Gu Xinian didn't need to show off deliberately, his complacency showed naturally in the corners of his eyes and eyebrows.
Meng Zijun only felt his eyes stinging, and his heart was filled with jealousy and resentment. The surging emotions almost overwhelmed him... But he could only hold back and prevent himself from uttering evil words out of control.
.
If you get engaged, get engaged! As long as the two of them don't get married for a day, he still has a chance. Don't think Gu Xinian will give up so easily!
Meng Zijun took a deep breath and suppressed all the dark emotions. He followed Gu Xinian to Shunyitang as if nothing had happened.
The female guests were all in the flower hall of Shunyitang. As soon as Ye Qinglan stepped into the flower hall, she noticed something strange. Almost everyone in the hall looked over in unison. Those eyes were basically curious and appreciative, accompanied by some stealing.
With whispers and thoughtful smiles, Ye Qinglan suddenly had the subtle illusion of transforming into a gorilla in the zoo...
Even Gu Xiyu noticed something was wrong and smiled softly: "Everyone is looking at you!"
Ye Qinglan smiled bitterly in her heart, straightened her waist subconsciously, raised her head, raised her chest, and smiled, showing her best side.
In the eyes of all the female relatives, although this Ye Qinglan is younger, she is gentle and beautiful, with a charming charm in her every frown. In the eyes of everyone, she still smiles calmly and calmly. She is indeed an outstanding person.
Girl, no wonder she caught Gu Xinian's eyes, and Mrs. Zheng was so satisfied with her!
Among these glances, Mrs. Zheng's was the kindest, but Mr. Xue's was the most gloomy. There were also two dissatisfied and cold eyes, but they were those of Mrs. Ma, the Minister of Rites.
Ye Qingfu was already waving at her: "Third sister, I've saved a place for you!" It actually helped her out.
Ye Qinglan walked over with a smile, and Gu Xiyu followed suit. The two sat down next to Ye Qingfu. The people sitting at this table were all young girls, ranging in age from eleven or twelve to fifteen or sixteen. Some of them were Dingguo.
The girls from the same race in the palace were also brought by the female guests who came to congratulate her today, with different personalities and looks. As soon as Ye Qinglan sat down, all the girls looked over.
…
Ye Qinglan, who had experienced the feeling of rare animals again, suddenly had a premonition that the next half day might not be too easy...
Before she could finish her thoughts, another distinguished guest arrived.
Crown Princess Mo arrived gracefully with the two concubines of the Crown Prince. Madam Zheng greeted her with a smile, and many enthusiastic female family members came forward to say hello. It was very lively for a while. Such distinguished guests naturally had to sit in the best seats.
Mrs. Zheng smiled and led Mo and others to the table at the top. Ye Qinglan watched the excitement leisurely.
Shen Qiuyu glanced at Ye Qinglan with bright eyes, and paused for less than a second before moving away as if nothing had happened. Obviously, the last trip to the palace had made Shen Concubine clearly realize how powerful Ye Qinglan was. Before she was unsure,
I won't offend her easily.
Since they didn't come to provoke, Ye Qinglan was naturally happy and relaxed. Just as she was about to turn around to talk to Gu Xiyu, Mo stopped beside her. Then, unexpectedly, she took the initiative and smiled: "Miss Ye Shi, we meet again."
In an instant, Ye Qinglan became the center of attention again.
Mo was born in a famous family. She was also a Crown Princess. As long as the Crown Prince ascended the throne, she would be the Queen of the Sixth Palace. Therefore, in the hearts of all the noble women, even if the Crown Princess was not favored, they would never be offended. With such a noble status,
It also made Mrs. Mo have a kind of dignity that was above everyone else. But they didn't expect that Mrs. Mo would be so kind and polite to Ye Qinglan. When they heard her words again, everyone suddenly felt at ease.
Since they are meeting "again", it means they must have met before. As for the location, do you need to think more about it? It must be in the palace. Thinking further, Mrs. Mo is so enthusiastic about an ordinary girl who has not left the palace.
Naturally, he was affected by Queen Gu's attitude...
In just a short moment, a series of thoughts flashed through everyone's minds. Looking at Ye Qinglan again, their eyes were subtly different.
Ye Qinglan was also secretly shocked, but she quickly reacted, stood up with a smile, and responded gracefully: "I've seen the Crown Princess, and we haven't seen each other for a few days. Is the Crown Princess okay?"
Since someone is rushing to build momentum for her and make her famous, she can't let him down. No matter what Mo's intentions are, at least the current situation is very beneficial to her.
When Mrs. Mo saw how well-behaved she was, she was secretly satisfied. Only in this way could she be worthy of her condescension and praise...
In front of everyone, it actually doesn't matter what he says. What's important is that Mo's statement is enough to make everyone re-evaluate Ye Qinglan's weight. At least, Ma doesn't dare to look at Ye Qinglan like that anymore. Instead, in his heart
I muttered secretly, but fortunately I didn't have time to do anything that day, not even a verbal agreement. Otherwise, when I meet the Crown Princess and the Empress in the future, I will really have no way to explain...
