C10 Viewing Feast 1

"Mother summoned me to the banquet?" Xiliang Mo, who was washing pomegranate flowers in her own yard, looked at Zi Di and raised her eyebrows with a smile that was not a smile.

Zidai is a second-class girl who is serving beside the first wife. She has brought a half-used jewelry box and a few pieces of clothing with her." Zidai is a second-class girl who is serving beside the first wife, who has brought a half-used jewelry box and a few pieces of clothing.

"Thank you, Second Madame. Big Sister Zi Di, you've worked hard. Please take a seat in the courtyard. I'll help you change your clothes as soon as possible." Bai Rui hurriedly took the clothing and jewelry box from Zi Dai and the little girl that came with her. She invited them to sit down, then entered the room with Xiliang Mo to change their clothes.

Bai Rui beamed at Nanny Bai, who was the only one doing menial chores in the yard. It was rare for Your Lordship and Madame to think of Miss so easily. After Miss had made a good marriage, they could all look forward to it.

Nanny Bai smiled merrily as she sat down beside Xiliang Mo. "Miss, don't underestimate this servant who helped you comb your hair. She also served Miss Jing that year. She'll definitely let Miss Jing be pretty and get a good husband." Miss Jing was State Duke Jing's only sister and also a famous beauty in the capital. She had married a distant ethnarch in Shu and hadn't returned for many years. However, she doted on Xiliang Mo, her niece and daughter.

"I don't need to worry too much about this. I just want to make a simple and refreshing bun. Being too ostentatious isn't a good thing either." She had been malnourished for a long time, and her stature was even smaller than the other two sisters. These clothes must have been given to her by Second Madame because she was afraid that she was afraid that she would not be able to get a good look at all the old coarse clothes.

It was unknown if it was Second Madame or Your Lordship's idea, but she suddenly remembered that this cheap daughter of hers was here. If something was amiss, then it was a monster. She wasn't as expectant as Bai Rui and Nanny Bai.

Nanny Bai thought about it and made a double bun for Xiliang Mo. She also picked out a silver hairpin with Han Erbao embedded in it from the jewelry box held by Bai Rui. There were also two small eastern pearls hanging on Xiliang Mo's hairpin.

After some decorations, Xiliang Mo and Xiliang Mo then led Bai Rui to follow Zi Dai out of the courtyard.

In the front yard, the pond was breezy and the water was in the open. Everyone was drinking and talking.

Marquis Ning, Crown Prince, took the cup and leaned over to the side of the young prince, whispering to him, "I heard that the eldest daughter of the Mansion of the Guo Family has never been favored since she was young. She's also average in looks, has never been taught since she was young, and has never been known for her vulgarity. It's unknown whether this is the reason why Second Madame Han didn't let her come out."

Si Liufeng's face was expressionless as he said indifferently, "This King does not know anything about the other's residence. I only heard that the Wu Steel Manor is very strict, so there shouldn't be a problem."

Marquis Ning, Crown Prince, had been met with an uninteresting situation. He knew the personality of this crown prince, who was usually indifferent and cold, so he rubbed his nose and turned away to discuss beauties with Young Master Li from the Soldier Shang Xia.

Si Liufeng's gaze swept past the golden gauze and coincidentally saw Fourth Miss staring at him. When he heard that she was the only one of the ladies who knew martial arts and looked to be rather capable, he couldn't help but smile.

Xiliang Dan, on the other hand, only felt that the young prince was smiling at her with a refined and elegant demeanor, as if a white cloud was rolling over the horizon.

Si Liufeng was once praised by the emperor for his gentle and beautiful appearance of jade. As the number one gongzi of the capital, many women admired him, and if she didn't want to enter the palace, she would have fallen for him. However, Si Liufeng was not that easy to win over.

Everyone had different thoughts in their minds, but a voice as calm as spring water rang out. "Your daughter greets father and mother."

Everyone saw a beautiful young girl leisurely walk up to the pavilion, respectfully bowed to Your Lordship and his wife, and then blessed everyone.

Xiliang Mo wore a goose-yellow sweater and a pleated skirt made of verdant makeup. The sunlight fell on the fine glass beads, osmanthus flowers and jasper leaves on her forehead. Although they weren't expensive accessories, they added a bit of luster to her pale and petite face, like a beautiful little daisy blooming in the sunlight.

However, to the noble officials and their wives, this attire was too fragile.

Those with sharp eyes could see that although the clothes were made of fine material, they were half-grown and somewhat misshapen. It was evident that this young lady was not favored. Besides Lady Chen whose eyes were filled with pity, the other ladies' gazes were much more indifferent.

Some of them didn't know what was going on and said, "This must be the young miss. She looks to be about the same age as the young miss."

Second Madame didn't need to look to know that Madam Ning had mocked him for being harsh on his daughter. She carried a cup of tea and said with a smile, "Sister Mo has always been a provocative person. No one can do anything about her. The sun is high, so quickly sit down."

Since the time he was a girl, he had not been on good terms with Madam Ning. If it weren't for the fact that Marquis Ning was a newbie but also had the emperor's eyes and Crown Prince's strong points, she wouldn't have even bothered to invite her.

Xiliang Mo felt goosebumps all over her body when she heard those seemingly pampered words. However, she still smiled and said, "Mother dotes on us both."

Although they acted like motherly and filial children, anyone who cared could tell that they loved Second Madame dearly. The difference in the attire of their sisters wouldn't be that great, so Madam Ning looked at Second Madame with even more disdain and mockery.

Second Madame didn't care at all. Originally, she didn't even think about letting Xiliang Mo come, but since Your Lordship had asked for it, she might as well let Xiliang Mo come. Without those dog-tailed grass like people to support her, how could she possibly show that the direct daughter she raised was a Luoyang Peony?

After Xiliang Mo sat down, she ignored the excitement of the banquet and the flattery given to her by the crowd. Unconsciously, she seemed to have a calm temperament which met the requirements of a lady of a noble family. Although she wasn't as well-received as Xiliang Dan and Xiliang Xian, and also attracted a few looks of praise, the crowd's focus was still on Xiliang Dan and the others.

But if you don't cause trouble, trouble will always find you.

Madam Ning couldn't stand Second Madame's attitude of being the number one in the family. Smiling, she asked Xiliang Mo, "I wonder what kind of books Miss Mo reads normally, and what are her mischievous side effects?"

Second Madame snickered to herself when she heard this. Other than knowing a few words at a young age, how would that stupid girl know how to read any other book?
