Chapter 296

Li Jingjing's little teasing eased Bai Xian's depression slightly, but she noticed that there seemed to be several dissatisfied eyes in the banquet. She didn't know when she provoked anyone, because she didn't want to make the Shao family's banquet half incomplete. She lowered her head and minimized her sense of existence.

Li Jingjing glanced up, then leaned in Bai Xian's ear and said, "sister xian'er, I tell you, I went to a banquet recently, but you have become a hot topic among the women's family members recently."

Bai Xian helped her forehead. She didn't do anything. Even if she ran to the southwest on impulse, she tried to hide it from everyone.

Li Jingjing said, "sister xian'er, don't believe it. Now everyone says that the holy master has called you many times to reuse you." her voice was light and thin, and no one could hear except Bai Xian.

Bai Xian was dumbfounded and laughed. The power of echoing others is too great. She hasn't seen the emperor several times in the past year. When did she become summoned repeatedly?

She also whispered to Li Jingjing: "years ago, I was called into the palace by the holy master, but I was so angry when I said something wrong that I felt lucky not to demote."

The two whispered. Princess Shuya was even more angry when she saw this scene. She said to the lady sitting next to her: "lady Shufei, it's rare for us to go out of the palace. Today, the Shao family invited so many Luodu ladies. Let's let them perform."

Shao ya, the lady of the imperial concubine, even if she has an eight year old child, is still like a 28 year old girl. She has a pair of big watery eyes on her perfect oval face. Looking around, she seems to be telling you something.

Sitting with Princess Shuya, who has always been famous for her tenderness, it is obvious that shaoya's temperament is emitted from her heart. In contrast, many wives have excluded Princess Shuya from their daughter-in-law.

Shaoya chuckled and said to Du Wangshu sitting on the other side of her, "sister-in-law, the feeling of going out of the palace for the new year is really different from that in the palace. Seeing so many beautiful women like flowers, my heart can't help jumping. It's better to let them perform voluntarily."

Du Wangshu loves his little sister-in-law most. Everyone can see how many privileges a woman has when she is the emperor, but few people understand how sad it is to live in the palace wall all her life.

She smiled and nodded, and immediately raised her voice: "ladies, there is a lady here today. Let's volunteer to perform and let her see the style of women in our family, OK?"

Bai Xian also adapted to the mode that as long as there was a banquet, someone must propose to let the women's families perform their talents. First, the Ladies wanted to make their daughter earn a good reputation, and second, they wanted their children to be favored by the noble people, so as to marry into a higher family.

At this time, lady Shufei was present, and everyone was more enthusiastic. Almost as soon as Du Wangshu's voice fell, someone stood up and said, "courtiers are willing to perform."

Bai Xian and Li Jingjing look at each other. Today, they are not Zuo Shuwan and Liu Minyan, who are always in the limelight, but a distant relative of the Shao family. The woman's name is Shao linling. She looks soft and gentle. Her father is just a six grade junior official.

Shao linling also danced the swaying water sleeve dance. Looking at Princess Shu and Du Wangshu, a satisfied smile appeared on their faces. Bai Xian narrowed her eyes and felt uneasy in her heart.

However, it was not until after the lunch that Du Wangshu deliberately left Bai Xian behind that she realized what Shao linling had chosen to show up in front of everyone on this day.

Princess Shu seldom goes home. Bai Xian doesn't want to delay the Shao family's reunion. Therefore, after the banquet, she goes directly to the door with Li Jingjing. Unexpectedly, before she goes out of the gate of the inner yard, she is stopped by the big servant girl Ziling around Du Wangshu. Watching Ziling panting, Bai Xian stops in place and waits.

"Madam Bai, my wife asks you to talk in the main hall."

"It's not good. Princess Shu and her wife are reuniting with their family. What did I do as an outsider in the past." although Bai Xian likes Shao Yue, the Shao family are dissatisfied with themselves except Du Wangshu and Shao Yue. They don't want to catch up with others for the new year.

Of course Ziling refused, because Du Wangshu gave her the order to take Bai Xian back with her when she went back, so she said all her good words, and Bai Xian had to choose to return.

And Li Jingjing looked at each other. After they exchanged a look of good-bye next time, Bai Xian followed Ziling and walked slowly towards the main hall.

Looking at Ziling's forehead, Bai Xian gently advised him, "Ziling, wipe your sweat first. Although it's sunny these days, it's really hard to feel dizzy if there's a cold wind."

Ziling smiled gratefully at Bai Xian. Then she took out her handkerchief to wipe her sweat. Bai Xian took the opportunity to ask, "I don't know why madam is looking for me."

As the big servant girl around all the women's dependents, she can be said to be the most important confidant around the master. For Du Wangshu's thoughts, Bai Xian asked no one as quickly as he asked Ziling directly.

Ziling hesitated for a long time before whispering, "general Shao went to the southwest... Madam wants to thank the girl."

Bai Xian had a sudden feeling in her heart. At that time, she knew the news of Shao Yue's disappearance. In an emergency, she left Luodu directly to the southwest. Although she also understood that in the eyes of the ancients, her behavior was a little bold, abrupt and rebellious, but she didn't regret it.

Pack up your mood. As soon as Bai Xian walked into the main hall, he saw that Du Wangshu was having a intimate conversation with Princess Shu, and quickly saluted: "see Princess Shu, madam Shao."

Princess Shu is a gentle beauty like water. Such a beauty is more like a woman coming out of the water town in the south of the Yangtze River than a woman in the north.

Bai Xian admitted that being looked at by the beauty was also a happy thing. In addition, there was no displeasure in Shufei's sight. She just stood in place like a pupil waiting for the teacher to speak.

But before long, Princess Shu laughed, her voice was like a clear stream flowing in the mountains. Because of the cover of trees, she could show her true face only under the moonlight.

"Sure enough, she is a different woman."

Du Wangshu smiled: "madam, I told you earlier that Bai Xian is different from others. Look, you finally believe it this time."

Bai Xian said humbly: "thanks to the praise of her mother and Mrs. Shao, Bai Xian is just an ordinary person. He can come to Luodu only with the help of the Shao family and a little luck."

Princess Shu took Bai Xian's hand and asked her to sit down beside her: "I've seen you several times at the Palace Banquet before, but it's too far away to see clearly. Now look so close..."
