The green smoke of the bonfire rose into the sky, dozens of dancing girls were dancing for nine days, the sound of silk and bamboo, the aftermath of the beams, and countless delicious wines and delicacies - tonight's banquet can be said to be the grandest in the Beiguo Garden.

And people are also enjoying this grand banquet under the stars and in front of the bonfire, including Xu Youshan and the four.

"Xu Mingxi, why did you rub it over again, at this moment, shouldn't you be on your uncle's grandmother's side?" Xu Yourong asked Xu Mingcheng beside him.

"Grandmother, there are too many people on their side, and they are all here to talk about sycophants, and there are so many lies that I can't get used to hearing them. …… So I talked to my grandmother, and she asked me to come over. Xu Mingming, who was still biting a piece of tender lamb chops in his mouth, said inarticulately.

"Tsk, look at you being spoiled, you brazenly say that you can't get used to hearing others pat you on the back?" But after listening to Xu Mingcheng's words, Xu Yourong shook his head and sighed.

"Hey, Xu Yourong, can you not keep distorting my meaning, what I said is obviously that I can't get used to listening to their lies." Xu Mingcheng looked at Xu Yourong deliberately shaking his head and said angrily.

"Oh, yes, but I think that's what it means."

"How can this be a meaning."

"Is it impossible?"

"Of course not."

Xu Yourong and Xu Mingcheng are on the bar again, but Xu Mingwen, who is alone on the side, is a little lonely, this Sister Shan said to go and see if there is anything delicious, but why hasn't she come back for so long.

Xu Mingwen was next to Xu Yourong and Xu Mingxi, who were bickering, chattering about Xu Youshan. But Xu Youshan was in the corner of the banquet, talking to another person in secret.

"Another change?"

Xu Youshan looked at the face of the person opposite her, and it became more and more beautiful and frightening when the lights were turned on. But at the same time, I also slandered in my heart: What is a man doing so beautifully, it's really annoying.

"Yes, my people just sent another message this morning, and the arrangement on Xie Yan's side seems to have changed again."

The person opposite Xu Youshan is, of course, the eldest prince Xie Jing, Xie Jing is also looking at Xu Youshan who is facing the bright lights, and his long eyebrows are slightly frowned. Said with some annoyance.

In fact, in the past few years, there have not been many changes in the government and the opposition, although Concubine De's maternal uncle Ling Bi Ruofeng is the former Shangshu. was knocked down by Concubine Xian, but the second prince Xie Yan and his vein were only dormant for a period of time before recovering their vitality, after all, the hundred-legged insect died but did not stiffen, and the Bi family was also a generation with deep roots. Although he fell a veteran and important minister-level Bi Ruofeng. But it was also poured neatly, and there was no sign of breaking the muscles and bones.

And although the Bi family has fallen to Bi Ruofeng, now a lot of fresh blood of the Bi family has also been transfused into the court, and there are several amazing descendants among them, so the second prince Xie Yan is not only not weakened, but stronger than before.

Therefore, the current situation in the court is actually still a three-legged stand - the eldest prince Xie Jing; the second prince, Xie Yan; The third prince, Xie Wen.

But although it is said to be a three-legged stand. But in the eyes of the other two parties, the vein of the eldest prince Xie Jing is just an irrelevant character. Although it has not been able to get rid of it, it is just an ant-like struggle, and it is not worth mentioning.

But in such a situation, the Xu family has always maintained a neutral position, which makes the second prince Xie Yan and the third prince Xie Wen, who have been deadlocked, very greedy, and they all hope to swallow this huge bargaining chip. So in the past few years, after Xu Mingcheng married Qi Xuan, not only Xie Yan and Xie Wen began to do things against Xu Yourong and Xu Mingwen again, but even the concubines and virtuous concubines in the deep palace were not idle, if it weren't for the protection of the old princess of Beiding, Xu Yourong and Xu Mingwen didn't know how many ways they could get.

Therefore, the more at such a stalemate, the more Xie Jing can't let them succeed, so even if Xu Youshan is so disobedient and works against Xie Jing and doesn't reveal a trace of information about Xu Yourong and Xu Mingwen to him, Xie Jing still keeps reporting to Xu Youshan, so that she can keep Xu Yourong and Xu Mingwen awake in advance, and not be secretly calculated by Xie Yan and Xie Wen.

"So you're going to have to pay attention tonight."

"yes, I know."

