Chapter 1709: The Ostracized Guest
Now that the contradiction between the young couple has been resolved, and there is no reason to drive away just after coming, it is reasonable to stay for a while, and the place where Feihong lived in the tree house in Luyang Park was the beginning. However, the green mother-in-law has explained in advance, Xiahou Tianweng's birthday is imminent, and the emperor and queen of heaven will come to the imperial garden, so that the little couple will stay in the green garden and not run around, so as not to cause any unnecessary trouble.
It should be under the order, and whether Miao Yi will comply with it is another matter.
The next day, a team of guards entered the Green Central Garden to check, the Emperor and the Queen of Heaven were going to visit the Imperial Garden, similar to the inspection is customary, to see if there is any abnormality and so on.
The leader of the team is a thin man named Tong Yue, who is now a commander under the Imperial Garden Headquarters. Miao Yi may not have much impression of him, but he naturally has an impression of Miao Yi, because he is the survivor of half of the Tiger Banner in the First Battle of Youding Domain.
After the Black Dragon Division was disbanded that year, the survivors of the half of the Tiger Banner were basically different from what they used to be, such as Tong Yue, who was originally just a partial general, but now he is sitting in the position of commander, and he has been promoted by two levels in just these years.
Miao Yi and Feihong were searched, and it can't be said that there is anything wrong, at least the appearance of the two in Luyang Park is abnormal.
The sunlight penetrated the dense forest, leaving a quiet and mottled light and shadow in the forest, and Tong Yue, who was followed by two people, walked out of the mottled light and shadow with a mysterious charm, and quietly walked to Miao Yi and stood still.
The two looked at each other for a moment, Miao Yi only felt that this person was familiar and knew that he had seen it, but there were so many people under him back then, and it was impossible for everyone to remember it, but he knew that the thin man in front of him was Tong Yue.
A group of Tong Yue's subordinates looked at him, and they all knew that he was originally Niu Youde's subordinates, and he was a survivor of the half of the Tiger Banner led by Niu Youde, and it was also because of that battle that he was quickly promoted.
And when this group of people saw Miao Yi, they couldn't tell what emotions they were. The former head of the Black Dragon Division had laid an insurmountable monument in the Guards, but now it is rumored that he has become depressed and self-defeating, which is embarrassing.
Miao Yi suddenly showed a faint smile: "Tong Yue!"
Everyone was secretly surprised, there were so many people in the Black Dragon Division back then, and Tong Yue was just a partial general below, but they didn't expect Miao Yi to remember Tong Yue's name. It's not easy.
Goodbye Miao Yi, Tong Yue's heart can be said to be full of emotion, and the scenes of the bloody battle in Youding Domain flashed in his mind, which was unforgettable. Although he was excited, he tried to control the emotional changes on the surface, and bowed his hand: "My lord!"
The green mother-in-law on the side glanced at Miao Yi, and probably saw that it was Miao Yi's old department in the Guards.
"No need to be polite. Miao Yi raised his hand to help.
Granny Green said loudly: "The two of them have come here to report, and there will be no problems." ”
Tong Yue glanced at Granny Green, and then at Miao Yi. "Tong Yue is on official business, and he must do official business, please forgive me, and let Tong Yue verify it. ”
Miao Yi nodded: "Naturally." ”
Tong Yue figured out that Xingling didn't know where to contact him, and after waiting for a while to confirm that it was correct, he nodded to his subordinates, and scattered around Miao Yi and Feihong's centaurs.
Then Tong Yue let his subordinates disperse and continue the search, while he accompanied Miao Yi to chat for a few words. Xingling, who exchanged contact with Miao Yi when people were unprepared.
After the people below came back one after another, Tong Yue said goodbye. He led the men and horses away.
Miao Yi squinted, he needed to grasp the general movements in the Imperial Garden, but no one on the Imperial Garden side would help him, and later found out that Tong Yue, the old department of the Black Dragon Division on the Imperial Garden, was on duty in the Imperial Garden, and Yun Zhiqiu asked people to contact Tong Yue and ask him to cooperate with Miao Yi.
For these old ministries. Relatively speaking, Miao Yi is still relatively relieved, Yun Zhiqiu has always maintained his business, not to mention the relationship, at least he has all been pulled into the water and all of them have been on his Miao Yi's thief ship. It would not be trivial to let the Guards know that these people had been secretly receiving funding from others for a long time.
Miao Yi thought that these people might come in handy in the future, but he didn't expect someone to come in handy so soon.
Two days later, on the day of the birthday banquet, almost all the ministers who could rank in the court came to their respective courtyards in the imperial garden one after another.
As soon as there was movement over there, Miao Yi immediately asked Feihong to pester the green mother-in-law, which could not be said to be entangled, but just to find the green mother-in-law to chat, prune flowers and trees, etc., while he wandered around the green garden, and finally left quietly.