The most shocked person was Xue.
If Mrs. Zheng's statement had surprised and angered her before, now she didn't even dare to feel unhappy at all!
This was the majestic Crown Princess, the future queen of the Western Song Dynasty, who was so warm and polite to Ye Qinglan!
No matter how stupid Ms.
The Crown Princess was so intimate, and there was Empress Gu in the palace... Oh my god! How will she "discipline" Ye Qinglan after she goes back today?
If I had known this day would come, I shouldn't have been so obvious that day...
No one cares about Xue's conflicts and entanglements, because everyone's attention is focused on Ye Qinglan and Mo.
After expressing her concern and closeness in just a few words, Mrs. Mo specially invited Ye Qinglan to sit at the same table with her. Ye Qinglan smiled and declined politely: "Thank you Crown Princess for your kindness. Qinglan can sit at this table."
Today has been a high-profile event, so just give it up when it's good.
Mrs. Mo didn't force her, she smiled and said, "That's fine, you can come and talk to me after the wedding banquet."
Ye Qinglan responded respectfully. Mrs. Mo then left with a smile. Shen Qiuyu followed behind her, her smile not diminishing but her eyes turning cold.
Others didn't know why Mrs. Mo paid so much attention to a girl, but she knew it very well.
Mr. Mo did this deliberately in front of her, clearly to cause trouble for her. The more high-profile Ye Qinglan is, the more secure her marriage with Gu Xinian will be. Seeing this, she can't be impetuous.
?As long as it makes her unhappy, Mr. Mo will definitely spare no effort...
Ye Qingfu was also shocked by this scene. After Mo and others left, she sighed quietly and in awe: "Third sister, when did you become so familiar with the Crown Princess?"
Familiar...it's weird! She and Mrs. Mo have only met two or three times, and they didn't have a chance to talk that time in the palace. Today they really talked. However, no one would believe such a thing.
Bar!
Ye Qinglan responded vaguely: "Actually, the Crown Princess and I are not very close."
...Sure enough, all the girls at the table sneered at this statement, and no one believed it. The only exception was Gu Xiyu, who rarely took the initiative to say: "My cousin's temperament is relatively cold, and even if she is familiar with someone, she rarely expresses it. So obvious."
Ye Qingfu curled her lips and made it clear that she didn't believe it: "Everyone has just seen it with your own eyes. The Crown Princess's attitude towards the third sister is very kind and easy-going. If you are not familiar with her, why bother to put on a show for everyone to see."
Yes, why is Mo doing such a show?
Ye Qinglan's mind was spinning and she had already vaguely guessed the answer.
The prince only dotes on Shen Qiuyu, and the dignified princess has been left aside, which has almost become a joke in the whole capital. But in addition to her proud family background, the princess's appearance, talent and scheming are no match for Shen Qiuyu. She has been eating and drinking in recent years. So many secret losses were incurred. Now because Concubine Lin gave birth to a son and formed a camp with her, she could barely draw a tie with Shen Qiuyu. If Mrs. Mo wanted to deal with Shen Qiuyu, she had to seize her weaknesses.
And Shen Qiuyu's only weakness is Gu Xinian!
The affair between her and Gu Xinian was well known to everyone. It was impossible for the prince not to mind at all. As long as she poked this thorn from time to time, Shen Qiuyu would be at a loss and even lose the prince's favor. As long as the prince His heart is no longer with Shen Qiuyu. No matter how beautiful and scheming Shen Qiuyu is, he cannot be Mo's opponent.
The enemy of your enemy is your friend! This theorem is applicable at all times. That's why Mo showed his kindness to her in such a high-profile manner. Even if it has no effect in the short term, it is still a pleasure to calm Qiuyu out of anger. .
After thinking about this, Ye Qinglan felt much calmer.
Since both parties have the same goal and each has their own benefits, the next thing is much simpler.
After the wedding banquet, everyone moved to the main hall of Shunyi Hall to talk. Ye Qinglan took the initiative to come forward and say hello to Mrs. Mo. Seeing that she was so smart, Mrs. Mo felt satisfied and smiled kindly: "Don't meet so many times in the future. Sorry, sit down and talk!"
Ye Qinglan smiled and thanked her, and consciously sat down at the bottom. Unfortunately, the person sitting opposite her was Shen Qiuyu.
…
Gu Xiyu frowned and actually walked over to Ye Qinglan and sat down. Although she didn't say anything, her attitude was calm and calm, somewhat like a lady from a famous family. The former cowardly and introverted Gu Xiyu who dared not approach the crowd seemed to have changed. Like an individual, he exudes a brilliance that cannot be ignored.
Her behavior also attracted the attention of many female relatives. She couldn't help but secretly marvel in her heart. Who said that Gu Xiyu was withdrawn and introverted and different from ordinary people? It is obviously normal! At most, she talks less, but it also makes her look more... Reserved and elegant.
Mrs. Zheng's eyes lit up and she was almost moved to tears. She had been looking forward to this day for so long. All of this is due to Ye Qinglan... (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come Vote for recommendations, vote monthly, and your support is my biggest motivation.)
