The birthday banquet in the Prime Minister's Mansion was full of people, and the banquet was filled with laughter and laughter accompanied by the fairy music of silk and bamboo. Everyone exchanged greetings, and it was so lively that it was dizzying.

When Lu Zhihang stepped into the Prime Minister's Mansion, he was already walking side by side with Yun Qi. Listening to Zhang Yujun's warm greeting, he leaned on Yun Qi's shoulder without leaving a trace, cupped his hands and said warmly: "I met Miss Zhang for the first time. She is indeed well-deserved. I have admired her for a long time.

Already."

The low and gentle voice was indescribably pleasant. Yun Qi glanced helpfully at the shoulders the two of them were rubbing, and the faint smile at the corner of his mouth was just right.

When Zhang Yuyun first heard what Lu Zhihang said, her face flushed. When she listened carefully to the meaning of these words, all her spring mood suddenly disappeared.

Half, he said awkwardly: "Lu... Consort, we have met several times. Long before you got married to the princess, we had already..."

Zhang Yuyun especially emphasized the words "before getting married".

"Have you met before we got married?" Yun Qi murmured, "No wonder the first time he met Zhang Yujun, the other party was so hostile.

Lu Zhihang Zhuangruo listened carefully to Zhang Yujun's words, and after she finished speaking, he lowered his head and thought for a while, then said hesitantly: "Miss Zhang, please forgive me, I really can't remember where I have seen her."

Hearing this, Zhang Yujun was dumbfounded and hurriedly added: "My consort still remembers Pingwang Mountain. I almost fell down on the stone steps. It was my consort who kindly extended a helping hand."

"So...it seems that there is such a thing. It turns out to be Miss Zhang." Lu Zhihang looked suddenly surprised and clapped his hands.

Zhang Yujun looked at Lu Zhihang and seemed to have remembered something. Before Qingli could even show a smile, he heard what the other person said, and his heart suddenly sank to the bottom.

"The prince consort really doesn't remember me?" Zhang Yuyun asked again without giving up, almost with tears in her eyes.

What he thought was a romantic encounter turned out to be unfavorable to her at all, and he didn't even remember her appearance. It was his unrequited love.

"It's just a casual move. It's nothing important." Lu Zhihang looked clear and smiled at Zhang Yuyun in a gentle and polite manner.

Of course he didn't really forget it, but when it came to other people, apart from Zhang Yuyun's beautiful appearance that left an impression, there really was nothing to remember.

Compared to the graceful, handsome and fierce beauty on the side, Lu Zhihang could say that he felt calm when he saw other people.

He was not Lu Zhi, and he didn't want to have anything to do with Zhang Yuyun. However, he didn't admit his feelings frankly, so he couldn't refuse directly. After saying this, anyone with a smart mind should have figured it out.

"The prince-in-law is always kind-hearted, and the cats and dogs passing by are willing to help. Miss Zhang is worried." Yun Qi's thin lips curved, taking advantage of his height advantage to look down at Zhang Yuyun.

"Cats and dogs?" Zhang Yuyun's eyes widened, and she was almost so angry that Yun Qi put her together with these beasts.

"Yes, I don't know where the wild cat came from. Every time it smells fishy, ​​it comes to the princess's house. It relies on the consort's charity and wants to beg for something. It is really annoying to be greedy, but although I don't have such a kind heart,

If the consort likes it, I will be happy too." Yun Qi spoke softly and curled his lips into a smile.

When Zhang Yuyun heard this, she didn't understand that Yun Qi had guessed her own thoughts and was using sarcastic words to make her blood surge up and choke in her throat.

It shouldn't be like this!

If his father had proposed marriage to the Lu family earlier, how could the emperor marry this unwanted princess to Lu Zhihang?

The more he thought about it, the more aggrieved Zhang Yuyun became. It was obvious that they had met a long time ago and were a match made in heaven. The Zhang family could also help Lu Zhihang prosper in his official career. However, the emperor went crazy because he was afraid that his daughter would not be able to marry and messed up the relationship.

.

When Lu Zhihang listened to Yun Qi's words, he suddenly understood that his wife was usually very polite to him. The little girl was almost crying with anger.

Although it was a bit immoral... Yun Qi's rare act of declaring sovereignty still made Lu Zhihang happy, and the polite and distant smile on his face was a bit genuine.

Yun Qi was slightly startled when she noticed that Lu Zhihang's eyes were lingering on her. Later, she realized that his behavior of bullying the little girl just now was fully visible in his eyes. He quickly raised his eyes and saw a lingering affection.

The two people's eyes met in the air, and Yun Qi was caught off guard by his eyes. The noise around him fell silent for an instant, until a shout broke the charming atmosphere.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has arrived——"

"Prince?"

"Why did the prince come to attend the birthday banquet of Prime Minister Zhang's daughter... In the past month, the prime minister has deliberately targeted the princelings in the court. Not everyone with a discerning eye can see it."

"The prince not only attended the banquet, but also carried a whole box of congratulatory gifts behind him."

"Which story is this? Is it possible that the apparent differences are fake?"

Suspicious discussions arose all around, and finally they all turned into a sentence: "See His Highness the Crown Prince."

Zhang Yujun looked at the pair of beauties in front of her with black streaks on her head. She also heard that the prince condescended to come to the Prime Minister's Mansion, and watched him swaggering through the crowd and walking towards her, and his mood became even worse.

No matter how unhappy Zhang Jinghuan was with the prince, he still had to give him face in public, so he immediately bowed and said, "I am here to see the prince."

"Prime Minister Zhang, get up. No need to be polite. I'm here to celebrate Yujun's birthday. I don't dare to steal the spotlight from the birthday girl." Yunpan put his hands behind his back and said nonchalantly with his round and bulging belly.

