When the banquet came to an end, when Zhao Yu came to look for Rong Jingqiu, he saw two women sitting on her left and right, both of whom were very close to her. The three of them didn't know what they were saying, and they whispered in a low voice, and then laughed again.

His eyes sank, and he stood behind Rong Jingqiu in a quiet voice, and suddenly spoke with a heartfelt voice, "What are you talking about?"

Rong Jingqiu was suddenly frightened by the sound, and her heart almost jumped out. It took a while before she remembered who the owner of this slightly cunning voice was. She immediately turned around and looked behind her. Sure enough, the bastard Zhao Yu was standing behind her.

"Are you going to scare people to death?" She growled in a bad mood. Don't think she has no temper. "I'm almost scared to death by you."

In fact, the only one who was really scared was Rong Jingqiu. Princess Qinglan and Xia Wei, who were sitting on both sides of her, saw Zhao Yu coming, and only Rong Jingqiu, who was facing away from Zhao Yu, did not notice at all.

Zhao Yu looked at Rong Jingqiu with an innocent face, and leaned over and reached out to lift Rong Jingqiu's chin, "I'll look, my face turned pale. Isn't you still alive?"

Rong Jingqiu angrily patted his hand, wanting to bite the bastard's hand hard and exude the anger in his chest. Unfortunately, this occasion cannot tolerate her being presumptuous. The emperor and the queen should have left, but they cannot resist the fact that there are many royal family members and female relatives here. If she does something extraordinary, the consequences will definitely be very sour and rumors can drown her.

Xia Wei, who was about to salute, was stunned. Zhao Yu was the ninth son of today, and she recognized him. She had seen him with her aunt Empress Dowager Xia. When she first met her, she was quite surprised. After all, the ninth prince was so beautiful that she couldn't help but take a few more glances at it.

However, these two eyes attracted the cold and murderous eyes of the Ninth Prince. She was frightened to have nightmares for several nights. The final conclusion was that the Ninth Prince was beautiful, but it was a dangerous and fatal existence, and she was definitely an object that could not be provoked.

But now, seeing his interaction with Rong Jingqiu seems to be another face, which makes her, who wants to remind Rong Jingqiu to pay attention, immediately put her worries back into her stomach. Judging from this intimate behavior, the relationship between the two is definitely quite good.

Her eyes looked at Princess Qinglan on the side. The royal princess and Rong Jingqiu were very close friends at first sight. She was not worried. Her worries just now seemed a little unnecessary. She was thin-skinned and felt her face burning. Fortunately, she didn't speak self-righteously, otherwise it would have become a joke.

Many things cannot be carefully considered. Now it is a royal family banquet. The women who can attend are either married to the royal wife or noble daughters of royal blood. The ones she can get in is due to the empress dowager's aunt's mercy. So what is Rong Jingqiu, who is also a foreign surname, rely on?

The answer is self-evident. The future royal daughter-in-law is also the daughter-in-law of the ninth prince.

My aunt, Empress Dowager Xia, did this for her. When she felt her aunt's affection, she suddenly felt her nose sore. Whether it was Rong Jingqiu or Princess Qinglan, they didn't have to stay in this corner like her, but they all accommodated her and spent time here with her.

Although I was a first meeting, this care and considerate care is so warm. My heart, which was once hurt by my close relatives, gradually no longer felt so painful.

"What are you thinking? Look at this little face, and he looks moved." Princess Qinglan turned his head and saw Xia Wei's eyes with tears and a look of gratitude. She was shocked and asked quickly.

These words also made Rong Jingqiu and Zhao Yu, who were busy fighting, stop quickly and look at Xia Wei.

Zhao Yu's expression was cold. He knew about Empress Dowager Xia's niece. He once thought she was a nerd and gave a warning on the spot. Fortunately, he knew how to advance and retreat later, which made him look a lot about her.

However, this did not make him really relax his vigilance against her. He had to know what Empress Dowager Xia wanted to do? He let her niece, who was in the flowery season, come to the palace to accompany her, and also attended the royal family dinner in an extraordinary manner. He seemed to want to push the daughter of the Xia family. As for whom she wanted to push, it was unknown.

After all, Empress Dowager Xia only has the reputation of the Empress Dowager, and it is still uncertain to want to burn a hot stove among the princes. Marriage is the most common and advantageous method.

However, all these thoughts gradually disappeared after finding out Xia Wei's background.

