Chapter 9
Meng Liangchen looked at the clothes and jewelry on the tray in the servant girl's hand, and raised his eyebrows.

It's a lot of money.

Meng Liangchen glanced at Meng Liangjing, his thoughts changed, and he smiled.

"Thank you so much, Auntie."

Qin Shi and Meng Liangjing looked happy, knowing that Meng Liangchen meant to go.

"Then let's go back first. You go to the front hall earlier during lunch. The master didn't see you when he came back last night. He has been talking about you for a long time."

The smile on Qin's face remained unchanged, and she left with Meng Liangjing after speaking.

Shihong took the tray they sent and stood beside Meng Liangchen.

"Miss, how do we deal with this?"

Meng Liangchen stood up and stretched out his fingers to fiddle with the things in the tray.

The texture and color of the clothes are all high-quality, but they are not distinctive, and the jewelry is good, all of which are good things.

It's a free gift, don't want it for nothing, and she doesn't plan to show any limelight at the banquet, these are enough.

"Auntie has a good intention, so naturally she accepts it and makes good use of it."

Xiao Shicui frowned: "Miss, the two of them don't look like good people!"

Meng Liangchen chuckled: "Xiao Shicui, your mouth is too sharp, I'll call you Xiao Shidao."

Xiao Shicui didn't understand what the knife meant, but she also knew that Meng Liangchen was making fun of herself, and pouted her mouth, which was very cute.

Meng Liangchen ate lunch in his own room. After packing up in the afternoon, he went to visit her father first. Her father told her not to be afraid of troubles in the palace. If someone provokes her, she must call back!
Meng Liangchen felt that his father's worries were superfluous, how many people in the palace would dare to cause trouble?
Coming out from her father, Meng Liangchen found that Meng Liangjing had been waiting in front of the carriage for an unknown amount of time. This cheap younger sister had obviously been well-groomed, with powder on her face, lip balm, pink face and peach blossoms on her hair. A peach blossom walks, and it looks delicate and smart when paired with a peach pink spring dress.

Seeing Meng Liangchen approaching, Meng Liangjing immediately wore a cute smile on his face.

"Sister, let's go!"

Did she make up her mind to do something at the palace banquet today?
Standing on the steps, Meng Liangchen was wearing a goose-yellow gold silk embroidered spring dress, with a mutton fat jade bracelet on his hand, a simple jade hairpin of the same color on his head, and matching earrings. What stands out, but it is generous and decent, not eye-catching.

The two got into the carriage one by one, Meng Liangchen sat in the front seat, and Meng Liangjing sat on her right by the window.

"Sister, have I done something wrong recently?"

Meng Liangjing brought up the question that didn't get an answer yesterday.

"No, you've done a good job." Meng Liangchen blinked at her, and she admired her scheming.

Meng Liangjing lowered his head slightly, feeling aggrieved: "Really? But I think my sister seems to treat me a little differently recently."

Meng Liangchen thought for a while and asked, "What do you mean, something to eat, drink and play with? I never gave it to you before."

Meng Liangjing shook his head: "I don't care about these things. What I care about is my sister's attitude towards me. She is not as close as before."

Meng Liangchen asked, "Can you give me an example?"

Meng Liangjing bit his lip, as if it was hard to say: "My sister treats me as an outsider. She used to take me with her wherever she went, but now she doesn't. Even for troublesome things like cleaning up the account books, my sister would rather be tired than Let me help."

Oh~~ It turned out that she was still thinking about her precious money, so that would not work.

"She's thinking about your secret recipe." The voice next to her ear reminded her, the voice was a little cold.

Meng Liangchen changed his mind, and said: "It's not that I don't want to miss you. I was really busy a while ago, and those accounts are too messy. I'm afraid you won't be able to get them. Besides, I've always been a troublesome aunt. I'm afraid it's you. I have helped a lot, and now it is in my hands, so I am sorry to bother you."

Meng Liangchen sighed as he spoke, and continued: "And I have some strengths in this point. I can't compare to you in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. I'm afraid my father will say me."

Meng Liangjing suppressed the contempt in his eyes, and when he looked up, he already put on a anxious look.

"Who said that elder sister has no strengths other than this, elder sister is good-looking, and she is also a daughter-in-law. There are few people in the whole capital who can compare with elder sister."

"Sister really thinks so?" Meng Liangchen was moved.

Hehe~~ Praising and killing is the usual style of this girl, it's no wonder she fell for it!
The two "talked very happily" along the way, until they reached the gate of the palace, and they needed to get out of the car and walk.

When Meng Liangchen got out of the car, there were already many officials and women who were invited to the banquet, all of them were well-dressed, and Meng Liangchen felt pleasing to the eye.

It's like the feeling when the ancient emperors chose their concubines.

Meng Liangchen's appearance is also one of the best in the entire capital. Even if he is dressed simply, his face is still a bright spot among these Yingying Yanyans, the one that can be noticed at a glance.

Meng Liangchen brought Meng Liangjing and Shihong Shilan to the hall where the birthday banquet was held, and was taken to the designated place by the maid to sit down. There were already many people in the hall, and the queen hadn't come yet. Quiet, acquaintances gathered together to whisper to each other, and the wives of the ranks greeted each other.

Only at Meng Liangchen's table, no one came to greet them, it seemed a little quiet.

Before Meng Liangchen transmigrated, the reason why the original owner didn't make good friends was because Meng Liangjing always instilled some unhealthy information in her ears. The original owner had soft ears and trusted Meng Liangjing, which made her cut off the chance to make good friends with the outside world.

As for Meng Liangjing, even if there are sisters whom he has made friends with, they are probably concubine daughters of some officials' houses, and they are not qualified to attend such a standard banquet as the queen's birthday banquet.

When the dinner was approaching, the queen's holy car fell from the door, and the hall fell silent for a moment. Following the queen's footsteps into the hall, everyone in the hall knelt down and saluted, and the sound resounded throughout the hall.

The queen walked up to the hall slowly, rich and dignified, and sat down on the upper seat without courtesy.

"Today is the birthday of the palace, and I invite all the ladies to come to celebrate with you. You don't have to be cautious, just feel as natural as you are at home."

The queen's voice was pleasant, with a touch of gentleness in her majesty. Meng Liangchen sat in the second row and looked up. He felt that the queen's age looked like 24 or 30 years old, and it was impossible to tell that she was in her [-]s.

The birthday banquet officially started with the announcement by the mother around the queen. The maids lined up to deliver fruit snacks and tea to the tables in the hall. The meals were arranged in the back. There were beautiful dancers dancing in the center of the hall. pleasing to the eye.

Meng Liangchen drank too much the day before yesterday, so she didn't dare to drink alcohol anymore, and in her concept, if she could not drink alcohol on a big occasion, she would not drink alcohol when the supplier invited her to dinner.

 Maybe you have to pull out two handsome guys for a stroll. I wonder if there is one that suits your appetite?
