In the afternoon, Nalan Fengjin, Chu Tianyou, Nalan Hanqi, and Nalan Han went to the Jin Palace together.
Handing over the invitation letter from Prince Jin, several people were led into the front hall by the steward of Prince Jin's Mansion. At this moment, there were people chatting and laughing behind the entrance screen. As soon as the few people walked around the screen and stood still, Nalan Fengjin saw the tall people above them. The deep and majestic middle-aged man sitting on the seat is the King of Jin.
Nalan Fengjin blinked at King Jin, who immediately understood.
Nalan Fengjin, Nalan Hanyi, and Nalan Hanqi paid homage to the Jin King Nalan Yicheng. The Jin King laughed and greeted them politely before everyone sat down.
Sitting across from them was Nalan Xuyan, and a young man in rich clothes. Yaoguang didn't look at Nalan Xuyan, but she felt that the young master looked familiar.
The two sides looked at each other, and King Jin seemed to deliberately not introduce them to each other. The music of silk and bamboo in the main hall was gentle, but there was an undercurrent.
When Nalan Fengjin raised his head, he saw Nalan Xuyan looking at him across from him, but Nalan Fengjin didn't take it seriously.
At this moment, I suddenly heard Nalan Xuyan say: "Sect Master of Phoenix Villa, long time no see."
His sudden words made Nalan Fengjin startled, and then he said calmly: "Have we met before?"
"I haven't seen it before." Nalan Xu said with a half-smile.
"Then how do you know that I am the Phoenix Sect Master?" Nalan Fengjin asked back.
"I made a mistake." Nalan Xuyan's smile became even wider.
"Oh, then your memory is very bad." Nalan Fengjin sighed.
At this moment, Nalan Hanyi asked: "Do you two know each other?"
Nalan Fengjin glared at Nalan Han: Just watch the excitement and don't worry about trouble.
Nalan Xuyan's eyes were half closed, not looking at Nalan Hanyi, but looking at her with a smile but not a smile.
Nalan Fengjin originally planned to ignore him, but now that Nalan Hanyi and Nalan Hanqi are beside her, and with her current status as the master of the world, what can Nalan Xuyan do to her?
As long as she doesn't want to, who can do anything to her. Thinking of this, I felt relieved. I could deal with Nalan Xuyan calmly and it didn't matter.
But a layer of doubt arose in Nalan Fengjin's heart. Why did he care about what Nalan Xuyan thought? Are they familiar with each other? It was so strange. What was wrong with him.
She raised her head and met Nalan Xuyan's eyes, with a meaningful smile on her lips.
Nalan Fengjin felt a little nervous for some reason.
Everyone in the hall saw their expressions, but they all remained calm.
At this time, Nalan Han smiled and said: "Oh? That's it. You have to recognize it next time. This girl has a very bad temper."
After Nalan Xuyan heard this, his eyes finally turned to Nalan Hanyi. Nalan Fengjin was depressed again, Nalan Hanyi, you are really just watching the fun and not afraid of too many things.
Facing Nalan Xuyan's gaze, Nalan Hanyi smiled more and more kindly, so kindly that it was strange. Are they familiar with each other?
Nalan Hanqi was sitting there with a calm look on her face, reaching out to pick up the tea bowl beside her, as if Nalan Hanyi had said something ordinary.
But Nalan Fengjin was the only one who couldn't help but smile with his eyebrows creasing. She didn't know why, but she felt that Nalan Hanyi's smile couldn't be more fake.
Nalan Xuyan has not yet answered. Then King Jin, who was sitting at the table, said, "Look at my memory, I forgot to recommend each other to you."
King Jin stood up, went to the next level, and introduced one by one: "This is the eldest son of the Nanwangfu of Lincheng Town, Nalan Xuyan, General Nalan."
King Jin pointed at Nalan Xuyan, a man with splendid clothes and phoenix eyes, and said, "This is Mr. Su Jinrui, the second son of the Su family in Lincheng."
