Chapter 207: Opening Banquet



Ever since she found out about Xie Xun in the palace that day, Su Juan would stare at Xie Xun from time to time. She would stare at him while he was eating, while he was walking, and everywhere, as if she wanted to stare a hole through him.

On this day, Su Juan held a banquet at her new mansion. Xie Xun swaggered into the mansion carrying gifts. Before he could even unfold the fan in his hand, Su Juan stared at him, making him feel uneasy.

Su Juan thought, I never expected that Xie Xun's small body could carry so much.

Xie Xun stared: "???" What small body! ?

How come I have such a strong body, but my body has become so small?

If your eyesight is not good, go to the palace and ask the imperial physician to take a look!

When Liu Xuan and his companions arrived, they saw Xie Xun coming into the mansion in a huff, as if he was pissed off. "What happened to Master Xie?"

Su Juan pretended to be dumbfounded: "I don't know."

There were many guests coming and going in the princess's mansion. All those who were on good terms with Su Juan came, and many people who wanted to curry favor with the princess's mansion came uninvited, most of them holding the invitations they had received at the Su's mansion that day.

Su Juan had everyone welcomed into her house one by one. As long as anyone entered her house, they were all guests.

Looking at the little fat sheep waiting to be slaughtered, her mouth is watering. They are so fat.

The guests who heard this looked around, confused, "?"

Mei He was a person who would forget his principles when he saw profit. He had been unable to get any favors in Prince Jing's mansion and had repeatedly asked for help but to no avail. Now that he saw Princess Jinyang had put aside their past grudges and sent him an invitation, he naturally wanted to surrender.

Seeing Mei Ying, Su Juan stepped forward and helped her up, saying with a smile, "We are all good friends, Sister Mei, there is no need to bow."

"Your Highness."

But, does Ajuan really want to use such a villain?

It was because of the Queen that Mei Ying and even the Mei family suffered repeated setbacks that day. Now she wants to please Su Juan and borrow the title of Princess Jinyang.

Thinking of what her father said, that she must not offend Princess Jinyang, and it would be best if she could make friends with her, she collected her thoughts, and seeing that everyone around her was looking at her, she also pretended to be friendly, "You are now the princess of the dynasty, how can I be rude to you?"

These people were talking at once, and for a moment, Mei Ying became the most popular girl present.

Xie Xun on the side snorted and still disliked Cai Yi.

Mei Ying knew clearly in her heart that none of the people in front of her were sincere, but she was a person who cared a lot about her reputation, so she was very pleased with the compliments from these people and responded with a smile.

Mei Ying's teeth were about to break. She really didn't know why God was so partial to her!

If her parents hadn't forced her to come, she would never have set foot here no matter what.

&t;div tentadv>No matter how much she thought in her heart, no matter how angry she was, when she saw Su Juan, she still saluted with a smile, "Mei Ying greets Her Royal Highness Princess Jinyang."

That day in the palace, Mei Ying was neglected and there were many rumors. They didn't want to displease the noble and be implicated, so they all distanced themselves from Mei Ying, but they didn't expect what they saw today.

"Why is your waist so thin? My dear sister, you have to teach me."

What fertilizer?

When the people around saw this, they all had their own thoughts in their minds. Cai Yi had just been promoted not long after Su Juan was named Princess Jinyang. Anyone with a discerning eye could see that His Majesty was selecting someone capable for the princess.

Su Juan led Cai Yi to sit at the main table, which made Xie Xun jealous. He just disliked Su Juan for staring at him, but now he felt very jealous.

Su Juan was doing what Minister Mei wanted and was deliberately trying to get close to Mei Ying. At the same time, she was also trying to completely alienate Minister Mei and Prince Jing's Mansion.

Liu Xuan, who was standing by, was not surprised at all and just lowered his eyes to drink tea.

"I haven't congratulated the young master yet that day."

Su Juan turned around and saw that it was Cai Yi. She greeted him with a smile and personally led him to the mansion, "Master Cai, please come in quickly."

"Your lip balm looks really nice today, where did you buy it?"

Liu Miaoqing on the side didn't say anything. She had guessed what Su Juan wanted to do. Mei Ying was a person who cared a lot about her reputation. She had never left the house since the incident in the palace. This time, she was probably forced to come by Minister Mei and his wife.

Mei Ying sneered in her heart, these people were really powerful.

As soon as Mei Ying sat down, many people came over and said, "Sister Mei, it's been a while since we last met. I see you look a lot prettier now than before."

The people around looked over. They never expected that Miss Mei was so close to Princess Jinyang.

Su Juan asked nonchalantly, "Does this matter?"

When they saw what happened to me in the palace that day, they all distanced themselves from me and took advantage of me. Now that they see that I am on good terms with the princess, they come up to me eagerly.

Cai Yi is undoubtedly one of them, and now he is having a very pleasant conversation with the princess, and it is obvious that they are attracted to each other.

Su Juan said, "You and I can just call each other sisters. Don't worry about those empty formalities. They are just for others to see."

Cai Yi, on the other hand, was respectful and polite to him, "Thank you, Your Highness."

When Cai Yanzheng was appointed as the Prince's Junior Tutor, he was already 36 years old, but Cai Yi is now only 28 years old, and is even better than his teacher.

Among the younger generation, Cai Yi is the most outstanding. My vision is really good.

Cai Yi also knew that Xie Xun still bore a grudge against him, but he really had no intention of targeting him. They were classmates when they were young, and seeing that Xie Xun was so useless, he naturally felt sorry for him. He wrote a few articles just to make him sober up, but he didn't expect that someone would exaggerate the matter and cause a disturbance to the emperor.

When she saw Su Juan, she almost hated her to death. Ever since she was beaten by the Queen in the palace that day, no one came to propose marriage to her. When her mother went to Liu's house, Mrs. Liu also politely refused.

No matter how much the queen did, it was all for her precious granddaughter. Liu Miaoqing targeted her that day because of Su Juan!

This person is really lucky. She is obviously just the daughter of a merchant, but she first married into Prince Jing's mansion, was divorced and then adopted by the Queen. Now she has become the current princess.

She cried in her room all day, annoyed at why the Queen was targeting her. She had done nothing wrong, but now she was still confused. It was all thanks to Su Juan.

Xie Xun clicked his tongue twice, "Are you that familiar with Mei Ying?"

Mei Ying immediately put on a smile and said, "Then I will follow everyone else and call you A Juan."

Cai Yi smiled gently, "Your Highness is too polite."

Su Juan glanced at her and then started chatting and drinking with the people around her.

When Mei Ying arrived, she immediately saw Liu Xuan talking to her colleagues. She was wearing a pink dress today, as if she wanted to compete with Su Juan for the spotlight.

Seeing her so affectionate, Mei Ying was stunned. Could it be that Liu Miaoqing didn't tell Su Juan about what happened that day?

What's so good about inviting this hypocrite? Why does he sit at the same table with me?

He waved his fan, as if to draw a line between himself and Cai Yi.

At this time, the Right Deputy Censor-in-Chief got drunk. He had long been dissatisfied with Su Juan because of the many confrontations they had had in the court. When he saw so many people flattering Su Juan, he immediately slammed the table and stood up, speaking nonsense.

"She is just a princess with an empty title. It is not even clear whether she is of royal blood or not. You two are flattering this woman so much. You really have no courage and backbone of a man of the Great Jin Dynasty!"

Su Juan looked at him with interest.

The guests were all stunned and their faces changed. This Right Deputy Censor-in-Chief must have been drunk to dare to say such words!
