Fortunate Young Gentleman

Chapter 216: Attending a Banquet

King Kang entertained guests at Tiantianju, and the gathering of Princess Anyang and the ladies of the capital was also held at Tiantianju. In the afternoon, Tangning and Xiaoyi went there together.

Tang Yaoyao had nothing to do, so she went to the bookstore to keep an eye on the printing progress. She was already a wealthy woman with a millionaire family, and she was still interested in making money. Based on Tang Ning's understanding of her, when would her wealth surpass that of her father? Maybe she would stop.

Xiao family.

Xiao Jue changed his clothes and walked out of the back hall. When he was about to go out, an old voice came from behind.

"where to?"

Xiao Jue turned around and saw the old man sitting on the chair in the hall, and said, "I went to Tiantianju and made an appointment with some friends to have dinner together."

The old man raised his head, looked at him, and asked, "Did Prince Kang make an appointment with you?"

Xiao Jue looked at him and explained: "Just a casual meal..."

"Every move you make represents the Xiao family. You say you just want to eat casually?" The old man said lightly: "Do others think you just eat casually?"

Xiao Jue opened his mouth, not knowing how to refute.

After a long time, the old man's voice came again: "Since you have agreed, then go ahead. When doing things in the future, use your brain to think more and think more about the Xiao family."

"I understand." Xiao Jue nodded and walked out of the room.

He stood in the courtyard and breathed a long sigh of relief, the expression on his face was indescribable.

The Xiao family was originally a descendant clan and was famous for a while. However, after the death of the queen and the premature death of the prince, the Xiao family became a declining aristocracy.

The Xiao family, which is not in power, is not the target of King Kang and King Duan. It is wise to take good care of the family and not take sides.

Taking a step forward means taking a stand. If by mistake, you stand in the wrong position, the Xiao family will no longer even be a fallen noble.

He paused for a moment, took a deep breath, and strode out of Xiao's house.

In Tianranju, Zhao Yun'er stood next to Zhong Yi, waved to Tang Ning, and said, "Young Master Tang, go and do your own work. If anyone finishes early, I will wait here."

The place arranged by Princess Anyang was at the waterside pavilion in the middle of the lake. Tang Ning asked them to pay attention to safety and walked towards a small building ahead.

He walked into the yard and saw a girl wearing a light yellow shirt, playing takraw ball in the yard. The takraw ball was under her feet, as if it was alive, and she was playing various tricks.

Tangning walked over and asked, "Xiao Tao, is your lady here?"

The girl was startled by him, her feet were unsteady, and the takraw ball fell to the ground.

She picked up the sepak takraw ball, glared at Tangning, and said, "My lady is sleeping. If you have anything else to do, wait until she wakes up!"

It was just afternoon, and it was still early before dark. However, Tang Ning knew that Su Mei did not rest regularly. It was very rare for her to fall asleep no matter when.

It was still a while before King Kang's banquet started. Since she was resting in her room, Tang Ning didn't bother her.

He glanced at the still angry maid and walked out of the courtyard.

A door in the courtyard suddenly opened, and a figure walked out and asked, "Xiao Tao, who are you talking to?"

Su Mei looked a little tired. She stayed up all night last night and only slept for a short time in the early morning. At this moment, she was a little tired. She was lying on the bed, in a state of sleep, when she heard voices coming from outside. Can't sleep anymore.

Xiao Tao glared at Tang Ning and said dissatisfied, "It's all your fault for waking up the lady!"

Su Mei looked at the door of the courtyard, she couldn't help but be startled, wiped her eyes in disbelief, and asked with unconcealable joy on her face, "Why are you here?"

"I come……"

As soon as Tangning opened his mouth, she walked over quickly, grabbed his arm, and said, "Come in!"

Snapped!

The door was slammed shut, and the maid named Xiao Tao trembled, her mouth opened wide, and the takraw ball in her hand fell to the ground.

Tang Ning knew that this was Su Mei's residence, but this was the first time she entered her room.

