Yun Ling's eyebrows were tightly locked, and she was wearing a long, dark bamboo dress, with a single tasseled hairpin and three green tassels on her head. She had a seven-colored gem with silver pendant, and her brilliance was as stunning as summer, her appearance was truly astonishing, and her bearing was elegant. She was truly worthy of being called a famous general's daughter.
Wei Ru happened to raise her head as well, and looked over at Lian Ru Yue. She slightly nodded at Lian Ru Yue, and even Ru Yue returned the greeting.
Wei Ruchao's previous life was the main wangfei of the eighth prince Feng Ye. He had come to the capital this time probably for the wedding with Feng Ye. According to the time of his previous life, Feng Ye would be married on this year's Mid-Autumn Festival.
It was just that he didn't know if this life would be the same.
"Princess Jianan's poems and paintings are all poems. There are paintings in them. Xiao Shan was admiring them. Truly admiring, admiring …" At this time, a man's voice sounded, interrupting Lian Yue's thoughts.
The crowd looked and saw that Princess Jianan's poem was about the former famous scholar of the capital, the eldest son of the Duke of Xiao, Xiao Shan.
He came too? It was said that he was going to be married the next month. The target of the marriage was the second daughter of the Military Department's Division Chief, Lord Li, Li Yuanxin.
"Young Master Xiao is too kind," Wei Ru said with a smile. "Jian An made a random poem. It's nothing compared to the talents of all the younger sisters and sisters in the capital."
"Princess, you're too modest. Compared to some people who act tough but are weak inside, the princess' talent is much better. Some people's edge is revealed, but you don't know it's extremely annoying. And Princess Jianan, no matter what you do, it's just right. This is what a woman should be like." Xiao Shan's gaze seemed to vaguely sweep past Lian Ru Yue's body, causing people to feel that he was talking about Lian Ru Yue.
Lian Ru Yue, however, didn't become angry from embarrassment. Her expression was even calmer than usual, as though she didn't hear Xiao Shan's words.
Princess Eleven frowned and lowered her voice as she said to Lian Xiangyue, "This Xiao Shan's mouth is like that of a woman's. I really suspect that the scholar's reputation back then was bought for him by Xiao Zhenhai."
Lian Ruyue smiled slightly and said, "Princess still hasn't learned to be cautious."
"If you want me to hold back and speak, you might as well let me die." Princess Eleven pouted and said.
"Princess Consort Yue has arrived!" At this time, everyone turned around and saw that the Fourth Prince's consort had also walked in. Her second brother Xiao He had installed a prosthetic foot under her feet, so her walking speed was much slower than most people.
As soon as Xiao Rou walked in, her gaze fell on Lian Ruyue's face for a moment. She gave a cold snort, then walked up to Wei Ruyi, greeting him.
After a while, Princess Thirteen, the Fifth Princess, the Third Princess, and a few of the other invited noble daughters all came one by one.
The crowd, in groups of three or five, stood in opposition to the poem, painting and playing the zither. Their mood was harmonious and elegant. Today, Wei Rui was the main character of this banquet, and everyone was taking her as their center.
When she painted poetry, there was always a chorus of exclamations.
Wei Rui kindly invited Linyue to her poem, and she found it hard to refuse it, so she did two of it as well.
"I've long heard that the County Lord Rong He is full of talent. Seeing him today, he really lives up to his reputation." Wei Ru praised.
"Princess, you flatter me. You are not talented. You are not as quick on the uptake as the princess." Liu Ruyue's words were so flawless that they didn't even reveal a single flaw. Wei Ru's cherry lips slightly pursed as a trace of coldness flashed in the corner of her eyes.
Meanwhile, Princess Eleven, Feng Lingyue, was by Lian Ruyue's side. She was pulling on the corner of Lian Ruyue's clothes, and yawning nonstop. Even her tears had started to flow.
Seeing her like this, Feng Ziyao snorted coldly and said, "What a fool, you can't even read a single book, what are you doing here?"
At the same time, Xiao He, who was playing chess with a few noble young masters in the pavilion, saw Feng Lingyue's yawning expression — —
"Haha …" He couldn't help but laugh out loud. Seeing how bored she was and how she was forcing herself to nod and praise others, she was truly adorable.
When the people playing chess with him saw that he made the wrong move, those who were still laughing foolishly, were all stunned for a moment.
"Young duke, did you play the wrong game? Did you lose your mind from anger?"
Xiao He came back to his senses and looked down. Only then did he realize that one of his pieces had landed in the wrong place.
"The young duke has come so casually, as if he doesn't care about that night pearl that is hard to come by in a hundred years." Everyone laughed.
"I've lost. I'm willing to admit defeat. I'll take the Night Pearl." Xiao He took out a precious Luminous Pearl from his waist and placed it in the other party's hands. He stood up and said, "I've already obtained the Luminous Pearl, so it's possible that you've let me go."
When everyone heard this, they understood. Someone laughed and said, "Young Marquis, you want to go and meet this beauty as soon as possible, so you lost this Luminous Pearl right? This is a priceless item."
Xiao He smiled but didn't speak. He stood up and left the pergola.
"I didn't expect this banquet to be so boring. Lian Yue, I'm going there to rest." Princess Eleven could not hold on any longer, so she whispered into Lian Ruyue's ear.
"Go on, don't go too far. I still have some things to say to the princess." Lian Ruyue patted Princess Eleven's hand and said.
"En!" "I'm so afraid of a man like Wei Ruchao. Every sentence he uttered would be written in one sentence, making me wonder if I'm still human, if I still understand what he's saying," Princess Eleven said with a yawn as she ran away.
"The Empress's move is really powerful. She has attracted the attention of all of Lian Rue's enemies." Behind the curtain, Xu Xianfei stood at the back and observed the situation in the courtyard. Senior Servant Jin, who was standing at the side, spoke in a sinister manner.
Even the emperor could escape from her several times with no effort at all, and she was also able to get the County Lord of First-grade with no effort at all. She is definitely not someone easy to deal with, if I were to personally take action myself, then if I were to be bitten in the opposite direction, the gains would not make up for the losses. So, I might as well use that Xiao Rou's hand to eliminate Lian Lun Yue.
"Speaking of which, even Princess Yue is a ruthless person." Granny Jin said.
"Her father is the Scorpion, Xiao Zhenhai. How could she not be fierce?" Xu Xianfei's lips curved into a smile. "But he's also stupid."
"Empress, she has come." When Senior Servant Jin saw Xiao Rou slowly make her way into the palace, she quickly said,
Xu Xianfei pulled back the coldness on her face and revealed a kind smile. When she saw Xiao Rou walking in with the intention to kneel, she said:
"There's no need for Princess Yue to pay her respects. Just sit down."
"Thank you, esteemed imperial concubine." Xiao Rou slowly stood up with a bloodthirsty smile on her face.
