……

At this time, Su Changyi, the governor of Nanzhili, and Chen You, the duke of Jingguo, had already brought their respective wives and daughters to the Donghua Gate outside the palace to wait.

Chen You, the Duke of Jingguo, is a noble in the capital, and Su Changyi is a local feudal official, the two do not have much common language, and they have no idea of continuing to talk deeply at this time, so after meeting, they just casually politely said a few words, and returned to their respective families.

And Chen Zhirong, the youngest daughter of Chen You, the Duke of Jingguo, and Su Xiuning, the eldest daughter of Su Changyi, the governor of Nanzhili, the real protagonists of these two palace banquets, have been sitting in the sedan chair and have not shown up from beginning to end.

…………

However, it is said that Su Changyi, the governor of Nanzhili, is now sixty-five years old, and he is about to reach the age of Zhishi, but he is well maintained, there are not too many wrinkles, his face is clear, his temperament is elegant, and the white beard of his temples and jaw is also carefully cared for, which looks clean and tidy.

In short, this is an old man who is easy to make people feel good.

But people can't look good, although Su Changzhen seems to be sanctimonious, but he is an out-and-out corrupt official, his greedy nature and boldness, even among the countless corrupt officials in the Manchu Dynasty, there are few people!

Therefore, Su Changyi's bad reputation among the government and the opposition is not much different from Zhao Junchen.

Returning to his own team, Su Changzhen hesitated slightly, and suddenly a trace of unease flashed in his expression, and he came to his daughter Su Xiuning's sedan chair again.

"Daughter, I have wronged you...... Su Changyi sighed with guilt: "But Daddy's current predicament has already been told to you." Now only in this way can our Su family be safe. Otherwise, not only Daddy, but even your brothers and nephews will also be implicated, so Daddy can only let you suffer some grievances, you, you don't blame Daddy......"

After hearing Su Changyi's words, Su Xiuning sat in the sedan chair, but was silent. There was no answer for a long time.

Seeing Su Xiuning's silence, Su Changyi's expression became more and more guilty, and he wanted to say something more, but after his lips moved slightly, he just let out a long sigh.

…………

There has never been a completely wicked person in this world, although Su Changyi is a corrupt official, but for Su Xiuning. But he is a loving father!

Although Su Changning has many sons, there is only one daughter like Su Xiuning, and she is an old woman, coupled with Su Xiuning's gentle and filial piety, she has won Su Changning's favor, so over the years. Su Changyi can be said to have spoiled Su Xiuning very much, and regarded her as the pearl of his palm.

Like all fathers in the world who love their daughters, Su Changyi has long considered his daughter's marriage.

According to Su Changyi's original vision, Su Xiuning's future husband. It should be a handsome and talented man with a good demeanor, he can come from a humble and poor background - anyway, Su Changyi will never be stingy with dowry at that time - but he must be born innocent, know etiquette and etiquette, have a generous temperament, and be emotionally single-minded. In short, he must be the kind of husband who loves his wife and will never let his daughter suffer any grievances.

It's a pity that this is just Su Changyi's original idea, and the word "envision" is often changed lightly because of reality.

A month ago, Su Changyi suddenly received a decree from Emperor Deqing, asking him to return to Beijing with his wife and daughter to report on his work.

However, after Su Changyi returned to Beijing, although he was soon summoned by Emperor Deqing, after seeing Su Changyi, Emperor Deqing did not talk about government affairs, but just said some short gossip in the parents, and constantly hinted at Su Changyi, saying, "Zhao Junchen, the head of the household, is a member of the imperial court, and it is really inappropriate to be single so far, I heard that Su Aiqing You have a daughter, named Su Xiuning, who is virtuous and virtuous, and now she is at the right age, and she has not yet decided to marry.

Regarding Emperor Deqing's hints, Su Changzhen naturally understood.