Tang Ning had been in many girls' boudoirs, including Xiao Ru's, Xiao Yi's, Qing'er's, and Tang Yaoyao's. This was the first time she had seen one as messy as Su Mei.

Countless papers were piled up scatteredly on the desk, and many even fell to the ground. The bed was even more messy, and the quilt was not folded. Tangning immediately saw the pink bellyband worn by Jiao... All kinds of evidence proved that Xiao Tao was a lazy maid. , far worse than Qinger.

Wait a minute------She was sleeping just now. She didn't know how she slept. In her own room, she wouldn't sleep without clothes like she did a few nights ago. It was very possible to take off her bellyband, so She is now...

Once this thought arose, he could no longer suppress it. He pinched his thigh hard and looked away.

Su Mei looked at him and asked doubtfully: "Why don't you look at me?"

Tangning looked out the window, took out a sachet from her arms, and said, "I put some soothing herbs in it. You can try it and see if it works."

Su Mei sighed and said, "I have tried many medicinal herbs to soothe the nerves, but they are of no use."

Tangning put away the sachet and said, "Forget it."

Su Mei grabbed the sachet from his hand and said, "How can you take back something that was given to others?"

"You can rest, I'm going out." Tangning turned towards the door and walked out.

"Stop!" Su Mei pulled him to sit down beside him, wrapped herself tightly in the quilt, and said, "Just sit here, no soothing medicine will be useful to you."

She wrapped herself in the quilt, and Tang Ning finally dared to look down at him.

Su Mei lay on the bed, put the sachet in her mouth, looked up at him, and suddenly said: "From this direction, it seems that your face is really big."

Tang Ning looked at the files and papers piled on the table beside him and said: "People have limited energy. You over-consume your energy every day, so your sleep is naturally not good."

"Life is in the world, and you can't help it..." Su Mei sighed and changed the subject: "What are you doing here?"

"King Kang invited me to a banquet."

"I thought you came to see me, so sad..."

"I can't sleep here, why don't you go to Hongxiu Pavilion to sleep?"

"If you leave, Hongxiu Pavilion won't sleep either..."

...

"Why do you have such a strange insomnia?" Tang Ning thought for a while, muttered to himself, but didn't get any response.

He lowered his head and saw that Su Mei's eyes were closed, her expression was calm, and her usual charm from the inside out had disappeared, replaced by a kind of girlish purity.

Tang Ning slowly got up and walked out the door lightly.

I originally wanted her to look after Xiaoyi, but I don't know how long she will sleep. Thinking carefully, nothing serious will happen at a gathering of girls, so let her have a good rest.

Xiaotao saw that he was the only one out, and asked vigilantly: "Where is our young lady? What did you do to our young lady?"

"Shh..." Tang Ning raised a finger and said, "She is asleep, please keep your voice down."

Xiaotao looked at him suspiciously, and carefully pushed the door and walked into the room. Seeing the young lady sleeping on the bed, her little face showed disbelief, and she quietly retreated. There was no one in the yard.

"Where have you been?" Tang Ning walked out of Su Mei's residence, and suddenly heard a familiar voice.

Xiao Jue came from behind, looked at the courtyard, and said in surprise: "Isn't this Miss Su's residence? You don't even miss this little time?"

Tang Ning looked at him and asked: "Why are you here? Didn't you say you couldn't come?"

Xiao Jue looked at him and said: "I believe in your vision."

...

Tianranju, main building, Tianzi No. 1 Yage.

A young man looked at King Kang and asked in confusion: "Are you still waiting for someone?"

King Kang smiled and said: "Don't worry, there are still two distinguished guests who haven't come yet."

The man was confused, wondering who the two distinguished guests King Kang mentioned were, and why he made King Kang wait here, and King Kang didn't seem to care about it at all.

While he was puzzled, the door of the Yage was pushed open, and King Kang looked at the two people who came in and smiled: "You two are finally here..."
