The sun is setting, the dining room is already lit by candles, the three dining tables are each based on one side, Zhu Qiming, Yanluo, and Pang Zhe sit separately, there is no grandmother or maid in the room, only three faces with different expressions are reflected in the candle flame, silently facing each other, occasionally glancing at each other's faces, and their eyes reveal a little hesitation and deep meaning.

Yanluo left the table and came to Zhu Qiming's seat, gave a gift, and immediately invited him, "When he was rescued by His Royal Highness, the slave and maid were able to save a life, and this kindness will not be repaid for the rest of his life." Now we meet in the mountains and wilderness, this is the luck of three lives, and the slaves and maids drank all this wine to express their respect. ”

Holding the knight in both hands, the big sleeves slowly closed, like a strange curtain, covering the peerless elegance, leaving only a towering cloud sideburns in Zhu Qiming's eyes.

He stood up, wanting to have a taste, but suddenly saw Pang Zhe staring at this side, and his level of attention seemed to be far from the leisure and elegance of a banquet. So, he raised his sleeve to cover his mouth and drank it all.

The big sleeves slowly opened, revealing the pretty face of Yanluo. She was blessed and slowly returned to her seat.

Zhu Qiming took a seat. Outside the window, the afterglow of the setting sun was reflected, and above the endless mountains and fields, the twilight rose with the mist, about to swallow the phantom purple and gold on the horizon.

"Your Highness." Pang Zhe left the table and walked towards this side.

"Mr. Pang stays." Zhu Qiming hurriedly got up and persuaded Pang Zhe to sit down.

Pang Zhe turned his back to the west window, and the misty twilight outside the window revealed the distant shadow of the meandering stream. "It was in Zhuolu Mountain that Pang first met His Royal Highness, when His Royal Highness was ten years old, and his conversation was very good, which was amazing. Nearly ten years have passed, His Royal Highness has been forbidden, galloping across the field, dominating the temple, and for several years, he has been far above the conversation of the year, Pang usually has a very high vision, but His Royal Highness's wisdom and courage are beyond Pang's reach? His Royal Highness's speech and demeanor seem absurd, but in fact there are pearls everywhere, today Pang Mou borrowed flowers to offer Buddha, drank this wine, to show respect! ”

"Mr. Pang praises falsely, Xiao Wang is ashamed!" Zhu Qiming hurriedly raised his knighthood and drank with Pang Zhe.

The atmosphere in the dining room became relaxed, and the three of them sat down, the smoke and the pines high-fived, and a group of dancers entered and danced to the sound of soothing music.

The three of them frequently invited each other with wine, and before they knew it, the night sky outside the window was full of stars, and Zhu Qiming was slightly drunk.

Yan Luo high-fived, the music paused, and the dancing girl bowed and retreated.

Pang Zhe's expression suddenly changed, and he couldn't stop shaking his head and sighing, "His Royal Highness is full of blood and is full of warp and weft, and he can be called the pillar of the country, but it's a pity that he was born at the wrong time!" I think that when His Royal Highness was in Zhuolu Mountain, the thieves were very rampant, and the court knew that His Royal Highness was in danger, and King Yuejing was banned during his lifetime, and Yuefu should not call the sky, but the monarchs and ministers had no intention of rescuing! If it weren't for the fact that the Imperial Court had to send a personal guard to suppress the thieves, how could His Highness easily escape? Alas, the past is embarrassing! ”

A sour feeling suddenly appeared in Zhu Qiming's heart, and he couldn't understand why Pang Zhe was so ruthless, not to reveal the old secrets and discernment, but to say it piecemeal, like a knife cutting out his heart.

But seeing that he suddenly raised his lips, a rare grunt swept all the elegance, and the two words of the Son of Heaven and Wang Zhen echoed in his ears, but now it sounds as harsh as a lie!

Pang Zhe drank a jue of wine, "Between royal brothers, uncles and nephews, most of them were enemies in their previous lives, and it is not easy to get together again like a stranger, what more can Your Highness ask for!" ”

Oh! Zhu Qiming did his best again, and the roar was held in his throat, and he was about to blurt out.

