Now that they have brought people here according to their request, it would be a bit unkind to want to stay here for their amusement!

"Princess, please forgive me, there are so many guests in the house, as the host of today's banquet, you can't even take a picture, just hide here, right?" Bai Hibiscus replied with a smile.

Tai'an narrowed his eyes dissatisfied, and said, "What are they, can they be compared to a few of us?" ”

"Everyone who comes is a guest, no matter how high or low, they must be treated with courtesy, what does the princess think?" Bai Mu Hibiscus asked quietly!

Tai'an snorted, it was an answer, she couldn't say that because the status of those people was not as good as their princess county lord, she could be lazy and spread it, she didn't know that the princess would be hated by many people, and her reputation would not be good.

Princess Chang'an is the oldest, and she seems to be the most hidden among these people, so she hasn't said much so far, so Bai Mujin doesn't know if she is as hostile to herself as Tinglan.

At this time, she said understandingly: "The county lord of Anping just needs to go and get busy, there is no need to greet us, I heard that the Nine Emperor Uncle is also here, and several brothers from the palace are also going to the banquet, so it is better to send someone to invite them over, and when the county lord is done, it is not too late to come and accompany him!" ”

Bai Mujin nodded, and then he said goodbye and left, and sent someone to inform Bai Muchen and Lu Qingyun to invite those princes and grandsons to Wangxing Tower.

She herself returned to the flower hall, because the guests had not arrived, and she had to stay here to support the scene.

Unexpectedly, the people from the Chu County Mansion did not come, but they sent someone to give gifts, and they must give gifts in front of everyone.

That person was the steward of the Chu County Palace, that is, the one who entertained Bai Shizu and his wife in front of the County Palace.

"The slave greets the county lord, the county lord is blessed!" The steward saluted respectfully.

Bai Mujian was in front of everyone, although he knew that the people in the Chu County Palace's palace were not well-intentioned, he still politely invited someone to get up, and said: "It's good to give the gift to the palace, if the steward is interested, you can stay and have a cup of tea before leaving!" ”

The steward waved his hand and said, "Thank you for the grace of the princess, but the slave came to present the gift on the order of the master, and the master explained that he had to show the gift in front of the county lord, so he could be regarded as having fulfilled his heart!" ”

Bai Mujin looked at him and smiled maliciously, so he asked, "What kind of valuable gift does it have to be seen by the county lord first?" ”

"It's not expensive to talk about it, but this is a painting made by the princess of Chu County, the courtesy is light and affectionate, and the county lord is invited to smile!" The steward said sincerely, but unfortunately there was a provocation in his eyes, as if Bai Mujian didn't dare to demolish the painting in public because he was afraid of the palace of Chu County.

The surrounding guests all looked at Bai Mujian and the steward with great interest, the festival of the prince of Chu County and the lord of Anping had already spread all over the capital, and the princess of Chu County sent someone to offer a painting at this time, and she had to offer it in public, which must have been unkind.

However, they are naturally not afraid of big things when they see the excitement, and they still want to use a wall of white hibiscus to resolve the crisis.

Bai Mujin looked around at everyone, and when he saw their eager eyes, he knew that whether he looked at this painting or not today, he would fall into the trap of the princess of Chu County, and if she didn't look at it, others would spread that she was unpretentious about her overtures to the princess of Chu County, and looked down on the princess of Chu County.

After reading it, this painting must not be a good meaning, and it has to be pointed at and poked at the joke.

Bai Mujian smiled, and then said generously: "Since the princess of the county is so gracious, the palace naturally can't live up to it, so ask this steward to open the scroll for the palace!" ”

A hint of joy flashed in the steward's eyes, and he agreed without hesitation, and as soon as he pulled the red line of the painting scroll, the painting immediately unfolded, and it was a picture of a hundred birds and a phoenix.

"The princess of Suwen County is very good, and it is really extraordinary when I see it today!" The one who opened her mouth to praise was Mrs. Huguo, who had always been good friends with the Chu County Palace.

The steward's eyes were triumphant, as if the painting had been painted by himself, but unfortunately there was a faint irony in his eyes when he looked at Bai Hibiscus.

Bai Mujin had already seen that there was something wrong with this painting, and it was clearly a picture of congratulating her on being crowned the county lord and a hundred birds coming to congratulate, but the phoenix was a fake phoenix.

Sure enough, after a while, someone exclaimed: "Where is this phoenix, look at it...... The lord of the county, if it is a phoenix, it should also be seven-tailed, but the phoenix has no crown, and it is only six-tailed. It's a fake phoenix! ”

A fake phoenix made the audience quiet, or sympathetic, or gloating eyes drifted to Bai Mujian, all wanting to see, in the face of the blatant sarcasm and provocation of the princess of Chu County, was the county lord furious, or swallowed his anger?

After the man finished speaking, he also realized that he was reckless, and the people present were not blind, how could they look at it for a while and not find that it was a fake phoenix, and they obviously didn't want to be this bird.

But now everyone's eyes are focused on Bai Hibiscus, and no one notices the person who first pointed out that Phoenix has a problem. So she also hid in the crowd and hid herself.

Lu Feiyuan stood beside Bai Hibiscus, took her hand, and signaled that she didn't have to be angry, Bai Hibiscus smiled at her comfortingly, everyone came to the door and slapped her in the face, did she still have to stretch out the other side of her face?

