Chapter 220: The Banquet of the King's Mansion
Yonghui lay at home for several months before he completely healed the frontal wound in his intimate parts. Despite his well, he still locked himself in his home and refused to go out. First, maybe it's because of the pain of losing a brother, and secondly, it's probably really faceless.
After the incident, the king was furious, and he hated to investigate everyone involved, everything, upside down, however, he couldn't make too big a move, after all, he had no reason to do it first.
If the matter of him making small moves behind his back to protect his son is really publicized, I am afraid that if the emperor knows, he can be punished.
However, after learning that all the people he had bought off had disappeared without a trace, the king naturally knew that someone had stabbed him in the back, but there was no way to investigate, because the two men who were executed had disappeared, and there was no way to find them, along with their families.
Yonghui naturally held back his strength and wanted to take revenge on the Gao brothers and sisters and the six princes, but under the persuasion of the prince, he endured it.
The six words "wait for the best time" became a mantra that Yonghui never forgot throughout the day.
Finally, he was looking forward to that day......
When Xi Yao finished the day's consultation in the Jishi Medical Center and walked out of the cubicle, he was seeing the sixth prince Chu Yi walking over here, holding a red envelope in his hand, "I just met you, guess what I brought?" ”
Xi Yao was stunned for a moment, and glanced down, the envelope looked like an invitation or something, "Where did the invitation come from?" Xi Yao asked. (.)
The sixth prince raised it and shook it, and then handed it to Xi Yao, "The invitation card of the Wangwang's Mansion is scheduled for five days later." ”
"Oh? What about the king's mansion? Xi Yao asked subconsciously, opened it and saw that it was really covered with the big seal of the Emperor's Mansion.
"This is what I received, and I want to come, and your general's mansion can also receive it. This banquet is the 60th birthday of the king, and the old guy also personally went to the front of his father to ask for the will, and the father also gave him face, and wrote the word "longevity" in his own hand and ordered someone to frame it, and he wanted to send it to his house on the day of the king's birthday. ”
"The king is cheeky to ask the emperor for things, this is not his usual style of doing things, the reason why he does this is just to prove in front of everyone that he is still valuable in the eyes of the emperor, and their palace will not be affected in the slightest because of such a little twist and turn. His son's affairs will not shake the status of the Emperor's Mansion in the emperor's heart in the slightest......" Xi Yao briefly analyzed.
"It's okay if it's really that simple, I'm afraid there is a deep meaning behind this......" A voice suddenly sounded, and the two turned around and saw that it was Bai Moyang walking towards this side from the end of the corridor.
"Big brother, have you heard about it too?" Xi Yao stepped forward to greet him.
Bai Moyang nodded, "Such a big thing, if King Yu can't pass it on to the people of the entire Great Zhou Dynasty as soon as possible, it's hard for me to think clearly." ”
"What does Brother Weiguang mean?"
"I'm worried that the Wang's Mansion will make a name for itself by taking advantage of this banquet......
Xi Yao nodded, "Only in this way can things be straightened out, otherwise, how could King Yu, who had just lost face in front of the people of the city, go to His Majesty so quickly with a thick old face to ask for something?" Now that even the Lord Banzai has personally rewarded the things, other officials naturally dare not sell the king's face, coupled with his domineering status in the court for so many years, presumably this turmoil in Yonghui will soon be calmed down. ”
"The turmoil will subside, and this mark will forever be imprinted in the hearts of the people of the Wangfu." The Sixth Prince said.
Bai Moyang nodded, "So, this banquet will definitely not be simple...... I'm afraid it's specially prepared for us! ”
With only five days to go, it would be too tight to investigate what was waiting for them from now on.
Time was fleeting, four days of rain and rain, and when it came to the fifth day of the banquet, the sun was shining brightly, the weather was fine, and God was selling the king's face.
When Xi Yao and Bai Moyang got out of the carriage, they saw Yonghui standing on the inside of the mansion gate to greet the prince at first glance. The two stood opposite each other and talked happily, and behind the prince, the entourage brought a lot of gifts.
After the prince entered the courtyard, Yonghui walked towards this side as if he had just seen Xi Yao and Bai Moyang, with a smile on his face that could not see the cracks, and there was not the slightest unnaturalness on his face, "It turned out that General Gao's Miss Gongzi arrived, it was really a disappointment, I haven't seen her for many days, Miss Gao is becoming more and more beautiful and moving......"
"The prince of Yonghui is too modest, the little woman knows that her qualifications are mediocre, and she can't stand such praise from the prince."
"Yes, how can the little sister Pu Liu's posture afford such a ridiculous praise from the world? If someone else hears it, I'm afraid they will laugh at our general's mansion. Bai Moyang took a step forward, and slowly blocked in front of Xi Yao between movements, faintly forming a confrontation with Yonghui.
"Son, the plaque given by His Majesty has been sent, and the prince asked you to hurry up to greet it." The words of the housekeeper on the side interrupted the strange atmosphere here, Yonghui smiled slightly, then nodded at Xi Yao and Bai Moyang, and turned around.
Looking at the other party's distant back, the corners of Xi Yao's mouth hooked, "I was so seriously injured, but I didn't walk lame for a month, it's really capable!" She couldn't help but give the other party a thumbs up.
Bai Moyang's face was full of black lines, and he almost didn't stretch out his hand to block Xi Yao's mouth, he really caught a chicken for his girlfriend's IQ, what if this was in his own house? Is this a public place?
Xi Yao obviously realized that she was talking too loudly, stuck out her tongue and smiled, ignored Bai Moyang, and walked straight towards the mansion.
The banquet is set up in a hall in the outer courtyard, from the courtyard began to arrange, the fiery red blanket has been laid from the courtyard gate to the hall, a lively color, the octagonal lamp is hung high, each lamp is inlaid with a big "longevity" word with gold thread, under the illumination of the sun, it is brilliant and dazzling.
Xi Yao secretly slandered in her heart: Where is this sixty birthday? It's just showing off your wealth!
The people passing by by obviously thought so, because in their impression, King Yi had always been very low-key in terms of wealth, and had never been so revealed, and the decoration of the birthday banquet was so luxurious and gorgeous today, which shocked everyone.
"Alright, don't look around, we'll have business to do later. Gather your energy first and wait to see them act. Bai Moyang pulled Xi Yao's sleeve, and the two laughed and walked inside.
One was not careful, the six princes hurried up, and the three of them walked side by side to the inside, "Brother Weiguang, you are really not interesting, you said yesterday that you should come over together, you will release my pigeon today, and I will wait for you in the hospital for a long time." ”
"Your Highness, my little sister has been at home for too long, and then I estimated that the time was almost up, thinking that His Highness would come first, this time it was our brother and sister, and it was a big deal for His Highness to let me go once in the future......"
The voices of the three people gradually diffused in the air, and in the corner of the courtyard corridor, a pair of dark eyes followed the backs of the three people for a long time, eerie like a cold wind in winter.
