Su Li's eyes flashed, and within two words, she already had no good impression of this nominal father.
. He didn't let Su Chun mention anything wrong with Su Qin, but he didn't know that Dongfang Ze had seen everything Su Qin did today. Dongfang Ze, on the other hand, had no expression on his face at this moment and raised his hand to stop him: "This is not the first time that the king and the second lady have met, so there is no need to be so polite. Unexpectedly, the second lady's boudoir is as unexpected as the lady herself... It seems that the distinction between the prime minister and the concubine is also The difference between Jing and Wei is clear!"
By the time he said the last sentence, his tone had already taken on an unexplained coldness.
Su Xiangru's expression suddenly changed. Dongfangze has outstanding talents and has made many achievements in the court, but he was suppressed by the Queen's party on the grounds that he was a concubine. As Dongfangze's most powerful supporter, Su Xiangru has always advocated meritocracy and not concubines, so he has won Dongfangze's trust. Now, in his own family, the lineage is clearly divided, and it is inevitable that there is a conflict between what he means and what he says.
Su Xiangru's face turned a little pale, and he couldn't tell for a moment. It was a mistake no matter what.
The atmosphere suddenly became awkward.
There seemed to be a cold air flowing quietly in the small room. After a while, Su Xiangru's forehead started to sweat slightly. Just as he was about to answer, Su Li stood up and said, "Your Majesty, you have misunderstood! My father is busy with official duties, so my wife should take care of everything at home. She took pity on my weak body and couldn't bear the noise, so she placed me here specially. His will.”
She smiled and explained that although it was hard to believe, it was easy to turn the undercurrent into nothingness. Not only Su Xiangru and his son were surprised, Dongfang Ze was also surprised.
His thoughtful eyes roamed back and forth across her face. Dongfangze raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "Is this really true? Then I really blamed the prime minister wrongly!"
"I don't dare to do this! It's my fault that I didn't notice this matter. Although my wife thought about my daughter, my arrangements were inappropriate. This place is simple and remote, no wonder the prince misunderstood me." Su Xiangru has been immersed in officialdom for a long time. Whenever there is a step, he will take advantage of it. Next, lies sound better than the truth. The busy man called the housekeeper and ordered: "Immediately order someone to tidy up the yard next to the young master, and the second lady will move there tomorrow."
"Yes." The butler accepted the order and was about to exit, but was stopped by Su Li.
Su Xiangru's brows furrowed slightly, as if to say, are you still not satisfied with this
Su Li respectfully replied: "Thank you for your care, father! My daughter is used to everything here. I'm afraid she won't be able to adapt to it if she changes places. I ask her father to take it back!"
She lowered her head and begged, speaking sincerely, which surprised several people in the room.
. As the daughter of the Prime Minister, she has been living here for more than ten years. She finally has the opportunity to improve her residence and improve her status. Most people can only dream of it, but she didn't expect her to refuse! Dongfangze's eyes flashed, and the interest in his eyes became more intense.
Su Xiangru did not force it, and instead ordered her servants to rearrange the small courtyard to make her stay as comfortable as possible. In addition, he asked people to send two more girls to serve him, but Su Li refused. Originally, it was not difficult to change residences. The reason why she wanted to stay here was because it was a quiet place with few people, which made it convenient for her to practice martial arts at night. How could she ask for more servants and cause trouble
After the arrangements were made, Su Xiangru invited Dongfang Ze to the front hall for a banquet, and his words were extremely warm and sincere. Dongfang Ze glanced at Su Li's face and said with a smile, "Second Miss, please come too."
Everyone was stunned for a moment, but no one objected. Dongfang Ze strode out the door. When he saw Wan Xin, he paused slightly and left quietly.
The Flower Hall of the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Gold bottles and jade cups, fine wines and delicacies are all laid out for the arrival of distinguished guests.
The air is filled with the aroma of food and the aroma of wine. Everyone sat down, but Su Chun had to go out temporarily for some unknown reason. Su Xiangru knew that his son had always disliked interacting with Dongfang Zeduo, so although he was unhappy, he gave up. There were only five people left at the table, and the atmosphere was very harmonious as they pushed cups and changed cups, laughing and chatting.
Su Qin changed into a scarlet dress, which was very gorgeous. I don’t know how many layers of makeup were applied to her face, but it matched Su Li’s face, who was wearing plain clothes and no make-up, and looked natural.
Su Xiangru raised his glass and said with a smile: "Today the prince is willing to show his favor and come to my residence, I am honored to do so. I will drink this glass of wine first."
The bottom of the cup is turned upward, and there is really not a drop left. Dongfang Ze then drank a cup and smiled lightly.
Su Xiangru smiled again and said, "Qin'er, why don't you pour wine for the prince?"
Su Qin was overjoyed. She quickly picked up the wine bottle and walked to Dongfang Ze. While pouring wine for him, she kept glancing at him.
Prince Zhenning, Dongfangze, was the most handsome and powerful prince in the Sheng Kingdom. With just one glance, he could make a woman lose her soul and lose her heart. It certainly lives up to its reputation! Su Qin must not miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!
"Your Majesty, Qin'er, here's a toast to you." His eyes were wandering, and he raised his glass and took a sip. Su Qin seemed to have completely forgotten the scene of being bumped into in the garden.
Su Li couldn't help but curl up her lips and sneer. She lowered her head and ate silently, hiding the mocking look between her lips.
.
Dongfangze's eyes were smiling, and he took a sip. The spring light passed between his brows, and he was elegant and charming, which was breathtaking. Su Qin immediately opened her eyes wide and was so fascinated that she blurted out involuntarily: "Your Majesty looks so good-looking when he smiles! There must be no more handsome man than Your Majesty in this world!"
The handsome smile suddenly faded, and the cold light in Dongfangze's eyes flashed across her face like an ice needle. Su Qin was immediately frightened, her legs became weak with fright, and she knelt on the ground with a thump, not daring to express her anger.
Su Xiangru's face was extremely ugly, and he scolded him sternly: "Qin'er is so bold! You are talking nonsense and offending the prince. Why don't you kowtow to the prince to apologize!"
Su Qin literally knocked her head to the ground, trembling and almost crying, "Qin'er... I know my mistake, please forgive me!"
Dongfang Ze glanced at her lightly, playing with the small jade cup in his palm without saying a word.
The atmosphere in the hall became stagnant for a moment, and the delicacies from the mountains and seas that were still steaming just now suddenly became cold and tasteless.
Everyone at the table felt their hearts sink, and for a moment no one dared to speak to break the silence.
Su Li quietly raised her eyes and saw Su Qin, who was extremely excited before, now trembling slightly. Mrs. Su opened her mouth several times, but could not spit out a word. Unexpectedly, these people are usually very powerful, but when they are in front of Dongfang Ze, they all seem to become timid little men.
Su Li couldn't help but sneer secretly, turned her eyes slightly, suddenly stood up and said with a smile: "Father is too serious!"
Several stern looks were cast at Su Li, as if unaware, he only smiled softly and said: "The grace of King Zhenning is unparalleled in the world. My sister just told the truth. Even if it offended, it was not intentional, Your Majesty." You have a broad mind, how can I blame you? Sister, you better get up quickly!"
Su Qin was dubious and stared at her.
Dongfangze put down his wine glass, stared at her for a long time, and suddenly smiled.
"I have heard that the second young lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion is timid and timid. But when I saw you today, I thought you were eloquent, bold and careful. Are you really Su Li?!" The tone was joking, with a hint of fear. The casual question attracted a few people's attention.
