"Since wang ye wants you to attend, then you have to perform well," Qin Bai Lu fiddled with the nails that she had just dyed yesterday. She looked at Qu Yue Su who was standing in front of her, "I heard that your zither skills are outstanding. If there's a chance later, play a song for everyone."
Qu Yue Su's hands, hidden in her sleeves, clenched. She knew that Madam Qin was mocking her, but she had no choice. She endured the bitterness in her heart and bowed: "This servant will remember."
"En," Qin Bai Lu nodded. She raised her chin and said, "Today, there are many honored guests. Pay attention to your words and actions. Don't lose face for the wang fu." Finishing, she did not look at Qu Yue Su and held the yahuan's hand as she walked away.
"Zhuzi," Yao Xi saw that Qu Yue Su's expression wasn't right and hurriedly supported her, "Don't be angry, wang fei is just jealous that you are favored."
Qu Yue Su gave a bitter smile and sat down on the chair. She turned her head to look at the Jiao Wei Qin on the stand. A few days ago, his highness had sent someone to give her this qin and she had been happy for several days. So this precious qin was just for her to perform like a singer today.
Madam Qin treated her as a thorn in her side, so she had to be an eyesore!
Qu Yue Su loosened her grip and sat in front of the mirror. She looked at herself in the mirror and squeezed out a smile. "Yao Xi, help me put on makeup."
She wanted to let the Qin family see who would have the last laugh.
Coming to Rui Wang Fu again, Qu Qing Ju felt that her attitude was slightly different from last time. She held He Heng's hand as they got off the carriage. Looking at the two majestic stone lions at the gates of the wang fu, she tilted her head to whisper in He Heng's ear: "After a few days, I will also hold a banquet and have these people sit in carriages and come to our fu." Riding in a carriage wasn't something to be happy about. She felt that she had to let others do it for her in order to feel better.
He Heng smiled as he glanced at her, his gaze sweeping across the tassels hanging from the sides of her hair. He also said in a low voice: "Alright, when we get back, we will tell the people to start preparing."
Qu Qing Ju noticed his gaze and used a handkerchief to cover the corner of her mouth: "Are you satisfied with what you see?" Qu Qing Ju felt a bit domineering when she said the words that the male lead loved to say to the female lead in the novel.
"Very satisfied. Qing Ju is even more beautiful than usual today." He Heng cooperatively followed up even though he didn't understand why his wang fei's eyes had suddenly become especially spirited.
"This one greets Duan Wang Ye and Duan Wang Fei. Quick, come in," The steward of the wang fu saw the two get off the carriage and hurriedly bowed as he walked in front of the two, "Wang ye has been waiting for you two to come."
"Isn't this He Fu Er? Why are you the guest?" This He Fu Er was the Third Prince's personal eunuch. He usually served the Third Prince. It was rare for the Third Prince to send him out to greet him.
"It is this one's good fortune to be able to come and greet wang ye," He Fu Er bowed and made an inviting gesture, "As long as wang ye and wang fei do not find this one an eyesore."
He Heng nodded. Holding Qu Qing Ju's hand, he stepped through the gates of Rui Wang Fu.
"Are they King Duan and Princess Duan?" Tian Jin Ke and Tian Luo shi got off the carriage and coincidentally saw He Fu Er welcoming the two in. Tian Jin Ke looked at the backs of the two and said to Tian Luo shi beside him, "Furen, look."
Hearing this, Tian Luo shi looked over. She only saw the backs of the two flashing through the gates. She hesitantly nodded: "It looks similar. Qing Ju yatou's presence is becoming more and more imposing."
"The one leading the way is He Fu Er from the side of Rui Wang Hall. It must be correct," Tian Jin Ke saw someone come out to greet them and walked shoulder to shoulder with Tian Luo shi towards the gates, "People have to grow up one day."