However, although Su Changzhen is a corrupt official, he never wants his daughter to marry another corrupt official, even if Emperor Deqing personally speaks for the matchmaker, even if the other party is Zhao Junchen, who is powerful and in the limelight! - Su Changyi knows very well the cold nature of corrupt officials, and he thinks that this kind of person is definitely not worthy of his daughter!

Therefore, Su Changyi politely rejected Emperor Deqing.

It's a pity that Emperor Deqing's request can be politely rejected by Su Changyi?

After Su Changzhen politely rejected Emperor Deqing's hint, Emperor Deqing, who was originally pleasant, suddenly changed his complexion.

Then, a thick stack of impeachment excerpts, about fourteen or fifteen copies, were thrown in front of Su Changzhen like this, all of which were impeached by the imperial historians for Su Changzhen's deception and corruption and bribery!

Some of them impeached the excerpts, not only impeaching Su Changzhen himself, but also impeaching several of Su Changzhen's sons for committing crimes in the local area, oppressing the people, and robbing the people's daughters!

The crime is very big, and the evidence is conclusive, and Su Changyi can't be allowed to quibble!

Emperor Deqing didn't say much next, but his attitude was very clear, if Su Changzhen didn't agree to his hints, then these charges would break out in the court!

At that time, not only Su Changyi himself, but even Su Changyi's sons will not end well! Even Su Xiuning, who was originally innocent, will be implicated!

Therefore, Su Changzhen could only agree to Emperor Deqing's request and let Emperor Deqing arrange the marriage between Su Xiuning and Zhao Junchen!

…………

However, for Su Changyi, although he escaped for the time being, things are far from being so simple.

Zhao Junchen is a second-class member of the court, one of the few powerful ministers in the temple, for Zhao Junchen's marriage, even Emperor Deqing can't completely make the decision, but also depends on Zhao Junchen's attitude and choice!

In fact, being able to divide the range of choices for Zhao Junchen to marry is already the limit of Emperor Deqing's ability.

And Su Changyi's daughter Su Xiuning is just one of Zhao Junchen's choices.

In addition to Su Xiuning, there are also Cui Qianxue, the granddaughter of the former cabinet elder Cui Mian, and Chen Zhirong, the second daughter of Chen You, the Duke of Jingguo! These two women, regardless of their background or appearance, are not under Su Xiuning!

And so it goes. Su Changyi was naturally very nervous!

Su Changyi knew very well that if Emperor Deqing wanted to investigate him. It can be at any time, but only because his daughter Su Xiuning is one of Zhao Junchen's future wife candidates, Emperor Deqing let him go for the time being!

However, if Zhao Junchen finally chose other women, it is difficult to say whether Emperor Deqing will continue to pretend to be deaf and dumb.

Perhaps, at that time, Emperor Deqing will think that Su Changyi has no use value. At that time, the grievances of the common people were represented, and the court was able to rule steadily, and all the family property that Su Changzhen had been greedy for decades was also confiscated, which was completely beneficial and harmless to Emperor Deqing.

In fact, in the style of Emperor Deqing. This kind of thing is very likely to happen!

In the face of such a threat, marrying his daughter Su Xiuning to Zhao Junchen has been the only lifeline for Su Changyi.

As a result, for the marriage between his daughter Su Xiuning and Zhao Junchen, Su Changzhen has changed from the reluctance at the beginning to the urgent need now!

In the face of the harsh reality. The original insistence is too fragile!

…………

Standing beside Su Xiuning's sedan chair, thinking about all the things that have happened these days, although Su Changyi was full of guilt in his heart, he still said with a little pleading: "Daughter." It's Daddy who is sorry for you, but we're a family. In the future, whether it is dead or alive, honor or disgrace, it all depends on you, the palace banquet is about to start, and Zhao Junchen is about to appear, you must behave well next, don't make a small character, and Daddy will also do his best to fight for you The opportunity, with your appearance, as long as you can put down the shelf, and fight a little, it will definitely be captured, and at that time, our Su family will be able to survive......"

