Let me be a concubine? I turned to someone else's arms

The three of them started eating formally. Wang Xu didn't say anything else. After trying each dish, he nodded repeatedly with a look of surprise on his face.

After lunch, the three of them took a short break and sat there chatting to help digest the food.

In the copper beast stove in the room, the incense is curling up like light smoke and gauze. The breeze passes through the opened curtains, bringing silence to the room.

Three people in the room looked contented. A man was leaning lazily against a table, while a man and a woman were kneeling upright opposite him.

Luo Qin thought of the man in white robe whom she met at the door just now. She always felt that there seemed to be some gap between Cui Jie and Wang Zuo and Xie Yun. They were not as natural as she was with Xie Qi during the outing that day.

So Luo Qin immediately asked: "Wu Lang, the eldest son of the Cui family is also a good friend of yours, right?"

"Cui Jie?" Wang Xu, who was standing opposite him, paused for a moment and said, "The relationship is just so-so."

Luo Qin frowned slightly, "But I met him when Xie Qi and I were outing before, and he was quite enthusiastic about Xie Qi..."

But today he feels weird.

"He is like that towards people who are less famous than himself. It can't be said to be enthusiastic, it's just a normal greeting." Wang Xu didn't care.

In fact, what he was thinking in his heart was that Cui Jie had always been proud of herself, but among the four healthy beauties, Xie Yun was the most famous, Wang Zuo was the second, and he was the third. As for the Second Prince Jin Zhao, because he lived a secluded life, even though he was a member of the royal family, his fame was not as great as those three sons of aristocratic families.

It was precisely for this reason that the conceited Cui Jie could not stand the fact that Xie Yun and Wang Zuo, two younger people than him, were more famous than him, and he never opened up to them.

"But isn't the wife of Mr. Cui a daughter of your Wang family?" Luo Qin asked again.

"Hey, my uncle has chosen Mr. Cui and wants to marry my cousin to him."

So what if there is a marriage? Cui Jie still has a grudge against him.

In fact, Wang Xu could roughly guess the reason why Cui Jie was like this. It was nothing more than that Cui Jie, as the heir of the Qinghe Cui family, had studied hard since childhood. However, because his family background was not as good as the two of them, his fame was naturally lagging behind, and he was unwilling to accept this.

In fact, Cui Jie was polite to everyone, except for those two, who she felt a little unnatural.

Today, Cui Jie and the two of them seemed to be doing well on the surface, but unfortunately, there was Luo Qin following them. Cui Jie couldn't show her dissatisfaction with them, so she turned and pointed at Luo Qin. Luo Qin also realized that Cui Jie was a little weird today.

After Luo Qin found out from Wang Xu that Cui Jie had a general relationship with the two of them, he stopped asking questions.

Wang Jue is a gentleman. A gentleman sits quietly and reflects on his own mistakes, and does not discuss right and wrong with others. He will not gossip about others behind their backs. Luo Qin has made up his mind.

The three of them changed the topic, rested for a while, and then went back to their homes.

After returning to Luo Mansion, a servant came to report that the queen had summoned him.

Female monarch?

The queen of the first house is Xia, the wife of the first house master.

Luo Qin immediately changed her clothes and went to pay a visit with her maid.

The girl had a graceful figure and walked with brisk steps. Two maids followed closely beside her, and the three of them shuttled through the magnificent and splendid mansion.

The courtyard is deep, with winding paths leading to secluded places, and pavilions and towers scattered throughout the area, sparkling brightly in the sun.

They walked slowly along the winding path, as if they were strolling in a beautiful painting.

Luo Qin's light blue skirt brushed the ground gently, like a blooming flower, exuding a charming fragrance. The maid Rufang followed carefully behind her.

The house has flying eaves, brackets, carved beams and painted buildings, which demonstrate the owner's elegant taste. The walls are inlaid with exquisite carvings and the windows are hung with gauze curtains as thin as cicada wings, fluttering in the wind, like a dream.

