That night, Xie Jing Xing returned and Shen Miao told Xie Jing Xing about the invitation. Xie Jing Xing then told Shen Miao that if she did not want to go, she could decline. Even though the Lu and Ye families were arrogant, they did not dare to shed all pretense of cordiality with the residence of Prince Rui. In other words, Shen Miao had the right to refuse.
Even though she said it like that, Shen Miao did not want to refuse. Know yourself and know the enemy and you will be victorious in a hundred battles. Currently she knew nothing about the situation of the Great Liang and could take this opportunity to understand more. Putting aside the Ye Family, the Lu Family's intentions towards her could be seen clearly from this incident.
Xie Jing Xing naturally would not stop Shen Miao's decision. After the husband and wife discussed for a while, Shen Miao got someone to reply to the invitation saying that she would be punctual for the appointment.
Two days later, it was the day of the Caixia Banquet.
Shen Miao woke up early and when she was eating, Xie Jing Xing was no longer in the residence. It seemed that after returning to the Great Liang, he was very busy every day and would leave early in the day and return home at night. This Imperial City was not as peaceful as it looked on the surface and Shen Miao deeply agreed.
Jing Zhe combed Shen Miao's hair. After she came to the residence of Prince Rui, for convenience, she still used her own personal maid. Speaking of which, there were very few women in the Prince's fu. Other than the kitchen maids and a few nannies, the rest were all men. Heard from Uncle Tang that after Xie Jing Xing returned to the Great Liang two years ago and was conferred the title of Qinwang, he had caught a few spies dressed as maids in the Qinwang residence. He probably felt that the more women there were, the more trouble there would be, and the easier it would be for people with bad intentions to take advantage of them. In the end, the entire prince's residence simply stopped adding more women.
However, it was precisely because of this that the Prince's Mansion was like an impenetrable fortress. For so long, the people outside were jealous and envious, but they couldn't find an exit.
Gu Yu said, "This is Furen's first time attending a banquet in Long Ye so one must dress up beautifully. When others see Furen like this, they would not say anything more and Furen would definitely give our Ming Qi face."
In Long Ye, Xie Jing Xing was considered to be very awe-inspiring. When Jing Zhe and Gu Yu went out to buy things, they heard people discussing that it was Shen Miao who had accumulated good fortune in her previous life that she was able to marry Prince Rui in this lifetime. Jing Zhe and Gu Yu were extremely unconvinced when they heard it. How was their family's Young Lady bad? Even in Ming Qi's Ding capital, she was one of the top Young Ladies. Not to mention that she was intelligent, her temperament was also kind and her bearing was not inferior to a Princess. How could it be said that she was climbing up?
However, one's mouth could not win against others, so one might as well use facts to slap one's face. Gu Yu thought that this time when Shen Miao went to shock everyone, those people would no longer make irresponsible remarks.
"Why do you mind that?" Shen Miao laughed in spite of herself, "They said that it was to make their hearts feel better and would not affect us."
"Furen, what Gu Yu said is right." Jing Zhe was picking hairpins for Shen Miao from the jewellery box as she said, "The limelight cannot fall below others."
Just as they were speaking, one heard Uncle Tang knocking on the door from outside. Shen Miao motioned for him to come in and saw a young female following behind Uncle Tang. She looked to be younger than Shen Miao and was slightly plump. Most likely it was because of her young age but she was extremely likable with a pair of smiling eyes and her lips were wide open, white and tender. In a moment, Shen Miao thought of Su Ming Lang … But it was a female.
"Today Furen is going to Cai Xia's banquet." Uncle Tang smiled, "Young Master had instructed to find a familiar person for Furen to give pointers. This old servant went to bring Ba Jiao Young Lady over. Furen will bring Ba Jiao Young Lady along as a maid so that if one were to meet an unknown person, Ba Jiao Young Lady would explain to you. "
Shen Miao smiled, "Thanking Uncle Tang."
