Chapter 472: Going to the Banquet
Four days later, the door of the Wang family, one of the five wealthy families in Chang'an, Xingningfang, was opened, welcoming the guests of the Quartet, and countless dignitaries and dignitaries in Chang'an City flocked to it, not for anything else, because today is the birthday of Yunxiu, the queen of the Wang family, over the years, although Wang Zhongsi gradually faded out of the government and the opposition because of physical reasons, and cultivated at home, but as the envoy of the four towns and festivals who once ruled the northwest of the Tang Dynasty, the Wang family's connections and heritage in the army are an innumerable wealth.
Today, the four towns in the northwest have gone up to the Jiedu down to the partial generals and captains, many people have been protΓ©gΓ©s of the Wang family, the five wealthy families of Chang'an, if you want to compare the background and connections in the army, whether it is the Yang family who favors the world, or the Li family who is now powerful, it is not comparable to it, as for the remaining Cui and Wei Ershi, it is not comparable to it, it is precisely because of the stakes that the princes and grandsons in Chang'an City, and the children of the powerful are all looking forward to being able to get the favor of the only daughter of the Wang family. However, although the only daughter of the Wang family is a woman, no matter her vision or means, even some old men in the officialdom who have been immersed in officialdom for decades in the court cannot compare.
As a middle-aged porter dressed in brocade shouted: "His Royal Highness King Shou, the Governor of Yizhou, arrived in Jiannan Jiedu, and a tall "man" in a strong suit walked out of the hall, looking at Li Qing, who was a little less gentle and a little more sassy than last time, Li Qing, who was still wearing a Xuanyi royal suit, shook his head, worthy of being the only daughter of the Wang family, and his actions really can't be inferred with common sense, Tang Dynasty women are less bound by Cheng Zhu Lixue in later generations, and it is normal for them to show their heads outside, often wearing men's clothes, just for the convenience of travel, Now Li Qingzhi didn't expect that in his own home, the protagonist of today's banquet would be dressed like this.
In fact, when Li Qing looked at Wang Yunxiu, Wang Yunxiu didn't look at Li Qing in front of him, looking at the Xuanyi Shou King in front of him dressed in the same Xuanyi King clothes, with a unicorn jade belt around his waist, a foot stool with white bottom king boots, a jade crown and hair, his face was as elegant as a clear spring in the mountains, and his temples were as white as frost and snow, which made the man in front of him a little more mature and stable.
Feng eyes swept away, and saw that Li Qing was not with the princess Shou who was captivating the country and the city, and followed closely behind the two people, one was white as white as frost and snow, and the other was green and simple, simple and ordinary, Wang Yunxiu nodded with satisfaction, and did not look at Li Qingfu like an ordinary boudoir woman, bowed slightly, clasped her fists with both hands and said: "See His Royal Highness King Shou." "See it at any time, but there is indeed neither humility nor arrogance between words, and there is a sense of arrogance.
Li Qing didn't care, nodded, and replied sincerely: "Gongzi Xiu is okay, General Wang is okay?" β
"My father is well, thank you for your concern." After the politeness, under the leadership of Wang Yunxiu, Li Qing and his entourage came to the front hall, but found that it was already full of friends at this moment, among which there were many acquaintances, and several festivals who attended the night banquet in the palace a few days ago were all absent, of course, there were many fresh faces, looking at the killing spirit of their bodies, I am afraid that most of them are border generals who have been on the battlefield for a long time, and there are more than 100 seats in the hall, except for a few in the first place, it can be said that they are full.
Seeing the arrival of Li Qing, who was dressed in a royal robe, many people on the field got up and arched their hands: "Meet His Royal Highness King Shou!" The few remaining people who did not get up, their status was roughly the same as Li Qing, but even if they didn't get up, they also nodded their heads, facing everyone's salute, Li Qing did not hold it up, and immediately returned the salute one by one, under the leadership of Wang Yunxiu, walked to the first few seats, and replied respectfully: "You do this big gift, Li Qingwan dare not take it." β
Seeing that Li Qing was so polite, King Yan, who was sitting under Li Qing and had a gap between King Di, winked at Li Qing, and said with a smile: "Eighteenth brother, don't be so modest, these years, if there is no eighteenth brother and the generals of Longyoushuo to fight against Tibet, how can we talk and laugh here with peace of mind, I am afraid that we will be called into the palace by my father and said that we don't know how to scold a dog for the country." β
Seeing this scene, Li Qing nodded, King Yan in front of him was sprinkled by nature, not formal etiquette, no matter where he went, he could be like a fish in water and make friends, this heart and temper were ashamed even if he was himself.
It's just that the four households of King Yan didn't intend for the matter to end like this, and glanced at King Si Ning, who was sitting below him since Wang Yunxiu and King Shou appeared side by side in the hall, his face became more and more gloomy, and he smiled indifferently: "Speaking of which, this king has to admire the eighteenth brother, everyone in Chang'an City says that although the son of Xiu is a woman, he is a heroine among women, and his vision is incomparable to that of ordinary men. I wonder when your friendship has come to this point? β
Seeing that with King Yan's words, except for some old and serious people in the hall, most of the rest of the people looked at him with curiosity, Li Qing was not at all embarrassed, and glanced at the Xiu Gongzi who was sitting next to King Yan and only stared at him with his eyes, his face was gloomy and terrible, as long as he was not a fool, he could see what kind of thoughts this King Ning had for the Xiu Gongzi next to him.
"I'm afraid that King Yan's words just now are angry, this King Ning who once gained power and didn't take his elders seriously."
Li Qing, who originally wanted to veto, moved in his heart, and looked at Wang Yunxiu, who was sitting next to him at the top of the left without any explanation, Li Qing said slowly: "It's nothing, it's really because four years ago I hunted in the suburbs of Beijing, I heard that my father was assassinated, and this king was in a hurry, and I happened to meet Xiu Gongzi hunting alone, so I borrowed Xiu Gongzi's mount and went to rescue the driver. β
For King Shou's words, everyone was skeptical, deep in the jungle, lonely men and widows coexisted in one place, all of them were dragons and phoenixes among people, if nothing happened, everyone didn't believe it, and looked at the beginning to the end without a word to explain, a pair of phoenix mothers rarely appeared a little gentle just staring at the only daughter of the Wang family of His Royal Highness King Shou next to her, everyone in the hall is all old and mature, nodded on the surface and said: "I see." But he smiled secretly in his heart: "It's strange to believe in you." β
I have to say that Li Qing originally just wanted to follow the steps of King Yan to anger King Ning, if he knew that because of his such frank words, it made everyone in the hall think too much, I don't know if he will regret it, Li Qing doesn't want today's matter to be reported back to King Shou's mansion, causing the beauty to worry in vain.
