"Hmph! Who asked her to come out and embarrass herself! I can't say anything anymore!?" Song Jia glared at Qin Jiaojiao who looked aggrieved.
"I...I'm fine, aunt. Cousin Jia is in a bad mood. I don't blame her. It's all my fault for making my cousin upset." After saying that, Qin Jiaojiao lowered her head sadly and stood aside timidly, looking at Get up, thin and lonely.
But the voice was loud enough for people nearby to hear clearly.
At this time, several people nearby were already looking at him strangely.
There were several glaring looks at Song Jia.
Just because Qin Jiaojiao looks delicate and beautiful, has a thin body, and looks timid, she looks like she is often bullied, which can arouse the protective desire of others.
Mrs. Shangshu of the Ministry of Civil Affairs felt extremely distressed when she saw her niece like this. She quickly comforted her, "Jiaojiao, your cousin is..., don't argue with her. My aunt is on your side. When you get back, your aunt will tell her, you Don't think too much." After saying this, he looked at his daughter with a helpless look. Why do you have to be so venomous at this time?
My own daughter doesn't know why, but she has been incompatible with her niece since the first time she met her. She often talks too much, to the point where even her own mother can't stand listening to her. She refuses to listen no matter what she says.
Song Jia was so angry when she heard Qin Jiaojiao's tea talk. Her mother still defended her like this, and the slightly accusatory looks from those around her. Were their eyes covered with shit? Can't you tell she's just faking it? Song Jia suddenly became even more angry and sneered, "You'd better keep pretending!"
Qin Jiaojiao shrank as if scared.
Mrs. Shangshu of the Ministry of Personnel really couldn't bear to slap her daughter on the back, "What's the decency of doing this outside? I'll deal with you when I get back!" Don't you know that such behavior will ruin your reputation?
Looking at the trembling niece in front of her, the slight dissatisfaction she felt towards her was instantly suppressed, and all she felt was heartache. Jiaojiao was also innocent, and she didn't want to let others misunderstand Jiaer's domineering nature by saying these words. , it’s all her fault, she spoiled Jiaer rotten!
Song Jia glanced at Qin Jiaojiao and strode forward. Even her mother didn't want to talk to her. She went straight to find the little sisters surrounding Lord Xiao and join them in chatting.
She had played with Xiao Yuanyuan several times. Song Jia liked her very much and felt that Xiao Yuanyuan's character was very suitable for her, so she even looked down on Qin Jiaojiao and her blind half-brother. .
You mistook the fish eyes for pearls, just watch, Song Yan will regret it in the future!
When Qin Jiaojiao saw that Song Jia ignored her, she ran towards Xiao Yuanyuan and isolated her nakedly. She almost broke her silver teeth!
"Aunt~~"
Soon, the night was getting dark, and most people lined up one by one to the Qionghua Hall, the venue for the New Year's Eve banquet.
The interior of the hall is magnificent. The inner pillars of the hall are supported by multiple giant red pillars. Each pillar is engraved with a lifelike golden dragon that is circling around, which is particularly spectacular.
The red lanterns were hung high, the candlelight flickered, as bright as day, and the atmosphere of New Year's Eve was immediately heightened.
Everyone sits in order according to their positions, with men and women seated separately.
Sitting at the lower right of the emperor are the tenth prince, the eldest prince, the fifth prince and other brothers, followed by the royal family members, dukes, marquises and uncles with titles, and finally, Prime Minister Su and several other highly respected people in the court. Minister, the ones sitting at the bottom left are the female relatives of each family. The seats are also arranged according to the status of the men.
Dayu respects the right, so men sit in the back and women sit on the left.
Almost all the ministers and their wives and children were present. The eldest prince, the fifth prince and the royal family members were also present. Now only a few people were not present.
For example, the eldest princess Zhaohua and the two hostages, oh, and the tenth prince and his majesty, let’s not talk about the last two, they must be the last ones to appear.
As for the two protons, they are invited to the annual New Year's Eve banquet. This year, after careful consideration by several ministers, they decided to follow the old custom and include them very high, between the ministers with titles, Su Xiang, and the six ministers. The position was a good one. According to the hostility of the ministers towards Ling and Fenglan, they were not prepared to invite them. After all, they were heartbroken.
But as the etiquette of a big country, they couldn't be so informal, and finally decided to continue the invitation after discussion.
At the moment, the most important people are not here, and the scene is not anxious. Instead, they are chatting among themselves.
There were all the people I wanted to make friends with, and all the people I usually wanted to meet but couldn't meet in person were here today. It was a good opportunity, so the place became particularly lively.
Xiao Yuanyuan was very satisfied with her seat. Opposite her was her eldest brother, and on the left and right were the little sisters she had just made. Now, while His Majesty was not here, several little sisters were whispering.
The maids served dishes and fruit snacks one after another, and soon every table was filled with all kinds of delicacies and exquisite pastries, which made everyone's fingers move.
At this time, loud shouts of "Princess Zhaohua have arrived!"
"Prince Ling has arrived!"
"The sixth prince of Fenglan Kingdom has arrived!"
Hearing the sound, the ministers and their wives who had gathered to talk stopped one after another and looked up.
I saw a girl slowly walking towards the entrance, wearing a gorgeous purple palace dress, a white light fur cloak, and an exquisite phoenix crown on her head. The girl was beautiful and elegant, with picturesque features and skin like snow. Everyone present was immediately stunned. Her breathing paused for a second, so much so that she ignored the two protons behind the girl who were equally handsome and handsome.
After coming back to their senses, everyone hurriedly knelt down and saluted, "See your Royal Highness, the eldest princess. Your Highness is a thousand years old, a thousand years old, a thousand years old!"
"Pingshen!" Lu Mingxi looked around and found that she was the last one to arrive, and she felt even more fed up with the two people following closely behind her.
Just as they were about to leave the palace today, Zhong Lixuan and Helian Yunting blocked the door of the palace. Lu Mingxi said that they were shameless and insisted on leaving the palace without bothering to go to the palace with her. They even got into a fight because of a quarrel. They almost got into a fight. Lu Mingxi was not afraid of them fighting. Since both of them were dead, she didn't need to worry about killing them later. But thinking that this was His Majesty's first palace banquet after he ascended the throne, she was delayed and couldn't go. It was absolutely impossible, so they gave a few words of advice before the two of them gave up.
Thinking of this, Lu Mingxi's face was filled with frost, and she hated these two people even more.
Soon, everyone except the emperor and the tenth prince arrived.
And the banquet is about to begin.
"The Emperor has arrived!"
"The tenth prince has arrived!"
Following the eunuch's loud shout, Lu Qing and Lu Yuan arrived belatedly.
Lu Qing glanced at the whole place and found that everyone he had seen and not seen was there, so he said, "Ping Sheng!"
