If Xiao Minglan was the biggest weirdo in the capital city, then Tan Siwei would be the second weirdo. When he was eight or nine years old, he accidentally read a travel book about mountains and rivers. He set his ambition to imitate Xu Xiake and travel to all the famous mountains and rivers. But how could Prime Minister Tan and his wife bear to let their youngest son be exposed to the elements? So they tried their best to stop him. But Young Master Tan was stubborn. Once he set his ambition, he would not change his mind.
Either he would climb the wall today and accidentally fall from the wall and break his bones, or he would fly down from the roof with a big kite on his back and escape with the wind. In the end, he would be hung on a tree branch for an entire day and night, becoming a joke to countless passers-by. In short, he would be escaping or planning to escape for three hundred out of three hundred and sixty-five days in a year. He was famous throughout the city.
Until two years ago, when he reached an agreement with Prime Minister Tan, he suddenly changed his mind and entered the Supreme Court. Many people were waiting to see if this young master would continue to cause trouble. They didn't expect that although this young master looked unreliable, he was very reliable in doing things. Within a few years, he was sitting in the position of Shaoqing. This was also the reason why Duke Ning liked him.
Hearing Ning Shu's polite expression of respect, the bitterness on Tan Siwei's face became even stronger. He hurriedly said, "Miss Ning, you flatter me. It really makes me feel ashamed and fearful. Please don't say that. Miss, you solved the Phoenix Terrace Case bravely, which really made me amazed. I have always wanted to have a chance to ask you for advice. Today, I have finally met you. " As he spoke, his baby face faintly blushed. He looked pure and innocent, completely different from his dissolute elder brother.
Awkward, incomparably awkward.
Ning Shu wailed in her heart, wondering why she had been so unlucky recently. Then, she pretended not to understand anything and smiled apologetically.
She was thinking that today's meal would be difficult and how to get through it. Then she heard a voice outside the room. The voice was respectful, cautious, and lively. It was a little familiar.
"Shizi Ye, there is a threshold in front. Be careful."
Then, Ning Shu saw Xiahou Qing slowly step into the room with Huimo's help. For some reason, His Highness the Crown Prince was not wearing his usual black clothes today. Instead, he was wearing a frost-colored robe. His cloak was also of the same color. This Xiahou Qing was different from his cold, indifferent, and alienated appearance when he was dressed in black. This Xiahou Qing was elegant, gentle, and jade-colored like a celestial being. As soon as he entered one's sight, his eyes lit up and he was breathtaking.
After a brief moment of absent-mindedness, Ning Shu came back to her senses and looked around.
Thus, Xiao Yunyi, who was dressed in scarlet, Tan Siwei, who was dressed in a blue python robe, and Xiahou Qing, who was as white as a fairy, surrounded Ning Shu, forming a tripartite formation.
A word silently entered Ning Shu's mind.
What was it again?
It was really a hell on earth …
Although Tan Siwei was a weirdo and pure person, he was not sloppy when it came to serious matters. When he saw that the nobles had all arrived, he immediately arranged for the servants to start preparing for the banquet. Incense was lit, tea was served, and dishes were served. He also called for musicians to liven things up.
In addition to Ning Shu and the other three, there were also two officials from the Ministry of Justice who were ordered to investigate the Imperial Astronomer. The two officials were very tactful. They knew that their official positions were low and did not deserve to sit with the nobles. Thus, they sat together. As a result, only Xiahou Qing, Xiao Yunyi, and Tan Siwei were left with an empty seat beside each of them at the square table.
Ning Shu silently glanced at the three seats and the people next to them. Her face was numb.
Tan Siwei did not know what was going on. Seeing that Ning Shu was motionless like a piece of wood, he took the initiative to stand up and invite her. "Lady Ning, there are still three seats left. If Miss doesn't mind, why don't you, why don't you sit with me?"
On the other side, Xiao Yunyi snorted coldly. He raised his eyebrows and glanced at Tan Siwei, then looked at Ning Shu. "It doesn't seem appropriate for Lord Tan and Shu 'er to sit together for the first time. Speaking of which, Shu 'er and I have known each other for many years and have taken care of each other. Shu' er, you should come over to my side. "
At the last table, Huimo, who was standing behind Xiahou Qing, rolled his eyes and immediately raised his voice, "My lords, you may not know this, but in the Phoenix Stage case, Miss Ning and my Shizi were partners all the way. They had a tacit understanding and should sit together with my Shizi."
