Chapter 286 Is It Her?

This kind of birthday banquet at the level of the Duke's Mansion is mostly attended by powerful families.

If the grade is not enough, you don't even have the qualifications to visit the door.

Of course, if you are lucky enough to go there and get to know one or two noble people, although it is a bit exaggerated to make progress, it will indeed save you a lot of travel.

And a grassroots person like Lu Jingyuan is very lucky to be able to participate in such a banquet.

Xia Xiaoqiao was in the army before, although she didn't care about getting promoted, she knew something about it.

"Well, the dress is nice and fits well."

After finishing speaking, he frowned again, "That's it—"

"what happened?"

Lu Jingyuan raised his arm and looked at himself, "But what's wrong?"

"There's nothing wrong with it, just, it's so handsome——"

Xia Xiaoqiao directly hugged his waist, put her face on his chest, and whispered: "You are so handsome, what if other women fall in love with you?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Jingyuan's eyes were filled with smiles.

"It's not gone yet, are you starting to worry?"

After finishing speaking, he lowered his arms and hugged the person in his arms, "Don't worry, we are male guests, separated from the female relatives, we can't see it, so I'll just show you alone, okay?"

Xia Xiaoqiao was happy when she heard that, she raised her head and looked at him, "Really?"

"Of course, such banquet rules are everywhere."

Lu Jingyuan stretched out his slender fingers, flicked her forehead with his backhand, and said, "On the contrary, it's you, Aqiao, the royal family members will come to congratulate you at the banquet in Duke An's mansion, you must be careful to know?"

Compared to himself, Lu Jingyuan was more worried about Xia Xiaoqiao.

With her temperament, if she meets those savage daughters, she will inevitably suffer a disadvantage in terms of status.

He was not only worried that Xia Xiaoqiao would be wronged, but also worried that she would not be able to help herself and cause a catastrophe.

It's one thing to affect his official career, and more importantly, he is only a Jieyuan now, and he is afraid that he won't be able to protect her.

If possible, he would rather Xia Xiaoqiao not attend such a banquet.

But at the same time, he also knew that since Xia Xiaoqiao had agreed to the princess, she would not break her word.

Eh, headache! ! !

He had to figure out how to take a shortcut.

This feeling of not being in control is very bad.

"Okay, I get it, don't worry about me."

Xia Xiaoqiao knew what he was thinking, so she hugged him even tighter.

"With Lingshan here, she will protect me."

When Zhu Lingshan was mentioned, Lu Jingyuan's expression became even worse.

If it weren't for her, my own wife wouldn't need to follow her to take risks.

That's right, it is an honor for others to attend a banquet, but for Lu Jingyuan, Xia Xiaoqiao's participation in such a banquet is simply a risk.

He never asked Xia Xiaoqiao to make acquaintances for him, to curry favor with high-ranking officials and wives, he only wanted Xia Xiaoqiao to live in peace and happiness.

"Okay, I will pay attention, don't worry."

Xia Xiaoqiao hurriedly packed the tickets, and then urged: "It's getting late, you hurry up and set off with Xiao Luo and the others, go quickly."

Lu Jingyuan was helpless, and hugged him tightly in his arms again.

Then he placed another kiss on her lips.

"Well, then I'm leaving, and I have a gift for you when I come back."

"Really? Then I'll wait for you."

Lu Jingyuan nodded with a smile in his eyes.

It wasn't until he left the courtyard, until Xia Xiaoqiao was no longer in sight, that Lu Jingyuan looked away.

"Zhang Yuan, I asked you to prepare, how is it?"

Zhang Yuan said happily: "Don't worry, Mr. Da Lang, everything is ready, and you will definitely not be delayed."

"Well, that's good."

Thinking of what he was about to do, Lu Jingyuan's smile never stopped.

After Lu Jingyuan left, Nan Shuang hurriedly urged her to change her clothes.

