No one expected Pei Yuanjun to come.
But when they saw the King of England in brocade robe and jade belt slowly approaching, everyone had to stop and salute him.
With handsome and unworldly features, and elegant and dignified features, he was clearly a handsome young man in the secular world. As soon as he appeared, he outshined Pei Luoan and Pei Yusheng.
Pei Yuanjun seldom attended banquets, and this kind of banquet mainly attended by women had never appeared before. He had always been famous in the capital, but not many young ladies had actually seen his appearance. Even if they met him by chance in the mansion, they did not dare to look directly at his face. There was really no opportunity to look directly at the powerful King of England on the other side of the river like this.
Besides, there are so many ladies here, even if you take a peek, you won’t be discovered.
Many young ladies glanced over there secretly, and many of them widened their eyes in shock, hardly believing that the handsome and elegant young man they saw was the King of England.
Isn’t it said that the King of England has killed people like crazy and is a murderer
Isn’t it said that when the King of England was in charge of the Western Prison, there was a river of blood in front of the gate of the Western Prison, which was stained red with the blood of the officials
Didn’t the King of England once slaughtered 100,000 elite soldiers from the Northern Frontier, and then hanged the person from the Northern Frontier who secretly spread the news in front of the city gate
Is this really the British king mentioned in the legend
Even the prince stood up, so how could it not be
With such a look and in such a scene, many young ladies from aristocratic families felt that they had missed out. If they had known that the King of England was such a handsome man, they would never have objected when the proposal was made at home.
After seeing the King of England like this, I couldn't help but look at Qu Moying. It really was a bargain for the fourth lady of the Qu Mansion. If they had known that the King of England was so outstanding, there would be no need for the fourth lady of Qu. They had agreed to the proposal of the elders in their own mansion a long time ago, and maybe they would have married into the King of England's mansion by now.
The rumors turned out to be false, this was true for Qu Moying and His Royal Highness the King of England.
Such a Pei Yuanjun is what many young ladies dream of, but they only regret that no one explained to them that the King of Ying was so handsome.
Although the Crown Prince and King Jing were also good-looking, they were still inferior to King Ying. Moreover, when King Ying appeared, even the Crown Prince stood up politely and bowed in greeting.
Everyone then remembered that His Royal Highness the King of England was the uncle of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. Even though he was about the same age as His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, this uncle was a generation older than him.
This young lady from the Qu family is really lucky. How could she have picked up such a big bargain? Many young ladies looked at Qu Moying with jealousy.
There were also some who changed their minds quickly, and suddenly remembered that the Prince of England's palace was said to be the cleanest. Even if they could not become the principal wife, being a concubine would be good too. Thinking of this, they looked at Pei Yuanjun with a much more shy and affectionate look, and they only hoped that His Royal Highness the King of England could look at them more.
"Uncle!" Pei Luoan stood up and saluted Pei Yuanjun. Pei Yusheng had already stepped forward. He did not have the status of a prince, so he did not have so many concerns.
"I heard that the Crown Prince and King Jing are here, so I want to join in the fun. I hope I am not disturbing you two." Pei Yuanjun sat down at the table in the middle, picked up a few palindrome stickers in front of him, and raised his handsome eyes. "Is this a palindrome sticker? I have never seen one before. The capital is really interesting. There is actually such a way to play."
Pei Luoan's face froze. This was done by Liu Jingyu.
Banquet, now it sounds a bit unlearned.
"Big brother has the best temper. He is willing to let County Lord Jingyu hold such a big banquet at this time. When it comes to having fun, Big brother and County Lord Jingyu are the best at it."
Pei Yusheng was worthy of being the one who always held Pei Luoan back. After hearing what Pei Yuanjun said, he immediately laughed.
"I just found out about this. It's just some girls' toys, just to add to the fun." Pei Luoan took a deep breath and then exhaled slowly. The smile on his face was as gentle as ever, as if he didn't hear Pei Yusheng's subtext.
"Are these three the best ones?" Pei Yuanjun ignored the open and veiled struggles between the two of them, his eyes curiously fell on the middle one of the three posts in front of him, and he picked it up to admire it.
"Yes, this is the best one selected by everyone." Pei Luoan nodded and smiled, "Uncle Wang, what do you think? Is he worthy of the best?"
Pei Yuanjun picked up a post in front of him and read it with great interest.
"Uncle Wang, how about this note?" Pei Yusheng smiled and handed over the note in his hand. "This painting is very suitable for today's topic. It seems like it can predict the future and guess what Big Brother is thinking."
The picture on the sticker was of dancing butterflies and colorful butterflies playing among the flowers. It was the time when the flowers were in full bloom, adding a bit of spring color and making it look vivid and lively. The colorful butterflies seemed to come alive, showing vitality and fluttering.
