121: Old friend?
Not long after, a young chamberlain came in from the outside, took small steps, cautiously came to Shao Angel's side, and whispered in his ear.
At first, Shao Tiantian listened casually, but after a while, the expression on his face changed.
"Lu family? Lu Mingyuan?"
Anger suddenly appeared on Shao Tiantian's pale face. He just agreed to take care of the Xu family today. Is this how Lu Mingyuan takes care of him?
Let the assassin lurking in Nan'an Prince's Mansion assassinate him as the prince.
"He really wants to avenge his son, and he doesn't care! Do you think our family is a clay statue?"
A cold and stern light flashed in Shao Tiantian's eyes, he glanced at the silent little chamberlain, and asked sharply.
"Xiao Shiwu, do you think Lu Mingyuan is a member of the Yin Yang Evil Sect?"
Sun Ming, the young chamberlain, kept bowing and lowered his eyebrows. When he heard the ancestor's question, his whole body was excited and he answered respectfully.
"Ancestor, Xiao Shiwu feels that no matter whether he is a member of the Yin Yang Evil Sect or not, as long as he dares to make our ancestor angry, he should not live in this world."
"What did Xu Fan say?"
"The young supervisor who reported back said that Xu Fan didn't say anything and just asked our people to report the matter."
Sun Ming rolled his eyes and thought for a moment, not daring to hide anything.
On the way here, he had been thinking about Xu Fan's purpose in doing this.
"That assassin is still alive?" Shao Angel stood up and asked, walking barefoot on the thick carpet.
Sun Ming nodded, looked at Shao Tiantian's hunched back, took a few steps forward, and raised his right arm in time so that Shao Tiantian could hold it, with a smile on his face.
"You are still alive. If our ancestors have anything to ask, Xiao Wu will order the red-robed young eunuch to bring Na Mo here."
Shao Tiantian's white eyebrows moved slightly with the river breeze, and he looked out the window at the dark night. After pondering for a long time, he sighed softly, "Since he chose to believe in us, then we will also choose to believe in him."
He flicked his loose sleeves, put his right hand on his hips, stretched his muscles, and his voice suddenly changed.
"Since it is a disobedient dog, there is no use keeping it. Let the people in Diaoyutai prepare the evidence of the Lu family's crimes over the years. After the Hundred Flowers Party, you can take people there in person."
"Ancestor, over there at the Governor's Mansion."
Sun Ming had a look of hesitation on his face. Lu Mingyuan was the prefect of Jinling after all, and now was the critical moment to encircle and suppress the Yin Yang Evil Sect.
Changing the position of the prefect of Jinling at this time may cause the dissatisfaction of Qin Ruhai, the governor of Jiangnan Province.
Shao Tiantian slowly lowered his head and glanced sideways at Sun Ming.
Just this one glance made Sun Ming sweat break out on his forehead. He didn't dare to hesitate for a moment and immediately nodded in agreement.
...
Not knowing that Shao Tiantian had chosen to believe him, Xu Fan led Zi'er and the others out of the quiet room and headed to Baihua Pavilion under the guidance of a red-robed young eunuch.
The assassin Wang Ping stayed in the quiet room and was supervised by other red-robed young eunuchs.
Anyway, the person has lost his consciousness, and Xu Fan is not worried about what these red-robed young eunuchs may ask.
When everyone came to Baihua Pavilion, Zi'er and others did not expect that there would be so many people. She was also a well-known maid of the Xu family of Guangling Mansion, and she had accompanied his wife to see the world three years ago.
However, tonight, on this boat, she truly saw what it means to have status.
Although every family and aristocratic family has its own loft, these lofts are only separated by screens and are not blocked from each other.
With a casual glance, you can vaguely see the person behind the screen.
The young ladies from the five great worlds in the south of the Yangtze River were all dressed in gorgeous clothes, which was not what she had seen at those banquets in Guangling Mansion before.
Some people even wore light red python robes, obviously a remnant of their ancestors.
Even if Zi'er has never seen the world again, she still knows that the Daqian court cannot have a python-robed prince in his twenties.
On the left side of Baihua Pavilion are the elegant pavilions of the five great families: Wang, Wen, Fu, Li and Lu. Behind them are some
The affiliated families of the five major aristocratic families, as well as wealthy businessmen with some connections in Jinling City.
On the right side are some princes of the Jinling official family, and some of them are officials of the second rank or above in Shenjing.
In order, there are the young masters from the old residence of Zhishi Pavilion, and the nephews from the residence who are in charge of various ministries.
In recent years, some cabinet ministers who have served in Shenjing have moved their families to Jinling in the south, intentionally or unintentionally.
Since Emperor Longxing ascended the throne, in order to balance the "power of the prime minister" and the imperial power, he has treated all cabinet ministers with great courtesy. Each cabinet minister will serve for a maximum of three years before he is asked to resign and return to his hometown.
It seems to have become an unspoken rule for the old emperor in the cabinet and the auxiliary cabinet.
Under the guidance of the red-robed young eunuch, Xu Fan and others had more and more eyes on them.
"Master, why are they all looking at us!" Zi'er also felt an invisible pressure. Being looked at by so many eyes made her feel a little uncomfortable.
Seeing that the red-robed young eunuch was about to take them to the Yage, the most conspicuous place in Baihua Pavilion, Xu Fan knew in his heart that Shao Tiantian was going to fill Jinling. Everyone knew that the Xu family was on the side of the inner court.
Xu Fan is his Shao Angel.
Xu Fan had a calm expression on his face, without any change in expression, and shook his head slightly towards Zi'er.
