Chapter 93: What is Gongzi Yu looking at me for?
"She is actually a member of the Prime Minister's family?" Seeing Yin Miaoyin sitting at the seat in the Prime Minister's Mansion, Liu Mingyue was quite surprised and found it funny. It really was a whole family that was in trouble.
"What?" Qin Zhuoyan heard her mumbling softly and thought Liu Mingyue was talking to her.
"I just saw the prince and felt that he was a truly first-class, handsome man. No wonder Aunt Zhou was so infatuated with him." Liu Mingyue smiled, but her words were suggestive.
Tan Zhuoyan didn't hear the sarcasm in her words, and looked at Liu Mingyue in horror: "You are ugly, don't have any ideas about this prince, put away your dirty thoughts!"
Being belittled like this, anyone else would definitely be sad. Liu Mingyue looked at Tan Zhuoyan with amusement and laughed off his words. Tan Zhuoyan was not only a little unintelligent, but also a little stupid.
Liu Mingyue's gaze fell back on Yin Miaoyin. In her previous life, she didn't pay much attention to the Prime Minister's Mansion. Until it was burned to death, she had only seen some of the prime minister's family members in the mansion.
She didn't know Yin Miaoyin, and didn't know what Miss Yin's status was in the Prime Minister's Mansion.
After presenting gifts to the Queen Mother, the second purpose of the banquet naturally came into play, which was to select suitable wives and concubines for the princes and nobles. To this end, the ladies from each family would go up to the platform to showcase their talents.
In fact, Yin Miaoyin had no intention of participating in these fancy shows, but she was about to reach marriageable age, her father was strict with her, and her mother was eager for her to find a husband, so she had to follow her mother's wishes and go on stage with her zither.
"This is the grandson of the Prime Minister. Please invite Miss Yin Miaoyin to the stage to play the piano." When Yin Miaoyin came on stage, the palace maid introduced her identity to the guests.
Liu Mingyue was in the audience, and her eyes never left Yin Miaoyin. It turned out that she was the prime minister's granddaughter.
According to the backup, Yin Miaoyin is her cousin. Thinking of what happened in Ruyi Pavilion before, Liu Mingyue lowered her head and chuckled. The wonder of fate is just like this.
As soon as they met in Ruyi Pavilion, Liu Mingyue felt that Yin Miaoyin's personality was very much to her liking, but a woman raised in a prime minister's mansion would naturally be neither humble nor arrogant.
Yin Miaoyin was lively, but her qin skills were superb, quite like Boya, and she was mesmerized by her performance. When the song ended, thunderous applause broke out from the audience.
"After all, she is a young lady raised in the Prime Minister's Mansion. Not only is she kind, but she also plays the piano very well."
Many noblemen were attracted by the sight of the girl standing on the stage holding a zither.
"Of course. The prime minister and the whole family love this granddaughter very much. She is spoiled by everyone in the mansion. It's hard for Miss Yin not to develop a domineering personality."
Yin Miaoyin herself was very talented, and she also had to give face to the Prime Minister, so of course she was generous in praising him.
The Prime Minister has always loved this granddaughter. Seeing that Yin Miaoyin was not shy in front of others, he looked at his granddaughter with even more loving eyes.
"Mother, am I playing the zither well?" Yin Miaoyin handed the zither to the palace maid beside her and sat back down next to Zhen.
Zhen was sickly, and she raised this daughter as a treasure. She loved her very much and smiled as she held Yin Miaoyin's hand: "You play very well."
Having shown her face in public, many young masters from aristocratic families noticed Yin Miaoyin at the banquet in the Prime Minister's Mansion, and Zhen naturally noticed it.
"Mother has always urged you to get engaged as soon as possible, but what mother really wants is for you to have someone to accompany you for the rest of your life. She doesn't want you to just find someone to marry. If there's really no one you like, then forget it." Zhen looked at Yin Miaoyin hesitantly.
Her daughter played the piano at the banquet, and as the prime minister's granddaughter, she had to set an example regardless of whether Zhen asked for it or not.
However, just now, when Zhen was sitting at the table and watching her daughter sitting on the stage, playing the piano with her eyes lowered, she was graceful and calm in her every move, and her whole body and soul were focused on the piano. The young men from aristocratic families were also impressed by her talent, and Zhen was a little panicked.
Yin Miaoyin is the daughter of a prominent family. For the sake of the power of the Prime Minister's Mansion, countless people will approach her with ulterior motives. This is not what Zhen wants.
"Mother, I know it very well in my heart. I was just pretending to play the piano today. I'm not that foolish." Seeing her mother's worry about her, Yin Miaoyin stroked her back gently and comforted her softly. As the granddaughter of the prime minister, she was no fool.
Liu Mingyue watched the talents displayed by the noble ladies with great interest. She stroked the rim of the wine cup with her fingertips and thought that many young ladies had put in a lot of effort in order to be favored by the royal family.
Although these things had nothing to do with her, thanks to today's palace banquet, she was able to feast her eyes.
When the wine cup was handed to her lips, Liu Mingyue paused slightly. What was going on? She felt that someone was staring at her since just now. However, there were many people at the palace banquet, so she thought it was an illusion.
Liu Mingyue raised her eyes and scanned the room, her gaze stopping on the blinding white.
"Young Master Yu? What are you looking at me for?" Liu Mingyue thought of the embarrassment in the garden and her hands trembled. Could it be that the other party was someone who held a grudge?
Liu Mingyue was puzzled, thinking that it was just a quick meeting, Xuanyuan Yu shouldn't be so petty. Well, of course, it could also be that he thought her face was a little too ugly.
Although she noticed the other person's gaze, Liu Mingyue had no intention of meeting the other person's face. She lowered her eyes calmly, drank the wine in the cup, and pretended to be completely unaware.
I thought the matter should end here, but when Liu Mingyue lowered her head to eat the cake, she realized that the man's eyes were still on her. She pretended to look in Yin Miaoyin's direction, but her eyes were actually fixed on Xuanyuan Yu.
Xuanyuan Yu didn't seem to worry about being noticed by others, and his gaze on Liu Mingyue was very direct. However, because he was sitting too far back, no one noticed a proton.
Liu Mingyue: "Hmm?"
"This is Qinghe Palace. It's okay if you're ugly, but at least you should behave properly and stop sneaking around and embarrassing yourself!"
Qin Zhuoyan was unhappy to sit with Liu Mingyue and glared at her from time to time. Seeing Liu Mingyue shrinking back, she reminded her in dissatisfaction.
"Oh." Liu Mingyue realized that she was indeed a little vulgar and sat up straighter in embarrassment.
Liu Mingyue poured another glass of wine, her mind was in a thousand twists and turns, wondering why the prince of Daqi had been looking at her. In terms of appearance, she was really ugly, and after a few glances, the curiosity should have worn off.
It’s impossible that Gongzi Yu knows her.
Liu Mingyue drank several glasses of wine in succession. As the alcohol took effect, her head felt a little dizzy, and her numerous thoughts were gradually forgotten.
When the moon was at its zenith, the palace banquet ended, and on the carriage back to the mansion, Qin Zhuoyan was still busy as usual.
"You are just an adopted daughter. You married into the Marquis's Mansion from the Zhou Mansion. Only then can you sit at the same table with me as the Crown Prince's Consort. It is your honor. Please at least know that this honor is not worthy of being shown on the stage."
In front of Liu Mingyue, Qin Zhuoyan didn't know why she got so confident and always remembered to praise herself.
