Although such an idea is too conspiratorial, Lu Yunqian thinks it is not impossible. Otherwise, why would it be possible to explain why Prince Jing wanted to marry her so actively and enthusiastically just because he liked her? Yet?
The intrigues and struggles in the imperial court are more terrifying than the battles in the harem, and they will kill everyone at every turn. If possible, Lu Yunqian really does not want to be involved in such an undercurrent of struggle. She just wants to finish the task quietly.
"I don't have time right now. When the banquet is over, don't rush to leave. I'll show you around the palace." Prince Jing thought of Lu Yunqian talking about the reason why he got lost this time, so he kindly The suggestion was made empathetically.
Lu Yunqian wanted to refuse subconsciously, but when she thought about the fact that Prince Jing said that she would go to the prime minister's mansion to propose marriage just because of her haste, she had no choice but to swallow the words of rejection. She never thought of the nonsense just now. An excuse, at this moment, he actually lifted a rock and shot himself in the foot.
So Lu Yunqian had no choice but to remind gently: "But I have to go home with my wife and sister."
"What's the point? Just tell them to wait for you." Prince Jing said indifferently.
Lu Yunqian suddenly had nothing to say. She knew that Madam Wang and Yuan Lan were willing to stay for a while.
After continuing to walk for a while, Prince Jing and Lu Yunqian returned to the banquet place together.After King Jing's stand just now, although the banquet was still very lively, without Prince Jing, naturally there would be no such talents and performances in the name of celebrating birthdays.
The appearance of King Jing and Lu Yunqian at the banquet caused quite a commotion. The bustling banquet fell silent instantly, and everyone couldn't help looking at King Jing and Lu Yunqian, their eyes following their movements.
The female family members at the banquet were all of extraordinary background and knowledge, but when they saw the appearance of the woman who was lucky enough to stand beside Prince Jing, they fell into mad jealousy, but they still had to admit her appearance. Qingcheng, she stood by Prince Jing's side, she really complemented Prince Jing, like a match made in heaven.
Lu Yunqian naturally felt that countless eyes were on her, but she didn't take it seriously at all. She calmly walked back to the table with Mrs. Wang and Yuan Lan, and stood beside Mrs. Wang with a calm demeanor. sat down.
Naturally, Prince Jing returned to the chair and sat beside Granny Li. He didn't pay attention to everyone's strange eyes at all, but just casually said something to Granny Li, and everyone didn't know what he said. , they could only see that Granny Li smiled happily after hearing what he said, and looked at Lu Yunqian intentionally or unintentionally.
The banquet returned to the happy and harmonious atmosphere just now, but the atmosphere has changed a little. Everyone's eyes were aimed at Lu Yunqian intentionally or unintentionally, wondering what was going on with her and Prince Jing, and why they appeared together. People even whispered to each other.
Sitting with Yuan Lan and Mrs. Wang, Lu Yunqian naturally couldn't be clean. Yuan Lan's eyes on her are completely undisguised now. If eyes can kill, Lu Yunqian believes that she should have been lingering by Yuan Lan. executed.
"Sister is really good at it. Under such circumstances, she can find a chance to seduce Prince Jing." Yuan Lan sneered.
Randomly scooping up a spoonful of soup, savoring it carefully, Lu Yunqian had to admit that the cooking skills of the chefs in Prince Jing's Mansion were more than ten times better than those in the Prime Minister's Mansion. As for Yuan Lan's attack, it was only expected. She didn't say anything, but she was worried.
"His Royal Highness Prince Jing is here, sister can speak louder so that he can hear too." Lu Yunqian suggested to Yuan Lan with a smile while drinking soup.
Yuan Lan's anger was completely ignited by Lu Yunqian. Seeing Lu Yunqian drinking the soup, she had an urge to splash that bowl of soup on Lu Yunqian's face, but fortunately, Mrs. Wang knew Yuan Lan very well. Grabbing Yuan Lan's hand in time prevented Yuan Lan from doing something embarrassing in public.
Mrs. Wang shook her head towards Yuan Lan, and then said respectfully to Prince Jing: "Your Highness, before you left, you said that you wanted Yuan Xin to perform the dance instead of Yuan Lan. Now that Xin'er is back, can she perform the dance to celebrate Granny Li's birthday? "
Lu Yunqian took a mouthful of soup and choked it down her throat, but luckily she didn't cough it up. She patted her chest, and then looked at Mrs. Wang and Yuan Lan angrily. Of course, it was impossible for these two women to make such a suggestion to make people feel uncomfortable. She was in the limelight, they just decided that the original owner, Yuan Xin, was a maid since she was a child and had never learned these things at all, so they deliberately wanted to embarrass her.
"Ma'am, Dad seems to have said that if I make a fool of myself at the banquet, I will only blame you." Lu Yunqian couldn't help reminding Mrs. Wang in a low voice.
"Xin'er, it's really not that I'm making things difficult for you. Just now, when you were away, His Highness said that he saw that you were not there, and ordered the people in the mansion to look for you everywhere. Now that you are back, shouldn't you perform a dance? " Madam Wang put on a hypocritical appearance of understanding Lu Yunqian but having no choice.
Yuan Lan gloated directly: "Sister, isn't it just a dance, don't you know it?"
Seeing that Lu Yunqian's face was not looking well, Prince Jing thought that dancing was really embarrassing her, so he took the initiative to explain to her: "When I found Miss Yuan Er just now, she sprained her foot, I'm afraid she can't dance for my mother-in-law. gone."
The people present were all human beings, and they knew that he was protecting Lu Yunqian when they heard what King Jing said, which naturally made them hate Lu Yunqian even more, but it was Prince Jing, even if they were given ten guts, they would still I dare not object.
Lu Yunqian was grateful for Prince Jing's protection, so she stood up and smiled respectfully: "Your Highness, Granny Li, although Yuan Xin can't perform a dance, Yuan Xin can play a song for Granny Li to wish you a birthday."
So everything went smoothly, King Jing ordered someone to fetch the qin, Lu Yunqian sat on the chair, gently plucked the strings, followed the fingering in the memory of the original owner Yuan Xin, and the music she remembered from her previous life, while talking They sang a happy birthday song, the brisk and festive tune, coupled with Lu Yunqian's nightingale-like voice, everyone enjoyed listening to it.
The song was very common to Lu Yunqian, but it was never heard of by the people present. They thought it was Lu Yunqian who composed the music and wrote the lyrics. Naturally, Prince Jing said loudly with joy, " There is a business," Granny Li also happily praised a few words, but the others, especially Yuan Lan and Madam Wang, were very annoyed, deeply regretting that they should not have given Lu Yunqian such a chance to show their faces.
After Lu Yunqian received the reward from King Jing, she returned to sit beside Mrs. Wang, and immediately felt Yuan Lan's vicious gaze.
