Chapter 535 Chasing and Finding
"Whose beauty is this? Why haven't I seen it before?" The man in white looked at Lu Yunqian's shrinking back, and his mind was full of confusion brought about by this beautiful encounter.
So in order to solve this mystery, the man in white followed Lu Yunqian far away, keeping a distance that made it difficult to see the figure, so that she could find out her identity without being abrupt and embarrassing her .
……
Prince Jing brought Granny Li to the main venue of the banquet. After taking the main seat, he naturally said some polite words as a matter of routine, and then let everyone eat, drink and have fun.
Compared with previous years, the only difference was that his gaze was always on the table of Mrs. Wang and Yuan Lan, making Yuan Lan think that Prince Jing was really looking at her, and his heart was full of elation.
Originally, on such occasions, Prince Jing would only stay for a moment and leave after speaking, but for some reason this year, after finishing speaking, he still sat in the chief seat and had no intention of leaving. The woman's wish was that they could watch Prince Jing for a while longer.
Some young ladies who had been prepared for a long time performed songs and dances under the guise of celebrating Grandma Li's birthday. In fact, they wanted to take the opportunity to perform in front of King Jing and attract his attention.
However, Prince Jing's expression was not happy. Instead, he became more and more dignified following the singing and dancing in front of him. Only those eyes were fixed on the table of the prime minister's family.
Soon everyone noticed that Prince Jing didn't look at the singing and dancing at all, but only looked at the table of the prime minister's family, where only Mrs. Wang and Yuan Lan were sitting, and everyone naturally assumed that Prince Jing was in Yuan Lan. The public enemy who ruined the entire banquet, countless eyes that wished to cut her into pieces were cast on her.
But Yuan Lan not only didn't care, but felt very proud. It was the first time in her 17 years of life that she was so embarrassing, not to mention that her sweetheart, Prince Jing, only had her in his eyes. This was a situation she couldn't even dream of. It actually appeared in front of her eyes, which made her feel unreal.
"I heard that the prime minister's daughter is good at singing and dancing, and she once performed a dance to His Royal Highness alone in the prime minister's mansion. Today is Granny Li's birthday, why don't Ms. Yuan take this opportunity to open the eyes of the sisters?" After two songs and dances, one of them was not very friendly. The voice interrupted abruptly.
The rest of the female relatives all agreed. After all, after the two songs and dances, Prince Jing never took a look. He kept looking at Yuan Lan's table. It would be better to let Yuan Lan make a fool of himself. The embarrassing news of performing dances has already spread throughout the capital, and everyone just looked at the face of the prime minister's daughter and didn't say anything in person, but it's different now.
When Yuan Lan heard this, her face flushed with shame and anger. The failure of the prime minister's dance performance was a shame in her life. She naturally hoped to have the opportunity to perform dance again to wash away the shame, but not now, she had previously After twenty lashes, there was no recovery at all.
Mrs. Wang knew the inside story, she smiled embarrassingly and explained for Yuan Lan: "I'm going to disappoint Granny Li and everyone else. Lan'er was injured a few days ago, and now I can't dance the dance that I was going to perform."
A single stone stirred up a thousand waves, and all the people present here are also smart people. Naturally, it is impossible to believe Madam Wang's words. Everyone whispered to each other, and the banquet place suddenly became noisy.
At this time, Prince Jing suddenly said expressionlessly: "Doesn't she have a younger sister? Why don't you let her perform the dance on your behalf? Could it be that the prime minister's wife didn't bring her here to pay respects to mother-in-law?"
As soon as Prince Jing's words came out, there was a sudden silence at the banquet, and even the sound of a needle falling to the ground could be heard.
No one understood why Prince Jing suddenly mentioned Yuan Lan's younger sister. It was only at this time that they suddenly realized that the prime minister's wife brought two girls to the banquet today, but the other one disappeared at some point. up.
Mrs. Wang deeply remembered that Prime Minister Yuan had told her that it was Prince Jing who asked Lu Yunqian to attend the banquet. Originally, Lu Yunqian walked quietly by herself. Yuan Lan, it was too late for them to be happy, so naturally it was impossible to say anything, but they did not expect to be held accountable by King Jing at this moment. Madam Wang suddenly felt that she had been cheated by Lu Yun, and she couldn't wash it away even by jumping into the Yellow River .
So Mrs. Wang immediately said sincerely: "Reporting to Your Highness, I did bring Xin'er here to celebrate Grandma Li's birthday. Everyone has seen Xin'er, but for some reason, one of them didn't pay attention, and Xin'er was gone when I turned around. gone?"
"Is she really here?" Prince Jing asked in disbelief.
Originally, when Prince Jing came to the banquet venue, he didn't see Lu Yunqian. He thought it was the prime minister's wife and Yuan Lan who were playing tricks again to prevent Lu Yunqian from coming. Well, Granny Li can be regarded as his half mother, and he didn't want to mess up Granny Li's birthday, so he couldn't bear it.
"My concubine really came here with her heart. If you don't believe me, His Highness, you can ask everyone present. They have all seen it before." Mrs. Wang replied with trepidation.
"Then why isn't she here? Could something have happened?" Prince Jing murmured worriedly.
Granny Li brought up Prince Jing since she was a child. She can be said to be the person who knows Prince Jing best in the world. She has never seen Prince Jing ask about a woman so proactively, and she is also worried because the woman is missing. So Granny Li smiled lovingly and said: "Your Highness, you don't need to stay with Granny if you have something to do. I'll have a good time with everyone and my birthday will be over."
Prince Jing looked at Granny Li gratefully, then stood up and left quickly.
No one expected this result. They thought that Prince Jing would stay here until the end of the banquet, but they left like this?
"What's the matter? What's the matter, Your Highness?"
"Is it because of Yuan Lan's sister?"
A group of young women saw that Prince Jing had left, chattering and chattering. Yuan Lan, whom they regarded as their enemy, was no longer worth mentioning at this moment, because everyone could hear it, and what King Jing could not do without was Yuan Lan's sister, leaving suddenly at this moment seems to be for Yuan Lan's sister.
It's just that this made them even more aggrieved. They all saw how beautiful Lu Yunqian was just now, and what they remembered more deeply was Mrs. Wang's words. Lu Yunqian was just a concubine, but it was this concubine who was able to touch Prince Jing's mood and behavior?
……
After Prince Jing left the banquet, he immediately summoned the butler, and he ordered with a worried face: "There is a picture of a woman hanging in my study, you go and get it. That woman should be still in the palace at this moment, and the most people will be dispatched to bring it to the palace." Find her out, don't let anything happen to her!"
Although the butler didn't know what happened and who the woman was, he could tell that Prince Jing's face was not good, so he didn't dare to ask anything, and immediately followed suit.
