Lu Xingyue looked at him intently for a few times. It was difficult for Shen Lansui to ignore him. She raised her eyes and looked over, only to see Lu Xingyue frowning, looking inexplicably fierce.
Shen Lansui: "..."
What does this person mean?
She snorted and gave him what she thought was a vicious look.
What are you looking at?
However, there was moisture in her eyes, and when she glared at people like this, she didn't have any momentum at all. Instead, she looked stubborn and pitiful.
Lu Xingyue's heart tightened, as if someone had pinched him gently.
He watched helplessly as Shen Lansui looked away, leaving him with a half-indifferent profile.
Lu Xingyue sighed silently in his heart. He had no experience in getting along with women, not counting Lu Jingzhi, and they didn't have much to say about the previous wife. He was really at a loss when it came to Shen Lansui.
The noble lady in the middle of the banquet finished her song and stood up.
Rong Zhao praised him generously and asked if anyone else was willing to come up.
Lu Xingyue lowered his eyes and picked up the wine cup at hand, when he heard a familiar voice coming from the female guests' table.
"My daughter has shown her disgrace."
Shen Lansui looked back in surprise and saw Mu Bingyan standing up.
Lu Jingzhi whispered: "She has always been aloof, how could she join in this kind of fun?"
Shen Lansui was thoughtful. Mu Bingyan represented the Mu family and the Yong'an Marquis Mansion. Both Yong'an Marquis and Mu Chongan were now highly valued by the emperor. She was also the legitimate daughter of the Mu family. Her choice was probably related to her. Faction fighting is closely related.
"I'm afraid it's the intention of the Marquis Mansion, so let's just wait and see." She said in a low voice.
Lu Jingzhi nodded, "That's right."
Mu Bingyan was brought up with the pipa in her arms. She was sitting at the banquet with a calm and calm expression on her face. There was something charming about her playing the pipa strings with her eyes lowered.
"If she wasn't so annoying, her appearance would suit my liking." Lu Jingzhi shook his head sadly, "But now she is a fairy, and I can't appreciate her anymore."
Shen Lansui couldn't help laughing, "Then eat more vegetables. You've come here, so you can't go back with an empty stomach."
She picked up a piece of stewed beef and put it on Lu Jingzhi's plate.
"Sister-in-law, you can eat too." Lu Jingzhi also gave her some vegetables.
Everyone else at the table was busy with their own thoughts, but the two of them put aside anything else and concentrated on tasting the food.
Ruan Huaishu glanced back and said with a smile: "I have a lot of things in my heart, I am so happy."
Shen Xiyun and Shen Hanfang were sitting diagonally behind them, and they could clearly see every move made by Shen Lansui and Lu Jingzhi.
Shen Hanfang said disdainfully: "You are like a starving ghost. Those who don't know better would think that the Duke's palace cannot afford food."
"Stop talking." Shen Xiyun glanced at her, "How have you prepared the things I asked you to prepare?"
Shen Hanfang looked proud, "Second sister, don't worry, I will never embarrass you."
Shen Xiyun also knew how much she weighed. He felt relieved after hearing this and whispered: "You can come up after Mu Bingyan comes down. The first two are musical instruments. They must be tired of hearing them. They just need someone to come out and change them." For a change.”
"I know." Shen Hanfang muttered impatiently.
Shen Xiyun withdrew his gaze, keeping his sight out of sight.
If she had no one available, she wouldn't use this idiot.
When Mu Bingyan finished her song, the fifth prince took the lead in applauding, and the others followed suit, all with smiles on their faces.
Rong Zhao praised a few words, glanced at the fifth prince thoughtfully, and smiled knowingly, "A famous instrument should be matched with a close friend. The pipa is wasted here in this palace. It is better to give it to a close friend. Miss Mu, don't dislike it." .”
Mu Bingyan took it with both hands, leaned forward and said, "Thank you, Princess. I will keep it safe."
Rong Zhao nodded and she retreated.
The fifth prince's eyes stayed on her for a long time.
