The next day, at 5 pm.
Zhao Siqing changed into her gown and led Huo Jingchen to the banquet hall.
The entire Huo family was brightly lit and extremely magnificent.
In the spacious hall, there were beautiful clothes, beautiful hair, and many celebrities. All kinds of high-ranking officials and dignitaries could be seen everywhere. Celebrities and bigwigs were everywhere. Those faces that could only be seen on television and magazines.. At this moment, they were all gathered in this magnificent palace.
Zhao Siqing's gaze swept over them lightly. She could not help but sigh at the power of the Huo family once again.
No wonder so many people were trying their best to squeeze in. From the perspective of status and wealth, squeezing into the huo family was indeed enough for many people to live comfortably for a few lifetimes.
After entering the venue, Huo Jingchen, the eldest grandson of the Huo family, appeared to be particularly busy. Many things in the huo family had to be handled by him.
Zhao Siqing walked around the venue on her own. It did not take long for her to meet Nalan Yanran.
"This Old Lady of the Huo family is quite a big deal, isn't she? If you don't know, you would think that she is here to celebrate the birthday of the empress dowager. " Nalan Yanran glanced at the seats on the stage and said as she ate.
"You really dare to say anything. Aren't you afraid that others will hear you? " Zhao Siqing said gently.
"I'll just listen. The old man at home has been very arrogant recently. Now that he's made a mess, we can see how good he is, " Nalan Yanran said absent-mindedly.
Zhao Siqing retracted her gaze, but she could not help but sigh at the accuracy of NA LAN's metaphor. "speaking of which, it does feel like a group of courtiers paying their respects. "
"You're not going to make us kneel, are you? I'm not going to kneel anyway... why don't you just give me a ten-zhang bonus? " Nalan Yanran said faintly.
Zhao Siqing took the pastry from her hand and stopped her from eating it. "You're so dramatic. "
At this point, Nalan Yanran became energetic. "Qingqing, what do you think about me becoming an actress in the future? "
Zhao Siqing glanced at her and said gently, "acting as what? As Su Daji? "
Then, without waiting for Nalan Yanran to speak, the music in the venue quieted down a little Then, the voice of the host rang out. "Dear guests, dear friends... I'm very happy to be able to gather together with everyone on such a beautiful night to celebrate the 76th birthday of Madam Ye Chunhua... "
Before the host could finish his sentence, Nalan Yanran lost interest. "I thought there would be a eunuch coming to announce the imperial edict or something like that. "
Zhao Siqing silently returned the pastries that she had just taken away to her. "You should continue eating. "
Nalan Yanran took two bites of the cake in her hand and did not say anything else.
Zhao Siqing looked over from afar. Old Madam Huo's head was full of silver strands. She was wearing a dark red cheongsam with embroidered patterns and a set of jade necklace and earrings.
The old man was a little Chubby. There were many wrinkles on his face, but he was hale and hearty, and his eyes were shining brightly.
She looked up at the guests below the stage and nodded with a smile.
Zhao Siqing could feel that her smile had not reached the bottom of her eyes. She could even feel a chill above her head when her gaze swept past.
Zhao Siqing's heart sank. This old Madam Huo was not quite what she had imagined.
She had thought that the old man would favor Huo Jingchen, his eldest grandson, but from the looks of it, this old madam gave her the impression that she was shrewd and snobbish.
As for grandfather huo, his face was red and his aura was steady. Although his eyes were a little cloudy, they were exceptionally powerful. He was obviously not a good person to be with.
Zhao Siqing felt a headache when she thought of Mrs. Huo, who she could not tell before.
At this moment, she finally understood why Yang Jingqiu had compared the huo family to a dragon's den and a Tiger's den. From the looks of these people, the Huo family was indeed not an ordinary family.