And although Xu Youshan didn't want to care about these tricks in the court, it was about Xu Yourong and Xu Mingwen, so Xu Youshan had always cooperated with Xie Jing and believed in him in this matter, so after the two talked secretly for a while, Xu Youshan returned to Xu Yourong and their side, and said very seriously: "I have something to say to you." ”

In fact, about Xie Yan's actions and the fact that he wants to set up Xu Yourong and Xu Ming's wife, it is best to keep silent if you don't tell them, after all, if you talk about this matter, there will be too many things that are not easy to talk about.

But now that the situation is urgent, how can Xu Youshan alone be able to fight Xie Yan's shocking calculations? Therefore, I can't help but talk about it at this time.

"What's the matter, why do you have such a serious expression."

Looking at Xu Youshan's serious expression, Xu Yourong put down the mulberry wine in his hand a little uncomfortably, and asked strangely.

"That's it, Sister Shan, don't be like this, otherwise I thought the sky was going to fall." Xu Mingcheng said uncomfortably.

"Sister Shan, aren't you being bullied by anyone?" Xu Mingwen also approached Xu Youshan and said carefully.

"Yes."

But just when Xu Yourong and the three of them were all strange, Xu Youshan actually nodded and said, "It's just that there is a big thing about the sky falling." Immediately, Xu Youshan told Xu Yourong and the three of them everything about the matter, except for concealing that the source of the news was Xie Jing who told her, Xu Youshan changed it, it was just when she went to the bonfire, when she passed a corner, she heard the muttering of two palace maids, and there were names of Xu Yourong and Xu Mingwen in the muttering, and just when Xu Youshan was curious to follow the reputation, she saw one of them, who was the palace maid she had seen next to Xie Yan.

“……”

However, just after Xu Youshan finished talking to Xu Yourong and the three of them, Xu Yourong and the three of them were silent.

"What should I do?" Xu Youshan asked them.

"It's probably not big, it's not small. We can't be the master, we have to tell our grandfather and grandmother. Xu Yourong directly skipped Xu Xi and proposed to tell the old lady Xu Rong and Mrs. Qi.

"Hmm. It's true that we can't do this, but we can't just go about it. But Xu Mingcheng looked straight at Xu Yourong and said.

"You're right." And after Xu Mingcheng finished speaking, Xu Yourong immediately answered.

But listening to the two of them talking word by word, Xu Youshan and Xu Mingwen were stunned, and Xu Mingwen was okay, and after a while, they understood the meaning of Xu Yourong and Xu Ming's words, but Xu Youshan was still confused.

But this confusion didn't last long. Xu Youshan understood in Xu Yourong's next words.

"Sister Shan, listen, we will go and tell my grandfather and grandmother about this in a while. Let them decide, but this must be changed, and you will remember that I overheard it when I went to get food. Not you. Got it? Xu Yourong looked at Xu Youshan and solemnly instructed.

In the Xu family, although Xu Youshan's current situation is much better than at the beginning, it is still not comparable to Xu Yourong, especially in front of the old lady Xu Rong and Mrs. Qi, what Xu Youshan said will never be as convincing as Xu Yourong said, and Xu Yourong and the three of them have no trust in Xu Youshan at all. Just because everyone else is like that.

Therefore, after Xu Youshan's nose was sour. looked at Xu Yourong gratefully, nodded seriously, and said that he knew, and Xu Yourong and the others, in order not to make a mistake, before they went to tell the old lady Xu Rong and Mrs. Qi about this, Xu Yourong also deliberately went to the other side of the bonfire alone.

"Grandmother, I have something to tell you."

After Xu Yourong came back, Xu Youshan and the four of them all walked to Mrs. Qi and reported to Mrs. Qi.

"Oh, what's wrong?"

Looking at the serious expressions of Xu Youshan and the others, Old Madam Qi said with a straight face.

"Grandmother, here's the thing." And then, Xu Yourong told Mrs. Qi everything.

"Is there such a thing?" After Xu Yourong finished speaking, Old Madam Qi squinted, looked at Xu Yourong and asked softly, "That palace maid, have you indeed seen it by His Royal Highness the Second Prince?" ”

"If you go back to my grandmother, I am indeed by the side of His Royal Highness the Second Prince, and I have seen the palace maid." But under the pressure of Old Madam Qi's momentum, Xu Yourong said that she was not weak at all, because she was indeed not weak at all.

