Chapter 574: The Intentions of the Imperial Family

Two hours after the grand and elaborate welcome ceremony.

The four elders of the cabinet and others were originally going to welcome Chen Ning to the Military Machinery Academy, after all, this is where the Metropolitan Governor works on weekdays, and the Metropolitan Governor has now defeated the zombie army, returned triumphantly, and returned to the Military Aircraft Academy.

But what the four elders of the cabinet did not expect was that the Queen Mother unexpectedly strongly advocated entertaining Chen Ning in the palace.

The reason for the Queen Mother is: Chen Ning is the commander of the imperial family, and now that he has returned triumphantly, he naturally wants to entertain Chen Ning with the highest treatment in the empire and hold a celebration banquet for Chen Ning, so it is most appropriate to set up a banquet in the palace.

If it were a weekday, everyone would definitely not look at the royal family with no rights and laugh at the Queen Mother's proposal. But now it's different, Chen Ning, the governor of the capital, was single-handedly supported by the royal family, and from the last general who called himself to the Queen Mother just now, everyone can feel that Chen Ning is obedient to the Queen Mother. If you don't give face to the Queen Mother, it means that you don't give face.

Now everyone doesn't want to openly tear their faces with Chen Ning, so in the end, they can only agree, in the palace, hosted by the royal family, to pick up Chen Ning's wind and wash the dust, and also to hold a celebration banquet for the triumphant return of the extraordinarily general.

This time, because of Chen Ning, the royal family has once again become the core of the empire's ownership, so it is naturally overjoyed.

The Queen Mother ordered Hai Laifu, the chief manager of the Inner House, to personally handle the celebration banquet, so as not to lose the face of the royal family.

The royal family set up a banquet of 999 tables in the palace, and a total of more than 1,000 magnates from Qinglong City were fortunate to participate in this celebration banquet to celebrate Chen Ning, Wei Qing, Kan Jing, Tears and other victorious generals.

This kind of celebration banquet is actually a social gathering for Chen Ning, Kan Jing, and Wei Qing, but it can't withstand everyone's enthusiasm, so they must participate.

During the banquet, countless people praised Chen Ning's exploits, and Qin Yingqi drank two more glasses with Luo Hu and other subordinates, boasting to everyone about how Chen Ning killed the duke and prince of the dark race, and how to defeat Xisuo and other majestic deeds, which pushed the atmosphere of the banquet to a climax, and countless people came to toast Chen Ning.

In the end, many people at the banquet were drunk.

There are also some interesting things that happened, first of all, the eldest princess Jiangling, who came to toast with Chen Ning in person, and when she toasted Chen Ning, she looked like she was affectionate, and when she drank, she had a shy expression like drinking a glass of wine, and anyone at the scene could see that the eldest princess had feelings for Chen Ning.

Another thing made Chen Ning a little embarrassed and embarrassed!

That is, not long after the eldest princess Jiangling toasted Chen Ning, Hai Laifu, the drunk chief of Dauchi, came out of nowhere, and said to Chen Ning with the smell of wine: "Chen Ning, there are some things that the old servant has wanted to say to you for a long time." ”

When everyone at the scene heard that Hai Laifu, the chief manager of Ouchi, was drunk and called Chen Ning by name, many people frowned and felt that Hai Laifu was rude.

But there were also people who sneered, such as Fu Yunfei and others, who wanted to see Chen Ning's jokes.

As long as a few people, such as Wang Boting and others, frowned slightly, they felt that this matter was a little strange, after all, it was unlikely that such a thing as the head of the Ouchi was drunk. Besides, even if Hai Laifu is drunk, but he loses his temper in front of Chen Ning, the Queen Mother will definitely let Hai Laifu be put out of the way, so as not to embarrass Hai Laifu.

But now, I obviously saw that the words and deeds of Hai Laifu, the chief manager of Da Nei, began to be rude, but the Queen Mother did not move at all, and it seemed that she had no intention of driving Hai Laifu out at all, which made Wang Boting and other old foxes involuntarily think: I'm afraid this matter is not so simple, maybe this Hai Laifu is pretending to be drunk, and it was instructed by the Queen Mother, but I don't know what the Queen Mother wants to do?

The more Chen Ning was in a high position, the more steady and generous he became, so he didn't care about Hai Laifu calling him by his name at all, but said with a smile: "If the head of Haida has any advice, the governor of Bendu is listening." ”

Hai Laifu snorted his tongue wide and snorted wine: "Chen Ning, you should remember that when Her Royal Highness the eldest princess recruited horses in White Tiger City, I personally presided over it. ”

As soon as Chen Ning heard Hai Laifu say this, he immediately became a head and two big: "Manager Haida, what do you mean by this?"

