After Reincarnating, the Ice-Cold Prince Won’t Leave Me Alone

  Chapter 63 Banquet incident

  Xu Ningyue stared resentfully at Pei Ning's leaving back.

  I can't figure it out, he obviously smiles so gently, why doesn't he like to talk to himself?

  However, remembering that Sister Su Qing said that she would help her just now, she became happy again.

  In her heart, as long as it is what Su Qing wants to do, there is nothing that cannot be done.

  When Pei Ning passed by the three of Shen Mingjiao, he glanced casually, and when he saw Gu Danxue with his head down, his eyes paused.

  Gu Danxue happened to raise his head inadvertently, and met a handsome face with a gentle smile. She blushed and lowered her head in embarrassment.

  Pei Ning raised his eyebrows unexpectedly, his eyes flashed.

  Shen Mingjiao was so bored listening to the babbling vocals that she felt like she was about to fall asleep.

   It happened that Gu Danxue was going to go to the bathroom at this time, so she also went out to get some air.

  Shen Mingjiao watched Gu Danxue go to Gong's room, walked forward in a boring way, and Haitang who followed behind pointed to an empty space in front: "Girl, there are people playing throwing pots over there."

  Shen Mingjiao followed her gaze and saw two or three girls standing there,

   When the master and servant walked over, the girls just left, and a lot of arrows were scattered on the ground.

  Shen Mingjiao picked up one casually, stepped back to a certain distance, raised her arm, and lightly threw it at the piercing ear pot on the opposite side.

   As a result, she missed the shot, and she didn't even touch the body of the pot. She didn't give up and continued to pick up one,

   Still missed, and farther away from the body of the pot. She wrinkled her nose angrily and continued to fight repeatedly.

  Haitang felt itchy to watch, and joined in with great interest.

   But because she was too strong, she threw the arrow directly into the pond across the road.

   Seeing this, Shen Mingjiao, who had suffered repeated failures, finally got some comfort, and couldn't help laughing.

   This scene happened to be seen by Pei Ji who was passing by the front yard. Hearing the soft and brisk laughter in his ears, he couldn't help but stop in a daze.

  Looking at Shen Mingjiao, who was wearing a red dress and smiling wantonly under the shade of a tree, he couldn't take his eyes off no matter what.

  He just stood there quietly for a while, and it seemed that the unhappiness in the front yard just now dissipated a little.

  The Yasukuni government was rehabilitated in one day. Outsiders all said that he, the heir of the Duke of Yasukuni, must be proud of himself.

  But Pei Ji has not been having a good time these days. People who used to dismiss him now came over one after another, and were forced to deal with various dignitaries every day.

  He didn't feel happy, but felt physically and mentally exhausted every day.

  He just wants to study and take the imperial examination with peace of mind, and serve the court in the future. But no one can understand such a simple idea, including his wife.

   Shen Mingyan is not the only one who has a beautiful vision for married life.

   But after getting married, he gradually discovered that the girl with a sunny smile and full of vigor seemed to be just his imagination.

  After getting married, Shen Mingyan seemed to be a different person. Every day, she only knew to fight with her aunts and sisters-in-law over small things. Every time the two didn't speak a few words, she started to complain.

   It's been so long, he doesn't even want to go back to the backyard,

  Shen Mingjiao threw dozens of throws in a row, but unexpectedly missed even one, so she immediately grabbed several throws in frustration and threw them all out.

  She felt her sleeves being pulled lightly, turned her head, saw that it was Gu Danxue, she asked without energy: "I'm back."

  Gu Danxue hummed softly, glanced at the arrows scattered all over the ground, and asked in a low voice, "Princess like throwing pots?"

  Shen Mingjiao said dejectedly: "I don't like it anymore, who made me always miss the shots!"

   "Hey, tell me, who invented this stuff, it's so difficult..."

  Before he finished speaking, he stared wide-eyed at Gu Danxue, who casually grabbed an arrow and threw it forward. There was only a "pop", and the arrow was stably inserted into the piercing pot not far away.

   At the end, he whispered, "It's not difficult."

  Shen Mingjiao: "..." Well, it's really not difficult, it turns out that she is just too stupid.

   Haitang behind her looked at Gu Danxue with admiration on her face: "Miss Gu, so you are so good at throwing pots!"

   This is the first time Gu Danxue has been praised by someone, and she was flattered immediately, "Also...it's okay, I learned it from my dad when I was young."