Hearing this, Nalan Han seemed slightly startled. He quickly stood up and clasped his fists, saying, "I have admired these two great names for a long time. It is truly a blessing to meet you today."
"Thank you." Nalan Xuyan replied.
Su Jinrui cupped his hands and replied, "Nice to meet you."
Su Jinrui? Nalan Fengjin couldn't help but be stunned. Isn't Su Jinrui the younger brother of Mr. Jinse? Jinse was going to marry Su Jintian, the eldest son of the Su family. She had met Su Jintian before, who was bold, chivalrous, and gentle.
Jinse once said that among the Su brothers, Su Jinrui was the best at business, but he was quite casual.
There are three sons in the Su family. The eldest son, Su Jintian, is mainly in charge of the business in the north of the Su family. After this wedding, he will take Jinse back to Tiandu. Anyway, Tiandu City has Jinse’s princess mansion and the Linxi that he gave her. Other courtyard.
The third young lady, Su Jinqin, is a true lady of the family, never leaving the door or stepping outside the door.
The second son, Su Jinrui, is in charge of the Su family's business in the entire Jiangnan area and nearby areas.
The fourth son, Su Jinkan, is the youngest son of the Su family, but now he has also taken over some of the business in the southwestern region of the Su family.
This Su Jinrui, as far as she knew, Su Jinrui actually controlled the business in the Jiangnan area. So he basically controls the economic lifeline of the Su family. Unexpectedly, this person is still so young.
King Jin continued: "This is Nalan Hanqi, the crown prince of Prince Xuanming, this is Nalan Hanyi, the young prince of Prince Xuanming, this is Nalan Jin, the master of Phoenix Villa, and this is the master of Phoenix Pavilion of Phoenix Villa. Chu Tianyou.”
King Jin introduced them one by one, and both parties were naturally polite.
At this moment, three people walked in from the door, talking and laughing. The first man was dressed in fine clothes, but he could not hide his heroic spirit, and behind him were two women, both of whom were graceful and graceful.
The man and one of the women came forward and bowed their heads to King Jin, saying, "My son, I have met my father."
Then, another woman said: "Nalan Xingci has met Prince Jin."
Nalan Fengjin saw these three people. The man should be Nalan Zichen, the son of King Jin. The woman should be Nalan Ziyu, the daughter of King Jin. The other woman is named Nalan Xingci, the sister of Nalan Xuyan. .
"Okay." King Jin stroked his beard and said with a smile, "Come, you three, come over. I will introduce to you the three distinguished guests who have just arrived."
Afterwards, King Jin made another introduction, and the three of them hurriedly stood up and treated the man and two women with false politeness.
While Nalan Fengjin was being polite, he noticed that Nalan Xingci looked at Nalan Hanqi in a daze. He recalled that Nalan Hanqi looked like this when he first saw him, and couldn't help but laugh a little. There is no way, Han Qi is too beautiful. But the next minute I read something else in that look. Haha, interesting.
The two parties sat down, and the maid brought out several plates of melons and fruits, while music played from silk and bamboo, and the hall secretly looked at each other with eyes, as if the room became more lively because of the number of people breathing in the room.
Nalan Fengjin didn't take such an occasion seriously at first, and sat there boredly without saying a word. Of course, there was no need for her to speak.
It was all agreed with King Jin, so she was naturally casual here, not to mention that even though here were all the royal relatives and dignitaries.
After all, not everyone can afford to offend Phoenix Villa, so she is naturally a distinguished guest. Phoenix Villa has amazing power and financial resources. Now all the dignitaries are eager to be the guests of her Phoenix Sect Master. Who would mess with her, let alone her? Now they are children of Jianghu, so she and Chu Tianyou are naturally happy and pure.
