217 snubbed
The queen looked at the girl with a beautiful face and a decent and generous demeanor, the corners of her mouth twitched imperceptibly a few times, and she nodded with a faint smile and said, "Get up quickly." ”
"Thank you, Queen Mother." Luo Xuyan got up, hung her head slightly, and let the queen scrutinize, motionless.
Tang Xiuyuan opened his mouth and said: "It turns out that this is Luo Zaifu's eldest granddaughter, and she is really a beautiful and gentle girl." It's just that...... Why are you here now? The banquet has been going on for a while, so let's wait. ”
Tang Guifei wanted to watch a good show, looking back and forth at the faces of the queen and the six princes.
Cui Jingshi arched his hand and said: "Jingshi and Ayan were summoned by their father and went to the imperial study first, and their father had something to say, so they were late, and I asked my mother to forgive me." ”
Tang Guifei heard this, raised her eyebrows, and the queen had already signaled the female official to lead Luo Xuyan to sit with the ladies of the Luo family, and beckoned Cui Jingshi to her closer.
Everyone, you look at me, I look at you, I have a hunch that a good show is going on.
Isn't that girl from the Luo family the daughter-in-law of the saint? And as soon as he entered the palace today, he was first summoned by the saint, and he came with the six princes, and the two looked like a real loving couple, but the queen was so cold in the face of the future daughter-in-law who met for the first time, and she didn't even ask for more names and years......
It was clear that the queen disliked the daughter-in-law of the Luo family, and she didn't show her face.
Li Suying thought the same thing in her heart, and looked sideways at Luo Xuyan.
There was nothing unusual on her face, and she did not show the slightest disappointment or worry about the queen's snubbing.
Moreover, Luo Xuyan didn't wear the same color as Tang Guifei at all, did she already see through the arrangement, or was it because the six princes had an idea to show their affection in public?
What's even more problematic is why did the eye-catching red rashes on Luo Xuyan's face suddenly disappear?
Did Luo Xuyan do it on purpose?
Today's various things make Li Suying irritable, and the words are on her lips, but she can't say it.
At the same time, the queen was talking to Cui Jingshi.
"Jingshi, this is your cousin's words, you haven't seen each other in a while, haven't you?" The queen's smile deepened a little, and she looked at her son and niece with doting kindness, as if they were a match made in heaven in her eyes.
When Meng Wuyan came to Cui Jingshi, she had already gotten up, saluted Cui Jingshi, and called "cousin" intimately.
Tang Guifei almost laughed, the queen was provoked by a few words, and she couldn't bear it so quickly.
"Sister Yan." Cui Jing was very flat and nodded slightly.
Seeing that his attitude was a little detached, the queen was irritable, and noticed the more or less malicious eyes around her, pursed her lips, forcibly suppressed the displeasure in her heart, and said, "Since you are here, you will enjoy the flowers with us, right?" ”
Cui Jingshi said: "The people present today are all female dependents, I'm not very convenient, right?" ”
The queen sighed helplessly: "Okay then, you go and get busy." ”
Cui Jingshi said: "Mother, Jingshi and Ayan have other things to do, so they are one step ahead." ”
"What are you and Miss Luo going to do?" The queen glanced to the side, lowered her voice and said, "You don't have a single character now, lonely men and widows, what kind of system is this?" ”
Cui Jingshi smiled and said, "Father rewarded Ah Yan with some things, and ordered the attendant to take us to get it." Jing Shi thought that the palace banquet would not end until at least the evening, and if he took things at that time, he was afraid that he would not be able to leave the palace. Ah Yan is the granddaughter of Luo Zaifu and the daughter of the official eunuch family, how can she stay in the palace? Moreover, the reason why Jing Shi and Ah Yan came over was that Ah Yan thought that she would come to the palace, and she was originally invited by her mother, but if she didn't come, it would be too rude, so Jing Shi deliberately took her around and came to ask her mother for peace. ”
"......" The queen could only forcibly show her graceful appearance, and said: "The saint is really a girl who loves the Luo family, since this is the case, you can go." ”
"Yes." Cui Jingshi lowered his head, then turned his head to look at Luo Xuyan and called, "Ah Yan, let's go." ”
Luo Yanyue was anxious, grabbed Luo Xuyan's sleeve, and said, "Sister Ayan, can you stay and talk to me for a while?" I haven't seen you in a few days. ”
Luo Xuyan said: "But the holy reward, I want to get it in person, I'm afraid I won't be able to accompany you." ”
With a little force, she pulled out her sleeve from Luo Yanyue's hand.
Luo Yanyue saw that the six princes had already come over, gritted her teeth, and finally could only watch the two of them hold hands and leave again.
Most of the young girls present had a glow of jealousy or envy in their eyes, all of them were daughters from famous families, who had received the best education and training since childhood, but suddenly a little-known Luo Xuyan appeared, and suddenly climbed to a higher position than them.
The eyes of the six princes were full of sweetness, so unswerving, they only looked at Luo Xuyan alone, and their eyes were full of her, no matter how beautiful the flowers around them were, they couldn't compare to their hearts after all.
Soon, the figures of the two disappeared at the end, and the atmosphere at the banquet also fell into a subtle slump.
The queen held on, so she didn't pull down her face, and also held Meng Yanyan's hand and smiled at her, as if she was silently encouraging her, asking her not to lose hope.
Meng Yanyan felt a little bitter in her heart, her cousin, who thought she belonged to her, had now been firmly grasped by another person.
Seeing that the atmosphere was not right, the female official beside the queen hurriedly stood up and said: "Queen Mother, the most famous juggler team in Beijing has come to the palace today, let them come over and make everyone happy, right?" ”
The queen smiled: "Okay, I haven't seen juggling for a long time." ”
The female official said: "Weichen will arrange it." ”
Luo Xuyan and Cui Jingshi came out of the garden, and after walking for a while, she shook off Cui Jingshi's hand.
Cui Jingshi's palm still has a trace of temperature, but looking at the palm, it is already empty, not only melancholy.
Luo Xuyan didn't care about Cui Jingshi's thoughts, looked at the waiter walking not far away, and said, "Our marriage may not be smooth." ”
Cui Jingshi came back to his senses, he would not forget what his mother's reaction was when she saw Luo Xuyan just now. He didn't expect his mother to still remember him and Meng Yanyan, but fortunately, he at least showed a tough attitude in front of his mother, letting his mother know that it was impossible for him and Meng Yanyan to be.
"If the matter between me and my cousin could come true, my father would have nodded and agreed a long time ago." He said: "My father doesn't want to have a daughter-in-law surnamed Meng. ”
"Oh?" Luo Xuyan asked, "So, do you think that the Holy Lord will come forward to stop or convince the Empress, and we just need to wait quietly?" ”
