"This is the Lotus Girl."

Yu Shu turned his head to look at Xue Rui, and raised her eyes slightly, when did she change her name, why didn't she know what to do?

Xue Rui replied to her a slightly calm look, pointed to everyone in the hall, and introduced her one by one: "This is the prince of the Xiang Wang, this is the little son of General Feng's family, this is the second young master of the Qi scholar family of the Hanlin Academy, and this is the only son of Lord Zhongyong Borui. ̈"

Yu Shu followed Xue Rui to recognize the person, although she herself was a real nameless, but for the sake of Xue Rui's face, the group of second ancestors present responded amicably, and there was no embarrassment, but Feng Zhaomiao was very interested in Yu Shu, and kept talking:

"Is the Lianfang girl also a student of Taishi Academy, why haven't I seen it before? Did you come in by special examination? ”

Yu Shu saw that Xue Rui didn't help her explain what he meant, so he replied honestly: "I'm not a student of Taishi Academy. ”

The seating arrangement between this banquet is relaxed, Xue Rui led Yu Shu to sit down behind a pair of adjacent incense cases, although it is an adjacent table, but it is not the same seat, and then look at the ladies and ladies in this hall, their behavior is also very generous and well-behaved.

"Since you are not a student of Shuyuan, then you must be a disciple of which master, dare to ask who the master is?" In Feng Zhaomiao's opinion, the female guests brought by Xue Rui must have some origins.

Yu Shu said: "There is a master, but he is an old man who understands it in simple terms, and he doesn't have a good name. ”

"Huh?" Feng Zhaomiao was a little surprised, turned around and bumped Xue Rui's arm, and asked anxiously in a whisper, "Brother Rui, where did you find someone to make up the numbers?" Why didn't you invite the sisters of Taishi Shuyuan, didn't I let people go over yesterday to report the news, and the sons of the world are waiting for you to be killed today. ”

Xue Lu glanced over his shoulder at Yu Shu, and said with a smile: "It's not necessarily who kills whom." ”

Yu Shu's ears were very sharp, and when she heard Feng Gongzi and Xue Rui muttering, she didn't feel unhappy to be despised, and when she lived to her age, she couldn't get angry easily with a sentence or two.

"Zhaoqing, what are you two whispering, tell it and let us all listen

Liu Jiong patted the table, and Feng Zhaoqing immediately sat up straight: "What else can I say, I haven't seen Brother Rui for many days." Anyway, who else did you invite today, Shizi, you haven't come here yet, let us sit here and wait, the shelf is really big enough. ”

As soon as his words fell, he heard a loud laugh and sent him into the door:

"I'm just a little late, and I heard Zhao Miao complain about whether I will be turned away if I come late?"

The room was quiet, Yu Shu turned his head, but saw a few figures entering one after another, the young man at the head looked to be in his twenties, wearing a smoky purple smock, holding a gold jasper hook on his head, hanging green color longevity beads on his neck, and his chest was full of splendid eyebrows and sideburns, quite like a jade tree in the wind.

Yu Shu was curious about the identity of this person, and his eyes fell on the slender woman who was behind him, covered with green gauze, slightly stunned, and subconsciously turned his head away, squeezing his eyes at Xue Rui at the adjacent table:

Why is Ji Xingxuan here?

However, Xue Rui did not receive her inquiry at the moment, he looked at the few people in front of the door, and the smile that was still on his face disappeared in an instant.

At this time, all the people in the hall had come to their senses and stood up one after another:

"See the Seven Princes."

Yu Shuting's heart was shocked, and he hurriedly followed everyone to get up and salute, the Seventh Prince? Why is this even the prince here?

Liu Hao waved his hand and said casually: "What are you restrained, I'm here to play with you today, are you so polite to treat me as an outsider, sit down." ”

He turned his head to look at Xue Rui again, smiled, and his voice was a little kinder: "Chengbi, let me catch you."

Chengbi? The call is affectionate, Yu Shu said silently, and glanced at Xue Rui, who was expressionless, is this his word or number?

"Yes, eldest brother, you haven't seen anyone since you returned to Beijing, Your Highness has made several appointments with you but it hasn't been successful, if it weren't for the fact that you are busy with official business, you would have avoided us."

As soon as he heard this voice, Yu Shu noticed that on the right side of the Seventh Prince, there were other people standing, this was a sixteen or seventeen-year-old young man who spoke, medium height, white skin, slender eyes, and an overly affectionate smile on his face, I don't know why, which made Yu Shu a little uncomfortable.

He called Brother Xue Rui? Then this is also the young master of the Xue family?

Yu Shu thought well, this young man is the young master of another in-law of the Xue family, Xue Kuangxu, who is born from the third son of Xue Laoshangshu's knees, and is also a lone seedling under the name of the third room, and Xue Rui is only the eldest and youngest.

The sudden arrival of a few people made the relaxed and happy atmosphere just now invisibly become a little nervous, and the most wonderful expression on his face was Feng Zhaomiao who was sitting on Xue Rui's side, he looked at this, looked at that, he was at a loss, and he blushed a little.

Yu Shu wasn't sure if she would be recognized by Ji Xingxuan in women's clothes, so she stood with her back to her, but instead faced Xue Rui and saw the expression on his face clearly.

But seeing that he was extremely silent, he suddenly became suspicious, why did he look at him a little wrong?

The late arrival made the scene awkward all of a sudden, everyone seemed to be waiting for Xue Rui to speak, Yu Shu didn't know what entanglements were between these people, and was thinking about how to mix up today, when he heard Xue Rui speak:

"Shizi, I forgot that I still have something to deal with in the Yamen, so I will stay soon today."