Tian Luo shi smiled: "That's good." In the Imperial Family, it was better to have an imposing presence. She had originally been worried that Qing Ju would be disdained because of the matter with the Qu Family san xiaojie. Seeing that Qing Ju was living well, she was reassured.
Thinking about what the Qu Family had done, Tian Luo shi couldn't help but frown. They were a respectable family, how could they do such a thing? It wasn't that they couldn't live anymore, why rush to give someone a qie. Was it because being a qie for wang ye made them superior? In this Jing City, a di daughter of a duke's fu, even if the other was a wang ye, it was still a joke.
He Fu Er followed half a step behind Qian Chang Xin, Ming He and the others. Looking at the backs of Duan Wang and Duan Wang Fei walking together, he couldn't help but sigh. If his wang ye and wang fei could be so close, as servants, they wouldn't have to suffer so much.
This Duan Wang Fei was really pretty, Duan Wang was really willing. The jewels on the comb were so bright, how many good things had been wasted to achieve such an effect?
But this woman, she had to be like this to be interesting. He might be a useless taijian, but he was at least half a man. If a woman like Duan Wang Fei was more skilled, the qieshi of Duan Wang Fu wouldn't have a place to stand.
When he led them to their destination, He Fu Er cleverly retreated. Before he left, he even received a pouch from Duan Wang Fei. Even though he didn't care for this little thing, at least she looked at a taijian like him, didn't she?
By this time, there were many men and women sitting in the pear blossom forest. Hearing the taijian announce that Duan Wang had arrived, they all stood to welcome him. He Yuan and Qin Bai Lu personally walked a few extra steps to the entrance to wait for the two to come.
The moment she saw Qu Qing Ju, the smile on Qin Bai Lu's face cooled. She had always looked down on women who only knew how to dress but didn't have any inner qualities. But Qu Qing Ju kept dressing prettier and prettier every time she appeared in front of her.
Some women wearing dresses with a hundred flowers and butterflies were gaudy, some women wearing them were beautiful. He Yuan's gaze swept across Qu Qing Ju beside He Heng, his eyebrow slightly moving. It had only been a short time since they last met, but this er sao of his seemed to have gotten prettier.
Noticing He Yuan's gaze, He Heng carelessly let go of Qu Qing Ju's hand. He took a step forward and coincidentally walked in front of Qu Qing Ju. He smiled at He Yuan as he said: "Today I have troubled san di, san dimei."
"Er ge is too polite. Why don't you drink with me?" He Yuan made an inviting gesture, indicating for He Heng to sit with him on the left. Even though the banquet wasn't specially separated, but the men gathered on the left to drink wine, the women on the right to drink tea and eat desserts.
He Heng's smile didn't change: "Then yu xiong will respectfully accept." Finishing, he turned to Mu Jin and the others, "Serve wang fei well."
"Yes," Mu Jin and the others bowed, "Wang ye, don't worry."
He Heng nodded before walking with He Yuan towards the tables and chairs that had been set up on the left. Very quickly, the male guests that had already arrived came forward to greet him. After a flurry of activity, the two He brothers finally sat down.
"Er ge is becoming more considerate to his own people," He Yuan raised a wine cup towards him and took a small sip himself, "No wonder the entire Jing City praises er ge and er sao as a rare good couple."
"San di is drunk," He Heng raised his cup and took a small sip, "Isn't it normal for men to treat their own people well? What's there to talk about?"
He Yuan's lips curled, his gaze unconsciously starting to search for Qu shi's figure. Just as he saw a shadow, before he could take a closer look, a wine cup appeared in front of his eyes.
"San di's fu's pear blossoms are so beautiful. Let's drink another cup," He Heng smiled as he raised his wine cup, "Such a beautiful scene, if we don't drink, it would be a waste."
"That's true," He Yuan took his gaze back and smiled as he started to drink with He Heng.
Qu Qing Ju had originally wanted to sit down with Qin Bai Lu but seeing Tian Luo shi also walk over, she took a few steps towards Tian Luo shi and helped her up: "I didn't see jiumu just now. Otherwise, I would have come in with you."
