After Breaking Off My Marriage, I Became A Powerful Minister's Treasure

586 The show was finally here

When Liang Yujun heard this, he was also speechless.

“When did Shi Qingluo become your daughter-in-law?” he asked directly.

Liang Yulin said proudly, “I’ve already asked for a marriage decree. Yuelan has finally agreed to marry me. Hanzheng will be my son in the future. Qingluo will naturally be my daughter-in-law.”

He glanced at Yujun. “I know you’re jealous, but there’s no point being jealous about it.”

Liang Yujun was speechless. What was he jealous of?

And what was he implying?

He wondered why this fellow was so proud of marrying a divorced woman.

Although Xiao Hanzheng was indeed outstanding, his family name was Xiao.

“As long as you’re happy,” he said flatly, his face expressionless.

Not only were the people present eating, but their ears also perked up to listen.

Hearing Prince Yi’s words and tone, everyone was surprised.

It seemed that Prince Yi liked Xiao Hanzheng’s mother very much.

Many people looked at Xiao Yuanshi as if they were waiting for a good show.

They seemed to be saying, your divorced wife is treated as a treasure by Prince Yi. It seems that you didn’t have a good eye.

This made Xiao Yuanshi suddenly feel a little regretful. He shouldn’t have come to this banquet.

However, no matter how unhappy he was, he couldn’t stand up and refute a prince with real power.

He could only endure the strange looks from others.

Many of the madams and young ladies felt a tinge of jealousy and injustice.

Although Mdm Kong was indeed good-looking and young, how could she be worthy of Prince Yi’s attention?

With Prince Yi’s status, appearance, and temperament, he could find any unmarried girl he wanted.

Why would he restrict himself to just a divorced woman?

Mdm Kong really had some tricks up her sleeves.

Madam Tu was one of those who couldn’t stand this.

Sitting next to her was a beautiful young girl who was also Madam Tu’s beloved youngest daughter, Tu Yujiao.

When she first saw Prince Yi, she looked at him with awe.

This person was simply too good-looking.

His refined temperament made him look like a banished immortal who had descended into the mortal world.

Of course, Xiao Hanzheng was also very good-looking, but his status was much lower than that of Prince Yi.

After learning that Prince Yi had not married a princess consort, she couldn’t help but think of a plan.

She knew that her father wanted her fourth brother to marry that village girl, Xiao Baili, in order to give the Tu family a way out.

However, she had the same thoughts as her mother.

If she did that, it would be too much of a grievance for the fourth brother.

Now that she saw Prince Yi, she suddenly had an idea.

If she could marry Prince Yi, then if Prince Jin lost in the future, not only could her family have a way out, but they could also continue to live in luxury.

She was not engaged yet, so she really could not be interested in those so-called young talents in Northern City.

But when she saw Prince Yi, she felt that he was the man she wanted to marry.

He was so good-looking and had a mature charm with a graceful demeanor.

His status was also noble, and he was not someone that those children of aristocratic families could compare to.

She had wanted to tell her parents about this plan after the banquet.

But now, when she heard that Prince Yi wanted to marry Xiao Hanzheng’s mother, her expression changed.

What right did an old woman who already has children have? Was she worthy?

She clenched her skirt tightly, feeling extremely uncomfortable.

However, they were not married yet, so she still had a chance.

Because of the variety of dishes, those who came to the banquet felt that the trip was not in vain.

Only good food could live up to its value.

Even after a thousand years, those recipes still came in handy.

Therefore, everyone ate very happily.

Many of them were full, but they still carried their plates and went to get more food.

And how could these desserts be so delicious?

The egg tarts and cakes were especially popular among the madams and young ladies.

Although the northern border’s folk customs were more open-minded, everyone still had the habit of having different tables for men and women for a banquet with so many attendees.

Madam Tu was sitting with her daughter and other madams whom she frequently interacted with.

She had delicious food in her mouth, but she really couldn’t swallow it down.

Although the madams were still eating elegantly, their eating speed was not slow. There were many plates in front of them.

...

This caused Madam Tu to have an eyesore.

Seeing that there was no wine at the banquet, she could not sit still.

Hence, she gave Master Tu, who was sitting alone at a table not far away, a look.

Although Master Tu was dissatisfied, he couldn’t stop himself from eating more.

After receiving her gaze, he subtly gave a look to his personal attendant behind him.

The personal attendant realized what was going on and went to get food for Master Tu, but he made a gesture to one of the descendants from a aristocratic family who was also getting food.

Therefore, after he took a plate of roast duck and sat down, he raised his head and looked at Shi Qingluo, who was about to go downstairs.

“Princess, there are so many good dishes, how can there be no wine to go with them?

“Don’t you have wine on your buffet?”

As soon as he said this, the people present felt that the show was finally here.

The people who came up to get the roast duck also lined up and pretended to wait, but in fact, they wanted to stay and watch the show.

...

When the people downstairs heard this, many of them also pretended to come up to get food.

Shi Qingluo had not taken out the wine earlier because she was waiting for someone to deliver himself to her.

She smiled. “Of course, good food should be accompanied by good wine. The banquet has just started. It is already ready.”

She raised her hand and clapped.

Soon, beautiful maids came out with trays, on which were rows of transparent wine glasses.

These were new wine cups made in the emperor’s glass workshop.

Prince Yi thought it was good, so he brought a lot to the northern border.

They were of use just in time today.

Behind them were a few servants carrying wine jars.

This also left everyone stunned.

The cups were not only made of coloured glass, but they were also transparent.

Just one cup alone was worth so much, yet Shi Qingluo had taken out so many to hold wine?

This was really grand!

They didn’t know what kind of wine could match such a glass.

The person who had spoken earlier was stunned.

Then he was prepared for a pre-emptive strike, so he swept his gaze over the wine jar that the servant was carrying.

“I think the wine jar belongs to the Fang family. Princess, are you going to use the wine brewed by the Fang family to entertain us?

“If that’s the case, then we’ll be disappointed.

“After all, compared to the Fang family’s wine, we still prefer the Tu family’s wine.”

These words were clearly intended to find fault and cut off Shi Qingluo’s escape route in advance.

“Then it seems like your eyesight isn’t very good,” Shi Qingluo retorted, chuckling.

“A portion of these wine jars were brought from the capital, and the other portion were custom-made ones in Heyang County.

“You actually thought that they were from the Fang family. Then after the banquet, you should go find a doctor to get your eyes checked.”

That person choked.

Shi Qingluo actually secretly said that he was blind in public.

It was really too much.

Xiao Hanzheng also smiled and said, “I’m not very talented even though I’m a disciple of the divine doctor. Nevertheless, if you really can’t find a doctor who is good at checking your eyesight, you can send me an invitation. I’ll treat you for free.”

This also confirmed his wife’s words that he was blind.

Those present were stunned.

Obviously, they did not expect Xiao Hanzheng and his wife to fight with the troublemaker as soon as they came together.

Northern City was saying that Princess Fubao was very arrogant and direct, and today, it was really the case.

More importantly, rather than restraining her further, Magistrate Xiao took the initiative to back her up.

Previously, there were rumors that Magistrate Xiao adored and even feared his wife.

They thought someone was spreading falsehoods, but it seemed to be true.
