The banquet will begin soon.

Jiao Shizhi followed Jiao Qiong and was ushered into the table by his subordinates. Most of the courtiers were the sons of ministers of the second and third ranks, and the female relatives were all in the back room.Jiao Shizhi saw that Jiao Qiong kept saying hello to people, during which someone's eyes stayed on Jiao Shizhi faintly, but under Jiao Qiong's understatement, he just smiled and passed away.

Almost everyone who could come to the banquet in Liu's Mansion came. After all, with the emperor's golden words, the invited people would naturally not fail to come, especially this was a banquet in Liu's Mansion.

Jiao Shizhi saw his father Jiao Jun not far away, and Jiao Fang happened to be sitting next to him. The table was full of ministers of the second and third ranks, and it must be Jiao Fang who was leading Jiao Jun.Jiao Shizhi raised his eyebrows, since the last martial arts competition, his father has more contact with his family.

The two on Jiao Qiong's right are the two friends who followed him just now, and Jiao Shizhi on the left is naturally.Jiao Shizhi planned to be a quiet and invisible person, silently scanned around the people sitting on the table, and found that he didn't recognize anyone.No wonder, this wasn't his circle in the first place. Speaking carefully, maybe he would know their father. After all, after staying in the palace for so many days, the people who entered and exited the Duanjing Palace were all big shots.

When Jiao Qiong was toasting with others, he was stabbed by someone next to him. It turned out that his friend Zhou Bai couldn't help it, and asked in a low voice: "What is the background of this person next to you?" Satisfied?It's strange to say it's protection but not very willing, and it's not to say it's contempt.

Jiao Qiong glanced at Jiao Shizhi, who was drinking quietly, turned her head and lowered her voice: "Bangzhi's child, ask someone to take care of my father." He just wanted to pass this time quickly, and made up a reason for him. Zhou Bai, Zhou Bai is a big mouther, if he knows, everyone knows, anyway, no one knows what Jiao Shizhi looks like.

After all, the movements and movements of the East Palace are not trivial matters, and they have long since fallen into the eyes of caring people without deliberately covering them up.

Although Jiao Qiong and Zhou Bai's movements were small, they were both at the same table, and no matter how small the movement was, they could hear it clearly.Jiao Qiong's attitude was like this, but some people didn't have long eyes, and smiled drunkenly: "Jiao Qiong, your younger brother, uh, isn't he the younger brother of our brothers? Come, brother, come and accompany brother Have a few drinks." Jiao Qiong originally wanted to get angry, but when she saw who that person was, she held it back for a while.

This person is Qiu Qi, the grandson of Qiu Jun who died in office in the eighth year of Hongzhi. This person is ignorant, and he is like a little green among thousands of flowers in the whole Qiu family, because the reputation of the Qiu family has always been far-reaching, even after Qiu Jun passed away. The Qiu family has fallen, but there are still many contacts in the officialdom. The emperor still remembers that there is someone like Qiu Jun, and such a scumbag like Qiu Qi. If you can avoid him now, it is not a problem to crush him to death. The problem is to crush him to death. It is easy to have an accident.

Jiao Qiong looked at Qiu Qi with a half-smile, turned the wine glass and said, "You want my brother to toast you, you are still a little tender, I remember you haven't paid the bet last time, right?" Qiu Qi made a bet with Jiao Qiong, the bet was one hundred gold, but Qiu Qi still hasn't paid it.Firstly, Jiao Qiong didn't want Jiao Fang to find trouble for herself at this time, and secondly, it was impossible to go to Shangqiu's house, so she kept putting it off.

A trace of embarrassment flashed across Qiu Qi's rosy face, and the momentum just now dissipated a lot, and he said embarrassingly: "What are you doing, don't you just want to get acquainted with your brother? People drink it."

But Qiu Qi was defeated, but another person's clear voice sounded beside him, "Brother Qiong, can't I drink with you as a brother?" Jiao Shizhi only thought that he should be a very comfortable person, He couldn't help raising his eyes, and found that the man was standing not far away, with clear starry eyes, smiling An Ran, a gentle and refined nobleman.

Jiao Qiong was slightly surprised, and greeted him with a smile, "Brother Luanwen, long time no see." This is Zhang Luanwen, the son of Zhang Sheng, who is also the Minister of Rites. He has a good relationship with Jiao Qiong, but he went out to study two years ago. came back.This man Jiao Qiong couldn't simply refuse. He glanced at Jiao Shizhi, but he didn't expect that he had already stood behind him with him. When the eyes of the two fell on him, he smiled slightly and raised two glasses of wine, "Since Senior brother thinks highly of me so much, I should obey my orders."

