Jiang Li and his party entered the palace. The palace man who led the way was in front, and Jiang Li walked behind. Jiang Jingrui also noticed the eyes of those official ladies looking at Jiang Li before. He wanted to make fun of Jiang Li by this. As soon as he turned his head and saw Jiang Li's light expression, he seemed not very happy, so he rationally stopped talking and didn't dare to say more.
It is strange that he is not afraid of anyone in the Jiang family, but he is always afraid of Jiang Li. Although Jiang Li always smiles, even when he smiles, he can also tell when Jiang Li smiles politely, perfunctorily, and when he is angry.
It's better not to provoke an angry girl, especially this girl is still Jiang Li.
When she arrived at the palace, Jiang Li found that there were not many courtiers who rewarded her with merits today, at least not as many as the previous Palace Banquet. Take a closer look, Jiang Li understood something in her heart. There are not a few people involved in the right phase of King Cheng. This time, many people have been cleaned up, and almost half of them are important ministers. Of course, this does not mean that Beiyan's court situation is turbulent. Emperor Hong Xiaodi is afraid that long ago, he prepared for today and began to support the new rich early. Now these ambitious old ministers have vacated their seats, just to make way for the new. These new ministers are absolutely loyal to Emperor Hong Xiao. After even the old ministers of Jiang Yuanbai abdicated one after another, the pattern in the court was completely different from that in the past, and they were all the people of emperor Hong Xiao.
Jiang Yuanbai looked at the people around him, wondering if he also thought of this layer, and looked a little different.
Jiang Li thought Liu Xu would be here today. After looking around, she didn't see Mrs. Liu. If you want to come to today's Palace Banquet, Mrs. Liu is not invited. It seems that all the people who come are dignitaries and upstarts. As chengdelang, it's not his turn to come.
However, in this way, Jiang Li did not know familiar friends. Jiang Jingrui and Jiang Jingyou had two brothers, and they soon went to talk with them. Jiang Li stood in the corner of the hall, standing with Lu Shi. Suddenly, someone called her reputation: "Miss Jiang ER!"
Jiang Li looked back and found that it was Yin Zhiqing who called her behind her back.
Jiang Li hurriedly said, "Lord of Pingyang County."
Yan Zhiqing came over and said with a happy smile, "I saw you as soon as I arrived. Have you just arrived?"
Jiang Li nodded and looked at Yan Zhiqing. Yan Zhiqing's dress today is really beautiful. She was wearing a peacock patterned brocade dress, a rose red long tailed Luan skirt, with bright lips and teeth, and looked forward to it. Rao Shi could not help but praise Jiang Li in her heart, what a beautiful woman with a lotus face.
Yan Zhiqing was charming and amazing, but her temperament was completely different and straightforward. She stretched out her hand to pull Jiang Li, as if she was very familiar. She said, "my brother is over there. Go, go with me and say hello to him."
Before Jiang Li could speak, Lu Shi said with a smile, "Xiao Li, just go. It happens that the prince's son is also there. It's not interesting to stay with me in your young girl's house."
Mrs. Jiang also nodded. Jiang Li shook her head in her heart, but she could only smile and say, "OK."
Yin Zhili was standing outside the temple, talking to a young man. In fact, he had been living in the clouds before, and had no intersection with the people in Yanjing city. But strangely, these official children in Yanjing city don't seem to dislike him at all. He didn't mean to be exclusive, and even seemed to have a good relationship with him. In Jiang Li's heart, there is another layer of concern about Yin Zhili. It is not easy to do this. Most of the official sons and noble women in Yanjing regard themselves highly and are unwilling to be with people they don't look up to. Even Jiang Li came to Yanjing city for a year. Although you are Miss Jiang, you have no good partners. This is of course because Jiang Li is unwilling to flatter them, but they themselves resisted Jiang Li from the beginning to integrate into the circle of noble women.
Yan Zhiqing shouted, "brother."
Yan Zhili just finished talking with the person in front of him and was about to leave. Hearing the cry of Yan Zhiqing, he looked back and saw Jiang Li was stunned. Then a smile appeared in his eyes and said in a warm voice, "Miss Jiang er."
"Master Yin." Jiang Li replied.
Yan Zhiqing winked: "you say it first, I'll go and tell my mother first." Before Yan Zhili finished speaking, she ran away first. Only Jiang Li and Yin Zhili stood together.
Yin Zhili was a little helpless: "sorry, sister..."
"The county Lord is innocent and cute. Master Yin doesn't have to mind." Jiang Li laughed.
Hearing this, Yan Zhili relaxed and said with a smile, "Miss Jiang is still so considerate."
Standing together, they naturally attracted the attention of many people. The man in white is warm, handsome and genial. The girl in green clothes is smart, beautiful and clever, but she is a pair of beautiful people. Yin Zhili's appearance and family background were outstanding, and naturally many girls' families favored him. Those who wanted to see this scene were half cooled. If the Yin family and the yuan family marry, there will be nothing else. According to today's appearance, Yin Zhili and Jiang Li seem to be familiar with each other. Could it be that there has been this clue for a long time?
Jiang Li felt a lot of suspicious eyes on her, but she was not nervous at all. In the eyes of Yin Zhili, Jiang Li didn't dislike staying with him. He looked at Jiang Li and said strangely, "why didn't Miss Jiang take the fan she gave you?"
"Fan?" Jiang Li was stunned and suddenly remembered the fan confiscated by Ji Heng. Ji Heng said, "try receiving gifts from other men.".
He just took away the fan and hasn't returned it yet. He doesn't know how to deal with it. Jiang Li's heart was funny, and she unconsciously smiled on her face. Seeing her like this, Yin Zhili asked softly, "Miss Jiang?"
Jiang Li regained consciousness and said, "that fan... The summer is coming to an end. I looked at the day and put it away."
Yin Zhili was stunned.
Jiang Li wanted to talk nonsense again. Suddenly, a voice came from behind her. The voice was lazy, with a little smile, and spoke slowly.
"Often afraid of Autumn Festival, the cool wind seizes the heat, abandon it in the trunk, and refuse it in gratitude." With a smile on his face, he asked meaningfully, "who does Miss Jiang Er compare to an abandoned woman?"
Jiang Li looked back and saw Ji Heng coming over somehow.
He had just arrived. Today, he was also dressed in a robe with black peonies on a red background. A gorgeous and deep pattern was worn on him, but it was a strange fit. A man doesn't have to paint his face. Even so, standing here, he compares his daughter's house full of wonders, and no one will be eclipsed in his long, affectionate amber eyes.
He stood behind Jiang Li, and in front of Jiang Li stood Yin Zhili. Ji Hu was very tall, even a little taller than Yin Zhili. He just looked at them from a commanding position and stroked his fan with a smile. The fan was unfolded inch by inch, and the Golden Peony on it was extremely enchanting and Soul-catching. At the handle of the fan, a bloody butterfly flew and danced.
Yan Zhili was stunned for a moment, and his eyes followed the fan. Suddenly, he felt that the fan he gave to Jiang Li was really dull and gloomy. His eyes turned from the fan to between Jiang Li and Ji Heng.
