The Ninth Prince only had one cup, while the Crown Prince had three. He hesitated for a moment and placed the jade wine cup he found on the windowsill on the Ninth Prince's table.
Then he said to Weiweinuo who was still kneeling on the ground: "Guard here well, if something happens again, you'll be in trouble for your life."
"Yes, yes, yes."
He nodded timidly and knocked his forehead hard.
Eunuch Fu just left the house.
Jin Suting had returned to the table. As soon as she sat down, she saw Mrs. Lu sitting in front of her.
She didn't expect that this woman had become so cruel and mad that she actually dared to poison Helan Ruizhe.
Is there anything else she dare not do?
Mrs. Lu seemed to feel her gaze, turned around and gave her a cold look.
Jin Suting frowned, and her eyes seemed different from usual.
It seemed to have lost a bit of hypocrisy, and now it looked like naked disgust.
Is it because he has a strong backing that he is so arrogant?
Not only did he dare to poison His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, but the way he looked at me was so explicit without any concealment?
Jin Suting glared back at her. Mrs. Lu sneered and whispered "childish".
Jin Suting: “???”
At this delicate moment, a large group of people rushed in from outside the hall, including the old general, Grand Tutor Yu, and Prime Minister Tang.
The leader was Helan Ruizhe, wearing a yellow robe and a mask.
However, it was the one that Jin Suting gave him.
Helan Ruizhe walked straight to the dragon throne in the hall, to his seat.
Jin Suting didn't dare to look at him, and Helan Ruizhe didn't go out of his way to look at Jin Suting.
It's as if they didn't know each other well.
The old general had a smiling face, but when he saw Lu sitting next to him, his face instantly fell.
But he recovered quickly and hid his disgust.
He just moved a little further away from Mrs. Lu without leaving any trace and sat down next to the old general.
Their friendship doesn't seem to be very deep, after all, one is a scholar and the other is a warrior.
We can't communicate at all, but we still get along very well.
After all, we are all working for the court, so we should unite, help each other and live in harmony and friendship.
Sitting next to Grand Tutor Yu was Yu Siyuan, his eldest and only son.
Yu Siyuan lost his wife in middle age, and Jin Suting also learned that Yu Qinglan and Yu Chenghao's mother had died early.
Prime Minister Tang sat opposite them, along with other ministers, after they all took their seats.
The Queen Mother had not come out yet, but Helan Minzhi walked out from the side door.
She arrived very early, but the Queen Mother said that the princess could not join the table too early, so she waited at the side door until almost everyone had arrived.
Her position was next to Prime Minister Tang, quite far from the throne.
Jin Suting heard that Helan Minzhi was a princess who had been living away from home and was brought back a few years ago.
She is not favored by the Queen Mother, in fact, she is quite pitiful.
If you don't treat it well, why take it back?
The atmosphere was subtly awkward at this time, because Helan Ruizhe rarely spoke, but someone always had to liven up the atmosphere.
This person is Prime Minister Tang.
This arrogant middle-aged man said loudly: "The Ninth Prince hasn't come yet, haha."
Jin Suting was so embarrassed that she held her forehead with her hand. Why should he, a prime minister, urge the prince?
A few members of the Tang family's faction laughed along, "Yes, yes."
"I'm here now."
Helan Yinsheng was still dressed in black, and he was the only one in the whole audience who wore such an unfestive look.
Everyone's eyes suddenly became a little subtle, but there were still some people who were crazy about it.
That is, those noble ladies who didn't care about anything were quietly excited.
It’s like the excitement of a star-chasing girl seeing her idol.
Helan Yinsheng smiled and looked at Prime Minister Tang, responding to his urging just now: "I'm not late, am I?"
He spoke as if this was a family dinner hosted by Prime Minister Tang.
This one sentence nailed down Prime Minister Tang’s answer. It was neither “yes” nor “no”.
"How could the prince be late? The prince is never late." Tang Ruozhi answered smartly.
Helan Yinsheng didn't seem to buy it. He leaned over and asked Tang Ruozhi with a probing expression: "Oh, really? That answer seems perfunctory~"
Helan Yinsheng seems gentle, but he is actually a treacherous person.
"Your Highness dare not."
Tang Ruozhi didn't expect Helan Yinsheng to be so direct and perfunctory, so she could only say that she didn't dare.
"But you didn't even stand up and talk to me. Aren't you just being perfunctory?"
Helan Yinsheng's expression was like that of a wounded little animal.
"I……"
Tang Ruozhi was speechless for a moment, and stood up suddenly, blaming herself for talking too much. Now she was the one who was embarrassed.
After all, no one wants to offend the only prince of Fuding Kingdom.
There was a stalemate for a while and the atmosphere was very subtle.
"Ayin, don't make it too difficult for Ruzhi."
The Queen Mother walked out from the side hall, wearing a phoenix crown and a red robe, with black hair and a healthy complexion. She didn't look like she was fifty years old.
Most of them are noble, domineering and proud as a king.
The Queen Mother was supported by Shi Qingmiao and sat on the dragon throne.
Helan Yinsheng has been unhappy ever since the Queen Mother called him Ah Yin.
He quickly hid it, his face still looking sour, but he still gave his signature gentle smirk.
