Chapter 31 The girl's heart, the New Year's banquet is revealed
When Sheng Jinlan came, she entered the hall holding Luo Xian's hand, probably to press Jinran in front of Jinran, she unfolded her long skirt, held her fiancΓ©'s hand, and walked in front of Jinran's eyes with a majestic spirit.
If he just walked over, he was still swaggering and staring at Jinran, who was standing on the side, looking proud.
"Hey! She still dared to come over! Princess Ming'an was obviously angry at Sheng Jinlan's ignorance, she rolled up her sleeves and wanted to rush up to teach Sheng Jinlan a lesson, but was stopped by Jinran again.
"Alright, Alright, my princess, you can take it easy!" Jin Ran stopped the menacing Ming An with a smile, and she shouted at the palace: "Look, the emperor is coming soon, go up now, aren't you asking for trouble?" β
Princess Ming'an is still unwilling, but in the face of such a situation, Rao is princess can not do anything. I could only let go of my sleeves stupidly, and said angrily: "It's cheap, this girl, I won't teach her a lesson, she still dares to show off her power in front of me, hum." Although Princess Ming'an was angry, the banquet was about to start, and she couldn't do anything to beat the noble daughter of the family in front of her, so she had to give up.
"It's time for the banquet to start, I'll go back to my side first, Jinran, I'll go back to you." Seeing that the food has been served, the young lady has to take the table one by one, and Princess Ming'an must also return to her seat.
"You're having fun alone, be careful." Princess Ming'an reluctantly said, "Hey, I've only been with you for a while, and I'm going back." She felt a little uncomfortable, lowered her head and sighed quietly.
"It's okay, let's meet more in the future, and then go out together to incense and play in the future, where can't we meet?" Jin Ran also whispered to comfort his frustrated friend.
"What you said is the same, my father said that I will also see my mother-in-law's family choose a horse in the future. It's more free than before, and I'll go to you every day from now on. Princess Ming'an smiled.
"Pony? So early? "Ming'an is just a few months older than Jinran. Jin Ran didn't react at first. However, in her previous life, Princess Ming'an was married at this time. The horse she chose was not good, she couldn't help but disrespect Ming'an, and insulted Princess Ming'an outside, after Ming'an fell out of favor with the emperor, her husband snubbed Princess Ming'an until Ming'an died.
Thinking of this, Jin Ran's heart throbbed, and she secretly vowed that she would reverse the fate of her friend in the future.
When Princess Ming'an leaves, the New Year's banquet is about to begin, and the seats of Jinran and her mother are next to each other, not far apart, which can be regarded as a comfort to the Zhang family, who has been nervous.
Zhang's is actually worried in vain, although today's New Year's banquet is a banquet with the emperor in a big hall, but this hall is huge, there are thirty or forty tables, and the front ones are some of the emperor's relatives and the emperor's own henchmen and ministers, etc., and when a table is lined up like this, it is far away from the emperor to the female dependents, how can you lose your honor in front of the emperor.
And looking forward from Jinran, it is also a piece of human heads, and the rest is invisible.
In fact, this New Year's banquet is not unusual, but it is just a year later, and everyone is just gathered around the emperor to have a good time.
Jin Ran was a little bored listening to the music at this banquet, she was bored and drank the fruit wine in her hand, thinking of Fang Tianji, who went to attack Western Xia a few days ago, and didn't know when he would come back......
This Jinran is thinking about the girl's heart, but on the other side, Sheng Jinlan has a lot of unpleasant things in her heart, she came with her grandfather today, it stands to reason that she is no longer the serious granddaughter of the old man Sheng, so the place where she sits is even more remote, although Luo Xian accompanies her, but Luo Xian has been looking like she has been reluctant since she just saw Jinran, how could Jinlan not know that this Luo Xian's soul was taken away by Sheng Jinran?
She was extremely angry in her heart, but she was reluctant to speak ill of herself, the lover on the tip of her heart, so she could only hold her breath in her heart.
But this Luo Xian didn't understand Sheng Jinlan's mood at all, he looked at Jinran, who was far away from him, sitting upright like a thorn rose, and only felt that his soul was about to be half taken away by this bright girl, where could he still take care of Sheng Jinlan's little emotions?
"Luo Lang! Luo Lang! Seeing that Luo Xian had lost her position in her eyes, Sheng Jinlan's mood was not good, she shook Luo Xuan's hand angrily: "Luo Lang, I'm uncomfortable in this store, can you go out with me?" β
How can Luo Xian have time to pay attention to her? Since Luo Xian was unsuccessful in framing Jinran in Lihua Temple last time, not only did he not marry a beauty, but he was also retaliated against by the Sheng family, and he was unable to participate in the imperial examination, Luo Xian actually had a grudge against his aunt, that is, Sheng Jinlan's mother, Wang.
But for the sake of his future future, Luo Xian had to coax this Sheng Jinlan, looking forward to the old man Sheng who loved Sheng Jinlan to find him an official and a half-job.
Sheng Jinlan has a short temper in the sky, although she is much more relaxed towards the person she likes, but she can't achieve the gentleness and pettiness in Luo Xuan's heart. So Luo Yan looked at Sheng Jinran, and now he is also impatient.
"Okay Lan'er, you go shopping alone, where do I want to show my face in the emperor today, today is a good time for me to show my skills." Luo Xuan perfunctorily coaxed Sheng Jinlan, who was still having a temper, having said that, but he knew what he thought in his heart.
