King Su's expression was as serious as ever, making it impossible for Prime Minister Lu to guess whether the son-in-law was angry or not.
However, thinking of being raped by the Queen Mother, he could only marry King Su's youngest daughter in the end, Prime Minister Lu hardened his heart and told himself that his daughter was taken away, so why not allow him, a father-in-law, to vent his anger
When we came to the main hall, the servants had already set up the banquet.
Chu Baning glanced at the inner table separated by a screen, because men and women sit at different seats, even mother-in-law and son-in-law cannot sit together. So Ananda and the prime minister's wife sat in the inner seat, separated by a screen, so they couldn't see each other.
Although Prime Minister Lu is a high-ranking minister in the current dynasty, the population in the prime minister's mansion is very simple, only Prime Minister Lu, his wife and three sons.
Prime Minister Lu was born in Ningcheng, a small remote city in the south of the Yangtze River before he became an official. Settled down in the capital. Prime Minister Lu could only stay in the capital after picking up his wife from his hometown. Prime Minister Lu originally wanted to bring the old mother and brothers of the family to the capital together, but after various considerations and the fact that many relatives are in Ningcheng, the old man stayed in his hometown, and restrained the two brothers above Prime Minister Lu to prevent them from coming the capital.
The old lady was insightful. At that time, she thought that the younger son had just become an official, the emperor was getting old, and there were many princes. For the throne, the struggle for power among the princes was a bloodless disaster. mouth will lose their lives. It would be better to keep the whole family in their hometown, with her under their control, no one will cause trouble, and it will not give the son's political opponents a chance to join him. The old lady stayed like this until the new emperor came to power. The situation of the imperial court was gradually in the hands of the new emperor, and the country gradually stabilized. But at that time, the old lady was caught by a few newborn grandchildren, so she stayed in Ningcheng until now.
Therefore, for so many years, there are only a few people in the prime minister's mansion, compared with other families with several generations living under the same roof, it is indeed much quieter.
This is why Ananda, a concubine, grew up eating and drinking all the way. With such a simple family, and because Ananda's qualifications are too poor, whoever has the patience to trip her up is just asking for boredom.
"Come, come, my lord, try the dishes made by our chef. Although they are not as good as those in the palace, they are still delicious..." Lu Chengxiang smiled coherently, as if he didn't see Chu Baning's slightly frowned eyebrows. , Hurry up and wink at the three sons, let them be happy together as young people.
The eldest son of the prime minister's mansion, Lu Shaoqi, received a hint from his father, and hurried over to say hello, and said with a smile, "My lord, today is the day when my younger sister returns home. It is worth being happy. Shaoqi toasts you!" He drank the wine handed over in one gulp.
The second son, Lu Shaohua, smiled like a spring breeze, raised his wine glass and said: "Shaohua has always admired the prince as a man, and I never thought that we could become in-laws. Shaohua respects the prince."
Then the third son, Lu Shaoting, approached with a smile and said, "My lord, my younger sister, Ananda, please take care of me more in the future. Shaoting toasts you."
Seeing the three brothers smiling brighter than the other, Prime Minister Lu twirled his beard and smiled, as if not interfering with the young people, Chu Baning just smiled lightly, picked up a glass of wine in front of him, and drank with the three brothers .
On the other side, Ananda looked through the screen, but couldn't see the situation outside clearly, and felt a little worried. If Chu Baning is drunk, who will carry him back? According to his angry and resentful cleanliness that day, who can touch him? You won't be staying in the prime minister's mansion then, will you? And now that she is injured, it is even more impossible for her to act in person. I just hope that the three elder brothers will not be too harsh on their lives.
After drinking and eating, Prime Minister Lu asked people to send the eldest son and third son who were drunk and talking nonsense back to their courtyard. Only his second son was still struggling, but his handsome face was stained with blush. Red, it doesn't look like it will last long. Look at Su Wang's son-in-law again, still looking serious and calm, without even blushing, sitting upright.
