Jin Tingjiao

Chapter 158
In Shen Yan's previous life, the incident happened when Xiao Huai was not present, so in this life she has to guard against this moment.

Seeing the seriousness of what she said, Pearl hurriedly kissed Yuan Bei and left quickly.

When Shen Xi returned to his seat, the food happened to be served.

The female family members of the Han family sat at the table closest to the Empress Dowager Zheng and the concubines.

Neither King Yan's Mansion nor Mrs. Bi's Mansion had female relatives, so the Han family's status became even more distinct.

After a few rounds of dishes, dim sum was served. Seeing this, Empress Dowager Zheng asked, "Is there any in Qianqing Palace?"

The eunuch replied: "The emperor has ordered that today is the day of the death of the biological mother, so the imperial dining room specially made this 'mercy cake', which is not available in the Qianqing Palace or anywhere else."

Concubine Yang immediately said: "The emperor's benevolence and filial piety is the blessing of the queen mother and the blessing of the world!"

Empress Dowager Zheng smiled, tasted it, and said: "Send a copy to the emperor, and say that the Ai family has taken his heart."

After speaking, he saw Song Jiao who had finished his meal and was drinking tea at the next table, paused suddenly, and beckoned again: "Sister Jiao, come here."

Song Jiao paused, and immediately got up and came to the front.

"After you have finished your meal, go and deliver the decree on behalf of Ai's family." The Empress Dowager Zheng said with a smile.

Song Jiao paused for a moment, then obediently professed her blessing, and went to Qianqing Palace according to Yi's decree.

She knew very well that there were so many ladies in the hall, even though she was the cousin of the Han family, she was not considered the top among the officials and family members.

The Empress Dowager did not pick on Han Ning and Han Min, nor did she pick on anyone else, and she picked her alone, which naturally had implications.

The last time she was asked to discuss marriage with Xiao Huai, although there were selfish intentions of the Han family, it was also at her behest.

As a result, the trouble ended like that, Yan Wang's mansion didn't tear the slightest hole, not only did neither side gain anything, but also made Han Dun still run on by Xiao Huai in Qianqing Palace.

If you don't do something to appease the Han family, how can you convince the Han family?
So this dignity is not only for her, but also for the Han family.

At this point, she felt a little more at ease, after all, even the palace couldn't ignore her, Miss Han's cousin, so what was Xiao Huai?
On the side of the Qianqing Palace, there was a staggering number of cups and cups, and it was full of jubilation.

Accompanied by Han Dun and Xiao Huai, the little emperor also had a solemn birthday meal.

Xiao Huai drank a glass of wine, leaned on the big pillow with one leg bent, and scanned the officials outside the bead curtain the whole time as if no one was there.

With his appearance, it seemed that he had never paid attention to the whole world, and it was as if this Qianqing Palace was his Zhaoyang Palace.

Naturally, there were people who disliked him off the court, such as those officials in the Metropolitan Procuratorate.

But seeing Han Dun sitting cross-legged across from Xiao Huai, savoring the delicacies with a calm expression, he didn't intend to reprimand him at all, so no one had the courage to speak out.

After all, they dared to have opinions because they acted from Han Dun's point of view.

As for those officials who really uphold Chao Gang, as long as Xiao Huai has no substantive evidence of disrupting Chao Gang's lawlessness, they will not pay attention.

Song Jiao walked in from the other side of the bead curtain that the court lady had opened, and immediately saw him sitting with his long legs outstretched.

And when he turned his head, holding the cup in his hand, this moment of casualness fell into Song Jiao's eyes, and for some reason, it made her feel a little more inexplicably resentful...

When she was able to meet him in the palace, his indifference and refusal made her angry, and it was only because she felt offended.

But now, in the Palace of Qianqing, where hundreds of civil and military officials gathered, beside the true man and the chief minister of the dynasty, he was so unrestrained and unrestrained, exuding an unconquerable force and madness, which suddenly made her I can't even look closely...

"Why are you here?" Seeing her, Han Dun turned his head and asked with a cup in his hand.

Her face was slightly hot, she quickly cleared her throat and lowered her head to explain her intention.

Han Dun was in his prime at that time, apart from his outstanding talent, his appearance and stature were also first-class, and the reputation of beauty was also spread throughout the government and the public.

But compared with the current Xiao Huai, his elegant and romantic style seems a bit too reserved.

She was holding the snack, her mind was flying like a cloud, she didn't see it right now, a plate of pea yellow almost fell on the golden cake.

Han Dun glanced at her, but Xiao Huai didn't even turn the corner of his eyes.

Song Jiao felt annoyed, and felt a little bit ashamed and angry again.

It seemed that in his eyes, she was indeed not important enough to attract any attention.

After receiving the reward from the emperor, she pursed her lips and hurriedly withdrew.

After standing outside the hall, he let out a sigh of relief, but the more he thought about it, the more unconvinced he became.He, Xiao Huai, is too arrogant!
"Miss Song!"

Just here, she was sullen, when a small servant suddenly came in front of her and called her while trotting, "Can I ask the girl to do a favor for the servant?"

The servant was sweating profusely, out of breath, holding several booklets and bowed in front of her.

She frowned and looked over.

"Your servant here has some military reports that you want to present to the elder son, but the elder son is attending a banquet at the moment, and Master Su asked the slaver to transfer to Ziyao Palace.

"However, the slave is rushing to the front to send a message to Liu Ge, so—"

When Song Jiao heard that she was going to send the military report to Ziyao Hall, her expression was displeased.

The servant hurriedly said again: "Just because the slave is handed over to others, I really don't feel at ease. The young lady is finally someone the prince can trust, so please ask the young lady for help!"

Song Jiao's heart is a little smoother.

Seeing that he was really too busy, he raised his chin and signaled the servant girl to take it.

The waiter hurriedly handed it over: "Miss, please take it to Ziyao Hall!"

After saying that, I left with a thousand thanks.

Here in Qianqing Palace, the little emperor was inexplicably relieved after Song Jiao left.

Han Dun remained calm, responding to the officials who came to toast from time to time.

Xiao Huai was on the other side with the face of "Don't get close to strangers", but no one cared.

All the military officers on the seat know his temperament, so they will not come to disturb each other.Although the civil servants have the heart of flattery, how can they have the courage?

Shen Ruopu originally wanted to come to pay tribute, but seeing that no one had stepped forward, he put down the raised cup.

Seeing this, Lin Juntao, Minister of Dali Temple who was seated at the same table, said: "Brother Shen was honored by the Holy One last time, and it was also the favor of the prince. This glass of wine is respectful."

Shen Ruopu sighed: "Little brother, why don't I think so? But under the watchful eyes of everyone, I really don't want to bear the reputation of being a dragon and a phoenix."

Lin Juntao smiled and said: "Brother Shen, you are too worried. You are not afraid of the slanting shadow, so what are you afraid of? Come, come, come, at most, my younger brother will accompany you!"

Shen Ruopu was encouraged by his encouragement, and took the cup.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he stood up, Su Yan came hurriedly from outside, came to Xiao Huai and said, "Something happened to Ziyao Palace!"

Xiao Huai raised his head.

Su Yan glanced at Han Dun, and then said: "Miss Song came to Ziyao Hall with a stack of papers, and said that an eunuch entrusted her to deliver them to the crown prince, but as far as we know, there is no such thing.

"Miss Song forced her way into the palace to show her power, but our people found that the book was blank, and now our guards have seized it."

Xiao Huai immediately turned his head to look at Han Dun, Han Dun also frowned when he heard the words...