However, although Su Changyi said pitifully, Su Xiuning in the sedan chair still did not answer.

Su Changyi's expression became more and more pleading and guilty, and even with a little bit of pain, he continued: "Daughter, Daddy also knows that you don't want to marry Zhao Junchen, let you flatter and flatter, deliberately cater to Zhao Junchen, it's really embarrassing for you, this qiē is Daddy's fault, Daddy also understands, you look down on Daddy now, and even have some resentment towards Daddy, Daddy doesn't dare to beg you for forgiveness, but you don't think about Daddy, don't think about a few brothers, at least you should think about your little nephews!" You've always liked them the most, but they're innocent, so how can you implicate them? Daughter, you ......."

Halfway through Su Changyi's words, in the sedan chair, Su Xiuning finally spoke.

There was some coldness in his voice, and there seemed to be a slight trembling, but it was still gentle and beautiful.

"Daddy, since my daughter came to the palace with you for a banquet, I have already promised you, and I will not make a petty child, and I will focus on the family...... But Daddy, why do you have to confirm and remind you again and again? Daddy, do you know that such repeated confirmations and reminders will only violate the last trace of dignity of your daughter? …… So, Daddy, please don't say any more......"

Listening to his daughter's cold and trembling voice, Su Changyan's face was gray, and he couldn't help but feel complicated, and he didn't know whether he was relaxed or sad.

…………

Su Xiuning didn't know Su Changyi's expression changes and complicated thoughts at this time, she just sat in the sedan chair, stunned, her eyes were slightly moist, and she seemed to be crying at any time, and her delicate face looked more and more beautiful because of this.

But Su Xiuning pursed her lips vigorously and forcibly prevented herself from crying.

This has nothing to do with the word "strong", in fact, in recent days, Su Xiuning has secretly cried several times without telling her family.

It's just that if she cries at this time, the tears will destroy her makeup, and her face will be spent, and Su Xiuning will not be able to show her most beautiful side in front of Zhao Junchen, so she will not be able to "sell" herself to Zhao Junchen, and she will not be able to save the Su family!

Selling herself is like a cheap commodity that no one wants to want, like a lowly and humble Qinglou woman, but this is what Su Xiuning must do next.

In the past few days, Su Xiuning's world has been completely turned upside down.

From childhood to adulthood, Su Xiuning grew up in the care and pampering of her family, carefree, never encountered any ups and downs and tribulations, and did not even encounter many unpleasant things, it was completely a poetic life, and this qiē, in Su Xiuning's opinion, was all brought to her by her father Su Changjing.

In Su Xiuning's eyes, his father was wise, charitable, and even great. In this world, there is nothing that my father can't solve. She even fantasized that her future husband must have the shadow of her father.

However, a few days ago, when Su Changyi confessed the truth to her, Su Xiuning finally knew the truth of the matter!

It turned out that his father, who had always been respected and worshiped by him, turned out to be a notorious corrupt official! Now. All crimes are on the verge of being exposed, and only by marrying yourself to another big corrupt official can you ensure the safety of your family!

This is not a big blow to Su Xiuning!

The more beautiful the original illusion is, the more cruel the reality will be when the illusion is shattered!

From that moment on, Su Xiuning's world was completely turned upside down.

Girlish feelings are always poetry. Su Xiuning is now at the age of Sichun, and she often fantasizes about what kind of person her future husband is, naturally, a big corrupt official like Zhao Junchen is by no means in Su Xiuning's choice, a girl of Su Xiuning's age. will only hope that his husband is a hero or a talent, and these have nothing to do with Zhao Junchen.

But now, the dream has fallen into reality, and Su Xiuning must find ways to "upside down" Zhao Junchen, the pain and helplessness. It is by no means understandable to outsiders.

However, it is different from Cui Qianxue. Su Xiuning doesn't care what other people think, but she values her family very much, even if it is the notorious corrupt official father!

