The paranoid prince is crazy, but I have been quietly reborn

Chapter 49
In the side hall of the Hall of Supreme Harmony.

"Miss Lu, you are so delicately dressed today. Compared with you, there is a real difference!"

Lin Yiman, the youngest daughter of Dali Temple Qinglin's family, used to say nice things to please Lu Pingting.

This flattering sentence also transferred the nervousness of the crowd to Lu Pingting.

Her father is the current prime minister, if he can become a good friend with her, it will be beneficial and harmless to his family.

Everyone followed Lin Yiman to surround her. Today, Lu Pingting was wearing a bright blue dress of Sichuan brocade, and with the light-colored pearl hairpin on her head, she was indeed gentle and charming.

After hearing Lin Yiman's compliment, Lu Pingting's eyes flashed with disdain, but there was still a smile on her face.

"Iman, you see, the other sisters are also pretty. We are performing for the empress's birthday today, so naturally we have to dress the best."

The rest of the ladies also chatted around Lu Pingting, naturally they all praised her for her good looks, her temperament and so on.

Only Zhao Lian's daughter, Zhao Pingping, sat by herself, watching the group of people complimenting Lu Pingting boredly.

"Really? I don't see anything more than that in her body."

A delicate voice came from outside the hall, instantly interrupting the compliments of the crowd.

Lu Pingting's face was flushed, she was about to see who didn't even give her face, and everyone also looked at the source of the voice.

"It's Qin Ruoxi!"

someone yelled.

Qin Ruoxi is the orphan of King Ruyang. Ruyang King was proclaimed by the former emperor. He died of illness five years ago, leaving Qin Ruoxi with a daughter. The empress dowager took pity on her and raised her by her side. She is the county lord of Jiacheng, and now she is given the county lord's mansion, which is regarded as a great honor.

Her illustrious status and unrivaled honor and favor made her extraordinarily spoiled, even Lu Pingting was no match for her.

Today Qin Ruoxi was wearing a bright red palace dress, but at the age of fifteen or sixteen, this dress set off her fair and transparent skin, making her very playful and cute.

Lu Pingting gritted her teeth and saluted Jiacheng County Lord together with everyone.

"See Lord Jiacheng."

Qin Ruoxi raised her chin slightly, with her hands behind her back.

"The Queen Empress asked you to perform at the Qianqiu Banquet, but you are here to discuss whose clothes look good. It's a mess, no one cares about it?"

Lu Pingting turned her eyes, and suddenly stepped forward to remind her.

"The aunt of the Kunning Palace said that Princess Yu came to make arrangements today, but the sisters were nervous for a while because Princess Yu hadn't seen her yet, so we found other topics to distract our attention, lest we get too nervous and make mistakes in the performance. It swept away the interest of the empress."

These words were very good. First, she shifted the responsibility of being unattended to Su Youning, Princess Yu, and then explained that the situation of everyone surrounding her in a mess just now was to relieve everyone's tension.

Qin Ruoxi raised her eyebrows slightly, she didn't seem to be disgusted with Lu Pingting's words, she blinked her big eyes and asked the maid in the hall.

"When will Princess Yu come?"

When asking this question, Su Youning had already walked in with the maid.

The palace lady was a little astonished, seeing the Jiacheng county magistrate who appeared here at this moment, she quickly returned to her senses and saluted.

"Slaves see Jiacheng County Lord."

Qin Ruoxi looked at the girl in palace attire who was following behind the maid, looked her up and down and then asked.

"You are Princess Yu?"

Su Youning listened to the maid call her Jiacheng county magistrate, although she was very disgusted with her questioning tone, she still nodded slightly.

Just as Lu Pingting and the others were waiting to see the good show of Princess Jiacheng annoyed by Princess Yu, Qin Ruoxi suddenly smiled, and stepped forward to grab Su Youning's hand.

"The empress dowager said that Princess Yu had just saved her, so I wanted to see what kind of person she was. I didn't expect that Princess Yu was almost the same age as me!"

