Chapter 117: The Night Banquet in the Palace

"It's the chief steward of the palace." Minyu said to Yang Muyun in surprise.

Yang Muyun couldn't help but feel a pang in his heart, tidied up the sleeves of his robe, walked down from the car quickly and bowed in front of Nian's father-in-law: "The next official is Yang Muyun, how can you be the chief manager of Nian to greet him personally." ”

Seeing this, Ning Zuer and Leng Yifei also dismounted and came to Yang Muyun to bow to Father-in-law Nian.

"Yang Qianhu doesn't have to be polite, the prince is invited," he said, looking behind Yang Muyun, "The two must be Ning Baihu and Leng Baihu, you follow Yang Qianhu to see the prince with our family." As he spoke, he turned to one side, waved his right hand, and made a gesture of please, "Yang Qianhu, please"

"Nian Da, please first." Yang Muyun didn't dare to hold it up, took half a step back, stood under him and made a gesture of please. Father-in-law raised his eyebrows, the wrinkles on his face stretched out, and he was no longer polite, he flicked the sleeves of his robe, and walked slowly towards the car sideways.

Yang Muyun turned around and nodded slightly to Ning Zuer and Leng Yifei, and the two of them understood, and turned over on the horse. He looked at Minyu who was standing beside the county lord's carriage again, raised his arms high, and made a gesture from afar, before turning around and following his father-in-law. Minyu's eyes were slightly moist, and he watched him follow Grandpa Nian into the carriage, and then returned to the carriage.

The guards of the Zhou Wangfu escorted the carriage through the bustling Gulou Street, and came to the north in front of a tall city gate, there was a city in front of the gate, and the city gate was engraved with three big characters of Duanli Gate.

At the gates, the guards lowered the drawbridge, and the carriages entered.

The wheels of the carriage ran over the secluded bluestone pavement, making a peculiar clattering sound.

Father-in-law Nian sat opposite Yang Muyun, with a pair of cloudy old eyes that seemed to be closed. Yang Muyun didn't lift the curtains of the car to look at the scene outside, but secretly skimmed it out of the gap, but saw that the vermilion wall with blue and white stone as the base and yellow glazed tiles on it stretched endlessly, and there seemed to be no end.

I don't know how long it took, but the carriage slowed down and finally came to a stop with a creak.

Father-in-law's eyes suddenly opened like an old monk, and he said in a long and sharp voice: "Yang Qianhu, it's here." ”

The place where the carriage stopped was a hanging flower gate, and Grandpa Nian got out of the car and led Yang Muyun into the door.

It is a small courtyard with flowers and grass and three houses. At this time, Ning Zuer and Leng Yifei were also brought in.

Father-in-law Nian stood still in the courtyard, turned around and said, "The three of you will stay here for the time being, take a little rest, and someone will lead you to see the prince later." ”

"There's a big boss for Lao Nian." Yang Muyun bowed.

Father-in-law Nian bowed slightly, turned around, and left.

"It seems that we are going to stay here for a few days," Yang Muyun said to Ning Zuer and Leng Yifei, "You can pick your own residence, and leave the rest to me." ”

Leng Yifei was silent and walked towards a room on the left.

"Won't you pick one?" Yang Muyun said to Ning Zu'er, who stopped beside him.

"You are now the Lord of the Thousand Households of the Northern Division," Ning Zu'er smiled, "How dare I arrogantly transgress?" ”

"When did you become so polite?" Yang Muyun was about to say a few more words, when he suddenly heard a sound of footsteps.

"Ning Gongzi" A crisp and sweet voice came, and a graceful figure stepped into the courtyard.

"County Lord." Yang Muyun and Ning Zu'er said in unison.

Zhu Zhiqing smiled sweetly when she saw them, she was wearing a moon-white Miro shirt embroidered with pale pink hibiscus flowers on it, and a white plain gauze skirt underneath, embroidered with water-green ripples on the skirt, lined with a few hibiscus petals. The beautiful face is decorated with a light pink makeup, which sets off the whole person like a dusty white lotus.

The woman is the one who pleases herself, and she came here to deliberately dress up, definitely for Ning Gongzi. Yang Muyun glanced at Ning Zu'er beside him.

"Zhiqing," a cyan figure also rushed to the courtyard, Zhu Zi was still wearing the same green shirt, he panted and said to Zhu Zhiqing, "What are you doing running so fast?" "

"Third Highnesses" Yang Ning and the two saluted together.

"Is it comfortable to stay here? Zhu Zhiqing ignored her third brother and said to the two of them, but her eyes were like water but she looked at Ning Zuer.

