In the palace, men and women sat at separate tables.
The clan members were sitting in the front hall, which was magnificent. The inner pillars were supported by huge red pillars, each of which was engraved with a swirling golden dragon, which looked lifelike.
Xu Qiudong followed the female official to the Sixth Princess's palace, which was surrounded by pools and the sound of ancient zithers, making it look extremely elegant.
The first thing Xu Qiudong saw when he entered was the eldest princess Song Lanyu, who was surrounded and complimented by some ministers' daughters. Compared to the missing Song Qiuyu, Song Lanyu was more like the protagonist of the banquet.
However, this feeling of being the center of attention came to an abrupt end with the arrival of Xu Qiudong.
After all, the Xu family's strength is there, and the vast majority of young ladies in the capital are headed by Xu Qiudong. After all, their fathers and brothers are all begging for food under Xu Yuren.
"Qiu'er, you're here."
Xu Qiudong nodded as a response, and then walked straight to Song Lanyu.
For some reason, when Song Lanyu met Xu Qiudong's cold gaze, she felt like retreating, but she quickly calmed herself down.
What are you panicking about! Those bandits are all dead, no one will know it was her who did it!
Xu Qiudong saluted politely: "Greetings, Princess."
"Yeah." Song Lanyu clenched the wine glass tightly with her fingers, her eyes dodging, as if she was trying hard to hide something.
"sit."
Xu Qiudong looked around and asked calmly, "Where is the Sixth Princess?"
"Strange, why does the Sixth Princess take so long to change clothes?"
The quiet murmurs in the crowd also made everyone realize that something was wrong.
But royal affairs are inherently complicated, so they can only turn a deaf ear to it.
Song Lanyu finally regained her composure, unable to find a single mistake. "Someone, go find the Sixth Princess."
That caring look really makes her look like a good sister who cares about her younger sister.
Song Lanyu made such a big noise that the whole palace was in chaos, as if she was afraid that others didn't know that something was going to happen.
Xu Qiudong took advantage of the chaos and left the palace.
The sky is blue,
The red walls, golden roof and long walkways under the palace walls make the palace look like a cage.
"I've offended the Sixth Princess."
The tip of Xu Qiudong's ear moved slightly. Her hearing was more developed than that of ordinary people.
Following the sound in the distance, we came to a rockery and saw a little palace maid stealthily leading a man dressed as a guard into a side hall.
The two of them looked sneaky and it was obvious that they were not good people.
Xu Qiudong moved to follow them, standing at the foot of the wall and eavesdropping on their conversation.
[Good Deeds Mission: Save the young girl from the wolf's mouth.]
"Hurry up, the show is about to begin."
The man laughed obscenely, and just as his dirty hands approached Song Qiujue, there was a "bang" and the door of the side hall was kicked open.
The young palace maid and the guards were stunned.
"Let her go!"
Xu Qiudong stood up righteously and faced them bravely.
Tsk, why am I such a nice person!
The guard recognized Xu Qiudong at a glance. He shrank back a few steps, wanting to escape from this place, but the little palace maid gritted her teeth and hardened her heart.
"Kill her."
The guard was a little bit incredulous. He looked at the maid in surprise and confirmed with the little maid: "Killed? Don't you know she is..."
The little palace maid was ruthless and said lightly: "Kill him!"
The guard was afraid of Xu Yuren's power from the Xu family, so he didn't dare to move and took a few steps back.
