What kind of bad thoughts can Mr. Xiao have?

Chapter 103 Chapter [-]
Xiao Qi took advantage of the situation and sat closer to her.

"I'm going to tell you when I have progress. Why does Wynn think of me so badly?"

"Okay, don't rub it for me."

Wei Huaien took his hand and let him lie beside him.

"What's wrong with you recently, you can't even make a joke? I don't mean that. If you can't find anyone, I can't think of anyone else who can."

Looking at Wei Huai'en who took the initiative to nest into his arms, Xiao Qi's heart sank back from his agitation.He also blamed himself for being suspicious of a dark ghost, deceiving her more and more like a snowball, for fear that she would find out that day.

"It's not that your highness is now in the reserve position. I heard that even Lu Chong is planning to send the second son of his family to the East Palace as your entourage, let alone the other family. The king's heart is unpredictable, how does the servant know which of your highness's words is true? Disgusted?"

"Really?"

Wei Huai'en regained his spirits.

"You mean Lu Zezhi? Lu Chong really planned that?"

Where there is no wind, there is no wave, not to mention that Xiao Qi's Xuan Yusi is doing surveillance and spies, so how could he lie?

But Xiao Qi pinched her face and poured cold water on her with a wooden face.

"Fake. Your Highness is only allowed to joke, and the servant is not allowed to tell lies?"

Wei Huai'en, who was blocked by his own words, pursed his lips, glared at him, pulled his hand off his face, turned over and ignored him.

Xiao Qi, who originally came up with a witty remark just to change the topic, took it seriously. He wrapped his arms around Wei Huai'en's waist from behind, clasped her tightly to his chest, and pressed it against her ear and asked:
"Your Highness really wants a newcomer?"

The hot air he blew made Wei Huai'en itchy, so he quickly covered his ears and turned around to meet his gloomy phoenix eyes, coaxing softly:

"No, no, don't be jealous, I just can't believe that Lu Zhong dared to move such a crooked mind, it's definitely not what you think."

Xiao Qi slightly raised the tip of his chin, asking her to kiss him.

Wei Huai'en was so fascinated by his petty temper that he fell for him without even thinking about it.

When she left his lips unsteadily, she closed her eyes and wanted to sleep, when she heard him say faintly again:
"How long did the servant wait this morning to kneel down and beg for His Highness's grace, is it because of a guilty conscience..."

"Shut up, you, sleep!"

Wei Huai'en raised his hand to cover his mouth, Xiao Qi was finally willing to sleep peacefully.

However, Lu Chong really wanted to push Lu Zezhi to Wei Huai'en's side. Although he didn't want to sell his son, he just wanted to stabilize his power.

Think beautifully.

Shangguan.

"What? Are you going to the palace banquet too?"

Shangguan Lu Ming had just packed up and planned to go out for a banquet, but he didn't expect Shangguan Lu Yong to go with him.

"Can't you? Can't you bring your family? Why, you don't want to take me?"

After being rejected by Jiang Hong that day, Shangguan Lu Yong was bored in the small courtyard for a few days before regaining his vigor.Now that she has changed into a Shu embroidered dress and put her hips on her hips, she is acting majestic, and she doesn't show any sadness at all.

"No, no, it's not a matter of whether I want to take you or not. The list of all the families participating in the palace banquet was handed over in advance. You have never entered the palace with me. I can't take you with you temporarily. You have no place to sit what."

"Why is there no place to sit, why is there no place to sit! Can't I just squeeze around Madam Lu? I can't take up much space."

Shangguan Luming was stunned for a moment, raised his thick eyebrows, and asked in shock:
"Mrs. Lu? When will you..."

"When you were not at home in the morning, Mrs. Lu sent a maid to deliver a letter to me, saying that if I want to go to the palace banquet tonight, I can sit with her, and I agreed."

Shangguan Lu Yong didn't hold back, and said it openly.

"But……"

He clearly remembered that his younger sister was reluctant to meet the two sons of the Lu family before, and she had only met Mrs. Lu a few times, why did she suddenly become close enough to go to the palace banquet together?
"Look at your expression, bro, I'm not an idiot, people don't like me, I've forced and forced, I don't have any regrets. Madam Lu is actually very kind to me, isn't his master also your boss Why should I refuse?"

Shangguan Lu Yong came over and pulled the corner of Shangguan Luming's mouth up, and said to him with a smile.

"Yongyong, you don't have to embarrass yourself. I don't need you to do anything for me. And it's your lifelong event. I just want you to choose the one you really like. Don't worry about me. I will help Madam Lu. You said, stay at home, okay?"

Shangguan Luming held her hand and persuaded her helplessly.

