There were a lot of people coming today, on the one hand because Su Xiujie was the first king to be crowned after Chu Youyang ascended the throne, and on the other hand because Su Bei personally sent someone to deliver the invitation.

The Prince Regent and Prince Zunyi are the people Chu Youyang favors the most after he ascended the throne, and everyone wants to take the opportunity to curry favor with them.

As soon as Chu Youyang entered the room, he began to look around for the back of the head he had just seen.

He remembered clearly that the man was wearing a black jade lotus crown, so he did nothing but look around in the crowd.

But his face was too conspicuous, and almost half of the people knew him. He was recognized at the beginning. This was not good. People had to bow to him as soon as they saw him. How could he do things quietly? He quickly slipped behind the stage and stole a big beard to put on.

That's much better now.

Search, keep searching! He wandered around, and when he saw Su Bei, he was immediately furious.

He knew that Su Bei was secretly hiding a man, but he didn't expect her to be so blatant and even bring the man with her. The two of them were actually talking and laughing in broad daylight.

But even though he was angry, he didn't dare to say anything. After all, it concerned Chu Younan's reputation, so he had to be careful.

He walked over quickly and deliberately asked, "Third sister-in-law, who is this? Can you introduce her?"

Su Bei was stunned for a moment. He did not recognize him at first sight. But when he saw his huge eyes and heard his voice, Su Bei immediately understood.

"Uh...he's a friend of the Regent." Su Bei said perfunctorily.

Chu Youyang looked at the man unkindly for a moment, then sat down next to Su Bei.

He will definitely find some clues! Speaking of Xue Jinrong who was beside Su Bei, her heart almost jumped out of her throat just now. She was more familiar with Chu Youyang than Su Bei, and she recognized him at a glance just now.

I was so scared that he would catch me! But he didn't seem to notice anything.

Xue Jinrong was secretly delighted. Yun Rou's disguise skills were really good! Even if her own mother stood in front of her, she wouldn't be able to recognize her.

Duan Zhanfang at the side was confused, she didn't know Chu Youyang. Besides, her attention was on Su Xiujie.

Su Xiujie is the protagonist today. His face has now returned to normal and he is also a newly rising young talent in Beijing. It is inevitable that girls will find excuses to approach him.

Duan Zhanfang felt a little uncomfortable, but those people were either rich or noble, and she, a daughter of a merchant, could never compare to them.

However, Su Xiujie was not having it as easy as she thought. His deep-rooted inferiority complex could not be changed overnight. Looking at these noble ladies, he not only did not feel happy, but felt exhausted.

One looked helpless, the other impatient.

Su Bei and Xue Jinrong saw the expressions of both of them.

Su Bei and Xue Jinrong exchanged glances.

Chu Youyang, who was secretly watching them, saw everything. He thought the time had come, so he quickly approached Su Bei and said, "Third sister-in-law! Can I have a word with you?"

Su Bei patted his belly and said, "Let's talk about it here. I'm quite tired too."

If she wasn't pregnant, he would definitely drag her away to borrow a step. He had no choice but to grit his teeth and whisper: "I saw it all that day! Who was that person? Don't lie to my third brother again!"

"Huh?" Su Bei was stunned, then smiled without saying anything.

Who is it? It's the person you sleep with in bed!

You search for her everywhere, and now she is just three or two steps in front of you.

Chu Youyang thought she was guilty, so he moved closer and whispered, "Hurry up and break up with him. I promise not to tell Third Brother!"

Break up completely? Let her run away from the city? By then, I'm afraid you won't even have time to cry.

Su Bei couldn't help it and covered his mouth with his hands and laughed.

Chu Youyang couldn't suppress his anger anymore, and growled at her: "What are you laughing at?! Third brother is over there, you openly sit with him, how can you..."

Before he could finish his words, suddenly a magical force grabbed the back of his neck and threw him out.

He covered his waist and looked over, and saw Chu Younan glaring at him.

He wanted to explain, but everyone was looking at him, so in order not to reveal his identity, he had to leave first.

He refused to accept it! Very much refused to accept it!

There was clearly a man sitting next to Su Bei. Even if Chu Younan didn't recognize him, why did he only throw him and not that man? ! This time Su Bei couldn't help it and laughed out loud with his hands covering his mouth.

Chu Younan recognized Chu Youyang only after he threw him out and saw him looking at him resentfully.

But he had already thrown it, and he couldn't chase it in public, so he had to sit down.

Xue Jinrong suppressed a laugh and said, "I'll go around for a bit."

Duan Zhanfang also stood up to make room for the two of them, "I'll walk around too."

The two men acted separately.

Duan Zhanfang took her maid and walked towards the lake in the backyard.

"Hongyi, let's find a secluded place." Duan Zhanfang said.

Hongyi was puzzled, "Miss, the Regent Princess clearly wants you to find a noble son-in-law in the capital..."

"Keep your voice down!" Duan Zhanfang scolded, "Who am I to choose a son-in-law from among these people!"

"I think that young lady is as good-looking and talented as those young ladies from government officials. You must not underestimate yourself..." The lady in red muttered as she looked around.

Duan Zhanfang lowered her head and said nothing. Hongyi was ignorant, but she couldn't be ignorant. It was necessary to marry someone of equal social status. As a merchant's daughter, she didn't want to marry someone above her station.

After walking a few steps, she suddenly stepped on something. When she looked down, she found it was a jade pendant.

There was a pink necklace underneath the jade pendant, which was obviously dropped by the woman.

Duan Zhanfang hurriedly said, "Go and give this to the steward of the Zunyi Palace and ask them to find the owner."

The red-clothed man didn't take it, "King Zunyi is right there, just give it to him directly."

After she finished speaking, she quietly took a step back.

Compared to other nobles, Hongyi felt that Prince Zunyi was a better choice. He was also from a grassroots background, and everyone was familiar with each other, so it was easier to get along with him.

Duan Zhanfang looked at Su Xiujie who was walking towards him and felt a little embarrassed, but he had no choice but to step forward.

"Greetings to His Majesty." She bowed respectfully, "I just found a jade pendant here. Please ask Your Majesty to send someone to find the owner."

When saying this, Duan Zhanfang somehow imagined the beautiful face of the owner of the jade pendant, and the story of how Su Xiujie found the owner and the two of them fell in love with each other.

Su Xiujie didn't think so much.

Only two people hiding aside laughed secretly.

Ruan Ningyun was not qualified to attend such an event. If she had not married, she could have attended as the eldest daughter of the Ruan family. But she was married and only a concubine of the regent. Others invited married women to such an event, but they were all wives.

But she also has a younger sister, Ruan Ningxiang.

She came here with Ruan Ningxiang today. On the one hand, she wanted to help Ruan Ningxiang find a good husband, and on the other hand, she had to find a way to get close to Chu Younan.

After all, she didn't dare to act rashly in the palace, but in public, she didn't believe that Su Bei would slap her in the face.

Just now, they saw Su Xiujie coming from afar and deliberately dropped Ruan Ningxiang's jade pendant on the road in order to create an opportunity for Ruan Ningxiang and Su Xiujie.

Seeing that Su Xiujie had obtained the jade pendant, the two looked at each other. Ruan Ningxiang exclaimed, and then asked anxiously: "Oh! Where is my jade pendant?"