When Luo Yin came out of his mother's yard, he saw the girl as beautiful as a spring flower walking towards him gracefully.

The sunlight shines through the gaps in the leaves, forming patches of mottled light and shadow. The girl's beautiful face looks even more dreamy and intoxicating in the interweaving of light and shadow.

Luo Yin was slightly distracted. At this time, Luo Qin had already approached. She walked closer to the young man, slightly bent her knees to salute, and said softly, "My cousin Aqin greets Brother Nineteen."

Luo Yin came back to his senses, blushed slightly, nodded and said: "Thank you for your courtesy, sister."

Then, Luo Yin asked again: "Aqin came here, is it because mother wants to see you?"

"Exactly."

"Then go in, mother is inside."

"Yes." Luo Qin bowed slightly, "Goodbye, Brother Nineteen."

The boy nodded: "Yeah."

The girl followed the maidservant beside the lady into the house. Luo Yin stood there for a long time, until he could no longer see the figure, then he left with regret.

After Luo Qin entered the room, he saw the graceful and elegant Xia kneeling on the couch with a mahogany low table in front of her.

The eldest daughter of the Luo family wore a big cross bun today, a gold leaf hairpin, a tile-green half-sleeved skirt, lightly powdered face, goose yellow flower ornaments, willow-shaped eyebrows and red lips, with cinnabar dots on both sides of her lips. She looked to be around 30 years old, but in fact she was already in her early 40s.

Luo Qin walked over in small steps, bowed and saluted: "Junior greets aunt."

"Hurry up and get up. Aqin is too polite. Please take a seat."

When Xia saw Luo Qin, a gentle and decent smile appeared on her face, and she was dignified and generous.

She motioned Luo Qin to sit opposite her. Luo Qin nodded in thanks, took off her shoes, straightened her skirt, and knelt down.

"Aqin, do you have an appointment with Wang Wulang today?" Xia asked with a smile.

"Yes, aunt." Luo Qin said respectfully.

"This is a good thing. In our Luo family, you are probably the only one who has such a good relationship with Mr. Xunmei..." When she said this, a complicated look flashed across Xia's face.

There are so many men and women in the Luo family, but it just so happens that only this one from the side branch gets along well with the men from the Wang and Xie families. Is this the benefit of having a stunning appearance?

The youngest son Luo Yin and Xie Sanlang are familiar with each other, but they are sworn enemies. They compare themselves with each other all day long and never get along.

Thinking of her youngest son, Xia sighed.

Luo Qin raised his eyes, stared at the beautiful woman opposite him, and said: "If possible, I will introduce my brothers and sisters to Xie Sanlang and Wang Wulang in the future."

Seeing the pretty girl opposite her being so polite, Xia's smile deepened, "Okay, okay, very good, Ah Qin, you are still the one that pleases me the most."

The husband originally wanted to use the outstanding looks of the descendants of this branch clan to make friends with the children of aristocratic families, and now Luo Qin has really fulfilled the husband's request.

"I wonder if Auntie has anything else to say to me?"

"Oh, isn't the Flower Festival coming up in a few days? I wonder how Aqin Flower God Selection is preparing?"

It turned out that Xia wanted to ask how the preparations for the Flower Festival were going.

"Thank you for your concern, Auntie. A-Qin is almost ready."

Xia said, "Aqin, our Luo family hasn't had a big happy event for a long time. You must win the first prize this time. Do you have the confidence?"

What Xia really wanted to express was that the Luo family had always been in a lukewarm state in Jiankang City, where many aristocratic families gathered and competition was fierce, and had not attracted public attention and heated discussions for a long time.

Therefore, she very much hopes that Luo Qin can stand out in the flower goddess selection and become the focus of everyone's attention, and take this opportunity to attract more topics and attention, and by the way, marry a few more girls to let the Luo family regain vitality and vigor.

After all, in an environment full of power struggles and conflicts of interest, only by constantly standing out can one obtain sufficient resources and status.