Therefore, after crying, sadness, and gloom, after reorganizing her mood, Su Xiuning still chose to take her "responsibility".

Some things, right or wrong, always have to be done.

A slightly desolate smile flashed on Su Xiuning's delicate face, and then she gathered all the complicated thoughts in her heart, slowly closed her eyes, and quietly waited for Zhao Junchen to appear.

As the palace banquet approached, she couldn't care about self-pity and self-pity.

What kind of person is Zhao Junchen? Su Xiuning didn't understand, only knew that he was a corrupt official who was more powerful and infamous than his father Su Changyi!

How should I please Zhao Junchen? Su Xiuning didn't know, she didn't have any experience in this area, she only knew that she had to do everything she could to achieve her goals, even if she had to practice herself!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

And at the same time that Su Xiuning was secretly sad, on the other side of Donghua Gate, Chen You, the Duke of Jingguo, also returned to his own team.

Chen You is now in the prime of life, his figure is much taller than ordinary people, his face is not ugly, handsome, ordinary, but a pair of deep Danfeng eyes will always inadvertently flash a compelling light.

Like Su Changyi, Chen You also came to his daughter Chen Zhirong's sedan chair, intending to tell something.

After pondering for a moment, Chen You asked slowly: "The palace banquet is about to start, and Zhao Junchen is about to appear, are you ready?" ”

In the voice, there is not much emotion, but most of the elements of command.

In the sedan chair, Chen Zhirong's voice came out, and the person did not show up, but the charm in the voice seemed to be natural, which made people itch unconsciously: "Father can rest assured, his daughter has already been prepared, but ...... For some of Zhao Junchen's expressions today, the daughter felt a little strange in her heart, and asked her father to solve her daughter's doubts. ”

Chen You frowned, and a trace of vigilance flashed in his expression for his daughter Chen Zhirong's inquiry, but he still asked rhetorically: "Say, what is it that makes you puzzled?" ”

It seems that there was a chuckle in the sedan chair, and then Chen Zhirong asked: "Father, according to all the information we have gathered, Zhao Junchen was originally a greedy and unrestrained person, but in recent years, his personality has suddenly changed greatly, not only learned to forbear and the city, but also scheming and means are not the same, so that between the party struggle between the DPRK and China, he can win many battles, and now he has become a powerful minister in the temple second only to Fu Zhou Shangjing." ”

Chen You nodded and said, "Well, according to all aspects of intelligence, this is indeed the case. ”

Chen Zhirong said: "It is precisely because of this that my daughter feels strange, since Zhao Junchen's temperament has changed, not only is the city government deep, but he has also learned to be low-key, no matter who he is, he is humble and polite...... However, today's palace banquet, everyone knows that it was deliberately held for him. According to the heart he has always expressed, he should have appeared outside the palace at the earliest. Why is it that now we and Su Changyi, the governor of Nanzhili, have arrived, but he still hasn't shown up for a long time? Wouldn't it be rude to make us wait like this? And this kind of thing should never happen to Zhao Junchen. ”

Hearing Chen Zhirong's analysis, Chen You also felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't figure it out for a while, with a reluctant expression, Chen You asked Chen Zhirong, "Then what do you think?" ”

Chen Zhirong was silent for a moment. seemed to be thinking about it seriously, and then replied: "According to my daughter, Zhao Junchen's belated arrival this time is probably deliberate, deliberately giving us a chance to express our dissatisfaction, and taking this opportunity to examine our attitude towards him." ”

"Examine our attitude towards him?" Chen You frowned and thought.

