Chapter 110 Night Banquet
Chapter 110 Night Banquet
Judging from the current situation, the general seems to have a special feeling for this Miss Shen.
As he pondered, a cold gaze swept towards Xiao Lin like a glint of cold light.
"Will……"
"Take care of your eyes."
Shen Mo glanced impatiently at Xiao Lin, who had been staring at Qingqing for half an incense stick's time. He suppressed the urge to gouge out Xiao Lin's eyes.
"General, you've misunderstood..."
Before he could even speak, Shen Mo turned and left.
General, I'm innocent! I was just momentarily stunned and didn't mean anything by it...
Shen Mo didn't give him a chance to explain, and from then on, Xiao Lin silently made a mental note: Don't look at Miss Shen, this is important.
The entire Prime Minister's residence became lively again because of Shen Qingqing's return, and the decorations in the residence were much brighter.
Xiao Cui hugged the pillar, looking around with a look of satisfaction. Only when her young mistress was here did the Prime Minister's residence feel like home.
Li Wei, behind him: What is this person doing again? Hugging a pillar for so long?
I don’t quite understand.
"My dear grandson, eat well and then go to sleep. Get some rest."
Shen Jing sat at the table, constantly putting food on Shen Qingqing's plate.
"Master, tonight's celebration banquet is specially held for Young Master Shen, and Miss..."
Xiao Cui had heard that all the young ladies and gentlemen from prominent families would be there tonight.
Would it be inappropriate for Miss to go alone, since General Shen is now considered part of the Prime Minister's household?
"No way! What's the point of going to that place? Can't I go by myself?"
He stroked his beard and glared at something by the door.
Why isn't this person leaving? He's just sitting here watching the heartwarming scene between himself and his grandson. He must be bored.
[Ding dong, next mission complete. Attend Shen Mo's victory celebration banquet.]
[Host, leave some for me, I want some too.]
With so many people around, it's inconvenient for it to come out now. If only it had come out earlier, this whole table of food would be right in front of it.
Some of them were things I'd never seen before, but just looking at them made them look delicious!
【No. 】
Why? Host, am I not your favorite commander anymore?
What nonsense are you talking about? You've never been that way.
Let's break off all contact.
With no further thought, Shen Qingqing thought: Only children break off friendships.
“Grandpa, as the daughter of the Prime Minister, how can I not go?”
Speaking in a measured tone, Shen Qingqing gave a reassuring look.
"Oh... My dear grandson has grown up and knows how to think about the family."
He wiped away his tears and snot.
Shen Qingqing: This... it's not that bad.
"You little rascal, protect my precious granddaughter, make sure she doesn't get hurt."
He turned to face Shen Mo, his face serious and his brows furrowed.
Although he would be going this time, he couldn't be by his beloved grandson's side all the time. Thinking of those young ladies and gentlemen from noble families, Shen Jing couldn't help but feel a headache and sighed, rubbing his forehead.
Hopefully, this brat can protect his precious grandson.
As night falls and the lanterns are lit, the palace is brightly lit, as if it were daytime.
Palace maids moved about, arranging dishes. Golden curtains fluttered as ministers dressed in luxurious clothes, along with young masters and ladies, entered one after another.
"Miss, you are so beautiful..."
Before the dressing mirror, she wore a scarlet silk skirt embroidered with peach blossoms, a light red cloak, a white ribbon around her waist, and a silk top embroidered with cloud patterns.
Her long hair was tied up with a silver hairpin, her face was slightly pink, and her eyes were blank, revealing a cuteness in her indifference.
Shen Qingqing stared at her reflection in the mirror, at the familiar face.
She felt like she had seen her somewhere before. The system said her memories were sealed, and she couldn't remember what she used to look like at all.
"Miss, it's time to go. The young master is waiting for you outside."
Noticing that something was wrong with Shen Qingqing, Xiao Cui immediately tried to liven things up.
The young lady is usually quiet and doesn't talk much, but she's not unhappy either.
Sometimes she'll suddenly feel unhappy, like right now, but that doesn't bother her.
In Xiao Cui's eyes, her young mistress was the best in the world; although she was cold, her heart was warm...
she knows……
Lazybones: Is her heart cold or warm? Do you think I wouldn't know? It's definitely an ice cube, no, a glacier.
That's what you see on the surface, as tiny mountain peaks, but what lies beneath, nobody knows.
"Young Master, it's all packed up."
The door opened, and Xiao Cui came out to make way for Shen Qingqing.
In that instant, Shen Mo froze on the spot, his breath caught in his throat, and his gaze was fixed on Shen Qingqing ever since she appeared.
"Let's go?"
Their eyes met, but Shen Qingqing was the first to look away, as she wasn't used to being looked at like that.
Familiar yet unfamiliar...
I feel like I've seen this somewhere before...
A figure appeared in my mind, the face gradually becoming clearer...
【Host! 】
A voice in my mind shattered the scene instantly, vanishing without a trace.
Can you please stop being so dramatic every time?
Shen Qingqing took his hand, and Shen Mo caught it. The two left one after the other.
【All right. 】
Also, we've broken off all contact; you were the one who brought it up first.
Little Lazy, who had turned into a little black cat, followed behind, meowing.
[You believe that? Are you a primary school student? Host?]
It meowed and bounced around behind, wanting Shen Qingqing to hold it. This time it could transform ahead of time and get to eat something delicious. It was happy, hehe.
[Go by yourself, you're so lazy.]
The cat paused, climbed onto Shen Qingqing's leg, and scratched her.
She actually said I'm lazy? I'm never lazy, at least not as lazy as my host.
Suddenly, sensing something was wrong, everything turned upside down, and Shen Mo picked up Xiao Lan.
Meow meow—
It meowed, "Ouch, ouch, ouch..."
With bright, pleading eyes, she begged Shen Qingqing for help: "Host, I'll never say anything bad about you again! Please make this big devil let me go!"
Shen Qingqing turned her head away, pretending not to see, but still wanted to teach him a lesson.
Lazybones: So love will disappear, right? Host?
Shen Mo had seen this cat before; it was the one that stayed with Qingqing in front of his mother's funeral hall.
He threw him to the ground with disdain, a hint of murderous intent flashing in his eyes.
The lazybones who was thrown out: What?
碰—
Xiao Lin, who was standing nearby, caught it.
The little black kitten probably belongs to Miss Shen; it should be protected carefully.
Lazybones: What are you looking at? Look again and I'll scratch your eyes.
He stroked the cat's head, which was as smooth as he had imagined. "Be good, be good, and I'll take you to eat something delicious later."
Hearing about delicious food, her ears perked up, and she obediently squatted in Xiao Lin's arms, even rubbing against his hand.
Glancing at Xiao Lan's appearance out of the corner of her eye, Shen Qingqing couldn't help but sigh. She wouldn't even know how she was tricked away later...
Stupid cat.
Xiao Lin, who was petting the cat, was inexplicably met with a glare from Shen Mo.
?
This was the first time Xiao Cui had ever seen her mistress's cat so obedient. She leaned closer, wanting to pet the cat, but "men and women should not touch each other."
Li Wei whispered a reminder from the left.
She pulled her outstretched hand back, and glanced at Li Wei with a smile, "I'll touch it."
Following Shen Qingqing, Xiao Cui's personality also became more assertive.
