Chapter 203: The Enemies in the Capital Have a Fall in Love with Each Other 20
After that day, Su Ziyu clearly realized that his father seemed to be cultivating him. Not only did he often discuss court affairs with him, but he also allowed him to participate in discussions in the study.
However, Su Ziyu was lazy by nature, and he quit after only two days of doing the job.
At this time of winter, he just wanted to sleep in the warm bed until he woke up naturally. He didn't want to bother thinking about the complicated affairs of officialdom. Not only was it stressful, but it also caused a lot of hair loss.
He is still young and doesn't want to become bald too early.
However, just as he turned down his father's invitation, his mother pulled him into the palace again, saying that the Queen Mother was holding a plum blossom viewing banquet in the palace and had specifically asked him to go along.
Su Ziyu hugged the quilt tightly and stayed in bed, with no interest in attending the banquet at all.
Lu Zhu had plenty of experience in getting him out of bed, so she picked up a topic that interested him and said, "Sir, I heard that Miss Xin also received an invitation!"
Upon hearing that Xin He was leaving, Su Ziyu sat up immediately.
"Why didn't you tell me earlier!"
This is probably Xin He's first time entering the palace. What if she is bullied in the palace? As her brother, he must support her and never let others think that she is a soft persimmon that is easy to bully.
Lu Zhu showed a bit of innocence on her face, "My Lord, I mentioned this to you yesterday! Miss Xin even asked someone to ask about the things she should pay attention to when entering the palace to attend the banquet, and it was Aunt Sixi who was beside Madam who gave her the reply."
Su Zi wanted to think about it briefly, "When?"
"That was when you dozed off over the book on vegetable growing!" Lu Zhu replied quickly.
Su Ziyu was somewhat helpless: "...but he knows how to choose the right time."
He asked how he had no memory of it, because he was so tortured by the books that he felt drowsy, so how could he have the heart to listen to him!
-
Cining Palace.
Su's mother led Su Ziyu to pay respects. When the queen mother saw Su Ziyu, she immediately showed a kind smile, "Ziyu, you are here, come here quickly and let me see you. You haven't been to the palace for a long time. Is your arm healed?"
Su Ziyu stepped forward with a smile and deliberately moved his arms. "My Lord, it is thanks to the imperial physician sent by my uncle that my grandson was able to recover so quickly."
Su Zi wanted to be a pleasing person, and the Queen Mother also really liked him. The mother and son chatted with the Queen Mother about some family matters.
When the Queen Mother saw Su Ziyu looking out the door from time to time with an uneasy look on his face, she guessed that he wanted to see someone, so she smiled and waved her big hand, letting him go out to play.
This plum blossom viewing banquet is actually an ancient version of a blind date banquet. There is a small garden next to the Cining Palace, where red plum blossoms are in full bloom and are extraordinarily gorgeous.
Princes of noble families in gorgeous clothes and noble ladies in elegant attire were strolling in the crowd in groups of three or five. Su Ziyu had an outstanding appearance and was quite conspicuous in the crowd.
Many people noticed him, but since Su Ziyu's reputation as a playboy was well known to everyone, no woman would go up to him and talk to him. At most, they would just look at him and then sigh what a pity.
As for the man, the original owner's friends were all drinking and eating friends, and his status and position were not even among those invited. The people who came to the banquet were self-righteous and disdained to associate with a playboy like him.
Su Ziyu was also enjoying himself. He walked around the plum garden, looking for Xin He. However, he didn't find anyone and instead ran into another group of people unexpectedly.
"Hey, Pei Qingcheng, how are you?"
"Look at her delicate skin and tender flesh. She must have been blessed by men for a long time."
"It's a pity that Su Ziyu, that playboy, got the upper hand. Otherwise, we brothers would also like to have a taste of this number one gentleman in the world and see how he is different from the lowly people in the brothels."
...
All kinds of obscene words are unbearable to hear.
Pei Qingcheng stood in the center of the vortex, his eyes slightly lowered, facing the provocation of everyone, he remained as steady as a rock.
In fact, he had already expected to be harassed at the banquet today, but the actions of these people were far more despicable than he had expected.
If he hadn't been worried about going to war soon and wanted to teach them a lesson, he would have avoided any further trouble.
At this moment, a familiar voice suddenly came from behind him, like a flash of lightning in the dark night, breaking the silence in his heart, "Nangong Xi, you idiot, shut up!"
Su Ziyu came over quickly and protected Pei Qingcheng behind him, "If anyone dares to talk nonsense again, don't blame me for cutting his mouth!"
Pei Qingcheng looked at the person standing in front of him. It was obvious that this person had gone to the length of defiling himself a few days ago in order to distance himself from him in front of everyone.
But when he saw himself being bullied, he stood up without hesitation.
Pei Qingcheng's heart couldn't help but beat violently, his eyes were fixed on Su Ziyu's back. For a moment, he didn't know whether to say he was smart or stupid, and couldn't help but call out softly, "Prince Su."
Su Zi wanted to turn around, but took the opportunity to glare at him and quickly looked him over. After confirming that he was not injured, he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Shut up, you are a person who left my house. No matter what, you should not be bullied by this mob. You have lost my face in vain."
Among this group of people, Nangong Xi was the most distinguished. He relied on his father's position as prime minister to bully others.
The last time he lost to Su Ziyu in Youlan Tower, he already felt very aggrieved. Now with new and old grudges intertwined, he regarded Su Ziyu as a thorn in his side.
"Su Ziyu, don't think that I, Nangong Xi, am afraid of you!" Nangong Xi said with a furious look on his face.
Su Ziyu snorted coldly, not taking him seriously at all, "Nangong Xi, I advise you to be more obedient. This place is not far from the Queen Mother's Palace. If you dare to cause trouble, see if your Prime Minister father can protect you."
Nangong Xi was indeed afraid of his father, but he couldn't swallow this breath. He stared at the two people who were in collusion with each other in front of him, and left unwillingly, "You wait for me."
After they left, Su Ziyu only glanced at Pei Qingcheng and was about to leave without saying a word, but he was grabbed by the other party and asked, "Sir, don't you have anything to say?"
Young man, have you forgotten where this is? The imperial palace. The emperor's spies are everywhere.
Su Ziyu frowned and shook off his hand, "Pei Qingcheng, that's enough. You're taking advantage of me and still acting like a spoiled brat. There's no one in this world who is more calculating than you!"
"I..." Pei Qingcheng opened his mouth to explain, but then he noticed Su Ziyu winking at him. He changed the subject, his tone filled with hatred, "Prince Su's kindness, Pei will never forget it in this life!"
