Chapter 182 The Banquet is a Small Melon Field
[I just lack that little bit of kindness and generosity... You are right, kindness can easily cost people's lives, so I'd rather not be kind to save my life! 】
Su Qianqian withdrew her gaze.
The prince at the top let out a sigh of relief, a hint of a smile appearing at the corner of his lips.
[You are talking about this point, I thought it was about the prince's point...] The system felt a little guilty.
[Let me tell you what gossips there are. I’ve been too busy lately to eat any. 】
Su Qianqian sat upright, her eyes moving imperceptibly as she looked at the male guests in the opposite seat. She discovered that one of them was Prince Ping, who was staring at her intently.
[You won’t recognize me, will you? I still owe you money…]
Su Qianqian turned her eyes away without saying a word.
[Prince Ping was not supposed to attend originally, as he was seriously injured. However, he found a way to get the current Miss Xue, Xue Zhiqing, to send an invitation to him and Princess Meng Yun, so that he could attend the banquet despite his injuries.
Prince Ping probably won't recognize you because your makeup is now more stable and you won't get moles easily, but your bone structure is still the same as Young Master Su's. 】
The system explained to Su Qianqian.
[It doesn't matter. Even if the facts are right in front of me, I won't admit it. This is one of the skills I have learned through hard work. 】
Su Qianqian shamelessly assured the system.
[The people who came today have really complicated feelings!] King Jing practiced in front of the mirror in his bedroom for several hours, and his face became stiff when he smiled. But when he saw Xue Zhiqing, his smile was uglier than crying! The young master of the Xue family thought that King Jing had some strange disease. 】
The system starts with King Jing.
[The Imperial Concubine was under house arrest, and Prince Jing and Princess Zhaoning would be talked about by other princes and princesses. It was normal for him not to laugh. Besides, his cousin said to change and he didn't know who his heart was leaning towards. It was not surprising that he laughed like crying. 】
King Jing's eyes lit up as he sat there: Finally someone understood his feelings...
[King Xiang and King Jing had different moods. They came to comfort Xue Wanning. In addition to feeling distressed, they also felt sorry for her. Why should such an outstanding woman have such a rough life? What she lost she gave back with her own hands! 】
The system spoke vividly and emotionally, and Prime Minister Xue and Madam Xiao both looked over.
[How do you know what King Xiang is thinking?] Su Qianqian was puzzled. The system could only see the facts but could not know what other people were thinking.
[Guessed.] 】The system answered with confidence.
【cut! 】Su Qianqian rolled her eyes in her heart.
Everyone who heard: Tsk!
[Princess Zhaoyang has not had a good time these days. Daliang wants to form an alliance with Qin and Jin. Although a defeated country cannot ask its legitimate princess to marry, it may not be impossible to do so in order to maintain long-term stability and show the magnanimity of a great country.
Princess Zhaoning was even more trembling with fear. She had recently sent messages back to the Duke of Min's Mansion, hoping to ask her in-laws to arrange a marriage for her so as not to displease the emperor.
However, the person in charge of the Duke of Min's Mansion now is her uncle. For the safety of the Duke's Mansion, her aunt secretly intercepted the letter sent by Princess Zhaoning.
Princess Zhaoning came to the banquet this time to take the opportunity to spread the message and make plans for herself while the overall situation is still undecided.
Both princesses suffered from heat in their bodies, and in unison they developed blisters on their mouths, dry stools, red eyes, yellow urine, bitter taste in the mouth, and tinnitus.
It takes an hour to sit and empty the toilet, and my face and neck become red from holding it in. The feces that finally come out are stained with blood, and several toilet stools are broken.
The imperial physician prescribed two doses of laxatives, and the two princesses increased the dosage so that they would not have bad breath when they came to the banquet. But they still sat on the clean tub for an hour and could not get up. This time they felt relieved, hahahaha…]
The system ate the gossip of the two princesses first, and everyone in the audience who could hear it had an indescribable look on their faces. Such vulgar words were not heard on ordinary days.
