The cannon fodder stepmother dressed as the villain Zai Zai

But the one who is most well-dressed is undoubtedly Shen Rulan.

Her appearance and appearance make her one of the best among this group of ladies.

After being carefully dressed up, she looked even more charming.

No matter who comes here, they should praise it. It is no exaggeration to say that it will captivate the country and the city.

After these days of getting to know each other, the relationship between Xu Yaqin and Zhu Huixin gradually got closer.

Even when attending dinner parties, the two of them came together and sat next to each other so that they could communicate quietly.

After all, this is a formal occasion, and you cannot lose your manners in front of the Marquis.

Zhu Huixin also dressed up carefully.

She has a gentle personality like Xiaojiabiyu.

In fact, I have a good foundation, but I don’t like to dress up on weekdays.

Now dressed up like this, she has a unique style, which made all the other ladies slightly amazed.

"Third Madam, look at how Madam Zhu is dressed up in such a fancy way. Isn't it obvious that she wants to steal your limelight?"

"This girl really doesn't know where the sky is and she doesn't understand her own status. Doesn't she know what her family's background is in the court?"

"I just want to compete with you, the Third Lady, but I think she's still far from it."

"When it comes to beauty, Third Madam, you are superior in skills and beauty. Madam Zhu's appearance is not enough in front of you, Third Madam."

The meddlesome ladies fanned the flames in Shen Rulan's ears.

But Shen Rulan just glanced at Zhu Huixin lightly.

In her opinion, there was no need to take this little girl to heart with no money, no power and no background.

The one that Shen Rulan could really take seriously was Xu Yaqin.

She originally thought that Mrs. Xu would not miss such a good opportunity, and she would definitely have a good life.

But after sitting down, she realized that Mrs. Xu's face looked as usual.

The clothes he wore were also very simple, just like usual.

Shen Rulan frowned slightly, wondering what medicine Mrs. Xu was selling in her gourd? What kind of trick is this?
With her thoughts like this, how could she know that Xu Yaqin didn't think about these messy things at all.

In her opinion, the dinner party is not just about everyone getting together to have a meal, there is no need to take care of yourself so carefully.

Moreover, Xu Yaqin always likes to wear light makeup, and does not like the kind of thick rouge and gouache.

She thinks that kind of aesthetic is purely sick.

What's more, it's just meeting Marquis Qingdu, is there any need to be so excited?

How many times had she met Sheng Lixuan? The Marquis already knew what he was like, so there was no need to deliberately deal with it.

Normally, Shen Rulan wouldn't be able to get rid of the sand in her eyes.

He would definitely take the opportunity to laugh at Zhu Huixin.

But now, seeing that Mrs. Zhu and Mrs. Xu were so close, she was afraid that her words would be inappropriate.

This angered Mrs. Xu.

Not to mention the benefits, but it will cause a lot of criticism.

Especially on such an important occasion as today's dinner.

Of course, you have to concentrate on the Marquis.

How could that be done if the Marquis saw her acting like a chicken here and became jealous?

Shen Rulan smiled thoughtfully and criticized the two mischievous concubines:
"Madam, what are you saying? We are all good sisters in the Hou family. There is no way anyone is more beautiful than anyone else."

"Mrs. Zhu dresses up like this because she is thinking about the Marquis. As the concubines of the Marquis's Mansion in Qingdu, we should show our best side and make it pleasing to the Marquis."

After hearing this, the two ladies couldn't help but change their expressions, and looked at each other, somewhat puzzled.

Why did the third lady change her temper today and suddenly become so well-behaved and sensible?
Others don't know her little thoughts, but Xu Yaqin can see it clearly, otherwise she would have watched so many palace fight dramas in the past.

About this Shen Rulan. Xu Yaqin remembers her description in the original novel.

According to the plot in the novel, Mrs. Xu was tricked to death by Liu Manyan.

Liu Manwan had been sleeping with the wife of the mistress of the Marquis of Qingdu Mansion for a short time.

Later, the Dongchuang Incident happened, and Sheng Lixuan found out and was driven out of the Hou Mansion.

Shen Rulan succeeded in ascending to the throne and became the mistress and wife of the Qingdu Marquis Mansion, and her subsequent ending was considered complete.

Overall, this person's ending was not bad.

But Shen Rulan is a master of scheming.

When dealing with people and things, try your best to stick to whatever is beneficial to you.

And he does things in a relaxed and relaxed manner without going overboard at all.

He is the kind of character who is all-round and considerate of everyone.

But often people with such deep thoughts are the more terrifying they are.

Xu Yaqin's impression of Mrs. Shen was average, neither good nor bad.

But now that I want to get along with Mrs. Shen in the Marquis's residence, I no longer care about such trivial matters, and pretend that I didn't hear it.

All the ladies sat quietly for a while.

Sheng Lixuan changed into casual clothes, slowly appeared, and sat on the main seat in the middle.

As soon as he appeared on the scene, all the ladies immediately looked at him.

They all looked at Sheng Lixuan intently.

Because although Sheng Lixuan was dressed in casual clothes, it was difficult to conceal his innate melancholy temperament.

Moreover, facing the cold moonlight, Sheng Lixuan's face was reflected in a more three-dimensional manner.

His eyes were cold and melancholy, as bright as the stars.

A heroic spirit emanated from between his brows.

Just the right facial features and perfect proportions, all appear on the same person's face

And he walked slowly step by step, revealing his profile.

There is a different kind of beauty.

Although these ladies were born into official families, they have also come into contact with many princes, nobles and children of aristocratic families.

But I have always heard of a handsome man like Sheng Lixuan, who is both civilized and military, with a cool temperament. Today is the first time I have seen him in person.

For a time, many ladies' faces were slightly red and they were in a state of infatuation.

I've probably even thought of the material for my dreams at night.

Shen Rulan straightened her expression even more.

She worked hard to create an eye-catching pose.

It can better highlight her body curves, and she wants to attract Sheng Lixuan's attention in this way.

Xu Yaqin dismissed this behavior.

Fortunately, in ancient times, if in modern times, then Shen Rulan's operation can be regarded as a proper green tea.

Sheng Lixuan glanced at the audience, glanced at everyone, then opened his lips, raised his head slightly, and confided in his heart:
"All the ladies are here. It has been so long since I returned to the Marquis' Mansion and I haven't had a proper meeting with all the ladies. Now I can take advantage of this banquet to get to know each other clearly."

"Madams, you don't have to be formal. Now that you have entered my Qingdu Marquis Mansion, you will treat this place as your home. As long as you don't do anything out of the ordinary, I will naturally treat you well."

After Sheng Lixuan finished speaking, he raised his arm and raised the wine glass, his eyes glowing, and said to everyone:
"Ladies, let's have a drink together."

All the ladies raised their hands and raised their glasses.

But at this time, Shen Rulan jumped out and wanted to steal the spotlight.
