Chapter 571
Xin Rou stared at the bronzing invitation card sent by the Eastern Palace, and Pu Juncheng spread his five fingers and waved in front of her eyes: "Cousin, what are you thinking? You don't pay attention to my cousin talking to you..."

Only then did Xin Rou come to her senses, and she changed into a sad look, and kept stirring the orchid embroidered handkerchief in her hand: "My cousin is now on the rise, and even the East Palace has sent invitations to my cousin for the sake of Prime Minister Shen. I'm happy for my cousin."

Pu Juncheng frowned: "Who would be happy for humanity with a bitter face? Tell my cousin, why are you so unhappy?"

Xin Rou was waiting for Pu Juncheng to ask her, her emotions were brewing, and she said with red eyes: "I am really happy for my cousin, but I can't help but think of Rou'er's own situation."

She paused, tucked the corners of her eyes with an embroidered handkerchief, and said in a mournful voice, "Rou'er's status is low, and her father and elder brother can't help her. After many years of scientific research, she doesn't even have a reputation. I'm afraid Rou'er will miss out on such a solemn occasion." , even if you can go there, you will be ridiculed."

Only then did Pu Juncheng understand that his cousin was hurt by the scene, and he sighed with emotion about his life experience.

Speaking of which, regardless of talent or appearance, the cousin is not inferior to the daughter of the family, but she is defeated in the family. The cousin has a high spirit, so it is no wonder that she is sad.

Thinking of this, Pu Juncheng's heart softened, he held him in his arms, and comforted him softly: "Cousin, don't underestimate yourself, those rich families may not be better than you."

But the comforting words didn't seem to have any effect, Xin Rou cried even more when she heard the words: "I'm afraid that Rou'er can't compare to the talents of those ladies from aristocratic families..."

"Why?" Pu Juncheng was confused by these words.

Xin Rou wiped away her tears, lowered her head and said shyly: "My cousin is a talented person, and His Majesty values ​​him, he has a bright future, Rou'er is afraid that he will go to many banquets like his cousin, and be missed by others, and then he will not Put Rou'er in my heart..."

The beauty in his arms was crying like pear blossoms and raining, and when he spoke love words that made his body and mind feel warm, Pu Juncheng's heart had already turned into a puddle of water, and he couldn't help hugging her even tighter: "Rou'er is like the other side in my heart." The bright moon, even if it is a daughter of any family, it can't compare."

After a pause, she continued: "Rou'er was just a little bit unlucky when she was reincarnated. If she was cast into the belly of the wife of the aristocratic family, she would be able to bear the title of the most talented woman in Beijing now!"

"Cousin is used to saying nice things to make people happy." Xin Rou burst into tears and gave him a gentle push on his chest, causing Pu Juncheng's heart to tremble.

"I'm not talking nonsense, every sentence is the truth, if you don't believe me, you can see for yourself." Pu Juncheng pulled Xin Rou's hand and pressed it to his chest with some distraction.

Xin Rou shyly lowered her head, joked with Pu Juncheng, and felt sad again: "Only my cousin thinks so much about Rou'er, others may not think so."

At this moment, Pu Juncheng was obsessed with lust: "That's because they were not lucky enough to meet Rou'er. If they saw you once, who would dare to play tricks on you." Then he went to pull her belt.

Xin Rou half pushed and half agreed to let him take some advantage, but she absolutely couldn't give her body to him now, she had a small calculation in her heart, and she didn't forget to say the business: "Father has no official position, how could Rou'er have such a chance to be with a noble family?" contacts……"

Pu Juncheng had already controlled him, panting slightly: "What's the difficulty? Tomorrow, Rou'er will accompany me to the East Palace for a banquet. It will surely amaze everyone and make the noble ladies in Beijing feel ashamed."

What Xin Rou was waiting for was his words, and she couldn't help hugging his neck with joy in her heart, but she refused: "Well, this is probably not good! The person invited by the crown prince is his cousin, and he didn't post it to the Xin family. ..."

With a beautiful woman in his arms, Pu Juncheng still had no intention of thinking about whether it was proper etiquette, and said vaguely: "Rou'er, don't worry, the prince's post said that you can bring family members, and Rou'er is my family..."

The next day, before dawn, Xin Rou got up from the bed to tidy up, and ordered the maid to turn over all her clothes from the box and spread them all over the bed.

She picked and picked among them, and after changing three or four sets, she still felt that it was not to her liking, so she threw the clothes on the bed in annoyance.

In the end, it was the maid who coaxed and persuaded her to choose a water pink embroidered magnolia and Wu Ling double breasted paired with a lotus color floral dress.

Use white magnolia twigs and gold hairpins to tie a black silk into a lingyun bun, put on a pearl flower, and look at the bronze mirror. It is as bright as the moon in the sky and as quiet as a lotus emerging from the water. Only then can I go out with satisfaction.

Pu Juncheng was obsessed yesterday and agreed to take his cousin to the East Palace, but he regretted it afterwards.

Such an occasion where the rich and powerful gather is a good time for many wives of high-ranking families to see a good son-in-law. If he shows up with his cousin, it will break many of his marriages.

But the words have already been promised, according to my cousin's temperament, if I don't take her to the banquet, I'm afraid it will be hard to be kind, so I can only bite the bullet and go to Xin's mansion to pick up someone.

When Xin Rou came out, Pu Juncheng had already been waiting at the door for a while.

Xin Rou shyly smiled: "I kept my cousin waiting for a long time."

"It's okay, it's okay." Seeing that his cousin was dressed more beautifully and attractively than before, Pu Juncheng put the displeasure just now to the sky.

Pu Juncheng brought his cousin to the East Palace, and there was already a bustle of cars and horses at the gate, and all the dignified mansions in Beijing were invited.

Pu Juncheng was only a seventh-rank official before. He had never seen such a scene before, so he couldn't help feeling a little apprehensive, but he didn't want to show timidity in front of his cousin.

The little yellow gate at the door extended the two of them into the East Palace with a smile on their faces, and Pu Juncheng took his nervous cousin to greet the princess.

Shen Zhaozhao also looked forward to Pu Jun's coming, but he exchanged a few words with him very accommodatingly, and then glanced at Xin Rou who was following Pu Juncheng: "Who is this?"

Pu Juncheng said respectfully: "This is my cousin, named Xin Rou, who admires the Crown Princess very much, but because of her humble status, I didn't have the chance to see her. I was lucky enough to have this opportunity, so I brought her here."

As she spoke, she winked at Xin Rou, Xin Rou knew in her heart that she should say a few more flattering words at this time, but from the corner of her eye, she caught a glimpse of a few noble ladies in brocade clothes around her, but she couldn't say anything when the words came to her lips exit.

After a long while, she finally regained her composure, reserved like a young lady from a family, and said calmly, "The daughter of the people pays her respects to the Crown Princess and congratulates the Crown Princess."

Everyone's expressions changed when they heard the words. Although today was Prime Minister Shen's welcome banquet, no one expressed congratulations clearly, because this happiness was like a reminder of Prime Minister Shen's imprisonment.

Shen Zhaozhao glanced coldly at Pu Juncheng, then at his imitating cousin: "You don't have to be so polite." Then he left.

Only the embarrassing Xin and Pu Juncheng were left behind.

Because Pu Juncheng was a male guest, it was inconvenient for him to stay in the backyard. He took a deep look at the cousin who offended the princess, "Be careful in the backyard, and don't talk nonsense."

After finishing speaking, without waiting for Xin Rou to open her mouth, she hurried to the front hall.
