Chapter 196: The Stormy Court Feast

His Majesty the Emperor's visit to Wangjing was very pleasant, and after the Keju, it was followed by a whole sheep roast and a bonfire dinner.

Yu Zhinuan, as the host, was inevitably toasted and toasted, taking the opportunity to win over the relationship, and it didn't take long for him to be a little confused, if it weren't for Rong Yi, Yun Mo and others to protect him, I am afraid that he would have drunk high and fallen asleep.

Such a dinner is destined to be interesting if there is a singing and dancing performance, but with people like Goya and Huer Baichi who can sing and dance, it is destined not to disappoint.

After three rounds of drinking, Goya, who was a little drunk, rushed directly to Yu Zhinuan's side, pulled her up and danced happily around the bonfire. Yu Zhinuan, who just wanted to hide and eat meat, had to be brought to everyone strongly, and he was already a little confused, but now in the center of the city, he had to twist casually, and was forced to dance a broadcast gymnastics with coordinated limbs.

Finally escaped Goya's "clutches", Yu Zhinuan nested in Rong Yi's arms and complained: "Little Rong'er protect me, don't let me be caught by Goya's little princess again, my head is a little dizzy." ”

Rong Yi beckoned his subordinates to bring a thin blanket, wrapped Yu Zhinuan in his arms like a silkworm baby, and whispered in her ear: "I'm here, don't worry." Then he stepped forward and left a shallow kiss on Yu Zhinuan's forehead.

Wrapped in a familiar atmosphere, Yu Zhinuan fell asleep in a daze, and he didn't even know when the emperor left.

Although the interaction between the two is secret, it still falls into the eyes of many people, including loss, jealousy, resentment and unwillingness, all of which are hidden by each other in the laughter of the bonfire.

After the emperor's trip to Wangjing Xiaozhu, Beimeng and Tianyao entered the stage of peace talks. As an important coordinator, Yu Zhinuan had to enter the palace every day, and all parties coordinated in the conference hall prepared by Honglu Temple, not only to strive to achieve the benefit sharing expected by His Majesty the Emperor, but also not to let Xiaobai and them suffer, which was really a little exhausted. Fortunately, there are capable people such as Rong Yi and Yun Mo who are always by their side, often giving advice and offering ideas and coordination, and finally reached a cooperation agreement.

Accounting interests found that in fact, Beimeng still suffered some losses. Hu Erbai has a big heart and unconditional trust in Yu Zhinuan, but he doesn't care about these gains and losses, but Yu Zhinuan is a little reluctant. So Yu Zhinuan signed a cooperation agreement with Beimeng in his personal name in other aspects, although it affected some of his interests, but tried his best to protect Beimeng.

After all, Yu Zhinuan is a "real" businessman, and the lost benefits can only be recovered from the beneficiaries. So Yu Zhinuan was possessed, and ran to the emperor to pretend to be pitiful, hinting that his various hardships and difficulties could make this peace negotiation a successful conclusion. The emperor saw that Yu Zhinuan's errand was completed so beautifully, and he also understood her difficulties, so he gave her convenience in other aspects, so that she could make up for the lost part.

Yu Zhinuan returned home and secretly calculated it by himself, there was no loss, he could still make money, and he was instantly happy.

Yu Zhinuan is full of a sense of accomplishment, and perfectly completes the lubrication effect of the coordinated bridge, which is simply not too good.

Rong Yi looked at the little girl's smug narcissistic smirk, and only felt very cute, imagining her left and right, each breaking through, and finally the three parties win-win, which is really very exciting.

There is never a shortage of surprises in this little girl.

Soon after, it was the day for the Northern Mongolian envoys to return, because the peace talks were very smooth, and His Majesty the Emperor was very happy, and wanted to celebrate a lot, and by the way, he saw off the Northern Mongolian envoys.

As the biggest contributor to the peace talks, Yu Zhinuan naturally received great attention. One day in advance, Gonggong Li came to Wangjing Xiaozhu to deliver the decree, and also gave her a lot of gifts, asking her to prepare well and attend the palace banquet in a beautiful manner.

