In the afternoon of the next day, Shangguan Chen went to Shangguan Mansion with a congratulatory gift.

The entire Shangguan Mansion was decorated with lanterns and festoons, and there were many people who came to congratulate, people came and went, it was very lively.

As expected of a bachelor, there were still many people who came to support him.

After getting off the carriage, San'er took the gift and ran forward to show the invitation card and gift to the servant at the door: "This is the gift from Lord Shangguan."

As soon as the doorkeeper heard that Lord Shangguan was coming, he immediately came out to greet him. Looking at the entire capital, besides his own Lord, there was only one Lord whose surname was Shangguan, and that was Shangguan Chen, the assistant minister appointed by the late emperor.

The servant walked up to Shangguan Chen's carriage, and saluted very respectfully: "Your Majesty, you are welcome, sir, please come inside."

Shangguan Chen raised the sedan chair curtain, nodded slightly, stepped out of the carriage and walked inside.

Half way to the front hall, Shangguan Chen began to sweat again on his forehead, fine beads of sweat trickled down the roots of his hair, and his steps became smaller and slower...

San'er had already noticed Shangguan Chen's strangeness, he looked at his lord with some distress: "My lord, do you need me to help you?"

Shangguan Chen slowly shook his head. Being so weak is not conducive to helping His Majesty recruit worthy ministers, nor is it conducive to gaining prestige in front of others. No matter how uncomfortable this situation is, he still has to bear it.

"No, I can do it."

After walking another distance, Shangguan Chen could see Shangguan Luo and his wife standing at the entrance of the front hall to greet the guests from far away.

Shangguan Luo also saw him and came up to him from a distance.

Seeing that Shangguan Chen's face was slightly pale, Shangguan Luo showed shame: "It's all because of my lack of thoughtfulness, I should have prepared a sedan chair for my lord."

Shangguan Chen hooked his lips, and said with a warm smile: "Master Shangguan is too worried."

After giving San'er a look, San'er immediately came forward with a congratulatory gift and saluted respectfully: "Master Shangguan, this is a congratulatory gift from my lord, and I hope you will accept it."

Shangguan Luo was flattered and accepted the congratulatory gift: "It will cost you money."

"The collection of poems by Li Zhan in the Southern Dynasty, I hope the Lord Shangguan will like it."

Shangguan Luo was so shocked that he opened his mouth wide this time: "The Li Zhan that the adults talk about is the Li Zhan whose poems and songs have been sung by the common people for more than a hundred years?!"

"Exactly."

As if he had obtained a treasure, Shangguanluo carefully handed the wooden box containing the poetry collection to the servant at the side: "This good man will keep it for me." After speaking, Shangguanluo smiled and bent down to invite Shangguanchen into the front hall.

Shangguanluo's wife is a gentle and generous woman, seeing Shangguanchen walk in, she went up to exchange a few words with him.

"My lord looks bad, so please sit down quickly."

Shangguan Chen smiled slightly, and took a seat behind Mrs. Shangguan.

"Are you thirsty, sir?" Seeing Shangguan Chen's weak body, Mrs. Shangguan couldn't help but ask again.

Shangguan Chen smiled slightly: "Indeed."

"Your Excellency will serve you tea immediately."

Shangguan Chen bowed slightly: "I'm tired."

"My lord, you're welcome." Mrs. Shangguan turned around and arranged to go.

To show his sincerity, Shangguan Chen left the house a little earlier, so there was still about an incense stick of time before the banquet.

There were many people in the front hall, and the voices were very mixed.After sitting for a while, Shangguanchen felt stuffy and thought about going out to the corridor to catch his breath.

San'er made a gesture to follow, Shangguan Chen waved his hand to stop his movement: "You wait outside the front hall, tell me in time if you have anything to do."

Although he was worried about Shangguan Chen, San'er knew that his lord had his reasons for doing this, he struggled for a long while, and finally answered with a bitter face: "Yes."

After walking in the corridor for a while, Shangguan Chen's legs began to feel sore.He leaned halfway on the porch pillar, clenched his hands tightly in his sleeves, cold sweat was still coming out of his forehead.

"Master, you came to Shangguan's mansion today not just to give Shangguan Luo a congratulatory gift, right?" Zhen Zhen slowly approached with a gossip face.

"You're not stupid." Shangguan Chen rolled his eyes, "I have other things to do today."

Zhen Zhen looked innocent and harmless in a small white suit, he moved closer to Shangguan Chen: "Master, are you sure you don't need your charm value?"

Shangguanchen replied without thinking: "No need." Shangguanchen felt that it was better to take his time to win over the minister. You must know that the charm value is only collected for dozens of tasks, which is very expensive.

