Good luck in pregnancy, the daughter of the prime minister's mansion has a soft waist

"Oh, isn't this my sister? Sister, I've been looking for you for a long time, and I thought you didn't like it and wouldn't come." Shen Leyao pretended to be surprised and said to Princess Rongxi, "Princess, I'm so sorry, my sister is quite shy, please don't blame her."

Princess Rongxi was already somewhat displeased.

What do you mean you don’t come because you don’t like it?

Would it be unfair to her to attend their party?

Princess Rongxi's gaze fell on Shen Muxue and she paused suddenly. She had an impression of this person.

Shuqin still remembers that encounter vividly.

Whispered softly to Princess Rongxi.

"Princess, she is the girl I met at the inn that day."

It turned out to be the case.

is her!

Princess Rongxi's face darkened. She pointed at Shen Muxue and said, "Did you do something to my maid the other day? It's fine if you didn't give me a broken jade pendant that no one wanted, but you were so cruel. You caused my maid to have diarrhea for three days straight, and the Duke's Mansion almost turned into a toilet."

Shuqin blushed and thought:

Princess, why do you bring this up?

Shen Muxue almost laughed out loud.

It seems that this princess has been spoiled by her family. She must have no ulterior motives when she said this in public.

People like this are actually easier to deal with.

Shen Muxue pretended to be bewildered. "Princess, what do you mean? You wanted to see my waist pendant, and I showed it to you. It was your maid who started to 'pass gas' for some reason. I was kind enough to point her in the direction of the bathroom. If you don't believe me, you can ask her."

After hearing this, Princess Rongxi immediately looked at Shuqin.

Shuqin only suspected that Shen Muxue had drugged her, but she actually had no evidence. After listening to Shen Muxue's words, she felt that she might have wrongly accused someone.

Just nodded.

Princess Rongxi was speechless.

Seeing that Princess Rongxi was in an awkward situation, Shen Leyao stepped forward quickly.

"Sister, what jade pendant are you talking about? If the princess likes it, then give it to her. When she's had enough fun with it, she'll naturally return it to you."

Shen Muxue touched the tiger-head jade pendant hanging around her waist and took it off without hesitation.

"If the princess likes this, I will naturally be happy to give it to her."

After saying that, he handed it forward.

Shuqin subconsciously took a step back.

Princess Rongxi turned pale and waved her hand to refuse.

"I don't want it, take it away."

Shen Muxue slowly put the jade pendant back on her waist and said with a smile, "The princess is of noble birth and has seen all kinds of rare treasures. Sister, if you push Princess Rongxi to take the jade pendant from me, someone who doesn't know her well will think that the princess is overbearing and rude. There are so many people here, and there will definitely be gossip..."

"Your Highness, rumors are more ferocious than tigers."

After hearing this, Princess Rongxi glared at Shen Leyao fiercely and then shook off her hand.

"It's all your fault."

After saying this, she turned away, and her servants followed closely behind her.

Shen Leyao was blamed in public, her face burning, but she was unwilling to completely break up with Princess Rongxi, so she was in a dilemma.

Han Luwen smacked her lips.

"Second Miss Shen, why don't you catch up and try to appease the princess? If she gets really angry, she won't care about you anymore."

Shen Leyao was about to leave, but after hearing what Han Luwen said, there was no way she could leave.

Standing outside the pavilion stubbornly: "If she wants to be angry, let her be angry. Why should I try to please her? I'm not her follower."

She wanted to save face for herself.

Unexpectedly, as soon as these words came out, everyone's eyes turned to her back.

She turned her head in confusion, only to see Princess Rongxi with an ugly expression on her face. She angrily said, "So, being around me makes you feel so uncomfortable. Then don't come near me anymore. I don't need a follower like you."

After saying this, he held his head high with pride and walked away with his maid.

Shen Leyao: How could it turn out like this? That’s not what she meant.

At this point, face no longer mattered, and she hurriedly chased after him.

Han Luwen looked at her anxious back and laughed, "Did you see that? Who would believe her if she said she wasn't a follower?"

The crowd also laughed.

Shen Muxue looked at Shen Leyao's receding back, a sneer appearing on the corner of her mouth.

She silently noted down all these accounts.

When the time is right, we must settle all the accounts one by one.

Soon, the banquet began.

The guests took their seats one after another.

The Princess of Chu sat at the head of the group, flanked by the Jin family and other powerful women.

At this kind of banquet, eating, drinking, chatting and laughing are one of the activities, but more importantly, it is the mutual gazing between men and women.

After all, due to etiquette, men and women need to keep their distance on ordinary days. Only at banquets, under the watchful eyes of relatives and with servants around, is there anything wrong with simple communication between men and women.

The purpose of the Princess of Chu hosting this banquet was to choose a good husband for Princess Rongxi.

Although the King of Chu's own fiefdom was in the rich Huaiyang, the area was small and it was difficult to develop other industries except the aquaculture.

She had witnessed the prosperity of the capital, and felt more and more that the fiefdom was like a cage.

Therefore, she wanted to let her daughter return to this magnificent world.

In the future, with the background of the prince's palace and the help of my grandfather's Duke's Mansion, it will be no problem for him to run rampant in the capital.

After a few rounds of drinks, the wife of the Duke of Guo suggested that the young people show their talents.

Men mostly demonstrate their skills in reciting poems and dancing with swords, while women excel in playing the zither, calligraphy, painting, and dancing.

How could Princess Rong Xi not know her mother's intentions? She had already been secretly observing through the screen.

She had very high standards, but after looking around, she didn't find anyone she satisfied.

At this time, a man in white left the table and walked away. Although his face could not be seen clearly, his extraordinary temperament and posture were very impressive.

She immediately found an excuse and followed him out quietly.

Not long after Princess Rongxi left, Shen Leyao was called out.

"Yao'er, I heard that you dance the Jinghong dance very well. Why not let the princess appreciate it too?"

"Then I will make a fool of myself."

Although she made a fool of herself, Shen Leyao came prepared.

When she went on stage, she casually lifted up the hem of her skirt, which looked like a few petals blooming at her waist, which was unique.

Shen Leyao, who has been learning dance since childhood, has a solid foundation.

Every gesture is light and graceful.

Especially when jumping and spinning, it looks like a flying snow swallow, which is dazzling.

Soon, the young talents in the audience began to ask her name.

Shen Leyao's face was filled with a confident smile.

Her eyes swept across the crowd and finally stopped on an attic not far away.

Early in the morning, her mother told her that the Duke's Mansion welcomed a distinguished guest today.

This person is of great importance, and even the Duke treats him with great respect. He is here for the palace selection next month.

Shen Leyao quickly guessed the mysterious man's true identity and whispered, "If I can be favored by the Emperor, then wouldn't I be a sure winner in next month's selection?"

"Therefore, my Yao'er, this is your only chance. Seize it. Not only will you have a marriage contract with the Marquis's Mansion, but even if you've already married into the Marquis's family, you still have the possibility of entering the palace as empress."

Shen Leyao nodded vigorously.

I practiced that stunning dance from morning till night, all for the purpose of shining at this moment.

Just to impress the sweetheart hiding in the dark.