When the dragon chariot and the phoenix chariot descended from the sky, the emperor and the queen of heaven drove to the palace, and the palace was officially opened, and the guards who stopped at the door separated to both sides, and Xiahou Ling led the people of Xiahou's family to be responsible for welcoming guests at the door.
A large group of people immediately flew out of the surrounding courtyards, and a group of heavenly court ministers led their families to arrive, Xiahou Ling greeted the guests with a smile, and the guests also entered one by one with congratulatory gifts.
At the beginning of the palace, Miao Yi, who had pinched the right time, swept from the distance, landed behind the crowd outside the palace, and slowly stepped forward.
"Niu Youde..."Someone in the crowd let out a stunned and surprised sound when they saw Miao Yi.
Someone looked at him, followed his gaze again, and saw Miao Yi who was slowly following behind the crowd with a blank face.
Soon, there was silence outside the gate of the palace, and everyone who was marching stopped, and they all looked at Miao Yi.
The four families of Ying, Hao, Guang, and Kou, who had already entered the palace before everyone else, were stunned when they heard the news, and they all turned around and floated into the air, looked outside the palace gate, and sure enough, they saw Niu Youde behind.
Mei Niang and her daughter Guang Mei'er looked at each other, and Guang Mei'er's eyes flashed with surprise and surprise, and at the same time, worries emerged.
Ying Wuman, Hao Ze, Guang Junan, Kou Zheng, the four newly promoted marquis, although they are not qualified to stand in the front row in the court, they can only stand in the back, but the four represent the four heavenly kings, and their words and deeds can also represent the attitude of the four heavenly kings in the court.
Although the Four Heavenly Kings did not come to congratulate their birthdays, they can be seen from the courtesy of the ministers of the court and the four of them leading their families to enter first.
Ying Wuman, Hao Ze and Guang Junan looked at each other in surprise, Kou Zheng's face was a little gloomy, and he wondered how Miao Yi could appear in the Imperial Garden, but he didn't expect Miao Yi to come to join in the fun.
Xiahou Ling stared at Miao Yi for a moment, then fell to the ground again, as if nothing had happened, still maintaining a polite and hearty smile, and arched his hand to the people who were secretly communicating and said, "Please!
At this point, the people blocking the door realized that they had blocked the road. Continue to offer congratulatory gifts and go inside, but it is inevitable to look back from time to time, and most of them stay inside and do not continue to go deeper, waiting inside to watch.
When Miao Yi came up, Xiahou Ling looked up and down and asked with a smile: "Niu Zongzhen is here, I don't know what advice you have?"
Miao Yi arched his hand and said: "Niu happened to be in the Imperial Garden. Coincidentally, Tian Weng's birthday, Niu and Xiahou Longcheng are irreversible friends, as close as brothers, and now the ancestor of the brother's family has a big birthday, and the younger generation has bumped into Yan Neng not to come to pay respects. However, it seems that Niu is not popular, Niu is self-aware, and he is a little careful as a congratulatory gift, and I hope not to dislike it. Serve it and go, don't dare to disturb. He flipped over and took out a storage bracelet and offered it.
"The visitor is a guest, and there is no reason why a greeting guest who comes to the door with a gift is not welcome. Xiahou Lingle took the things in his hand, stretched out his hand inside, and said decisively: "Niu Zongzhen, please inside." ”
Miao Yi raised his eyes to look at the pair of eyes inside that excluded him, and seemed to be slightly hesitant to go in.
"Please!" Xiahou Ling said boldly again.
Miao Yi took a deep breath and returned the salute. It seemed that he walked in with a hard head.
In fact, he knows that as long as he pinchs this point. Under the eyes of everyone, it is unlikely that the Xiahou family will refuse to come to congratulate the guests, because the background of the Xiahou family is here, and he is not afraid of what he Miao Yi is, and he has confidence and heart!
If he was really denied entry, then he had to take another risk.
Xiahou Ling looked back and saw the attitude of the people who were secretly whispering about Miao Yi, who was slowly walking in. The meaning of rejection was too obvious, as if Miao Yi was isolated in another world, and Miao Yi was destined to be lonely when he appeared here.
He smiled faintly, turned back and continued to greet the guests.
Xiahou Hucheng, who was running errands, walked over and arched his hand towards Miao Yi and said, "Brother Niu." This side please. ”
It's really everyone's attitude towards Miao Yi is too obvious, he is worried that Miao Yi can't stand to cause something here, today is the ancestor's birthday, and Miao Yi's mention of his brother Xiahou Longcheng also moved him a lot, so he ran out to lead the way, afraid that Miao Yi would not fit in and would take him to a secluded place to rest for a while.
"Wait a minute!" Miao Yi signaled, turning his head to look at Kou Zheng in the crowd and a group of Kou family members.
Although Kou Lingxu didn't come, the immediate family members of the Kou family who had nothing to do came, Kou Zheng's family, Kou Qin's family, Kou Mian's family, and Kou Ying, Kou Qian, and Kou Yu also came with their children.
For Miao Yi, it's okay if he doesn't see it, and it's impossible to say hello if he can't see it, after all, there is still a 'name' hanging on the surface.
