The eldest princess had sent someone to post the post earlier. Since her birthday was on the second day of April, and she was a lively person, she hosted a banquet for many young ladies from aristocratic families, including the two legitimate daughters of the Xie family.
Xie Ruzhuo didn't care much about this. If he went, he would inevitably run into Shen Jingci again and make himself unhappy for no reason. It was better to hide at home and relax.
It's just that the eldest princess's post has been sent. If he didn't go, wouldn't it be a disgrace to the eldest princess? Xie Ruzhuo thought for a moment and finally agreed.
On the second day of April, Xie Ruzhuo waited until it was getting late and then went out at Xie Ruyue's urging.
Princess Yue Lin had already set up some tables and chairs in the back garden of her residence, with fruits and snacks placed on them, so that the young ladies from these aristocratic families could use them to kill time.
It wasn't until the dinner party that Princess Yue Lin sent someone to hold a banquet at the moon viewing platform not far from the back garden. Since all the people present were young gentlemen and young ladies, there was no need to be formal.
Xie Ruyue's relationship with Xiao Xinning has become better and better these days. As soon as the two met, they went elsewhere talking and laughing, but Xie Ruzhuo lagged behind, walking through flowers and willows, feeling very uncomfortable.
If you haven't met that person.
She saw someone strolling over and happened to stop next to her, seemingly intentionally or unintentionally.
"I have met His Highness."
Xie Ruzhuo's attitude was neither humble nor arrogant. Today was the birthday of the eldest princess, so she was not surprised to see Xiao Junhan. Although she hated it in her heart, her emotions on her face did not fluctuate at all. She just gave a faint salute and turned to leave.
Seeing that Xie Ruzhuo wanted to leave again, Xiao Junhan immediately blocked her way and said with a smile, "Zhuo'er, why are you leaving in such a hurry? I'm not a tiger or wolf, why did you leave just after seeing me?"
It's a blessing, not a curse, but disaster cannot be avoided. Seeing Xiao Junhan's intimate smile, a trace of impatience flashed across Xie Ruzhuo's face. Fortunately, it was at night, and Xiao Junhan didn't notice Xie Ruzhuo's emotions.
"The eldest princess's banquet is about to begin. Zhuo'er is a junior, so I'm afraid it won't be good if I go late." Finally, Xie Ruzhuo paused, thinking that it was no accident that Xiao Junhan met him here, and then said, "Your Highness, if I don’t mind it, I can go forward with Zhuoer.”
After hearing this, Xiao Junhan just nodded, and while walking side by side with her, he said casually, "Speaking of which, I heard an interesting thing, and it has something to do with Zhuo'er."
Xie Ruzhuo was impatient, but still had a smile on his face, "Oh? I don't know what interesting things His Highness heard, but it doesn't matter."
Hearing this, Xiao Junhan stopped, locked Xie Ruzhuo's face tightly, and said slowly, "I heard that Zhuo'er sent Western Snow Lotus to my third brother, is this relevant?"
Xiao Junhan's news is so well-informed!
Xie Ruzhuo couldn't help being surprised. She asked someone to send the Western Region Snow Lotus to the palace. It was a trivial matter, but it could not escape Xiao Junhan's ears.
This means that someone is spying on himself or Xiao Junxi.
No matter who it is, this is never a good thing.
Xie Ruzhuo suppressed the uneasiness in his heart and smiled, "It's true. Zhuo'er never likes to owe favors to others. I knew I couldn't bear the favor at the hunting ground that day, so I asked him I sent the Snow Lotus from the Western Region back. In this way, the third prince and I can be considered even."
Xiao Junhan just understood. From this, it seemed that he was overthinking. I guess Xie Ruzhuo didn't like Xiao Junxi at all.
"Zhuo'er is indeed a person who values affection and righteousness, and I admire him for that." Xiao Junhan felt a little more comfortable after getting the explanation.
Seeing him like this, Xie Ruzhuo sighed again and said coquettishly, "The second prince knows that I don't like to have anything to do with others in my life. The only person I have a relationship with is right in front of me and far away."
As she said that, she glanced at Xiao Junhan with resentment and anger, and suddenly said in surprise, "Shen, Sister Shen... oh, I'm leaving first!"
Seeing Xie Ruzhuo running away with a shy look, Xiao Junhan felt like a big beast that had been smoothed, and felt comfortable all over. The look in her eyes just now was really charming to the core, making Xiao Junhan wish he could hold her down and love her right now.
Unfortunately, at this moment someone came to spoil the fun.
"Why did you come so late?"
Hearing Xiao Junhan's question, Shen Jingci smiled slightly and said, "If I came too early, wouldn't it ruin the scene of others expressing their love for His Highness?"
She had always known that Xie Ruzhuo was a nymphomaniac, but she didn't expect that this woman was quite single-minded. But in this way, a lot of things are saved. only-
"Your Highness, do you think she is really shy, or is she pretending to be flattering?"
Xiao Junhan obviously didn't want anyone to question his charm, but what she said was her own doubts. She immediately said, "How about Ci'er test it out for me?" He couldn't tell the truth about this matter. However, women may learn the truth through boudoir talk.
Hearing this, Shen Jingci smiled softly and said, "Okay, why don't we give him some serious medicine? Even if she really has that intention towards the third prince, we will force her to stay away from him from now on!"
Xie Ruzhuo hadn't walked far when he heard hurried footsteps behind him, mixed with a woman's sweet call, "Sister Zhuo'er, wait for me."
She smiled coldly, then turned around and said in surprise, "Hey, Sister Shen, why are you here? Are you not..." It seemed that it was difficult to say the person's name, and a blush suddenly appeared on Xie Ruzhuo's face.
