Chapter 161: Toast
Xin Yu saluted Princess Xuan, "I have seen Her Royal Highness the Princess."
Princess Xuan lowered her eyes, and her voice was as slender as her person: "Miss Kou doesn't need to be polite."
And then, there was nothing else.
King Xiu smiled and asked Kong Fu, "Why did Fu'er come from here?"
"I took Sister Kou to see the little boar."
King Xiu couldn't help but glance at Xin Yu, and his tone became more and more gentle: "It's too cold, you and Miss Kou should go back indoors earlier."
"Are the eldest cousins and Cousin Xuan back?" Kong Fu asked casually.
King Xiu tilted his head: "Is Xuan'er going back?"
Princess Xuan nodded slightly.
King Xiu smiled at Kong Fu and Xin Yu, "Then let's go back together."
It was cold, and almost all the young people who were walking outside were young people from various provinces with their elders, and when they saw King Xiu and his party, they greeted him one after another, and their curious eyes fell straight to Xin Yu.
When a few people walked over, there was a lot of quiet discussion.
"That's Miss Cole, right? How did she get together with King Xiu and Princess Xuan?"
"It's because I saved Miss Kong, I see that Miss Kong has been walking beside Miss Kou, and she looks closer than Princess Xuan."
"Miss Kou is really lucky."
Think about the thriving Qingsong Bookstore, think about the dozen or so shops all over the capital, and then think about the royal circles that you have entered, these young men and women who grew up with a golden spoon can't help but be envious.
Xin Yu was at the entrance and met King Qing.
King Qing glanced at a few people and walked towards King Xiu: "Big brother came early, are you going to visit the plum garden together?"
"It just happened to happen." King Xiu's attitude towards King Qing was polite and polite.
Xin Yu watched silently, King Xindaoxiu was really the one who was treated coldly by the emperor, otherwise King Qing's attitude would not be so casual.
This kind of casualness is not the casualness of acquaintances who make people feel comfortable, but the inappropriate thing of being high.
It seems that King Qing is like this to King Xiu, and the same is true to Princess Xuan.
When King Qing skipped Princess Xuan and spoke to Xin Yu, she thought so.
"Miss Kou is here too."
"His Royal Highness King Qing."
King Qing looked at the girl with a calm expression with a smile, and his heart was on fire.
He had always hated people who couldn't see who he was.
This girl looks like his aunt, and she also blocks her mother's concubine, is it possible that she thinks that she is neither humble nor arrogant, and she can make the royal family look at her differently like in this story?
It's ridiculous.
Xin Yu is not a dull person, and she faintly feels that King Qing has a lot of malice towards her.
At this moment, I heard Kong Fu speak: "Brother He."
Several people looked over together, and saw He Qingxiao striding over.
Today he wore a sand-blue robe covered with a dark coat. The ink is flying, the snow and frost are all over the place, and it is obviously not an outstanding dress, but it makes people can't take their eyes off.
He Qingxiao saw Xin Yu beside Kong Fu, there was no change on his face, but he was inexplicably a little weak.
Miss Kou reminded him to avoid the recent banquet.
However, he also thought that the eldest princess's mansion should invite Miss Kou.
"I've seen three highnesses." He Qingxiao greeted the two princes and a princess, responded to Kong Fu with a smile, and then bowed his head to Xin Yu, "Miss Kou."
Xin Yu's eyes fell on the sand-blue robe in his big room, and he determined that the scene of the accident was today.
"Lord He." returned the salute, and Xin Yu swept towards King Qing.
Lord He is a calm person, what happened to provoke this prince?
Another voice sounded: "Big cousin, second cousin, why are you all standing here and not going in?"
Kong Fu's voice was cheerful: "Big brother."
Jing'an Hou Kong Rui walked over and took Kong Fu's hand: "It's cold outside, let's go in first."
At this time, the guests were almost here, and they were divided into several halls according to their proximity.
Xin Yu didn't expect that she would be arranged to share a table with Princess Xuan, and several other girls were
I don't know.
Several girls were obviously familiar with each other, and after greeting Princess Xuan, they focused on Xin Yu.
"Are you Miss Kou?" A girl in red had curiosity in her eyes.
Xin Yu responded generously: "I am."
"I've heard that you have a lot of shops, is it true?"
"There are too many to talk about, only a dozen."
"I see!"
Another girl in an apricot-colored jacket asked Mr. Songling with great interest, "When will Mr. Songling's new book be released?" How old is Mr. Songling? What does it look like?"
A series of questions came over, and Xin Yu only replied one: "Mr. Songling's new script is tentatively scheduled to be released at the beginning of the lunar month."
After asking, several girls withdrew their attention from Xin Yu and talked and laughed to themselves.
On a table, it seemed that Xin Yu and Princess Xuan were alone.
Xin Yu didn't care and ate the vegetables silently.
She had already seen that these noble girls just now were not really enthusiastic, but they just felt strange.
After three rounds of drinking, the atmosphere in several banquet parlors became lively.
King Qing drank a lot of wine, and when he got a little drunk, he patted Kong Rui on the shoulder: "I also invited Miss Kou on this occasion today, it seems that my aunt values Miss Kou very much."
Kong Rui endured the discomfort of physical contact, and said, "Of course my mother values Fu'er's life-saving benefactor."
King Qing raised his eyebrows: "If you want to say that, I should also thank Miss Kou."
As he spoke, he picked up the glass on the table and walked out.
Kong Rui knew that King Qing was moody, so he hurriedly chased after him.
Bypassing a row of splendid screens, King Qing saw Xin Yu sitting quietly at a glance.
Several noble ladies also saw King Qing, and their laughter stopped.
King Qing walked over with a wine glass, ignoring the salutes of the other nobles, and his eyes fell on Xin Yu's face.
"Today, taking the opportunity of my aunt's birthday banquet, Xiao Wang wants to give Miss Kou a cup."
As soon as these words came out, everyone looked at Xin Yu in surprise.
Xin Yu showed a puzzled expression: "The people's girls don't dare to be, His Royal Highness King Qing has tormented the people's daughters."
"How dare you not do it. Without Miss Kou, Xiao Wang's cousin would have been injured, and cousin Dai Ze's mistake would have been even greater. Miss Kou has helped Xiao Wang's two relatives, and today's glass of wine, Miss Kou should not refuse."
King Qing summoned the maid, picked up a glass of wine from the tray and handed it over.
There was also wine on the table of Xinyu, which was a fruit wine suitable for women to drink, but King Qing handed over a glass of spirits.
The people present looked at King Qing, looked at Xinyu, and knew that there was a lively look.
"Second cousin, I see that Miss Kou has wine in her glass—"
King Qing interrupted Kong Rui's words with a bit of wine: "If my cousin wants to pay tribute to Miss Kou, wait until I finish saluting."
Kong Rui's eyes sank, and it was difficult to quarrel because of his mother's birthday banquet.
Xin Yu didn't quite understand the meaning of King Qing's running in front of her to play drunk, and caught a glimpse of He Qingxiao who was coming.
The previous image flashed in my mind.
It turned out that the scene in the picture happened at this time.
Xin Yu took the wine handed by King Qing and drank it in one gulp.
She drank so happily that not only King Qing was stunned, but everyone who saw this scene was surprised.
He Qingxiao was stunned.
