Chapter 97 Banquet

Seeing her dressing, she was about to be a noble girl who wanted to talk to her. Zheng Yueyao nodded with no interest and was about to leave her, but suddenly realized: Shu Ningyou?

...Isn't this the illegitimate sister Shu Yao?

She suddenly stopped and looked down at Shu Ningyou.

In the circle of noble girls, Shu Ningyou is an embarrassing existence.

Princess Yongning, Princess Huaxi and her daughter were all favored, and even the prince-in-law Shu Jing also benefited from it and was named Marquis of Qinyang. But in addition to Princess Huaxi, Marquis of Qinyang also had a pair of sons and daughters.

So what if you are favored by the emperor and the empress dowager? The relationship with your closest relatives in blood is a mess. If it is spread, it will still be laughed at.

Zheng Yueyao's mood suddenly improved a little. When she thought of Shu Yao, she also had a little mercy in her eyes.

The reason why the emperor and the empress dowager were so kind to her was to compensate her.

She said lightly: "Miss Shu."

"Last time I saw you, I was at the chrysanthemum-appreciation banquet in the Marquis's mansion. You got married to the prince so soon."

Shu Ningyou smiled innocently, "On the night of the wedding banquet, my daughter saw a grand firework. Was it the prince set for you?"

The prince’s marriage to a concubine is a major event for the whole country, and fireworks must be set off. But she deliberately confused the concept, and Zheng Yueyao did not correct her. She looked at Shu Ningyou curiously, waiting for her next sentence.

The little foul girl appeared rashly in front of her and said a few words inconsistently, just to speak with her?

Whether it should be said or not, Shu Yao, a polite girl, is quite brave.

"Your Highness the Crown Prince is really a real gentleman," Shu Ning sighed, revealing a bit of longing in his eyes. "When I was young, I envied the princess' sister for having a cousin like the prince. I still remember that the princess' birthday a few years ago, and the prince ordered people to set off such a fireworks for her..."

The expression on Zheng Yueyao's face disappeared.

This concubine stopped her to tell her this?

Zheng Yueyao doesn't want to hear Shu Yao's deep love between her and the prince. No one knows better what the prince has about Shu Yao than Zheng Yueyao.

Shu Ningyou seemed to see her displeasure, and her tone became a little more panicked: "Sorry, my daughter should not ask the prince and the princess sister in front of you. But recently my father also intends to see her husband for the princess sister. My daughter is moved and she has a speech in front of you..."

Falling at your husband?

Zheng Yueyao was stunned at first, and her thoughts suddenly became clear.

Yes, Shu Yao has already been in the middle of her hair. In a blink of an eye, it is another new year, and she has grown up one year. The ordinary noble daughter has already decided to marry her at her age and is ready to get married. However, the marriage between Shu Yao and Xie Yanzhou has been ruined, and Emperor Yong did not mention this matter again.

Wouldn’t it be possible to dispel the prince’s idea of ​​her by marrying Shu Yao out?

It is best to marry Shu Yao outside the capital and never come back in your life.

...

"Empress, I have sent someone to inquire that the Queen of Qin Yang has been very close to the Queen of Changping recently. The Queen of Changping visited the Queen of Qin Yang's mansion many times."

In the East Palace, a palace maid whispered to Zheng Yueyao. Zheng Yueyao held the hand warmer, looking unclear, "I know, go out."

The palace maid said in a regular manner.

Zhao Wenrui, the son of Changping Hou...

In order to make friends with other surnames, Zheng Yueyao began to recite the list of princes and nobles when she was very young, and naturally she had heard of the name of Changping Hou.

Most of the kings and princes who were granted the title of blood were born with golden spoons in their hands, enjoying the grace of the emperor for generations, and were also a playboy with no prospects throughout their lives.

Zheng Yueyao smiled slowly.

...

"Invite this princess to the banquet?"

After listening to the message from the palace servant, Shu Yao held Xuetuan and repeated the sentence.

The palace servant said respectfully: "This is an invitation given to you by the Crown Princess, please check it out."

"I got it," Shu Yao said, "you go back."

The palace servant quickly left the princess's mansion.

The handwriting on the invitation is beautiful and beautiful, with a faint fragrance, and it looks like it is written by Zheng Yueyao.

It is not surprising that she will hold a banquet at this time. Zheng Yueyao has just married into the Eastern Palace, and she needs to establish herself in the circle of noble women with a new identity.

Then, as a member of the royal family, she had to go.

Shu Yao actually didn't want to see this cousin's wife.

Perhaps it was a natural intuition that she felt uncomfortable when she saw Zheng Yueyao at the first sight. Especially when she met in Yanshou Palace that day, Shu Yao lowered her head and teased the cat, and always felt that the hot gaze fell on her as if she was looking at her.

Shu Yao closed the cloak on her body and couldn't help but sneeze again.

"Prince, don't blow the air outside, just go into the house first," said Pine Needle, "This winter seems to be colder than in previous years."

Shu Yao also thinks so.

Although she was afraid of the cold, she wrapped herself tightly as soon as the weather changed. Who knew that she still sneezed frequently recently, and she didn't know whether she was getting cold due to the blowing wind or because she moved out of the palace, her uncle and grandmother were talking about her.

The Crown Princess Zheng Yueyao held a banquet in the East Palace, and many princes and nobles received invitations from her. Many nobles came from their fiefdoms and would not return to their fiefdoms after the New Year, so the banquet seemed particularly lively.

After a snow last night, the temperature in the capital dropped again. Shu Yao put on a newly made cloak, and the hem of the clothes was embroidered with birds. The colors were bright and the craftsmanship was exquisite. As people walked, the patterns of birds on the cloak seemed to come alive.

Like Princess Jiayi, she did not have a good time with the noble girls led by Zheng Yueyao. This banquet seemed boring to her. In addition, today's protagonist is Zheng Yueyao, Shu Yao thought of showing off her face in the East Palace, sitting for a while before leaving.

She didn't know why last night, but she didn't sleep well for half a night. She didn't have a strange dream, but her heart was beating and she always felt a little uneasy. She was particularly sleepy when she left the mansion. She came all the way over and almost fell asleep in the carriage, but Li Mingji called her up.

Shu Yao yawned in a depressed manner, supported her chin with one hand, and was about to fall asleep again.

"Princess."

Hearing the low call in his ears, Shu Yao raised her eyes and had a handful of peeled pine nuts stuffed in her hand. Li Mingji smiled at her.

She is not a child, why does Li Mingji always use such snacks to coax her... How did he know that she wants to eat pine nuts?

When Shu Yao sat down, she stared at the fruit plate, thinking about it, but she thought it was troublesome to peel pine nuts and would make her hands dirty, so she just took a few glances and continued to be the elegant and reserved princess.

Li Mingji started peeling oranges again.

This man's hands were so beautiful, but he could do it so elegantly by peeling an orange. Seeing the young man's slender and cold white hands stained with orange juice, Shu Yao couldn't help but lick the corners of his lips.

Someone wanted to disturb such a peaceful scene. Zhao Wenrui walked towards him and smiled and called out, "Sister Princess."
