The scumbags all want to turn back

The suspension car finally drove into a rich community. Every mansion is separated by wide grasslands, woods, lakes and winding roads. In order to prevent peeping, there are only suspension tracks near the ground in the community.

The host of the party is a well-known musician in the empire. He has created many classic scores and often made soundtracks for TV and movies. He is also a very discerning collector. The paintings and tapestries hanging on the walls in his home, and the ornaments placed in the corners , the sculpture at the end of the handrail of the stairs, and furniture such as tables, chairs, sofas, etc., are all expensive works of art.This aged artist is also an aristocrat with a rich family, and he doesn't mind at all inviting guests to sit on a seven-figure sofa and serve six-figure wines in eight-figure wine glasses for everyone to taste.

Dozens of guests have already come to the party, not only well-known artists and scholars, but also celebrities and nobles who have more activities in the art field.A few people brought juniors over like the duchess, but Ning Yuanchen didn't know these few people of the same age, everyone just said hello, the duchess always brought him by his side, so he didn't have a chance to get to know them.

As the Duchess of Royce said before, she hasn't appeared in public for a long time, so when she appeared with Ning Yuanchen, many guests seemed a little surprised, and several ladies of the same age greeted her happily. Holding her hand, she said with a smile: "It's really hard to see you, you should come out more often."

The duchess thanked them for their concern, and pushed Ning Yuanchen to the front to introduce: "The prince's new good friend has great potential in calligraphy, so I will bring him to learn more."

However, when others heard these words, they automatically replaced "good friend" with "boyfriend".Gu Zhaoting had a few gossips before, but most of them quickly disappeared, and this time the Duchess of Royce actually took the gossip around to socialize in person. Could it be that the position of the crown princess is really settled? up?

Ning Yuanchen pretended not to notice the eyes of other people looking at him. Although he wanted to explain, but after discovering his mother's life experience, he was a little scrupulous. Compared to being guessed about his true identity, it would be better to be misunderstood as Gu Zhaoting's man. friend.

Another guest arrived one after another, and soon, Ning Yuanchen saw Han Xun among the new guests.After a brief meeting with the host and several distinguished guests, he walked straight towards Ning Yuanchen.

"So you said you have something to do, and you came to this party." He deliberately held Ning Yuanchen's hand by shaking hands, and said with joy, "It's really a surprise."

Ning Yuanchen twitched his hand, Han Xun let go of it with interest, and asked again: "How do you know the Duchess of Royce? She is a person who rarely socializes, and she rarely comes out to a party once a year. I don’t deal with strangers at all, and even I just have the opportunity to say hello to her at previous parties.”

Ning Yuanchen took a sip of the wine slowly, and said, "You have to ask her. Maybe it's because she regards me as her future daughter-in-law?"

Han Xun paused for a moment, then said, "It's hard for me to imagine that your final choice will be him."

"Is there anything difficult to understand?" Ning Yuanchen chuckled, "He is the crown prince of the empire, the future emperor, and he is very obedient. Isn't it reasonable for me to choose him?"

"Yuanchen, the current emperor does not hold power like the emperors we have experienced before." Han Xun seemed to have heard a joke, with the corners of his mouth slightly hooked, "The current imperial power is almost divided by the government and the military. , After two or three generations, the royal family will exist in name only, and it will be nothing more than a gorgeous symbol. Although there is still room for turning around, do you think Gu Zhaoting has the ability to gather back the power that has been dispersed? Presumably you are not willing to For the sake of being a superficial princess, put yourself in the spotlight and be a vase with no privacy at all."

Ning Yuanchen didn't intend to accept Gu Zhaoting at first, but after hearing Han Xun's earnest advice, he deliberately said: "I'm just so superficial, even if that position exists in name only, but after all, it's glorious and noble. In front of the emperor, I have to salute respectfully and say hello, I just fancy these ostentatious glory, what can I do?"

Han Xun was silent for dozens of seconds, and he moved closer, trying to grab Ning Yuanchen's hand. Ning Yuanchen flicked his wrist forcefully, and gave him a warning look.

Han Xun touched his sore wrist, bent down to his ear, and said softly, "If you really like that position so much, I can do it too. It's not like I haven't done this kind of thing before." ..."

Ning Yuanchen looked at him in a little surprise, while Han Xun looked into his eyes tenderly all the time: "For you, I can do anything."

