Chapter 137: Come In Quickly
The weather on King Xian's birthday was exceptionally clear, with a rare winter sun hanging in the sky.
But Xiao Ruxue doesn't like such a sunny weather, because if the sun comes out, all the snow sculptures he piled up in the small courtyard of the bookstore will all start to melt...
Xu Qing also doesn't like to see sunny days at this time, because once the snow starts to melt, it will carry away a lot of heat from the surroundings, causing the temperature to drop sharply.
That's why snow doesn't cool and snow turns cold.
The birthday banquet at Prince Xian's Mansion was scheduled for the evening, but the county magistrate Su went out in the afternoon. It should be that the officials of Yongzhou City had their own arrangements, like Xu Qing and Su Qian who had no official status and no one to organize Just step on it.
When it was almost evening, Su Qian looked at Xu Qing and said, "Shall we go too?"
Just as Su Qian walked to the door, Xu Qing stopped her and said, "It's cold outside, lady, please add another dress, don't catch the wind and cold."
Su Qian's heart warmed when she heard Xu Qing's words, she nodded and said, "Listen to your husband."
...
Xianwang Mansion
Since it was the prince's birthday today, lanterns were hung everywhere, and the entrance of the mansion was decorated with lights and festoons.
A steward of the palace stood at the door and ordered the servants of the palace: "I tell you, I will only recognize the invitation but not the person. Today is the prince's birthday. It is a big deal. If there is a slight mistake, be careful of your heads!"
All the servants nodded one after another: "Please rest assured, my lord!"
The steward of the palace nodded and said, "Be smart! Go do something!"
...
When Xu Qing and Su Qian arrived at the gate of the palace in a carriage, people had already entered in one after another, and it seemed that there were quite a few people who came stepping on their feet like them.
Xu Qing and Su Qian got out of the carriage, Xu Qing took the invitation again and held it in her hand, looked at Su Qian and said, "Let's go in too."
Just as Xu Qing and Su Qian got out of the carriage and walked towards the gate of Prince Xian's Mansion, their arms were touched suddenly, and the invitation card in their hands fell to the ground.
Xu Qing frowned, and when he wanted to pick up the invitation, unexpectedly, the person who pretended to be him picked up the invitation first, but he didn't hand it back.
When Xu Qing raised his head, he saw Xu Shen looking at Xu Qing jokingly. He was holding the invitation card from Xu Qing and Su Qian in his hand, and he didn't intend to return it at all.
Xu Qing looked at Xu Shen and said, "Return the invitation to me."
Xu Shen smiled and said: "Give it back to you? What if I don't pay you back? You humiliated me so much at the Qixi Festival last time, and you still want to ask for an invitation from me today? A mere policeman is also worthy of participating A night banquet in the palace? Could it be that you stole this invitation?"
Xu Qing couldn't help clenching her fists tightly, as if she was ready to strike at any moment.
Seeing Xu Qing's appearance, Xu Shen immediately retreated and said, "What do you want to do? I warn you, this is the palace of the virtuous king. Do you dare to do something here?"
Su Qian on the side also took Xu Qing's hand and said, "Husband, don't be impulsive."
Just like what Xu Shen said, this is the palace of the virtuous king. If we start a fight here, we probably won't have to wait for the Xu family to deal with the Su family. How can the palace tolerate this kind of chaos?
Feeling the cold and greasy touch from her left hand, Xu Qing couldn't help dissipating the anger in her heart, and slowly released her clenched right hand, but she still looked at Xu Shen and said coldly, "Return the invitation to me."
Seeing Su Qian holding Xu Qing's left hand, Xu Shen couldn't help feeling even more jealous. He really couldn't figure out why a beautiful woman like Su Qian would be willing to commit herself to a small policeman rather than marry him.
Xu Shen snorted coldly and said, "Where did you get the invitation from a mere policeman? Could it be that it was stolen? So what if I don't return it to you."
As he said that, Xu Shen waved the invitation card in front of Xu Qing as if provocative.
Then, Xu Shen put on a smiling face again, looked at Su Qian and said, "Miss Su, why don't you go with me, how about I bring you into this palace to attend the banquet? It is a great honor to be able to attend the banquet in the palace of Xianwang. Miss Su better not miss it."
Su Qian also said with a frosty face: "Now that I have married my husband, you should call me Mrs. Xu instead of Miss Su. If I want to go to the banquet, my husband will take me in, so don't worry about it."
When Xu Shen heard Su Qian's answer, the smile on his face also disappeared without a trace, and he said, "Okay, then I want to see how Mrs. Xu's fast husband is able to take Mrs. Xu there. attend banquet."
Just as Xu Shen was speaking, Xu Qing suddenly stretched out her hand to snatch the invitation. Xu Shen was also startled. The invitation was also unfolded in an instant, and the two held one end each, but unexpectedly the invitation was too fragile, and the two men tore it hard, and it split into two halves.
Because of Xu Qing's strength, Xu Shen was staggered, but fortunately he was able to stabilize his figure because the invitation was disconnected.
Xu Shen stood still a little, looked at the invitation in his hand and said with a smile: "Yo, little catcher, is it really a fake invitation? So not strong? Mrs. Xu, didn't you say that you have to wait for your husband to bring you the invitation?" Are you going to the banquet? That young master is waiting for you inside."
After speaking, he laughed and left, but when he arrived at the gate of the palace, he bowed and offered a gift, and handed over a little silver to the servant who checked the invitation.
Outside the palace gate, if Su Qian hadn't been holding Xu Qing's left hand all the time, Xu Qing really wanted to clean up Xu Shen immediately.
Su Qian looked at Xu Qing, and said in a soft voice as much as possible: "Husband, I don't like excitement at all, why don't we go home, I still want to eat the sweet and sour short ribs made by my husband."
Su Qian has also read a lot of scripts, so she naturally knows that men love to face, especially in front of women.
If she hadn't pulled Xu Qing, Xu Qing might really have done some impulsive things because of Face. Now it is at the gate of the palace, and there is absolutely no conflict. To the benefit.
Xu Qing was impulsive and she couldn't be impulsive anymore, she had to pull Xu Qing a little bit.
It was the first time for Xu Qing to hear Su Qian talking to him in such a gentle manner, which made Xu Qing a little disliked. At this moment, she was angry, and she had to feed those who wanted to eat sweet and sour short ribs first. Let's talk again, lady.
As for the Xu family? Within a month, his Xu family can stay safely in Yongzhou City, Xu Qing has his surname!
Originally, Xu Qing wanted to spend his time cultivating a relationship with his wife, but the Xu family's affairs were put on hold later. Now it seems that he might have to settle the matter in advance. He has never been a good-tempered person!
Just when Xu Qing was about to go back, a man in charge walked over from the side, and was shocked when he saw Xu Qing's face.
This grandpa is here too? Why are you standing here and not walking towards the gate?
He remembers it clearly. He has a lot of friendship with the prince and the princess. The last one who offended this master has gone from Lord Xian to King Yama to work, but he must not be neglected. up!
So, the steward of the palace quickly ran to Xu Qing, nodded and bowed his head, and said, "Young Master Xu, you are here too, please come in quickly, please come in quickly!"
