Chapter 20: The Prince's Interest

Xue Fang glanced at Bai Mingzhu's angry face, and her heart suddenly felt a lot more refreshed, she leaned closer to the ear of another girl beside her, pretending to whisper, but her voice did not lower at all: "Look at it, how the second young master Cheng and the eldest lady of the Bai family look like a match, it is a match made in heaven." As he spoke, he smiled and said to Bai Mingzhu: "Miss Bai Er, can you reveal it, when is the good thing of the Cheng Bai family set?" ”

“……”

Bai Mingzhu was angry, but because she wanted to keep the smile on her face, she was uncomfortable. She gave Cheng Ruohan several glances tonight, but every time she looked over, she found that Cheng Ruohan was peeking at the hoarfrost.

She thought that Bai Shuangshuang said that she didn't want to marry Cheng Ruohan, and she believed it, but her mother Zheng's words were not unreasonable, and Cheng Ruohan's attitude was the most important thing.

Cheng Ruohan was eating wine at the men's table, occasionally looking at the hoarfrost on the table next door.

The white frost frost really amazed him tonight, and he was polite and courteous. Although he didn't know about the tablet of Bai Shuang Shuang saving his ancestors today, he only knew how much glory this incident could bring to Bai Shuang and the people around Bai Shuang. In addition, Mrs. Cheng likes her, this is the most important thing.

When the cup was changed on the table, it was not that no one mentioned the marriage between the Cheng family and the Bai family, and after getting the affirmative confirmation of Mrs. Cheng, they all praised the Cheng family's vision.

Cheng Ruohan was thinking, although Bai Shuangshuang is not as bright as Bai Mingzhu and a little bland, it still doesn't look ugly when she looks close, plus she has a good personality and a good reputation, marrying her is only good and not bad. As for the White Pearl...... If you coax him well, Cheng Ruohan will be able to enjoy the blessings of all people.

"Seeing Second Young Master Cheng like this, I can also understand the benefits of men and women sitting separately." A man in a light golden python robe sat on the upper seat, holding a wine glass and quipping to Cheng Ruohan: "Second Young Master Cheng wants to sit in the women's seat?" ”

Cheng Ruohan was a little frightened, knowing that his performance had been seen, and his face was a little red: "His Royal Highness the Prince, this is ......"

He seriously recalled what he heard talking about next to him just now, but he could only vaguely remember what "help" and what "inn" things were, and now he couldn't answer the call, so he could only say half-vaguely: "I understand what His Royal Highness the Prince means, but the Cheng family's inn has been open for more than 20 years, and it is relatively stable. ”

The crown prince smiled, with some disdain on his face, "Second Young Master Cheng can think about it again, what if you figure it out one day?" The prince picked up the wine glass, looked at the end where Cheng Ruohan was looking before, and said, "Second Young Master Cheng is looking at the eldest lady of the Bai family?" The hoarfrost cream that saved the name of righteousness of the tablet before? ”

"Back to the prince, yes." Cheng Ruohan said a little embarrassed, as if his careful thoughts just now had been seen through.

But the prince didn't care, but squinted his eyes, looked in that direction, and muttered, "That white frost seems to be good." ”

Not bad? What's good? Cheng Ruohan didn't understand the meaning of the prince's words at all. But the prince spoke: "Second Young Master Cheng, when you are free later, you can introduce me to the eldest lady of the Bai family." ”

"Ahh Second Young Master Cheng's face stiffened for no reason, although it was only for a moment, it still couldn't escape the eyes of the prince.

"Don't want to?"

"No, no."

Cheng Ruohan didn't dare to offend the prince at this time, the prince's power in the court should not be underestimated, and almost all the ministers who could speak in front of the current saint were on the side of the prince, and the other supporters were on the side of the eighth prince.

The eighth prince is only six years old this year, and the reason why he can get support is also due to the favor of his biological mother Hua Guifei before the saint.

But why does the prince want to cooperate with the Cheng family? Why did you suddenly become interested in the hoarfrost?

Just when Cheng Ruohan was still thinking about how to answer, the prince suddenly stood up, raised his voice, and shouted at the table of the old lady of the Cheng family: "Old lady Cheng's body is as usual, money or something, presumably the Cheng family is not lacking, so this prince will abandon the position of prince today, and as a junior, I wish the old lady of the Cheng family happiness like the East China Sea and longevity than Nanshan." ”

The seat where the prince sat was also the main table, a little higher than the table of the old lady and the female guest. With this opening, naturally everyone's eyes fell on Mrs. Cheng.

The old lady Cheng looked calm as usual, but I saw the old lady of the Cheng family raise the wine glass in her hand and said to the prince, although the old lady Cheng is old, she is full of energy. "That old body, thank you to the prince." After speaking, he politely took a sip of the wine in his hand.

But the prince didn't mean to sit down, but put his eyes on the white frost beside Mrs. Cheng, and said, "The old lady of the Cheng family is the granddaughter-in-law who was set before, right?" I don't know if I see him today, can this prince have the honor to have a drink with the granddaughter-in-law of the Cheng family? ”

As soon as these words came out, the eyes of everyone changed. His Royal Highness the Prince, but he is teasing the white frost? Of course, some of the people who saw it in their eyes were surprised, and some watched a good show, this Bai Mingzhu and others were naturally waiting to see a good show, but Cheng Ruohan's face was very embarrassed.

Didn't this prince embarrass Cheng Ruohan clearly? Embarrass the Cheng family?

