Glory to the ancestors

It was rare for Rong Zhen to hold a banquet in the mansion, and all officials, big and small, from the capital were invited.

Who doesn't know that Rong Guogong is a picky person, and the gifts he prepares are all kinds of rare treasures. Even if there is no shortage in the family, he still has to pick a pair of elegant calligraphy and paintings that can be sold, and take a sideways path.

Standing next to Li Xiao, Yang Jin waved the roast chicken in oily paper to Rong Zhen who was welcoming people at the door.

Rong Zhen smiled, walked over, bowed to Li Xiao, then glanced at Yang Jin, "You are very considerate."

"This is not for you to put on the dinner table," Yang Jin was protecting the food. "This is what I ate with sweet-scented osmanthus in the afternoon."

"I didn't bring anything with me."

"Dignified Duke Rong, don't you think it's embarrassing to ask someone for something?" Yang Jin pouted.

Well, I am ashamed of myself.

Rong Zhen shook his head and gave Li Xiao a helpless smile, "My lord is really patient when he suffers from his stubbornness every day."

"I don't think there is anything stubborn about it." Li Xiao looked up at Rong Zhen with a provocative look.

Rong Zhen knew that Li Xiao was definitely not willing to give in at this time, so he didn't make any more jokes, and let Li Xiao and Yang Jin enter the mansion.

Today's banquet is mainly to celebrate his appointment as Minister of the Ministry of War.

Although he has always been known as a corrupt official, in fact, he has never done such a thing of openly throwing a banquet and receiving gifts, and he needs such experience.

He knew in his heart that the peaceful and prosperous world in front of him would not last long, and if he didn't take the opportunity to do what he had always thought about, he might never have another chance.

Osmanthus sat in the backyard, holding the cat in her arms, buried her face in the cat's body, and never looked up.

"Osmanthus osmanthus, what are you doing?" Jiang Yuhan walked over with her belly outstretched. Her belly was so big that it was scary. Several doctors had seen her, and they all said that she might be pregnant with a couple.

There were several pairs of twins born in the Rong family before, and Mu Xi felt that there was still a great possibility.

He raised his head with a bitter face.

Jiang Yuzan understood in her heart, "You don't like crowds, do you?"

The cat escaped from the control of the sweet-scented osmanthus, and quickly jumped to the top of the wall.

"It's because I don't like so many outsiders." Mu Xi gestured. Originally, he also wanted to help, but there was not even a place to step in the kitchen.

He remembered that before the banquet was held in the mansion, Rong Zhen didn't have to go to the door to greet people. They were all scattered in the small courtyard, doing their own things, and only lingering past when it was time for the banquet.

Now, the sweet-scented osmanthus sighed.

Just as Jiang Yuhan was about to say something to Osmanthus fragrans, she saw Yang Jin walking over with his roast chicken.

"Okay, if you have Yang Jin playing with you, you don't need me," Jiang Yuzan touched the hairpin on her head, "I'll go to the front, it's really cool."

Yang Jin ran over and put the roast chicken in front of the sweet-scented osmanthus, "Hide this."

Osmanthus perplexed.

Yang Jin said, "I'm definitely not going to get enough to eat at that banquet. I'll come back to eat when I'm done!"

Osmanthus osmanthus nodded repeatedly, held the roast chicken in her hands, and ran to her hut.

Yang Jin narrowed her eyes and smiled, and when the sweet-scented osmanthus was far away, she looked up at Rong Zhen's room facing her, and her palms felt warm.

Rong Zhen was also uncomfortable, everyone thought he was favored again, and kept flattering him, and he greeted each other with smiles, pretending to be touched by the camaraderie between each other.

After a while, Li Xiao finally got a chance to get close to Rong Zhen, and whispered in his ear, "Doesn't this feel ridiculous?"

Rong Zhen glanced at him, "I don't quite understand what Wang Ye said."

"They were still surrounding me a few days ago, but now they are all posted here, don't you understand?"

"It's human nature to follow the trend."

"Yes, after this, the focus of the little emperor and queen mother has returned to you," Li Xiao snorted, "Rongqing's way of rescuing me is really wonderful."

Rong Zhen helplessly shook his head.

"But I don't understand what the little emperor means. Since he knows that the people of the Liangqian Sect blame you for their death, he dares to use you. Does he really trust you to the bottom of his bones?"

"What does your lord think?"

Li Xiao shrugged his shoulders, "I still can't believe that my Li family can produce such a stupid person."

After he said this, he walked away with his wine glass in his hand, and Liu Rongzhen stood there in meditation by himself.

Li Yun has become more and more like an emperor in the past two years.

Rong Zhen's eyes were deep, whether it was Li Yun's desire to rebel against his mother, or his situation in the court, his wisdom could be seen more and more.

If he is allowed to develop for another two years, then he can...

"What are you thinking?" Yang Jin leaned in front of Rong Zhen.

