In June Wushen, Zhu Youzhu ordered a dinner banquet to invite envoys from all over the west to the banquet hall of the Huitong Pavilion. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Li Mu'er and the others arrived at the back hall one hour in advance according to the etiquette system to wait for the holy car.

All the envoys were gathered here, all dressed and in good spirits.

Li Mu'er was no exception, she sat not far from Manraka and looked at everyone from time to time.

Someone in the corner is whispering:

"In previous years, we gave rewards first and then gave banquets, why did the emperor invite us to a banquet so early this time?"

"Who's to say it isn't! Hey, you said the emperor wouldn't tell us to come back empty-handed after eating, right? ”

"I don't think so, we have traveled a long way to pay tribute, and it took more than two months just to travel, and I don't care about waiting for these days."

"That's right, it's comfortable to live in the same hall, and the emperor didn't snub me and wait."

Li Mu'er listened to these gossips, and Manraka naturally heard them. He was immediately dissatisfied: "Hmph, it's been a few days, when will the emperor's reward come down?" You scumbags, you know how to chew your tongue behind your back, and you can just ask the emperor directly at the banquet later! ”

The crowd was silent for a moment.

Li Mu'er sneered inappropriately.

Manha's anger suddenly shifted to Li Mu'er, pointed at her nose and shouted, "Menomaka, what are you laughing at, rabbit cub?"

Li Mu'er took a sip of tea and said slowly: "My lord is so arrogant!" is worthy of being a person from Yongchang Mansion, his family background is thick enough, and his waist board is hard enough. We who came out of small families naturally didn't dare to question the emperor in person! ”

"That's it, that's it." There is a little echo harmony next to it.

Manraha only became more and more dissatisfied: "You kid has something to say, can't I hear it?" What exactly are you trying to say? ”

Li Mu'er raised her eyes and looked at him without fear and said, "What I want to say has already been said, don't you understand?" We are still waiting for the emperor's reward, but we don't dare to anger the emperor. It's not like your Yongchang Mansion, your family is big, and you probably won't care about that thing. ”

"You!" Man Raha only slapped the table hard and stood up, "Okay, I treat you as a soft persimmon, but it turns out that you are a guy who doesn't know whether to live or die!" Dare to be sarcastic, look at how I clean you up! ”

Seeing that he was about to rush over, Li Mu'er still looked like a dead pig was not afraid of boiling water, staring straight at him.

At this time, the old man who was sitting next to Manraka and his gang suddenly stood up and grabbed him.

It was the old man who had persuaded him before.

The old man was kind-eyed, and although he was older than everyone here, he did not lose his elegance.

Li Mu'er has naturally understood that this person is an official of the Mu Tusi Yamen of Lijiang Prefecture, Mu Yan. He is a close friend of Mutai, the prefect of Mufu, and he is also the most powerful subordinate.

Manraha only had to give him some thin noodles.

"Alright, it's time for the feast, let's put out the fire." Mu Yan stood in the middle and said lightly.

Manraha only snorted and returned to his seat.

Li Mu'er got up and bowed to Mu Yan, and chatted: "I have always heard that Master Mutai of Lijiang Prefecture is proficient in Chinese, and fortunately, he is rich in poetry and songs. Seeing that the popularity of the adults is extraordinary, presumably there is no need to worry about the wine order at today's banquet. ”

"What liquor order?" Before Mu Yan could answer, Man Raha just hurriedly asked.

Someone next to him immediately replied: "The wine order is a poem or couplet, a word guess or a riddle or something." This is fashionable in the capital, and the emperor also told me to wait and prepare. ”

Li Mu'er naturally took over the conversation, "Yes, I sent someone to inform me yesterday." Hey, my lord, you haven't heard the news of the big fish and meat outside, have you? ”

Manrakha's anger was provoked again, and he said angrily: "What a mess, we can't even speak Chinese, and we still chant what poems to what pairs!"

"Adults don't have to worry, it's just a pleasure on the wine table, the emperor said it, it's okay to use the clan language, and you can still make it fresh!" Li Mu'er turned another corner, "Won't you?" Do you want to teach you a little lesson? ”

"You!"

