I made the villain right.

Chapter 254: Marquis Mansion Feast

Outside the Yunbohou Mansion, carriages arrived one after another.

Not far away, three horse-drawn carriages were slowly approaching along the long street.

In the front carriage, Shi Jin and Fan Hua sat side by side.

Shi Jin lifted the curtain slightly, looked outside, and found that Yun Bohou and Sheng Qingwang were waiting at the door.

She couldn't help but whispered softly: "The Marquis and the Holy King are coming to greet us personally. I'm afraid some important person is coming?"

Fan Hua stood aside, looking at her quietly with a gentle look.

Hearing her doubts, he immediately replied: "It's your Majesty and King Jing'an."

In the carriage following closely behind sat the Shi father and son. Both had calm expressions, revealing the steady and capable temperament of people who have experienced the vicissitudes of life.

In the third carriage, Xu Ruogu, Luo Yi and Zhilu sat together.

Xu Ruogu and Zhilu had a hint of excitement on their faces, while Luo Yi had a calm expression and seemed particularly calm.

When Yun Bohou saw the carriage approaching, he looked over with sharp eyes.

"Is His Majesty here?"

After carefully examining the carriages, the Holy King declared, "No."

At this time, the carriage stopped and Fan Hua, Shi Jin and others came out one after another.

Fan Hua held Shi Jin's hand and walked towards Sheng Qing Wang, calling him, "Father."

Shi Jin also bowed slightly towards him and saluted with full courtesy.

King Shengqing nodded slightly, his eyes quickly passed over them and stopped on Shi Wei who followed.

The voice was low and solemn: "Your Majesty and Prince Jing'an will be here soon. General Shi can wait here with us."

Shi Wei's expression froze, and he responded without hesitation: "Of course."

As soon as the coachman moved the carriage away, a loud sound of horse hooves and rolling wheels was heard.

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw four carriages coming towards them. They were of extraordinary aura and made quite a noise.

At the head is a luxurious carriage made of thousand-year-old ebony, with the body of the carriage carved with patterns such as five-clawed golden dragons, auspicious phoenixes and auspicious clouds.

Eunuch Hong and a soldier were sitting at the front of the car, and he knew who was sitting inside at a glance.

The carriage slowly stopped, and Eunuch Hong jumped off the carriage and immediately parked it.

"His Majesty……"

Eunuch Hong was about to shout "His Majesty has arrived" at the top of his voice, but was stopped by Xu Wusheng who got off the car right after him.

“No need to mobilize a large army.”

Xu Wusheng was dressed in black brocade, exuding an innate nobility.

At the same time, Prince Jing'an and Xu Zhijing also got out of the carriage nearby.

King Jing'an had a stern face and his eyes were calm and wise, revealing the majesty of a superior. He was intimidating without even getting angry and was awe-inspiring.

Xu Zhijing followed closely behind with an upright posture and a dignified demeanor.

Xu Wuyou, Yun Youying, and Yun Zhengting walked out of the last two carriages.

For a time, many dignitaries from Kyoto gathered at the gate of the Marquis's mansion.

Fortunately, the street was cleared, otherwise it would have attracted a lot of onlookers.

"Your Majesty, we welcome you respectfully." Shengqing Wang, Shi Wei, Yun Bohou and others all bowed to Xu Wusheng.

Xu Wusheng quickly helped Shengqing Wang up and said, "My dear ministers, there is no need to be so polite."

"Your Majesty, please come this way, Prince." Marquis Yun immediately invited people into the mansion.

There is a large terrace.

Everyone has taken their seats, and the family recognition banquet has officially begun.

King Shengqing stood up first and bowed deeply to Xu Wusheng who was in the main seat.

Then he looked around and said in a loud voice: "Today, I am honored to have your Majesty, the prince, and all the gentlemen come here in person. We are gathered here because my son who has been lost for many years has finally been found. This is a great joyous event, and I have specially held this banquet to celebrate."

After that, everyone agreed.

Then, in full view of everyone, Fan Hua, dressed in gorgeous clothes, walked steadily up the stairs.

His face was calm and his manner was dignified. He first bowed deeply to Xu Wusheng.

"I pay my respects to Your Majesty. May Your Majesty live long, long, long."

Xu Wusheng raised his hand slightly, "No need to be polite."

Fan Hua then turned to King Jing'an and other important guests and bowed with utmost respect.

"My son has been stranded outside and suffered a lot. As a father, I have failed to fulfill my responsibilities and owe him a lot. Now that he has been found again, it is truly a blessing from God. I will do my best to protect him."

King Shengqing stood up and took out a warm jade pendant from an exquisite box.