Rong Zhen sighed, "Nothing?"

"Did Li Xiao say something unpleasant just now?"

"How do you know?" Rong Zhen looked at Yang Jin with some amusement.

"I can tell by his uneasy look."

"You're still here. I thought you should have gone to the backyard to look for sweet-scented osmanthus."

"I think so too," Yang Jin raised her chin, facing an official standing in the corner, "That's my father's protégé, who just dragged me along for a long time."

Rong Zhen narrowed his eyes, "Dali Siqing?"

"That's right, isn't he usually known for his incorruptibility, and he even came to your feast of corrupt officials?"

Rong Zhen glanced at Yang Jin.

"Let me tell you, in a few days, Li Xiao's concubines will go to Beijing, and his other garden will be in chaos for a while, so I can take this opportunity to give you something."

"Are you done?"

"That's natural, you doubt your Young Master Yang?"

Rong Zhen hurriedly cupped his hands, "Don't dare."

Yang Jin smiled, "Okay, I'm going for a walk."

Rong Zhen watched Yang Jin hurriedly walk towards the back door of the lobby, and did not have time to remind him that Li Xiao was also walking that way just now.

Sure enough, as soon as Yang Jin walked to the door of the backyard, Li Xiao stopped her.

"What are you going to do?"

Yang Jin spread her hands, "Go and play with the sweet-scented osmanthus."

"Didn't I tell you, the two of you rarely meet together, what should you do if you get sick like before?"

"I didn't tell you, I will pay attention next time!"

Li Xiao was speechless, thought for a while, and said, "You know the news that the princess will come to Beijing someday, right?"

Yang Jin nodded.

Li Xiao hesitated for a long time, "In those days, you can go back to your house."

"Really?" Yang Jin's eyes sparkled with excitement.

I'm so happy to leave.

Li Xiao sneered in his heart, and he knew that he was nothing to Yang Jin, "But don't come to this Rongguo mansion too often, you know that I have a relationship with Rongzhen on the surface, and you, as my close minister, You should restrain yourself."

"I have been friends with Rong Zhen for more than 20 years, and I have been your close minister for less than a year." Yang Jin pouted, "My father never restrained me."

"you……"

Li Xiao exhaled, Yang Jin had always held the attitude of not being mad at herself, "You just listen to me."

"Okay, listen to you."

It's such a perfunctory manner again.

Li Xiao felt oppressed in his chest and didn't speak for a long time.

Yang Jin thought that meant the conversation was over, and turned around to leave.

Unexpectedly, Li Xiao suddenly stretched out his hand to hold Yang Jin, and Yang Jin spun around in an exaggerated circle due to inertia, and fell heavily on the wall of the backyard.

His whole body twitched in pain, "What's wrong with you?"

Li Xiao pressed on Yang Jin's body, propped one hand on the wall, "I want you to promise me well, don't see Rong Zhen again."

Yang Jin raised her eyes, without the slightest fear, and repeated word by word, "You, and, committed, what, what, illness?"

Li Xiao clenched his hand against the wall into a fist, and his knuckles made a crackling sound.

"You know what I mean."

"What do you mean?" The corner of Yang Jin's mouth curled up, and the dull pain in his back made his lips tremble slightly, "Are you trying to say that you like me?"

Li Xiao was stunned for a moment, he knew that Yang Jin would definitely feel it, but he didn't expect Yang Jin to say it in such a mocking tone on such an occasion.

"Are you trying to say that I obviously have your liking, but I don't know what to do or not to throw myself on Rong Zhen?"

Yang Jin raised her head and looked at Li Xiao, saying that it was something she was ashamed of, but she didn't seem to care, because her words would hurt Li Xiao even more.

Li Xiao clenched his back teeth and straightened up, "Forget it..."

"Do you think you have the right to like me?" Yang Jin was still aggressive.

Li Xiaoqing looked at Yang Jin with a straight face, wanting to hear what other earth-shattering words he could say.

"You know what it's like when you said your princess is coming so I can come home and live?"

……

Li Xiao froze in place, he could only watch Yang Jin's figure go further and further away.

Yang Jin twisted her painful shoulder and exhaled. He didn't go to the place he had just agreed with Osmanthus fragrans, but went to a secluded place.

He didn't know why, but after saying those words just now, he didn't feel refreshed at all, instead, he felt even more bitter.

He is too clear that there are some things that are buried in his heart and spoken out are two different things.

In this way, the relationship between him and Li Xiao was completely broken.

He also had enough thoughts to give Rong Zhen all the evidence that could destroy Li Xiao.

Yang Jin squatted down silently and hugged her knees. This is the best way, and it is good for everyone.

He is omnipotent and fearless, the most chic and suave young master of the Yang family in the capital, what obstacles are there that he can't get over?

Yang Jin cheered up for a while, stood up again, and went to find the sweet-scented osmanthus.