"Thank you, Your Highness," Yang Muyun saw Ning Zu'er bowing his head and being silent, so he said, "I feel really uneasy to be so disturbed. "

"Young Master Yang is polite," Zhu Zi's eyes froze, "What about Young Master Leng?" "

He went back to his room to rest. Yang Muyun said.

"Ning Gongzi," Zhu Zhiqing stepped forward, eagerly

looked at him, "It's the first time you come to our palace, can I walk around with you?" "

"......" Ning Zuer didn't answer, and his eyes secretly aimed at Yang Muyun, as if he wanted to ask for help.

"The county lord has some kindness, Ning Gongzi, you don't want to push it back." Yang Muyun glanced at him narrowly and said.

Zhu Zhiqing was overjoyed when she heard this, and cast a grateful glance at Yang Muyun. And Ning Zuer glared at him fiercely, as if reproaching him for not being righteous.

"Young Master Ning, let's go." Zhu Zhiqing stepped forward diligently and gently pulled his sleeve.

"County Lord, I know below." Ning Zuer pulled her cuffs and took a half step back.

......

Looking at the figure of a pair of enemies walking out of the weeping flower gate, Zhu Zifang said: "Young Master Yang, the medicine you need to regulate your body is available in the palace, I have prepared it and handed it over to the people, and I will bring it to you when it is well boiled up at night." ”

"Let the Third Highness bother so much, I don't know how to repay it." Yang Muyun was a little scared.

"You and I hit it off at first sight, and when we say this, we will see the outside." Zhu Zi smiled slightly: "Don't you invite me to the house to talk?" ”

"Hmm...... In the next faux pas, the Third Highness please" Yang Muyun waved sideways and pointed to the room in the middle.

Zhu Zi was no longer polite, flicked his sleeves, and walked over first, and Yang Muyun followed behind him step by step......

The house was cleaned and the windows were clear, Zhu Zi could enter the house, and without waiting for Yang Muyun to speak, he sat down on a Taishi chair. Yang Muyun dusted off the sleeves of his robe and sat opposite him.

"If you live here, you won't have time to serve tea to the Third Highness." Yang Muyun laughed at himself.

"It's okay, it's okay, the hospitality is not good, please bear with me." Zhu Zi laughed.

"His Royal Highness was born in the palace, but he was able to help the world in a poor countryside and save the villagers, which really makes Zai Xia feel greatly admired." Yang Muyun complimented.

"As a child of the royal family, the son should abide by the royal etiquette, follow the instructions of his grandfather, and use the medical skills he has learned to relieve the people," Zhu Zi smiled indifferently, "It is also fate to be able to meet Yang Gongzi." "

"In order to be in the next place, let His Royal Highness give up but wait for the villagers, and return to the palace to serve alone. I feel really guilty in my heart. Yang Muyun said apologetically.

"Young Master Yang really doesn't have to be like this," Zhu Zi Zhengse said: "Zi returned to Kaifeng this time, not for Gongzi." The birthday of the father is imminent, and those who are sons of man should put filial piety first. Zhiqing came here to urge me to go back to my house as soon as possible to celebrate my father's birthday. Being able to walk with the son is the fate arranged by God. ”

"The Third Highness said this, and I felt a little relieved in my heart below."

"The poison on Yang Gongzi's body can only be suppressed temporarily, so he needs to recuperate for a few days." Zhu Zi said: "It's better to wait for my father Wang's birthday before he goes to Beijing, what does Yang Gongzi think?" ”

"Your Highness's kindness ......" Yang Muyun was about to refuse politely. Suddenly, I heard a voice outside the door: "Is Yang Qianhu here?" ”

Yang Muyun stopped talking, glanced at Zhu Zi, and the two got up at the same time and walked out.

A waiter in Tsing Yi stood in the courtyard, and when he saw the two of them coming out of the room, he smiled all over his face: "The Third Highness is also here," and said to Yang Muyun: "This must be Yang Qianhu, the prince is invited." ”

The place where King Zhou feasted was on a small building by the lake, and when you looked out from the upper floor, you could see the entire lake.

In addition to Yang Muyun, Ning Zuer and Leng Yifei on the wine table, there are Zhou King Zhu Youyi, Princess Hanyi, Zhu Zi and Zhu Zhiqing.

Zhu Youyi's face was full of red light, and he frequently persuaded Yang Muyun and the three of them to drink.

Yang Muyun saw that this King of Zhou was about fifty years old, with a long beard, and he had a kingly bearing in his gestures. The princess is dignified and beautiful, and she smiles wisely between her expectations.

"Yang Qianhu, you were promoted to the imperial court at a young age, and you were ordered by the emperor, the future is limitless, this princess respects you a cup. Han Yi smiled and raised his glass to Yang Muyun.

