Lu Ying drank half of the jar, became more and more excited, and told me the story of his guarding the border pass, and the girl who had been standing behind him persuaded her: "Master Hou, you can't drink anymore." ”

"I've only drunk half a jar, and I'm happy today." Lu Ying didn't look at her with her eyes, and compared with me by herself.

"My father said that you can only drink half a jar in a month, and you drank half a jar on this day, and this is okay." That girl seemed to have a very high status in Lu Ying's place, and she didn't need honorifics, and her tone seemed to be speaking to a peaceful generation.

"It's alright... That's just... Half, half..."Lu Ying's voice disappeared as he spoke, and I saw that he had fallen asleep on the table. I smiled and said, "Qiu Ming, call someone to help the Hou Ye into the house, and then make some hangover tea." ”

"Master Hou has already drunk like this, I'm afraid I will have to sleep until noon tomorrow." The girl said.

I said: "Cold spring wine is as its name suggests, it is cold, extremely cold after extremely hot, and most of the Hou Ye will wake up in the middle of the night due to the cold on his body, and he will have to drink a cup of sobering tea at that time, otherwise he will have a headache tomorrow." ”

When the girl heard me say this, she said, "Xiangye is really knowledgeable. ”

"Half a drunkard, not well-read, I don't know what to call a girl?" I said, motioning for her to sit down and speak, she looked at Lu Ying, who was already drunk, a little embarrassed, I said, "Don't worry, Master Hou, I will ask someone to cook." I asked again and again, and then she sat down and said, "My name is Huang Wantong." ”

"You're the daughter of Imperial Physician Huang?" I thought of what the third brother told me before, Lu Ying's accompanying imperial physician surnamed Huang, is a very famous imperial physician in the country, and often comes to Pizhou in Chenguo to collect medicines, and learns from the imperial doctors of our Tai Hospital here, "How can I see that you and Hou Ye are more like friends than superiors and subordinates?" ”

Huang Wantong said embarrassedly: "Hou Ye and I are childhood sweethearts, Hou Ye believes in me on weekdays, and I have to take care of him when I go out." ”

Huang Wantong's words reminded me of Sun Yuji, and said with a smile: "I also have a childhood sweetheart girl, she is now in the Tai Hospital, I am not feeling well, I am looking for her, this matter is similar to Hou Ye." ”

"That girl must be very powerful." Huang Wantong said, "Xiangye is also very powerful. ”

"Oh? Why? ”

"Today, during the day, when the Hou Ye lost his temper and couldn't live in the inn, I felt that Xiang Ye was amazing, Xiang Ye's words, obviously for the consideration of Hou Ye, were actually an insatiation that the Lu family's foundation was unstable, not as calm and deep as the Zhou family for dozens of generations, isn't it?"

Huang Wantong asked me so bluntly, I didn't expect it. Just smiled and asked her to continue.

"And when I was in the tavern, the boss was very handsome and extraordinary, but he made sarcastic remarks for Xiangye, and he also gave Xiangye a jar of good wine, do you say you are powerful?"

I told her to ask, and I didn't know what to answer, so I said, "Guo Hui Yixiao, Miss Huang." ”

Huang Wantong said: "I know, I see through a lot of things and don't say anything, I grew up with Hou Ye, I know his temperament too well, he is really not intriguing material, I want to mention it is useless, please Xiang Ye, in the next time, take care of Hou Ye, this cold arrow towards Xia Cheng Xiang is just that." ”

I couldn't help laughing: "What, you and Prime Minister Xia are not in the same group?" ”

"It's not." Huang Wantong shook his head, "Prime Minister Xia doesn't get along well with anyone, and no one likes him." ”

I wondered in my heart, is there a discord within the country? Then why did the king send them this time? Why did Huang Wantong tell me this? Could it be that the Lu family and Prime Minister Xia Cheng are already incompatible, and they want to come to Chenguo this time and get rid of Xia Naiqing with my hand?

This thought made me chill, every family has a scripture that is difficult to read, if this is the case, this meeting is not a simple meeting, I don't know how many forces are playing, and this heavy burden is on my shoulders, it really makes me breathless...

Sure enough, Lu Ying woke up in the middle of the night, drank sobering tea before falling asleep, and there was no political activity in Japan the next day, so I waited for Lu Ying to wake up when he slept and invited him to breakfast.

