First of all, the identity of the "county lord" is already very remarkable.

Normally, only the daughter of the county king in the royal family can be called the county lord.

In the early days of the founding of the Firmament Kingdom, there were a few kings of the opposite sex, but as time went by, the original kings of the opposite sex either fell into the middle of the family because there was no successor, or the emperors of the past dynasties found excuses to strip off the princes.

Up to now, except for the royal family, there is no king of the opposite sex in the Firmament Country.

In other words, in today's Firmament Country, all the county lords have royal blood flowing in their bodies!

Not to mention that Ripple is not the daughter of Xu Ji and his wife, even if she is, it is almost impossible for her to be canonized as the county lord. Even Luo Xinlan, who is the Duchess of Zhenguo, is just a first-class lady.

In particular, in front of this county lord, a title was added - Suzaku!

There are four major Zhenguo divine beasts in the Firmament State, which are - Qinglong, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, and Xuanwu.

Among them, the green dragon and the white tiger are only eligible for use by the royal family, but they have not had the titles of "green dragon" and "white tiger" for many years.

Suzaku represents the high-level martial arts family in the Firmament Country.

On Suzaku Street, most of the people who live are high-ranking military generals in the Firmament Country.

But none of these generals, including Xu Ji, the Duke of Zhenguo, who is a big man with a heavy military position, can use Suzaku as a mark for his family.

Without the canonization of the royal family, it is taboo to do so.

Therefore, as soon as the emperor's will comes out, the future family mark of the Xu family can use the Suzaku as the family mark openly!

At the same time, Xu Lianyi, a girl with an ordinary and even somewhat humble identity, suddenly had a second only to the royal princess...... Even higher than the status of some ordinary princesses!

She's the Suzaku Lord, and she's unique!

It's remarkable!

I don't dare to say that there is no one who will come later, but in the Firmament Country, it is definitely unprecedented.

Almost all of the people who can come to the Xu Mansion today are friends who were friends with friends in the Xu family's era, and the relationship is naturally not to be said. Rao is like this, there are still many people, there is a strong look of envy in their eyes, more or less, and a little bit of jealousy.

Luo Xinlan was slightly stunned at first, but in her heart, there was not much joy, but she became vigilant: The emperor suddenly showed such kindness to the Xu family, what did he want to do? Is it just because of the incident some time ago, is he compensating the Xu family? What can be done, this compensation once again ignores Xu Luo, who should really be compensated?

Ripple was also a little stunned, standing there, a little overwhelmed.

The prince smiled mildly and coughed lightly: "Lord Ripples, don't you still accept the order to thank you?"

Ripple turned her head to Luo Xinlan, obviously, the girl had no idea in her heart.

"Take the word of thanks. Luo Xinlan sighed lightly, her heart was quite complicated, it was not that she was jealous of Ripples, she had long regarded Ripples as her own daughter, but she felt that the emperor's sudden will was very intriguing and unpredictable.

Ripple glanced at Xu Luo on the side carefully, this girl who grew up in the general's mansion was not bad anywhere except for her noble background, especially her IQ. After a brief loss of consciousness, she quickly felt that this reward was a little too much.

Xu Luo looked at her with a smile on his face, his eyes full of encouragement.

I don't know why, Ripples' heart suddenly became a lot easier.

"As long as the young master is not angry, then don't be afraid!" Ripple thought to himself, and thanked him.

At this time, the prince saw the emperor on the side, walked over with a smile, nodded, and said: "Big brother, are you also here?" Recently, you haven't been to me much, a few days ago someone sent me a few good medicinal herbs, which were transported from the south, and they are still alive, and it is useless to put them with me, and I will ask someone to send them to you when I go back." ”

Huangfu Chongzhi smiled: "The prince is too polite, how can I be embarrassed to ask for the prince's things." ”

"Big brother, where is this, we are brothers, what is polite to our younger brother. The crown prince glanced at the eldest prince and said with some displeasure: "Don't shirk, this is just a little heart between brothers." ”

Huangfu Chongzhi could only smile bitterly and nodded.

Immediately, the prince looked at Xu Luo again, but there was a faint apology flashing in those gentle eyes, and he walked over, looked at Xu Luo and chuckled: "Xiao Luo, I haven't seen you for a long time." ”

"I've seen His Royal Highness the Prince!" Xu Luo bowed to the prince without being humble or arrogant.

"Alas, I haven't seen you for a long time, and you and I have become a little rusty, before, you always called me Brother Chongxi. The prince sighed softly, then raised his head, looked at Xu Luo and said seriously: "There are many things that I can't do now, but sooner or later, I believe that the people of the imperial capital will know a different second son of the Xu family." ”

Today's occasion can be regarded as semi-public, and His Royal Highness the Prince's words are almost equivalent to expressing his position!

As for whether this statement represents the royal family or himself, it is a matter of opinion.

At least, people can't tell how much he likes Xu Luo from the current emperor.

The canonization of the Xu family twice has nothing to do with Xu Luo.

Xu Luo glanced at the prince, smiled slightly, and said, "Respect and humility cannot be abolished, but Xu Luo wants to thank His Royal Highness the prince for his care first." ”

The prince nodded, his eyes full of encouragement, and did not say anything more.

Even Liu Feng, the little fat man who hates the royal family the most, has to admit that this guy's personable, generous and gentle appearance does make people feel very comfortable, not so annoying.

