On a winter night, the streets are sparsely populated, but outside the mansion of King Ning's Mansion is a lively scene.

Although Murong Yi is a waste wood prince, he doesn't have any ink in his stomach, so he was sent by Murong You to lead troops to fight. It is even rumored that he hid in the rear security area when he was out fighting, waiting for the victory of the war to take advantage of his military achievements. However, when he returned victoriously, the mansion was still full of people, and there was an endless stream of people who came to the banquet.

Jian Xiaozhu stepped out of the carriage with Zhang Shanqing, and saw a lot of carriages parked at the gate of King Ning's mansion, and all the people who walked down were the richly dressed sons and ladies. Among them, Jian Xiaozhu saw a familiar face, this person was the black-bellied villain Qi Ren in the novel.

Zhang Shanqing and Qi Ren exchanged a few words, and then walked into King Ning's mansion together.

Walking to the courtyard where the dinner was held, Jian Xiaozhu saw that several large bamboo pavilions had been built here. Between the bamboo pavilions and the bamboo pavilions, there is a long corridor connecting them. In the bamboo pavilion, and on both sides of the corridor, there are copper stoves burning charcoal. These copper stoves are carved with delicate patterns that look lifelike. The heat emitted from the copper furnace also makes people in this semi-open environment feel cold.

In each pavilion in the courtyard, tables are set up with food and wine. The ladies and ladies at the dinner sat down the corridor, stepping from one bamboo pavilion to another, and savoring the delicacies on the table with the people they wanted to meet.

Everything in front of her made Jian Xiaozhu only feel that this dinner party was very different from what she imagined. She originally wanted everyone to sit at a table and eat together. Unexpectedly, the format of this dinner party was somewhat similar to the format of the European and American social evenings she had seen in the movie.

Zhang Shanqing walked on the corridor with Jian Xiaozhu, although he was constantly responding to the nobles who came forward to greet him along the way, his eyes were always searching for something in the crowd. It wasn't until he saw Liu Chuhan, dressed in green, appear in a pavilion in front of him that his eyes instantly lit up.

It was at this moment that Murong Yi walked out of the crowd, walked to Zhang Shanqing in a few steps and said, "Shanqing, you are finally here." For your sake, I invited Miss Liu. ”

After that, he looked at Jian Xiaozhu: "It's been a long time." ”

Jian Xiaozhu smiled: "Long time no see." ”

Seeing that Zhang Shanqing's eyes kept looking at Liu Chuhan, Murong Yi suddenly pushed Zhang Shanqing: "You go to Miss Liu, I'll take care of the little bamboo for you." ”

So Zhang Shanqing glanced at Bai Murong Yi and walked in the direction of Liu Chuhan. Murong Yi looked at his back and said with a smile: "It seems that I will be able to drink your family's wedding wine soon!" ”

Jian Xiaozhu saw that Zhang Shanqing walked over and called Liu Chuhan, who was in the young lady group, out. The two looked at each other affectionately, with a little shyness on their faces. She smiled and said, "Yes, my second brother's good deeds are about to come true!" ”

Murong Yi smiled: "You are also the eldest child, didn't your father think about finding you a mother-in-law?" ”

Jian Xiaozhu replied: "I'm still young, in terms of age, you are much older than me, shouldn't you be more anxious to find a partner?" And my second brother has found a partner now, don't fall too far behind. ”

Murong Yi pouted: "I haven't seen you for a few months, you have become so sharp-toothed." ”

Jian Xiaozhu: "I've always been like this. ”

Murong Yi sighed: "You have suffered a lot in the palace. ”

Jian Xiaozhu sighed: "Eat a trench and grow wise, anyway, now that you are out of the palace, let the past things pass." Now that I'm home, everything is fine. ”

Murong Yi looked at Jian Xiaozhu and said softly: "Yes, Xiaozhuzi, everything will be fine in the future." What's more, with me in the future, I won't let people bully you anymore. ”

Jian Xiaozhu blurted out: "You can't protect me forever." ”

After saying that, she suddenly felt that her words felt a little ambiguous no matter how she heard them, and when she looked up, she saw that there seemed to be starlight emerging from Murong Yi's eyes.

Jian Xiaozhu was a little stunned for a while, and Murong Yi opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Qi Ren who suddenly came over.

"King Ning, I've been looking for you, so you're here."

Seeing Jian Xiaozhu, Qi Ren said, "King Ning, it seems that you are also very familiar with Captain Zhang's sister." ”

Murong Yi smiled: "Yes." Brother Qi, do you have anything to do with me? ”

Qi Ren: "It's not me, it's Zhonglang General Fang Xie who wants to see you." ”

Murong Yi was puzzled: "What is the matter with him looking for me?" ”

Qi Ren looked at Jian Xiaozhu, and then said, "Let's take a step to speak." ”

"Okay." Murong Yi nodded, and then said to Jian Xiaozhu, "You go to the bamboo pavilion to eat something first." The eight-treasure fish made by the chef in our house is delicious, and if you go late, it will be gone! ”

"Got it!"

Murong Yi followed Qi Ren and left. It's just that when leaving, Qi Ren glanced at Jian Xiaozhu meaningfully. Maybe she knew that this person was a villain, but Jian Xiaozhu always felt that his eyes made her feel very uncomfortable.

Jian Xiaozhu walked to a nearby bamboo pavilion and saw two maids standing next to the table, holding plates in their hands, and at the suggestion of the guests, they put the dishes they wanted to taste on the plates. The people standing in this bamboo pavilion were all some unfamiliar faces of Jian Xiaozhu, and one of them, a girl with a cute appearance and a yellow dress, stepped forward and sat next to Jian Xiaozhu and asked, "Are you Zhang Yunzhu, the third lady of the Zhang Mansion?" ”

Unexpectedly, this girl knew who she was, Jian Xiaozhu nodded: "Yes." You are? ”

The girl in yellow replied, "My name is Cheng Chuchu." My brother's name is Cheng Yu, I think you must have heard his name, right? ”

It turned out that this girl turned out to be the legendary Chen Yu's sister, Jian Xiaozhu smiled: "I know, of course I know." ”

It was at this time that the maid gave her a plate of fish and other delicacies. Jian Xiaozhu couldn't wait to taste the eight-treasure fish in the bowl, only to feel that it melted in the mouth, which was very delicious. So Jian Xiaozhu sighed: "I didn't expect the chef of King Ning's Mansion to be so powerful!" ”

Cheng Chuchu listened to Jian Xiaozhu's words, and suddenly snorted coldly: "What, I think King Ning's Mansion is very good, so do you want to catch King Ning again?" ”

Unexpectedly, this cute-looking girl had such a smell of gunpowder as soon as she opened her mouth, and Jian Xiaozhu almost squirted out the fish in her mouth.

Cheng Chuchu continued to speak coldly: "I saw it, you have been with King Ning all the time. ”

Jian Xiaozhu was embarrassed, thinking to herself, this Cheng Chuchu was probably Murong Yi's admirer, and she was displeased to see her standing with Murong Yi. So she explained: "King Ning has a good relationship with my second brother, so he just came to greet me just now, don't misunderstand me." ”

But Cheng Chuchu sneered: "I didn't misunderstand you." After all, you put on Zhu Gongzi on your front foot, and when you saw that Bai Guifei was losing power, you wanted to catch King Ning again. I really feel worthless for Zhu Gongzi, I didn't expect him to be in love with someone like you. ”

Jian Xiaozhu looked at Cheng Chuchu in surprise, it seemed that this person was Zhu Yan's admirer.
