Men and women were not together at this banquet, and now a man came over. Wouldn't this be a violation of the rules? Just when the women were about to reprimand the man in green standing outside the gate, they saw his face clearly and shut their mouths instantly.
Forget it, looking so handsome is definitely not intentional!
But when the girls remembered what he said just now, and combined with his appearance, they immediately knew who the visitor was, and turned to look at Jiang Ran.
Jiang Ran stood up after hearing Tang Ji's voice, looked at him with some confusion, said hello to Princess Ling'an, and then walked out.
Seeing this, Yu Yueyin snorted softly: "You're such a half-hearted thing and you still want to steal a man from me?"
"Are you okay? The man standing outside is the most talented man in Huaizhou, Tang Ji, whom you talk about. He is really ignorant. Even if a fool like you is given to Mr. Tang as a maid, he probably won't want it." Mo Ying
Ying folded her hands across her chest and mocked.
Hearing this, Yu Yueyin gritted her silver teeth and grabbed her hair: "What are you talking about, you little bitch, let me beat you to death."
"Ah, help!"
Seeing such a chaotic scene, Princess Ling'an suddenly changed her expression and ordered in a deep voice: "That's enough, someone, come and pull out the woman who disrupted the order of the banquet."
Immediately, two guards standing outside the gate quickly walked in and pulled Yu Yueyin down.
The girls no longer paid attention to her. Instead, they secretly gathered at the gate and peeked at Tang Ji and the other two.
In the corridor beside the lobby, Tang Ji touched Jiang Ran's head and asked, "What's the noise going on in there? I seemed to have heard my name just now."
The blush on Jiang Ran's face had not faded. She raised her eyes to look at him and said softly: "Why are you here? Didn't you agree to pick me up later? And why did you come here?"
Tang Ji put his hand down and was about to remind her not to be in a hurry next time when she went out, but he noticed that she was wearing a jade hairpin. He slowly opened his palm and exposed the hairpin and jade bracelet: "You, why are you wearing it?
Hairpin?”
Hearing this, Jiang Ran also understood what was going on, and chuckled: "You don't think I go out wearing it, do you? As for the jade bracelet, I was afraid it would break like before, so I didn't wear it."
Tang Ji rolled his eyes. It seemed that he was worrying too much. He put the hairpin back into his sleeve, took her hand, and put on the jade bracelet for her: "Our family is not short of this money. If it breaks, we can buy it again."
Jiang Ran took back his hand and adjusted the jade bracelet. Seeing that there was no sound in the lobby, he glanced at the door, pushed him and said, "Okay, please leave quickly. Come pick me up later."
"Then kiss me." Tang Ji showed his side face and pointed with his finger.
In an instant, Jiang Ran's eyes widened. She didn't expect that this big pervert would be so bold. She looked around, stood up on tiptoes and kissed him on the cheek, and then urged: "Go quickly, don't be seen."
"
The next second, the voices of women came from the hall: "We didn't see anything!"
Hearing this, Jiang Ran was so shy that she couldn't speak. She raised her eyes and glared at Tang Ji, then turned around and walked into the hall.
Tang Ji touched his cheek, looked at her back and added: "Li Yu and I are in the front yard. We will pick you up after the dinner."
Seeing that Jiang Ran didn't reply, he had no choice but to shrug his shoulders, turned around and left, but before he took a few steps, he noticed an additional figure behind him, and couldn't help but ask: "What's the matter? Is there anything else wrong with your lady?"
"No, it's just...well, can Jiu'er follow my uncle?" Jiu'er pursed her lips and said.
"What's wrong? Are you not used to so many people?" Tang Ji pinched her little face.
Jiu'er shook his head and sighed: "It's too boring in there, and there are people I don't know. Jiu'er can't talk to the lady yet."
Seeing her pitiful look, Tang Ji chuckled: "Okay, then you can follow me."
"Thank you, uncle." Jiu'er laughed happily and followed Tang Ji to the front yard.
On the other side, Jiang Ran, who had just returned to the lobby, became the focus of attention of the girls again.
"It's so nice of Mr. Tang to come here in person to give jewelry to Sister Jiang Ran!"
"It's so enviable. When will I meet such a considerate man?"
"Seeing Mr. Tang's behavior just now, and then thinking about the one in my family, hey, I regret it. I shouldn't be in such a hurry to get married!"
"Sister Jiang Ran, can I be Mr. Tang's concubine?"
"Bah, you have such a good idea. It's not your turn to be a concubine."
"..."
Everyone was talking about it, but since they were all young ladies from a well-known family, it was naturally impossible for them to marry others as concubines, unless Tang Ji could be granted the title of Marquis and Prime Minister.
Jiang Ran sat in his seat, wanting to bury his head under the table. Although he felt a little resentful of Tang Ji in his heart, the smile that appeared on his face from time to time was like eating honey.
Princess Ling'an shook her head, stood up, and said with a smile: "Okay, okay, don't make fun of Jiang Ran anymore. I will go to the front yard to entertain you, and you can chat slowly."
"Yes." All the women replied in unison.
...
When Tang Ji returned to the main courtyard, the sky had darkened. The crowd that had gathered here also entered the lobby. He glanced around the lobby and quickly found Li Yu who was sitting in the corner drinking.
passed.
Li Yu also noticed them, glanced at Jiu'er, and asked, "Why did you bring the little girl?"
"She's bored in the back." Tang Ji sat down next to him. After replying, he got a soft cushion for Jiu'er and motioned for her to sit down.
Li Yu nodded slightly, brought the cake in front of Jiu'er, and added: "Don't talk about her, even I feel a little boring. I wouldn't have come if I had known."
Tang Ji poured a cup of tea and drank it. He looked up and saw that the men around him were all discussing things about the imperial examination. It was indeed a bit boring.
At this moment, Princess Ling'an walked in from outside with her maid.
All the students and scholars immediately stood up, saluted and said: "See Princess Ling'an."
"No gift." Princess Ling'an raised her hand and asked with a smile: "I wonder if you are satisfied with today's banquet?"
"Satisfied, very satisfied." Everyone replied in unison.
Princess Ling'an nodded slightly, chatted politely with everyone for a while, then walked straight to Li Yu, put her hands on her waist, and saluted: "Ling'an pays homage to His Highness King You."
"Well, we haven't seen each other for two years, and Ling'an has become a big girl." Li Yu put down his wine glass and replied with a smile.
Princess Ling'an smiled softly, then turned her gaze to Tang Ji and said, "The relationship between Master Tang and Sister Jiang Ran is really enviable."
"What the hell, that made the princess laugh." Tang Ji replied politely.
Seeing that these two grown men were perfunctory with her, Princess Ling'an felt helpless. She said hello again and was about to turn around and leave. However, before he could take two steps, he was suddenly stopped by Tang Ji behind him.
"Princess Princess!"
Hearing the sound, Princess Ling'an turned around and said with a smile: "Master Tang, is there anything else?"
