The maid saluted Sheng Guo'er and said respectfully: "The slave maid is ordered by the Seventh Princess, please move to the side hall with the slave maid." ”

Sheng Guo'er bowed, "Okay, please lead the way." ”

Moyu Pavilion side hall.

Mo Jin was pouring tea for Sheng Guo'er, and Sheng Guo'er was sitting on the soft collapse with a solemn expression.

"Guo'er, drink a cup of hot tea to warm your stomach." Mo Jin picked up the teacup and handed it to Sheng Guo'er.

Sheng Guo'er took the teacup and took a sip, the bitter taste went straight to her throat, choking her cough.

"Slow down." Mo Jin put down the teacup, took the silk scarf next to her, and gently wiped her lips.

Sheng Guo'er calmed down after coughing a few times, looked up and smiled at Mo Jin: "Thank you, Sister Jin!" ”

After that, Sheng Guo'er picked up the teacup again and tasted it carefully.

At this time, the maid walked into the house, curtsied, and said, "Returning girl, the Seventh Princess has asked you to wait in the lobby." ”

Sheng Guo'er put down the teacup, got up and walked outside.

Arriving at the entrance of the lobby, Sheng Guoer stopped. She listened intently, and faintly heard the sound of a man's conversation from the lobby, mixed with a few coquettish gasps of a woman. Cease.

Sheng Guo'er raised her eyebrows, and walked in by herself.

As soon as she stepped into the house, Sheng Guo'er noticed an unusually fragrant smell of fat powder. Immediately after, she heard the man's rough and hearty laughter. She subconsciously frowned, and her gaze quickly swept over the lobby.

At this time, there were three young and well-dressed men sitting in the lobby, both of whom were drinking and having fun. Only the white man sitting on his knees in the center remained, holding a brush and concentrating on painting a portrait.

Sheng Guo'er's gaze swept over the portrait, stopping at the white man in the center.

The man was wearing a snow-blue robe, with a belt of the same color around his waist, a slender and straight figure, handsome and clear facial features, and a bookish temperament.

He was concentrating on the portrait of the girl.

Sheng Guo'er's gaze lingered on his cheek for a moment before moving away, finally landing on his white neck. There was a brightly colored cinnabar mole there.

Sheng Guo'er stared at the cinnabar mole and fell into deep thought.

Whose cinnabar mole is this?

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration occurred in her mind, could it be...... Nangong Yueyi?

This idea popped up, startling Sheng Guo'er, and quickly shook her head to shake off her strange idea. How could Nangong Yueyi have a cinnabar mole, this is definitely a coincidence!

Sheng Guo'er retracted her thoughts, and her eyes fell on Nangong Yueyi again. I saw a portrait of him intently.

Suddenly, Nangong Yueyi put down the brush. He reached out and picked up the drawing paper to look at it carefully, his eyebrows gradually twisted, and he seemed to be a little angry.

After a while, Nangong Yueyi snorted coldly, angrily dropped the drawing paper, got up and strode away.

Sheng Guo'er was stunned, what happened to him? Isn't he satisfied with the painting?

When Mo Jin saw this scene, his face instantly sank.

"Seventh Highness, Seventh Highness?" Mo Jin called lightly twice, but found that Nangong Yueyi had long since disappeared, leaving only empty tables and chairs.

Mo Jin frowned and looked at Sheng Guo'er, "Guo'er, why did His Highness the Seventh suddenly leave?" ”

Sheng Guo'er shook her head and said she didn't know, "Maybe I disturbed His Highness the Seventh Highness painting, and he was not happy." ”

When Mo Jin heard this, he sighed, "Guo'er, don't worry, wait for the prince to come back in the evening, and then ask clearly." If it was really you who disturbed the Seventh Highness, the Seventh Highness would not pursue it. ”

"Hmm!"

Sheng Guo'er nodded, she looked at Nangong Yueyi's portrait with mixed feelings.

I haven't seen it before, but I feel very familiar, as if I've seen it in a dream.

Sheng Guo'er rubbed the corners of her forehead and forced herself to leave the portrait behind.

Night, fall.

The Seven Kings' Mansion is brilliantly lit, staggered, and lively.

The theme of tonight's banquet is called 'A Hundred Flowers Bloom'. Every guest attending the banquet must perform in order to enter the theme session.

