CHAPTER XXIII

Chen Huan came back when the painting boat arrived in Liuhua Bay, her cheeks were red, her eyes were spring, and she entered the cabin and saw the Zhuo sisters frowning, although I saw that she was a little uncomfortable, but I felt that the more people there were tonight, the better, so I suppressed the unhappiness in my heart, and quietly picked up the tea and drank it slowly. Chen Huan walked up to Chen Xie and Zhuo Yuting in two steps www.biquge.info and glared at Zhuo Yuting fiercely: "I don't seem to have invited Miss Zhuo to come?" Zhuo Yuting's face turned red: "My boat accidentally hit this ship just now, I came over to apologize, and when I saw that the prince was alone, I thought about chatting with the prince to relieve my boredom." "God knows how you could hit my boat, and how can Brother Wang be alone, obviously ......" Chen Huan suddenly stopped halfway through speaking, she looked at me unnaturally, and she couldn't talk anymore, plus it had been a long time since the Zhuo sisters got on the boat before she appeared, and her whereabouts couldn't stand the scrutiny of others, at this time she was a little discouraged, so she no longer paid attention to Zhuo Yuting.

It just so happened that the guards outside came in and reported that the best docking position had been occupied, and the ship was hanging the royal flag of the King of Handan, Chen Xie said expressionlessly, "I know" Soon the boat stopped, and after a while, a sound of footsteps came, followed by someone into the cabin: "Brother Wang, sure enough, it's you, I came a little early, please go to my boat for a small gathering, who else is there, ah, it's Huan Mei, Princess Pingyang and the two young ladies of the Zhuo family, let's go over together......" It was Chen Pu who came in, and he greeted everyone warmly, Chen Xie also responded with a smile, I wish I could go over, the more people there are, the safer it is for me.

They exchanged a few polite words to each other, and finally everyone decided to go over together, so they followed Chen Pu on his boat, but found that there were a lot of guards standing on the side of the ship, I was shocked to see it, Chen Pu and Chen Xie were fighting for the throne, and they would not be black at this time, Chen Xie seemed to be unconscious, and walked towards the cabin with a calm expression, I followed everyone into the cabin with a nervous mood, and found that there were already people in the cabin.

The seat has been set up in the cabin, and there is a man in his forties sitting on the main seat, he wears a golden crown with tied hair, a white pan-necked narrow-sleeved deep coat, and a purple middle-sleeved rectangular collar straight cardigan, with a dark complexion and a burly figure. Everyone didn't dare to take a closer look, so they hurriedly stepped forward and saluted to see King Yan, who drank the wine in the cup, laughed, and let everyone be exempt, so everyone found their own seats and sat down. Chen Xie's brothers have a seat, Chen Huan and I have a seat, and the Zhuo sisters have a seat.

Everyone sat down, there were people who came up with wine and food, and then there were courtesans who came up to sing, the atmosphere was a little solemn at first, after listening to a few tunes, the atmosphere in the cabin began to relax, I chatted with Chen Huan in a low voice, Chen Huan whispered to me that the woman who was held in the arms of King Yan was the newly sealed Concubine Li, it is said that she was the youngest concubine in the palace, and she was favored by King Yan. I looked at Concubine Li's eyes, sure enough, although she looked very beautiful, but there was still a trace of childishness on her face, and she was still a child who had not grown up, and I heard that several beauties in the palace had recently been under fifteen years old, and King Yan only had fun with these beauties every day all night, and all state affairs were handed over to the prince and the king of Handan, and some courtiers advised them to be beaten out.

The ship was hung with the royal flag of the king of Handan, and after a while, there was an endless stream of people coming to visit, because the king of Yan was obviously not willing to be disturbed by the visit, so Chen Pu ordered people to refuse one by one. Chen Huan and I sat on the seat opposite the prince and the king of Handan, and as soon as we looked up, we could see their expressions, and the two of them talked and laughed happily, but I could clearly see a trace of pride in Chen Pu's eyes, Chen Xie didn't see anything unusual on his face, but he always clenched the wine glass in his hand tightly.

