Xiao Tingxiu was about to speak, but was immediately stopped by Xiao Tingchu, she pondered for a while and said, "Our Chu State Mansion has been away from the court for nearly ten years, and this time we entered Beijing just to accompany the driver, and as soon as the banquet in the palace is over, we will go back to Luo'an, so no matter what Your Majesty's true thoughts are, we don't care." If Lord Xue is looking for an ally, I'm afraid he's looking for the wrong person. ”

"Uh...... I don't think Xiao Shizi and Miss Xiao are interested in this topic, so let's just leave it at that, I brought two bottles of Kannan Province's fine wine, Yijiangchun, come and try it? Ye Cizhun saw that the Xiao family couldn't let go of their defenses at all, and it was useless to say anything else, so it was better to drink a few cups first, and Xue Peiqi also came to echo, and the atmosphere gradually eased.

Ye Cizhun Yijiangchun is indeed a good thing, Xiao Tingxiu is salivating and obsessed, the two bottles soon bottomed out, and he felt that he was still unsatisfied, so he muttered, "There are such good things in Guannan Road, and I don't see any merchants in Luo'an selling ......."

As soon as he heard this, Ye Cizhun hurriedly said, "Xiao Shizi really knows the goods!" Don't regret it, it is reported that Luo'an's Taixiangxing will soon introduce this wine, this news I heard from Changxing's drinking friends, there are seven or eight true, this palace banquet tour is estimated to be able to see it when you go back! ”

When Xiao Tingchu heard this, he not only raised his wine glass and took another sip, did the Tai Xiangxing of the county lord of Yi'an? Xue Peiqi seems to be very concerned, the last time Chang'an made a big fuss in the Luo'an business community, Xue Peiqi's protection was too obvious...... Now that Yi'an has reconciled with Xue Chunyue as soon as he returns to Beijing, I don't know if this matter will be related to Xue Peiqi, and if so, when did they start...... While thinking about it, Xiao Tingchu was a little distracted, and he didn't notice that the banquet was gradually about to disperse.

"Miss Xiao?"

"Ahh Hearing Xue Peiqi's voice, Xiao Tingchu couldn't help but be startled and responded blankly.

"Xiao Shizi just said that it's not too early, you should go back early, I don't know what you think?"

"Oh, oh...... Listen to my brother's yes. ”

"In that case, I, the host, will give one and two for it."

"Hey, it's not an outsider, so you don't need these routines. Pei Qi, you and Lord Ye and Lord Xue will get together again, stay and stay. Xiao Tingxiu refused Xue Peiqi's send-off, and then got up with Xiao Tingchu and left.

After the two left, the three of them continued the topic just now, in the matter of Chang'an, Xue Peiqi had actually stood on the side of Xue Chunyue and Ye Cizhun, but because of the knots in those past events, he did not make a clear statement, and after a few glasses of wine tonight, he also wanted to sort out those old things with the two.

He was about to get up to toast, but he didn't want Xue Chunyue to press his shoulder, "Don't talk about the past, in the future, we will often get together, drink, listen to music, and enjoy the wind and moon in the world, how about it?" ”

Ye Cizhun smiled, "The wind and moon in the world? Isn't the virtuous nephew afraid that he wants to drill into the willow alley of that flower street? In this way, Lord Xiao Xue and I will not be accompanied. ”

"You really don't need to be accompanied, the two wives in the family, enjoy the blessings of all people, what do you need those vulgar fans to do?! It's hard for our family to be alone or alone, alas, the world is unfair, and that's it! ”

After some ridicule, the atmosphere suddenly eased, needless to say, Xue Peiqi also knew that the two had put it down, but he still raised his glass and said, "What happened before, I did it wrong, whether it was Chunyue, Lord Ye, or Su Yuming, I am the initiator of your crimes...... Anyway, I'm sorry for the two brothers, I'll punish myself with three cups, if you think I can still help in the future, just tell me! Saying that, Xue Peiqi drank three cups by himself!

"Good! Second Master Xue is happy! Such an honest man is a good man, I, Ye, have made you a friend! As he spoke, he stood up and drank three glasses!

A banquet that was supposed to persuade the Xiao brothers and sisters became a reconciliation banquet for the three of them.

This table of banquets was drunk until the end of the day, Juxian Pavilion had to be closed before it had to disperse, Ye Cizhun was okay, he could go home by himself, Xue Chunyue and Xue Peiqi The two brothers were already drunk and staggered, and they couldn't ride a horse at all, Xuecheng and Xuexun could only help each go back to their own young master and walk back.

Xue Peiyu was completely drunk, refused to go home, and shouted that he wanted to go to Xue Chunyue's mansion to drink again, so he walked to Xue Chunyue's mansion, Ye Qinyu heard the report that Xue Chunyue was drunk, and hurriedly came out to pick him up, but found that Xue Peiyue was also there, and the two of them were still muttering about the old things of the Xue family.

Xuexun saw Ye Qinyu and hurriedly saluted, a little overwhelmed, "Miss Ye, oh no, the second young lady, my young master is drunk, you must come, you see ......"

It's all here, can you still turn Xue Er Ye away? Ye Qinyu had no choice but to support his forehead.

"Qinyu ...... Quickly clean up the side hall, and then ask the kitchen to prepare some wine and food, and greet the second uncle...... Hiccup......", Xue Chunyue was also drunk, the more people who drank high, the more they had to continue to chase drunk, at this time, he was estimated to be unwilling to obey him, Ye Qinyu really couldn't cry or laugh, so he had to ask Xinyan to follow his instructions, and then ask Xuecheng and Xuexun to help the two over.

