After the dinner started, Xu Qingmo went in with Meng Hetong. They were juniors and they must not be late, otherwise they would easily be caught gossiping.
They arrived early. Xu Qingmo found his seat and sat there waiting blankly. He looked at the young ladies next to him, who were talking to each other in a lively manner.
Hua Ying looked at the girls who were gathered together talking and laughing, and then looked at her own girl, who looked so withdrawn, and felt a little anxious in her heart, so she couldn't help but said, "Girl, do you want to go get to know them?" ?”
Xu Qingmo, who was in a daze, suddenly came to her senses after hearing Hua Ying's voice. She looked at Hua Ying in confusion: "Why do you know them? Is it better to listen to what they say about which rouge shop sells the best rouge?" , Which family’s son is handsome and handsome?”
Hua Ying was at a loss for words. Xu Qingmo was really not interested in these things at all, and even a little disgusted. Her vision had never been in these backyards.
Even as a jacaranda, one can feel that Xu Qingmo is not very similar to those girls in the boudoir. If those girls are canaries and need to be pampered, then her girl is an eagle, yearning for the blue sky and white clouds, ready to spread out at any time. Wings flying.
Madam Xu had not come because she was with the queen. Ning Yuanhou and the others were probably busy too. Xu Qingmo was the only one sitting in such a large space.
Meng Hetong, who was sitting not far from her, saw that the Xu family had not come, so he walked to Xu Qingmo and said, "Your eldest brother hasn't come either?"
Xu Qingmo held his cheek, his face full of boredom: "They are probably still busy!"
Meng Hetong was silent for a long time, and then said, "Why don't you go talk to those girls?"
Faced with this question, Xu Qingmo really didn't want to answer, so he didn't speak. Meng Hetong couldn't help but said: "You, a young girl, should talk and laugh with them more, so that you look more presentable!"
Xu Qingmo still didn't want to talk to him.
Just as the two of them gradually became silent, Princess Zhengyang arrived.
Compared with the Princess Zhengyang she met before, Zhengyang looks much better now. There are many girls talking to Princess Zhengyang.
However, Princess Zhengyang saw Xu Qingmo from a distance. She pushed aside the politeness of others and walked directly to Xu Qingmo: "You are asking me so much, saying that you have an indifferent temperament and do not like to make friends with others. I am afraid that you will be left alone and suffer the consequences." Bully, let me come over earlier to accompany you!"
Before Xu Qingmo could speak, Meng Hetong on the side laughed directly: "Thank God if she doesn't bully others, what are you thinking if others bully her?"
Zhengyang secretly stepped on Meng Hetong: "Can you speak? Mo Mo is so well-behaved, how can he look like a bully!"
In the early years, when Marquis Yongchang was in poor health, the emperor would often ask Meng Hetong to come to the palace to study. Zhengyang would also be by the side, coming and going, but he was quite familiar with it, and he would not talk too much. polite.
Meng Hetong was so trampled that he grinned: "In the past, Brother Meng was older than Brother Meng, but now that he's engaged, he doesn't recognize anyone else!"
Zhengyang snorted, and then said to Xu Qingmo with a smile: "He has this temper, and his words are unpleasant, but he has a good temper, does not hold grudges, and protects his shortcomings. He is a good person!"
Xu Qingmo raised his eyes slightly and glanced at Meng Hetong, then smiled and said: "Indeed!"
After a while, everyone gradually arrived. Xu Yanquan came with Yale Gesheng and the others. When Princess Zhengyang saw Xu Yanquan, she blushed, nodded meaningfully, and left quickly.
Xu Qingmo looked at Princess Zhengyang who was trotting away, and couldn't help but said softly: "My brother, an idiot, can be so lucky. I never imagined it!"
Meng Hetong, who was standing aside, made eye contact with the guard next to Yale Gesheng. He found that the guard had been staring at his legs, obviously looking like he wanted to test him.
Meng Hetong was a little flustered. His leg was pierced by the sword. At this time, if the wound was discovered, he would not be able to get rid of it even if he was covered in mouth.
Just when Meng Hetong was in a daze, Xu Qingmo suddenly raised his leg and kicked Meng Hetong's right leg.
Meng Hetong felt a twinge of pain, but he still held on. He turned back to look at Xu Qingmo: "What are you doing?"
"Go back to your place, what are you doing here!" Xu Qingmo frowned, with disgust on his face.
The moment the two people looked at each other, Meng Hetong understood what Xu Qingmo meant. She carefully avoided her upper legs and tapped Meng Hetong's calf with her toes. But to others, it looked like Xu Qingmo kicked her. It was the same on Meng Hetong's thighs.
Meng Hetong raised his voice: "Little girl, I'm going to put so much effort into this. I bet you won't be able to get married in the future."
"Leave quickly!" Xu Qingmo was too lazy to talk to him.
Meng Hetong walked back slowly, limping slightly, and said over and over again: "This damn girl has really strong legs!"
When passing by Yale Gesheng, his guard took a careful look, and finally shook his head at Yale Gesheng, and Meng Hetong breathed a sigh of relief.
Meng Hetong returned to his seat, poured himself a glass of wine, touched the table gently, and then looked at Xu Qingmo.
Xu Qingmo raised his eyes slightly to indicate that he understood, and Meng Hetong drank all the wine in the glass.
Xu Yanquan, who had just sat down, was a little surprised when he saw the wine glass in Meng Hetong's hand: "Is he honoring you?"
Xu Qingmo raised his eyes, his face full of confusion: "What?"
Xu Yanquan looked at Xu Qingmo with a confused face and thought he was overthinking, so he didn't say anything else.
It didn't take long for the emperor to arrive with his queen. Before that, Mrs. Xu hurried over.
"The Emperor is here, the Queen is here!"
Everyone stood up and knelt down and worshiped: "Your Majesty, may you be blessed with peace, and may you, Queen, be blessed with peace of mind!"
"No gift!"
Xu Qingmo sat down again and looked up at the emperor and empress sitting high up.
The emperor and the empress attended in their best attire, which was a great honor to the prince of Northern Xinjiang.
Since it was a dinner party, there would naturally be singing and dancing. Xu Qingmo looked at the dancer's white thighs in front of him and felt his eyes sparkle. He couldn't help but said to Xu Yanquan: "No wonder you men like to watch women dance. If they are all so beautiful, I would love it too." look!"
Xu Yanquan gently tapped Xu Qingmo's head: "This is a dance music from northern Xinjiang. You are a girl, but your eyes light up when you look at other girls. You are not afraid of other people's jokes!"
"You're holding such a big state banquet, how can you have time to look at me?" Xu Qingmo didn't listen, holding his cheek and looking carefully.
Xu Yanquan's face was full of helplessness, but he was helpless.
