Chapter 118: The Banquet
"What about Yiwen?" Ignoring Qi Sheng's fiery gaze, he couldn't see the crown prince Su Qingluan left and right, so he asked Su Qingyuan.
"Oh," Su Qingyuan said with a smile, "There are a lot of guests today, and the prince's brother has gone to the front to greet the guests." After speaking, he squeezed his eyebrows at Su Qingluan, which was very funny.
Su Qingluan nodded, and said to Su Qingyu, "Today is just to come to visit the crown princess, let's go back!"
Su Qingyu nodded, Su Qingluan's proposal was exactly what he wanted.
"Our gifts have also been delivered, it's really boring to stay here, why don't we also go to the Imperial Sister's Mansion to sit down?" As soon as Su Qingyuan spoke, Mei Yihua immediately stood up, and they followed when Su Qingluan moved.
Su Qingyu glanced at the two of them coldly, if they said this, then Qi Sheng would definitely want to follow.
Sure enough, Qi Sheng immediately spoke, "Eldest princess, we are also friends, I wonder if I have the honor to be a guest at your mansion?"
Su Qingluan raised his eyebrows slightly, a little embarrassed, "I'm afraid this is a little inappropriate, the thirteenth prince is different from them, they are all my younger brothers, and the son of the auxiliary general's family is my cousin, you..."
Qi Sheng was also a little embarrassed when he heard Su Qingluan's words, and he also found out a few days after coming to Beijing that both men, women, and children in the capital were very concerned about these rules, and it was not unreasonable for her to worry.
At this moment, Su Qingyuan spoke, "Isn't the Ninth Brother's Mansion just next door to the Imperial Sister? β
Su Qingluan glanced at Su Qingyuan lightly, and when she said that, it would be a little rude for her to refuse again, and they didn't go to her house, "Then it depends on what the ninth brother says." β
Su Qingyu was just about to open his mouth to refuse, but Su Qingyuan and Mei Yihua grabbed one of his arms and walked forward, "Oh, ninth brother, don't be so stingy, let's go." β
So the group left noisily, and before leaving, Su Qingluan did not forget to tell Dai He to go and inform the prince, and by the way, let the prince send someone to take Qi Sheng away after two hours.
Two hours should be the maximum that Su Qingyu can tolerate.
Su Qingyu and the four of them rode behind Su Qingluan's car, looking at Su Qingyuan and Mei Yihua's appearance of fearing that the world would not be chaotic, and said coldly, "The day after tomorrow is my cousin's big day, isn't my cousin busy?"
Mei Yihua knew that Su Qingyu was very unhappy at this time, and said with a smile, "It's okay, my mother and eldest sister have everything in the house to worry about, I just wait for the day after tomorrow to meet my relatives." β
Su Qingyuan and Mei Yihua ignored Su Qingyu's eye knife that swept over from time to time, and chatted happily with Qi Sheng on the side. Su Qingluan sat in the carriage and thought about why the two of them were so enthusiastic about Qi Sheng today, and they couldn't guess it after thinking about it, so they didn't think about it, in short, they wouldn't have any crooked thoughts.
Speaking of which, why Su Qingyuan and Mei Yihua are so abnormal today, this can be traced back to when Yuan Junyao came to Beijing not long ago. Between the identities of the two of them, they also knew something about Yuan Junyao and Su Qingluan, so when Yuan Junyao came to Beijing, the two of them tried Yuan Junyao with the intention of checking for Su Qingluan.
Of course, what they won't admit is that after several small tests in a row, they found that Yuan Junyao had no weaknesses, or had weaknesses but had not been discovered by them, in short, the two of them did not bargain under Yuan Junyao, so the two of them kept on the bar with Yuan Junyao until Yuan Junyao left Jingjing.
No, now that Qi Sheng's stunned young man appeared, they simply pushed the boat down the river and let Qi Sheng contact Su Qingluan more, of course, they were not really ready to match the two of them. Just wait for the news of "Prince Beirong's crazy pursuit of the eldest princess of Jing'an" to reach Yuan Junyao's ears, and add some blockage to that man.
