Shen Jungao's greeting made Li Xinchen and Pei Zilie smile bitterly in their hearts.

This is obviously a posture that does not put Xu Jian, Lu Qiong and others in their eyes, but with the current situation that the East Palace and Yangzhou Thorn History are on the same page, there is no need to pretend to say hello.

Lu Qiong walked forward directly without saying a word, and Xu Jian had a somewhat embarrassed look on his face, no matter what, he was also the young master of this Jubao Zhai, but Shen Jungao usually talked with Xu Ling's peers, even if he didn't greet him, he didn't dare to show much dissatisfaction.

As for Chen Shujian, he snorted straightforwardly and followed Lu Qiong. However, Chen Shucheng glanced at Li Xinchen slightly with a weak heart, obviously compared to Chen Shujian, his acting skills and concentration are still worse after all.

Seeing that his son was standing with Lu Qiong and the two princes again, Xu Ling's face suddenly became a little gloomy, and Shen Jungao's way of greeting just now was not so much a demonstration to Xu Jian, but rather to express his dissatisfaction with Xu Ling.

However, Xu Ling also knew that now was not the time for him to educate his son, and a shadow on his face flashed away, and he immediately changed his smile again, and greeted several guests who came up to salute after him, as if he didn't see his own son at all.

"Lord Zhou, Lord Shen, Master Fu!" Li Xinchen and Pei Zilie saluted.

"Lord Zhou, you know this Pei Dashi, this is Li Xinchen and Li Shizhong." Shen Jungao introduced to Zhou Qu.

Standing in front of Li Xinchen, the prince's concubine is not young, his beard and hair are already snow-white, but his cheeks are ruddy, indicating that he is very healthy, and when he smiles, his eyes are narrowed into a slit, like a Maitreya Buddha:

"Xun Chen, the old man has heard Lord Shen and Master Fu praise you these days, and his ears are almost hearing the cocoon. Your poems and articles are well written, and you are resourceful, and it is really a blessing for the prince to be able to get you to work. ”

Li Xinchen has long heard that this week is not only an upright person, but also a good person, and he also likes to promote his juniors on weekdays, according to what he just said, this is true. It is no wonder that Shen Jungao did not believe that Zhou Qu would betray the East Palace when he learned that Li Xinchen was outside Zhou Qu's mansion.

Zhou Qu, who was born from the heart and smiled kindly, just gave people a feeling of "not a bad person" at first glance.

In this way, the most important courtiers in the East Palace, Li Xinchen can be regarded as having seen them all, and if you want to say that you have not seen them, I am afraid that only the prince himself, Chen Shubao, is left.

Everyone in the East Palace gathered together to say hello, and after Li Xinchen thanked Zhou Qu, he was about to go to Xu Ling to salute, when the sound of hurried footsteps came from behind him, and then he could see the two Chen Shujian brothers, who didn't know what Xu Jian was talking to, while walking quickly to the door, seemingly quite anxious.

And Shen Jungao and the others also noticed something, and they all stopped talking, and at the same time looked in the direction of the door, when they saw the person who walked in with Chen Shujian's brothers, the faces of the three ministers of the East Palace changed slightly, and there was coldness in their eyes.

"It's Chen Bogu." Four words popped out from between Pei Zilie's teeth.

Xiao Shilian and Li Xinchen are not unfamiliar with this name at all, and it is no wonder that the Chen brothers rushed out after hearing the news.

Xiao Shilian subconsciously straightened his waist and looked at the person who strode in, while Li Xinchen stretched out his hand to protect Li Li'er behind him, and said coldly: "Tonight is really lively. ”

Shen Jungao squinted slightly: "This pool of stagnant water, whether it continues to sink or comes alive, I'm afraid we will see." ”

————————————————-

Chen Bogu is not the same as Li Xinchen imagined, and it is not the villain image that Li Xinchen subconsciously sketched in his heart.

From a distance, Chen Bogu is just a middle-aged man who looks quite elegant, shaking the fan with one hand, and gently flicking the jade jue wrapped around the belt with the other hand, intentionally or unintentionally, it seems to be the appearance of a royal child like Chen Shujian after he is twenty years older.

However, when Chen Bogu approached, Li Xinchen vaguely felt that this person was difficult.

From the heart, if Zhou did give Li Xinchen a kind feeling just now, then now this Chen Bogu brings him a deep chill. There was an incomprehensible coldness in his eyes, which seemed to be murderous and angry.

This middle-aged man, who has been on the battlefield and officialdom for a long time, can control these two feelings very well.

As if sensing the gaze projected from the side, Chen Bogu tilted his head slightly, and happened to see Shen Jungao and a few people, obviously he didn't expect the main courtiers of the East Palace to be so neatly present, and his face couldn't help but change slightly, but it immediately became a little more ruthless.

Obviously, in his eyes, whether it is Zhou Qu, Shen Jungao, or Li Xinchen, Pei Zilie and others next to him, they are just the lackeys of the crown prince Chen Shubao. Since Chen Shubao is not here, there is nothing Chen Bogu needs to care about.

Shen Jungao snorted coldly, although he was low-key, but just like most literati, he had a somewhat arrogant temper, Chen Bogu ignored the East Palace like this, it was obviously slapping the prince's face, and also slapping the face of every East Palace courtier present, of course Shen Jungao couldn't bear it.

What's more, His Majesty's edict has come down, and Shen Jungao will take office at the next court meeting and serve as the court lieutenant of Nan Chen, in charge of punishment. Tingwei is a position left over from the Han Dynasty, one of the nine secretaries of the Three Princes and Nine Secretaries, and it is a real position with fame and power.

And although Chen Bogu is a relative of the emperor, he is not the prince of His Majesty after all, although the servant he serves and the priest of the country are also very important, but compared to Shen Jungao, it is much worse.

Therefore, no matter what aspect it is, Shen Jungao could not tolerate Chen Bogu treating him with this attitude.

"Shen Gong, no." Zhou Qu took a step forward and blocked Shen Jungao, "Even if this Chen Bogu is arrogant, how long can he be arrogant, now you must not be arrogant!" ”

Fu Wei also bowed slightly, gently twisting the string of Buddha beads in his hand, and he didn't know what he was whispering in his mouth, but his gaze at Chen Bogu was cold.

Shen Jungao waved his sleeves and looked at Chen Bogu's back: "I want to see how long you can be chic!" ”

Chen Bogu, who had just exchanged a few words with Xu Ling, seemed to notice the not very friendly gaze behind him, and slowly turned his head, just in time to meet Shen Jungao's gaze. He raised his eyebrows, smiled provocatively, and then the expression on his face returned to his original cold appearance: "Shu Jian, Shu Cheng, Brother Lu, Brother Xu, let's go." ”

"Ah Jian, you wait," Xu Ling, who was whispering something to several other old ministers next to him, suddenly spoke at this time, "Father has a few words to tell you." ”