She picked through the fruit plate, then picked up the two largest and juiciest apples, handed one to Chu Tianyou, and bit down the other herself. There was an unusually clear and loud click, which attracted the surprised gazes of the two reserved girls opposite. Seeing that his actions shocked the two ladies, Nalan Fengjin's movement of biting the apple in his mouth paused slightly, and then he saw that the two ladies opposite him both glanced away politely, and couldn't help but sigh secretly.
Chu Tianyou also glanced at her, and she grinned. Then, she took another bite and heard another click. Nalan Fengjin felt depressed in her heart.
This time, the two young ladies opposite looked at her with a bit more complicated eyes. Nalan Fengjin couldn't help but feel annoyed. Looking at the apple that she had already taken two bites of, she felt at a loss for a moment.
Chu Tianyou smiled when he saw her staring blankly at the apple in her hand. He took it from her hand, took out a small knife from his sleeve, cut the apple into bite-by-bite pieces, put it on a small plate in front of him, and then put it in front of her again.
Nalan Fengjin smiled gratefully at Chu Tianyou, and then began to bury his head in the apple in front of him.
Nalan Hanyi and others were discussing the flower and boat show with the King of Jin.
The King of Jin said: "There is still some time before the Flower and Boat Show, so the young masters should stay in the house."
Nalan Hanqi calmly said: "I have been troubled by many of you, so please forgive me, Your Majesty."
Nalan Zichen said with a smile: "Your Majesty, you are really polite. If you can come as promised, my father and I will welcome you."
Su Jinrui, who had been silent until now, suddenly said: "The materials needed for the flower and boat show will arrive in three days. I hope everyone is safe."
Then I heard Nalan Zichen say: "Thank you, Brother Su, for your help. This flower and boat show can go smoothly, thanks to Brother Su for raising materials."
At this time, Nalan Xuyan said: "Every year at the opening ceremony of the flower boat show, I, the royal family and nobles, perform on the stage with their golden branches and jade leaves. I don't know whose flower will go to this year." Nalan Xuyan's gaze was intentional or unintentional. He swept towards Nalan Fengjin.
When Nalan Han heard this, he smiled and said, "Princess Ziyu is very versatile. I have heard about it for a long time. This year's flower and boat exhibition, I came all the way from the capital specifically to hear the princess sing a song."
Nalan Hanyi had a springy look on his face, and his eyes looked affectionately at Nalan Ziyu, Princess Ziyu's opposite, until Nalan Ziyu's cheeks turned red and she lowered her head.
As for Nalan Fengjin, his left ear went in and his right ear went out, and he didn't remember anything. Her goal was all on the melon and fruit cakes in front of her. None of the fruit plates in front of others were moved, but the one in front of her was empty.
At this time, I heard Su Jinrui say: "Are they delicious? I ordered people to bring these fruits to the city from the south of the Yangtze River."
Nalan Fengjin heard this and said, "It's delicious."
Su Jinrui smiled and said, "As long as it tastes good."
"Yeah." Nalan Fengjin nodded.
Su Jinrui smiled slyly and said, "It's not enough."
Nalan Fengjin smiled and said nothing.
The two of them had something to say, and others could understand it, but they didn't show any emotion.
At this time, Prince Jin said: "These distinguished guests must be tired now that they have come from afar. Chen, please take these distinguished guests down to rest first."
"Yes, father." Nalan Zichen stood up and said.
The King of Jin added: "Later, I will hold a banquet to welcome all the distinguished guests who have come from afar. I would also like to invite a few of you to come and enjoy the occasion."
Nalan Hanqi stood up and saluted with his hands in his hands: "Your Majesty, you are welcome. The four of us will definitely come to the banquet on time."
Nalan Fengjin also stood up and gave a courtesy and thanked him: "Your Majesty entertained the four of us so warmly, and we are extremely grateful. Jin and his subordinates would like to thank Your Majesty for your kindness."
Chu Tianyou also quickly stood up and thanked him.
Nalan Zichen stepped forward and said with a smile: "You're welcome, four of you, please come with me." Nalan Zichen turned sideways and said politely.