He gently held up the jade pendant and stared at it for a moment. His brows softened a little, as if the jade pendant carried a period of time and a story.

Then he hung it around Fanhua's waist.

"This is the jade pendant your mother gave me. I have worshipped it in front of the Buddha for a long time. It has been blessed by the Buddha's light and has extraordinary spirituality. I give it to you today, hoping that it can protect you for the rest of your life."

After saying this, he patted Fanhua's shoulder gently, his eyes full of kindness and relief.

Shi Jin, who was sitting next to King Jing'an, saw this and a hint of emotion and joy appeared in his eyes.

After the gift presentation, Fan Hua sat down next to Shi Jin.

Shi Jin glanced at the jade pendant on Fan Hua's waist, his thoughts surging.

Time was so busy that she didn't have time to prepare a gift for him.

Today is such an important day, she also wants to prepare a gift for him.

Her beautiful eyebrows were slightly furrowed as she thought about what gift to give him.

At this time, Marquis Yun clapped his hands gently, and a group of maids dressed in elegant clothes came in one after another.

They held exquisite dishes in their hands, walked lightly and behaved gracefully, and placed the delicious dishes on the table in front of everyone.

After the dishes were served, music began to play and a group of graceful dancers came up from the ladder.

They came to the center of the terrace in gorgeous dance costumes and danced gracefully.

Some of the guests were mesmerized by the graceful figures of the dancers, while others were chatting and laughing.

Only Shi Jin was concentrating on eating.

Shi Jin hadn't had breakfast yet and was already feeling hungry. He quickly started to eat as he looked at the table full of delicious food.

Seeing this, Fan Hua's lips curved up and a smile reached his eyes. He picked up two shrimps and put them in Shi Jin's bowl.

"These shrimps were rushed from Jiangnan, 800 miles away. I heard they are fresh and delicious. Please try them."

"Shi Jin raised his eyes and glanced at the shrimp in the bowl, and replied casually: "I don't eat shrimp. It's too troublesome to peel the shells when eating shrimp."

It wasn't because the taste of the shrimp was not to her taste, but because she hated the process of peeling the shells.

So she seldom eats shrimp.

After hearing this, Fan Hua seemed to understand and immediately started to peel the lobster for her.

Shi Jin initially thought that Fan Hua wanted to eat it herself, until Fan Hua put two peeled shrimps in her bowl, she was stunned.

Then, a happy smile appeared on her lips, and she picked up the shrimp and put it into her mouth.

As I ate the delicious shrimp, a warm feeling welled up in my heart.

She just mentioned it casually, but she didn't expect Fan Hua to take it so seriously.

Seeing that she was enjoying her meal, Fan Hua's smile became even brighter.

Shi Jin also picked up a few dishes and put them in his bowl, smiling and saying, "Ayu, you are the protagonist today, eat more."

Fan Hua responded, picked up a piece of braised pork and put it into his mouth, then continued to concentrate on peeling the shrimp.

Intentionally peel all the shrimp on the plate.

At this time, the female disciples of Qianshuang Pavilion who were sitting not far away cast their eyes towards Shi Jin and Fan Hua from time to time.

One of the female disciples, named Lin Mu, looked at Shi Jin with eyes full of jealousy and anger.

She became enemies with Shi Jin in Qianshuang Pavilion.

She and Shi Jin had a grudge against each other in Qianshuang Pavilion and often gossiped about each other behind their backs.

Most of the false rumors about Shi Jin in Fengyun Pavilion came from her.

Before this, Shi Jin couldn't stand her despicable behavior and beat her up.

She talked to several female disciples beside her and said, "Look at Shi Jin, she looks like she hasn't eaten yet. She doesn't look like a lady from an aristocratic family at all."

"That's right, but it's not her fault. After all, she was a wild child thrown into Qianshuang Pavilion with no one to discipline her." Another female disciple echoed.

"But she is so lucky to marry the prince. I think the prince seems to dote on her very much, which makes others envious." A woman said enviously.

Lin Mu snorted coldly, "I think it's probably because she was clinging to the prince."

Xie Ru frowned when she heard this and gently scolded, "Have you all forgotten the lesson from last time? Just keep your mouth shut and don't talk about others at will."

When Lin Mu heard this, a hint of dissatisfaction flashed in his eyes, but he didn't dare to get angry. He curled his lips and said no more.

And in the dark, there was a pair of eyes watching Shi Jin and Fan Hua's actions.

Shi Xiaomian was holding a bottle of wine in her hand, leaning slightly against an archway, tears glistening in her eyes beneath the mask.

Then she seemed to feel a little sad, took a sip of wine, turned around and left.

The figure looked somewhat lonely and sad.
