Ruan Mingjiao didn't have time to hear about Yan Shi'an's dumb loss, and it was the third year of junior high school in a blink of an eye.

Early in the morning, Songbao hurriedly pulled her up, freshened up, and was busy all the time.

Ruan Mingjiao was wrapped in three or four layers of clothes, and the outer shirt was a floor-mopping smoke cage plum blossom water skirt, which was extremely complex and luxurious, lining her waist very well, with a green silk combed with a tassel bun, and a pair of coral beads swaying in a row, slightly playful.

With a gorgeous face and light makeup but exquisite, Songbao was exaggeratedly stunned in place, and praised Mu Nene: "County Lord, you are so beautiful!" ”

Ruan Mingjiao frowned, tapped her forehead, and said angrily: "It's too exaggerated!" ”

Song Bao covered his forehead and chuckled, "No, the county lord is already in a state of captivity." ”

Before Ruan Mingjiao could respond to her sycophancy, Yuan Ying's knock sounded outside the door, "County Lord, it's not too early, we should go." ”

"Here we are." Ruan Mingjiao replied, pulled Songbao and went out.

As soon as the door opened, Yuan Ying's body trembled, and her eyelashes trembled slightly.

"Let's go, why are you standing stupidly?" Ruan Mingjiao asked puzzled, and couldn't help but look down at herself.

Yuan Ying knew that he was rude, his eyes rolled and he retracted his thoughts, sighed, and hurriedly walked in front to open the way, only Ruan Mingjiao was puzzled, but Songbao on the side seemed to guess his thoughts, and teased: "Look, Brother Yuan Ying is also stupid." ”

Ruan Mingjiao glanced at her and pretended to be dissatisfied: "I see that you are becoming more and more sharp-toothed." ”

Song Bao stuck out his tongue weakly, didn't dare to say anything more, put his arm around Ruan Mingjiao and followed out the door.

The Spring Banquet, as the name suggests, is the daily banquet in the palace, organized by the concubines and princesses of the harem, inviting the sons and ladies of various families to participate, the wind and the moon, and the pastime of poetry and music. The princes and ministers didn't need to be present, and Shoufu was busy with political affairs and couldn't leave, so Ruan Mingjiao didn't need to wait for Shoufu, just took Songbao and Yuan Ying, and took a carriage to the palace.

The spring banquet is all young people, so this banquet has another meaning, the sons of various families are here for the benefit of the family, so that they can see each other and can unite the family, or seek a future for themselves.

Ruan Mingjiao was bored on the road, so she pulled Songbao to talk about the spring banquet, although she also guessed seven or eight, she was always a little puzzled, the courtiers were so bold and reckless, Your Majesty still allowed such a banquet to exist?

She couldn't figure it out, so she simply unopened the window to get some fresh air.

The banquet was placed in the Chenqian Palace, Xiao Ruohan's palace, and the guests began to get busy early in the morning, and the guests entered the palace in twos and threes, first went to the emperor's imperial study to worship, and then followed the prince to the small school field outside the Chenqian Palace.

Ruan Mingjiao got off the sedan chair, and Yuan Ying could no longer follow, so she only took Songbao to follow the inner servant into the palace.

The long and narrow palace road was unusually quiet, and after the last lesson, although Ruan Mingjiao had some doubts, she didn't dare to talk to the waiter anymore, after all, if you really let people be punished for their own sake, they really shouldn't have lost their lives.

The palace is majestic, every time she comes, she is a little irritable by the majestic momentum in it, and her heart is always as uncomfortable as a kitten's claws, and she always has to sigh that the majesty of the Son of Heaven cannot be disrespected.

"Gillian!"

She followed the chamberlain through the alley and verandah for a while, and saw that she was about to arrive at the front hall of the morning, but she heard someone calling her in front of the palace gate next to her, and as soon as she turned around, she saw Pei Jing, the Marquis of Wudu.

