Chapter 1061 Goodbye Xing Niaoniao
At this moment, Lin Yuanzhi had no time to stop Jiang Qingyin from leaving.
He just looked at Jiang Qingyin's wolf-like back as she walked away, and thought of the sad words she had just said to him.
When he lowered his head, his eyes fell on the jade pendant on his waist again. He even wanted to tear it off from his body. However, he thought that today was a palace banquet, so he stopped thinking about it.
However, he was too hasty in his actions just now, and his clothes were a little messy.
So now, he had to go back to the carriage to change his clothes.
Lu Xingwan was still sitting on the city wall, swinging her legs like this, and her mood was much better than before.
These two dogs, this is just the opening act, there is more to see at the palace banquet!
Lu Xingwan just sat on the city wall and watched the two bastards leave this corner.
Her eyes involuntarily turned to the current palace gate.
She happened to see that An Ziqiu had completely cast off her previous unruly look, and was now as well-behaved as a noble lady in the capital. She stood obediently beside her mother and entered the palace with her.
After watching her enter safely, Lu Xingwan nodded.
Don't worry, this princess will definitely help you accomplish this today.
Her gaze continued to be directed towards the bustling procession of women at the palace gate.
Today I am really dazzled, perhaps because I know that my father attaches great importance to this palace banquet, or perhaps because of Pei Chuyan's marriage proposal.
Most of the noble ladies' clothes are very gorgeous.
Among these noble ladies, Lu Xingwan did not recognize many of them.
Lu Xingwan has always been very puzzled. Logically, the people she knew in the past, such as Shen Baoyan, He Yuyao, and Shen Baoshuang, should be the best.
Even if they are married, they should be able to attend the palace banquet, but now they are not seen.
Now that Pei Chuyan is going to arrange a marriage, He Yuyao, as Pei Chuyan's cousin, should also be a prominent figure.
But she didn't seem to see them at the palace gate.
Lu Xingwan searched the crowd carefully several times.
Most of the ladies brought their daughters with them, and their daughters should be about the same age as themselves.
She listened carefully and it seemed that every woman was accepting the teachings of her mother, and what she was saying was nothing more than some words about abiding by the rules after entering the palace.
Finally, a very familiar face appeared in front of Lu Xingwan, Xing Niaoniao.
After not seeing her for so many years, Xing Niaoniao is no longer the little girl she used to be.
If she remembered correctly, Xing Niaoniao should be five or six years older than her. She also remembered that Lin Yin and He Yunyao followed behind Xing Niaoniao and tried to fawn on her.
But at that time her father was a first-rank official in the Ministry of Justice. After that incident, he was demoted to the position of Vice Minister of the Ministry of Justice.
After that, she didn't investigate Xing Niaoniao's affairs, and didn't know how her father was doing now.
Now Xing Niaoniao looks completely different from before.
She has grown into a graceful young lady. Compared with the domineering look she showed in front of him when she was a child, she is indeed like a different person now.
To be honest, it was Xing Niaoniao's fault for what happened back then.
If she hadn't been so arrogant and shouted at him, his father wouldn't have been demoted because of Xing Niaoniao's involvement.
But I didn’t expect that Xing Niaoniao would return to the capital again.
She still remembered that after Xing Niaoniao went to the mountains to practice Buddhism, she said that she was frightened by Pei Chuyan when he went to the nunnery. Since then, whenever Xing Niaoniao saw Pei Chuyan again, she was like a frightened bird.
To be honest, I thought that after something like this happened, the Xing family might send Xing Niaoniao away from the capital. After all, the capital was a place of right and wrong for her.
But unexpectedly, she would appear in the palace again.
Lu Xingwan sat at the palace gate for a long time. Seeing that there was nothing unusual here, he prepared to set off for Qingyun Palace.
Now that her grandmother and aunt have arrived, she should go and talk to them.
Just when she was about to take a deep breath and rush straight to Qingyun Palace, she noticed a noisy sound coming from the place where the man entered the palace.
She turned around and ran towards that direction.
She was only focused on the excitement on the women's side, and forgot that there was a group of men over there!
After sitting down on the city wall again, Lu Xingwan couldn't help but sigh when he saw the hustle and bustle at the entrance to the palace where the man entered.
In the past, this man loved to belittle women, saying things like women are noisy.
But now it seems that the bustling scene where the man entered the palace and the quietness where the woman was formed a sharp contrast.
It's obviously these men who are the noisy ones.
At this moment, these men clearly regarded the palace gate as a place of fame and fortune, and their compliments were heard one after another.
Lu Xingwan naturally noticed Pei Chuyan who was standing in the center. At this moment, he was surrounded by people like the moon surrounded by stars.
I have to say, Pei Chuyan is still good-looking.
He has a noble temperament and an upright posture, and now he is wearing gorgeous clothes, which makes him look even more majestic.
It seems that he is comparable to Senior Brother Lu.
However, she had a doubt in her mind. According to Pei Chuyan's status and position, he could enter the palace directly through the small door. Why did he have to be so hypocritical with these officials here?
He appeared to be very decent on the surface, but Lu Xingwan could see the annoyance in his eyes.
The ministers asked Pei Chuyan questions one after another.
"I heard that Duke Anguo is discussing marriage recently. Has he chosen someone?"
"I heard that the Queen Mother is interested in the daughter of the Minister of Rites, Jiang Songjiang. Has the Duke of Anguo met her?"
"I heard that His Majesty is interested in Lord Xia Ningxia's daughter."
Lu Xingwan saw Pei Chuyan's brows slightly frowned when he heard these words, and she couldn't help but laugh.
It seems that Pei Chuyan, who always behaves very properly, also can't help himself sometimes.
But for some reason, after Lu Xingwan's chuckle, Pei Chuyan's eyes suddenly looked in her direction.
Lu Xingwan quickly used his spiritual power to hide his body.
Is your voice that loud?
It actually attracted Pei Chuyan's attention. Can he see me?
After taking a look, Pei Chuyan found nothing unusual, so he continued to face the people in front of him and bowed in a steady voice: "Thank you all for your concern for my marriage, but now, I still have no idea."
When he said this, everyone was slightly stunned.
Then they just smiled and looked at him, but where Pei Chuyan couldn't see, they sighed.