"Princess Xie," Yang Muyun stood up, holding the wine glass in both hands, the mouth of the glass was slightly lower than the other party, "The princess has an overreputation, and she has made a small contribution by luck and has been appreciated by the emperor, and she is really terrified." "Drink it all.

The corners of Hanyi's lips are slightly upturned, the mouth of the cup is close to her lips, and she licks a sip and sits down.

"The prince described Jinyiwei as like a demon and a monster, who knew that this Qianhu was so handsome, and he still looked like an immature child, are all the people in Jinyiwei like this?" At the moment, my heart is wide. The chaos of coming was swept away.

On this side of the banquet, Yang Muyun was also looking at the prince and his wife.

"This prince is over half a hundred years old, but the princess is so young, she looks about the same age as me." There was a hint of discoloration in his eyes, "It's really interesting, such a delicate little beauty, I don't know what it's like to be with an old man every day." ”

"Yang Qianhu," Zhu Youjiao said, "I heard that you are not feeling well, I don't know how you are now?" ”

"Lord Xie cares," Yang Muyun said busily: "After careful diagnosis and treatment by His Royal Highness San, it has gotten much better." ”

"Oh?" Zhu Youjiao glanced at Zhu Zi, "Then you have to stay in the widow's mansion for a few more days, so that Zi can take good care of you." ”

"Thank you, Lord Xie," Yang Muyun said: "Under the emperor's order, you must enter the capital to face the saint, and you dare not delay the time, and the prince's kindness can only be understood." He has time in the future, if he comes to Kaifeng again, he will definitely visit the prince. ”

"Yang Qianhu ......" Zhu Youjiao dragged out his voice, "I heard that your body has not healed, how can this be bumpy on the road, you can rest assured in my house to recuperate, the emperor there, the widow will play a twist and turn, explain this matter in detail, the emperor will not condemn you." ”

"Then ......" Yang Muyun waved his hand, "I'll thank the prince first." ”

When we returned from the feast, it was getting late. The three of them returned to their lodgings and went back to their rooms to rest.

Yang Muyun had something in his heart and couldn't sleep peacefully, so he got up with his clothes and came to the courtyard.

It was the beginning of August, the weather was still hot, Yang Muyun stood in the courtyard wearing a single coat, and did not feel cold. He looked up at the night sky, the moon bent, and the silver-white light weaved into a vague and soft net, covering all the scenes, and all the things his eyes touched were covered in this net, no grass or tree was as real as in the daytime, they all had vague and illusory colors, each of which hid its delicate points, kept its secrets, and made people have a dreamlike feeling.

"What's wrong, can't sleep?" There was a person's voice behind him, and Yang Muyun didn't need to look back to know that this was Ning Zuer.

"Aren't you too?" Yang Muyun said lightly.

"What are your plans?" He came to Yang Muyun's side, "Do you really want to stay in this palace for a while?" ”

"What else?" Yang Muyun turned his face sideways, "The prince treats him with kindness, how can he brush off the kindness of others," paused, "Besides, I really need to recuperate for a few days." ”

Seeing that his eyes were still looking at him, he said: "I heard that it will be the prince's birthday in a few days, and when the prince is over his birthday, I will resign to him, do you think?" ”

"It's good that you make up your mind," Ning Zu'er smiled slightly, "You are now a thousand households, and your official position is higher than mine." ”

"Actually, you'd love to stay here a little longer, right?" A playful smile appeared at the corner of Yang Muyun's mouth, "That county lord likes you very much, if you can stay, she will be even happier." ”

"When did you become so good at chewing on other people's tongues?" Ning Zuer slapped him on the shoulder heavily, and said with a straight face: "In this case, can you also talk nonsense?" ”

"It's not me talking nonsense," Yang Muyun's face was straight, "Young Master Ning, we've been getting along for a while. You're about my age, I've got a wife, and you're still alone, haven't you thought about spending your life with someone you like? ”

Ning Zuer's eyes darkened when she heard this, and she fell silent.

"She's not someone I like." Ning Zuer raised her head and said in a stiff tone.

"And who do you like? Is it perilla? ”

"If you say this again, I will teach you a lesson for Sister Zisu," Ning Zuer said angrily: "She has a deep affection for you, and she is your wife, how can you drag her to me?" ”

Yang Muyun only kept his mouth shut, he found that he said the wrong thing, and it was easy to provoke people.

The two were silent for a while.

"What are your plans for tomorrow?" Yang Muyun still opened his mouth first, "It's the first time we've come to Kaifeng, do you want to go out and have a look around?" ”

"I'm going to you," Ning Zu'er glanced at him, as if his anger had not subsided, "With you?" Ben Gongzi is not interested. Then he turned and went back to the house.

"He never seemed to be so angry." Yang Muyun smiled bitterly and shook his head.