But why do I secretly feel very satisfied?
By this time, most of the guests had arrived. Prime Minister Xue put away his expression and addressed the guests.
"Everyone, my daughter Zhiqing has a rare fate with my husband and I. She has been wandering outside for more than ten years. Fortunately, she is back home now. Thank you for taking the time to come and congratulate us. My humble husband and I would like to express our gratitude with a little wine and tea."
Prime Minister Xue spoke simply and raised his glass to toast the guests.
Su Qianqian also raised her glass and continued to eat melons while listening to the system.
[Not only did the two princesses have sallow faces, but as the legitimate daughter of Duke Xuan's Mansion, Zhu Jiayi urged the Crown Prince's wife to attend the banquet today.
During this period, her mother did not dare to spend lavishly because she had to pay back the money she owed to the public treasury. Her monthly salary had been spent long ago. She could not eat well or sleep well. She went to her sisters-in-law to ask for money but failed. In her dreams, she thought she was chewing her own hands as if they were pig's trotters.
Look over there, the chicken is already disabled before the feast even starts. 】
Su Qianqian tilted her head slightly as the system spoke. Zhu Jiayi, who was sitting above her, had a calm expression on her face, with her cheeks puffing up occasionally. The leg of the chicken facing downwards on the food table was indeed missing.
[Being able to quietly put the chicken leg into your mouth in full view of everyone is also a skill. 】Su Qianqian admires it.
[However, I had been eating bland food the past few days, and suddenly I ate a big chicken leg, and then I had to make up for it before the meal. I was afraid that she would be busy later. 】
The system's voice was somewhat sinister.
[Zhu Jiayi has reached the age for marriage. Lady Xuanguo asked your sister to bring her to the banquet because she wanted her to show off in front of the young masters. I'm afraid this will bring shame to the Xuanguo Mansion. 】
Su Xinxin winked at Su Qianqian across Zhu Jiayi, and the two sisters exchanged glances across the air.
[Whether Zhu Jiayi is embarrassed or not has nothing to do with her sister, but for the sake of Youcheng and Youhuan, her sister will not let Zhu Jiayi be too embarrassed. 】
Su Qianqian smiled and looked away.
At the host's seat at the head of the table, Xue Zhiqing stood up and bowed to the guests, trying her best to behave like a lady from a noble family.
"Zhiqing thanks her father and mother. Although she suffered a lot in her childhood, now she has finally reaped the rewards of her hardship. It is also Zhiqing's blessing to be able to sit in front of her parents and enjoy their happiness.
Zhiqing also thanks everyone present. It is an honor for Zhiqing to attend the banquet at her invitation. ”
Xue Zhiqing bowed and sat back. Su Qianqian noticed that her hands were tightly holding the handkerchief and she was obviously very nervous.
The expression on Mrs. Xiao's face was gentle and doting. After Xue Zhiqing sat down, she reached out and held her hand, giving her a look of encouragement and praise.
However, Xue Zhiqing did not look at Madam Xiao, but looked at Prince Xiang Li Yunjin through her father, mother and the prince.
However, Prince Xiang did not even glance at Xue Zhiqing, but kept staring at Xue Wanning with a slightly worried look.
At this time, Xue Wanning and Xue Zhiqing were sitting together. Although they were dressed simply, their inherent nobility and dignity still made Xue Zhiqing pale in comparison.
Xue Zhiqing naturally followed King Xiang's gaze and knew where he was looking, and dark emotions surged in her eyes.
[What's funny is that the man who wanted to get close to Xue Wanning before, the son of the Minister of Works, who is still studying in the Imperial College, was too ashamed to dare to come forward, but when he heard that the two ladies were mistakenly switched, he actually came to the banquet this time.
This man told his parents that he could reluctantly accept an adopted daughter, but she had to put him first in everything. 】
The system makes me want to laugh.
[She also said that the dowry can be ignored, but Prime Minister Xue should take care of his future, hahahaha…]
