Xiao Huanxi looked at Shen Ninghua, the jealousy in her eyes increased little by little, what is this person so good, why does Brother Junyu miss her! Not only did she want to protect her all the time, but she also kept practicing portraits of her in the study, and the manuscript full of volumes made her jealous and wanted to destroy Shen Ninghua on the spot!

"I've seen the county lord, and the county lord of Zhaohua is polite." Song stepped forward to say hello to Shen Ninghua, and when he saw that Xiao Huanxi on the side did not react, he hurriedly reached out and pulled her.

Xiao Huanxi suddenly came back to his senses, bit the tip of his tongue fiercely, and suppressed the distorted hatred in his heart with the help of pain: "I've seen Lord Zhaohua." ”

"Mrs. Song and Miss Xiao are exempt."

Xiao Huanxi got up and looked at Yang Yingxue on the side, stepped forward and hugged her arm affectionately: "This is Miss Yang, I have long heard that you have come to Kyoto, but you have been going out of the county lord's mansion very much, we have no way to see each other, today finally has a chance, what a fairy-like beauty, Miss Yang, you are older than me, can I call you Sister Yang?" ”

Yang Yingxue was flattered in her heart, she didn't expect that the dignified Miss Xiao family would be the first to express her closeness to her, forcibly suppressed the excitement in her heart, and said with a pale face: "Then I will be big and call you Sister Xiao." ”

Xiao Huanxi looked extremely happy, and took Yang Yingxue's hand and looked at Shen Ninghua: "County Lord, it's a bit abrupt for me to do this, don't you care, I really feel like I'm in love when I see Sister Yang." ”

Shen Ninghuayun smiled lightly: "My cousin didn't have any friends when she came to Kyoto, and I was relieved to have Miss Xiao to help take care of me, and it was too late to be happy, how could I mind." ”

"That's great, Sister Yang, I've already arranged the location, you come with me quickly." With that, Xiao Huanxi pulled Yang Yingxue into the banquet hall.

Shen Ninghua narrowed his eyes slightly, and a streamer flashed in his eyes very quickly: Nothing to do is to be courteous or a thief, Xiao Huanxi's attitude is too close.

Because it was a birthday banquet organized by the emperor's decree, the male and female guests did not hinder much, but simply divided the left and right areas, and there was no separation between the screens.

Shen Ninghua walked into the hall and saw Chu Junyi, dressed in a fancy suit, standing on the side and chatting with a man.

As if sensing something, Chu Junyi turned his head to meet Shen Ninghua's gaze, and a smile suddenly appeared in his eyes: "Lord Zhaohua, you are here, welcome to the extreme." ”

"Young Master Chu is polite." Shen Ninghua said, but his gaze fell on the man opposite Chu Junyi.

The man was the same size as Chu Junyi, but he was more heroic than him, wearing a high-grade jade crown on his head, and his eyebrow bones were slightly prominent, making his face slightly resolute, and his whole face was clearly defined as if it were carved by a knife, especially his eyebrows were slightly thicker, and his narrow eyes were as sharp as knives, and the whole person was like a sharp blade out of the sheath.

Chu Junyi introduced: "I don't know the county lord, this is my eldest brother Xiao Fengjue. ”

Shen Ninghua retracted his gaze and nodded slightly: "Young Master Xiao is polite, I have heard for a long time that the Xiao family has produced a stunning and brilliant Xiao Shen General, but I have never had the opportunity to see it, and it really deserves its reputation when I see it today." ”

Xiao Fengjue's sharp gaze swept over Shen Ninghua, and then the sharp color in his eyes faded, as if he was like an ordinary person: "The county lord praises falsely, it is a man's duty to fight and kill the enemy for the country, and it is a burden to spread his reputation too much." ”

His voice was extremely calm, with a broad bearing that the mountain collapsed in front of him and his face did not change, which made people can't help but listen attentively, but Shen Ninghua's attention was on his eyes that were free to retract, this person had tempered his own breath into one, if it was an ordinary person with a weak mind, it was extremely easy to be influenced by this person, and what he said just now sounded like he was humbling, but no matter how he felt it, he really beat her not to try to be famous.

Xiao Huanxi led Yang Yingxue to her seat and subconsciously searched for Chu Junyi's figure. Seeing him standing beside Shen Ninghua, smiling to help her and her eldest brother introduce, she suddenly felt choked in her throat, making her unable to swallow or spit out, and she was extremely uncomfortable.

Clenching his trembling fingers, Xiao Huanxi turned his head to Yang Yingxue and said, "Sister Yang, you wait here first, and I'll go see the other guests." ”

"Okay."

Xiao Huanxi went out and turned around the corridor, and a little guy dressed as a subordinate limped out, and said in a lamented voice: "Miss, the slave is useless, and he failed to do what you commanded." This little guy is like the coachman who stopped Shen Ninghua's carriage before and asked her to find another way.

Xiao Huanxi was angry in his heart: "Useless things, can't you do this little thing?" ”

The little guy had a bitter face: "The maid next to the county lord of Zhaohua is too powerful, and he kicked the horse up with one kick, and the carriage almost hit the fifth prince, fortunately, there is nothing wrong, otherwise the slave's little life will be confessed." ”

Xiao Huanxi was impatient for a while, and took out five silver tickets of one hundred taels from his sleeve: "Take it and leave quickly, and never appear in Kyoto again." ”

"Yes, yes, thank you, Miss, the slave will go." After the little guy finished speaking, he stuffed the silver ticket on his chest and left to find a road where no one was.

