The same cannot be said for that. At least he is so humble and retreating, maybe he can make the emperor feel sympathetic and sorry, and then give some other compensation. Zixi said, "Besides, it's okay to celebrate in the evening, and the ministers will still go when they should go." ”

After all, he is the prime minister of the dynasty, ranking first among the hundred officials, who dares not to give face among the ministers?

The Prime Minister's Mansion should be very lively tonight.

At this time, in the eldest princess's mansion, Su Jin was half-lying on the soft couch in the princess's palace, pinching the gilded post with her slender fingertips, and quietly lowered her eyes for a long time, as if she could see any flowers on this post.

There was no obvious emotion on his handsome face, but his eyes were like waves, constantly churning with cold and deep colors.

"Your Highness the Princess." The sound of the maid saluting respectfully broke the long silence in the room.

Su Jin raised her eyes and watched a beautiful woman in a dark waist light robe walk in with the cold wind, and got up from the couch to greet her without hurrying, and her voice was clear and pleasant: "Your Highness is back." ”

As he spoke, he raised his hand to help the woman take off her cloak, and turned around to hang it on a rosewood hanger.

Chu Ning walked into the inner room and glanced at the invitation he had casually put aside on the low table, "Su Xiang's birthday?" ”

Su Jin's expression paused slightly, and he also turned his head to look at the post, and nodded: "Hmm." ”

"Why didn't you go?"

Su Jin rolled her eyes and looked at her steadily: "I'm waiting for His Highness to go with me." ”

In the past two years, Su Jin's birthday banquet has been done alone, he is a concubine, although he is not valued by the family, but filial piety is the first for the son of man.

At my father's birthday banquet, I said that I had to go back.

In previous years, he didn't go with Chu Ning because he felt that the identity of the colt was embarrassing.

Although the concubine has no status, the concubine in the prime minister's family still has the right to gain fame, he used to claim to be a scholar, he was arrogant, and he was unwilling to admit his identity as a concubine, so it was naturally impossible for him to go back to his father with Chu Ning as a husband and wife to pay homage to his father.

This year, however, is different.

"Your Highness knows that my brother has always been unkind to me, and he suffered a loss in the princess's mansion before, if I go back alone tonight, I am afraid that I will be bullied by them."

Su Jin raised his hand, his slender fingers combed Li Chu Ning's sideburns, and his voice was low and lazy: "Can Your Highness accompany me?" ”

Chu Ning raised his eyes and looked at him silently.

The corners of Su Jin's mouth were lightly raised, and the corners of his eyes and eyebrows poured out a bright brilliance like stars.

Chu Ning didn't speak.

Half an hour later, the two took congratulatory gifts and took a carriage to the Prime Minister's Mansion together.

They didn't come too early.

The guests who should have arrived at this hour had almost arrived, and many carriages were parked outside the Prime Minister's Mansion, and all the high-ranking officials and ministers in and out of the court were all heads and faces.

However, even so, when the carriage of the Eldest Princess's Mansion stopped outside the gate, the air was still almost imperceptibly quiet.

As soon as the car stopped, Chu Ning and Su Jin, who were sitting in the car, had not yet gotten out of the car, but a man's joking voice suddenly sounded outside: "Huh? Isn't this the carriage of the Eldest Princess's Mansion? ”

Su Jin was about to get up, but suddenly paused when she heard this voice.

A cold light crossed his eyes almost imperceptibly, and he sat back down without hurrying.

"Prime Minister Su Cheng's birthday, as a son, why did Su Cheng arrive at this hour?" The man snorted, and his voice was full of ridicule and contempt, "It's not that I don't want to come at all, but I'm worried about being said to be unfilial, so I'm grinding until now, right?" ”
