Chapter 255 Is this something a human can say?

The Minister of Works was flattered and responded immediately, inviting him to sit in the main seat.

"No need, there are still some things to deal with in the mansion..." Xiao Lingyu was about to decline politely, but suddenly caught a glimpse of a familiar figure in his peripheral vision.

"..." He paused and changed his words: "But there is no hurry, we can always wait until the ceremony is over, so there is no need to sit in the main seat, the Minister can go and entertain others."

The Minister of Works nodded hesitantly, and seeing the direction he was walking, he understood.

Sitting there were He Yanting and Jiang Zhiyu's family.

Seeing Xiao Lingyu coming, Xu Yanli and Tan Shujing were about to stand up, but Xiao Lingyu said first: "Grand Tutor, Madam Grand Tutor, there is no need to be so polite."

He picked up the wine glass and poured a glass for Xu Yanli himself: "I was grateful for the teachings of my teacher when I was young, and I have always remembered them in my heart. Now that my teacher's innocence has been cleared, I am very comforted."

Xu Yanli took it and his tone softened slightly: "It is a matter of the past. Your Highness the Crown Prince does not need to mention it again."

He was still very pleased with his student. When he was framed, no one dared to speak for him. Only Xiao Lingyu knelt in front of the Golden Throne Hall all night.

Thinking of the past, Xu Yanli's eyes were full of memories. Xiao Lingyu chuckled and stopped talking. His eyes turned to He Yanting on the side: "What has Yanting been doing these days? Why doesn't he come to my house and play chess with me?"

He Yanting said softly: "Your Highness the Crown Prince, I have been busy with official duties recently and I really can't spare the time."

"Business is more important," Xiao Lingyu sighed with regret, and his eyes fell on Jiang Zhiyu who was enjoying the feast on the side.

"Mr. Jiang Shidu, I haven't seen you for a few days. You look good."

"Thank you for the compliment, Your Highness the Crown Prince."

Xiao Lingyu: "..."

Was he complimenting?

She went to rest, but she was hired by the emperor to do hard labor. Not only did she have to investigate the affairs of Emperor Lu Daizong, but also the affairs of the Empress Dowager. When the emperor asked about it, she had to play dumb and knew a little but not much.

He had slept for less than five hours in the past few days!

Xiao Lingyu looked at her with resentment, as if he was looking at a scumbag who abandoned his wife and children.

Jiang Zhiyu: "???"

He Yanting's eyes moved between them, narrowing his eyes slightly, his eyes deep in thought.

The auspicious time arrived, and the bride and groom began to worship in the hall. Until now, no one had seen the emperor and the empress, and everyone's eyes were a little confused. When the ceremony started, their hearts were as clear as a mirror.

No wonder the son of a mere minister of the Ministry of Works was able to marry the princess, it turned out that the princess had fallen out of favor.

How much help can a princess who has fallen out of favor bring to her husband's family?

The young gentlemen no longer had the envy they had at the beginning when they looked at the groom.

The princess was helped by her maids to the bridal chamber, while the third assistant minister entertained the guests in the hall.

[Oh, scumbag! ]

The men at the same table: "..."

Xiao Lingyu asked He Yanting with a questioning look: What's going on?

Without waiting for He Yanting to reply, Jiang Zhiyu's inner voice said:

[He and Miss Xu are in love with each other, but it doesn't stop him from marrying the princess. He also said that he would keep Miss Xu as his concubine, and she is the only one in his heart...]

[Listen, listen, is this something a human can say? ! ]

As early as the day when the emperor summoned the Qintian Supervisor to discuss the wedding date, Jiang Zhiyu had dinner with the emperor in the Yangxin Palace, and then went straight to the residence of the Minister of Works to see the third assistant minister.

After hearing her intention, the Third Assistant Minister did not speak for a while.

Jiang Zhiyu sipped her tea.

After all, the Third Assistant Minister was the original owner's only friend for more than ten years. Since he had taken over the original owner's body, he would help if he could.

Moreover, Jiang Zhiyu had a vague guess in her heart.

This body was too compatible with her, as if they were originally one person.

Jiang Zhiyu suppressed this guess in his heart. At the same time, the Third Assistant Minister also spoke: "I have received the imperial edict. Disobeying the order is a capital crime."

"You don't have to worry about these. You just need to tell me whether you want to marry the princess or Miss Xu."

There was another silence. The Third Assistant Minister sighed and said helplessly: "Of course I want to marry Miss Xu, but the imperial edict has been received. If Miss Xu is willing to wait for me, I can keep her as a concubine, and then take her into the mansion after a period of time." Anyway,

it is common for men to have three wives and four concubines. If he was marrying a princess in a formal way, and the princess was jealous, he naturally could not take a concubine. But now that the princess is marrying down, he just needs to grasp the degree. Even if she is the princess, she has no right to control him.

Hearing this, Jiang Zhiyu's pupils shrank, and she looked at him in disbelief: "How dare you."

Third Assistant Minister: "???"

"You are about to get married, but you still want Miss Xu to wait for you, and you still want her to be a concubine? Do you think that being a concubine is an honor for her?"

Third Assistant Minister looked at her in confusion: "Of course."

A commoner woman can become the concubine of the prince consort, and can even be a concubine in the future, isn't it an honor for her?

Jiang Zhiyu took a deep breath, no.

My uncle can tolerate it, but my aunt can't!

She rounded her arm and slapped the Third Assistant Minister so hard that he turned around on the spot, with stars in his eyes.

The Third Assistant Minister spat out a mouthful of blood, and there were two white things mixed in the blood. He didn't look closely, but covered his face and stared at her blankly.

It was obvious that he was stunned by the slap.

His cheeks bulged visibly. Jiang Zhiyu didn't want to waste words with him any more, so he snorted softly: "Now you realize that being thick-skinned is useless. It still hurts when you slap me."

Third Assistant Minister: "..."

Jiang Zhiyu regained his thoughts from his memories. Third Assistant Minister also walked to their table. When he saw Jiang Zhiyu, he felt a slight pain on his face.

Jiang Zhiyu slapped him too hard, and there are still fingerprints on his cheeks. In order to prevent others from misunderstanding, Third Assistant Minister asked the maid in the room to apply a thick layer of powder on him today.

His face is now frighteningly pale.

Moreover, he only realized after she left that two of his teeth were knocked out by her!

Now he doesn't even dare to open his mouth wide, for fear of being seen.

If the Third Assistant Minister had some inexplicable feelings for Jiang Zhiyu at the beginning, now that slap in the face, there is no trace of them left.

His chest rose and fell, and he looked away and looked at Xiao Lingyu: "Your Highness."

Xiao Lingyu did not have a good impression of the Third Assistant Minister because of Jiang Zhiyu's inner voice, and his tone of voice was also light: "Congratulations, congratulations."

The two of them simply clinked their glasses, and the Third Assistant Minister also saw that the people at this table did not like him very much. After toasting one by one, he did not say anything more and walked to the next table.

Jiang Sulan, who was sitting next to Jiang Zhiyu, snorted disdainfully: "Scumbag!"

This word, or she just heard Zhiyu's inner voice, is a very appropriate description!

Others: "!!!" Everyone

at this table can hear the inner voice, and when they heard Jiang Sulan say it so directly, they all had some surprise in their eyes.