"Really?" Ning Yuanchen said expressionlessly, "I remember that the night before you left to take the exam in the capital, you promised me that you would earn a royal order for me and take me to the capital to be an official's wife, and then what?"

The blood on Han Xun's face disappeared without a trace.Ning Yuanchen curled his lips: "When I heard what promise you made, I panicked. Who knows if someone will break into my room in a few days, drag me to a prison, and torture me to tell me who I am? Adultery with some rascal. So, do me a favor, don't imitate Shen Luojun's sweet talk, I'm afraid that if I drink it, it will turn into a poison that burns my mouth."

"Yuanchen..." Han Xun wanted to say something, but Ning Yuanchen turned around and left.But Han Xun took a step faster. He stood in front of Ning Yuanchen, his voice was very soft, and he spoke quickly: "Don't be angry, I won't say anything that makes you unhappy. I have something serious to tell you."

"what's up?"

Han Xun looked up and looked around, smiled and said: "There are too many people now, why not go to your room at night? I heard that the Duchess of Royce decided to stay overnight, and you will too, right?"

"My room?" Ning Yuanchen narrowed his eyes, "Why do you think I did such a tricky thing to let you into my room at such a sensitive moment at night?"

"What if these things have something to do with your mother?" Han Xun's voice was almost inaudible.

Ning Yuanchen's pupils shrank suddenly, and his gaze at Han Xun immediately became cold.

"Mr. Shen and I just care about you..." Han Xun quickly explained softly, "We originally wanted to help you find your father, but we didn't expect to find out something else... Then it's over, I'll come and see you tonight, okay?"

"Don't let others see it." Ning Yuanchen pulled out a cold smile, "Don't make scandals, I don't want to lose the title of Prince's fiancé."

Han Xun took half a step back and nodded in greeting.Ning Yuanchen turned away from him and returned to the Duchess of Royce. The lady immediately took his arm, as if she didn't want to leave him a step.

It's almost lunch time, but the guests are still coming one after another.While Ning Yuanchen was chatting with the Duchess and a novelist, the last distinguished guest finally arrived, causing a small commotion in the living room. Ning Yuanchen looked back and saw that it was Mu Jing In the wind, he was wearing a suit and casual clothes, and walked in behind a white-haired grandfather.

Ning Yuanchen had only seen him in military uniform before, but now he was wearing casual clothes, the chilling and cold aura that belonged to soldiers was slightly covered up, and a noble temperament unique to wealthy and noble families was faintly revealed. In the rooms of celebrities and powerful people, it doesn't look obtrusive.However, he was a soldier, and the strict posture of the soldier in his gestures and the fierce aura that had seen blood still quickly distinguished him from the people around him.

Mr. Mu first greeted his master enthusiastically, and then his eyes looked over. Ning Yuanchen was very sure that his eyes fell on himself almost immediately, and then turned to the Duchess. .

"Wen Xian, how many years has it been since we met?" Mr. Mu walked over quickly and held Duchess Royce's hand, "You are still as beautiful as before."

The Duchess looked very happy, and complained slightly: "The older I get, the more and more outrageous my mouth is." Then she looked at the two young people behind him: "I really envy you, there are two such outstanding grandson."

Old Master Mu laughed, complimented Gu Zhaoting politely, and then shifted the topic to Ning Yuanchen: "This is..."

"A good friend of my family's Zhaoting." The Duchess took Ning Yuanchen's hand, "Zhaoting can't come because of something, so I specifically told me to take good care of him."

When Mr. Mu heard this, his face immediately changed: "Is the Crown Princess settled?"

The people around immediately pricked up their ears, only to hear the duchess say: "You have to ask Zhao Ting about this, he has to make decisions about his love life." However, it was not clarified whether Ning Yuanchen is the candidate for the crown princess.

The audience exchanged meaningful glances with each other, while Mr. Mu stared: "This, this..." He suddenly looked at Ning Yuanchen, and said earnestly, "This is a big marriage, don't worry, young people still have to experience more Come on, don't set yourself up early."

The Duchess opened her eyes wide: "Old Mu, what are you talking about?"

"I'm teaching him life lessons." Mr. Mu raised his hand on Ning Yuanchen's shoulder, "I know about you, my family Jingfeng mentioned you before," he gave a thumbs up, "Young and talented Because, you must be an excellent general in the future. A great future is waiting for you, so don't step into the grave of marriage early, tie yourself up, and delay your future!"

Mu Jingfeng coughed in embarrassment: "Grandpa, would you like something to drink?"
