Liu Xi's 100-day banquet came as scheduled, Liu Yao finally did not resist Liu Cong, set up the banquet in the palace, and invited high-ranking officials and dignitaries in Pingyang City, to make this milk doll's 100-day banquet lively. At noon, the whole hall was full of people, and it was very lively, among these people, most of them were members of the clan surnamed Liu, and there were also some people with outstanding merits, who were happy and talked happily.

But among these people, there are also some people who are not worried, they are all former ministers of the Jin Dynasty, in the face of the former queen of the Jin Dynasty giving birth to offspring to the Han family, they all feel that their faces are dull, and they are deeply ashamed, they also know why Liu Cong has to call them for the great joy of the Han family, it is nothing more than to lower their faces, so that they don't have any wrong thoughts, so when Yang Xianrong held the child and walked to the main hall hand in hand with Liu Yao, in the celebration of the Manchu Dynasty, they looked at each other and sighed secretly.

Liu Cong then arrived, and before everyone finished the ceremony, he excitedly said to Liu Yao and Yang Xianrong: "Quickly hold the child and show me." ”

Liu Yao smiled and took the child from Yang Xianrong's hand and sent it to Liu Cong, the child was born 100 days ago, Liu Cong only met once on the third day of birth, and when he met again, he found that the child was very different from what he had seen before, white and tender and very cute. At this time, Liu Xi had just woken up, spit out his little red tongue and looked at Liu Cong without blinking, and then handed him a smiling face.

"Look, look." Liu Cong said in surprise: "This kid and his uncle smiled at me." ”

When he had said this, the whole hall burst into laughter. Liu Cong saw that the child was just a small two, but as if he had seen a big scene, when he heard such noise, not only was he not afraid, but laughed again, so he liked this child more and more, and personally took out a piece of jade from his arms and put it in Liu Xi's arms.

Liu Yao saw it clearly, this was the piece of jade that their father gave each of them when they were born, this was an extremely valuable gift, Liu Cong did not leave it to his children but gave it to Liu Xi, which is really meaningful. Liu Yao hurriedly excused himself: "Your Majesty, this must not be done." ”

Liu Cong glanced at Liu Yao and said dissatisfiedly: "Why not?" You want to stop my gift for my nephew? Could it be that it is an old thing? Don't worry, there will be no shortage of other gifts for children, so I, as an uncle, will not treat my nephew lightly. ”

Liu Yao stopped talking, turned around and winked at Yang Xianrong. After a while, little Liu Xi was sleepy, Liu Yao handed him over to the nurse and hugged him, and the banquet officially began. Everyone took their seats, because it was not a particularly formal occasion, and the princes and ministers were very casual and ate and drank at any costume.

Liu Yao and Yang Xianrong sat together, next to Liu Ling, Liu Yao had been carefully observing Liu Ling, and sure enough, he saw her constantly glancing at Sima Chi, and Sima Chi was at the same table with an old minister of the Jin Dynasty, eating with his head bored, he didn't take Liu out, saying that Liu was unwell and recuperating at home. Liu Yao sighed and looked at Liu Cong, Liu Cong obviously understood what Liu Yao meant, suddenly put down his wine glass, and shouted, "Huiji County Gong." ”

Sima Chi suddenly heard Liu Cong shouting at him, and was stunned for a moment before he stood up leisurely, bowed slightly to Liu Cong, and said, "The minister is here." ”

"Everyone is happy to drink today, the wine is falling quickly, you can help you pour a wine." Sima Chi said lightly.

As soon as these words came out, the princes in the hall all looked at Sima Chi, and instantly coaxed, Sima Chi's face turned red, endured it, and bowed down again: "Obey the order." He was about to come out after answering the words, but the people around him pulled the corner of his clothes, he paused, but still attended to pick up the wine jar and pour the wine for the princes and ministers one by one.

Liu Ling suddenly stood up and shouted, "Your Majesty......"

Before the words could be spoken, Liu Cong smiled and said, "What? You've run out of wine too? My sister is really a heroine among women, and she is good at drinking," he said and beckoned Sima Chi and said: "Huiji Jungong, hurry up, pour the wine for the eldest princess first." ”

Liu Ling moved his mouth and didn't say the rest of the words. She understood the warning in Liu Cong's eyes, she understood, Liu Cong already knew about the matter between her and Sima Chi, his move today was just a reminder to himself, Sima Chi was an inferior person in this Han Kingdom, saying that he was the prince of Huiji, but he was just a slave, and she Liu Ling was noble, she was the eldest princess of the Han Kingdom, and she should respect herself.

Liu Ling sat down in disdain, watched Sima Chi walk up to her, filled her wine glass with wine, bowed slightly to her, and retreated away, she felt uncomfortable and ate silently.

