Chapter 65: The Night Feast

The Hundred Flowers Hall in the Imperial Garden of Weiyang Palace, the lights and shadows are dark, and many servants and maids are busy preparing food and wine, a magnificent royal scene.

The Hundred Flowers Hall is dedicated to banquets, with three main halls and six secondary halls, which can accommodate up to thousands of people to dine together.

There are many people invited tonight, in addition to the hundreds of officials in the court, some powerful families in the imperial capital also have quotas. For example, the Wei family, the Xie family, the Jia family and other famous families.

Jing Ge is a marquis, and his seat is in the main hall.

Jing Ge looked around the audience, obviously ranking by status, the closest to the main seat were the seats of several princes, followed by princes and nobles. Then to the prime minister, the general and the like, the seats of the Wei family and other families are also ranked in front of themselves.

Uh-huh?

Jing Ge's spiritual sense was keen, and he faintly felt that someone had been staring at him since he entered the hall, like a thorn in his back, which made him feel a slight chill.

Jing Ge pretended to turn his head inadvertently, constantly glancing, looking for the person.

Soon he discovered that more than one person was looking at him.

In the seat slightly lower of the throne, King Qi Li Qizheng glared at him viciously, full of hatred.

It's not this second goods, Jing Ge shook his head secretly. How could such an idiot allow himself to feel dangerous.

A woman of the same age beside King Qi was also looking at him through gritted teeth.

"That is the little princess Li Yao, the daughter of the Empress Wu." Qianxue sat next to him in full costume, but she didn't forget her identity at all, paying careful attention to Jing Ge's every move, reminding her in a timely manner, and doing her best.

"The one I beaten?" Jing Ge said in a low voice.

Qianxue nodded.

What a bastard he was before he lost his memory, and he did such a thing as beating a girl.

"No wonder he stared intently at His Highness's handsome face." Jing Ge realized.

Look at the next person who looks at him, he is also a woman, gentle and dignified, and quite generous.

"That's the eldest princess Li Man." Chiyuki whispered.

"Eldest princess? Have I offended her too? Jing Ge asked.

"Well, as far as I know, it doesn't seem to be." Chiyuki hesitated.

Fortunately, looking at her gaze, it doesn't seem to carry much malice, but she is simply attracted by the handsomeness of His Royal Highness.

When he looked at it again, he happened to meet the gaze of the fourth prince Li Su, he raised his glass from afar, and Jing Ge also raised his glass in response.

Is this feeling from Ouyang Tong? Jing Ge saw Ouyang Tong on the offering table also looking at him, as well as his son, who was a general in the city guards.

Yes, the killing intent of the two fathers and sons came from the War King.

Looking at the seats behind him, Jiang Tu was also watching, his eyes were very provocative, and his breath had broken through to the realm of grandmasters.

It's a good seedling, but it's a pity it's a stupid fork! Jing Ge commented in his heart.

He searched out the people who paid attention to him one by one, but this feeling still did not disappear, and none of these people except Ouyang Tong were too afraid of him.

No, there is another one, Jingge Shenjue is extremely powerful, and he has found the source of this qi.

It was the monk sitting next to Ouyang Tong, his eyes closed, his huge Buddha beads hanging around his neck, sitting cross-legged on the cushion, the candle flame reflected on his bare head, he was visiting himself.

The Warlord had reminded him that he needed to keep an eye on him.

The top powerhouse in the king realm is still invincible, if he makes a move on himself, I am afraid it will be difficult to escape, Jing Ge made a judgment.

But why is he eyeing me, is it also because of the war king? I still know the secret of my body. Anyway, he hasn't made a move on me yet, so I need to hurry up and get stronger.

Time is pressing, there will be big changes at any time, and my strength is still far from enough.

There is also the old man in the shape of a skeleton and the swordsman with a broken arm, who once besieged the war king together, and if there is a chance in the future, they should avenge his old man's family. Jing Ge thought about it.

