The banquet officially began with fine wine, delicious food, singing and dancing, and everyone congratulated the Duke one by one.

Feng Yunjin was very busy throughout the whole event, and many officials and sons of officials came to toast him.

Only two people did not move, one was Jiang Lin from the Prime Minister's Mansion, and the other was Xiao Qingyue from the General's Mansion.

Although the Prime Minister and Jiang Ruoyue weren't present, Jiang Ruoyue's brother, Jiang Lin, was. Jiang Lin looked at the princess in the upper seat. While the Third and Ninth Princesses were indeed very elegant, they pale in comparison to the Fifth Princess, Feng Zhaoyun. If only he could marry into the Fifth Prince's mansion. If only his foolish sister hadn't offended the Fifth Princess, he wouldn't be in such a difficult position right now.

Feng Zhaoyun was attending a banquet in this dynasty for the first time and found everything very novel. Previously, dancers were all women, but in this era of female supremacy, the dancers were men. Although they were men, their dancing was more charming than that of women and was extremely beautiful.

The attendants were mostly men, a stark contrast to his own dynasty. Aside from the Duke, most of the attendants were women, while the male members of the family had a separate area below. Previously, this area had always been reserved for me, but now that the seats had been swapped, it felt truly wonderful.

"Is it so beautiful?"

Feng Zhaoyun looked up. It turned out to be Xiao Qingyue. Xiao Qingyue looked at her with a faint smile. Every time she saw Xiao Qingyue, she felt like she was bathed in spring breeze. "Yes, it is beautiful."

Xiao Qingyue smiled slightly, "Your Highness, could you have a few drinks with me?" She said this with some caution, after all, this was the most powerful woman in the Shang Dynasty.

"Of course, Master Xiao, please take a seat." Master Xiao's words really touched Feng Zhaoyun's heart. Why not? He was eager to do so.

Xiao Qingyue sat down nearby, attracting everyone's attention. This Young Master Xiao was truly resourceful, having managed to capture the heart of the Fifth Prince. Everyone was filled with admiration.

Xiao Yushan was drinking with the Duke, and they were so happy. They were both soldiers, and although there was a difference between men and women, the Duke was indeed an admirable man, and he was very happy drinking with him. Zhang, the Minister of Rites, called out to General Xiao, "General Xiao, is that your son?"

Xiao Yushan waved his hand nonchalantly and said, "Yes." This son looked so refined and didn't look like a member of his family at all.

Lord Zhang immediately understood, "Your son is indeed capable, able to win the heart of the Fifth Prince. It seems that the marriage is just around the corner!"

The Duke next to him narrowed his eyes slightly. He had already seen Xiao Qingyue and Feng Zhaoyun sitting together, and he was worried about the marriage between the two families. But it was okay, so that his idiot son would give up. Look at his idiot son, his face was so dark that it was almost dripping with water.

Here, Xiao Yushan drank a bowl of wine and suddenly felt something was wrong, "Master Zhang, what did you say?" Then he looked at the table next to him where Feng Zhaoyun was sitting, his eyes wide open.

"This...this..." I was speechless for a while.

The Duke looked at the shocked Xiao Yushan and then came to his rescue, "My son is grown up now and has his own ideas. Don't be too..."

"My son is amazing!" Xiao Yushan slammed the table, startling the Duke. The noise was so loud that several people around turned to look.

Xiao Qingyue held her forehead with her hand...her mother was really a headache.

Feng Zhaoyun covered her mouth with a handkerchief and laughed, "Mr. Xiao, your mother is such a straightforward person."

Xiao Qingyue smiled embarrassedly after hearing this, "Your Highness, please don't make fun of me."

The two of them were talking and laughing, drinking, watching singing and dancing together, having a great time. Neither of them noticed Feng Yunjin, whose face was dark and almost dripping with water.

The guards around Feng Yunjin felt that the aura around their master suddenly became terribly cold, and they really wanted to become invisible.

Feng Yunjin clutched his wine glass, looking at the two men above him. He really wanted to flip the table over and drag Xiao Qingyue out to give her a good beating. Who was she trying to seduce on his own turf? One second she said she came just for him, then flirted with him, and the next second she was flirting with someone else. The most infuriating thing was that his father was drinking with this man's mother like brothers. What a shame.

Not far away, Feng Yaoxue looked at the two people in front of her, waved to the maid beside her, lowered her head and said a few words, and the maid nodded and left.

After a while, Feng Yaoxue walked towards Feng Zhaoyun, holding a wine jug in her hand. "Fifth sister, who is this? Can you introduce her to me?" After saying this, she stared straight at Xiao Qingyue. "You bitch, you're such a loser! Everyone is surrounding you."

Feng Zhaoyun's mood improved as he chatted with Xiao Qingyue. He looked at the newcomer but said nothing. He thought, what is this guy doing? Is he trying to steal the meat from his mouth?

Seeing that she was silent and staring at her, Feng Yaoxue quickly held her breath and bent down to pour a glass of wine for Feng Zhaoyun. "Fifth sister, you are so stingy. I am just asking. Come, I will toast you a glass and I won't bother you anymore."

Xiao Qingyue was about to stand up and salute Feng Yaoxue, but was pulled down by Feng Zhaoyun. Feng Zhaoyun stood up and picked up the wine glass. "Third sister, go back and sit down after you finish drinking. Don't come here to disturb me." After saying that, he drank it all in one gulp.