  Shen Mingjiao was also full of admiration for her, "You can go to the pot throwing competition now, and you will definitely win the prize."

  In order to keep fit, the imperial court held competitions such as throwing pots, cuju, polo and archery every two years.

  Gu Danxue smiled shyly. Those who participated in the competition were either court officials or the sons of powerful eunuchs with titles, and she was a woman, so how could she be eligible to participate in any competition?

  Pei Ji watched Shen Mingjiao and the others leave, then stepped forward, picked up the arrow that Shen Mingjiao had just used, and crushed it unconsciously with his fingertips, as if the breath of the other party still remained on it.

  He raised the arrow, threw it lightly, and with a snap, it fell steadily into the pot. As the arrow fell off, he felt inexplicably lost in his heart.

  On the way back, Shen Mingjiao sensitively noticed that Gu Danxue was absent-minded.

   When she was about to return to the flower hall, she still couldn't help but asked worriedly, "Are you all right?"

   Gu Danxue shook his head hastily: "No...it's okay..."

  Shen Mingjiao raised her eyebrows, she doesn't seem to be fine.

  Gu Danxue lowered his eyes, unable to bear the thought of what happened just now.

  …

  But said that not long ago, Gu Danxue walked out of Gong's room, and was about to go back with Shen Mingjiao.

   After walking a few steps, a clear and pleasant male voice behind her stopped her: "Girl, please wait a moment."

Gu Danxue turned her head in doubt, and saw the young man she had seen in the flower hall standing a few steps away from her, holding a handkerchief in his hand, smiling at her with a gentle and handsome face: "Girl, your handkerchief fell off .”

  Gu Danxue blushed and lowered her head, stammering: "I... this is not my handkerchief..."

  After saying this, she heard the young man chuckle, as if pleased by her reaction.

   Then stepped forward a few steps, and when she was in a daze, put the handkerchief directly into her hand,

   Staring at her eyes, he smiled softly and said, "The girl's eyes are so beautiful!"

  She stood there holding the handkerchief in a daze, watching the man go away, feeling a little at a loss for a while.

  But at this moment, Su Qing came out from nowhere,

   Meet the meaningful eyes of the other party. Gu Danxue shrank the hand holding the handkerchief.

  Su Qing stepped forward and took her hand, with a gentle smile: "Danxue, I haven't seen you for a long time, why did you have a quarrel with me?"

   After finishing speaking, he sighed sadly, "Now that you know Princess Su, don't you recognize me as a friend? When Ningyue and the others bullied you, did I help you?"

  Gu Danxue froze her hands and pursed her lips in silence. Because of what happened over the years. She was always sensitive by nature.

  Every time she was bullied by Xu Ningyue, Su Qing would indeed help her, but it was only a few words of symbolic persuasion.

   Looking at her always with charity and pity. Whenever she met such gazes, she didn't feel relieved, only felt suffocated.

  Even deep down in her heart, she actually hated Su Qing more than Xu Ningyue and the others bullied her.

  She knew that Su Qing didn't really feel sorry for her, it was just because his father was Ning Yuanhou.

  Seeing this, Su Qing stopped talking nonsense, and continued to hold her hand and smiled: "You like Pei Ning, right, I can help you."

  Gu Danxue withdrew his hand violently, and hurriedly took a step back: "You...what are you talking about...I didn't..."

  Su Qing felt contemptuous, if Gu Danxue had not had a good father, he would not even bother to look at this kind of person.

   "Don't rush to deny it. Pei Ning has an outstanding appearance and a gentle personality. He is also the son of the Yasukuni government. It is normal for you to like such an outstanding man."

   "And I just saw that Pei Ning is also interested in you, but if you want to marry him, the Pei family may not agree."

   "But don't worry, for the sake of our friends, I will help you."

  …

   Withdrawing her thoughts, Gu Danxue curled her fingers, and finally said hesitantly: "Do you know Pei Ning, he..."

   Before she finished speaking, Shen Mingjiao interrupted her with a sullen face, and asked softly, "How do you know him?"

   Without waiting for Gu Danxue to answer, she said seriously again: "That's not a good person, stay away from him."

  Gu Danxue was momentarily taken aback. I wanted to ask why, but in the end I opened my mouth and didn't ask anything.

  She knew that Shen Mingjiao had no reason to lie to her, combined with Su Qing's inexplicable words just now. It is enough to show that there is indeed a problem with the man named Pei Ning.