He was dressed in brocade, his face was like white jade, the breeze was bright and moonlight, he was as cool as the world, he was not half arrogant, his eyebrows and eyes were full of tenderness and surprise, and the smile on the corner of his mouth was difficult to hide, "Sure enough, it's Gillian, I'm afraid to admit my mistake!" ”

Ruan Mingjiao's body was stunned, but something flashed in her mind, but her face was not obvious, she was still friendly, and she gave a blessing salute: "Brother Pei Jing." "Although he reached a consensus with Yan Zheng, he couldn't immediately say that he would stay away from the rest of the people, it was too obvious and too dangerous. Ruan Mingjiao will not be so stupid.

Pei Jing returned with a salute and waved his hand to let the servant retreat, "Benhou and the county lord go in together, you can retreat."

The chamberlain said yes, turned and retreated.

"Brother Pei Jing is not with the crown prince?" Ruan Mingjiao glanced at the departing chamberlain, a little strange.

Pei Jing walked on her left side with his hand, listened to her question, looked back at her, and was a little embarrassed, "I dealt with some things today, and I came a little late, so I hurried here after asking Your Majesty for peace." ”

"I see." Ruan Mingjiao nodded.

The two walked unfamiliarly all the way, the atmosphere froze for a while, and Pei Jing spoke again, "Gillian, are you familiar with Yan Zheng?" ”

Ruan Mingjiao was stunned for a moment, and looked at him with a little puzzlement, but Pei Jing seemed to explain, and then said: "Last time he sent you home, he originally wanted to ask, and he thought that you were recovering from a serious illness, so he didn't dare to disturb your rest." ”

Ruan Mingjiao was surprised, suppressed the suspicion in his heart, but shook his head, and his eyes were slightly lost, "Brother Pei Jing forgot, he is Yan Shi'an's younger brother, and he can't say that he is familiar with each other, but he has only met a few times and had a few conflicts. ”

"Gillian don't be sad, it's Yan Shi'an who doesn't know the pearl, Gillian, in fact, ......"

"County Lord, you are finally here, the princess has let the slave wait for you here." Pei Jing's tone was eager, but he was interrupted before he finished speaking, and a maid dressed in goose yellow palace clothes had already greeted him outside the Chenqian Palace, which was Xiao Ruohan's personal maid Biyun.

Seeing Pei Jing, Biyun was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly saluted: "I've seen the Marquis of Wudu." ”

Pei Jing's words were stuck in his throat, but he couldn't say it, he was naturally unhappy in his heart, his face was indifferent and only perfunctory, but Ruan Mingjiao guessed his mind a little, it was difficult for him to confess, fortunately Biyun came in time, otherwise she really didn't know how to deal with it.

Ruan Mingjiao hurriedly pulled Biyun and apologized slightly, "Brother Jing, it seems that we are late, and the banquet has already begun." ”

"Who said that, how dare you open a banquet if you don't come to this palace!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Xiao Ruohan came out of the palace gate with her skirt, dressed in a pink palace dress showing her generosity, her face was fresh and elegant, she pulled a gentle bun, her eyes were as tender as water, and she couldn't help but be stunned when she saw Pei Jing, "Yo, look at it like this, the Marquis of Wudou actually came with Gillian." ”

Pei Jing swept away the previous gloom and bowed, "I've seen the princess"

Xiao Ruohan snorted, and hurriedly beckoned, "Don't stand here, come in quickly." ”

After she finished speaking, she stepped forward and grabbed Ruan Mingjiao's arm, and then entered the palace gate with her head.

Xiao Ruohan's palace is the only one, and she is quite favored, and a palace is complicated by her.

Enter the palace gate, pass through an arch and have another scene, the front hall is separated by a lake, there is a fork in the road, a straight walk is a small courtyard for the female dependents to rest and drink tea, the other from the right hand side of the white marble bridge through the Bishui Lake until the opposite Langfang is the place where the son rests and drinks tea.

An attendant took the first step to intercept Pei Jing's way, and said respectfully: "Master Hou, please come with the slave." ”

Pei Jing glanced at the figure that had entered the small courtyard, and the unwillingness in his eyes lingered for a long time, and finally passed through the Baiyu Bridge with his sleeves.