Prime Minister Lu remembered that there were rumors in the palace that King Su was never drunk with a thousand cups, and no one had ever been able to get him drunk.
Prime Minister Lu regretted in his heart, it was really a mistake, instead of killing his son-in-law, he lost his three sons, really lost his wife and lost his army.
"...Your Majesty is huge, Shaohua admires him!" Although Lu Shaohua was drunk, he was still personable and had an extraordinary appearance, which showed that he was well-bred.
Chu Baning felt a little appreciative in his heart, and finally showed a shallow smile, "Shaohua is polite."
"My lord, I'm sorry Shaohua is too drunk to be with you, so let's go down first." Lu Shaohua knew where his limit was, and in order not to cause trouble for his little sister by doing something gaffe, he decided to leave quickly and hand over the scene to his father.
Chu Baning was also quite considerate, Wen Yan said a few words and asked him to leave.
Prime Minister Lu watched from the sidelines, both annoyed and happy. Annoyed that the three sons of the family did not get drunk with the prince and son-in-law when they went out together, and there was no way to vent their anger; happy that King Su had a good impression of his son. If there is no accident, King Su will help the court, and the future of the sons is not so much frustration.
In the evening, when the sky was full of burning clouds, King Su and Ananda left the Prime Minister's Mansion together.
Before leaving, the prime minister's wife took Ananda aside and said, "Ananda, your grandmother will come from Ningcheng next month, and I think some cousins will come with her. If you have time, you can come and visit her old man. By the way Meet the sisters."
When Ananda heard that she was the prime minister's father's wife, he naturally took heart and said, "It's only natural. When the time comes, please send someone to come and let my mother know. Ananda will come to see my grandmother and her old man."
"You are a filial person." The prime minister's wife was very satisfied, and she wanted to say something, but seeing that King Su who was not far away had already looked over, she could only straighten her face, indicating that she had finished speaking.
King Su's powerful aura, even the prime minister's wife, can't hold it!
Chu Baning came over satisfied, and directly picked up Aneng and bid farewell to the prime minister and his wife.
Prime Minister Lu and his wife watched Ananda being carried into the carriage of King Su's Mansion with black lines on their faces. It was not that there was no one outside the Prime Minister's Mansion. King Su. With Chu Baning's unscrupulous appearance, it is estimated that there will be new rumors tomorrow, and I don't know what the gambling situation in the private gambling house will become.
On the carriage, Ananda looked at the man who was still sitting upright beside him, and felt strange in his heart—is he drunk, or is he drunk, or is he drunk...
Looking at his face that was slowly turning red, his supposedly deep black eyes were filled with mist, making him extremely charming. At this time, the handsome face of a scholar became clear instead, and there was a sense of astonishment that was delicious. Because the usual King Su is too serious, coupled with his majestic demeanor and strong aura, people often ignore his appearance.
Ananda's heart fluttered, and he was shamefully seduced by...
However, Ananda was ruthless and dared not stretch out his claws, so he could only gnaw his nails secretly, and secretly looked at his beautiful and delicious husband. It's just... Ananda scratched his paw desperately in his heart: Brother, aren't you already drunk, why do you have to look so serious? Make her very stressed!
Seemingly sensing Ananda's fiery gaze, Chu Baning turned to look at her, and his already low voice was a little lazy and sexy, "What's the matter?"
At this time, even if there is nothing to do, I still have to make a small matter. Ananda adjusted his expression to make himself look innocent: "My lord, I just remembered what my mother said just now. Grandma came to the capital from Ningcheng a month later. Ananda has been here for a long time. I haven't seen her old man, and I miss her a little."
"A month later... If nothing happens, then go back and stay for a few days." Chu Baning's tone was very relaxed.
