Many people gathered outside the main hall, some ministers and their families chatted outside the hall, and some sat and drank inside the hall.

Su Muqiu and the others didn't stop outside the hall, after all, there was a prince of Dongli Kingdom beside him, so he couldn't pull him outside to blow the wind, and he and the ministers who were vain and arrogant should praise each other.

Entering the hall, the eunuch took Liyang and Tang Lian to the seat on the right, while Fang Jinyi and Su Muqiu went to the left and sat behind Fang Yanyu.

"What's wrong?"

Fang Yanyu saw that something was wrong with the two, Su Muqiu glanced at Fang Jinyi, who was silent, and then said to Fang Yanyu: "Father-in-law, it's okay." ”

Liu Qingqing, who was on the side, looked at Fang Jinyi, and saw that her face was ugly, so she couldn't help but joke: "Could it be that you are quarreling?" I said, today is the prince's birthday, don't ...... it."

"Madame's words are serious." Su Muqiu interrupted her with a smile, looked at her and said, "My wife and I are as deep as the sea, how can we quarrel?" It's just that the crown princess fell into the water, and the lady is worried about the crown princess. ”

"What? Wu'er overboard? Liu Qingqing shouted, as if she had forgotten where she was at this time, and immediately attracted the people around her to watch.

Fang Yanyu frowned unhappily, looked at Su Muqiu and said, "What's the matter?" ”

"Actually, it's not a big deal, it's just that when the crown princess and her wife were chatting, they were too emotional, and they accidentally fell into the water for a while, and it was okay at the moment." Su Muqiu had a smile on his face, but his eyes were plain.

Liu Qingqing learned to be obedient this time, looked at Fang Jinyi and lowered her voice and said, "How could a good Wu'er fall into the water?" Isn't it ...... you?"

"Didn't Mrs. Liu hear what I just said?" Su Muqiu frowned and interrupted her words, and said in a deep voice: "I have already said that it was the crown princess who was emotional and accidentally fell into the water. If Mrs. Liu doesn't believe it, she can personally ask His Royal Highness Liyang, who is sitting opposite, he has seen it with his own eyes. ”

Liu Qingqing turned his head to look at the other side, Liyang was talking to Tang Lian, as if he noticed that someone was looking at him, turned his head to take a look, and found that it was Liu Qingqing and the others, and then picked up the wine glass and made a 'please' gesture.

Su Muqiu picked up the wine glass and saluted in the same way, and then after taking a sip of wine, she looked at Liu Qingqing and said, "Mrs. Liu, this is not what it used to be, my wife is not the soft persimmon you can handle casually in the past." ”

"Mu Qiu!" Fang Yanyu said in a deep voice, then glanced at Fang Jinyi, who lowered his head and didn't speak, looked at Su Muqiu and said, "Pay attention to proportionality when you speak." ”

Su Muqiu nodded respectfully, "Yes, the son-in-law lost his word." ”

Fang Yanyu turned his head to look at Liu Qingqing, who was angry, and frowned: "Don't sit here either, go to the harem to see Wu'er." ”

"Yes, sir."

Liu Qingqing stood up and walked out, and glared at Su Muqiu fiercely when she left, but Su Muqiu didn't take her seriously at all.

After Liu Qingqing left, Fang Yanyu looked at Fang Jinyi and asked, "Jinyi, is there anything wrong?" ”

Fang Jinyi looked up at him, saw him looking at him lovingly, suddenly his nose was sour, he held back the tears that were about to fall, shook his head and said, "I'm fine, don't worry about Dad." ”

Fang Yanyu smiled with some relief, nodded and said, "That's good." ”

Su Muqiu looked at Fang Jinyi, who was trying to hold back her tears, felt a little distressed, thought about it, approached her and said, "If Madame is sad and wants to cry, my husband can find a way to make you cry, and you don't have to worry about your face." ”

Fang Jinyi was about to hold back herself, but Su Muqiu's words made her take back the tears that were about to fall, and for a while, she didn't know whether to cry or laugh.

Su Muqiu saw Fang Jinyi crying and laughing, so she smiled and comforted: "Okay, don't be sad, next time my husband will definitely help you vent your evil anger." ”

Fang Jinyi laughed, looked at him and said, "This shouldn't come out of your mouth." ”

"Whose mouth should that come from?" Su Muqiu asked with a smile, seeing that Fang Jinyi was not as sad as just now, he felt much better in his heart.

Fang Jinyi thought for a while and said seriously: "Su Zixu." ”

Su Muqiu frowned dissatisfiedly, "Listen to what you mean, he can help you get angry, can't I?" ”

Fang Jinyi smiled and shook his head, "No. It's that you talk and do things in a very different way from him, you like to act in secret, and he will say what you say, and then go to justice with great fanfare. ”

"How can I hear you're belittling me?" Su Muqiu raised his eyebrows and said.

"How can it be demeaning? I'm praising you. Fang Jinyi looked at him with a look of surprise and said, "Operating in secret can save a lot of trouble, and blatantly will only cause more trouble." ”

Su Muqiu thought about it seriously, nodded, and shook his head again: "There is some truth in your words, but why do I feel so awkward when I listen to them?" ”

Fang Jinyi smiled silently, picked up the wine glass and took a sip of wine, and the sadness in his heart just now seemed to have disappeared for most of it.

Liyang and Tang Lian on the opposite side had been observing Fang Jinyi all the time, watching her talk to Fang Yanyu, looking at her sad appearance, and now with a smile on their faces, all in their eyes.

"Tang Lian, you said she wouldn't be tempted by Su Muqiu, right?"