"yes." Chen Zhirong smiled lightly and replied, "With Zhao Junchen's status today. For the choice of marriage, it is not only about the appearance of the other party's woman, but also about how much help the other party's family can bring to him! And this kind of help should not only consider the power of the family itself, but also consider whether the family is willing to support him with all its might! ”

After a pause, Chen Zhirong continued: "So. He deliberately belatedly came this time, just to give us an excuse and reason to express our dissatisfaction, if we don't expect to marry him, we will inevitably take the opportunity to express our dissatisfaction, so on. Even if they marry in the future, it will not help him much. It can't be regarded as a reliance, so between the trade-offs, Zhao Junchen will inevitably consider it. ”

"I see." Chen You nodded thoughtfully.

"Therefore, when Zhao Junchen appears, father, you'd better be enthusiastic, and you must not show dissatisfaction because of Zhao Junchen's belatedness, although our family is a generational nobleman, but the power is not strong, and there is not much help that can be provided to Zhao Junchen, so what we can show now is only the attitude of being willing to fully support him."

Chen You knows that he has always been solemn and unrestrained, and in this case, it is very easy for people to misunderstand.

Therefore, Chen Zhirong's words, although they were nominally asking Chen You for advice and doubts, were actually taking the opportunity to mention Chen You!

In this regard, Chen You's expression couldn't help but flash a trace of complexity.

Chen Zhirong is so smart that sometimes it even makes Chen You, a father, jealous!

However, in many cases, Chen You also needs to rely on Chen Zhirong's intelligence, although this will reduce his dignity and prestige as a father.

Like now.

…………

Like Su Changyi, the governor of Nanzhili, Chen You, the Duke of Jingguo, now wants to marry Zhao Junchen!

Su Changyi has such a mind in order to avoid crime, and Chen You has such a mind because this is the meaning of the Seventh Prince Zhu Hejian!

Zhu Hejian's desire to covet the throne is now known to only a few people, but Chen You, as Zhu Hejian's father-in-law, is one of them, and has always spared no effort to support him!

Without him, Chen You is a very ambitious person, but the Ming Dynasty's various rules and restrictions on the nobles always make him unable to realize his ambitions!

Now, although Chen You has inherited the title of Duke of Jingguo, but that's all, if the nobles in the court do not hold real positions and have no real power in their hands, they are only slightly more noble than ordinary people, but no one will really pay attention to your attitude!

Chen You doesn't want to be just a duke with no real power, he wants to be a powerful and important minister of the court!

It's a pity that Emperor Deqing doesn't attach importance to him, let alone reuse him, so his ambitions are completely unrealizable.

Therefore, Chen You can only support the Seventh Prince Zhu Hejian through guò to realize his ambitions!

In fact, although Chen You is Zhu Hejian's father-in-law, the more he understands Zhu Hejian, the more Chen You admires Zhu Hejian, and has always believed that Zhu Hejian will be able to inherit the throne, and he will be able to realize his ambition through this!

Now, Zhu Hejian needs to deepen his relationship with Zhao Junchen and give relevant instructions to Chen You, and Chen You will do his best to complete this task.

Therefore, although Chen You didn't like to be pointed out by his daughter, he still nodded and said: "Understood, when Zhao Junchen appears, I will try my best to show enthusiasm, you don't have to worry about this." ”

"Not only to show our enthusiasm, but also to show our value to him." Chen Zhirong seemed to understand Chen You's complicated thoughts. But he completely ignored this, and just continued to mention: "Although we are not powerful in the court. But after all, it is a generation of nobles, and there are still some connections, after meeting Zhao Junchen, father, you have to show this vaguely, otherwise no matter how enthusiastic we are, Zhao Junchen is afraid that he will still disdain us. ”

"Got it." Chen You frowned slightly.

Regarding Chen Zhirong's constant reminders to himself, Chen You was a little impatient.

In the sedan chair, another chuckle came. Chen Zhirong said again: "This time, because of His Majesty, the only ones competing with us are the Su family of Su Changyi, the governor of Nanzhili, and the Cui family of the old Cui Mian of the former cabinet, among which the old Cui Mian of the former cabinet has always cherished his life, and now he is married to someone like Zhao Junchen. He must be reluctant, let alone take the initiative to fight for it, so we can ignore it, but for Su Changyi, we must pay attention to it. ”

"Why?" Still a little reluctant, Chen You continued to ask.

