In order to welcome the three young masters back, the Prime Minister's Mansion held a family banquet. Because the emperor has made a will, and at the moment of the war, everything is simple, so Xiao Shuyong, the prime minister, took it and changed the annual feast into a family banquet attended only by the family in the prime minister's mansion.

The Xiao family's own family is thin, the second master and the fourth master are released from the office, and the whereabouts of the third master Xiao Shumou have always been unpredictable, so the rest is basically only these people in Dafang. The family banquet was lined up in the small banquet hall of the inner house, and I originally thought that only the Xiao family members who usually met each other would participate, but I didn't expect that as soon as Xiao Lingxiao entered the hall, she saw the four princes who were listed on the upper seat.

When the fourth prince saw Xiao Lingxiao's figure appear, his eyes were firmly attracted.

Xiao Lingxiao was dressed in an aqua dress, covered with light tulle, with a simple bun on top of her head and a few crystal stones as decorations. Such an outfit lined her delicate face like white porcelain and fine jade, as if she had descended from the earth.

The fourth prince's heart beat violently twice, and his body was slightly shrunk and wanted to greet Xiao Lingxiao, but he found that Xiao Lingxiao looked up at him, his eyes were full of coldness.

The fourth prince was stiffened in his seat by this look, and when he came back to his senses, Xiao Lingxiao was already seated.

Xiao Lingxiao didn't have a smile on her face at all, because she was annoyed enough by Fengming's guy before coming here.

Feng Ming didn't know what urgent things to deal with, so he couldn't attend this family banquet, before leaving, he ran to Xiao Lingxiao and told her to be careful, Xiao Lingxiao was finally annoyed by him and almost kicked him out.

"The eldest lady is still angry with Fengming? He was just worried. Bao Rong'er was waiting beside Xiao Lingxiao with a smile, and she hadn't forgotten to say good things for Xiao Fengming.

Xiao Ling glanced at her and snorted, "Did that guy forget?" I, Xiao Lingxiao, am not a bird in a cage and a flower in a pot, even he himself is a defeated soldier under me, so I dare to be cheeky and say something uneasy? "If you really don't feel at ease, Xiao Lingxiao is tens of millions of worries about Xiao Fengming's departure this time.

However, Xiao Lingxiao would rather believe that Xiao Fengming has the ability to handle everything around him, and at the same time, he naturally wants to get Xiao Fengming's trust. It's a pity that men are still inferior to women in this world, and it is very difficult to get rid of the "protection" idea that must be in Xiao Fengming's mind.

Xiao Lingxiao never had the idea of needing someone to "protect" her, because once people have such thoughts, they will inevitably become weak. Even for the divine wolf, Xiao Lingxiao strives to make their relationship "take care of" each other, rather than being "protected" by it.

Thinking of these things in her heart, Xiao Lingxiao sat in the banquet seat and didn't pay attention to Xiao Ranjie and their talking about those things in the academy.

After three rounds of drinking, Xiao Ranjie clapped his hands behind him, and a few scholars came in with some things.

"Father, this is Mr. Han Zezhi spent ten years traveling, and spent five years handwriting the hundred beautiful pictures of the rivers and mountains, Mr. Han took this as a reward for the winner of the hospital test, and was fortunate to be brought by the child, and the child borrowed flowers to offer the Buddha and gave this hundred beautiful pictures to his father."

When Xiao Ranjie said this, his face was full of smugness that he couldn't hide.

Han Zezhi was one of the most famous literati of the dynasty, he was arrogant, but talented, and his paintings were the best in the world. Therefore, the paintings made by Han Zezhi himself, each one is a thing that dignitaries and dignitaries compete for, Xiao Shuyong, as a literati, naturally likes this kind of thing the most, and it is an incomparable honor to try to win the championship in the middle courtyard of the academy.

When Xiao Ranjie said this, the scholars had already unfolded the scroll, and they saw that on the scroll, which was more than a foot long, was actually a magnificent landscape map.

Everyone present looked around, and the hall was suddenly filled with exclamations.

Xiao Lingxiao also looked at the painting, and couldn't help but marvel in her heart. In her previous life, when she was a killer, she also came into contact with some ancient and modern Chinese and foreign artworks, most of which were famous paintings, but it was the first time she had seen such an imposing and magnificent feeling when she saw it.

Xiao Shuyong quickly got up and stepped forward to take a closer look at the painting, and after reading it once, he was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth. Such a masterpiece is worthy of Han Zezhi's great effort. Such a masterpiece will surely be priceless in the future.

Xiao Shuyong looked at it again and again, and then asked the scholar to carefully re-roll the scroll and take it down.

"Congratulations to the Second Son's Academy for winning the championship, and congratulations to Xiao Cheng for winning a masterpiece for a thousand years." The four princes took the opportunity to toast, Xiao Shuyong and Xiao Ranjie both smiled, everyone raised their glasses and drank together, and the family banquet became a little more lively.

After three rounds of drinking, Xiao Ranjie came to Xiao Lingxiao with a wine glass, swept the floor, and said to Xiao Lingxiao with a smile, "In the past, the second brother was young and ignorant, and I was negligent to the eldest sister, but later I heard in the academy that the eldest sister came back from the dead, and the second brother has been worried. Helplessly, the second brother has not yet come out, and there is no way to send any congratulatory gifts to the eldest sister, today I will toast the eldest sister with a glass of wine, and I hope that the eldest sister will not ignore the past suspicions, and will interact more with my younger brothers and sisters in the future, so as not to regenerate the estrangement between our sisters and brothers. ”

Everyone in the hall was originally talking in a low voice, but after hearing Xiao Ranjie's words, everyone quieted down, waiting for Xiao Lingxiao to respond.

