She glanced at Ye Shuyu's smug eyes expressionlessly, she didn't care whether she was sitting in front of her or back, and walked over to sit down.

The banquet has not yet officially started, and many people gather in small gatherings to chat and pass the time.

Ye Shuhua was dressed in a cyan dress, beautiful and refined, and only sat quietly on one side of the desk, waiting for the banquet to start.

Ji Cui and Zhu Ying also waited silently behind them.

Lowering his eyes, staring at the elixir in the teacup, his nails rhythmically tapping the rim of the cup.

Seems to be thinking about something.

Suddenly, I felt a look of inquiry.

She raised her eyes and followed her gaze, and happened to face Fang Xu, who was sitting across from them.

His eyes burned, staring at her.

Ye Shuhua hooked the corners of her lips and looked away a little gloomily.

Keep thinking about things.

Princess Wenliu, who was beside Fang Xu, sensed that something was wrong for the first time, and saw that her husband was staring at Ye Shuhua's slut motionlessly.

I was very annoyed, but I still crutched his arm and said softly.

"Xulang, what are you looking at?"

Fang Xu retracted his gaze, and when he saw the people around him, his gaze dodged for a moment and shook his head, "It's nothing." ”

Was Ye Shuhua's eyes disgusted with him just now?

He wrinkled his eyebrows, sighed secretly, and thought.

Finally seeing her today, how could he follow the prince's instructions and attract Ye Shuhua's attention again?

The last to sit at the table was the fourth prince, and he was followed by Yin Zixun, who had recently made a fuss in the capital and asked for marriage to marry Ye Shuhua.

Most of the nobles in the capital just heard that Yin Zixun, the eldest son of the Yin family, is talented and crowns Huaguo.

but they have never seen their true faces.

That time in Yufu, it was a separate table for men and women, and he was hidden in the crowd, and the nobles and ladies of the high family did not see it.

When they heard the eunuch shouting that Yin Zixun had arrived, many nobles stopped chatting and turned their heads to look at the door.

I saw him follow behind the four princes and strode over.

Suddenly made everyone's eyes light up.

Dressed in green clothes, his black hair was curled, and a pale cyan hosta was crossed across the bun.

The hem of his clothes swayed as he walked, his expression was as indifferent as water, and his eyes were full of detachment and indifference.

But for no reason, it still reveals innate nobility and elegance.

When the real posture is graceful, the bearing is extraordinary.

Standing with the four princes, he did not lose his nobility and elegance at all.

As he approached, his gaze moved up to the impeccable and exquisite face.

Everyone gasped even more.

I felt that his countenance was astonishing, and he had taken away the glory of the room.

The rumored Rong Guanhua Kingdom is nothing more than that.

"Wow, Young Master Yin was born so good-looking."

"It's not, it's a pity that he has already decided to marry the lord of Qingya, if only I were the one who made a marriage with him."

"Yes, how can the county lord of Qingya be so good to marry a handsome man like Yin Gongzi."

"Lord Qingya is not only a good life, but I heard that Gongzi Yin is also very good to her. Yin Gongzi went to give a dowry gift, and it is said that there are more than 20 boxes of this one-third of the dowry, of which more than a dozen boxes are gold, and more than a dozen boxes are cloth and jewelry that are difficult to buy! ”

……

Several noble ladies couldn't help but get together and whispered, with jealousy, envy and remorse in their eyes.

Hates himself for not being Ye Shuhua, and hates that the dozen or so boxes of gold and silver jewelry are not for himself.

Xu Yanying looked at Yin Zixun's handsome face, listened to the noise in her ears, and couldn't help but feel sour in her heart.

"What's the use of looking good, it's not a short-lived ghost! The county lord of Qingya carries the name of the evil star on his back, and maybe if he doesn't wait for the marriage, he will kill people. ”

She sneered sneeringly.

The ladies immediately silenced and looked at each other, thinking about Xu Yanying's words, it seemed to be the same thing.

The Xu family was arranged on the right side of the Ye Mansion this time, and Xu Yanying was sitting very close to Ye Shuhua.

Her words just fell into Ye Shuhua's ears.

Ye Shuhua was originally pondering, but when she heard the three words short-lived ghost, her thoughts instantly withdrew back.

Slowly raised his eyes and glanced towards Xu Yanying.

She withdrew her eyes again, her gaze was low, and she secretly remembered what she had just said to Yin Zixun.

Yin Zixun sat in the front position, sitting side by side with the princes.

It is enough to see that the emperor loves him.

After he sat down, his eyes naturally fell on Ye Shuhua, who was sitting in the back.

She is really dressed in green clothes today, he is secretly happy, and he is very happy when he looks at himself.

The Queen Mother's banquet pays the most attention to etiquette.

In addition to the ranking according to the status, the melons and fruits on the table are also different.

But the desks displayed in the first row of each family are almost the same, except that the second and third rows are different.

It's going to be simpler.

Ye Shuhua sat in the second row, with only a cup of tea and a plate of snacks on the desk.

At this time, the emperor and the queen happened to come, and he got up and bowed to the emperor, as if whispering something.

The emperor laughed a few times, pointed at Yin Zixun and teased.

Then he said in a loud voice: "Lord Qingya." ”

Ye Shuhua was hanging her head and quietly waiting for the banquet to begin.

I heard the emperor call himself.

