Star Farm

The host of the banquet greeted him, with a hint of familiarity in his tone, "Xiao Luo, long time no see." Then he turned his eyes to Wen Bai and Wen Jianian, "Is this Mr. Wen? Oh, and our little prince. "

Qiao Mingluo briefly introduced: "Shi Qianting."

The corner of Wen Bai's mouth curled up into a just right smile, "Hello, Your Highness."

Shi Qianting waved his hand, "You don't have to be so polite, we are all one family, you call me Brother Qianting..." Before he finished speaking, he suddenly felt a chill on his neck, and raised his eyes to meet Qiao Mingluo's cool eyes , He quickly changed his words, "Just call me by my name."

Shi Qianting greeted warmly: "You haven't come back for several years, many people don't recognize you, I'll take you to get to know them again."

He turned to leave, but when he turned around, he suddenly saw two people standing behind Qiao Mingluo. His face was horrified, "Mr. Brent?" It turned out to be old Brent, isn't old Brent dead?

Old Brent pretended not to see Shi Qianting's gaffe, and he did a gentleman's etiquette, "His Royal Highness, I haven't seen you for a long time and you are still so handsome."

Shi Qianting smiled awkwardly, "I didn't expect you to be so healthy."

Old Brent smiled appropriately, "Thanks to Your Highness."

Shi Qianting naturally knew who the "His Royal Highness" old Brent was talking about. He was able to enjoy such treatment in the royal family because he knew what to ask and what not to ask. He cleverly changed the subject, "This is your grandson Lin Sen, right?"

Lin Sen hurriedly said, "His Royal Highness."

Shi Qianting touched his chin, Earl Brent also came to the banquet today, which is interesting.

After exchanging greetings, Wen Bai and the others followed Shi Qianting to the banquet hall, but Old Brent bowed slightly to them, "We won't bother you and Your Highness anymore, I wish you a good time."

What else Wen Bai wanted to say, Qiao Mingluo squeezed Wen Bai's palm, and whispered in his ear: "What are you worrying about, old Brent has been an earl for decades no matter what, do you think he is serious? Very bullying?"

After hearing this, Wen Bai's brain seemed to be stung by something, and he realized it instantly.He has always regarded Lin Sen as his employee, and old Brent as the parent of his employees. The boss brought the employees and their families out to see the world. He should take proper care of the employees, but he did not expect However, the employee's parents used to be the big boss of a certain company, and they don't need you to take care of them at all.

Feeling a little self-indulgent, with a warm and embarrassing face, but remembering that he was still at the banquet, he immediately corrected his attitude and greeted the visitor with a smile.

"Your Highness the Second Prince and Your Highness the Imperial Concubine." Mo Li greeted the two of them. He lowered his head and saw Wen Jianian, who was only as tall as his thigh. He quickly added, "Hello, Your Highness, Little Prince."

The visitor introduced himself. Molly was a humorous man. Although he complimented the two of them from the beginning to the end, he did not feel offensive at all.

Lian even made Wen Jianian "giggle" and laughed.

With Mo Li leading the way, people came over to say hello to Qiao Mingluo and the others one after another, with very attentive attitudes.

While chatting, I suddenly heard someone calling out loudly, "Duke Derek!"

The atmosphere around Qiao Mingluo stagnated, and everyone turned their heads to see Qiao Mingluo's expression.

Duke Derek walked into the banquet hall with his wife, Qiao Yunnuo. Duke Derek was not yet middle-aged and looked elegant and handsome, while Mrs. Derek was mature, charming, and generous. If other factors were ignored, the guests might bear it. Can't help but sigh, "What a couple of lovers made in heaven."

Wen Bai once saw a photo of the former queen on Xingwang, but the photo was more than 20 years ago. At that time, the queen was a very elegant and beautiful woman. Over the past 20 years, her appearance has hardly changed.

The eyes of the two met, and the corner of Qiao Yunnuo's mouth curled up, "Your Highness Qiao."

Qiao Mingluo said indifferently, "Mrs. Derek."

Among the guests, the man who spoke up just now raised his voice, "The mother and son must have a lot to say, so let's not bother them."

When the voice fell to the ground, everyone looked at the man in unison. Could it be that this man has something wrong with his mind?Who here doesn't know the relationship between Qiao Mingluo and Qiao Yunnuo?Although these two are mother and son, they are worse than strangers, everyone can only pretend that they don't know, but let this person speak out.

