Chapter 15: The Palace Banquet

Sunlight shines through the gaps between the leaves and onto the ground, shedding a shattered light.

The woman in military uniform stood in the shade of a tree, with an inexplicable look on her face.

The occasional cheerful birdsong sounded all around, which seemed to satirize the woman's hesitation at this moment.

Approaching the Qing Pavilion, Luo Qi was a little timid about his hometown, so he stood in the shade of the tree for a while.

Listening to the birdsong ringing in her ears from time to time, she was a little irritable, and her left hand subconsciously touched the little jade pendant on her waist.

At this time, a maidservant girl walked out of the Qing Pavilion, she lowered her head and arranged her sleeves, and suddenly felt a gaze staring at her, and suddenly raised her head.

"Ah, master, you're back!" The maidservant Yiyi looked happy, and before Luo Qi could speak, she had already turned her head and shouted inside: "Young master~, the master is back!" ”

When the words fell, I saw a pale young man who was helped out by the little servant, he walked very fast, and he seemed to be in a hurry.

Luo Qi looked at his younger brother's weak appearance, his sharp eyes slowly softened, and a touch of distress flashed in his eyes.

He's grown, taller than me. But the body is also more weak, and the face is pale.

The corners of Luo Qi's mouth rose slightly, revealing a gentle smile like a spring breeze, and said softly: "I'm back." ”

The woman's smile was bright and moving. Especially wearing a military uniform, it adds a touch of iron-blooded tenderness.

The maidservant Yiyi and the little maid Eleven were a little stunned, since they had known the master, how could they have seen her so gentle.

Luo Yuan watched his sister approach him step by step, his eyes slowly blurred, and after hearing his sister's words, his nose was sore, and tears fell directly.

He pushed Eleven away slightly, straightened his body, slowly opened his arms, and said with a crying voice: "Sister, welcome back." ”

The breeze blew, witnessing the scene of the sister and brother meeting each other, and sneaked away again.

Luo Yuan's health has become weaker in recent years, and he has not slept all night when he learned that his sister has returned yesterday, and now his face is tired.

Luo Qi saw his younger brother's face getting paler and paler, and hurriedly forced him to go back to rest, so that he could go back and clean up.

In the side room of the Qing Pavilion, the woman who had changed out of her military uniform and freshened up was lying lazily on the soft couch, listening to the maid chattering on the side.

"Master, you don't know that your deeds are spread everywhere in the imperial capital."

"Just for the Battle of Crescent Bay, the storytellers in the teahouse have been talking for a long time, and there are all versions."

"The master is really powerful, and the single-handedly kidnapping of the king shocked the world."

"Everyone says that Gongzi Mo is very smart, but I don't think our master is bad!"

Luo Qi was not interested, and he didn't listen carefully to what she was saying.

She subconsciously touched the little jade pendant on her waist and fell into deep thought.

This jade pendant was snatched from the entourage generals, and there will be nothing wrong with this is my brother's jade pendant. But when asked about the general, he didn't say where the jade pendant came from.

When asked about the battle of duckweed, most of the generals who followed their father on the expedition never mentioned it.

The Battle of Duckweed, what really happened?

A shrill voice interrupted Luo Qi's thoughts, and she tilted her head to look at the source of the sound.

"Our family wants to see General Luo." Manager Li stood respectfully outside the Qing Pavilion and shouted.

The sound in the room stopped abruptly, and only the woman's lazy voice was heard, "Come in!" ”

Manager Li walked in cautiously, looked at Luo Qi with a flattering face and said: "General Luo has worked hard all the way, Your Majesty is sympathetic to the generals, so tonight set up a banquet in the palace, Your Majesty specially sent our family to invite General Luo to go." ”

Luo Qi responded casually, and then saw that Manager Li was still bent over and did not move, so he spoke again: "Manager Li is here, do you want to see Luo Qi change clothes?" ”

Manager Li shuddered for a moment, and hurriedly replied: "No, no, no, our family will quit, let's go out." ”

Luo Qi snorted lightly, specially came to invite? Aren't you afraid that I won't go?

……

The palace is worthy of being a royal palace, and it is full of luxury. Rows of palace walls separate the palaces, and if there is no one to guide the way, I am afraid that you will really get lost.

Manager Li walked briskly in front to lead the way, and Luo Qi followed behind in a leisurely manner.

Seeing that the sky was slowly darkening, Manager Li also knew that he was afraid that the banquet was about to start.

He wanted to urge the master who was still walking slowly behind, but he didn't dare to provoke. I felt sad for a while, and the wrinkles on my face were squeezed together, which was slightly funny.

Luo Qi felt that the time was almost up, and after glancing at the sad figure in front of him, he decided not to embarrass him, and quickly followed.

The banquet was set up in the Taiji Palace, at this time all the ministers and generals were already sitting in their respective seats, and the banquet was staggered, the words were cheerful, and the scene was harmonious and lively.

Luo Qi had just arrived, and he wanted to keep a low profile and sneak in from the side.

But Manager Li, who was beside him, suddenly shouted: "General Luo has arrived!" ”

She knew that she could only enter in front of everyone.

As soon as Manager Li's voice fell, everyone looked at the woman standing at the door.

The woman was dressed in a light purple dress, her complexion was as white as snow, her thin lips were gently pursed, and three thousand green silks rolled up into a cloud bun, and a few strands of green silk naturally hung down.

The most amazing thing is the woman's pair of watery eyes. When he doesn't smile, he is clear and innocent, but his eyes are implied with fierceness, which makes people dare not underestimate him. At the same time, everyone can't help but think about how amazing her eyes will be when she smiles.

Luo Qi's position was arranged in the first place on the lower left of the main seat, that is, the position closest to His Majesty. Such an arrangement can already show the importance that His Majesty attaches to her.

She walked from the door to the front, and many Wenchen generals greeted her along the way, whether they knew or didn't know, Luo Qi just nodded lightly, and there was no intention of deep friendship.

No sooner had she reached her seat than she was about to sit down, when there was a shout from the door.

"Your Majesty has arrived!"

Immediately, everyone stood up and saluted the bright yellow figure, and shouted in unison: "Long live Your Majesty, long live, long live!" ”

The figure stopped in front of Luo Qi for a second before he stepped up to the main seat and sat down.

"Zhong Aiqing doesn't have to be polite, today is a banquet, so you don't have to be too restrained." Chen Huang said with a laugh.

The tense atmosphere of His Majesty's arrival at the beginning was relaxed as these words fell.

In the singing and dancing, the lively atmosphere was gradually restored.

Luo Qi was not interested in singing and dancing, and ignored everyone's chats and laughter, so he silently took a small bite of the palace food on the table.

After a while, feeling the inquiring gaze from above, Luo Qi stopped continuing to eat, wiped the side of his mouth with a handkerchief, and then waited quietly.

"If I remember correctly, this should be the first time I have met General Luo Qi!"

Luo Qi raised his eyes slightly to look at Emperor Chen, but he didn't speak, waiting for his next step.

Chen Huang looked at her face and suddenly sighed: "She is worthy of being Luo Fengji's daughter, and she is not inferior to your father at all." ”

Luo Qi lowered his eyes and replied lightly: "Your Majesty has a good reputation." ”

Emperor Chen laughed, "Now no one in the Three Kingdoms knows that Chen Guonu will Luo Qi!" It is worthy of being the people of my Chen country, and it is worthy of being the child of the Luo family! ”

Luo Qi didn't answer again, only slowly picked up the wine glass and took a sip of wine.
