Chapter 366: Palace Banquet
In an instant, Xie Yutang's eyes straightened.
The little maid beside Chi Wan pursed her lips and smiled, Chi Wan didn't expect that Xie Yutang would be stunned, and she felt funny for a while. This smile is a little more pyrotechnic. Xie Yutang also reacted, walked quickly to Chi Wan, held her arm, and praised without hesitation, "Madam is comparable to a fairy in the sky today." ”
Chi Wan glanced at him, "You know the flamboyant tongue." ”
Xie Yutang felt very wronged, he wasn't flamboyant, he really thought that Chi Wan was better looking than the fairies in the sky.
The two of them walked in front, and the maids followed behind, Xie Yutang couldn't help it, and came to Chi Wan's hair to smell it, and sighed with satisfaction, "Madame is so fragrant." ”
"Is there one? I didn't use incense, by the way, the incense in the room should be on us, how do you think it is fragrant. ”
"It's not the incense in the room, it's Wanwan's own fragrance."
The sudden love words made Ji Wan's face red again.
At the gate of Xie Mansion, the carriage had already been prepared, Xie Yutang carefully helped Chi Wan into the carriage, and then went up by himself, which had already been arranged according to Chi Wan's preferences, snacks, melons and fruits, and soft cushions.
Chi Wan leaned comfortably in Xie Yutang's arms, the two of them whispered, and before they knew it, they had arrived at the gate of the palace.
Carriages were not allowed in the palace, so the two could only get out of the carriage and walk. Xie Yutang is still the same as before, taking care of everywhere, and watching the next carriage very closely, for fear that Chi Wan will bump into it.
When the nobles not far away saw this scene, they were so jealous that they couldn't keep the smile on their faces, who would have thought that Chi Wan, who they looked down on before, would have such a day.
But I can't envy it, who asked someone to marry such a powerful husband.
Ji Wan didn't know anything about this, even if she knew, she wouldn't care, those people had nothing to do with her, so why should she care.
After entering the main hall, many ministers had already taken their seats. Because the position of the top was still vacant, everyone was chatting warmly, and someone saw Xie Yutang with sharp eyes, and immediately walked over with a smile.
"Oh, General Xie, tell the old man to wait, you can be regarded as coming."
Seeing this, Chi Wan knew that it was a little inappropriate for her to stay here any longer, so she said to Xie Yutang and went to the woman's side.
Before leaving, Xie Yutang was still a little worried and explained, "Don't be afraid, something is coming to me." ”
When the ministers who came over heard it, they praised Xie Yutang for being a good husband who pampered his wife, and then did what he liked, desperately praising Chi Wan, but whenever he praised Chi Wan, Xie Yutang responded one by one, and the curvature of the corners of his mouth never fell, and he looked honored, for fear that others would not know Chi Wan's goodness
Chatting and chatting, more and more people came over, and Xie Yutang was surrounded in the middle, and he was suddenly a little too busy.
Every word you say to these people, Xie Yutang's head is about to explode, he is very impatient with this kind of scene, and he also knows that the purpose of these people is nothing more than to see him favored, so he wants to come over and cling to the relationship.
After coping with a few words, I couldn't stand it, so I squeezed out of the crowd under the pretext of going to the toilet.
Those who came to talk were a little unhappy when they saw him leave like this, they were still old men in the imperial court, what is Xie Yutang, he is just a hairy boy, he dares to ignore them like this.
At that time, there was some small jealousy.
"What is it, it's just that he has just been crowned a general of the world's soldiers and horses, what is there to be proud of."
"I look at him, and it won't be long before I look at him."
"I think so, ignore us, tsk, does he think that His Majesty can look down on us by relying on him? Wait, I don't know what will happen in the future. ”
Several people hid in the corner, whispering.
And the person being talked about had just come out of the latrine. The table hadn't opened yet, and Xie Yutang didn't want to go in again and be surrounded by people, so he stayed outside for a while.
"Yutang, why don't you go in." A warm voice came from behind itself.
Xie Yutang looked back and saw that the King of Chu was striding over, and hurriedly saluted, "See Your Majesty." ”
The king of Chu helped him, "You don't need so many courtesies." ”
"After all, he is a monarch and a minister, and the etiquette cannot be abolished." Xie Yutang is serious and authentic.
King Chu smiled, "You, you, you just have a lot of rules, okay, those old things in it are probably in a hurry, go in quickly." ”
With a sound of "The emperor has arrived", everyone at the palace banquet knelt down, and the king of Chu waved his hand, and said happily, "Everyone Aiqing is flat." ”
Everyone got up, and after a look, they found that Xie Yutang was actually standing with the King of Chu, and they couldn't help muttering in their hearts, the King of Chu really doted on Xie Yutang.
Under the announcement of the king of Chu, the palace banquet officially began.
Chi Wan breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, her situation just now was similar to Xie Yutang's, she was also surrounded by many noble girls, she praised her from head to toe, Chi Wan was very calm, no matter what she said, she could deal with it calmly.