Zhenzhen curled his lips, and there was a sound of tsk in his mouth: "Master, you are really stingy."

"I pick? Really, you have to speak with conscience. If you put more water and give me more charm points, won't I stop picking?"

Zhenzhen scratched her ears and pretended not to hear, whistled and walked away leisurely.

Really really pit!

"I heard that Xiangguo will come soon?"

"Really?! Then I must go to the front hall to serve!"

"why?!"

"You're stupid! Why else?! Xiangguo is a well-known handsome man in my Dayuan country. He has a good appearance and a good family background. If he finally comes to the mansion, he must see him!"

"But Shangguanchen, the auxiliary minister, is also a beautiful man of our Great Yuan Nation, and I heard that he will come today, why don't you want to see his appearance?"

"Hey, I like those with a stronger physique."

Shangguan Chen stood in an inconspicuous place, and an osmanthus tree was planted behind him, so the maids did not see him.

The maids walked towards the front hall while talking.

Shangguan Chen stood there in a daze, would Dongfang Yinqi also come?

After thinking about it for a while, a smile suddenly appeared on Shangguan Chen's face, the smile was neither light nor heavy, but it added a bit of unpredictability for no reason.

Well, there are some things that should be tested today.

"Owner?"

Shangguan Chen didn't move but spoke slowly: "Fake, what's wrong?"

Zhenzhen's face was full of anger, and he seemed to show his teeth and claws: "Master, I'm called Zhenzhen, not Fake."

Shangguan Chen frowned and smiled, revealing a row of beautiful teeth: "Got it, it's fake."

Zhenzhen jumps up straight: "I've said it all, people call it fake and not Zhenzhen... Hey, no, no, it's true..."

"True or false, I think it's all right, it's easy to say." Shangguan Chen walked away slowly, ignoring the true and meaningless struggle.

Back in the front hall, the banquet hadn't started yet, but there were a lot more people, and there seemed to be a gaze projected on him through layers of figures in the air.

Shangguan Chen raised his eyes to look, and met Dongfang Yinqi's gaze.Dongfang Yin looked at Shangguan Chen with no expression on his face, and Shangguan Chen gave the other party a faint smile and turned his head away.

Dongfang Yinqi's eyes dimmed without a trace.

Mrs. Shangguan Luotong stood in front of the crowd with a happy face: "Thank you, my lords, for your kindness. Now the banquet officially begins."

Shangguanluo's banquet was nothing extravagant, it was just some ordinary food and drink plus some popular songs.

It seems that he is an upright official.

"You can't tell a person's character just by a meal." At some time, Dongfang Yinqi left his seat and sat in the empty seat next to Shangguanchen.

Shangguan Chen's expression remained unchanged, his soft chin looked surprisingly good-looking in the sunlight.After listening to Dongfang Yinqi's words, a delicate face was slowly covered with doubts: "Xiangguo said..."

Dongfang Yinqi raised the wine glass in his hand and touched the teacup in Shangguanchen's hand, his eyes filled with smiles: "Sir Shangguan naturally understands what I'm talking about, so why pretend not to understand in front of me?"

"Oh?" Shangguan Chen also smiled, the smile in his eyes was softer than Dongfang Yinqi's, like a lotus flower blooming at midnight, but the smile became a little weaker at the end, "It's better for Xiangguo to explain it clearly, so that you can let me know." I understand."

Two sets of gazes met in the void, one sharp and the other soft, it was clear that the sharp gaze had the upper hand, but for some reason, slowly, that sharp gaze gradually weakened, and it was the soft gaze instead. as always.

Get the upper hand.

Dongfang Yinqi didn't care about Shangguan Chen's gaze. After a while, he smiled softly, "Since Mr. Shangguan likes to pretend to be confused, I won't force it, it's just..." He suddenly put his lips close to Shangguan Chen's ear, and lifted his lips together. A gust of sensitive warm air, "Just because I don't talk about some things doesn't mean I don't understand."

After he finished speaking slowly, he moved his lips away calmly. Seeing Shangguan Chen's red earlobes, Dongfang Yinqi raised his lips in satisfaction, got up and continued to chat with other officials.

"Master, why are your ears so red?" Zhenzhen's voice was very low, and Shangguanchen could still hear the obvious gloating in his words.

Shangguan Chen slightly hooked the corners of his lips, and a clear smile exploded in his eyes: "Should I slap you, I promise, after the slap, your face will definitely be redder than my ears."

"It's still... or... don't let it go!" Zhenzhen ran away covering her face.

Seeing Zhen Zhen fleeing in a panic, Shangguan Chen pursed his lips in satisfaction.Just smiling, the smile at the corner of his mouth slowly faded, and the smile at the corner of his eyes also became indifferent.