I can't stop this glass of wine, and I can't stop it after that.Of course Jiao Shizhi understood this truth, but although Jiao Qiong's method was good, he couldn't keep blocking it.Although he is also doubting the reason why his father was invited, he can't belittle himself and completely underestimate himself.Which one of them is not a child of wealth and honor, and if they give up an inch, they will lose every step of the way.And not many people know him, not enough to worry about.

Zhang Luanwen looked at Jiao Shizhi playfully, reached out to take his wine, and said with a smile: "Brother Qiong, look at your brother, he is much more generous than you." The kid is looking for trouble for himself, right?It's not right to see him smiling.

Qiu Qi clapped the table behind him and applauded, and came over with someone.You come and go between cups and cups, unexpectedly many people come over, after all, this table is not the only one here, Jiao Qiong and others are of good status, naturally attracting many people.During the period, someone asked Jiao Shizhi's name and name, and he smiled at ease: "My name is Jiao Shizhi."

Jiao Shizhi...?Some people raised their eyebrows knowingly, some people sneered with disdain, all beings are in various states, but Jiao Shizhi didn't take it to heart.It's just in Liu's house, and indeed no one dares to make trouble here, but it's over after a few sour words.Only Qiu Qi, a fool, said stupidly: "Oh——The prince's attendant, but I heard that your reputation is not very good, is it related to you?" It looks like a fool, but there are many curious people, waiting to see Jiao Shizhi's jokes.

The disputes here have long attracted attention from a distance, and Jiao Jun's desk person has also discovered what happened here, but as an elder, there is always a hint of connivance.It is always common to be young and frivolous, as long as it is not a principled mistake, you have to let it go.What's more, these few people are self-identified, and it is impossible to go to take care of them, just order the servant to inquire about it.

Jiao Jun was in a hurry, afraid that Jiao Shizhi would cause some trouble, but he didn't show it at this time.

Jiao Shizhi heard Qiu Qi's words, his expression remained unchanged, calm and at ease, he tilted his head slightly and looked at the person in front of him, with a faint light flashing in his eyes, "Brother Qiu is serious, if you talk about relationships, it's time Is there a better way than His Royal Highness the Prince?" Jiao Shizhi understood that what everyone wanted to hear more than others was about the Prince, so he mentioned the Prince lightly, and he replied directly to Qiu Qi.It's useless to speak secretly to someone like Qiu Qi.

Qiu Qi made a fuss, and heard that the prince attaches great importance to Jiao Shizhi, although he doesn't know the truth, but there is no wave without wind.His words... seem to make sense.Qiu Qi would not mess around with things that made sense, so he bowed his hands and left.When everyone saw that the rare opportunity was gone, their interest suddenly faded and they scattered.

Jiao Qiong looked at Jiao Shizhi who was back in front of him, swallowed twice before asking in a cold voice: "You just exposed yourself on your own initiative, what do you want to do?"

Jiao Shizhi smiled warmly and said, "It's better to act first than to suffer disaster unknowingly." He was exposed in advance, and there are many people who pay attention to him, so it is basically impossible for accidents to happen.His reputation as a servant of the prince is great, but in reality, he can't block anyone's way, so although he is cautious, he will not overdo it.

Jiao Qiong muttered a few words in dissatisfaction, but didn't say anything more. The courtyard quickly returned to the previous state of whispering, as if calm had returned.

Suddenly a person came in from the outer courtyard, at first he didn't attract the attention of others, but he ran up cautiously, after looking up a few times, he quietly walked to Jiao Shizhi's side, with a crisp voice, as if he was a little anxious , "Young Master Jiao, the old man is here to invite you, please come with the villain."

When Jiao Shi heard it, he turned around in astonishment, not because of the words, but because of the voice, although it was different, it was clearly Zhu Houzhao's voice!

The prince sneaked out of the palace again? !

At the same time, this sentence was also heard by the people beside him. Jiao Qiong's heart stirred up waves, and she looked at Jiao Shizhi with weird eyes, but she didn't pay attention to the person dressed by the servant in front of her.

Seeing that the words just now attracted the attention of many people, Jiao Shizhi hurriedly said to Jiao Qiong, and then hurriedly pushed Zhu Houzhao away, dying, how did this little ancestor come out of the palace!

Seeing someone leaving in the courtyard, someone would look at him from time to time, and in a blink of an eye, many people knew that it was Jiao Shizhi.After a long while, news spread that Mr. Liuge invited Jiao Shi to go, and there was a lot of discussion in the courtyard, which was really surprising.

At this time, Jiao Shizhi hid behind the rockery, helplessly looking at the sly prince in front of him, "Your Highness, why are you here?"
