Chapter 166: Bad Luck
Since Xia Zhiming came to prominence, he has always been the most prestigious son-in-law in the entire capital, but in the past, he had an excellent reputation, but now, it has become a joke after tea and dinner for others.
In the past two years, I don't know how many people have trained their own sons, don't learn from Xia Zhiming, beautiful women are everywhere, with fame and fortune, there is no worry that there are no beauties who take the initiative to throw themselves into their arms.
Xia Zhiming is a woman, so that the emperor has no face, and Princess Yicheng has no face, don't look at His Majesty on the surface is not angry, he is still close to the Liuguo Mansion, but everyone in the capital seems to have seen the day when the Liuguo Mansion was defeated.
Xu Meng took the chopsticks and flicked the dishes on the table, and when he saw the white oil, he lost his appetite.
Xia Zhiming was obviously also a little surprised.
He used to attend all kinds of banquets when he was at home, and the food was always fresh and exquisite, and he really didn't realize that the dishes made in the original kitchen had such a look.
Xu Meng's voice was not high, but it still made the people around him look sideways.
These people looked at Xia Zhiming, their eyes were a little strange.
For a while, the whispering gradually started.
Lin Guan couldn't help but smile: "The people in the capital are really interesting, I said earlier that you are the pearl of the royal sea for more than ten years, and now I am surprised because you don't marry the princess, if you are the son of His Majesty, how can you marry the princess?" ”
Xia Zhiming: "......"
Xu Meng rolled down in a cold sweat.
"Your mouth will become a bane sooner or later."
Xu Meng wiped his sweat, glared at Lin Guan, looked left and right, and was glad that there were not many people around.
The other guests present have their own goals, even if they want to be close, they will also find those who are worthy of being close, except for Xia Zhiming in Changping Academy, the only valuable one is Xu Zhongming, but Xu Zhongming is not there!
And Xu Zhongming may be a character outside the capital, but this is the capital, and it is not worth much to take out a prince at will, so what is he!
As for Xia Zhiming, the surrounding guests all stayed away at this time.
"It's boring!"
The food was not tasty.
There were few acquaintances to talk to.
There is no value in attending such a banquet.
Xia Zhiming pondered for a moment and chuckled, "Go?" ”
A few people put down their chopsticks and looked around, Yang Yuying glanced at her classmates at another table, stretched out her hand to signal, and got up to get ready to slip away, before she took two steps, Xia Zhiming frowned slightly, and stopped to stop.
"Big brother."
Xia Xiang, the second son of the Liuguo Mansion, hurried over through the crowd, and as he moved, the eyes of the surrounding guests followed.
Xu Meng sighed in his heart: "Trouble." ”
Xia Xiang was wearing a purple robe and a gold crown, dressed luxuriously and dignified, and at first glance he was more magnificent than when Xia Zhiming was at home.
He approached with a slightly apologetic smile on his face, "There are too many distinguished guests here today, and my brother is neglecting." ”
This was also said very politely, but several people heard it wrong.
Lin Guan raised his eyebrows and chuckled: "Xiao Xia, I remember that His Majesty has already named you the prince of Liuguo, right?" ”
Xia Zhiming frowned and glared at him.
Lin Guan's most proficient skill is to turn a blind eye to Xia Zhiming's white eyes.
"Why are you now a guest of the Guogong Mansion?"
Xia Xiang's face changed slightly, and then he smiled: "This son is really joking." ”
As he spoke, he took a step closer, approaching Xia Zhiming, with a smile in his eyebrows, as if he had infinite apologies, but his voice was so cold that it seemed to be with ice slag: "Do you think you are still the original son?" In this world, nothing is taken for granted, those people who used to pursue you are now my connections, and in the capital, no one recognizes you anymore......"
"Miss Yang! Xia Gongzi! ”
Xia Xiang was stunned, followed the prestige, and saw a young man in the uniform of Jiangnan Academy rushing into the garden panting, looking around, and turning his head to see a table of people on this side, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
"Miss Yang, come with me, something is wrong!"
Before the young man finished speaking, the center of the banquet, the direction of the Huxin Pavilion was already in turmoil.
Xia Xiang's face changed slightly, and he turned around and left.
Yang Yuying chuckled: "Li Xiuhan is disobedient and out of Jixian Academy?" ”
Sun Mao sneered: "...... I do not know. ”
He is not Li Xiuhan and his father, who can control where he goes!
Sun Mao thought for a moment and asked softly, "Is it really something unclean on our bodies?" ”
Before the words fell, he couldn't help but shudder.
Yang Yuying didn't put on a show, she smiled and made a gesture of invitation to Xia Zhiming, and the group got up and walked through the crowd.
As soon as they approached the Huxin Pavilion, everyone saw that Xia Xiang was comforting those guests in embarrassment.
"Don't worry, come with me, I'll send you home right away!"
At this time, the status of these guests is not low, how could they listen to the command of the princess of a country, and as soon as Xia Zhiming came, these people all threw down Xia Xiang, and asked in a gossipy manner: "Zhiming is back, what's going on?" ”
"It's a student from Jiangnan Academy who has an accident? Do you recognize? Is there a clue? ”
Xia Zhiming frowned slightly: "Let it go." ”
As soon as he spoke, the conversation became a few degrees quieter, and the crowd quieted down, making way for people to pass.
The smile on Xia Xiang's face couldn't be maintained for a while.
Obviously, Xia Zhiming has been scolded by 10,000 people, and it has become a joke in the capital, a joke in the Liuguo Mansion, before he came back, these elders were also polite to themselves, and when Xia Zhiming was mentioned, they were full of disgust, why......
Xia Xiang struggled to support it, so he didn't have a seizure, and squeezed in behind Xia Zhiming, but as soon as he came in, he regretted it a little, his performance just now was like Xia Zhiming's follower.
Yang Yuying and Xia Zhiming didn't pay attention to the young man of the Guogong Mansion who was thinking about himself, and his attention was all focused on the stone bench in the Huxin Pavilion.
Li Xiuhan sat at the stone table, his face was full of horror, and when his eyes fell on Yang Yuying, he was frightened, suspicious, and a little pitiful.
A cloud of blood appeared on his face with Chinese characters, and the blood marks looked hideous and terrifying, but when he looked closely, he formed a half-word.
A complete moldy word, and half a lucky word.
The rest of the word is on the back of the hand of the little guy next to Li Xiuhan.
The little guy was talking back to Liu Guogong and a few other adults.
"Since yesterday, our son-in-law has not been good, he fell more than 20 times in one night, if he hadn't been good, I'm afraid he would have ...... Last night, Childe drank with a friend, almost choked himself to death, and was so shocked when he slept at night that he almost didn't cover himself in bed. ”
The little girl had palpitations in her heart, and she trembled as she spoke.
Liu Guogong and the others looked at each other, and the old steward of the Guogong Mansion lowered his voice and said: "The two-hundred-year-old locust tree in our garden suddenly fell down and hit Li Gongzi's face, and the little brother next to him was loyal, and he blocked it for a while, but he didn't completely block it. ”