"..." So ugly.

Face control Zhang Yujun suddenly felt that her eyes were polluted, she subconsciously took a step back, and hurriedly turned her face to look at Lu Zhihang, seeing that the other person's eyes were always on Yun Qi, gentle and focused, but at the same time sour and envious.

Zhang Jinghuan maintained a fake smile on his face, retreated to Mrs. Zhang's side, and gritted his teeth in a low voice: "What good thing did you do?"

"Aren't I looking for a good home for Yuyun?" Mrs. Zhang glared at him and said coldly.

The truth about how she framed Zhang Chushang's mother had long been revealed. Now Zhang Jinghuan dislikes her more and more. Instead, he dotes on his concubine and even wants to divorce her. Mrs. Zhang expects that if she continues to give in, how will this family know?

There is no room for her.

She had made an agreement with the queen a few years ago to marry her eldest daughter to enjoy happiness in the future, but within half a year, her bed partner started to attack the prince.

If you don't find someone for your daughter to rely on early, how can you expect him to be a caring father? Instead of looking forward to a young boy like the fourth prince, it's better to turn the conflict with the queen into friendship and become a relative of the emperor in the future.

Zhang Jinghuan was so angry at Mrs. Zhang's words that he should have divorced this poisonous woman at the beginning, instead of thinking of his father's support and the pleading of his legitimate son and legitimate daughter to have compassion for her.

While the Prime Minister and his wife were secretly competing, the much-anticipated Prince Yunpan thought he walked up to Zhang Yujun in a graceful manner, but little did he know that with Lu Zhihang beside him, the situation became even more miserable.

"These are the gifts I have chosen for you. If you don't like it, ask someone to send you some more tomorrow." Yunpan was nearly thirty years old, and he still spoke to Zhang Yuyun affectionately with a paunchy appearance.

"...If I don't bother the prince, Yuyun can't bear it." Zhang Yuyun's mouth twitched. If she hadn't rationally told her the identity of the person in front of her, she would have just raised her vaginal legs and greeted him.

"If you can't bear a little vulgarity, there is no need to be polite to me." Yun Pan grinned and said generously, not noticing Zhang Yujun's resistance at all.

As soon as he finished speaking, he noticed that there was silence around him. Just as he was wondering about getting everyone to talk openly, he happened to catch a glimpse of Yun Qi out of the corner of his eye. Upon closer inspection, he discovered that he was actually shorter than the 'Emperor Sister', and his smile faded a lot.

"Hey, the emperor's sister is also here for this birthday banquet? I don't see that you still have some friendship with Prime Minister Zhang's family." Yunpan clenched his fists and said with a strange tone.

He was imprisoned for a month, and even his mother was implicated, but it was not all thanks to Yun Qi. As the saying goes, enemies are extremely jealous when they meet, and Yun Pan didn't bother Yun Qi, so he sent him there himself.

Came to the door.

"Imperial brother, you are well. This is not Miss Zhang's warm invitation, so I cannot refuse it." Yun Qi lowered his head and looked down at Yun Pan, raised his thin lips slightly, and said calmly.

Yun Pan's sinister eyes saw Yun Qi lowering his head, and his anger suddenly surged.

He suppressed his anger, rolled his eyes around, and said as if he was joking: "Really? We haven't seen each other for a month, and the emperor's sister has become taller and taller. She is actually a bit better than an ordinary man. The emperor's brother can't help but feel embarrassed when he sees her.

Compliment him on how tall and majestic he is."

In Yunpan's view, Yun Qi's petite figure, unlike that of a woman from Yan State, was Yun Qi's sore point. After being stabbed by Yun Qi's height, he took the initiative to mention it with full malice.

"Thank you for the compliment, Brother Huang." Yun Qi raised his eyebrows and accepted the compliments openly.

Although he knew that Yunpan was deliberately trying to slander him, Yunqi was not a girl, so he was naturally very happy when he praised him for being taller and taller than the men of Yan State.

"Isn't this just a sentiment?" Yun Pan got angry when he saw him, not to mention that there was Lu Zhihang beside him for comparison, who looked fat and big-eared, which made him even more unhappy.

In his opinion, the imperial sister looked at Yun Danfengqing and didn't seem to take these words to heart. She was secretly thinking that she was about to cry because of her stature. Which daughter would not care about her?

The two of them are on the same level, and all it takes for others to add fuel to the fire is for Yunpan to start a quarrel.

Zhang Yujun didn't want to marry the prince, not to mention that today was his birthday. No matter how much he didn't like Yun Qi, he could only speak out to save her.

However, her rouged red lips had not yet opened. After scolding Mrs. Zhang, Zhang Jinghuan spoke first: "Your Highness, it is a great honor for you to come to the banquet, so I don't need this big gift."

"What do you mean, Prime Minister? You don't like the congratulatory gift from me?" Yun Pan's attention was indeed diverted from Yun Qi. Seeing his hypocritical politeness, his face suddenly darkened.

His repeated concessions were not an insult to the Zhang family, but were based on the principle of peace being the most important thing and made things a big deal.

"I don't dare. It's just that your Majesty doesn't like the extravagance and waste of ministers in the court recently, and your daughter's birthday is also frugal. Your Highness, the Crown Prince, just finished thinking about it and sent such a grand gift in full view of the public, and it reached your Majesty's ears..." Zhang Jinghuan agreed...

He cupped his hands and meant something.

Whether it was for the fourth prince or his mentor Fu Yuanming, it was impossible for Zhang Jinghuan to accept the prince's congratulatory gift in public. Such an expensive gift could not protect others from thinking.

After listening to Zhang Jinghuan's words, Yunpan's face froze.