"Then you just wait here." Jinlan was very dissatisfied with Luo Xuan's perfunctory, she responded coldly, and then stood up and went out on her own.
She hoped that Luo Xuan would get up and chase her, but when she left the palace gate by herself, she didn't see Luo Xuan.
Jinlan couldn't help but hate and anger in her heart, and even became angry with the originally innocent Jinran: "It's all to blame for this Sheng Jinran, she robs me of everything, obviously she's a......" Sheng Jinlan thought hatefully, and couldn't wait to teach that disgusting Sheng Jinran a lesson immediately.
Jin Ran was still watching the singing and dancing performance in the hall, and the singing and dancing of this New Year's banquet was very good. But after an hour, no matter how interesting the singing and dancing is, it is not fun. Besides, the dishes at this banquet were also cold, and it wasn't uncomfortable enough to eat, so Jin Ran didn't eat a few bites, but just picked up a few chopsticks and courgettes mixed with jellyfish and other cold dishes.
At this time, it had been a long time since noon, and Jinran was rumbling with a hungry stomach. She reached out and secretly touched the chestnut cakes in her purse that her mother had filled for her at noon, and her brain couldn't help but recall the fragrance and soft glutinous taste of the chestnut cakes, and she only felt that the liquid in her mouth was secreting faster.
The feast was only halfway through, and Jin Ran was already so hungry that his chest was pressed against his back. She quietly leaned over to her mother, Zhang, and leaned up, rubbing her churning belly.
Zhang was watching the song and dance on the surface, but in fact, Yu Guang was paying attention to her daughter, she couldn't help but feel very funny when she saw Jin Ran's pitiful appearance, and even the corners of her mouth rose a little.
She quietly tugged on Jinran's sleeve and asked in a low voice, "Ran'er, are you hungry?" β
"Yes, mother. I haven't eaten a single bite from noon until now. Jin Ran pursed her lips, only feeling that she was very wronged, she really didn't dare to take out a piece of fragrant chestnut cake and eat it in front of the minister's family in front of this room full of ministers. That's really embarrassing, if she really does that, others don't know how to talk about the Sheng family's tutor behind her back.
Zhang looked at Jin Ran, who was alone and wronged, and laughed at her: "Say that you are stupid, you are really stupid, if you can't eat in the palace, you can go out to eat, if you don't be seen by these ladies and ladies, I won't talk about you." β
After Jin Ran asked Zhang to point out, he found that he had drilled the tip of the horns, and he couldn't help but feel a fever on his face.
But this time, she finally had the opportunity to eat her two hard-won chestnut cakes.
Jinran's friend Princess Ming'an grew up in the palace since she was a child, Jinran is good friends with her, and sometimes she is called to the palace by Princess Ming'an to play together, so she can't be said to be a smear to the palace, but is much more familiar than most people.
She also quickly found a hidden small palace room, and found a corner cat to nibble on her two chestnut cakes.
When Jin Ran came, he looked around carefully, all the little palace maids and eunuchs were busy with the New Year's banquet in the main hall, how could they take care of the affairs of this remote hall, so Jin Ran was also very relieved to eat secretly here.
Two chestnut cakes are not big, and they can be eaten in just a few bites. For Jin Ran, a little girl who is growing her body, it is not enough to stuff her teeth. But after all, it was also a porcelain dry food, and after two pieces of pastry, the burning hunger in Jinran's stomach was much less.
Jin Ran was still reluctant to chew the last bite of chestnut cake in her mouth, she was completely immersed in the world of food, ignoring the movement behind her.
"Hey! Miss Sheng! Accompanied by a gentle boy, a hand suddenly appeared behind Jin Ran and slapped her on the shoulder.
"Ahββββ" Jin Ran originally expected that there was no one here, so she let herself go, and hid here happily, she didn't expect this precious hiding place to be discovered, and being photographed unexpectedly really scared her, Jin Ran jumped violently and screamed.
"Hey, don't shout!" The man was very helpless, he was also frightened by Jinran's shouting, and quickly stopped it.
"I'm Xiao Qingyan, the chamberlain of the Fifth Prince."
Jin Ran had also seen Xiao Qingyan from afar, and when she calmed down, she took a closer look at the man hiding behind her, knowing that the man was not lying to herself.
Jin Ran barely calmed down, and she asked, "I don't know, what did Xiao Dagongzi want to do when he suddenly appeared behind me?" She was resentful in her heart, and when she was frightened just now, Jin Ran still had a mouthful of chestnut cake in her mouth, and she almost choked herself to death, so she didn't speak very politely at this time.
"Oops, I'm sorry, Miss Sheng. This is also an unintentional mistake. Xiao Qingyan smiled and bent a pair of peach blossom eyes, he unfolded the fan in his hand in a chic way to half-cover his face, and opened his mouth to flatter.
Jin Ran didn't eat her, she opened a pair of almond eyes wide, and looked at Xiao Qingyan, who was still holding a fan this winter, to see what kind of high opinion he had.
Xiao Qingyan saw that Jin Ran was indifferent before he spoke, he no longer laughed just now, but turned to a serious meaning and said: "Miss Sheng, if I were you, I wouldn't drink the pear wine mixed with peach wine on the banquet, the taste, tsk, but it is very unpleasant." β
