What does Chapter 30 have to do with you?
The Jiangnan Si family has a virtuous family tradition and a distinguished family background. There are countless officials and ministers in the court who want to be attached to them.
Jiang Jinshuang knew this very well. Although everyone now knew that the Jiangnan Si family had a close relationship with the princess's mansion, she still tried her best to avoid excessive contact with Si Ning in front of the public.
——But Si Ning doesn’t seem to think so.
The man's loud voice pushed through the crowd and landed accurately on Jiang Jinshuang's ears.
The ministers who gathered around Si Ning actually saw Jiang Jinshuang.
However, based on the idea that more things are worse than less things, everyone deliberately ignored her and only talked to Si Ning who was walking in front.
But now, Si Ning's words and deeds forced everyone to look at Jiang Jinshuang behind them.
The ministers looked at each other and saw the hesitation and hesitation in each other's eyes.
Si Ning seemed to have not seen this, stopped and walked to her side with a smile.
"Si Mou has met His Highness."
The man bowed his body slightly with his hands clasped, his manners were thorough and his splendor was restrained.
The minister who was still hesitating at first saw that the eldest son of the Jiangnan Si family had saluted, and hurriedly followed behind him, and held his hands towards Jiang Jinshuang: "I will see you, Your Highness, Princess."
Jiang Jinshuang didn't expect Si Ning to help her like this.
She smiled helplessly and whispered: "You don't have to be like this."
Si Ning just looked at her seriously and smiled: "Your Highness has forgotten? I promised you yesterday that I would take Your Highness with me."
Afterwards, Si Ning faced the ministers with a smile and nodded slightly: "Everyone, I will go to the banquet with Your Highness first."
With that said, Si Ning took Jiang Jinshuang and left calmly in full view of everyone.
The ministers looked at the two people leaving together with different expressions.
"It seems that the rumors are right, the Jiangnan Si family is really going to support Princess Zhaoming!"
"So what? You still don't know, right? Yesterday, Princess Zhaoming received an imperial edict from His Majesty. After Your Majesty came to the Imperial Study Room, His Majesty still claimed to be ill and did not see her!"
"So, your Majesty still has no intention of forgiving His Highness?"
"Yes, maybe in a few days, when His Majesty recovers from his illness, Princess Zhaoming will be allowed to return to the fiefdom!"
"That makes sense..."
A group of ministers gathered together, pondering the holy will and discussing.
Not far away, Wenshange's carriage also stopped in front of the Forbidden City.
Pei Dufu almost immediately attracted the attention of all the officials as soon as he got off the carriage.
——The Chief Assistant rarely attends various banquets in Chang'an City, and never attends private gatherings of officials and ministers.
Therefore, even though they were both officials in the government, they only worked together once and had very few personal relationships.
Even if it is a palace banquet held by His Majesty in the palace, the First Assistant only attends according to etiquette. Most of the time, after the banquet is over, he leaves alone.
In my impression, Mr. Chief Assistant, even when attending palace banquets, he rarely dressed so...brightly?
The dark red round-necked robe is added to the body, which makes the man's skin fairer. He has a silk jade belt tied around his waist, and the emerald jade pendant hangs neatly on his waist. He is clear, beautiful, and extremely noble.
The Chief Assistant rarely wears such bright clothes. Today's red robe makes him look noble and unique.
The man's eyebrows were sparse and his face was like a crown jewel. He had a jade hairpin in his hair, and his watery black hair was tied up, which was actually a bit more dazzling than the bright spring scenery.
The bright red robe not only did not make him look frivolous, but instead made him look like a rich, handsome and relegated immortal, noble and elegant, making people unable to stop lingering. The ministers present who had not yet entered the palace for the banquet were all amazed when they saw it!
Many officials took this opportunity to step forward and chat with Pei Du.
In addition to some ministers from the capital, His Majesty also allowed the officials to bring their families to attend the banquet. Many female family members from aristocratic families who came with their fathers turned around frequently and blushed when they saw it.
Pei Du's eyes were cold and indifferent, looking straight ahead.
He didn't pay attention to the looks others were looking at him. He just exchanged polite greetings with the officials who came up to talk, then found an excuse and walked to the palace banquet alone.
Although it is a small spring banquet, there are not many regulations that should be set up in the imperial garden.
Jiang Jinshuang and Si Ning arrived early and found their seats to sit down.
Today's small banquet is held in the Imperial Garden, with spring as the prelude and all things singing in harmony.
Not far from the banquet is the Jinming Pond. Thousands of koi carps in the pond are red and yellow, making ripples.
The seats for men and women were placed separately. Jiang Jinshuang glanced at the empty seat next to the main seat, and a flash of emotion flashed in her eyes.
——I don’t know if her dear brother, the prince, will come to the banquet today.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
She still had an account to settle with him.
Jiang Jinshuang guessed that Xia Yurong would come, but she didn't expect that Xia Yurong would come so early.
When she and Si Ning sat down in their respective seats, they found that Xia Yurong had already arrived.
The women's seat is separated from the men's seat by a screen.
Xia Yurong clearly saw Jiang Jinshuang and greeted her with a smile: "Sister, you are here."
Next to Xia Yurong was her handkerchief, the only daughter of General Zhenyuan - Qingshan.
Qingshan glanced at Jiang Jinshuang, snorted coldly, and bowed reluctantly.
Xia Yurong had a gentle smile on her face: "Sister, it's great that you can come to the banquet. Yesterday, I begged His Majesty for a favor, but I didn't expect His Majesty to really agree."
Jiang Jinshuang snorted coldly: "So, if I can come to the banquet today, I have to rely more on Miss Xia?"
"Sister, that's not what I meant..." Xia Yurong explained in a low voice in a panic, her eyes instantly turning red and tears welling up.
Seeing this, Qingshan frowned and stood in front of Xia Yurong: "Your Royal Highness, Yurong went to the imperial study room yesterday to plead for you. Even if you don't appreciate it, you don't have to act so condescending, right?" br>
Hearing what Qingshan said, Jiang Jinshuang laughed out loud: "It turns out that Miss Xia went to the Imperial Study Room yesterday to intercede for me. For those who didn't know, she thought she was going to the Imperial Study Room to wait to see Lord Pei."< br>
"Sister, don't say that..."
"Jiang Jinshuang, what are you talking about!"
Qingshan has a hot temper. When she saw her sister being bullied, she immediately became angry!
"I don't know how many good things Yu Rong said yesterday in order to plead for you in front of the Holy Master." After a pause, Qingshan looked Jiang Jinshuang up and down and sneered, "Besides, even if Yu Rong wants to meet with the Chief Assistant, , that’s reasonable, what does it have to do with you?”
As she said that, Qingshan suddenly put on a look of understanding and blinked: "Oh! Look at my brain, I almost forgot that back then, Her Royal Highness the Princess pursued the Chief Assistant in such a vain way, but she didn't receive the first aid. Mr. Fu is half-hearted!”
"What? I can't get the favor of the Chief Assistant, so I humiliate Yu Rong like this? Your Highness the Princess is so generous!"
Qingshan's voice was not too soft. Although the banquet had not started yet and there were not many guests, there were still three or five female dependents here.
Listening to the movements of the three people here, the female family members laughed softly and looked at Jiang Jinshuang with a bit of contempt and ridicule in their eyes.
