She murmured in her mouth, obviously there were many people around, pairs of eyes looking at her, today was another important day, but the eyes of the beautiful woman were still a little moist unconsciously.

In this crowded place, I feel a little emotional.

Zhen Shuyuan knew in her heart that if she didn't love her nephew to make a living, how could she, a "village woman", have such a great reputation, invite so many people to her birthday, and be named the imperial wife of the fourth-grade commander.

She couldn't help but tighten her grip on Ouyang Rong's right forearm.

Ouyang Rong originally focused on the layout of the surrounding main hall.

Just before he went to pick up the Li brothers and sisters, he stopped by the stable and took out the Mohist sword box from the carriage and hid it somewhere near the main hall.

Right now, I don’t forget to study the terrain, just in case.

There is no way, a qualified sword wielder should be ready to be the sixth sword at any time.

Sensing Zhen Shuyuan's emotions, Ouyang Rong turned around and gently patted the back of her hand.

"I'm fine."

Zhen Shuyuan tilted her head, wiped the corners of her eyes with her thumb, and resumed her smile.

At this time, the preparations in the kitchen seemed to be completed, after Ouyang Rong nodded.

In the main hall, dishes were brought out one after another, filling the long table in the center of the hall.

The dinner started, and the tribesmen and guests waiting outside also entered one after another, gave Zhen Shuyuan gifts, and walked to sit down at the same time.

Zhen Shuyuan sat at the main seat and responded with a smile, while Ouyang Rong stood beside her chair to accompany her.

Although some close friends who were not relatives did not arrive, they sent congratulatory gifts.

For example, Mr. Qin and the Qin family gave him a pair of words "longevity" written by Mr. Qin himself, and Qin Ying also gave him an additional gift.

Yan Liulang and Pei Shisanniang were also among the visitors. As Ouyang Rong's generals, they also got the opportunity to come and participate in the birthday ceremony.

However, after giving the gift, Yan Liulang did not leave immediately. He leaned into Ouyang Rong's ear and spoke a few words.

Ouyang Rong glanced at him, nodded slightly, and Yan Liulang stepped back.

After a while, Zhen Shuyuan noticed that Ouyang Rong seemed to be lowering his head and thinking about something, so she tilted her head and asked:

"What's wrong, Tanlang, is there something wrong?"

Ouyang Rong replied:

"It's nothing. Huai Min has an appointment. There may be changes. Someone will be sent to inform you."

Zhen Shuyuan asked: "That greedy guy, doesn't he blame us for not inviting him?"

Ouyang Rong shook his head: "He won't take it to heart if you don't invite me, but if he can't take a vacation with me, he will definitely complain about it."

Zhen Shuyuan laughed and didn't ask again.

Ouyang Rong glanced at the night outside.

Yuan Huaimin sent someone to inform him that they would not be able to gather together to go to Xunyang Grottoes tomorrow morning. He wanted to go there in advance, as if he had promised Yi Qianqiu to observe the depiction of the golden Buddha illuminated by the first ray of dawn at the beginning of the day.

The picture of the leader showed that he could not go together, so Yuan Huaimin asked him to go by himself and pay attention to safety... This was a common concern among colleagues.

However, Ouyang Rong felt a little strange. This old boy didn't seem to have such a polite and verbose temperament.

While Ouyang Rong was pondering, the lobby suddenly became quieter.

From the corner of his eye, he noticed that Zhen Shuyuan seemed to have come to Zhen Shuyuan to report. The latter looked outside and then tilted her head to look at him.

And the surrounding guests all looked towards the moonlit courtyard outside.

"What's wrong, auntie?"

Ouyang Rong came back to his senses and asked casually.

Zhen Shuyuan pursed her lips and gestured outside:

"Well, was she invited by Tan Lang? If so, just come in. Today is a happy day and everyone who comes is a guest."

Ouyang Rong turned around and saw that in the courtyard outside, there was a cold girl in palace clothes, standing under the moon, with her hands in sleeves. From a distance, she looked like an immortal from the Moon Palace.

It's Rong Zhen.

But today she wore a large purple palace dress, which was very rare. In the past, it was lavender, but today it was a deep purple, revealing a noble and mysterious feeling.

