Chapter 26 Attending the Wedding Banquet
Li Xiaoyao returned to the Royal Villa and had just gotten off the carriage. A guard at the door greeted him and saluted, "Prince, the people from the Prince's Mansion just now have sent you an invitation."
“Invitation?”
Li Xiaoyao frowned slightly, took the invitation from the guards, and took a look. It turned out to be the invitation for the prince's wedding.
Then he walked into the Royal Villa, came to the living room, sat on the main seat, handed the invitation to Lin Xiao, and asked, "What do you think?"
Lin Xiao took the invitation, opened it and looked at it, and said, "Prince, the prince sent someone to assassinate you again and again. How could he send someone to send you an invitation? Could it be..."
"Impossible." Li Xiaoyao raised his hand to interrupt Lin Xiao's words and said, "It is impossible for him to attack me blatantly."
"Prince, if the prince doesn't want to take the opportunity to attack you, then what is the purpose of his invitation to attend the wedding?" Lin Xiao said.
"Ha... this is also my doubt." Li Xiaoyao chuckled and said, "Prepare the carriage, I want to see what kind of flowers the prince can play with."
"Prince? Let's go like this?" Lin Xiao frowned and said, "Do you want me to prepare some congratulations?"
"Hmph!" Li Xiaoyao snorted coldly and said arrogantly: "Just go like this, a person who wants to kill me, can I still give him a gift?"
"No!" Lin Xiao nodded with a smile. The prince is the prince, and his style of conduct is indeed different from ordinary people.
Li Xiaoyao stood up and his face became cold. If the prince married Qin Xiaotong and sent him an invitation to anger, he would understand.
But the prince married Qin Wanshu, a woman who couldn't fight with him, so why did the prince send an invitation?
Could it be that he really dared to kill me in the capital?
Li Xiaoyao smiled disdainfully and stepped out of the living room with a domineering attitude.
Outside the Prince's Mansion, there were lights and colorful decorations, and gongs and drums were loud. A large number of passers-by surrounded the mansion, and there was a joyful atmosphere.
"Wei Shifang, Minister of Justice, and Lord Wei, gave a bottle of Jade Guanyin."
"Minister of the Ministry of Revenue Chen Guoliang and Lord Chen gave a pair of pure gold Pixiu."
"Mr. Lin Shicang, Minister of Rites, and Lord Lin, gave him a thousand-year-old ginseng and a bottle of the golden jade Buddha."
After the servant at the door reported the gift list, the butler beside him greeted him with a smile: "Several adults, please come inside."
"Mr. Wei."
"Mr. Chen."
"Mr. Lin."
The three of them smiled and bowed to each other, then walked into the prince's mansion together.
In the mansion, Chen Guoliang and Wei Shifang looked at the handsome young man beside Lin Shicang at the same time and asked curiously: "Mr. Lin, who is this?"
Lin Shicang showed embarrassment and secretly glared at Lin Zhiqing. Lin Zhiqing didn't give him a good look, and gave him a stubborn look.
Lin Shicang was a little embarrassed and said with a smile: "This is a distant relative of me. Today is the wedding of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, so I took him out to see the world, which made me more knowledgeable."
"Hello, sirs!" Lin Zhiqing smiled and bowed to Chen Guoliang and Wei Shifang in a gentle manner.
"Okay, okay!" The two smiled and nodded, and then Chen Guoliang smiled and said, "This young man looks really handsome. I wonder if he is interested in entering the court to become an official?"
"I..." Lin Zhiqing was about to speak, but Lin Shicang hurriedly interrupted her and said to Chen Guoliang with a smile: "Mr. Chen? Have you ever had an old problem again?"
"Hahaha..." The three of them knew it well and smiled at each other.
Because Chen Guoliang, the Minister of Personnel, asked everyone if he wanted to join the court or become an official, it was already a topic of conversation for the ministers in the court after dinner.
Seeing three first-rank officials from the court entering the mansion, the prince who was busy greeting the guests came up and greeted him: "Hello, three sirs!"
"Your Highness, Prince." Several people saluted.
Then, the prince led several people out of the hall.
Lin Zhiqing secretly pulled Lin Shicang's sleeve and whispered: "Dad, Xiao Cui and I have something to do, we will go to find you later."
Lin Shicang frowned and looked at the prince in front of him. He thought it would be inconvenient for Zhiqing to follow him, so he whispered: "Don't cause trouble."
"Thank you, father!" Lin Zhiqing almost jumped up excitedly, and then pulled Xiao Cui to the gate of the Prince's Mansion.
"Prince Xiaoyao of Xuancheng, I'll give you one or two taels of silver." The servant looked at the gift list and thought he had read it wrong, so he hurriedly looked at the gift list carefully and confirmed that it was not wrong.
He looked at Li Xiaoyao in a blue brocade robe and a jade crown.
"What? Do you think it's too little?" Li Xiaoyao said disdainfully. Then he smiled contemptuously, and in full view of everyone, he stepped into the prince's mansion openly.
The servant shook his head, and the butler did not dare to come forward to stop him. There was a stir among the crowd outside the mansion.
"This Li Xiaoyao is really hard to see through." Nangong Yue in the crowd looked at Li Xiaoyao's back from a distance and frowned slightly.
"General Nangong, why do my subordinates feel that Prince Xiaoyao didn't come to congratulate the prince, but seemed to be deliberately making trouble?" said the scar man next to him.
"Li Xiaoyao?" The prince looked at the door from a distance, frowned, turned his head and asked the servant beside him in a low voice: "Go and check, I'm getting married, who invited Li Xiaoyao?"
"Miss, that person is Prince Xiaoyao." Xiao Cui murmured quietly beside Lin Zhiqing.
Lin Zhiqing's eyes were attracted by Li Xiaoyao's eyes when he stepped into the prince's mansion.
She looked at Li Xiaoyao, who was handsome and a little unruly, and was stunned for a moment.
"Borrow it!" Li Xiaoyao stared at the boy in front of him with jealousy and said impatiently.
The young man's facial features are delicate and small, and his crescent-shaped eyes are beautiful and charming. At first glance, he looks like a 2D girl, handsome and unreal, but he also has a kind of beauty that is fascinating to the whole country.
When Li Xiaoyao saw him, he actually thought of Nangong Yue. Could it be that he was also dressed as a man?
Xiao Cui looked at Li Xiaoyao, timidly pulled Lin Zhiqing, and whispered: "Young Master, you have blocked Prince Xiaoyao's way."
"Ah?" Lin Zhiqing came to her senses and nodded shyly and said, "Yes... I'm sorry!"
Seeing that he was still blocking in front of him, Li Xiaoyao was looking at him not far away, and impatiently pulled the young man in front of him to the side and walked towards the prince with a swagger.
"He, how could he do this?" Lin Zhiqing pointed at Li Xiaoyao angrily and said.
"Miss, handsome guys are a little arrogant, not to mention that a handsome man like Prince Xiaoyao is naturally arrogant, so don't be angry." Xiao Cui comforted him.
"Hmph!" Lin Zhiqing muttered, looking at Li Xiaoyao and muttered softly: "After getting married, let's see how I will deal with you."
Xiao Cui chuckled and whispered: "Miss, are you in a hurry to get married?"
"Xiao Cui, you..." Lin Zhiqing was so angry that she was so angry that she had not followed her for ten years. She would have thought that Xiao Cui was the undercover agent sent by Li Xiaoyao to her! She helped him speak, but she didn't know whose maid she was.
