After rebirth, the female supporting role only wanted to have a grand funeral

Chapter 379
Two days later, there will be a routine court meeting, and all officials in Beijing will participate.

The court meeting was already long, and sometimes it could take up the entire morning. In addition, the second prince and Shen Shangshu had to report on the Yangzhou affairs, and the court meeting was held until noon.

Xue Chen and Jing Xing hurried back to Zuo Xiang's Mansion, just in time for Tangli Residence's lunch.

Seeing the two uninvited guests, Xue Shu couldn't help blinking.

However, the two of them were very self-conscious, Xue Shu was also a host after all, and the host hadn't spoken yet, but they sat down very consciously, and ordered Qingyu and Hongling, and added two more bowls and chopsticks.

It's easy to follow the maid who orders her at a glance.

Jing Xing glanced at the dishes on the table, then at the little rice in Xue Shu's bowl, and couldn't help frowning: "Why do you only eat so little at noon?"

"It's too hot." Xue Shu sighed.

When the weather was hot, her appetite would lose her appetite. If it wasn't for Qingyu who forcibly pulled her out, she probably wouldn't even want to eat this lunch.

Jing Xing sighed, thinking that he would be fine in the afternoon, so it was time to take Xue Shu out to eat something delicious.

"It's enough to be hungry for two meals." Xue Chen snorted coldly, took the full rice from Qingyu's hand, and buried his head in eating.

He ignored Xue Shu.

Anyway, his younger sister didn't go out very much, and food was always prepared in the kitchen from morning till night, and there was Qingyu by her side, so it was hard to go hungry.

Rather than worrying about worrying about it, the most important thing is to fill his stomach first. After standing for a whole morning, he is already so hungry that his chest is stuck to his back. If he doesn't take a quick bite, he will go to heaven .

Jing Xing clicked his tongue, turned his head and glanced coldly at Xue Chen.

The elder brother was the one, the younger sister didn't eat, and it was fine if she didn't care, but she even made sarcastic remarks.

I really want to overturn the job in his hand.

However, Jing Xing was just thinking about it.

After all, the white rice is hard to come by, so we must cherish the food.

Xue Chen and Jing Xing's eating now is like a hungry tiger pouncing on its food. No matter how elegant and pleasing the posture is, the rice in the rice bowl still disappears at a tongue-smacking speed.

"Another half a bowl." Xue Chen wiped the sweat from his forehead while speaking.

She still eats spicy food on such a hot day, who can she blame for her lack of appetite?

However, once this spicy food is eaten into the mouth, it is really a powerful tool for eating, and you can't stop it even if you want to stop. Even if you are sweating profusely, you still have to have another half bowl of rice.

With this half bowl of rice, Xue Chen ate much more politely.

On the other side, Jing Xing had already started talking to Xue Shu about what happened in the hall today.

"Just now, many courtiers said that as the second son, the second prince has already taken important positions, but the first prince is still an idler, which violates the order of seniority, so they jointly proposed to His Majesty to arrange a job for the first prince. Duty." Speaking of this matter, Jing Xing couldn't hide the smile in his tone no matter what, as if he had just watched a big scene, "Of course the eldest prince doesn't want to be rewarded for nothing. But it couldn't resist the excitement of the group of courtiers, so he hesitated, saying that he only wanted a leisurely position, and didn't dare to surpass the second prince."

Regardless of whether the First Prince knew about it or not, in short, such a play today was really lively, and as a judge, Jing Xing watched it very enthusiastically.

Xue Shu blinked her eyes, and said in a hesitant tone: "But... the appointment of the princes, doesn't it all depend on His Majesty's will?"

What work to ask the son to do, isn't it all up to the father?
If the emperor intends to give the eldest prince an official position, then even if there is no such a fuss today, the emperor will definitely find a way to put one on him, but what Jing Xing said just now is that the courtiers and the eldest prince come and go. The emperor seemed to be...unaware.

Xue Chen nodded, and said: "Isn't it? Your Majesty's face is very ugly. The group of courtiers almost tore off the roof of the Golden Temple, and Your Majesty didn't nod. I'm afraid that at this moment, a group of people are still in the study trouble."

It was not easy for the emperor, he was tired all morning, and it was probably noon, he might not even be able to eat a meal.

"Your Highness, you are too impatient." Xue Shu shook her head,
Having made such a fuss in front of the emperor, it is estimated that the emperor must be displeased with the eldest prince.

He has official positions and power, but he has lost the emperor's heart.

This is not a good deal by any means.

"You can't blame His Royal Highness. The Second Highness went to Yangzhou for a tour, not to mention whether he won the Minister of the Household Department into his hands. This achievement alone is enough to make people jealous. With this achievement, Didn't he easily lose a lot of the other two princes?" Xue Chen said, "The eldest prince has already lost a lot, if he doesn't fight hard to catch up, he will only be thrown farther and farther, no wonder he fell into such a coma trick."

These princes seem to be in a competition. Now, the second prince has already run out for a long time, but the other princes haven't even got the tickets. Can you not be impatient.

The eldest prince is also clever, knowing that his second brother has meritorious deeds, and relying on the so-called order of seniority alone can't hold down the second prince at all, so he retreats to the second best, not asking how high the starting point is, just wanting to enter the field .

It's just that the method of entering the arena is a bit stupid, and he even united with the officials to put pressure on His Majesty to achieve his own goal.

Your Majesty is the ultimate winner of the chaotic battle for succession, how could he fail to see the little thought of the eldest prince.

If the eldest prince uses a milder method, the emperor will probably nod his head, but if he wants to use a tough one, then the emperor must teach him a lesson and tell him how powerful he is.

In the days to come, there will be some troubles.

However, this is a private matter of the royal family and has nothing to do with them.

The most important thing now is the banquet in the Hou Mansion in a few days.

"Shu'er, come with me to pick up Miss Sun." Xue Chen said.

Even after several days of mental training, Xue Chen still didn't want to go by himself.

I always feel that it is better to drag my sister to go with my hands tied.

Xue Shu sneered, "Two meals will be fine."

Xue Chen:?
what are you saying?
But why are these words familiar?

Jing Xing on the side had already laughed out loud.

Xue Chen didn't dare to stare at Xue Shu, so he glanced at Jing Xing and said, "Why are you laughing!"

Jing Xing reluctantly put away his smile, and turned his head to put on a serious expression: "Shu'er, are the clothes ready for the banquet that day?"

Xue Shu nodded.

She has no shortage of clothes, but for this banquet, Mrs. Zhenbeihou specially sent her a light organdy gauze dress, which is very comfortable to wear and is most suitable for summer.

Mrs. Zhenbeihou has always been careful. Apart from the skirt, even the matching jewelry was sent, and they were all carefully selected. The sapphire saved the effort of specially matching the jewelry.

Now, everything has been prepared and ready, just waiting for the day of the banquet to come.
