Xu Bailu hurriedly changed into her favorite clothes and put on her favorite pearl hairpin.
Her mother said that no matter what time, the most important thing for a woman is to get the favor of a man. There are many ways to get favor, and appearance is one of the shortcuts.
So she learned how to dress herself since she was young, and her mother never cared about Xu Zhiyi.
She knew very well that she could not compare to Xu Zhiyi's appearance, but fortunately they were not of the same type.
After they had dressed up, the two of them followed the little palace maid who came to lead them into the banquet.
Men and women sit opposite each other on either side.
Xu Zhiyi followed his uncle's status and sat in a relatively front seat, diagonally facing Xu Lian and Li Jingxuan across a wide aisle.
Because Xu Bailu's status was slightly lower than Xu Zhiyi's, she sat behind her.
Li Jingxuan naturally saw Xu Zhiyi sitting opposite him. He had specially put on a new crescent-shaped white robe today and straightened his back.
Picking up a glass of wine and drinking it slowly, she looked across at me. She was wearing a fresh and elegant emerald green today, and she looked so elegant no matter how she looked at her.
Xu Bailu felt someone looking at her from the opposite side. She was a young lady in the boudoir, and while she was thinking about it, she felt that the hairpin on her head was not as beautiful as Xu Zhiyi's. She would definitely ask her mother to buy her a more expensive set when she got home, so as not to lose face.
She raised her head slightly and saw that the Ningguo Marquis's son opposite her seemed to be looking at her.
Her heart began to beat wildly, and the corners of her mouth began to rise, forming the most graceful arc. If both of them liked her, which one should she choose?
After thinking for a while, she still felt that Li Jingxuan was better. She only heard that her sister liked Li Jingxuan, so he must be a good person.
Thinking of this, he felt relieved. He had heard that the son of the Ningguo Marquis was a scoundrel, so he must avoid him later.
Amidst the wine and the lights, the emperor walked in from outside.
He has a handsome face and gives off a gentle and elegant air, but when he stands in front of you, even without saying a word, you can feel the pressure from the emperor.
There is a hint of arrogance and abstinence in her temperament.
Xu Zhiyi looked up from below and saw that the emperor looked completely different from the one on the bed that day.
Feels a bit stuffy.
I counted on my fingers and it has been more than half a month. It’s time to go again.
She lowered her eyes again. Now was not the time for him to notice.
The emperor looked down and saw a crowd of women, and he felt dizzy instantly.
Ever since he had that dream last time, he thought he was fine, so he went back to the harem and suppressed his physical impulses and tested two concubines, but still failed.
God knows how upset he has been recently, and what’s even more annoying is that he dreamed about that person several times afterwards.
He felt that she was his turning point, but he couldn't see her face clearly in his dreams, as she was always covered by a veil.
I'm so upset.
He drank the glass of wine on the table in one gulp.
He said a few more simple words, asked everyone to start eating, and then he walked out.
Everyone started eating.
Xu Zhiyi looked at the dishes on the table. The bird's nest cheese dish was the most delicious. He ate it bite by bite.
Li Jingxuan looked at her from the opposite side, staring at her in amazement as she ate like a cute little rabbit, her bright red lips opening and closing.
Xu Bailu was eating slowly and chewing her food. She always felt that someone was looking at her from the front, so she raised her head quietly.
Oh my god, the prince was actually looking at her intently.
How could a girl like her let others look at her like this? The sip of fruit wine she just took seemed to make her go to her head instantly, and her face turned a light pink.
Feeling that the other person was still looking at her, her chopsticks began to tremble. She was so embarrassed that she felt too embarrassed to eat.
Just put down your chopsticks.
I coughed lightly and drank some water. What should I do?
He flirted with me like this in front of my sister.
Doesn't this destroy their sisterhood?
Does this count as liking yourself?
Well, why not?
Wang Qingran, the sister next to her, saw Xu Bailu's face flushed red as if she was very hot, and asked hurriedly:
"Bai Lu, are you drunk? That fruit wine may look low in alcohol, but it actually has a strong aftertaste. You should drink less. If you can't drink it, go back first."
Bai Lu quickly shook her head. She still had to stay here and communicate with the prince.
Her mother said that what men like most is the look of someone wanting to say something but not being able to, so she put on her best attitude.
Wang Qingran was stunned for a moment:
"Are you really drunk? It seems your reaction has slowed down."
Xu Bailu's face immediately turned from red to white, and he really wanted to curse.
But the prince was watching, so he held it in and turned aside, unwilling to communicate with Wang Qingran.
Li Jingxuan on the opposite side saw that Xu Zhiyi had almost finished the plate of golden bird's nest cheese. He was still eating the last piece with shining eyes, and he ate much slower than before.
She called the palace maid and asked her to deliver another plate to Xu Zhiyi.
Xu Lian clenched the jade pendant in his hand.
God knows how much he wanted her when he gave Xu Zhiyi the sachet today and smelled the sweet fragrance on her body.
He took a deep breath and calmed himself down.
The palace servant then served Xu Zhiyi a plate of golden bird's nest cheese.
Xu Zhiyi was a little confused. How could someone see her eating the whole plate?
"Why did you bring me another plate?"
"The prince across the street wants it."
Bai Lu was right behind her, so she naturally heard it clearly.
I felt a pang of anxiety, wondering if he had given his bird's nest cheese to someone else. I was eating it when he first looked at me.
She usually likes sweets, and she only ate the dessert on the table.
The little palace maid who was doing the work couldn't help but feel angry.
