At this moment, a girl in brocade clothes suddenly came over.
The color of her clothes is very plain, but it is made of fine cloud brocade. There are several expensive crabapple flowers in her hair. The style of her clothes is obviously the clothes of a palace maid. However, although she is a maid, she is exquisitely dressed and not inferior to her at all. A woman from an aristocratic family present.
She is none other than the Sixth Princess's personal maid, Manchun.
Manchun saw Mingshu and felt slightly blessed, but did not say anything. Instead, he turned to Hu Huizhi and said, "Miss Hui, the Sixth Princess invites you to come over."
As for the others, Manchun completely turned a blind eye.
Hu Huizhi still had something to say, but since Man Chun came to invite him in person, Hu Huizhi had no choice but to nod his head and said, "Okay, I'll go right away."
After saying that, he turned back and glanced at Shen Fengxu again. Although his face looked leisurely, there was a vague coldness in his eyes.
Shen Fengxu only smiled in response.
Seeing Hu Huizhi leaving, Shen Fengxu also bowed to Mingshu, then took Shen Baitang away without even saying a word to Mingshu.
Mingshu: "..."
He should be the most distinguished person, right?!
After leaving, Shen Baitang asked Shen Fengxu: "How do you know Prince Ning?"
She was also really curious.
Shen Fengxu has always been in Dongning Bo's house, and only goes out to a few places occasionally. Even if he meets him by chance, how can he know Mingshu?
Chen Fengxu thought for a while and then said: "Didn't I meet the second sister in the bookstore before? It was the prince who happened to meet me that day."
It’s better not to mention places like Yonglefang.
Shen Baitang nodded: "That's it."
At the banquet, Shen Yulou was still joking with Jiang Xiangyue, and the eldest lady and Shen Yuxiang were also chatting with Mrs. Jiang from Yi'an Bo Mansion. The atmosphere was originally very harmonious. However, as soon as the two of them came back, several people's eyes fell on on them.
Seeing Shen Baitang and Shen Fengxu return, Shen Yulou smiled softly and asked, "Second sister, have you sobered up?"
Shen Baitang said very coldly: "I don't care, eldest sister."
Jiang Xianyue had been quarreling with Shen Baitang for more than half a year, and she understood Shen Baitang's character best. Shen Baitang always had a clear distinction between love and hate. He was very close to those he liked, but he was very repulsive to those he disliked without any concealment. But why did Shen Baitang treat Shen Yulou like this?
Jiang Xianyue felt that no one should hate someone like Shen Yulou.
After looking at them for a long time, I couldn't see any clues from the faces of these two people, so I stopped interested.
When the wine was in full swing, a woman suddenly said: "The weather is perfect today, but drinking and admiring flowers would be too boring. It just so happens that all the gentlemen and girls from aristocratic families are here, why don't we each show off our talents?"
The girl who spoke was dressed in luxurious clothes, with an exquisite bun on her head and twelve tasseled brocade hairpins. Her clothes were complicated and exquisite, and her face was bright and eye-catching, like flowers blooming on the branches, taking over the spring breeze.
It is none other than the Sixth Princess Minglan.
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone at the banquet looked at each other, all eager to try.
The current occasion is a blind date party in disguise. Normally, private contact between men and women would be detrimental to their reputation, but in such an occasion, no matter what they do, it is justified.
Women, in particular, are not allowed to appear in the public eye. Even if they have talents, they have no place to perform. But now is a good opportunity to show themselves, and if they are favored by the prince present, that would be even better. Maybe You can also leap from a branch to become a phoenix.
Hu Huizhi was the first to respond: "Of course that's good."
The Sixth Princess didn't say this for no reason. Fu Yunsheng was also present today. Hu Huizhi came specially to attend the wedding banquet of a twelve-year-old girl just to see Fu Yunsheng. The Sixth Princess's proposal was to let Hu Huizhi be there.
Fu Yunsheng shines brightly in front of him.
The other girls can only serve as foils for Hu Huizhi.
Prince Mingcheng smiled lightly and asked: "In that case, who will come first?"
"Why don't Your Highness order someone?" Hu Huizhi said with a charming smile.
"That's fine." Ming Cheng muttered, and his eyes swept over the faces of the gentlemen and girls present.
All the girls present couldn't help but become nervous, with a bit of shyness on their faces. They were looking forward to Ming Cheng calling their names, but they were also a little worried. If Ming Cheng really did, would it attract others?
of jealousy.
However, Ming Cheng's eyes swept over everyone one by one, but in the end he did not stop at any one person. It was probably because he did not see anyone who interested him. Even Shen Yulou only glanced at them in a hurry.
So Ming Cheng said: "That's all, instead of me doing something, why not hide the hook, and the one who guesses wrong will perform a talent show, how about that?"
Hidden hook is a game played at banquets. It involves hiding a silver hook in your hand and asking others to guess whether it is left or right hand. Anyone who guesses wrong will be fined a drink. The rules are very simple.
The sixth princess smiled slightly: "Okay, then, who comes first?"
Back to the first question.
The fourth prince Ming Yan frowned slightly and said: "Since it is Miss Xiang Ning's wedding banquet, let Miss Xiang Ning come first."
Reasonable.
When Mrs. Gu heard this, she couldn't help but feel a little nervous, and secretly winked at Gu Xiangning.
She was afraid that Gu Xiangning would be petty again and refused to participate in it, even if it was just a sideshow, but this was the first thing the princes and princesses mentioned, and she couldn't disobey it or ruin their interest no matter what.
Although Gu Xiangning usually didn't like these things, he still understood the importance, so he nodded, stood up, held the silver hook prepared by others in advance, looked at the fourth prince, and said: "Then first
Please give the Fourth Prince a guess."
Ming Yan mentioned Gu Xiangning for no reason, which made her unhappy, so she was the first to name the fourth prince.
Ming Yan did not hesitate, glanced at Gu Xiangning, and said confidently: "Left hand."
Gu Xiangning opened her left hand, and the silver hook was indeed in her left hand.
Everyone praised one after another: "The fourth prince has such keen observation skills!"
"Yes, I can see it right away."
There are countless people who flatter and please.
It was very deliberate.
After he ordered Ming Yan, it was Ming Yan's turn. He hid the silver hook, his eyes swept over the faces of the noble ladies in the capital, and finally fell on Shen Yulou, saying: "Miss Yulou."
Although many days have passed, Shen Yulou's smile that day in front of White Deer Academy is still deeply engraved in Ming Yan's mind.
So, he ordered Shen Yulou.
Shen Yulou stood up with a gentle face. After thinking for a moment, he said: "I wonder if it is in the fourth prince's left hand?"
But Mingyan smiled: "Miss Yulou guessed wrong, but she has to perform her talent."
Although he is born with a fierce appearance, his personality is not a vicious person, and now his smile also reveals a bit of gentleness.
