Wang Mang rarely blushed after being praised by Wang Zhengjun.

But in the eyes of Queen Xiao Xu and others, such a reaction unconsciously thought that this was Wang Mang's humble nature. For a time, everyone became more curious about Wang Mang, and their impressions were also very good.

Wang Mang said modestly: "Aunt, please don't boast about your nephew like this. The merits that my nephew can achieve are due to the emperor's great blessing. It is not enough."

When everyone heard that Wang Mang was so humble and put all the credit on Liu Ao, they all looked at Wang Mang.

Obviously at this moment Wang Mang became the absolute focus.

Wang Zhengjun was also pleased to hear this.

After all, her purpose in arranging this family dinner was to score points for Wang Mang and to set up connections.

Wang Zhengjun said: "It is your contribution, then it is yours. If you hadn't pushed this merit out, the emperor should have made you a marquis at this moment."

Wang Mang said again: "Aunt, it is not my nephew's wish to be granted a title of marquis. My nephew only wishes that my great man will be in peace and prosperity, and that both my aunt and the emperor will live forever. Besides, the rebellion that my nephew put down was local chaos, and this chaos was caused by officials.

It was caused by the harsh punishment of the prisoners. Although my nephew calmed down the chaos, he still had a feeling of injustice in his heart."

"These people who were killed by my nephew were all my loyal subjects before they were bewitched by the Shen thief. If my nephew steps on their bones and becomes a prince, my nephew's heart may never be at peace again."

As soon as Wang Mang said this, everyone was moved. They never thought that the reason why Wang Mang did not want to be proud of this achievement was because the people killed in the quelling the rebellion were all the original Han people.

There are very few people in the world who are so compassionate and pitiful for the people.

At this moment, Ban Shu looked at Wang Mang, and his mood couldn't help but have a few ripples.

She has loved poetry and books since she was a child, and like her sister Ban Jieyu, they are both beautiful, intelligent and talented women with outstanding literary talents.

Therefore, Ban Shu naturally admired Wang Mang's character very much.

After Wang Zhengjun heard this, he also sighed and said: "If everyone in the world can think about the court and feel compassion for the people like you, why should the great man worry about not being able to live in peace?"

Wang Mang bowed and said: "My nephew believes that under the leadership of my aunt and the emperor, the Han Dynasty will definitely return to the state of Xiaoxuan and Zhongxing again."

After Wang Zhengjun heard this, he was in a good mood. He picked up the jade bottle and said, "Cai!"

Everyone raised their glasses and drank one with Wang Zhengjun.

Now that we have drank and talked, the atmosphere has gradually become more relaxed.

Wang Zhengjun looked at the Queen Mother and said deliberately: "Brothers and sisters, seeing that Mang'er is so sensible, I have to speak for you on behalf of my second brother. Mang'er has passed the age of the weakest, but he has not yet married a wife. Can you see which of the children has arrived?

At this age, you are still alone?"

After hearing Wang Zhengjun's reproach, the Queen Mother immediately stood up and worshiped: "This is all the fault of my wife."

When Wang Mang saw his mother pleading guilty to Wang Zhengjun, he immediately said: "Aunt, this is not my mother's fault. It is my nephew's fault. In his early years, my nephew was obsessed with the study of Confucian classics and morality, and had no time to distract himself from other thoughts. As a result, he is still single today.

I hope my aunt will not blame my mother."

When Wang Zhengjun heard what Wang Mang said, he also sighed and said: "You shouldn't be like this. Mencius said: There are three kinds of unfilial piety, and the greatest is not having children. Since you are the mainstay of the family, how can you be so in vain to take care of your parents and not think about marrying a wife and starting a family?"

Read?"

Wang Mang bowed again and said, "My aunt taught me a very good lesson, so my nephew can spare it."

As everyone listened to the singing and harmony between the Empress Dowager and Wang Mang, they all naturally understood the reason for this family banquet.

Except for the Queen Mother, Wang Zhengjun, Queen Xiao Xu and other concubines of Liu Ao, Ban Shu was the only one here who was as lonely as Wang Mang.

Therefore, everyone's eyes couldn't help but flow back and forth between Wang Mang and Ban Shu.

