After my mind was read, I became the emperor's favorite

Today is Jiang Guozhang’s 60th birthday.

Although the Jiang family's status became very embarrassing after the current emperor ascended the throne.

But after all, he is the prince's grandfather, so everyone is happy to give him face and come to celebrate his birthday.

At the beginning of the afternoon, most of the noble families had arrived with their families, and a few small officials and businessmen with connections also received invitations to enter.

The crowd split into three groups, it was quite lively.

Huo Le'an originally wanted to take Qi Mingze to meet his friends, but he didn't expect that his cousin also came under the identity of Yun Chengyuan.

Now he could only give up the idea and wait for the next time.

Why do I feel like these two are inseparable?

Huo Le'an scratched his head and shook off these unrealistic thoughts.

"Chengyuan, aren't you busy lately? I don't usually see you attending these banquets."

Huo Le'an felt very strange. If he had not entered the palace before, he would never have met his cousin.

I've seen him three times in the past few days.

Jun Linyuan gave him a sidelong look and didn't bother to pay any attention to him.

"I invited Chengyuan to come with us." Qi Mingze explained for him.

Just when the two of them separated, he just interrupted and asked, "Are you also going to attend Jiang Guozhang's birthday party? Do you want to join us?"

Chengyuan followed him here, so to be honest, he was the one who invited him here.

"Ever since my little cousin had Chengyuan, I have to withdraw from the sight of him." Huo Le'an teased them jokingly.

Ever since his little cousin started exercising with his older cousin, he basically hasn't seen his little cousin anymore.

Several times he found the Jinyiwei's training ground, but was always told not to disturb his little cousin's training.

He could only go to his good brothers and condemn his cousin's domineering behavior together.

(The unknown good brothers secretly complained: Thank you so much, you are like eight hundred ducks when you come here, it’s ok to talk non-stop, but you are talking about the commander of the Jinyiwei, is this something that a bunch of us dandies can listen to?)

At this time, there was a commotion among the group of unmarried men and women.

Cui Mingruo was lying on the ground, tears in her beautiful eyes, looking timidly at the gorgeously dressed noble lady beside her.

Fan Chengtian roared, blocking Cui Mingruo and pointing at the noble lady in front of him, demanding, "Xie Mingzhu, why did you push Ruoruo?"

Xie Mingzhu was also a spoiled child at home. She had never suffered such an injustice before, so she immediately confronted Fan Chengtian.

"Fan Chengtian, which eye of yours saw me push him?"

"If it wasn't you who pushed her, could it be that Ruoruo fell down by herself?

You have done this kind of thing many times. Whenever you see a woman who is close to Wu Xirui, you will teach her a lesson.

Now he doesn't even let his younger brother Ruoruo go. He is really unlucky to be engaged to a shrew like you."

Speaking of Wu Xirui, Xie Mingzhu seemed to have been hit in a sore spot. She instantly became furious and pulled out the whip from her waist as if to hit him.

"Fan Chengtian, if you say another word, I'll smack your mouth."

When the farce started, someone went to look for Wu Xirui, and only then did the real culprit hurried over from where the noble family heads gathered.

"Mingzhu, stop!" Wu Xirui saw Cui Mingruo still lying on the ground when he got closer. He immediately went to help him up, held him in his arms and looked at him for a long time.

[System, is it ready over there? I can't hold out much longer here.] Cui Mingruo desperately urged the system.

For him, an uneducated modern man, memorizing a few poems just to show off is already the limit.

If he really had to take the imperial examination and write eight-legged essays, he wouldn't even have to think about it.

How can someone who only scored 300 points in the college entrance examination pass the imperial examination? What a joke.

I have to use some special means, and this banquet just happens to be a good springboard.

It was worth it that he had served Fan Chengtian for two hours yesterday, so he borrowed his elder brother's invitation and brought him in.

[The target's movements have been detected, 300 points have been deducted, and the target has been confused.

Host, please be careful not to let the target drown.]

I'm still a little worried about the strategy system. I heard that the emperor is extremely concerned about the prince. If he is accidentally killed, he will definitely investigate thoroughly.

Although it didn't think its design would be discovered, it still had such a brainless host. If it let the secret slip, it would have to ask the host to help clean up the mess.

[Don't worry, didn't you say he has a deep golden destiny? How could he die so easily?]

