……

Hearing Cui Qianxue and Su Xiuning's successive speeches, Zhao Junchen was slightly stunned, but he didn't refuse, just smiled and nodded: "If the two girls are willing to go together, I naturally can't ask for it." ”

On the other side, Chen Zhirong's eyebrows were slightly raised, and a gloomy color flashed in her bright eyes, and she felt more and more that Cui Qianxue and Su Xiuning's storage was very eye-catching.

However, it was just the next moment, the bright smile was already covered with Chen Zhirong's beautiful face, as if she was very happy, and said: "I am very close to Sister Su and Sister Cui, I just feel that I hate to see each other late, just now I was thinking about how to meet again in the future, and now Sister Su and Sister Cui want to go to Youfeng Pavilion together, naturally it is better, today in the palace banquet, after all, it is inconvenient, and I will meet again tomorrow, I have a lot of confidant words to say to Sister Su and Sister Cui." ”

Chen Zhirong pretended to be very good, Cui Qianxue didn't have any scheming, seeing Chen Zhirong's attitude so affectionate, although she was a little dissatisfied that Zhao Junchen and Chen Zhirong were too close, she still smiled and nodded at Chen Zhirong to express her kindness.

On the other hand, although Su Xiuning also had no experience in intrigue, she had seen Chen Zhirong force her father Su Changyi to have nothing to say in just a few words, knowing that Chen Zhirong was by no means as simple as she had appeared, and she was also quite jealous of Chen Zhirong in her heart, so she just nodded lightly in response at this time, and did not say more.

However, Chen Zhirong didn't care, just turned his eyes and confirmed to Zhao Junchen: "Since that's the case, then let's meet at Youfeng Pavilion at three o'clock tomorrow evening?" ”

Zhao Junchen shook his head and said apologetically: "Your Majesty's southern tour is approaching." In two days, it will be the palace exam, so this time is quite busy, and I'm afraid I'm still working in the household department tomorrow. Don't dare to let the three girls wait longer...... Well, I'll meet the three girls at the end of the day. ”

Hearing Zhao Junchen say this, Chen Zhirong was extremely intelligent, and immediately understood Zhao Junchen's hint - "I still met with the three girls at the moment of unitary time", the focus of this sentence is the prefix of "I and the three girls", which means that the meeting time between Zhao Junchen and Chen Zhirong is still three minutes of Shen Shi - and only meet in advance like this. Zhao Junchen and Chen Zhirong can talk deeply about some topics that are inconvenient to talk about in front of others.

So, Chen Zhi smiled and nodded: "Yiqiē naturally focuses on Lord Zhao's official duties. In this case, the four of us will meet at the moment of Shen Shi, Sister Su and Sister Cui, what do you two think? ”

Heard the decision of Zhao Junchen and Chen Zhirong. Su Xiuning and Cui Qianxue naturally had no objections. I just kept the agreed time in mind, so the matter was settled.

…………

The process of the palace banquets held by the royal family is roughly similar.

Next, it is nothing more than appreciating the singing and dancing palace music, and then Zhao Junchen and others took turns to toast to Emperor Deqing, and then Emperor Deqing said some high-sounding words, after all the processes were completed, the palace banquet was almost over.

During this period, the only thing worth mentioning was that Su Changyi, the governor of Nanzhili, was eager to sell his daughter to Zhao Junchen. When the palace banquet was about to end, he found an opportunity to let Su Xiuning play the piano in public and show his talents.

Su Changyi is quite confident in his daughter's piano skills. And Su Xiuning's piano skills are indeed excellent, like a natural sound, between the lingering sounds, even a layman like Zhao Junchen who does not understand the rhythm of music at all and only knows the calculation of interests, is also unconsciously indulged in the artistic conception of the piano sound shown by Su Xiuning, and cannot extricate himself for a long time.

The most important thing is that Su Xiuning is always introverted and supple, although her appearance is not inferior to others, but because of her temperament, it is always easier for people to focus on the glamorous and charming Chen Zhirong and the innocent and lively Cui Qianxue.

But when Su Xiuning was stroking the piano, she seemed to be a different person, her demeanor was elegant and confident, she was completely in the style of everyone, as if the whole person was shining, and with her wonderful and moving piano skills, her charm increased countless times, so that people could no longer take their eyes off her.

Especially those junior men from the two families who followed Chen You, the Duke of Jingguo, and Cui Mian, the old man of the former cabinet, to the palace for the banquet, they only knew that they looked at Su Xiuning stupidly at this time, and they couldn't tolerate anything else in their eyes for a while.

Even if Zhao Junchen is not very greedy for beauty, it is the same for a while.

And as Su Xiuning finished playing the qin, there was a roar of applause in the palace banquet for a while, and even Emperor Deqing stood up regardless of his identity, applauded and praised loudly over and over again.

In the praise of everyone, Su Xiuning once again regained his previous restraint and suppleness, without the slightest pride, but his cheeks were slightly red, with a little shyness, and he saluted and thanked everyone in the hall.

Seeing Su Xiuning like this, Emperor Deqing praised it even more, saying that Su Xiuning "is not only beautiful and outstanding, but also rare is that she has a good temperament, understands etiquette, knows how to advance and retreat, Su Aiqing gave birth to a good daughter!" But I don't know which man can be so blessed to marry Su Xiuning. ”

While speaking, Emperor Deqing glanced at Zhao Junchen intentionally or unintentionally, and the implication was quite obvious - obviously among the three daughters, Emperor Deqing preferred Su Xiuning to become Zhao Junchen's wife.

