Is there such a weak self-esteem and the ambition of others?

Not being able to go out these days is not a problem at all for people like Xuanji who are used to staying at home, but I can't see my handsome uncle, and I feel a little regretful in my heart, and I unconsciously resume the erosive life of waking up for half a day and sleeping for half a day.

Prince Xi didn't want Xuanji to be exposed too much before the big event was decided, so he didn't arrange any social activities after the palace banquet, and refused the visit of the clan relatives and relatives on the grounds that she was weak and still needed to recuperate, and Xuanji was also happy.

On this day, I was testing the water absorption of different plant materials in the room, and I wanted to get an upgraded version of feminine hygiene products, when I suddenly heard the maid report that there was an important guest in the palace tonight, and asked her to prepare for a banquet, and I couldn't help but be a little surprised.

This is not the most bizarre, what is even more bizarre is that Xu Yun actually came to pass the word in person, saying that he hoped that the county lord would be more low-key tonight and never make any special moves in front of the guests, but he was vague about the reason.

Xuanji didn't bother to ask, let the maid dress up at will, and then rode into the palace, only to find out that it was inappropriate when she entered the palace, and the people who participated in the banquet were all the unmarried daughters of the royal and noble ministers Yun Ying.

Xuanji was led by the palace maid to a more remote corner, and she didn't know anyone at the same table, but she looked kind, and she saw Ning Zhu sitting in the front conspicuous seat from a distance, but this cousin looked at Xuanji with eyes as sharp as a knife, and she looked indignant, Xuanji was strange, she didn't provoke her when she sat in the corner, did she eat fire yao or did menopause advance?

With a roll of his eyes, he saw Wan Rulan sitting on another seat opposite Ning Zhu, and the two Jiao in the capital faintly became a confrontation, but although Wan Rulan looked gentle and kind, she occasionally raised her eyes and was cold and shining.

Wan Rulan did not participate in the last palace banquet because she was unwell, and later saw it a few times in the Prime Minister's Mansion, her father Wan Suli and Wan Suhe are half-brothers, but they are not descendants, although they are high officials in the court, their status in the Prime Minister's Mansion is not as good as Wan Suhe, Wan Rulan is indeed a beautiful girl, but her heart is very high, although she is polite and polite to Xuanji on the surface, she is very repulsed by this cousin in her heart - there is already a Ningzhu county lord who oppresses her, and another Ningyue county lord is better than Ningzhu, Even her uncle, who has always been indifferent and distant from everyone, looks at her differently, how can she not have ideas?

Xuanji is not a fool, who likes her and hates her, of course, she can tell, so she usually tries to avoid contact with Wan Rulan, but she didn't expect to sit in the corner today, and the two beauties still can't help but stab her with their eyes, they are really innocent.

looked at the several women who were sitting with him, their eyes flickered, as if they were waiting to watch the play and seemed to be thoughtful.

Xuanji sighed secretly, these days are really poisonous to women, a good girl is locked in the house, and there is no other pastime except in the nest every day.

The banquet was hosted by the Empress of Ningguo, in order to welcome Princess Ronghua of Chengguo, who was the sister of the monarch of Chengguo, and this time accompanied her husband to Ningguo.

The two countries are equally powerful, and they are also threatened by Yue, and they made an alliance several years ago to ensure peace. Princess Ronghua came this time, and anyone with a discerning eye knew that she was actually here to choose a daughter-in-law for the prince of Chengguo.

The children of Ning Guojun have already been married, and they have not yet set up a prince, no matter which granddaughter is sent out, it will affect the original balance of power of the three kings.

In fact, no matter how close this family is formed, it will not affect the relationship between the two countries to defend against the enemy.

Chengguo is naturally happy to have someone to choose, but the three princes who are competing for the crown prince on the side of Ning Guo do not dare to ignore it, once their daughter is selected, it is equivalent to having the support of Chengguo, and there is one more bargaining chip for the throne, except for Prince Xi, the other two princes are secretly gearing up.

Prince Xi is left with a daughter of Xuanji, and this daughter may also be a "heavenly daughter", of course, she is not willing to give it away to others. And the other two princes who had vaguely guessed Prince Xi's thoughts did not want Xuanji to marry outside.

If Xuanji is really a heavenly daughter, naturally she can't cheapen others, leave her in Ningguo, and if she can't control it, she can also send someone to assassinate her, so as to prevent future troubles.

So tonight's palace banquet became like this, Xuanji was placed in the most inconspicuous corner, and the other two princes' daughters sat in the most conspicuous position.

In addition to the Ningzhu county lord of Prince Mu's family, the Ninglu county lord of Prince Xiang's family also arrived, but although the little girl is delicate and pretty, she is far less beautiful and bright than the capital, and she is not very conspicuous when she sits in the front seat.

The reason why Wan Rulan can sit on an equal footing with the lord of Ningzhu is completely dependent on the queen's arrangement, and the current queen of Ningguo is also from the Wan family, Prime Minister Wan Cheng has completely figured it out since he almost stood on the wrong side more than ten years ago and was hit hard, it is better to rely on others than on himself, as long as his strength is enough, no matter who of the three princes comes to power, his own family can be as stable as Mount Tai, and now there is an opportunity to become the ruler of the country, so he naturally does not want to miss it.

Queen Wan's own sons unfortunately died, and the son Prince Xiang who recognized him couldn't believe it, so she also hoped that her niece could become the queen of a country, so as to increase her strength for her own family and find a way out if necessary.

A palace banquet with only female dependents is also surging, the young girls are all dignified and demure, and in the huge palace, only the laughter of Princess Ronghua and the polite response of Queen Wan.

Finally survived to the intermission, Queen Wan allowed the girls to go to the imperial garden to enjoy the moon and flowers, and then return to the table to drink poems after the moon was in the middle of the day.

Xuanji slipped out of the palace among a bunch of girls, and when she glanced back, she happened to see Wan Rulan, Ning Zhu, and Ning Lu talking with Princess Ronghua, and couldn't help but feel a little sympathetic to them.

Normally, these county lords and ladies are delicate and incomparable immortals, but today, for the power and interests of their father and brother, they are forced to sit here and laugh and be selected like objects, no wonder Wan Rulan and Ning Zhu are angry.

The moonlight in the imperial garden was like silver, and Xuanji didn't want to talk to those young ladies, so she dodged and walked to the back of the rockery, and found a narrow stone ladder to climb to the top of the rockery.

Xuanji was curious and lifted the hem of her skirt and walked up, the top of the rockery is quite flat, and there is a small pavilion in the middle, sitting in the pavilion, you can look at the moon from afar, and it is difficult for people near the rockery to see the people in the pavilion. Such a good place, Xuanji immediately took the land as the king.

It's a pity that after a moment of silence, I heard a few sparrows coming down from the rockery - several invited county lords and ladies unanimously chose this rockery as the venue for the gossip expansion meeting.

The maids and palace maids who led the way did not expect that some of the noble ladies would climb the rockery, but they just looked around, and when they saw that no one was walking around, they reported to their masters, and exchanged gossip information here with peace of mind.
