The princess is coquettish and coquettish, conquering the emperor's master

For this kind of banquet, men and women usually have different seats.

After Lingyu brought Meng Qing into the flower hall, he knelt on one side and poured her a cup of honey tea.

After Chu Yingxue exchanged pleasantries with the girls at the banquet, she involuntarily glanced at Meng Qing.

She raised her beautiful eyes, "I don't know which high-ranking family in Yujing Miss Meng comes from?"

The girls present were also very curious about this question.

For a girl who can live in King Yong's Mansion and is taken care of by Meng Zhiyan like this, her father and brother should be of high rank.

Meng Qing was stumped, her lips parted slightly, and she hesitated to speak.

But after thinking about it, he couldn't be too high-profile, so he said: "My family has opened a restaurant in Yujing, and it's not a high-profile family."

Her answer made the girls sigh.

She thought she was a girl of such a high family background, she could be cared by the prince, but unexpectedly she was also the daughter of a merchant.

The girls with official status at home looked at Zhou Mi and smiled disdainfully.

Chen Rongrong didn't think it was a big deal to watch the excitement.

"I just went to Aunt Yujing's house to play for a while a few days ago. You all know that my aunt is married to a doctor from the Ministry of Industry. She has a big family and a big business. She often takes me out for fun. I just don't know what restaurant Miss Meng runs. I can't tell. I went to drink."

"Thousand Gold Tower."

Qianjin Building?
The women began to discuss.

This Qianjin Tower sounds very powerful, as if the name is true to its name, it really has a thousand pieces of gold.

It's just that Chen Rongrong's words suddenly broke this beautiful illusion.

"Qianjin Restaurant? I remember that it is a restaurant that has just opened, and the business is a bit bleak."

"How could it be? The Qianjin Tower sounds very popular, why has it just opened?"

"I heard that the prominent families in Yujing always like to open restaurants, and there are five or six of them. Could it be that the Qianjin Restaurant is just one of them?"

"It's possible."

Meng Qing said frankly: "It is true that it has just started not long ago."

"Huh? So it's really a newly opened restaurant?"

"That's a pity..."

Chu Yingxue felt much more relieved when she heard the sighs from the people around her. She said, "Then Miss Meng stayed in Yujing well, so why did she come to Jinguan City for a short stay? Could it be that her family came to Shu because of the profit and loss?" Are you looking for opportunities in the world?"

Meng Qing had a headache.

Why do you keep asking, are these little ladies so curious about her origin?
Meng Qing didn't indulge Chu Yingxue, she just pursed her lips and didn't answer.

The flower hall was silent.

Chu Yingxue was a little embarrassed, the corners of her mouth twitched wildly, and she couldn't get off the stage.

Some girls wanted to please Chu Yingxue, so they took the initiative to take over the conversation, and sneered at Meng Qing for a while, making her look extremely ugly.

Ling Yu pouted and looked at the faces of those people, then whispered into Meng Qing's ear: "Your Highness, why don't you just say that you are from the Xiao House, so as to save them from looking down on you like this."

Meng Qing had a calm mind and didn't want to create too much momentum.

"The Xiao family is very powerful. He became the Grand Tutor within a few years of high school. He often goes in and out of the palace, and he is favored by his father. Some time ago, he also served as the Minister of the Household Department. It is really inappropriate to mention him on this occasion."

"That's right... the lord, he went to the land of Sanwu to comfort the people. I don't know if he has returned to Yujing at this time, and found that His Highness has come to Jinguan City."

Meng Qing ate a mouthful of hibiscus flower cake, and thought to herself: You can't let Xiao Yan know, otherwise her thoughts will be fully exposed in front of Xiao Yan.

This anti-shuang banquet was long and indefinite, and Chu Yingxue felt that it was boring to gather together to compose poems, drink wine and eat snacks, so she began to suggest that everyone should show off their talents.

Chen Rongrong likes to see people make a fool of himself, so she mentioned Meng Qing.

"What kind of talent does Miss Meng have? I wonder if we have the honor to ask Miss Meng, a noble girl from Yujing, to show us a thing or two?"

Meng Qing paused quietly as the tea reached her lips.

All eyes fell on her.

She gracefully put down the blue and white porcelain teacup, sat in a decent posture and said, "I don't have any talent, sorry."

Chen Rongrong made a look of surprise on purpose, "No talent? But I heard from my cousin that the girl in Yujing is good at piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and she often imitates the imperial concubine in the palace. If there is no talent, the family must not be able to afford it Teacher's?"

Meng Qing was speechless.

When she took a step back, Chen Rongrong pushed her nose up on her face, especially Chu Yingxue's attitude of watching a play.

Ling Yu preemptively said: "Can't afford to invite a teacher? Ms. Chen must be cautious in her words and deeds. My girl learned from the current Taifu Xiao and learned excellent piano skills. She is especially good at calligraphy and painting. My girl is a role model. Even the imperial concubine that Miss Chen calls her a goddaughter."

Meng Qing: "..."

Excellent piano skills?
You Shan calligraphy and painting?

Lingyu!You will wear a high hat for others!

As far as her three-legged cat's piano skills are concerned, how can she have the nerve to talk about them?
Although calligraphy and painting are good, they are just mediocre.

Meng Qing almost vomited blood and died.

I only heard Chen Rongrong's meaning, "Teacher Xiao? But Xiao Shangshu who took over as Minister of the Household Department a while ago?"

"Yes."

"But I heard that Xiao Shangshu's students are all the princesses and noble girls in the palace. I haven't heard of other students, and I don't know what kind of daughter the imperial concubine has..."

Meng Qing replied: "There are still many things that Ms. Chen doesn't know."

Chen Rongrong: "..."

The atmosphere in the flower hall is strange and unpredictable.

Chu Yingxue said with a sneer: "Since Ms. Meng is not willing to show her talent for us bumpkins, then that's all, let's play our own."

Meng Qing lowered her willow eyes and continued to talk to Lingyu in a low voice, not paying attention to Chu Yingxue at all.

And Chu Yingxue's fingertips also quietly penetrated into the flesh.

After the Frost Rejection Banquet was over, Meng Zhiyan came to the flower hall to wait for Meng Qing in person.

Meng Qing was about to go over, but Chu Yingxue took the initiative to meet her and stood in front of her.

"Brother Shizi."

She smiled like a flower, completely different from just now.

Meng Qing: "..."

Meng Zhiyan frowned, moved Chu Yingxue aside a few steps, and pulled Meng Qing up.

Chu Yingxue's expression was dull, and she said coquettishly, "Brother Shizi now has a younger sister, so don't you see me as a younger sister?"

"How come, Yingxue is also my younger sister."

Before Chu Yingxue could speak, Meng Qing said first, "Brother, let's go back home."

Chu Yingxue clenched her sleeves tightly, and was pulled into a ball by her, but she could only watch the two of them leave.

Why can this woman of unknown origin stand beside Meng Zhiyan, why can't she?
She must marry into the palace and become the master of Jinguan City...

Chu Yingxue waved to the servant at the side.

The little servant bowed forward.

"Girl, what are your orders?"

She covered her lips with her hand, and said softly: "Send some people to Prince Yong's Mansion to keep an eye on Meng Qing, I want to know all her whereabouts."

"As ordered."

After all, the servant immediately acted according to her request.