   If she said how much she likes that Pei Ning, then she definitely didn't. She was just a little sad. For the first time in her life, a man didn't care about her appearance and took the initiative to approach her. Unexpectedly, it was a lie!

  Shen Mingjiao was afraid that Gu Danxue would be fascinated by Pei Ning's appearance, so she repeatedly told her a few words, and she was relieved when she saw that the other party nodded obediently.

   Thinking about Gu Danxue's character, even if she really likes Pei Ning, she would not dare to take the initiative to do anything,

  The two returned to the flower hall, Cui Lingling was still watching with gusto.

  Finally, it was time to start the banquet, and everyone went to the pre-arranged banquet one by one,

   For a banquet like this, there are rules for how many people sit during the banquet. Shen Mingjiao has the highest status on the female side, so she was arranged to sit at the top, so she separated from Gu Danxue and Cui Lingling.

  Gu Danxue had just sat down when a maid carrying a teapot passed by, and then she accidentally stirred her feet, and the water in the teapot spilled on Gu Danxue impartially.

  The servant girl hurriedly knelt down in fear and pleaded guilty: "Your servant deserves to die, girl, please spare your servant!"

   Under such a movement, the people around suddenly looked over curiously. Gu Danxue pinched her wet skirt, her face suddenly became hot: "Okay, get up!"

  The servant girl kowtowed to him and stood up. Tiyi took her to the guest house to change clothes. Gu Danxue hesitated.

   It stands to reason that when ladies go out, they will prepare an extra set of clothes just in case. But she sneaked here without telling the second aunt, and she didn't even bring her personal maid.

  Seeing this, the servant girl suggested: "The servant girl is a maid in the second lady's courtyard in the mansion. Why don't the servant girl take this girl to our second lady to borrow some clothes."

   After speaking, he took her arm and pulled her out,

  Gu Danxue felt that something was wrong, but she was used to obedience, and it was really uncomfortable to have her wet clothes clinging to her body. After hesitating, she was dragged out of the yard.

  Su Qing, who was sitting at the opposite table, looked at Gu Danxue who was being dragged away by the maid, and took a sip of tea in satisfaction.

  Xu Ningyue at the side tugged at her sleeves, seeing that everyone had to leave after the banquet was over, she didn't care about anything, she leaned over and whispered:

   "Sister Su Qing, didn't you say that there is a way for me to marry Pei Ning? What is the way!"

  Su Qing held back the disgust in his heart, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I'll tell you after dinner."

  Xu Ningyue felt relieved when she heard the words.

  Su Qing unobtrusively pulled out the arm held by the other party. There was a coldness in his eyes.

  Now when she sees Xu Ningyue's face, she will think of the humiliation in Jinxiufang that day.

  After that incident, the reputation she had built up over the years was almost ruined by half,

  When people mentioned Su Qing, they were no longer amazed and yearning. Some even secretly said that she was flirtatious. She wanted to marry the prince, but she couldn't let go of King Su. She was so angry that she smashed the whole room of precious porcelain.

  How could she not hate Xu Ningyue, one of the instigators?

  So since Xu Ningyue likes Pei Ning, then she will help her.

  But when she saw Gu Danxue today, she temporarily changed her mind.

  The Yasukuni government has secretly taken refuge in the prince, but she feels that this is not enough.

  Since she wants to be the most honorable woman in the world, then Feng Qiyu must be the emperor in the future, so the more power under the crown prince, the better.

  But Ning Yuanhou was only loyal to the emperor.

  She pursed her lips and smiled lightly, but if Gu Danxue married Pei Ning, then Ningyuan Hou's Mansion could only be tied to Duke Jing's Mansion.

  As for Xu Ningyue, she will naturally not let her go.

  …

  Shen Mingjiao found out about Gu Danxue's accident fifteen minutes later.

Cui Lingling sat with her back straight beside Mrs. Tong, looking at a large table of delicacies, but she could only chew slowly with a small mouthful of dishes. With a cold gaze, he withdrew from the table,

  Passing by Gu Danxue's table, but didn't see anyone, asked the girl at the table and learned that she went to change clothes, Cui Lingling didn't care.

  Just smelling the aroma of the food wafting from the banquet, she swallowed so greedily, she glanced at Shen Mingjiao who was sitting on the side with her hands on her hands, and couldn't hold back and walked over.
