Chapter 162 Only For You 5
The number of people attending the banquet at Zhanjiang Palace this time was much smaller than the last time.

Xia Lan and Feng Yang entered the table together, looking around, most of them were unfamiliar faces.

What is the purpose of King Zhan Jiang's actions?The banquet was coming to an end, but Xia Lan still didn't see anything, it seemed that King Zhan Jiang was just inviting everyone to a meal.

Sui Yan asked himself to express his dissatisfaction with Prince Zhanjiang's mansion as much as possible if he didn't want to get involved in official affairs, but King Zhanjiang didn't do anything other than greet his guests with food and drink, and even if he wanted to express his dissatisfaction, he couldn't find a reason .

Could it be that King Zhanjiang really has no purpose, just pure superficial meaning?Xia Lan was determined not to believe it.

But there was nothing unusual, and Xia Lan couldn't guess, so she had to drink several glasses of wine along with everyone who couldn't avoid it.

Sui Yan and Xue Qi were still guarding Chu Yunxiao today, seeing that Xia Lan had already drank a lot of wine today, Sui Yan couldn't help feeling anxious.

Although Xia Lan has taken hangover pills and won't get drunk at the banquet, she still feels uncomfortable after returning home. The last time I met at Qinya Building, I was late because of a hangover. Sui Yan knew it very well from then on up.

It was another glass of wine that could not be excused. Xia Lansu raised the glass and was about to drink it up.

"Master, there is only one female guest at the banquet, I'm afraid it will be too strong to drink like this," Sui Yan whispered to Chu Yunxiao.

Chu Yunxiao glanced at Xia Lan. Xia Lan was wearing a veil. Although she couldn't see her face, she could vaguely judge that she was a beauty.

As for Sui Yan's reminder, Chu Yunxiao never thought that his cold killer would care about strangers at the banquet for no reason.

"This king is negligent. Miss Qing is a woman, and drinking is a bit reluctant. Someone will replace Miss Qing with fruit wine, and Miss Qing can do whatever she wants."

King Zhanjiang is really a meticulous person, and such special care immediately made the guests present feel a little better.

Hearing this, Xia Lan immediately put down the wine glass she was holding, and stood up to pay her respects, "Then thank the prince for his care."

During the feast, Zhanjiang King Chu Yunxiao very casually provoked the government to collect taxes for the emperor to raise funds to expand the palace, and the guests present immediately talked about it.

Prompted by the drunkenness, the guests present expressed their dissatisfaction with the emperor boldly.

Only a very small number of people took a calm attitude towards this and did not make any comments, and Xia Lan was one of the very few people.

This topic was quickly brought over and a new topic was started, which was a completely natural occurrence.

Xia Lan weighed all the topics at the banquet in her mind, and Sui Yan's reminder fully expressed her dissatisfaction with Zhanjiang Prince's Mansion, and she never found a suitable opportunity to implement this measure.

After returning from the Prince Zhanjiang Mansion, Sui Yan also looked for it and brought Xia Lan the anti-alcohol soup that the imperial doctor had prepared by the Prince Zhanjiang Mansion.

"Suiyan, what does your master mean today? Why didn't I understand it?" Xia Lan couldn't feel at ease until the doubts in her heart were solved.

Chu Yunxiao's purpose is very clear, which is to select a group of people who can be used by the palace through the banquet.

With Xia Lan's performance today, the palace should have already crossed it off the list of candidates.

Sui Yan didn't say it directly, but gave Xia Lan a reassurance, "Lan Xin, you don't have to worry, the Prince's Mansion should not bother the Qing Mansion in the future, and the official affairs probably won't involve you in it anymore." .

　It's snowing in my hometown, and Zuo is also sick. Today I can only change once, and tomorrow there will be more.