It is said that the small courtyard is just a Langfang circle, the courtyard is a flowing water banquet, there is a good thing from Xiao Ruohan when he went out to greet Ruan Mingjiao, he stretched his neck to look out of the corridor, and saw Xiao Ruohan coming in with Ruan Mingjiao, followed by Wuwudu Hou Pei Jing, and it spread in the small courtyard for a while.

Yes, when Ruan Mingjiao appeared, all the flowers in the courtyard had different expressions, and everyone wanted to engrave the four words I saw on their faces, either contempt or disdain.

Ruan Mingjiao raised her eyebrows slightly, but her face was indifferent, not affected at all, and the waiter took her to her place.

Xiao Ruohan only thought that it was the first time they saw Ruan Mingjiao come to this banquet, she was a little dazed, and the smile on her face did not decrease, "Everyone, Gillian is a little bored during this time, and the palace invited her to join us, you don't have to be restrained, just feel free." ”

"Naturally, I was bored, I was humiliated by the divorce in public, and I lay on the bed for a few days, how could I not be bored."

As soon as Ruan Mingjiao sat down, she heard a strange yin and yang words, the tone was jealous and mean, she raised her eyes and looked at the blue figure opposite, extremely graceful, with a treasure jade hairpin on her head, especially graceful and luxurious, with a delicate face, and contempt between her eyebrows and eyes.

Ruan Mingjiao recognized her, she was Song Wan'er, the daughter of the Hubu Shangshu, and had a very good relationship with Fan Qingqing, Ruan Mingjiao's eyes turned and she saw Fan Qingqing beside her, compared to the previous domineering, she was particularly low-key today, no wonder she didn't see it when she came in.

There were already people around who couldn't help but sneer at birth, from time to time there was contempt, and the sympathetic gaze fell on Ruan Mingjiao, Xiao Ruohan's face was displeased, slightly angry, and he was about to speak but was preempted.

"Miss Song, who gave you the courage to dare to discuss the matter of the county lord, Your Majesty has already ordered that if anyone dares to discuss this matter again, what will happen to you, you should ask Miss Fan. Why, Miss Song felt that Ling Zun was very angry with the Son of Heaven. ”

Ruan Mingjiao sneered lightly, her eyes wandering over Song and Fan, and she was quite sarcastic, and the threatening contempt in her tone was not disguised at all.

Song Wan'er was stunned, Ruan Mingjiao, who was dodging in her eyes, looked at Fan Qingqing beside her, but she only cared about lowering her head and lowering her existence, just stirring the handkerchief in her hand.

She only thought that Fan Qingqing was in trouble with Ruan Mingjiao, raised her neck again, like an arrogant white swan, and said disdainfully: "The county lord only cares about threatening us and others, but he can't even stand his own marriage, and it is rare not to deviate from the scriptures once, but he is still humiliated in public, and he almost ......."

"Enough!" Before Song Wan'er finished speaking, there was an angry shout from the top of her head, Xiao Ruohan has always been gentle and close, and she has never blushed with anyone, but now it is a rare gaffe, she slapped the table and drank the farce, and turned her head to look at Song Wan'er: "This matter has been concluded, don't speak wildly, do you understand?" ”

Xiao Ruohan said and glanced at the crowd again, and everyone said yes in unison. The farce was just choked, but the weird atmosphere was still there, the original flowing water banquet was quite dull, and the game prepared before was a little less interesting, everyone had their own thoughts, but the occasional whispered exchange did not dare to discuss Ruan Mingjiao loudly, and the parties themselves were also idle.

The news that Ruan Mingjiao and Pei Jing came to the banquet together naturally also fell on the opposite side of Langfang, and the sharp-eyed people had already seen Pei Jing following behind him, and the figure of being reluctant to leave for a long time in front of the arch bridge built by white marble naturally also fell in the eyes of everyone in front of Langfang, including Yan Zheng.