Although he spent very little time with the War King. But he respects his temperament and character, attaches great importance to love and righteousness, is above board, and treats himself like a nephew, and is a person with the most affection and nature. At the last moment, he passed on his life's skills to himself, which can be regarded as a master.

The Empress Wu appeared on the throne, and the hundred officials saluted and sat down.

"Today, the dynasty has been reorganized, and many new officials have been appointed. The important ministers of the court and the famous families are all in this hall. Since the twenty-third year of the First Emperor, the politics of my Great Qin have really not been clear, and this palace has always wanted to change this status quo. Hence yesterday's move. ”

"From this moment on, as long as you have talent and are loyal to my Daqin, you can be reused. Hongu hopes that all of you here will work together to govern the country well and make it prosperous. It is our duty to stabilize the world and recover our great Qin rivers and mountains, and we must no longer plunge the government into chaos and corruption. If there is a person who violates the law, this palace will not be spared. ”

The majestic voice of the Empress Wu spread throughout the entire hall and clearly reached everyone's ears.

"Obey the Divine Commandment." The hundred officials replied in unison.

"Secretaries, please sit down, don't be restrained, don't talk about state affairs tonight, just go home happy." Empress Wu said.

Immediately, a palace maid entered the arena and danced to cheer up.

Empress Wu didn't seem to like it very much, or she felt that she couldn't let go of the ministers, so she left the banquet after a short time. Several kings also left one after another, they were obsessed with martial arts, and naturally they were not used to this kind of occasion.

When Jing Ge looked at Shangguan Junyue, she found that she was talking and laughing with the princes, and the ministers were also a little more relaxed after the Empress Wu left, laughing and talking in groups.

Yu Jue, who likes to be lively, seems to be very happy here, wandering around, chatting with others from time to time, looking like she is familiar with herself, and she has a lot of fun. Only Qianxue sat straight beside Jing Ge.

"Go find something to eat, it's rare to have a chance to taste the food in the palace." Jing Ge said.

"Okay." After all, Qianxue is just a girl, and she is also a little excited to look at the countless exotic fruit delicacies on those tables.

Jing Ge quietly escaped out of the Hundred Flowers Palace, he didn't like to be lively with these people, but wanted to take the opportunity to wander around the Weiyang Palace.

Here he had a strange feeling, strange and familiar, that he should have been here before. Maybe it can evoke some memories and understand the mysteries of the lower palace.

The imperial garden of Weiyang Palace is very wide, and there are armor soldiers patrolling at night, but there are not many batches. Jing Ge avoided it as much as possible, and looked at the stone bridge rockery by the bright moonlight.

Well, I did come to these places. Seeing these scenes, some sporadic fragments began to flash in his mind, the young Yue'er, those royal heirs.

"Ahead is a forbidden place." Someone behind him said.

Jing Ge turned around and saw a woman standing on the white jade bridge, it was the eldest princess Li Man.

She was alone, without a guard, her hands were in the sleeves of her robe, the hem of her clothes moved with the wind, she had a dignified temperament, and her goose-egg-shaped face was delicate. At first glance, it doesn't look stunning, but the more you look at it, the more durable it becomes. According to the book of Mai physiognomy, this is the face of the wife.

She was not born after martial arts, how could she be so similar to her, but she was better looking than a few other crooked melons and cracked dates, Jing Ge muttered in her heart.

In fact, several princes and princesses are not crooked, but handsome.

"You also think it's a little stuffy in the Hundred Flowers Palace, don't you?" Without waiting for Jing Ge to reply, she smiled and continued.

Jing Ge nodded.

"What's up ahead?" He asked.

"Shrine Temple."

"Oh." It turned out to be the residence of those kings.

"Why don't you go with me and walk around somewhere else?" Li Man opened his mouth to invite.

"Okay."

Jing Ge spread his hands indifferently and walked to her side.

"I heard you're injured and forgot about the past?" Li Man asked as he walked.

"Hmm."

"I guess I've suffered a lot over there, right?" She continued.

"It's fine." Jing Ge replied succinctly.

"I'm sorry."

She said seriously, very sincerely, Jing Ge could feel it.

