Chapter 10 Attending the Palace Banquet
For several days in a row, Meng Yao experienced the most harmonious breakfast moment in this family atmosphere every morning, because Mu Linghan always showed up at Xiao Mansion very punctually to have breakfast with the people of Xiao Mansion.
After getting along for a few mornings, Mu Linghan seemed to be already a member of the Xiao family - because Mu Linghan was getting more and more natural to eat, he naturally had already ignored Xiao Xiang and Meng Yao's incomprehensible gaze day by day.
But it's also good, at least since Meng Yao occupied this body, she could be at peace with Nanlian for so many days, and she could still enjoy Nanlian's fashion show every day. Even the Chen family was a lot more settled, and they didn't come to their yard to set up music much, and the two mothers and daughters ran back to their yard as soon as they finished eating, and there was a sound of music from time to time.
But Meng Yao really can't stand it, this prince comes here every day to have breakfast, and the rumors outside are crazy, what kind of Xiao family girl loves to seduce men, red face and water disasters, country and people, fox demon reincarnation...... The summary is as ugly as it sounds.
Finally, Meng Yao no longer died in silence, and when the silence broke out, there was the following thrilling scene:
'The chef of the prince's family is so happy'
'Why did Miss Siu say this?'
Don't get up early every day to prepare breakfast for your master, the master goes out to rub his fill before going back, if I am the cook of the prince's mansion to meet such a master, he will definitely burn incense and worship the Buddha every day. ’
So under the prince's black face, the prince's journey to rub rice came to an end.
Nan Lian watched the prince leave the dinner table with a gloomy face, a pair of cannibalistic eyes staring at Meng Yao, Meng Yao was naturally not to be outdone.
Nan Lian complained to her father with an annoyed face: "Daddy, look at my sister, since you are angry and run away from the powerful six princes of the dynasty"
Meng Yao also replied mercilessly when she heard this: "You really want to let the prince come to our Xiao Mansion every day, and let the young lady of Xiao Mansion be more and more outrageous outside, you will be happy, right, you are shameless, we still want Xiao Mansion." What about the prince of the dynasty, the man is unmarried and the woman is unmarried, and it is good for you and me to come to eat every day. ”
Prime Minister Xiao also learned about the rumors about Xiao Mansion outside these days in Meng Yao's sentences, and also taught Nanlian a few words of shame that she was not as good as everyone.
Nanlian saw that her father also trained herself in turn, and a burst of grievances welled up in her heart, so she left to cover her eyes and ran out, Chen was naturally distressed when she saw her daughter like this, and followed after saluting the master. For a while, there was only the father and daughter left at the dinner table, and both of them sighed in their hearts for this rare and comfortable breakfast.
Mu Linghan, who returned to the palace, still had an ugly face, and Xu Shi on the side didn't even dare to be angry when he saw his master like this.
"You say, why did Xiao Mengyao drive me away?" Mu Ling asked Xu Shi next to him coldly.
Xu Shi pondered carefully: "Maybe the prince is too good, causing the two young ladies of the Xiao Mansion to be jealous?" ”
"But I see that they are quite harmonious at the dinner table."
"Lord Wang, you don't understand this, this woman will pretend to be gentle in front of the man she likes, but I see that the second miss of Xiao Mansion is very tender every time she looks at the prince, it is estimated that the eldest lady is jealous and doesn't want the prince to see the second miss again, so she drove the prince away."
"What you mean is that Meng Yao likes me, and deliberately runs away from me in order to have me alone"
"Really, Lord Wang, you are so good, that young lady in the capital doesn't love you and wants to possess you? My brother who has a wife complains to me every day, and the one at home worries every day that he has been hooked up with by the vixen outside. ”
Mu Linghan felt justified when he heard this, and his face instantly showed a doting smile and said to Xu Shi: "That's good, go down and get the reward."
Xu Shi was so happy that he said what he thought about the prince, and he couldn't help but look at Xiao Mengyao with admiration, just in front of the prince, she had money to collect at that time, and Mengyao became the goddess of wealth that Xu Shi respected in his heart.
