Chapter 34 The gentleman said that he would bear it.
Under the screen, Qian Yao's back was straight and his figure was like a pine tree.
Upon hearing this, Qingshan's eyes flashed with joy, and she raised her eyebrows at Jiang Jinshuang proudly: "Your Highness, did you hear that? Mr. Si Ning is not even on your side!"
Even Mr. Si Ning, who had promised to "fully support" Princess Zhaoming, did not support her. Qingshan instantly felt confident!
But before Qingshan could finish her words, Qian Yao's voice came again through the gauze screen: "What our sir means, if someone makes His Highness unhappy and says something His Highness doesn't like to hear, he pulls out his tongue." That’s it, Your Highness doesn’t need to waste any words.”
After a pause, Qian Yao's voice was as cold as iron: "Sir, he also said that if anyone dares to despise His Highness, he will ask his subordinates to dig out her eyes. Your Highness should not be unhappy."
The man's tone was cold and indifferent, not like he was joking at all.
The female relatives present had never heard of such bloody and chilling words. Their eyes widened for a moment and they were trembling with fear.
Qingshan also froze on the spot, kneeling on the ground very stiffly.
Xia Yurong on the side lowered her eyes, her expression unclear.
Jiang Jinshuang looked around and smiled casually: "Your husband is too cruel."
Qian Yao bowed his head respectfully: "Sir, you also said that Your Highness, please feel free to make trouble, but don't hold it in. If you get angry, he is worried that Your Highness will go back and take it out on him."
Inside the screen, there was silence.
Jiang Jinshuang smiled lazily and casually, and even discussed with Qian Yao outside: "What if someone is killed?"
"The gentleman said he was carrying it."
"If a human life is lost, he pays for it with money."
Jiang Jinshuang nodded seriously: "With his words, I feel relieved."
Qian Yao nodded slightly, then turned and left.
As soon as the man left, the female guests, who were already quiet, seemed so quiet that they could hear someone's heartbeat.
Jiang Jinshuang's eyes swept over the female relatives casually. Those people did not even dare to look at Jiang Jinshuang and hurriedly looked away and remained silent.
The lively and noisy atmosphere just now disappeared in an instant.
Jiang Jinshuang's last gaze was on Qingshan and Xia Yurong.
Qingshan straightened her back and stared at Jiang Jinshuang with frowning eyebrows, still unwilling to give up.
Xia Yurong, on the other hand, was quietly kneeling with Qingshan. Unknown to her, she thought that the whole thing had nothing to do with her.
This Qingshan is also a fool. She was used as a knife by someone, and she stood up for others.
Because she admired General Zhenyuan, Jiang Jinshuang had just reminded Qingshan that since she was stubborn, she couldn't be blamed.
"Miss Qingshan, Miss Xia, what are you two kneeling down for? The banquet is about to begin."
After saying that, Jiang Jinshuang paused, her eyebrows curved, her beautiful eyes were breathtaking: "Or do you really want me to pull out your tongues?"
Qingshan held her breath, but she could only say thank you in a low voice, stood up with Xia Yurong, and sat back down.
With Si Ning's beating, Xia Yurong and Qingshan stopped acting like monsters for a while.
Jiang Jinshuang looked at the tea leaves floating on the table, thoughtfully.
After not seeing His Majesty for three years, Jiang Jinshuang seemed to have forgotten his father.
I don’t know what kind of disgusted expression he will show when he meets His Majesty.
——
Men's seats.
After Qian Yao came back, he walked quietly behind Si Ning and whispered a few words to him.
Hearing this, Si Ning pursed his lips and smiled, with a somewhat conniving smile in his eyes: "Let her go. Your Highness always knows what's appropriate."
Although the Jiangnan Si family had no rank, as a distinguished guest at the palace banquet, Si Ning was placed in the most distinguished seat. Opposite him was the seat of Prince Jiang Biechen.
Next to Si Ning was Chief Pei, the man above ten thousand people. Si Ning did not deliberately lower his voice when he said this. Pei Du lowered his eyes slightly and put down the tea cup in his hand.
The blue and white enamel tea cup is burned so thin that when the man puts down the tea cup, he can even see the tea line when he looks at the wall of the cup from the outside.
Si Ning is very good at perceiving emotions.
Even though the chief assistant next to him said nothing and looked as cold as usual, he could still notice——
Chief Pei has been in a bad mood since he just sat down.
Si Ning's long eyelashes drooped, and some emotion flashed through his eyes.
He raised his lips and smiled, tilting his head slightly: "Sir, Chief Assistant, we had to say goodbye in a hurry at the Yichun banquet last time, and I didn't even have time to express my gratitude to you."
People like Pei Du are terrible.
Even if he himself is in a very bad mood, he can contain all his emotions and treat everyone businesslikely without showing any additional emotions.
Like now.
He bowed slightly towards Si Ning: "Wei Chen is stupid, I don't know what Mr. Si Ning wants to thank Wei Chen for?"
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
Si Ning continued to speak in his usual gentle tone: "Last Yichun Banquet, if the Chief Assistant hadn't gone to the banquet first to stabilize the situation, His Highness might have been laughed at."
After a pause, Si Ning pursed his lips and smiled: "I was delayed due to some things at that time. I am very grateful that the Chief Assistant can go to the Yichun Banquet."
The man in front of him had gentle and kind eyes, a slight smile on his lips, and the gratitude in his eyes didn't seem to be fake.
Pei Du pursed his lips imperceptibly.
This is a very subtle opposition.
Si Ning easily put himself in the same camp as her, and he became the "outsider" who needed to be thanked.
Pei Du lowered his eyes.
"If this is what you are saying to express your gratitude, sir, then there is no need," Pei Du said in a cold tone, "We have known each other for a long time. His Highness returned to Beijing to hold a banquet. We should be present because of both emotion and reason."
"What Mr. Chief Assistant said is absolutely true," Si Ning smiled gently, "His Highness has a good temper and a good temper. He can make friends with anyone and say a few words."
After a pause, as if he suddenly remembered something, Si Ning smiled helplessly: "It's just that Your Highness's memory is not very good. When we were in Jiangnan, although I often dined with His Highness, His Highness rarely mentioned the Chief Assistant. .”
As he said that, Si Ning shook his head indulgently and sighed: "I think it's probably because His Highness can't remember clearly."
Pei Du gently wiped the rim of the tea cup with his fingertips, and his voice contained no emotion: "Has she been to Jiangnan?"
Si Ning nodded: "Yes, His Highness once stayed in Jiangnan for a period of time, and I also met her at that time."
"She doesn't like rainy days. It rains a lot in the south of the Yangtze River, and she can't get used to it."
Si Ning's smile did not fade and she spoke at an unhurried pace: "Really? But Your Highness told me that Jiangnan is very good. If given the chance, she would like to live in Jiangnan forever."
Pei Du picked up the teacup and drank the warm tea in one gulp.
"That is indeed a pity," Pei Du suppressed his emotions and looked sideways at Si Ning, "Now that His Highness has returned to the capital, he may have to stay in Chang'an forever."
Si Ning smiled nonchalantly: "Your Majesty's attitude toward His Highness is unclear now. Maybe it won't be long before His Highness will leave the capital again."
"She can't leave." The man looked down at his tea cup and whispered every word.
Si Ning looked at Pei Du, a flash of emotion in his eyes.
He said no more and sat up straight.
After a while, the shrill voice of the servant came from outside the imperial garden.
"Your Majesty has arrived——"
