Chapter Eighty-Four: The Feast
For Su Hexiang, the next day's banquet was her most important turning point, and if she could cling to a certain son-in-law, her current situation would be greatly improved.
On this day, the always unpopular Blueland ushered in its most historic day.
From the completion of the fairlight garden to the present, everyone has only heard of this place. When receiving King Mu's invitation, everyone's most wanted reaction was to be stunned, and then they showed joy.
Being invited by King Mu is an honor for all officials. Although King Mu has no real power, everyone knows that he is deeply loved by the saints today. On weekdays, no one comes forward to cling, but I feel that I will not be rewarded for what I have paid.
Instead of sticking a hot face to a cold ass, it is better to stand still and look for a breakthrough.
In the list of banquets, Cangshu invited all the princes and royal brothers, but in the end, there were only a few princes of the same age as him and the royal brothers who played the best with him. Others who were unable to attend the ceremony were given gifts by the housekeeper of the house or their own sons. None of the officials dared not come, but it didn't make Cangshu feel that he had lost face.
The banquet is set in Qianqing Garden, where the place is large and the scenery is beautiful, and more importantly, it will not look stuffy when there are many people.
Cangshu was chatting in the group of big men, while Bai Ying and Su Hexiang were sitting in the attic not far away, not watching the situation below.
At this time, Bai Ying was still able to sit still, not nervous because there were too many people present, but quietly listened to Banxia introduce the people below.
There are many people below who are known to her, after all, Zuixianglou is the first restaurant in the capital, and the guests there are different from ordinary people, although she has no direct contact, she can also see and hear others talk from time to time.
The only people she didn't know were those members of the royal family, except for Li Yuanzhi, of course.
Li Yuanzhi came with King Jing, and at this time he was talking with his uncle and uncle with ease, and his spirit had the appearance of King Jing.
Although he seemed to be chatting, he looked up the attic from time to time, his movements were very subtle and the scene was too noisy, and no one noticed his small movements.
At this time, Bai Ying was looking at the audience and didn't notice Li Yuanzhi's movements, but Su Hexiang, who was sitting next to her, did.
From the very beginning, Su Hexiang couldn't help but want to run down, if it weren't for the order of the Thirteenth Master, she probably wouldn't have been sitting here a long time ago. Now that she saw that someone had noticed her, she swept away the displeasure in her heart.
Whenever Li Yuanzhi's eyes came up, she always raised the smile she thought was the best, and stared at Li Yuanzhi with both eyes.
She didn't know who that person was, thinking that Yinping had been living in Xu Mansion all the time, and she might know something.
After thinking about it, she stood up and asked Bai Ying affectionately, "Sister, I'm going to pour tea, do you want a cup to quench your thirst?" β
Faced with her sudden overture, Bai Ying's brows couldn't help frowning, and finally just shook her head, "No need, just yourself." After saying this, she turned her head and continued to ask Banxia questions.
Su Hexiang smiled and nodded, and finally motioned for Yinping to go down with her.
Seeing Su Hexiang's figure disappear into the stairwell, her eyes became cold, she looked at Basil who was waiting on the side, and said, "Looking at Su Hexiang, this person has always been unscrupulous, if something happens later, it will not have a good impact on Uncle Thirteen." β
"My subordinates understand."
Basil clenched his sword into a fist, his voice was sonorous, and then he turned to leave.
Banxia, who had been paying some attention to Basil recently, quickly realized Basil's self-proclaimed name to Bai Ying, stared at Basil's departure direction with wide eyes, and said in surprise: "Miss, did you hear that?" Luo Mutou actually claims to be a subordinate to you? Does he treat you as his master? β
Bai Ying, who was naturally aware of this, nodded, "Yes, look at your happy appearance, how can there be a feeling that Guard Luo is actually a subordinate to you?" Are you paying too much attention to him? β
Bai Ying's ridicule made Banxia blush, she twisted, stomped her foot and said, "Miss, you are joking with the slave again, the slave is just happy that the young lady has such a powerful guard?" β
"Okay, good, you're happy for me." Bai Ying said with a smile.
Neither of them noticed at the moment that someone was staring at them under the attic.
Li Yuanzhi looked at Bai Ying, who was smiling happily, almost obsessively, if he hadn't patted him with his hand, it was estimated that his soul would have been lost at this time.
Since being rejected by Bai Ying fiercely before, he has not lost his fighting spirit, but he has become more and more courageous. When he was preparing for a new round of goodwill, he didn't know why, but his father arranged a lot of things for him to do, saying that it was an experience. Then he had to let go of all distractions and do things seriously.
After he had settled everything, Uncle Thirteen returned, and his pursuit plan would be declared a failure in advance.
During this time, he listened to his father's arrangement and got along with the daughters of several ministers, but his mind was full of Bai Ying in the process. In his cognition, only what you can't get is the best.
Now he can't tell whether he fell in love with Bai Ying at first sight or is too obsessed to let go, he has to get it.