Su Youning was slightly startled, and almost didn't realize Qin Ruoxi's sudden smile on her face, and smiled quietly after regaining consciousness.

"It's just a coincidence, it was You Ning's good fortune to turn the empress dowager from danger to safety."

Qin Ruoxi narrowed her eyes slightly and looked at Su Youning, with a smile on her face that seemed very satisfied.

"You still have something important to do today, so I won't chat with you any more. I have time to sit in my county lord's mansion."

Everyone in the side hall was stunned. Qin Ruoxi, who has always been arrogant, was so polite to Su Youning, and the meaning in his words was that Su Youning accidentally saved the queen mother?

Lu Pingting was so angry that her teeth were itching, and her hand holding the handkerchief gradually tightened.

When Qin Ruoxi left, Su Youning looked at the beautiful ladies in the room and felt dizzy for a while, but she still had to hold back to arrange the performance, and said loudly.

"Have you recorded the content of the programs prepared by the ladies?"

The maid in the side hall handed over the brochure.

Su Youning roughly flipped through, there are songs, dances, operas, sword dances, guqin, pipa, etc.!

It's just that most of them are dance-based. After thinking for a while, Su Youning quickly decided to start the show with dance, interspersed with the rest of the program, and finally ended with dance.

Thinking about it this way, I picked up the pen on the table and began to mark the order in front of the programs reported by the ladies. What is the corresponding number of the program?

Lu Pingting frowned and looked at Su Youning when she came in, her eyes were full of dissatisfaction.

Earlier, she sent invitations to Prince Yu's mansion, wanting to see what was so strange about Princess Yu, and she actually asked her to arrange this matter, but she didn't expect that what she waited for was a rejection letter.

Before coming to the side hall, she was with Lin Suya again, and she heard Lin Suya talk about Su Youning's clever mouth when she visited today, and she was even more displeased at this moment.

"Princess Yu, do you decide on your own without discussing with the sisters? So many programs are arranged according to your order?"

The ladies naturally have an order in which they want to appear on the stage. Some are timid and want to be in the back, and some are brave and want to perform quickly.

Lu Pingting grasped this point, causing everyone's dissatisfaction with Su Youning.

Sure enough, Lin Yiman was the first to agree with Lu Pingting.

"Miss Lu said exactly what she said, Princess Yu, the Empress only asked you to make arrangements, but no one let you make the decision alone!"

The other ladies began to discuss in low voices, their frowning showed their dissatisfaction with Su Youning.

Ruyi started to panic, with so many young ladies, she knew quite a few people whose family background was higher than Su's, not to mention Lu Pingting who was the leader.

The maids of the Kunning Palace all retreated to the side at this moment, looking like they were watching a good show.

Su Youning pursed her lips and watched everyone chattering in front of her.

Zhao Pingping suddenly rushed from behind to the front.

"Since the Empress has given it to Princess Yu, we must listen to her!"

Su Youning glanced at Zhao Pingping gratefully.

Lu Pingting snorted coldly.

"It's an arrangement, but everyone's thoughts must also be taken into account. If everyone listens to her, wouldn't it be a talk."

Seeing that Lu Pingting spoke again, everyone immediately agreed.

"Yes, Princess Yu should discuss with us."

"that is!"

"Yeah, I don't want to be the first one, what if I make a mistake?"

Su Youning watched the commotion in the side hall, and smashed the booklet in his hand heavily on the desk beside him.

This kind of movement silenced everyone instantly, Su Youning said with a serious face.

"Do you want to keep arguing? Do you want to keep arguing?"

"The Qianqiu Banquet has already begun. At this moment, there is no lady performing in the hall. If everyone still wants to argue, then we will leave time for everyone."

Immediately afterwards, Su Youning took the booklet in his hand and presented it to everyone.

"It's just that I have arranged all the programs in the brochure. You Ning people are very light-hearted, and they can't say that everyone will play, so let everyone go. If the empress asks questions, everyone can explain themselves."