Mrs. Cheng listened to her ears, her face was also condensed, and she just wanted to speak, but a gentle voice came from the other table: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has good wine, I want to ask for more good wine privately brewed by the Cheng family, and I privately asked Ruohan to secretly send it to His Royal Highness the Prince, so I don't let the ancestors know, so why bother?" Even if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince saluted all the female guests at the table, the ancestor would not be able to hear it. Don't forget, the old ancestor, but he eats soft rather than hard, likes direct and doesn't like tactful people, His Royal Highness the Prince's words have been heard in the ears of the old ancestor, doesn't it make her think that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is molesting the Cheng family's granddaughter-in-law? ”

When the prince heard this, his complexion changed and changed, and at last he smiled pleasantly. Even if he really had the mind that Cheng Ruoyun said, he wouldn't admit it now. So he said: "I didn't expect that the eldest young master of the Cheng family saw it, and the prince really wanted to go in every table, and when he got drunk, he would ask Mrs. Cheng for some wine too much." As soon as the eldest young master of the Cheng family said this, it was naturally difficult for the prince to mention it more, so it was okay. With that, he sat down.

In fact, it was not only the Cheng family, but the white frost at that time was even more heartbroken, she didn't expect that the prince would suddenly target herself, and when she didn't know how to deal with it, Cheng Ruoyun stood up, but this matter made the white frost grateful. couldn't help but look gratefully in the direction of Cheng Ruoyun, but just met Cheng Ruoyun's gaze, looking at each other, the white frost couldn't help but tremble in her heart, but she hurriedly turned her head away, not daring to look at it again. Xindao, if you find space in the future, thank Cheng Ruoyun again.

A farce ended like this, Bai Mingzhu was displeased with the dishes in the bowl, very depressed and embarrassed Bai Shuangshuang, but it was the eldest brother of the Cheng family who came out for Bai Shuangshuang. But seeing that Cheng Ruohan didn't make a sound, his heart was also a little better.

The crowd around him laughed in agreement, and then said no more. Cheng Ruohan's face was even more colorful, and he glanced at the situation of the men's guest seat at the other table, and Cheng Ruoyun, who had just sat down, was also chatting with the guests rarely, and the object was ...... It turned out to be the Five Princes? Because the Cheng family has two sons, except for Mrs. Cheng sitting at the female guest table, the two sons naturally have one person and one table.

In Cheng Ruohan's impression, this fifth prince was quite prestigious a few years ago, but after being banned, he became less and less powerful. I don't know, what can Cheng Ruoyun, the sick man, talk about with this angry fifth prince?

Cheng Ruoyun has always been not drunk at all, and on this occasion today, he always replaces wine with tea. Another habit of Cheng Ruoyun is that he does not talk about business in informal settings.

Everyone understands that Cheng Ruoyun's health is not good, and it is not good for him to come to talk about business when he is resting, but will their table be too boring?

Although Cheng Ruoyun came to accompany the five princes, he didn't like to talk, although the five princes looked very talkative, but they didn't dare to take the initiative to talk. Business can't be discussed, political affairs dare not be discussed, and the people sitting at this table are really suffocated.

Later, I don't know who started and talked about the Bai family. The Bai family and the Cheng family have a marriage contract, and the eldest lady of the Bai family is a woman praised by the fifth prince Chrysostom, so there is nothing wrong with talking about the Bai family.

"I heard that the white waiter is about to be promoted, it's really a good thing."

"Bai Shi said that it is indeed blessed, a while ago the matter of the Bai family's daughter was also spreading, Bai Shi taught well, and he has also done his duty in the Hanlin Academy over the years, and he should be promoted."

When someone heard this, they chuckled twice: "Don't forget that the father-in-law that Bai Shi said is Taiwei Zheng, and he should have been promoted a long time ago." ”

"Ahem." As soon as a sensible person heard the mention of the first-class member of the court, he immediately interrupted the words without a trace, and instead chatted to Cheng Ruoyun: "The good thing between the second young master Cheng and the eldest lady of the Bai family is coming, right?" ”

Cheng Ruoyun was about to shirk and say that he didn't know what his father and grandmother had arranged, but out of the corner of his eye, he swept to the fifth prince Li Yuanbo, who was sitting on the top seat, just looking at him for a while, as if he was looking forward to what he was going to say.

Cheng Ruoyun pretended not to see it, and only said gently and politely: "Then borrow your auspicious words." After a pause, he said: "After the banquet, everyone can take a break, and the old lady has prepared some programs for everyone." ”

"It's easy to say, it's easy to say."

……

After the meal, a group of people went to the stage in the backyard again, and the excerpts at this time were naturally handed over to Mrs. Cheng, although the men and women still sat separately, they were not as restrained as during the meal.

Bai Shuangshuang borrowed an excuse, finally got out of Mrs. Cheng's hands, quietly glanced at Chun Tao, and took Cai Sang around in Cheng's garden.

"Miss, you seem to be very familiar with Chengfu Garden." Cai Sang was holding the hoarfrost and chatted very carefully: "All the way over, you know where to go." ”

Bai Shuangshuang was still expressionless, and replied without saltiness: "I guess I came here in a dream." ”

“……”

After walking for a while, Bai Shuang seemed to be tired, so he seemed to casually find a very inconspicuous small space behind the rockery to sit and rest, Cai Sang was about to ask Bai Shuang if he wanted to go back to the stage, when he saw a person not far away.

"Second Young Master Cheng?"
