Chapter 21 Banquet
The next day, Li Hanyue thoughtfully combed Xie Lin's long hair and tidied up her clothes.

"Yue'er, there are a lot of guests invited today, and most of them are the relatives of ministers who can talk in the court, so I might wrong you, so just stay in your own yard!" Xie Lin stared at Li Hanyue's face from the bronze mirror. His gaze was full of pity and guilt.

Li Hanyue's expression was slightly stagnant, but his hands kept moving.

Xie Lin thought she was angry, and comforted her: "Dijing is no better than Nanling, it is the most respectful of rules! I didn't want you to be wronged with me, how would it be better to stay in Nanling? How about this, you go out for a stroll today? Want to buy something? Buy whatever you want, and eat dinner outside, out of sight, okay?"

Li Hanyue helped Xie Lin tie her hair with a golden crown, and after taking care of everything, she said, "Lin Lang, the princess is sick, if I'm not in the mansion, can you really do it alone?"

"It was fine last night!" Xie Lin suddenly got up, his expression changed a few times, he suddenly remembered something, looked at Li Hanyue in surprise, then opened the door, and strode out.

The door of the side room was locked, and Xie Shu kept knocking on the door outside: "Mother, are you better? Mother!"

Dingdong frowned and comforted him: "Xiao Shizi, the princess is ill, so we won't bother her anymore. May I take you outside to play?"

Xie Shu nodded thoughtfully, and when he turned around, he saw Xie Lin rushing all the way, slamming on the door.

"Jiang Nan! Jiang Nan! Don't pretend to be dead, get up quickly! You are deliberately trying to get along with me, aren't you?!"

No one responded.

"Father! Don't disturb Mother to rest!" Xie Shu tugged at Xie Lin's sleeve, Xie Lin brushed it away, and Xie Shu fell to the ground with teary eyes, trying not to cry out.

Xie Lin didn't care about Xie Shu at all, walked a few steps to the side, opened the window, took a quick glance, and he stayed where he was.

This was not the first time he saw Jiang Nan after being tortured by drugs. After a long time, he closed the window silently, with a trace of uncontrollable anger flashing across his eyes.

"Lin Lang..."

Hearing Li Hanyue's shout, the fire in Xie Lin's heart burned even more vigorously. He turned around and raised his hand high. He wanted to slap her, but he couldn't do it when he met her tearful eyes.

"How dare you? What did you not follow in the past? You don't even look at what day it is today. You really don't know what's important!" Xie Lin scolded angrily.

In the imperial capital, a man who leaves his wife alone and lets his concubine be the master of the house is not much different from a man who has no clothes on and swaggers through the market.

Seriously, the emperor regarded it as a failure model, reprimanded it in public, and abandoned it ever since.

Li Hanyue grew up in Nanling, but she just didn't know the rules!

"Lin Lang, which of the big and small things in the mansion is not me? She has the title of the princess of the county, and she doesn't know anything! Just like when she was in Nanling, it's good to say that the princess of the county is sick!" Li Hanyue Really frightened, his voice trembled slightly.

"This is the Imperial Capital! The Jiang family is here, how do you explain it? Where do you want me to put my face?" Xie Lin was still angry, and helplessly raised his hand to his forehead.

If this caused trouble, without the support of the powerful officials in the imperial capital, it would be wishful thinking to want the military power of the Nantai Military Mansion.

"Your face is important, but I'm not!" Li Hanyue burst into tears, shrinking her neck, and choked up, "It doesn't matter what others think of me, I don't know that I am so unbearable in your heart, if it is not because of loving you , Am I willing to be a concubine? I'll go back to Nanling now, so that I won't hinder the eyes of you and your wife!"

"Yue'er!" Xie Lin grabbed Li Hanyue, wiped away her tears, and said softly, "Don't you know how I treat you? Why are you so angry at me?"

"That's all!" Xie Lin bit the bullet, pulled Li Hanyue away, and gave an order, "Come here! The princess of the county is suffering from a serious illness, so show me the courtyard, and no one is allowed to enter!"

Nanling County Prince's Mansion hosted a grand banquet for the prince, because Xie Shu was the child whose Highness the Crown Prince would rather lose face than fall to his death, and he was also a newly promoted celebrity in front of the Empress Empress. extraordinary.

Everyone wanted to see what was so special about this airborne young man.

Waterside pavilions, front halls and back halls, there are people everywhere, and the servants are so busy.

Fortunately, the huge Jiang family only sent Jiang Huai, Xie Lin invited the father-in-law into the study of the main courtyard, and took out the calligraphy and paintings at the bottom of the box.

Jiang Huai caught his eye, and couldn't put it down.

"If father-in-law likes it, just take it away!"

"How can this be done? How can I win someone's love?" Jiang Huai smiled and waved his hands.

"You betrothed your beloved daughter to me. I am extremely grateful. These were collected for my father-in-law!" Xie Lin smiled and complimented, seeing Jiang Huai's satisfied expression, he sighed.

He changed the subject: "Unfortunately, Nan'er was not acclimatized, fell ill, and really couldn't get up. I didn't want her to work hard, so I let her rest!"

Jiang Huai smiled slightly, silently put away the calligraphy and painting, put them in a box, and said in a low voice: "How can a person not get sick if he eats five grains? Since she is sick, she just needs to have a good rest! Then I would be more respectful than obedient." , I hope your grandfather likes it, he is happy to see it!"

The two looked at each other and laughed, Xie Lin felt relieved.

"If I can please my grandfather, my silver is not worth it!"

"Is that all? Are there any other...precious items?"

"..." Xie Lin was stunned. I really didn't expect that the Jiang family would be so easy to deal with.

All the guests were present, but the mistress Jiang Nan was not seen for a long time, and only a concubine was in charge of the overall situation.

No matter how decently Li Hanyue smiled, the wives of the aristocratic family in the imperial capital were unwilling to lower their status and deal with concubines. Although they were unhappy in their hearts, it was inconvenient to show it. It's not easy for people to force themselves to come out and laugh with them, right?

Mrs. Wei Jun's face was cold all the time, and she spat secretly: "Little bitch, you think you are a bird with a chicken feather?"

Mrs. Wei Jungong really became more and more angry, she couldn't stand it anymore, she simply broke into the backyard alone, and asked Jiang Nan to scold this bitch.

"Madam Wei, the princess of the county has suffered from the wind and cold, and she really can't get up. I'm afraid that the sickness will spread and it will be inconvenient to see guests!" Li Hanyue hurriedly chased after him and stopped him.

"I'm in good health, so I'm not afraid of getting sick!" Mrs. Wei Jungong pushed Li Hanyue away aggressively.

"The prince of the county has an order that no one is allowed to enter the backyard. Mrs. Wei is a guest. She welcomes guests as she pleases. It is impolite to force her way into the backyard without an invitation!" The county's husband's road.

"So you still know etiquette, righteousness and shame? A concubine is a slave! You are so brave, you deserve to yell at me? I came today to look at the face of the princess of the county, how dare you stop me?"

"Is there any reason? Your county prince's mansion is a joke! Tomorrow, I insist on letting you, Xie Lin, my county minister! I'm so pissed off!"

Mrs. Wei Jungong's lungs were about to explode, but those women were strong and strong, and stopped her. There was no possibility of entering the backyard, so they could only yell with their hands on their hips.