Ananda had a surprised expression on his face, this man... is too easy to talk to. In this world, the constraints on women are very strict. If there is no accident, a married daughter will generally not return to her mother's house for a short stay. In such cases, the consent of the husband is often required. Husbands are generally not too happy for their wives to go back to their natal family, which shows that the husband is very incompetent. It's just like the old people in my mother's family celebrate their birthdays, and they only stay for a few days. And Ananda just came to the capital for his grandmother, not to celebrate his birthday, so he had no reason to go back to his mother's house for a short stay.
However, Ananda thanked King Su happily.
Ananda was sure, it turned out that King Su who was drunk was the best talker, and she would definitely pick him when he was drunk to talk about any difficult things in the future.
From the prime minister's mansion to Su Wang's mansion, it only takes one stick of incense, the carriage stopped very quickly, and Butler Qin was already guarding the door.
Chu Baning got out of the car first, and carried Ananda directly into the palace as in the morning. Although Butler Qin felt that this was against the rules, his prince was the rule, so he didn't say much. It's just that seeing the prince's face turned red, and after serving for so long, he knew that although he acted the same, he was already drunk, so he stopped talking and hurriedly ordered his servants to prepare bath water.
After the confusion, Ananda was sitting in front of the dresser combing her long slightly damp hair, Rucui was arranging her clothes, and Rulan lit the incense in the golden dragon.
Chu Baning opened the curtain and came in, glanced at the two maids in the room, and frowned slightly - this was the expression of the prince's displeasure, Ru Lan saluted with a wink, and then dragged Ru Cui away.
After a while, Nanny An came in with a bowl of sake soup on the tray in her hand.
"My lord, the hangover soup is here."
Nanny An handed the hangover soup to Chu Baning, and after Chu Baning finished drinking, she bowed her knees and saluted before going out without the slightest procrastination, presumably she knew the master's living habits very well.
Ananda looked at Chu Baning with some concern. When others get drunk, they will always do some gaffes, commonly known as drunkenness. And this person, obviously drunk, acted normally, only his drunkenness could be seen from his eyes that were no longer sharp and quiet.
Sitting under the lamp, Su Wang didn't know what he was thinking, and knocked on the table with his hands very regularly.
In this regular voice, Ananda felt a sense of peace in her heart, picked up the needle money on the side and embroidered carefully, she wanted to make a purse for Chu Baning. After a man gets married, his wife takes care of all the clothes on his body. Now that Ananda was married to him, he naturally started to prepare for King Su.
The night was getting dark, and when Ananda finished embroidering the bamboo leaves on the purse, he found that Chu Baning had stopped thinking, and his eyes were staring at her.
Ananda's heart skipped a few beats, feeling that she was a little white rabbit being watched by wolves, which gave her the urge to run away.
"Princess, it's late at night, let's do these things tomorrow." Chu Baning said, got up and picked Ananda up and walked directly to the big bed.
The bed curtain was put down, and in the darkness, Ananda could smell the faint smell of alcohol on the man on his body, a bit like the best bamboo leaf sake, mellow and sweet, making people drunk.
"Ananda, father-in-law loves you very much..." Chu Baning kissed Ananda's mouth and whispered.
"Ah, yes, is that so?" Ananda was a little nervous, stretched out his hands to clasp the smooth shoulders of the man on his body, and stammered to explain to his father: "My lord, please don't take things to heart today. Daddy is very kind to everyone. Son-in-law will be like this, when the second sister and third sister got married last year, the two brothers-in-law were also given a lot of alcohol by the father and the three brothers, and the father said that this is the tradition of marrying daughters in our family..." Ananda felt that he couldn't break it.
But Chu Baning was very interested in hearing it, with a slight smile in his voice: "My father-in-law is an interesting person. But they are a little too young to get my king drunk."
Ananda laughed dryly, but did not speak.
Talking time is over, and sex begins.
Chu Baning was very enthusiastic tonight, Ananda was exhausted but could not rest, and wailed in his heart for a long time: Although this man is easy to talk when drunk, he is very good at torturing her!
