From Emperor Gaozu to the present, the Han family has been inherited as the founding hero of the Ji family, and it still has a huge influence.

Most of the Founding Fathers have been ruthlessly eliminated and purged in the various power struggles over the years. Therefore, the Ji family, which has Ji Xin still alive, has become an important aristocratic family in Chang'an City. What's more, the Ji family used to be the leading figures on the rivers and lakes, and they have a deep relationship with the rangers on the underworld. For that reason alone, it's worth making a good friend.

In the interaction between people, there are naturally heroes who cherish each other and treat each other with all sincerity, but more often, the main component of mutual interests still accounts for the majority. This point, not only Ji Xin, who has read all the vicissitudes of life, can see it thoroughly, but even Ji Ying knows it clearly.

Just like today's banquet, there are seven or eight hundred people at nearly 100 tables of banquets, but among them, there are probably very few people who are willing to help when the Ji family is in danger. Most of the relationships are just because of interests.

But since they are willing to come to the door to pay their respects, they naturally have some friendship, and the etiquette is also passable. The people sitting here are basically some very big people, and in order to add to the fun, there will inevitably be some small programs to increase the festive atmosphere.

If you want to say that the most noble person at the banquet, of course, Liu Fei, the king of Jiangdu. Although this prince is already in his thirties, he has not changed his temperament since he was a child, fighting cocks and dogs, hunting and playing, and his favorite thing to participate in is all kinds of banquets. On the one-acre and three-point land in Jiangdu, chickens and dogs jumped into the sky and people were angry, but the people under his rule dared to be angry and did not dare to speak.

The reason why King Jiangdu is so domineering, in addition to his own character, is because he is a brother who grew up with today's son, and because he lost his mother since he was a child, he was raised by the queen mother and regarded him as his own child, so he was pampered and arrogant, and had no scruples.

It has been almost two months since King Jiangdu came to Chang'an this time, but he was angry. Because he provoked Yuan Zhao outside the Suzaku Gate last time, after being severely taught a lesson by Yuan Zhao, he and more than a dozen royal children were imprisoned in the Sili Captain's Mansion. Liu Fei broke two ribs on his left rib and was imprisoned for half a month, until the queen mother pleaded with the emperor in person, and was released. So far, the wound has not been healed.

As for the dozen or so royal children who were with him, they were all still locked up there, looking at this posture, no one would let them out before Yuan Zhao returned to Chang'an.

Suffering such a hardship for no reason, the resentment in King Jiangdu's heart can be imagined. Anyway, the injuries on his body haven't healed yet, and just using this as an excuse, he stayed in Chang'an this winter and didn't go back. As for what he really wanted to do, no one knew. The emperor also has a headache for his brother, and he is not ignorant of Liu Fei's bad deeds in the past few years. It's just that before the bottom line is touched, the emperor will not treat him well, after all, the queen mother dotes on him very much, and where is the previous love, he can't be too ruthless.

Since the king of Jiangdu is wandering in Chang'an, he can be regarded as having nothing to do. Today, I heard about the birthday banquet of Mingyue Building, so I also came to join in the fun. He didn't come here for no reason, thinking that when he was young and had not been crowned king, he had a lot of dealings with the children of the Ji family in Chang'an City, and in front of Ji Xin, he held the gift of the younger generation.

The king of Jiangdu did not come alone, in addition to the escort relatives, there was another person who accompanied him. This person's name is Li Yannian, and he is the brother of the newly favored Mrs. Li in the Weiyang Palace. It turned out that when Liu Fei was serving in front of the Queen Mother, he was able to get acquainted with him by chance, and under his own thoughts, he hit it off at first sight, and he has been traveling with him in Chang'an during this time.

In Weiyang Palace, there are many emperor's concubines and beauties, and the battle between the curtains has been endless, which has caused many human tragedies. But it's unavoidable, who let those 3,000 fandels revolve around only one person. What's more, there is a huge relationship of rights and interests involved. If there was a moment of peace, it would be a strange thing.

Among all the harem beauties in today's son, the person who the Queen Mother is most satisfied with now is Mrs. Li who lives in Yushu Palace, and the person she hates the most is probably Wei Zifu, who is about to become the new queen of the Han Dynasty.

Under the domination of such emotions, out of a certain mind that outsiders cannot know, the Queen Mother began to envelop Mrs. Li, and in some big and small things in the palace, she raised the Yushu Palace everywhere. This kind of behavior, in the eyes of some people with ulterior motives, has produced many associations, which in turn has led to some turmoil quietly brewing inside and outside the Weiyang Palace.

Mrs. Li's name is Wanyu, and before entering the palace, she also had an elder brother and a younger brother at home. Since she was favored, it can be said that one person has attained the Tao, and the chicken dog has ascended to heaven, not only the entire family has benefited, but her brother Li Xuanji and younger brother Li Yannian have also completely changed their fate.

The Li family brothers are literate and martial, and the younger brother Li Yannian is proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, especially good at rhythm. And the elder brother Li Xuanji likes to dance with knives and sticks, and ride horses and shoot. So soon after Li Wanyu entered the palace, Li Xuanji entered the Northern Army camp and became a general. And Li Yannian followed into Weiyang Palace and served as a guard in Shuyu Palace.