As if they were a hundred steps apart, Rong Zhen and Ouyang Rong looked at each other across the sky.

Ouyang Rong pursed his lips and ordered:

"Haixi, you go and get this person...forget it, I'll do it."

He walked out of the main hall and went to pick up the people in person. The guests were a little curious about who the god was, with such an appearance, that Ouyang Rong could pick him up in person.

Li Guo'er, who had lowered his eyes in boredom, became energetic now, looked sideways slightly, and seemed to be smiling but not smiling.

Li Dalang, who was next to him, picked up his wine glass and took a sip. After putting down the glass, he muttered:

"Didn't you bring back the Xiu Niang girl today? Why did Tanlang invite this female historian as well?"

Li Guo'er nodded: "I like watching fights the most."

Li Dalang was confused: "What fight?"

Li Guo'er blinked and didn't answer.

Ouyang Rong came to the courtyard outside and looked at the female historian standing in the wind with her sleeves and hair flying in the wind. He said with some restraint:

"Is Rong Nu Shi really here?"

Rong Zhen started with a familiar opening sentence:

"I didn't want to come, but I happened to be passing by. I want to go back to the city to go to the Overwatch Council. Anyway, I'm in Xunyangdu. I just stopped by to take a look."

Her face was cold and her eyes were looking at Ouyang Rong.

Ouyang Rong was ready to speak.

Rong Zhen glanced at the different looks in the main hall, interrupted and asked:

"Is it inconvenient? It's okay. Just say it. It's not a big deal. If it's inconvenient, just say it. I have to go to work and leave..."

She gestured to take her palms out of her sleeves.

"etc."

Ouyang Rong subconsciously raised his hand and called out to Rong Zhen.

Having said that, what else can he do?

However, Ouyang Rong soon discovered that Rong Zhen didn't seem to move at all. She just changed the posture of her sleeves and changed her standing posture.

"It's not inconvenient." After saying this, Ouyang Rong shook his head and said, "Let Nv Shi come in for a meal, but don't give me any gifts. It's too polite..."

Before Ouyang Rong could finish speaking, Rong Zhen had already passed by him. A girl in purple attire, short but with a high head, walked into the main hall.

Like other new guests, she went straight to Zhen Shuyuan and took out a ball of red cloth from her sleeve.

He stepped forward half-heartedly, wanting to take the gift.

Rong Zhen ignored her, opened the red cloth and took out a string of beads wrapped in it.

The popular girl in palace attire in front of the empress, with some low emotional intelligence, handed the prayer beads to Zhen Shuyuan.

"The eighteen seeds that keep you safe are made by me. Madam, you can wear them all the time. It's best not to keep them too far away from you."

She said seriously with a small face, and added:

"When we first met, I accidentally disturbed the eldest lady. I am very sorry."

Zhen Shuyuan looked at her and then at Ouyang Rong behind her.

Ouyang Rong shrugged slightly, his expression a little helpless.

Zhen Shuyuan nodded, took the eighteen seeds, and said politely:

"Buddha beads are good, they can increase your merits, avoid evil and bring peace to you. You have a good heart."

Rong Zhen seemed to let out a breath and looked around. She had nothing to say, so she turned and walked away.

Banxi took Rong Zhen to the side to sit down, but it was a vacant seat alone, and everyone spontaneously made way for a few seats.

Ouyang Rong also breathed a sigh of relief.

Zhen Shuyuan, knowingly or not, first placed the beads on the table next to her, paused, then picked them up and stuffed them into her arms, as if nothing had happened.

Not far away, Li Dalang was curious when he heard the sister beside him sigh with pity:

"That's really considerate. It's a pity that Sister Xie is not here."

When the surrounding guests saw this, many people inquired about the identity of this cold and cold-looking girl.

After a while, the dishes for the dinner were almost served.

However, the banquet was still not started, which made everyone feel a little strange.

At this moment, Xie Lingjiang and Ye Weilai returned to the hall together and sat down next to Zhen Shuyuan.

When everyone saw this, they thought they could have a banquet, but they didn't expect Zhen Shuyuan's eyes to fall outside.
To be continued...