This made Jing Ge a little strange, "Why do you want to say I'm sorry?" ”

"You shouldn't be banished, and the generalissimo shouldn't be killed, it's the fault of our Li family." "I'm sorry I couldn't stop this from happening," she said honestly. ”

"This is the first time I've heard people from the royal family admit their mistakes, and the others seem to have a bit of a root-cutting mentality. And I don't think there's anything wrong with it. Jing Ge said what he thought in his heart.

Li Man was stunned for a moment, and had to admit that this was the truth, she knew the temperament of her brothers.

"Father, he did something wrong." Li Man said softly.

"Even if it's wrong, it's a foregone conclusion." After Jing Ge finished speaking, he turned around and walked in the direction of the Hundred Flowers Palace, this words touched the sadness in his heart, and he didn't want to stay for a long time. Now he was sure that the deceased generalissimo was his own father.

"Jingge." She shouted.

Jing Ge paused slightly.

"As long as I'm alive, I won't let them harm you."

Jing Ge never looked back, took a step and left, the corners of his mouth slightly curved an arc. Leaving a fluttering sentence, "If that's the case, it's fine, in case you are really killed, there is also a beautiful woman on Huangquan Road to accompany you." ”

He will no longer pin his life on others, a powerless princess, even if she has the heart, she is powerless.

When Jing Ge returned to the Hundred Flowers Palace, Wei Zifu and Shangguan Junyue were at the lakeside railing in front of the hall.

"I slaughtered so many officials so ruthlessly, and I am not afraid that the soldiers of the world will be cold, and I dare not come to the imperial capital to be an official." Wei Zifu twisted the food in his hand and threw it into the lake to feed the fish.

A large part of the officials who were killed were raised by the Wei family with great effort, which is a great loss. She was also blamed by her family for this, and her already bad situation was even more worrying, which made her a little annoyed.

Shangguan Junyue didn't answer, just looked at the fire tray with lighting on the side. Wei Zifu followed her gaze.

A moth fluttered into the flames and turned to ashes.

A moment later, another moth flew over and plunged into the fire.

Without words, Wei Zifu understood what she meant. This fame and officialdom is like this flame. No matter how much it is burned, no matter how bloody, no matter how cruel, there will still be a steady stream of moths that willingly pounce on them.

Jing Ge stepped into the hall and found that Yu Jue's girl was actually glued to the little princess Li Yao, talking and laughing, and they were very affectionate at first sight.

When Li Yao saw Jing Ge, she glared at him angrily, obviously still holding a grudge against what happened back then, Jing Ge naturally wouldn't approach her to be bored.

Whatever the reason, hitting a girl is never a glorious thing. According to Yue'er, it was at the time of her father's death that she made insulting remarks, and she was so angry that she couldn't bear it anymore and moved impulsively.

Yu Jue was whispering in Li Yao's ear, Jing Ge repeatedly signaled that it was time to go, and she reluctantly walked back.

"I'll play with you again tomorrow." Yu Jue said goodbye.

"Okay, but you have to come." Li Yao said.

The three of them and Wei Zijie got together, talked and laughed for a while, and they were almost at the end, and they went home.

"The heroine is so good at playing with the notoriously rude little princess." Jing Ge sat in the carriage, laughing and teasing.

"Hey, it's not simple, as the saying goes, the enemy of the enemy is the friend. She doesn't like you, and I pretend not to like you, and if I say bad things about you in front of her, I'll be friends with her. Not to be outdone, Yu Jue replied quite proudly.

"Then what are your intentions in being good friends with her?" Jing Ge asked.

"That's the princess of Daqin, how long it will be to say it. I've always liked to make friends. You can let her take me into Weiyang Palace to play, maybe she can take care of me in the future. Just like you, eat and live. As she spoke, Yu Jue became happier and happier, babbling and humming in a strange tune that the cute dead don't pay for her life, "I have a friend who is the Feiyang Hou of Daqin, and a friend who is the little princess of Daqin..."

Jing Ge and Qian Xue were so amused by her that they couldn't help but laugh.