"I heard that this Su Changzhen has always loved his daughter the most. How can he be willing to marry his daughter to a corrupt official like Zhao Junchen? He must have been forced to do this, but since he was forced to do so, he would definitely try his best to fight for it, but Su Changzhen has been running the local area for many years. The help he can provide to Zhao Junchen is by no means comparable to ours. However, Su Changchen's reputation is very bad, and Zhao Junchen's idea of wanting to improve his reputation now is also obvious, so we still have a chance, of course, father, you also need to remind Zhao Junchen about this matter. ”

Chen You nodded and said, "Understood." ”

Speaking of this, it seemed that he was a little unwilling to be guided by his daughter all the time, Chen You suddenly spoke: "However, these smart and shrewd people of yours, it is best not to show Xiàn in front of Zhao Junchen, a woman who is too shrewd will only alienate and scruples." ”

Chen Zhirong smiled lightly again, her voice was like a silver bell, but she said: "This is not necessarily, as far as my daughter knows, although Zhao Junchen has always been single, there is a concubine in the house, known as 'Mrs. Ruyi', who has always been the most known for her shrewdness and ability, and is also the most favored by Zhao Junchen, perhaps, Zhao Junchen is more tolerant, so he will prefer this type of woman?" ”

Chen Zhirong's words seemed to imply that he was not tolerant, and a trace of anger flashed on Chen You's face!

But then, as if thinking about something, Chen You finally just snorted coldly and didn't say anything more.

However, Chen Zhirong continued: "What's more, if we want to marry Zhao Junchen, the chips are a little insufficient after all, although we have His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince behind us, but for His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince, Zhao Junchen's current attitude is still unclear whether it is prevention or closeness...... In addition, the only thing we can show off is the title of 'Jing Guogong', but now the down-and-out is not as noble as a chicken, although our family has not yet fallen, but there is no real power in our hands, in the eyes of Zhao Junchen, it may not be much more noble than chickens and ducks. Therefore, if my daughter is more shrewd, she can also add some bargaining chips for us, after all, the help Zhao Junchen needs is not necessarily just power, and intelligence is also a resource for him. ”

After being silent again for a long time, Chen You said slowly: "You are a little presumptuous...... Zhang Yuer! ”

With Chen You's words, there was also silence in the sedan chair for a moment, and then Chen Zhirong chuckled and said: "It's the daughter who is presumptuous, and I hope that your father will not be surprised." ”

…………

Chen You called Chen Zhirong "Zhang Yuer", which was not a slip of the tongue, in fact, this is Chen Zhirong's original name.

Chen Zhirong is not Chen You's biological daughter.

Her real name is Zhang Yuer, who her parents are and where her family lives, no one knows for a long time, but when she just remembers, she was sold to Jingguo Gong's house as a maid.

In the early days, Chen Zhirong was very hard, a mere maid, no one would pity her because of her young age, dirty work and tiring work still had to be done, if something was wrong, the stewards of the Jingguo Mansion were beaten and scolded.

However, in less than two years, although Chen Zhirong is not yet an adult, she is getting more and more beautiful, although she is still young, anyone can see that she will inevitably be beautiful in the future!

Then, Chen You showed her up and soon decided to take her in as his daughter.

is not a goddaughter, but a real daughter - although Chen You is the Duke of Jingguo, he has no real power after all, if one of his concubines gave birth to a daughter in the early years, and now this daughter suddenly appears, even if this kind of thing is a little abrupt, but not too many people will care.

And Chen You's intention to take Chen Zhirong as his daughter. It is also obvious - to have a beautiful daughter, in the future when she is married. It's also a rare resource.

Chen You's decision may have been just a whim, but Chen Zhirong's life has undergone earth-shaking changes because of this!

