Bai Ziling gave the untouched pastry in front of him, along with the plate, to Su Juan.

Su Juan had never expected that she could have such a pleasant conversation with Bai Ziling, and that he even gave her food. Now, looking at this fair-faced young master, she immediately felt a little pity for him, [What a handsome young master...]

Song Qianhang's heart tightened and his hand holding the wine glass clenched slightly.

Xie Xun was surprised; he liked her! ?

All the ministers pricked up their ears and glanced towards Su Juan.

[From now on, you are my Su Juan's biological brother. I will protect you from now on. Who dares to bully you?]

Wuyang Hou's smile froze on his face: "......"

Everyone's eyes suddenly became sympathetic when they looked at Bai Ziling. "You have feelings for me, but I'm not interested. I just want to treat you as my younger brother."

Song Qianhang loosened his grip on the wine glass, lowered his eyes and took a sip, feeling relieved. Seeing Su Juan smile, the corners of his mouth also curled up slightly.

Liu Xuan was right opposite him. He couldn't hear what Su Juan was thinking. He looked towards Su Juan from time to time. When he saw Bai Ziling and Su Juan chatting and laughing, he just lowered his eyes and drank, and didn't seem to react at all.

But Liu Miaoqing, who was familiar with him, could clearly sense his emotional changes and became nervous.

It’s just that Liu Xuan always seems to have no emotions when he speaks or does things.

Knowing what Su Juan was thinking, Bai Ziling was stunned. He didn't expect Su Juan would want to treat him as a younger brother.

His parents died in the battlefield when he was very young. He has been following his grandfather since he was young. There are not many people of the same age around him, and he is unwilling to interact with them. He knows that those people look down on him in private and often call him a cripple and a bastard.

But Su Juan was a better person than he had imagined. She would speak for the general's family and she did not look down on him because of his lame leg like others did.

She even treated the man she first met as her own brother.

"What does Miss Su do on a daily basis?"

"I usually handle official business, and if I have free time, I will go to the study or Jingyuan. There are many people there, and I like to go there." Su Juan thought for a while, [I did go to the study, so it's not a lie. ]

In front of such a handsome young man, she still wanted to have some face.

Xie Xun almost burst out laughing. Study? Jingyuan?

Su Juan went to the study because of Shen Ruhui's storybook, and was forced to go to Jingyuan. She hadn't been there for half a month, but she still had the nerve to say that she loved going there.

Bai Ziling's eyes were bright. "I also like to go to the study, but I have never been to Jingyuan. Miss Su, I wonder what kind of place it is?"

"Is it the same as Baihua Tower?"

"Cough! Cough-cough cough!" Su Juan coughed violently a few times and was choked by the pastries.

[How did this young master know about Baihua Tower? ]

She looked at Bai Ziling in disbelief, [He looks so innocent, could it be that he also likes to visit Baihua Tower? ]

Everyone also looked at Bai Ziling, wondering, they had never heard that Wu Yuanhou's grandson loved to visit Baihua Tower.

Su Juan's eyes were a little complicated, "How do you know about Baihua Tower?"

Bai Ziling's eyes were bright. "I heard that you often go to Baihua Tower."

Su Juan: "......" [Which bastard is spreading rumors about me? ]

Su Juan felt that her reputation was innocently damaged, but she said calmly, "It must be someone outside who made it up. I never go to such a messy place."

The ministers looked at her with contempt, and none of them wanted to expose her.

Everyone in the capital knows that Su Juan loves to visit Baihua Tower. She is almost as fond of it as the little playboy Xie Xun.

Su Juan: "You must not go to that kind of place. Jingyuan is suitable for you. People often hold poetry gatherings and drink tea there. If you are interested, you can go and take a look."

Bai Ziling nodded. He believed everything Su Juan said. "Besides Jingyuan and the study, where else does Miss Su like to go?"

"I don't like to go out much on weekdays, so I just stay at home."

Su Juan was eating cakes. Because of Bai Ziling, few people came to talk to her, so it was much quieter. She smiled and said to Bai Ziling, "It's too polite for you to call me Miss Su. I'm older than you. If you don't mind me taking advantage of you, you can call me sister."

[Calling her sister is so nice, it sounds good. It doesn't sound like calling her a skinned man, it sounds so ugly.] Su Juan was disgusted.

All the ministers present didn't even bother to look at her. Yuanwailang was really shameless. He asked the grandson of Marquis Wu Yuan to call you sister. Marquis Wu Yuan was still there. How dare you do that?

Bai Ziling felt a subtle emotion in his heart, and he wanted to get closer to Su Juan. He looked at Su Juan and said, "Sister Su, if I miss you in the future, can I go to the Su family to find you?"

Su Juan smiled and said, "Of course, but I have been living in the Duke's Mansion recently. If you want to find me, I'm afraid you have to come to the Duke's Mansion."

Bai Ziling: "Sister Su, are you talking about the Duke of Ping's Mansion?"

Su Juan nodded: [You really know how to call me sister. Your little mouth is so sweet. You are so well behaved. ]

Everyone was so disgusted that they all wanted to cover their ears. All the advantages of Bai Ziling were taken by Yuanwailang.

Wu Yuanhou's expression froze on his old face: "......"

He was still thinking about proposing marriage to the Su family, but it turned out that his grandson was already calling the girl sister or brother.

Liu Miaoqing looked at Su Juan and couldn't help laughing. Ah Juan, what a joke! Bai Ziling is going to inherit the title in the future anyway, so why is he teasing him?

Just then, the emperor and empress came together.

Everyone below stood up and knelt, and the old emperor sat steadily on the throne, his face showing that he was obviously in a good mood.

From the moment the queen appeared, her eyes fell on the people below, looking for Su Juan's figure. The moment those people stood up, her heart settled down.

The little girl just sat there with only the food in her eyes, just like she had been when she first saw him.

The queen's heart was warm and her eyes were kind. Fortunately, no one noticed anything strange about her.

The old emperor's birthday banquet was excellent, whether it was food or singing and dancing. Su Juan was in high spirits and wanted to drink some wine, but what she poured out of the wine pot was tea.

She frowned immediately and whispered to Bai Ziling, "Ziling, is the wine in your jug ​​also tea?"

Bai Ziling was slightly stunned, "What kind of tea?"

Shouldn't the wine jug be filled with wine?

Hearing him say this, Su Juan had no idea what was going on. She lowered her head and drew circles on the table with her fingers, "Old man, on such a happy day, you didn't even let me drink wine. You took it out for me. You are the king of a country, but you are too stingy!"

The old emperor snorted and drank his wine without even glancing at Su Juan.

What an old thing, how stingy, how mean!

I am clearly doing this for your own good. A little girl who drinks so much every day isn't afraid of being bullied.

The ministers all knew that His Majesty was afraid that Yuanwailang would lose his composure after drinking and scold him again, and maybe even make him climb onto the throne.

But she didn't expect that His Majesty would be so cautious that even on such a happy day, he only gave her tea.

Bai Ziling hesitated for a moment, then quietly handed his wine jug to Su Juan and placed it on her desk...

Su Juan was immediately happy, [As expected of Wu Yuanhou's grandson, he gave me the wine, how generous! ]

[Old man, do you want to fight Bai Ziling twenty times? ]

Old Emperor: “…”