At this time, even Yu Shu could see that Xue Rui was not on the right page with the Seven Princes and the other Young Master Xue, didn't he know that these people would come today?

After Xue Rui finished speaking, he didn't stay long, waved his hand at Yu Shu, and was about to leave the table with her, but Liu Jiong, the prince of the world, was anxious and shouted behind him:

"Brother Rui, don't leave in a hurry!"

Someone shouted in the back, and naturally there was someone in front of him, Xue Rui looked at Liu Hao's arm blocking him, stopped, and looked at him with a bit of mockery in his eyes.

was looked at by him like this, Liu Hao was helpless: "Chengbi, do you really want to have no contact with me, that day was-"

"There is no need to mention the events of the day." Xue Rui frowned and interrupted him, turned his head and said coldly to Liu Jiong, who had caught up:

"The arrangement of the prince today is really painstaking, but I have never had the elegance of adult beauty, so you have wasted your efforts."

As soon as Liu Jiong heard this, he knew that it was bad, Xue Rui turned his face with him, and suddenly regretted agreeing to Liu Hao, take care of this idle matter, the grievances and grievances between them, what is his business?

Yu Shu looked at Xue Rui putting on a stinky face in front of a prince and a prince, saying unpleasant words, secretly pinching a cold sweat for him, and wondering more and more in his heart, this surnamed Xue has always been tactful, why is he so bad-tempered at this time, as if he has changed people.

Liu Jiong no longer persuaded him, but it didn't mean that Liu Hao was willing to let go, he stopped in front of Xue Rui with his hand, not moving at all, but his face was gone, and his eyebrows were horizontal, revealing a bit of domineering:

"Since you're here, there's no reason to just go.

Yu Shu sighed secretly, is this soft or not, do you want to come hard?

Xue Rui's footsteps turned and faced Liu Hao: "How will Your Highness stay?" ”

Liu Hao's eyes flickered, "I'm here to gamble today, why don't you bet with me for a game, if you win, you should do one thing for me, if I win, you should do one thing, how about it?" ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the hall changed color, and everyone knew that Liu Hao's words were not a joke, but a serious gamble with Xue Rui.

"Why, you don't dare?" Liu Hao saw that Xue Rui didn't answer, so he said excitedly: "After leaving Beijing for two years, your courage has become a lot smaller, Xue Chengbi back then, now he has become a turtle with a shrunken head, can he only hide?" ”

"What to bet on." Xue Rui interrupted his taunt, Yu Shu's eyelids jumped, and she vaguely felt that it was not good, but in this case, she couldn't persuade him out loud.

Liu Hao smiled triumphantly, didn't give him a chance to regret it, turned his head to Liu Jiong and said, "You have rat poison from the palace in this house, go find a pack." ”

Liu Jionghu doubted: "What do you want rat poison for?" ”

Liu Hao was not polite to this cousin: "If you want to go, you can go, where do you come from so many words." ”

Liu Jiong had no choice but to send someone to find it, and after a while, the rat poison was found, and everyone watched Liu Hao take a few teacups and pour wine, sprinkle the white rat poison powder into one of the cups, cover the tea lid, throw the empty paper bag aside, sweep around the house, and point to Feng Zhaomiao and said:

"Zhaomiao, come on, drop these cups, and the rest of you will turn your backs, and you are not allowed to look at any of them."

Hearing this, everyone should have guessed what he was going to do, and was about to stop him, so Liu Hao first warned coldly:

"Today is my private affair with Chengbi, if anyone interjects a sentence or says more, don't blame me for being ruthless."

A few people swallowed the words, Feng Zhaomiao was forced to step forward and change the positions of the cups that looked exactly the same, and then Liu Hao stepped forward with a little bit of the person's name, and changed it four times before and after, and it was not clear which cup was poisonous and which was not.

After doing this, Liu Hao retreated to Xue Rui's side, pointed to the six cups, and said to him: "See, there are six cups there, only one cup is poisonous, the rat poison in this palace, you also know that although poison does not kill people, but after taking it by mistake, it is inevitable that it will be poisoned and injured, and it will leave sequelae." Now you and I will pick three cups, and whoever drinks the poisonous one will lose, and if the non-poisonous one is drunk, he will win. ”

Liu Jiong, as today's master, saw that the two of them were going to fight for life on his territory, and couldn't help but speak: "Aren't you cheating on me, if something happens to me, how can I explain to Lu Shang?" ”

Liu Hao said: "Why are you cheating, I didn't say that you must drink the poisonous wine if you pick it, just admit defeat." ”

In the second half of the sentence, he looked at Xue Rui and said, as if to imply that the person who admits defeat after the most Lu must be him.

Seeing that the matter came to this, Yu Shu frowned secretly, feeling that Xue Rui was in prison, if it was her, he would refuse if he didn't want to, after all, luck is the most unreliable, who knows who will fall into the hands of the poisonous wine.

"Do you pick first, or do I pick first?"

Yu Shu was stunned, turned his head to look at Xue Rui who spoke up, and couldn't believe that such a shrewd guy had accepted this stupid bet!

"Don't worry, didn't they each bring Yike, think about it first, and then choose it is not too late, after all, I came to gamble today, isn't it?" Liu Hao turned his head unhurriedly and said to Ji Xingxuan, who had been standing quietly behind him:

"Xuan'er, do you dare to help me choose three cups." Clear
