Not long after, the carriage stopped at the entrance of Jufulou, and Mu Yunan and Xiao Chengyi got out of the car together.
Today's Jufu Tower was booked again. As soon as Mu Yun'an entered, a palace maid greeted them and led them up to the private room on the third floor.
Pushing open the door, Mu Yun'an found that not only Yuan Jiahe was here, but also Yan Jingxuan, Yan Ruoling and His Highness King Jing were also there.
She was stunned for a moment, and Yuan Jiahe saw her getting up in a hurry and walking over: "Why did it take so long? I thought you weren't coming?"
Mu Yun'an realized what she was doing and hurriedly knelt down to salute her and King Jing. Yuan Jiahe stopped her and said, "What are you doing with such a thing? Come and sit down."
As soon as she finished speaking, she saw Xiao Chengyi behind Mu Yun'an, but it was obvious that the man's face was not very good-looking, and his face was as cold as ice.
Yuan Jiahe couldn't help but shrink his neck, and whispered in Mu Yun'an's ear: "Why did you bring him here too?"
Mu Yun'an glanced at her: "You didn't tell me that Prince Jing and Prince Yan were also there?"
Yuan Jiahe shrugged, somewhat disapprovingly: "They are all my brothers, not outsiders."
Mu Yunan said: "Brother Yi is not an outsider either."
Yuan Jiahe was speechless and stopped arguing with her. He took Mu Yun'an's hand and said, "Okay, come and sit."
Mu Yun'an was pulled over by her and sat next to Yuan Jiahe. Xiao Chengyi also came over, folded his clothes and saluted Yuan Shuo: "His Royal Highness, it's a pleasure to meet you."
"Young Master Xiao, you're welcome. Please take a seat quickly."
Yuan Shuolin stretched out his hand to make an invitation. Xiao Chengyi sat down at the table and said, "I wonder what the purpose of His Highness Prince Jing and the Princess inviting my sister-in-law to come here for a gathering?"
Yuan Shuolin didn't expect that he would ask so directly, so he explained: "Master Xiao, don't get me wrong. The reason for inviting County Master Huihe here today is to thank her for rescuing Jiahe in the palace that day and helping Ruo Ling get rid of her grievances. No
It means something else."
Yan Jingxuan echoed: "That's right, didn't I want to treat you to a guest in Jufulou that day to thank the county master? But something happened and the meal was not finished, so today I am hosting a banquet in honor of the king."
Xiao Chengyi glanced at him, and his cold eyes fell on Yan Jingxuan, which made him feel frightened in his heart. He quickly shut up, not daring to say more.
Yuan Shuolin also noticed that Xiao Chengyi had an aura that was different from ordinary people. Even he, a noble man, felt an invisible pressure.
No wonder Yan Jingxuan spoke highly of him, and he had always been curious to know who the man who was about to become the legitimate son of the General's Mansion was.
When I saw it today, I was not disappointed.
The reason why Xiao Chengyi insisted on following him was actually because he had doubts in his heart. He felt that Yuan Jiahe's invitation to Yan Yan was too strange. Sure enough, there was something fishy about it.
When he saw Yan Jingxuan and King Jing were there, he suddenly felt angry in his heart, so he didn't give them a good look.
Although he is powerless, he is not easy to bully.
Xiao Chengyi chuckled lightly, he casually picked up the tea cup on the table and said in a calm voice: "If His Highness King Jing is a smart man, he should not make the same mistake as the prince.
If you want to win over the General's Mansion, just come to me, but if you want to defeat Yan Yan, don't blame me for being rude."
As soon as he finished speaking, the porcelain cup in his hand was crushed by him.
Everyone was startled, and the surroundings suddenly became quiet. Mu Yun'an reacted first and exclaimed: "Brother Yi."
She quickly took out her handkerchief, held Xiao Chengyi's hand, and helped him wipe away the debris on his hand.
