And speaking of this, Wang Chang showed a sad expression: "General Chu, it doesn't matter if you have a family background. Xia Guan came from a humble background, and he was coldly looked down upon since he was a child, but he was used to it. And now that he has just entered the officialdom, the lower officials are actually more worried that Lord Meng will ......"

Chu Nanyue had already diverted the topic before, but Meng Yuan said it back, which showed that Meng Yuan was really worried.

Meng Yuan was his immediate boss, and Wang Chang was really worried that he would be embarrassed.

"Lord Wang, when you say this, you can't help but belittle yourself." Chu Nanyue frowned. "You are the emperor's appointed martial champion, even if he Meng Yuan is dissatisfied, he will never dare to touch you."

Wang Chang heard Chu Nanyue's tone fade, probably because he was a little disappointed in himself, and hurriedly expressed his attitude: "General Chu, it's too simple for the lower officials to think. ”

was a newly acquainted courtier, Chu Nanyue just mentioned a few words, and he didn't have anything to say at the moment.

And the people from the Ministry of Rites came over again, and it turned out that the emperor intended to hold a banquet on the bank of the Pingjiang River to celebrate the successful completion of the martial arts test.

A few days later.

On the day of the banquet, there were thousands of empty alleys in the capital. This is the first time in the Tanglin Kingdom.

Even the emperor brought the empress and others to attend in full costume to congratulate the new science and technology scholars.

There are many temporary shops on the banks of the Pingjiang River, all of which take advantage of the large number of tourists today and want to do some business. And the troupe and artists are also lively.

Chu Nanyue observed the princes and nobles in the capital, and their eyes were all fixed on the body of the new science and technology jinshi. The daughter, who sat gently beside them, also occasionally looked shyly.

This is the most important purpose of the banquet.

As with the previous liberal arts and sciences, this banquet gave the princes and nobles the opportunity to choose a son-in-law who rode the dragon.

Although these new science and technology scholars have no family background, they are popular people in the eyes of the emperor, and they must be prosperous.

Chu Nanyue drank the wine lightly in her lips, and saw that even the Marquis of Chu came today, and Chu Nanxin, who had already signed up with Xu Qingchang, also came.

And Xie Yinhua, who was still sitting next to the queen, waited for the banquet to start, and Shi Shiran sat in his seat, very arrogant.

It didn't take long for several new science and technology scholars to go to Xie Yinhua's place and flattered him, including Liu Yiyang.

And Xie Yinhua didn't pay any attention, but took the initiative to walk towards Tanglin Shuo.

When passing Chu Nanyue's seat, Xie Yinhua knocked over the wine glass on the table and almost smashed it on Chu Nanyue's clothes.

"I'm sorry, General Chu, you are sitting in this corner, I really didn't see it." Xie Yinhua pretended to be apologetic and said.

"What do you say? Fang is the one who deliberately wants to stain my general's clothes, right? Qingshuang couldn't suppress her anger.

Chu Nanyue hurriedly pulled the person down, her eyebrows and eyes were as calm as water: "Miss Xie should go wherever she wants, my maid has always protected the lord, if the words collide, Miss Xie should not be blamed." ”

The queen was sitting in front of her, if Xie Yinhua deliberately led her to quarrel with herself, wouldn't it be a pleasure for relatives and enemies.

What's more, Chu Nanyue didn't take advantage of her. Xie Yinhua's three-legged cat trick had already been seen through by her, and then easily dodged.

"Hmph." Xie Yinhua glanced at Chu Nanyue arrogantly, "Naturally, I'm going to find someone." ”

Chu Nanyue coped decently. is right under the eyes of the queen, and naturally she can't continue to find fault. Otherwise, let the queen see it, and blame her for not being very sensible.

So Xie Yinhua first went to the table of Tanglin Shuo and other princes, and let them drink the wine they had poured as they did when they were children.

"Second brother, please first." Xie Yinhua said.

She has always been a good person, and she knows that although there are different concubines, Dongling Hong is now the oldest prince, and the number of courtesies is indispensable.

After Tanglin Hong drank it all, Xie Yinhua went to Tanglin Yan again, and after a few words, she sat down next to Tanglin Shuo as if she were concentrated.

"Sixth brother, you know, I just want to toast you." Xie Yinhua showed a shy expression.

This is really for the sake of courtesy, even if Xie Yinhua only wants to laugh with Tanglin Shuo, he has to take care of the other princes' faces.

Hearing her tone as before, Donglin Shuo was already bored, and shirked: "Yinhua, there have been a lot of things in the DPRK and China recently, and I don't drink much anymore. ”

"If there is only this cup in my hand, will the sixth brother still shirk it?" Xie Yinhua's eyes flickered, as if he was aggrieved.

Her arm straightened, and a glass of wine was brought to Tanglin Shuo's face, and she didn't move away for a long time.

"What are you doing here?" Tanglin Shuo frowned.

Xie Yinhua insisted more and more: "If the sixth brother doesn't drink, let Hua'er keep holding it." ”

Tang Linghong, who was sitting next to him, was looking at them like a good show. And Tanglin Shuo couldn't help but look at the queen in the center.

The Empress had noticed what was going on here, and was looking at her with reproachful eyes.

Donglin Shuo couldn't help but have a headache, if Xie Yinhua was entangled, it would definitely be not good-looking, and the queen looked at it from afar, presumably saying that she had bullied her, and she would be even more uneasy at that time.

So I had to take Xie Yinhua's wine glass and drink it all.

When he put down the cup, Xie Yinhua laughed.

And Donglin Yan also joked on the side: "Sixth brother is really dissatisfied, there is Sister Hua'er who is devoted to you, why do you have to look at Shu and keep looking over there?" ”

Dongling Shuo's eyes darkened, and his eyes were as sharp as a sword blade: "Seventh brother, the affairs of the youngest daughter's family can also be ridiculed by you?" ”

As soon as the words fell, both of them knew that Tanglin Shuo was defending Chu Nanyue. Only Xie Yinhua seemed to be a little moved.

"Okay, sixth brother, seventh brother is just a joke, I don't care." Xie Yinhua was in the round next to him.

Dongling Yan looked at Xie Yinhua sympathetically, just smiled and shook his head.

And Tanglin Shuo was inconvenient to explain, and after giving Donglin Yan a warning look, he had no intention of continuing to argue.

Chu Nanyue didn't notice the scene here. Wang Chang had already walked over to her, presumably to thank her again.

"General Chu, the emperor has said a lot to his subordinates. Only then did the lower official know that the general's words a few days ago did not deceive the lower official. Wang Chang said gratefully.

Chu Nanyue looked at his all-over dress, he was really a champion who was in the limelight for a while. It can be said that it is majestic and full of spring breeze.

And he didn't follow the flow to Xie Yinhua's place to flatter a few words, but Chu Nanyue was impressed. It can be seen that Wang Chang is different from other new science and technology scholars.

"It's nothing, if Lord Wang has been in officialdom for a long time, he can understand a lot." Chu Nanyue pointed.

Just as everyone says that the divine will is unpredictable, but where is there a courtier who has not thought about the holy will?

Even the emperor who is suspicious of the fox has some thoughts that are easy to guess. And grasping the emperor's mind is the best way to have a smooth flow in the court for a long time.

Wang Chang heard Chu Nanyue's words, and nodded incessantly, saying that he had learned a lot.
