About half an hour passed.

Fan Xunzhang led the Fan family and waited outside the door for an hour.

On the streets, the bright red carpet has fallen with a layer of dust.

Still, no one came.

The wind continued to howl, and the clouds on the horizon were blown more and more faint.

Half an hour later, the roar of an engine could finally be heard in the street.

"Father!

Fan Meng looked at it from afar, and his mood became a little excited, and on the road ahead, four high-end cars moved forward smoothly and gradually approached.

Although it is not vigorous, the Fan family finally came to the guest.

"Actually, it's a royal license plate!"

After Fan Ao saw the model and the front-end license plate clearly, his eyes were slightly raised: "It's the car in the palace!"

While everyone was talking, the convoy gradually stopped in front of the palace.

The entourage opened the car door, and Wen Ruhai, the head of the forbidden palace, got out of the car and bowed to Fan Xunzhang: "Fan Shuai! I heard that today is the birthday of the old master of Fan, and I am here to congratulate you!"

"Mr. Wen is serious! You can be there in person, Xun Zhang is terrified, hurry, please sit in the house!"

Fan Xunzhang stepped down the steps, a smile appeared on his face, Wen Ruhai was a saint's confidant, and his status in Yanjing was even more noble.

Such a big man came to celebrate his birthday in person, which definitely gave the Fan family enough face.

"Forget it, I'm here this time because I'm on official business, and it's inconvenient to stay for a long time!"

Wen Ruhai waved his hand slightly: "The Holy Lord heard that the old master of Fan had a big birthday, and specially ordered me to send a few jars of special wine from the royal family, as well as some treasures, among them, there is also my heart." ”

"Thank you for the compassion of the Holy Lord, the lower officials, I am very grateful!"

Fan Xunzhang hurriedly thanked him.

After some politeness, Wen Ruhai commanded the servants to hand over and count the subordinates of the Fan family, and at the same time lowered his voice and said: "Fan Shuai, you and I are old friends, I don't know if I should talk about some words?"

"Lord Wen is willing to mention one or two, Xun Zhang's ears are listening!"

Fan Xunzhang saw that Wen Ruhai's face was mysterious, and nodded in response.

"If you believe me, today's banquet will be canceled, otherwise, the longer it drags on, the more ugly your face will be. ”

Wen Ruhai's words are concise and to the point, and one sentence is straight to the point.

Fan Xunzhang's face turned pale: "Lord Wen, what do you know?"

"Today, it is not only your Pingxi Palace, but also the Chu Palace, and it is a post sent out early this morning. ”

Wen Ruhai smiled: "The person who sent out the invitation is Chu Tianhe, the son of the King of Chu, and in that invitation, it has been clearly marked that the King of Chu's Mansion is holding a banquet this time to make friends." ”

When Fan Xunzhang heard this, his face was gloomy.

The timing of the banquet in the Chu Palace's Mansion was so ingenious, and the intention was so straightforward, so what was going on has been revealed, perhaps before, many people still intended to participate in the banquet in the Pingxi Palace, but in the face of the same invitation from the Chu royal family, whether everyone is ready to favor the first king in the world, or to make friends with the Fan family, who has no power outside the western border, the position seems to be a good choice.

"A few days ago, Chu Tianhe had already spread the rumors because of the humiliation of your precious daughter in the Osmanthus Building, and now, even the rumors have spread in the palace, who do you think today's banquet in the Chu Palace's Mansion is aimed at?"

Wen Ruhai spoke, and gently patted Fan Xunzhang's arm: "Since the Chu royal family held a banquet, I naturally have to inform and leave." ”

After that, Wen Ruhai boarded the car and left.

On the street in front of the Pingxi Palace, there was silence again.

The cold wind is Xiao Xiao, Fan Xunzhang stood on the edge of the long street, and his heart was angry, after all, Chu Tianhe's choice to hold a banquet during this time period was already a provocation to the Pingxi Palace, although Fan Xunzhang was usually low-key and had little influence, it did not mean that he had no temper.