Young men are flirtatious and gorgeous, and ginger and pear are pure and refined. Standing together, they don't have a strange feeling. Standing here, they will make others feel ashamed and make people feel that they can't get in between the two anyway.
That's how it fits.
"My Lord." Jiang Li chin first.
Hearing Jiang Li's words, Yan Zhili came back to God. He had heard the name of the Duke of Su. Also know that Yan Zhiqing has been paying close attention to him. The last time he glanced at him, he was not as amazing as this time. He just wanted to salute Ji Chen, but Ji Chen didn't look at him, and passed by him. I don't know if it was Yan Zhili's illusion. He felt that Ji Chen seemed to look at him, with ironic and contemptuous eyes.
Jiang Li suddenly felt a little embarrassed, and secretly scolded Ji Heng in her heart. Why should she make a fool of Yin Zhili in front of her, so how can she get off the stage.
Yin Zhili was very good-natured. After Ji Heng left, he smiled and said, "today, when I saw the Duke of Su, I really deserve my reputation."
Jiang Li looked at Yin Zhili carefully, and said that Yin Zhili was really without a trace of resentment, as if he was sincere praise. Whether pretending or real, he can do this, at least not embarrassing.
Yin Zhili laughed again, "what Miss Jiang just said is that autumn is coming, and the fan is useless. It's best to put it away." He said so, but in his heart he read the poem Ji Heng said. The meaning of that poem is that the fan is discarded in autumn, just like a discarded woman. Is Ji Heng's words a reminder? Does Miss Jiang Er mean anything else when talking about autumn fans?
His smile was a little absent-minded.
Jiang Li didn't want to talk more with Yin Zhili, so she was a little distracted, so she took the opportunity to find an excuse to return to Lu. After that, Jiang Li always followed Lu Shi, and she really didn't want to deal with the Yin sisters, regardless of Lu Shi's hint to her, pretending not to know.
Soon after, the emperor and Yin Zhan arrived.
Today, Japan set up a palace banquet for Yin Zhan to celebrate his military exploits. Naturally, Yin Zhan was the main one. Jiang Li also saw Yin Zhan for the first time. Yin Zhan was not quite the same as she imagined. She thought Yin Zhan would be a rough man like Xiao Ye Mingyu. She didn't expect him to be very handsome, handsome and wild. Now, I'm afraid he is also the sweetheart of many women. In contrast, Yin Zhili and Yin Zhan are not at all like each other. Yan Zhan's contour and facial features are very deep, very similar to Yan Zhili's feelings, but Yan Zhili is as gentle as ink landscape painting, soft and in a mess.
Ji Heng sat in a corner of the hall, and Jiang Li was too far away from him, so he couldn't see what Ji Heng's expression was. Therefore, he didn't know whether Ji Heng looked at Yin Zhan or what his eyes were.
The Palace Banquet began soon.
Jiang Li bowed her head and ate slowly. Up to now, Emperor Hong Xiao has not mentioned the reward, and Yin Zhan naturally did not propose to marry. The Empress Dowager and the queen are also there. The empress dowager, who had never been out of the palace of tranquility, looked very happy today and spoke to the queen. The concubines, who were once favored for a time, are now in ruins. The courtiers in the court are ready to move, trying to figure out which daughter is the best to enter the palace. Hong Xiaodi is now in a stable position. Without becoming king, there are no worries about the future, and he is young. If a daughter's family enters the eyes of Hong Xiaodi, it will naturally lead the family to prosperity.
Therefore, tonight, many young women's families try their best to dress up as beautiful as immortals.
However, Jiang Li didn't think so in her heart. From the affairs of Li Bin, it can be seen that this emperor is not an emperor obsessed with women. It's not so easy to be a second concubine. In the fragrance, Yan Zhiqing was particularly prominent. Her natural beauty and good dress made it difficult for people not to pay attention. Others probably thought that she was also thinking of entering the palace, but Jiang Li knew that the purpose of Yan Zhiqing was clearly Ji Hu.
Just see that they are wearing red together today.
The Lord of Pingyang County also took great pains this time. Unfortunately, she didn't know that Ji Heng and the Yan family had a deep hatred and were destined to kill each other. Yan Zhiqing's mind was also destined to lead to bitter consequences.
After three rounds of wine, when the wine was hot, Emperor Hong Xiaodi talked about Yin Zhan's contribution to defeating the rebels of King Cheng. He said, "the king of Xia Jun made great contributions to defeating King Cheng, and should be rewarded, but also a heavy reward!"
Yan Zhan came from the center of the table, and everyone stared at him. He lifted the corner of his robe and knelt down to Emperor Hong Xiao, saying, "it is the duty of Wei Chen to subdue the rebels. Wei Chen dare not take credit for it, because his majesty ordered it properly. Wei Chen has one thing to ask, and I hope your majesty will grant his request for the sake of Wei Chen's military pacification."
"Oh? What request does the king of Xia County have, but it doesn't matter." The young emperor seemed to be in a good mood. He looked at his ministers with a smile and was very kind.
"I have a son, and now there are three in twenty," Yin Zhan said, "the dog loves the second miss of the first auxiliary Jiang family. I risked my life to beg your majesty to marry the dog and the second miss of the Jiang family. I'm very grateful."
As soon as this word came out, everyone in the hall became quiet, and even a needle fell on the ground.
Yan Zhan kept kneeling, and Yan Zhili was stunned at first, and then he also stood up and knelt down. Hong Xiaodi didn't answer for a moment, just stared at Yin Zhan, and didn't know what he was thinking.
The women's eyes were half envious and half envious looking at Jiang Li. The Yan family was willing to exchange their military achievements for a gift of marriage, which showed that they valued Jiang Li very much. The men were jealous of Yan Zhili. Yan Zhan said so, Emperor Hong Xiao would certainly promise. Miss Jiang ER was afraid that she would become the wife of the Yan Family in the future.
Jiang Yuanbai's hand folded in his sleeve gradually shook up, and sweat began to seep from his forehead. Not because of anything else, but because emperor Hong Xiao didn't promise.
Why didn't emperor Hong Xiaodi agree? It's just a gift marriage.
Jiang Yuanbai suddenly thought of what Jiang Li had said to him before. The Yanjing court was still unstable. It was not a good thing to get too close to the Yin family too early. Be careful to get into trouble. At that time, he only felt that Jiang Li was a little alarmist. After all, Yin Zhan had made such great contributions, and had not done anything extraordinary. He was also very calm in the clouds for so many years. Emperor Hong Xiao seemed to trust him very much, otherwise he would not let Yin Zhan come back to solve the difficulties when King Cheng raised an issue.
But what does it mean now? Did the emperor not completely believe in Yin Zhan?
As time slowly passed, Emperor Hong Xiao just looked at the Yan family father and son who knelt to the ground and thought. Gradually, the courtiers also felt something wrong, and they all dared not go out, quietly looking at the scene in front of them.
The Yan family father and son did not move, and Yan Zhiqing gradually blushed, and she did not know what was going on. She thought everything would come naturally, but it didn't seem so smooth. Under the table, Mrs. Yin held Yan Zhiqing's hand, and Yan Zhiqing was better.