Someone in the corner had already begun to laugh, and it seemed to be a woman's voice. Manraha could only hear his chest throze and his fists clenched.

Li Mu'er raised the corners of her mouth, and turned to Mu Yan respectfully: "I love these tricks, so I will ask Master Mu for advice at this time, so as not to lose face in front of everyone at the banquet, and the emperor will fall in front of him."

Mu Yan bowed his jaw and said, "Please."

"It's just a scolding and beating a monk, this and this, if you slander the saint and slander the sage," Li Mu'er paused, only glanced at Manrakha, and continued, "That's worth it." ”

Mu Yan pondered and continued: "But eating meat and drinking wine, that's it, if you have a bad heart and a bad heart, what about it."

Manrakha's face was no longer eye-catching, and the few people who followed him still wanted to persuade him: "It's a big deal, let's just not talk at the banquet for a while."

was scolded by him and turned back.

It was Mu Yan's turn: "The big belly can tolerate things that are intolerable in the world."

Li Mu'er continued: "When you open your face, you will laugh at the ridiculous people in the world." and came out again, "Good repays evil and repays the cycle of fruits, how to not report the morning and evening newspapers." ”

Mu Yan linked: "The famous field is nothing more than a theater, and the upper and lower performances are all on the spot."

Manraha slapped his palm on the arm of his chair.

Everyone was stunned, and before anyone could speak, they heard a voice from outside the door:

"The emperor has a decree to send all the envoys to meet you!"

The crowd breathed a sigh of relief and got up and went to the banquet hall.

Only Manrakha and a group of more than a dozen people did not move.

The corners of Li Mu'er's mouth curled almost invisibly, and she stood in place and said respectfully: "Why don't you move?" The smaller ones have to go one step ahead. ”

"You stop Lao Tzu!" Manraha only said angrily.

Li Mu'er ignored him and moved by himself. When he was about to arrive at the door, the official of the Ministry of Rites outside came in and shouted, "Lord Manra, please hurry up, the emperor has already entered the table."

Manraha only shouted loudly at the officials: "Lao Tzu is not going!" The emperor's reward has not yet arrived, and Lao Tzu is not uncommon to eat this meal! ”

"You're disrespectful!"

"Lao Tzu resisted, what's the matter! Meno Maka, Lao Tzu told you to get back! ”

As soon as Li Mu'er stretched out his foot and collapsed the door, he heard the sound of Manra Ha getting closer and closer, and finally stopped in his ear, and then he was slapped the back and fell out of the door.

"Manrakha, why are you still beating people? Are you going to rebel? The official of the Ministry of Rites rushed out while scolding, and he didn't want to help Li Mu'er. Li Mu'er endured the pain and turned around, and was punched in the face by Manraka who only grabbed the collar and punched her.

"You kid dare to mess with me? If I don't give you some color today, I won't know how good you are, grandpa! ”

Half of Li Mu'er's face immediately swollen, the corners of her nose and mouth were bloody, and she couldn't speak in pain.

Fortunately, his colleagues saw that the big thing was not good, and if he continued to make trouble, he was afraid that he would not be able to save his head, so he hurriedly pulled and persuaded him, and dragged him up to death.

Manrakha is only surging in blood, where is he willing to give up easily, and he will rush up again with cruel words.

But his wrist was suddenly choked by someone.

He hissed in pain, broke free and fought with the man.

Li Mu'er squinted, it turned out to be Ma Cong, he must have rushed over faster than others, so it was time for him to arrive, right?

"The emperor has arrived!"

"Stop me."

Sure enough, as soon as Li Mu'er thought like this, Zhu Youzhu walked briskly from the banquet hall surrounded by everyone.

Manraha only hurriedly stopped and knelt down to greet him.

Li Mu'er spat out a mouthful of blood, which was mixed with teeth. She was not in a hurry, slowly propped herself up with her hands, and knelt down with difficulty but consciously, only to find that Zhu Youzhu had already walked in front of her.

Li Mu'er couldn't look up at him, and for a moment of silence around, she only heard her own blood dripping on the ground, making a crisp "ticking" sound.

