With the two sisters Carmet taking the lead, other students who were still watching reservedly gathered here one after another with their dinner plates.

"Of course, teacher, can I sit here?"

"Excuse me, give me a seat too."

"Squeeze over there and add another chair."

The first thing for those who are seated successfully is to introduce themselves enthusiastically to Shen Qiran.

"I'm Miss Yuegui, wow I finally met a real person, teacher, you are so handsome today!"

"I'm Sister Daisy, teacher, you are actually a hundred times more handsome than in the video! If I hadn't seen you with Major General Shao Xing just now, I wouldn't dare to recognize you!"

"Teacher, why did you come so late? I almost thought you didn't plan to come. Well, I'm Mrs. Clove."

"¥¥@%¥..."

"&#¥#%..."

Although the news that Shao Xing Shao will be promoted has spread all over the upper class circle, which of the famous ladies present is not from a prominent family background and is above the top. As Shen Menglan said earlier, it is underestimating to get approval just by relying on the halo of a spouse The vision and taste of this group of proud ladies.

In this circle, plastic friendship is common, but sincerity is rare. In the process of learning baking, they can all see Shen Qiran's gentleness and patience. He never treats them differently because of their status, and his attitude is neither humble nor overbearing. Getting along is like a spring breeze. They are naturally willing to have a sincere relationship with him.

The originally deserted corner instantly turned into a large offline meeting of netizens.Shen Qiran was surrounded in the center, once again experiencing the feeling of "being in the center of hundreds of ducks".Seeing that there was nothing in front of Shen Qiran, everyone enthusiastically placed the buffet items they had brought in front of him. After a while, the delicacies in front of Shen Qiran were piled up as high as a hill.

Many people noticed the movement here, cast surprised eyes, and whispered which upstart could attract the favor of so many ladies.

As the number of people increased, the small round table in the corner soon became insufficient to sit. Someone noticed Shen Menglan who was hanging aside and asked her.

"excuse me, you are?"

The person who asked the question was a countess, and Shen Menglan didn't dare to show her face, so she quickly introduced herself.

"Oh, it turned out to be Teacher Ranran's step-sister." The matter of the Shen family is not a secret in the circle. With Madam Rose's popular science in the group, everyone knows that the relationship between Shen Qiran and Shen Menglan is not very good. His smile suddenly faded.

"If you didn't tell me, I thought you were Teacher Ranran's sister."

Shen Menglan: "..."

Does that mean she looks old? ?

"Do you have anything to do with Teacher Ranran?" Another Miss Marquis also interjected, with a polite and distant attitude, completely different from the enthusiasm she had when she talked with Shen Qiran just now.

"If there's nothing else, can you move the seat away? Many people are still waiting for their seats."

"..."

"That's right." Madam Rose opened her folding fan with a snap, and slapped it gracefully with a warm smile, "After you leave, Miss Shen, at least two slender sisters can sit in this seat, they will definitely be very grateful to you .”

***

Shen Menglan ran away in anger.

Although she was not reconciled, she really couldn't stand the unwelcoming eyes of everyone and still be calm.Shen Menglan wanted to tell her fiancé Chris about her grievances, but Chris was called upstairs to discuss matters just now, so Shen Menglan could only go to her sister group with a face of resentment.

"Lan Lan, where did you go just now? Why is your face so ugly?"

Seeing Shen Menglan's uneasy expression, several members of the sister group immediately asked with concern.

The guests at this banquet rarely interacted with their usual social circles, and it was thanks to Shen Menglan asking her fiancé to help accommodate them.It's a pity that they came, but the people in the banquet hall looked very difficult to get along with, and they couldn't talk to each other at all. The girls walked around and finally could only sit in a corner and chat in a group.

"It's nothing, just turn around." Surrounded by the sisters, Shen Menglan's mood suddenly improved a lot. She took a sip of red wine, looked around, and raised her chin reservedly, "This banquet is so boring, huh , If I had known earlier, I wouldn’t have come.”

The members of the sister group looked at each other, but didn't say a word. After all, they spent a lot of effort to sneak in. If they complained that the banquet was boring, wouldn't it be a slap in the face.