After following her young master for so long, she already guessed that he didn't want to talk here. She forced an awkward smile towards the two maids who were following her closely, and whispered, "Don't worry, the young master is here."
The two frightened little maids also looked nervous. It was the first time for them to come to such a luxurious boat. Seeing so many noble people, they couldn't help but feel a little worried and scared.
"Master Xu, please come this way."
The young eunuch in red robe leads the way, and no one will bother to block it.
However, the faces of many of the princes and ladies who had already taken their seats and were sitting in the elegant pavilion showed a touch of disdain.
In just a moment, they already knew the identity of Xu Fan from the previous chat. He was a low-income man from Guangling Prefecture who had some bad luck and gained the attention of the inner court of Shenjing.
Many people feel "sour" in their hearts. Since they can't eat grapes, they can't be said to be sour.
Only the many young people in the Wang family and Wen family's elegant pavilion trembled in their hearts when they saw Xu Fan's figure, and they did not dare to say a word.
They had been told by the elders of the clan when they came this time that if they met people from the Xu family in the future, they must make good friends and never look down upon them.
Not to be offended.
If anyone dares to provoke the Xu family and offend the people in the Xu family, even the direct descendants of the main lineage of the family will have their cyclone acupoints revoked and be kicked out of the family.
Although many young people are confused, they dare not disobey.
They learned from their fathers in the clan that this order came from the old patriarch.
No one is a fool to stand out among the many direct descendants.
It is very obvious that there is someone in the Xu family that the ancestor values.
After learning that the person who came in was from the Xu Mansion, he was heading to Yage, which is on the same level as the Nan'an Prince's Mansion.
The young sons of the Wang and Wen families all knew that there must be a reason why this young man was so valued by Shao Tiantian in the inner court.
Xu Fan paid no attention to the complicated looks in the eyes of everyone in Baihua Pavilion and went straight into the Accord prepared for the Xu family.
The moment he stepped into the Accord, Xu Fan felt a pair of beautiful eyes sweeping over him.
However, he didn't care. After entering the Accord with Zi'er and others, Xu Fan motioned for everyone to feel free to do so.
The master said it was casual, except for Zi'er who had no rules and regulations. He sat down casually and began to taste the delicacies, pastries and fruit wine that had been placed on the table.
The other two maids and several servants all looked a little reserved and stood uneasily. They didn't know whether to sit down or stand to one side to wait.
Just as she scratched the greasy fingertips, Zi'er looked at the people beside her with a puzzled look on her face and asked curiously, "Why don't you sit down? Are you not interested in this table of delicious food?"
As he said that, he picked up the bamboo chopsticks on the table, picked up another piece of cod meatball, and ate it with gusto.
Xu Fan sat on the main seat, looking at the nervous and overwhelmed expressions of the two maids and servants standing on the left and right sides, and raised his hand to signal everyone to take their seats.
"Everyone, sit down. Don't be nervous. There is no distinction between master and servant tonight. We are just taking everyone out to have fun."
In the Baihua Pavilion, next to the tulle, there is a girl with her head lowered. Her slender green fingers gently play the piano sound that makes people feel clear. She dances in harmony with the elegant people on the stage, making everyone in the audience happy and happy.
A touch of refreshing intoxication.
Under the high platform, three accordions occupy the best positions..z.br
At this time, the middle pavilion was empty, with two young prisoners in red robes and red robes standing at the door.
On the right is the Accord of Xu Fan and others, and on the left is the Accord of the Prince of Nan'an.
The moment Xu Fan entered the Yage, he was swept by a watery gaze. This gaze came from the Yage of Nan'an Prince's Palace.
All men in the direct line of the Nan'an Palace will be called the Crown Prince, and among the many Crown Princes in the Palace, the one who can become the real Crown Prince is Li Xin.
Xu Fan would appear at the Hundred Flowers Banquet tonight. He had known about it early in the morning, but he didn't expect that this young man from the Xu family could actually be on an equal footing with him.
Today, Diaoyutai and the red-robed young eunuch came to the palace and presented a greeting card and invitation.
At first, his father did not approve of his coming, mainly because the Nan'an Palace had offended five aristocratic families in the secret area of Guangling Palace, and Nan'an King Li Muzhi was worried that someone would take revenge on his eldest son.
Although the Poison Gu Lord's poison skills are unmatched by anyone, who can predict whether the five major families have secret arrangements or tricks, especially since the ancestors of the Wen family and the Wang family are still alive and coming out of the secret place.
In the past few days, Nan'an King Li Muzhi has been very worried. Although the Poison Lord poisoned the children of the aristocratic families, the identities of these people could not be revealed at this time.
If they were exposed now, the heads of the five major families might be forced by the two great monks Wang and Wen to imprison all these young disciples.
Since then, the Prince of Nan'an has been willing to take such a big risk, but has gained nothing.
Li Xin withdrew his gaze and looked at the beauty beside him. With a smile in his eyes, he said softly, "Why is Baochai doing this?"
The moment Xu Fan entered Baihua Pavilion, Li Xin quickly noticed that Zhen Baochai looked different.
It wasn't until Xu Fan entered the Accord that Zhen Baochai's eyes were retracted intentionally or unintentionally.
Obviously, Zhen Baochai was so cautious, but she still did not escape Li Xin's keen gaze.
Zhen Baochai looked calm, with a faint smile on her face, and a hint of admiration in her almond-shaped eyes. She said softly, "Your Majesty, I seem to have met an old friend, but I'm just not sure, so I took a few more glances."
