Zhang Juzheng has been helping out in Yuwangfu some time ago, and his ability has been recognized by Yuwang and everyone, and he can be regarded as half of Yuwangfu, and he has participated in many banquets in Yuwangfu before, so everyone is not surprised that Gao Gong and Zhang Juzheng went to the banquet together, and everyone is a little accustomed to it.

With the arrival of Gao Gong and Zhang Juzheng, the subordinate officials of Yuwang's Mansion were also announced, and the pergola was full of seats.

Soon, Yuwang was finally late accompanied by his entourage.

"Meet His Royal Highness King Yu."

Zhu Ping'an, Gao Gong, Chen Yiqin and others got up one after another and bowed to King Yu.

"Ladies and gentlemen, please take a seat." King Yu returned the salute to everyone, and then waved his hand to invite everyone to the table.

"Your Highness, please."

Zhu Ping'an and the others did not move, King Yu had not yet sat down, how could he dare to sit down first as a courtier, wouldn't that be encroachment.

"Hehe, okay, my lords, please."

King Yu sat down with a smile, and then waved his hand again, and invited all the subordinate officials in the audience to sit down.

"Your Highness."

Everyone thanked each other and took their seats.

"Huh?"

"Uh......"

"Your Highness......."

Before Zhu Ping'an sat down, he heard a burst of surprise from everyone, as if he had seen something incredible.

What's wrong?

Zhu Ping'an looked at everyone curiously, but saw that everyone looked at the direction of the main seat with a stunned face, Zhu Ping'an followed everyone's line of sight, and then saw a relatively obvious scar on Yuwang's face, just below the ear, and at the top of the chin, a slender scar of about four centimeters, as if it was scratched by a sharp weapon.

The blood stains have not dried up, and they look like new injuries.

His Royal Highness King Yu was actually injured in the face?

Is this an encounter with an Assassin?

Has the protection of the Yuwang Mansion been lax to this point, and what are the guards of the Royal Mansion doing to eat? How to protect Your Highness?!

There is no sense of security anymore.

Everyone was stunned and discussed.

God's assassin!

Unlike everyone else, as soon as Zhu Ping'an saw this slender scar on King Yu's face, he immediately thought of Queen Yu's house.

Then, Zhu Ping'an carefully looked at the slender scars on Yuwang's face again, and the more he looked at it, the more it looked like he was scratched by his nails.

It is estimated that King Yu hid the petite Zhang family in the kitchen, but he was discovered by Princess Yu, a fire broke out in the backyard of the palace, and when King Yu went to extinguish the fire, he was scratched by Princess Yu on his head. This is supposed to be the truth, not some assassin. The Yuwang Mansion was heavily guarded, how could an assassin break in.

Zhu Ping'an has a good impression of Wu Wanfu in Yuwang's Mansion, with Wu Wanfu here, the guards of Yuwang's Mansion are trustworthy.

"Ahem, hehe, let you adults laugh, this is thinking about things when walking alone, but one accidentally stepped on it and broke a little skin. I've already let the imperial doctor in the house take a look, it's okay, don't worry. ”

Yuwang explained with a slight smile, but his face was slightly red when he explained, and his tone was a little lacking in confidence.

Just kidding, of course you will be weak when you tell a lie.

After King Yu finished speaking, he pretended to smile calmly at everyone.

"Oh, I see. However, His Royal Highness is a body of ten thousand gold, and everything in the future should be careful. ”

It's good if it's not an assassin, everyone listened to King Yu's explanation, and breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts, and then persuaded King Yu one after another.

"Thank you for reminding me, I've written it down."

The reaction of everyone made King Yu breathe a sigh of relief in his heart, the flush on his face gradually faded, and he became full of anger when he spoke.

"Serve."

With a gesture from King Yu, the attendant on the side sang loudly.

After the waiters finished singing and drinking, the maids came and went, and then the table in front of everyone was filled with delicious food and wine.

King Yu picked up the first glass of wine, got up and saluted everyone, "All the princes are my wise and virtuous people, and it is a blessing for the lonely to be able to consult with the princes every day." This first cup of wine, Lone thanked the princes. ”

After speaking, King Yu drank it all and showed the empty wine glass to everyone.

"His Royal Highness will not give up, and the ministers are ashamed." Everyone took their glasses, got up, and drank the wine in the glasses.

