Chapter 33
After all the ministers saluted together, it was time for everyone to present gifts. Xie Muyan yawned boredly, and picked up the dried fruits on the table leisurely and peeled them. Spread a full layer of fruit peel.

"Hmph, she really is an unrefined country girl! It's fine if you don't choose daddy's birthday gift, but now it's daddy's turn and you still don't care at all."

Xie Wanrong squinted at Xie Muyan, who was looking leisurely and content, and said with contempt.As soon as he finished speaking, he smiled alluringly at the diagonally opposite position, nodded his head slightly, and looked like a completely different person from just now.

"I don't have anything to worry about about your Xie's family. I'm just a girl who is dragged by you to eat and drink. Why, if you don't want to, you can tell Xie Zuoxiang not to invite me. "

Xie Muyan snorted coldly, leaned back, this posture was more leisurely than before, and glanced at Xie Wanrong beside her.It seemed that she had carefully prepared her outfit tonight, but it was a pity for her to wear such beautiful clothes.

Xie Wanrong didn't show her ferocious face again as usual, she just turned her head and smiled lightly, such a gentle and tranquil appearance made Xie Muyan dazed all of a sudden.

However, when she followed Xie Wanrong's direction and saw the man in the light blue shirt, she immediately understood.

After all, Xie Ang was a first-rank minister in the court, so the seat he was assigned was also a little more forward than the others, and this front happened to be diagonally opposite to the several princes and princes opposite.

And at this moment, who else is the most dazzling besides that voluptuous and handsome Mu Jiayu?It's no wonder that Xie Wanrong became so gentle in an instant.

Mu Jiayu raised the wine glass lightly, and put down the glass lightly with her thin pink lips touching the rim. The ceramic quilt hit the fine mahogany table, making a muffled sound.

For some reason, Xie Muyan was facing Mu Jiayu face to face, and there was a burst of noise around her, but she just heard the sound of Mu Jiayu's wine glass dropping on the table.

For some reason, Xie Muyan lowered her head with a guilty conscience, and quickly raised the teacup in her hand to cover her face, and she came back to her senses after she almost lost her composure just now.

It's just that from the corner of the eye, I couldn't help but look over there, and I saw the corners of Mu Jiayu's lips slightly upwards, and the two enchanting lips were gently separated.As if whispering something.

"You came."

Even though they were so far away, Xie Muyan could still clearly see the message that those lips were trying to convey.

However, before Xie Muyan could react, Xie Wanrong who was at the side shouted in a low voice. She pinched Zou Shi's leg, "Mother, the Fifth Prince talked to me!"

Xie Muyan glanced at her like an idiot, then picked up the teacup again, imitated others drinking and glared at the woman beside her in displeasure.

But it was obvious that Xie Wanrong, who was still immersed in the charming smile of the Fifth Prince, did not have time to quarrel with Xie Muyan.

After the ministers gave the birthday gifts, the next banquet was the most important part.But Xie Muyan, who had already disposed of a lot of dried fruits, was no longer hungry.

Just when Xie Muyan was looking around boredly, thinking about when would be the best time to leave, she saw a group of eyes looking around.

"Who is that woman next to Miss Zuoxiang? Why doesn't she seem to have seen it before?"

"I don't know, I just came over for the banquet. However, there were rumors in the capital a few days ago that the second lady of Xiangfu, Xie Muyan, has returned. Could it be her?"

The start of the dinner meant that people had the opportunity to chat wantonly. At this moment, someone finally had the opportunity to inquire about Xie Muyan.

Although everyone didn't know her, they could guess it by thinking of the rumors in the capital.Xie Muyan smiled politely in the direction of the discussion, then raised her glass to cover her face.All comments about myself are automatically blocked.

She is really not interested in flirting with these people.

Mu Jiayu was still sitting in the same place, his gaze was on Xie Muyan's body lightly, and he took a few sips from the wine glass in his hand from time to time, without showing any emotion.

"Fifth brother, what are you looking at!"

However, his indifference to everything around him does not mean that the people around him are also indifferent to him. The fourth prince hugged the concubine beside him, raised his wine glass to Mu Jiayu, and said with a playful face.

"It's nothing." Mu Jiayu drank the wine in his glass and replied without turning his head, just like he always did.

"Oh?" The fourth prince didn't seem to give up just like that, he looked in Mu Jiayu's direction, and saw Xie Muyan who was calmly peeling melon seeds, a flash of surprise flashed across his face.

Rao is that no matter how many beauties he has seen, none of them can give him this feeling.

"Haha, Fifth Brother, you have a good eye. It's just a pity... Since it's useless to keep it for you, if you don't dislike it, someday I will make her your emperor's wife, so you can watch it anytime. no."

The fourth prince said regretful words, but he looked at Mu Jiayu with a playful look in his eyes, and the concubine beside him pushed him, so he let go of his restless hand.

He turned his head back early, and didn't see the sneer that flashed across Mu Jiayu's face after hearing the word Huangsao again.