In fact, she doesn't like to deal with these people, these are some people who see the high and the low, and when they see that they are developed, they all come around. Fortunately, King Chu appeared in time, otherwise she really didn't know how to deal with it.
Rubbing her cheeks, which were a little sour with a smile, Chi Wan couldn't help but breathe a long sigh of relief.
"Mrs. Xie, I heard that I am very skilled, I wonder if I and all the ministers here will be lucky enough to meet me?" Just when Chi Wan thought that she just needed to make a decoration and sit there and wait for the palace banquet to end, the king of Chu suddenly called her name.
Chi Wan was stunned for a moment, how could her three-legged cat kung fu be ugly in front of the King of Chu, and immediately excused herself, "Your Majesty, forget it, the concubine is nothing." ”
The king of Chu didn't care, "Women who know kung fu are rare, and Mrs. Xie doesn't need to be modest." ”
The king of Chu said so, and it was impossible for Chi Wan to refuse again, otherwise it would be tantamount to losing the emperor's face in public, and he immediately threw a look at Xie Yutang, who asked for help, but found that the other party was looking at her encouragingly.
As if she had taken a reassuring pill, Chi Wan thought about it, isn't it just a few strokes, the king of Chu said that he didn't mind, so she was not welcome.
Thinking of this, Chi Wan stepped out generously, walked to the middle of the banquet, and bowed, "Then the concubine is better to be respectful than to obey her fate." ”
The king of Chu had already ordered someone to send a sword over, Chi Wan checked it, fortunately, the sword body is not heavy, and it can easily dance in his hand.
It's not really that she wants to test her kung fu here, so Chi Wan herself didn't pay much attention to it, but she has a slender figure and a neat posture, even if she makes a few random strokes, it is pleasing to the eye.
Looking at Chi Wan, who suddenly turned momentum and was heroic in the field, Xie Yutang suddenly felt a little tight. There is an urgent idea in my heart to hide Chi Wan, such a Chi Wan can only be shown to him alone.
Fortunately, Chi Wan only gestured casually, then stopped, and said, "Your Majesty, the concubine is ugly." ”
The King of Chu stood up and clapped his hands in admiration, "Okay, good, very good, Mrs. Xie is really a woman who doesn't let her eyebrows." ”
Seeing this, some people immediately followed, "Yes, yes, Mrs. Xie's set of swordsmanship just now, just in the middle with softness, soft in the soft, is really rare." ”
"I'm waiting for today's eye-opening, and I really admire it."
Ji Wan was stunned, is it really that good? She's just dancing casually, isn't she lying to her.
The King of Chu was very happy to hear this, "Since Mrs. Xie dances so well, I can't do without saying it, so I will reward you with a hundred taels of gold and seal Mrs. Fate." ”
The hall was strangely quiet, and Chi Wan was even more stunned, and she didn't react for a long time.
"Mrs. Xie, are you still dissatisfied with my reward? If you bring it up, I will try my best to satisfy you. ”
Everyone looked at each other, and then there was a warm response, what Your Majesty is wise, Mrs. Xie's order Mrs. is well deserved, and the sycophants don't need money to shoot out,
Chi Wan finally reacted, for this inexplicable fate, to be honest, she was a little weak and didn't want it so much.
But the emperor's words have already been spoken, if she refuses, won't she slap the emperor in the face?
Thinking of this, Chi Wan had to pretend to be happy, thanked her, and received the reward.
"Okay, okay, I'm happy today, and I'll have another drink with all Aiqing." The king of Chu raised his wine glass and greeted everyone.
Everyone raised their glasses and blessed the tsunami.
This palace banquet lasted until the second watch, and then slowly dispersed. When the banquet was about to end, the king of Chu stopped Xie Yutang, "General Xie, you stay, I still have something to say to you." ”
When the ministers who had not yet left heard this, they all looked at Xie Yutang with envy, the king of Chu was so good to Xie Yutang that he even left people alone to speak.
Only Chi Wan gradually felt a little uncomfortable in her heart.
In front of so many people, the King of Chu did this, is it really for Xie Yutang. Why does she think that there are several ministers, looking at Xie Yutang's eyes, they are all a little unkind?
They are also all old men who have followed the King of Chu, and they have been by his side since he was still the prince, but they have not received the same treatment as Xie Yutang, so it is conceivable that they must not be very happy in their hearts.
Will they squeeze out Xie Yutang in the future, they are all officials in the court, although Chi Wan has never been an official, but she knows very well in other aspects, and knows a lot of twists and turns.
The king of Chu did not stay in Xie Yutang for long, and Chi Wan only stayed in the carriage for a cup of tea, and then saw Xie Yutang who came in with the curtain lifted.
The carriage drove through the quiet streets, and only the sound of the wheels could be heard.
In the carriage, neither Chi Wan nor Xie Yutang spoke.
Chi Wan didn't speak because she was thinking about the things at the palace banquet, and Xie Yutang didn't speak because he was a little drunk, and he was leaning against the car wall at this time to close his eyes and recuperate, but his hand was holding Chi Wan's fingers, playing with it lightly and heavily, and the warm touch made him love it.
