Just when Ning Ruyan's thoughts were flying, she suddenly heard Queen Yue call her name, and she couldn't help mentioning it, and hurriedly took two steps forward and knelt on the ground: "Queen Mother." ”

"You're the Ning Clan." Empress Yue looked at her condescendingly, "Raise your head." ”

Ning Ruyan could only raise her head, but her eyelids were drooping.

"Sure enough, it's a sign person." Empress Yue smiled, "It's just a pity, I'm widowed when I first got married." ”

"The husband is dedicated to the country, and the courtiers are proud." Ning Ruyan hurriedly slammed her head on the ground.

"Hmm." Empress Yue couldn't help but nod when she heard this, "That's right, okay, get up." ”

Ning Ruyan thanked her for getting up, and then retreated to the back of the crowd, she didn't have an order, so she naturally had to be at the back.

Huo's expression was complicated and he glanced at Ning Ruyan, but because the occasion was wrong, he couldn't say anything, and Ning Ruyan didn't see it at all.

After the peace was finished, everyone got up and went to the warm pavilion of the imperial garden, and the spring banquet was held in the warm pavilion.

The queen's annual Spring Festival banquet basically invites female dependents to participate, but in recent years, as several princes grow up, the Spring Festival banquet will also invite some male guests, and there is a trend of blind date banquets.

The warm pavilion is very large, there is a small lotus pond in the middle to divide the warm pavilion into two parts, but it happens that men and women sit separately, which can not only echo each other from afar, but also avoid suspicion.

Ning Ruyan's seat was originally supposed to be at the door, but the eldest princess directly asked her to come forward to serve, so she could only face everyone's various eyes, moved to the front, and moved to the eldest princess's side.

And when the emperor brought the male guests over, the banquet began.

In addition to eating and drinking, the banquet is also a talent show, especially the girls, who know that if they perform well today, they may be favored by the royal family, and then they will soar into the royal family.

"Have you prepared a talent?" The eldest princess took a glass of fruit wine and drank a glass of fruit wine, then looked at Ning Ruyan.

"Your Highness, the courtiers are Dai Xiao's body."

"Oh, Hongu forgot about it." The eldest princess smiled, "You say, when a man dies, a woman wants to keep filial piety and festivals for him, but what about a woman when she dies?" It seems that a man can remarry on the same day, right? Even if the tutoring is strict and a little affectionate, three months is the limit. ”

Ning Ruyan hurriedly lowered her head, she couldn't take this word.

"You're good." The eldest princess suddenly said thoughtlessly, "But sometimes women are too good-looking, not necessarily a good thing." ”

"The appearance is given by my father and mother's parents, and this is something that the courtiers can't control." Ning Ruyan glanced at the eldest princess, "What the courtiers can do is to keep their hearts." ”

"What a heart." The eldest princess smiled, "This palace likes you a little." ”

"The courtiers are terrified."

"How many people have tried their best to get the favor of this palace, but you are still scared?" The eldest princess raised her eyebrows slightly, "Can that be attributed to you...... Don't know what to do? ”

"The courtiers don't dare." Ning Ruyan trembled in fright when she heard this, and hurriedly crawled on the ground.

"Haha, get up, this palace just said it casually." The eldest princess put her glass down, "Pour the bar." ”

Ning Ruyan got up and poured wine for the eldest princess with trepidation, but she always felt a vague gaze looking at her, and subconsciously looked over, just met the sight of the colorful county lord, her heart sank, and she hurriedly smiled and looked away.

The eyes of the Colorful County Lord narrowed slightly, last time in the Yanyu Pavilion, she found a woman, although she didn't see her face clearly, but she always felt very similar to this widow of the Jiang family, but how could Brother Ayan want a widow? No, she had to find out.

At this moment, another noble girl went up to the stage and began to perform a dance.

"The girls of the Liu family are all outstanding." The eldest princess looked at the girl performing on the stage and sighed.

Ning Ruyan glanced at the girl on the stage, she didn't know her in this life, but she had contact with her in the previous life, and this person was Liu Jiajia, the second daughter of Liu Kan, the head of the household department.

Liu Kan's eldest daughter is called Liu Sisi, and it is said that she has had a marriage contract with Jiang Yan since she was a child, but because Jiang Yan's reputation is very bad, and he has killed a lot of people after serving as the commander of Yulinwei, so the delicate Miss Liu is very afraid of Jiang Yan.

In her previous life, Liu Jiajia, the second lady of the Liu family, fell in love with Jiang Yan and even recommended a pillow mat, but unfortunately, Jiang Yan didn't fancy her at all, bluntly said that she was ugly, and made the little girl cry many times.

Therefore, when Liu Jiajia saw that Ning Ruyan could enter and leave the Yanyu Pavilion, she was very jealous, and even sneered on many occasions.

And in this life, if she didn't climb into Jiang Yan's bed, then this Miss Liu Er didn't know if she would have a chance.

"The Liu family has a marriage contract with Ah Yan, do you know?" The eldest princess suddenly asked.

"Huh?" Ning Ruyan was stunned for a moment, "Your Highness said with a smile, the courtiers have only been married to the capital for half a year, and they don't even know a few people." ”

"Yes." The eldest princess nodded, "It's not easy for Ah Yan, this kid is not easy, you should be kind to him in the future." ”

"Your Highness laughed, Lord Jiang is the bright moon in the sky, and the courtiers only have the share of looking up." Ning Ruyan's heart finally understood, the reason why the eldest princess invited her to the palace to participate in the palace banquet turned out to be Jiang Yan's hands and feet, but why? What the hell is he trying to do?

She knew that she was good-looking, in her previous life, Jiang Yan bluntly said that he was interested in her, and in this life, he also said that he likes beautiful women, but there are too many beautiful women, why is it himself? After all, your identity is not on the table.

But forget it, even if she wants to break her head, she can't figure it out, so she simply doesn't want to.

After Liu Jiajia's performance, the colorful county lord actually got up: "Queen Mother, Ran'er has also prepared a show." ”

"Really?" Empress Yue smiled when she heard this, "Then let us open our eyes." ”

The colorful county lord walked to the stage: "Ran'er wants to paint, but someone needs to match it with music, I heard that the eldest lady of the Jiang family has extraordinary piano skills, why don't you let her cooperate?" ”

Ning Ruyan frowned slightly, but she didn't speak, just waiting for the queen's ruling.

"Ning, what do you think?" Empress Yue looked at Ning Ruyan.

****

It feels like it's yang again, headache, sore throat, drowsiness, and a symptom from the previous yang! Woo, what a pain!