Not long ago, because he was proficient in rhythm, he was appreciated by His Majesty the Emperor, who has always liked music, and often followed his attendants, and he could also be said to be a newly popular figure.

Mrs. Li is a very scheming woman, although she is favored, she knows that her foundation is still shallow, and she still needs to consolidate her power in order to make a difference in the future. Therefore, he encouraged and connived at his brother's interaction with important figures inside and outside the court.

For the Ji family of Mingyue Building, although Li Yannian has never dealt with it, he has long been familiar with its widely spread reputation. Therefore, when Liu Fei, the king of Jiangdu, came here today, he still had some respect in his heart.

Li Yannian has always been conceited about his rhythm, just now, at the instigation of the king of Jiangdu, he improvised the piano and played a song, as a tribute to the old man of the Ji family, and his clear and deep law won the applause of the whole house. Not only did the guests who were listening praise in unison, but even Ji Xin smiled and nodded frequently, and he was naturally very proud in his heart.

After Li Yannian, several guests performed several small programs such as sword dancing and pot throwing, although everyone was still laughing and cheering, but in Li Yannian's opinion, these were all things that were difficult to get into the hall of elegance, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but flash a slight disdain.

At this moment, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he couldn't help but widen his eyes, only to see a girl wearing an emerald green Luo skirt walked out, the girl was born unusually pure, her skin was white and flawless, and her eyebrows were like the moon, which made people unforgettable at first sight. Is there such a good-looking woman in this world? Li Yannian's expression was slightly sluggish, and he felt as if he had discovered a new world.

In fact, many people at the banquet had already discovered Su Hongyun and the Lingzhi behind her, but no one took the liberty to ask. The background of the Ji family is complicated, and it is difficult to guess its identity, but since it is a person who can sit not far from Old Man Ji, it is expected that it must be a deep relationship, and it may not be a close relative.

When Su Hongyun himself said the words "Fan Xue Lou", many people had a look of sudden realization on their faces. It has long been rumored in Chang'an City that there is an incomparably beautiful daughter in Fanxue Tower, and when I see it today, it is really worthy of the name!

Ji Xin saw that Su Lingzhi was generous in front of everyone, with a smile on her face, not at all childish, she couldn't help laughing, and hurriedly raised her hands to signal that she didn't need to be polite. Fan Xuelou has been prosperous in business and has a prosperous reputation in recent years, and the Zhu family has descendants, but it is also a comforting thing.

Hearing the voices of the people around him, and then looking at Ji Xin's attitude towards the mother and daughter of the Su family, Liu Fei, the king of Jiangdu, had a vacant expression on his face, but he didn't say anything. Although he has not been in Chang'an for a long time this time, because of his resentment towards Yuan Zhao, he has already used his connections to investigate the details of the people close to Yuan Zhao very clearly.

The relationship between Fan Xuelou and Yuan Zhao is almost known to the world, and it is easy to inquire about this. Liu Fei didn't have the idea of taking revenge on Fan Xuelou, but after a deeper understanding, he learned that Fan Xuelou had always been the object of key protection by the Xifeng Guard of the palace, which couldn't help but surprise him secretly. That's why he didn't dare to act rashly.

But today...... When King Jiangdu found Li Yannian's somewhat dull gaze looking at Lingzhi beside him, a thought suddenly popped up in his heart, he sensed a good opportunity to kill people with a knife, and it was placed in front of him!

Upstairs in Mingyue, the woman named Lingzhi didn't notice anything wrong, and after holding her hand as a salute, she smiled and beckoned to the two people standing behind Mrs. Su. Li Ling and Lu Jun, who had been working with her during this time, understood and hurriedly took out the jade flute they were carrying with them and ran over and handed it to Sister Lingzhi. The two little followers are the same age, after Yuan Zhao set out to fight, these two little disciples had nothing to do, so they ran to Fanxue Building every day, sticking to Su Lingzhi's side, doing this and that, but they were very diligent.

Ganoderma lucidum hands are like green onions and white, slender jade fingers are lightly pressed, cherry lips are like rouge and blood, and jade piccolo is pulled horizontally. What was played was the song "Bright Moon Thousands of Miles Sending Acacia".

This was the first piece that Yuan Zhao taught her. Just now she heard everyone talking about the war in Northern Xinjiang, and heard the heroic deeds about him, and after more than two months of parting, the feelings in her heart were deepening, so what she casually played was what she was thinking from the bottom of her heart.

Most of the people upstairs in Mingyue had heard such a beautiful tune for the first time, and after a while, the noise upstairs and downstairs gradually quieted down. Li Yannian stood up in surprise, his heart began to beat violently, my fair lady, good gentleman, such a peerless woman, she must get it in this life!

Lingzhi was playing the jade flute seriously, and the thoughts in the tune flew up to the sky of Chang'an City, going thousands of miles to the north, just hoping that the person could hear it. However, it is a pity that Yuan Zhao does not have the leisure to think about these children now, because, at the same moment, the smoke and dust are billowing north of Longcheng, and 30,000 Hun cavalry are rushing fiercely, and a vicious battle is inevitable!