Maybe I have to get it, but I still like it.
The third prince patted Li Yuanzhi on the shoulder, and when he saw the other party come back to his senses, he asked, "I said Yuanzhi, why have you been shaking your mind all the time here, what?" Thinking about women? β
Hearing this, Li Yuanzhi couldn't help glaring at him, "What nonsense, didn't you see my father on the side?" β
"You're also a lot older, what are you afraid of!" The third prince said, with a look of disapproval.
The third prince is the same age as him, only one year older than him, he sneaked out of the palace all day long, and he didn't listen to the saint's lecture several times, and he was a bad master. He played with each other a few times, and was ordered by his father to have less contact with the three princes.
Now that the third prince has come directly to him, it is not easy for him to refuse.
"Today, Uncle Thirteen is the protagonist, and now we are still in Uncle Thirteen's garden, don't cause trouble."
Li Yuanzhi reminded in a whisper, afraid that his father would see it.
"Come on, it's boring, you're really getting bigger and more cowardly."
After the third prince said this, he waved his hand, turned around and left directly.
Li Yuanzhi couldn't help but sigh when he heard that.
It's not that he gets more and more worried, but that the courage on his shoulders gets heavier and heavier as he grows up. He is the son of King Jing, and in the future, he will provoke all the affairs of the entire Jingwang Mansion, and he will also share it for the saint, which does not allow him to be distracted at all.
With King Jing being reused, more and more people look at King Jing's Mansion unpleasantly and want to pull people down.
Xu Mansion is a good choice many times.
Sweeping away the annoying things in his mind, Li Yuanzhi regained a smile on his face, and swept around the attic, and found that there were still people on it, and now the building was empty.
Seeing this, his heart suddenly felt empty.
Everyone present noticed that King Mu, who was still chatting happily beside them, had long since disappeared, and the pleasant chatting voice slowly turned into a whisper.
King Jing walked up to Li Yuanzhi, glanced around, and asked, "Where did your thirteenth uncle go?" β
Facing King Jing, Li Yuanzhi's heart was full of admiration and admiration, "The child doesn't know either." β
Just when everyone was about to cause a riot, King Mu, who had disappeared for a stick of incense, finally appeared in front of everyone, but there was a woman behind him, and there was another one behind the woman.
Seeing Bai Ying appear, Li Yuanzhi's eyes suddenly lit up, and his eyes couldn't wait to look at each other.
Bai Ying's unique clothes attracted everyone's attention.
When everyone lamented her vulgarity, they were even more attracted by her beauty. When I saw her hand tightly held by King Mu, I instantly understood something.
Compared with Bai Ying's refinement and beauty, the woman behind her looks a little weak, with a constant smile on her face, and her appearance and temperament are not as good as the former, she can only be said to be an ordinary beauty.
Cangshu saw that everyone was looking at them, and felt that today's purpose had been half achieved. He still held Bai Ying's hand and said to everyone, "Didn't you say that there was a banquet?" Stand and sit down. β
After he said this, he walked directly to the chairman's table with Bai Ying, and let Bai Ying sit beside him, while Su Hexiang sat under Bai Ying.
The main table is full of people from the royal family, the top is the prince of the same generation as Cangshu, and below are several princes and princes.
As soon as they sat down, they were very curious about Bai Ying, who was sitting next to Cangshu.
"I said thirteen, the beauty is beside me, why don't you introduce it, is this our brother-in-law?"
The first to speak was the leader of King Jing, who has always had a good relationship with Cangshu, and it is reasonable for him to open this mouth.
In the face of his ridicule, Cangshu appeased Bai Ying for a while, and then replied: "What did the fifth brother say, you all know this, she is the daughter of Lord Xu." β
In a word, it directly and clearly explains his relationship with Bai Ying.
Bai Ying greeted the princes, princes, and princes decimately, and the smile on his face never broke.
Everyone in the capital knows the relationship between King Mu and the daughter of Wu Zhuangyuan, and now looking at the posture of Cangshu, it is clear that he wants to confirm the rumors. But think about it in another direction, if there are no signs, and the rumors are used?
And when King Jing said Bai Ying just now, he used the word "brother-in-law", and Cangzhu did not deny it, which shows that the good things of the two are approaching.
Li Yuanzhi, who realized this, had a bad face, but now that there are so many people present, it is not easy to show it.
quickly suppressed the stunned on his face and raised a faint smile, but there was still a trace of sadness in his eyes.
Compared to everyone's attention on Bai Ying's body, the third prince looked at Su Hexiang, who was sitting on the side without saying a word, and said with a smile: "This one who is somewhat similar to Miss Xu is Miss Xu's sister." β
Su Hexiang, who had been peeking at Li Yuanzhi, heard someone mention him, and quickly raised his eyes to see that the other party was also a handsome person, and immediately lowered his head with a smile.
Seeing this, Bai Ying's brows furrowed again.
