Ordinarily, although Xia Yuanqiu is the fiancée of His Highness Prince Jing, she is not married to Prince Jing and has no title, so she should not appear at this table.
Mrs. Hou Bo and the princess and county lord present here have all participated in palace banquets and are no strangers to Xia Yuanqiu. Seeing her there, they have no objection to her, but instead feel a desire to make friends.
At the palace banquet that day, His Highness Prince Jing showed great love to her. There was a lot of affection between the two of them, and they were very happy with each other. Regardless of whether she was the legitimate daughter of the Prime Minister or not, the Emperor's favor for her and Prince Jing's affection for her were all alone. It was only a matter of time before she became Princess Jing.
And Princess Jing may also be the future queen and the mother of a country. If she can establish some friendship now, it will be beneficial to everyone.
In the front hall, Mr. Ding arranged Zhuo Zhonghai and Zhu Yan at a table. To Mr. Ding, the relationship between the two was the father-in-law and the prospective son-in-law. Although they were quite different in status, they were in love and sat down. It doesn't matter if you sit at a table.
The ministers in the DPRK are accustomed to fawning over each other, and in the circle of nobles in the capital, there is never any real secret. The fact that Divine Doctor Xia returned to Zhuo Mansion has long been known to everyone. Now that Divine Doctor Xia has returned Zhuo Mansion, that is to recognize the ancestor and return to the sect. Zhuo Zhonghai will become the future father-in-law of His Highness Prince Jing, and even the future father-in-law.
How could they let go of such a good opportunity for friendship
So everyone came up one after another to toast Zhuo Zhonghai and express their goodwill, praising Zhuo Zhonghai for being so lucky and proud to have given birth to a golden phoenix.
Zhuo Zhonghai was in trouble, so he could only force a smile to deal with it. Although he knew that everyone was relying on Prince Jing's face to please him so much, he still enjoyed this feeling from the bottom of his heart, as if he had returned to many years ago. On the day when he was the top pick in high school, he was so popular that he was as popular as the stars over the moon.
However, this dreamlike scene did not last long.
Master Ding raised his glass to His Royal Highness Prince Jing and said with a smile: "Your Highness Prince Jing, I heard that Miss Yuzhuo not only has great medical skills, but is also proficient in the art of refining medicine?"
Prince Jing nodded with a smile: "Indeed, Yuan Qiu is not only good at medicine, but also good at refining medicine. She is a genius in this area." He took an elegant sip of the wine, put the glass down gently, and turned to look at Ding. Your Excellency, his face is as gentle as jade, but his tone is deep and cold: "Master Ding, Yuanqiu's surname is Xia, not Zhuo. I hope that Master Ding and other lords will not confuse their surnames."
All the ministers present looked at each other in confusion, and looked at Zhuo Zhonghai one after another. They saw that Zhuo Zhonghai looked extremely embarrassed, but also had a look of being unable to argue. Only then did everyone gradually understand that they had moved back. Zhuo Mansion does not mean recognizing one’s ancestors and returning to the clan—
At this time, a servant came to report: "Your Majesty, your lord, Miss Han has fainted again!"
Hearing this, Lord Ding looked troubled and turned towards Prince Jing and said, "Your Majesty, since Miss Han has already suffered enough, let's just leave it at that. No little girl can bear this kind of punishment."
With a smile on his jade face, Prince Jing said to Master Ding, "I never expected that Master Ding would actually have a heart of a Bodhisattva. Anyway, I will give you this face today."
Master Ding also laughed when he heard this and said: "Your Majesty is joking, but after all, Miss Han is young and is as big as Wei Chen's daughter. Wei Chen always feels a little unbearable when he sees her."
Prince Jing nodded, glanced at Zhuo Zhonghai with a vague look, and said softly: "It's good that Mr. Ding can take care of others. It's just that some people are indifferent even though they know that their daughters are being bullied. I really don't know. How can such a man deserve to be a father?”
