C16 Start of Banquet

A man like that should be Su Jingyue's, so this handkerchief was naturally hers as well.

Su Jingyue told the maidservant who was with her to put away the handkerchief, then casually dragged her skirt, preparing to go back and dress up.

Su Yuyan was not surprised that Su Jingyue knew about the Southern King's invitation tonight. If she didn't, Su Yuyan would have suspected that something was amiss!

At this moment, Su Jingyue had only come to ask the concubine for a gorgeous hairpin. She was just going to wear it at night.

Su Jingyue got what she wanted from the concubine and brought the maidservant back to the courtyard.

Su Jingyue took the snow-white handkerchief and carefully observed it for a while. She felt that it was missing something.

Only after a while did she realize that the handkerchief was extremely pure and unadorned. There was only a golden butterfly present on it. It didn't look like something she would normally use, which made it a little troublesome.

However, although Su Jingyue was not satisfied with a lot of things, she was still satisfied with one thing.

This meant that there was no one's name on the handkerchief. This meant that anyone could belong to this handkerchief, including Su Jingyue.

However, for safety's sake, Su Jingyue allowed the maidservants to place one word of her name on each corner of the handkerchief, except for the three horns of the butterfly.

Su Yuyan couldn't care less about the loss of her handkerchief. It was just a piece of silk. She could just show another one to everyone. After all, she only needed to use the handkerchief so that she could put on some tricks.

On the contrary, Xia Zhi was extremely nervous. "My lady!" Why are you so generous? That's your item, if someone picked it up, it might cause trouble. "

Su Yuyan didn't seem to care about Xia Zhi's words. "Alright Xia Zhi, I know you're very careful. It's just a handkerchief, who would bring out a flower?"

Xia Zhi was speechless. Her young miss was being unreasonable.

However, there were some things that she had to remind him of, "Since the Marquis has invited King Nanping to be his guest, then you and the other young misses must show up. Why don't I dress you up properly?"

Su Yuyan pursed her lips. What in the world was she dressed up for? Did she not think she was eye-catching enough?

Right now, she just hoped that the Southern King wouldn't recognize her as the one who was looking for trouble. Otherwise, she would definitely be provoked later on.

Unfortunately, if only things could be as good as Su Yuyan had imagined.

For the entire afternoon, Su Yuyan was very calm. She even lazily lied in the yard and basked in the sun for a while.

Xia Zhi was extremely busy on the side. His family's young miss was going to be present at night, so she couldn't be outdone by those bastards.

Looking at Xia Zhi's busy back, Su Yuyan couldn't help but laugh. However, she didn't stop her from doing all of this.

Instead of letting her daydream run wild, it was better to find something for her so that she didn't have time to think about it.

Yuan Qiyan wasn't as relaxed as Su Yuyan at the moment. Why would Marquis Xuan, this sly old fox, suddenly invite him as a guest?

If he wasn't so profitable, he wouldn't have entered here.

As expected, he had just arrived at the study room not long ago. "Bang!" Marquis Xuan put down the cup of tea in his hand.

His gaze, which had been wandering the entire time, turned towards Yuan Qiyan, "Your Highness, you have really given this old man a great deal of face by coming to my humble house. You must have a great time tonight. Please feel free to mention anything that you don't want."

Yuan Qi Yan played with the white jade cup in his hand. This thing was likely not something that anyone in the palace would easily take out. This Su Zheng had quite the guts!

Narrowing his eyes, Yuan Qiyan ignored the probing intention within Su Zheng's words and calmly changed the topic.

"Your Lordship must be joking. The Marquis has long ruled over your family, so your manor's hospitality is naturally thoughtful. This king believes that you will be very satisfied."

Yuan Qiyan was not stupid. He had come, and other matters could not be settled so easily.

Seeing that Yuan Qiyan wasn't going to fall for the trap, Su Zheng wasn't in a hurry. He never imagined that Yuan Qi would agree so easily.

If it was so easy, why would he waste so much effort?

With a smile, Su Zheng didn't say anything else and just began to discuss some antiques and paintings with Yuan Qiyan.

Anyways, the two of them had done their best on face, and time passed quickly. The servants saw that Su Zheng and Yuan Qiyan were chatting enthusiastically and hesitated at the door before making a sound to interrupt them.

"Old master, the banquet has been prepared. Why don't you take a look and see if you're prepared to move? Where are the young masters and young misses?"

Su Zheng was chatting excitedly with Yuan Qiyan, but he felt a bit displeased when he heard this. He hadn't even spoken yet.

However, Yuan Qiyan was beside him, so it would be difficult for Su Zheng to get angry, much less allow Yuan Qiyan to continue chatting with him.

Thus, Su Zheng held in his anger and did not show it on his face. A trace of gloom flashed through his eyes.

The servants who had received the notice trembled under the meaningful gaze of Su Zheng. Their entire bodies trembled as they stared at Su Zheng.

How could servants like them not know the temper of the Marquis? Once they got angry, they would be in trouble. If they were hit lightly, they would be kicked out of the manor for heavy responsibility.

Su Zheng waved his hand and someone immediately went forward to pull the servant away.

"Send a few people to invite the madame over, then call those brats and young ladies over. Remember to remind them to be more courteous. Today, we are here for an important guest."

The servant who had been pointed out by Su Zheng hurriedly accepted his orders and ran away, afraid that he would end up like that person.

When Su Zheng turned to face Yuan Qiyan, he hurriedly put on a new face. "Your Royal Highness, everything has been prepared. Can you follow me?"

Yuan Qiyan calmly sipped the tea in his hand as if he hadn't seen this scene. After hearing Su Zheng's words, he nodded his head calmly and allowed Su Zheng to lead the way to the prepared banquet in the front courtyard.

Under the banquet, the people prepared to live in the garden. At this time of year, the scenery in the garden was still pretty good. Furthermore, the place was very spacious.

Su Zheng naturally gave up the main seat to Yuan Qiyan. Yuan Qiyan casually declined a few words before sitting down. In any case, he had done so with courtesy.

He glanced at the people who had arrived and was surprised to find that Su Yuyan was hiding in a corner, trying her best to hide herself. Her head was lowered.

If there hadn't been so many people around, Yuan Qi Yan really wanted to tell her that there was no difference between his appearance and that of hiding his ears and stealing bells.

Su Yuyan was unaware of Yuan Qiyan's internal complaints. She only wished that she could keep a lower profile, sit quietly until the end, and then withdraw with a 'MiMi Mi'.

Unfortunately, her wish to settle down was not something she could decide. At the very least, Yuan Qi Yan would not let her do as she wished. Besides, there was also the restless Su Jingyue.