"Lonely qualifications are stupid, limited ability, since the opening of the house, many obstacles, fortunately there are all the help of the public, teaching me, multi-faceted care, offering advice and advice, lonely to this day. This second cup of wine, Lone once again thanked the princes. ”

The maid poured wine for King Yu again, King Yu lifted the wine glass, held it with both hands and saluted everyone again, and said in a deep voice.

"The ministers don't dare, serve His Highness, and the ministers have an unshirkable responsibility......" Everyone bowed down and returned the salute.

After the second glass of wine was dry, the maid poured more wine for King Yu, and King Yu lifted the wine glass and turned his eyes to Zhu Ping'an.

"Zihou, welcome."

King Yu looked at Zhu Ping'an with a smile, his tone was sincere, he picked up the wine glass, and looked at everyone again, "Today is Zihou's reception banquet, take this opportunity, Lone Cai has to get together with all the princes, this third cup of wine, let us welcome Zihou together." ”

"Welcome, Lord Zhu."

Everyone gave King Yu a lot of face, and they raised their glasses to Zhu Ping'an.

"Thank you, Your Highness."

Zhu Ping'an hurriedly got up and left the table, very formally, bowed to King Yu at the head, and bowed for a long time.

"Thank you, gentlemen."

After Zhu Ping'an saluted and thanked King Yu, he once again saluted and thanked him in three directions: forward, left and backward with the same solemn etiquette.

Zhu Ping'an's execution is very respectful, and the arch range is very large.

Zhu Ping'an understood the etiquette of officialdom very well, and deliberately performed the courtesy more respectfully. He was young, and when he first entered the Yuwang Mansion, he was in a high position in the Yuwang Mansion, which already provoked the eyes of the old people in the mansion.

After King Yu brought three glasses of wine, accompanied by fine wine and food, the banquet gradually entered a good situation, and the officials drank and chatted with great interest.

After three rounds of drinking, the atmosphere is even more lively.

When you drink too much, you talk too much.

Zhu Ping'an, as the protagonist of this reception banquet, is naturally inseparable from Zhu Ping'an.

"I heard that Lord Zhu was moved by the Holy Lord to be a bachelor in our Yu Wangfu because of a pair of bamboo chopsticks?"

"Hehe, I heard that Lord Zhu was informal, reached out to grab the meat to eat, and won the favor of the saint......"

"Hehe, it's a pity for Mr. Zhang, if Mr. Zhang doesn't want chopsticks, then he will really become our colleague......"

Although I didn't drink much, through the strength of the wine, the envy, jealousy, hatred and contempt in some people's hearts also came out.

"Where, chopsticks are just the surface, Lord Zhu deserves it." Zhang Juzheng smiled and shook his head.

"Huh, well deserved?"

"Well, well deserved, hehe......"

The gossip before burst into laughter.

"Hehe, Master Zhu deserves his name, then the exit is a chapter, and the poetry and lyrics should be no problem, right?"

An official sitting under Zhu Ping'an looked at Zhu Ping'an and asked with a smile.

"Lord Wang, you look down on Lord Zhu when you say this, don't say that Lord Zhu is a well-deserved talent, although we are small talents, it is not a problem to write poems." Another official seemed to be demolishing the stage, but in fact he was very cooperative.

"That's right, it's Wang who lost his words, and he punishes himself with a cup, and he punishes himself with a cup." The official surnamed Wang poured himself a drink as he spoke.

"Speaking of composing poetry, it's boring for me to drink like this, and I can't do that martial arts fist, why don't you use poetry to accompany wine?" Another official suggested.

"Good."

"Great goodness."

This proposal made everyone nod their heads, chant poems and paint, and how could there be less at the banquet of the literati. Perhaps, if you are not careful, it will be like Wang Xizhi's Lan Tingxu, which will be famous for centuries.

"What's the topic?" Someone asked.

"How about that?"

The official surnamed Wang, who was under Zhu Ping'an's head, smiled slightly and raised the chopsticks in his hand.

Chopsticks?

Everyone was stunned, and then thought of Zhu Ping'an, who had just been joked by everyone, because of the move of chopsticks to the Yuwang Mansion to teach bachelors, and couldn't help but smile and nodded, "Good." ”