There are many daughters in the boudoir to be married in the Xia family. Xia Wei is not the best in terms of appearance, and she is better than Xia Wei, so he temporarily believed Empress Dowager Xia’s words. To choose a good marriage for Xia Wei, it is not enough to rely solely on Empress Dowager Xia himself. She also has to add chips to Xia Wei so that her husband can’t be disliked in the future.

Now it seems that his fiancée should be chosen by Empress Dowager Xia to play this role. She used her as a bond to build Xia Wei's social circle, bypassing the female relatives of the Xia family who refused to take Xia Wei to socialize, and gradually creating a good reputation for Xia Wei. Naturally, someone will see her value. So why don't you not have the favor of the noble son?

A gift of a colorful treasure, a phoenix head hairpin is exchanged for these, and the deal is not a loss.

What surprised him was Rong Jingqiu's attitude. With her intelligence, she didn't know Empress Dowager Xia's plan at first. After the contacts later, I believe Rong Jingqiu already had an answer. She sometimes knows the times very well, but sometimes she is so fierce that she has done something to shy face in public.

But she was extremely friendly to Xia Wei, which can be seen from the subtle expression on her face.

Rong Jingqiu didn't know what Zhao Yu was thinking. Even if she knew she would still treat Xia Wei as before, and she would be rewarded with a drop of water. This is cause and effect.

"What's wrong?" She was really worried at this time.

Xia Wei didn't expect that such a misunderstanding would be caused, and hurriedly said, "I was just moved when I thought of the two little sisters treating me well." She was not good at lying, so she still said what she was thinking.

Princess Qinglan immediately burst out laughing, "Where is this? Just this, my sister, it's still too early to be moved."

Where can I be so simple as such a girl? If she hadn't had previous communication, she would have thought she was pretending, but now it seems that this girl's temperament is really like this.

She has been in contact with the daughter of Hou Xia's family in Dingbei. No one has such a temperament. Xia Wei's temperament should have been developed in her hometown in the countryside.

"Yes, there are many things to be moved in the future, and this thing will not be worth mentioning at that time." Rong Jingqiu agreed, stretched out her hand to hold Xia Wei's hand and held it tightly. She should have a different life in this life.

She hopes that Concubine Xia will never come to her.

Zhao Yu originally sneered lightly, but when he saw Rong Jingqiu holding Xia Wei's hand, his eyes immediately sank.

"It's getting late, I'll send you out of the palace and back home." He suddenly said, and reached out to pull Rong Jingqiu up.

This sudden action made Rong Jingqiu refuse, so the hand had to let go of Xia Wei's hand and hurriedly turned back to look at Zhao Yu, "What's the hurry? We haven't finished talking yet..."

"When you finish your words, it will be dark." Zhao Yu interrupted her.

Xia Wei, who was moved, wanted to say a few words in her heart, but when she saw Zhao Yu like this, she didn't dare to stay in Rong Jingqiu for a long time, so she hurriedly said, "It's really getting late. Miss Rong, Princess, you should leave the palace as soon as possible."

"I can't bear to leave you." Rong Jingqiu said to Xia Wei very bluntly, completely disregarding Zhao Yu's dark face behind him. Who would have missed him? "Let me go back and beg the Queen Mother and allow you to visit my house."

Xia Wei's feeling of separation just now was dispersed by the last sentence. This was the first time since she returned to Beijing that someone invited her to live in the mansion. Her eyebrows were filled with joy, and finally she said embarrassedly, "Is it too troublesome?" She wouldn't take other people's politeness seriously, right? After all, she has made such mischief more than once.

"How could it be? Just go and make trouble for her." Princess Qinglan smiled, "It's okay to come to Prince Cheng's Mansion. There will be many banquets after the New Year. I'll take you to play at that time."

"Yes, don't underestimate yourself. How can there be trouble between good sisters?" Rong Jingqiu smiled, "If you have something to bother us, that's what makes us feel heartbroken."

Such words moved Xia Wei very much, and indeed more and more things would be moved.

What happened here soon came back to Queen Mother Xia to know. Queen Mother Xia, who was lying on the imperial concubine's couch, was immediately sitting upright and saying to her confidant nanny, "Those two girls really say that?"

"How can I make up such words from old slaves? These words were indeed said by Princess Qinglan and Miss Rong San. They are getting along well with our girls." The confidant nanny quickly swears to the sky and promises.

