Chapter 1015 Just won’t take the bait

Princess Huilan said with a smile on her face, as if she admired the junior Bai Ruozhu very much. Everyone also exclaimed, but it was unclear how much of these voices were true and how much were false. It's just the person Princess Huilan wants to favor, so they naturally have to give her face.

Bai Ruozhu always had a polite smile on her face, but her heart was churning. Princess Huilan had made such a big fight waiting for her, and she was afraid that the matter would not end well.

The buffet started soon. Princess Huilan patted Bai Ruozhu's shoulder affectionately and said, "Go get something and have fun by yourself. You are not old, so you don't need to be too restrained."

"Yes, princess." Bai Ruozhu saluted her and stood up to get the tray.

She went to get the meal, and some people took the initiative to greet her, and she responded with a smile. At this time, a delicate figure walked up to her and said with a smile: "Aren't you worried, Mrs. Jiang?"

Bai Ruozhu turned around and looked. She had the impression that this little girl was Xue Xue, whom she had met at the Queen Mother's birthday banquet. She was also the biological sister of Prince Xue.

"It's useless to worry. Some things can't be avoided just by wanting to avoid them." Bai Ruozhu said lightly. Because of Prince Xue Xiaojun's ulterior motives, Bai Ruozhu didn't have a good impression of Xue Xue.

"Don't look like this. My brother didn't do you any harm. It's just that you thought you and the Gu family are not the same people."

"Miss Xue, don't let anyone hear that you are plotting against your stepmother. It will be bad for your reputation." Bai Ruozhu smiled at Xue Xue.

"You..." Xue Xue stamped her feet angrily and turned to the other side to get something.

Bai Ruozhu shook her head secretly, fearing that Xue Xue and Xue Wenqian had suffered a lot from their stepmother Gu Yalai at home. At the Queen Mother's birthday party, they did not get any benefit from Gu Yalai.

Gu Yalai and Prince Xue also gave birth to a son. Although he is only seven years old this year, Prince Xue is still in his prime, and it is still unclear who he will choose to inherit the title in the future.

Bai Ruozhu was thinking about Gu Yalai when she really saw Gu Yalai. The face that was somewhat similar to Jiang Yichun made her feel a little dazed. Gu Yalai really didn't care about his son at all and had always ignored Jiang Yichun. Don't ask?

Gu Yalai noticed her gaze and looked at her with a very cold gaze, even with some disgust and contempt.

Bai Ruozhu took the tray and turned around to leave, not looking at her again. Gu Yalai was not her serious mother-in-law, so why show off.

As a result, this scene was seen by a woman not far away. She smiled and said to the daughter next to her: "Have you seen that Mrs. Xue and Bai Ruozhu? Mrs. Xue is Master Jiang's biological mother, and they are considered mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. Didn’t even say hello.”

The woman next to her covered her mouth and snickered, and whispered: "Mrs. Xue remarried, and what happened back then, do they still have the nerve to recognize each other in person?"

Because Bai Ruozhu was not far away, she naturally overheard the conversation between the two. She looked back and saw that the person who started the conversation was Wang Zhenru, who used to shamelessly flatter her. But now she and the Wang family have broken up, and Wang Zhenru has also taken off her Hypocritical face.

Where there are more women, there are more disputes. Three women can perform a show, let alone so many women present.

She took the tray and returned to her seat. Princess Huilan next to her smiled very affectionately at her and said, "I don't know if the dishes are similar to your taste. Most of the chrysanthemum banquets are chrysanthemums in the dishes, or made into the shape of chrysanthemums. It’s just to please a good mood.”

"Princess is so polite, the dishes are unique, Ruozhu is well worth the trip today." Her tone was a little more serious, she wanted Princess Huilan to understand what she meant.

Princess Huilan's smile widened, but she didn't say much. She suddenly raised her head and said to everyone: "It's too boring for us to have a banquet like this. We still follow the old rules. Let's compete in poems or something, and let's use chrysanthemum as the theme."

The ladies were eager to give it a try, and some even prepared poems in advance, planning to earn some fame at the banquet.

"Princess, this question is too easy. How about making it more difficult?" Wang Zhenru suddenly said.

"Oh? Why don't you come and listen, Zhenru?" Princess Huilan seemed to be interested and sat up a little.

Wang Zhenru glanced at Bai Ruozhu lightly, with a hint of pride in her eyes, "We are all sisters with excellent literary talents. Making it more difficult can better express everyone's literary talents. Yong Ju is indeed a good meaning. If we add another The request for acrostics is even more interesting."

"Okay, okay, this is interesting. Just follow what the Wang family girl said. It's up to you how to hide your head." Princess Huilan said with a smile.

Wang Zhenru made a suggestion, but instead of rushing to steal the limelight, she sat down and continued drinking chrysanthemum wine.

Not far away, a daughter-in-law stood up first and recited a seven-character quatrain. The acrostic speaker used the four words "luck, longevity, and health" and ended with: "My little girl wishes the princess happiness, longevity, and health."

Princess Huilan smiled with her eyebrows flying, and immediately asked someone to reward the daughter.

Someone started, and someone immediately started reciting poems. The hidden words were nothing more than auspicious words, mainly to please Princess Huilan.

Bai Ruozhu slowly sipped the chrysanthemum wine, and kept scanning the princess next to her with her peripheral vision. She felt that although she had a smile on her face, the smile did not reach her eyes at all, and she was just perfunctory in this scene.

If you don’t like it and find it boring, why do you have to hold a flower viewing party every season? Just out of boredom or out of vanity?

At this moment, a woman suddenly stood up, saluted Princess Huilan, and said, "I heard that Mrs. Jiang has excellent literary talent. She also represented Beiyu Academy in the competition between the Eight Academy Palaces, and even won the first place in one subject. Mrs. Jiang Why don't you write a poem so that we can learn from it?"

Bai Ruozhu sneered in his heart, he was another person who was used as a gunman and still felt quite cool. That woman was the one who talked to Wang Zhenru before.

Everyone's eyes suddenly fell on Bai Ruozhu. Princess Huilan also looked at Bai Ruozhu with a smile, as if she was waiting for a good show.

Bai Ruozhu stood up with a smile and said: "This young lady only knows one thing but not the other. The item I won the first place in is arithmetic, but it has nothing to do with poetry. Who in business doesn't understand the principles of writing and accounting? "

"I heard that your brother passed the case examination in the provincial examination. You have my brother's style. Wouldn't it be too modest not to write a poem today?" The woman obviously did not intend to give up easily.

The curve of Bai Ruozhu's mouth slowly widened. Do they really think she will take the bait?

She remembered that Luluo had accidentally mentioned before that it was all the ladies who wrote poems and performed their talents to gain fame. If she was provoked by the other party to write a poem, she would have earned back her face, but afterwards she would inevitably be laughed at. She is not that stupid!
