Chapter 69 The Minister of Rites

"You want to visit Su Shangshu?" Xiao Tingyan frowned at her and refused, "Maybe not."

"Why?"

"Su Shangshu went to the Jiangnan area on an order some time ago. He will have to wait until the end of the year at the earliest." It seems that Su Hua was not notified of the news of Su Shangshu's transfer.

He found out that Su Hua was Su Shangshu's daughter, but the relationship between the two was not known to outsiders. There were only a few small things that vaguely mentioned Su Shangshu's attitude towards Su Hua.

It's not that you treat it like the apple of your eye.

Tang Junning thought for a while: "Then can you ask the prince to lend me two people with strong martial arts skills?"

"What are you borrowing someone for?" Xiao Tingyan checked, he must not be confused.

"There are some things I want to know but I can't handle them well. I promise I won't do bad things or do anything detrimental to the prince." She said with great assurance.

Xiao Tingyan called Ling Feng Lingye over and asked them to disguise themselves before going over.

Tang Junning didn't care at all who the person Xiao Tingyan sent was, but after a little guessing, he recognized the two of them and was still a little surprised.

These two people are Xiao Tingyan's right-hand men, and they are actually assigned to her like this. Are you really not afraid that she will cooperate inside and outside and plot them to death?

"Why do I think she looks at the two of us a little strangely?" Ling Feng followed Tang Yun Ning and whispered.

He always felt that the man looked at them like he was looking at lambs for slaughter.

"The prince is here, don't worry." Their attitude towards Tang Junning was indeed not good before, but after experiencing this series of things, their attitude towards her became better.

Courageous and resourceful, although his force value is not high, he is intelligent.

It is better than the former princess who the prince loved but couldn't bear, but these are their own thoughts and they will never speak out.

Tang Junning took the two of them into the tea banquet.

The young master who came to the capital recently couldn't hold himself any longer, so he held a tea party, which was filled with poems and songs, but in reality he was looking at the young lady.

Previously, there was no such thing as going to the capital, and the sons of high-ranking officials did not leave home. Only the legitimate son and daughter of the family could be brought out to public banquets. Therefore, there were many things that were unclear about people, from harmonious relationships to antagonism.

.

Take the daughter of the prime minister of the previous dynasty. Although she was not her legitimate daughter, she married a new scholar. At that time, I only thought that this person had excellent writing skills and was full of ambition.

So I married my daughter, but within two years, my daughter died. After a search, I found out that all the articles for the new top scholar were copied. In the imperial examination, I also wrote an article that was like a snake oil, and I won the top prize.

The new top scholar had no knowledge or skills, and after only two years of marriage, he tortured the prime minister's daughter to death.

As soon as this incident came out, all the officials in the palace were afraid. One was for the happiness of their children, and the other was for power and wealth. A useless person like the new champion would bring trouble to others!

Therefore, this half-monthly tea banquet was held in the capital as a way to bring these gentlemen and young ladies into contact, so as to avoid the tragedy of the prime minister's daughter from happening again.

Of course, those so-called great defenses between men and women still exist, but everyone is from a wealthy family, so naturally they will not engage in sexual intercourse without a matchmaker.

Although Tang Junning is married, her reputation as a talented woman naturally qualifies her to come here.

But no one present expected to meet her here.

The person in charge of this tea banquet was Qian Wenyun, the legitimate daughter of the Qian family. Her father was the Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs and was an upright person.

"Princess Rui's arrival is a welcome surprise." Tang Junning smiled, "I've never been to a tea banquet before, so I'm curious to see it. Miss Qian, don't worry about me. I'm too much of a bother."

Qian Wenyun took her into the women's side hall, and carefully observed her expression. He was convinced that she was not here to cause trouble, but was really out of curiosity, so he relaxed and arranged other things.

As soon as Qian Wenyun left, the other girls in the hall kept looking here.

"That's Princess Rui, who made a sensation at the Princess's Flower Appreciation Banquet. Her flying flower command is really amazing." A girl whispered, but her eyes kept glancing at her, obviously admiring her.

Tang Junning raised her eyes and looked at her, nodding slightly and smiling.

"This Princess Rui has really given birth to a beautiful face, which has made our whole hall glow with beauty."

"I heard that Princess Rui received a reward from the palace a few days ago. I'm so envious."

The words of the crowd fully demonstrated her beauty to some people present.

The three people in the corner were whispering.

One of the women in green clothes said to the girl in bright yellow skirt: "Isn't Suhua your father's adopted daughter? She has become Princess Rui, and I'm afraid she has helped your father a lot, right?"

"Has she given you anything? Princess Rui must be very generous when she makes a gift. Let's take a look."

The face of the woman in the bright yellow dress turned red, and she was a little embarrassed: "She has her beauty, and we have our downfalls. If she, an adopted daughter, can think of the Su family, it is a blessing to our whole family."

These words were said sourly, especially since this man couldn't help but look towards Tang Junning. Seeing her gorgeous clothes embroidered with silver thread, he wished he could take her place.

I really can't understand that if her father had let her become Princess Rui, the family would only be more glorious now, but he would let an adopted daughter of unknown origin take advantage of the situation.

Su Xiaoxiao was just envious and unfair at first, but the words of the two people around her made her have other thoughts.

According to what they said, Su Hua owed something to the Su family, so it was only right for her to get some benefits from Su Hua.

With this thought, Su Xiaoxiao got up and went to find Tang Junning.

"Sister." She spoke softly, with a hint of resentment, "Sister has been married to Prince Rui's Mansion for so long, but she has never come home to see you. Both your father and mother miss you."

Tang Junning glanced at her in surprise, then smiled a little and patted the chair next to her: "Come on, sit down and talk, don't be tired."

Her attitude once again aggravated Su Xiaoxiao.

"I've been too busy these days, so I haven't been able to go home. Are they still in good health?" Tang Junning chatted with her about daily life, gradually making Su Xiaoxiao relax.

When she came to Su Hua, she relied on her breath. When she came to speak, she had no confidence at all. Fortunately, Su Hua knew what was going on.

The two chatted for a while, and Su Xiaoxiao revealed her true purpose. She bit her lip and said, "Sister, if you go home, will you bring me a gift? A few days ago, I saw that they all brought it.

I have the latest style of hairpin, but my mother refuses to buy it for me. Sister, will you buy it for me?"

Su Xiaoxiao took advantage of her young age. She had a face so tender that it could squeeze water out of her mouth. At the age of thirteen or fourteen, she wore a fresh yellow dress and was just the right amount of coquettish.

Tang Junning smiled: "It's just a hairpin. If we wait until the day we go back, won't Xiaoxiao have to wait a few more days?"