The Empress Dowager saw that emperor Hong Xiaodi was reluctant to speak, and said with a smile, "Your Majesty, the AI family felt that this marriage was also good. The two children looked very well matched, and the second miss of the yuan family was a good one. The son of the Yan family, the AI family looked very outstanding."
As soon as the Empress Dowager's voice fell, suddenly someone laughed. Because no one spoke in the silent hall, this with a somewhat ironic smile, it clearly floated into the ears of everyone.
Yan Zhiqing was surprised that at this time, someone dared to speak like this. Was it not against the Empress Dowager? She followed her voice and saw the red figure she had seen twice, each time breathtaking, slowly revealing itself in the corner and in the lights.
Ji Heng held his head in one hand and poured the wine himself with a wine pot in one hand. He looked lazy and acted casually. In his long or stunned or suspicious eyes, he put on a posture that was irrelevant, but it was particularly touching. It seemed that he felt everyone's eyes. He looked sideways, and a pair of smiling crested eyes were almost drowning. He said slowly, "ha ha, Xia Jun Wang, I'm afraid you're a little late."
Yan Zhan also looked at Ji Heng, and a bad premonition suddenly floated in Yan Zhili's heart. The next moment, he heard Hong Xiaodi laughing loudly on his head. Hong Xiaodi said, "yes, Aiqing, you are a little late this time. Before you, someone had asked me for my head. I even made a decree to marry Duke Su and Miss Jiang er. Duke su."
Duke Su hurriedly stepped forward, took out the imperial edict from the eunuch's hand, and sang in a long voice: "carry it by heaven, the emperor ordered that Ji Heng, Duke of the state of Su, should be filial and have a good reputation for both literature and martial arts. Now he is at the age of Chong Ling, and the first assistant is Jiang Li, the second miss of the Jiang family, who is sixteen years old. He is dignified and handsome. Therefore, I made an imperial decree to be the wife of Duke of the state of Su, and get married on a certain date. Qin this!"
This marriage ceremony was really surprising, and everyone couldn't turn around. It is clear that the king of Xia asked the emperor to marry Miss Jiang ER and the prince's son, but finally he married Miss Jiang ER and Duke su. Duke Su?
The Empress Dowager's face changed slightly, Yan Zhan lowered his head and couldn't see his expression clearly, and Yan Zhili's heart seemed to be blocked by a stone. The emperor not only didn't marry him and Jiang Li, but also married Jiang Li and Su Guogong, which undoubtedly slapped their father and son in the face and made them lose face.
"Lord Jiang," father Su reminded, "take the order!"
Jiang Yuanbai suddenly froze, and then came to his senses. He stood up and hurriedly got up to accept the order. Because he was too flustered and stunned, he almost tripped. Instead, Jiang Li was calm and composed. Ji Heng also came over, lifted the corner of his robe, smiled and said, "thank you for your success."
Emperor Hong Xiaodi looked at Ji Heng and seemed very satisfied with his marriage. However, Ji Heng seemed to be the only one who was happy, and Jiang Li would not show it. For others, surprise was greater than surprise.
Emperor Hong Xiaodi looked at Yin Zhan again and said with a generous smile, "Xia Jun Wang, it's not that I don't want to promise you this time, but you're a little late. I see your son is indeed an outstanding talent. It's better for you to say that if you look at other girls, as long as they are unmarried and have no engagement, I'll marry them immediately."
The full daughter's house was suddenly excited again, looking forward to Yan Zhan. Married to the Yin family, is the prince's son, who can always become the princess of the county in the future. In addition, Yin Zhili is indeed handsome and gentle, which is desirable.
Yan Zhan raised his head, half lost and half relieved, "that's not necessary. This time, Miss Jiang Er has no luck with the dog, and can't blame others." He turned to Jiang Yuanbai and Jiang Li and said with a smile, "Congratulations, Mr. Jiang, Miss Jiang!"
Jiang Yuanbai reluctantly smiled. He only knew one thing. Emperor Hong Xiaodi was afraid that his attitude towards the king of Xia County was not as simple as trust. Today, the undercurrent behind the marriage ceremony surged, making him sweat. I vaguely felt that I had made a wrong choice to agree to the Yin family's marriage before, but now it has implicated the yuan family, and Emperor Hong Xiaodi may also have doubts about the yuan family.
Jiang Li gave Yin Zhan a big smile. Yin Zhan saw that Jiang Li was not shy, but in such a mood. His eyes narrowed, and his eyes turned on Jiang Li and Ji Heng, which was why he took it back.
This marriage was unexpected. Next, Emperor Hong Xiao rewarded Yin Zhan with many gold, silver and jewelry. Because Yin Zhili's proposal failed, he had to make some compensation. When they returned to the table, the center of everyone's discussion had already changed. Jiang Li, Ji Heng and Yin Zhili became the beginning of everyone's discussion.
Ji Heng returned to the corner where he sat, and in the face of the eyes from all directions, he didn't care, and still slowly poured wine and drank it himself. Of course, those who watch Ji Heng also know his moody temperament. They dare not look blatantly, but secretly and carefully.
Compared with Jiang Li and Yin Zhili, they were a little unscrupulous.
When Jiang Li returned to the banquet, the rest of the Jiang family looked inexplicable, especially the old lady Jiang and the two brothers Jiang Yuanbai, whose faces were very ugly. Jiang Jingrui and Jiang Jingyou, as well as Lu Shi, did not know the hidden inside story. They just felt that the person who gave the marriage suddenly became Ji Heng. Compared with Yin Zhili, Ji Chen is moody, and of course, he is more difficult to meet. Not to mention being an uncle of the yuan family, even on weekdays, you have to hide far away.
Yan Zhiqing sat beside Yan Zhili, pale and shaky, almost crying. She originally thought that today was a happy event, and Jiang Li and Yin Zhili were firm facts. Her brother was all right, and Jiang Li and Yin Zhili got along well. The Jiang family also liked Yin Zhili, and there was no reason why this marriage could not succeed. However, it is really impossible.
Not only that, the person who gave the marriage to Jiang Li also became the Duke of Su Guo Ji.
Yan Zhiqing was a little confused. She only met Ji Heng twice, but each time, she left a stunning impression on Yan Zhiqing. Outsiders' evaluation of Su Guogong was cruel, but she felt that such a Ji Heng was more mysterious. Even though she didn't know anything about love, she also knew that Ji Xuan was the first man who attracted her for so many years. She originally felt that she was not in a hurry. She could slowly get to know Ji Hong, make friends with Ji Hong, and know that he was accompanying him, but suddenly, out of guard, Ji Hong had his duchess.
Yan Zhiqing only felt that God was joking with her.
Mrs. Yin looked at her anxiously, but there was nothing she could do. In fact, she could not speak in the Yan family, let alone change the imperial edict.
Yan Zhili, who was sitting next to Yan Zhan, although he smiled and didn't seem to pay attention to what had just happened, but if you look carefully at his drinking action, you can see that he was absent-minded.
