingxue hesitated.

"Eldest sister, don't worry, I'll send a martial arts guy home to tell my mother and let her rest assured." Gui Mingyue hurriedly said.

"Okay then."

Gui Jingxue had no choice but to sit down again.

At this time, a maid from the Hou Mansion came in from outside and leaned into Mrs. Ji's ear and said something. Mrs. Ji took the phoenix hairpin she handed over, got up and said loudly: "Ladies and gentlemen, the eldest princess of Showa has returned to the palace, and before leaving, give this phoenix hairpin to me." After a stick of incense, let's evaluate it together, which lady will come out on top tonight! ”

As soon as these words came out, all the ladies who appeared in the center of this hall were secretly excited and looking forward to it.

"Miss, Qian'er thinks the first name should naturally be yours." Jin Qi'er whispered into Gui Mingyue's ear with great pride.

Gui Mingyue shook her head with a smile, and put a small fragrant bean puree fruit into her mouth.

"Hmm...... Miss, you've eaten enough tonight, and the slave maid will go to change her clothes first......"

"Go, come back soon." Gui Mingyue instructed.

Jin Qi'er was blessed and hurriedly walked out of the hall.

"You really spoil you girl," Gui Jingxue said casually: "In a place like the Hou Mansion, it's not a good thing to spoil her." ”

This month's behavior is sometimes inevitably rampage, and she is even more indulgent and protective of the people around her, but she doesn't know that her behavior can easily cause trouble for her. She is like this, and it is also because of her mother's and father's pampering of her that she has never really known that the human heart in this world is dangerous.

"Yes, what the eldest sister said is that Yue'er will be disciplined well in the future." Fortunately, Gui Mingyue has always been kind in his mouth. Even if she knew that she definitely didn't think so in her heart, Gui Jingxue softened her heart when she saw her being so cautious in front of her.

"Now let's choose the leader of tonight, I think Miss Lin Zhanmei's piano sound is graceful and superb, and she should be the first place." Mrs. Ji took the lead in expressing her position.

Old Mrs. Wei Chi hurriedly seconded the proposal, turned her head and quietly asked the maid who was close to her: "Then which tune is Miss Lin playing?" ”

Because the old lady of Wei Chi had some ears in the background, and her voice was always louder than that of others, she thought that her question was quiet, and she expected that there were some people in the hall with excellent ear power, so she listened to her words correctly......

"Poof!" Leng Bingxiang, Su Tingwei, and even several other young ladies couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Gui Mingyue and Gui Jingxue glanced at each other, and they both saw the meaning of holding back a smile from each other's eyes.

Lin Zhanmei's face was red and white for a while, and he glared at the old lady Wei Chi, who was still confused.

"Ahem, Mrs. Wei Chi and I both think that Miss Lin deserves this hairpin, I don't know what the county lord and Mrs. Leng think?" Mrs. Ji said.

Mrs. Leng thought for a while and said: "I think your eldest daughter-in-law is good, the song she played is still echoing in my ears endlessly, as the leader, it should also be the best." ”

"Yes, yes, or Mrs. Leng has a vision, I'll say that Miss is the best!" Jin Qi'er will just come back, and when she heard Mrs. Leng's words, she happily came to Gui Mingyue's side and whispered.

"I think Miss Ji Yun's dancing is also very graceful...... "The county lord of Yongjia previously recognized Lin Zhanmei's piano skills as the first, but later he was disturbed by a burst of Zheng sound from Gui Mingyue, which made it difficult for people to remember Miss Lin's piano sound.

"This, is it Miss Lin's piano skills, Grandma Ji's Yao Zheng tunes or Miss Ji Yun's dancing, who is better?" The ladies at the banquet couldn't help but participate in the argument.

The night was still deep, everyone had their own opinions, and the conclusion was not reached.

"Big lady, it's not good...... " At this time, a mother-in-law in charge of sprinkling and sweeping hurriedly stepped forward and knelt down to worship.

"Unruly minions! I don't look at what kind of occasion this is, what kind of panic it has become! Mrs. Ji reprimanded, and seeing that her anxiety did not seem to be fake, she asked, "Tell me, what happened?" ”

"Back to Mrs. Hui's words, when the old slave checked the lights, he found that the night pearls in the four corners of this hall were actually ...... There was one missing! The mother-in-law said tremblingly.

"What?" Mrs. Ji's breath stagnated, and she asked sharply, "Are you sure that this slave is missing a night pearl?" ”

The mother-in-law immediately knelt down and said, "It's true! There was one missing, the one missing was the one in the northwest corner, and in the hank cover, someone replaced it with a candle, so no one found it. ”

There was an immediate uproar in the banquet, there was a missing night pearl in this hall?

But someone stole it.

After all, the night pearl in this Jihou Mansion is as big as a pigeon's egg, which is an extremely rare and rare thing, and it is also possible that there are such people with unclean hands and feet in the banquet.

"Brother and sister, there is a night pearl missing, haven't you even noticed a single one?" Mrs. Ji asked the second lady reproachfully.

The second lady Ji who was in charge of this banquet was already sweating at this time, and she was missing a night pearl for no reason, in case she couldn't find it, the eldest lady would definitely not be able to spare herself.

But there are some noble ladies and ladies in this banquet, and she can't be provoked by anyone, and no one can doubt it.

Second Mrs. Ji had to look at Mrs. Leng with begging eyes, and said that this lady of the military department was cold-faced and hot-hearted, and she was a good person with an ancient way and a warm heart, and she only hoped that she could say something fair.

Mrs. Leng also took half a night at this banquet, and her body was inevitably a little tired, so she just wanted to go back to the house early to rest. Seeing this, he opened his mouth and said: "If the eldest lady is not at ease, you might as well search the bodies of our people, I believe that the clean will clear themselves, and only after searching can we prove our innocence." However, if I can't find it at that time, I will have to punish the eldest lady to invite me to eat and drink another day. ”

The female guests below also felt that what Mrs. Leng said was reasonable, if they didn't search it, this Mrs. Ji might not be able to suspect everyone.

"Oh, how embarrassing this is, they are all distinguished guests, how to search your body, you must not! There is a night pearl on the left and right, and if you lose it, you will lose it......" Mrs. Ji's face floated with a smile that was more ugly than crying.

"The eldest lady's words are bad, if you don't search, how can you prove the innocence of our waiting, please search it as soon as possible, everyone is tired, so it's better to go back early." The county lord of Yongjia interrupted her impatiently, this eldest lady obviously wanted to search, so she had to pretend like this.

"However, if you want to search, you can't just search for our people, including the maids and daughters of your Ji Mansion, but none of them can be missing." The county lord of Yongjia said again.

A sly smile flashed in Mrs. Ji's eyes, and she motioned to the two right-hand men beside her to search her body one by one.

What kind of medicine is she selling in her gourd? Just so blatantly search the bodies of these coquettish customers, are you not afraid of offending people? Gui Mingyue couldn't help but wonder in her heart.