Hai Laifu was drunk, and said with a big grin: "Chen Ning, everyone understands in their hearts that in fact, you are Chen Bai, the ranger who was elected as a colleague that day, and the purple qi from the east that you cultivated was given to you by Her Royal Highness the eldest princess that day, and everyone just saw through this matter and didn't say anything." The old slave grew up in the palace, and the eldest princess also grew up under the watch, so the old slave took advantage of the drunkenness tonight and risked being killed, and he had the courage to ask Chen Ning a sentence, when did you express your sincere feelings when the eldest princess gave you the purple qi donglai recipe?"

As soon as everyone heard Hai Laifu's words, they instantly understood that Hai Laifu was here to force the palace, and they also understood what the Queen Mother meant.

In the past, Chen Ning was still in the development stage, and the royal family was not in a hurry to promote the marriage between Chen Ning and Jiangling, but now, Chen Ning's strength and power and prestige have reached a new height, and now the title of a royal general makes the royal family feel that the relationship with Chen Ning is no longer strong enough, and it has not reached that inseparable level.

Therefore, turning such a powerful Chen Ning into the royal family's own person completely is the top priority of the royal family at the moment.

How can Chen Ning become a complete royal family's own person, that is, of course, to implement Chen Ning's marriage contract with Jiangling, so that Chen Ning can truly become the royal family's concubine. The colt is naturally a complete royal family member!

These words are naturally what the Queen Mother meant, but the Queen Mother had no reason to talk to Chen Ning like this back then, in case Chen Ning refused to comply, then each other's faces would not look good, so the Queen Mother would let Hai Laifu pretend to be drunk tonight, and say what the Queen Mother wanted to say to Chen Ning, forcing Chen Ning to make a statement.

Hai Laifu's words were completely unexpected by Chen Ning, he instantly became embarrassed, even if he was the Grand Governor, he was a little at a loss at this time, after all, Jiang Ling found out his identity that day, not only did he not expose him, but also gave him the purple qi donglai formula, this friendship, Chen Ning himself felt very heavy.

However, Chen Ning had Kan Jing in his heart, so naturally he couldn't make indiscriminate promises to Jiangling, so it was difficult to ride a tiger for a while.

At the scene, the originally cold expression of tears seemed to become colder after glancing at Hai Laifu.

Kan Jing also raised his heroic eyebrows, and it was difficult to hide the anger in his eyes.

Qin Que looked at Chen Ning, thoughtful, and stunned.

Chen Ning's group of subordinates looked at each other, and they couldn't figure it out for a while, whether this was a good thing or a bad thing?

However, Chen Ning's embarrassment only lasted for a few seconds, and then he put on a majestic reprimand: "Mr. Hai, you are so bold, you dare to be rude to the Metropolitan Governor, who gave you such courage?"

When everyone heard this cold voice, they were all startled, and they all looked in the direction where the voice came from, and found that it was the eldest princess Jiangling who was wearing a palace dress and a long skirt, and came back again after going to touch up her makeup.

Hai Laifu forced Chen Ning to express his position, which was completely the intention of the Queen Mother. But he didn't expect that Jiangling would stand up and help Chen Ning break the siege and reprimand him for his faux pas......s, he was stupid for a while, looked at Jiangling, and said hesitantly: "Your Royal Highness, eldest princess"

Jiang Ling said coldly: "It seems that you are not completely drunk, let me go out and think about it, if it weren't for the sake of you serving the royal family for decades, I would never be spared tonight!"

The Queen Mother was also forced to stand up at this time, and came over to scold Hai Laifu: "Shameful guy, don't retreat!"

"Yes, yes, the old servant will step aside!"

Hai Laifu was sweating profusely, as if he had just woken up, and retreated in embarrassment.

Gangneung raised his glass and apologized to everyone, saying that it was a joke for everyone to see.

Everyone had different thoughts, and it was not surprising that the head of the sea was just drunk and talking nonsense, and that things often happened at banquets.

Jiang Ling finally apologized to Chen Ning in a whisper, but looking at Chen Ning's eyes, he was very resentful, Chen Ning was not afraid of the ground, and he was a little afraid to look at the resentful Jiang Ling at this time.

Finally, the banquet ended, Chen Ning pretended to be overwhelmed and asked his subordinates to help him go back to rest.

When he left the table, Makino came to Chen Ning's side quietly, and said to Chen Ning in a low voice: "Grand Governor, confidential information, when the cabinet holds a meeting tomorrow, a group of guys in the cabinet will end in a wartime state of the empire, and propose to ban the position of Grand Governor, you need to be prepared in advance." ”