Just about to step out of the door, Xu Shi suddenly remembered: "Lord Wang, the place where the aura appeared before has eyebrows, after many investigations, only Pei Baihan's wife and a few maids appeared near the wooden house that day, but they didn't stay long before leaving, and the witnesses never saw anyone else entering and leaving except for their team." ”
Mu Linghan muttered softly that it was Gu Lanshan again, and then asked Xu Shi to tell Shifang Pavilion to pay close attention to Gu Lanshan's whereabouts.
For several days in a row, Mu Linghan didn't go to Xiao Mansion for breakfast again.
At first, without Mu Linghan, I was a little unaccustomed to it, without that iceberg face, the family sat around the stove and ate a little hotter than usual, but gradually got used to it.
It's just that Mu Linghan has never been gone, Nanlian has returned to the-for-tat relationship with herself in the past, and even her eyes are full of cannibalism, every time she eats breakfast, Nanlian looks at herself as if she wants to swallow the ground as if she wants to swallow the ground as breakfast. Meng Yao couldn't see the whole time, and went back to the room after eating breakfast early.
When she returned to the room on this day, Meng Yao watched the white pigeon parked on her bookcase quietly close the door and take down the creed at the white pigeon's feet, and the white pigeon immediately flew away from the window.
I saw that the letter read: This person has dealings with the people of the Secret Investigation Pavilion, and the Tonghe Inn is its docking point, so don't act rashly.
There was a sudden knock on the door.
"Who?"
"Miss, it's me"
Meng Yao took the letter to the candle and burned it while letting Ke Mei in.
"Miss, my lord asked you to prepare for the state banquet of the ten countries visiting the palace with him in the past two days."
"Okay, you can find some decent clothes for me to come out, and I'll pick them out."
"Obedience"
I saw Meng Yao wearing a lake blue long skirt and a white fox fur cloak, wearing a sterling silver step shake, the step shake hung with light blue gems, and her hair was coiled into a bun and fixed with a hairpin carved with flower textures. Such a fresh and refined dress did not hide Meng Yao's stunning face at all, but set off a natural and unadorned exquisite appearance.
Xiao Xiang looked at his daughter's appearance and couldn't help but think of the deceased mother of Meng Yao, who had passed away, she also loved such a plain and decent dress, and her expression was lonely.
Meng Yao naturally noticed holding Xiao Xiang's arm and said, "Why does Daddy look like this, is it because his daughter is not dressed well?" ”
"It's good-looking, it's very suitable for Yao'er." After speaking, he touched Meng Yao's head lovingly.
Chen Shi only felt that it was an eyesore when he looked at the deep love between father and daughter, but in order to maintain his bearing, he naturally did not attack on the spot.
Nan Lian only felt that Meng Yao had only regained her senses, and her appearance was becoming more and more provocative, completely taking away all her father's attention, and a strong jealousy sprouted in her heart.
Xi Qin didn't expect that the stupid sister who was stupid at the beginning would have to deny that Meng Yao's appearance and demeanor were absolutely first-class in the capital in just a few days.
Everyone went to the palace for a banquet with their own hearts, and Meng Yao met an old acquaintance in front of the palace gate.
I saw Gu Lanshan and her husband Pei Baihan appear behind everyone with a loving face, Pei Baihan got out of the car first and helped Gu Lanshan get out of the carriage, taking care of them along the way, and was a model among all couples in the capital.
Gu Lanshan naturally also noticed Xiao Xiang and his family, greeted him politely, and glanced at Meng Yao with deep meaning, he had already learned from the Secret Investigation Pavilion that Meng Yao in front of him was the daughter of Xiao Mansion, but in fact, he had been stupid for several years, so he had never appeared in front of people, and he didn't expect to recover his consciousness because of a fall into the water. Although the investigation of the Secret Investigation Pavilion showed that she had no relationship with her sister whose whereabouts were unknown, so she would not help herself deal with this woman, Lan Shan just felt a strange feeling from her, which seemed familiar, but she really did not have this person in her impression.
As soon as Meng Yao, who was dressed elegantly and had a stunning appearance, came to the banquet and appeared in front of everyone, she felt the gaze of the male guests stopping at her, which made Meng Yao very uncomfortable, if those male guests knew that they were Gu Zhiyao who beat them up and cried, I don't know if they would show that admiration.
The female guests present had seen themselves at the banquet in the Changwang Mansion earlier, and now they all cast unfriendly glances because of the recent rumors between themselves and the six princes.