Ye Qinyu wanted to arrange Xue Peiyu to sleep directly in the guest room, but he still pulled Xue Chunyue vigorously and chattered, and after seeing Ye Qinyu, he even told the past of their two hours in Changxing. Ye Qinyu was worried that Xue Chunyue would be jealous, so he hurriedly stuffed the wine jug into the hands of the two of them and diverted the topic.

The two drank for another round, and Ye Qinyu wanted to persuade him, but before the words could be spoken, someone came to report that it was a young lady from the Duke of Chu who was visiting.

What did she come to do? Although Ye Qinyu was puzzled, he still went out and invited Xiao Tingchu in.

"Miss Xiao, please come in, are you here to find Chunyue, or are you looking for the second uncle?"

"What? Is Pei Qi also there? Oh, oh, Mrs. Xue, I'm really sorry, did I disturb the gathering of the two brothers? ”

"Ahem, what kind of party, drunk high, chasing drunk! Are you here to find Chunyue? ”

Xiao Tingchu nodded, "I was a little rude in Juxian Pavilion before, but after I went back, I told my father about the banquet, and my father scolded me and my brother well, and he wanted me to come to apologize, so I ......"

Ye Qinyu knew the purpose of Xue Chunyue's visit to Juxian Pavilion this time, and when he heard Xiao Tingchu's words, he took her to the side hall, and said while walking, "Although I don't know what happened to you in Juxian Pavilion, but I think Chunyue doesn't care, Miss Xiao is serious, if it is just for this matter, then I can also respond on behalf of Chunyue." ”

Xue Chunyue didn't know if he was really drunk or fake, and when he saw Xiao Tingchu, he said to himself, "It seems that he is really drunk, and he can see the people of the Chu State Mansion when he drinks at his own house", and then without saying anything, he got up and pulled Ye Qinyu away, muttering, "Really drunk, really drunk......

However, Xue Peiqi was really drunk, he was already a little worried, and he couldn't stand Ye Cizhun's repeated attacks, so it was strange if he wasn't drunk. After Xue Chunyue left, the side hall suddenly quieted down, and his fatigue came up in the quiet environment, and he finally lay on the table.

Xiao Tingchu looked at the sleeping Xue Peiqi, and thought of those conjectures about him and Yi'an, a little distracted, couldn't help but stroke his hair, and said to himself, "What is the relationship between you and Yi'an......

Xue Peiqi seemed to notice that someone was there, and unconsciously called out Yi'an's name, "Yi'an...... ...... Ann "

Xiao Tingchu chuckled in his heart, they really have a relationship......

Xinyan was about to serve a cup of hot tea to Xiao Tingchu, but when she arrived in the side hall, she found that her person had disappeared, Ye Qinyu then also arrived in the side hall, and she also understood the situation when she saw it, so she instructed Xuexun to help Xue Peiqi to the guest room to live, and there was nothing else to say.

Three days later, Emperor Hongyuan drove from the palace, and his party went to the palace in the west of the city, and held a feast in the palace that night, feasting the princes and their relatives who accompanied the car.

Surprisingly, this trip to the palace, which was originally planned to stay for a month, ended in only ten days, and Emperor Hongyuan's Luan drove back to the palace, and the princes from all walks of life wanted to stay in the palace to continue to stay in the palace to play, and those who wanted to go back to the palace went home. According to the rules, the palace secretary province should routinely sort out and record the words and deeds of Emperor Hongyuan in the palace, and if it involves government decrees, it must be sent to the emperor of heaven.

Generally speaking, this kind of travelogue is the lowest priority in the emperor's affairs, but this time Emperor Hongyuan went against the norm, and quickly reviewed the words and deeds submitted by the secretary of the province, and then issued ten edicts, three of which caused heated discussions.

First of all, the jurisdiction of the prefecture was directly set up as "Qianzhong Dao", and there were several state capitals and counties under the province, and then a bunch of officials were appointed accordingly, from the civil officials to the county orders, and the military generals from the governors of the government to the lieutenants, like a complete set of provincial government teams. The first envoy of Qianzhong Province and the governor of the government was Xiao Tingxiu, the prince of Chu State, who led the general of Sipin Yunlu and led 80,000 soldiers and horses to march from Jiangnan Province to Qianzhong Road. This move meant that the imperial court and the tribes of the state completely turned against each other, and directly incorporated the region into the territory of the direct jurisdiction in official documents, and the armed forces of all tribes were regarded as rebels after that. When Xiao Tingxiu set out on the expedition, he also asked Emperor Hongyuan for a military advisor in charge of intelligence and marching formation, that is, Cao Yingze, the son of the Marquis of Jingyang.

Secondly, Wei Yingshi's daughter Wei Zhiyu asked for war in the palace and was willing to serve in his brother Wei Shaoqing's account. Emperor Hongyuan considered that the battlefield of Guannan Province was stalemate at this time, Wei Zhiyu was a heroic among women, capable of writing and martial arts, and was very familiar with Guannan Province and Guanzhou, and this trip would be of great benefit to the war, so he was named Mrs. Cong Sipin Zhongwu, deputy marshal of the front, and led 30,000 troops to aid Wei Shaoqing.

Again, this short trip to the palace also contributed to a marriage, Emperor Hongyuan personally married Xue Peiqi, the prince of Xincheng, and Xiao Tingchu, the daughter of the prince of Chu, and held a marriage ceremony soon. In addition, I don't know if it was Concubine Xiao Yafei's face or Emperor Hongyuan's discouragement, Xue Peiqi was ordered to return to Beijing and serve as the Shaoqing of Zhengsipin Dali Temple.
