Beiming Yu's words fell silent. One by one, they stared at Nalan Youyou with their eyes wide open. Some were envious, some were jealous, some were disdainful, and some were contemptuous. Nalan Youyou also did not react for a moment.
When Nalan Jingjing, who was sitting in the row of concubines, saw that the sixth princess had come to look for Nalan Youyou again, she turned her eyes and walked over.
"Big Sister, I'm bored sitting over there.”
"Isn't Yanwan with you? What's there to be bored about?" Nalan Youyou felt displeased. Beiming Yu didn't have a good impression of Nalan Jingjing either. Now that she saw Nalan Jingjing walking over, her expression was quite displeased.
"Nalan Second Young Lady, right? Di Shu, please return to your position.”
Nalan Jingjing looked at Nalan Youyou aggrievedly, hoping that Nalan Youyou would agree. However, she saw that Nalan Youyou was chatting happily with Beiming Yu.
"Ah Yu, you should hurry back and sit down. It's about to start. You should hurry back.”Nalan Youyou comforted her with a smile while pushing Beiming Yu back.
As a princess, Beiming Yu's every move would naturally be noticed by others. Now that she had come to Nalan Youyou's place with great fanfare, there were naturally more people paying attention to her. As soon as Beiming Yu stood up, Beiming Ye and Beiming Gu followed her and ran over.
Beiming Gu nodded when he saw Nalan Youyou pushing Beiming Yu back. Nalan Youyou's actions were correct. She had already been targeted by everyone because of today's quarrel. If she sat in front with Beiming Yiyu now, she would probably attract even more attention in the future.
Beiming Ye didn't think so. It would be good if Nalan Youyou could sit beside him. Beiming Ye stood up and walked to Nalan Youyou. He smiled at Nalan Youyou." Youyou's sixth sister invited you over."”
Nalan Youyou looked at Beiming Ye coldly, but the anger in her heart had no choice but to pretend to be calm and distant. She took a step back and said indifferently," Second Prince, you must be joking. How can I sit beside the prince and princess?"”
Beiming Yu looked at Nalan Youyou unhappily and rebuked," Youyou, what are you saying? How are you not qualified? As long as I say you can, you are qualified to sit beside me."”
Nalan Youyou looked at Beiming Yu with a smile." Ah Yu, don't be angry. That's not what I meant. It's just that today's occasion is different. If I sit with you, I'm afraid that people will pay more attention to me. I'm afraid that Youyou will be in trouble."”
Beiming Yu was stunned. Her eyes flickered before she let go of Nalan Youyou's hand." Alright, since Youyou has said so, I won't force you to come with me." You can stay here, but remember, don't be in a hurry to leave after the palace banquet. I still have something to talk to you about.”
"Alright, Youyou understands." Nalan Youyou looked at Beiming Yu with a smile. Although Beiming Yu was willful, she was still very reasonable.
"Okay, then I'll be leaving." Beiming Yu saw that Nalan Youyou really didn't want to go with her, so she pulled Beiming Ye away. Beiming Ye looked at Nalan Youyou with displeasure, then turned to look at Nalan Youyou seriously.
"Youyou, you have me protecting you. What are you afraid of?”
Beiming Ye's words caused another uproar. Was this considered a confession? Was this considered a marriage proposal? What ability did Nalan Youyou have to make Beiming Yu, a princess, favor Nalan Youyou so much? Now, even the Second Prince was so interested in the eldest daughter of the Nalan family.
Seeing Beiming Ye speak to Nalan Youyou like this, Nalan Jingjing saw how Beiming Ye treated Nalan Youyou. Although she knew that Beiming Ye was just putting on an act, Nalan Jingjing still felt quite unhappy when she saw Beiming Ye's high-profile words.
"This official's daughter does not have the fortune to invite the second prince to sit.”Nalan Youyou's face turned cold and her voice became sharper. She tried her best to retreat until there was no way out.
"Aiya, Second Brother, what are you doing?”Beiming Ye's words stunned Beiming Yu. She had seriously thought about what Nalan Youyou had said just now. Nalan Youyou was in the limelight now. Although she did not know why, it was better not to bring her trouble. However, Beiming Ye's words had forced Nalan Youyou into a desperate situation.
With that, Beiming Yu pulled Beiming Ye away without hesitation. Before he left, he secretly gave Nalan Youyou a reassuring look. Seeing Beiming Yu being dragged away, Nalan Youyou heaved a sigh of relief.
Beiming Gu, who was sitting at the side, heard Beiming Ye's words and his expression darkened. His aura was as cold as ice. He heaved a sigh of relief when Nalan Youyou rejected him. Beiming Gu felt the change in his mood and could not help but be stunned. He looked at Nalan Youyou a few more times.
Nalan Jingjing did not want Nalan Youyou to have such an easy time. She looked at Nalan Youyou happily," Eldest Sister, you're really lucky. You're actually able to make the current Second Prince confess to you in public."”
