The person who came was none other than the guest of this banquet, the fourth prince of Ling Chi, Shen Yanxiu.

Seeing the comer, Meng Zhaoyan did not move, but Meng Lianfeng was the first to catch up.

Yin Shang saw that he was going to move, afraid that the previous thing would happen again, so he went up one step ahead and blocked Meng Lianfeng's footsteps.

Meng Lianfeng was stunned for a moment, and when he came back to his senses, he saw Yin Shang and Shen Yanxiu talking and laughing.

"I have admired Lord Yin for a long time, and when I saw it today, I was sincerely impressed by Lord Yin." Shen Yan is beautiful, but he is not flattering, neither humble nor arrogant.

Yin Shang smiled, his face was delicate but domineering, which made people inevitably feel good, "The fourth prince is polite, please take a seat." ”

Yin Shang led the people to Meng Zhaoyan's left, and Shen Yanxiu and Meng Zhaoyan nodded in greeting, but they looked rusty. Yin Shang saw it and hurriedly introduced: "This is His Royal Highness the Third Prince of my dynasty. ”

Meng Zhaoyan was inconvenient to get up, so he only smiled and nodded.

Shen Yanxiu stopped, raised his eyebrows a little cynically, and said: "It is rumored that His Royal Highness the Third Prince is not good at doing things, but now that I see it, Fang Dao is true." ”

When the words fell, there was silence in the hall, Meng Zhaoyan did not change his face and looked at Shen Yanxiu, but the Song Painting Temple had a bad impression of Shen Yanxiu.

Meng Zhaoyan's leg disease is something that has never been hidden, but no one should say it so blatantly, and regardless of his identity as the third prince, it is really disrespectful to say this.

Moreover, if he insinuated Meng Zhaoyan, it was also disrespectful to Cang Li.

Meng Zhaoyan glanced around, smiled, and said, "The fourth prince is so clear about Cangli's affairs, which really makes this king admire." ”

Shen Yan Xiupi didn't smile, "It is rumored that the third prince is wise and wise, but Yan Xiu really doesn't dare." ”

Meng Zhaoyan raised his eyebrows, reluctant to say more, and just at this time, a eunuch from the inner chamberlain passed the word, saying that the emperor was coming out of the Heart Cultivation Palace.

Everyone didn't say much anymore, but the scene of Meng Zhaoyan and Shen Yanxiu facing each other had already fallen in their hearts.

Yin Shang looked a little strange, he thought that Shen Yanxiu could face Meng Zhaoyan and he should sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, so as to reap the benefits of fishing, but he had a bad feeling in his heart.

Taiqi walked up from the side door first and shouted, "The emperor has arrived!" ”

Except for Meng Zhaoyan, everyone stood up and saluted.

The emperor's gaze swept lightly, and he stayed on Shen Yanxiu for a long time, but his brows suddenly frowned when he saw Meng Lianfeng.

Everyone here is a human spirit, of course, they will not miss the emperor's expression, but Meng Zhaoyan sat on the lower seat with his eyes down, but he didn't see it.

Shen Yanxiu took the envoys out of the ranks, bent down and bowed his hands neither humbly nor arrogantly: "Shen Yanxiu, the fourth prince of Ling Chi, greets Your Majesty. ”

The emperor said lightly: "Let's be flat." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

"Ling Chi has occupied the mountains for many years, and has never had any contact with Cangli, so what is the so-called matter when he comes to the dynasty today?" The emperor asked.

"Cangli is located in a vast area, the army is strong, and my father specially told me to learn more from Cangli, so I have this trip, and I have benefited a lot along the way."

This is a legitimate reason, the emperor couldn't refute it, nodded lightly, and then said: "Today's banquet is specially held for the secretary and others, and the four princes are seated and enjoy the banquet with the ministers of this dynasty." ”

Shen Yanxiu bowed again and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty." ”

The emperor looked at Meng Lianfeng, his eyes were undisguised, and he looked carefully, the courtiers had many calculations, but Meng Lianfeng still didn't know.