Not only Yan Zhili, but also Yin Zhili himself thought that there would be no accident in this marriage. Reality severely slapped him in the face. Yan Zhili didn't feel embarrassed, but how, he just felt... Something strange.
Before the Palace Banquet, the beautiful Duke Su walked past him and read a poem slowly. Now think about it, it's full of ridicule from those who want to get it. Yin Zhili thought that he was indeed the autumn fan of Jiang Li. As soon as the autumn came, it had no effect, so it should be discarded.
Yan Zhili laughed with self mockery. He had lived for more than 20 years, with the wind and water, and countless girls liked him. He didn't expect that he would also have a day of love. He knew that he might not love Jiang Li very much, but he did like it very much. At least before that, he didn't take other girls so seriously.
That fan... Yan Zhili closed his eyes.
Ji Heng's gorgeous peony folding fan, which he gave to Jiang Li, is a white jade folding fan depicting pear flowers. He didn't know how Ji Heng and Jiang Li thought of the fan he gave him, but it must be... That he overestimated himself.
Please, Ji Xuan must have known about this marriage, so she can get the imperial edict ahead of her father. Does Jiang Li know?
Yin Zhili involuntarily turned his head slightly and looked at Jiang Li across the crowd.
The girl sat on the table with her back straight and her profile beautiful. There was a faint smile on her lips, which was no different from the smile she had faced Yan Zhili countless times. But Yin Zhili could clearly distinguish that her smile was a little more relaxed.
She really knew, and Yan Zhili's heart sank.
At this time, Yan Zhan's voice sounded in his ear, which was very slight, and only Yan Zhili heard it.
"Do what you should do. Now, don't be distracted."
Yin Zhili, a spirit, put on a gentle smile again.
In the high position, Emperor Hong Xiao looked at everything in front of him, as if full of interest and shallow smile. The queen sat aside in a regular way and said nothing. She was always so gentle and obedient, just like the Empress Dowager in her youth.
Empress Dowager... The Empress Dowager's armor gently crossed the chair, making a slight noise, and she didn't realize it, and her eyes swept on Yan Zhili and Yan Zhan, and then disappeared.
Nobody saw it.

Before Jiang Li could speak, Lu Shi said with a smile, "Xiao Li, just go. It happens that the prince's son is also there. It's not interesting to stay with me in your young girl's house."
Mrs. Jiang also nodded. Jiang Li shook her head in her heart, but she could only smile and say, "OK."
Yin Zhili was standing outside the temple, talking to a young man. In fact, he had been living in the clouds before, and had no intersection with the people in Yanjing city.

Yan Zhiqing winked: "you say it first, I'll go and tell my mother first." Before Yan Zhili finished speaking, she ran away first. Only Jiang Li and Yin Zhili stood together.
Yin Zhili was a little helpless: "sorry, sister..."
"The county Lord is innocent and cute. Master Yin doesn't have to mind." Jiang Li laughed.

He felt that Ji Chen seemed to look at him, with ironic and contemptuous eyes.
Jiang Li suddenly felt a little embarrassed, and secretly scolded Ji Heng in her heart. Why should she make a fool of Yin Zhili in front of her, so how can she get off the stage.
Yin Zhili was very good-natured. After Ji Heng left, he smiled and said, "today, when I saw the Duke of Su, I really deserve my reputation."
Jiang Li looked at Yin Zhili carefully, and said that Yin Zhili was really without a trace of resentment, as if he was sincere praise. Whether pretending or real, he can do this, at least not embarrassing.
Yin Zhili laughed again, "what Miss Jiang just said is that autumn is coming, and the fan is useless. It's best to put it away." He said so, but in his heart he read the poem Ji Heng said. The meaning of that poem is that the fan is discarded in autumn, just like a discarded woman. Is Ji Heng's words a reminder? Does Miss Jiang Er mean anything else when talking about autumn fans?
His smile was a little absent-minded.
Jiang Li didn't want to talk more with Yin Zhili, so she was a little distracted, so she took the opportunity to find an excuse to return to Lu. After that, Jiang Li always followed Lu Shi, and she really didn't want to deal with the Yin sisters, regardless of Lu Shi's hint to her, pretending not to know.
Soon after, the emperor and Yin Zhan arrived.
Today, Japan set up a palace banquet for Yin Zhan to celebrate his military exploits. Naturally, Yin Zhan was the main one. Jiang Li also saw Yin Zhan for the first time. Yin Zhan was not quite the same as she imagined. She thought Yin Zhan would be a rough man like Xiao Ye Mingyu. She didn't expect him to be very handsome, handsome and wild. Now, I'm afraid he is also the sweetheart of many women. In contrast, Yin Zhili and Yin Zhan are not at all like each other. Yan Zhan's contour and facial features are very deep, very similar to Yan Zhili's feelings, but Yan Zhili is as gentle as ink landscape painting, soft and in a mess.
Ji Heng sat in a corner of the hall, and Jiang Li was too far away from him, so he couldn't see what Ji Heng's expression was. Therefore, he didn't know whether Ji Heng looked at Yin Zhan or what his eyes were.
The Palace Banquet began soon.
Jiang Li bowed her head and ate slowly. Up to now, Emperor Hong Xiao has not mentioned the reward, and Yin Zhan naturally did not propose to marry. The Empress Dowager and the queen are also there. The empress dowager, who had never been out of the palace of tranquility, looked very happy today and spoke to the queen. The concubines, who were once favored for a time, are now in ruins. The courtiers in the court are ready to move, trying to figure out which daughter is the best to enter the palace. Hong Xiaodi is now in a stable position. Without becoming king, there are no worries about the future, and he is young. If a daughter's family enters the eyes of Hong Xiaodi, it will naturally lead the family to prosperity.
Therefore, tonight, many young women's families try their best to dress up as beautiful as immortals.
However, Jiang Li didn't think so in her heart. From the affairs of Li Bin, it can be seen that this emperor is not an emperor obsessed with women. It's not so easy to be a second concubine. In the fragrance, Yan Zhiqing was particularly prominent. Her natural beauty and good dress made it difficult for people not to pay attention. Others probably thought that she was also thinking of entering the palace, but Jiang Li knew that the purpose of Yan Zhiqing was clearly Ji Hu.
Just see that they are wearing red together today.
The Lord of Pingyang County also took great pains this time. Unfortunately, she didn't know that Ji Heng and the Yan family had a deep hatred and were destined to kill each other. Yan Zhiqing's mind was also destined to lead to bitter consequences.
After three rounds of wine, when the wine was hot, Emperor Hong Xiaodi talked about Yin Zhan's contribution to defeating the rebels of King Cheng. He said, "the king of Xia Jun made great contributions to defeating King Cheng, and should be rewarded, but also a heavy reward!"
Yan Zhan came from the center of the table, and everyone stared at him. He lifted the corner of his robe and knelt down to Emperor Hong Xiao, saying, "it is the duty of Wei Chen to subdue the rebels. Wei Chen dare not take credit for it, because his majesty ordered it properly. Wei Chen has one thing to ask, and I hope your majesty will grant his request for the sake of Wei Chen's military pacification."
