Chapter 110 Three People Have an Affair
lobby.
A long table was placed in the middle.
The Prince of Qi and the Prince of Li sat at the top, with two empty seats below, and dozens of people standing on either side. At a glance... Prime Minister Yang Chengzhong, Vice Minister of Justice Wang Mi, Minister of the Supreme Court Wang Zhiyi, Prefect of Jingzhao Prefecture Lord Li... even the Marquis of Wu'an was there!
"Greetings to His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince!"
"Meet Princess Qinghe!"
When they saw Gu Huaizhou and Yan Qing appear, everyone at the table stood up and saluted them together.
Yan Qing: “…”
She knew that Yan Junyuan had invited Gu Huaizhou to his house for a family dinner today. It was already strange that King Qi, King Li and King Jing suddenly showed up uninvited. Why did these people also come to join in the fun?
Just outrageous!
Yan Qing didn't know that the Fourth Prince had just returned to the palace and didn't have a prince's mansion yet, so he was temporarily living in the palace.
If the court ministers wanted to inquire about the Fourth Prince, they could only do so through the Yan Mansion, but they could not do it too ostentatiously.
Who would have thought that the Fourth Prince would be attending a banquet at Yan's residence today, and Prince Qi, Prince Li and Prince Jing were also present. Naturally, those who wanted to curry favor with the princes came uninvited.
As for those who don't want to cling to others, they have to come in order not to appear so different.
Therefore, a small family banquet at the Yan Mansion almost included half of the court officials.
The banquet was set up in the front hall and then moved to the courtyard.
Originally, Yan Qing was not suitable to stay in such a situation, but she had just been conferred the title of princess by the emperor, so naturally she had a seat.
Yan Junyuan arranged for Gu Huaizhou to take Yan Qing's place.
Gu Huaizhou was quite satisfied.
After everyone arrived, they took their seats.
Madam Zhen stood not far away, looking at Yan Qing sitting at the first prince's table, her face twisted with jealousy.
After a moment, Xueqin hurried to her side.
Mrs. Zhen held the handkerchief in her hand: "Have you found the eldest and third young ladies?"
Xueqin wiped the sweat from her forehead and shook her head: "Madam, I have looked everywhere, but no one has seen the eldest and third young ladies..."
"hateful!"
Mrs. Jane gritted her teeth in anger.
Such a good opportunity actually fell into the hands of that little bitch Yan Qing.
"Go find them for me again! You must bring the eldest and third young ladies back to me!"
"Yes!"
Xueqin left again.
Mrs. Jane frowned in anger.
Yesterday, Tan'er and Yue'er both left with that little bitch, and the little bitch came back yesterday. Why haven't Tan'er and Yue'er come back yet?
Nothing will happen, right?
But when she thought of County Master Mingyu, Mrs. Zhen felt that it was unlikely.
No matter how powerful Yan Qing is, even if he will guard against Tan'er, he will not guard against Wang Mingyu. Could it be that his two daughters are with Wang Mingyu?
Madam Zhen felt jealous and worried as she watched Yan Qing move with ease among the princes.
During the banquet.
The King of Qi was also looking at Yan Qing, asking a similar question: "Princess, I heard that Mingyu was with you yesterday, why is she not here today?"
Wang Mingyu had someone deliver a letter to him yesterday, saying that he would give him a big gift. Then he heard that Wang Mingyu had invited the noble lady from Kyoto and Yan Qing to the Fusheng Restaurant.
He thought Wang Mingyu was going to do something to Yan Qing, but he didn't expect that nothing happened yesterday.
Yan Qing seems quite energetic today.
He also gets along very well with his fourth brother.
The King of Qi raised his head and drank the wine in the glass, his eyes moving intentionally or unintentionally between Gu Huaizhou and Yan Qing.
Yan Qing smiled back, "The county lady was with me yesterday, but after we drank a little, we felt a little tired, so I said goodbye to her..."
"is it?"
The King of Qi remained silent.