Empress Dowager Xia hurriedly said, "You are the same, you just have a few words to make a vow. How can I not believe you? I am just afraid that the temperament of Wei will be deceived, otherwise I would not have tried my best to find a girl with a good heart to help her." Finally, she sighed.

She had no children or daughters in her life. After taking Xia Wei with her side for a while, she really treated Xia Wei as her child. She would have completed her responsibilities by choosing a good marriage for her.

"It's better that the Empress chooses Miss Rong San. This girl is much better than the girls in the Xia Mansion."

Empress Dowager Xia still sighed, "I hope so." She paused, "You go to Dingbei Hou Mansion to pass the order and let the girl Wei's mother enter the palace."

She still has to have a good talk with her brother and sister. No matter how Xia Wei has to reconcile with her family, she will be reliable when she gets married in the future. The past is really not so important, and the past should not be kept in mind.

In the carriage on the way back, Zhao Yu squeezed in and sat with Rong Jingqiu. Princess Qinglan had been thrown back to the carriage of Prince Cheng's Mansion by Zhao Yu. Don't always pester his fiancée. This attitude made Princess Qinglan scream on the spot. However, he glanced at him and the cousin shut up immediately, and it was indeed very sensible to the times.

"You have to ride in the same carriage with me just to ask this?" Rong Jingqiu looked at him suspiciously.

"I'm just pointing you out. The Queen Mother is not a simple person. She is not an underestimated character who can start such a bad start into the current situation." Zhao Yu said, "As for Xia Wei, how much do you know about her? Do you know her past again..."

"I know the Queen Mother's abacus, but so what? I just met Xia Wei, and it's not surprising that friendship has emerged. Some people are not friends for a long time, but some people know at a glance that this is a close friend for life. The reason is that simple." Rong Jingqiu retorted seriously, "This has nothing to do with what kind of past Xia Wei..." At this point, she suddenly opened her eyes wide, "Wait, do you know her past?"

The Xia family's attitude towards this daughter was very strange. This was something she couldn't figure out. She had checked it before but there was no result. At that time, she guessed these pasts... Maybe it was a scandal, otherwise it would not be so secretive that it would even deal with all the insiders.

The Xia family has lush branches and leaves, and many descendants. Xia Wei's parents are not the eldest son, but the third son, similar to the existence of her fourth uncle Rong Bo.

It is said that the Xia family doesn't care about this daughter, but after so many years, they brought the person back. Everything is strange. The more she is peeling off the cocoon, the more confused she becomes. After all, there are too many things that make sense.

Zhao Yu adjusted his comfortable sitting posture and said leisurely, "If you don't want to know others, you will not do it yourself. There are many things to leave traces in this world."

The speaker is unintentional, the listener is intentional. When Rong Jingqiu heard the saying that if you want others to know, unless you don’t bow your head guiltily, you must not let the bastard Zhao Yu know her plan, otherwise she will be really dead.

"What are you doing?" Zhao Yu looked at her suspiciously, "What's your guilty thing? I'm hiding something from me?"

Rong Jingqiu was startled and shook her head and said, "How could it be? Don't blame a good person for wronging him."

"What are you nervous? I'm just talking casually." Zhao Yu said.

When he was staring at him, Rong Jingqiu felt his scalp numb, but he still gritted his teeth and looked at him, "What are you doing now? You said that there are traces left by the geese, what can I hide from you?"

"But one sentence makes you reply a few words, for nothing, I'm wrong."

"You are wrong, you can't deny it."

“…”

In the end, Zhao Yu couldn't say that Rong Jingqiu was, or he didn't even think about defeating her, so Rong Jingqiu gained the upper hand.

Seeing Zhao Yu retreating step by step, she changed her mind, "You haven't told me what kind of past does Xia Wei have?"

"You really want to know?"

"Aren't you talking nonsense? Do you like to talk or not."

Rong Jingqiu glanced at Zhao Yu with a sideways glance. The charm of the circling waves made Zhao Yu's mind move. He quietly approached Rong Jingqiu's ears, as if he was rubbing his ears, but in fact he whispered in her ears.

Rong Jingqiu suddenly opened her eyes wide, looking disbelief.

What did she hear?

Loss of celebrating?

"How is that possible?" she murmured, then glared at Zhao Yu, "Maybe it meant to deceive me?"

"What am I going to do with you?" Zhao Yu snorted coldly.
