Chapter Ninety-Six

When Tang Xu entered the hall, he saw a young man standing with his back to him, and before he could ask, he had already seen who the person was, Tang Xu asked Tang Zhao to leave and closed the door, and greeted him with a smile and hugged him from behind the man.

"Who did I think it was, it turned out to be my daughter-in-law who came, did she miss me?" Tang Xu kissed Xiaocui's ear, which made her face flush.

"I went to the temple this morning and asked for a peace charm for you, you can bring it." Xiao Cui took out the peace charm, which was a finely made brocade pouch with a red silk thread tied on it.

"I'm just going to the palace for a banquet, not to go to the Longtan Tiger's Den, you don't have to worry so much." Tang Xu saw Xiao Cui's mind and was very happy that she was so nervous about herself, and dealing with the emperor was not as easy for Tang Xu as she said, and she was really a little worried that she hadn't entered the palace for so many days, but if she was really in trouble, what could a small peace charm keep?

"Sincerely respect the Buddha, and the Buddha will bless you." Xiao Cui knew that he was comforting herself, but at least she wanted peace of mind.

"Thank you." Tang Xu lowered his head and asked her to bring it to herself, kissed her on the mouth, and then saw her blushing as she wished. It's already so close and still so funny, this appearance makes Tang Xu love it very much, and when he wants to be close to Xiaocui again, he is interrupted by a knock on the door.

"Who?" Tang Xu asked impatiently, and a voice sounded outside the door, it was Tang Ru who came to serve Tang Xu to change his clothes. Tang Xu went over to open the door and saw that Tang Ru, Tang Yi and Tang Bao were all standing outside the door, each holding the clothes they had prepared for themselves in their hands. Tang Xu asked them to put their clothes on the side of the bed and go out. The three girls didn't say much. It's just that when going out, Tang Ru seemed to inadvertently take a few more looks, and Xiao Cui, who had a somewhat strange expression.

"They were given to you by the emperor?" When the three of them went out, Xiao Cui asked in a low voice. Although I have heard Tang Xu talk about it, I still feel a little pantothenic acid in my heart when I see these three lovely girls with my own eyes.

"Yes, the emperor doesn't know what to think, where do I need any servants, and now I have to say hello to them when I go in and out, it's so troublesome." Although Tang Xu's words were true, his tone was a little more flattering, for fear that Xiaocui would not be happy in her heart.

"I know you're not used to this, but now that you're an official in the court, it's true that you don't even have a servant at home, and it's not convenient for me to take care of you now." Xiaocui knew that Tang Xu wanted to make her feel relieved, but it was understandable for a man to have three wives and four concubines.

"Don't worry, I will never do anything to be sorry for you, I have already set up family rules, if they are not honest, I will drive them away." Tang Xu suddenly became nervous when he heard what she said, he Tang Xu would never do such a thing.

"What are you talking about? It sounds like the little daughter-in-law is showing her innocence, how can I be such a rude person. Xiao Cui was amused by him, but her appearance made Tang Xu very angry.

"No matter what others do, whether it's three wives and four concubines, it's okay to look for flowers and ask willows, but I'm different from those people, I love you and only love you, there is absolutely no second heart, if I do something sorry for you, I will..." Tang Xu was about to go on, but Xiao Cui covered his mouth.

"I believe you are, why swear by swearing." Xiao Cui panicked, she naturally made up her mind to stay with this man for the rest of her life, and she knew that even if Tang Xu had another woman in the future, she would be reluctant to leave him.

"You still don't believe me." Tang Xu was very frustrated, and the feeling of not being able to be trusted by his lover wholeheartedly was really bad. Xiao Cui hurriedly explained, and then felt distressed and moved to listen to this stunned man finish his oath. Only now did Tang Xu feel satisfied.

After a while, Xiaocui helped Tang Xu put on the new clothes he had sent, and then the three maids brought some food.

"I'm not hungry, and I'll be in the palace in a while." Tang Xu said to Tang Ru, who was in the lead.

"There are a lot of banquets in the palace, and the meals are just for show, how can you really eat enough, the master should put on the mat first." Tang Ru's words were not only reasonable, but also quite preachy, Tang Xu only felt that he didn't care about anything else, but Xiaocui was not very comfortable listening to it. Tang Ru also felt rude, and found an excuse to retreat quickly.

"Let's have a bite to eat." Tang Xu sat down to eat, but Xiao Cui sat sullenly and didn't move his chopsticks.

"What's wrong? Not to your liking? Tang Xu asked, he originally wanted to say that these meals were quite delicious, but he was afraid that Xiaocui would be unhappy, so he had to put chopsticks and sit with her.

"Eat quickly, the hour is coming." Xiaocui felt that she was stingy, but she was panicked. The maid just now was full of style, as if she was teaching people, and her conversation was quite like seeing the world. If she is either too upright by nature, she intends to show her thoughtfulness in front of Tang Xu. This made Xiaocui, the real lady, really unhappy.

"My daughter-in-law doesn't eat with me, I have no appetite." Tang Xu simply played tricks. Xiaocui had no choice but to coax him to eat with him, pretending to make fun of him like a child, but his heart was sweet. When the two of them are full of food and drink, it is time to go out. At this time, Tang Jin had already set up the carriage and waited at the door, Tang Xu asked Xiaocui to wait for him at home before getting into the car, and waited for her to nod and agree to a master and a servant before hurrying to the palace.

The way into the palace was very familiar to Tang Xu, and it was not the first time to eat with the emperor, but in addition to the banquet of the ministers who defeated the Khitan army, this was the second time that Tang Xu sat down with hundreds of civil and military officials to eat. Although it has not been long ago, Tang Xu has changed from an unknown ordinary person to a celebrity in front of the emperor and empress today, and the number of seats on the table is not comparable to the past. This will naturally make some people's eyes red, and the most unbearable thing is Du Chongwei, who has just come back from outside to Kaifeng, but he knows that he is not treated by the emperor, and it is not good to have attacks at will, but every time the emperor gives Tang Xu wine, Du Chongwei's eyes are eager to turn into a knife into Tang Xu's vest.

The emperor set up a banquet, although nominally to celebrate the New Year with the hundred officials, but no one here is really just for a meal, competing for favor is not only a trick of women, but on this occasion, the officials are also trying their best to count the favor of the emperor. When the ministers congratulated him after the song and dance, Tang Xu suddenly realized that he had made a big mistake and did not bring a congratulatory gift.

How is this good, Tang Xu was really panicked, watching the civilian, official and military generals offering the treasures they had prepared one after another, and seeing the emperor smiling with crooked eyebrows, he became more and more like a pins and needles.