Yu Zhinuan smiled and agreed, thanked the saint with a smile, sent away Gonggong Li with a smile, and then ...... complained bitterly: "I want to enter the palace again, and it's a palace banquet, I'm so irritable!" ”

Suddenly thought of something, immediately stood up and said with righteous words: "This palace banquet, I just want to eat honestly and be a beautiful woman quietly." You are not allowed to ask me to sing, you are not allowed to dance, you are not allowed to sing poetry, you know? ”

Hua Xie threw a grape into his mouth and complained: "Nianxi, it doesn't seem like we can decide this!" ”

Yu Zhinuan turned his gaze to the little princess Goya, who was doing her nails again.

Goya watched Ning Xiang color her nails, and said without raising her head: "Don't worry, see off the banquet, what kind of dance am I dancing, are you idle?" ”

Yu Zhi warmed his stomach and said: "Actually, you are really idle sometimes. ”

Rong Yi said with a smile: "Ah Nuan is relieved, the last banquet was deliberately handled by Concubine Yu Guifei in order to support Yu Yining, but this time it was handled by the queen, and with the assistance of the Ministry of Etiquette, it should be a rigorous and solemn way, and she will not casually ask the guests to dance and sing!" ”

Yu Zhinuan said: "That's the best!" ”

Just when Yu Zhinuan was worried about these trivial things, the conspiracy behind the scenes was quietly brewing and fermenting......

The palace banquet was really as Rong Yi expected, the atmosphere was obviously much more solemn than the last reception banquet, and an orthodox atmosphere blew Yu Zhinuan trembling, she whispered to Rong Yi: "How can I have the illusion that the mountain rain is about to come and the wind is full of buildings?" ”

Rong Yi laughed in a low voice: "So it's an illusion." ”

He glanced at the surrounding arrangements and continued, "The current queen is a standard young lady of a family, she has been regarded as a concubine since she was a child, she represents orthodoxy and majesty, and naturally she will not be as relaxed and casual as Concubine Yu. ”

Yu Zhinuan nodded and said, "It's just to take out the style of the main palace." ”

Rong Yi smiled slightly and didn't answer again. But there was a feeling of annoyance in his heart for no reason, especially the news that Hua Xie sent to him half an hour ago, which made him a little uneasy.

- "Princess Shizuwa is in Kyoto at this time!" ”

Rong Yi understands that person's temperament, he is a hot temper, he doesn't think that Jinghe came to Kyoto on a whim to play, and there must be a backhand. Moreover, combined with the private contact between Jinghe and Prince Tianyao that I knew before, I am afraid that today's palace banquet will not be too peaceful......

Rong Yi looked at the solemn and slightly depressed palace, and there were some worries that the mountain rain was about to come. The little girl next to her was still smiling and laughing with Hua Xie.

She is so beautiful and so good, she is really reluctant to leave.

Rong Yi quickly stepped forward to Yu Zhinuan's side and took the initiative to hold her little hand.

Yu Zhinuan was a little inexplicable, but he still smiled sweetly at Rong Yi.

When he arrived at the main venue, Yu Zhinuan found that Goya and Huer Baichi had arrived, and they were all dressed in the formal clothes of their own nationality, which looked particularly grand.

Yu Zhinuan's seat was near them as usual, and they simply got together again and chatted.

Yu Yining came to the venue with Concubine Yu, and for the first time, she took the initiative to say hello to Yu Zhinuan.

Yu Zhinuan looked at Yu Yining, who was walking towards him with smiling eyes, and was irritable, and the calculation on his face was about to overflow, which was very inconsistent with his original intention of "just coming to eat". But on such an occasion, she couldn't ignore it arrogantly, so she had to hang up a stiff official smirk and deal with it politely.