These words were so blunt and blunt that Feng Yaoxue felt embarrassed. But thinking about the fun that was about to happen, she could endure it. She drank it too and returned to her seat in shame.

Feng Yunjin saw everything. Feng Zhaoyun didn't even know he was drugged. He was still busy chatting with that guy.

After a while, Feng Zhaoyun suddenly felt hot and wiped the sweat from his forehead with a handkerchief. "Mr. Xiao, I feel a little hot. I'm going to go for a walk. You drink first. I'll be back soon."

After saying this, she led Jiuyi out of the banquet. Seeing Feng Zhaoyun leave, many people felt their chance had come. They all found excuses to follow her out, hoping for a chance encounter, a chance encounter. After all, who wouldn't want to enter Prince Zhan's mansion? Among those who followed was Jiang Lin.

Feng Yunjin looked at so many people thinking about her, lowered her head and shook her head, signaling the guards behind her. Then the guards disappeared into the crowd.

Feng Yaoxue was in a good mood here. Feng Zhaoyun, I want you to be ruined. After what happened today, I want to see how you can still pretend to be noble in front of your mother.

After walking for a while, Feng Zhaoyun found a pavilion and sat down. He pulled his collar and felt something was wrong. "Jiuyi, I'm afraid I've been poisoned. Go find a carriage and pick me up at the door and take me back to the mansion."

Jiuyi was ordered to withdraw

Jiang Lin watched Jiuyi leave and walked over. All the others were sent away by Feng Yunjin's men or led elsewhere, except Jiang Lin.

"Your Highness, what a coincidence to meet you here."

Although Jiang Lin is a good boy, he is nothing compared to Xiao Qingyue and Feng Yunjin.

Feng Zhaoyun looked at the person who came and asked, "Why don't you kneel when you see me?"

Jiang Lin was stunned. Didn't he see His Highness being so kind to Xiao Qingyue just now? Why was he so cold to him?

It was then that Jiang Lin noticed Feng Zhaoyun's face was slightly red, his eyes were blurry, and he was gasping for breath, clutching his chest. A thought flashed through his mind: "This looks like she's been given an aphrodisiac. Doesn't this give me a chance?" He then walked towards Feng Zhaoyun...

At this moment, the guard beside Feng Yunjin came out and said, "Master Jiang, the Duke's son wants you to come over to discuss an important matter."

Jiang Lin looked impatient. This didn't ruin his plans. "No!"

Feng Zhaoyun was dizzy at the moment, relying on his willpower to hold on. He had no intention of caring about Jiang Lin at all.

The guard knelt again and said, "This is a matter concerning the Prime Minister. Please follow me!"

Jiang Lin heard this and thought, there's no way to escape anyway. This place is remote and no one will find it for a while. After thinking it over, he turned around and said, "Lead the way!"

A while after Jiang Lin left, Feng Zhaoyun forced herself to stand and walked out of the pavilion, slowly losing her way. She groggily reached the edge of a lotus pond, her legs giving way, and she was about to collapse when a pair of large hands caught her waist.

Feng Zhaoyun opened his eyes and saw a blurry image of Xiao Qingyue. Xiao Qingyue looked at the woman, whose face was slightly red and whose eyes were misty, and assumed she was drunk, not thinking of the possibility of drugging.

"Your Highness, please hold on for a moment. I'll go get someone."

Hearing the man say this, Feng Zhaoyun suddenly grabbed his arm. "Mr. Xiao, help me up and take me out of the house. Don't call for help."

Xiao Qingyue nodded, "Yeah."

Hearing this, he helped her up. The two of them walked through the mansion until they reached a rockery. Feng Zhaoyun smelled the cold fragrance on the man's body, and his rationality suddenly collapsed. Unable to hold on any longer, he pressed Xiao Qingyue against the rockery. The woman's eyes were as charming as silk, as if she could bewitch Xiao Qingyue, staring straight at her.

Xiao Qingyue was at a loss as to what to do after being suddenly pushed against the wall. Looking at the stunning beauty before her, she stared at her infatuatedly.

Feng Zhaoyun slowly approached him, hooked her hands around his neck, and put her face close. Xiao Qingyue could smell the sweet scent, mixed with the aroma of wine. Her earlobes immediately turned red...

"Sir...your earlobe is red." After saying that, he turned his face to the side and gently kissed Xiao Qingyue's earlobe.

Xiao Qingyue was shocked, "Your Highness, do you know... um..."

Feng Zhaoyun turned around and kissed Xiao Qingyue's lips... Xiao Qingyue was quick at first, but finally slowly closed her eyes...

"What are you doing!"

Xiao Qingyue suddenly opened her eyes, gently pushed Feng Zhaoyun away, and looked at the person who came.

Feng Yunjin was so cold that he could kill people. He walked over angrily and pulled the dizzy Feng Zhaoyun into his arms. "Master Xiao, I am following the orders of the Duke. The Fifth Prince is drunk. I am sending him back to the palace."

After saying that, he picked up Feng Zhaoyun and strode away.

Jiuyi couldn't wait for his master at the door, so he hurried back to the pavilion, but there was no one there. He anxiously searched everywhere in the Duke's Mansion for his master...