Hurriedly got up and stepped forward to the center of the banquet, saluted: "The courtiers have seen the emperor." ”

The emperor smiled unusually kindly and waved his hand, "No need to be polite, since you have already made a marriage with Zi Xun, you should sit together." Go ahead and sit down beside Zi Xun. ”

The emperor's tone was kind and kind, as if his own parents were telling his juniors.

Ye Shuhua glanced at him quietly, nodded in response, and then walked towards Yin Zixun as instructed.

The palace maids also had the foresight to place the brand-new cutlery and soft cushions.

After taking a seat, Ye Shuhua looked at Yin Zixun's beaming eyebrows and knew that it must be the emperor he begged for.

"Taste this grape, sweet and sour, and Tegong milk tea, I specially asked the palace maid to send a little salt, and the salty and sweet taste I made myself is not bad. Taste it. ”

Yin Zixun said to himself, and his subordinates didn't stop, peeling grapes and pouring milk tea for her.

Ye Shuhua looked at the emperor with a relieved face, and had to take them one by one with a smile.

At this time, the Queen Mother was supported by two grandmothers and walked over.

The banquet officially began.

The Queen Mother has passed the sixtieth birthday, but unlike Yu Zhenguo, the Queen Mother is full of white hair, and the flesh on her face hangs loosely on both sides of her lips.

The traces of time fell on her face, and they were particularly obvious.

Her eyes were cloudy, and she even looked at the audience a little sluggishly.

Ye Shuhua looked at the Queen Mother's expression, and always felt that something was wrong, and before she could think deeply, she heard the eunuch shouting in a long voice with a sharp voice.

"Next, please give gifts and birthday wishes."

The Queen Mother sat at the top, looking at the people who came to celebrate her birthday with a dull gaze, and everyone who came just nodded, and did not say more than half a word.

Soon arrived at Ye Shuhua.

She took the sandalwood box from Ji Cui's hand and strode forward.

When the wooden box was opened, a dazzling red color stabbed everyone's eyes slightly.

The people who were close looked at the contents and froze in surprise, and then looked down at the congratulatory gifts they had prepared in their hands.

I don't think I can do it.

Ye Shuhua bowed, got up and said loudly: "Courtier Ye Shuhua, I wish the Queen Mother a long life and good health." ”

"This is a piece of red jade that the courtiers recently got by chance, the color is pure, the quality is also excellent, the courtiers also made a golden silk nanmu bracelet to string it up, specially dedicated to the Queen Mother, I hope the Queen Mother likes."

As she spoke, she handed the red jade bracelet to the grandmother who was in charge of receiving the gift.

"Oh, this county lord is really attentive, this red jade is a rare object that is rare to see in a hundred years, and the queen mother must like it. Isn't it, the Queen Mother? ”

When the Queen Mother heard the queen ask her, she still nodded mechanically.

Ye Shuhua looked up at this time, and the Queen Mother's expression and posture were exactly the same as those of everyone who presented gifts before, just like a marionette.

What's wrong with the Queen Mother?

Ye Shuhua quietly stepped back and sat back in her seat.

When Ye Shuyu saw her congratulatory gifts, especially the piece of red jade, she saw the queen's gaze towards her, with warmth and disgust.

As if to say, she looked down on the queen and fooled her with a piece of broken pearl and green agate!

At that moment, I was so angry that my face turned green.

This Ye Shuhua, how can she always get in her way!

She just robbed her of a piece of agate, so she bought a better one and presented it to the Queen Mother in front of the queen!

Isn't that sincerity to embarrass her!

She had just given the pearl agate pendant to the queen before the banquet, and now there was a better red jade.

Let the queen think of her, won't her position as the crown prince and concubine be in vain?

It is true that the father made peace with the prince, but the final person who finalized the candidate had to be the queen.

The queen is unwilling, and the prince is willing, so it's useless!

What her mother said about letting her behave well at the Queen Mother's birthday banquet was actually to let her please the queen.

As a result, he was completely ruined by Ye Shuhua this time!

Damn, damn!

Why does she always want to spoil her good deeds!

The maidservant waiting behind Ye Shuyu looked at the piece of red jade with suspicious eyes.

After thinking about it for a moment, I seemed to understand something.

"Second Miss ......"

She approached Ye Shuyu's ear, and on the day she bought pearl and emerald agate, she turned back and accidentally heard everything she heard with Ye Shuyu.

After Ye Shuyu heard this, she was so angry that she was smoking, and the anger in her heart burned her internal organs fiercely.

Gritted his teeth and secretly spit out three words.

Leaf! Beautiful girl! Chinese!

She actually took her own money and bought red jade to give to the Queen Mother, and completely ruined her plan to curry favor with the queen!

Why didn't she die!

Feeling a touch of vicious gaze, Ye Shuhua's expression did not move, and she still lowered her eyes and played with the wine cup in her hand.

You don't have to look to know who it is.

She guessed that she should be angry with the red jade she gave away, and ruined her good deeds of currying favor with the queen with the pearl and emerald agate pendant.

To be honest, she really didn't mean to send the Queen Mother Chiyu.

She just felt that since it was Ye Shuyu's money, she naturally had to buy the best one for the Queen Mother.

Moreover, her purpose this time was originally to please the Queen Mother.

The gift may seem low-key, but it is actually the most expensive.

As for the good thing that spoiled her, it was really unexpected.

At this time, she looked at the Queen Mother's dull face again, and her eyes rolled around.

Just right, you can take advantage of her.
