Chapter 15: The Welcome Banquet

"Oh, okay, please wait a minute, I'll go and tell our lord."

The little guy turned around respectfully, and after Yu Guang saw Yue Wan'an, the corners of his mouth grinned, and he subconsciously let out a "Huh~" and then turned around and ran away.

"Minyu, I can't see it, that little guy just now seems to be scared by my dress."

"Hey~ Little sister, what kind of vision is that, you believe me, with your current outfit, it will definitely make the prince's eyes shine!"

Yue Wan'an was a little skeptical, the little girl's eyes couldn't be believed, so did the twelve-year-old child in front of her also ......

Just as the two hesitated, the little maid returned and led the two into the house.

Yue Zhiqian thought of Yue Wan'an's inconvenient legs and feet, so she deliberately went out to greet her, and as soon as she walked to the door of the hall, she gasped, is this the legendary zombie bride?

I saw that Yue Wan'an on the opposite side was unfamiliar with crutches, and walked towards Yue Zhiqian with some staggering, followed by Gu Minyu in green clothes, like a Taoist priest who exorcised ghosts.

"Hey, hey, I've seen the prince!" Gu Minyu walked up to Yue Zhiqian with a grin.

Yue Wan'an also spoke: "I've seen the prince." ”

"Uh...... What are you? ”

"Lord Wang, in order to introduce the young lady who has just joined the Prime Minister's Mansion to relatives and friends, my father specially set up a dinner party the day after tomorrow, and the young lady and I are here to send invitations to the prince."

"Oh, okay, let's go in first!"

Yue Zhiqian led the two into the hall, the light turned from dark to bright, and Yue Zhiqian finally saw Yue Wan'an's dress, more like a married bride.

"Miss Wan'an, what are you?"

"Lord Wang." Yue Wan'an was on crutches, remembering the first trick that Gu Minyu had just taught her to capture a man's heart: throwing flattering eyes.

Yue Wan'an raised her head slightly, the corners of her mouth rose, revealing a confident smile, and then, one eye squeezed hard, and then, the smile deepened, and she glanced at Gu Minyu proudly, I did a good job, right?

Gu Minyu nodded in agreement, Yue Zhiqian on the other side was frightened, the "zombie bride" rolled her eyes and smiled at him, no matter how you look at it, she has a feeling that her life is threatened.

Gu Minyu whispered in Yue Wan'an's ear: "Little sister, look, the prince is already stunned!" ”

Is it? Yue Wan'an suddenly turned her head in surprise, and her sky-high bun flipped three hundred and sixty degrees in the air, seeing Yue Zhiqian's hands clenched, and subconsciously became a state of preparation.

"Lord Wang, what do you think of the young lady's dress?"

"Huh?" Yue Zhiqian was stunned for a moment, then let out a sigh of relief and let himself relax: "Oh, it's good, don't dress like this next time." ”

Yue Wan'an frowned, what does this mean?

"Miss Wan'an, Young Master Gu, didn't you say that you have an invitation for me?"

"Well, yes, right here I am." Yue Wanan smiled and took out the invitation from her sleeve: "Lord Wang, do you have time to attend the day after tomorrow?" ”

"I'll try my best!"

"Okay!" Yue Wan'an nodded obediently.

But Gu Minyu on the side heard the refusal behind him: "Lord Wang, after my father heard about the deeds of the prince, he was very appreciative, and specially ordered me and my young sister to come, and I also hope that the prince will be able to participate in the day after tomorrow." ”

Yue Zhiqian turned his head to look at Gu Minyu, no wonder it was rumored in the human world that the Prime Minister's Mansion and his family were all human spirits, and he couldn't imagine that a twelve-year-old boy would see such a thing!

Thinking of this, Yue Zhiqian frowned slightly, and he didn't know if this Prime Minister's Mansion was a good place for the girl in front of him, it seemed that he should really go and investigate.

"Okay, I'll try to make time for the meeting."

"Thank you, Lord Wang."

The two stumbled out of the palace again, and on the way, Gu Minyu began to review: "Little sister, this dress up is very successful, at the welcome banquet the day after tomorrow, let's still dress up like this, right?" ”

"Huh? Too flamboyant, right? ”

"The welcome banquet is for the young lady, so it's okay to be public."

"But...... I don't really like the feeling that everyone's eyes are on me. ”

"Little sister, in order to keep the prince from being snatched away by other noble girls, you have to make changes!"

"Forehead ......"

The two walked while talking, and returned to the prime minister's mansion after a while.

On the day of the banquet, Gu Minyu was sent to the school, regretting that he did not have the opportunity to personally supervise the dressing up for Yue Wan'an, so he was able to complete Yue Wan'an's normal dress.

"Hahaha, we're so good-looking! Look at this tender yellow skirt, like an immortal who does not eat fireworks in the world! The prime minister's wife pulled up Yue Wan'an and looked up and down with satisfaction.

"Madame has a good eye, plus Miss has a good background, she looks good no matter how she dresses!"

"Hahaha, yes! Wan'an's pink little face, I really want to pinch it! ”

"After the young lady came to the Prime Minister's Mansion, her complexion was much ruddy, and she looked better than before!"

In the praise of the two, Yue Wan'an blushed in shame.

When the time came to the evening, the high-ranking officials and nobles walked into the Prime Minister's Mansion one after another, and the six young masters of the Gu family had also left the school, following behind the Prime Minister and Yue Wan'an, and warmly greeted the guests in the crowd.

Yue Zhiqian did not take a step earlier, nor did he take a step late, and came to the Prime Minister's Mansion according to the time on the invitation, which seemed a little late compared to other active high-ranking officials.

