Chapter 52 Banquet

"King Jing is coming, it's really a rare guest..." It's a slightly old voice. Zhou Xiaoqing looked up at an old man in noble clothes, all over his body revealing his demeanor as a first-class member of the current dynasty. Although he is old, he is majestic. From the standing posture centered on him, you can see it. This is the owner of this Dalin Mansion, the father of today's birthday star - Diange University Scholar!

"Congratulations on the birthday of Linfu's daughter." Min Wen stood with his hands on his hands, and the old housekeeper's gift was immediately handed over to the young man in Lin's house.

"Please--" Bachelor Lin said with a smile. Although it was a little embarrassing, it was better not to lose courtesy in front of everyone. Min Wen did not stop much and went straight to the inner hall. Under the guidance of the housekeeper Lin, Zhou Xiaoqing looked back at the Bachelor Lin who was still welcoming guests at the door. Humph, he was really eye-catching. I don't know gold and jade. I don't want such a good son-in-law. Isn't the old man stupid?

When I turned around again, Min Wen had disappeared. Zhou Xiaoqing was surrounded by people I didn't know. They all know where they were going. Only Zhou Xiaoqing stood there stupidly and didn't know what to do, and let the people passing by rub their shoulders.

Zhou Xiaoqing waited in the same place and wanted to wait for Min Wen to come back to find her, but she still didn't see half a figure. Maybe there were too many people to see clearly.

"Miss, which female family are you from? Why don't you sit down?" A little man came to ask.

"I'm from my prince, King Jing!" Zhou Xiaoqing added. He grabbed the little boy and asked, hoping that he could take himself to Min Wen.

The little man smiled politely, "Our servants can't stay where the princes enter. Since the girl is from Jingwang's mansion, please follow me."

Zhou Xiaoqing followed him to a house and opened it. There were also several little girls of her age, who seemed to be accompanied by those officials.

"Well, what, don't care about me when you bring it." Zhou Xiaoqing really became more and more angry. She sat in a corner where there was no one and cursed Min Wen in her heart, "You deserve to be abandoned. How come? If I had known that you were sitting here, you might as well sleep in the house!"

Staying in this dull room, Zhou Xiaoqing's hands and feet were almost numb. Those maids seemed to have been immobile, motionless and unsmiling. Zhou Xiaoqing couldn't stay. If she didn't take me to play, I would go out by myself!

Zhou Xiaoqing was restless in it. Other girls had long been uneasily. When they saw Zhou Xiaoqing go out, they glanced at her and stared at each other.

Have ancient women been trained to become puppets? Zhou Xiaoqing couldn't help shaking her head thinking about what she had just seen in that room. It's so lively outside that you don't even want to come out to play. It's so obedient.

The Lin Mansion was full of people's laughter. The maids hurriedly passed through Zhou Xiaoqing's eyes with all kinds of delicious food. It was really tormenting that they could not touch the food. Zhou Xiaoqing's eyes wandered around with these women floating around.

"Well, it seems that there is nothing I can do if I want to eat, and I don't know where the dining room is..." Zhou Xiaoqing held her cheek and simply stopped going to see those foods that could only be eaten.

Zhou Xiaoqing plans to visit Linfu. Anyway, she has nothing to do. On the whole, Lin Mansion looks much more elegant than Jingwang Mansion. Maybe there are more kinds of flowers. It's incredible. In this autumn, you can see so many unnamed words. The ancient climate is quite strange.

Going forward, I saw a lawn under a stone bridge, with a man with his back to Zhou Xiaoqing. He looked a little like the guy Yunfan, so Zhou Xiaoqing tiptoed over, intending to scare this playboy who could only play tricks on her.

"Who--" The man turned his head, which shocked Zhou Xiaoqing and made his whole body tremble.

"I'm sorry, I got the wrong person. I thought it was that bastard Yunfan! Oh... I mean, I thought it was His Royal Highness Yunfan who came over and wanted to say hello. Hi~" Zhou Xiaoqing spoke more and lower, and the man in front of her didn't seem to be easy to provoke. A pair of cold faces were better than Min Wen. She was about to slip away, but she was caught by the man's arm. " Brother, it's not necessary. I just recognized the wrong person, and I didn't do anything..." Zhou Xiaoqing pleaded bitterly.

The man listened to Zhou Xiaoqing's words and let go of her arm. Zhou Xiaoqing rubbed her hands and looked at the rough guy in front of her. His expression is very cold. He looks good. Zhou Xiaoqing really doesn't want to admit that he is very handsome, but the fact is in front of him. He has a perfect outline like a knife, a pair of deep eyes like a cold pool, and the thickness of his lips is moderate, slightly unruly and his height is indeed similar to Yun Fan.

"What is your relationship with Yunfan?" The man asked in a very cold voice.

"Do you have a high official position as Your Highness Yunfan?" Zhou Xiaoqing asked back.

