Chapter 689 - Speaking of Wine
On the day of the banquet, the side door of the plaque of the king of Chu has been hung, many carriages are parked, and the status is not high enough, so they get off the carriage at the side door and are led by the chief of the palace. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
With a valuable status, the carriage entered the side door directly, and the shadow wall that entered the first inside was received by Zhou Tingyu.
As for the carriage of the female dependents, they all drove directly to the second gate and were led by Lan's mother.
Shu Yanhua and the crown princess were in the main hall of the Ming room, receiving expensive or elderly wives.
In the entire palace of the King of Chu, everyone was smiling, and the bookkeeper took a group of apprentices to count the congratulatory gifts sent by the guests.
"Yo, why don't you see Xiao Deyin?"
The only people who can call Xiao Deyin by name so affectionately are people who are close to him, such as Mrs. Zhou, Zhou Daru's wife.
"There are too many people, I'm afraid that she will recognize her life, and she is being taken care of by Mother Qi and others in the side hall, if you want to see her, I will let her come out."
Shu Yanhua affectionately held Mrs. Zhou's hand, smiling.
Mrs. Zhou looked at the crowded main hall around her, patted Shu Yanhua's hand gently, and said with a smile: "No, just let the maid lead me to the side hall, just take this opportunity to hide and be lazy." ”
If she really wanted to be lazy, Mrs. Zhou would not come, but it can be seen that she was afraid that Xiao Deyin would recognize her life, so she didn't let Shu Yanhua take it out.
Shu Yanhua was kind to Mrs. Zhou, an elder, and personally took her into the side hall and led her to see Xiao Deyin.
The inner courtyard is smiling and smiling, and the front yard is lively with a hint of fire.
"Xiao Wu, I didn't expect you to go around the border city and come back and become the first prince of this dynasty, the fourth brother is really willing to bow down."
The fourth prince patted Zhou Tingyu's shoulder affectionately, and joked with a smile on his face.
Before Zhou Tingyu could speak, another voice came from beside him.
"Xiao Wu is really blessed, it's a good time."
There is a hint of sourness in these words, and it is almost said that it is lucky to step on shit, who is it.
Turning his head, he saw the second prince striding over.
Zhou Tingyu's brows moved imperceptibly, and he stepped forward to greet him twice, "Second brother." ”
"I didn't expect that the fastest among the brothers to become the prince was you, this kid, in the future, we will call His Royal Highness the King of Chu when we see you."
There were many ministers and veteran nobles present, and when they saw the faintly sour words of the second prince, they all shook their heads in their hearts.
The Fifth Highness was awarded the title of King of Chu for his military exploits, as a few other bald princes who have not yet been crowned, it is difficult to believe that they are not jealous in their hearts, but the third prince and the fourth prince are happy on their faces, looking like brothers, friends and brothers, and the performance of the second prince is too low.
Zhou Tingyu felt slightly surprised in his heart, even if his second brother really didn't like him and was really jealous of him, he wouldn't follow him in public.
If you can't even do this superficial work, you won't be able to get the favor of your father.
This thought just flashed in his mind, and Zhou Tingyu smiled modestly on his face, "Second brother, didn't you torture your younger brother by saying this?" Whether I am His Royal Highness the King of Chu or not, I am still your younger brother, young and orderly, I will not forget. ”
So I also hope that you don't forget that the eldest brother of the crown prince is not only your eldest brother, but also the prince of Great Xia.
The young and the old are orderly, there is a difference between respect and inferiority, and they keep in mind their identity.
A trace of chagrin flashed in the eyes of the second prince, and he was very remorseful for his gaffe, and went down the steps given by Zhou Tingyu.
"Hahaha, the second brother is just joking, don't take it seriously."
Zhou Tingyu smiled, and also echoed a few words, and the matter was quickly turned over.
After waiting for the guests to arrive, Zhou Tingyu held a glass of wine in his hand and held it up to everyone, "Thank you, I salute you." ”
Everyone stood up, also raised their glasses, and saluted: "Respect King Chu!" ”
Zhou Tingyu took a dry sip and said with a smile: "I won't spoil the fun, everyone eats and drinks well, the food is not enough, it is called a small house, the wine is not enough, it is called a small house, if you are drunk, I still have a guest room here, and I will not let you sleep in the open." ”
"Haha, that's a good dare, everyone is drunk today!"
"In that case, then we won't be polite to Your Highness, and we won't go home if we don't get drunk!"
The generals are bold and should be reconciled immediately.
After they were full of food and drink, they talked in twos and threes, connecting their feelings.
"Little Wu, what are you busy with these days? There is no one in the town, and the third brother can't find anyone if he wants to talk to you. ”
The third prince came to Zhou Tingyu's side, lifted the corner of his robe, and sat next to the stone where Zhou Tingyu was sitting.
Zhou Tingyu glanced at the third prince with interest.
At the banquet, he was toasted by the brave generals who had drunk too much, and the whole person was drunk and dizzy, afraid that he would not be able to resist, and after withdrawing the banquet, he sneaked out and saw several big stones under a big tree, so he simply sat here to sober up.
It was not strange to see the third brother, but the strange thing was that the third brother actually sat on the stone like him, which was a little inconsistent with the third brother in his impression.
"The Turks are being tried in the prison." Zhou Tingyu said casually.
"Oh? Did they confess? The third prince asked with concern.
Zhou Tingyu said with some annoyance: "I didn't expect the Turks to be a little tough. ”
The third prince gently patted Zhou Tingyu's shoulder and comforted him; "After all, those Turks are known for their bravery, and don't be discouraged."
The annoyance on Zhou Tingyu's face was put away, and he said with a hint of pride: "It's a pity that it's just a little hard, didn't I pry my mouth open in the end?" ”
The third prince's hand on Zhou Tingyu's shoulder paused, his face was slightly stunned, and he asked curiously, "Pry open your mouth?" So what did he confess? ”
"I confessed that someone in the DPRK and China collaborated with the enemy......"
The voice stopped abruptly, Zhou Tingyu shook his head, held his forehead and said uncomfortably: "I drank too much, I was dizzy, third brother, I didn't say anything about alcohol just now, right?" ”
The third prince looked at Zhou Tingyu who was bowing his head and holding his forehead, a touch of nervousness and deep thought flashed in the depths of his eyes, but he replied: "I said, you said that you pried open the mouth of the Turkic general who was imprisoned in the prison. ”
Zhou Tingyu rubbed his head uncomfortably while looking at the third prince, "Third brother, this matter is in your ears, you have only heard this sentence, and I have never said the rest." ”
The third prince patted Zhou Tingyu's shoulder again, "Okay, the third brother knows." Come, the third brother will help you go back to rest. ”
Zhou Tingyu shook off the hand of the third prince, staggered against the tree, and muttered: "There are too many people in it, it's too noisy, I won't go back, I'll stay here to sober up." ”
Seeing that he insisted, the third prince said that he would find someone to serve him, and left quickly.
When the figure of the third prince disappeared, Zhou Tingyu's confused eyes gradually became clear, looking at the direction in which the three princes disappeared, silent and speechless, with deep eyes.