With his handsome appearance, coupled with the magnificent scenery outside the palace that has been rumored to be miraculous in recent days, Yue Zhiqian became the focus of the audience as soon as he came to the door.

"Wow~ I finally saw the side of the king with a different surname, and sure enough, it is the same as the outside world, the instrument is extraordinary!"

"yes, like the person in the painting."

"No wonder the eldest princess asked the emperor for a mansion for him!"

"Shhhh Be quiet, don't let the eldest princess hear. ”

The eldest princess at the main table next door stared at Yue Zhiqian with peach blossoms on her face, and the love in her eyes was about to overflow.

"Lord Wang, please here!"

"Okay."

Yue Zhiqian was led to the main table by Prime Minister Gu and sat between Prime Minister Gu and the eldest princess, and the nobles at the other tables sighed in tacit understanding, their eyes were lost, hey~ It would be nice if they were also princesses!

"Today, thank you for coming to the welcome banquet of your adopted daughter Yue Wan'an." Prime Minister Gu raised his glass and began to gush: "As you all know, my Prime Minister's Mansion has been without a daughter for a long time, and now thanks to God's grace, I have been blessed with an adopted daughter ......."

The women at the dinner listened absentmindedly, their eyes fell on Yue Zhiqian beside the ancient prime minister, and the men looked at Yue Wan'an thoughtfully.

Prime Minister Gu has always been a celebrity around the emperor, if a man from any family can marry the adopted daughter of Prime Minister Gu, then his future will definitely add a lot of help!

After a while, Prime Minister Gu finally finished speaking, everyone raised their glasses and drank together, Yue Wan'an put down the wine glass in her hand, felt a burning gaze fall on her face, and subconsciously turned her head, only to see a man in white smiling at her, and then nodded slowly, as if greeting her.

"Little sister, that's the eldest son of Shangbu Shilang, Yuan Junlang, the name of the flower is outside, you have to be careful, don't be fooled by his rhetoric!"

"Uh-huh, I see." Yue Wan'an ignored Yuan Junlang.

But Yuan Junlang was not angry at all, raised his wine glass and drank it all, and the ghost ideas in his heart began to surge.

Naturally, the dinner party of the Dali Dynasty was indispensable for singing and dancing, a group of dancing girls walked to the center of the hall, several musicians followed closely behind, the sound of music sounded, the atmosphere rose rapidly, and the sound of laughter and small talk was endless.

"Lord Wang, I salute you for this glass of wine." Li Qianying picked up her wine glass and looked at Yue Zhiqian with a ruddy face.

Yue Zhiqian was sitting precariously, with no temperature on his face: "Eldest princess, I'm not good at drinking, you better drink by yourself!" ”

The eldest princess suddenly paused, blinked, she was so big, it was the first time she tasted rejection, she was angry and didn't set off, feeling the eyes of other nobles secretly looking at her, she could only drink a cup by herself in embarrassment.

Then, Li Qianying unwillingly picked up the chopsticks, picked up a piece of green vegetables, and put it directly into Yue Zhiqian's bowl, "Lord Wang, try this boiled cabbage heart, I think it's delicious." ”

Regardless of Yue Zhiqian's cold expression, he looked at the other nobles proudly, hum! Even if I am rejected, you don't even have a chance to be rejected!

The other nobles were so angry that they gritted their teeth and couldn't wait to rush up and eat the cabbage sum in the Yuezhiqian bowl!

Yue Zhiqian put down the rice bowl in disgust, and never touched the bowl of rice again in the whole process.

Yue Wan'an, who witnessed everything, secretly spoke to Gu Minyu on the side: "Should I also express it?" ”

Gu Minyu shook his head calmly: "Little sister, let the eldest princess be this kind of budding bird, do you know the way husband and wife get along, what is the least valued one?" ”

"What is it?"

"Instead of trying your best to deal with the countless rivals outside, it's better to grab the heart of your husband at home!"

"Wow~ It makes sense!"

"That is, our target is only the prince, and the other warblers and Yanyan are not enough to worry about!"

"Then how do I capture the heart of the prince?"

"Zizizi, young lady, you can't dress up like this, without me, it's really too bland."

"What then?"

"Little sister, do you have any talent, sword dance, piano stroke, or dancing, it is best to dance the sword, this talent is more respected!"

Yue Wan'an shook her head: "No." ”

"Little sister, aren't you a monk?"

"Uh...... I practice internal strength, and I don't know all those bells and whistles. ”

As soon as the two mentioned sword dancing, a noble girl stood up, "The little girl recently learned a trick of swordsmanship, and today, in order to congratulate the ancient prime minister and the prime minister's wife, they will sacrifice their ugly!" ”

"Hey~ Little sister, it seems that you have another strong enemy, this one who stood up is the daughter of the General's Mansion, Yu Wanqing, I remember that I saw her in front of the palace a few days ago."

After hearing this, Yue Wan'an felt a little lost in her heart, and looked up at Yue Zhiqian opposite, just when she met the eyes he looked at, Yue Wan'an grinned in surprise.

A bright smiling face suddenly appeared in Yue Zhiqian's sight, against the backdrop of the tender yellow clothes, like a delicate spring flower, Yue Zhiqian was stunned for a moment, and after reacting, he raised his wine glass in a panic to cover up his abnormality.

This scene happened to be seen by the eldest princess, and the words of Yue Zhiqian just now echoed in her ears: "I'm not good at drinking." "The qi that had just dissipated in my heart gathered back, hum! How determined I was when I was rejected, and how leisurely I am now to drink alone!