However, the fact that the Fourth Prince couldn't see it didn't mean that the girls couldn't see clearly.

Except for Xie Muyan, all the women at the banquet looked at her shyly, covering half of their face with the forehead kerchief in their hands, shaking their eyelashes a few times, and looking at Mu Jiayu with watery eyes.The petite and lovely appearance of each of them is really pampering.

Xie Muyan looked helplessly at the women around her, twitched the corners of her mouth, and looked Mu Jiayu up and down a few times.She was very skeptical that if they saw Mu Jiayu in Miss Qiu's room that day, would they immediately pounce on him.

When the wine was full, everyone also felt that just drinking like this was very boring, and the singers and dancers in the palace were already bored with watching, for a while, there was really no fun to do.

"I see that quite a few of the grown-ups here have brought their own daughters. It's rare for you all to have such a good opportunity to gather together. Why don't you invite the young ladies to perform?"

Just when everyone was bored, a concubine on the other side of the emperor stood up, smiled and said to everyone in the audience.

Xie Muyan glanced at the woman lightly, guessing her status in her heart.She doesn't have any friends in the palace, and no one introduces her who is who, so she can only rely on guesswork.

It was Concubine Li Gui who was speaking, she was as favored as the queen, but because of her birth, she was no match for the empress, so she only became a noble concubine.

"Okay." Li Guifei had just finished speaking, but Xie Ang was the first to stand up.

"Since Concubine Li Gui said so, I think this is very good. The little girl in the family is not talented, but she also specially prepared a butterfly love flower. Now I am honored to present it to my empress and Your Majesty. Long live the emperor, long live the empress. Thousands of years, thousands of years."

Xie Ang stood up and spoke, but Mrs. Zou pinched Xie Wanrong's thigh under the table.Xie Wanrong raised the corners of her mouth proudly, glanced at Xie Muyan provocatively, followed Xie Ang to sit down, and walked to the center amidst the shouts of everyone.

"The courtier is not talented, please don't blame your empress and Your Majesty."

Xie Wanrong's resolute appearance attracted the attention of many people.At this time, Xie Wanrong was wearing an orange skirt, and the belt around her waist was pulled up casually, making her already pretty figure even more exquisite.

Xie Muyan sneered, no wonder she was so quiet these days, but she went to dance practice.

Xie Wanrong bowed slightly to the crowd, and glanced at Mu Jiayu beside him from the corner of her eye, but saw that he was still looking at the direction just now with no expression on his face.From this angle, following his gaze, it was actually facing Xie Muyan.

A sharp look flashed across her eyes for an instant, but after the sound of the pipa accompanied by the sound of the flute, her body also twisted.

For a moment, the water sleeves fluttered, and Xie Wanrong's movements were sometimes gentle and sometimes violent. With the blending of the sound of the piano and the flute, Xie Wanrong's body also rapidly changed various movements, like a butterfly obsessed with flowers, or like a butterfly who is infatuated with flowers. That coquettish open peony.

For a moment, everyone at the banquet stared straight at Xie Wanrong's dancing posture, for fear that they might miss the slightest detail.

Xie Muyan looked coldly at the woman who was in the limelight on the stage, sneered, and drank tea and ate snacks on her own, without being affected by Xie Wanrong at all.

Since she wants to show off so much, let her go.Xie Muyan naturally understands the truth of shooting the first bird.

Not far away, Mu Jiayu saw Xie Muyan's complacent expression, and suddenly smiled lightly.Compared with the enchanting and colorful dance, he still felt that the little girl opposite was more interesting.

The sound of the piano was getting faster and faster, and Xie Wanrong's movements were also getting faster and faster. Suddenly, the notes like a shower stopped instantly, and at the same time, Xie Wanrong's movements also stopped suddenly.

next moment……

Xie Ang applauded first, and there was a sound of applause in the imperial garden. '

Xie Muyan sneered, still going her own way, without being disturbed by anything on stage.

"Haha, great dance!" Xie Wanrong stole the limelight with a dance, even the emperor applauded her.She bowed slightly to salute, but the moment she bowed her head, there was a sly look in her eyes.

"My daughter, thank you for your compliment, but your majesty doesn't know that my younger sister, Xie Muyan, has a better talent than my daughter, and she also practiced at home for a long time. I implore your majesty to give my younger sister a chance."

Xie Wanrong lowered her head, looked at Xie Muyan provocatively, and sneered.She knows how much Xie Muyan can have. She was kicked out by Xie Ang at the age of five. What talent can she have?
"Oh? Is there such a good thing? Thank you, Zuoxiang?" The emperor turned his eyes when he heard the words, looked at the little girl who had been quietly staying beside Xie Ang, and frowned slightly.

Can such a thin child do it?
"I also ask the emperor to forgive me. My sister is joking. How can my sister Qu Quzhuoyi be compared with my sister? My sister is just looking for fun with me."

Before Xie Ang could answer the emperor's question, Xie Muyan stood up first, facing the emperor's blessing, and then answered.
