The rebirth of the noble concubine Wushuang

Chapter 572 Toast
Pu Juncheng was unfavorable at the beginning of his career, so he couldn't help but regret bringing his cousin to the East Palace, but there was nothing he could do at this point, so he might try to save some in the front hall.

But his enthusiasm was useless. The officials in the front office just exchanged a few symbolic greetings, and then returned to their respective small circles, turning a blind eye to Pu Juncheng, an "upstart".

Pu Jun deliberately felt angry, he just felt that he had suffered a great humiliation, he just stood in the corner and drank a cup of wine, vowing that if he becomes powerful in the future, he will trample everyone present under his feet.

After Pu Juncheng left, Xin Rou's situation became even more embarrassing.

Hong Meiyu saw everything just now, and when Shen Zhaozhao came over, she took her hand affectionately: "The princess is really hard, and she has to deal with the village women who are waiting for the poor to come out."

The ladies around couldn't help but chuckled when they heard the words, and one of them echoed: "She's not a dog but a tiger..."

Shen Zhaozhao smiled noncommittally, and flattered another at the right time: "I don't even look at my identity, I am not worthy of carrying shoes for the princess, the princess benevolence gave her three points of face, she is about to open a dyeing workshop .”

Shen Zhaozhao supported his pregnant belly and smiled: "It's common for those who come out of a small sect to have never seen the world, but people have self-knowledge. If they are too pretentious, they will suffer a lot sooner or later."

The contacts between the noble girls are all based on the tacit understanding, everyone knows the elegant meaning when they hear the string song, and they look in Xinrou's direction with understanding.

I saw her standing pitifully under the corridor, looking a little at a loss.

Everyone couldn't help feeling a little bit embarrassed, they had seen a lot of women like her who had no family background and boasted some talent and appearance.

On the one hand, he wants to squeeze into the circle of nobles to enjoy privileges, but on the other hand, he pretends to be noble and self-admired. Not only can he not achieve his wish, but he will be laughed at by others.

Xin Rou originally thought that Pu Juncheng had just been appointed by His Majesty to be promoted to an official position, and that she was a hot celebrity in the court, so she would rise to a higher level because of this, even if she was not treated like a star, she would not be left aside to blow the cold wind.

The more Xin Rou thought about it, the more she felt unwilling. It was hard for her to get such a chance. If she couldn't become famous and become friends with these ladies from aristocratic families, she didn't know when she would be able to attend such a grand banquet next time.

After the banquet started, Xin Rou went through a painful struggle, and finally made up her mind. She got up from the table where the low-level officials were seated, and walked towards the seat where Shen Zhaozhao was seated, holding a cup.

Hong Meiyu and Shen Zhaozhao exchanged handkerchiefs, so they naturally sat beside Shen Zhaozhao. From the corner of their eyes, they caught a glimpse of Xin Rou coming over with a glass of wine, deliberately gossiping with Shen Zhaozhao.

Xin Rou had just touched the Crown Princess' bad luck, and now she came here to make amends, so naturally she didn't dare to interrupt the conversation between the two of them rashly.

As Hong Meiyu said, she winked at everyone, and all the ladies and ladies present laughed lightly and started "chatting" with the Crown Princess.

About a quarter of an hour later, Shen Zhaozhao turned his head suddenly, and looked at Xin Rou who was standing beside the table with a glass of wine in astonishment: "You made me jump, why are you standing here?"

Xin Rou was very embarrassed, and said awkwardly: "I disturbed the princess, please forgive me, the daughter of the people has admired her for a long time, and today she is blessed to see her, the daughter of the people is overjoyed, if there is something wrong, please forgive me. Your Majesty forgive me, and the women of the people drink this cup to respect your Majesty."

As he spoke, he drank the spicy wine in the glass in one gulp, which made her face blush.

Shen Zhaozhao glanced at Hong Meiyu and remained silent. Hong Meiyu immediately said in a strange way: "Toast is just toast, why stand behind the princess concubine and sneak around, if you frighten the empress and get pregnant, you have a hundred Not enough heads!"

Xin Rou heard Pu Juncheng talk about Qin Tianjian's dream interpretation, and knew how much His Majesty valued the child in the concubine's womb. Hearing this, Xin Rou's heart skipped a beat, her cheeks that were still blush just now turned pale with fright, and hesitated and hesitated. Pleading guilty or should retreat.

Shen Zhaozhao is a measured person. Seeing that Hong Meiyu frightened people into silence, he opened his mouth to smooth things over: "This palace is not so delicate, and besides, the person in this womb is a lucky star of destiny, how can I be so frightened."

She glanced at Xin Rou with a pale face, and then said: "You don't need to be so cautious, and you are familiar with each other after having a drink with all the ladies and wives."

The little maid who was serving at the side filled up the wine for the wives and ladies with a very winking look, and finally remembered Xin Rou who was sticking to the table like a log, and reluctantly filled her wine glass with good wine.

After the Crown Princess spoke, everyone naturally didn't dare to touch her face, even if they looked down on Xin Rou, they still had to raise their glasses to drink with her.

Shen Zhaozhao relieved Xin Rou casually. Xin Rou was very grateful and flattered: "...the folk girls are not as talented and learned, not as knowledgeable as the ladies and ladies. Long experience."

Shen Zhaozhao was prone to sleepiness during pregnancy, and drank alcohol again. At this time, he was a little sleepy, and he agreed casually: "Of course." But he didn't mention the extra seat for Xinrou.

Xin Rou was overjoyed at first, but when she was about to stay, she realized that she had no seat to sit on, and she didn't dare to ask Shen Zhaozhao for a seat to be annoying, so she could only stand at the table in embarrassment, wishing to find a crack in the ground to sneak in.

Seeing everyone present talking and laughing happily, Xin Rou became more and more ashamed. What she saw and heard today was the wealth and honor of the world that she had never known before, subverting her previous thinking.

This kind of bustle and bustle not only made her feel uneasy, but also made her heart surge and yearn for it.

If he was unconvinced in the past, now he is not reconciled, unwilling to bury his talent and appearance in the small family of the Xin family.

And the embarrassing noble ladies in front of her are the ladder of her life.

Thinking about it this way, the embarrassment and humiliation in front of him are not so unacceptable.

Xin Rou was lost in thought when Hong Meiyu's voice suddenly reached her ears: "I'm talking to you but you can't hear me?"

Xin Rou looked over and met Hong Meiyu's disdainful gaze, suppressed the grievance in her heart, and said with a smile: "My ladies and gentlemen are well-informed and knowledgeable, and the daughters of the people are fascinated by it. Please don't blame me."

Hong Meiyu smirked and waved at her: "The maid serving the banquet has gone somewhere to make a fuss, and it's okay to be around you, why don't you pour wine for the ladies and ladies while listening."

Xin Rou was startled, and looked at Hong Meiyu in disbelief: "Me?"

"Otherwise, who else?" Hong Meiyu was a little dissatisfied.

Xin Rou felt extremely humiliated, and looked at Shen Zhaozhao with the last ray of hope, only to see that Shen Zhaozhao was talking and laughing happily with his wife beside him as if he had never heard of it.

Seeing that Xin Rou hadn't moved for a while, Hong Meiyu said impatiently: "If you don't want to, no one will force you, you just go back to your seat."

Xin Rou's complexion changed after hearing the words, and finally endured the humiliation and took the flagon.