His younger sister is good everywhere. In the past, when he was studying, she would bring him food, drink and supplies regardless of the weather. She was the head of all the places that the old housekeeper couldn't take care of when he was old. Can't tell who should listen to whom.

"Don't be embarrassed. I really want to go by myself. Don't worry about it. If it delays, we both won't go. Let's go."

Shangguan Luming had no choice but to take her out together.

Palace feast.

Because of Wei Huai'en's status as a princess, the male and female guests of this palace banquet did not sit in the same hall as usual, but sat on the left and right sides of the hall, facing each other.

Before Wei Huai'en came over, some conservative family members of officials at home decided to move the seats that were originally arranged according to rank to the back, and did not want to get too close to the male guests.

There are still a few ladies who want to set up screens to cover them.

The servants in charge couldn't persuade him, so they had to come to Shui Jing for advice.

"It's okay, let them change seats, screens are impossible. If they don't want to sit in the hall, they can move their tables out to eat."

It's not like there are occasions where men and women sit together outside the palace on weekdays. This group of people came here to find something unpleasant for His Highness Wynn, and they couldn't get on the stage.

It's clear that the old man in the family can't understand His Royal Highness Wynn's superiority, and he dared not say anything clearly, so he ordered the female relatives to act here.

Shui Jing glanced at the faces of the most troublesome people, and found that the few people who were remembered by the female officer next to the empress suddenly died down, and sat down honestly on their seats, without daring to start again.

Mrs. Lu took Shangguan Lu Yong to sit in the front row, taking advantage of this time to talk casually, took Shangguan Lu Yong's hand and quietly pointed her to the people in the next few rows opposite.

"Look, Yongyong, the tallest and most handsome one is my Dalang. My Erlang has not been an official yet, so he can't enter this palace. I'll let you see it next time."

Mrs. Lu's hands are fleshy, and her chubby face is very kind. Shangguan Lu Yong has always had a good impression of this lady.Although he didn't want to think about marriage yet, he followed Mrs. Lu's instructions and looked over.

Lu Yuanzhi on the opposite side finally waited until her gaze came over. The moment their eyes met, Shangguan Lu Yong's eyes widened in surprise, and he covered his mouth in disbelief.

Lu Yuanzhi pursed his lips and smiled, raised his right hand to cover his head from the rain, and quickly put it down again.The distance was too far for him to talk to her.

But seeing Shangguan Lu Yong hastily looked back and lowered his head, Lu Yuanzhi felt that she should remember him.

"Hey? Shangguan girl, why are you blushing? Does my Dalang suit your eyes?"

Madam Lu lowered her loud voice as much as possible, and squeezed Shangguan Lu Yong's hand.

She really likes this girl. At someone's banquet before, she met a few young girls who were usually troublesome and surrounded her. They turned red in the face and dared not stop them again.

Mrs. Lu's exquisite temperament was not born like this. Her family was in trouble, and when her parents went out to do business, the heavy rain hit the mountain...

She had to support the lintel of the Ruan family, and also had to take care of her younger brother who had just left. She had suffered even more embarrassments, and she could see at a glance that Shangguan Lu Yong had the same demeanor as her.

After inquiring again, she was also a pitiful girl, and her brother was also working in Dali Temple, so she was moved.

Although I know that Lu Chong is highly valued in the court, we should be cautious in every aspect of the family. The marriage of the two sons probably can't be taken care of. I didn't expect that she would mention it to Lu Chong casually without hope, and Lu Chong actually nodded. .

"You said that although I have never met that girl, her elder brother is a good boy. He was ranked second in high school at a young age, oh, the year the second child failed the exam. Recently her elder brother was transferred from the Hanlin Academy to serve as an errand in Dali Temple. I see It was very safe and never had a problem.”

"I'm looking at that girl, why are you praising her brother?"

"I mean her brother is such a good character, even though his parents are not around, can't he teach a good sister?"

"That's right, then you go talk to her elder brother Titi and let Da Lang Erlang meet the girl?"

There was nothing wrong with Shangguan Luming's previous precautions. Firstly, Lu Zhong wanted to win him into his subordinates, and secondly, he also thought that this marriage might be possible. Chance.

"Madam, you are mistaken, it is illuminated by candlelight."

It happened that the candlestick beside him was lit by the palace servants, Shangguan Lu Yong quickly adjusted to the embarrassment of recognizing Lu Yuanzhi, and pretended to be fooled by it.

"Besides, even if the wife is as beautiful as a fairy, and the son she gave birth to is also beautiful, you should be more humble, so as not to be heard by everyone to be jealous of you."

