Chapter 167: Qixi Festival Feast, Poisonous Scheme (Part 2)



The Qixi Festival banquet finally arrived in a lively and lively atmosphere. Luo Xuening finished dressing up and finally walked out of the courtyard with the help of Luo Xia.

At today's Chinese Valentine's Day banquet, the eldest lady dragged her seriously ill body and brought Luo Xueyao and Luo Xuening with her. The eldest lady sat in the first carriage, and Luo Xueyao had been waiting in the carriage for a long time. Today, she wanted to ride in the same carriage with Luo Xuening.

Thinking that Luo Xuening, a concubine's daughter of humble status, could actually ride in the same carriage with him, wasn't it simply a disgrace to his status?

As soon as Luo Xueyao got on the carriage, she lay down on her side in the not very spacious carriage. More than half of the already narrow carriage was occupied by Luo Xueyao.

When Luo Xuening got on the carriage, she saw Luo Xueyao lying in a very charming manner, and a sneer appeared at the corner of her eyes.

"Sister, you are here. Come and sit down. I am not feeling well today, so I will lie down for a while. Do you need me to give up my seat?"

The words sounded nice, but Luo Xueyao was lying very steadily, with no intention of giving up her seat to Luo Xuening.

Luo Xuening shook her head indifferently, picked a clean place to sit down, closed her eyes and rested, without any intention of talking to Luo Xueyao.

However, Luo Xueyao looked at Luo Xuening who was so calm, and felt anxious: "Sister, this is your first time entering the palace today, right?"

Even though she knew the answer but still asked it deliberately, there was a hint of pride in Luo Xueyao's voice. Luo Xuening nodded indifferently.

"There are many rules in the palace. Don't be nervous when you enter the palace. If you make any mistakes, come find me. The Queen is my aunt, so she will naturally be more tolerant of me because we are sisters."

Luo Xueyao had a very innocent smile on her face. Even though she knew that Luo Xue Ning would not have a good ending after entering the palace, she still couldn't hold back her anger. She wanted to let Luo Xue Ning have a taste of what it felt like to be stepped on under her feet.

Luo Xuening's eyes swept across Luo Xueyao's delicate face. Her makeup today was a bit heavy, which instead overshadowed her originally delicate facial features.

"Thank you, sister."

Her expression was indifferent, and Luo Xue Ning had no intention of chatting with Luo Xue Yao. However, Luo Xue Yao was the only one who was asking for trouble.

"You don't have to be so nervous."

The seemingly comforting words, coming out of Luo Xueyao's mouth, were extremely ironic.

Luo Xuening couldn't stand her. She kept bringing up this matter over and over again. She didn't see herself and didn't want to talk to her any more.

"Why should I be nervous? This is my first time in the palace. Even if there are some rules and etiquette, I think the nobles in the palace are naturally kind-hearted. If it is just a negligence in etiquette, the nobles will definitely hope that I will correct it next time. If I make a big mistake, my sister's identity may not be able to protect me. So, why am I nervous?"

The light question made Luo Xueyao blush. It seemed that she was the one who had never seen the world.

Luo Xueyao snorted softly: "You are quite eloquent, but the nobles don't like you like this."

Luo Xuening smiled, a faint smile that reflected a bit of contempt: "Yes, it's what it should be. You nobles are very insightful."

Luo Xueyao’s face turned pale and she secretly tightened the handkerchief in her hand. Luo Xuening, are you saying that I’m pretending?

The two of them were silent all the way until they reached the palace gate. The road connecting the palace gate and the street was already filled with carriages. These were all ladies and young ladies who came to attend the Qixi Festival banquet.

The carriage was moving smoothly, but suddenly there was a commotion in the front. The two people in the carriage were confused. As people under the emperor's feet, weren't they always careful with their words and actions? How could there be such a big commotion?

Just as he was thinking about it, the Luo family's carriage was suddenly pushed forward by a carriage that arrived behind. The horses pulling the carriage were frightened and ran forward a few steps. Luo Xue Ning was prepared and quickly grabbed the railing of the carriage to steady herself.

