Duan Rong stared at Jiuer.
Seeing Jiu'er's stubborn look, he suddenly smiled and leaned back, "Who cares about you?"
Jiuer pursed her lips and turned her head away.
The atmosphere suddenly became weird.
The situation here was soon discovered by someone who was secretly watching and whispered to the eldest prince.
The eldest prince glanced at the second prince opposite him and covered the meaningful smile on his lips with the wine cup he held up.
The second brother is usually a smart guy, but he did something stupid yesterday.
I actually had a "chance encounter" with this Miss Duan Ajiu.
It's still the same old-fashioned and ridiculous trick of "the hero saves the beauty".
The second brother could sense that Miss Duan Ajiu was no ordinary person. After all, she had a special relationship with Su Jingxing, Chu Qing and Qian Qian.
Why doesn't he think about it? If he can sense it, then can't he, as the elder brother, or his other younger brothers sense it?
Why are the others just secretly investigating or watching Miss Duan Ajiu, and not taking any rash action?
Even he himself, who was so anxious to ask the princess to help investigate Duan Ajiu, didn't take any action?
The second brother has always been self-righteous and never thinks about the consequences.
The reason why Duan Ajiu attracted everyone's attention was that Su Jingxing, Chu Qing and others were involved with her!
If you rashly approach Duan Ajiu and attack him, it might cause dissatisfaction or disgust among these two people.
After all, these two people are not easy to talk to.
They want to use these two people for my benefit, not to make enemies with them.
When I saw it today, it was indeed true.
Su Jingxing and Chu Qing were probably more concerned about Duan Ajiu than the rumors or even what they saw!
Otherwise, how could Su Jingxing and Chu Qing, who are so aloof and cold-hearted, do such a thing to be jealous of a woman in such an occasion?
hehe.
Second brother, second brother.
Although he arrived a step late, the second brother who arrived earlier came in and approached Duan Ajiu, but was blocked by Chu Qing without any shame. Someone quietly reported this to him as soon as he arrived.
Judging from Chu Qing's attitude towards Lao Er, Lao Er might really have lost more than he gained this time.
Thinking of this, the eldest prince took a sip of wine in a good mood, and even raised his glass from a distance to toast the second prince opposite him.
The second prince narrowed his gloomy eyes and responded with a forced smile.
On the surface, everyone seems to be friendly and respectful to each other.
The eldest prince curled his lips in pleasure.
At least the probability of Chu Qing standing on the side of the second brother has been reduced a lot, haha.
But, to be honest, Su Jingxing and Chu Qing, who are so difficult to deal with, are also unable to resist the temptation of beauty...
Tsk tsk.
But it is understandable that Duan Ajiu is indeed not one of those common vulgar women.
Not only can she make Su and Chu jealous of her, but she can also make people unable to guard against her and become poisoned...
For example, the little thief arranged by the second brother yesterday was poisoned and tortured in the street and rolled on the ground.
The eldest prince's eyes flickered.
Duan Ajiu, I will definitely find out your background and identity.
Amidst the various thoughts of everyone present, a voice sounded, "The Emperor has arrived and the Empress has arrived."
Emperor Cangyu was in his fifties and looked very healthy and energetic.
The Queen was in better shape. Although she was also in her fifties, she looked only about thirty-seven or thirty-eight.
Both of them are good-looking.
Most importantly, neither of them is the type to be intimidating without even getting angry. Although they look noble, they are very gentle.
Cang Yu did not practice kneeling and bowing.
As soon as the emperor and empress appeared, everyone stood up to salute, and Emperor Cangyu said cheerfully, "This is not a court session, everyone doesn't need to be so formal, everyone please sit down."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Everyone present sat down again.
However, many people were secretly wondering why the Tenth Princess had not shown up when the other princesses of the royal family who had come of age had already arrived.
Thinking of the rumors about the Tenth Princess and Su Jingxing, everyone smiled respectfully on their faces, but their minds were actually filled with confusion.
At this time, Emperor Cangyu and Empress took their seats.
No matter how gentle they were, they were the emperor and empress after all.
Because of their arrival, the singing and dancing stopped temporarily, and those who had originally looked relaxed now sat up straight and solemnly, not daring to laugh or chat anymore.
Not to mention that the marriage was about to be granted, as the relationship involved was too huge, and even the court officials sat upright and began to speculate in their hearts.
Emperor Cangyu said with a smile, "Today's banquet is neither a court banquet nor a family banquet. It is our Cangyu's annual 'civil banquet' and wedding banquet. It is our Cangyu's thousand-year-old tradition. Why are you all still so reserved?"
Then he said jokingly, "Or are you all eager to see whether I am doing a good job as the matchmaker today or not?"
"Your Majesty is making fun of our old ministers."
The courtiers were able to respond, but the girls behind them mostly lowered their heads in shyness.
Even those young masters felt a little embarrassed.
Emperor Cangyu laughed heartily and said nostalgically, "Every year when I see these young people, I am reminded of my marriage to the Queen when I was young. When I first met the Queen, I was also so shy."
Of course, the courtiers and the princes and princesses could not discuss the emperor's shyness with him, and they just said, "Your Majesty (father) is now in the prime of his life."
Emperor Cangyu laughed again.
The Queen next to him said angrily, "Your Majesty, I'd better act as your matchmaker soon. Give the wedding decree as soon as possible so that everyone can celebrate happily with food, drink and fun."
“Yes, yes.”
Emperor Cangyu turned his gaze and fell on an empty seat in the front row.
Following his gaze, many people felt a pang in their hearts.
It is said that Duan Rong, the only grandson of the old General Zhenbei, has recently returned to Beijing and received an imperial edict to attend a palace banquet.
They had been paying attention before, but never saw anyone coming.
Is Duan Rong really so unreliable?
"Duan Rong is such a headache for me. I haven't seen him for so many years, and I want to see what he looks like now. I also want to find a good match for him, so that the old general can rest assured."
The emperor laughed again. "How could he not show up at this time? Is he going to disobey the emperor's order?"
Some court officials were startled and wanted to say something, but were afraid of getting into trouble.
Just opposite this empty seat is Prime Minister Wang’s seat.
Wang Sisi, who was standing behind Prime Minister Wang, almost dug her fingernails into her flesh.
My face felt hot and burning.
It was as if Emperor Cangyu had said this to him.
Totally disgraceful!
Duan Rong is a useless guy with only a general's family background. Why did my father want to marry her to him?
Wang Xiaojin next to her was fine, she just tried to look at Jiuer at the end from time to time.
But there were too many people in the middle, the table was too long, and Jiuer and others were at the opposite end.
There was no trace of her.
Just as everyone was thinking about it, Prime Minister Wang spoke, "Young Master Duan..."
"Duan Rong has arrived at the Zhenbei General's Mansion~"
