After a while, there was a message from the eunuch outside, and the empress dowager and the eldest princess appeared leading Princess Jiamin.

The remaining seats were quickly filled. His Majesty sat with the Queen Mother, and at hand were the Queen and Concubine De.

The princes below were all present. King Yi and King Qin showed no signs of dealing with them, even in front of His Majesty, they did not restrain themselves at all.

On the contrary, King Xiao looked friendly and greeted several younger brothers from time to time, but it was obvious that no one wanted to pay attention to him.

Especially Gong Yu, who only chatted with Liu Xunhuan next to him and completely ignored King Xiao. King Xiao's face turned dark and he still didn't say anything.

All these prestigious people gathered at the eldest princess's birthday banquet today. Ye Lan glanced at them briefly and then lowered his gaze.

She remembered that her father was imprisoned for treason. She was already married to Shen Yan at the time, but luckily she escaped from prison. She begged all over the capital at that time, hoping to get a chance for her father to survive.

However, the aristocratic families who had accepted his love at night either closed their doors or simply refused.This conspiracy case was jointly tried by King Yi and King Qin. When Yelan was desperate, she could only kneel in front of their mansion and beg them to be lenient and to clear her father's innocence.

But how could the Emerging Faction and the Aristocratic Faction let go of the Ye Family who were the vanguard of neutrality? They just wanted to carve up the Ye Family immediately.

If Xiao Wang Shen Yan is the murderer of the Ye family, then they are the accomplices.

She knew that if something happened at the border, she would have to face not only the Xiaowang faction, but two factions occupying the court and eyeing her with eager eyes.

When the time comes, as long as King Xiao gives him an introduction, the two factions will be like jackals, tigers and leopards eager to eat the Ye family's meat.

She couldn't relax at all times and had to tense up.

In the late night, when I was thinking about the next thing, the birthday banquet had already begun. The maids served the dishes in an orderly manner, and His Majesty said a few words of congratulations to the eldest princess on her birthday, and then a series of congratulatory gifts were delivered.

Of course, every aristocratic family would send congratulatory gifts, not only to please the eldest princess, but actually because they were interested in Princess Jiamin's marriage.

To put it bluntly, this birthday banquet was a blind date banquet. His Majesty and several princes did not want to interfere, so they left after sending congratulatory gifts.

Gong Yu didn't leave, but sat there drinking.The Queen and Concubine De Gui kept their eyes on him and Liu Xunhuan beside him.

They knew that Princess Jiamin had grown up with them since childhood, so Gong Yu was certainly not a candidate, but Liu Xunhuan was different.

The Queen and Concubine De Gui belong to two factions, and this marriage is also a matter of competition between them. Rather than letting the other party get the eldest princess as a backer, they both feel that it is better to let Liu Xunhuan, a neutral person, marry Princess Jiamin.

However, Princess Jiamin obviously hated Liu Xunhuan very much and did not even look at him. The eldest princess also noticed someone else, the figure in white sitting on the left side of the men's seat.

The empress dowager caught sight of the eldest princess and said regretfully: "That is the eldest son of Duke Ningyang, but he has already set a wedding date with the eldest daughter of the Ye family not long ago, otherwise he would be worthy enough to marry Jiamin."

Princess Jiamin, who she was attacking, curled her lips in disapproval, "You have all the talent and knowledge, occupying the position of a military noble but not serving the motherland. What kind of young talent is that? I don't like it."

The eldest princess frowned and scolded in a low voice: "Jiamin!"

Princess Jiamin shrugged and stopped talking.

Shen Yan, who was sitting at the bottom, couldn't hear their conversation, but Gong Yu and Liu Xunhuan heard it clearly.

"What a pity. If Jiamin fell in love with Shen Yan, you would be able to win the beauty back." Liu Xunhuan sighed sincerely, feeling sorry for Gong Yu.

"All these fine wines and delicacies can't stop you, how about I help you?" Gong Yu put down the wine glass in his hand and glanced at Liu Xunhuan coldly.

Liu Xunhuan pursed his lips and succumbed to Gong Yu's lustful power.

This dead Gong Yu always threatens people every time he talks about the eldest girl of the Ye family.

If he pretends to be so good, can he not tell that he is obviously interested in the older girl?

The palace maid came to the table in a well-trained manner, put everything on the table, and served wine to each guest before leaving.

There will be more delicacies in the future. Ye Weirou has never tried the skills of an imperial chef in the Ye family. Now that she has delicious food and wine in front of her, she moves her chopsticks excitedly.

Yelan saw Ye Weirou's actions. Today's enemies were all present. She had no interest in using her chopsticks, but poured herself a glass of wine.

Her behavior fell into the eyes of Shen Yan, the man sitting opposite.

In order to prevent his gaze from being too explicit, Shen Yan also brought a glass of wine and pretended to watch Ye Lan's movements casually.

He felt that his actions were very subtle, but he didn't know that while he was paying attention to her, she was also observing him.

Did Shen Yan think she couldn't see the look in his eyes from such a distance?

He might not know that Ye Lan was someone who could kill an enemy's head with one arrow on the battlefield. She had very good eyesight and could see that Shen Yan was staring at her like a venomous snake secretly lurking.

Just as Ye Lan was plotting against him, he was also plotting against himself.

Today, the second room had a conspiracy and Shen Yan had a vicious plan. She didn't know if the second room and Shen Yan had joined forces, but it didn't matter.

The important thing is that since they have already been committed in front of her, let's just solve them all together. Shen Yan will come to her door by herself, so don't blame her for being cruel.

Yelan refused to drink the glass of wine in his hand, and Shen Yan felt a little anxious, but he was so far away from Yelan, and he couldn't control Yelan to drink the wine.

Suddenly, Ye Lan leaned towards Ye Weirou. The two of them didn't know what they said. Ye Weirou also poured herself a glass of wine.

The two clinked glasses, and Ye Lan and Ye Weirou covered their faces with their sleeves.

When I put the glass down, it was already empty.

Although Shen Yan was far away, he could still see that Ye Lan had indeed drank the wine. He couldn't help but curl up the corners of his lips and even his posture relaxed a lot.

The most difficult step of this plan has been solved, and there is no way Ye Lan can escape from his grasp.

He put down his wine glass and winked at the palace maid behind him.

Ye Weirou had just been drunk and seemed to be shaking a little next to Ye Lan. Ye Lan kindly supported her.

Ye Lan supported Ye Weirou's body to prevent her from falling, and looked at the men's seat. Shen Yan realized that his goal had been achieved and no longer paid attention to her.

She sneered and noticed Ye Hongyu on Shen Yan's right. He and Ye Yize were taking advantage of the good atmosphere to pour wine for Ye Feng. Ye Feng drank quickly, one cup after another. belly.

Ye Lan frowned, and before she could look further, a palace maid who didn't know where she came from suddenly passed by her carrying a fruit plate.

After so many years on the battlefield, she had already developed a vigilance beyond ordinary people. The position next to her was so wide, but the palace maid leaned towards her, which was obviously deceptive.

Sure enough, the next moment, the palace maid suddenly screamed and fell to her side.
