C341 Invited

The table was filled with delicacies, meals, and fine wine. Xuanyuan Chen, Shen Haoxuan and Xie Qingrong had already waited here for a long time.

Shen Haoxuan waved his fan, and asked uncertainly: "Duke, Princess, are you sure that Chief of the Ji Family will come?" Even now, he still could not believe that Xuanyuan Chen and Xie Qingrong had invited Ji Cangming to a feast.

That was the Ji Family, one of the top ten families. Ji Cangming was the patriarch of the Ji Family and had been in power for ten years.

Even if Xuanyuan Chen and Xie Qingrong were Prince Chen s and Princess Consort Chen s, he still wouldn't dare believe it.

Xie Qingrong indifferently glanced at Shen Haoxuan, played with the wine cup in her hand, and coldly said: "He will come."

It was a very certain tone, as if he was very sure that Ji Cangming would definitely come.

Shen Haoxuan opened his mouth, as though he wanted to retort, but after receiving Xuanyuan Chen's gaze, he swallowed the words in his throat back down his throat.

Seeing that Shen Haoxuan had tactfully shut his mouth, Xuanyuan Chen curled his lips and poured himself a cup of wine. Just as the wine was about to be filled up, the door to the private room was pushed open.

Shen Haoxuan's gaze instantly turned towards the door, seeing that the first person to enter was Ji Rufeng, he was slightly disappointed, but upon seeing the second middle-aged man, his eyes lit up.

With an extraordinary bearing and extraordinary temperament, and with the faint imposing aura of someone in a superior position, Shen Haoxuan opened his fan with a clap sound. He waved it and laughed: "Brother Ji, who is this person behind you?"

Ji Rufeng had yet to speak, but Ji Cangming straightforwardly introduced himself: "Ji Cangming." Although it was an answer to Shen Haoxuan's question, his gaze was fixated on Xie Qingrong.

Immediately, Shen Haoxuan looked at Ji Cangming with a somewhat obscure gaze. Could it be that Ji Cangming had taken a fancy to the consort?

For a dignified Ji Cangming to actually do such a disrespectful thing?

One truly could not judge a book by its cover, one could not judge a book by its cover.

"Clan Head Ji, Brother Ji, take a seat." Although Xuanyuan Chen did not like the look in Ji Cangming's eyes, he did not show it on the surface.

Xie Qingrong shook Xuanyuan Chen's hand to comfort him.

Ji Cangming picked up the chopsticks, nibbled on the food feebly, and then put the chopsticks aside. At the moment, his heart was still filled with excitement. Just now, when he entered, he saw Xie Qingrong with a face almost the same as Shang Huaiyue's, the excitement in his heart was even greater.

He did not intend to beat around the bush and went straight to the point, "A few days ago, Princess Consort Chen sent me a message and invited me to this banquet. I am very happy.

Xie Qingrong paused for a moment with the chopsticks in her hand. She did not expect Ji Cangming to be so straightforward. However, since Ji Cangming had already brought this matter up, then he didn't need to rack his brains for any reason to bring this matter up.

He smiled faintly at Ji Cangming and was about to say something, but was interrupted by Ji Rufeng.

"Since this Princess Consort Chen has taken the initiative to invite uncle, then this Princess Consort Chen must have already decided to return to his clan. Why must uncle be so anxious?" Ji Rufeng said slowly, the meaning in his eyes was unclear, the expression on his face was unfathomable.

Pausing for a moment, he continued: "But before that, I have a question that requires Princess Consort Chen's help to answer, I wonder if Princess Consort Chen is willing to tell me?"

"Oh?" Xie Qingrong seemed to be a little interested, and laughed: "I thought I could be considered friends with Ru Feng, furthermore, I have a layer of kinship with him. But who would have thought that Ru Feng would be so foreign to me. "

Tch, Ji Rufeng secretly sighed in his heart. He knew that Xie Qingrong was playing tricks with him, but he did not plan to care about it, and only chuckled.

"Earlier, Uncle had invited Princess Consort Chen many times, but Princess Consort Chen had never replied him. Yet when Wu Huan sent troops to suppress our borders and wanted to return to our clan, could I think that the Princess Consort Chen wanted to borrow the Ji Family's power? "

After Ji Rufeng finished speaking, he looked at Xie Qingrong calmly, waiting for Xie Qingrong's answer.

Xie Qingrong raised her brows and said, "That's right, Rufeng is absolutely right. If I can borrow the power of the Ji Family when I return to my clan, why wouldn't I use it? Since I have already become a Princess Consort Chen, I naturally have to think of a plan for the Heavenly Sage Kingdom. "

Ji Rufeng looked at Xie Qingrong weirdly. He had already prepared herself for Xie Qingrong to decline, but she did not expect Xie Qingrong to admit it after making the necessary preparations.

With the same personality as his uncle, it was no wonder they were father and daughter. Ji Rufeng laughed softly, as if he had thought of something interesting.

, who was listening to the entire process, was still stunned.

Where is this?

Where is he?

Why did he understand every time they said it, but why didn't he understand it all?

Princess Hua-Yang wanted to acknowledge her ancestors? Is the princess consort from the Ji Family?

Shen Haoxuan wiped away the sweat that did not exist on his face. There was some hesitation on his face, but he still managed to break the strange atmosphere. "About that, can any of you explain why you want to acknowledge an imperial concubine as your ancestor?"

Her father's surname was clearly Xie, and even her mother's surname was Shang, what does that have to do with the Ji Family?

Xuanyuan Chen laughed lowly, it was no wonder that Shen Haoxuan would have such suspicions, as though they had never told him that Xie Qingrong was not Xie Jing's biological daughter.

Thus, Xuanyuan Chen whispered a few sentences into Shen Haoxuan's ear. Shen Haoxuan's eyes were first filled with shock, then joy. He looked at Xie Qingrong as if he was looking at a rare treasure.

"Cough." Xie Qingrong coughed lightly. She scratched her head and looked away from Xie Qingrong.

He lightly tapped the table with his finger and laughed: "Clan Head Ji, before coming to today's banquet, you must know my goal. If you feel that you can't let me borrow your Ji Family's power, I won't mention the matter of recognizing your ancestors again. I hope Clan Head Ji thinks it through carefully. "

She would not force Ji Cangming, but she would definitely not let him down either.

If the Ji Family was not willing, why would she bother taking her ancestors as well? It was a common thing for large clans like that to scheme and scheme. She didn't have the time and energy to spend on such things.

Ji Cangming shook his head, and said: "You only need to properly recognize and return to the sect; You are my daughter, I will absolutely not let you receive even the slightest bit of grievance. "

The hand hiding under the table clenched slightly. Although he had already guessed that serious consequences would occur when Xie Qingrong returns to her clan after admitting her ancestors, he couldn't care less anymore.

It was precisely because he was too weak back then that he lost Shang Huaiyue and lost the chance to accompany his two daughters to grow up.

But this time, he would not let history repeat itself.
