Chapter 155 Love Rival Appears
Feeling Yun Yan's gaze, Tang Xiluo pursed his lips calmly, feeling as if his soul had been seen through.
So he quickly found an excuse to leave.
"The Mid-Autumn Festival banquet is about to begin, so I'll go over first."
"Go ahead." After Yun Fei got the accurate answer, he felt much better. There was no need to keep hesitating here.
This is not a good place to talk. When I have time later, I can go to the palace to visit him in person.
Yun Yan nodded and followed the maid who led the way.
"Princess, this way."
When I arrived at the banquet, I sat down as the maid pointed. Nearly half of the people were already seated.
She was looking at everyone, and everyone was looking at her.
The original owner was disliked by everyone and had no close friends at all. Everyone disliked her and no one wanted to be friends with her.
As soon as she sat down, someone started to rustle with a handkerchief covering his mouth, and even avoided her eyes and looked over here from time to time.
Tang Xiluo's mouth twitched, and he looked like an old lady at the village entrance saying bad things about people. He would steal a glance at people from time to time. Was he afraid that others didn't know that they were saying bad things?
She waved to Xiaoli, who immediately bent down and lowered her head.
"What do you want, princess?"
Tang Xiluo looked around and asked, "Where should my sister be?"
Xiaoli thought for a moment and said, "Wen Xiaoyi's position is next to the imperial concubine, but it should be a little further back."
Tang Xiluo is the regent princess. She is not only a minister's wife but also a royal daughter-in-law, so her position is relatively forward.
Tang Xiluo pursed her lips and said, "Xiao Li, find a way to stand beside your sister later."
Xiaoli nodded: "I obey your command."
Xiaoli looks silly on weekdays, but she is actually very smart.
The original owner was stupid and arrogant, and all the servants who had followed her left one after another, leaving Xiaoli alone. The other servants were bullied by the original owner, but Xiaoli remained intact and not seriously injured.
She is not just loyal, she also has a smart mind, but she becomes childish in front of me.
Although Xiaomei lacked some experience and was a little timid, she was a person who could see the current situation clearly. She was the only one who stayed among the slaves in their group...
The sky was getting darker and darker, and most people had arrived. Tang Xirou also entered the banquet hall with two palace maids and a eunuch.
Those of lower status are paying their respects to her, but she also needs to pay her respects to those of higher status.
After a lot of trouble, Tang Xirou began to look for her sister in the venue and soon found her because she was in the front and there were not many people around her.
The two sisters looked at each other at first sight and smiled at each other.
"Why is this Princess Chen a little different from before?"
"How can it be the same? Now she represents the face of the palace and the royal demeanor. How dare she be the same as before?"
Xiaoli was speechless when she heard this. Do these people have nothing to say? They keep bringing up the princess' past.
Tang Xiluo didn't pay any attention to their chattering, but was looking at everyone present and remembering every position.
"——Prince Chen has arrived!"
Everyone stood up one after another.
"Greetings to Lord Chen!"
Tang Xiluo twitched his lips. Wasn't he already here? Where was he taken by the eunuch? Did he have to wait until there were more people before making a big show?
"Everyone, get up."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Zhan Jingchen glanced at the little girl's position and happened to see her rolling her eyes, feeling helpless and amused.
"Humph!"
A female voice snorted, containing disdain and jealousy, and she stared in the direction of Tang Xiluo with anger in her eyes. That position could have been hers!
Another woman beside her comforted her: "Sister Yan, don't be angry. The prince and her are not as loving as the rumors outside."
Du Yan gritted her teeth. A war god and hero like the prince should be with a talented girl from the capital like herself. They were a perfect match made in heaven.
What qualifications does Tang Xiluo have to be a useless fool? If it weren’t for the marriage arranged by the late emperor, even the butcher on the street might not even look at her!
I am the legitimate daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion. In terms of identity and status, I am no worse than her cousin Xiluo!
The woman next to her was still trying to persuade her in a kind way, "Don't worry, Sister Yan, no matter how much she pretends to be in front of the prince now, her true nature will be exposed in the future. The prince will definitely see her true face and hate her, and then he will definitely divorce her!"
Du Yan still felt uncomfortable. Even if the prince divorced her and married her, she would no longer be the original wife, but a stepmother.
"Sister Yan, you see the prince and she came separately, so they must not be in a good relationship."
Du Yan's expression improved a little. It was better to have a bad relationship. Only when the relationship was bad did she have a chance.
Soon after, several people sat down next to them. It was Lin who came with her third daughter. As the wife and daughter of the general's mansion, they could sit on the same level as the women of the prime minister's family. However, because they were concubines' daughters, they had to sit a little further back.
Du Yan's expression, which had just relaxed, turned ugly again. She didn't like Tang Xiluo, nor did she like Tang Xiyue. She didn't like anyone in the general's mansion, and she even disdained Lin.
Tang Xiluo sensed a malicious look and immediately raised his eyes to take a look.
A girl I don't know.
Xiaoli noticed the young lady's gaze and frown, and quickly bent down to explain to her that she didn't know since when her young lady became more and more forgetful and didn't know anything. Maybe she was too lazy to know.
"Princess, that is Miss Du Yan, the daughter of the Prime Minister."
Tang Xiluo took a sip of tea, nodded, and then searched for the person named Du Yan in the original owner's memory.
So she was a love rival! Unfortunately, she was not even qualified to be a love rival now.
Most of the negative comments about the original owner in the capital were spread by this love rival. Not only were they known to all the housekeepers, wives and daughters, but even the common people within a ten-mile radius knew about them.
In fact, everyone even thought the original owner was more useless than the original owner himself, and Du Yan couldn't help but add fuel to the fire.
Du Yan is a famous talented woman in the capital, so everyone can't help but talk about Tang Xiluo. Whenever people talk about talented women, they will think of the most useless waste.
She never invited the young ladies from General Tangxi's mansion to any flower-viewing, tea-drinking and poetry-reciting activities she organized, and even isolated them intentionally or unintentionally.
As soon as Tang Xiyue sat down, she bowed politely to Du Yan.
"Sister Yan, long time no see."
Du Yan snorted coldly and ignored her.
Tang Xiyue gritted her teeth. With so many people watching, she felt a little embarrassed.
She could only walk to her seat and sit down. The other two concubines behind her followed her tremblingly like maids.