When Ban Shu was looked at by everyone, he immediately became embarrassed and blushed on his cheeks, making his appearance even more beautiful and charming.

Although Wang Mang was a little nervous, he was still very courageous. He also secretly glanced at Ban Shu, and the love in his eyes was not concealed at all.

When Ban Shu saw Wang Mang, his heart suddenly went crazy.

Suddenly, Ban Shu also thought of when he had met Wang Mang.

Ban Shu remembered that when she went to borrow a book from the old doctor a few days ago, she seemed to have been stared at by this gaze. She looked back at that time, but what she saw at the time was not real, so she did not remember it.

The person I met at the old doctor’s place was Wang Mang.

Now, this similar gaze was on him again, and he once again found the owner of this gaze, and Ban Shu suddenly felt some inexplicable feelings in his heart.

She is also an extremely intelligent woman. Apparently at this moment, Ban Shu also suddenly understood the true meaning of today's Queen Mother's banquet.

It turns out that this banquet was specially set up for her, and the person who was able to ask the Queen Mother to host a banquet for her personally, don't think too much, this person is Wang Mang!

Thinking of this, the blush on Ban Shu's face became even more intense. It turned out that all this was arranged by Wang Mang.

Everyone looked at the situation between Wang Mang and Ban Shu, and they all had different thoughts in their hearts.

Wang Zhengjun looked at Wang Mang with a smile, and then at the shy Ban Shu. In order to liven up the atmosphere, she added: "Since you are sensible, I am very relieved. Let's have a drink."

Wang Zhengjun picked up the wine glass again and led everyone to drink together.

The continued drinking made the subtle atmosphere just now even more charming.

At this time, Wang Mang boldly said to Ban Shu: "Miss Ban, I have fallen in love with you since the first time I saw you. If the girl does not dislike Wang Mang's despicableness, Wang Mang is willing to express his feelings to the girl in front of his mother and the Supreme Being."

Wang Mang's eyes were extremely sincere. He looked at Ban Shu and continued: "A person's life is very long, but also very short. Decades pass by in a blink of an eye. Wang Mang doesn't want to regret missing the girl because of his timidity, so,

I hope you can forgive my recklessness and accept my sincerity."

Wang Mang was also really reckless. He directly hit the ball with a direct hit. At this time, he seemed to have awakened his soul. He stopped speaking those convoluted words and directly used the simplest and most sincere words.

, said what was on his mind.

This immediately caught Ban Shu off guard. She looked back at Wang Mang in shock. When she saw Wang Mang's serious and clear eyes, Ban Shu didn't know how to respond for a moment.

As for Queen Xu, who was standing aside, she looked at Wang Mang's bravery and honesty towards Ban Shu, and somehow she felt a bit of envy in her heart. She had been extremely noble in her life, and had been favored by Liu Ao for ten years, but

She has never seen Liu Ao so brave.

Ban Jieyu also looked at Wang Mang and her sister Ban Shu in astonishment. Ban Jieyu had never thought that Wang Mang would be so brave. Although she did not quite understand what Wang Mang said, the sincerity in this sentence

, Ban Jieyu can still feel it.

Ban Jieyu knew that her life was too boring, and she always put rules and principles first, thus neglecting the best feelings in the world, which made Liu Ao gradually drift away from her.

Therefore, at this moment when she heard Wang Mang's sincere confession to Ban Shu, Ban Jieyu couldn't help but envy her sister, and hoped that her sister would not learn from her and take the so-called rules too seriously.

Zhao Feiyan was also shocked by Wang Mang's words, but her focus was not on the confession between Wang Mang and Ban Shu, but on Wang Mang's clothes.

From the first moment she entered the palace, Zhao Feiyan saw Wang Mang's clothes, which felt extremely familiar to her.

Now as Wang Mang turned around, Zhao Feiyan could see more clearly that this dress was exactly the one she had made for her father, Zhao Lin.

But for some reason, Zhao Feiyan felt that this shirt matched Wang Mang very well, as if this shirt should belong to Wang Mang.

After such thoughts emerged from Zhao Feiyan's mind, they surged uncontrollably like weeds blown by the wind, causing Zhao Feiyan's heartbeat to beat a few beats faster.

It also made Zhao Feiyan couldn't help but glance at Wang Mang secretly...
