If you ask any more, it will be Li Wenfeng who deliberately uncovered the scars at this state banquet.

"So that's the case, but the official is too talkative, since the countess and Mrs. Xiao have something to say, the official will leave first."

inevitably caught fire, mainly because he couldn't talk about the countess, Li Wenfeng had no choice but to keep a straight face, barely did enough courtesy, and hurried back.

There were still several officials in the rear waiting for news from Li Wenfeng, and when they saw such a scene, they all dispersed one after another.

"Your Majesty, it's coming soon, Countess and Lord Zhang, Madame Zhang should sit down early." Xiao Huai'an got up and clenched his fists politely, and his tone of voice was rarely softer.

But fortunately, Zhang Song is not the kind of person who likes to be inflammatory, and in the face of Xiao Huai'an's change of attitude, he did not show much ecstasy, politely replied, and a few people walked away.

Then at the moment when they each returned to their seats, the emperor appeared one step after him, supported by the old eunuch Dequan.

"Your Majesty, the queen has arrived!"

Immediately, everyone left their positions and fell to their knees, and the entire hall fell silent.

The emperor and queen sat down, the emperor and the queen glanced at each other, and then raised their right hand, "Today is a good day for Rulie to get married. ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Because of the cover of the table below, Su Jiao's kneeling movement was not too big, so as not to hurt her knees, and she got up at this time and followed the speed of most people, and slowly stood up.

Later, the old eunuch Dequan clapped his hands again, and immediately several beautiful dancers dressed up came in to perform with water sleeves, and under the cover of silk and bamboo music, Su Jiao's voice could only be heard by Xiao Huai'an.

"I didn't deliberately try to win over others, but I made these friends by mistake, what do you think, if there is trouble in the future, will they be reliable?"

"Most of the crowds gather because they have common interests, if it weren't for Zhang Yuge, do you think the household department would have dealings with you?" Xiao Huai'an said, and quietly sandwiched a piece of beef for Su Jiao.

Su Jiao also noticed that this side was in full view, and she needed to show some affection to Xiao Huai'an, so she took an orange in return.

"That being said, one more friend is one more way, at least one less enemy."

"This family affair is completely under the control of the queen, even if there will be changes in the future, the attitude of the household department towards us may not be the same."

Xiao Huai'an's words were a little cold, and Su Jiao almost fell on the table with the dishes on the chopsticks. Seeing this, Xiao Huai'an reluctantly slowed down. "Actually, it doesn't necessarily, it mainly depends on whether Xu Rulie has overdone it."

It was much clearer when she said this, and Su Jiao couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, she really believed in Xiao Huai'an so much that she almost forgot that she knew the content of the original book.

In the original book, Xu Rulie has a deep love for Su Lian, and in the world where Su Jiao is now, there has been no change at all.

Xu Lin, the prince of Earl Yong'an, sent Zhang Yuge into the mansion of the three princes, so most of the officials entered the palace, but the wedding banquet in this mansion was too deserted.

At least Xu Rulie has also met a lot of elegant sons outside the palace on weekdays, but today he didn't even invite anyone, and in front of several banquet tables covered with red tablecloths, there were only a few respectable old gentlemen.

The more the prince looked at it, the more angry he became, and he simply grabbed a small servant in the house, "This prince asks you, what about the third prince?" ”

The prince of Earl Yong'an pretended to be well-known for his good temper in the capital, but today he suddenly became so irritable, which shows that he is really angry.

The little guy was scared enough to him, waved his hand and hurriedly said: "I'm sorry for the prince, I don't know the little one, maybe His Royal Highness is busy greeting his subordinates and sending the dowry of the third prince and concubine to the treasury." ”

When the words landed, Wang Xulin really let go of his hand, but he didn't go to Xu Rulie's theory angrily, but frowned and thought for a while, then put his hand behind his back and paced not knowing where to go.

The little guy can be regarded as free, looking at the direction in which Wang Xulin walked away, he hurriedly ran to the back to find Xu Rulie to report.

"Your Highness is not good, the prince found that no one at the banquet outside was furious, maybe he will be recruited here soon."

"Let you serve the people of the Earl of Yong'an's Mansion for a good life, do you take His Highness's words as a deaf ear, why don't you hurry out to entertain him, if he finds out about the backyard, His Highness will ask you."

At this moment, Xu Rulie was searching around in Zhang Yuge's dowry, as soon as Zhang Yuge got married, in addition to the dowry of the household, the Earl of Yong'an's Mansion also added a lot, and it filled a room.

It takes a long time just to record these things, let alone just to find that kind of medicinal herb.

"This, yes." The little guy scolded him and had nothing to say, in comparison, although he was bluffed by Wang Xulin just now, it was more difficult for Xu Rulie to serve.

In desperation, he had to agree and run out again.

In fact, after hearing about what happened a few days ago, Wang Xulin had already roughly guessed what kind of deserted scene the wedding banquet would be tonight.

