This farce between Luo Xueyao and the eldest lady was really of no use to the whole Qixi banquet.
In the absence of Luo Xueyao and the eldest lady, all the nobles who came to the Qixi Festival banquet to find their ideal husbands were naturally very happy. Without Luo Xueyao, who was looking for a strong competitor, they would be too comfortable.
Looking at Luo Xueyao's back as she was dragged away by the eldest lady, everyone smiled knowingly.
Luo Xue Ning, naturally, also sat upright in her seat. She raised the white jade wine glass in her hand and took a sip secretly.
There was a smug smile at the corner of his lips.
The eldest lady would never have imagined that the person who exchanged Luo Xueyao's handkerchief with the eldest lady's handkerchief was none other than Lyuyi, Luo Xueyao's unfavored and second-favored maid.
Luo Xueyao would never have thought that the maid Lv Yi, whom she thought was loyal to her, had actually been convinced by Luo Xuening a long time ago.
She waited by Luo Xueyao's side, waiting for the opportunity to act.
Luo Xueyao and the eldest lady and her daughter never took the people who served them seriously. Whenever something went wrong, they would always let the servants take the blame for them.
The servants are not fools. A wise bird will choose the right tree to roost in. Naturally, the servants do not want to serve a master who does not treat them as human beings.
Therefore, once their interests conflict with those of their masters, they will rebel.
So, Luoxue stared at the backs of the eldest lady and Luo Xueyao and sneered secretly. The two of them really couldn't blame others for betraying them. It was all their own fault.
As soon as Luo Xueyao and the eldest lady left, the atmosphere at the scene was stagnant for a few breaths. However, when the queen announced that everyone could walk around the Yu Garden on their own, everyone immediately became excited.
The previous episode was completely ignored. What they cared about now was the upcoming trip to Yu Garden.
If they are lucky enough to meet their ideal person, that would be truly their luck.
Looking at the noble ladies present, they began to smile excitedly with their handkerchiefs covering their faces. Some of them even started to talk about which prince or princess they hoped to meet in the Yu Garden.
Luo Xuening really had no interest in this. She just sighed helplessly and followed the nobles and ladies at the end to the Yu Garden.
I thought to myself, the Qixi Festival banquet in the palace is just like a modern blind date. If you are attracted to each other, you can exchange contact information. Maybe, in a few days, you can propose marriage.
Without any basis of understanding, can such love last long?
Although Luo Xue Ning does not deny that there are many couples who get together through blind dates, but ultimately, Luo Xue Ning does not like this way.
However, since she had been targeted by the Queen, Luo Xuening had no choice but to attend the Qixi Festival banquet whether she liked it or not. At this time, she dared not express her personality and could only follow the crowd.
As soon as they entered the garden, the ladies who had been very reserved just now could no longer remain calm.
They walked in the Yu Garden in groups of three or four, and some of them would even ask the palace maids passing by if they had seen which young master passed by here.
Thus, a romantic encounter can be created.
The idea was very nice, but unfortunately, the reality was that the two princes who were always talked about by the noble ladies, Prince Shou and Prince Jing, had no intention of participating in this Qixi feast.
So, when they saw those noble ladies coming in twos and threes, the two brothers tacitly moved to a small path on the side, trying their best to avoid meeting those people.
Of course, with the skills of Prince Jing and Prince Shou, there are plenty of ways to avoid the pursuit of these noble ladies.
Luo Xue Ning dodged and retreated to a small path as soon as she entered the Yu Garden.
Luo Xuening didn't know the way, but she went to remote places with few people. Her purpose, like Prince Jing's, was to avoid meeting others.
She really had no interest in such a banquet.
The evening breeze blew through the garden, and the moonlight sprinkled down, reflecting on the lotus pond beside it. From time to time, bursts of flower fragrance wafted in, and occasionally, there were also frogs croaking and insects chirping.
Luo Xuening sat alone by the pond, feeling the evening breeze, calculating the time while her eyes moved across the bustling night.
At this time, the bored Shou Wang, Long Lingxun, also picked a deserted road and saw Yu Ge's daughter, sitting quietly and leisurely in the pavilion beside the pond in the cover of night.
There was a long chair in the pavilion. The woman was probably tired. After sitting there alone for a while, she simply wiped the chair and lay down.
Long Lingxun only felt that the woman's back was very familiar, but he actually didn't find it disgusting.
Regardless of whether the woman appeared here intentionally or unintentionally, at least at this moment, Long Lingxun felt that she was different from others. At least, she was more interesting and smarter than those ladies who were only concerned with following in his footsteps.
As he approached with his robe lifted, when Long Lingxun saw the face of the woman sitting on the bench clearly, he was startled and a hint of joy appeared in his eyes.
It turned out to be Luo Xue Ning?
It's really a fate.
People may not know why the Queen would send an invitation to Luo Xuening alone for the Qixi Festival banquet, and why she took such good care of Luo Xuening at the Qixi Festival banquet. It was all because Long Lingxun unconsciously mentioned Luo Xuening to the Queen.
The queen was so angry that she wanted to meet this person who was praised by her son to see what he looked like.
Luo Xuening has always been a light sleeper, but today, perhaps it was because the night breeze was blowing on Luo Xuening, making her too leisurely, and for a moment, she forgot about the danger.
Long Lingxun stared at Luo Xue Ning for dozens of breaths. Long Lingxun deliberately restrained his breath, but Luo Xue Ning was still alert and woke up when Long Lingxun moved slightly.
Opening her clear eyes, Luo Xuening blinked uncomfortably, as if she was still not sure who the person in front of her was.
However, Luo Xuening quickly regained her senses, quickly stood up, and knelt down with her luggage in front of Long Lingxun.
"I have seen the prince..."
However, Luo Xuening felt a numbness under her feet. She stood up too quickly, causing her feet to go soft and she actually fell to the ground.
Long Lingxun's eyebrows moved, and he quickly reached out and supported Luo Xuening: "Be careful."
What he held in his hands was Luo Xuening's slender waist, soft and with a hint of the unique fragrance of a young girl. The evening breeze blew past, making the fragrance of Luo Xuening's body even more penetrating.
This made Long Lingxun feel a little distracted for a moment. In a rare incident, the roots of his ears actually began to turn slightly red.
A flash of anger flashed across Long Lingxun's eyes, but then he smiled knowingly.
Luo Xuening frowned, twisted her waist, and lightly moved her lotus steps, putting a distance of one person between herself and Long Lingxun.
The warm and soft touch on his hand suddenly disappeared, and Long Lingxun actually felt a little lost.
"Everyone is in the garden, why are you here alone?"
This question is very difficult to answer. Luo Xuening can't blatantly tell Prince Shou that she didn't like the Qixi Festival banquet held by his mother and that's why she ran here alone to hide.
No, answering like that would be too hurtful. Prince Shou might be unhappy again, and if he's not careful, he might go to the Queen to complain.
Luo Xuening raised the corners of her lips, a relaxed smile spreading across her face.
"Why? My reason is the same as yours."
