Chapter 36: Isn't She an Outsider?
After listening to the withered grass's words, Si Wan nodded slowly.
What Withered Grass said was true, in her previous life, she boasted that her talent was the highest in the Fuyao Dynasty, but she was also trapped in the Lingyuan Realm and could not break through.
And when there are spiritual cultivators in the world, there are very few people who can be in the Lingtuo Realm, either they are masters who have been hidden for many years, or they are the heads of the Jianghu sects, all of whom have been cultivating for nearly a hundred years.
But...... Withered grass said that Nan Gongjin's level was actually in the Spirit Extreme Realm, and he had reached the Spirit Extreme Realm at such an age, and he didn't know how high his talent and qualifications were.
Si Wan waved his hand, retracted the hidden space, and returned to the inn.
Si Wan stared at the tea that had cooled down, and there were still tea leaves floating on the tea, which was moving slowly.
"Miss, are you there?" said Green Willow's voice from outside.
"I'm here, what's wrong?" Si Wan replied.
"Just now, someone from the Gu family said that you are invited to the banquet to celebrate your first place. ”
"I see. Si Wan responded, she glanced at the withered grass on the side, and the withered grass immediately understood and returned to the withered grass stone.
Si Juan changed out of the clothes he wore from Nanfu and changed into plain green clothes.
She used to love to wear red clothes, and even the headdress had to be made of pure gold, but after living again, she changed her preferences and liked to wear plain clothes.
After changing his clothes, Si Juan took the green willow and walked to the Gu Mansion.
It was almost dusk, and the golden crow on the horizon had already set halfway, and it sprinkled its last afterglow on the earth, waiting for the arrival of night.
Gu Mansion is a few degrees more luxurious than Nanfu, and it is also more popular than Nanfu, so it is not so lifeless.
The housekeeper of the Gu Mansion seemed to have been waiting outside the door for a long time, and when he saw Si Juan coming, he hurriedly greeted him, "Why didn't Miss Si summon the carriage and came all the way." ”
"Walking here, just to see the splendor in Kyoto, if you take a carriage, you will live up to the beautiful scenery. Si Wan smiled.
"Miss Si is reasonable, please come inside. ”
Steward Gu led Si Juan to the main hall of the banquet, named "Yao Chi".
Before I got closer, I heard bursts of laughter and silk and bamboo music from inside.
"The Emperor, the Empress, Miss Si is here. After the butler took Si Wan with him, he turned and left.
There were many people sitting at the banquet, and it was not the Gu family who sat in the high position, but the human emperor who held the power of the Fuling Dynasty.
The emperor is more than half a hundred years old, and there are a few silver threads in his sideburns, he is not as serious and serious as Si Wan imagined, but a little kind in it.
Si Juan walked over and saluted the emperor, "The people knock on the emperor, the queen." ”
"A few days ago, the palace listened to the discussion of the people under him, saying that Miss Si has a sable cicada, and she looks like a Xi Shi, and when I see it today, it is really so. The queen laughed.
The queen praised it. Si Juan lowered his head and said.
"Flat, take a seat. The Human Emperor waved his hand and said.
Si Juan stood up, she looked around with her afterglow, there were no empty seats, only Nan Gongjin still had a seat next to her.
Is this what it means to let her sit next to Nan Gongjin?
When Si Juan was still thinking about it, Si Qin walked in from the outside in a hurry, and after saluting the emperor and the queen, he stood up and was about to walk towards Nan Gongjin when he was stopped by the queen.
"You're... Si Qin, the concubine of the Si family, right?" the queen bluntly said Si Qin's identity.
Si Qin's face stiffened, "Back to the queen's mother, the courtier... Precisely. ”
"Oh...... This palace knows that you are sisters, so let's sit down together. ”
Although the queen said this, no one came up to add seats, and now there is only one vacant seat next to Nan Gongjin at the banquet......
Si Juan suddenly understood the queen's intentions, Nan Gongjin's fiancée is the daughter of the Si family, and the Si family only has one concubine.
But Si Juan was deprived of the surname Si, so she could not be regarded as the daughter of the Si family, and there would be no one in the position of Nan Gongjin's fiancée.
There are only two people of marriageable age in the Si family, Si Juan and Si Qin, if Si Juan is not the daughter of the Si family, then there is only Si Qin.
Si Qin also seemed to understand the queen's intentions, and walked directly to Nan Gongjin.
Si Wan didn't stand and wait for others to see his jokes, so he walked over quickly and got to the seat first.
Si Qin's face suddenly became unsightly, but he didn't dare to attack, so he forced out a smile and said, "Sister, what are you doing?"
"What does that sister do?" asked Si Wan rhetorically.
"My sister obeyed the queen's wishes and sat at the table. Si Qin said confidently.
"That sister naturally obeys the queen's wishes," Si Wan paused and said, "Enter the table." ”
The smile on Si Qin's face can be described as ugly, if it was in the Si Mansion, Si Juan dared to treat her like this, and she also learned to speak by herself, she would have let Si Juan know the consequences.
But now there is not only Nan Gongjin present, but also the human emperor and queen, she has to pay attention to her posture.
"If my sister wants to sit at the table, she naturally goes to the seat next to her, so why do you want to compete with my sister for this position?" Si Qin said.
"Then why isn't it my sister's seat next to her?" said Si Wan.
Si Qin gritted her teeth, she looked at Nan Gongjin who was sitting on the side, but Nan Gongjin didn't seem to see their fight at this time, and calmly played with the jade wine glass in her hand.
"Oh......" Si Qin suddenly realized, "My sister knows, my sister thinks that she is the fiancée of Lord Nan, so she ...... But my sister seems to have forgotten that Nan Wangye's fiancée is the daughter of the Si family, and my sister is no longer the daughter of the Si family. ”
That sister also seemed to have forgotten that she was not the daughter of the Si family. Si Wan retorted unceremoniously.
Si Qin gritted his teeth in anger, and finally said impatiently: "I will be sooner or later!"
"Why are you still standing there...... Hey, it's the negligence of the palace, so add a seat. Seeing that the situation was almost over, the queen spoke.
Before the queen's words fell, the seat that had been prepared was lifted up and placed at the end of the feast.
"Sister, let's go sit there!" Si Qin said proudly.
The next second, when she was about to sit next to Nan Gongjin, she suddenly felt a gust of cold wind coming, and she shivered with cold.
"Second Miss Si, my lord doesn't like outsiders to sit next to him. Shi Jin said with a cold face, and the voice was so loud that the entire hall heard it, and they all looked up.
Si Qin was embarrassed for a while, her face was blue and red for a while, and it took her a long time before she got up, "That's it... That Qin'er went to another seat. ”
After saying that, Si Qin turned around and glared at Si Juan fiercely, and when he passed by her, he whispered, "You go and sit." ”
"Good. Si Qin responded directly.
The corners of Si Qin's mouth raised a sinister smile, this kind of thing can't make her embarrassed alone.
Unexpectedly, Si Juan walked over and sat in the seat, Shi Jin not only did not speak, but also poured wine for Si Juan.
Si Qin's eyes widened, "Isn't she an outsider!"
Shi Jin didn't raise his eyes to look at Si Qin at all, which made Si Qin very embarrassed.
Si Qin still wanted to have a seizure, but several maids came over and "invited" Si Qin to the seat at the end of the banquet.
