970 Birthday (3)
Shen Miao stood up with a smile and said, “Ba Jiao and the others are still waiting outside. Let’s go.”
The few of them went out together and saw that the carriage was already prepared. Ba Jiao and Hui Xiang were guarding outside. Jingzhe asked curiously, “Is Master not going with us?”
Hui Xiang replied, “His Highness has already gone and asked us to come and pick up Madam.”
This made people feel that something was wrong. The prince and the princess consort did not go out together, but one after the other. Anyone with a brain could tell that something must have happened. Jingzhe and Gu Yu were a little indignant for Shen Miao, but Shen Miao said indifferently, “Alright, let’s go.”
She knew what kind of person Xie Jingxing was. He was a proud person by nature, but at times, he was as stubborn as a child. She did not mind this, but at the thought of her “apology” tonight, she felt nervous.
Bixiao Restaurant was the largest and most expensive restaurant in Long Ye. Not to mention the commoners, even those high-ranking officials would face a lot of difficulty if they wanted to set up a banquet there. Today, the entire restaurant was booked, which was enough to show how rich Price Rui was.
At the head of the table, a young man sat diagonally, listening to everyone’s compliments with a casual smile. His purple-gold robe almost covered the entire seat.
There were also women among the guests who came and went. Looking at the young man, they couldn’t help but admire him. Prince Rui was young and handsome, and he was elegant and charming. Coincidentally, he was the kind that women were most infatuated with. In addition, he had a noble status and was rich.
Unfortunately, he was already married at such a young age. However… Although he had a princess consort, wasn’t the position of secondary consort still empty? Even if they couldn’t be a secondary consort, they would fight to be the concubine.
Lu Wan’er sat beside Madam Lu with her eyes fixed at Xie Jingxing. Two years ago, when she first saw Xie Jingxing, she had already fallen in love with him. The seat beside him should have been hers, but now it was occupied by that stupid woman, Shen Miao! At the thought of this, Lu Wan’er was furious and wanted to tear Shen Miao into pieces. She wanted to go over and talk to Xie Jingxing, but now, those officials were all praising Xie Jingxing. No matter how bold she was, it was impossible for her to talk to him in front of so many people. She couldn’t help but feel a little unhappy.
Turning around, she saw Ye Mei talking to Ye Ke. Lu Wan’er’s expression darkened.
As a woman, she always found pretty women a threat. Lu Wan’er had been pampered since she was young and had the best jewelry and clothes. Therefore, she always looked down on the women around her. In the entire Long Ye, she thought that she was not much different from a princess. She did not even care about the Ye family, which was as famous as the Lu family, because the Ye family had almost no descendants.
However, when Lu Wan’er saw the long-lost children that the Ye family found, she was not happy at all.
