Chapter 80: Preparations for the Banquet
Early in the morning, Zhou Xin stood outside Ruan Ge's door, looking at the shadows of the trees projected on the ground, and stared at them.
Ronghua is also abnormal today, and it also got up very early. He walked into the courtyard where Ruan Ge was resting, and saw Zhou Xin standing at the door in a daze, so he paced over. Closed the fan, patted Zhou Xin's shoulder, and said, "Since when, when did our deputy master have such a lonely expression?" It's embarrassing! ”
Zhou Xin raised his head, looked around quickly, and then glared at Rong Hua fiercely, warning him with his eyes to be careful when he spoke.
Ronghua unfolded the folding fan and said nonchalantly: "Don't worry, this is my place, don't be so careful." ”
Zhou Xin said with a cold face: "It's better to be careful, if there is a mistake, see what I do to you!" ”
Ronghua had no choice but to smile and said, "Okay, okay, I hate your serious appearance the most." How? Hasn't Ruan Yatou gotten up yet? ”
Zhou Xin glanced at Ruan Ge's door and said, "I may have been tired yesterday, let her sleep a little longer." ”
"Yesterday, how could it be that Ah Yan sent her back? Didn't you say that you were robbed by Ning Mingchen halfway? What's going on here? Ronghua frowned and said incomprehensibly.
"Last night, she didn't return overnight, she was really anxious, but fortunately, Ruan Yatou came back, and my hanging heart was finally let go. However, Ning Mingchen, this kid was actually gonorrhea and was bedridden, although I was more than happy, it was still very strange! Ronghua stood there chattering.
At this moment, I heard the door creak, and an impatient voice came from the room.
"Ronghua, when did you become a Tang monk? Babbling, I can't sleep any longer, you are standing in front of my door with a heart. Ruan Ge put on a robe, his hair was scattered, and he yawned and walked out of the room.
Seeing this, Zhou Xin hurriedly turned his back and avoided looking at Ruan Ge. Ronghua was a little startled at first, but quickly calmed down and shook his fan with a smile on his face.
Ronghua smiled and said to Ruan Ge: "Ruan girl, are you up?" How did you sleep last night? ”
Listening to Rong Hua's innocuous question, Ruan Ge pursed his lips: "Okay, do you think I'll believe that you came here to ask these questions?" ”
Ronghua coughed twice, indicating acquiescence.
Ruan Ge glanced at Zhou Xin, who turned his back next to him, and asked, "Ah Xin, did you have anything to do with coming to me so early?" ”
Zhou Xin said in a deep voice: "Miss Hui Ruan, yesterday the palace passed down the holy decree of the palace banquet, and the subordinate came to pay tribute to the girl. ”
"What palace feast? What's going on in this palace? Holding a banquet at every turn, it really seems that this silver is blown by a strong wind. Ruan Ge said impatiently with his hands on his shoulders.
Zhou Xin replied: "In order to welcome the envoy of the feudal country, the emperor held a dinner today, and specially invited the girl. ”
Ruan Ge yawned, turned around and said, "You should at least let me change my clothes, and I'll talk about it later." ”
Ronghua saw that Ruan Ge was going back to the room, and hurriedly asked, "Ge'er, what did you mean by 'Tang Seng' just now?" ”
Ruan Ge turned his head and chuckled: "Tang Seng, he is a very nagging monk!" ”
Rong Hua frowned when he heard this: "Monk? Isn't that a monk? ”
Ruan Ge added: "But he is a very handsome monk! After saying that, he smiled and went back to the room and closed the door.
Ronghua said to himself: "Say that I am Tang Seng, handsome monk ......" Thinking about it, Ronghua suddenly smiled, he approached Zhou Xin on the side, and asked with a happy face: "Hey, I said, are you saying that Ge'er is praising my handsomeness in disguise?" ”
Zhou Xin turned around and walked out of the courtyard expressionlessly, and dropped a sentence: "Dream!" ”
Rong Hua suddenly pointed to Zhou Xin's back and said, "Hmph, jealousy, you are purely jealous." ”
Ning Mingchen leaned on the bed, and after drinking the medicine, his face had eased a lot. Zhu Feng stood respectfully in front of his couch.
"Did she go back?" Ning Mingchen asked in a deep voice for a long time.
Zhu Feng paused and said, "Miss Ruan has been sent back to Prince Ronghua's courtyard safe and sound. ”
Ning Mingchen half-closed his eyes and said slowly: "It was the second prince who sent her back?" In fact, the answer in his mind was very clear.
Zhu Feng looked at his prince with such an expression, but he could only answer truthfully: "Yes." Then he said: "Lord, you are really ...... for a woman" The rest of the words were not spoken.
Ning Mingchen was silent for a long time and said, "It's nothing, go down." ”
Zhu Feng understands Ning Mingchen's temper, but this kind of thing is simply impossible for Ning Mingchen in the past. Although Ning Mingchen also lingers in the flowers, goes in and out of the Goolan Washe, there are many women around him. But Zhu Feng knows best that it is all a scene, and some of them are indispensable means. But this time their prince made him deeply worried, obviously he had fallen into the whirlpool of feelings, but he didn't want to jump out.
Zhu Feng said again: "There is a banquet in the palace today, and the emperor wants to invite Wu Kun, the envoy of the Fengli State, and the holy decree went down to the palace yesterday." However, yesterday, when he saw that the prince was in poor health, his subordinates blocked it for the prince. ”
"Well, okay, let's go down." Ning Mingchen didn't say anything, and said with his eyes closed.
"The subordinate has retired." Zhu Feng stepped back, turned around and prepared to leave.
I heard Ning Mingchen suddenly ask, "Can you also invite Ge'er?" ”
Zhu Feng paused and replied truthfully: "I heard that Gonggong Li, who came to deliver the decree, said that the emperor loves Miss Ruan very much, and he also made an exception to invite her. ”
Ning Mingchen opened his eyes when he heard this, and said in a deep voice: "I ordered to go down and prepare for me, I want to go to tonight's palace banquet." "There was a fire in his eyes, just ready to burn at the moment.
Uncle Qin stood quietly beside the bookcase.
Ning Mingyu was leaning over to practice calligraphy.
Uncle Qin looked at his own prince, he seemed to be in a good mood today, and the state of being ill for a long time seemed to be suddenly gone, his eyes were radiant, the corners of his mouth were clearly with a shallow smile, and his pen was also smooth, all in one go.
Since his own prince came back yesterday afternoon, he has maintained this state, and the people who serve him are deeply surprised.
No matter what the reason is, as long as the prince is happy, it is better than anything else, Uncle Qin thought to himself.
Thinking of the holy decree in the palace yesterday, Uncle Qin spoke: "Today's banquet for Wu Kun, is the prince interested in attending?" If I don't do it as usual, I'll refuse, anyway, the prince is still in the recuperation stage today, and the emperor won't think much about it. ”
Ning Mingyu picked up the pen and was thinking about what to write, after listening to Uncle Qin's words, he thought for a while and said, "Don't refuse, this king will enter the palace for a banquet tonight." ”
As he spoke, the pen in his hand unconsciously wrote a word on the paper.
Uncle Qin saw that it was clearly a 'song'.
Ning Mingyu also noticed what he wrote, and hurriedly explained: "It's the 'song' of the ode." ”
Uncle Qin tried his best to hold back a smile, and said in his heart: "My lord, who asked you if you are Ruan Ge's 'song', or what song's song?" You are such a smart person, and you actually made the mistake of not having three hundred taels of silver here. ”