"Oh? What request does the king of Xia County have, but it doesn't matter." The young emperor seemed to be in a good mood. He looked at his ministers with a smile and was very kind.
"I have a son, and now there are three in twenty," Yin Zhan said, "the dog loves the second miss of the first auxiliary Jiang family. I risked my life to beg your majesty to marry the dog and the second miss of the Jiang family. I'm very grateful."
As soon as this word came out, everyone in the hall became quiet, and even a needle fell on the ground.
Yan Zhan kept kneeling, and Yan Zhili was stunned at first, and then he also stood up and knelt down. Hong Xiaodi didn't answer for a moment, just stared at Yin Zhan, and didn't know what he was thinking.
The women's eyes were half envious and half envious looking at Jiang Li. The Yan family was willing to exchange their military achievements for a gift of marriage, which showed that they valued Jiang Li very much. The men were jealous of Yan Zhili. Yan Zhan said so, Emperor Hong Xiao would certainly promise. Miss Jiang ER was afraid that she would become the wife of the Yan Family in the future.
Jiang Yuanbai's hand folded in his sleeve gradually shook up, and sweat began to seep from his forehead. Not because of anything else, but because emperor Hong Xiao didn't promise.
Why didn't emperor Hong Xiaodi agree? It's just a gift marriage.
Jiang Yuanbai suddenly thought of what Jiang Li had said to him before. The Yanjing court was still unstable. It was not a good thing to get too close to the Yin family too early. Be careful to get into trouble. At that time, he only felt that Jiang Li was a little alarmist. After all, Yin Zhan had made such great contributions, and had not done anything extraordinary. He was also very calm in the clouds for so many years. Emperor Hong Xiao seemed to trust him very much, otherwise he would not let Yin Zhan come back to solve the difficulties when King Cheng raised an issue.
But what does it mean now? Did the emperor not completely believe in Yin Zhan?
As time slowly passed, Emperor Hong Xiao just looked at the Yan family father and son who knelt to the ground and thought. Gradually, the courtiers also felt something wrong, and they all dared not go out, quietly looking at the scene in front of them.
The Yan family father and son did not move, and Yan Zhiqing gradually blushed, and she did not know what was going on. She thought everything would come naturally, but it didn't seem so smooth. Under the table, Mrs. Yin held Yan Zhiqing's hand, and Yan Zhiqing was better.
The Empress Dowager saw that emperor Hong Xiaodi was reluctant to speak, and said with a smile, "Your Majesty, the AI family felt that this marriage was also good. The two children looked very well matched, and the second miss of the yuan family was a good one. The son of the Yan family, the AI family looked very outstanding."
As soon as the Empress Dowager's voice fell, suddenly someone laughed. Because no one spoke in the silent hall, this with a somewhat ironic smile, it clearly floated into the ears of everyone.
Yan Zhiqing was surprised that at this time, someone dared to speak like this. Was it not against the Empress Dowager? She followed her voice and saw the red figure she had seen twice, each time breathtaking, slowly revealing itself in the corner and in the lights.
Ji Heng held his head in one hand and poured the wine himself with a wine pot in one hand. He looked lazy and acted casually. In his long or stunned or suspicious eyes, he put on a posture that was irrelevant, but it was particularly touching. It seemed that he felt everyone's eyes. He looked sideways, and a pair of smiling crested eyes were almost drowning. He said slowly, "ha ha, Xia Jun Wang, I'm afraid you're a little late."
Yan Zhan also looked at Ji Heng, and a bad premonition suddenly floated in Yan Zhili's heart. The next moment, he heard Hong Xiaodi laughing loudly on his head. Hong Xiaodi said, "yes, Aiqing, you are a little late this time. Before you, someone had asked me for my head. I even made a decree to marry Duke Su and Miss Jiang er. Duke su."
Duke Su hurriedly stepped forward, took out the imperial edict from the eunuch's hand, and sang in a long voice: "carry it by heaven, the emperor ordered that Ji Heng, Duke of the state of Su, should be filial and have a good reputation for both literature and martial arts. Now he is at the age of Chong Ling, and the first assistant is Jiang Li, the second miss of the Jiang family, who is sixteen years old. He is dignified and handsome. Therefore, I made an imperial decree to be the wife of Duke of the state of Su, and get married on a certain date. Qin this!"
This marriage ceremony was really surprising, and everyone couldn't turn around. It is clear that the king of Xia asked the emperor to marry Miss Jiang ER and the prince's son, but finally he married Miss Jiang ER and Duke su. Duke Su?
The Empress Dowager's face changed slightly, Yan Zhan lowered his head and couldn't see his expression clearly, and Yan Zhili's heart seemed to be blocked by a stone. The emperor not only didn't marry him and Jiang Li, but also married Jiang Li and Su Guogong, which undoubtedly slapped their father and son in the face and made them lose face.
"Lord Jiang," father Su reminded, "take the order!"
Jiang Yuanbai suddenly froze, and then came to his senses. He stood up and hurriedly got up to accept the order. Because he was too flustered and stunned, he almost tripped. Instead, Jiang Li was calm and composed. Ji Heng also came over, lifted the corner of his robe, smiled and said, "thank you for your success."
Emperor Hong Xiaodi looked at Ji Heng and seemed very satisfied with his marriage. However, Ji Heng seemed to be the only one who was happy, and Jiang Li would not show it. For others, surprise was greater than surprise.
Emperor Hong Xiaodi looked at Yin Zhan again and said with a generous smile, "Xia Jun Wang, it's not that I don't want to promise you this time, but you're a little late. I see your son is indeed an outstanding talent. It's better for you to say that if you look at other girls, as long as they are unmarried and have no engagement, I'll marry them immediately."
The full daughter's house was suddenly excited again, looking forward to Yan Zhan. Married to the Yin family, is the prince's son, who can always become the princess of the county in the future. In addition, Yin Zhili is indeed handsome and gentle, which is desirable.
Yan Zhan raised his head, half lost and half relieved, "that's not necessary. This time, Miss Jiang Er has no luck with the dog, and can't blame others." He turned to Jiang Yuanbai and Jiang Li and said with a smile, "Congratulations, Mr. Jiang, Miss Jiang!"
Jiang Yuanbai reluctantly smiled. He only knew one thing. Emperor Hong Xiaodi was afraid that his attitude towards the king of Xia County was not as simple as trust. Today, the undercurrent behind the marriage ceremony surged, making him sweat. I vaguely felt that I had made a wrong choice to agree to the Yin family's marriage before, but now it has implicated the yuan family, and Emperor Hong Xiaodi may also have doubts about the yuan family.
Jiang Li gave Yin Zhan a big smile. Yin Zhan saw that Jiang Li was not shy, but in such a mood. His eyes narrowed, and his eyes turned on Jiang Li and Ji Heng, which was why he took it back.
This marriage was unexpected. Next, Emperor Hong Xiao rewarded Yin Zhan with many gold, silver and jewelry. Because Yin Zhili's proposal failed, he had to make some compensation. When they returned to the table, the center of everyone's discussion had already changed. Jiang Li, Ji Heng and Yin Zhili became the beginning of everyone's discussion.
