The woman on the phoenix throne looks to be in her forties, but she is as beautiful as a beautiful orchid, with thousands of demeanors, and has the same gentle and beautiful eyebrows as Ding Can.

The difference is that there is more grace and nobility between her eyebrows.

Her gaze was calm and calm, and a gentle smile on her lips looked down at the people in the seat.

These siblings and brothers are really similar in appearance and bearing...

Lu Jiayue couldn't help but turn her head to look at Ding Can.

Ding Canben lowered his eyes and looked indifferent, as if he was thinking about something. But as soon as Lu Jiayue's gaze fell on him, he immediately sensed it and raised his eyes to look at her.

Lu Jiayue suddenly felt weak and quickly withdrew her gaze.

She doesn't know why, she always feels that Ding Can is a little weird today... Especially those eyes, when looking at her, the eyes seemed to be different from before.

Looking at his expression and behavior today, he looks like he is not very happy.

It's better not to get near him for the time being, so as not to get into trouble.

Lu Jiayue looked around again.

Those who can have a seat in the main hall are either princes and princesses, or the families of princes and nobles, and as for ordinary officials, they are all seated in the east hall.

In fact, these ordinary officials and their families are all from the families of Beijing officials above the official position of the third grade, and the family members of Beijing officials with lower official positions are not qualified to enter the palace at all, let alone go to the banquet of the queen of the middle palace.

After the ceremony, everyone took their seats.

The palace ladies brought new tea and put all kinds of pastries and fresh fruits, and there were officials and relatives who were more bold and had always shown their faces in front of Queen Ding, and led their girls to come forward and salute again.

Queen Ding smiled brightly, looked at them one by one, and if she met someone she particularly liked, she would also reward her with a meeting gift.

Before Lu Jiayue entered the palace, she was still worried, afraid that there were too many rules in the palace, and she would not be able to parry, so she was really in the main hall of this Chonghua Palace, and watched coldly, she quietly understood.

Even if there is a lot of noise in front of you, as long as you are calm and calm, you can still sit in a no-man's land.

Seeing that Queen Ding was so amiable, I felt more stable in my heart.

After seeing more than a dozen girls in one breath, Queen Ding picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, and nodded to Qu Yi, who was sitting nearby.

"Everyone else has seen it, and you also brought a little girl, why didn't you bring it up for the palace to see?"

Qu Yi stood up and said with a smile: "The good ones must be saved until the end, and let the mother be dazzled first, and then come to see me, a little girl, I think it's better." ”

Empress Ding smiled and glanced at Lu Jiayue, "Sure enough, it's a Peugeot little girl, come up quickly, take a closer look at the palace." ”

Qu Yi took Lu Jiayue's hand and sent it to Queen Ding.

Lu Jiayue was not flustered, made a steady salute, and said Jin An to Queen Ding.

Empress Ding held her hands and looked at her up and down carefully, only to feel that she was really delicate and gratifying, especially a pair of eyes, very smart, and she couldn't help but love her heart, and said with a smile: "What a lovely little girl," and asked Qu Yi, "Whose child is it?" ”

Qu Yi said: "It's my sister-in-law's niece, and her father is Lu Mian, the political envoy of Yunguibu." ”

"Oh--- Lu Mian, I know," Empress Ding nodded, the smile on her face deepened, "I have heard the Holy Lord praise Lord Lu for being an upright official and a loyal minister. ”

When Lu Jiayue heard this, she was overjoyed.

Her father's praise from the saint made her a thousand times happier than others praising her for her beauty.

Empress Ding said again: "More than a dozen? Such a delicate little girl, I'm afraid that someone else has already been decided? ”

"Not yet," Qu Yi smiled and looked in the direction of the West Side Palace, "I specially brought her here today, just to let her show her face, so that she can choose a satisfactory person." ”

Empress Ding thought for a moment, lowered her voice slightly, and said with a smile: "The wife of Cui Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites is still asking me about the boy of Jing'an's waiting family." You have a good eye, and the people you pick are all competing for it. ”

Qu Yi couldn't help but be surprised: "Could it be that Mrs. Cui also took a fancy to the second son of the Jing'an Hou family?" ”

"Exactly, the only daughter of her family is already in the middle of nowhere," Queen Ding said, her eyes fell on Lu Jiayue again, "It's just that in terms of appearance and bearing, it's far inferior to you, a little girl." ”

Qu Yi's face was embarrassed, and he hesitated: "Having said that, in the end, the Cui family is a scholar and a eunuch for generations, so it is inevitable that the Jing'an Hou family will not be tempted." ”

Queen Ding smiled disapprovingly, "What's the matter, as long as you nod, I will personally come forward to make this marriage for this little girl, why not?" ”

"It's great to have a mother come forward in person." Qu Yi immediately turned his worries into joy.

Lu Jiayue was sandwiched between Queen Ding and Qu Yi, listening to them talking about her marriage, and she felt helpless.

I didn't come here for marriage at all...

But there is no excuse.

In case Empress Ding really came forward in person and promised herself to the second son of the Jing'an Hou family, it would be a big deal.

I still have to find a chance to get out and do my business.

Lu Jiayue pondered in her heart, so she couldn't help but use a pair of eyes to look for King Jin in the palace.

But a figure flashed in front of her, blocking her gaze tightly.

When I looked up, it was Ding Can.

Lu Jiayue's body shrank, and she retreated unconsciously.

I heard Queen Ding smile at Ding Can: "It's strange today, you are here too--- is it because the thousand-year-old iron tree is about to bloom?" ”

Qu Yi laughed twice and said, "It's the second brother I met at the palace gate, I thought that there must be a lot of famous ladies at today's banquet, so I asked the second brother to come over and pick one personally." ”

"That's right, people who are twenty-six or seventeen years old, and they don't know how to start a family," Queen Ding looked at Ding Can, her face full of gentle care, "But if you have the heart, you should go and change your clothes, wear this official robe, and be upright, don't scare those girls." ”

Ding Can smiled indifferently and said: "I am wearing a robe, should I be afraid of me, or afraid of me, if I am wearing armor and saber, I should not be afraid of me, I still will not be afraid of me." ”

Queen Ding couldn't help but say angrily: "Talking nonsense again!" ”

As soon as Ding Can appeared, Empress Ding's mind naturally shifted to him, and she let go of Lu Jiayue's hand.

Lu Jiayue retreated quietly.

Qu Yi was still talking to Empress Ding, and Ding Can was also beside Empress Ding.

Lu Jiayue's eyes roamed the hall, but she didn't see the figure of King Jin.

... Could it be that King Jin has left ahead of schedule?

I haven't done my business yet!

Lu Jiayue couldn't help but panic.

If you can't make it clear to King Jin today, then I don't know if there will be a chance to see you again in the future.

The officials in the palace came and went, laughing and laughing, Lu Jiayue was afraid that others would notice his abnormality, so he hurriedly sat down on the seat, picked up the teacup and pretended to drink tea.

Ding Yu went to the East Side Hall and talked to the officials who were familiar with him, but the eldest princess of Danyang was still in the main hall, still with a firm gaze, not leaving Ding Can's side.

But where did King Jin go?

When Lu Jiayue was uncertain, suddenly a little inner eunuch walked past her, and her sharp and thin voice left a sentence in her ear at a very fast speed.

"The king of Jin made an appointment to see the girl and asked the girl to go out with the slave."

Lu Jiayue's hand holding the teacup couldn't help but tremble slightly.

She put aside the teacup and looked left and right, but no one noticed her movements.

She let out a long breath, stood up, and walked briskly out of the hall.