When he finally arrived, there was a sound of gongs and drums outside, so Chen Pu stopped singing and dancing, ordered someone to open the window of the painting boat, and the people moved the banquet to the window, and everyone followed to sit down again, through the open window, you can have an unobstructed view of the stage in front of you.

The competition began, the girls from the flower buildings rushed to the stage to perform, nothing more than some singing and dancing, and there was nothing new, I was not interested in watching it for a while, so I had to sit aside, Yan Wang hugged Concubine Li and pointed at the stage from time to time to say and laugh, and the rest of the people occasionally whispered, and did not dare to be too noisy. I drank the tea slowly with the teacup in my hand, so as not to fall asleep, and I did not dare to drink for fear that I would get drunk. Chen Xie's seat is on my left hand, Chen Huan and Chen Pu are separated between us, he occasionally turns his head to look at me, Chen Huan, who is sitting with me, is already drunk, and is lying on the small table and falling asleep soundly, there are maids who come up to help her down to rest, but I don't dare to leave, although this is not Chen Xie's boat, but I am also afraid that I will be alone again, give him a chance.

I watched the singing and dancing on the stage with two eyes, but my mind kept thinking about today's events, it seems that Chen Xie and Chen Huan, brother and sister, cooperated to coax me onto the boat, thanks to the appearance of the Zhuo sisters, otherwise I don't know what will happen. Although I have avoided the past today, what should I do in the future? I can't help but have a headache when I think about it.

When I was thinking about it, someone sat down next to me, I was surprised, but it was Chen Pu, although I often met him, but I was not familiar with him, he arched his hand to me, and I smiled at him out of courtesy. He gently put the wine glass in his hand on the small table, and did not make a sound, just put one hand on his lap and beat gently to the rhythm of singing and dancing, at this time Zhuo Yuting, who was sitting on my right hand, stood up and walked quickly to the original Chen Pu's seat and sat down, that seat was with Chen Xi, but under him. I saw Zhuo Yuting holding a wine glass and toasting Chen Xie. I am very relieved to have her pestering Chen Xie, and it is estimated that Chen Xie has no energy to harass me, so I can't help but breathe a sigh of relief. But I heard a light laugh from beside me, I turned my head sideways, it was Chen Pu, I remembered that this is not a trouble-free master, and I couldn't help frowning slightly.

Chen Pu leaned over and whispered to me: "Princess Pingyang, I'm very nervous tonight, do you need the king's help?" This king is very willing. After saying that, he laughed, I was shocked, and I saw Chen Xie looking at us with a calm face, I secretly complained in my heart, I didn't want to get involved in the struggle between the two brothers, so I said to Chen Pu expressionlessly: "Thank you, no need." Chen Pu still said with a smile: "The princess doesn't have to be polite, if it is useful in the future, although the princess speaks, the king will be waiting at any time." When he had said this, he turned away from me and began to make small talk, and out of politeness I had to gossip with him without saying a word.

Zhuo Yuting has never moved since she sat next to Chen Xie, so Chen Pu sat next to me until the end, I was very uncomfortable, but he was in a good mood and was smiling all the time.

I spent the night in agony, and the men were drunk and drunk, and I was so tired of it that I swore that I would never come again. After the party, I returned to Chen Huan's painting boat with Chen Xie, Chen Huan and the Zhuo sisters, and Chen Pu escorted King Yan back to the palace.

Chen Huan slept for a while, woke up with wine, and Zhuo Yuting fought a few words and happily got off the boat and left, Chen Xie said that he wanted to send me back to the house, at this time Zhuo Yuting squeezed over, pestering Chen Xie to escort him, I warmly invited her to accompany him, so that the four of us got into the carriage together, I sat alone in a corner of the carriage, far away from them, squinting and pretending to sleep, only Zhuo Yuting was chattering alone in the carriage, I don't know where she got such good energy, She didn't seem to stop the whole night, I peeked at Liu Xie's face and seemed to be a little safe, and I secretly had fun in my heart, let's see what it feels like to be pestered!

The car soon arrived at the gate of my house, I said goodbye to everyone, entered the house under the attention of Liu Xie, and then couldn't help but breathe a long sigh of relief - finally survived tonight.
