Chapter 87 Entering the Palace (4)
Du Yanyun looked around, couldn't help pursing his lips and said with a smile: "Grandmother and the others are too busy right now, let's find a seat to sit down!" Then he waved for a maid, who led them in to the Du family's family members Reserved seats.

The female family members who came to participate in the palace banquet in the main hall were naturally rich or noble, and the arrangement of the seats was also particular. On one side, the official female family members were lined up in order, and on the other side, the honorable female family members sat in order of rank.

And the seat of the Du family is ranked first among the officials' wives, that position is particularly prominent, and it is also the closest to the chief seat.

So when the three of Du Yanyun and the others sat down, a lot of eyes turned around, and those who didn't know each other guessed their identities one after another. From time to time, some people whispered and pointed.

Du Yanyu tensed up a little, and said nervously, "Second Sister, why are they all looking at us?"

"What are you afraid of? Those people are either envious or jealous. Just pretend you didn't see it."

Du Yanyun pulled her lips and smiled. It's not that she has never seen such an occasion, and she got used to it after a while. She peeled an almond and put it in her mouth, then pushed the plate forward, "Third sister also try it." .”

Du Yanyu gave a dry laugh. After all, he couldn't be as relaxed as Du Yanyun, so he took the almonds and peeled them stiffly.

Xiao Huaisu looked left and right but didn't see the sisters Xiao Huaichang sitting at the table. He wondered if they had gone to another place. When he glanced to the right, he saw a purple-clothed girl squinting at the seat next to them. The appearance is quite arrogant and disdainful.

The girl was only eleven or twelve years old. She was wearing a rose-purple dress and a tulle cloak painted with gold powder and flowers.

Xiao Huaisu couldn't help frowning slightly, pulled Radu Yanyun's sleeve again, and asked in a low voice: "Second cousin, who is that person, who keeps staring at us?"

Du Yanyun turned his head to take a look, snorted softly, and then waved his hands indifferently, "That's Song Simiao, the granddaughter of Song Gelao, she used to look like that, as if someone owed her, just ignore her that is."

Song Gelao's granddaughter?

It turned out to be her... Xiao Huaisu narrowed his eyes slightly, it seemed that Song Simiao was the one who deliberately punished Xiao Huairou just now.

"Old Song Ge?"

Du Yanyu couldn't help but interrupt when she heard the conversation between the two in the middle of eating, "I heard from my father that Mr. Song Ge and his grandfather have political differences, and they are still enemies!"

"Oh?"

Du Yanyun raised his eyebrows, and the smile on his lips was half a smile, "When did the fourth uncle tell you? I don't know that the third sister is still concerned about political affairs now?"

Seeing Du Yanyun's teasing smile, Du Yanyu couldn't help but blushed slightly, pointed at Xiao Huaisu and said: "It's not that my cousin told me to get closer to my father, I often go to my father's study to look for him, once I just happened to hear..."

The corners of Xiao Huaisu's mouth twitched slightly, and his smile was stiff. Du Yanyu was convinced that Du Yanyu could touch her in every corner.

Du Yanyun glanced at Xiao Huaisu, the corners of his lips curled up slightly, "Third sister, it's wrong for you to eavesdrop on fourth uncle's words, and now you're still implicating your cousin, be careful I'll go back and sue you."

"Yes, sue her!"

Xiao Huaisu was also booing at the side, whoever told her to lie down would also be shot.

The sisters were laughing, and Wang Ziya walked over under the guidance of the maid. Today, she was wearing a water-red long dress, covered with a silver-red short jacket inlaid with pale pink pearls. It is adorned with a silk flower knot, and the streamers at both ends of the flower knot hang down the corner of the skirt, which is extremely elegant when walking, lining her gentle and beautiful face, as delicate as a glazed doll.

After Du Boxian got married, she was considered a member of the Wang family. As the eldest daughter-in-law of the Marquis of Yanping, their mother and daughter did not sit with the Du family at the palace banquet, but diagonally across from them.

At this moment, Wang Ziya came here to say hello to them.

Seeing that Wang Ziya was approaching Xiao Huaisu's table, Song Simiao's eyes flashed at the other table, and the cup in his hand was moved forward, and the bright red fruit wine spilled on Wang Ziya's long skirt, and he was shocked. She took two steps back.

"ah!"

The maid who led the way gave a soft cry, looked at Song Simiao and then at Wang Ziya, but she didn't dare to say anything, she just stood aside respectfully with lowered eyes.

Wang Ziya was already docile, but she was being bullied at the moment, but she just blushed and bit her lips, and said no accusations without anger. She came all the way from Yanping and didn't know the layout of Bianjing City, but see Song Simiao's seat is so close to the Du's family, presumably they are also family members of high-ranking officials, and she will not say anything casually to hurt each other's face.

But Wang Ziya thought so, but others obviously didn't appreciate it.

"Oh, I'm really sorry, my hand slipped for a while!"

Song Simiao clapped her hands, with an innocent expression on her face, combined with her delicate appearance, it was hard to make people angry, but when she turned her eyes towards Xiao Huaisu and the others, she raised her eyes slightly, full of provocation.

It's her again!
Xiao Huaisu's gaze sank, this Song Simiao was really naive, did she do this to make an enemy of the Du family or something?
Or does she have to step on anyone who is related to the Du family?
"you!"

Du Yanyun's face was also slightly gloomy, and just as she was about to go forward to help Wang Ziya, Xiao Huaisu held her hand and said without turning her head: "Second cousin, I'll go!" As he spoke, he stood up abruptly , with a trace of coldness in his voice.

"What are you looking at me for? You said it wasn't intentional."

Song Simiao glanced at Xiao Huaisu, she was just a four or five year old girl, she didn't care if she stood in front of her and was less than her shoulder.

Xiao Huaisu pulled the corners of her lips, and a sly light flashed in her eyes. Suddenly, she staggered, and her body uncontrollably rushed towards Song Simiao. Fortunately, Song Simiao reacted quickly, and quickly stretched out her hand She supported her, otherwise the two of them might hug each other and roll on the ground.

"cousin!"

This change was so sudden that Du Yanyun and Du Yanyu stood up abruptly.

Even Wang Ziya didn't care about the wine stained on her dress, several people were about to go forward to pull Xiao Huaisu up, but unexpectedly this girl who is usually very clever, flopped a few times in front of Song Simiao, Only then was he straightened, and he took a breath and said, "It was because of my unsteady feet that I bumped into Ms. Song, but Ms. Song has always been a lot of adults, so she probably wouldn't take it to heart." She flipped her wrist, Blocked the silver light on the fingertips.

"you……"

Song Simiao gritted her teeth, but her face turned blue. Who knows if this girl did it on purpose?But with so many pairs of eyes watching, if she really wanted to argue with Xiao Huaisu, she would look too petty, so she immediately snorted and ignored her.
