Manmei refused to look at him, and Jiang Shang left in despair.
Hua Feng had been looking at Manmiao before he left. Manmiao smiled politely at him. The smile was a polite and distant smile unique to Su Youwei. Hua Feng frowned at her dissatisfiedly, turned around and went out.
Qin Qifeng has the identity of Manmiao's biological father. Both Lan Ting and Huangfu Xun were very polite to him. He didn't put on airs. He just said that he wanted to leave some guards for Manmiao. She quickly refused. Lan Ting and Huangfu Xun promised to protect her safety.
, it took some hard talking to get rid of Qin Qifeng's idea.
After returning to the room, Manmeo asked Lan Ting how far things had progressed.
Lan Ting sighed, "Cai Jing is difficult to deal with. He is only loyal to the emperor."
Huangfu Xun frowned and slapped the table, shaking the teacup slightly, "That's not easy to handle, just kill him and replace him."
"You didn't understand what I meant. He is only loyal to the emperor and doesn't care who becomes the emperor." Lan Ting added, and Manmiao and Huangfuxun understood what he meant.
"For now, Cai Jing will handle this matter impartially. As for the future, it's hard to say." Lan Ting took a sip of tea and reached out to touch Man Miao's hand.
Manmei didn't refuse. Anyway, if she refused, Lan Ting would definitely get involved with him shamelessly. It would be better not to bother with it in the first place. "Don't he know that if he is a wallflower who doesn't stand on both sides, it will only be worse in the future? He also
He is not so capable that no one can take his place."
Lan Ting smiled, "No one really wants his position now. He is a hot potato sandwiched between me and Lan Ling. Who would want it?"
Manmei reacted for a second before she remembered that Lan Ling probably referred to Lan Ting's nephew of the emperor.
He raised his eyebrows and said, "It seems that he is in an unpleasant position, and he is also a blind person. I guess by the time you guys finish fighting, his position will be over."
Lan Ting sneered and said nothing.
Seeing Manmei playing with the teacup boredly, Lan Ting said to her, "Speaking of which, my fiancée suffered several losses this time. Lan Ling wanted to find a place for her and asked her to host an autumn banquet.
I heard that many members of the royal family will come to support me."
"Speaking of which, what is the attitude of the royal family towards you?" Manmei had just arrived. Except for the emperor and Lan Ting, no one from the royal family named Lan had ever been seen. I did meet a few of the concubines in the harem.
When Lan Ting heard her question, he let out a long sigh and fell back on his chair in an indistinct manner, "We, the Lan clan, have always fought very hard. The royal family that can be left behind is of no use in the court.
Those who only want to be alive; either they are princesses, and there are very few princes."
Listening to what he said, you knew that there were almost no people in the royal family who could help him. Even if there were supporters, they could only shout in vain.
Thinking that Lan Ting was the youngest son of the late emperor, Manmei, who was born in 1985 and was the only child, found it difficult to understand the situation where her elder sister was almost the same age as her own mother. She asked with a complex expression, "Your imperial sisters must be about the same age as Princess Huangfu, right?"
?”
For the ancients, it was common for the eldest grandson and the youngest son to be about the same age. In modern society, it would probably be in the news and newspapers.
"Can we take this opportunity to take down Jing Zhaoyi? There is an assassination of a general in the capital. Is it because Jing Zhaoyi is incompetent?" Manmiao asked directly.
Lan Ting and Huangfu Xun looked at her strangely, "To us, having Jing Zhaoyi or not having him is the same. What good can you get by getting rid of him?"
Manmiao also felt that her idea was ridiculous and explained, "What I think is: since the commander of the Imperial Guard is not so easy to remove, it is better to hold Jing Zhaoyi in his hand. At least there will be someone who can use it."
of."
Lan Ting shook his head, stretched out his hand to rub the handle of the Grand Master's chair and said, "To us, all the government officials in Jing Zhaoyi are the same. Zhu Mingjun, the commander of the Imperial Guards, is Lan Ling's life-saver. He has been since his father was still alive.
Serving the Prince's Palace is not easy to bribe. Of course, he is also a famous military commander and is very cautious. It will not be easy to kill him."
Huangfu Xun nodded in agreement, "I heard my father talk about Zhu Mingjun before, saying he was a good person. My father worked with him for a while, and then he turned to the prince. My father felt a little pity."
"You can only be a thief for a thousand days, but how can you prevent a thief for a thousand days?" Manmei is not discouraged, "As long as you are determined, you can always find opportunities. With the current situation like this, I don't believe that he is invulnerable."
When they couldn't think of a way, they could only comfort themselves like this. Lan Ting and Huangfu Xun were at their wits' end, so they nodded to agree with her opinion.
The topic turned to attending the banquet hosted by Song Ying.
Manmei met Song Ying. This woman's own fighting strength was only five, and she could not make a big splash. The emperor also liked the Song family behind her, but her father was very calm. His son and daughter were besieged at the imperial banquet.
, just didn’t say a word.
Those who didn't know it thought he was timid and afraid of getting into trouble. Manmeo had seen him performing greetings with Taishi Xu, and felt that this old man was definitely not as simple as he seemed.
**
On the day of the banquet, as usual, the hair-combing lady and maid sent by the Huangfu family took care of them. In the words of these Huangfu wives: There is no way I can lose to that woman from the Song family!
The exquisite jewelry was so heavy that Manmei couldn't lift her head up. According to the wishes of the wives of the Huangfu family, she had to attend the banquet with jewelry weighing ten kilograms on her head! Manmei immediately gave up! I am not a camel, you think of me as a load-bearing tool.
Woolen cloth?!
With her hair in a ponytail, she looked soft and frail, which was in line with Huangfu Jin's status as a person who had been sick for a long time. He didn't wear much jewelry on his head, only a white pearl hairpin the size of a finger.
Manmei always remembers the classic image of Chen Xiaoxu's version of Lin Daiyu, so she is right to pretend to be sick and weak and rely on it!
Huangfuxun went around to Prince Yi's Mansion to pick up Lan Ting and Manmiao, and the three of them arrived in a carriage.
The Huangfu family's carriage has the style of a military commander and has a lot of practical space. It is incomparable to Shan Boyuan's luxurious carriage. It has been graceful and graceful for several times. I have never ridden in Lan Ting's carriage. I think this guy likes to enjoy the style.
, I’m afraid it’s not much worse than Shan Bo.
When they arrived at the place, Lan Ting took Man Miao's hand and came down with him.
Since the last imperial banquet, Lan Ting's popularity has increased significantly, and many people have begun to be very polite to him, no longer the previous indifferent attitude.
As the organizer, Song Ying had to come out to greet Lan Ting and do some face-saving work even though she was very reluctant.
And all the ladies from aristocratic families have long disliked Song Ying and wanted to see her jokes. As soon as they heard that His Highness King Yi had arrived, they all followed Song Ying's footsteps, saying that they were going to pay their respects to His Highness King Yi, so as not to lose anything.
