There were still some hours before the banquet started, and since it was semi-open air, the atmosphere seemed less rigorous, and all the ladies were also interacting with each other.

Shi Xiangling walked to Xie Jingya's side without thinking, and there was a trace of ridicule in his eyes when he looked at her.

"Fifth Miss, you are really capable. You can let someone sneak into a place like this." In her opinion, Xie Jingya is not worthy of being in such a place.

Without waiting for Xie Jingya to reveal her feelings, Tang Yaru returned coldly, "This is the palace. If you say Jingya sneaked in, are you saying that the emperor's guards are useless? You are insulting the royal family's face."

?”

Tang Yaru looked her up and down and mocked coldly: "I don't know, do you have the ability to humiliate the royal family?"

Tang Yaru's words made her furious, and she felt unwilling to do so.

"Who do you think you are, allowing you to talk to me?" As she spoke, she said without any sympathy, "Aren't you just a poor man with no relatives? You still think you are Miss Tangfu, even if you are

Miss Tangfu, your father is only a first- or third-rank official, but he dares to show off his power in front of this young lady. Do you have any rules?"

A cold voice sounded from behind, "Miss Shi Er's tone is so loud!"

When the three of them heard the words, they all looked towards the speaker. They saw her wearing a lake blue cross-collared top with carved makeup, a dark pleated skirt, and an oval face with a pair of big almond eyes and a pretty nose.

, although it no longer has the aura of a girl, it has the charm and aura of time.

"Concubine Rou!" Shi Xiangling said in a low voice before saluting.

This Concubine Rou is one of the people Hua Guifei hates the most. Shi Xiangling naturally hates her, but she is the emperor's woman after all, and she is still a concubine. Even if she is Hua Guifei, she still has to give her three points, so Shi Xiangling

No matter how dissatisfied I was, I didn't dare to express it in front of her.

"My daughter has seen Concubine Rou!"

"My daughter has seen Concubine Rou!"

Xie Jingya and Tang Yaru saluted in unison.

She looked at the two of them carefully, and guessed from Shi Xiangling's words that they were Miss Xie's fifth daughter and Miss Tang.

Concubine Rou looked at Xie Jingya, who was wearing a taro-colored silk shirt and skirt, and chuckled: "Are you the fifth lady of the Xie family?"

"Replying to your Majesty, I am exactly the same." Xie Jingya replied decently and elegantly.

Concubine Rou scanned her face carefully. Although this woman was not beautiful and fragrant, her beauty was by no means inferior to that of a fairy.

Seeing her charm, the first person that came to Concubine Rou's mind was Mrs. Gu, because they were both people with very similar charms.

"Then this is Miss Tang."

Compared with Xie Jingya, although Tang Yaru does not have a stunning charm, her deep facial features are unforgettable. If a woman likes this kind of appearance, she will like it very much, and if she doesn't like it, she will dislike it very much. And Rou

The concubine is one of those people who likes her kind of beauty.

Tang Yaru also saluted appropriately and replied.

Concubine Rou looked at Tang Yaru and said with a chuckle: "The emperor often said that Mr. Tang had been stationed at the border for decades and made great contributions. Now that something like this happened to Tang Mansion, the emperor was deeply saddened. When he learned that Miss Tang survived,

,The Emperor said that he would never wrong Miss Tang."

"If Miss Tang has any grievances, you can tell me. I will definitely make the decision for you. Anyone who doesn't take you into consideration doesn't take me into consideration!"

When talking about the latter part, her eyes glanced at Shi Xiangling intentionally or unintentionally.

Concubine Rou has always been gentle and gentle, but she rarely speaks in such a strong tone.

"Hey, who made Sister Rou Fei so angry?" Concubine Hua walked over from one side.

The dark red tube top dress is covered with a dark red woven floral tulle skirt, which makes her fair complexion appear faintly.

Concubine Rou smiled and saluted, "I have met Concubine Hua!"

Everyone else also saluted and said hello.

When Shi Xiangling saw his aunt, he immediately stood beside her.

"Sister Concubine Rou rarely speaks in such a strong tone. Who offended my sister today?" Concubine Hua said with a half-cold smile.

Shi Xiangling quickly explained: "It's all my fault. I shouldn't have offended Miss Tang, which made Concubine Rou angry. I hope Concubine Rou will show her love and not argue with me."

"So that's it." Concubine Hua glanced at Xie Jingya and Tang Yaru coldly, and said in a neutral tone: "After Miss Tang became a hero, she should treat her well. Concubine Rou is rushing to please her, even though

It's a lowering of status, but it has always been in line with your temperament."

This concubine Hua is really mean when she talks.

Xie Jingya finally understood that Shi Xiangling's temperament was very much like her aunt, the noble concubine.

But Concubine Rou just smiled and didn't respond to her at all.

