Volume 8 Thunder in the Daytime Chapter 71 A Small Banquet

On the night of the spring equinox, there is already a bit of heat in the blue sea country. In the lotus pond that has been spent in winter, the remnants of the branches and willows have long been gone, and they are replaced by the green leaves swaying by the lake wind.

Zhu Zhiling came to the city wall wearing a robe, and the soldiers on duty were scattered in all directions, leaving her alone to stand at the head of the wall. After a while, a small figure flashed by the cornice, and in a blink of an eye ducked under the corner wall.

"Yinhua has come to resurrect." A girl's voice rang out.

"Is it all done?"

"Emperor Wen has no objection to His Royal Highness's proposal, and the envoy who proposed marriage will also leave soon."

"Oh......" Everything went smoothly according to plan, but Zhu Zhiling looked full of loss on her face. She wasn't dissatisfied with Yinhua's errand, but she was too disappointed by today's ending at Fuxingtai.

Such a well-planned royal trial could not be convicted on the spot, but a retrial at a later date, if Pei Guogong took the opportunity to find a way to rescue him, his mother may not hesitate. Lu Wenchi, if he can't fall with one blow, then he and Wuyun's years of forbearance and hard work will come to naught. How should this be?

What gave her the most headache was how to face Zhao Wuyin. Since her mother returned to the Yi Palace, Zhu Zhiling has hid on the grounds of physical discomfort. She was afraid to see him, and even more afraid to see the disappointed look on his face. But even if you survive tonight, what about tomorrow?

"Where is Liu Mingyan now?"

"Back to Your Highness, Governor Liu has returned to the Kuntou ship, and is still parked in Luoxia Bay."

Zhu Zhiling sighed. Presumably she was also extremely disappointed, even if there was no Nanhua gold sales case, such a conclusive treasury corruption case should be able to make Lu Wenchi fall into a place of no return, but her mother didn't even listen to it, and the music handed over was like a stone sinking into the sea, and she didn't even see a splash.

According to the usual night, she should be rewarded with a banquet tonight for her work in pacifying the pirates in the Southern Regions, and she must have been so disheartened that she didn't even want to stay in Taiye, so she returned to the Kuntou ship.

"Cangwu's business, I will tell you to do it in a few days, and today you will retreat." Zhu Zhiling felt a dull pain in her temples, and she didn't have the strength to think about Emperor Wen anymore. She suddenly seemed to remember something, and said: "After you leave the Liufang Gate, you will send an order to Tiehua for me, before Lu Wenchi was arraigned, she personally guarded the water prison, and no one was allowed to visit, especially Pei Guogong!" If someone has to visit, it can be said that there is only one key, come to me on the Fuxing platform and ask for it! Do you hear me? ”

Yinhua answered and disappeared into the night.

Boundless, are you hating me for being useless?

On the same night, some people didn't think about tea and dinner, some people feasted, some people frowned, and some people laughed.

On the Feiyan Platform of Qinglian Palace, it is deserted on weekdays, and it is rarely so brightly lit today. It was rare for her sister to say that she wanted to come to dinner, so Zhu Zhijie made a few dishes and brought home-brewed gourd wine. And he set the feast on the terrace. Facing the moonlight, the evening breeze is light, very freehand.

Looking at the table of good dishes in front of her, Zhu Zhijie couldn't help but think of someone. She sat down and poured herself a glass, and said to herself, "It's a pity you're not there......"

Li Chongyan has only been gone for eight days, and she already feels as if she has been eight years. In retrospect, the days before he appeared were unconscious, and in the blink of an eye, spring, summer, autumn and winter had already passed. And since he entered Penglai Pavilion, as long as she opened her eyes every day, she would carefully calculate every hour.

What snacks are you going to give him today? Where are you going to go with him today? What kind of pranks will you hear today? Oh...... How many days will it take for him to leave the Blue Sea Country and return to Cangwu today?

As long as I think of the last question, I can't help but hang my head. I don't know if he is the same as himself and doesn't want to go back. What if he didn't have to go back?

Thinking of this, Zhu Zhijie laughed herself, this kind of thought is really a fool's dream, he is the king of a country in the future, how can he live in the blue sea and not go back.

Hey, nine times out of ten, things in life are not as good as they should be...... But...... But! Nine times out of ten, it means that it is unsatisfactory, isn't there still one or two points that are wishful? Since I was born Zhu Zhijie, there has been nothing unsatisfactory. If God opens his eyes, as I once wanted, let him be with me, or...... can let me marry Cangwu and stay with him for old age. Even if everything goes wrong for the rest of your life, it's okay......

The jade wrist was raised lightly, and the glass of wine was drunk, and she almost burst into tears.

A crisp voice suddenly sounded in his ears: "Sister, why haven't we come yet, you should drink it first." When I looked up, it was my sister Zhu Zhitong.

"You said you wanted to bring someone to dinner, so I prepared some wine and food, this wine was brewed by me, I was worried that it would not be good, so I tasted a glass first, why did you come in quietly, I didn't hear." Zhu Zhijie hid the sadness on her face and smiled reluctantly.

"It's my sister who thinks too much, and you don't even notice that three big living people like us came in." Zhu Zhitong suddenly teased: "Are you thinking about that Cangwu ......?"

