Chapter Ninety-Four: The Banquet

Because Zhao Ye had been talking to Su Xuan, she couldn't find an excuse to leave first, and she was worried about Zhao Ling, so much so that she seemed a little absent-minded.

Zhao Ye is such a person, how can he not see Su Xuan's thoughts, but he doesn't seem to mind at all, he still laughs with her and talks about the recent anecdotes.

General Ma called his daughter over in the middle of greeting the guests, and instructed: "You don't care about Su Xuan's niece and the prince's affairs!" ”

"Why!" Ma Rulan was surprised, "This time I brought Su Xuan to solve the matter between Su Xuan and the prince!" ”

"Do you have two eyes to get out of breath?" General Ma scolded, "The third prince is obviously interested in Su Xuan's niece!" If you help match Su Xuan's niece and the son, isn't that obviously offending the third prince? ”

"There are more men who are interested in Su Xuan, can you offend them all?" Ma Rulan said disapprerovingly, "Father, are you thinking too much?" ”

"How can other people compare to the Three Princes?" General Ma said, "There are only so many of the most noble men in this Great Zhou, and which one can you offend?" For my father, I have just been transferred to the capital, so don't trouble me, I haven't figured out the situation in the capital yet, whether it is the second prince or the third prince, we will not help anyone, and no one will be offended! ”

"Can children's private affairs still be related to family and national affairs?" Ma Rulan rolled her eyes, "Father made a big fuss!" The court is a public instrument of the state, and if the court is involved because of personal grievances, such a narrow-minded person is not worthy of being a monarch! ”

"Shut up, you!" General Ma wrinkled his old face, "Some things are said in front of me, but don't go outside and talk nonsense when you have a mouth!" I thought that after listening to a few sentences of drama, I knew everything! If there is a selfless person in this world, it is a saint, and a saint cannot become a great monarch! Okay, let's not talk to you, remember the words of the Father, and go! ”

The third prince drank a glass of wine, looked at Su Xuan's perfect face, felt a ripple in his heart, and a tenderness rose, and he asked softly: "If I'm not mistaken, it will be Su Xuan's sister's birthday in two days, right?" ”

"Yes!" Su Xuan lowered her eyes and said.

"Sister Su Xuan, do you have any birthday gifts you want?" The third prince asked, "No matter what you want, even if it's a star in the sky, I'll find a way to pick it off for you!" ”

"There are birthdays every year, nothing special, and Su Xuan doesn't have anything special to want!" Su Xuan said lightly, "It's already Su Xuan's honor for the third prince to remember!" ”

"Is there no birthday present you want, or is the person giving the gift not what you want?" Zhao Ye played with the wine glass, a slight smile on the corner of his mouth, and said coldly.

"Su Xuan doesn't understand what the third prince means!" Su Xuan said expressionlessly, her face was cold, like a cold plum.

As the two were talking, they heard the next person say in a loud voice: "The son of the world has arrived!" ”

Seeing a touch of joy on Su Xuan's face, the third prince glanced at the stunning woman beside him, his eyes suddenly became gloomy, and the smile on the corner of his mouth rose again.

"I've seen the Three Princes!" Zhao Ling entered the interior and saluted.

"You're welcome!" Zhao Ye said with a smile, "The prince came late, I don't know why it was delayed?" ”

"Something did happen on the road, but it was just a trivial matter!" Zhao Ling smiled faintly, "I've waited for a long time for the third prince, and I will definitely punish myself with three cups later!" ”

"You and my brother, it's okay to wait, if you make the beauty wait for a long time, it will be your sin, but it is not a self-punishment of three cups can be counted!" The third prince said.

Zhao Ling glanced at Su Xuan, who was looking at his embroidered shoes, and said with a smile: "It's Zhao Ling's fault that Su Xuan's sister waited for a long time!" He turned his head again and said, "However, the third prince and Zhao Ling are brothers, and with the three princes as companions, I think Zhao Ling will have fewer sins!" But if Su Xuan's sister is still unhappy in her heart, I will accept how she wants to punish Zhao Ling! ”

"I'm already very happy that Brother Ling can come!" Su Xuan smiled shyly, "I originally thought that Brother Ling wouldn't come today!" ”

The smile on the corner of Zhao Ye's mouth became more and more gentle, but his eyes became more and more gloomy, and he said with a smile: "I am thinking about Sister Su Xuan, Sister Su Xuan, isn't this hurting my heart?" ”

"Su Xuan thanked the three princes for their kindness, but what the three princes thought for Su Xuan may not be what Su Xuan thought!" Su Xuan said coldly, she looked at General Ma and smiled at the two people in the room because of the entry of several male guests, "Su Xuan is a woman's family, it's inconvenient to be here, so I'll leave first!" ”

"Please!"

Su Xuan left, the two men in the room were silent for a while, Zhao Ling brought himself a glass of wine, and said with a faint smile: "When did the third prince become so enthusiastic?" ”

"I've always been like this, and you'll know later!"

With the arrival of the guests invited by General Ma, the exercise officially began, and Zhao Ling and Zhao Ye naturally skipped the little episode between Fang Cai and staggered with everyone.

