Chapter 35 The First Confrontation (2)

Lou Xiyue smiled and replied: "Princess has seen countless people, and you can't find a suitable one for Miss Yan, how can I find one? I'm new here, how can I be an introducer in the middle.

"Besides, I don't know Miss Yan's criteria for choosing a husband. I'm afraid the person selected at that time may not suit Miss Yan's wishes."

Princess An Ning said: "Of course I believe in your vision. Since he is the one you selected, it will not be too bad. Just look at our Xuanping King, you will know?"

She laughed as she spoke: "You say, don't you?"

The person with the most valuable status on the spot led the laugh, and the others dared not not laugh.So everyone started arguing, wanting to make fun of Lou Xiyue.

They chattered one after another, all talking around Lou Xiyue and Fu Guan.Lou Xiyue was asked several times, "How is Fu Guan treating you", "How are others", "Do you feel sorry for others" and so on.

As Lou Xiyue listened, she murmured in her heart: All day long, she inquired about this and that, and other people's affairs, what does it have to do with you?It's not always clear what's going on at home, but I'm taking care of other people's business.

"The prince is a modest gentleman, so he will naturally take care of others." Lou Xiyue imitated their tone:

"He has a good reputation, so can he still be a person who is not what he looks like? Or is it that someone got something about him, which proves that he is a vain person?"

This rhetorical question left the ladies speechless all of a sudden.

They looked at each other with embarrassing expressions on their faces. Only the lady who whispered loudly just now said:

"Then who can know whether Daxuan's virtuous king is in vain? Doesn't the concubine know that there are many people who can put on airs in this world?"

As soon as the words fell, Princess Anning scolded: "Miss Zhou, thanks to the fact that you are also a daughter who was educated by a serious family, why did you arrange to be the prince in front of so many people? If this matter gets out, your reputation will still be ruined." Do you want it?!"

Princess Anning withdrew her kindness just now, and her expression was as cold as ice: "I'm not backing down yet!"

Miss Zhou was scolded loudly by Princess Anning, and then she realized that she was so complacent that she even started gossiping about King Xuanping.

It's nothing to others, it's just that Fu Guanyin's settlement of the corruption and fraud case of the Pingjiang magistrate is now in its prime, so it's not easy to offend.

Miss Zhou felt guilty, and immediately sat back resentfully, regardless of other things.

Princess An Ning had just finished reprimanding, and now she smiled at everyone: "The time has come, and the guests have arrived, so let's start the banquet." Her face-changing speed was like a magic trick.

Lou Xiyue glanced at Princess Anning and Yan Ruyu indifferently, and then entered the table with Yunzhi as her attendant.

Because of her high status, Lou Xiyue was assigned a special seat, and she was the only guest on the side of the pavilion near the rockery.

In terms of location, it is relatively hidden.

It was also because of the concealment that Yunzhi, who had been afraid to vent her anger all the time, dared to whisper in a low voice: "Your Majesty, it was really scary just now, the princess is so majestic and imposing, I don't even dare to vent my anger." .”

Lou Xiyue said: "It's not aimed at you, you don't have to be afraid."

Yunzhi murmured like a mosquito: "Who wouldn't be afraid of that battle? That's Princess Anning!"

Lou Xiyue said a few words to comfort her, but her inner calculations did not stop.

For now, the situation is still under control, and everything is calm.But how long this peaceful appearance can last, Lou Xiyue is not sure.

Although Princess An Ning looked pleasant, the calmer she was, the stronger the storm brewing under the water surface.

Next, Yan Ruyu may have another trick, she must be vigilant at 12 points.

At this moment, Yan Ruyu leaned close to Princess Aning besides several coffee tables.The two had an intimate posture and were talking in a low voice.

"You've seen him too, how about it, what did you see?" Princess An Ning lowered her head and took a sip of tea, and at the same time glanced at Lou Xiyue who was not far away:

"You said that the reason why Fu Guan rejected you back then was because of the woman Ban Xiyu hidden in his heart. Now that she is in front of you, have you ever seen what is about her that Fu Guan can't forget?"

Yan Ruyu served her vegetables.Her tone was careless, and there was even a kind of contempt in it: "Except for her sharp tongue, she looks no different from an ordinary lady from an aristocratic family."

The same dignified but old-fashioned, the same rules but dull, except for the different faces, there is no difference from the other ladies at the Flower Moon Banquet.

Neither has a unique personality, just a pretty thing in a cage.

At most, "Ban Xiyu" has more talents that others don't have.

But, whether her talent is real or not, who knows?
"Princess, I want to give her a try, can I?" Yan Ruyu said: "I want to see what makes her different, so that the prince can treat her favorably."

Princess An Ning smiled and said, "I invited Ban Xiyu to the Flower Moon Banquet because of you. Naturally, you can do whatever you want."

Yan Ruyu smiled immediately: "Thank you princess! As expected, the princess treats me best!"

*
Because of the distance between them and the voices of ladies from aristocratic families talking and laughing with each other, the noise was very chaotic. Lou Xiyue wanted to listen to what Princess Anning and Yan Ruyu had said, but in the end she found nothing.

During the banquet, a prostitute came to the courtyard and played "Jiangyuequ". When Lou Xiyue was distracted to eat Yunzhi's peeled melon and fruit, the pipa just ended.

At the same time, she heard someone calling her not far ahead:

"I have long heard that Miss Ban's family in Huaijiang Mansion is proficient in literature and ink since she was a child. I wonder if I have the face to ask the princess to compose a poem so that everyone can appreciate it together?"

Lou Xiyue let out a long "Oh" in her heart, and said in her heart, this is to force her to show her hands and feet, to show off her talents.

Unfortunately, she won't.

Of course Xiyue doesn't understand Shi Shu Wen Mo Lou, but she is very good at wielding knives and guns.

"It's just a hearsay, but you can't take it seriously. The so-called 'proficient in writing' is nothing more than excessive praise from the outside world." Lou Xiyue smiled embarrassedly and said:
"I'm ashamed to say that I'm really not good at reciting poems and composing Fu. Everything is just misinformation from the outside world. Ladies, don't take it seriously."

Hearing this, Yan Ruyu smiled and said: "I think the concubine is too self-effacing. Since everyone outside is saying that, then you must have something special, my lady.

"You are trying to shirk it now, because you think that none of us here have that face, can you let my mother show you a painting?"

As she said that, she said "Oops" in surprise, and said, "Princess An Ning is here too. Even if the empress doesn't like us, she still has to look at Princess An Ning's face, right?"