【Okay, host, you decide for yourself.】

[Besides, if you don't save someone when they are on the verge of death, how can it be effective?]

He had been waiting for this opportunity to enter the officialdom. Even the smallest official position could serve as a stepping stone for him to contact the upper class.

Otherwise, let alone conquering Yun Chengyuan, you won’t even be able to see a single hair of him.

[Okay.] I thought about the strategy system and decided to leave it alone. It only wanted luck and points, so what else did it have to do with it?

Whether it succeeds or not, it has already got 300 points. If something goes wrong, it can take the opportunity to ask for more points.

"Ruoruo, are you okay? Do you want to call a doctor to come and take a look?"

Although everything seemed fine on the surface, Wu Xirui still asked worriedly.

Cui Mingruo breathed a sigh of relief when he caught a glimpse of a small pale yellow figure appearing at the corner, and turned to perform seriously for Wu Xirui.

"Brother Rui, I'm fine, don't blame Sister Mingzhu."

It would have been fine if Cui Mingruo hadn't said this, but by saying this he directly confirmed Xie Mingzhu's guilt.

Cui Mingruo leaned on Wu Xirui as if he had no bones, covering up the cunning light in his eyes.

He chose Xie Mingzhu for a reason. First, Xie Mingzhu was arrogant and intolerant, so it was natural for him to use her to cause trouble and attract everyone's attention.

Secondly, this would alienate the relationship between Wu Xirui and her. How could he let others get their hands on the fish in his pond?

"Brother Rui, listen to me, I didn't touch him at all." Xie Mingzhu explained helplessly.

The two were alone together just now, and Cui Mingruo sent Fan Chengtian away.

Therefore, there was no witness who could prove her innocence, and Xie Mingzhu had no way to defend herself.

Wu Xirui said to Xie Mingzhu impatiently, "Mingzhu, apologize!"

[Life is a play, it all depends on your acting! Xie Mingzhu lost because of her love-sickness.] Z9587 couldn't help but sigh as he watched this farce.

[A once majestic daughter of a general has fallen to the point of fighting with a little white girl in the house, and the key is that she can't even win.

If the head of the family was really called over, Wu Xirui wouldn't dare to say a word.

As a general, I know that the Wu family is eyeing the general's military power.

In this marriage, Wu Xirui had to marry her whether he liked her or not.

As long as the General's Mansion doesn't fall, Xie Mingzhu will be supported by the Wu family for the rest of her life. It's a pity that she doesn't understand.

Jun Linyuan was quite impressed with this system; the analysis was quite accurate.

But he would not let this marriage succeed, and Wu Xirui's self-destructive behavior was exactly what he wanted.

General Xie was also a smart man. He knew that if this marriage was successful, his position as general would be over.

If it weren't for the women in the family crying and holding him back, he would have found an excuse to cancel the marriage long ago. Why would he drag his daughter along until now?

[No, something's wrong with Cui Mingruo.]

Qi Mingze looked around and saw a child in a light yellow robe walking straight towards the pond.

There was no one to attend him, and the people around him seemed invisible.

"Chengyuan, cousin, look over there." Qi Mingze pointed at the prince and asked them.

"What happened over there?" Huo Le'an didn't see anything and looked at Qi Mingze in confusion.

Qi Mingze turned to look at Jun Linyuan again.

"I didn't see anything." Jun Linyuan shook his head at him.

Qi Mingze ran towards the prince without thinking.

Jun Linyuan seemed to have thought of something and chased after him.

"Plop." Jun Yizu fell directly into the pond, followed by Qi Mingze, who was a step slower.

It was not until Qi Mingze fell into the water that the guests and servants nearby reacted and gathered around.

Jun Yizu was struggling constantly, and although Qi Mingze caught him, he was unable to drag him ashore.

"Plop." 'Jun Linyuan' swam to Qi Mingze's side.

"Mingze, Zhu'er?" It was only then that Jun Linyuan saw the child in Qi Mingze's arms.

He also understood that the target mentioned by Cui Mingruo and the strategy system was actually his nephew.

Without thinking, Jun Linyuan put one arm around Qi Mingze's waist and the other around his struggling nephew, and swam to the shore.

Looking at this scene, Cui Mingruo knew that his plan had failed, and a feeling of anger suddenly rose in his heart.

[It's him again. He ruined my plan last time, and now it's him again! ]
