Chapter Seventy-Eight: Birthday Banquet

"Your Majesty is strategizing, and the ministers are obedient." No wonder his father would choose Su Yutian to succeed him as emperor, but what he did, Su Jingye did not dare to agree.

"You're scolding me in your heart." Su Yutian laughed, and Su Jingye hurriedly denied it, "Your Majesty is wise and wise, so you naturally know that Weichen doesn't dare." ”

"Even if you don't, you must complain in your heart that I am a merciless person."

The two of them just walked to the front of the carriage, and Xiao Quanzi immediately took down the stepping stool from the side of the carriage. Su Yutian patted Su Jingye's shoulder and supported him on the shoulder to get into the carriage.

"Jingye, this is the biggest difference between you and me."

Without waiting for Su Jingye to respond, Xiao Quanzi ordered someone to drive away. Su Jingye stood in place, looking at the back of the carriage in the distance, and muttered, "What Your Majesty said is very true, fortunately, Weichen is different from Your Majesty." ”

Leaving the Yushitai, Su Jingye led the horse and rode back to the palace by himself. When Jiang Liuyu heard that Su Jingye was back, she happily greeted him, but found that his face was a little ugly.

"What's wrong with you, but something is upset?" Jiang Liuyu was reluctant to see him so sad, so she reached out and rubbed his face.

"Alright, Ruyu, stop making trouble." Su Jingye couldn't cry and laugh when she asked her to rub it, and hurriedly pulled her hand down. "There are so many troubles in this world, who can guarantee that every day will be happy? But don't worry, I'm fine. ”

"That's good." Jiang Liuyu sat next to Su Jingye with her heart down, her head resting on his shoulder, "If you have anything bitter in your heart, you can tell me, just like I will complain to you." Even if you can't solve it, you will feel much more comfortable saying it. ”

"You've heard about Wu Zhuangyuan outside." Su Jingye lowered her head and looked at her gently, reaching out to caress Shangjiang Liuyu's tender face. "The people involved are the Ministry of Works and the Ministry of Officials, and they have nothing to do with me."

"It's just that the charges have not been confirmed, and they are only suspected. But they shirk each other's responsibilities, presumably the wives of these two families must also be on the same page, and the next time you accept someone else's invitation, you must be careful to avoid these two. ”

"Got it?" Jiang Liuyu didn't react, so Su Jingye pinched her nose with two fingers and shook it gently. Jiang Liuyu was amused by him and hurriedly pulled his hand down.

"I know, I don't want to go to these banquets, but now I have made up my mind, even if someone comes to invite, I will say that I am sick and will not go, and I will not be able to cause trouble."

"That's right, too." After all, their current situation is a little embarrassing, Su Jingye reached out and took her in his arms, his chin resting on her forehead, "If it's a banquet where I'm not there, you can use this method to shirk it, even if they have something to do in their hearts, it's better than being framed and causing trouble." ”

"That's what I mean, I don't go to these places of right and wrong, how they like to arrange behind their backs, how they arrange it, I can't hear it."

Jiang Liuyu stomped her feet mischievously, and the two hugged each other for a while, and Su Jingye reluctantly let go of her hand. Jiang Liuyu knew that she was busy with a lot of things now, and it was inconvenient to disturb her.

It's just that I didn't expect that in the next few days, they rarely even saw each other during the day.

The method of calling the disease has been used since ancient times, although some people are shameful, but the effect is still very strong. Whenever someone sent a red greeting post at the gate of the palace, Jiang Liuyu asked his subordinates to answer like this, and hid in the backyard and refused to come out.

Those who send posts really have no choice, and they can't be bold enough to guard the gate of this palace, that's not a handle to impeach their own lord for nothing. They had to go back for a few hours at most.

Jiang Liuyu couldn't help laughing every time he heard the reply of his subordinates, and he hid in the backyard and enjoyed himself. It's just that no matter how good this method is, there are times when it can't be solved.

This day is the 16th of this month, and all major families in the capital have the custom of having their families gather to admire the moon on the 15th, so on the morning of the 16th, the families of all the officials of the DPRK and China must be there.

The wife of Li Wensong, the secretary of the military department, sent posts to various families early this morning, and the reason for the gathering was Mrs. Li's birthday today, and she invited everyone to come over for a banquet. This sudden invitation caught everyone off guard, and they didn't even have time to prepare gifts.

Mrs. Li deliberately befriended Jiang Liuyu before, and the ladies in the capital felt that they had a deep relationship, so Mrs. Li pushed the boat down the river and also sent a post to King Jing's mansion.

Jiang Liuyu rarely got up early today, and wanted to go out to go out, but as soon as he arrived at the mansion, he saw the people of the Li family guarding there.

The middle-aged man sent by the Li family this time was a middle-aged man with a sharp beak and monkey cheeks, who seemed to be very calculating. Jiang Liuyu was caught by him when he went out, and now he doesn't even have a chance to go back.

"Princess Jing is driving, the little one is going to meet Princess Jing." As soon as the man saw her appear, he greeted her, and the roar was known to everyone in the street.