Ji Heng returned to the corner where he sat, and in the face of the eyes from all directions, he didn't care, and still slowly poured wine and drank it himself. Of course, those who watch Ji Heng also know his moody temperament. They dare not look blatantly, but secretly and carefully.
Compared with Jiang Li and Yin Zhili, they were a little unscrupulous.
When Jiang Li returned to the banquet, the rest of the Jiang family looked inexplicable, especially the old lady Jiang and the two brothers Jiang Yuanbai, whose faces were very ugly. Jiang Jingrui and Jiang Jingyou, as well as Lu Shi, did not know the hidden inside story. They just felt that the person who gave the marriage suddenly became Ji Heng. Compared with Yin Zhili, Ji Chen is moody, and of course, he is more difficult to meet. Not to mention being an uncle of the yuan family, even on weekdays, you have to hide far away.
Yan Zhiqing sat beside Yan Zhili, pale and shaky, almost crying. She originally thought that today was a happy event, and Jiang Li and Yin Zhili were firm facts. Her brother was all right, and Jiang Li and Yin Zhili got along well. The Jiang family also liked Yin Zhili, and there was no reason why this marriage could not succeed. However, it is really impossible.
Not only that, the person who gave the marriage to Jiang Li also became the Duke of Su Guo Ji.
Yan Zhiqing was a little confused. She only met Ji Heng twice, but each time, she left a stunning impression on Yan Zhiqing. Outsiders' evaluation of Su Guogong was cruel, but she felt that such a Ji Heng was more mysterious. Even though she didn't know anything about love, she also knew that Ji Xuan was the first man who attracted her for so many years. She originally felt that she was not in a hurry. She could slowly get to know Ji Hong, make friends with Ji Hong, and know that he was accompanying him, but suddenly, out of guard, Ji Hong had his duchess.
Yan Zhiqing only felt that God was joking with her.
Mrs. Yin looked at her anxiously, but there was nothing she could do. In fact, she could not speak in the Yan family, let alone change the imperial edict.
Yan Zhili, who was sitting next to Yan Zhan, although he smiled and didn't seem to pay attention to what had just happened, but if you look carefully at his drinking action, you can see that he was absent-minded.
Not only Yan Zhili, but also Yin Zhili himself thought that there would be no accident in this marriage. Reality severely slapped him in the face. Yan Zhili didn't feel embarrassed, but how, he just felt... Something strange.
Before the Palace Banquet, the beautiful Duke Su walked past him and read a poem slowly. Now think about it, it's full of ridicule from those who want to get it. Yin Zhili thought that he was indeed the autumn fan of Jiang Li. As soon as the autumn came, it had no effect, so it should be discarded.
Yan Zhili laughed with self mockery. He had lived for more than 20 years, with the wind and water, and countless girls liked him. He didn't expect that he would also have a day of love. He knew that he might not love Jiang Li very much, but he did like it very much. At least before that, he didn't take other girls so seriously.
That fan... Yan Zhili closed his eyes.
Ji Heng's gorgeous peony folding fan, which he gave to Jiang Li, is a white jade folding fan depicting pear flowers. He didn't know how Ji Heng and Jiang Li thought of the fan he gave him, but it must be... That he overestimated himself.
Please, Ji Xuan must have known about this marriage, so she can get the imperial edict ahead of her father. Does Jiang Li know?
Yin Zhili involuntarily turned his head slightly and looked at Jiang Li across the crowd.
The girl sat on the table with her back straight and her profile beautiful. There was a faint smile on her lips, which was no different from the smile she had faced Yan Zhili countless times. But Yin Zhili could clearly distinguish that her smile was a little more relaxed.
She really knew, and Yan Zhili's heart sank.
At this time, Yan Zhan's voice sounded in his ear, which was very slight, and only Yan Zhili heard it.
"Do what you should do. Now, don't be distracted."
Yin Zhili, a spirit, put on a gentle smile again.
In the high position, Emperor Hong Xiao looked at everything in front of him, as if full of interest and shallow smile. The queen sat aside in a regular way and said nothing. She was always so gentle and obedient, just like the Empress Dowager in her youth.
Empress Dowager... The Empress Dowager's armor gently crossed the chair, making a slight noise, and she didn't realize it, and her eyes swept on Yan Zhili and Yan Zhan, and then disappeared.
Nobody saw it.
－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－
The big werewolf killing officially began~
Jiang Li and his party entered the palace. The palace man who led the way was in front, and Jiang Li walked behind. Jiang Jingrui also noticed the eyes of those official ladies looking at Jiang Li before. He wanted to make fun of Jiang Li by this. As soon as he turned his head and saw Jiang Li's light expression, he seemed not very happy, so he rationally stopped talking and didn't dare to say more.It is strange that he is not afraid of anyone in the Jiang family, but he is always afraid of Jiang Li. Although Jiang Li always smiles, even when he smiles, he can also tell when Jiang Li smiles politely, perfunctorily, and when he is angry.It's better not to provoke an angry girl, especially this girl is still Jiang Li.When she arrived at the palace, Jiang Li found that there were not many courtiers who rewarded her with merits today, at least not as many as the previous Palace Banquet. Take a closer look, Jiang Li understood something in her heart. There are not a few people involved in the right phase of King Cheng. This time, many people have been cleaned up, and almost half of them are important ministers. Of course, this does not mean that Beiyan's court situation is turbulent. Emperor Hong Xiaodi is afraid that long ago, he prepared for today and began to support the new rich early. Now these ambitious old ministers have vacated their seats, just to make way for the new. These new ministers are absolutely loyal to Emperor Hong Xiao. After even the old ministers of Jiang Yuanbai abdicated one after another, the pattern in the court was completely different from that in the past, and they were all the people of emperor Hong Xiao.Jiang Yuanbai looked at the people around him, wondering if he also thought of this layer, and looked a little different.Jiang Li thought Liu Xu would be here today. After looking around, she didn't see Mrs. Liu. If you want to come to today's Palace Banquet, Mrs. Liu is not invited. It seems that all the people who come are dignitaries and upstarts. As chengdelang, it's not his turn to come.However, in this way, Jiang Li did not know familiar friends. Jiang Jingrui and Jiang Jingyou had two brothers, and they soon went to talk with them. Jiang Li stood in the corner of the hall, standing with Lu Shi. Suddenly, someone called her reputation: "Miss Jiang ER!"Jiang Li looked back and found that it was Yin Zhiqing who called her behind her back.Jiang Li hurriedly said, "Lord of Pingyang County."Yan Zhiqing came over and said with a happy smile, "I saw you