"It's so lively over there." Someone changed the subject with a smirk, raised his hand and pointed in the direction of the corner of the right hall, "Is there some great person here?"

Shen Menglan looked in the direction of the other's finger, and almost vomited blood. That table was where Shen Qiran was...Compared to when she left, there were a lot more people there, Shen Qiran was surrounded inside and even looked at her face less than.

"Hey, isn't that Mrs. Radoya? She's notoriously unsmiling, and she sometimes smiles so happily." A girl with sharp eyes recognized several celebrities one after another, "And Sister Carmet, Ang Mrs. Si..."

"Who is the person sitting inside?" The others looked more and more surprised, and looked at each other, "Could it be a newly promoted socialite? Why haven't I heard of this person before?"

Shen Menglan, who just had a bad nose at the "new celebrity courtesan", said: "..."

Damn, even more depressed!

Suddenly there was a commotion at the entrance of the banquet hall, many people followed the prestige, Shen Menglan and the others also turned their heads.

Several people dressed in royal guard uniforms surrounded a young man and walked into the banquet hall.The man has blond hair and blue eyes, and the bright red dress makes his complexion cold and pale. His overly delicate facial features make him look like a youth. Even though the whole banquet hall is looking at him enthusiastically, his expression is always cold, and his slightly frowned brows are overflowing. A bit of hostility, showing that this person doesn't seem to be in a good mood.

"It's His Highness the Third Prince!" A female companion beside Shen Menglan covered her mouth excitedly, her voice was almost out of tune due to excitement, "His Royal Highness is here too!"

As we all know, His Majesty's most beloved youngest son has always hated gatherings with many people, and it is very rare for him to appear here.Compared to her excited companion, although Shen Menglan was equally surprised, she was not surprised, and even had a feeling of being expected.

She heard from her fiancé that recently the royal family is far less peaceful than the outside world thought. The old emperor's health is getting worse day by day, His Royal Highness is not in stable condition, and the position of the heir to the throne may change at any time.At this time, the attitude of the top military officials is extremely important, and the presence of His Highness the Third Prince...maybe it is a hidden signal.

After the third prince and his party took their seats, as expected, all the prominent people in the banquet hall came to see them. However, the third prince obviously still didn't like to socialize. Most of them only exchanged a few words before being shunned by the guards.Seeing this scene, the eager girls around Shen Menglan calmed down, not daring to dream of "royal marriage".

"His Highness the Third Prince is still so difficult to get close to." A person lamented, "It would be great if he could be as kind as His Highness the First Prince."

This statement attracted a lot of approval, and some people held their faces and said yearningly.

"Even if you don't look like His Royal Highness the First Prince, it's better to be like the gentle and affectionate Second Prince."

"Yes, yes." Immediately someone echoed, "But speaking of it, is His Royal Highness the Second Prince coming back soon? He has been away from the capital for almost four years..."

Shen Menglan frowned suddenly, she subconsciously glanced at Shen Qiran's direction, and snorted softly.But because there was not much movement, it did not attract the attention of several other people.

While talking, a guard at the third prince's table suddenly turned and left, and after a while, he led another person back.

The person who was brought back was different from the previous audience who could only exchange a few words of greeting. As soon as he walked to the table, the guards graciously opened the seat for him, allowing him to sit next to His Highness the Third Prince.His Highness the Third Prince, who had been putting on a stinky face after entering the banquet hall, even stretched his brows rarely, and smiled friendlyly at that person.

The entire banquet hall seemed to be silent for a moment.

Shen Menglan's table was especially quiet.

It was so quiet that the air seemed to freeze.

After a long time, the members of the sister group gasped as if waking up from a dream, and immediately started rubbing their eyes.

"I, I don't have eyesight..." one person said in disbelief.

"Lanlan, isn't that your brother..." The other person was almost suffocated. They had all met Shen Qiran in the San Tilan Shopping Center a while ago, and they were rude to him at the time, "He and His Royal Highness know each other ??"

"It's more than acquaintance, I think it seems that the relationship is still very good..."

"It's over, we were so rude before..."

"Lanlan, say something, what is going on here?"

Shen Menglan: "..."

what happened?

She also wants to know! !