As soon as Mu Bingyan went down, Shen Hanfang stood up and said confidently: "Sisters Zhuyu are in front of me. My sister is really no match, so I have to perform one dance. I am not good at learning, so please forgive me."
Rong Zhao raised his eyebrows and glanced at Shen Lansui at the table.
Shen Lansui glanced at Shen Hanfang, surprised for a moment, then felt it was reasonable, so he didn't pay much attention and continued to eat with his head down.
Rong Zhao laughed, this was sincere.
Shen Hanfang brought her dance clothes and went down to change and then came back. Within half an hour, everyone's appetite was whetted.
Hearing a low cry, Shen Lansui raised his eyes in confusion and saw that Shen Hanfang had changed into a bright red dance costume. Her slender waist was looming and difficult to hold, and the golden bells on her ankles jingled as she moved, making her playful and agile.
She walked backwards to the middle with her back to the crowd, stood still and posed, drums sounded in the dark, she suddenly looked back, her face was covered with red gauze, her forehead was covered with vermilion flowers, she was so beautiful and mysterious. Her eyes are very beautiful, and after covering the lower half of her face, her eyebrows become more prominent, and her beauty is seductive.
People who were not very interested at first sat up straight and followed Shen Hanfang closely.
"Dong dong dong——"
The sound of the drums changed from slow to fast, and Shen Hanfang's movements gradually became faster.
The water sleeves are like waves when flying, and the red skirt is like fire when jumping, making people unable to take their eyes away.
Lu Jingzhi murmured: "She is really quite capable."
Shen Lansui nodded in agreement. No wonder Shen Xiyun wanted to bring her here, but he hid such a trick!
She looked across the crowd and landed on the seven princes opposite. As expected, she saw many people showing surprise.
The atmosphere in the venue changed from the previous leisurely tranquility to suddenly becoming lively.
As the dance came to an end, Shen Hanfang turned slightly sideways, brushed her face like an orchid with her hand, and the gauze fell to the ground, revealing her beautiful face. She smiled brightly, and some people couldn't help but cheer: "Okay!"
The princes also applauded, and the whole table was filled with praises.
Shen Lansui listened with a normal expression. She also felt that Shen Hanfang danced well and could dance to this level. It seemed that he had practiced since childhood. She was neither envious nor jealous.
However, Shen Hanfang obviously didn't think so. After changing her clothes and coming back, she purposely passed by Shen Lansui's side. When she passed behind her, she smiled and said, "Humph."
Lu Jingzhi also heard it. She glanced back and asked in confusion, "Is your throat broken?"
Shen Hanfang: "No..."
"Then why are you coughing? There are no rules."
Lu Jingzhi glanced at her with disgust, then filled a bowl of sweet soup on the table and handed it to Shen Lansui, "Third sister-in-law, autumn is dry, drink more and pay attention to your throat."
Shen Lansui looked at Shen Hanfang's face that dared to be angry but dared not speak out from the corner of her eye, and smiled, "Okay, thank you sister."
Shen Hanfang lost her temper and opened her mouth to fight back. Shen Xiyun quickly pulled her and gave her a warning look. She suddenly woke up and sat down.
Later, several noble ladies came forward to perform, and Rong Zhaodu generously rewarded them. Finally, the set of jade heads and faces was awarded to Xue Cifu's youngest daughter, Xue Zhijing.
After the women's performance, the men came on stage, throwing pots, shooting, and dancing with swords, each showing their magical powers.
At the end of the banquet, everyone was still a little unsatisfied and excitedly discussed who had performed the best just now.
Lu Jingzhi took Shen Lansui's arm and walked out. When he reached the door, Lu Xingyue suddenly stopped her, "Jing Zhi."
Lu Jingzhi turned around in surprise and saw Mu Lang pushing Lu Xingyue's wheelchair and following them. Although Lu Xingyue called her, his eyes fell on Shen Lansui, "Brother is waiting for you in the carriage ahead."
Shen Lansui frowned, and Lu Xingyue said without changing his expression: "You come with me."
Lu Xingyue: I want to have sex with my wife
