1260: The Yao Family's Banquet

The Yao Family's Banquet

Chu Tian looked expressionless. Faced with the messenger's smile, Chu Tian still did not react to them. The messenger smiled because he came with a plan, and the Yao Family belonged to the Crown Prince's team, thus smiling so happily and trying to set up his daughter.1

The messenger was here for some other plan, he believed.

That was why Chu Tian would not treat them in a friendly manner.

Whenever he closed his eyes, he kept thinking of how Xiwen suffered. Honored Princess Jing did not just drug her. She was trying to make her handicapped!

He was tolerating the fury instead of making plans, because he was really trying to calm himself down.

So when he was facing the messenger Yao Liqing, he could not conceal his fury.

Seeing Chu Tian's cold face, Yao Liqing coughed and got a bit displeased.

The Yao Family had always been an important family even before the Crown Prince was in his position, and a noble family like them was far above the Chu Family in every way.

Also, Lord Ling had already become the Crown Prince and married the Phoenix Girl, who was going to take the throne.

The Yao Family had never bent down to the Chu Family in the past, and right now, the Yao Family considered themselves very generous to have given the Chu Family a smiling face. What was the Chu Family thinking to have shown a terrible look to Yao Liqing? Yao Liqing did not think that their temper would take them anywhere.

Within a moment, Yao Liqing's expression sank too.

He looked at Chu Tian and said in a very formal manner. "The banquet for the Yao Family is taking place in three days. Normally, the banquet will be held in the middle of this month every year, but due to the victory news from Jiayu Pass, the Yao Family decided to make this a bigger event - and to host the banquet."

"…"

"Our two families have been hanging out for years, so I am passing on the invitation personally. Prime Minister Chu, please, do remember to come."

"…"

"Also, Qingqing said that she has not met the Elder Miss of the Chu Family for ages, so you have to bring the Elder Miss of the Chu Family with you this time. So that these two girls can have a chat with each other." Yao Liqing smiled as if he were a really good friend with the Chu Family.

Honored Princess Jing stressed that the Elder Miss of the Chu Family had to be at the banquet, though he had no idea what for. Honored Princess Jing was the Crown Prince's mother and Yao Liqing was just working for her devotedly.

Yao Liqing came to pass on the invitation personally, because he was devoted. He wanted to complete the mission.

Chu Tian snorted.

Sure enough…

Honored Princess Jing and the Gu Family kept coming up with different plans just to try to set them up.

Xiwen must go to the banquet? Xiwen was forced to go into the fire pit!

Chu Tian was not going to say yes to this invitation.

He did not take the invitation. Nor did he ask his servant to take it. Instead, he said calmly, "Xiwen got startled in the court and she is still sick in bed. Xiwen is not going to be there."

"…"

"If Lady Qingqing misses Xiwen, she can come to my mansion to have a chat with her."

"Prime Minister Chu, this is the banquet held by the Yao Family!"