Shen Yanxiu raised a glass of wine to Meng Zhaoyan, and Meng Zhaoyan was just about to return the salute, so he called the Song Painting Temple to block it back, and said in a low voice: "You can't drink now." ”

Meng Zhaoyan looked at Shen Yanxiu and smiled, but also asked in a low voice, "Why?" ”

"You have poison on you, don't drink alcohol."

This reason really made Meng Zhaoyan unable to refute, he only raised the wine glass, and then opened his sleeves widely, and turned all the wine upside down under the table. Seeing the whole Song Painting Temple, there was a sullen laugh, but it made Shen Yanxiu a little confused.

There will be singing and dancing at the banquet, and the atmosphere will be more lively when the dancing girl comes up, the emperor is a little sleepy, and he left from the side after a few hasty explanations, and the adults are waiting for this time, and for a while they will focus on Shen Yanxiu.

The people who befriended him couldn't sit still on Meng Lianfeng's side, and Yin Shang didn't stop him, at least he could probe Shen Yanxiu's attitude, he pulled Meng Lianfeng aside, his face was expressionless, but his tone was fierce, "Why do you call the shots!" ”

"What do you mean?" As soon as he said this, Meng Lianfeng was only irritable.

"The emperor is already dissatisfied with your performance, why should you bother to go up!"

"Why are you upset with me?"

Yin Shang almost wanted to open his head and see what was inside, Meng Lianfeng was arrogant and intolerable, this kind of thing would happen sooner or later!

"When you go to receive Shen Yanxiu......"

"Four Princes!"

Meng Lianfeng quietly pushed Yin Shang aside, and took a few steps closer to talk to Shen Yanxiu who was coming towards him.

Yin Shang secretly gritted his teeth and looked carefully in the dark, Shen Yanxiu's attitude of ignoring his previous suspicions was what he wanted, but unless Shen Yanxiu asked Meng Lianfeng for something, the two of them could put aside the previous contradictions for the time being, which was a good opportunity to win over Shen Yanxiu.

But on the other hand, Shen Yanxiu's attitude is still ambiguous, and the news from the intelligence does not have more information about Shen Yanxiu.

He still needs to be observed.

Meng Zhaoyan has always been isolated in the court, so there are almost no people who communicate with him, and it is rare for the Song Painting Temple to sit next to him.

At today's banquet, I didn't see Mrs. Song, and I don't know why.

The Song Painting Temple was bored, and when he saw that there was no one around, he remembered the topic that Meng Zhaoyan had left behind.

"Hey," Song Huaci secretly smashed Meng Zhaoyan's left arm, his face was silent, but he asked in a low voice: "The one you told me about earlier, now talk about it......"

Meng Zhaoyan raised his eyebrows, smiled a little with wine, and said, "I really want to know, you are a boudoir woman, you don't need to know these ......"

Song Huaci frowned, stroked the rim of the cup with his fingers, and said, "Then if you don't want to say it, don't say it, I didn't force you." ”

Meng Zhaoyan chuckled, this is a little trick to get away with it.

"It's okay to say it's okay with you, and it's not a secret."

"Say it, say it."

Meng Zhaoyan said with a smile: "Now above the court, the division of parties is particularly serious, and the emperor ...... The father knows in his heart that this is an indelible heart disease, and the fifth brother is like this, just to move the thorn in his father's heart. ”

Song Huaci suddenly said: "Do you mean that the emperor is taboo about party affiliation and does not want to see someone win over courtiers, and Meng Lianfeng's publicity will only cause the emperor to be dissatisfied?" ”

Meng Zhaoyan smiled, "The ancestral hall is really smart. ”

Song Huaci blocked the wine that Meng Zhaoyan was about to enter with one hand, and glared at him, only causing a chuckle in his ear.

Song Huaci looked up, only to see Shen Yanxiu sitting in front of the desk on the side, chewing carefully, without looking at this side, Song Huaci was puzzled, and simply ignored him.

Meng Zhaoyan saw it in his eyes, and a cold light flashed in his eyes.

At the end, Taiqi was ordered to come to the front hall and said to Shen Yan: "The four princes, Your Majesty is sympathetic to your fatigue and has set up a palace for you in the palace. ”

Of course, Shen Yanxiu would not say that he was not tired, and then arched his hand and said, "There is Gonggong Lao." ”