Everyone recognized that this person was the third son of Prince He's family, and when they thought of the news they had heard a few days ago, their expressions became subtle.Mo Li felt that his chance had come, he smiled lightly, and said, "The third young master dislikes us for disturbing His Highness Qiao." He spread his hands, "I can't help it, who made me love wine so much, I finally met Your Highness Qiao, don't be so cheeky as to beg him to reward me with a few more bottles of red wine."

Others followed suit and said, "Your Highness Qiao has a lot of good things, not only wine, but also the delicious food produced by Wen Duoxing, even if you have money, you can't buy it. If you don't rush to curry favor now, when will it be?"

Everyone laughed in good faith.

Everyone said something to each other, and immediately resolved the embarrassment just now, and the scene of talking and laughing in the banquet hall resumed.

Qiao Mingluo raised his eyebrows, and he raised the cup in his hand, "I'm looking forward to coming to the farm as a guest at any time."

Molly was overjoyed to get Qiao Mingluo's promise.

The arrival of Shi Qiansheng immediately brought the atmosphere of the banquet to a climax.

Shi Qiansheng shuttled around the banquet hall like a butterfly, and people kept winking at him. Unfortunately, Shi Qiansheng didn't intend to have a dewy marriage, so their winks were like being thrown to a blind man, and they won't get anything reaction.

Taking advantage of people's unpreparedness, Shi Qianting put his arms around the third young master's shoulders, "Little San, I said it's no wonder I haven't seen you for so many days, so you have already moved out."

The surrounding guests covered their mouths and laughed.

Hearing ironic ridicule, the third son's face flushed red, he shook off Shi Qianting's hand, gave Qiao Mingluo a hard look, and left the banquet hall in a hurry. Flee in embarrassment.

Qiao Mingluo kept that look in his eyes, but he was just a clown, not worth paying attention to. Prince He himself was not capable, and there were not many people who supported him. The sons and daughters who stayed in the Emperor Star will have a hard time. If the third son was able to attend various banquets in the name of the royal family before, but after today, he might be excluded from the activities of these upper-class nobles.

Wen Jianian pulled Wen Bai's hand, "Dad, I want to go to the bathroom."

"Hold up, I'll ask where the bathroom is." Wen Bai was about to call the attendant next to him.

Qiao Mingluo was worried about handing Wen Jianian to an attendant he didn't know, so he said, "I'll take him there." He then told Wen Bai, "Don't run around, lest you come back and find you."

"Got it, Qiao Baba, you're so long-winded." Wen Bai waved his hand in disgust, "Go early and come back early."

"Puchi! Qiao Papa, hahahaha..."

Hearing the familiar voice, Wen Bai turned his head, and he saw the golden head, "Alan, are you looking for trouble, dare to make fun of you, Brother Qiao."

Even Lan Mo, who was always calm, had a smile in his eyes.

The walls blocked the singing and laughing in the banquet hall, the corridor was very quiet, Wen Jianian was in the bathroom, and Qiao Mingluo was waiting for him outside.

Coincidentally, at this time Qiao Yunnuo came out from the women's bathroom next door, and when she saw Qiao Mingluo, her face froze for a moment.

Qiao Mingluo acted as if he didn't see it, and he looked at the wall in front of him without squinting.

Qiao Yunnuo hesitated for a moment, then turned around and walked towards Qiao Mingluo, her voice contained a trace of coldness, "Your Highness Qiao, you don't even recognize your mother?"

Qiao Mingluo finally shifted his gaze to her face, and said in a calm tone, as if standing in front of him was an unrelated stranger, "Mrs. Derek, what's the matter with you?"

Qiao Yunnuo said ambiguously: "The two you brought today are your imperial concubine and your son?" Qiao Yunnuo's words sounded a bit difficult to distinguish, "You are so old in a blink of an eye, but you are lucky Yes, getting married so early and having a child..."

Qiao Mingluo interrupted her, "Mrs. Derek just say what you want, I don't have time to accompany you to reminisce about the old days."

Qiao Yunnuo's face changed slightly, and she quickly returned to her original expression, "You haven't seen your brother yet, have you?"

younger brother?Where did his brother come from?Qiao Mingluo thought of a certain possibility, he sneered, "I never thought Mrs. Derek could have a baby at such an age."