"Sister! I really didn't cover it as soon as I opened my mouth! Zhu Zhijie was said to be half of her face red, and then she saw that Zhu Zhitong was followed by two people.

It was Su Xiaochen and Yang Huairen.

Yang Huairen bowed respectfully: "Meet Her Royal Highness Princess Qingle, I wish Your Highness happiness and happiness, and a long and blessed life." ”

Su Xiaochen is not as exaggerated as him, according to Zhu Zhitong's instructions before, he only bowed five points according to the etiquette of his peers, but he still said: "Xiaosheng greets Her Royal Highness the princess." ”

Zhu Zhitong couldn't help but pat Yang Huairen, "Old Yang, are you crazy again?" Today we are here to eat, not to celebrate the birthday, what a long life, can you first understand the meaning of the words next time before using it. ”

Zhu Zhijie was really amused this time, and hurriedly greeted: "Yang Gongzi has been an acquaintance many times, how can he be courteous today." Please take a seat. He smiled at Su Xiaochen and said, "Master Su is also invited." ”

It's not that he is colder to Su Xiaochen than Yang Huairen, it's just that when he sees Su Xiaochen, he will think of him...... When her sister said that she was going to bring Su Xiaochen with her in the evening, she was looking forward to it. Since he is the prince's companion, he probably knows a lot of things about him, even if he listens to him a few words, it is better than thinking out of thin air. But when we met, I was a little restrained. Xu was too concerned, and in order not to reveal a deliberate expression, he was a little evasive.

"Speaking of which, why don't you even have a person in Qinglian Palace? What about the palace ladies? Zhu Zhitong was a little strange.

"Knowing that you don't like to be served, I sent them to bed early. Let's eat as much as we like. Come, please take your seats, too. "Zhu Zhijie's arrangement is always so ironed, which is impeccable. She pointed to the dishes on the table and said, "Our Bihai Country is located in a summer region, so we have the habit of eating cold all year round, I don't know if Master Su is used to eating." ”

Su Xiaochen has been influenced by Ye Zhiqiu since he was a child, and unlike other children in Beijing, his clothing, food, housing and transportation are quite simple. Especially when it comes to diet, it's not particular. Sometimes after reading a book for a long time, just let people take two meat buns from the kitchen as a meal, where do you care about the details of hot and cold. He replied immediately: "His Royal Highness Lao asked, I don't mind cold or hot food." ”

"That's fine, that's fine, just because I look at him...... Always love to eat hot. My word is the custom of your country. As soon as Zhu Zhijie's words came out, she was shocked to think of him again after just a few words, and her face turned red again.

Zhu Zhitong sat opposite her but didn't see it, she picked up the wine jug and poured a glass, and saw that the color of the wine was different from ordinary wine, very turbid, and it showed a faint blue color, and showed off proudly: "This is the gourd wine made by my sister, you should taste it." After speaking, he poured a cup for Yang Huairen and Su Xiaochen.

Su Xiaochen saw that the wine was cloudy, and he was strange. Suddenly, the cup was churning like a cloud, and in a blink of an eye the wine had been divided into two layers, the upper layer was as clear as water, and the lower layer was thick as an oar.

"The upper layer is the gourd liquid, and the lower layer is the wine syrup. In the same pot of wine, the amount of melon liquid and syrup in each cup is slightly different, so the taste will be different from the previous glass. Zhu Zhitong spoke eloquently, obviously very clear about the beauty of this wine. She shook the flask lightly and poured a glass for her sister.

"It's like being in the world, if every day is a normal taste, you will feel lackluster. You have to change your way to make your life more interesting. Isn't it? Yang Huairen took a sip after speaking, and praised it in his mouth.

Zhu Zhijie saw that he was very conscious of himself, and nodded: "Yang Gongzi said very much, and I think so too." ”

Yang Huairen suddenly changed his words, and then said: "It's just that this subtle difference is just a small difference after all, and it still can't jump out of the same pot of wine." If it's me, I'll prepare another kind of wine. Since this gourd wine is sweet and delicious, let's prepare another ...... The spicy wine in the mouth is thick and light in the mouth. Life in the world is to enjoy ups and downs. Speaking of which, I have a kind of wine called 'praying mantis thorn' in Imuran, the taste is very strong, and the entrance will never be forgotten, why not bring it next time I invite His Highness to taste it? After speaking, he looked at Zhu Zhijie with a smile.

Zhu Zhitong shouted on the side: "Sister, don't listen to him, what kind of mantis thorn, I've tasted it." It's just the same as cutting your tongue, your tongue is numb for a long time after drinking, and you can't feel the taste of anything you eat. It is indeed an unforgettable entrance, and such a difficult wine can be forgotten! ”

Zhu Zhijie was stunned, she felt that Yang Huairen seemed to have something to say, and she couldn't help but wonder in her ears, he was saying that my current life is like this pot of gourd wine, and it tastes the same every day.

After Yang Huairen finished speaking, he didn't care, and he was not polite, so he ate the vegetables himself. Su Xiaochen listened curiously, and asked Zhu Zhitong: "Xiaoxiao, Brother Yang, there are any special wines that you have tasted and never forgotten." ”

"I haven't tasted a few kinds of wine, but there are a lot of all kinds of food, but unfortunately there is almost nothing to eat, either it looks black and dark or it is very rough in the mouth, and our seafood in the blue sea cannot be compared."