"Mistress, these are the clothes sent by the master of Lingshan County. They are all sewn by the best embroidery lady in the capital. I heard that it usually takes a long time for people to queue up to get one."

Xia Xiaoqiao took a look, and finally chose an unremarkable one.

"Just it."

"what?"

Nan Shuang was a little puzzled, "Miss, isn't this one too plain?"

Such an important banquet, with so many people going, naturally had to wear the best and most beautiful clothes, otherwise wouldn't it be compared to others?

And Xia Xiaoqiao saw her thoughts as soon as she opened her eyes, so she opened her mouth and said, "It's better to be plain, so as not to attract attention."

With their identities, it is easy to cause trouble if they dress too well. In Xia Xiaoqiao's view, the more ordinary the better, it is best that no one can notice her.

such a pity--

Even if she is dressed in plain clothes, she can't stand to have a face that is all over the country, can't she?

Besides, with Princess Lingshan on such a walking jewelry stand, it's hard not to attract attention.

Anguo Gongfu
Today is the old lady's birthday, there is an endless stream of people coming to congratulate her, and there is even a lot of traffic in front of the door.

The servants of the Duke's Mansion were busy walking around, but it was an old-fashioned Duke's Mansion after all, even so, the servants were still in order.

"Aunt Zhou?"

Princess Lingshan enthusiastically aroused people as soon as she arrived.

As the head wife of the Duke's Mansion, Mrs. Zhou is naturally in charge of receiving female guests.

"So it's Lingshan! I haven't seen you for a long time, and I've grown taller again, and she's become a big girl."

Mrs. Zhou held her hand with kindness in her eyes, and Princess Lingshan was also very happy, "Really? Has it really grown taller? Aunt Zhou said that if Lingshan grows taller, she will be rewarded Yes, you can't lie to me."

"You little clever bastard."

The two chatted lively.

"By the way, Aunt Zhou will introduce someone to you."

After speaking, she took Xia Xiaoqiao's hand and said: "Aunt Zhou, this is sister Xia, her husband's family name is Lu, her husband is very powerful, she is Xie Yuan from our Lingzhou Prefecture, and he is currently studying in the Imperial College."

After the introduction, he whispered a few words in her ear.

And Mrs. Zhou's eyes changed when she heard the words, "Is this really true?"

"nature."

Princess Lingshan had a positive expression on her face, Madam Zhou's gaze on Xia Xiaoqiao changed when she saw this.

"Miss Xia?"

"Lu Xia, I have met Mrs. Zhou."

Mrs. Zhou hurriedly helped him up, and said with a smile: "You don't need to be so polite, since you are on good terms with Lingshan, you are a distinguished guest of Duke Anguo's mansion, so you don't have to be cautious when you come here."

After finishing speaking, he confessed: "Lingshan, I will be busy today, and Miss Xia will be taken care of by you, don't let her be wronged."

"Aunt Zhou, don't worry, I'm watching who dares to be wronged by her."

After speaking, he led Xia Xiaoqiao and left.

When the people around saw it, they all looked curious.

"Hey, who is that person next to Princess Lingshan?"

"Yeah, I haven't seen it!!!"

"It does have a good face."

"That's not it, isn't this too beautiful? It's not much better than the daughter of the chief assistant's family, is it?"

"It's more than that. I'm afraid that even the princess of Anqing Palace will be inferior by three points."

"Hey, have you seen the dress she's wearing? I'm afraid it's not the latest style from Hua Xiangrong Embroidery Room?"

"Oh my god, what is her background? Not everyone can buy this dress from Huaxiang Rongxiufang. My aunt ordered me a month in advance."

"That's right, I heard that this joke about Su Jin Fei Hua is their family's signature."

Everyone, you and I kept guessing.

Not far away by the rockery, a woman almost tore her handkerchief.

"is her?"

"She came so soon?"

"You even attended the birthday banquet at Duke An's Mansion?"
