Chapter 407: Failed Chatting
Zhao Shuoer stood in the banquet hall, feeling a little uncomfortable with Concubine An's overly enthusiastic chat.
In fact, she had already known in her heart that today's banquet was not what she wanted. She didn't want to come to this banquet at all. After all, Concubine An was a person who said one thing in public and another in private. Zhao Shuoer didn't want to have any contact with her at all on weekdays.
However, the reminder from the nanny echoed in her ears like a warning bell - Concubine An was now in the limelight in the palace. If she was always cold to her, there was no guarantee that she would not gossip in front of the emperor.
Zhao Shuoer was a little irritable, but although she was favored in the palace, she couldn't offend the concubine.
"Princess Shuo, come and take a seat. Today's banquet is carefully prepared and will surely satisfy you." Concubine An smiled, as if she didn't notice the alienation in Zhao Shuo'er's eyes at all.
Zhao Shuo'er nodded slightly, but she was disdainful in her heart. This Concubine An seemed gentle on the surface, but in fact she was scheming. Naturally, she didn't want to have too much contact with her. But since she was here, she didn't want to dampen everyone's interest.
"Thank you, Princess An." Zhao Shuo'er said lightly, and walked to the seat under the guidance of Concubine An.
The seats arranged by Concubine An were also interesting. Zhao Shuo'er was directly arranged on her left. Concubine An was the main seat, and An Yuesheng was on the other side. Her wolfish ambition was clearly revealed.
However, just as Zhao Shuo'er was about to sit down, a crisp voice interrupted the harmonious atmosphere.
Qin Xixi suddenly spoke up and called Zhao Shuoer.
"Sister Zhao, sister!" Qin Xixi had an innocent smile on her face, and seemed to be very familiar with Zhao Shuoer. She even pulled the corner of Zhao Shuoer's clothes, wanting to take her away.
It seemed that Qin Xixi wanted Zhao Shuoer to sit with them.
[Humph, Concubine An wants Zhao Shuoer to be her daughter-in-law. How could Xixi let An Yuesheng get such a big advantage?]
And according to Qin Xixi's understanding of the An family, if she didn't think highly of Zhao Shuoer, they might use some dirty and sinister tricks. Qin Xixi naturally couldn't bear to see Zhao Shuoer being entangled by a sinister person.
Seeing that Qin Xixi seemed to like Zhao Shuoer very much, the princess looked at Zhao Shuoer with a smile.
"Princess Shuo, why don't you sit here with us? Xixi seems to like you very much."
Concubine An's expression suddenly turned ugly. She glanced at Qin Xixi unhappily, but did not dare to show it. After all, the eldest princess was standing behind Qin Xixi, and she dared not offend her easily.
This Qin Xixi always ruined her good deeds.
But Concubine An did not want to offend the eldest princess for the time being, so she could only endure it with a fake smile.
Zhao Shu'er was a little surprised to see this. She was a little puzzled. Why would Qin Xixi take the initiative to show kindness to her?
But she didn't want to have any contact with Concubine An in the first place, so naturally she would not miss this opportunity. She smiled slightly, walked to Qin Xixi and sat down.
"Thank you very much, Sister Xixi and the eldest princess. "
Seeing this, Concubine An had no choice but to leave silently. Her heart was filled with resentment and anger, and her hatred for Qin Xixi deepened.
Zhao Shuo'er looked calm, but after sitting down, she was very confused. You know, she had ruined Qin Qixuan's reputation with rumors before, and even wanted to force him to marry her. In Qin Xixi's eyes, she should be an absolute enemy. According to Qin Xixi's attitude towards her elder brother, With such an admiring personality, he would definitely not like her.
But the fact seems to be not so. Qin Xixi would actually take the initiative to protect her in the palace? This really opened her eyes.
They did not see that after Concubine An turned around, she exchanged glances with An Yuesheng, and undercurrents surged.
Concubine An nodded slightly, indicating that it was time for An Yuesheng to act.
An Yuesheng understood and a confident smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. He picked up the wine glass in his hand and walked towards Zhao Shuoer calmly.
"Princess Shuoer, I am really fortunate to see your style here. I have heard that you are both talented and beautiful. Today, I see that you are indeed worthy of your reputation. "
An Yuesheng approached Zhao Shuoer, his voice full of praise and admiration. His smile was as warm as the spring breeze, as if he and Zhao Shuoer were old acquaintances.
Zhao Shuoer was a little overwhelmed by this sudden enthusiasm. She frowned slightly, her heart full of doubts. This An Yuesheng had no intersection with her on weekdays, why was he so attentive today?
"Mr. An, you are too kind. Shuoer is just a weakling. How dare I be compared with the beauties in the garden. "
Although Zhao Shuo'er was confused in his heart, he still maintained a decent smile on his face.
An Yuesheng did not seem to notice Zhao Shuo'er's alienation and continued to praise him.
"Princess, you are too modest. Your beauty and talent are enough to make all the flowers in this garden pale in comparison."
After these words came out, not only Zhao Shuo'er felt puzzled, but even Qin Xixi on the side could not help but look at An Yuesheng with strange eyes.
[No way, although An Yuesheng wants to please Zhao Shuoer, the tone of his praise is a little too greasy, isn't it? It's really hard to bear.]
Although Zhao Shuoer is a confident and proud woman, and she likes to hear compliments from others on weekdays, but at this moment, facing An Yuesheng's continuous compliments, she actually felt a little impatient. Those words gradually lost their original color in her ears and became boring.
She couldn't help thinking, "This An Yuesheng, why is he so noisy, it's like he has memorized a lot of templates, the endless compliments are really hard to deal with. "
However, she thought that An Yuesheng was the nephew of Concubine An after all, and his status was special, so she couldn't easily show him a bad face.
Zhao Shuoer had to be patient and continue to deal with An Yuesheng. She smiled lightly and tried to divert the topic to other places, but An Yuesheng always managed to cleverly bring the topic back to her and continue his praise.
To be honest, if it was someone else, Zhao Shuoer would have thrown the person away by now. We are in the lake. How can people talk so much here without getting to the point?
Zhao Shuo'er knew that this was Anyuesheng's blind date party, but Zhao Shuo'er didn't like Anyuesheng. If Anyuesheng continued to talk nonsense with her, Zhao Shuo'er would directly reject him without caring about his face.
Seeing that Zhao Shuo'er was getting more and more impatient, Xiao Xixi felt a little funny.
[Hahaha, it seems that if you don't love someone, you don't love them. It's very obvious whether you love them or not. Zhao Shuo'er doesn't have any feelings for An Yuesheng at all!]
Xiao Xixi listened to An Yuesheng's sweet words and despised him in her heart.
It seemed like he had said these words many times, to countless people. It was like a template, without any real feelings. Even if Zhao Shuo'er didn't like her elder brother, she definitely wouldn't like An Yuesheng.
Seeing Zhao Shuoer becoming increasingly impatient, Xixi interrupted An Yuesheng at the right time.