"Second Younger Sister must be joking. Second Prince was only joking. Don't take it seriously.”Nalan Youyou warned with a serious expression.
However, Nalan Jingjing's voice had been deliberately amplified. Now, everyone around had heard it. Even the old madam, who was sitting in the front, could hear it clearly. They had already seen the Second Prince and the Sixth Princess come over to talk to Nalan Youyou. Now, hearing Nalan Jingjing speak like this made them even happier.
"Old Madam Nalan, congratulations. Your daughter has caught the second prince's eye and will become the second prince's wife sooner or later.”For a moment, there was no one else who could congratulate her. Zhuang Huaijin secretly twisted the silk in her hand. If the Second Prince had taken a fancy to Jingjing, she would be even happier. Now, the Second Prince had actually taken a fancy to Nalan Youyou! He was really furious.
The old madam was so happy that she opened her mouth and said," My daughter-in-law, Youyou has worked hard and brought glory to our Nalan family.”
Zhuang Huaijin could not help but smile." Yes, Eldest Miss has always been outstanding.”Zhuang Huaijin said reluctantly, but since the old madam asked, she naturally had to agree.
"Jingjing is also quite outstanding. She will definitely be able to amaze the world with a single feat.”Zhuang Huaijin could not help but put in a good word for Nalan Jingjing. Nalan Jingjing was not considered outstanding yet, and today's limelight was completely snatched by Nalan Youyou.
"Yes, Jingjing needs to learn more from Youyou. Youyou is still the best.”The more Old Madam Nalan looked, the more satisfied she became. Nalan Youyou was sitting elegantly at the side, as if everything around her had nothing to do with her. He allowed the people around him to continue discussing.
"Miss, they are all talking about you.”Yuejun lowered her head and whispered to Nalan Youyou. Nalan Youyou shook her head casually, indicating for Yuejun not to care about anything.
How could she not feel so many burning gazes? It was just that she had already become the target of public criticism. She should keep a lower profile.
Nalan Youyou's expression darkened after hearing the Second Prince's words. Beiming Ye, just you wait. I will deal with you sooner or later.
There were many gazes that were filled with envy, jealousy, flattery, and so on. Nalan Youyou turned a deaf ear to them. However, there was a probing gaze among these gazes that made Nalan Youyou unable to help but raise her head to search.
Nalan Youyou followed his gaze and saw that it was from the current Fourth Prince, Beiming Gu. Nalan Youyou nodded at Beiming Gu as a form of greeting. Then, she lowered her head and looked at the table, thinking about something.
"Bestow a feast!" After such a small interlude, the Empress Dowager, the Emperor, and the Crown Prince finally arrived with the civil and military officials. After the Emperor gave a long speech, a eunuch-like person stepped forward and said loudly.
All of a sudden, the palace maids filed in, each holding a food tray in their hands and putting down the food in turn. Nalan Youyou sat quietly for nearly an hour. She had often attended such banquets in her previous life, so she naturally knew the rules.
This was only the first procedure. After the dishes were served, the empress dowager had to say something before they could eat. It seemed that they could not eat for less than two hours. Fortunately, Nalan Youyou had asked Yuejun to prepare more food for her before she left this morning. Otherwise, she would be like the other young ladies now, with their eyes turning green from hunger.
Nalan Youyou laughed in her heart. When they came here, they were afraid that eating too much would affect their figures, so they only ate a little. Some even didn't eat at all. It would be strange if they weren't hungry now.
The Empress Dowager said a long speech before the banquet began. Those people who were already starving had no choice but to pretend to be elegant and eat bit by bit.
Nalan Yanwan willfully sat beside Nalan Jingjing and kept playing with her posture, afraid that others would not notice her. "Wow, who is that? You're still so restless when you're eating."
"That's right, that's right. This is really too embarrassing.”
"Hey, hey, stop talking. That's the Nalan family's young lady.”
"Nalan family's young lady? Was it the Nalan family that the Second Prince had expressed his thoughts on?”
"Isn't that right?"
"They're all the same!" Nalan Yanwan still didn't know that her fake appearance was making people feel disgusted. Everyone tacitly turned their heads away from Nalan Yanwan.
Seeing that no one was looking at her, Nalan Yanwan snorted angrily and kept poking her chopsticks into her bowl. Nalan Youyou had heard his loud voice.
Nalan Youyou raised her head and frowned even more. This Nalan Yanwan was really willful. How could she be willful in this situation?
Nalan Youyou carefully looked at the seat above, only to see that the Emperor and the others sitting there had also seen Nalan Yanwan's actions, and a hint of disdain flashed in the depths of their eyes.
Nalan Youyou helplessly sighed. Nalan Yanwan's fate was probably destined. Now that she had offended the Empress Dowager and the others, it was impossible for her to find a good home.
The group of people chewed and ate slowly for another two hours. Nalan Youyou was already full, but she ate slowly. Just the way she ate made countless people look at her.# Daguan Review Passed: Daguan Time:122120184:05AM