In the afternoon, Su Xuan was waiting uneasily in the flower hall, Ma Rulan stepped forward lightly and said in her ear: "The person has arrived, if you still can't get a positive promise from the prince today, maybe there will be a new way, you must not be brainless!" ”

"Got it, I'm not an ignorant person, but I ...... in front of him" Su Xuan sighed, "I know what to do!" ”

Ma Rulan left, and after a while, she saw Zhao Ling coming, Su Xuan turned around, her eyes were full of tears, and said, "You are here!" ”

"Hmm!" Zhao Ling nodded, walked over and looked at the scenery side by side with her for a while, and said in a deep voice, "You go back!" ”

Su Xuan paused for a moment, turned her head to look at his side face, and asked uneasily, "Where are you going?" ”

"Go home! The capital is not for you! Zhao Ling didn't look at her, just looked at a few floating clouds in the sky with a distant gaze.

"Did I influence you?" The tears in Su Xuan's eyes couldn't help but fall, "Or should I not come to the capital at all?" ”

"You shouldn't have come to the capital at all!" Zhao Ling turned around, frowned at Su Xuan's tears, sighed, and said, "I didn't mean that!" Sister Su Xuan, there is one thing I don't know if you have a good understanding, you are known as the 'first beauty', your beauty in this capital may bring you unexpected trouble! If you want to live your life smoothly, go back and stay away from the capital! ”

Su Xuan tilted her head a little puzzled, and said, "I don't understand what Brother Ling means, there is Brother Ling in the capital, and I am not afraid of anything!" ”

"In this capital, the most important thing is the powerful, although you have a noble status, there are still many forces that you don't expect!" Zhao Ling said, "Even if it is the Queen Mother, she may not be able to completely protect you!" ”

Zhao Ling looked at Su Xuan's appearance of biting her lip, and couldn't bear it, and said softly: "I told you last night that I treat you as a sister, so naturally I don't want to see you hurt in any way, if you are accidentally involved in the whirlpool, and then want to get out of the way, it will not be easy!" ”

"My thoughts, Brother Ling, why do you pretend to be confused? What am I doing in the capital, but I'm not here to be your sister! Su Xuan turned her head and wiped the tears from her face, "It's been twice, I also understand Brother Ling's intentions, the purpose of my coming to the capital is to make you understand, since you have made it clear, then I should also go back, and Brother Ling doesn't need to persuade him anymore!" ”

"It's best if you can figure it out!" Zhao Ling said with relief.

"Miss Jiang, is it really that good? You can do so many things for her, am I really not as good as her? Su Xuan asked again behind Zhao Ling's back.

"I've never compared you guys together, you're you, she's her!" Zhao Ling said, "I have known Xiaoyu since childhood, and our love is deep-rooted. ”

"You go, let me be alone for a while!"

Zhao Ling was about to leave, thought about it and said, "Third prince, stay away from him!" ”

"I'll be careful!"

Zhao Ling looked at Su Xuan's back, knowing that she must be crying at the moment, and she couldn't bear it in her heart, but she didn't want to give her any more fantasies, so she didn't come forward to comfort her, and turned to leave.

Ma Rulan looked at the figures of the two from a distance, although she couldn't hear what the two were saying, but looking at Su Xuan's appearance, she probably knew that the two were not talking happily, and after Zhao Ling left, she hurriedly went to comfort Su Xuan.

"Are you alright?"

Su Xuan hid in Ma Rulan's arms and cried: "I should have died last night, but today is just a humiliation!" ”

"That's because he doesn't know the goods! Don't think about it, the man in this world is not Zhao Ling, there are many good men, do you have to hang yourself on a tree? ”

"There are many men in this world, but there is only one Zhao Ling!"

Su Xuan cried a lot, until a little servant came and said, "Miss Su, the third prince said that he is now ready to enter the palace to greet the Queen Mother, and I want to ask Miss Su if she can go together?" ”

"Go and tell the third prince that Miss Su will be here soon!" Ma Rulan said, "Don't think about it, go and say hello to the Queen Mother first, stay in the palace for a few days, and let the Queen Mother find you a good family!" ”

"Don't make fun of me, where do I have those thoughts now!" Su Xuan hurriedly wiped her tears, and then remembered Zhao Ling's advice, but since she had already responded, she was afraid that it would be difficult to excuse herself, and besides, she just went to ask the Queen Mother for peace, there shouldn't be anything, maybe Brother Ling was thinking too much.

After Su Xuan went back to the room and tidied up, she left the horse mansion and got into the carriage where the third prince was already waiting outside the door.

The third prince stretched out his hand to pull Su Xuan into the carriage, Su Xuan hesitated for a moment but handed her hand over, and was pulled into the carriage by the third prince, she wanted to take her hand back, but the other party still held it tightly.

Su Xuan glanced at Zhao Ye in confusion, and Zhao Ye let go of his hand, changed to a comfortable posture casually, half-leaned on the carriage, and asked, "Look at Su Xuan's sister's appearance, did she just cry?" Wasn't he heartbroken by Zhao Ling? ”

"This is my business, don't worry about the three princes!" Su Xuan moved her gaze out of the car window, and regretted going all the way with him.

The corners of Zhao Ye's mouth provoked a wicked and cold smile, and he looked at the woman in front of him like a prey.