Yan Qing said calmly, "Yes, if Your Highness the Prince of Qi doesn't believe me, you can ask the Prime Minister. I came back yesterday with Miss Yang from the Prime Minister's Mansion."
Yang Chengzhong nodded immediately when his name was called. "That's right. My daughter Yan'er came back at the end of the evening hour yesterday. She said that after drinking at Fusheng Tower, she went shopping with the princess again..."
The Prince of Qi touched the empty wine glass in his hand, his eyes unclear. "But this morning when I went to pay my respects to the Queen Mother, I discovered that Mingyu hadn't returned to the palace all night. Does the princess know where she went?"
"Is there such a thing?"
Yan Qing showed a surprised expression at the right moment: "After Miss Yang and I left yesterday, I thought the county lady and everyone else had gone back as well."
Prince Qi's gaze lingered on Yan Qing's face for a moment, and he suddenly said, "I've heard before that the princess and Mingyu are best friends in Kyoto. It seems... that's wrong?"
Yan Qing did not refute, but just smiled faintly: "The rumors are not credible."
In the past, she did regard Wang Mingyu as her best friend.
As for the future... I can’t say for sure.
"Second brother, if you want to see Mingyu, why don't you just ask someone to bring her over?"
Prince Jing gnawed on a large pig's hoof and beckoned his servant over: "Go, invite the county lady here and tell her that my second brother misses her."
As a result, the servant ran back as soon as he went out.
Something hit my face.
Prince Jing said with a greasy mouth: "Have you found that girl Mingyu?"
The servant trembled and said, "My Lord, the county lady is here..."
"I'm here now, why are you..."
Prince Jing was stuck before he could finish his sentence.
He stared at the servant's back with a look of horror on his face: "You, you, you, what are you doing..."
"Bah!"
A silver whip slammed heavily onto the dining table.
Dozens of dishes on the table instantly scattered around like flowers from heaven.
Gu Huaizhou quickly pulled Yan Qing up and backed away.
The others also stepped back at the same time.
Only Prince Jing was still sitting there stupidly, his face splashed with vegetable leaves and soup.
Yan Qing was protected by Gu Huaizhou behind him.
I took the time to sympathize with Prince Jing.
Prince Jing looked at everyone, then at the person who had started it, and finally threw away the pig's trotter in his hand with a loud 'pa'. He glared at the newcomer with anger on his face: "Wang Mingyu, what's wrong with you? Not only did you show up here in disheveled clothes, but you also made me dirty. Are you sick?"
"Go away!"
Wang Mingyu whipped Prince Jing.
Prince Jing's eyelids twitched, and he was about to jump away when Prince Qi suddenly stepped forward and grasped the whip. He looked at Wang Mingyu with a serious look, "Mingyu, what happened?"
When Wang Mingyu saw King Qi, he suddenly cried out and threw himself into his arms.
She started to cry.
The others looked at each other.
The Dali Temple Minister and the Jingguang Prefecture Governor both coughed dryly and turned sideways.
Probably because Wang Mingyu was in a very embarrassing situation at the moment.
Although she was not as disheveled as Prince Jing described, she was also very messy. She didn't even comb her hair, which was very indecent!
I don’t know what happened.
To have a county lady rush into the Yan residence in such a messy state...
A good banquet was ruined by Wang Mingyu, and Yan Junyuan was so angry that his face turned blue.
But who can blame her for being the county lord?
Just when everyone was at a loss, Wang Mingyu, who was in the arms of King Qi, suddenly choked up and said, "Second brother, you have to make the decision for me!"
Because Wang Mingyu was raised by Queen Wang, he usually called Prince Qi "Second Brother".
The King of Qi patted her shoulder and soothed her, "What happened?"
Wang Mingyu suddenly looked up at Yan Qing.
Her round eyes were filled with resentment that no one else could understand, but she gritted her teeth in humiliation and refused to speak.
The King of Qi looked between her and Yan Qing and said gently, "Don't be afraid, Mingyu. If anything happens, tell me and I will definitely take care of it for you."