But after seeing Miao Yi walking towards this side, the Kou family seemed to be a little uncomfortable, including Kou Wenlan, who had a good relationship with Miao Yi, and his eyes were a little evasive. There is no way, I said hello at home, and don't have anything to do with Niu Youde in the future.
A group of brothers and sisters who were once very enthusiastic about Miao Yi and Yun Zhiqiu became extremely different in the blink of an eye.
"Big brother, second brother, third brother......" Miao Yi said hello together.
"Well, here we go. Kou Zheng nodded expressionlessly, which was a superficial gesture.
However, Kou Qin said in a deep voice: "Niu Youde, what are you doing here?"
Kou Zheng quickly grabbed his forearm, signaling not to say more, and the host had no opinion to let him in, at this time it would make people see the jokes of the Kou family.
Kou Qin seemed to be reminded and realized, so he snorted coldly and stopped talking.
Miao Yi's gaze swept across the Kou family, and found that most of the juniors' eyes were dodging and avoiding him, but Sui Chuchu looked at him with resentment in his eyes. In a blink of an eye, he understood that the Kou family had tried to prove that he had not gone to Youquan, but Kou Zheng knew that the Youquan hunt was started because of himself, and he seemed to know that Sui Chuchu seemed to know, and the pain of losing his son probably made him resentful of Miao Yi.
Miao Yi couldn't help but have a thought in his mind, if he offered Mi Wenbai's head at this time, I don't know how Sui Chuchu would react.
Miao Yi, who had a cold ass with a hot face, arched his hand up and down the Kou family again, and he did it himself, and turned away.
Witnessing such a cold reception, Xiahou Hucheng, who stretched out his hand to greet him, secretly sighed.
Guang Mei'er, who was beside Mei Niang, couldn't help but muttered to her mother, "The Kou family is too much!"
Mei Niang glanced at her, "What do you know?"
In the back garden of the palace, the green lord and the pot-bellied Xiahou Chengyu accompanied Xiahou Tuo, and the three of them walked side by side. Xiahou Tuo was also wearing a festive one, wearing a red robe.
"Be careful, be careful. Whenever he turned a corner in the corridor, Xiahou Tuo made a fuss from time to time, and reached out to support Xiahou Chengyu's arm, the baby is not good.
Although Xiahou Chengyu said that he was not so squeamish, the expression on his face was very useful, this is the head of the Xiahou family!
The three of them were chatting as they walked, and Shangguan Qing, who was not far away and followed behind, took the star bell in his hand, stepped forward quickly, and took the time to pass on the sound to the Qing Lord.
After listening to this, the green lord was happy, and his eyes turned to Xiahou Tuo, "Tianweng, who do you guess is here to celebrate your birthday?"
Xiahou Tuo shook his head with a faint and old look and said, "This old minister really can't guess, could it be that the four heavenly kings are here?"
Qing Lord: "How dare those four shrunken-headed turtles come, it's Niu Youde, the head town of the ghost city, who is here, this is a rare guest." He was a little suspicious in his heart, could it be that Niu Youde was desperate and wanted to pat the Xiahou family's sycophants and want to take refuge in the Xiahou family?
"Oh!" Xiahou Tuo suddenly realized, and nodded in an old way: "Young people have a heart, a heart." ”
"What is he doing here?" Xiahou Chengyu frowned, she knew that Niu Youde had come to the Imperial Garden, but she didn't expect Niu Youde to come to the birthday banquet to join in the fun, what did the palace guards do to eat, why did everyone let them in?
Xiahou Tuo said slowly: "Those who come are guests, and those who come are guests." There seems to be the power to appease Xiahou Chengyu in his words.
The three of them wandered around in the back garden to Shangguan Qing to remind that the auspicious time was approaching, and then walked in the direction of the main hall of the palace.
This birthday banquet is different from usual, the queen of heaven and the green lord sat side by side on the top, and did not go to the harem to entertain guests, today regardless of inside and outside, except for the concubine Zhan Ruyi who rushed back to celebrate his birthday and the group of concubines in the harem who were inconvenient to meet outsiders and stay outside the harem, the rest were gathered and seated according to the family unit.
The shadow of the Four Heavenly Kings can no longer be seen in the first place below, Mei Niang and her daughter Guang Mei'er occupy the first place, and the rest of the marshals, Xingjun and Hou Ye and the like as long as there are ladies, this time they all entered the hall together and sat aside, such as Zha Ruyan sat next to Tianmao Xingjun Pang Guan.
And Xiahou Tuo's case was placed on the top of the steps this time, with the green lord and the ministers of the palace on the side.
Outside the hall, how to arrange Miao Yi's seat is a headache for the Xiahou family, it is estimated that no one is willing to accept it, and it is not like letting him sit alone on the side, it is not the hospitality of the dignified Xiahou family.
PS: People are groggy and have stayed up for a long time to make a change, forgive me...... (To be continued.) )