"That's good." And Old Madam Qi also withdrew her gaze from staring at her under Xu Yourong's categorical answer, and said: "You don't have to worry about this, find a reason for it in a while, and I will let the four of you go back to the snow garden, don't worry." ”

"Yes, grandmother."

Under Mrs. Qi's words, Xu Youshan and the four of them were all relieved, especially Xu Youshan, when Mrs. Qi asked Xu Yourong tightly just now, her heart was about to jump out of her throat, but fortunately, the other three covered her at the end, otherwise she would not have escaped Mrs. Qi's eyes.

And just like that, after Xu Youshan and the four of them reported to the old lady Qi, they gently sat back in their original positions, but in the middle of the banquet, when the atmosphere became more and more white-hot, Concubine De suddenly attached to Emperor Zhou Hui's ear and said something, Emperor Zhou Hui said with a smile: "Everyone, today is a good day, not only the sixth son of the Zhenguo family, Nie Suhyun, won the main victory of this hunting conference, but also he captured a rare white fox alive a few days ago, this is really auspicious." ”

"This is the Holy Heaven." Everyone said.

The white fox is very rare in this era, and it has appeared a few times in the records of the past dynasties, and there are only a handful. But these few appearances happened to collide with several major events at the moment, so the white fox was also regarded as a symbol of auspiciousness, which made Emperor Zhou Hui so happy.

"And taking advantage of today's good day, it's better to be on the scene now, and have another riding and archery performance to help Zhuxing."

Emperor Zhou Hui said with great interest, and since he had proposed it like this, how could the other people object, so another cheer rang out.

"But the saint, it's too boring to ride and shoot like this, so it's better to give some more color on today's good day." At this time, Concubine De next to Emperor Zhou Hui suddenly said.

"Color? Okay, Aifei, what color do you want? Zhou Hui said in an air.

"This ...... Why don't you ask the person who shoots the best for a while to make a wish, and whatever that wish is, you'll help him make it happen, okay? Concubine De said after a distressed look.

"Okay, just do what you say, concubine, hahaha......"

Emperor Zhou Hui raised his glass and motioned for everyone to toast, and everyone responded by hurriedly raising their glasses, but when Emperor Zhou Hui drank all the wine in the cup, no one saw the sneer in his eyes.

And it was also at this time that the four of Xu Youshan, who had a big alarm bell in their heads, also stiffened their bodies without a smile.

"Ill-intentioned, ill-intentioned!" Xu Mingcheng said dumbfoundedly.

"Oops." Xu Youshan's face was also ugly.

But at this moment, Xu Yourong and Xu Mingwen, who were taken as prey, were very silent.

"What should I do?" But Xu Mingcheng still looked at Xu Yourong and asked worriedly. Such a scene and mood are no strangers to Xu Mingxi, because a few years ago, she was the one who was in prison.

"Don't do anything, now this game is still trapped by them, even if we know in advance, there is no way, we can only hope that grandfather and grandmother will have a way to help us escape." Xu Yourong said quietly.

Yes, after thinking about it, I didn't expect that the second prince Xie Yan and they set up such a simple and too effective game, and now no matter whether Xu Yourong and Xu Mingwen are at the scene or not, as long as Xie Yan and they really succeed, the ending will be the same.

"Alas, I said a long time ago, you should have set the family affairs early, otherwise, how could there be this day." Xu Mingcheng said angrily.

“……”

But not to mention Xu Yourong this time, even Xu Youshan and Xu Mingwen didn't talk. Because Xu Yourong doesn't need to say much, she cares about Nie Suhyun and just wants to marry Nie Suhyun, which is almost what the whole world needs to know. But even if you don't talk about her, just talk about Xu Ming's wife, it is also a difficult problem to solve, because the current situation in the DPRK is chaotic and unclear, and almost all of the big families who are in charge of the Xu family in Jiangzuo are on the side, which is impossible for the Xu family, which is resolutely neutral.

And if you don't choose the right one, then the choice is very wide, but this is also impossible for the Xu family, after all, at this juncture, if a slightly weaker clan dares to marry the daughter of the Xu family, it will also be devastating.

So now, Xu Yourong and Xu Mingwen are like being forced into a dead end by this turbulent situation.

"I'm sorry."

But when the terrifying silence passed, it was Xu Mingcheng who opened his mouth first.

"It's fine."

And Xu Yourong also smiled slightly and said. It's just her laughter, how she looks, how weak. (To be continued......)