Wang Xulin, as the son of the Earl of Yonghan, is not very smart, but since he was a child, he has known how to accumulate and forbear, and what Xu Rulie is doing today, there are two reasons for what he knows.

But as the third prince and a member of the royal family, even if Wang Xu Lin was unhappy, he couldn't say anything, so he could only endure it for the time being, and seek an opportunity to send news to the palace, maybe he could make Xu Rulie restrain himself.

In the palace, as the dancing girls in the center of the main hall rotated faster and faster, the state banquet in the palace gradually entered the climax.

Among the large and small officials in the court, all those who can speak in front of the emperor are holding wine glasses at this moment, and they are all coming over to toast in batches, all of them are counting the advantages of the three princes.

But for the time being, regardless of whether they are sincere or false, at least it makes people feel comfortable listening to it, and the emperor is rarely so happy as today, so he drank all the wine that everyone had brought up.

It's just that no matter how happy he is, there must be a limit to the amount of wine, after three rounds of drinking, the emperor has a slightly drunk appearance, just when Xiao Huai'an was about to come over to toast, the emperor was obviously a little exhausted.

When the old eunuch Dequan beside him saw it, he immediately reacted, and asked his godson behind him to give the emperor a cloak and persuade him in a low voice.

"Your Majesty, you are drunk, you really drank too much today, the slave has already called the people below to prepare the sobering soup, why don't you go back to the palace to rest first."

"Well, okay, ask Huai'an to come over and send me back to the palace." The emperor held his forehead with one hand, and his face was also rarely flushed with drunkenness. He naturally knew what he could do, so he agreed to Dequan's persuasion.

"Yes, Wechen obeys." Xiao Huai'an promised to put down the wine glass, and the old eunuch Dequan helped the emperor to leave, and the officials who wanted to come to toast knelt down to send them off.

It is worthy that Dequan has been by the emperor's side for so long, even if he has long been dissatisfied with Xiao Huai'an in his heart, he can still pretend to be nothing, and he doesn't mind Xiao Huai'an showing his face in front of the emperor at all.

But not far away, among the group of noble ladies who surrounded the queen and said auspicious words, Su Jiao knew very well what Dequan was thinking.

Dequan is a person who firmly stands in the party of the three princes, and he had a lot of collusion with the queen in the original book, so that Xu Rulie's back road can go so smoothly.

It's just that one mountain can't accommodate two tigers, and since the emperor has him by his side, how can he tolerate Xiao Huai'an's existence. It's just a pity that the original book has too few descriptions of the two supporting roles of Dequan and Xiao Huai'an, and the results behind it are also very vague and can't be seen.

Thinking about it, Su Jiao couldn't help but feel a little anxious, something like this unknown was really annoying. She looked at the direction Xiao Huai'an left, and wanted to remind him a few words, but unfortunately there was no chance, so she could only talk about it after she went back.

"Mrs. Xiao, if you marry to marry Lord Xiao, presumably Lord Xiao won't make you tired, but why haven't I seen you to our party for so many days, it won't be because you dislike us, right?"

When Su Jiao was distracted, a smiling lady came over, looking at her kind eyebrows, but she secretly slandered and ridiculed others when she said it.

Su Jiao was stunned for a moment, she couldn't quite recognize who this person was, and when she saw that the countess was talking to the queen in front, I was afraid that she took advantage of this time to deliberately come over to find trouble.

"How dare I say anything that I don't dislike, it's just that for so long, except for the hospitable Countess and Mrs. Tobe Shangshu who have had dealings with me, no one has invited me, I'm afraid that you think I'm rude and won't let me join in."

Generally, it is best to refute others is this collection of truth and falsehood, not to mention that Su Jiao is still telling the truth, which made the face of the lady opposite change slightly, deliberately changed the topic, and wiped her nose with a handkerchief.

"Lord Xiao is the most profitable person in front of His Majesty, how dare we look down on Mrs. Xiao. It's just that I'm afraid that I will send the post over, and Mrs. Xiao won't agree, won't we be embarrassed? ”

"Having said that, Mrs. Xiao, as the wife of a second-class minister, did not even hesitate to visit the posts of us second-grade officials, how could such a hot high-ranking official as the Ministry of Officials still serve under Lord Shangshu of the Ministry of Officials."

The words landed, and immediately after the noble lady's words, it was actually Mrs. Hubu Shangshu who came out to settle for Su Jiao.

Su Jiao was stunned when she heard this, on the one hand, she was not very skilled in the conversion of official grades, and on the other hand, she was also puzzled, Mrs. Zhang has never been like this kind of person who can take care of things, how did she change her personality today.

"Mrs. Lin." Mrs. Zhang stepped forward with a light smile, and took Mrs. Lin's hand on the other side very affectionately, just like Mrs. Lin was talking to Su Jiao just now, and this time it happened to be Mrs. Lin uncomfortable.

"I haven't seen you for many days, but Mrs. Lin is still so talkative."
