The Abandoned Daughter

Chapter 212 Waves on the Banquet

After that, the poems and paintings of the young ladies, piano and chess, are full of tricks, but there are a few remarkable ones. Xiao Xinyue came to this kind of occasion for the first time, and she was delighted to watch, and from time to time she also commented with sister Xie Ruyue.

Xie Ruzhuo looked funny, but Xie Ruyue treated her like a younger sister. When peeling shrimps, he would also peel them and put them in a plate for Xiao Xinyue.

When Zhang Xiuyan arrived, something went wrong.

What she originally prepared was a guqin, but because of today's concubine, her less proficient guqin also made more and more mistakes. In the end, Zhang Xiuyan simply abandoned the tune and knelt in the same way. The woman is unwell today, please forgive her."

Concubine Hui is not pleasing to see Zhang's family on weekdays. Today's rare opportunity will be ridiculed at the moment, but she won't be preempted by others.

Concubine Ye Gui smiled softly and said, "If you feel unwell, you can rest. It's okay."

Zhang Xiuyan thanked Concubine Ye Gui, staggered back to her position, and couldn't help sobbing silently.

Although her mother had comforted her today, saying that it was her aunt's resurrection was not completely hopeless, and she asked her to relax. But she was sad in her heart. Now that there is no aunt, Xiao Junhan is so perfunctory to her, fearing that she will have no chance to marry her beloved man!

The man she has liked since she can remember, this feeling is like a glass of aged wine, which will last for a long time. But in Xiao Junhan's eyes, it was a bowl of rotten rice, and he avoided it.

In the future, without the concubine Xian, what chance does she have to get close to Xiao Junhan, and how sure is she to marry him!

Xie Ruzhuo was not far from Zhang Xiuyan's table. He hadn't felt it before. At this moment, he heard her sobbing and noticed Zhang Xiuyan's strangeness.

Regardless of her previous life or this life, Zhang Xiuyan's thoughts on Xiao Junhan have never changed. In the previous life, Zhang Xiuyan did not leave her a concubine because she was a concubine, but even so, until Xie Ruzhuo died, Zhang Xiuyan never married Xiao Junhan as she wished.

I'm afraid that in this life, this poor and hateful girl still won't even get a glance of mercy from that man.

After all, she was just a poor man.

Xie Ruzhuo is reminiscing about the past, it might as well have already named this daughter to Xie's house.

Xie Ruyue was injured only when she was in the autumn hunt, and this time she was prepared to prevaricate with the injury. Therefore, Xie Ruzhuo, the first performer in the Xie family, became Xie Ruzhuo.

She had originally prepared a guqin, but when she saw Zhang Xiuyan's appearance, she felt a little sad from it, took a jade flute, and slowly started blowing it up.

"Entering the door of my lovesickness, knowing that I am sad, long-term love is long-term memory, short-term love is infinite. I knew it was so stumbling, and it was as if I didn't know each other."

A long lovesick, the world is full of infatuation and suffering.

Xie Ruzhuo didn't know why she thought of this song, but she sighed in her heart. She didn't feel bitter about this Xiangsimen, she was just afraid. I'm afraid of getting the other party involved, and even more afraid of not being able to get what I want.

Maybe after everything settles, she will have the courage to face her own feelings, and also have the courage to join hands with each other. I just don't know, at that time, whether she still has this qualification and opportunity.

Xiao Junxi had gone to find the Emperor Jing to tell the important things, but he came a little late. When he entered the hall, he heard Xie Ruzhuo blowing about this Sauvignon Blanc.

His heart suddenly became a little nervous, Zhuo'er, is it me who you love, or, are you regretting the acquaintance?

However, when he saw the deep feeling in Xie Ruzhuo's eyes that was like the sea, he instantly settled down.

I am willing to share honor and disgrace with you, as long as you are willing.

Xie Ruzhuo ran into Xiao Junxi's eyes when he finished playing a song and thanked him for his return.

At that moment, it seemed that the surrounding scenes were nothing but you and me. Xie Ruzhuo suddenly felt sore in his eyes, responded with a smile, and returned to his position.

Next was Xie Rufei. She was quite well-formed and wrote a poem about a golden banquet. Although it is not brilliant, it is rare for a fourteen-year-old girl to have such a realm. There was the observant lady present, and she remembered Xie Rufei's name immediately, and secretly began to pay attention.

Xu was that last year's show did not attract the Sacred Heart too much, but this year, Shen Jingci has devoted his time to the ingenuity of dance.

I saw a maid lifted up two big drums, and Shen Jing was kindly dressed in a red dress like a fire. When she danced, she looked like a phoenix bathing in flames, dazzling everyone's eyes chaotically. And every time she hits the drum, her dancing sleeves hit the drum on the other side with strength. Such repetitions are particularly eye-catching.

Beauty is as poetic and picturesque, and there are family princes who can't help but scream.

Xiao Junhan was hidden in the crowd, breathing slightly. He had seen Shen Jingci's dance before, but it was far less shocking than it is today. He had heard about Concubine Xian's affairs today, but Shen Jingci persuaded him to keep his breath first, and then slowly figure it out. Only then did he calm down and pretend that nothing happened and came to the Golden Banquet.

He was absent-minded before, but after watching Shen Jingci's dance at this time, he fully recovered. After all, food **** is also such a big change, it is difficult to conceal men's attractiveness to beauty.

After Shen Jingci finished her dance, she panted slightly and thanked her.

I don't know who raised his head first, and he clapped his hands first, with applause from time to time.

