Chapter 162: The Hongmen Banquet
It's easy to feel the passage of time on a smooth and comfortable day. Before you know it, the scorching summer has come to an end.
On the day of the beginning of autumn, Su Zhaoning received a post from the county lord of Anyi.
The last time the county lord of Anyi returned to Beijing, the reception banquet was organized by the six princesses. At that time, the news that Anyi County was mainly assigned to marry the second prince of Zangxi spread in the circle of nobles in Beijing, and now more than a month has passed, and the marriage has not yet been conclusive.
In this case, the invitation sent by the county lord of Anyi, in Su Zhaoning's eyes, was almost without three words written on the post - Hongmen Banquet.
According to the declining degree of favor of the county lord of Anyi now, and the degree to which her brother Su Jinyu is increasingly blue-eyed in front of the saint, Su Zhaoning can completely refuse this post.
But this time refused, what about next time, what about next time?
Left and right, the county lord of Anyi's unkindness to himself is there, and it will not disappear, and it will not change, Su Zhaoning simply went to this banquet calmly.
The father of the county lord of Anyi, the prince of Beijun, is really the younger brother of His Majesty today. It is said that the prince of Beijun was not able to transport grain and delayed the war, which caused the anger of today, and the prince was demoted to the prince of the county.
But after all, this prince of Beijun is the brother of Jinshang, so the specifications of the county prince's mansion are compared to the prince. In other words, in fact, it is still the Three Princes' Mansion of the year.
The last time Su Zhaoning was invited by the sixth princess, he came to the Beijun Palace. But there were many people who answered the appointment that day, and she had little room to look at the furnishings of the county palace.
This time it was different.
Following behind the maid of the county king's mansion, Su Zhaoning walked all the way to the lake pavilion where the last banquet was held.
Along the way, the vermilion lacquer corridor and carved railings and jade masonry of the county king's mansion should come into view. The most striking thing is that above the lake pavilion in front of you, a lifelike stone python hovers in the hollow pattern of the lake pavilion.
The python is the pattern on the prince's robe.
Although the prince of Beijun used to be the prince, but now he is only the prince of the county after all, and this kind of decoration is overstepping.
Su Zhaoning retracted his gaze and walked into the lake pavilion as if he hadn't seen it.
In the middle of the lake pavilion is a stone table with a jade face, and the jade surface is carved with cross-like traces.
Contacting the two stone boxes next to him, Su Zhaoning knew that this was a chessboard.
The county lord of Anyi is late.
She stepped up from the corridor on the other side, and when she saw Su Zhaoning, she spoke to her from a distance: "I didn't expect that Second Miss Su would be so generous, and to this day, you are still willing to accept posts to see me, which really makes me overjoyed." ”
"The county lord is serious." Su Zhaoning replied very indifferently.
The sense of familiarity deliberately created by the county lord of Anyi suddenly disappeared between the two.
Su Zhaoning didn't know why the county lord of An Yi was, and suddenly put on such a picture of being very affectionate with him.
An Yi didn't care about Su Zhaoning's coldness. She walked up to Su Zhaoning and sat down, and invited Su Zhaoning to say, "Zhaoning sit down, how about our next game of chess?" ”
Su Zhaoning nodded in response.
There is nothing to talk about between the two, and playing chess is also a way to pass the time.
Is the invitation of the county lord of Anyi invited for others? Su Zhaoning secretly pondered in his heart. Suddenly, an image popped into her mind.
The murderous aura of the day was approaching, and Nan Huaixin's intrusion just interrupted the murderous aura.
Although it was Dingyuan Marquis Nan Huaixin, Su Zhaoning knew that the real reason that day was still on the Seventh Princess.
Because the sixth princess wanted to frame the seventh princess, she risked her life to dig a pit.
Today, who does Anyi want to help dig a pit?
Su Zhaoning picked a sunspot.
An Yi picked Baizi.
The sunspot went first, and Su Zhaoning had no intention of letting An Yi.
She fell down first, and An Yi also fell quickly.
Su Zhaoning landed again.
An Yi also quickly fell again.
The two of them came and went, and in less than a fragrant time, there were already a lot of blacks and whites on the chessboard.
Su Zhaoning looked at An Yi, the other party's expression was completely on the chessboard, and he seemed to be fully engaged in playing chess.
Su Zhaoning also looked at the chessboard.
After the first game, Su Zhaoning was able to beat An Yi.
"One more game." An Yi went to collect the son with her own hands.
Just playing chess is much easier than doing other things, which makes Su Zhaoning feel much more worry-free. She didn't refuse.
Because he was familiar with the chess path of the county lord of Anyi, Su Zhaoning won much faster in the second game.
The county lord of An Yi stared at the chess pieces on the chessboard in disbelief, and after a while, he said again: "Come again." ”
Is this the time to play chess today?
Su Zhaoning did as he pleased, and continued to play chess with her.
It wasn't until game after game, as if nearly half an hour had passed, that An Yi said anything other than playing chess.
"A few days ago, there was a new embroidery at the tasting meeting of Badoulou. Have you heard of it? An Yi asked.
Su Zhaoning had a very chic month this month, and he did not participate in the tasting meeting of Badoulou. She replied truthfully, "No." ”
An Yi did not obsess over this topic, and continued to derive from other places.
"There is a Zhuangzi on the outskirts of the Wangfu City in Beijun, and there are many pomegranate trees in it. When the pomegranates are ripe next month, how about we go and taste them together? ”
"County Lord Xie cares."
"I used to be too arrogant and willful, and I inadvertently offended many people. Zhaoning, I hope you don't care. I'm like you, we all have no mothers. ”
"The county lord looks ahead, everything will be fine."
"I'm going to be married to Tibetan tin next month, and in the future, there will be no more Anyi county lord in the entire capital."
When Su Zhaoning heard this, he didn't make a sound.
An Yi didn't force it, but went straight down and said: "I married to Zangxi, except for my parents and brothers, there is only one person who is still at ease. ”
Su Zhaoning knew that this person must be referring to Chen Tianyang. Then she is even more difficult to answer.
The county lord of An Yi is still secretly sad.
I only heard her say: "After I got married, I have only one wish, I hope you can promise me." ”
"I hope you can take good care of Tianyang for me. Tianyang takes you with sincerity, I hope that after you marry him in the future, you can take care of everything for me and for him. ”
When Su Zhaoning heard this, he suddenly felt three points of rejection. She was about to open her mouth to make a statement, but she vaguely smelled a faint smell of medicine.
This medicinal smell penetrated into his nose with the wind, and Su Zhaoning suddenly understood.
It turned out that the trap of the county lord of Anyi was waiting here.
All she wants is Chen Tianyang's will to die for herself.
Su Zhaoning hesitated in his heart. Does she want to go with the flow? She didn't like Chen Tianyang in the first place, if she followed An Yi's words, would it be a kind of help to herself?
Isn't this going to make General Chen Xiao die? Su Zhaoning was undecided.