Yu Yining: "My sister's clothes are really beautiful today, and they are as delicate as my sister and flowers." ”

Nuan Nuan smirked: "Thank you." ”

Yu Yining: "Although the departure of the Northern Mongolian Mission is imminent, my sister does not need to return to Yongzhou in a hurry, so she should stay in Kyoto for a longer time." ”

Yu Zhinuan continued to smirk: "Feel free." ”

But in his heart, he said, "Are you trying to drive me away?" ”

Yu Yining looked at Yu Zhinuan's cold attitude, and made persistent efforts: "What does my sister think of today's palace banquet?" ”

Yu Zhinuan: "It's good." ”

"Hehe......" Rong Yi unintentionally lowered his head and smiled lightly, causing the two of them to look sideways.

Yu Yining asked a little embarrassedly, "Young Master Rong, is this...... How? ”

Rong Yi: "It's fine. ”

Finally, Yu Yining smiled awkwardly and left.

Looking at the trouble that finally got away, Yu Zhinuan asked, "What was Xiao Rong'er laughing at just now?" ”

Rong Yi said with a gentle face: "I just think that Ah Nuan is very good, and he can go back with two words about anything." ”

Yu Zhinuan said narcissistically: "Blame me for being too good." ”

It didn't take long for the court feast to officially begin.

His Majesty the Emperor led the Empress to the venue with the beauties of the harem. The emperor made an opening remarks and a few congratulatory words, and then the palace banquet officially began.

Such a palace feast must be a business of everyone praising each other, blowing each other's beauty, eating and drinking, toasting each other, watching the show, boasting about the performance, and then it can end smoothly, go home to take a bath and sleep......

However, these are all Yu Zhinuan's imaginations, and reality will always give people a heavy blow in the end.

Originally, the palace banquet had always been carried out normally according to Yu Zhinuan's preset, and she even clearly felt that His Majesty the Emperor was in a good mood, or that the emperor had been in a good mood since they came to Kyoto. During this period, the emperor also took the initiative to drink two glasses with Yu Zhinuan, and his words were full of praise.

Yu Zhinuan was not fluttering, but under the guidance of the emperor, there were more toasters.

Yu Zhinuan, who was a little drunk, leaned on Rong Yi in a daze and complained in a low voice: "When will it end?" ”

Rong Yi helped her massage her shoulders and neck, and said softly: "It's time to come soon." ”

Xu is seeing that the time is almost up, the prince stood up leisurely, smiled and said: "Erchen sees that his father has been in a good mood recently, and he has also prepared a gift, I hope my father will accept it with a smile." ”

The emperor smiled and said, "The emperor has a heart, what kind of gift should be taken out at such an important time today, but I am a little curious." ”

The crown prince said with a smile: "Erchen knows that his father attaches great importance to friendly exchanges between countries, business and trade, and now he has signed a peace treaty with Northern Mongolia, and the cooperation with the Western Regions is about to be put on the agenda. ”

The prince's words fell, which immediately caused a noise on the scene.

The courtiers whispered:

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has contacted Nanfan, this is a sign that our Tianyao is going to unify the four kingdoms!"

"Nanfan and we have never had any contact, and we are cooperating at this time, and our intentions are unclear?"

"It is not known whether this is the unification of the four countries, after all, it is also cooperation with Northern Mongolia."

"But Nanfan has always been lonely, is he really willing to cooperate with us?"

"It's not impossible, isn't that Yongzhou City Lord Yu Zhinuan cooperating with Nanfan's side."

"That's the same."

"Then is this credit to the prince or Yu Zhinuan?"

"Who knows!"

“……”

Although there were constant whispers, everyone was watching the excitement, because no one knew whether it was the icing on the cake or a hidden crisis.

Yu Zhinuan was bored, still confused, as if everyone's talk had nothing to do with her, half leaning on the table with one hand on her cheek, and muttered: "What is the prince trying to do?" ”

Lu Ming and Yun Mo were also inexplicable, and they all watched the play quietly.

But Hua Xie and Rong Yi glanced at each other silently, and each other's eyes were vigilant.