"No."

Zhou Xiaoqing thought to herself, it turned out that it was just like that. Thinking about it, Yun Fan was a relative of the emperor's country, how could he be able to suppress him casually, so he let go of the bold fox and pretended to be a tiger and dog, "What does it have to do with you? Can you take a girl's hand if you are handsome? Don't you know whether a man and a woman are close? It's just that you have the wrong person. Do you have to treat me like an interrogator?!" Zhou Xiaoqing looked arrogant, "I'm one of Yunfan's strongest friends now - how about it?"

The young man looked at Zhou Xiaoqing's words like a shrew scolding the street, with a faint smile on the corners of his mouth for a moment, but in Zhou Xiaoqing's view, this smile was more like a ridicule. "It seems that Yun Fan's taste is getting more and more... Are all his women so sharp?"

"A good woman doesn't fight with men. I'm in a bad mood today and don't want to talk to you. I won't blame you for apologizing."

"Ha ha, interesting, you are the first person to dare to make me apologize." The man laughed more violently.

"So you have always been so rude. Well, when you are bitten by a dog, but you are so arrogant, but you can't do it." Zhou Xiaoqing was not angry. She shook her finger and smiled at the stranger. Anyway, we won't meet again, so there's no need to be angry.

Zhou Xiaoqing was also tired and sat aside. This place was not bad, with wind and sunshine. She took out the pastries she brought from Jingwang's mansion to satisfy her hunger. However, these foods have been bumpy all the way for a long time. Looking at these ugly cakes, Zhou Xiaoqing shook her head, sighed, and began to scold again. "Stinky Minwen, like Yun Fan, you are not a good thing. You don't know where to hide and be romantic, which makes me lonely and cool in this place. The pastry is inhumane and unreasonable. I hate you!" Zhou Xiaoqing seemed to see the food in her hand as Yun Fan's face and bit it down fiercely. Then he choked again, and there was no water to drink around him, so he had to beat his chest hard. After eating, Zhou Xiaoqing sighed again, "Don't ask me to come out to play in the future, you two are bad things!"

The man didn't leave, just sitting not far from Zhou Xiaoqing, looking at Zhou Xiaoqing from time to time.

Zhou Xiaoqing can't be stared at like this. Anyway, no one spoke, Zhou Xiaoqing didn't care about the past and handed half of the pastry to the man, "Do you want to eat? If you want to eat, just tell me. If you don't tell me, how do you know you want to eat? Even if you look at me, I may not know that you want to eat. There's no reason why you want to eat it. I won't give it to you..."

The man's mind was full of black lines. He didn't know what Zhou Xiaoqing was talking about. He thought she was interested in the ruined cake in her hand, but he was just interested in what she said.

"The Min Wen and Yun Fan you mentioned seem to be very familiar with you. I also know them very well, but I have never heard of you." The man's words are not as rude as before.

Zhou Xiaoqing didn't drink, but she seemed to be talking nonsense. "I tell you, none of them is a good thing. If it hadn't been for the sake of His Royal Highness, I would have been rude to them. Also, don't learn from Min Wen's expressionless face if you have nothing to do. It's annoying to see..."

"Why do you hate them so much?"

"Who told them to bring me only and don't care about me to eat and drink, just care about themselves to be happy."

"I still don't know who you are after talking for a long time? Which adult's daughter?" The man looked at Zhou Xiaoqing's words and didn't care about the imperial power, thinking that it was an unruly lady.

"Even if I sell it, it's good to sell dozens of taels of silver. It can be seen that you are a little girl. You are quite well dressed, and you were also pulled out to install the facade, right? Alas, we are all connected, and we don't know each other.

"Oh?" The man smiled playfully, "Am I a little boy?"

"Don't be shy about this. The little one is also a human, better than the eunuch, right?" Zhou Xiaoqing continued to comfort.

The man's face had a forbearable smile, "Funny, funny."

"Don't give up on yourself. If you work hard, you can also be a housekeeper or something. I think the housekeeper in our Jingwang Mansion is quite loved."

"Are you from Jingwang Mansion?" The man has probably guessed Zhou Xiaoqing's identity. The girl who used to talk nonsense here is just a girl who doesn't know the depth of heaven and earth.

"Yes, sad, our King Jing, alas... I won't talk about that, and later I didn't like to talk. Also, Your Highness Yun Fan, that will really torture and entertain people. Let's not talk about me. What about your situation? Are you very unhappy in the house?" Zhou Xiaoqing turned her head and asked.

"It's okay."

"Does your master have any psychological illness? For example, if you don't have a deep mood, sometimes you will have cramps and depression for a few days?

"Everything is good, but it's the first time I've heard so many inside stories."

"Don't tell others what I said, okay, otherwise my master won't make me look good. By the way, what's your name?"

"Mu Jie."
