Chapter 169 Banquet

Author: Yue Izumo

Huajiao originally wanted to take his cousin Jiang Ruyan to a hidden place in the city while it was getting dark, but before he left, he learned from Zhou Ling that Yu Taiqing and Liu'an King Li Cong were coming to Wangjiang Tower.

Huajiao stepped out of the Accord, leaned in front of the third-story fence, and looked towards the gate on the first floor.

The banquet happened to be over, and several drunken diners staggered to the outside with the help of servants.

Under the guidance of the servants of Wangjiang Tower, King Liu'an and Yu Taiqing entered the building one after another. Their noble demeanor formed a sharp contrast with the swaying diners.

Perhaps sensing Huajiao's gaze, Yu Taiqing raised his head and glanced, and Huajiao hurriedly hid behind the pillar.

She was not afraid that Yu Taiqing would know that she lived in Wangjiang Tower, but she just didn't want to face him for the time being.

She was already sure that he knew magic, but she didn't expect that he actually spent the whole day on the boat, which made her somewhat suspicious that she was wrong.

In the end, she secretly sent a message to Zhou Ling and helped Di Chen find him.

"Hey? Isn't this Miss Jiang?" A clear and beautiful voice sounded behind her.

Looking back from the corner of the painting, he saw Princess Li Linlang of Jing'an passing by the winding corridor with two maids.

She was wearing a gorgeous five-color skirt, with a phoenix hairpin on her high bun. There was a hint of surprise in her eyes as she looked at the corner of the painting with a smile.

"Did Madam Jiang also go to Qujiang Pond to enjoy the lotuses?" Princess Jing'an asked.

That day at the peony banquet, when Huajiao met Princess Jing'an, she was pruning flowers and trees with the fake Xiao Sujun, her aunt Li Yunshang. At that time, she was wearing a simple shirt and skirt. Now she is gorgeously dressed and exudes nobility.

people.

The painting corner turned around and saluted: "I heard that the lotus flowers in Qujiang Pond are in full bloom. I lived in Lan'an for a few years in the past few years and never had time to see them. This time I came here specifically to enjoy the lotus flowers."

Princess Jing'an said softly, her beautiful eyes moving with a hint of royal dignity and alienation.

She was about to leave, but inadvertently glanced down and saw Yu Taiqing and King Liu'an.

Princess Jing'an glanced at the corner of the painting again, with a meaningful smile on her lips.

She had heard a little bit about the painting of horns. She was not very interested in painting horns at first, but now she became interested.

She looked directly at the corner of the painting, and her voice became warmer when she spoke: "That day at the peony banquet, I thought you and General Pei..."

Princess Jing'an paused for a moment, changed the topic, and said with a smile: "Now it seems that you and Qingdi are a perfect match."

Huajiao smiled faintly, not knowing how to reply to her words.

Princess Jing'an is usually very close to the fake Xiao Sujun. I wonder if she knows that the fake Xiao Sujun is actually her aunt Li Yunshang.

Hearing him call Yu Taiqing brother, Huajiao didn't know whether she meant it on purpose or sincerely.

Princess Jing'an smiled again and said: "You must be living in Wangjiang Tower. I finally met my brother Qing today. He will host a banquet for me no matter what. You can also come to Tianzi No. 1 Accord later."

Hua Jiao saluted and said, "Thank you, Your Highness, Princess."

The painting corner watched from a distance as Princess Jing'an went downstairs to talk to Yu Taiqing and King Liu'an, then turned around and returned to the Yage where Jiang Ruyan lived.

Tang Ning and Gong Shuyu were guarding Jiang Ruyan.

She walked to the sill window near the river, glanced at Qujiang Pond, and said, "You two and Captain Zhang will take my sister away later."

"Where are you, Alliance Leader?" Tang Ning asked.

"Princess Jing'an just invited me to have dinner. There were Yu Taiqing and Prince Liu'an at the dinner. I'll go over and meet them."

Gongshuyu was a little worried: "Is it going to be dangerous? Or should I stay too?"

Huajiao told Tang Ning and Gongshu Yu that the matter had not yet been fully investigated, and it was not necessarily the cousin that Yu Tai had fallen in love with, but they were half-convinced, thinking that Huajiao might have been obsessed with love.

Huajiao shook his head and said, "Zhou Ling and Yi'er are still here, don't worry."

After tidying up the painting corner, we went to the Accord at Tianzi No. 1.

Di Chen and Zhou Ling were guarding the door and were a little surprised when they saw the painted corner.

Di Chen turned around and went in to report. Hua Jiao took the opportunity to ask Zhou Ling: "Apart from King Liu'an and Governor Yu, are there anyone else at the table?"

Zhou Ling whispered: "Shizi Xue and Lady Xue from Kaibohou Mansion are also here. They came here with Princess Jing'an."

Huajiao was a little surprised.

Because of the case a few days ago, the Queen Mother took the blame and went to the temple to clean up the cause. Li Yunshang committed suicide, and her husband Xue Xiang was also dismissed from his official position.

Xue Di and Xue Jin must have been hit hard. There is very little news about them these days.

The title of the Kaibohou Mansion is still there, and Xue Di is still the heir apparent and has not been affected. After all, he and Xue Jin are the children of Wenning Princess Li Yunshang, and they have royal blood flowing through them.

Even before the emperor knew about this, he had already taken care of the Xue family many times because of the empress dowager's preference for the fake Xiao Sujun. Naturally, he would not ignore them at this time. After all, they were the emperor's nephews and nieces.

However, in order to conceal what the Empress Dowager and Li Yunshang had done back then, the emperor did not tell the world about Li Yunshang and Xiao Sujun's face-changing. Therefore, in the eyes of the world today, the emperor's nephew is still Yu Taiqing.

Princess Jing'an actually let the three of them sit at the same table. I don't know whether it was unintentional or intentional.

Di Chen pushed open the door and led Huajiao into the Yage.

Princess Jing'an smiled and said: "Brother Qing, I see you follow the rules on weekdays, but I didn't expect that you actually made an appointment with Madam Jiang to come to Qujiang Pool. I happened to catch her today, and you have to treat me to this meal."

As he said that, he patted the seat next to him and motioned for him to sit down.

Yu Taiqing glanced at the corner of the painting, lowered his eyes and said: "It's just a meal. Even if sister doesn't tell me, I will treat it."

Huajiao was sitting next to Princess Jing'an. Hearing Yu Taiqing specifically address Princess Jing'an as sister, he raised his eyes and glanced at Xue Di and Xue Jin who were sitting next to them.

Xue Di had a faint smile on his lips, and his expression was calm.

Xue Jin snorted lightly, glanced at the corner of the painting, and suddenly said: "Ms. Jiang, do you still remember the marriage lot drawn at Jingci Temple?"

Xue Jin has changed a lot. She has lost a lot of weight, and her face is haggard with a hint of gloom.

She has always been arrogant and arrogant. She didn't believe the lottery that day was not good. Now, since her mother's accident, she must have believed it.

Yu Taiqing didn't know that Huajiao had drawn a marriage lottery before, so he looked at Huajiao after hearing this.

Huajiao smiled and said, "That lottery is not very good. I didn't believe it."

Xue Jin sneered and said, "My lot worked out well, and yours seems to work a little better too."

Hua Jiao knew that she was insinuating that both Pei Ruji and Yu Taiqing had asked for marriage.

She knew that Xue Jin was in a bad mood and took his anger out on her.

Huajiao smiled lightly and said: "Thank you, Mrs. Xue, for the tip. If you hadn't mentioned it, I almost forgot about it. Although I don't believe it, it would be nice if it worked. After all, the signature is not too bad."