Sheng Guo'er, as a guest of the Seven Kings' Mansion, was invited to the banquet as a matter of course.

Sheng Guo'er changed into an elegant goose yellow skirt, pulled a simple flying fairy bun, and inserted a jasper hairpin.

The makeup is simple, but the skin is better than snow, the eyebrows are curved like a crescent moon, the eyes are black and bright like stars, the cherry mouth is full and ruddy, and the whole person looks bright and moving, and the beauty is incomprehensible.

As soon as she arrived, she immediately attracted everyone's attention and admiration.

"Oh my God, the Sheng family is so beautiful in charge."

"yes."

"The Sheng family is really good. Not only does the appearance be peugeot, but also proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, which can be called perfect. How happy I would be if I had married such a wife! ”

"Huh! You can pull it down. Just you? Are you worthy of the eldest lady of the Sheng family? ”

……

Listening to the voices around her, Sheng Guo'er frowned slightly. She looked around, making sure she didn't know the men. But how could they describe her as 'such a woman is perfect'?

Sheng Guo'er was puzzled, and her eyes fell on one of the women. She wore a pink-purple gauze shirt, and her long black and silky hair was loosely draped, revealing her snow-white and graceful neck. A pretty melon seed face, crystal clear skin, willow eyebrows, almond eyes, Qiong nose, and diamond lips...... All of them are seductive.

This woman is the same age as Sheng Guoer, but her appearance is better than Sheng Guoer. She was looking at a man with affection.

"Oh, the eldest lady of the Sheng family is also here!" I don't know who shouted, the originally noisy lobby suddenly quieted down, and all eyes fell on Sheng Guo'er, including the man who was admiring the beauty, who also turned his head to look at Sheng Guo'er.

Sheng Guo'er raised her eyebrows, how could she not know when she became a fragrant dumpling.

"Guo'er, you and Seventh Brother can sit at the same table." Mo Jin whispered to Sheng Guo'er.

Sheng Guo'er shook her head and refused, "Sister Mojin, no need, I'll find a place to sit by myself." ”

Sheng Guo'er stood up, swept her eyes around the lobby, and after finding her seat, Shi Shiran walked over.

"Guo'er, let me introduce you, this is Qin Guogong's grandson - Qin Yuxuan." Mo Jin pointed to the young man in the dark robe and introduced.

"Hello, Qin Yuxuan." Sheng Guo'er smiled kindly.

Qin Yuxuan stood up, clasped his fists, and said politely: "I've met Miss Sheng, it's the first time I've met, please advise." ”

"Qin Gongzi is polite."

"Huh! Miss Sheng, you also like to write poetry? Why haven't I heard you mention it before? A surprised female voice rang out, her tone full of jealousy and resentment.

Sheng Guoer is looking for prestige, and she is a girl about eighteen years old. The girl wore a water-green skirt, combed a flying fairy bun, and had a beautiful face. It's just that she looked at her with hostility, which made Sheng Guo'er feel quite inexplicable.

Sheng Guo'er looked at Mo Jin suspiciously, asking why.

Mo Jin explained in a low voice: "Her name is Meng Qili, and her father is compiled by the Hanlin Academy. She has a quirky personality, and she always likes to compare you with her, and often ridicules and laughs at you. ”

Sheng Guo'er suddenly realized that it was her.

Sheng Guo'er didn't take it to heart. She was not familiar with Meng Qili, she had only heard of her name. Sheng Guo'er smiled and nodded at Meng Qili, which was regarded as a greeting.

Meng Qili was so angry that she gritted her teeth. Why should she be ignored? Sheng Guo'er is an orphan girl, why is she so arrogant and rude?

Meng Qili secretly decided in her heart that she must humiliate Sheng Guo'er in the future, so that Sheng Guo'er would lose face.

The banquet officially began.

Sheng Guo'er sat in the seat dignified and demure, listening to the people next to her chanting poetry and playing the piano. occasionally raised her eyes to take a look, but saw Meng Qili sitting not far away drinking alone, looking heartbroken.

Mo Jin leaned close to Sheng Guo'er's ear, lowered his voice and said, "Guo'er, don't pay attention to her." She was sick again. ”

Sheng Guo'er looked at Mo Jin in surprise.

