I brought five birds to eat and drink with my girlfriends in ancient times

Seeing Xiaoman, who looked as tired as a dog, rushing over again, Shangguan Yue almost couldn't laugh anymore.

There was a carriage parked outside the yard, no longer a sedan chair. Shangguan Yue instinctively thought that the banquet was about to begin, so she arranged for Xiaoman to pick her up.

As expected, my guess was correct. As soon as Xiaoman came in, she bowed and started to talk non-stop, saying that the crown prince was here, the seventh and eighth princes were here, how handsome they were, and which ministers were here, which ladies were here...

Xiaoman dragged Shangguan Yue onto the carriage as he spoke. Shangguan Yue turned around and glanced at the five birds. It turned out that the five birds had already hidden in the flowers before anyone arrived, and they all kept silent.

Shangguan An then felt at ease to follow Xiaoman into the carriage. With the carriage, the distance that usually took about three quarters of an hour to walk could now be reached in about a quarter of an hour, five hundred meters away from the front hall.

Before getting off the car, Xiaoman helped Shangguan Yue to tidy up her appearance. Shangguan Yue put on a veil, but there was nothing she could do about it. Her face looked a little sunken, and she looked skinny. Her hair was yellow and dull, and she looked like a real yellow-haired girl.

Clothes can still cover her body, but not her face, which is too ugly. In modern times, she is quite pretty, at least she always bumps into telephone poles when walking on the road.

She is also obsessed with looks. Although this body is young, she still cannot accept others seeing her ugly appearance. However, children grow very fast. As long as they eat well and sleep well, they will change a lot in a week.

The female guests were in the side hall, and the male guests were in the main hall. Before I even arrived, I could hear the noise of people talking and laughing loudly, and even the sound of poetry being recited...

The side hall and the main hall were separated by a row of screens about two meters high and four or five meters wide. Although the ladies sat upright, they would glance towards the main hall from time to time.

Because the girls knew that there were not only many young unengaged men in the main hall, but mainly the Crown Prince, the Seventh Prince and the Eighth Prince were also there, and none of them were married yet, so they had the opportunity to become the Crown Princess or the Prince's Consort. Even being a concubine was better than being a wife of a lower official position.

At the main table in the side hall, Chen Bianbian was chatting with the wives of several ministers. The atmosphere seemed quite good. At another main table nearby, the old lady was chatting with other old ladies of similar age in a somewhat forced manner. Having never entertained nobles before, the old lady felt a little overwhelmed.

Seeing her granddaughter-in-law Li Junlan's generosity and propriety, the old lady nodded secretly with satisfaction and felt relieved.

Glancing at the table in the corner, the old lady saw that there were many nobles today and were afraid of making mistakes, so she didn't let Shurou sit with her. Looking at Shurou's aggrieved expression, the old lady felt a little reluctant, but Shurou sitting there with a gloomy face and ignoring everyone seemed a little petty and didn't consider the overall situation.

As expected, the wife is the wife and the concubine is the concubine. Shurou is still not able to support the family. Fortunately, she was not allowed to be the head of the household. Otherwise, the household expenses would be given to Shurou, and then taken back from Shurou and given to Lan'er, which would not be good.

Zhang Shurou was completely unaware of all this and the power she wanted to be the head of the household was gone. She was still very angry and her handkerchief was about to be torn. Why did the old lady let her sit in this corner? Why couldn't she sit at the main table? Even if she was a concubine, she was still the old lady's great-cousin!

Seeing Li Junlan chatting and laughing at the main table, drinking tea and chatting with the ladies, she felt a pain in her heart like a knife of jealousy.

This should have been her position. How could this bitch be so stubborn? Didn't the doctor say that she was dying of depression and heart disease? How come she is not dead but alive and well?

Zhang Shurou gnashed her teeth in hatred, her face twisted with anger. Li Junlan, just wait, the position of legal wife can only be her, Zhang Shurou.

The ladies of lower official rank who sat at the same table with her did not dare to talk to her when they saw her like that. They automatically ignored her and turned to talk to other ladies.

Shangguan Yue saw all of this. It is true that a bystander sees things more clearly. Standing outside, he can see all the evil spirits clearly.

She walked towards Chen Bianbian, bowed and called softly "mother". With Chen Bianbian's introduction, she also met the ladies at the same table. The ladies asked why Shangguan Yue was wearing a veil. Chen Bianbian hurriedly said that Yue'er had not fully recovered from the cold and was afraid of the disease.

Everyone in the hall was having a good time, but outside, Xia Zhi was walking around anxiously, with beads of sweat the size of beans oozing out of her forehead. She wanted to run to the young lady's side immediately, but was afraid of attracting other people's attention, which would be inappropriate. So she had to keep her pace steady.

But she was extremely anxious, because there was already chaos outside the gate, and many people were watching the excitement. If there was a joke in the general's mansion today, and the lady was in good health and willing to come out to socialize, she would be extremely happy. She was really afraid that if the young lady knew about this, would she go back to hiding again?

How to do?

She was so anxious!