Concubine Hua did not expect to get a response from her, but raised her proud face, and without even looking at them, she took Shi Xiangling's hand and walked to the other side.

Concubine Rou and others had to bow to Concubine Hua.

The Concubine Rou didn't feel that Concubine Hua's words had made her suffer much. She still smiled and talked to her for a while before leaving.

Xie Jingya looked at her leaving figure and thought about her calm and steady temperament. It was not difficult to guess why she had always been favored by the emperor.

After a while, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Second Prince walked in together, and everyone looked at them.

Xie Jingyan's little heart was beating thumpingly at this moment.

Having seen the handsome and elegant Sixth Prince, and seeing His Highness the Crown Prince and the Second Prince again, although they all have different auras, they are all handsome. This made Xie Jingyan's mentality even more stable.

Among the princes, His Royal Highness is the eldest son born to the queen, so her status is extremely noble. The second prince's mother is the imperial concubine, so the power of her mother's family cannot be underestimated in the Zhongjing Hou Mansion.

The third prince's mother is Concubine Rou, but everyone in the capital knows that Concubine Rou is just a palace maid, so there is no chance that the third prince and the throne will be directly ignored by Xie Jingyan.

The mother of the fourth prince was only a concubine and did not receive much favor from the emperor. Her mother's family was not as good as those of other princes.

As for the sixth prince, she also loved him in her heart, but on the day of the race, he chose to save Xie Jingya instead of her, which made her always brood in her heart but could not forget him.

In her opinion, the most promising ones to get the throne are naturally His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, the Second Prince and the Sixth Prince. These three are her goals to attract their attention to her.

This was the second time Xie Jingya met the second prince. The first time she met her was when she was most humiliated and embarrassed.

In the previous life, Ning Guogong's palace supported the second prince, so the Tang family's extermination and treasure map were inseparable from the second prince.

Although he looks heroic, the second prince's face always has a feminine coldness to it.

Xie Jingyan on the left raised her head and lowered her head vaguely, not hiding her gaze from Xie Jingya.

Xie Jingyan was such a great beauty and dressed so charmingly that she naturally attracted the attention of the two princes.

When the Second Prince and His Highness the Crown Prince saw her, a hint of surprise flashed in their eyes, and most of all, the gentle smile that lowered their head and made the Crown Prince's heart become confused.

People began to come in one after another, and the women took their seats behind the men.

When the third prince from Vietnam came in, the emperor and the queen also arrived one after another.

There was a cool breeze in the evening, and the sunset reflected half of the sky in the capital. The semi-open-air banquet seemed more stylish at this moment.

After the emperor said a lot of words to welcome the three princes of Vietnam to visit the capital and thanked all the dear friends, he raised his glass and drank together.

When the banquet was about to begin, Xie Jingya and Tang Yaru took the initiative to sit in the corner.

Despite this, some eyes were always looking at her intentionally or unintentionally.

When Shi Xiangling discovered that Shangguan Zihan looked in the direction of Xie Jingya more often than he looked at her, the fire burning in her heart could no longer stop.

In a corner corresponding to Xie Jingya, as long as she raised her head, she could see Gu Haiyuan sitting quietly in a dark gown.

When she looked at him, her hand unconsciously touched the purse he gave her hanging around her waist, and she suddenly felt warm in her heart.

When his eyes met hers, her heart felt panicked and confused, as if something had been discovered by him, and she turned her head pretending to be unintentional.

Xie Jingyan sat in a position where it was easier for people to look at her. Although she was sitting, her eyes were never quiet.

In Xie Jingya's words, if Xie Jingyan's eyes were her body, then Xie Jingyan's body would have been lingering with those princes countless times.

For a while, she was silently flirting with His Highness the Crown Prince, and for a while, she was secretly eyeing the second prince. As for the sixth prince, maybe he didn't appreciate her amazing beauty, so he didn't look at her for a while. Although Xie Jingyan was in a mood, fortunately she was now

Unable to take care of it, he put the Sixth Prince aside for the time being and waited until the opportunity arose before taking action.

Seeing Xie Jingyan bumping around like a headless fly, Xie Jingya felt happy. This was much better than she expected.

Seeing Xie Jingyan's passionate and unrestrained thoughts, Xie Jingya felt that she had to fulfill her wishes. How could she dare to continue without letting her taste the benefits?

Thinking of this, she and Tang Yaru looked at each other and smiled.

After a song and dance, the emperor raised his glass again, but this time he stood up.

The emperor looked sad, expressing his heartbreak at such an unexpected incident in Tang's residence and his love for Tang Yaru's helplessness.

Xie Jingya couldn't guess whether the emperor believed it was an accident or...

After some inflammatory words, the emperor spilled the wine in the wine glass on the ground. This glass was for Mr. Tang, and other officials and women's family members naturally followed suit.

After the wine was poured, the emperor looked at everyone and said solemnly: "I have something to announce to everyone today."
