Seeing this, Chu Yue no longer wanted to continue watching the show, and she looked at Ningdong.
"Let's go."
Arriving at the door of Shangshu Mansion, Ningdong handed the invitation in his hand to the butler.
On the other side, when Yuan Xueer saw Lu Xinghe's unwillingness, she immediately became interested in teasing him.
She grabbed Lu Xinghe's arm and pressed her entire weight in his direction.
It happened suddenly, but luckily Lu Xinghe reacted quickly enough and quickly took a few steps back to prevent her body from touching him.
Seeing that Yuan Xueer landed safely, Lu Xinghe retracted his arm.
"Miss Yuan, please respect yourself."
Yuan Xueer didn't take it seriously, "I've been sitting in the carriage for a long time, and my legs are a little sore. I just couldn't stand still and suddenly fell down. Brother Xinghe, don't get me wrong."
Self-respect?
If she respects herself, she will never get married in this life.
Then, before Lu Xinghe could react, Yuan Xueer suddenly stepped forward and took his arm.
"Brother Xinghe, let's go in quickly."
Lu Xinghe wanted to break away, but Yuan Xueer's hold was too tight, and it was difficult to break free for a while. His brows were tightly knitted, and his face was covered with a layer of coldness.
But Yuan Xueer didn't seem to notice it, and just walked to Shangshu Mansion with her arms around him.
As soon as the group arrived at the door, they saw Mrs. Lin personally coming out and bowing respectfully to the woman in front of them.
"I have met Princess Heyue."
The straight woman standing in front nodded slightly, "Mrs. Lin, you don't have to be polite."
Her voice is like a clear spring in the mountains, refreshing the heart and mind.
Mrs. Lin made an invitation gesture toward the mansion, "Princess, please come in."
At this moment, Yuan Xueer sneered coldly.
"Princess Heyue? I don't know what your majesty thinks, but you actually made a country bumpkin the princess. Doesn't he have good medical skills? There are many miracle doctors in the world, and I haven't seen him make anyone else."
Her voice was neither loud nor soft, but it was extremely contemptuous, which made Lu Xinghe's face grow colder.
Chu Yue seemed to hear the voice and looked back.
When his cold eyes glanced at Yuan Xueer's arm holding Lu Xinghe's, he only paused slightly and then moved away.
In Yuan Xueer's impression, most peasant women are sallow, thin, and ugly.
But the woman in front of her has bright eyes and white teeth, delicate and delicate facial features, and is extremely spiritual.
She was stunned for a moment.
The moment he saw Chu Yue, Lu Xinghe panicked in his heart and hurriedly brushed Yuan Xueer's arm away from his own. Because the force was too strong, Yuan Xueer stumbled aside for several steps before being helped by the maid. Keep your posture steady.
"Miss, are you okay?"
Lu Xinghe brushed Yuan Xueer away and was about to step forward when he saw Chu Yue not even looking at him, but turned back to look at Mrs. Lin.
"Ma'am, please lead the way."
Mrs. Lin smiled and led Chu Yue towards the mansion.
Lu Xinghe stood there, his face covered with frost, and his deep eyes flashed with an unknown look.
She was angry.
The hands under his robe were tugged tightly, and he felt panicked in his heart.
Did he let her down?
After all, she had never ignored herself so much before.
Lu Xinghe was immersed in his own thoughts until Yuan Yutang reminded him from the side, "Brother Lu, we should go in."
He nodded slightly and followed a few people into the Shangshu Mansion.
And because she was on guard, Yuan Xueer never had the chance to get close to Lu Xinghe.
It was still early, and some of the guests gathered in twos and threes in the corridors and pavilions of the garden, while others were drinking tea and chatting in the living room.
Because of the cold weather, curtains were hung on the corridors and pavilions, and charcoal basins were lit inside, so it didn't feel cold.
Chu Yue met Mrs. Lin and after sending her a congratulatory gift, she did not stay in the hall for a long time. Instead, she led Ningdong to the garden, hoping to find a quiet corner to sit.
Because she was a stranger, no one recognized Chu Yue, and Chu Yue had no intention of talking to anyone. As she walked past, no one paid much attention to her.
However, just as Chu Yue continued to walk forward, she suddenly saw someone waving to her in the pavilion in front of her.
"He Yue, this way."
Looking up, Chu Yue saw a look of surprise on her face, it was Gu Xianyu.
She had never expected to meet Gu Xianyu in Shangshu Mansion.
Approaching the pavilion, Chu Yue is blessed.
"I have met His Highness the Third Prince."
Gu Xianyu immediately stepped forward and took her arm, helping her up, his face as gentle as jade.
"He Yue, you don't have to be polite to me. Come, let me introduce you to some friends." He said, turned to look at the people in the pavilion, and said with a smile, "Weren't you all talking about Princess He Yue's appearance just now? ? Well, this is the person in front of you."
Several people looked at Chu Yue with a look of surprise on their faces.
She was from a peasant family and was good at medicine. They originally thought that the other party was at most a smart girl.
Little did he know that the real Princess Heyue was such a beautiful and smart girl.
Several people in the pavilion stood up and saluted Chu Yue.
"Princess Heyue, I have long admired your name."
Chu Yue didn't know the people in front of her, but she behaved quite calmly.
After returning a salute to everyone, Gu Xianyu pulled him into the pavilion. He pointed at the people in front of him and introduced, "This is the young master of the Shangshufu family, Lin Haonan."
Chu Yue nodded slightly towards the man.
"Master Lin."
Gu Xianyu continued to point to one of the fifteen or sixteen-year-old girls and introduced, "This is my uncle's daughter, Princess Wushuang."
Gu Wushuang stood up and greeted Chu Yue.
"This is Luo Qinwen, the son of Taifu, and Xiuyuan, the Shaoqin guard of Guanglu Temple."
Chu Yue nodded towards the two of them.
"It's my first time attending a banquet in Beijing, and it's also my first time meeting everyone. Please forgive me for any inconveniences."
Several people hurriedly said, "Princess Heyue is worrying too much."
"Sister Heyue, this way."
Originally there was only one woman in the pavilion, Gu Wushuang, who was still a little reserved here. Now that she saw Chu Yuelai, she seemed to have found a companion. She patted the empty seat next to her and motioned for her to sit down next to her.
Chu Yue smiled slightly, then walked over and sat down next to Gu Wushuang.
She originally wanted to find a place to stay by herself until the banquet started, and then leave early after a short break, but she didn't expect to meet Gu Xianyu.
Now that people took the initiative to invite them, she couldn't help but flatter a few people, so she could only sit here for the time being.
"I heard that my sister was injured in an attack some time ago, but she has recovered now?" Gu Wushuang asked.
Chu Yue nodded.
"It's almost done. Thank you Princess Wushuang for remembering me."
Gu Wushuang covered her lips and smiled.
"Sister, there's no need to be cautious. Brother Yu has made good friends here. If you don't dislike me, just call me Wushuang."
Looking at Gu Wushuang's well-behaved and gentle appearance, Chu Yue also felt happy.
"Of course I don't mind."
At this moment, a voice sounded outside the pavilion.
"Your Highness, please come inside."