Bai Muhibiscus frowned slightly, took the painting in his hand, admired it carefully, and praised: "Well, the princess of the county's wonderful hand Danqing is really excellent." Merely...... Why did these birds congratulate a peacock? What a strangeness! ”

The steward thought that Bai Muhibiscus couldn't understand the sarcasm of the princess of Chu County at all, and secretly felt that this girl was too stupid, and she couldn't see such an obvious sarcasm, and people were ridiculing her as the county lord in vain, not a real phoenix, just a bird flying on the branches!

The spectators probably thought the same thing in their hearts, so many people looked at Bai Hibiscus with sympathy and contempt, they were still what a great person they were as the new county lord, but it turned out that they were just a girl who had never seen the world. What a disappointment!

The corners of Bai Mujian's mouth showed a little mockery, and said: "It is said that a hundred birds are towards the phoenix, if the princess of Chu County doesn't even know the phoenix, she must be mocking these divine birds who came to congratulate the phoenix Yu Fei, who made these congratulatory birds even the phoenix and the peacock admit their mistakes, and came over stupidly to congratulate, is this what the princess of Chu County means?" ”

Bai Mujian's eyes showed a sharp light, staring directly at the steward, the coldness in his words was very obvious, and the steward felt a little cold in his heart.

All the spectators were suddenly excited by Bai Hibiscus's words, this princess of Chu County is too much, it is just enough to satirize Bai Hibiscus, why do you even have to satirize the guests who came to congratulate today?

"Hmph, I think the princess of Chu County not only wants to satirize those congratulatory birds, but also to crown the phoenix! To hold a peacock on a high platform, isn't it ironic that the saint has no eyes? Princess Chu County is really bold! "The person who spoke was Mrs. Lu, and the reason why she didn't speak just now was waiting for Bai Hibiscus's trouble.

When everyone heard this, their faces became very ugly, and their hearts were even more worried, this painting even scolded the emperor, and the princess of Chujun was probably going to be unlucky.

The steward immediately panicked, knelt on the ground with a puff, and said: "Please forgive me, my princess has been a little unhappy these days, and her spirit is not good, and she still insists on painting this painting to congratulate, and she does not mean to satirize the county lord and the distinguished guests, let alone sarcastic the emperor, and please ask the county lord to be clear!" ”

Bai Mujian held this painting in his hand, looked at it contemptuously, and said: "The painting is a good painting, but it's a pity that the people who paint the painting have bad intentions, and they all say that I paint my heart with my hand, if the princess of Chu County doesn't have this heart, how can she make this painting?" ”

The steward was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat, he thought that the painting of the princess of Chu County was to scold the county lord for being a false phoenix and a fake phoenix, how did he know that he was so forcefully justified by Bai Mu Hibiscus that he was so angry with the public, and he had to bear the crime of great disrespect.

The steward couldn't help but regret it, he should persuade the princess again, don't fight for this moment, now there is a dilemma, if Bai Hibiscus bites like last time, the palace of Chu County will become the laughing stock of the capital again.

"The princess of Chu County is too unpopular, we came to congratulate the lord of Anping County on the joy of Jinfeng, how can we be caricatured as having eyes and no beads, congratulations to the wrong object, it is really unreasonable!" It was the Marquis of Weiyuan's wife He who spoke.

Others also chimed in, although they knew that the princess of Chu County was targeting Bai Mu Hibiscus, but the meaning of this painting did satirize these people who came to congratulate them, and they all felt that the king of Chu was an eyeless person.

Although most of these people are not as high as the status of the princess of Chu County, many people do not take the princess of Chu County in their eyes at all, and the nobles in the capital sometimes do not judge the status of the princess by the level of the title. is like the people of the four great families, in their eyes, ordinary princes are nothing, let alone a small princess.

"Don't be angry, the princess of Chujun looks down on us people, and naturally we can't get in the way of other people's eyes in the future, lest we go to be guests and be dazzled and go to the wrong door!" The person who spoke was none other than the eldest daughter-in-law of the Wang family, Xie Shi.

Xie is the daughter of the Xie family, although she is not the patriarch, but according to her seniority, she has to call Mrs. Lu an aunt, and she came to the Ningguo Mansion for a banquet today, not only to find out the news from the family, but also to see Mrs. Lu's face.

Just now she was a little disappointed in Bai Hibiscus, this time everyone disappeared, this little girl is really extraordinary, she will break the dilemma in just a few words, and with a backhand blow, she will give so many enemies to the princess of Chu County, if she continues to make trouble, I am afraid that she will offend the saint, and the princess of Chu County really loses more than she gains!

Such a smart and witty girl, no wonder her husband will value it, she is here today to see people for her eldest son, her son is not her boasting, it is definitely a young man, and he is talented, and he has been cultivated as the future helmsman of the Wang family since he was a child.

Naturally, her eldest daughter-in-law must be a good enough woman, otherwise she will not be able to look down on her. This Bai Hibiscus is not low-born, and now he has to be named the county lord, smart and strategic, not like ordinary noblewomen, who can only be vassally elegant, or intrigued, and cannot be on a big scene.

So after she looked at each other for a while, she had a little appreciation in her heart, although it was not enough to make her make up her mind to ask for marriage, but she was willing to help her say a few words!