She originally had to do rough work every day, but suddenly became well-dressed and well-fed, and she originally needed to serve people, but she suddenly began to be served, and the housekeepers who were originally beaten and scolded her. also suddenly changed his attitude and became respectful to her.

The young Chen Zhirong also initially understood the life changes brought about by the promotion of status, and left a deep impression.

Then, Chen You unmistakably told Chen Zhirong that a person's status stems from his use value. The higher the use value, the higher the status, and the reason why Chen Zhirong suddenly has a higher status is because Chen You has more use value for her, that's all! ――For these words, Chen Zhirong thinks that she will never forget it!

Maybe it's because of this experience. Or maybe it's because her nature is like this, in short, Chen Zhirong's original innocent and immature heart soon changed.

When other girls were still at an ignorant age, Chen Zhirong already knew. The reason why she is valued by Chen You is because she has a beauty that others don't have. Therefore, Chen Zhirong has always paid attention to her appearance, always showed her most beautiful side, and always cultivated her manners, skills and temperament.

However, when one of Chen You's concubines was ruthlessly abandoned by Chen You because of old age and decay, Chen Zhirong's beauty will depreciate with time, if she wants to ensure her status, in addition to beauty, she also needs to show other aspects of use value!

As a result, Chen Zhirong began to deliberately show her shrewdness, intelligence, and good calculation! - She was just a chess piece cultivated by Chen You, and in addition to her beauty, these are the only values she can show.

Then, what even Chen Zhirong herself didn't expect was that she was quite talented in this area, and soon received further attention from Chen You, and Chen Zhirong's status in the Jingguo Mansion was further improved because of this, and even Chen You's biological daughter.

When Chen You began to hand over some confidential affairs to Chen Zhirong to deal with, Chen Zhirong's talent in this area was completely displayed!

Sometimes, her various expressions even make Chen You feel jealous, although Chen Zhirong was created by Chen You himself!

In fact, Chen You's jealousy of Chen Zhirong is not untargeted, and now Chen Zhirong has gradually lost control.

Especially after Chen You was instructed by the Seventh Prince Zhu Hejian to marry Chen Zhirong to Zhao Junchen, Chen Zhirong's attitude towards Chen You was not as respectful as it was at the beginning!

Chen You was annoyed by Chen Zhirong's change of attitude, but Chen Zhirong herself took it for granted!

Chen You is using Chen Zhirong, and Chen Zhirong has been using Chen You!

Because she has been instilled with such values since she was a child, Chen Zhirong feels that this is a matter of course.

"A person's status stems from his use value", this sentence was taught to Chen Zhirong by Chen You, and Chen Zhirong has always been a creed!

Now, Chen You can no longer bring Chen Zhirong more things, but has gradually restrained and feared Chen Zhirong, which means that Chen You has no more use value in Chen Zhirong's eyes!

And Chen Zhirong's use value of Chen You is far from being fully reflected!

Therefore, Chen Zhirong will no longer be as respectful to Chen You as before!

…………

And as Chen Zhirong reaches marriageable age, in Chen Zhirong's eyes, the next person who can reflect her use value, and the next person who can be used by her, is her future husband!

And Zhao Junchen is the most suitable candidate for her future husband.

Because Zhao Junchen is powerful enough, he can bring more things to her; Because Zhao Junchen doesn't seem to reject a shrewd woman like her, she can get enough room to show; Because Zhao Junchen is not a good official, it is also consistent with the values she has cultivated since childhood.

As for whether Zhao Junchen will choose himself in the end, Chen Zhirong is also full of confidence.

Even if he doesn't talk about his appearance, Chen Zhirong now holds many things that Zhao Junchen is interested in.

For example, some information about the Seventh Prince, Zhu Hejian.

Chen Zhirong believes that Zhao Junchen will be interested in this.

And she didn't mind betraying the Seventh Prince Zhu Hejian. Even if it will involve the Chen family of Jingguo Gong because of this!

