After my inner voice was exposed, I made the tyrant cry anxiously

Mei Ying recommended herself, but Liu Xuan was not annoyed when the conversation was interrupted, "Miss Mei is also proficient in this?"

Mei Ying raised her eyebrows and looked at Su Juan with a proud look on her face, "My father is also the minister of the dynasty. He naturally disciplines me a lot in this aspect, so I know a lot about this."

As she spoke, she talked about some things her mother taught her when Mei Mansion prepared banquets in the past.

Liu Xuan frowned slightly, but did not interrupt. He listened to her and said nothing else.

The Su family members smiled and said nothing, it turned out that Mei Ying liked Liu Xuan.

Since she wanted to show off in front of her sweetheart, why should she be the bad guy and break up her love?

Xie Xun, who was on the side, couldn't stand it any longer and opened his mouth to say, "When your Mei family holds a banquet, you just pile up mountains of gold and silver. Now that Xuzhou is suffering from floods, if you do what you do, the world's literati will not break your spine." "

Although Xie Xun didn't know anything about floods, he also knew that there were natural and man-made disasters, and it was really inappropriate for people in the court to drink and have fun.

Su Juan looked at Xie Xun with a flash of surprise, and then remembered that he had closed himself up and thought about it because of Cai Yi's article.

She raised her eyebrows slightly, "I also know that my spine will be broken by the world's literati. It seems that Xie Xun has a long memory." 】

Xie Xun snorted softly, flicked his fan, and shook it. What's the point of long memory? I just remember the lessons brought by the villain.

Mei Shangshu is a person who cares about face very much. The Mei family holds several banquets a year, with mountains of gold and silver piled up, for fear of being looked down upon.

Noble people in the capital don't like to go to Mei's house, and those who go to the banquet mostly ask for help from Mei Shangshu.

Now that Xuzhou is flooded, the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet must continue to be held. It cannot be a big one, but it cannot make foreign envoys feel that they are being slacked off.

If he followed the Mei family's approach, it would really break the backbone of the world's literati and chill the hearts of the people all over the world.

Mei Ying's expression froze slightly, and she looked at Liu Xuan with an aggrieved expression, "Does Mr. Liu feel the same way?"

Liu Xuan didn't want to hurt anyone, but he never said anything against his will, "Miss Mei's proposal is indeed inappropriate."

His voice was as gentle as the wind, but it made Mei Ying's heart run cold.

Mei Ying laughed dryly and said, "In that case, I won't bother you to talk about business."

With that said, she left quickly, feeling ashamed and angry. Can this Xie Xun speak? He is so annoying!

Su Juan glanced at Mei Ying who was leaving, but thought of another thing. She remembered that the Mei family had no other livelihood outside the home. With just the salary of Mei Shangshu, he had to support such a big Mei family and run such a big business. Many banquets are obviously not enough.

Where did that money come from?
Seeing that Su Juan didn't know what she was thinking, she was thinking seriously, and she obviously didn't want to talk about business anymore, so Liu Xuan didn't mention it again.

Xie Xun pulled her aside, "Let me tell you, we are close on weekdays, but in private you and Liu Xuan should stay away from each other. He is just an idiot who can't adapt. What's the use of staying with him?" OK?"

But Su Juan saw through his expression, "I think he is a very good person. He knows a lot, doesn't have any thoughts, and speaks directly and simply."

[You have been robbed of your limelight and you come to me to sow discord? 】

However, Xie Xun raised his fingers and counted the losses he had suffered from Liu Xuan from childhood to adulthood, one by one, to prove that Liu Xuan was deeply scheming and not as gentlemanly and upright as he seemed on the surface. .

The so-called people who are overly honest are often the scariest people. Can you imagine that a person like this would go crazy if he was wise and self-possessed in dealing with things like this?

Su Juan looked at him with confused eyes, "Xie Xun, do you want to be my father?"

This earnest persuasion is very similar to the old father who is worried about the rebellious daughter and rebellious son in the family ethics dramas I watched in the past.

As soon as these words came out, most of the people looked at Su Juan.

What?
Xie Xun wants to be Su Juan's father?

What, Xie Xun wants to be Su Juan’s father?

No, Xie Xun is going to be a father?
Damn it!Xie Xun becomes a father! "Pfft!" Ping Guogong spit out a mouthful of wine, causing disaster to the Minister of War opposite.

"Sorry sorry!"

The Minister of War's face turned dark, but he still had to smile, "Haha, it's okay, I have to thank the Duke for the wine."

People around him were reluctant to smile, for fear of offending the Minister of War.

Seeing that Duke Ping was frightened, it wasn't a bad thing that his son wanted to be a father. Regardless of whether it was true or not, if it happened to His Majesty, His Majesty would probably be so happy that he couldn't sleep at night.

The old emperor, who was still discussing the matter, didn't believe this. "Okay, that's all for today's discussion. All the ministers will follow me to the Imperial Garden to have a look."

Look where the news about Prince Xie becoming a father came from.

When the emperor arrived with his ministers, the queen was already there.

Knowing what the daughter of the Mei family just said at the table, the queen's eyes darkened slightly and she whispered to the palace attendants around her.

Soon, a palace official brought in pens, inks, paper and inkstones, saying that they were prepared by someone ordered by the Queen. All ladies were invited to recite poems and paint paintings with chrysanthemums as the theme. The one who came out on top would receive the prize prepared by the Queen. ——A gold hairpin inlaid with jade and a red double-bead pattern that was paid tribute to the DPRK last year.

The emperor was surprised. The queen had already surprised him by supervising the chrysanthemum appreciation banquet, and now she even wrote a topic for your daughter's enjoyment.

What's going on here?
For a time, many noble ladies rushed to the battle, not for the lucky draw, but for the talent and fame mentioned by the queen.

This is a matter of bringing honor to one's own family.

The Mei family has always wanted to save face, so Mei Ying would not miss such a good thing.

The Su family had no intention of participating and watched from the sidelines, "This gold hairpin is quite beautiful." 】

Liu Miaoqing had no intention of participating. After all, now that he was in the imperial court, there was no need to argue with the women of the aristocratic family.

But I heard that the Su family members said that the golden hairpin was beautiful, so they went there.

Su Juan's eyes lit up, [Miao Qing will take action and you will know if there is any! 】

Some noble ladies had observed Liu Miaoqing and saw that Liu Miaoqing was not ready to participate, so they tried it, but their expressions changed.

With the most talented woman in the capital here, why would you go out and embarrass this person?
Mei Ying was very conceited and thought this was an opportunity to outshine Liu Miaoqing.

The Queen looked at Su Juan based on the name of the noble girl she was competing with. Her eyes were soft and the corners of her mouth were slightly raised.

This scene fell into the eyes of the attentive Liu Xuan and became the best evidence of Su Juan's identity.

The paintings were completed quickly, and more than a dozen paintings were laid out for the Queen to evaluate.

Su Juan was curious, sat closer to the front, and took a look.

The queen smiled and looked at the emperor beside her, "Your Majesty, can you accompany me to take a look?"

The emperor was stunned, almost thinking that there was something wrong with his ears, and he was ecstatic, "Yes!"

Then he personally supported the queen and walked down together.

Su Juan looked at his reaction and clicked her tongue twice, "Looking at the old emperor like this, acting as innocent as an untouched boy, he is already old and has no future." 】

Ministers: Even the king of a country is too hopeless.

The old emperor is enjoying it, you know nothing, I am lucky!Happy!