Mo Jin continued: "She has been madly obsessed with the Seventh Emperor Uncle since she was thirteen years old, and she has never forgotten it to this day. But she didn't dare to blatantly covet it, so every time His Highness the Seventh returned to Beijing, she used the excuse to find fault, hoping that His Highness the Seventh would pay more attention to her. Is she crazy? ”

"......" the corners of Sheng Guo'er's mouth twitched.

Mo Jin said, shaking his head, "It's a pity that His Royal Highness the Seventh doesn't bother to take care of her at all." Every time she asks for her own hardship, she deserves it! ”

All the words Mo Jin said reached Meng Qili's ears, and her cheeks suddenly flushed with anger.

Seeing this, Mo Jin couldn't help laughing and laughed lowly.

Meng Qili glared at Mo Jin angrily, "! I warn you, let me hear you slander me again, be careful that I tear your mouth apart! ”

"I'm not afraid of you."

"Alright."

Sheng Guo'er hurriedly interrupted Mo Jin and looked at Meng Qili unhappily, "Meng Qili, Mo Jin is my personal maid, don't you want to bully her." ”

"Guo'er......" Mo Jin looked at Sheng Guo'er gratefully, with tears flashing in his eyes, grateful.

Meng Qili snorted coldly, "Hmph! Since you like her, then you should marry her. ”

With that, she threw up her sleeves and left.

Leaving Sheng Guo'er and Mo Jin to look at each other awkwardly.

"Mo Jin, thank you for helping me just now."

Mo Jin shook his head, "Sister Guo'er, you don't need to be polite to me. At this time, of course, I should support you. ”

Sheng Guo'er pursed her lips and smiled, "Hmm! ”

"Look, His Royal Highness the Seventh is coming this way, he must be looking for you." Mo Jin said excitedly: "Sister Guo'er, you should get ready to perform on stage." I'll keep an eye on it here, and it'll be fine. ”

"Okay, I'll go." Sheng Guo'er nodded, found a vacant place to sit down, took out a pen and paper and prepared to compose a poem.

Her modern-day father was a professor and was brilliantly written.

Although her parents died early, Sheng Guo'er benefited greatly from the rich collection of poetry accumulated by her ancestors. She is now learning and selling, although she can't write a poem that has been passed down through the ages, but it is no problem to write two small poems.

Sheng Guo'er closed her eyes and thought for a moment, then opened her eyes and waved her pen.

A resolute look appeared in her clear and agile eyes, and she took a deep breath and concentrated her luck to write.

"Whoa......

Suddenly, someone spilled a cup of tea on Sheng Guo'er's face. The hot tea was poured on Sheng Guo'er's face and body, and it was hot and painful. Sheng Guo'er screamed in pain, and the pen in his hand slipped to the ground.

"Sheng Guo'er, you also deserve to participate in such a noble and gorgeous party? You've defiled this place! Meng Qili glared at Sheng Guo'er arrogantly and scolded viciously.

Mo Jin hurriedly stepped forward to support the embarrassed Sheng Guo'er. Sheng Guo'er's face was flushed, sweat broke out on her forehead, and her eyes were as cold as a blade shooting towards Meng Qili.

Meng Qili was so frightened by her that she retreated a few steps, and then became angry, "Sheng Guo'er, what are you looking at me like this?" Am I wrong? You are a rural village girl who also vainly tries to enter the palace for a banquet, it is simply a toad who wants to eat swan meat. ”

The more Meng Qili spoke, the more angry she became, "Sheng Guo'er, you are really shameless!" I think you deliberately took advantage of the absence of His Royal Highness the Seventh to sneak into the palace, right? ”

"You talk nonsense!"

"What nonsense do I have?"

Mo Jin angrily rebuked Meng Qili, "Meng Qili, you are enough!" This is the Royal Garden, not a place for you to go wild! ”

"How did I go wild? I'm telling the truth, you actually favor a shameless woman like Sheng Guo'er? Meng Qili shouted sharply, "This is the palace, not the countryside!" You'd better take care of Sheng Guo'er, or don't blame me for being unkind to her! ”

After Meng Qili finished speaking, she turned around and ran.

Mo Jin looked at Sheng Guo'er worriedly, "Guo'er, don't take it to heart." ”

"I'm fine, what she said is the truth, I expected it." Sheng Guo'er said lightly, "I'll go change my clothes first." ”

Mo Jin nodded and accompanied Sheng Guo'er.
