With a delicate smile, the rough guy bows down for the beauty

Chapter 219
After receiving the birthday gift, the hall fell silent for a while.

The Su family didn't want to talk, Su Zhiyi didn't know what to say, the atmosphere was inevitably a bit cold.

In such a situation, King Jin couldn't have been unaware of it, and at this moment, he silently looked at Su Zhiyi beside him, and then quickly swept his eyes across the crowd.

It stands to reason that he, the prince and son-in-law, would accompany the daughter back to the mansion. This is an honorable event, but although everyone present was well-mannered and entertained meticulously, there was no obvious joy, which was not right.

Combined with the little bits of news that he had heard before, the King of Jin was basically sure that Su Zhiyi and the Su family must have had a estrangement because of something, and they are not close now.

Judging from the fact that the Su family did not treat him warmly, Su Yi was always neutral and unbiased in government affairs, so it is estimated that the Su family probably did not want to participate in the matter of seizing the heir.

However, this matter was decided by Su Yi after asking in front of Emperor Jianning. Isn't this inconsistent?

Unless, in order to marry him, Su Zhiyi forced her father to ask for the marriage for her despite her family's opposition, then it would make more sense.

Thinking of this in his heart, King Jin's eyes darkened a little.

But these are just speculations. Now that today has come, the things that should be done still have to be done.

So he suppressed his thoughts for a while, and then took the initiative to speak again.

"Tomorrow the army is about to set off. Lord Shen will arrive at the western border one step ahead of me. Speaking of which, I will be brother-in-law with you in the future. To go to the western border, I have to rely on General Shen."

"Your Highness has been flattered, how dare you, the lower officials, when you came to Beijing from Yanzhou, the lower officials have also seen the demeanor of leading the army, my father and the lower officials are just reckless, how can they compare with the wise and brave Wang Ye, I just hope not to hold back Just do it."

Shen Qianwei cupped her hands, although her words were respectful, she didn't seem to want to get close.

King Jin saw it, just smiled on his face, and praised him again.

"The Shen family is full of loyalty, and they are important ministers of Beidi. This king respects them very much."

"Thank you, my lord, for your compliment."

Shen Qianwei is still neither humble nor overbearing.

During the time they exchanged these two sentences, Su Zhiyi took a sip of tea, calmed down, and finally tried to help King Jin accomplish something.

"It's still a while before lunch time. I have something to say to my mother and two younger sisters. I don't know my lord."

"It's okay, you go ahead, it's rare to have the opportunity to go out of the mansion." King Jin nodded, "It just so happens that this king also has something to say to his father-in-law."

As the two sang together, Su Yi and Cui Shi looked at each other at the same time.

What King Jin said was nothing, the problem was Su Zhiyi.

Everyone in the house doesn't know that Su Zhiyi is not close to Cui's stepmother, and Su Junning's half-sister, so why is he still talking about it right now.

Minghuanghuang wanted to dismiss the female relatives so that King Jin, Su Yi and others could have a chance to talk alone.

What the female relatives can't listen to is naturally the government affairs. If you think about it with your toes, what King Jin wants to say must be about seizing the heir.

For a moment, a trace of heaviness flashed across Su Yi's face.

However, he still gave his wife Cui a look that told her to go at ease.

After the couple exchanged glances, Cui stood up with a smile and put on a motherly look.

"It's so good. The minister's wife has just made some scented tea by herself recently. The side concubine can also try it."

"Mother's workmanship has always been excellent."

Su Zhiyi stood up, and slightly curled the corners of her lips.

Seeing the two of them like this, Su Junning narrowed her eyes, probably because her parents were getting angry with each other, so she didn't say anything, and left the front hall with Su Wanyin.

And what followed, the half hour before lunch, was simply sitting on pins and needles.

Su Zhiyi didn't have anything to say to her natal family, but she had to hold her back so as not to disturb the front, so she had nothing to say.

It's hard to talk about family affairs, so let's talk about the second bedroom.

Su Wanyin was the only one who was treated as the center of the topic, and they chatted around her for half an hour.

And it was not going well here for King Jin.

Although I don't know what they said, but when it was lunch time, when everyone went to the front hall to eat together, they found that the atmosphere in front of them didn't seem to be very harmonious.

So it was a good lunch, because of the presence of King Jin and Su Zhiyi, it became tasteless.

Probably because he also felt uncomfortable, after the lunch was over, King Jin immediately pulled Su Zhiyi away.

There was no anger on his face, but he wasn't in a good mood either.

After the two left, Su Junning thought her father would say something, but Su Yi went back to the study without saying a word.

At this time, Shen Qianwei, the foreigner, was still there.

Cui also had no intention of entertaining, so she hurriedly followed her husband's footsteps after a few words of advice from Su Junning.

The two of them, the young fiances, were together, and the others naturally wouldn't stand by as light bulbs, so they all made excuses to leave.

After a while, there were only two people left in the huge front hall.

At this time, Su Junning seemed to have been knocked out of the bone, propped her chin with one hand, and leaned on the table.

"A good birthday banquet, which spoiled the fun for both of them."

"It's also unexpected, let's have a good time next year." Shen Qianwei comforted her in a low voice, paused and said, "I'm going to go to war tomorrow morning, and I still have a lot of things to arrange with my father this afternoon , I'm afraid I won't be able to accompany you this afternoon."

For such an important matter as the army going on an expedition, there are naturally a lot of things to think about.

Su Junning sat up straight and nodded.

"I know, this is a major national matter, you go and take care of yours, I am a little girl, I don't have a big heart, I just hope that you can come back safely."

As he spoke, he took out a small porcelain bottle from his pocket and stuffed it into his hand.

"You take this."

"What?" Shen Qianwei was puzzled.

Su Junning said, "My mother secretly gave it to me just now. She said that it was a student taught by the ancestors of the Cui family. He was an extremely personable minister and was rewarded by the sage. The ancestor of the Cui family was seriously ill and his life was hanging by a thread. This The student sent three pills, I used it as a present, and there is one pill in Cui’s house, this one was given to my mother by my grandfather as a dowry.”

Upon hearing the reason, Shen Qianwei immediately refused.

"This medicine is too expensive, I can't take it, you take it back quickly."

"No matter how expensive the medicine is, it is only valuable because it can save people's lives." Su Junning gave him the medicine firmly, "I hope you don't need this medicine, but if you don't have this medicine with you when you need it, I will definitely regret it lifelong."

Looking at the bright eyes of the girl in front of him, Shen Qianwei pursed her lips, tightened her hands, and pinched the medicine bottle in her palm.

He was about to say something, but Su Junning stopped him first.

"Okay, I know you have something to be busy with. Since you have spent my birthday with me, you can let go and go about your own business. I will send you off when you go out tomorrow."

Having said so much, Shen Qianwei took a deep breath and nodded heavily.

"There is a beginning and an end. Since you sent me off, remember to welcome my class teacher back to court."

"it is good."

Su Junning raised her eyebrows and smiled slightly.

　When will everyone take their annual leave? Let me tell you first, the 29th of the twelfth lunar month
　　I do not cry.