Xiao Lingxiao looked at Xiao Ranjie's face full of smiles, as if he was very sincere, and couldn't help sneering in his heart, thinking that Xiao Ranjie's kung fu was first-class, and after biting back in front of the old lady and everyone in the inner house, he came to this set again today. What young and ignorant? Back then, when she punched and bullied her blind and dumb sister to death, could she also use a sentence of being young and ignorant to fool her? If a glass of wine can erase all the humiliation of the year, Xiao Lingxiao is willing to clean him up like that, and then toast him with a glass of wine.

It's just that these thoughts only flashed through Xiao Lingxiao's mind. Xiao Ranjie's cleverness lies in the fact that he is like this in public, putting himself in a "reasonable" position, if Xiao Lingxiao accuses him on the spot, it will seem that Xiao Lingxiao is unreasonable and ignorant of the general situation.

Xiao Lingxiao raised the corners of her mouth and smiled slightly, stood up and picked up her wine glass, and said coldly, "Eldest sister, I can come back from the dead, it is a gift from God, God gave me the opportunity to come back and see you a few more times, second brother, you don't know how grateful the eldest sister is." Look at you now, you are dignified, and you are good at learning, you are really not the naughty child you were back then. What you did to the eldest sister back then, the eldest sister still remembers it clearly, and now you can toast the eldest sister with this glass of wine, and the eldest sister will understand that you have repentance. ”

Speaking of this, Xiao Lingxiao looked at Xiao Huanxue and the concubines with a wine glass, and said loudly, "A few younger brothers and sisters, the second brother Ran Jie is your role model, and you will learn more from Ran Jie in the future." ”

After saying this, Xiao Lingxiao smiled brightly and drank all the wine in the cup.

Xiao Ranjie stood there with a wine glass and was stunned for a long time, he never thought that Xiao Lingxiao would use his strength to return his words. What does it mean to repent? Doesn't that make it clear that he's doing something wrong? This woman who is inferior to pigs and dogs even put him high and gave the rest of the sisters and brothers a silent slap...... It's just ...... It's just hateful!

"What? Isn't the second brother too strong to drink? Then it doesn't hurt if you don't drink this glass of wine. Eldest sister, I'm not such a stingy person, and the second brother's body matters. Xiao Lingxiao looked at Xiao Ranjie, whose face was flushed with anger, and added with a smile.

Xiao Ranjie couldn't help but shiver when he saw that although Xiao Lingxiao had a smile on his face, his eyes were as cold as an ice cave. He gritted his teeth, drank the wine, and then bowed his hand to Xiao Lingxiao and returned to his seat.

After sitting firmly, Xiao Ranjie suddenly found that the eldest lady in the distance seemed to be slashing him with her eyes, Xiao Ranjie knew that her mother would not let her provoke Xiao Lingxiao. He was not happy in his heart, and when he glanced at Xiao Huanxue again, he didn't expect Xiao Huanxue's cold face to be a little disappointed. Xiao Ranjie couldn't help but get angry, and thought to himself, he was just taken advantage of by Xiao Lingxiao for a while, why did they think that I, Xiao Ranjie, couldn't fight Xiao Lingxiao? Hum! I want you to know how many means I Xiao Ranjie has!

Thinking of this, Xiao Ranjie gave a look to the scholar behind him, and the scholar understood and quietly retreated.

Not long after, suddenly a maid with a fresh face came to Xiao Lingxiao's side, and was immediately blocked by Bao Rong'er. The maid looked frightened, handed a note to Bao Rong'er, and then fled with a smoke. Bao Rong'er inexplicably handed the note to Xiao Lingxiao, Xiao Lingxiao opened the note and looked at it, and saw a few neat small words written on it: Urgent, begging to see, waiting outside the hospital.

Xiao Lingxiao couldn't help frowning and glanced at the four princes after reading this note, but at this time, the four princes seemed to be talking about the war with Xiao Shuyong, and they didn't notice that Xiao Lingxiao looked over.

Xiao Lingxiao secretly thought to herself, could it be that this note was sent by the fourth prince? If it was in the past, Xiao Lingxiao might not have paid attention to this thing, but today Xiao Lingxiao wanted to ask the fourth prince about the matter of Chufu Building that he mentioned last time. I thought it would be inconvenient to talk to him alone, but I didn't expect that there would be an opportunity in front of me.

Merely......

Xiao Lingxiao looked around at everyone, thinking in her heart, is this note really sent by the fourth prince?

After a while, Xiao Lingxiao got up and left the table, but it didn't take long for her to come back again.

Xiao Lingxiao's face was gloomy, and as soon as she sat down, she saw the fourth prince get rid of Xiao Shuyong and come over with a wine glass.

"Lingxiao, I haven't seen you for many days, I am very concerned about you...... You...... Why is your face bad? Isn't it uncomfortable? The fourth prince's concern for Xiao Lingxiao was beyond words, but Xiao Lingxiao was not moved at all, she glanced at the Xiao family in this hall, snorted coldly, and thought to herself, Sure enough, someone set a trap for me......