However, Luo Xueyao, who was lying on the carriage, did not have the same good adaptability as Luo Xuening. She was not careful and rolled off the carriage.

"Luoxue Ning, save me."

In a moment of panic, Luo Xueyao reached out to grab Luo Xuening's skirt, but Luo Xuening was not so kind. She moved her body lightly, and Luo Xueyao's forehead was empty. She rolled out of the carriage like a rolling winter melon.

Luo Xueyao uttered a cry of pain. Seeing that Luo Xueyao was about to fall out of the carriage, Luo Xuening paused, then reached out and pulled Luo Xueyao.

"Sister, the carriage is not stable. You have to be careful."

The words were neither salty nor bland, but they were quite infuriating. Luo Xueyao gritted her teeth in anger, but she could only rely on Luo Xuening's strength to stand up.

The bright dress was stained with a little dust. Luo Xueyao brushed the dust off herself and felt regretful. At this time, the outside was already in a state of bustle.

Luo Xuening faintly heard someone paying respects to Prince Jing, and then she understood.

No wonder there was such a commotion just now, it turned out that it was Lord Prince Jing who came.

However, Luoxue frowned. Wasn't it said that Prince Jing never attended such banquets? Why did he come here in person today?

Long Moxun really had no intention of participating in this Qixi Festival banquet, but thinking that Luo Xuening would come to participate today, he could only patiently wait for her.

The sunlight fell on his dark figure. Although he was handsome and elegant, Long Moxun's eyes were cold and he exuded a noble aura that made people feel a little scared even when they were looking at him from a distance. However, this did not prevent everyone from admiring Prince Jing's beauty.

There are some dark green hairs in the messy black hair, and the dark pupils are slightly purple, which makes them look deeper. The cold light in the eyes adds a sense of indifference. The high nose bridge and well-defined lips make people look strong and charming.

The girls from official families were so embarrassed that they lowered their heads and looked timidly at Prince Jing.

However, Long Moxun had never had any feelings for those women. He walked straight past those admiring or astonished gazes without even glancing at them. However, when he arrived at the carriage of the Prime Minister's Mansion, Long Moxun deliberately paused for a moment.

At this time, Luo Xue Ning and Luo Xue Yao got off the carriage. Luo Xue Yao was wearing a long skirt with a pattern of flying birds. The light color made her look more refreshing and lonely among the beautiful girls, just like her.

The fabric of the clothes on Luo Xue Ning's body was specially selected by the Prime Minister. It was not visible when Luo Xue Ning was sitting in the carriage. However, when Luo Xue Ning got off the carriage, the sunlight shone on the fabric of Luo Xue Ning's clothes, and the hem of her skirt was seen to be shining and dazzling. For a moment, even the noble ladies around her turned their eyes to Luo Xue Ning.

"Who is this person?"

Everyone didn't know Luo Xuening and asked questions at the same time. However, when Luo Xueyao got off the carriage with Luo Xuening, everyone became familiar with her.

However, for some reason, on weekdays, when they saw the eldest daughter of the Luo family, they always thought she was beautiful and delicate. But today, they did not have such a feeling. It turned out that beauty is determined by comparison.

Luo Xue Ning and Luo Xue Yao saluted gracefully. Long Mo Xun just glanced at Luo Xue Ning, with a flash of surprise in his eyes, and then he continued to move forward.

It seemed that the person he was looking at just now was not her.

However, when his eyes fell on the woman next to Luo Xuening, Long Moxun paid special attention. It was this woman who actually set her sights on coming to their Prince Jing's Mansion.

You really don't know what's good for you.

Long Moxun concealed the deep meaning in his eyes and walked forward.

But Luo Xueyao's face flushed at this moment. Just now, Prince Jing stopped beside her and looked at her. Prince Jing also cared about her.

Luo Xueyao didn't think her intuition was wrong, because at that time, Prince Jing directly skipped Luo Xuening, and his gaze stayed on her.

Luo Xueyao was secretly delighted, and the joy on her face became even brighter. Of course, she didn't know that she had already been despised by others for her appearance.

"Didn't you say you were in love with me? Now it seems you are a womanizer."