A person's utilization value determines a person's status. If the subject is replaced with "a family", it also makes sense.

Thinking of this, in the sedan chair, Chen Zhirong, who had a delicate face, suddenly smiled, and instantly seemed to be a hundred flowers blooming!

For Zhao Junchen's appearance, she can't wait!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

And just between everyone's different thoughts, the official road outside Donghua Gate is far away. Zhao Junchen's sedan chair finally appeared.

As Chen Zhirong speculated, Zhao Junchen deliberately came late this time, which also meant to test the attitudes of each family.

But Zhao Junchen's temptation failed to materialize in the end.

Aside from the old Cui Mian's family who have not yet appeared, when Zhao Junchen appeared, whether it was Su Changyi, the governor of Nanzhili, or Chen You, the prince of Jingguo. All were unexpectedly eager.

When Zhao Junchen got off the sedan chair, Su Changzhen and Chen You both greeted each other quickly, not only Su Changzhen's face was full of deliberately flattering smiles, but even Chen You, who had always been unrestrained and smiling, was facing Zhao Junchen. even squeezed out a smile.

To be honest, in Zhao Junchen's opinion, the reason why Su Changyi and Chen You agreed to this palace banquet must have been under pressure from all sides, and it was by no means out of willingness.

So. Now not only is he not disliked, but he is still so popular. Zhao Junchen was actually a little flattered.

It's just that although the "flattered" in my heart is just a trace, when the table is on my face, it is full of ten.

In the face of Su Changyi and Chen You's greeting, after Zhao Junchen got off the sedan chair, he bowed again and again, and apologized: "I'm really sorry, I'm really sorry, I let the two seniors wait here with their families for a long time, it is really rude for the juniors, in fact, the juniors should have come a long time ago, but they were just about to leave the house and received an urgent letter from the household department, so they delayed a lot of time, and I hope the two seniors will not be surprised." ”

"No blame, no blame! And what is there to blame for this. Su Changyi waved his hand again and again and said: "I also know that Zhao Shangshu has a heavy responsibility and a lot of court affairs, not only in charge of the household department of the imperial court and the internal affairs of His Majesty, but also in charge of the Xichang Yamen of the inner court. It's normal to be a little late now. ”

Chen You also nodded and said: "Zhao Shangshu is really serious, the palace banquet will not start in half an hour, Zhao Shangshu is not late, it's just that Governor Su and I came too early." ”

Zhao Junchen said with a smile: "Both of them are my seniors, and now it is not a formal occasion, so it is good to call me 'Junchen', such as 'Zhao Shangshu' and 'Lord Zhao'. ”

While talking, Zhao Junchen, Chen You, and Su Changyi walked together, and they had already come to Donghua Gate.

As Zhao Junchen gradually approached, on the left and right sides of Donghua Gate, the sedan chairs of Chen Zhirong and Su Xiuning, almost at the same time, the sedan curtains were lifted a small crack.

Then, two pairs of wonderful eyes looked at Zhao Junchen like this.

In the gaze, the emotions contained in the eyes are either complex or meaningful.

At the same time, at the official road in the distance, a team of sedan chairs appeared, but it was Cui Mian, the old man of the front cabinet, who hurried along the way after finding Cui Qianxue, and finally arrived outside the palace between Zhao Junchen and Zhao Junchen.

In this way, all the protagonists of this palace banquet are finally all here!

ps: During this time, the insects will not be broken at all, and they will always not finish a chapter, and there will be several tens of thousands of words in a row.

The 10,000-word chapter is slow to write, and it is more time-consuming and tiring to read, which is a completely thankless task.

But there is no way, the chapters must always be complete, and if it is only updated for the sake of updating, I am afraid that I can only write some assembly line text.

This chapter is still a big chapter of 10,000 words, but Bug will try to update only three or five thousand words of ordinary chapters in the future.
