happy match

There were only three seats for the luncheon, which were placed in the dining room.

The huge dining room was separated by a screen, and the crown prince and Gu Xinian sat alone.The two seats on the side of the female relatives are also particular.With Mo Shi present, Shen Qiuyu is naturally not qualified to sit on the table, and can only sit beside Mo Shi.Higher-status ladies, such as Wang and Ma, all sat at the same seat.

Ye Qinglan and Gu Xiyu sat at the other seat, and Feng Shi, who was provocative before, was also seated at the same seat.

Feng Shi quickly recovered from the blow just now, and talked to the women at the same table with a smile, intentionally or unintentionally, ignoring Ye Qinglan and Gu Xiyu.Unexpectedly, such a move was exactly what they wanted.

Gu Xiyu whispered to Ye Qinglan: "Where did you get such a fine jade?"

Ye Qinglan laughed softly: "Grandmother gave it to me." Fortunately, Mrs. Jiang donated generously on the spur of the moment, otherwise today's test would be really difficult...

Gu Xiyu thought for a while and said: "I always feel that something will happen today, so please be careful."

Ye Qinglan smiled and nodded.Shen Qiuyu's heart to find fault was obvious, even the innocent Gu Xiyu could see it, and presumably all the ladies present were also aware of it.However, there is a limit to what Shen Qiuyu can do in front of everyone, the most she can do is secretly ridicule a few words, attack her weakness, and make her embarrassing and embarrassing.

The birthday gift is the first hurdle, what will be the second hurdle?

The answer will be revealed soon!

After the luncheon was over, Shen Qiuyu said with a smile: "I would like to invite you all to sit in the garden for a while. I have someone prepare fresh fruit refreshments, and the singers and dancers in the mansion will sing and dance to add to the fun." Such entertainment.Obviously, it is more than a step higher than asking an opera troupe to sing.

Everyone readily agreed.

Ye Qinglan smiled and said nothing, and followed behind everyone leisurely.She thought, she had already guessed what Shen Qiuyu was going to do next...

Shen Qiuyu actually ordered someone to arrange the location near the lotus pond.

There is enough room for six or seven people in the exquisite gazebo, and a few tables and chairs are placed outside the gazebo, and the tables are filled with tea, snacks and fresh fruits.A thick white blanket is laid on the open space outside the lotus pond, which is reserved for singing and dancing performances, similar to a stage.However, this stage is too extravagant.Basically, you have to throw it away after using it once and can't use it a second time.

Ye Qinglan wisely chose the seat farthest from the gazebo and sat down, Gu Xiyu followed suit.Sitting with Ye Qinglan.Naturally, they distanced themselves from those aristocratic women, and the two chatted and laughed in low voices, enjoying themselves, forming a small world of their own.

The crown prince and Gu Xinian came side by side. The crown prince entered the gazebo and sat down in the best position.However, Gu Xinian did not follow into the gazebo, instead walked to Gu Xiyu and Ye Qinglan's side.Under the curious eyes of everyone, he sat down calmly.

Shen Qiuyu smiled, and couldn't help pursing the corners of her lips.

……

The prince coughed and laughed loudly: "Cousin, let's sit in the gazebo! It's better to watch the singing and dancing here."

Gu Xinian smiled faintly: "Thank you for your kindness, Your Highness, I can just sit here with Yu'er and Cousin Lan."

He said it so frankly.The prince couldn't say anything more, so he stopped talking with a smile.Shen Qiuyu could hear someone laughing softly from the side: "Gu Shilang is really sympathetic to the fragrance and cherishes the jade. That Miss Ye Shi is really lucky."

Shen Qiuyu's smile remained unabated, but her hand that was tucked into her sleeve was tightly clenched into a fist, and her long nails dug deeply into her palm, causing waves of tingling pain.But this kind of stinging pain was far inferior to the sharp pain in her heart that almost drowned her.

She didn't want to believe that the boy who had vowed to love her forever had actually fallen in love with another woman.

No, it must not be like this!The person he likes is obviously himself.Such a gesture in front of everyone is just acting.The purpose is to let her have a taste of this heartache.It must be so!

Shen Qiuyu took a deep breath, collected herself, and showed an elegant and gentle smile: "Your Highness, the singing and dancing can begin now! I can't wait to see the singing and dancing that His Highness specially ordered them to perform for my concubine!" The voice was not high, Just so that everyone present could hear it.

Mo Shi secretly sneered.

Relying on that face and some tricks to confuse men, Shen Qiuyu nearly lost the prince's mind.It was just an ordinary birthday, not to mention a birthday banquet was specially held for her, and the singers and dancers in the mansion were specially ordered to rehearse singing and dancing in advance.

But so what?

No matter how beautiful the skin is, there will be a day when the beauty will fade.No matter how much the prince dotes on Shen Qiuyu, doesn't the other beauties never refuse to come, one by one to accept into the mansion?Let Shen Qiuyu be proud for now, there will always be a day in the future when she won't be able to cry...

The sound of silk and bamboo music sounded, and two rows of dancers in dance clothes came on the stage lightly.Following the rhythm of the silk and bamboo sound, another singer in a crimson dress came on stage, her red lips parted slightly, and her melodious singing voice was heard by everyone.

