Chapter 1405 Chao Gui's Thoughts (1)

Xiangyun was invited by Caiwei to sit down and eat with them.

Because she had been staying at home, she didn't know what was going on outside. As for the Queen's plum blossom banquet, she only knew that it was a banquet for appreciating plum blossoms, and she didn't know that there was a talk of selecting a concubine for the Crown Prince of Qingluo.

Therefore, in her eyes, Queen Namuhan's hospitality was just politeness to the Queen's friends.

Before coming, she was a little guilty, afraid that Caiwei would blame her for not coming to the banquet, but seeing that Caiwei was talking and laughing, and didn't mean to blame her at all, she was relieved and her mood suddenly became very good.

During the meal, Queen Namuhan talked to her very intimately, asking her how old she was? Who else was in the family? What hobbies did she have? What did she like to eat and play? Xiangyun saw that Queen Namuhan was amiable and didn't have the airs of a queen at all, and she liked her very much, so she told her about her situation openly.

Xiangyun is straightforward and honest, not at all like other young ladies who are timid and pretentious. Queen Namuhan likes her very much. The two of them talked happily. During the whole meal, they were the only ones talking, while Caiwei and Wanyan Jingchen were listening.

After the meal, Queen Namuhan was completely sure that she was her future daughter-in-law.

Not long after the meal, when several people were talking, Xiaozhi came to report: "Your Majesty, the young men and young ladies outside have also finished eating. Princess Chaogui wants to ask your Majesty when to watch the ice skating performance."

Ice skating is a long-standing sport in the Great Jin Kingdom. "Floating and stopping suddenly, controlling oneself in all directions", after overcoming the difficulties of balance and center of gravity, you can enjoy the pleasure of speed, the joy of ease, the elegant stretch, and even the illusion of flying, so it is deeply loved by the nobles.

Caiwei said, "Let's go over now and let them prepare first!" Then she smiled at Queen Namuhan and said, "I wonder if Qingluo has ice skating. In our Jin Dynasty, everyone likes to go out and play when the ice freezes in winter!"

Queen Namuhan said, "I've only heard of it but never seen it. Xiangyun, can you do it?"

Xiangyun shook her head and said regretfully, "No, I wanted to learn it when I was a child, but my nanny was always afraid that I would fall or the lake would crack, so she wouldn't let me learn. Now that I'm older, my mother doesn't allow me to learn it either."

Wanyan Jingchen, who had been silent all this time, suddenly interrupted and said, "If you want to learn, I'll teach you tomorrow!"

Xiangyun was so scared that she waved her hands and refused anxiously, saying, "No, no, even so, they are still gossiping. If you do it again..." Before she finished speaking, she suddenly realized that her words were a bit inappropriate, and she quickly closed her mouth with a red face, feeling very annoyed and regretting her rash words.

Seeing this, Caiwei and Namuhan smiled at each other, but did not say much, and took them to the lake.

Xiangyun, the Queen and the Queen of Qingluo appeared at the same time, which shocked all the noble ladies present. Especially when they saw the Queen of Qingluo holding Xiangyun's hand and not letting go, her love was beyond words, and many young ladies' hearts were broken. Some of them who knew themselves cast gloating eyes at Chaogui.

Princess Chaogui looked normal, and she invited Queen Mu and Queen Namuhan to the main table. Seeing that Queen Namuhan was affectionate with Xiangyun, she arranged Xiangyun's position next to her. After asking everyone to sit down, Chaogui bowed to Caiwei and Queen Namuhan and said, "Chaogui is not talented, but I would like to dance on the ice to entertain the two ladies. Please allow me to do so!"