Especially the sentence that Chu Tianhe invited everyone to feast, the Chu royal family wants to make friends at today's banquet, so what do you mean?

Now that the friends are gone, it seems that the enemy is already on the surface.

Presumably at this moment, the palace of the King of Chu has already been singing and dancing, and the atmosphere is warm.

The reason why Fan Xunzhang planned to match the marriage between Fan Ke and Chu Tianhe was because the Chu royal family was powerful and it was not easy to offend, and he also wanted to consolidate his position by marrying with the Chu royal family.

It is not uncommon for royal magnates to use intermarriage to make friends.

But Fan Xunzhang never expected that what was originally a good thing would turn into a feud because of this.

Originally, Fan Xunzhang still thought that after today, he would find an opportunity to explain the matter to Chu Tianhe to avoid the incident from fermenting.

Unexpectedly, Chu Tianhe was one step ahead of others and launched a counterattack against the Fan family without warning, I am afraid that at this moment, Chu Tianhe is happily touted by everyone, not only proud of what happened to the Fan family, but also eager to step on two more feet.

Although the influence of Pingxi Wangfu is extraordinary.

But compared to the first vassal king in the kingdom of the sky, the royal family of the Chu family.

Still, a little tired.

"Buzz!"

At the same time, another train was rolling in.

"Whew!"

Seeing the approaching convoy, Fan Xunzhang let out a long breath.

It seems that even if the reputation of the Chu royal family is prosperous, it is not one hand to cover the sky in this Beijing division, after all, there are still people who favor the Fan family.

But in the next moment, Fan Xunzhang's anger had been lifted to the top.

Because the one who got out of the car was actually Chu Quan, the housekeeper of the Chu Palace's palace in Yanjing.

In front of the Pingxi Palace, Chu Quan was arrogant, and gradually approached Fan Xunzhang: "Fan Shuai! Today, my Chu royal family held a banquet, nearly a thousand guests, and the wine stored in the house has been drunk, so I was ordered by the prince to go to the osmanthus building to order another batch of wine, but I didn't want the road to be unfamiliar, and I walked to your mansion, and saw that the road ahead was blocked, so please pass it on and release our convoy." ”

The tone is humble, but the provocation in it is already ready to be heard.

At this moment, the door of Pingxi Wangfu is crowded, but the people of the Chu royal family formed a convoy, deliberately relying on the ** Xiwang Mansion, showing off the thousands of guests in the mansion, and also found an excuse that even children don't believe in getting lost.

This is not a show of power, and what is it?

Fan Xunzhang stood in front of the Pingxi Palace, silent for a long time, without saying a word, but the look in his eyes became more and more gloomy.

Today, the Chu royal family can be said to be too deceitful.

Today, he Pingxi Wangfu is even more depressed to the extreme.

Who would have expected that a feast that was originally thought to be full of people and thousands of people would fall to such a point, and there was no one in the huge palace.

"Fan Shuai, are you not ready to let our convoy pass in front of your door?"

Chu Quan saw that Fan Xunzhang's face was angry, with a faint smile on his face, and he was not afraid.

"Release!"

After a while, Fan Xunzhang clenched his steel teeth, and almost two words burst out between his teeth.

It is true that he is extremely disgusted with Chu Tianhe's approach at the moment.

But since the other party dares to do this, he naturally has no fear.

The Chu royal family, the Fan family really can't afford to provoke.

"Hehe, since that's the case, then I'll thank Fan Shuai. ”

When Chu Quan heard this, he shrugged his shoulders slightly, and walked to the side of the car with a relaxed pace: "Before I came, the prince said a word, he said, this Yanjing, it's all good, but the water is too deep, some people think they have some power, so they dare to offend anyone, but they never thought that if they provoke people who shouldn't be provoked, they will eventually be in trouble." ”
