Nanshan chrysanthemum is well conditioned, and the initial results have been seen, but the flowers and leaves are still not growing, and I am afraid that it will not last on the day of the chrysanthemum banquet.

Duan Rubian sat on the side of the desk and practiced calligraphy, his slender wrist outlined the last stroke, and the flowing words looked extremely bold.

There was a knock on the door, and then a slender figure slowly walked in, she looked bad, her steps were fluttering, she came to Duan Rubian, and sat down slowly

"Are you feeling better?" Duan Rubian handed Duan Xuan a cup of tea and asked with a smile, Duan Xuan lowered her eyebrows, and her voice was hoarse, "Much better......"

After a pause, she looked a little anxious, "Thank you...... Send someone to save me."

"I just want to know ......" Duan Rubian nodded on the table, "Why didn't they kill you?"

Duan Xuan coughed a few times, trying to hide the panic in her eyes, "I gave them the jade pendant that my father gave them before entering the palace, and promised them benefits, and they ...... Just let me go."

She can't lie very much, Duan Rubian knows it in her heart, and she doesn't pursue it, she smiles peacefully, "It's okay, Su'er has been waiting for you for a long time, you can go first"

Duan Xuan nodded in response, saluted and withdrew, the room was silent, Duan Rubian frowned and pulled out the note hidden in his sleeve, his eyelids jumped.

Night

Duan Xuan tossed and turned and couldn't sleep, so she simply sat up, put on a simple dress, and saw that there was no one around, so she quickly left.

The palace at night was very cold, Duan Xuan kept warm, and the cold wind around him blew, scraping the back of his neck, and a chill hit.

Unknowingly, she was a little lost, Duan Xuan tried to go around a few times, but couldn't find her way back, so she had to choose a long pavilion to sit down, the moonlight was like water, bright and transparent.

Duan Xuan unconsciously felt that her eyes were pantothenic, and she actually thought of Ning who had died not long ago, and she had mixed feelings in her heart.

"Isn't it afraid that the girl walks around alone at will at such a late moonlight?"

There was a call from behind him, Duan Xuan was stunned and turned around to cover his face, only then did he see the man's face clearly, and his heart jumped.

The man folded a white fan, wearing a purple brocade robe, fluttering in the wind, but also handsome, Duan Xuan covered his face, leaned over slightly, and his voice was crisp, "I can't sleep for a long night, and I have a fate with my son today"

The man patted his fan and laughed, "It's fate, the girl doesn't know what her name is?"

Duan Xuan's eyes flashed with a fierce color, but he said gently, "Pingshui meets, if you have a fate, you will tell your son" After saying that, he trotted away, and there were two more colored clouds on his ears.

The boy didn't admire, and his voice fluttered in the wind, "It's a wonderful person, if you can fill the harem, it will be my blessing......"

The event will be held again on an auspicious day, this time in a different location, in the Imperial Garden, where everyone drinks and chats, and has endless fun.

It's not just women, the princes who don't see each other a few times on weekdays are here, the most eye-catching are those few, there is an empty seat under the emperor, that is the position of the current prime minister, this person is not small, quite talented, but he usually doesn't often appear at this kind of banquet, and he can't see a few faces, Duan Rubian only remembers his eyes, with a hint of charm in his calmness, which is on par with that person.

Duan Xuan was unwell and could not attend, Duan Rubian sat alone in his seat and drank, glass after glass, and he was not drunk, which surprised many people.

"It's not good to drink too much wine" Suddenly, she snatched her wine glass with her jade hand, poured the wine into the grass on the side, and smiled at Duan Rufang, Duan Rufang was slightly stunned, that smile was actually beautiful.

"My surname is Chu, my name is Chu Jiaoren" Chu Jiaoren nodded at Duan Rufang, reported to the house first, and Duan Rubian replied with a light smile, "Duan Rufang"

Chu Jiaoren had never seen or even heard of Duan Rufang in his previous life, but he only knew that this young lady of the Chu family was very arrogant and did not appear often, but when she saw this, the rumors really couldn't be believed.

"I've heard of you" Chu Jiaoren said with a smile, "My uncle likes you very much, his surname is Gu, every time he came to my house for a while, he had to talk about it, I wanted to see you for a long time"

Duan Rufang was slightly stunned, she didn't expect Gu Shen and Chu Jiaoren to have such a relationship, and her smile was a little vague, "The chrysanthemum case didn't help Master Gu much, I'm ashamed."

"No" Chu Jiaoren still smiled, "My uncle knows that you have a hard time, and he is not so narrow-minded"

Duan Rubian laughed self-deprecatingly, "That's why I spend the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain."

The two looked at each other and chuckled, lifting their cups and touching each other, so uncomfortable.

"The Prime Minister has arrived—"

When everyone was rejoicing, a sharp voice sounded, Duan Rubian and Chu Jiaoren couldn't help but look not far away, the main thing was a red robe, the belt was very loosely tied, and the loose shoulders had a sense of bohemianism, the wine glass in Duan Rubian's hand was slightly tilted, and a touch of surprise flashed in his eyes, the man who could wear red so fascinated was nothing more than him and Shu Jinyu.

"The ministers have seen the prime minister" The officials knelt down and kowtowed, and walked straight to the position and sat down, raising his hand to signal everyone to get up, his arrival made the atmosphere of the audience a little nervous.

Wanyan swept the audience drunk, and suddenly fixed his eyes on the most remote table, where a woman in white lowered her head to drink, but her eyes glanced at him intentionally or unintentionally, but that cold face really couldn't make people conclude that she had the same purpose as those wolf-like women.