as soon as I arrived. Have you just arrived?"Jiang Li nodded and looked at Yan Zhiqing. Yan Zhiqing's dress today is really beautiful. She was wearing a peacock patterned brocade dress, a rose red long tailed Luan skirt, with bright lips and teeth, and looked forward to it. Rao Shi could not help but praise Jiang Li in her heart, what a beautiful woman with a lotus face.Yan Zhiqing was charming and amazing, but her temperament was completely different and straightforward. She stretched out her hand to pull Jiang Li, as if she was very familiar. She said, "my brother is over there. Go, go with me and say hello to him."Before Jiang Li could speak, Lu Shi said with a smile, "Xiao Li, just go. It happens that the prince's son is also there. It's not interesting to stay with me in your young girl's house."Mrs. Jiang also nodded. Jiang Li shook her head in her heart, but she could only smile and say, "OK."Yin Zhili was standing outside the temple, talking to a young man. In fact, he had been living in the clouds before, and had no intersection with the people in Yanjing city. But strangely, these official children in Yanjing city don't seem to dislike him at all. He didn't mean to be exclusive, and even seemed to have a good relationship with him. In Jiang Li's heart, there is another layer of concern about Yin Zhili. It is not easy to do this. Most of the official sons and noble women in Yanjing regard themselves highly and are unwilling to be with people they don't look up to. Even Jiang Li came to Yanjing city for a year. Although you are Miss Jiang, you have no good partners. This is of course because Jiang Li is unwilling to flatter them, but they themselves resisted Jiang Li from the beginning to integrate into the circle of noble women.Yan Zhiqing shouted, "brother."Yan Zhili just finished talking with the person in front of him and was about to leave. Hearing the cry of Yan Zhiqing, he looked back and saw Jiang Li was stunned. Then a smile appeared in his eyes and said in a warm voice, "Miss Jiang er.""Master Yin." Jiang Li replied.Yan Zhiqing winked: "you say it first, I'll go and tell my mother first." Before Yan Zhili finished speaking, she ran away first. Only Jiang Li and Yin Zhili stood together.Yin Zhili was a little helpless: "sorry, sister...""The county Lord is innocent and cute. Master Yin doesn't have to mind." Jiang Li laughed.Hearing this, Yan Zhili relaxed and said with a smile, "Miss Jiang is still so considerate."Standing together, they naturally attracted the attention of many people. The man in white is warm, handsome and genial. The girl in green clothes is smart, beautiful and clever, but she is a pair of beautiful people. Yin Zhili's appearance and family background were outstanding, and naturally many girls' families favored him. Those who wanted to see this scene were half cooled. If the Yin family and the yuan family marry, there will be nothing else. According to today's appearance, Yin Zhili and Jiang Li seem to be familiar with each other. Could it be that there has been this clue for a long time?Jiang Li felt a lot of suspicious eyes on her, but she was not nervous at all. In the eyes of Yin Zhili, Jiang Li didn't dislike staying with him. He looked at Jiang Li and said strangely, "why didn't Miss Jiang take the fan she gave you?""Fan?" Jiang Li was stunned and suddenly remembered the fan confiscated by Ji Heng. Ji Heng said, "try receiving gifts from other men.".He just took away the fan and hasn't returned it yet. He doesn't know how to deal with it. Jiang Li's heart was funny, and she unconsciously smiled on her face. Seeing her like this, Yin Zhili asked softly, "Miss Jiang?"Jiang Li regained consciousness and said, "that fan... The summer is coming to an end. I looked at the day and put it away."Yin Zhili was stunned.Jiang Li wanted to talk nonsense again. Suddenly, a voice came from behind her. The voice was lazy, with a little smile, and spoke slowly."Often afraid of Autumn Festival, the cool wind seizes the heat, abandon it in the trunk, and refuse it in gratitude." With a smile on his face, he asked meaningfully, "who does Miss Jiang Er compare to an abandoned woman?"Jiang Li looked back and saw Ji Heng coming over somehow.He had just arrived. Today, he was also dressed in a robe with black peonies on a red background. A gorgeous and deep pattern was worn on him, but it was a strange fit. A man doesn't have to paint his face. Even so, standing here, he compares his daughter's house full of wonders, and no one will be eclipsed in his long, affectionate amber eyes.He stood behind Jiang Li, and in front of Jiang Li stood Yin Zhili. Ji Hu was very tall, even a little taller than Yin Zhili. He just looked at them from a commanding position and stroked his fan with a smile. The fan was unfolded inch by inch, and the Golden Peony on it was extremely enchanting and Soul-catching. At the handle of the fan, a bloody butterfly flew and danced.Yan Zhili was stunned for a moment, and his eyes followed the fan. Suddenly, he felt that the fan he gave to Jiang Li was really dull and gloomy. His eyes turned from the fan to between Jiang Li and Ji Heng.Young men are flirtatious and gorgeous, and ginger and pear are pure and refined. Standing together, they don't have a strange feeling. Standing here, they will make others feel ashamed and make people feel that they can't get in between the two anyway.That's how it fits."My Lord." Jiang Li chin first.Hearing Jiang Li's words, Yan Zhili came back to God. He had heard the name of the Duke of Su. Also know that Yan Zhiqing has been paying close attention to him. The last time he glanced at him, he was not as amazing as this time. He just wanted to salute Ji Chen, but Ji Chen didn't look at him, and passed by him. I don't know if it was Yan Zhili's illusion. He felt that Ji Chen seemed to look at him, with ironic and contemptuous eyes.Jiang Li suddenly felt a little embarrassed, and secretly scolded Ji Heng in her heart. Why should she make a fool of Yin Zhili in front of her, so how can she get off the stage.Yin Zhili was very good-natured. After Ji Heng left, he smiled and said, "today, when I saw the Duke of Su, I really deserve my reputation."Jiang Li looked at Yin Zhili carefully, and said that Yin Zhili was really without a trace of resentment, as if he was sincere praise. Whether pretending or real, he can do this, at least not embarrassing.Yin Zhili laughed again, "what Miss Jiang just said is that autumn is coming, and the fan is useless. It's best to put it away." He said so, but in his heart he read the poem Ji Heng said. The meaning of that poem is that the fan is discarded in autumn, just like a discarded woman. Is Ji Heng's words a reminder? Does Miss Jiang Er mean anything else when talking about autumn fans?His smile was a little absent-minded.Jiang Li didn't want to talk more with Yin Zhili, so she was a little distracted, so she took the opportunity to find an excuse to return to Lu. After that, Jiang Li always followed Lu Shi, and she really didn't want to deal with the Yin sisters, regardless of Lu Shi's hint to her, pretending not to know.Soon after, the emperor and Yin Zhan arrived.Today, Japan set up a palace banquet for Yin Zhan to celebrate his military exploits.

