Shen Miao stood up and there was a slight smile on her face, "Ba Jiao and the rest are still waiting outside. Let's go."
The few of them went out together and indeed saw that the horse carriage was already prepared at the door with Ba Jiao and Xi Xiang guarding outside. Jing Zhe asked curiously, "Is His Highness not going with Furen?"
Xi Xiang replied somewhat awkwardly, "His Highness had already gone first and let this subordinate come over to pick up Furen."
This made others feel that something was wrong. The Prince of First Rank and Wangfei did not go out together but one after the other. Anyone with discerning eyes could see that there must be something wrong with this. Jing Zhe and Gu Yu were somewhat indignant for Shen Miao but Shen Miao said lightly, "Alright, let's set off."
She knew what kind of character Xie Jing Xing had. He was a proud person deep in his bones but sometimes he was as stubborn as a naughty child. She would not fuss over these matters, but when she thought of her "apology" tonight, she felt a sense of unease.
Bi Xiao Lou was the largest and most expensive restaurant in Long Ye. Not to mention the common people, even those high ranking officials would have a lot of face if they wanted to hold a banquet here. Thus to hold a birthday banquet here, it was not just one or two tables but almost the entire restaurant. That was considered to be boundless. The more glorious it was, the more expensive it was. The residence of Prince Rui had held banquets here every year for the past three years, which was enough to see that the residence was overflowing with wealth.
On the main seat, a young man was sitting diagonally as he carelessly listened to everyone's compliments. The purple gold robe almost covered the entire seat. Looking from afar, it was like the flowing night sky, with a kind of gorgeous charm. There were many people toasting and one would naturally be slightly tipsy. However, that pair of peach blossom eyes seemed to be smiling yet not smiling, as if he was slightly drunk but was incomparably clear, making one unable to tell if he was drunk or sober.
There were also females among the guests and when they looked at that young man, they could not help but cast gazes of admiration. This Prince Rui was young and was incomparably handsome. He was full of elegance but had a bit of evil charm, which was the type that females were most infatuated with. In addition to his noble status and wealth, he was the type that one would want to rush to his side no matter what.
It was a pity that he had already married a wife at such a young age, and she was even a legitimate Princess. But … although there was a princess, the position of concubine was still empty. Even if she could not become a side consort, becoming a concubine was something that everyone would fight over.
Lu Wan'er sat beside Lu Furen and her gaze involuntarily went to Xie Jing Xing's side. Two years ago when she saw Xie Jing Xing for the first time, she had already fallen in love with him. At this time, all the males were vulgar and only this person could make her fall in love with him. Unfortunately, the position that she should have stood beside him was occupied by that stupid woman, Shen Miao! Thinking of this, Lu Wan'er was unable to restrain her anger and wished that she could tear Shen Miao into pieces. She had the intention to go over and say a few words to Xie Jing Xing, but right now there were those officials who were fawning over Xie Jing Xing. She was after all an official's young lady, and even if she was more daring, it was impossible for her to fawn over him in front of so many people. He couldn't help but feel a little depressed.
In the blink of an eye, she saw Ye Mei talking to Ye Ke, and Lu Wan'er's face darkened.
As a female, one would always be the most sensitive to the appearance of other females. Lu Wan'er thought that she was pampered and spoiled, eating and wearing the best clothes, so when she looked at the females beside her, she would always look down on them. In the entire Long Ye, she thought that she was not much different from a princess and did not even put the Ye family, which was as famous as the Lu family, in her eyes. This was because the Ye family did not have many descendants and did not have any young ladies.
But now she heard that the Ye family had recognized a son and a daughter who were wandering outside. Originally Lu Wan'er had the mentality of watching a show and wanted to take a look, but after seeing what Ye Mei looked like, she was not happy at all.
