"Xu has no official position and knows that his status is low. I am afraid that I cannot attend the banquet and I am afraid that I cannot accept the prince's kindness."

Qin Yuechuan pursed his lips, as if he had expected this:

"Uncle Xu, don't worry.

General He's return to the court is a happy event celebrated by the whole country.

This battle will enhance the national prestige of Beixuan and protect the people of Beixuan. Your Majesty has personally granted this battle for the whole world to celebrate.

Your Majesty has handed this matter over to me, Uncle Xu can rest assured."

After a pause, he added, "Princess Hexi in the palace wants to befriend Yueyue, so she has personally sent a letter and will send it to Xu's house soon."

When Xu Yuanshan heard this, his eyebrows twitched wildly, meaning that it didn't matter whether he went or not, Yueyue must go since she was invited by the princess!

On the surface, it seems that his wishes are respected, giving him the choice to go or not, everything is up to him.

But Yueyue didn't have the choice not to go... Prince Rong himself had other intentions than going.

As if he had suffered a loss, Xu Yuanshan couldn't swallow the anger in his heart, nor could he spit it out. He couldn't even express why he was complaining.

Prince Rong said only good things!

He felt unhappy and did not talk to Qin Yuechuan again.

Seeing that Xu Yuanshan did not say anything to refuse, Qin Yuechuan curled the corners of his mouth slightly.

He still felt a little regretful. It seemed that he would not be able to see Xu Xinyue today. Qin Yuechuan stood up and said goodbye to Xu Yuanshan politely.

At this moment, Xu Yuanshan was eager for him to leave quickly, and did not even mention the polite words of inviting him to stay for dinner: What if Qin Yuechuan agreed?

After sending him to the screen wall, Qin Yuechuan turned around inadvertently and caught a glimpse of a pale pink figure hidden under the branches of a vine not far away.

Amid the layers of lush green branches, her light pink dress was faintly visible, setting off her delicate little face, just like a wisteria flower blooming in season, swaying gracefully in the wind.

She poked her head in this direction and looked over there, and when she saw him, she suddenly shrank back like a bird into the woods, disappearing without a trace.

Qin Yuechuan seemed to have sensed something and looked sideways, only to see Xu Yuanshan's eyes wide open, glaring at the vine branch, his nostrils flaring slightly, as if he was blaming Xu Xinyue for not knowing the rules.

Qin Yuechuan sighed slightly in his heart.

However, this is at least a way of seeing her, and knowing that she is fine now also puts my mind at ease.

He got on the carriage and drove away.

"Qingyang."

While driving, Qin Yuechuan suddenly said in a cold voice:

"How is the progress of Qin Zhaolie's work to make up for the deficit of the Port Transportation Bureau? If there is no progress, go and give them a crackdown.

Your Majesty's will is not something you say casually."

Qingyang replied, "Don't worry, Your Majesty. I have been keeping an eye on that place. In order to fill the vacancies, Qin Zhaolie has sold several shops to get silver to make up for them. It seems that the account books will be balanced soon."

Qin Yuechuan nodded: "Go to the wild fighting field in the next few days, and use whatever methods you can to find out the information of the man in black, and why he must have the dice. If you find any of his movements, report it to me immediately."

Qingyang responded, but secretly breathed a sigh of relief:

Fortunately, fortunately, he thought the prince wanted him to fight for several days in a row to win back the dice.

But he heard a voice behind him, as if seeing through him, and said faintly again: "If the information you have gathered does not satisfy me, you can go to the wild fighting arena and win back the dice!"

Qingyang closed his eyes, accepting his fate with bitterness.

At Xu Guanghai's residence.

Xu Mingxi has not been in a good mood in the past two days.

I visited the Earl's House two days ago.

Rong Mingguang and his son Rong Feng were invited to come and lend a helping hand, but in fact, they have not mentioned the purpose of their trip until now, and they have been eating, drinking and having fun in Xu's house every day.

Rong Feng was even worse, he was simply a scoundrel. He was selfish and timid, bullied the weak and feared the strong, and was very fond of beautiful women.

Many of the maids in the mansion were in danger of being killed, and he even threatened that if they followed him back to the Earl's Mansion, they would all be taken away as concubines!

Xu Guanghai was also in a headache. He had originally thought of killing two birds with one stone, getting rid of the bad reputation and taking advantage of the impoverished Earl's Mansion. But now he didn't know whether his decision was right or wrong.

He was unable to save face and explain the matter to Rong Mingguang in detail, so he called Aunt Rong over.

Xu Guanghai's face was cold, and he was about to burst out in anger: "Rong, if you still want to fight for the position of the second wife, you should know what is going on now.

Your father has been in Xu's house for a few days now, you know it well. If he has no intention of helping you, then I have nothing to say.

Anyway, I didn’t say I had to have you that day…”

Aunt Rong was a little anxious. Recently, Xu Guanghai had been calling him "father-in-law" affectionately in front of his father, and he had summoned her to serve him at night for several days in a row.

It can be said that she was given enough face. She felt a little bit high in the past two days. When facing Yang, she sometimes dared to give her a cold look in front of Xu Guanghai.

Yang seemed to be very afraid as well. Aunt Rong thought that she might be worried about losing her position and started to behave herself.

Now Xu Guanghai's words were like a blow to the head.

He actually said now that he didn't say that she was the only one he wanted that day! ?

Aunt Rong looked terrified and begged anxiously, "Master, I will, I will talk to Dad in detail, please don't regret it, there will be a result in three days, at the latest!"

Aunt Rong raised three fingers and swore an oath to the sky.

Xu Guanghai's complexion improved slightly, as if he just realized that his words were a bit harsh. He softened his tone and said to her, "It's not that I'm unreasonable, but you know that I'm still under house arrest and can't even attend court meetings without being summoned. I can't help but feel a little uneasy...

Now, I heard that His Majesty is holding a welcoming banquet for General He upon his return.

I haven’t even seen half of the post for such an important banquet. I don’t even know if I can go, and I feel even more miserable... Rong’er...”

The word "Rong'er" was so full of twists and turns and affection that it made Aunt Rong lose her mind for a moment. She just lay on him tenderly, nodded slightly, and responded considerately.

After some hands-on service, Aunt Rong finally appeased Xu Guanghai.

He didn't care about the pain in his waist and limbs, and went straight to Rong Mingguang's guest house after leaving the main courtyard.

"Daddy."

In order to save face for both the father and daughter, Aunt Rong has been calling him like this for the past few days.

Although he was aware of Xu Guanghai's urgency, he did not dare to push Rong Mingguang too hard.

When she saw Song Mingguang, Aunt Rong bowed respectfully and asked softly, "Dad, have you been comfortable these days?

I wonder if my daughter's arrangement here is to your liking?"

Rong Mingguang hasn't been taken so seriously for a long time. These past few days, it seemed as if he had returned to the time when Old Master Rong was still alive. At that time, the Earl's Mansion had not yet fallen to this state. Because of Old Master Rong, he still held some important weight in the eyes of dignitaries.

Being respected and praised like that, I felt a little flattered and didn't know why.

"Well, it's okay."

Seeing that he was satisfied, Aunt Rong lowered her eyelashes and asked timidly: "Since Daddy is living a comfortable life, when will you consider what your daughter wants? After all... the Earl's Mansion also needs this opportunity..."