The next moment, he heard Hong Xiaodi laughing loudly on his head. Hong Xiaodi said, "yes, Aiqing, you are a little late this time. Before you, someone had asked me for my head. I even made a decree to marry Duke Su and Miss Jiang er. Duke su."Duke Su hurriedly stepped forward, took out the imperial edict from the eunuch's hand, and sang in a long voice: "carry it by heaven, the emperor ordered that Ji Heng, Duke of the state of Su, should be filial and have a good reputation for both literature and martial arts. Now he is at the age of Chong Ling, and the first assistant is Jiang Li, the second miss of the Jiang family, who is sixteen years old. He is dignified and handsome. Therefore, I made an imperial decree to be the wife of Duke of the state of Su, and get married on a certain date. Qin this!"This marriage ceremony was really surprising, and everyone couldn't turn around. It is clear that the king of Xia asked the emperor to marry Miss Jiang ER and the prince's son, but finally he married Miss Jiang ER and Duke su. Duke Su?The Empress Dowager's face changed slightly, Yan Zhan lowered his head and couldn't see his expression clearly, and Yan Zhili's heart seemed to be blocked by a stone. The emperor not only didn't marry him and Jiang Li, but also married Jiang Li and Su Guogong, which undoubtedly slapped their father and son in the face and made them lose face."Lord Jiang," father Su reminded, "take the order!"Jiang Yuanbai suddenly froze, and then came to his senses. He stood up and hurriedly got up to accept the order. Because he was too flustered and stunned, he almost tripped. Instead, Jiang Li was calm and composed. Ji Heng also came over, lifted the corner of his robe, smiled and said, "thank you for your success."Emperor Hong Xiaodi looked at Ji Heng and seemed very satisfied with his marriage. However, Ji Heng seemed to be the only one who was happy, and Jiang Li would not show it. For others, surprise was greater than surprise.Emperor Hong Xiaodi looked at Yin Zhan again and said with a generous smile, "Xia Jun Wang, it's not that I don't want to promise you this time, but you're a little late. I see your son is indeed an outstanding talent. It's better for you to say that if you look at other girls, as long as they are unmarried and have no engagement, I'll marry them immediately."The full daughter's house was suddenly excited again, looking forward to Yan Zhan. Married to the Yin family, is the prince's son, who can always become the princess of the county in the future. In addition, Yin Zhili is indeed handsome and gentle, which is desirable.Yan Zhan raised his head, half lost and half relieved, "that's not necessary. This time, Miss Jiang Er has no luck with the dog, and can't blame others." He turned to Jiang Yuanbai and Jiang Li and said with a smile, "Congratulations, Mr. Jiang, Miss Jiang!"Jiang Yuanbai reluctantly smiled. He only knew one thing. Emperor Hong Xiaodi was afraid that his attitude towards the king of Xia County was not as simple as trust. Today, the undercurrent behind the marriage ceremony surged, making him sweat. I vaguely felt that I had made a wrong choice to agree to the Yin family's marriage before, but now it has implicated the yuan family, and Emperor Hong Xiaodi may also have doubts about the yuan family.Jiang Li gave Yin Zhan a big smile. Yin Zhan saw that Jiang Li was not shy, but in such a mood. His eyes narrowed, and his eyes turned on Jiang Li and Ji Heng, which was why he took it back.This marriage was unexpected. Next, Emperor Hong Xiao rewarded Yin Zhan with many gold, silver and jewelry. Because Yin Zhili's proposal failed, he had to make some compensation. When they returned to the table, the center of everyone's discussion had already changed. Jiang Li, Ji Heng and Yin Zhili became the beginning of everyone's discussion.Ji Heng returned to the corner where he sat, and in the face of the eyes from all directions, he didn't care, and still slowly poured wine and drank it himself. Of course, those who watch Ji Heng also know his moody temperament. They dare not look blatantly, but secretly and carefully.Compared with Jiang Li and Yin Zhili, they were a little unscrupulous.When Jiang Li returned to the banquet, the rest of the Jiang family looked inexplicable, especially the old lady Jiang and the two brothers Jiang Yuanbai, whose faces were very ugly. Jiang Jingrui and Jiang Jingyou, as well as Lu Shi, did not know the hidden inside story. They just felt that the person who gave the marriage suddenly became Ji Heng. Compared with Yin Zhili, Ji Chen is moody, and of course, he is more difficult to meet. Not to mention being an uncle of the yuan family, even on weekdays, you have to hide far away.Yan Zhiqing sat beside Yan Zhili, pale and shaky, almost crying. She originally thought that today was a happy event, and Jiang Li and Yin Zhili were firm facts. Her brother was all right, and Jiang Li and Yin Zhili got along well. The Jiang family also liked Yin Zhili, and there was no reason why this marriage could not succeed. However, it is really impossible.Not only that, the person who gave the marriage to Jiang Li also became the Duke of Su Guo Ji.Yan Zhiqing was a little confused. She only met Ji Heng twice, but each time, she left a stunning impression on Yan Zhiqing. Outsiders' evaluation of Su Guogong was cruel, but she felt that such a Ji Heng was more mysterious. Even though she didn't know anything about love, she also knew that Ji Xuan was the first man who attracted her for so many years. She originally felt that she was not in a hurry. She could slowly get to know Ji Hong, make friends with Ji Hong, and know that he was accompanying him, but suddenly, out of guard, Ji Hong had his duchess.Yan Zhiqing only felt that God was joking with her.Mrs. Yin looked at her anxiously, but there was nothing she could do. In fact, she could not speak in the Yan family, let alone change the imperial edict.Yan Zhili, who was sitting next to Yan Zhan, although he smiled and didn't seem to pay attention to what had just happened, but if you look carefully at his drinking action, you can see that he was absent-minded.Not only Yan Zhili, but also Yin Zhili himself thought that there would be no accident in this marriage. Reality severely slapped him in the face. Yan Zhili didn't feel embarrassed, but how, he just felt... Something strange.Before the Palace Banquet, the beautiful Duke Su walked past him and read a poem slowly. Now think about it, it's full of ridicule from those who want to get it. Yin Zhili thought that he was indeed the autumn fan of Jiang Li. As soon as the autumn came, it had no effect, so it should be discarded.Yan Zhili laughed with self mockery. He had lived for more than 20 years, with the wind and water, and countless girls liked him. He didn't expect that he would also have a day of love. He knew that he might not love Jiang Li very much, but he did like it very much. At least before that, he didn't take other girls so seriously.That fan... Yan Zhili closed his eyes.Ji Heng's gorgeous peony folding fan, which he gave to Jiang Li, is a white jade folding fan depicting pear flowers. He didn't know how Ji Heng and Jiang Li thought of the fan he gave him, but it must be... That he overestimated himself.Please, Ji Xuan must have known about this marriage, so she can get the imperial edict ahead of her father. Does Jiang Li know?Yin Zhili involuntarily turned his head slightly and looked at Jiang Li across the crowd.The girl sat on the table with her back straight and her profile beautiful. There was a faint smile on her lips, which was no different from the smile she had faced Yan Zhili countless times. But Yin Zhili could clearly distinguish that her smile was a little more relaxed.She really knew, and Yan Zhili's heart sank.At this time, Yan Zhan's voice sounded in his ear, which was very slight, and only Yan Zhili heard it."Do what you should do. Now, don't be distracted."Yin Zhili, a spirit, put on a gentle smile again.In the high position, Emperor Hong Xiao looked at everything in front of him, as if full of interest and shallow smile. The queen sat aside in a regular way and said nothing. She was always so gentle and obedient, just like the Empress Dowager in her youth.Empress Dowager... The Empress Dowager's armor gently crossed the chair, making a slight noise, and she didn't realize it, and her eyes swept on Yan Zhili and Yan Zhan, and then disappeared.Nobody saw it.The big werewolf killing officially began~