Tian Luo shi smiled warmly and held her hand as they walked to the table. She patted the back of her hand, remarking: "Wang fei walked in front, she wouldn't know what happened behind."
The other womenfolk came forward to greet Qu Qing Ju. Their gazes were both shocked and envious as they swept across Qu Qing Ju's entire body. They all sighed. Once Duan Wang Fei appeared, they all paled in comparison. Even Rui Wang Fei, who was standing at the side, seemed slightly dull.
Qin Bai Lu noticed the gazes of the womenfolk and the smile on her face became even uglier. Coincidentally, she heard someone announce that Jin An Princess had arrived and turned to welcome Jin An Princess. She didn't even want to look at Qu Qing Ju and didn't want to stand with her.
"Er dimei has already arrived?" When Jin An Princess came in, she smiled as she walked next to Qu Qing Ju and Tian Luo shi. She examined Qu Qing Ju and sighed: "In the past, when people described beauties, they liked to say they were exquisite and unparalleled. Ben gong always thought it was exaggerated. Seeing er dimei today, I feel that those words aren't deceiving me. Such a peerless beauty."
"Jiejie, don't tease me in front of so many people. In the future, how can I have the face to go out," Qu Qing Ju pretended to lower her head, "You see that I'm easy to bully and purposefully humiliate me."
"Don't be angry. If this beautiful face doesn't come out for ben gong to see in the future, wouldn't it make ben gong unable to eat, unable to sleep?" Jin An Princess curtsied, "Jiejie is apologizing to you here. My good dimei, don't be angry."
"Where did this lecher come from, so frivolous that it makes people laugh." Qu Qing Ju pretended to lightly push Jin An Princess and then shyly covered her face as she sat down at the side.
The womenfolk at the side saw this scene and all covered their faces in laughter. But inside, they were shocked at the closeness between Jin An Princess and Duan Wang Fei. Rui Wang Fei who was sitting at the side didn't seem like a family.
"Beauty, don't be angry, don't be angry. Ben gong will pour tea for you as an apology," Jin An Princess really poured tea for Qu Qing Ju and bowed like a man, "Please."
Qu Qing Ju instantly smiled and raised the teacup to drink half a mouthful: "En, your skills aren't bad. I'll keep you as a servant to make tea. Are you willing?" She could detect Jin An Princess' closeness. Even though she didn't know what the other's intentions were, it was clear that there wasn't any malice. She was happy to accept this kindness.
"Beauty's orders, I don't dare to disobey." The smile on Jin An Princess' face became even brighter.
Qin Bai Lu looked coldly at the exchange between Jin An Princess and Qu Qing Ju. A cold smile appeared on her face. Wang ye had told her to get closer to Jin An Princess, but when the other came, she went with Qu shi. What could she do?
When most of the guests had arrived, Qin Bai Lu finally opened: "It's rare for everyone to come to our fu. Our fu has prepared some songs and dances for everyone to enjoy. Please do not dislike them." When she finished, she clapped her hands. Everyone saw a plainly dressed female come out holding a Jiao Wei qin.
When the plainly dressed female sat down, everyone didn't know what expression to show. Because this female was the third miss of the Qu Family.
It had to be said that the third miss of the Qu Family could be considered Duan Wang Fei's meimei. Rui Wang Fei letting someone come out to perform, was there any suspicion of embarrassing Duan Wang and Duan Wang Fei?
Qu Qing Ju ignored the gazes that were sizing her up. She smiled at Jin An Princess and Tian Luo shi beside her: "This tea isn't bad. The fragrance lingers in the mouth, it really isn't bad." Before, He Yuan had used this move on the pleasure boat. Qin Bai Lu had come again. Didn't this couple have any other moves to attack their opponent?
This kind of attack power was ineffective against her and He Heng!
