The personal sycophant of the villainous empress

The creek outside the imperial capital is still flowing, but its age is unknown.

The day has come for the Thousand Years Banquet at the Duke of Shao's Mansion.

Compared with Su An's Duke's Mansion, Shao Guogong's Mansion truly embodies the grandeur and luxury of the Duke's Mansion.

In addition to the core area where the direct descendants of Shao Guogong live, there is no shortage of beautiful buildings, jade buildings, carved beams and painted buildings, as well as fairy mountain treasure pavilions and Lingdao sacred mountains in other places.

During this time, the monk flew away, and the divine light appeared, which was extraordinary.

The Duke of Shao's Palace has been passed down for tens of thousands of years, and the clan members have long been innumerable. There are tens of thousands of people living in the Duke's Palace alone. In addition, there are many followers who are attached to the Duke of Shao's Palace. It can be said that this Duke's Palace It is equivalent to a small town.

The place where the banquet was held was in the core area of ​​Shaoguo Duke's Mansion.

The guests who come and go here are either rich or noble.

Without a certain identity, you cannot enter here.

For ordinary dignitaries, just being invited by Shao Guogong's mansion would be worthy of bragging for a while.

And this time, the person taking the lead in Uncle Yongwei's Mansion was the old uncle's wife, Su Xuezhu's grandmother Li, who came to congratulate her in person.

"Second, second and third, remember, you need to make more friends with noble people when you go inside. Our Yong Weibo Mansion is no better than before." The old lady said.

"yes."

"Mom, we know, don't worry, we just don't know about brother..."

The third child looked at Su Xuezhu and the others with contempt in his eyes, especially when he glanced at Ling Chen.

No matter how talented your daughter is, she still has to marry a loser.

The old lady also cast her eyes on several people.

"Mom, we will keep an eye on Ling Chen and prevent him from getting into trouble." Su's mother said quickly, and Su's father nodded repeatedly.

Then Su's mother looked at Ling Chen sternly: "Ling Chen, when you go in, talk less and watch more, don't cause trouble, you know?"

Ling Chen didn't take it seriously. His master had saved Duke Shao's life, and with his status as the master of the Dragon King Palace, even Duke Shao wouldn't dare to neglect him when he saw him.

However, he still responded perfunctorily: "I know, mother, grandma, I will pay attention to it."

A group of people walked to the door, and the old lady took out the invitation.

The servant guarding the door looked at the invitation, then at the large group of people behind the old lady, and after a long while he said:

"The invitation is correct, come in."

Although the invitation did not stipulate the number of people, it was the first time for him to bring a large family to the banquet.

"Thank you." The old lady did not dare to be careless with the servants of Duke Shao's mansion.

Uncle Yongwei's mansion has long been no longer what it used to be. After the old uncle died, there were no Mingdan monks anymore. It was in such a state of decline that there was no hope left.

She looked at the scene in the palace and sighed: "It would be great if one day, my uncle Yong Wei's palace could have such a grand scene."

Suddenly there was an uproar from inside the door.

Several people looked around and saw a middle-aged man with a majestic face walking out.

"It's General Shao."

The old lady recognized the person as Shao Chuanming, the eldest son of Duke Shao, the imperial return general. She immediately bent over and greeted him flatteringly: "I've met General Shao."

A group of people behind her also rushed to say hello, this is a big shot!

Only Ling Chen stood proudly on the spot without speaking.

Shao Chuanming nodded, without looking at a few people, and continued walking forward. He stopped in front of a young man and showed an eager smile:

"The Marquis personally came to wish me a happy birthday, which really makes my Duke Shao's palace shine."

"General Shao, you're welcome. Mr. Shao Guo is celebrating his thousandth birthday. Of course I, a junior, have to come to see you." The young man also talked and laughed freely, and under the leadership of Shao Chuanming, he calmly walked inside with everyone's eyes on him.

After the two of them entered, everyone in Uncle Yongwei's Mansion came to their senses.

"Who can actually let General Shao greet him personally?" The second child asked in surprise.

The old lady glared at her second son, who only knew how to eat, drink and have fun. "If my prediction is correct, that person should be Lord Wu Shun."

"It's actually this one!" The third child showed a respectful expression upon hearing this.

Although Marquis Wushun was only granted the title of Marquis in the past twenty years, no one dares to say that the Marquis Wushun's mansion has little or no background. This person is a member of the royal family, with the same surname of Su, but his ancestry can be traced back far further. The Shang Taizu who founded the Great Shang Dynasty.

Moreover, this Marquis of Wu Shun was deeply favored by His Majesty. He was often called into the palace to teach, and he was awarded awards one after another in a short period of time. This was not something that a declining prince like them could compare with.

Ling Chen dismissed this, Mr. Hou?

This world ultimately depends on strength.

He turned to look at Su Xuezhu, who was two meters away from him, and was about to say a few more warm words.

But he saw Su Xuezhu's eyes heading towards the door, following the back of Mr. Su, as if he was fascinated by it.

In just a moment, Ling Chen felt a little bit more unhappy with this Lord Su whom he met for the first time.

…

After all the guests arrived, the banquet at Shaoguo Duke's Mansion officially began.

Singing and dancing, silk and bamboo singing, drinking and talking.

The dignitaries chatted with each other, and several marriages or interest exchanges were inadvertently decided during the banquet, which was quite lively.

"Sister, come with me to toast." A pretty girl gently pulled Su Xuezhu's arm and said.

The person who spoke was Su Xuezhu's cousin, who was also a young lady from the Yong Weibo Mansion. She was the best peer among her peers, and one of the few who worked hard, but was a bit less talented.

"Toast? You can go alone." Su Xuezhu is really not in the mood now.

"But I don't dare to do it alone." The girl said shyly.

The young girl's Huaichun look made Su Xuezhu stunned for a moment, and then she smiled and said, "I'm afraid you have fallen in love with some young master. Please tell me which one it is."

The girl hesitated, finally looked in Su An's direction, and quickly turned her head away, as shy as an ostrich.

Su Xuezhu suddenly felt a bad feeling in her heart: "Do you also like Su An?"

When the girl was asked such a direct question, she immediately lowered her head in shame, without thinking about the word "ye" in Su Xuezhu's words.

After a long while, she said softly: "I just feel that Lord Su is good-looking."

"Superficial!" Su Xuezhu scolded loudly.

"How can you only look at people by their appearance? You may be deceived without even knowing it."

"But I don't have anything worth deceiving Lord Su, right?" the girl responded in a low voice.

"you!"

Su Xuezhu stretched out her fingers and put them down: "It's so stupid!"

After being scolded for nothing, the girl felt a little aggrieved: "Well, then I'll just go alone."

"etc!"

"Forget it, I'll go with you." Su Xuezhu picked up the wine glass.

Girl:......

What kind of trouble is this?

Su Xuezhu had her own calculations in mind.

Because of the damn engagement made by that old guy, she was a little afraid to take the initiative to talk to Su An, but this sister could just be her excuse.

If the engagement really couldn't be canceled, she would arrange for this silly sister to become Su An's concubine.
