Chapter 234: Scheming
"Lord Chen, you see, my family is not strong enough to drink, so I'll drink this glass of wine!" Xue Bolian hurriedly picked up the wine glass in Xiao Zhuyu's hand and saluted Chen Yang.
"Hahaha~ I heard that Lord Xue and Mrs. Xue love and envy everyone, and when I see it today, it really makes Chen envious!" Chen Yang won't be bored here all the time.
Today, this lotus Yan is not here to pass the time, he Chen Yang does things, and has always pursued efficiency. Since Xue Bolian targeted him like this, he naturally wanted to return a big congratulatory gift.
Lord Chen smiled. Xiao Zhuyu owed a debt and sat down. She knew that there were so many pairs of eyes staring at her here, and this banquet was really not easy at all!
The imperial concubine is Chen Yang's aunt, and she seems to ignore the affairs of the court and politics on weekdays. But this woman is not easy to deal with at all. Even the current emperor will be a little tiptoeful in front of her.
"Aunt, my nephew knows that there is a particularly famous singer in the capital, and her dancing posture is good, and in a few days, my nephew will let my aunt appreciate it." With the help of these glasses of wine, Chen Yang began to pave the way here.
"Oh! That nephew really has a heart. Aunt is waiting! The imperial concubine looked very happy, behind this kindness, no one would have thought that she was also a person with a lot of means.
"Yes! Mother, in a few days it will be your birthday banquet, and the child will prepare it well for the mother. The emperor said with a smile.
"Good boy! All good boys. The imperial concubine said with satisfaction.
It was about half an hour of effort, and the princess and the emperor went back to the palace separately. Because this lotus Yan itself is a banquet for young people, after they have presided over some ceremonies, they will all return to the dormitory.
"The imperial concubine and the emperor are tired, today the palace will continue to preside over this lotus Yan, you all let go and enjoy it!" As soon as the queen's words fell, the people sitting here all left the table one after another to do what they had to do.
And Xiao Zhuyu finally breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that she had come over in vain today. Fortunately, the hard days were short-lived.
"Xianggong, let's go to the Lotus Garden! The scenery is so good, I want to go somewhere. Xiao Zhuyu wanted to avoid the crowd and find a place where there were not so many people to stay and enjoy her scenery.
"Good, good!" How could Xue Bolian not understand Xiao Zhuyu's careful thoughts! knew that she was really bored just now, and she hated the picture of those people deceiving each other and competing for favor.
The two of them came to this lotus garden, and the lotus flowers here bloomed very well. Xiao Zhuyu's mood immediately improved, and with the air here, it was really good. This is also very good for her physical recovery, there are so many good places in this palace, but it's a pity that the women here don't know how to enjoy it.
Soon, there were more people in this lotus court. Xiao Zhuyu didn't like it, but there was no way, this was not her territory, so naturally she couldn't say that she wouldn't let others in.
Xue Bolian has always been by Xiao Zhuyu's side, never leaving. But his handsome and chic appearance has attracted the favor of many girls today. Of course, Xiao Zhuyu is the same. It's just that this Lord Xue's official authority is so powerful, as long as he knows that Xiao Zhuyu is Lord Xue's wife, no matter how much he likes it in his heart, he doesn't dare to think about it.
"Miss, what's wrong with you?" Lord Lu's daughter Lu Manting is just nineteen this year and has not yet been married. I came here today to find a lover for myself.
There are indeed a lot of sons and daughters here, and there are many princes. However, Lu Manting didn't take a fancy to any of them, but she just fell in love with Xue Bolian.
No one can say for sure about this kind of thing, if you like it, you like it. No one can really control their emotions, so she decided that she would join the Xue Mansion.
"Miss, what the hell are you looking at?" Her personal maid really didn't know, her young lady, had been standing here for a long time, motionless, and didn't know what she was looking at.
"Don't bother me." Lu Manting looked at Xue Bolian stupidly, for fear of being discovered.
Her personal maid Jia'er followed the direction of her young lady's look, which was the direction of the lotus garden. There are quite a lot of people in the courtyard now, so I really don't know what her young lady is doing.
"Jia'er, you say, who is the one next to Lord Xue!" Lu Manting will finally speak. Because she found out. This Xue Bolian always protects a woman, and I really don't know who this woman is. It can't be his wife!
Lu Manting didn't dare to continue thinking about it, over the years, she basically ignored the outside world. It wasn't until recently that the imperial concubine intended to marry her to the fourth prince, and she began to plan for her happiness.
Because these four princes know how to eat, drink, prostitute and gamble on weekdays, no one wants to waste the rest of their lives like this. Therefore, Lu Manting told her father that if she really can't find someone she likes, then it will not be too late for her to marry again.
Jia'er looked left and right, and didn't know who her young lady was talking about. After all, how could these big names be known to her.
"Miss, do you mean the one in the gray robe?" Jia'er now needs to make sure that the person her young lady is talking about is what she sees.
"It's him." Lu Manting was obviously a little excited.
"Miss, the woman next to Lord Xue should be his wife! You see, the two of them look so loving! Jia'er looked over like this, and obviously found that this Lord Xue took good care of the woman next to her. Moreover, what would they be if they were not husband and wife?
"Nonsense! Why haven't I heard that Lord Xue has a marriage match. When Lu Manting heard this, she was not happy. In any case, she just wanted to attract Xue Bolian's attention, and the person she identified would not give up so easily.
Lu Manting and Jia'er came to this lotus garden, and she pretended that nothing had happened. Slowly walked to Xue Bolian and Xiao Zhuyu's side, she was always smiling, which attracted many princes next to her.
When she walked to Xue Bolian's side, Lu Manting pretended to twist it accidentally. happened to fall into Xue Bolian's arms, of course, Xue Bolian quickly helped Lu Manting up, and he hugged his wife.
"Thank you for your help, otherwise, the little girl will be afraid to make a fool of herself today." Lu Manting said slowly.
Xiao Zhuyu looked at it and thought in her heart. What's the matter, it's obvious that she came to rob her husband with her, and this scheming can't tolerate it.
"It's okay, it's okay! It's good that my sister didn't fall. ”
