Chapter 303: A Dreamlike Banquet!
"Master Hou, Prime Minister Zhuge Chengyu has arrived, and he is already waiting outside the mansion!"
The gatekeeper soldiers who rushed to the main hall knelt in front of Ling Xiao and reported.
Ling Xiao's eyes widened, he stood up from his chair, beckoned to the soldier guarding the door, and said, "Get up!"
"Yes, Master Hou!"
The soldier at the gate thanked him and got up from the ground.
"Let's go!"
Ling Xiao waved his hand and walked towards the mansion gate.
...
When I came to the gate of the house, I saw Zhuge Chengyu standing.
"It turns out that Prime Minister Zhuge has arrived, hurry... Please!"
Ling Xiao wiped a smile on his face, walked quickly in front of Zhuge Chengyu, and stretched out his hand to make a "please" gesture.
"Hou Ye came to greet him personally, the old man is really flattered!
Zhuge Chengyu smiled hypocritically and was polite with Ling Xiao.
"Prime Minister Zhuge Cheng, what are you talking about? The younger generation can come to greet the prime minister in person, that is a blessing for the younger generation!
In the future, Prime Minister Zhuge will have to take care of it, or Prime Minister Zhuge will invite him first...!"
Ling Xiao smiled politely.
After all, he knew that an old fox like Zhuge Chengyu was as powerful as heaven in the court!
It's not time to turn his face yet, how can he give Zhuge Chengyu, the old fox, a little face, and flatter the old fox with two sentences of flattery, so as to make the old fox happy.
Zhuge Chengyu saw that Ling Xiao said this, and if he wanted to refuse, it would be meaningless.
Suddenly, he said generously: "Okay, since the Hou Ye has invited him repeatedly, then the old man is not welcome!"
After saying that, he walked towards the house.
The corners of Ling Xiao's mouth raised slightly, and he hurriedly followed.
When Zhuge Chengyu saw the layout of the courtyard, it was like a dreamy fairyland, and he was shocked.
"Master Hou, you are really a strange person!
This dream-like scene is simply a fairyland on earth.
For so many years, the person I appreciate the most is you, Master Hou. ”
Zhuge Chengyu nodded and boasted.
"Hehe, Prime Minister Zhuge praised it falsely.
This scene is set up for tonight, and the Dust Moon Guild is coming!"
Ling Xiao smiled and said modestly.
"What? Her Royal Highness is coming too?"
Zhuge Chengyu was shocked again when he heard this.
He didn't expect at all that Princess Chenyue, who had never left the palace gate, would come to Ling Xiao's mansion tonight, what a lucky thing it was!
Even as the prime minister, Princess Dusty Moon did not step through the door of his prime minister's house.
"Hmm!"
Ling Xiao nodded slightly.
"Haha, no wonder Lord Hou is so attentive, it turned out to be for Her Royal Highness the Princess, it seems that I can only be a foil!"
Zhuge Chengyu laughed out loud, and then said in a toneful manner.
"The prime minister laughed, in fact, I didn't expect Princess Chenyue to come when I was preparing, it was a little eunuch who came to tell me!"
Ling Xiao smiled slightly.
Obviously, he was lying to Zhuge Chengyu.
But Ling Xiao's ability to lie is not small!
I didn't panic and didn't blush, I was really thick-skinned!
"Huh?"
Hearing this, Zhuge Chengyu frowned.
"Prime Minister, please!"
Ling Xiao didn't give Zhuge Chengyu time to think, and stretched out his hand.
"Hmm!"
Zhuge Chengyu had just remembered something, but was interrupted by Ling Xiao's sudden words, and couldn't help but walk towards the main hall under Ling Xiao's guidance.
"Prime Minister, please be seated!"
When he came to the main hall, Ling Xiao invited Zhuge Chengyu to take a seat, and immediately shouted to the door: "Come on, serve tea!"
"Yes, Master Hou!"