Except for the third brother who has married a wife, he opened his own house, and the rest did not move out, but lived in the prime minister's house, when I went to the court, I ate one round, the second round was the sixth sister, the seventh brother, the eighth sister, these people who got up early ate, and the third round was eaten by the lady and the fifth brother who love to sleep lazy, Lu Ying got up today at the same time as the fifth brother of the lady had breakfast, but the sixth sister got up late today because she didn't sleep well last night.

At the dinner table, after introducing people one by one, everyone began to eat. I had already had breakfast, so I sat on the side and drank tea, and when I saw that the sixth sister was not energetic, I said, "Sixth sister, why didn't you sleep well yesterday?" ”

The sixth sister said listlessly: "Recently, I always feel that I can't sleep well, I always break out in a cold sweat, and I wake up in the middle of the night, and I don't know what the reason is." ”

"Gai Ming'er asked Sun Yuji to come to the house and show you." I said. The lady was displeased: "Why did you call her to come to the house again?" Wouldn't that have to be a few more days? "The fifth brother doesn't know where to go wild, so he often has bruises on his body, so by the way, I asked her to come and see." I persuaded, "Why don't you go home and stay in the next few days?" Thinking of Lu Ying's presence again, he smiled and said, "Let Master Hou see it." ”

Lu Ying shook his head and smiled: "I think it's very homely, like my family." "Since I drank yesterday, it seems that Lu Ying and I have become a lot closer, men are just strange, things that can be solved with a meal, don't say it with your mouth.

"Wantong followed her father to study medicine when she was a child, so it is better to ask her to take a look, and there is no need to go to the palace to call the imperial doctor." Lu Ying said, "Besides, Miss Yutong's disease is better to be treated early, otherwise you won't be able to sleep." ”

I said in my heart that although Lu Ying still called me Hou Ye, but to my sixth sister, she was called "Miss Yutong" like this? My three elder sisters are all good-looking, among which the eighth sister Zhou Yudai has the highest rating, but the sixth sister is gentle and kind, and she is also very popular, I am in a daze, Lu Ying has begun to care about my sixth sister, I said in my heart that Lu Ying's family background is good, but I don't have a good impression of Lu Ying now, but I can't ask him to kidnap my sister.

The evening is the palace banquet of King Ping, I have been in the palace every year since I was a child, such as the Lantern Festival, Shangsi, Dragon Boat Festival, Bon and other festivals, and I am interested in the palace banquet. Because of the openness of the people, the rules in the palace are not as strict as those of the Chen country, and in order to please the embassy of the country, the rules are relaxed.

The third brother said that he was the person in charge of this performance, and he personally went to the Midnight Tower to pick the girls, as well as a few young men carved in pink and jade, to ensure that King Ping and the Siguo delegation were satisfied.

As soon as the third brother said this, I became interested in the palace banquet, and I took my wife and Lu Ying and Huang Wantong into the palace in the evening. When I arrived in the palace, I found that He Yunsheng also brought Soft Qing, and Soft Qing came to the palace for the first time, and his eyes were full of novelty.

He Yunsheng found that there was an extra stranger beside me, so he came over to say hello: "Yu Lan..."

I was afraid that he would say something that he shouldn't say, so I interrupted him and said, "This is Lu Ying, the Marquis of Si Kingdom. Lord Lu, this is He Yunsheng, the Marquis of Chenqi of our Chen Kingdom. ”

Lu Ying stretched out his hand: "I have admired the name for a long time." ”

He Yunsheng raised his eyebrows, and also stretched out his hand, the two shook it for a while, and even I could see that the two of them were exerting force on each other, He Yunsheng had strong internal strength, I was afraid that Lu Ying would not be able to support it, but looking at Lu Ying's face, he still looked calm, and admired Lu Ying's determination.

"Lord, Mrs." Soft Qing shouted, breaking the balance of the comparison between the two, and He Yunsheng also retracted his hand and said, "Master Lu, this is the insider Soft Qing." As soon as Soft Qing heard that the other party was Master Hou, he immediately saluted. Lu Ying also nodded in return, and said with a smile: "Mrs. Hou Ye is really stunning, Hou Ye is so blessed." "Where, where, Hou Ye has a good reputation."

They pretended to come and go for several rounds, and I could afford goosebumps when I heard them, and quickly beckoned them to sit down.

After a while, the people arrived, and after the feast, a woman walked in, walking in front with a piano on her back, covering her face, revealing only a pair of bright eyes and a graceful figure. He Yunsheng leaned into my ear and said, "Who is the most prestigious musician in the history of Chenguo, do you know?" ”

"Of course I do, Shi Qing." I rolled my eyes, "Shi Qing and my grandfather are good friends, and after he dies, his peerless qin will still be in my house." ”

"Shi Qing has only accepted one apprentice in his life, you know this, right?"