Dongfang Yinqi said that he knew everything he thought, but he wanted to see who knew more.

Looking at the back of Shangguan Luo not far away, Shangguan Chen smiled and walked forward slowly.

"Sir Shangguan has been a bachelor for so many years, and he can be regarded as a celebrity in front of His Majesty."

"Yes, Mr. Shangguan has a virtuous wife, and shoulders the heavy responsibility of nurturing pillars for our Great Yuan Kingdom in the court. He is really a winner in life!"

"That's right." Shangguan Chen echoed with the crowd, and when they saw Shangguan Chen approaching, their expressions became very respectful, and they all saluted Shangguan Chen, "My lord."

Shangguan Chen smiled slightly at the crowd, who were startled at Shangguan Chen's light and seductive smile.

Everyone knows that Dayuan Country is rich in beautiful men.

Looking at the court of Dayuan Kingdom, the most convincing ones are the current prime minister Dongfang Yinqi and the auxiliary minister Shangguanchen.

Dongfang Yinqi represented a kind of rigid beauty, while Shangguan Chen represented a kind of gentle and light beauty. The two had their own strengths and were once sought after by men and women in the world.

It was rumored that Shangguan Chen was as gentle as a jade, and his smile was as sweet as a stalk, and these words were quite apt.

Shangguan Chen took a few more steps forward, the corners of his white robe swayed back and forth, making his jade-like face stand out more and more, everyone breathed hard, and the lively crowd became extraordinarily quiet.

Sensing the changes in the crowd, Shangguan Chen pretended not to notice the strangeness around him, and casually said: "Sir Shangguan is indeed the pillar of my court, and it is really a great blessing for my Great Yuan Nation to have Mr. Shangguan as a good minister."

After being praised so much by him, Shangguan Luo's face felt a little hot, and Zhou Zheng's face turned red.It's okay to be praised by others, but now the celebrity Shangguan Chen in front of His Majesty also said so, and in front of everyone, Shangguan Luo was a little flattered.

Shangguan Chen has always been on the side with His Majesty, now that he said this, could it be that His Majesty also thinks so in private?

Shangguan Luo coughed lightly and took it easy: "Thank you, Lord Shangguan, for your compliment. I'm doing my own job..."

"What are you talking about, a scholar? It is indeed a blessing that Dayuan Country has a virtuous minister like a scholar to help you." Dongfang Yinqi walked up to Shangguan Chen with a leisurely expression, his eyes fell on Shangguan Chen, but he said the right words As Shangguan Luo said.

When everyone saw Dongfang Yinqi, they all bent down and saluted: "Xiangguo." This respectful appearance was even more respectful than when they saw Shangguan Chen just now.

Shangguan Chen's heart sank, it was not because Dongfang Yinqi controlled the military power of Dayuan Kingdom.To help His Majesty stabilize the political power, the key step is to regain the military power.

Seeing Dongfang Yinqi, Shangguan Luo bowed to Dongfang Yinqi with an easy-going face, without extra deliberation or embellishment.Shangguan Chen curled his lips and finally heaved a sigh of relief, he really saw the right person.

Dongfang Yinqi walked up to Shangguanchen, and suddenly burst into an extremely cordial smile: "Last time it was raining and it was difficult to get out, thanks to Mr. Shangguan taking the initiative to send you." He took out a brocade box from his sleeve and handed it over, "Little Little sincerity, I hope Lord Shangguan will accept it with a smile."

Immediately, the hall was dead silent.

Everyone knows that Shangguan Chen and His Majesty have been fighting against the Prime Minister for many years.Now that Xiangguo is showing his favor to the assistant minister, could it be that Shangguanchen is going to abandon His Majesty?

Wanting to give away his "little sincerity" would be a big time later, Dongfang Yinqi not only gave it now, but also had to give it in front of everyone, anyone who said Dongfang Yinqi didn't do it on purpose would not believe it.

Things have come to this point, only to see the tricks.

Shangguan Chen slowly smiled. He reached out to take the brocade box and opened it. Inside was a brocade pouch woven with gold and red silk threads. The three big characters "Amulet" on it were very conspicuous.

Picking up the kit and looking up and down carefully, Shangguanchen smiled and nodded in satisfaction: "That's right, Xiangguo has a heart."

Dongfang Yinqi's eyes were bent, and his long and narrow phoenix eyes curved beautifully.

The front hall was still dead silent, everyone was thinking about the relationship between Shangguan Chen and Dongfang Yinqi.

Shangguan Chen followed suit with a smile, then he turned around with a smile, and handed the kit to Shangguan Luo's hands: "Such a good thing, I will give it to Mrs. Ling today, Mr. Shangguan, please don't refuse."

At this moment, ice slags formed around him.
