On Prime Minister Cao's birthday, hundreds of officials from the capital came to congratulate him.
Even the emperor sent congratulatory gifts, which made Prime Minister Cao look good.
Cao Jiliang, son of Prime Minister Cao, personally greeted the guests who came to celebrate his birthday at the door, with a beaming face.
Xiao Muting's carriage stopped in front of the door, but he didn't get out of the car.
Cao Jiliang naturally saw it and remembered his sister's advice, so he came forward to greet him with a smile.
"Your Excellency, Cao Jiliang, respectfully welcomes His Royal Highness King Chen." He stood in front of the carriage and saluted respectfully.
The car door opened, and Xiao Muting poked his head out of the car.
He, who was always cold-faced, didn't need to give anyone a good look. He just nodded lightly and said, "Congratulations to Prime Minister Cao on his birthday."
"It's an honor for the Cao Mansion that Your Highness, King Chen, can come to my humble residence. Your Highness, please!" Cao Jiliang said with a warm smile.
After Xiao Muting got off the carriage, he gently pulled off the clothes on his body, then turned back and stretched out his hand towards the carriage.
Cao Jiliang couldn't help but stretch his head and look, thinking that the person who was about to get off the carriage was probably the legendary silly concubine.
Su Han got out of the car door and stood on the carriage, his cute big eyes browsing the street outside the bustling house.
There was no excitement at all in his eyes, and there was a hint of disgust in his eyes.
"There are so many people..." she muttered, showing no intention of getting off the carriage.
Xiao Muting's eyes showed tenderness, with a slight smile on his lips, and he looked at her with a gentle expression.
"There are a lot of people. As long as I hold your hand tightly, nothing will happen. You should come down and take a look." He coaxed her softly.
This made all the people who had not yet entered the house and were standing aside waiting for them to go first, all stared blankly.
Some women almost screamed out in surprise when they saw Xiao Muting speaking in such a tone and attitude.
Is this still the cold-faced war king in the legend? Didn't he always have a bad attitude towards everyone? I heard that the emperor would give him three points.
But now, he has such an attitude towards a legendary stupid princess. How could they not be surprised?
Mrs. Su, who was waiting aside, and the two sisters Su Meng and Su Jin who came with her were also surprised when they saw this scene.
At that time, I also met this extremely handsome prince in Prince Chen's Mansion, but he didn't have a good look towards them, but he was much gentler when he spoke to Su Han.
Now it seems that he favors Su Han even more, and the two of them feel very unhappy.
I don’t know what’s so good about this fool, how could he be so favored by the prince, maybe he has some quirks.
Su Han did not reach out to him, but reluctantly said with the intention of retreating: "It's the same if you stand here and can't see. You can still see clearly."
"Then you won't accompany me to the palace to give gifts. Are you really relieved?" Xiao Muting's smile deepened.
The smile didn't matter, as loud gasps and a few exclamations immediately came from the scene.
Su Han's face showed some impatience again, and despite the conflict, he still made a decision.
She reached out to him: "Then we have to make an agreement and give him a gift, that's all."
"Okay! It's up to you." Xiao Muting nodded lightly after holding her hand.
After taking her off the carriage, he found that Cao Jiliang was staring directly at Su Han, with greed in his eyes.
Xiao Muting's eyes were instantly cold, and the coldness in his whole body also surged up.
But his hand was squeezed hard by Su Han, and his body staggered at the same time.
He reacted very quickly, put his hands on her waist, and pulled her into his arms.
"What the hell, no one is cleaning this door, why are there still stones..." Su Han leaned in his arms and complained aloud.
"But you sprained your foot?" Xiao Muting immediately asked her with concern.
Su Han's feet moved under her skirt, and then she shook her head: "It's okay."
Xiao Muting finally felt relieved, helped her stand up again, and then said in a cold voice: "General Cao, can you accept this gift at the door?"
Cao Jiliang came to his senses and immediately smiled and stretched out his hand: "Your Highness, King Chen, come into the mansion quickly."
Only then did Xiao Muting hold Su Han's hand again, glanced sideways at Cao Jiliang who was staring at Su Han in a daze, and snorted coldly: "General Cao will greet the guests at the door. I and the princess can go on their own."
Enter the mansion."
Cao Jiliang nodded again in a daze, and grinned awkwardly: "King Chen is considerate, and I am grateful to you."
"No need!" Xiao Muting said coldly.
"Your Highness Chen Wang, please wait for me..." Lin Haoxuan came over on horseback, jumped off the horse neatly, and threw the horse's rein to the side in a graceful manner. The entourage behind him reached out to catch the horse and led the horse away from the palace gate.
"Why did you come here? I thought you and the Marquis had already entered the mansion." Xiao Muting's tone became much better when she saw him.
Lin Haoxuan came over and greeted them respectfully: "The eldest son of the Marquis of Yanyang, Lin Haoxuan, the general of Pingyuan, have met His Royal Highness and Princess Chen."
Xiao Muting chuckled: "Okay, get back on your feet."
"Get back on your feet." Su Han followed his example and smiled at Lin Haoxuan.
"Thank you very much, His Highness King Chen and the Princess." Lin Haoxuan then stood up.
When people around him saw this, they all saluted: "I have met His Highness King Chen and His Majesty Princess Chen."
"You don't need to be polite. Today is Prime Minister Cao's birthday. Everyone is here to celebrate his birthday. I won't block the road here. I will enter the mansion first. Everyone, please!"
"Your Highness, King Chen, please!" everyone said in unison.
Xiao Muting held Su Han's hand and walked unhurriedly towards the door of the mansion.
Lin Haoxuan walked up to Cao Jiliang. Just as he was about to salute, he was patted on the shoulder.
"General Cao, although we are all in the military, rules are rules and we must not forget them. General Cao really needs to study hard to avoid causing unnecessary trouble to his family." Lin Haoxuan said sarcastically.
He pursed his lips and strode away.
Cao Jiliang then turned around and looked over. Although he was angry and unwilling, he still had to endure it.
These two are people he can't afford to offend.
However, this silly concubine of King Chen in the legend surprised him. It was rare to see such a fairy-looking person.
He turned around and continued to greet the guests who came to celebrate his birthday, but his mind was thinking about other things, and his attitude seemed a bit perfunctory.
What Cao Jiliang was thinking about at this time was how to help his sister and get the position of Princess Chen. As long as she succeeded, then the little fairy-like beauty who just stood next to King Chen would definitely be cast down, and
With his sister's character, she would not be allowed to stay in the palace, and she would definitely be driven out of the palace.
At that time, if he takes the initiative to show up and save her from danger, then this little fairy beauty will be grateful to him and obey his words. It is really a good way to get the best of both worlds.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but laugh from the bottom of his heart, making the guests feel his enthusiasm.
When he saw Mrs. Su and the two ladies, he made a comparison in his mind. These two Miss Su were far inferior to the little fairy just now. They were far behind.