At this time, Su Qingyuan and Mei Yihua didn't feel how naΓ―ve their behavior was at this time.
The Prince's Mansion is not far from the Mansion of the Eldest Princess of Jing'an, and a few people arrived in a short time, pulling Qi Sheng, who was eager to follow Su Qingluan's buttocks, and Su Qingyu and his party came to Su Qingyu's Nine Emperor Princes' Mansion. Although he couldn't share the same roof with Su Qingluan, after knowing that the Nine Emperors' Mansion and the Jing'an Eldest Princess's Mansion were only separated by a wall, Qi Sheng was immediately happy again.
Su Qingyu, the Nine Emperor Prince, who had "not welcome" written on his face, coldly told the housekeeper to prepare the banquet, the housekeeper was used to Su Qingyu's coldness on weekdays, but today he felt that his master seemed to be in a particularly bad mood. Because that face can no longer be called cold, at this moment you can almost feel the cold air emanating from his body. The housekeeper bowed his head and hurriedly retreated after following Su Qingyu's orders, for fear that he would be frozen by the cold air emitted by his master if he stayed by his master's side for a while.
"Hey, what are you doing with a stinky face, can we still eat your Nine Emperor Princes today?" Su Qingyuan came from behind and put his arms around Su Qingyu's neck, although the other party didn't like his affectionate actions and was about to throw him out.
Su Qingyu resisted the urge to throw Su Qingyuan out, took his arm away instead, and said in a cold voice, "If you don't explain clearly, hurry up and take Qi Sheng out." β
Su Qingyuan looked grinning, and didn't care at all about Su Qingyu's unkindness, "Oh, it's actually nothing." As he spoke, he simply said the "grievances" between him and Yuan Junyao before, and at the end, he was still indignant, "You say, is this Yuan Junyao too much, a lot of age is still greedy for the beauty of the imperial sister, and he is so unloving to my future brother-in-law, how can he not let him add some blockage." β
Su Qingyu looked at Su Qingyuan with a look of contempt, "Qi Sheng, that stunned person is your means of revenge?" but he deeply agreed with what Su Qingyuan said, "Yuan Junyao is still greedy for Su Qingluan's beauty at his age".
"What's wrong?" Su Qingyuan was puzzled, wasn't Qi Sheng the best chess piece to use to fight Yuan Junyao at the moment?
Su Qingyu glanced at Su Qingyuan and said lightly, "You just look at it." After finishing speaking, he stopped paying attention to Su Qingyuan and walked straight forward.
Su Qingyuan touched his chin and thought on the spot, it seemed that this silent and sinister Nine Emperor Brother had some ideas, he might as well just look at what he was going to do.
Seeing that it was already time for lunch, the housekeeper came over to ask if it was okay to start the banquet, Su Qingyu nodded, and the housekeeper immediately went down to prepare.
"Don't you invite the imperial sister over?" Su Qingyuan couldn't help but be curious when he saw that Su Qingyu had no intention of sending someone to the Jing'an Eldest Princess's Mansion next door to invite someone.
Su Qingyu glanced at him and left without saying a word, this guy obviously asked knowingly. Qi Sheng, that guy is here, how could he possibly invite her over.
During the banquet, Qi Sheng saw that Su Qingluan did not appear at the banquet, and couldn't help asking, "Why don't you see the eldest princess, doesn't she say that she lives next door?"
Just now, Su Qingyuan had already told Mei Yihua in private about Su Qingyu's plans, and at this moment, he was not so enthusiastic about helping Qi Sheng get close to Su Qingluan, the two glanced at each other, and Mei Yihua said, "Yes, but the eldest princess has a lot of things to do, so naturally she has no time to dine with us, so let's not disturb her." β
Qi Sheng was very puzzled by Mei Yihua's words, but looking at the expressions of the few people present, it was impossible to dine with Su Qingluan today, and he was suddenly lost, and everyone was not interested in the meal.