"The topic that big brother came up with today is also flowers and butterflies, which is invisibly very suitable for this post. It's really such a coincidence. Uncle Wang, do you think it was painted by Jingyu County Lord? It fits big brother's topic very well. If it is true, it is really a match made in heaven."
Pei Yusheng laughed and pointed at the note in his hand.
Pei Luoan's face turned ugly. Although what he said was not like the joke that he had deliberately left out the question, it added another meaning to it.
If this post was really from Jingyu County Lord, then it was a match made in heaven, but what if it wasn't? Does it mean that the marriage between the two people was not blessed by heaven at all
I couldn't think any further. If it wasn't Liu Jingyu, then what was the relationship between this lady in the painting and me
"It's just a coincidence. You can't say that all the paintings today that are related to this are related to the prince? The so-called match made in heaven doesn't count as such a joke. I once told the fourth young lady of the Qu family that it's good to paint flowers and butterflies. Maybe this painting is from the fourth young lady Qu!"
Pei Yuanjun flicked the reply note in his hand, raised his eyes and glanced at Pei Yusheng.
"So Uncle Wang also said that!" Pei Yusheng choked. He really didn't expect that this matter was related to Pei Yuanjun. He originally wanted to use this post to keep an eye on Pei Luoan, but now he felt that this post looked a little fake, so he immediately smiled and said, "It's hard to say, maybe it's from Miss Qu Si. Uncle Wang came here today because of this post?"
Based on his understanding of Lady Jingyu, this post might not be hers. After all, she was the one who sent the post, and this post seemed to be a reply. As for whether the person in Qu Mansion would draw it like this, he really couldn't say.
Originally, I just wanted to give Pei Luoan some topics to talk about, but I didn't mean to provoke Pei Yuanjun.
"I am just curious and want to join in the fun. Since the Crown Prince and King Jing are here, I will naturally come to take a look." Pei Yuan
Jun put down the note in his hand and opened the seal on it without much care. As expected, he saw Qu Moying's name. He casually passed the note to Ji Hai who was standing aside.
Ji Hai took it with a smile and put it respectfully into his sleeve.
This action was indeed rude, even domineering, but no one said anything. Those who were sharp-eyed had already noticed that the name on the post was that of the fourth young lady of the Qu family, and she had not won the title of the best. It was understandable that the King of England did not want the paintings of his future princess to be circulated for others to comment on.
However, such an action made the prince somewhat embarrassed.
Pei Yusheng quickly opened the three best letters and saw that one of them was from Liu Jingyu, so he passed the best one around for others to read.
Although the prince also wanted to put it away like Pei Yuanjun, he did not show any concern just now. If he cared about it now, it would seem a bit superfluous.
"Are you painting butterflies and flowers now?" Pei Yuanjun pointed at the ladies who were painting opposite him. Opposite him was Qu Moying.
Qu Moying only stepped aside to greet him like everyone else when he came in. The rest of the time, he didn't even look at him again, concentrating on painting.
However, Liu Jingyu behind her looked across from time to time, and felt uneasy when he saw Pei Yuanjun coming.
She originally wanted to embarrass Qu Moying, but she didn't expect Pei Yuanjun to come. Once Pei Yuanjun came, even if Qu Moying was a little embarrassed, no one dared to humiliate her. At most, they would laugh at her in private. She wanted to embarrass Qu Moying, let people see her timidity and find out that she was not worthy of marrying into the royal family.
Unexpectedly, it backfired. Not only did Qu Moying remain calm, but even the King of England came to join in the fun.
After taking a few secret glances, she tried hard to calm her panic, lowered her eyes, and focused on the painting. Her plan today was not the main dish. The most important thing was Miss He Si, not herself.
All she did was turn a blind eye. Even if something happened, it had little to do with her.
There are so many people now, and none of them can be provoked. Besides myself, there is Liu Lanxin here, and there are also the prince, King Jing, and King Ying on the opposite side.
He stole another glance at Qu Moying, a hint of mockery flashed in his eyes, then he lowered his head and carefully painted the picture in his hand. Liu Jingyu was still quite proud of the painting on the previous reply post. Even if it was not the best, it was at least excellent. If he could draw well again this time, he would be able to surpass Qu Moying.
She is the Crown Princess, she is the Crown Princess, born to be superior to other women. Why should Qu Moying take over her glory
After thinking this in my mind, I stopped moving and focused on my painting.
Liu Jingyu has settled down, but the other ladies are not so stable. From time to time, they look at the princes and grandchildren opposite them. Each of them is a dragon among men. It's a pity that these people are about to get married. They all have a queen, and the queen is still here. Many ladies are sad, but fortunately they still have some thoughts...
Everyone's attention was focused on the front. Some were looking at the young ladies painting, and some were looking at the noble princes on the other side. Only Miss He, who was sitting in the back, did not let anyone distract her. She kept paying attention to Qu Moying's movements. The smile on her face seemed inexplicably sinister and excited, and her hands were tightly twisting the handkerchief in her hands...