A maidservant outside the door answered, immediately went to prepare tea, and walked in.
The maidservant had just put the tea on Zhuge Chengyu's coffee table, when a soldier guarding the door ran in.
"Master Hou, someone is visiting outside the door!"
"Okay, I know, you go down first!"
Ling Xiao waved his hand at the soldier who was kneeling on the ground, and then arched his hand at Zhuge Chengyu and said, "Prime Minister, if you are not accompanied, I will come when I go!"
"Good!"
Zhuge Chengyu nodded and smiled.
Without hesitation, Ling Xiao raised his steps and walked out of the main hall and quickly came to the door of the mansion.
"Prime Minister Wei, it's really unwelcome... It's unwelcome!"
Seeing Wei Zongliang standing at the door, Ling Xiao hurriedly smiled and said.
"Master Hou, the old man is uninvited! Don't be surprised!"
Wei Zongliang smiled in return.
"Prime Minister Wei, what are you talking about? I welcome Prime Minister Wei at any time at the door of this small courtyard.
Fast... Please...!"
Ling Xiao grinned, raised his hand and invited Wei Zongliang into the mansion.
However, at this very moment, several more carriages were heading for here not far away.
Wei Zongliang listened to the sound of the carriage creaking, couldn't help but turn around, looked over, saw several carriages, and smiled bitterly at Ling Xiao: "Master Hou, let's wait, together!"
"Okay, then I'll bother Prime Minister Wei to wait a little longer!"
Ling Xiao smiled helplessly.
Soon, several carriages stopped beside the two.
Du San, the head of the household department, Chen Daosheng, the head of the Ministry of Rites, Pei Yong, the head of the Ministry of Officials... Wait a minute.
"Prime Minister Wei, Master Hou!"
"Good Prime Minister, Good Hou Ye!"
"Okay, good, you came in time, you all got together with me!"
Wei Zongliang looked at these second-grade masters and couldn't help but start joking.
"Haha... The prime minister laughed!"
"Seniors, it's so rusty to stand outside and talk! Please sit in the house and chat while drinking tea!"
Ling Xiao said with a smile.
"Haha, it's still the Hou Ye who can speak, everyone, please!"
Wei Zongliang laughed.
"Or the prime minister, please first!"
Several second-grade officials know the rules very well, where do they dare to cross the line and walk in front of the prime minister!
"Okay, then I won't refuse!"
Wei Zongliang shouted with a smile, and immediately raised his steps, led the team in front, and walked out of the mansion.
"Damn, Master Hou, what are you doing?"
Wei Zongliang looked at the courtyard, a floating blue cloud flashed four or five meters above his head, and he couldn't help but shout rudely.
And several second-grade seniors standing behind him were also stunned by the scene in front of them, and their faces were shocked.
This... How can a blue cloud float?
It's incredible!
"Hehe, Prime Minister Wei, I just want to give you a little surprise!"
Ling Xiao smiled indifferently.
"Damn, your surprise is so surprising.
Tell me, how did you get this, I'll get one to play with when I get home?"
Wei Zongliang raised his eyebrows and looked at Ling Xiao, looking forward to Ling Xiao's explanation of this mystery.
"Is this this? Prime Minister, it's not that I don't say it, even if I do, ordinary people can't figure it out.
Don't worry about it, enjoy yourself here tonight, and just go home and have a sweet dream!"
Ling Xiao smiled helplessly.
Listening to Ling Xiao's words, Wei Zongliang, who was originally full of interest, and several second-grade masters seemed to be filled with fog.
There's no way, Ling Xiao won't say it, it seems that it's really not that simple.
In that case, then no more entanglement.
"Okay, Master Hou, your intestines are crooked!"
Wei Zongliang sighed with a wry smile.
"Guys, let's go in and have tea!"
Ling Xiao didn't explain anymore, and said to Wei Zongliang and several second-grade masters.