"Excuse me, sir." Nalan Hanqi said.
"Please." Nalan Zichen said.
The four of them followed Nalan Zichen out of the palace.
Nalan Hanyi, Nalan Hanqi, Chu Tianyou, and Nalan Fengjin were all arranged in the guest room on the east side of the palace, living in the wing room opposite Nalan Hanqi, Nalan Hanyi, and Chu Tianyou.
The sunset is golden. The King of Jin sent someone to invite the four of them. The four of them were already ready and went to the front hall with them.
When the four of them entered the hall, there were already many people in the hall. Judging from their clothing, most of them were officials from Lincheng area. Seeing the four of them entering the hall, they could not help but be treated with false politeness.
Nalan Fengjin frowned inwardly. The most annoying thing is Luo Liba's rude politeness.
After being polite, they sat down one by one under the guidance of the servants. Sitting next to Nalan Hanqi was Nalan Xingci, while sitting on the left side of Nalan Fengjin was Chu Tianyou. The one on the right is Su Jinrui.
Nalan Zichen and his sister Nalan Ziyu were sitting together at the head of King Jin. Next to Nalan Ziyu was Nalan Xuyan.
At this moment, Nalan Ziyu's cheeks were red and her behavior was slightly reserved.
Looking at Nalan Xingci, it was the same. From the moment Nalan Hanqi sat next to her, she never raised her head.
Seeing the expressions of Nalan Xingci and Nalan Ziyu, Nalan Fengjin couldn't help but sigh inwardly. However, these have nothing to do with her.
As soon as Nalan Fengjin sat down, he picked up a grape in front of him, peeled it and stuffed it into his mouth.
Nalan Fengjin hated this kind of scene the most, but this time he couldn't escape. Seeing Su Jinrui beside him looking at him, he completely turned a blind eye. Su Jinrui smiled.
Everyone didn't wait long before they heard the sound of music, dancing prostitutes entering, singing and dancing on the sheng and Xiao, and the banquet began.
Fine wines and delicacies were put on the table one after another. King Jin raised his wine glass and said some touching words of welcome to everyone in the audience. Everyone also raised their glasses and thanked them.
Nalan Fengjin raised his glass until his hands were sore, looking at the table full of fine wine and delicacies, he suddenly thought of the hungry people who were traveling all the way near the city, and was secretly annoyed.
Everyone was busy talking and socializing, but Nalan Fengjin was busy eating. After eating this, he ate that. He took all the things he liked and ate them by himself. While eating, he told Chu Tianyou: "We don't have one." Two things, eat more."
Chu Tianyou didn't say anything when he saw it, and ate with her. He also picks up food for her from time to time. After eating delicious food, the two of them looked at each other. Said, this dish tastes very good.
After three drinks, the atmosphere in the hall became familiar. Nalan Fengjin was really fed up with the constant chatter about people trying to get married, and was just about to get up when she heard Su Jinrui next to her say: "You are really good at eating."
Before Nalan Fengjin could answer, Nalan Han who was beside him said, "Brother Su, I made you laugh."
Nalan Fengjin frowned and rolled his eyes at Nalan Han but did not refute. He just said: "It's really boring here. I want to go out for a walk."
Nalan Han said hypocritically: "Ah Jin, you are not familiar with Prince Jin's Mansion. The night is dark, so ask a maid to accompany you. Don't get lost."
"Oh." Nalan Fengjin replied perfunctorily. No matter how big the Jin Palace was, no matter how dark the night was, she would not get lost.
When Nalan Han heard the sound, he smiled at Su Jinrui and said, "This is how my friend makes Brother Su laugh. Come on, Brother Su, let's drink this cup together, please."
At this time, Su Jinrui also raised his glass and said, "Please."
Nalan Fengjin rolled her eyes at him, okay, she made people laugh twice tonight. Nalan Hanyi saw the roll of her eyes and pretended not to notice.