Tang Lian, who was sitting behind him, retracted his gaze, picked up the wine glass and drank it all, "I don't know, don't bother me." ”

"Hey, how do you talk? I am now the Prince. Liyang turned to look at him dissatisfiedly, and snatched the wine jug from his table by the way.

Tang Lian snorted, raised his eyebrows, and said, "What's wrong with the prince?" The prince doesn't have to listen to me yet. ”

Liyang, who was pouring wine, turned to look at him, and said unhappily: "Hey, it's too much." ”

Tang Lian glanced at him with some disdain and said, "Then you can behead me." ”

"Again." Liyang sighed helplessly and said, "Okay, I know that you are not happy in your heart, I don't care about you." ”

Liyang turned around and sat down, and when he raised his eyes and saw Fang Yanyu looking at him, he smiled and raised his wine glass, and Fang Yanyu made a toasting gesture.

Fang Yanyu's face looked a little bad, but because of the scene at this moment, he had to raise his wine glass and salute it back.

About half an hour later, Yan Zhe and Yan Yumo arrived, and Fang Caiwu also followed.

Liu Qingqing returned to her seat, and looked at Fang Jinyi when she walked to Fang Yanyu's side, her eyes seemed a little weird.

Fang Jinyi didn't see Liu Qingqing's eyes, and quietly listened to Father-in-law Bai announce the start of the birthday banquet, anyway, what she needed had been found, and she didn't have to deliberately disguise herself.

Yan Zhe said a paragraph, roughly today is the prince's birthday, thank friends from neighboring countries for coming to celebrate, let everyone be casual.

When Yan Zhe and Yan Yumo were seated, everyone sat down, and then it was time for the song and dance performances and the ministers to send congratulatory gifts.

Fang Jinyi was not interested in these, but he couldn't leave, so he lowered his head and played with the jade pendant on his waist.

This jade pendant was given to her by Fang Yanyu on her twelfth birthday, and it was the first gift given to her after her mother's death.

Su Muqiu drank alone from beginning to end, without looking at it, although he was here to attend the banquet, but in fact, Yan Yumo's birthday had nothing to do with him, and he didn't need to flatter anything.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I take this opportunity to announce one more thing."

The hall was quiet, and everyone looked at Yan Zhe, except for Fang Jinyi and Su Muqiu.

"I have decided to pass the throne to the crown prince, and when the date is agreed, the succession ceremony will be held."

Fang Jinyi and Su Muqiu were stunned at the same time, then looked at Yan Zhe with a look of surprise, and then turned their heads to look at Yan Yumo.

Later, Yan Yumo said something, Fang Jinyi didn't listen to it, although she had long known that Yan Yumo would succeed to the throne sooner or later, but she didn't expect it to be now.

Not only did Fang Jinyi not pay attention to what Yan Yumo said, but Su Muqiu did the same, but at this moment his eyes fell on Yan Zhe.

This cunning fox.

The sound of celebration sounded in his ears, Fang Jinyi listened to it in his heart, Yan Zhe is only in his fifties now, and at such a strong age, he suddenly passed on the throne to Yan Yumo, there must be some important reason. For example, Su Muqiu.

Fang Jinyi looked at Su Muqiu, and found that he was looking at Yan Yumo with a smile, and suddenly felt bad in his heart, it seemed that she had guessed correctly.

A birthday banquet, some people are happy and some are sad.

In the evening, the banquet venue was moved outside, just like Yan Zhe's last birthday banquet, there should be a lot of them, and even a few things were added, as if to celebrate Yan Yumo's imminent becoming the king of the southern kingdom.

When watching the performance, Fang Jinyi was a little absent-minded, she looked down at the purse in her hand, and was a little hesitant.

"For me?"

Fang Jinyi looked up and saw Su Muqiu looking at her with a smile on her face.

Putting away the purse, Fang Jinyi looked at the performance stage and said, "What do you Su Zhuang want, where do I dare to be ugly." ”

Su Muqiu chuckled and shook his head, "No, as long as it's sent by you, I like it." ”

Fang Jinyi didn't speak again, and now that Su Muqiu said something, she couldn't tell whether it was true or false.

Yan Yumo, who was echoing the minister, glanced at Fang Jinyi in the audience, there have been too many things happening in this time, and their situation is very different when they meet this time.

Just when the show was at its peak, Fang Jinyi quietly withdrew from the banquet, Ziyi followed her, and the two walked to the courtyard next to them.

And Yan Yumo also left quietly at this time, only taking the eunuch Xiaoluzi beside him, he knew that Fang Jinyi would look for him, and he also had something to say to her.

After Fang Caiwu saw Yan Yumo leaving, he immediately turned his head to look at Fang Jinyi's position, but he didn't see her, and his eyes suddenly became cold.

Fang Jinyi, it's you again!

Fang Jinyi and Ziyi stood in the courtyard for a while, until Yan Yumo appeared, and Fang Jinyi asked Ziyi to wait for her.

Although Ziyi was puzzled, she still obediently walked to the side, after all, Fang Jinyi met Yan Yumo so blatantly, and he would probably not do anything out of the ordinary.

"Jinyi, are you okay?"

Seeing Yan Yumo's worried appearance, Fang Jinyi smiled lightly and said, "Why do you ask that?" I've always been good. ”

"Today in the lotus pond, what Wu'er said ......" Yan Yumo hesitated, he knew that Fang Caiwu's words must have made Fang Jinyi feel very uncomfortable.

Fang Jinyi shook his head, but did not speak, only handed over the purse in his hand.
