Rebirth of the High Family's Beloved

Jiang Qingqing didn't know about the seating arrangement, so she pulled Yan Tonglin's sleeve privately, "Husband, is there a problem?"

Yan Tonglin didn't say much, thinking that the palace maid had just confirmed that this was his location, so it must be correct.

"No problem, take a seat ma'am."

As soon as the two sat down, they heard a burst of noise. Yan Tonglin looked up and saw Prime Minister Xiao Chengzhang striding in. The officials who had already sat down stood up and saluted.

He also stood up and saluted.

Xiao Chengzhang just nodded slightly, then walked straight inside, passed Yan Tonglin's seat, and sat down one seat further forward.

After seeing the position of Prime Minister Xiao, Yan Tonglin shuddered in his heart. His position was actually diagonally opposite to Prime Minister Xiao.

As soon as I raised my eyes, I could see Xiao Chengzhang's face which was so serious that there was not a trace of smile on it.

At this moment, he felt vaguely uneasy in his heart. He was almost certain that the position he was sitting in was definitely not the right position for someone of his official title.

But he could not rashly ask to change seats. After all, the seating arrangements for the palace banquet were arranged after the Ministry of Internal Affairs reported to His Majesty.

I guess something went wrong.

Yan Tonglin thought about the current situation and could only sit there and make do with it. He had originally come to the palace banquet happily, but now he felt like sitting on pins and needles.

Jiang Qingqing, who was sitting next to Yan Tonglin, also noticed his uneasiness. She couldn't say much in public, so she could only reach out and hold Yan Tonglin's hand, just to give him some comfort.

At this moment, a loud young voice sounded in the hall.

"Sister Maid, where shall we sit?"

The frivolous tone seemed particularly out of place in the solemn Fengtian Hall, and everyone who was chatting with nearby colleagues was attracted by the voice.

Seeing this, everyone's face showed an expression of anticipation for a good show.

Who could he be? It turned out to be the son of the Han family, the Minister of the Ministry of Rites. He did not hide his true colors when he arrived at the palace, and did not even notice where he was.

Han Liang had a warm and somewhat obscene smile on his face. He grabbed a palace maid who had just walked into the Fengtian Palace, his eyes full of greed.

The palace maid lowered her head in fear, wanting to leave but not daring to struggle too much, because the people who could come to this palace banquet were not people a little palace maid like her could afford to offend.

Seeing this, Han Qi, who was standing next to Han Liang, shoved Han Liang with a sullen face, with an obvious warning.

Han Liang let go of her hand awkwardly and stood aside. He didn't do anything. The little palace maid was pretty, so was there anything wrong with looking at her a few more times and saying a few words?

Han Qi glanced at Han Liang sideways, wishing he could kick him twice on the spot.

Before leaving, he was given numerous warnings, telling people not to say or do anything inappropriate, and to attend the palace banquet obediently.

But the palace banquet hadn't even started yet and it was already embarrassing.

Han Qi's old face turned red with shame, not the shame of shyness, but the shame of embarrassment.

By now, everyone in Dongdu knew that the young master of the Han family had been lying naked on the street all night.

He originally thought that since it had been a month since the incident, no one would remember what happened in his family, so when Han Liang asked to go to the palace to attend the palace banquet together, he agreed.

Who would have thought that Han Liang would never change his bad habit, and even though he could see it but couldn't eat it, it couldn't stop his love of beauty.

Yan Tonglin turned around when he heard the voice and saw Han Liang, dressed in smoky green clothes, walking in from the door behind Han Qi.

He didn't like Han Liang in the first place, and seeing Han Liang's behavior, his disgust was even greater. If Yan Ru hadn't insisted on marrying, and the Han family's background was acceptable, he would never have become a relative of such a family.

He immediately pretended not to see it and didn't say hello, turning around to look to the other side.

Yan Tonglin had forgotten that the place where he was now was a place that was not easy for Han Qi to come to. Those sitting around him were either dukes or prime ministers. Who would have the spare time to come here and be conspicuous?

Yan Tonglin's eyes fell on his left side, and he saw the people sitting at the table on his left.

The man had handsome features, his expressionless face looked a little cold, and his angular profile was 60% similar to the young man sitting next to him.

As if sensing Yan Tonglin's gaze, the man turned around, his deep eyes sharper than expected.

Yan Tonglin withdrew his gaze as if somewhat frightened, secretly apologizing for his rudeness, and raised his glass to toast the man.

The man did not pick up the wine glass, but just said, "I don't drink, Lord Yan, please do as you please."

Yan Tonglin was stunned. The man knew him, but he felt that the man was familiar and he couldn't remember his identity for a moment. He felt so embarrassed that his toes touched the ground.

At this time, the young man sitting next to the man turned around, raised his own glass and tucked in to Yan Tonglin, saying, "Don't mind, Lord Yan. My father has developed this habit from serving in the army for many years. He is afraid that drinking will cause trouble. Ci Shu will toast Lord Yan on behalf of my father."

Yan Tonglin looked at Hua Cishu who finished the drink and immediately understood the identity of the person he had been staring at for a long time.

That man was the renowned general Hua Yingchou, who had fought in countless battles throughout his life and had never been defeated.

What people were most proud of about him was that his two children also followed him to fight on the battlefield and became brave generals in the army at a young age.

It is a pity that his daughter, who was as brave as any man, died on her wedding day.

No wonder there was no smile on Hua Yingchou's face on such a festive day as New Year's Eve.

Yan Tonglin did not dare to show his regret, but he did not hide his respect for Hua Yingchou. He raised his glass again and said, "I did not recognize the general. I drink this glass to apologize to the general. The general has devoted himself to Daxing. It is a blessing for Daxing to have the general around."

Hua Yingchou smiled bitterly, "Lord Yan, you are too kind. This is my job. Lord Yan, the land tax you and your daughter proposed will benefit the people of this area. This is the blessing of the people."

When the two people talked about the affairs of the country and the people, they found a rare common language. They did not flatter each other, but they truly felt that what the other person did was good for the country and the people.

Meanwhile, Han Qi took Han Liang to their seats and sat down, still feeling that everyone's eyes were on them for a long time.

Fortunately, their seats were relatively far back, and when everyone saw that there was nothing interesting to see, they all turned their eyes away and continued chatting.

Han Qi's position was arranged after the six ministers of ministries. Although he was also a fourth-rank official, he was just a small minister of the Ministry of Rites and was far less glorious than the six ministers who held real power.

Those who have no real power are not easily valued, so it is normal for them to be in remote locations.

But when he raised his head and looked at the officials present, he saw Yan Tonglin sitting at the third table, and he immediately felt uncomfortable.