Liu Yao was a little relieved, although Liu Ling valued his feelings, he was still sensible after all, and he didn't fall into it because of Sima Chi, otherwise he didn't know what would happen in the future, his father was very relieved when he left, she was a girl's family, and she took the children of the Sima family, he was afraid that no one would protect her anymore when he left, and she would lose the security in the second half of her life, so he and Liu Cong swore in front of their father's spirit that they would protect this young sister for the rest of her life no matter what. Scholarly

Slowly, there was some disharmony at the banquet, and those old ministers of the Jin Dynasty felt uncomfortable when they saw Sima Chi groveling to pour wine for the Xiongnu princes, and they didn't dare to show it on their faces just now, but they were a little impulsive with the strength of the wine for a while, and they saw one person standing up and said to Liu Cong: "Your Majesty, the prince of Huiji County is long live my Jin family, such a vulgar thing should not be done by him, and please Your Majesty take care of our face and let the prince of Huiji County enter the banquet for dinner." ”

Liu Cong raised his eyebrows, looked at the person who spoke, and said, "If he doesn't do it, you do?" ”

That person's face was even worse, he was also an important minister of the Jin Dynasty, he had been served by people before and after, and he already felt wronged when he entered this Pingyang City, and he was absolutely unwilling to let him do the work done by this inferior talent. He stopped talking, and the other stood up again, evidently a little drunk, already a little drunk, and speaking with a big tongue.

"I said, Your Majesty of the Han Dynasty, if you humiliate Your Majesty like this, one day, you will be punished, and God will not let go of people like you, My Majesty is the chosen one, the pride of heaven, and I can't be neglected."

Liu Cong couldn't help but laugh when he heard this, and pointed at the man: "I remember that last time it was this person from your family who told me that I am the chosen son, why, what he said turned out to be not sincere, in his heart, did he still think that he was the chosen son?" Saying that, he nodded: "Or it used to be, but now, he is only worthy of pouring wine for the princes and nobles of my Han Dynasty at the banquet of my Han Dynasty." With that, he raised his glass and asked everyone in the seat, "Yes and no?" ”

Almost all the people in the hall below stood up. Liu Yao got up, looked at the embarrassed sheep, smiled and comforted her to sit at ease, and blocked her behind him. Then the main hall was heard with the roar of the crowd: "Yes".

The faces of the old ministers of the Jin Dynasty were blue and white for a while, and they didn't dare to say anything more, they sat down honestly, Sima Chi sighed secretly, took a few steps forward, knelt down in front of Sima Chi, and said: "The minister Sima Chi is sincerely obedient, since he is already a Han minister, he should respect the Han lord, and he dare not think about it anymore." They didn't understand the minister's thoughts, thinking that the minister was wronged, and it was not unwilling, but the protector was anxious, but when they were drunk, they forgot who the master was, and asked His Majesty for forgiveness. ”

Liu Cong raised a smile, glanced at the ministers, waved his hand, and let Sima Chi retreat like a fly away, and then drank with everyone casually.

It was already afternoon at the end of the banquet, Liu Cong dragged his tired body to the dormitory, but was blocked by Liu Ling, he glanced at her, thinking that she came to ask him for the guilt because of Sima Chi's matter, so he was a little impatient and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

"When did the fourth brother know?" Liu Ling asked.

When Liu Cong heard this, he became a little angry: "You are so taboo, you pull and pull on the street out of character, are you afraid that others will not know?" He pointed at Liu Ling and said angrily: "The men of the Han Dynasty are not a hundred times stronger than the weak scholars of the Jin Dynasty?" Why do you value people with the surname Sima so much? One is not enough, another one? ”

Liu Ling moved his lips and didn't speak, but his eyes were red, and he glared at Liu Cong stubbornly.

Liu Cong immediately softened, in the end, it was his little sister, although the age difference between the two was a little big, it didn't prevent him from hurting her when he was a child, seeing everyone around her, he was also distressed when he was lonely and pulling a child, but no matter how distressed he was, he couldn't watch Liu Ling do foolish things and ignore it. He glanced at the people around him, and stretched out his hand to pull Liu Ling into his study.

He took out a stack of papers from the bookcase and handed it to Liu Ling, saying, "Take a look for yourself." ”

Liu Ling took the paper suspiciously, it turned out to be evidence that Sima Chi had private contact with the old ministers of the Jin Dynasty, and even he had contact with the spies in Chang'an City who had mixed into Pingyang City, what he wanted to do, needless to say.

Liu Ling asked, "You always knew that he was doing these things in private?" ”

"Not really." Liu Cong said: "This person was so good at covering up before that I ignored his ambitions, and I always thought that he was so down, what else could he do?" It wasn't until someone told me some time ago that I saw Sima Chi riding a horse with you in the suburbs, and I didn't want to believe it, but a few days ......ago, Liu Cong didn't want to say Liu Yao, but said: "Someone told me again that I saw you and Sima Chi pulling and pulling near your mansion, so I had to give you a warning." As for checking him, it's because Chang'an City has been a little unpeaceful these days, and I have an extra heart and let people follow Sima Chi for a while, only to find out that he has some problems. Liu Cong looked at Liu Ling sadly, and he was a little sad, but he didn't explain some things, just afraid that this stupid sister would be confused, "This Sima Chi is a little sincere to you, you should be able to feel it yourself, and you should know what his purpose for approaching you is." As he spoke, he accentuated his tone again, "Is it possible, do you really want to be the queen of the Jin family who is about to die?" ”