The next moment, the officials of the Ministry of Rites began to impeach: "Your Majesty, this Manraka and others not only did not go to the holy banquet without giving a reward, but even beat up their colleagues, which is really unreasonable and intolerable to the law!" Your Majesty, what do you think should be done? ”

Zhu Youzhu didn't reply for a long time, but Man Raha only began to quibble: "The emperor clearly investigated, it was that kid who provoked Weichen first!"

"The adults resist the decree and refuse to go to the banquet, why is it to blame?" Li Mu'er slurred her speech.

Zhu Youzhu snorted coldly and said lightly: "Manrakha only waits for others, transgressing the courtesy and violating the law, and the crime is not forgiven, and he will be immediately detained to the Ministry of Rites."

Li Mu'er was a little surprised, didn't she tell him that no matter what happened, he had to let go of Manlaha, how could he ......

Secretly raised his eyes to look at him, only to see his rare anger, and his fists were clenched tightly.

The people were quickly carried away by the brocade guards, and the envoys everywhere looked at the captured Manraka with excitement and excitement, and looked at Li Mu'er with sympathetic eyes.

Li Mu'er could only wait for Zhu Youzhi to allow her to be flattened. But there was no movement for a long time.

It wasn't until Manrakha waited for someone to cry out for mercy that he heard him say, "Where is the doctor?" Didn't you tell you to go to the nearest doctor? Why haven't you come yet! ”

It was obviously an urgent tone, but it was suppressed in a low tone.

"Your Majesty, the doctor is here!"

"Don't help it in yet." Zhu Youzhu said and brushed his sleeves away. Li Mu'er thought he was going back to the palace, but who expected him to walk all the way to her room.

Fortunately, the envoys did not follow, otherwise he was seen to find her room and enter the door before her, but there were really a few mouths that could not be explained.

The doctor simply treated Li Mu'er's wound, and stuffed a ball of cotton into her lost tooth, which was waved away by Zhu Youji.

Li Mu'er's face was swollen and she couldn't speak, so she had to look at him in embarrassment.

He was wearing a banquet costume and looked high, and Li Mu'er actually felt a little afraid.

Especially after discovering the anger in his eyes that seemed to be about to erupt if he was not careful.

Her head couldn't help but hurt again.

I simply raised my hand three or two times to untie the head cloth, and I felt a little more relaxed.

She threw the bunhead cloth on the table, saw the paper and pen on the table, took it casually, and wrote: Fortunately, the envoys had to hand over their weapons before entering the guild hall.

Zhu Youzhu looked at her embarrassed appearance and messy handwriting, took a breath and said sullenly: "You said you have a way, is it to fight with him?"

What fights and brawls? Li Mu'er frowned and continued to write: I didn't hit him. I didn't expect him to dare to do it. But it's better that way.

"You!" Zhu Youji's eyes moved from the paper to her cheeks, and seeing that she was still smiling openly, she became more and more angry, "You really deserve it, it's good to kill you." Now that it's over, follow me back to the palace. ”

Li Mu'er spit out the cotton in her mouth and said hurriedly: "No, it's not over yet." How can he accept such a pass? You let him go, let him come back and pack up his things and fuck off, I'm going to wait for him here. ”

Zhu Youzhu observed her carefully and made sure that there was no more bleeding before replying: "You're not afraid that he will beat you again?"

"No, although he is confused, he still cares about his position. Besides, if I don't settle up with him here, I'm afraid he'll be in trouble with Rimasi when he returns. Li Mu'er pointed her fingers at the table and said vaguely.

Zhu Youzhu shook his head helplessly, got up and stroked her wounds, and suddenly said, "Being beaten like this, why don't you say anything?"

Li Mu'er was a little distracted, his eyes were obviously as light as water, but she seemed to see the light, and she didn't know how to reply, and she didn't know how to look away.

Zhu Youzhu didn't notice her abnormality, put down his hand and walked to the door, and said hatefully as he walked: "Then I will also lock him up for a few days first."

"Why?" Li Muer asked him behind his back.

"Because," Zhu Youzhu stretched out his hand to pull the door, and the creak of the door opening drowned out his voice,

"He hit you."
