After the princess finished speaking, Li Mengyao's eyes showed satisfaction and she looked at Su Leyun with gloating.

She doesn't have enough face to ask the truth. How dare this concubine dare to disobey the princess and avoid answering?

Unexpectedly, Su Leyun didn't panic at all. He lowered his eyes and said with a smile: "This matter not only involves me, but also involves sister Wan'er. I wonder how sister wants me to answer?"

Su Leyun looked at Su Waner with a smile and asked her the question.

The smile on her lips suddenly disappeared, and Su Wan'er stood stiffly on the spot. Others didn't know it, but she knew in her heart that Su Leyun was not a concubine, but a serious legitimate daughter of the Hou family. On the contrary, her identity was shady...

Su Wan'er bit her lower lip lightly, not knowing what to do for a moment, so she had to look pitifully at Li Mengyao for help.

Li Mengyao could never see her looking aggrieved, so she paused briefly and immediately took over the words.

"Princess, maybe it is because Miss Su has been weak since childhood or for other reasons that it is not convenient for her to speak."

After Li Mengyao said respectfully, she turned around and glared at Su Leyun secretly. She was indeed a shady outsider who dared to use tricks in front of everyone. After returning to the Hou Mansion, she didn't know how to tease people.

She knew that her status was shameful and that there were taboos in her family, so she pushed the hot potato to Su Waner.

If Su Waner kept silent she would easily offend Princess Anle. If she spoke truthfully and exposed the family scandal, she would definitely be punished by her elders when she returned.

Princess Anle glanced at the three of them and smiled relievedly: "That's all, I'm just curious. If you don't want to say anything, just don't say anything."

Zhao Mingyan smiled along with her, glanced at Li Mengyao thoughtfully, motioned for Su Leyun to stand behind her, and led the ladies to the back hall for the banquet.

Li Mengyao pulled Su Waner behind and whispered in her ear: "Don't be afraid, let me vent your anger."

After saying that, she waved her personal maid to come over, whispered a few words and then let her go.

There was a trace of expectation in Su Wan'er's eyes, but she looked embarrassed on her face and tried to persuade her: "She is my sister after all. Sister Mengyao, let's forget it."

Li Mengyao nodded her forehead with hatred: "You are so good-tempered. You treat her as a sister, but she does not treat you as a sister! Even if you don't do it for yourself, you still have to support your aunt! Do you really want that The little bitch climbed on top of you!"

"Sister, forget it, sister!"

Su Waner followed her, but Li Mengyao insisted on going her own way.

Seeing her slender figure disappearing around the corner of the corridor, Su Wan'er raised a smile of success on her lips. She had known Li Mengyao for several years and knew her feelings well, so she deliberately let her recognize Su Leyun as her concubine.

Humph, killing someone with a borrowed knife, she has always used this trick well!

"Princess, please take a seat."

Zhao Mingyan gave up the main seat, but the princess refused and refused to take the initiative to take the first seat on the right.

"You are the birthday boy today, how can I steal your limelight?"

Princess Anle had a smile on her face, her face was dignified and solemn, and there was no trace of arrogance at all.

"She is different from her brother."

Su Leyun sat in the middle seat discreetly, raising his eyes to look at Princess Anle, and unconsciously thought of that angular and somewhat unruly face.

It's no wonder that King Jin protected his sister very closely. With such a gentle temperament, without the protection of his biological mother, how could he survive in the cannibal palace?

Before she could finish thinking, Li Mengyao and Su Waner came in one after another and sat down next to her.

"Sister, the person sitting above me is the legitimate daughter of the late queen. She has a distinguished status. You should be careful."

Su Waner acted coyly and lowered her voice to give her instructions.

Su Leyun lowered her eyes and said nothing. In her previous life, she also pretended to be a good sister in front of others, always thinking about her, but stabbed her in the back, made her make a fool of herself in front of everyone, and reduced her to the entire Beijing family. The butt of the joke.

Let's see what tricks she will use this time.

The maids filed in, the smell of wine mixed with the smell of food, and the steaming tables filled the table.

Zhao Mingyan raised her glass, stood up with a smile and said, "Thank you all sisters for coming to celebrate my birthday today. The elders are not here today, so please enjoy yourself."

After saying that, she raised her head and drank the wine in the glass. There was a heroic spirit in her clear eyebrows, and she was worthy of being born in a general.

The noble ladies gradually raised their glasses and drank to their full capacity.

The clanging music sounded, and the dancer in red dance clothes stepped on lotus steps and walked through the door lightly, flicking her sleeves as gracefully as an immortal.

The noble ladies stopped their cups and chopsticks, knelt down on the table and admired it carefully.

"Miss Su Er has never seen this in Jingzhou, has she? Do you know what kind of dance this is?"

Li Mengyao pursed her lips and smiled, looking at Su Leyun teasingly, her words were full of superiority.

Su Leyun's face was calm and he said slowly: "Jingzhou naturally doesn't have these."

Li Mengyao looked like I knew this and continued: "Miss Su Er, it seems that not only are you lacking in etiquette and rules, but you are also lacking in knowledge and knowledge."

Su Waner tugged on Li Mengyao's sleeves, not asking her to continue speaking, and persuaded her softly: "Sister Mengyao, my sister just came back from Jingzhou, and she hasn't had time to learn these things."

As soon as he said this, the ladies sitting on the left and right heard it and looked at Su Leyun with a bit of contempt.

Su Wan'er's words seemed to protect Su Leyun, but in fact they clearly exposed her shortcomings.

Growing up in Jingzhou, his knowledge was rudimentary...

"This is the branch-breaking dance, and Le Yun is not unaware of it."

In her new life, she naturally could no longer allow others to criticize her and belittle her, so she spoke the name of this dance slowly.

Unexpectedly, Li Mengyao would not let her go, and sneered: "Since Miss Su Er knows, why did she deliberately manipulate her just now and keep silent for so long?"

Su Leyun put down his wine glass, looked at the graceful dancers, and said slowly: "I was just thinking that they are the same women as us, but they are from different backgrounds. We can have fur around the stove and delicious food, but they can only stay in the cold winter." Wear gauze, hold back the chills and dance to please the nobles.”

As soon as the words fell, the faces of the several noble ladies showed unbearable expressions. They had been in high positions for a long time, and their daily activities were nothing more than playing music, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry, wine and tea. They had never experienced the suffering of ordinary people.

Singers and dancers exist to please their masters and nobles, and no one will understand them...

"They are pretentious. The value of their existence is to make people happy. Who made them come from a humble background? This is their fate."

Li Mengyao looked at Su Leyun with a half-smile, indicating that the dancing girl was from a humble background, and the concubine was also from a humble background, so she should accept her fate.

Su Leyun raised his eyes, looked at Li Mengyao intently, and said word by word: "Even if they are of low origin, they were born to their parents, and they are no different from us."

The argument between the two had already reached the leader. Zhao Mingyan frowned and looked at Li Mengyao, puzzled. The girl from Zhenguo's family had always been steady. Although she had a stronger temper, she was not so unreasonable and aggressive.

The princess naturally heard it, her beautiful eyebrows were locked together, and her eyes looking at the dancer showed a bit of unbearability.

Zhao Mingyan did the same. She raised her hand to stop the music, dispersed the rewards, and let all the actors go down.

"Now that the actors have dispersed, we must have some fun. Bring me my guqin!"

Li Mengyao glanced at Su Leyun as if to demonstrate, stood up and knelt down in the middle of the back hall.
