Pampered and fierce wife: Reborn daughter-in-law has a strategy

The carriage stopped, and a middle-aged man with a handsome face walked out of the carriage. He was very handsome, the kind of man who would still have a little girl's heart secretly wishing for him even when he was middle-aged.

Well-proportioned figure and extraordinary bearing.

The moment he got off the carriage, the people sent by Li Xinran at the city gate saw him and went back to report it to Li Xinran.

Li Xinran touched her chin, a little curious, what kind of relationship is this that allows the person behind the scenes to appear so easily? Logically speaking, she patrols hunting on behalf of the emperor, and ordinary royal relatives and nobles have to give her three points of courtesy, even if It was unusual that Xiang Jingkun would be avoided because of his face, but this person appeared so carelessly, which aroused Li Xinran's curiosity.

Are you confident or just stupid?

Just as Li Xinran was thinking about it, someone sent her a post.

"Post a post?" Li Xinran smiled, took the post and joked to the guards around him, "I don't know if it's the Hongmen Banquet or the Worship at the Mountain Gate."

When she opened the post and saw the name on the post, the smile on her face suddenly disappeared without a trace, and she even became a little solemn.

"No wonder..." she murmured.

On the day of the banquet scheduled in the post, Li Xinran was wearing a moon-white robe. There was still a faint silver light flowing on the moon-white robe. She tied a high ponytail and put on patterned boots. The guards around looked at each other, not understanding. , why should my general be so solemn.

Li Xinran didn't explain much, just took two people with her and went to the appointment.

The remaining people suggested that Li Xinran would bring two more people, but Li Xinran refused. She vowed to tell them that she was safe, but there was no serious look on her face.

The venue of the banquet was set at the largest restaurant in Xingzhou City. When Li Xinran arrived, Zhizhou had already arrived. Perhaps he knew that the backer was coming. When Zhizhou faced Li Xinran, he was only slightly polite and no longer as groveling as before.

Li Xinran sneered, nodded slightly, and sat calmly in his seat, waiting for the guests.

"General Li doesn't seem to care." After all, Zheng Zhizhou couldn't stand the current environment and spoke first.

Li Xinran smiled softly and looked at Zheng Zhizhou with a little ridicule in his eyes: "I wonder in what capacity Zhizhou is testing me? Are you in the same camp as that noble man, an official of the imperial court, or just a grassroots person?"

Zheng Zhizhou smiled: "General Li is joking. An official must understand what it means to have good eyesight."

Li Xinran bared his teeth and smiled: "Old Li doesn't understand. He just relied on his fists to fight." After saying that, he stopped smiling and stopped talking.

Zheng Zhizhou was embarrassed and didn't look very good, but he didn't say anything. He just turned his head and waited patiently for the arrival of the rightful owner.

About a quarter of an hour later, the announcement sounded, and Li Xinran and Zheng Zhizhou stood up at the same time.

The door opened, and the middle-aged uncle came in with Yao Bingkun. Li Xinran and Zheng Zhizhou saluted at the same time, but Li Xinran clasped his fists on one knee, while Zheng Zhizhou knelt on his knees and prostrated: "Your Majesty, see the Crown Prince of Chu."

Yes, the middle-aged man in front of him is Xiang Hanhai, the eldest son of the highest-ranking Prince of Chu and the crown prince of Chu.

Xiang Hanhai had a faint smile on his face, which made him feel particularly amiable: "Please get up quickly." When Li Xinran raised his head and was about to get up, he found that Yao Bingkun, who was only half a shoulder behind Xiang Hanhai, was about to hide behind the door. They went back, and it wasn't until Xiang Hanhai called them up and they really stood up that Yao Bingkun returned to his place without leaving a trace.

"His Royal Highness, your arrival has really made our Xingzhou City shine. Please come here. This is the best restaurant in our Xingzhou City. I hope you won't dislike it."

Xiang Hanhai said gently: "What are you talking about Zheng Zhizhou? How can I despise such a good restaurant?" As he said, he looked at Li Xinran: "This is General Li, right?"

Li Xinran stood aside without saying a word until Xiang Hanhai asked, then he said respectfully: "Yes, my lord, Li Xinran. Thank you, Prince Chu, for your concern."

Xiang Hanhai smiled approvingly: "Women should not be inferior to men. General Li is worthy of being a descendant of Marshal Li."

Li Xinran became more respectful: "His Royal Highness, you are so complimentary."

Xiang Hanhai only brought Yao Bingkun and not Mrs. Yao, which means that he attaches great importance to Li Xinran. This means that he regards Li Xinran as a serious official, not a woman, and does not need the so-called "lady diplomacy".

Therefore, whether it is about Xiang Hanhai's attention to her or Xiang Hanhai's identity, Li Xinran's heartfelt respect is also necessary.

Xiang Hanhai was very satisfied with Li Xinran's respect and smiled: "Stop standing, sit down."

Although he said that, no one dared to move until Xiang Hanhai took his seat.Xiang Hanhai also knew it, so after he finished speaking, he took the main seat himself, and then greeted him again: "Everyone, please sit down."

"Yes." At this time, the three of them dared to sit down.

After sitting down, Zheng Zhizhou clapped his hands twice, and the fairy-like maid came in carrying delicacies one after another.

Otherwise, Zheng Zhizhou is a professional wallflower. The dishes he ordered were all the characteristics of Xingzhou City, and they just filled the entire table, without even one more plate being piled on top.

Zheng Zhizhou smiled flatteringly at Xiang Hanhai: "Your Highness, these are the characteristics of Xingzhou City. Country side dishes cannot wait for elegant dining halls, but they are somewhat of a wild taste. Can you try them?"

Xiang Hanhai smiled kindly: "Zhizhou is a waste of money, and this prince is also blessed."

Zheng Zhizhou smiled flatteringly: "Being able to eat it in your old mouth is also a blessing they have cultivated over many generations. Please try this eight-treasure stuffed duck."

Xiang Hanhai picked up a chopstick, put it in his mouth, and nodded in agreement: "Yeah, it's really good."

"Come on, come on, try this again..."

"Try this again..."

Zheng Zhizhou was like a social butterfly, shuttling among everyone, especially serving Xiang Hanhai with food and drinks.

But the amazing thing is that even if they all feel that Zheng Zhizhou’s focus is on Xiang Hanhai, they can still feel that Zheng Zhizhou takes care of them, even Yao Bingkun, who is one level below Zheng Zhizhou.

After three rounds of drinking, everyone present was a little tipsy.

Xiang Hanhai looked at Li Xinran drunkenly: "General Li."

Li Xinran immediately turned around and respectfully waited for Xiang Hanhai's instructions.

Xiang Hanhai said with a hint of drunkenness, "How long have you been here?"

Li Xinran responded: "Less than ten days."

"Oh, have you encountered anything in less than ten days? You are patrolling on behalf of the emperor. If you encounter anything, you can speak to me. I can do whatever I want without any ambiguity."

Li Xinran smiled softly: "Whatever the prince wants to say, just say it."

"Okay!" Xiang Hanhai stretched his brows and grabbed Yao Bingkun's hand beside him, "I heard that you and my brother-in-law seem to have some misunderstandings."