And as Emperor Deqing's words fell, the imperial concubine Wan also followed and praised Su Xiuning.

For this qiē, Zhao Junchen saw it in his eyes, but he remained silent, just smiled silently, and after Su Xiuning returned to his seat, he praised Su Xiuning's piano skills with everyone.

On the other side, seeing Su Xiuning stealing the limelight, and even getting direct praise from Zhao Junchen, Cui Qianxue was inexplicably a little unhappy, snorting coldly in the loudest voice, with a look of "I'm not happy" on her face - Speaking of which, Zhao Junchen praised Chen Zhirong, and now he also praised Su Xiuning, but in this palace banquet, he was the only one who did not praise Cui Qianxue, and it is no wonder that Cui Qianxue is unhappy.

At the same time, Chen Zhirong looked at Yi Qiē in her eyes, and after noticing Emperor Deqing's attitude and Zhao Junchen's expression, her beautiful eyes narrowed slightly, and when she looked at Su Xiuning again, a hint of danger flashed in her eyes.

…………

Finally, the palace banquet ended.

At the end of the palace feast. According to the custom, the Deqing Emperor would congratulate him, and the crowd would take the opportunity to compliment the Deqing Emperor for his wisdom and martial arts. It's just a fixed process, so you don't need to mention it.

But it was said that after the four families left the palace together, they said goodbye to each other and left.

At this time, Cui Mian, the old man of the former cabinet, was extremely dissatisfied with Cui Qianxue's appearance at the palace banquet, and only felt that Cui Qianxue took the initiative to approach a big corrupt official like Zhao Junchen, which really lost the face of the Cui family, so when he left with Cui Qianxue. His face was as cold as ice.

It is conceivable that tonight's Cui Mansion will inevitably be very lively.

And after Su Changyi said goodbye to Zhao Junchen and others. also took Su Xiuning away and walked to the sedan chair they were riding.

Between the steps, he had just left Zhao Junchen and the others a little farther away, and he had not yet waited to enter the sedan chair. Su Changyi couldn't wait to confirm to Su Xiuning: "Daughter." Today a qiē can also be shun lì? Then Zhao Junchen still values you? Did he hint at you anything? ”

Seeing Su Changyi so eager, looking like he was going to marry Su Xiuning to Zhao Junchen even if he was upside down, Su Xiuning should have been unhappy, but thinking of today's contact with Zhao Junchen, for some reason he was no longer disgusted, and just said: "He is easier to get along with than expected, so it is quite smooth, but he doesn't value it or doesn't value it." It's as if he treats everyone equally, and doesn't hint at anything. However, I have already made an appointment with him to meet again tomorrow evening at Youfeng Pavilion, but the young ladies of the Cui family and the Chen family will also come together. ”

Hearing Su Xiuning say this, Su Changyi shook his head again and again, and said: "Your appearance today is still too restrained, not as active as the other two girls, but meeting again tomorrow is also an opportunity, you have to show yourself well, so let's do it, after meeting Zhao Junchen tomorrow, what should I say and how to do it, and when I return home, my father will teach you in detail, and tomorrow you will do what your father taught you!" With your appearance and temperament, as long as you put a little effort into it, there is no man in this world ......"

Speaking of this, Su Changyi suddenly thought of Chen Zhirong's beauty and charm, and the words in his mouth were suddenly interrupted, and then added: "What's more, now that Zhao Junchen is constantly expanding his power in the court, Daddy has been operating in the local area for many years, and the influence of his connections is of great use to him, when we meet tomorrow, you can also start from this point!" ”

Looking at Su Changjing's gains and losses, Su Xiuning was silent.

At the same time, Chen You and Chen Zhirong also walked towards their own sedan chair procession together.

There weren't many words along the way, but when he was about to get on the sedan chair, Chen Zhirong suddenly smiled and said to Chen You: "Father, looking at the scene at today's palace banquet, it seems that His Majesty is more interested in Su Xiuning becoming Zhao Junchen's wife, coupled with the influence of Su Changyi's own power, it seems that if we want to marry Zhao Junchen, then the Su family is the main opponent." ”

Chen You raised his eyes to look at Chen Zhirong and asked slowly, "What do you want to do?" ”

In a tone like an order, Chen Zhirong said: "After returning home, I also ask my father to send all the information of the Su family, as well as the charges of impeachment of the Su family in the imperial history of the DPRK and China these days, and also find a way to find out the details, although I have some plans, but I also have to arrange them first...... Also, although the Cui family is not as competitive as the Su family, Cui Qianxue has some meaning to Zhao Junchen, in order to avoid variables, let them leave early, so I want to ask my father to publicize the fact that Cui Qianxue took the initiative to approach Zhao Junchen at today's palace banquet, so that Cui Mian will inevitably attract the opinions of the Qinglius, with Cui Mian's temperament, it is conceivable what he will do next. ”

said, without waiting for Chen You to agree, Chen Zhirong had already entered the sedan chair first.

Looking at Chen Zhirong's appearance, the corners of Chen You's eyes couldn't help jumping, and a trace of anger flashed in his eyes, but after a moment of silence, Chen You finally said: "As long as you can complete the task, Yiqiē will naturally depend on you!" ”

After speaking, Chen You snorted coldly and walked towards his sedan chair.

As the Cui family, the Su family, and the Chen family left one after another, Zhao Junchen also looked thoughtful and came to the sedan chair he was riding.

There, Xu Qingyan had been waiting for a long time.