Concubine Ye Gui was also a little shocked, and sighed slightly, "The daughter of the Shen family really lives up to the name of Shuangshu, she has a delicate mind, and even this dance is amazing!"

As soon as Concubine Ye Gui said this, who should remove the leader of this golden banquet, all the ladies also had a score in their hearts.

Only Xie Ruzhuo sat in the position, silent.

In her previous life, she had seen Shen Jingci's dance, but at that time Shen Jingci was on the birthday of Emperor Jing. After she danced, she dropped a banner of longevity from the sky.

Compared with what she was like at the time, Shen Jingci is simply better than her by many times. Even the Jing Emperor at the time said, "Shen's daughter is like this, she is a model of the family's woman."

Later, after Xiao Junhan gained power, he used this sentence as a reason. Not only did he not stand still, but even the door of the palace never let her set foot!

But in this life, Shen Jingci has brought this dance forward to the present in order to save her reputation from declining in the past few days. On the surface, Shen Jingci is beautiful, but Xie Ruzhuo knew that she was forced.

Shen Jingci, you are so attracted to the limelight by standing behind the scenes to the front of the stage. With this kind of honor, you want to quietly find news among the ladies of the major families, but it's not that easy.

Wait, I can push you out, and I can knock you down from the heights into the abyss!

This year's wedding banquet has undoubtedly become Shen Jingci's banquet in the limelight. With her dance, the ladies of the family who performed later are all overshadowed by the set off.

Xiao Xinyue on the side sighed in a low voice, "Miss Shen is really amazing. In the dance just now, someone with inner strength must be able to beat that big drum."

Xie Ruzhuo knew that Shen Jing's martial arts was not bad, but he didn't care about it. Xie Ruyue didn't know, so she asked softly, "You mean, then Shen Jingci actually knows how to martial arts?"

Seeing Xiao Xinyue nodded, Xie Ruyue murmured in doubt, "This Shen family is a civil servant, and the family is not wealthy. How can you teach a daughter to martial arts?"

Xie Ruzhuo smiled Shiran and said, "It's useless for you to think so much about other people's things. Come and eat shrimp." After she said this, she fed Xie Ruyue's previously peeled shrimp into her mouth.

However, this stopped the words, but couldn't stop the suspicion in my heart.

Although Xiao Xinyue's voice was not loud, the people in this banquet hall were not far away, but a few people heard it. The woman's jealousy has always been heavy, and after hearing these words, they all discussed in a low voice.

When she was ready to have tea and chat, Ye Guifei smiled first, “This year’s golden banquet is an eye-opener in this palace. All the ladies are the phoenix among the people, and it can be said that the waves behind the scene push the waves forward.”

Concubine Hui also smiled and said, "Isn't it? I think we were all the little girls sitting at this golden banquet back then. In the past few decades, the concubines have also become old women."

Ye Guifei suddenly smiled and said, "Sister Huifei is not old, but it is indeed their young world from now on."

Seeing that these two concubines deliberately brought the topic to the young girl, there was already that cleverness, and they knew that this was talking about the princes and concubines in disguise.

At the moment, some of the wives provoked the conversation and laughed, "Isn't it? The ministers are all at the age of serving their grandchildren. When the daughter gets married, this half-life wish is considered to be true."

As soon as she spoke, the other ladies also talked about parenting.

Concubine Ye Gui looked around the audience calmly, and saw Xie Ruzhuo's face still indifferent, as if it had nothing to do with her, she nodded her head secretly in her heart, saying that this girl is dignified and steady.

Just as she was about to invite Xie Ruzhuo to speak, she stopped talking when she saw the house attendant slicing in with plates of dim sum.

But who would have thought that Concubine Xian's eyes had just been taken back from Xie Ruzhuo's table, but in an instant, she heard screams from the female family.

"what--"

Xie Ruyue was the first to make a sound.

Everyone followed the prestige, and saw that there were a few more dark spiders on the table that was originally placed with refreshments, vegetables and fruits! And the source of the spider was the golden vessel that was supposed to contain tea!

The spider had obviously been kept in the container for a long time. When he came out, he immediately got up on the table aimlessly.

Xie Ruyue was so scared that she hugged Xie Ruzhuo on the side, shivering constantly. She was afraid of these snakes, insects, rats and ants since she was a child. She saw it appear in front of her eyes, and her scalp was numb.

The little **** who served the refreshment was also terrified, and he uttered a loud voice, knelt on the ground, and said, "My mother, please spare my life, the servant doesn't know anything!"

And the aristocratic young ladies who were close to them had already been so scared that they were trembling, and they kept moving back.

There was a mess in the small hall for a while, but Concubine Ye Gui reacted first and said, "What are you doing? Get the spider away quickly!"

However, the spider is poisonous, so who dares to catch it? The maids immediately waved the whisk in their hands, and cautiously struck at the spiders.

After going back and forth, some spiders were knocked down to the ground and stopped moving, but more were crawling aimlessly on the table.

Xie Ruyue clenched Xie Ruzhuo's hand tightly and closed his eyes tightly. It might as well have a spider swept by the whisk and suddenly jumped onto Xie Ruzhuo's clothes!

Xie Ruzhuo only wanted to comfort Xie Ruyue, but for a while, she was unprepared, only to hear another scream. She looked back and saw Xiao Xinyue looking at her with horror, and tremblingly stretched out her fingers to point to Xie Ruzhuo and said, " Xie Ruzhuo, you, there are spiders on your clothes!"
