Ziying ran away in a hurry until she disappeared from everyone's sight, with a proud smile on her lips.
She knew she couldn't reach Nangong Chen, but if she gave Nangong Chen a good impression, she might be able to ask for help from others in the future. Having more backers would give her a way out.
"Your Highness, the fourth lady of the prime minister's house is too ignorant of etiquette and has no sense of landlord friendship. She is reckless." A lady from a wealthy family thought she was safeguarding Nangong Chen's dignity and said in an irritated tone.
"Ladies, I'll excuse you for now." Nangong Chen said with a cold face.
Then he waved his sleeves and walked away. As soon as he entered the gate of the Prime Minister's Mansion, he was surrounded by these flowers and butterflies. He couldn't be happy, so he usually would not attend the banquet.
The beauties were stunned, and His Highness the Third seemed very angry. Why did they make His Highness unhappy? It must be the young lady from the Prime Minister's Office just now.
The banquet officially began, and the guests took their seats according to their status. Dongfang Lie said some pleasantries, and after toasting, the banquet entered the atmosphere, with singing and dancing, and it was very lively.
"All the Miss Dongfang are here? Which one is Miss Zihan?" A certain minister, who may have drunk some wine, said boldly, his face a little red.
This remark caused everyone present to stop talking and wait for the Prime Minister to speak.
Everyone wants their daughter to become the concubine of His Highness the Third Highness, even if it is a side concubine. She might become a concubine in another court, but she still wants to see the future concubine of His Highness the Third Highness. Compared with their daughter, the so-called knowing yourself and the enemy will never be in danger.
Moreover, the Prime Minister's Office has never mentioned this matter, and has never let Dongfang Zihan show up. The strangeness in this has to be thought-provoking.
Zi Yan was so frightened that she almost knocked over her wine glass. The situation now was the same as two years ago. In the past two years, she had put all her hostility and rivalry on Luo Wanqing, and she had almost forgotten that little bitch Zi Han.
Only now did she realize that compared to Luo Wanqing, that little bitch was not worth mentioning at all. She just hated that little bitch. He was engaged to His Highness the Third Highness. If the person of the engagement was her, then she would get one more point.
The third highness hopes that even if the third highness wants to marry Luo Wanqing, it can only be a concubine.
Zi Ling was also very frightened. She was already ten years old. After two years, she had almost forgotten that Dongfang Zihan existed.
Although she was intimidated by the third sister and instigated by the fourth sister at that time, in the final analysis, she directly killed the fifth sister. Now that she is sensible, she feels a little guilty.
The expressions of the three ladies of the Prime Minister's Office, namely Qin, Yao and Li, changed.
Especially the Qin family. She was in charge of the internal affairs of the prime minister's house. She had long since discovered that Zihan from Xiyuan was missing. She had selfish motives and never reported it to the prime minister. The prime minister didn't ask, so the matter was settled.
Dongfang Lie's expression did not change. He almost forgot about the daughter he had with his first wife. His first wife, Xiao, was just an ordinary orphan with some cultivation. She stayed with him when he was young and destitute, so they got married.
It wasn't until he made great progress in his cultivation and prospered in his official career that he married a young lady from the powerful Qin family at that time to consolidate his official career. Later, he married the Yao family and the Li family. Even though the Xiao family had not made any progress, he always kept the Xiao family.
The position of the principal wife gives the Xiao family the highest status.
It wasn't until Xiao passed away that he allowed Qin to straighten him up in order to have a successor, so he felt that he was not ashamed of Xiao. Instead, Xiao gave him a fool's daughter, which made him lose the face of the Dongfang family.