And this blush caught Shen Jingci's eyes without missing a beat.
Seeing this, Shen Jingci immediately joked, "I'm here to accompany you. The second prince said that the road is dark at night and I'm worried that you will be scared alone." She walked side by side with Xie Ruzhuo and said with a smile, "Say Get up, this second prince is really interested in sister Zhuoer."
Oh, he must be more interested in the Xie family. Xie Ruzhuo retorted in his heart, but said with some sadness on his face, "The second prince is also very fond of Sister Shen. I have seen you go in and out together more than once."
Hearing this, Shen Jingci choked up and immediately smiled, "Sister, are you jealous? To be honest, who can not love the second prince's character? It's just that your status is not better than ours. You are of noble birth. In the future, Marrying her is also a royal concubine, this is a blessing that no one else can ask for."
Xie Ruzhuo still had a faint smile on his face, "Sister Shen, I am just a motherless person. When it comes to nobility, all the women in this family are very noble." Oh, is the position of the princess a concubine? Didn't she have it in her previous life? But in the end, she was not even qualified to enter the palace!
Every time she saw this pair of bitches, she couldn't help but want to cut them into pieces! But unfortunately, what she needs to learn most now is patience!
Seeing that Xie Ruzhuo kept pretending to be stupid, Shen Jingci simply changed a roundabout route and talked about Xiao Junxi, "Speaking of which, I admire you very much, sister. You can also find treasures like the Snow Lotus from the Western Regions. It's just that What a pity.”
"Oh? What's the pity?" These two people asked in two ways, just to inquire about one thing. She wanted to see what else Shen Jingci could make up.
When Xie Ruzhuo asked, Shen Jingci immediately looked around vigilantly, and when she saw that no one was passing by, she lowered her voice and said, "Don't you know, sister? There are rumors in the capital that the third prince Xiao Junxi's constitution is He is too weak and is a short-lived person. Even with the Snow Lotus from the Western Region, it can only alleviate his condition, and he will not live to be twenty-five years old!"
Hearing this, Xie Ruzhuo suddenly changed his face to a sympathetic expression, and said slightly sadly, "Everyone in the world knows that he will not live to be twenty-five years old, but Zhuo'er only knows that he is a very good person. Such a good man, but Such a short life is really unfair from God!"
Shen Jingci originally wanted Xie Ruzhuo to stay away from Xiao Junxi, but unexpectedly she got such an answer, and her face suddenly turned ugly.
After thinking about it, Shen Jingci patted Xie Ruzhuo's shoulder again and said, "Actually, this is the same time. Do you know why he has never married yet?"
"Is it because he knows that his life span is short and he doesn't want to drag down the women in the world?" Xie Ruzhuo asked with a pair of clear black and white eyes open, with a puzzled look on his face.
"Not really."
After saying that, Shen Jingci simply put her mouth close to Xie Ruzhuo's ear and whispered, "Actually, the short life is the second best thing. The most important thing is that although he is a man, he is too sick to do what a man does!"
Hearing this, Xie Ruzhuo was shocked, but in his mind he couldn't help but think of the scene he saw in the bath that day. With such a big size, he can't have sex? !
Xie Ruzhuo sighed a few times in his heart and tried his best to drive away the scene. Then he acted innocently and asked with a smile, "Sister Shen, what is a man's thing?"
Shen Jingci choked at these words and immediately felt a little breathless. She only wanted to tell Xie Ruzhuo this shocking secret, but she forgot that women in this era, before getting married, were as clean as a piece of white paper! Not to mention what it is like for men to have sex, I am afraid they don’t even know what the differences between men and women are.
Is it possible that she should be asked to explain in person what sex is? !
Shen Jingci looked embarrassed, but Xie Ruzhuo felt relieved. If I were in my previous life, I really wouldn't know. But in her previous life, she had been married to Xiao Junhan for so long, and everything was clear to her. The reason why she did this was just to tease Shen Jingci.
He wanted to give her eye drops, a trick he had already used in his previous life. If she believed it again in this life, her life would really be in vain!
While thinking about it, Xie Ruzhuo kept asking about the so-called men's matters, until Shen Jingci felt embarrassed, and then found an excuse to run away.
Looking at Shen Jingci's back as she staggered away, Xie Ruzhuo slowly sneered. Then he remembered her words again. Is that handsome and handsome man really incapable of doing manly things
Thinking back to the rumors about his previous life, he was seriously ill and would not die soon. Perhaps Shen Jingci's words were true.
It's just pity for such a man. As the ancients said, Hui Yiyao is too good to be deceived.
As soon as Xie Ruzhuo sat down, he heard the eunuch outside shouting, "The eldest princess has arrived, the consort has arrived!"
Everyone stood up hurriedly, and after saluting in unison, they heard a woman's steady voice say, "Everyone is exempted."
Xie Ruzhuo stood up and sat down along with everyone, and then secretly looked at Princess Yue Lin. She is the youngest sister of Emperor Jing. She is just in her early thirties this year. She has an extremely dignified face, and one look at her will inspire awe.
Looking at her outfit today, even though it was her birthday, she was only wearing a pink palace dress, and there were not many decorations on her body, just a nine-phoenix-turning-jade-gold walking wave, and a few scattered pearl hairpins embedded in her hair. The majesty of his body has fully revealed the majesty of the Tian family.
It's just that the prince consort next to her, although his appearance is not bad, is a bit more vulnerable when standing next to the eldest princess.
I only heard the female officer Ruyi shout, "Let the banquet begin!"
Then I saw the waiters filing in and filling the table with delicacies.
