The Time Traveling Anchor and Her Eight Hundred Fence-Sitters

Chapter 249 Actually, I'm not that anxious

This year's Winter Solstice Banquet was held in Chunhe Hall, and there were many new faces at the banquet that Zhao Mianmian had never seen before.

In fact, those people were not new faces. It was just that Zhao Mianmian had been busy finding a way out for herself recently and had not paid any attention to outsiders, so she became much more unfamiliar with these girls.

As per custom, Empress Dowager Xiao called the girls who were entering the palace for the first time to her side and rewarded each of them with a small golden pig and a small jade pig.

Zhao Mianmian was so envious and jealous that she almost stared a hole in the box containing the golden pig.

Fans in the live broadcast room scolded her on the public screen with disgust:

[No, what's that look in your eyes? ? ]

[Host, you said you've lived two lives, can you please be more successful?!]

"That's right, it's just a gold pig and a jade pig, haven't you gotten enough of those things before? Is it really necessary to stare at them so eagerly? ?"

[Hahaha, the past is the past, and the present is the present. Now that others have what she doesn't, she must be envious and jealous!]

[[Speechless] I'm not saying this, but according to the current points rules, getting these things back won't earn you many gold coins.

Streamer, instead of thinking about the golden pig and jade pig, you might as well think about completing the side quests and earning special rewards.

[No, no, no, you don’t understand her at all.

Mission rewards are mission rewards, and gold coins are gold coins.

You have to take the mission rewards and the gold coins. Why should you give away something that you can already get?

Wasting natural resources is not our anchor's style! 】

[Tsk~~, things are different now. Given the relationship between the Xiao and He families, it's as if she can get whatever she wants.]

The audience in the live broadcast room reminded Zhao Mianmian on the public screen not to harbor any illusions and set their sights on the little golden pig.

Zhao Mianmian had no choice but to curl her lips and do it.

As she spoke, Empress Dowager Xiao had divided up the golden and jade pigs in the box.

She exchanged a few polite words with the ladies who came to attend the Winter Solstice Banquet, and finally found an excuse to leave Chunhe Hall under Zhao Mianmian's reluctant gaze.

As soon as Empress Dowager Xiao left, everyone present became less reserved.

Qin Shuyu also breathed a sigh of relief and was no longer so nervous, fearing that something unexpected would happen at the Winter Solstice Banquet, which would further worsen the relationship between the Xiao and He families.

"Aunt, Mianmian is so boring."

Zhao Mianmian observed Qin Shuyu's expression and took the opportunity to test him.

Qin Shuyu glanced at Zhao Mianmian beside him thoughtfully, then looked around.

After confirming that the girls who were at odds with He Xulan were not present and that Zhao Mianmian would not cause any serious trouble for a while, he nodded calmly.

"If Mianmian is really bored, go out and play for a while by yourself."

Zhao Mianmian had long wanted to stop being a wooden figure in Chunhe Palace. After getting Qin Shuyu's consent, he became visibly more energetic.

Qin Shuyu was a little worried and gave two more instructions:

"But there are many people in the palace today, and there are male guests in the garden next door. Don't run too far, so as not to offend the nobles."

The "next garden" that Qin Shuyu mentioned was indeed the garden outside the Chunhe Palace, separated by a rockery and short trees.

The garden was usually used by the palace masters to enjoy the scenery, but today it was fenced off and filled with tables and banquets.

According to convention, only female members of the royal family can attend the winter solstice banquet in the palace.

But the routine is the same every year, and you know what the steps are even with your eyes closed, so people don’t look forward to it much.

So Princess Rong, along with several noble ladies of status and position, suggested to Empress Dowager Xiao that the Winter Light Banquet, which would be held ten days later and only for male guests, be brought forward and held together with the Winter Solstice Banquet.

Firstly, since the two banquets were held together, the Ministry of Internal Affairs would have to save time and effort in preparation.

Secondly, competing in poetry and playing the piano across the garden can make the atmosphere much more lively.

Thirdly, it also gives talented people from all walks of life a chance to show themselves, and maybe they can even get married happily?

Empress Dowager Xiao thought it was a good idea and gave full authority to Princess Rong to arrange it.

Princess Rong lived up to everyone's expectations. Within a few days, she invited all the officials above the sixth rank. A group of people talked about poetry and wine in the garden, and it was very lively.

Of course, there are still boundaries.

Except for a few younger ones, no female members of the family would be so shameless as to confront the male guests in the garden.

No male guest would bypass the rockery and forest and run to Chunhe Hall to offend the official lady.

The two groups of guests maintained a delicate balance across the huge garden.

Zhao Mianmian didn't care about balance, she only had Han Rang in her eyes.

However, Zhao Mianmian did not rush to find Han Rang, but climbed up a rockery that was taller than her, wanting to look down at the developments in the garden next door.

Before Zhao Mianmian could even sit down, she heard a familiar voice coming from outside the rockery:

"How can you be so useless! I told you I wanted lotus scented ointment, but you gave me the whole osmanthus scent? Who are you trying to fool?!"

[Oh my god, this voice sounds familiar!]

I can't tell who this voice belongs to, but I've seen this bossy attitude from two people before.

[Huh? Which two?]

[Jingyang Princess Liang Yufu, and her flattering henchman, Su Yingyue.]

[Hahahahaha, flattering...]

Zhao Mianmian hid behind the rockery and looked in the direction of the familiar voice. Sure enough, the person standing outside was the Su family's legitimate daughter who the audience in the live broadcast room said loved to "flatter" -

Su Yingyue, and three young ladies from official families whom she had never met before.

Two of them stood beside Su Yingyue, and the three of them pointed at the other one together, looking arrogant and unreasonable.

Zhao Mianmian had no time to care about Su Yingyue's troubles. Her mind was full of Han Rang.

However, the audience in the live broadcast room saw that there was excitement and became excited. They poured rewards into her live broadcast room and asked her to finish the melon.

Zhao Mianmian:

【○?｀Д′? ○】

[Are you kidding me?! We're here to do a side quest. Our target is Han Rang, Han Rang, Han Rang. What's the point of having me here listening to Su Yingyue's gossip?!]

Public screen:

Your fan [Xiao Dad's Good Old Son] gave you gold coins. I hope you will keep up the good work~~]

Zhao Mianmian:

[Side quest! Side quest!!]

[Don't try to lull me into submission with rewards. Do I have such a low self-esteem?!]

Public screen:

Your fan [I love eating melons] gave you gold coins. I hope you will keep up the good work~~

Zhao Mianmian:

【? ? ? 】

[No, when did you become so rich? ? ]

Public screen:

Your fan [Shut up, eat melons] gave you gold coins. I hope you will keep up the good work~~

Zhao Mianmian:

【…】

[Actually, I'm not in such a hurry. I still have time to enjoy some melon.]

Barrage:

[Anchor, where are your principles? Where is your bottom line? ? Eaten by a dog? ? [Disgusted]]

Zhao Mianmian thought about it, and finally typed three words on the public screen with a troubled look on her face:

Woof, woof, woof