The smile on Qiao Yunnuo's face froze instantly, she simply stopped playing emotional cards with Qiao Mingluo, and her tone became indifferent, "After you left Emperor Star, Derek and I raised a child, who is six years old this year. You asked Shi Qiansheng to confer a title on him."

Hearing such funny words, Qiao Mingluo laughed angrily, "Mrs. Derek, what is your son's identity? He is the son of Duke Derek. He wants a title? Just ask Duke Derek to give him the title. "

Qiao Yunnuo guessed that he would refuse, she raised her chin and looked at Qiao Mingluo condescendingly, "You were born by me, even if you don't admit it, it can't change the fact, if you don't want me to harass you every day, You find a way to get Shi Qiansheng to grant Xiaoshang a title."

Qiao Mingluo's face turned cold, "Mrs. Derek probably drank too much and started talking nonsense. How can your son make Shi Qiansheng grant him the title of nobleman? Please come back, Madam Derek."

Embarrassment flashed across Qiao Yunnuo's face, if it wasn't for her helplessness, how could she find Qiao Mingluo.Duke Derek once had a marriage and had a daughter with his ex-wife. The eldest daughter of Duke Derek should also inherit the title of Duke Derek. The child she raised is an unnatural person and has been in poor health since childhood. She is worried that after her stepdaughter inherits the title, It would be bad for Xiaoshang, so Shi Qiansheng came up with the idea of ​​asking Shi Qiansheng to confer a title on Xiaoshang.

Before that, Qiao Yunnuo approached Shi Qiansheng once, but was rejected by Shi Qiansheng.

Qiao Yunnuo still didn't give up, and thought about it until she heard that Qiao Mingluo had returned to Emperor Star. She knew that Shi Qiansheng had always doted on this younger brother. As long as Qiao Mingluo asked, Shi Qiansheng would definitely not refuse, so she then I want to find Qiao Mingluo and ask him to ask Shi Qiansheng for the title.

"He's your own brother. Even if you don't agree, you have to agree. I'll come back to you in a few days!" After finishing his sentence, Qiao Yunnuo stepped on his high heels and left with his head held high and his back straight.

Qiao Mingluo caught a glimpse of the small figure retreating quickly behind the bathroom door, and said, "Come out."

Knowing that he had been spotted, Wen Jianian walked out from behind the bathroom door and smiled flatteringly, "Father."

"How long have you been eavesdropping?" Qiao Mingluo asked.

Wen Jianian blinked those eyes similar to those of Wen Bai, and stretched out his fingers to compare, "Just for a while, that old woman is so fierce!"

Granny?Qiao Mingluo smiled, in terms of age and seniority, that woman is indeed an old woman.

Qiao Mingluo patted Wen Jianian's head, half coaxing, half threatening: "Don't tell your father what happened just now, or I will tell him about you stealing Aiguo yesterday." It is a kind of fruit that is abundant, but if you eat too much, you will suffer from diarrhea, so Wen Bai won't let Wen Jianian eat more.Qiao Mingluo caught Wen Jianian stealing food yesterday, and Qiao Mingluo didn't let Wen Bai know about it under his pitiful confession.

Wen Jianian puffed his face and let out a heavy "hum".

When the father and son returned to the banquet hall, they found that the banquet hall was noisy. They walked over and saw that it was the old Brent who was reprimanding the new Earl of Brent Dendell. I can't lift my head up.

Old Brent didn't intend to return to the title, but Dendre secretly exchanged his medicine, and had someone instigate Lin Sen to flee from marriage, and bribed Lin Sen's friends. It really chilled him to conceal the fact that he was seriously ill, but he didn't want to Seeing that the Earl of Brent House, which he had served for most of his life, was defeated.

Qiao Mingluo was not interested in matters related to Earl Brent. He searched for the guests, but failed to find the familiar figure.

He was about to dial Wen Bai's terminal when he suddenly saw Wen Bai waving at him behind the floor lamp.

Qiao Mingluo led Wen Jianian over, but just as he was about to speak, Wen Bai covered his mouth.Behind the floor lamp is a corner of the banquet hall. There are several sofas in this small space. During the banquet, if the guests do not want to be disturbed, they will come here to clean up.

Shi Qiansheng seemed to be drunk, he was lying on the sofa with his eyes closed and seemed to be asleep.

A young man cautiously approached Shi Qiansheng, and he kissed Shi Qiansheng's lips lightly.

Wen Bai said in a breathing voice, "That man is the Prime Minister."
