Fast-crossing boss: save the sick, petite and pitiful

Chapter 178 Husband Gets Favor (22)

"Miss." Ji Fu was at a loss at first, then angry.

"How can you promise her?"

Hosting a banquet in a restaurant sounds nice, but basically what they do is not on the table.

It was a humiliation for their young master to go.

"Collect blessings."

Pei Yu stopped him softly.

A slave, even if there is a reason, cannot openly question the master's decision.

"Master." Ji Fu was sobered up by this drink, and he hastily lowered his head to apologize: "Your lie, please forgive me, Miss."

"Ah."

Nan Wan pulls Pei Yu away.

"Wife master?" Pei Yu still had a lot of doubts in his heart.

Just now he almost really thought that Nan Wan didn't want him anymore, his heart hung in his throat, but thinking of Nan Wan's character, this worry gradually dissipated.

"If I reject her now, today's affairs will not be good." Nan Wan explained in a low voice.

She is not a person without measure, and she will not make rash decisions when she is not absolutely sure.

"I will protect you." Nam Wan assured.

"I believe in the wife-lord." Pei Yu outlined a very faint smile, which was very shallow and fleeting.

Nan Wan stood in front of Pei Yu unobtrusively, blocking a lot of admiring eyes.

After Pei Yu noticed it, his heart became softer.

"Let's go! The banquet is about to begin." Nan Wan took his hand and walked towards the center.

The dean is the host, sitting in the upper seat, saw Nan Wan, and nodded to her from afar.

At the same time, Nam Wan saw a familiar face.

The woman just now was sitting on the second side next to the dean, talking with a woman in a long black dress, with a flattering posture.

Nan Wan's eyes flickered slightly, and an idea gradually came to her mind.

Pei Ling was the last one to come, seeing that there was an empty seat next to Nan Wan, she simply sat next to her.

"That's the eldest princess." Seeing that Nan Wan had been staring at the black-clothed woman, Pei Ling took the initiative to introduce: "The most popular candidate to inherit the crown prince is the most favored."

"Mother-in-law is also optimistic?" Nan Wan asked softly.

Pei Ling made a mouth shape to her, and Nan Wan immediately understood.

As the head of all officials, the prime minister naturally puts the Queen's wishes first, and does not favor any side.

"That's Lin Han, the eldest imperial daughter's cousin in name." Pei Ling's eyes revealed a trace of disgust, "I like to seek out women and bully men most of the day."

"Is her relationship with the eldest princess good?"

"It's neither good nor bad." Pei Ling replied, "At most it's a help."

"Then if I fight with her, will the princess help her?" Nan Wan asked suddenly.

"Are you in conflict with her?" Pei Ling was stunned. In her opinion, Nan Wan's character did not seem like a troublemaker.

Nan Wan told her exactly what happened just now.

"It's really deceiving." Pei Ling's eyes flashed with uncontrollable anger.

She doesn't care about other people's ideas, but if she hits her brother, she will be sorry for what she has learned over the years if she doesn't teach him a lesson.

"Don't worry, I'm on your side." Pei Ling said solemnly: "As for the eldest princess, as long as you are reasonable, she will be on your side."

Nan Wan nodded, the thought in her heart became more and more mature.

After the dean had a conversation with the eldest princess, the host of the banquet suddenly changed.

"Everyone."

The eldest princess cleared her throat: "I believe everyone knows the rules of today's banquet. Xiao Wang has a famous painting from the previous dynasty in his hand, which will be given to the final winner."

This is a blatant solicitation.

If one is not careful, it will be classified as ulterior motives, but she doesn't care at all, and it can be seen that the Queen's attitude towards her is unusual.

"May I ask your Highness which famous painting by the former master?" asked a handsome woman in blue.

"She is Yan Qing, a descendant of the Yan family. Her grandmother once served as the queen's grand teacher. She doesn't like fame and fortune. She has the best famous painting in her life."

Pei Ling introduced in a low voice.

When the eldest princess saw Yan Qing, her eyes were obviously eager: "It's a famous painting by Sima Daozi, the master of the former dynasty."

Sima Daozi, the most famous master of the previous dynasty, was a master of calligraphy and painting at that time.

Yan Qing nodded, looking thoughtful.

"She won't participate." Pei Ling said firmly.

"Didn't she like that painting very much?" Nan Wan was a little surprised.

"It's true that she likes it, but she's not that brainless." Pei Ling replied.

"If a preference involves fighting for power and profit, then this preference does not exist."

The empress can tolerate the eldest princess soliciting customers, but she cannot tolerate the eldest princess prying the corner of the wall.

Especially after the Yan family has stated that they will not participate in the competition for the crown prince.

Pei Ling continued: "If you want to climb up in the future, you must be careful."

Nan Yuan spent half her life as an editor of the Imperial Academy, is it because she has no access?
Of course not, she was the number one scholar back then and was highly appreciated by the empress, but she didn't want to be counted and counted, so she willingly stayed in that position for most of her life.

The muddy water in those real aristocratic families does not know how deep it is.

Nan Wan nodded, expressing his understanding.

"One stick of incense is the limit, and at the beginning of the spring scene, write a poem."

"Pei Ling." The eldest princess smiled and named her: "With your talent, you can't stay out of it."

Pei Ling's talent is outstanding in the imperial city, if not for her mother being the prime minister, the eldest princess would have wooed her long ago.

"It's a pity." The eldest princess sighed secretly in her heart.

Pei Ling stood up and apologized to everyone with a smile. Her gentle and polite appearance was easy to win people's favor: "Forgive me, I'm tired and I may not be able to write poems."

What she said was not a refusal. Today, all the big and small matters in Mingyuan were handled by her alone.

"Pretentious." Lin Han muttered dissatisfied.

In her opinion, this group of scholars used to talk nonsense.Why don't you participate if you are poor and don't want to participate? As for making so many excuses?
"Miss Lin, be careful." The dean said with a straight face: "Pei Ling is the head of the academy, so there is nothing wrong with being tired."

"Lin Han." The eldest princess gave Lin Han a warning look.

Lin Han was not convinced, and secretly made a note of Pei Ling in his heart.

It wasn't until seeing Pei Yuhou behind Nan Wan that his face looked a little better.

"If you don't make me feel better, I won't make your brother feel better."

Lin Han licked his lips, looking forward to tonight's banquet even more.

"Then let's start!" The eldest princess waved her hand, and immediately a servant lit the incense beside her.

"You can try." Pei Ling said in a low voice.

There is no harm in participating in the competition, even if you don't get the leader in the end, as long as you become famous, you will achieve her goal of inviting Nan Wan today.

Nanwan did not refuse.

Pei Yu kept his head down, Lin Han's shadowy gaze made him feel sick.

Taking advantage of the surrounding cover, Nan Wan quietly held Pei Yu's hand underneath.

Pei Yu was taken aback for a moment, then came back to his senses and held Nan Wan's hand instead.