"Hahaha, you girl is the best at making me happy. Even if you look down on my Dalang, there will be Erlang in another day. Anyway, I would be happy to recognize you as a goddaughter."

Mrs. Lu joked with a smile.

There was a sudden silence in the hall, and the palace man preached:

"His Majesty is here—"

Everyone stood up and saluted. Wei Huai'en in a vermilion dress walked in slowly, climbed up the jade steps and took his seat on the main seat, and slightly raised his right hand as a signal.

"rise--"

Ming Feng stood under Wei Huai'en, shouting with a red face.

Shui Jing stood behind Wei Huai'en, and whispered to Wei Huai'en when the guests stood up to toast in the hall, that even his ancestor Yin De could remember his family's achievements clearly.After Wei Huai'en exchanged greetings with the toasters, the host and guest enjoyed themselves.

Palace banquets were not meant to feed people, and Wei Huai'en's golden cup was almost never empty. There were both male and female guests, so socializing on both sides was a must.However, since she is a concubine and is trying her best to promote reforms, she should lead by example and treat everyone equally.

Shui Jing had already mixed her wine into honey water. Although her cheeks were slightly red, Wei Huai'en, who was already a good drinker, didn't even feel drunk.While dancing and music added to the fun, she glanced at everyone in the hall.

Most of the female guests here are familiar faces, and my aunt Ning Yu is also there, and she is pushing glasses and changing glasses with several wives who are also the mistress of the gate, drinking happily.

The imperial sister Wei Huaining was the most conspicuous, her hair full of pearls and emeralds looked like a fairy concubine in the candlelight, dazzling and extraordinary.From time to time, he looks towards the opposite side, probably looking at some official who is pleasing to the eye.

The girl sitting next to Mrs. Lu looks very similar to Shangguan Luming, she must be his sister, but why is she so close to Mrs. Lu?
As for the dodgy ladies sitting at the back, Rao Wei Huai'en knew that they were not to blame, so he also frowned, which made those ladies who were already worried dare not look up.

There is nothing wrong with the male guests, they are all official foxes, and they are very good at saving face.If it weren't for the women in the family showing their feet, Wei Huai'en still wouldn't be able to see who was secretly opposing her reform.

For example, the female relatives in the Fuguo Palace let Wei Huai'en know that the seemingly obedient Fuguo Palace actually has very strict rules, and Wei Huaining, the Princess Jiafu who can tolerate acting out of line, has already made a concession in order to curry favor with the royal family.

And looking at Zhao Xingde's sinister appearance, Wei Huai'en also knew how the life of Sister Jiafu was going.

Mr. Le has not cared much about Xuan Yusi's affairs recently, so Xiao Qi and the father-in-laws of Xuan Yusi's errands have become the targets of some officials. They also sit among the male guests according to Xuan Yusi's rank. There is no need to be different from the people around you.

After meeting Jiang Jue and Jiang Hong, Wei Huai'en looked at Shangguan Luming, Ruan Yan, and several young officials who had always been loyal to her, and finally, his eyes fell on Yu Zhiyan.

King Rong sat in front of Yu Zhiyan, affected by her eyes, shrank his neck in a hopeless way.Yu Zhiyan naturally saw King Rong's feeling of being on pins and needles, shook his head and sighed, raised his wine glass and clinked it with Wei Huai'en far away.

"Master Yu is admitting defeat?"

Shui Jing asked behind Wei Huai'en in a low voice.

"unimportant."

What Yu Zhiyan thinks, it didn't happen before, and it won't affect Wei Huai'en's plan in the future.It's just that when she looked at Lu Zhong, there was still a shadow in her heart.

Xiao Qi was always by her side, and he was the only one. Although there were many twists and turns, Wei Huai'en was always able to keep him.

But after returning to Beijing, Emperor Yonghe's intention to take action against the Jiang family was clearly revealed, which even made Wei Huai'en suspect that Emperor Yonghe would only give up if he had to be one of the Jiang family and Xiao Qi.

If she hadn't put up all her resistance, she might not be able to keep any of them.

But seeing the happy uncle and aunt, and the cousin who kept drinking with his head down for some reason, such a lively and loving family, why should they sacrifice for her Tongtian Road?

What should I do, kill Lu Zhong?Or take the Jiang family out as soon as possible?
Loyal ministers and good generals, and a family with strong bones, if they are asked to give up everything to survive, will they agree?
But Monan's envoys are going to Beijing soon, and Emperor Yonghe's plan is not a day or two, how can she...

"Wynn."

A familiar voice suddenly sounded in his ear, interrupting Wei Huai'en's meditation.

　Yong Yong!There are many men!Stop chasing stars, look at the other side!
　　Lu Yuanzhi: I have seen this sister before (smiles)