Appreciating singing and dancing at such a close distance is indeed a rare and fresh experience.Ye Qinglan concentrated on appreciating it.Gu, who was left out in the cold, felt unhappy, and glanced at her lightly.

Ye Qinglan didn't respond at all, and even started a low-pitched discussion with Gu Xiyu in high spirits.

Gu Xinian coughed again.

Ye Qinglan finally noticed this time, and looked over with concern: "What's wrong with Cousin Gu? Did you catch a cold?"

Gu Xinian glanced at her with a half-smile: "Cousin Lan really has sharp eyes." This girl was pretending to provoke him again.

Ye Qinglan couldn't help laughing secretly, but her face was serious: "Since Cousin Gu is not feeling well, then go and tell His Highness the Crown Prince and take your leave first."

But Gu Xinian smiled leisurely: "Let's forget it! I'm worried that if I really leave, someone will suffer."

Ye Qinglan frowned delicately, and her words were full of confidence: "That's not true. You'd better worry about that person who wants to find fault with others. Don't make provocations fail, but you will be angry and hurt yourself!"

Gu Xinian laughed dumbfounded, and relaxed naturally.

Gu Xiyu thought about it seriously, and then humbly asked for advice: "Brother, do you count as flirting with Cousin Lan?"

Gu Xinian: "..."

Ye Qinglan bit her lip, her eyes were full of uncontrollable smiles.

Fortunately, the singing, dancing, silk and bamboo sounded together, and they deliberately lowered their voices when they spoke.Even the people sitting at the next table couldn't hear what they were saying, let alone the people in the gazebo.

But the few people in the gazebo were not focused on singing and dancing, but were paying attention to the actions of the three of them.

Mo said to the prince with a smile: "Look, Your Highness, cousin and cousin Lan get along really harmoniously, and they are really a perfect couple."

The crown prince was most happy to hear these words, and he grinned and said: "Yes, when the queen mother proposes a marriage for the two of them, we can wait and drink the wedding wine."

Mo looked at Shen Qiuyu intentionally again: "Why didn't Concubine Shen say anything, aren't you happy that the two lovers finally got married?"

The prince also looked over with a smile.

Shen Qiuyu smiled slightly: "I am naturally happy, and I am thinking about what gifts I should give if Cousin Gu and Cousin Lan get married!"

The prince was very satisfied with her reaction, and immediately generously agreed: "I should give this congratulatory gift, it's not for Yu'er to spend money."

Shen Qiuyu pursed her lips and smiled lightly, her eyes fluttering: "The concubine will not be robbed from His Highness." After a pause, she said almost coquettishly: "Didn't Your Highness say that he would play a song for his concubine to celebrate his birthday? Your Highness can You can’t break your word.”

The prince smiled loudly: "How can I forget this, come and get the flute!" The prince is good at playing the flute, but since he became an adult, he has rarely shown off his flute skills in front of others.

Seeing that the prince really planned to play the flute for Shen Qiuyu in public, Mo's heart was filled with jealousy and hatred, but he suppressed it calmly.

After the song and dance was over, the prince walked out of the gazebo holding the flute, stood still in the middle of the blanket, then raised the flute to his lips, and began to play it leisurely.

……

When the women were surprised, they looked at Shen Qiuyu with subtle expressions.Mixed with deep envy and a trace of jealousy that cannot be expressed in words.

Shen Qiuyu enjoyed such gazes very much, especially the jealous gazes from Mrs. Mo and Concubine Lin made her even more happy, and the smile on her lips deepened.

Ye Qinglan saw that Shen Qiuyu was in the limelight again, she couldn't help sighing: "The prince really loves Concubine Shen a lot." I really didn't expect the prince to have such an excellent flute skill, I really underestimated him before.

Gu Xinian pulled up the corners of his lips with a half-smile, and cast a sideways glance at Ye Qinglan: "Are you testing or hinting?" Anyway, Gu Xiyu already knew what he should know, so there was no need to be shy about speaking.

Ye Qinglan blinked innocently: "I'm just talking casually, I didn't test or hint. What are you doing with such a strong reaction? Could it be that you are going to end up presenting a song later?"

The slight sourness in the words made Gu Xinian suddenly feel better, but he smiled without saying a word.If the predictions are correct, Shen Qiuyu will definitely make some moves later.Just relying on Ye Qinglan's three-legged cat's piano skills, performing in front of everyone is tantamount to making a fool of herself.He has already made plans to save the scene at any time...

A melodious xiao song ended, and the audience immediately burst into applause and praise.

Shen Qiuyu got up gracefully, and actually walked from the gazebo in front of the prince, smiled and gave a blessing: "I thank Your Highness for your kindness, and I will never forget it in this life."

The beauty is affectionate, gentle and affectionate like a prince, how can she not remain calm, but she holds Shen Qiuyu's hand in front of everyone: "Yu'er, I will never let you down."

Both Mo Shi and Concubine Lin could barely stop laughing.

What is the difference between Shen Qiuyu's behavior and hitting the two of them in the face in public?

Shen Qiuyu stared at Ye Qinglan naturally.