"Rufang, you have watched Prime Minister Yan for so long, it won't be a ......" Chu Jiaoren said half-jokingly, Duan Rubian was not in a hurry or annoyed, just smiled, and his wishful thinking was loud.

"The prime minister's status is noble, and you want to eat swan meat as a concubine" The woman at the table next to her sneered, picked up a grape and threw it into her mouth, chewing it fiercely, and seemed to be a little unconvinced.

Duan Rubian thought about it carefully, and then remembered that this woman was Shi Qiao's friend, Zhang Mo'er, a girl from the Zhang family, who seemed to have been engaged to a prince and was dismissed, no wonder she hated Duan Rubian so much.

Duan Rubian smiled lightly, "You're right, fortunately, I haven't had a marriage contract with Prime Minister since I was a child, otherwise if I am withdrawn, I will lose face......

Zhang Mo'er was so angry that she lifted the table and got up, "Duan Rufang, what do you mean!"

Her voice attracted the attention of the audience, Wan Yan knocked on the chair, staring at Duan Rubian with deep eyes, as if to see her through, Duan Rubian ignored his gaze, pretending to be frightened and pulled Chu Jiaoren to the side

"Why is Miss Zhang so rude? Today's event, if she is seen by the Queen Mother, won't Miss Zhang even be able to save her life?"

"You slut, who wants you to behave, you ruined Shi Qiao's face last time, and now you want to slander me again, I tell you, you don't want to think about it!"

"Miss Zhang, do you remember that your true appearance is still there?"

Zhang Mo'er gritted her teeth, "Prime Minister, don't be deceived by her, she is a poisonous woman, she set up a situation to harm Shi Qiao last time, and she wants to set up a situation to harm me today, it is simply intolerable!"

"Why are you like this, Rufang obviously didn't provoke you, it was you who spoke first, and Rufang fought back!" Chu Jiaoren's face flushed with excitement, and his hands clenched into fists, and his eyes glowed.

Zhang Mo'er smiled disdainfully: "When did I provoke?

"This ......" everyone looked at each other.

"Prime Minister, the minister was drinking happily at that time, and he didn't hear any movement," said an old minister who was sitting not far away.

"So are the ministers"

"The minister is also ......"

The people who knelt on the ground in a hurry said that they didn't hear it, Zhang Mo'er raised her head and glanced at Duan Rufang, "Prime Minister, she just deliberately framed me!"

"Hey, I didn't expect the cool atmosphere of the West to be like this" A lazy voice came from the tree behind him, Wanyan was drunk, his eyes were dark, and he saw a person wearing a black satin robe, and he went down, rolling up a fallen leaf, and the man's sword eyebrows were slightly raised, and he saluted Wanyan drunk, "I've seen the prime minister"

Wanyan was drunk and cold, and came from the next position, "Don't dare, how can you stand up to the prince of Nanchu so Dali"

Yelu Ji smiled lightly and winked at Wan Yanzui, "I said Prime Minister, I heard that this woman is sometimes willful and willful, and she can't get married, do you know?"

Zhang Mo'er's face turned crimson, "You, who do you say can't get married!"

Yeluji turned around and pretended to be innocent, "You said that Miss Duan San wants to eat swan meat, but Miss Duan San is gentle and gentle, and so on, you may be able to eat it, but your temperament, the swan meat will also scare you away as soon as it reaches your mouth......"

"Where did you come from! You dare to teach me a lesson!" Zhang Mo'er crossed her hands on her hips, completely forgetting the tone used by Wan Yanzui when he called Yelu Ji at that time, which could be regarded as respectful, Ye Lu Ji sneered, and his eyes froze

"Prime Minister, there are women in your country who are so ignorant!"

After finishing his drunken eyes, his complexion remained unchanged, and he said softly, "Come on, drag it out!"

As soon as the words fell, a group of black-clothed guards came from all directions, set up Zhang Mo'er and dragged her out of the imperial garden, she just wanted to turn around and scold, her mouth was blocked, and she could only stare at Duan Rufang angrily.

"Is the girl hurt?" Ye Lu Ji pretended to be in a relationship and turned around and asked, although Duan Rubian didn't want to answer, he still smiled lightly, "Everything is fine, thank you for your help"

"Miss Duan San is too timid, but she is a shrew, can't Miss Duan San's methods cure her?" Ye Lu Ji deliberately mentioned the high level of Duan Rubian's means, so that Wan Yan couldn't help but look at Duan Rubian a few more times, Duan Rubian scolded in his heart, and pretended to be shy and leaned down to kneel

"If you thank the prince of the world, if you are too timid, if you don't have the prince to help today, if you are afraid that there are a hundred mouths, you can't tell clearly, if you don't dislike it, you are willing to make a promise with your body......"

Now, it was Yeluji's turn to be dumbfounded, he really didn't expect Duan Rubian to be so fierce, and his smile was a little embarrassing, "Miss Duan San...... Don't joke with me anymore."

"It's good that the prince knows it's a joke" Duan Rufang's eyes changed suddenly, and he quickly got up, "I don't have any so-called means, and the prince seems to help me but belittle me when he comes up, doesn't it mean that I am greedy for vanity?"

Duan Rufang raised his head arrogantly, that appearance made the whole audience feel a little throbbing, and a trace of cunning flashed in his drunken eyes, no wonder, no wonder the man...... She does have a little bit of a sense of caring about her so much......