"Of course I know, it seems to be from Yuzhou, called Jinyi. However, I heard that Jin Yi passed away the year before last. ”

"By the way, this girl with the piano on her back is Jinyi's only daughter, Jinse."

I was surprised: "Why did you invite Jinse here today?" ”

"Let me tell you, you can be regarded as here today, Jin Se plays the piano well, not to mention, she is a girl on the list of beauties in Baizhilu, she is really stunning!" He Yunsheng looked at the soft green again and said, "Although my soft green is also stunning, it may not be as good as her." ”

"Come on, you haven't seen anyone, how do you know how people are doing? Besides, people are still covering their faces, and listen to the piano. "I secretly went to see Madame, who was concentrating on eating melon seeds, chatting quietly with Soft Qing, not paying attention to our side, and breathed a sigh of relief.

There is a soft red in the girls behind Jin Se, and there are also listening to the rain and snow, all of them are famous characters in the midnight building, Jin Se's piano and their songs, like nature, listening to everyone here are fascinated, and their hands are beating with the tune. After the three songs, we were still unsatisfied, and then another girl came in, He Yunsheng's eyes were sharp, and said: "Master Zhao!" ”

"Isn't it just Master Zhao, I see that you are excited." Madame gave him a blank look.

"Hollyho, look at what the parents look like, and then look at what you look like; Look at the figure of others, and then look at your own figure, tsk, it's really incomparable. He Yunsheng made a grimace at Mrs., and Mrs. was about to reach out to hit him, but she was soft and green in the middle, and said with a smile: "Sister, don't worry about being like Hou Ye, my sister married Xiang Ye, and her life is glorious, and Xiang Ye spoils you again, isn't your life a thousand times better than Master Zhao?" Moreover, what is the identity of my sister and what is the identity of Master Zhao, there is no comparison. ”

Soft Qing's words reached Mrs. Lady's heart, Mrs. snorted and stopped attacking, Soft Qing turned her head to He Yunsheng and said: "It's okay to talk about it in private, it's a palace banquet today, why are you still so unruly." ”

"Yes, yes, Lord Softgreen, I was wrong." He Yunsheng took the soft green over, "I think your face, figure, and life are thousands of times better than Master Zhao, what do you say?" ”

"In public, if you are tired of being careful, I will kick you out." I laughed.

I went to look at the people at the banquet, one by one they were so fascinated by Master Zhao that they couldn't take their eyes off, even Xia Naiqing had a smile on his face, and I couldn't help but sigh that Master Zhao's dancing was indeed much better than ordinary people.

After Master Zhao finished dancing, he led a group of dancers and singers to kneel down and salute, and King Ping seemed to be very happy, and he opened his mouth to be rewarded. Xia Naiqing got up and said: "Your Majesty, Miss Zhao Shishi is really slender and smart, looking back and smiling, leaning over and dancing, like a fairy under the moon, the minister has never seen a woman with water sleeves dancing so well." ”

As soon as Xia Naiqing's words fell, He Yunsheng leaned into my ear and whispered: "It's not good, I see that this old man wants to go down to Master Zhao!" ”

I just wanted to say no, so I heard Xia Naiqing say: "The minister has the courage to ask Your Majesty to give Miss Zhao to the minister." ”

He Yunsheng immediately turned to look at me: "I'm right, right?" It's over now, if this old man takes Master Zhao away, we will lose a lot. ”

I said softly, "You can see how Master Zhao answers." ”

"How else can Master Zhao answer? If it was given by His Majesty, would she still be able to resist the decree? He Yunsheng said.

As soon as He Yunsheng's words fell, Master Zhao's crisp voice sounded: "The concubine is unwilling." ”

I immediately went to look at Xia Naiqing's face, his expression did not change, his eyes became cold, I went to see Lu Ying again, Lu Ying looked like he had nothing to do with himself, and the other envoys did not mean to come out to speak.

Master Zhao was still kneeling there, his expression was cold, and he was as proud as a peacock.

Xia Naiqing is in the phase, Master Zhao doesn't give him face so much, I'm afraid that he will have a seizure, and I was thinking about how to open my mouth to break the siege, King Ping said: "If Lone decrees to give you to Prime Minister Xia, do you still plan to resist the decree?" ”

"The concubine only knows Prime Minister Zhou, but not Prime Minister Xia." Master Zhao said coldly, "If Your Majesty insists on giving a concubine to this lord, the concubine will die here immediately." ”