The people who participated in the banquet in the Xu Mansion became more enthusiastic because of the arrival of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Xu Lianyi being named the lord of Suzaku County.

The little jealousy that arose at that moment just now has already been buried in my heart.

Emperor Chrysostom said that in the future, Xu Lianyi will be a genuine county lord, and she looks like a flower and jade, such a girl is an absolute sought-after commodity in the imperial capital, which noble young master doesn't want to marry such a girl?

Therefore, the women, who were already very enthusiastic, became even more enthusiastic at this time.

What's even more surprising is yet to come.

Just as the prince picked up his wine glass and was about to toast everyone with a glass of wine before leaving, outside, the high-pitched and loud voice of the door came again.

"Fengyue landlord, the phoenix has arrived! Send a set of deep-sea coral screens, a set of blue house jewelry, and a car of rouge gouache...... Congratulations to the Xu family for accepting a daughter, and congratulations to the lord of Suzaku County ......"

At the originally lively banquet, there was a brief gap again.

It is said that those who are qualified to appear here today are either rich or expensive, and they will not be easily frightened.

But what happened today is full of evil.

First, the crown prince represented the royal family, and suddenly came to congratulate, and the emperor inexplicably canonized an unprecedented Suzaku county lord. has shocked everyone a lot.

But who would have thought that this banquet was only halfway through, and the Phoenix Mansion, the owner of Fengyue Mansion who was famous in the imperial capital and had an incomparably mysterious identity, actually came uninvited!

That's not all, what really shocked everyone was these congratulatory gifts sent by Phoenix.

Even the crown prince, with a look of shock on his face, gently took back the wine glass that had been placed on his lips and put it back on the table.

"What does the owner of the Phoenix Mansion have to do with the Xu family......? It's a little too big, isn't it?"

"God, deep-sea corals are extremely expensive in themselves, and a set of screens made of deep-sea corals ...... This thing is already a treasure, right?

"I have liked the jewelry of Bilanju for a long time, but it is really too expensive, any jade hairpin costs hundreds of taels of gold......"

"I also use Rouge Xuan's gouache, but every time I buy it box by box, just like that, my lord said that I was a loser woman, you look at people, I actually sent a car over!"

After a short blank, everyone at the banquet was talking, especially today, more women came, this time, the envy and jealousy in the eyes of these women were much more obvious.

Jewelry rouge gouache ...... A woman's favorite!

Luo Xinlan was really a little shocked, she didn't even know who the Dao Phoenix was coming for!

Only Huangfu rushed to a few of Xu Luo's brothers, squeezing their eyebrows at Xu Luo on the side, obviously, they thought that the phoenix was coming at Xu Luo.

Xu Luo had an innocent expression, he didn't believe that the phoenix was coming for him.

Ripple had just experienced the most memorable thing in his life, so he reacted quickly, and hurriedly took the two maids to greet him.

"The slave family is uninvited, I hope not to disturb the nobles, the slave family will accompany you first. "Wearing a red dress, all the pieces entered, like a shock, elegant and calm, the phoenix's voice was lazy, revealing a charming but not demonic atmosphere.

Even if many ladies during the banquet didn't like the place of Fengyue Tower very much, they had to admit that it was difficult for them to hate this woman in red.

It seems that she is born with an affinity that makes people can't help but want to be close to her.

Crown Prince Fu Chongxi's eyes lit up, and then he smiled faintly: "Phoenix girl can come, I believe everyone will welcome it." ”

"His Royal Highness is also here, the phoenix is rude!" the phoenix said lightly, lifting her skirt, bending her knees slightly, and saluting the prince.

"Phoenix girl doesn't have to be polite, Lone is here today, and she is also an ordinary guest. The prince said with a smile, no more words about wanting to leave.

Phoenix walked up to Ripples and said with a smile: "The county lord is really beautiful today, Phoenix sent some small gifts, I hope the county lord can like it." ”

"The owner of the Phoenix Mansion is so polite, the gift is so valuable, Ripples deserves it. "I don't know why, Ripples doesn't like the phoenix a little, for no reason, there is a little resistance in my heart.

Phoenix smiled, didn't say much, walked towards Huangfu Chongzhi and their table, obviously walked to Xu Luo's side, but looked at Huangfu Chongzhi and the others and asked, "I'm sitting here, will it affect you?"

"No, no, it's too ......late for us to welcome," the little fat man Liu Feng hurriedly said, and wiped the chair with his sleeve with a flattering face.

Sui Yan rolled his eyes, obviously very dissatisfied with a guy like the little fat man who forgot his friends.

Xu Jie has no expression, in his heart, playing iron and sharpening swords is far more attractive than a wine woman.

Huangfu Chongzhi smiled: "Welcome." ”

The crown prince sitting next to Huangfu Chongzhi had a strange expression, but he didn't say anything.

Today's banquet, as he himself said, is just an ordinary guest, so he doesn't have too many thoughts about the ripples who take the initiative to sit over.

Instead, he glanced at Xu Luo twice, and said in his heart: Could it be that the rumor is true? Fenghuang, the owner of Fengyue Tower...... The attitude towards the second son of the Xu family is not quite the same as that of others......? It's kind of interesting.

Xu Luo couldn't help but pout, and said in his heart, "Don't you sit there too......?" What is she here for?
