Bai Yuegang of Prince Ning's Mansion

Chapter 214 Something is wrong

When the two left the noisy hall, a gust of cold wind blew away Zhao Fengnian's smell of alcohol.

He looked back at Ruixue beside him who was holding his fingers together, and sighed softly.

The conversation suddenly became more frequent: "Why didn't Wanwan ask me?"

Ruixue raised her head and blinked at Zhao Fengnian: "When you want to talk, you will let me know. If you don't want to talk, it's fine if I just accompany you like this."

Wanting to relieve Zhao Fengnian's entangled emotions, he hooked the corners of his mouth, stood on tiptoe, and climbed onto Zhao Fengnian's shoulders.

He said softly in his ear: "Some things, the more you know, the more dangerous you are. If you want to kill me in the future, it's better for me to know less."

The broken hair around Zhao Fengnian's ears was blown by Ruixue's breath, sweeping the pinnae, feeling numb.

A smile spread from her lips unconsciously, and she stretched out her hand to support Fu Ruixue's waist, making her stand firm and walk properly.

Before walking out of the inner courtyard, the nobles of Kyoto who came to attend the dinner came head-on.

The one who walked in the front was naturally the head of the officials, Ruixue's scumbag father Jiang Huai.

Huaiyu followed Jiang Huai, and nodded towards Ruixue from afar.

Jiang Huai loves face, so when he meets her here, he naturally wants to put on a show.

Unfortunately, Zhao Fengnian is in a bad mood today and has no time to pay attention to him.

Asked to stop, Jiang Huai, who was waiting for his daughter and son-in-law to come forward to say hello, was a little embarrassed.

Fortunately, these people all knew what kind of flair the legendary Lord Ning was, and they didn't think there was anything wrong with it.

I really have to argue, now in the palace, Jiang Huai, who is the left minister, is not as good as Zhao Fengnian, who is directly related to the emperor.

Haha, it was over with a smile, but Jiang Huai felt less comfortable in his heart, and the smirk on his face that was visible to the naked eye was half gone.

The two walked a few steps quickly, and they could already see Xiao Xing and Jing Feng waiting in the outer court.

At the end of the line going to the palace for the banquet, Ruixue saw a few familiar faces.

Li Jiuchen still had the expression of not wanting to be beaten, and greeted Ruixue winkingly.

There was also a small figure surrounded by several big men.

Qi Qilu's face was pale, and surrounded by people, he looked extremely weak and helpless.

It can be seen that he tried his best to restrain himself, straightened his back, and raised his chest.

Seeing Ruixue waving to greet him, she only took a quick look and then turned her head away.

Ruixue was a little strange, the child didn't yell and yell when he saw her that time, even in the palace today, his reaction was a little too cold.

Also, the big guys behind him were not the Beique guards he had seen before.

Just wondering, Zhao Fengnian also stopped, and the two looked at each other, then nodded in understanding.

Without saying anything more, I turned around and followed, and went to the third banquet.

Zhao Fengnian hesitated, and pinched Ruixue's hand.

"I'll take you out and wait for me at home."

Ruixue shook her head: "You can see that something is wrong, right? I will go with you, Huaiyu and Rui'an are also there, if there is any danger, I have to tell them in advance."

Zhao Fengnian only hesitated for a moment, then pulled Ruixue to follow, and whispered to him.

"The people around Qiqilu, I have seen, are Shanyu's pioneers. I fought against them when I was in the northern border. I haven't heard that they will come to the capital before. It must not be that simple."

Ruixue nodded: "I always feel that Qiqilu was held hostage by them. During the time I was in the village, did Qiqilu go to the mansion to look for you?"

Zhao Fengnian shook the hands of the two of them.

"Let's not talk about this. You can play it by ear later. The female relatives should go to the empress first to say hello. You can try to stay there for a while, and I will take care of Ryan."

Ruixue simply replied "Yes" and suddenly felt that the atmosphere became a little tense.

Zhao Fengnian noticed Ruixue's nervousness and comforted her in a low voice.

"It's just a little abnormal. You don't have to be like this. Nothing big will happen. With me here, you can rest assured."

Ruixue smiled gratefully at Zhao Fengnian, with a hint of excitement in her nervousness, after all, the things in the story came into reality.

Fantasizing about whether there will be some assassination and chaos at the banquet.

Studying delays and evacuation routes.

In the brightly lit hall, the palace attendants had already set up a banquet.

The hosts here are well-known dignitaries in Kyoto and envoys from all over the world.

The scale and luxury of this banquet was much higher than the previous two.

This time Zhao Fengnian didn't choose a corner, and sat in the front row generously.

Jiang Huai couldn't help but glance at them from time to time.

Ruixue finally met her uncle Li Ningjue at the banquet.

Different from Zhang Yang's Jiu Chen, her uncle looked extraordinarily reserved, with a decent smile on his face all the time.

The body is not very strong, nor is it greasy like a middle-aged man.

Everything gave people a just right feeling, kind, polite, warm, and a little alienated.

He treats people with a degree of advance and retreat, neither will make people feel flattering, nor will people feel that he is belittling himself.

Even with a smile, he walked up to Jiang Huai to raise a glass with him, and praised Ryan who saluted him a few words.

He nodded towards Ruixue from a distance, but did not come over to greet her.

Rui Xuejian's eyebrows are almost twisted into twists. What does this mean? I recognize Ryan, but don't want to recognize myself?
Before the Holy Majesty came to the banquet, everyone in the hall turned on the social mode, greeting and toasting each other.

Zhao Fengnian also gathered a lot of people here. It is really rare for this prince, who is only known by his name, to appear in such a banquet.

Some people, even if they don't want to make friends, will come over to toast and say a few words.

Who knew that this contact would be available that day.

Ruixue has been paying attention to Qiqilu's movement, a little child, always surrounded by two big men, one on the left and one on the right, sandwiching him.

Ruixue took a deep breath, and seeing that Zhao Fengnian could handle the greetings from these people, she took a glass of wine and walked towards Qiqilu.

Seeing Ruixue getting closer, Qiqilu became nervous, and kept winking at Ruixue, telling her not to approach.

Ruixue didn't care, and sat down beside Qiqilu naturally.

"You little bastard, you have no conscience. Why haven't you visited me in the mansion recently? Unfortunately, I have also made a lot of your favorite food, which is cheaper for others."

Qiqilu's mouth was a little dry, and he didn't reply to Ruixue's words.

Instead, he turned around and introduced Rui Xue's identity with Bei Que and the two big men behind him.

The two men scrutinized Ruixue a few times, and nodded slightly.

Only then did Qiqilu talk to Ruixue.

"There are some things at home, and I can't get away, so I didn't go to see Princess Ning."

Rui Xue smiled lightly: "It's okay, I'm going to pay my respects to the Empress Empress later, the dim sum in her palace is very delicious, would you like to go with me?"
