MTL - The Reborn Noble Daughter

Chapter 11 11. Birthday banquet

Feng Jinyao couldn't bear to see her like this, so she spoke to comfort her.

"Well, it's grandma's birthday today. I saw that there are pots placed on the waterside pavilion. I guess both male and female guests can show off their talents. Then you will show your face so that everyone knows that the Wei family has strict rules and regulations, and the Bai family has strict rules. Not all of them are outstanding people.”

"Really?" Bai Siruo's eyes suddenly brightened, and Feng Jinyao coaxed her like a child, and nodded accordingly.

The two sisters were chatting and laughing, and got quite close to each other. It was not until the maid outside said that a guest had arrived that they got up and went to greet them.

At this moment, the gate of Baifu was crowded with guests. Carriages stopped one after another on most of Chang'an Street. The vendors outside were busy setting up stalls nearby, with birthday greetings and shouts coming one after another.

Butler Qin of the Bai Mansion asked the doorman to bring some roasted chestnuts and distribute them to the children who were watching eagerly outside.

　　After having eaten, the children happily congratulated Mrs. Bai. When Butler Qin looked at her, his usually stern face also became warm.

 The backyard was also becoming lively at this moment.

 Lao Madam Bai had two of her best friends when she was young.

 One is the old lady of Zheng Guogong's family, and the other is the wife of the Hussar General's palace. Now the two of them, one on the left and one on the right, are talking to each other.

“You are so lucky after all. I heard that your Xiaoqi is also pregnant?”

Mrs. Bai asked Mrs. Zheng Guogong with a happy smile. At their age, what they like to talk about most is the shortcomings of their parents.

When Mrs. Zheng Guogong gave birth to a child in her youth, she was injured due to dystocia, so she only had one son. She originally thought that having an heir would be more difficult, so Mrs. Zheng Guogong even specially took in several good concubines. Unexpectedly, Zheng Guogong was a man who loved his wife as much as she loved her. , dismissed the concubine at home without saying anything, and lived with his wife.

After the prince grew up, he married a girl from the Yin family, and his belly seemed to have been opened. One child after another, he gave birth to seven children in a row, four sons and three daughters. All of them were outstanding. Now even the youngest girl has She was pregnant, and the family was very prosperous.

"No, it's just that her fetus is not yet firmly seated. I asked her to rest her head at home so that she would not join in the fun. After she gives birth successfully, I will ask her to come and pay your respects to my sister."

　　"Children are important. My old lady is in good health. When the time comes, I will have to give my little great-grandson some good gifts."

 “Just pamper them.”

The two old ladies were chatting lively, but the lady next to them was not very talkative. She just listened to their gossip quietly, with a smile on her lips.

Bai Siruo brought Feng Jinyao here. As soon as he entered the gate of Shoukangyuan, he happily greeted a woman.

 “Mingyue, I’m over here!”

 The person called Mingyue is none other than Mr. Xu Ge’s granddaughter, Xu Mingyue.

With eyebrows like a crescent moon, an apricot face and peach cheeks, from a distance, he lives up to his name, as bright as a bright moon, making people feel close to him but afraid of being blasphemed.

"This is my cousin from the Feng family. You call her Ayao. She was not in good health before, so she rarely attended banquets. Today, while there are many people, I will take her out to meet more people."

Bai Siruo introduced from the side, and his words were a little more intimate.

 “Hello, Sister Xu.”

"Ayao, you're welcome. This little bully has never introduced a sister to me. It's not easy for you to win her attention."

Xu Mingyue said jokingly that she and Bai Siruo hit it off instantly, and their relationship was not generally good.

Although Xu Mingyue comes from the Xu family, and the rules in the family are also very complicated, she is not a strict woman. She has a certain amount of progress and retreat, and obeys the rules and regulations. At the same time, she has a cheerful temper and is not restrained at all.

 When I first met Feng Jinyao, I was attracted by her calm eyes. Feng Jinyao was also impressed by Xu Mingyue, but more because of the memory of her previous life.

After Xu Mingyue was disowned by the Liang family in her previous life, she did not seek death or live in mischief. Instead, she went directly to Yunqi Academy and became a wife. She was no worse than a man. With such a temperament and a pattern, Feng Jin Yao Da admired him from the bottom of his heart.

 After seeing her show of goodwill, he also wanted to get close to her.

The three of them chatted and laughed for a while, then they saw a group of people coming in.

The leader is naturally the famous noblewoman Wei Lanxuan in Dongdu City. She has a picturesque look on her face and looks forward to the sky. Her fiery red fox fur cloak makes her even more charming.

Followed naturally were Liang Luo, the legitimate daughter of the minister of Dali Temple, and Wen Yuwei, the niece of the minister of official affairs, as well as the daughters of several petty officials, who appeared in Shoukang Courtyard like stars holding the moon.

Feng Jinyao had no time to care about what others were doing, but Wen Yuwei looked at her with eyes that were filled with poison.

 She whispered a few words quietly in Wei Lanxuan's ear, and the group of people looked at Feng Jinyao, and their expressions were not very good.

Wei Lanxuan walked towards the three of them with a smile, but when Bai Siruo thought she wanted to say hello, she just nodded slightly and led the group into the main room, leaving the three of them alone.

 “What a grand gesture.”

Bai Siruo frowned slightly and said that she had never had any bad relations with Wei Lanxuan's group. Normally, they would exchange a few words when they met, but what happened today, they didn't say a word.

Xu Mingyue didn't feel surprised and whispered to the two of them.

“I heard that Concubine Wei is going to act as a matchmaker between her and the Ninth Prince. In the near future, the Wei family will have another prince and concubine. This is a great wedding event, and I think the status will be even higher."

 No wonder he is so arrogant, it turns out that he wants to marry the royal family again.

The Ninth Prince is the only son of Concubine Wei. Not only is he already an adult, but he is also deeply loved by His Majesty. It is said that he intends to be crowned a prince. If the news is true, he is the first person of his generation to have this honor. Even the Queen's direct descendant Even the eldest prince is not as sharp as him.

The Wei family is still extremely powerful and has endless honor and favor.

Bai Siruo curled her lips, she had no interest in these.

Instead of seeing those people clinging to the Wei family's dog-faced behavior here, it would be better to go to Qinxiangyuan to guess lantern riddles first.

 “Ayao, let’s go.”

Bai Siruo turned around and saw Feng Jinyao with a thoughtful look on her face. She put her left thumb and index finger on the stove and rubbed it back and forth.

 When she just saw Wei Lanxuan and Wen Yuwei standing together, she suddenly thought of something.

She had never understood before that why the Wen family wanted Wen Yuwei to send the jade, even at the cost of marrying their legitimate son Wen Mengsheng.

I'm afraid it's not just as simple as trying to seduce her?

If it was because of the power of the Feng family, then after the two of them got married, the Feng family had already been divided into the Nine Princes Party by outsiders.

What's more, after getting married, she did trouble her father and brothers a lot about her husband's family affairs, and even her grandfather's family was involved.

What happened that made the Wei family and the Wen family willing to cut off one of their own arms rather than frame the entire Feng family to death?

unless…