"Today is just for a banquet, please Mr. Pang not to mention the past." Yan Luo smiled, and there was a flush on his face after drinking, like a faint blush, "Although Mr. Pang's words have some truth, they are not necessarily so. The slave knew that King Yu and His Highness were mostly close friends in their previous lives, and King Yu had no defense against His Highness in his heart. ”

Like a drop of ice falling into his heart, Zhu Qiming suddenly woke up, and his drunkenness faded a few points. "Affection in the world is priceless, but affection can't save the community! From the moment this king stepped into this place, how could he still have half a point of defense against the king of servants? This is not out of love, but for the sake of society! ”

"It's also strange that I can't control it after drinking, and I lose His Highness's wine, and I will punish myself with a glass of wine!" Pang Zhe drank a jue of wine by himself, and then bowed his hand to Zhu Qiming.

Zhu Qiming looked at Pang Zhe for a long time and smiled indifferently, "Xiao Wang understands that this good show of the secret meeting between the two kings must be from Mr. Pang's hand. Xiao Wang is bent on getting rid of the accumulated evils, and this matter is well known to all officials; And although the king of the servants is not visible, but others are still worried that he will one day interrupt their good dreams, a king of the servants, a king of Yue, the two kings can not be reassured, the princes of Gon just want to rely on the emperor's tolerance, continue to live their good life, but now the smoke is everywhere, when the last resort, the emperor is afraid that he will also take risks, just imagine, once the Son of Heaven is personally conscripted, who should be in charge of the country? King Servant? This will make it difficult for many people to sleep, so they have to find someone who can also help them live a good life, and that person is ······ King Xiang! put so many beautiful words on King Xiang, and the internal and external officials rushed to open their eyes and say nonsense, how could there be any shame! However, no matter how thick-skinned they are, they can't resist the depth of Mr. Pang's scheming! ”

Pang Zhe raised his neck, looking pleased, "It's not that I'm scheming, it's been more than ten years, from the 'Sanyang' of the year to today's Jiuqing, in the face of Wara's pressing step by step, has there ever been a person who has been the main battle?" They all want to buy their heads in the sand, pretending not to see, thinking that in this way they can continue to live a good life, but today, whether to fight or not to fight is not up to the Ming Dynasty, even if they seek peace in every possible way, it is useless. Hmph, it's the so-called profit that makes you faint! ”

Yanluo blinked her eyes, as if she was thoughtful, "King Yu came to Zhuolu Mountain to meet His Royal Highness King Yue, and his whereabouts must be difficult to hide from the eyes and ears of Dongchang and Jinyiwei. ”

Pang Zhe shook his head calmly, "I'm afraid that the internal and external officials have done their homework, fanning the flames in the emperor's ears, and have already recited the fact that the two kings are about to meet secretly countless times, the emperor is curious, the so-called catching thieves and catching stolen goods, he will send Jinyi Wei to Zhuolu Mountain to find out, and when the emperor gets the Jinyi Guard's return and rumors that the King of Yu entered the palace to confirm it, he found that the King of Yu was in the palace and did not leave the capital!" Madame, how would the emperor feel at that time? ”

"The emperor must be very annoyed by the nonsense of internal and external officials!" Zhu Qiming played with the wine lord, his eyes were a little confused, "From now on, the emperor will be convinced of the king of the servant, if anyone runs to the front of the palace to say that the king is not, he has to weigh whether he can withstand the thunderous wrath of the Son of Heaven!" ”

"I know it's a pit, but I jump in, and I can block the mouth of Youyou with one move, wonderful!" Yanluo was puzzled, with a smiling face, he invited Zhu Qiming and Pang Zhe to drink.

Zhu Qiming felt that his head was getting heavier and heavier, his vision was already blurred, and before he was drunk, he instinctively told him to get up and resign quickly.

"Come on, send His Royal Highness King Yue back to Hangweiju!" Yanluo called.

Zhu Qiming waved his hand, walked out of the dining room alone, and returned to Hangweiju along the path while still a little sober.

The two grandmothers hurriedly stepped forward, Zhu Qiming broke free from their support, and walked towards the inner room alone, and saw in a daze that there were two more figures in the main hall, which should be Miss Mei's master and servant.

"Hey, hey, hey······"

He smirked a few times, went into the inner chamber and fell asleep. There was a question and answer between Shuang'er and Mama Xu from the main hall.

"Childe's surname?"

"I don't know."

"Childe Guigeng?"

"I don't know."

"Mama is really! I don't know that, I don't know, how to get close to the son? ”

"You girl, it's not important to talk to the elderly!"

After a while, Miss Mei's voice came: "Mama, you have to hurry up and make him a bowl of sobering soup."