Xiao Huanxi looked back at the place where the banquet was held, a hint of determination flashed in his eyes, Shi Shiran tidied up his dress, smiled again on his face, and walked in slowly.

Yang Yingxue was very close to Xiao Huanxi, and when she saw her coming back, she asked out loud: "Sister Xiao, but everything has been arranged?" ”

"Well, it's almost arranged here, speaking of which, things are too busy today, and I don't even have time to check the birthday gift I prepared for my father, does Sister Yang want to go with me to have a look?"

Yang Yingxue shook her head: "No need, since it is the birthday gift you prepared for General Xiao, it must be very precious, and it is not appropriate for me to go." ”

"What's inappropriate," Xiao Huanxi took her hand, "Sister Yang, let's go, the gift I prepared is very special, I'll take you to see it first." She said it with great euphoria, like a child eager to show off her treasure, and she didn't have the slightest shelf of a young lady of the family.

Yang Yingxue couldn't help but feel relieved in her heart, and said with a smile: "Okay, then I'll go with Sister Xiao to have a look." ”

After Shen Ninghua and Chu Junyi finished speaking, they turned around and prepared to go to their seats, but when they saw that Yang Yingxue, who had already entered the table, was nowhere to be seen, her eyebrows suddenly frowned slightly, she had already told her not to walk around, where did she go at this time?

At this time, Baili Anning happened to enter the door, and saw Shen Ninghua hurriedly coming over: "Ninghua, you came early." How is it, did you see Xiao Fengjue? ”

Xiao Fengjue?

"How could the princess mention him, Xiao Gongzi is the most proud son of General Xiao, this kind of occasion is naturally there, how can you not see it."

Baili Anning glanced left and right, and said softly after no one paid attention to them: "Bu Jinglan didn't know where he learned that Xiao Fengjue was strong in martial arts, and he prepared a birthday gift to celebrate the birthday of General Xiao, and wanted to use this to learn from Xiao Fengjue." ”

Shen Ninghua's heart moved: "The step is also here?" ”

"Well, you see, he wasn't the one who came in at the door."

Shen Ninghua looked at it, Bu Jinglan, who was wearing a narrow-sleeved shirt that was different from Da'an customs, was striding in, Xiao Fengjue naturally greeted him, the two didn't know what to say, and the atmosphere seemed to be a little tense.

Step Shock...... As the prince of Dayue Kingdom, but he wants to celebrate the birthday of Da'an's ministers, he is not afraid that he will not be able to explain to his father when he goes back?

Baili Anning was a little curious when he saw the empty position next to Shen Ninghua: "Who is this seat, why didn't you see anyone sitting?" ”

"It's my cousin Yang Yingxue's position." Thinking of her, Shen Ninghua's heart sank, and she always felt that something would happen, and she just hoped that Yang Yingxue wouldn't cause something she couldn't clean up.

Seeing that the banquet was about to start, but Yang Yingxue hadn't come back yet, Shen Ninghua turned her head to look at the palace maid behind Princess An Ning: "Princess, borrow your maid and let her help see my cousin, the banquet is about to start, she should come back." ”

Baili Anning nodded hurriedly: "Okay, Qiushi, you go and help the county lord of Zhaohua find it." ”

"Yes, Princess."

The palace maid named Qiu Shi quietly withdrew, but after waiting for nearly a quarter of an hour, all the guests came and still did not receive the news, and even the palace maid did not return.

Baili Anning also sensed that something was wrong: "Ning Hua, do you want to send someone to find it again, why is there no news at all." ”

Shen Ninghua pondered for a moment, shook his head and refused: "No, there will be news soon." She can now be sure that if Yang Yingxue doesn't come back at this time, something must have happened, and thinking of the carriage blocking the way on the way here, there is a good chance that this thing is still coming at her.

In that case, let's wait and see.

Here, Xiao Jingran, the old general Xiao, had already come out, greeting the guests with a smile on his face, and just as the ceremonial official was about to announce the start of the birthday banquet loudly, the pale palace maid Qiu Shi strode in.

"Princess, no, Miss Xiao fainted."

Baili Anning got up suddenly: "What did you say, Miss Xiao fainted?" ”

Everyone stopped their movements and looked at Qiu Shi. Who doesn't know that the most favored person in the Xiao family is not Xiao Fengjue, who is talented and young and talented, but Xiao Huanxi, the only lady of the Xiao family. Xiao Jingran fought all the year round, married two ladies one after another and died violently, and some warlocks asserted that he killed too much and caused too many killings, so he had a wife and few heirs.

His first wife left Xiao Fengjue as a son, and his second wife had no heirs, and he didn't marry his current wife Song until he was nearly forty years old, and he was forty-four years old to have a daughter, and he had a daughter Xiao Huanxi, so for this daughter, he is really a treasure. Now that he heard that he had fainted, he didn't care about the banquet, and he dared to go to see Xiao Huanxi by pointing to Qiushi to lead the way.

Baili Anning asked softly: "Ning Hua, many people have followed, are we in the past?" ”

"Well, go over and have a look."

Qiu Shi led the way, and everyone followed, and after a while, they came to the room where the gifts were temporarily stored.

Xiao Jingran pushed open the door and saw Xiao Huanxi lying on the ground with a pale face, while Yang Yingxue beside her was kneeling on the ground, her face full of panicked tears: "Sister Xiao, wake up, don't scare me." ”

Hearing someone coming in, Yang Yingxue was alarmed, raised her head suddenly, and when she saw Shen Ninghua, her eyes suddenly lit up: "Ninghua, come and see, the hairpin you gave me scratched Sister Xiao, and then she fainted." ”