"Presumptuous, whose family are you? How dare you be so rude to the princess. ”

The idle people on the street, hearing the movement here, were happy to hide in the corner to watch the excitement, Jiang Liuyu was so angry by his actions that his face turned blue and white. Xiaoyun couldn't look at it, so he stopped in front of him, pointed at the person who came and scolded.

"The little one is the deputy housekeeper of the Shangshu family of the Ministry of War, and according to the instructions of my wife, I came to send a post to Princess Jing." The man took out a well-made post from his cuff and put it in front of Jiang Liuyu.

"Why?" Jiang Liuyu reluctantly took it.

Before he opened it, he said again, "Today is the birthday of the eldest lady of my family, I didn't want to be so extravagant and wasteful, but after all, I haven't seen the ladies of the family for a long time, and the eldest lady misses it very much, so she found this reason and invited everyone to get together." ”

"The eldest lady still has a word, I want to tell the princess the little one." The Wan family had been hunched all the time, but now they raised their faces and stared at Jiang Liuyu with a pair of slender eyes.

Jiang Liuyu was very unhappy when he saw it, so he frowned and asked viciously: "If you have something to say, say it quickly, don't babble here." ”

"The eldest lady wants to tell the princess that everyone will be here today, and the eldest lady has a very good relationship with the princess, if you let others know that there is a dislike between you, wouldn't it be a joke, and please don't excuse the princess because of illness, you must come over."

"You're trying to blackmail me." Jiang Liuyu's hand holding the post was faintly white, and Xiaoyun saw it, for fear that others would see something wrong, so she hurriedly snatched the post from her hand.

Why did she have a dislike for her relationship, Li Niangzi knew better than anyone else, but now she is using this matter as an excuse, and she doesn't know what her purpose is. Jiang Liuyu originally thought that she couldn't hide if she couldn't afford to hide, but Li Niangzi refused to give her a chance to hide, which was too deceptive.

Except for the fact that there is no one to make friends with, Su Jingye has not hindered anyone's interests in her career, even if Jiang Liuyu goes, but she thinks that she has a good character, as long as she is careful, she should not easily offend people.

As for the arrogant Li Niangzi, Jiang Liuyu also told her to see her courage and slapped her in the face fiercely.

After thinking about it, Jiang Liuyu put his hands in front of him, straightened his back and posed like a royal princess, and looked at the butler's face with disdain with his chin raised.

"Since Mrs. Li is so warmly invited, how can I refuse?" Jiang Liuyu cleared her throat and instructed Xiao Yun, "Xiao Yun, you go and call someone to come to the carriage, and choose a few pieces of jewelry for Mrs. Li as a congratulatory gift when you go back to the house with me." ”

"Princess, our eldest lady said that the princess only needs to come over, and the princess will not break the bank." The housekeeper thought that he was able to speak skillfully and shouted Jiang Liuyu over, so his face was proud.

"Presumptuous, what are you to dare to talk to the princess like this." This housekeeper obviously got carried away, Xiaoyun really had never seen a servant sent by a big family, so unruly.

Jiang Liuyu had a sneer on his face, and the aura around him was not angry, "Your Excellency, do you know why you are still the deputy butler?" ”

The man was stunned, not knowing what she wanted to say, "Please also ask the princess for advice." ”

"There is no distinction between priority and priority, and one is lost at the expense of the other." Jiang Liuyu said that, turned around and asked Xiaoyun to go back to the house together, and found several jade decorations in good color in the warehouse before he was willing to go out.

The deputy housekeeper heard that what Jiang Liuyu said was not a good thing, and saw that she didn't pay attention to herself at all, and went her own way, her face suddenly became gloomy, and she shut up and stood next to her carriage.

Mrs. Li didn't have to bring any gifts when she wanted to call her over, and the meaning of this was that she didn't know anything when she was like before.

Today is her birthday banquet, Li Niangzi invited all the officials and relatives of the DPRK and China into the house with great fanfare, and she has a false name as a friend, and she must be very eye-catching if she agrees to the post. If she came empty-handed, wouldn't she make the whole capital laugh at her?

If you say that the previous invitations were just close friends between a few ladies. But this time, she wanted to make her lose face in the entire court, and Mrs. Li's move was too vicious.

Jiang Liuyu rubbed the pair of jade-carved Maitreya Buddhas under his hands, and his face was full of ridicule.

The housekeeper saw that Jiang Liuyu still obediently got into the carriage and followed him back to the house, his face was slightly better, but he still held a grudge.

The coachman whipped the horse and controlled the direction in which the horse walked, but after walking a pillar of incense, Jiang Liuyu came to the mansion of the military department. Sometimes Jiang Liuyu himself hated why the mansions of the two families were so close.

Jiang Liuyu got out of the carriage and saw people coming and going in front of Lord Li's mansion, and secretly congratulated himself that he was not late. The butler pouted and glanced at her, and then took the lead to go back to the front.

"Alas you," Xiao Yun really looked at him more and more unpleasantly, Jiang Liuyu smiled lightly and pulled her hand down, "Don't be angry with this kind of person, he will be punished sooner or later." ”

As soon as the words fell, Mrs. Li lifted her skirt and greeted Jiang Liuyu very happily.
