The one hundred and sixty-second feast at the palace
"Lord! Are you mistaken? Y-How can you do such a thing......"
Seeing that Wan'er, who had always been gentle, had such a big reaction, Lu Ren hurriedly reached out to cover Wan'er's mouth, and then whispered in Wan'er's ear: "You don't know what she was crazy like at that time, I was also confused by her." ”
Wan'er removed Lu Ren's hand and asked suspiciously, "Then, did you take Sister Cai ......?"
Lu Ren hurriedly said: "No! Not at all!! I almost gave her that, but after stripping her naked, I accidentally remembered you, so I didn't do anything to her. ”
Wan'er was dumbfounded: "Why, why did it get to Wan'er's body again?" ”
Lu Ren swept Wan'er up and down, and said with a wry smile: "Because she is as thin as you, I remembered you as soon as I saw that thin body." ”
Wan'er subconsciously looked around, and there was a little imperceptible regret in her eyes. When he looked up at Lu Ren again, he asked uncertainly, "Lord, you really didn't ...... Sister Cai?"
Lu Ren shook his head desperately. Somehow, Lu Ren's heart swelled up with a sense of mentality in modern society when a boy desperately explained to his girlfriend that he hadn't cheated on him.
Wan'er looked at Lu Ren carefully and felt that Lu Ren was not lying, so she sighed lightly and said, "Fortunately, no, otherwise the consequences would be unpredictable." However, the Lord has done such an excessive thing, no wonder Sister Cai is hateful. Lord, I'm afraid this has become very difficult to do. ”
Lu Ren also sighed: "Of course I know it's difficult, but she was always restless some time ago, so I had to take care of her as much as possible." Now Wan'er, it's okay for you to come, talk and chat with her more these days, and it's better for girls to talk and talk to each other than for me to stare at her. In a few days, Cao Gong will return to Xudu, and I will entrust her to Cao Gong to take care of. It's so embarrassing between me and her now, so don't see each other again in the future, it's better for everyone to see each other out of sight. As for that incident......"
Saying that, he sighed again: "I have never spoken between me and her, even Zixiu just thought that I had beaten her up at that time." Now Wan'er you know, but don't say it, I just let you have a bottom in your heart, and you can keep some snacks when you talk to her. ”
Wan'er stepped on Lu Ren again, and said with a slight annoyance: "How can Wan'er be such a person who doesn't know the importance of things? It's just that Lord, you really gave Wan'er a big problem! ”
Lu Ren reached out and took Wan'er into his arms again, and said with a smile: "Wan'er is tired!" It's just that now, only you can help me ease this awkward relationship with Akihime! ”
Wan'er snuggled in Lu Ren's arms, and after hesitating for a long time, she said softly: "Why is the Lord always unwilling to 'eat' Wan'er?" When he was angry, the Lord almost 'ate' Sister Cai, but why did he give up after thinking of Wan'er? As the saying goes, 'Lonely yin does not grow, and only yang does not give birth', the Lord is about to be twenty-six years old, and if he wants to be replaced by others, he would have ...... a long time ago."
Lu Ren was dumbfounded, and bent his fingers tapped lightly on Wan'er's forehead and said, "What are you thinking about this girl?" ”
Wan'er also stretched out her hand to wrap her arms around Lu Ren's waist, and her voice was like a fine mosquito: "In two months, Wan'er will also be eighteen...... If the Lord has a need, can he just come to Wan'er? ”
“…… Don't tease me, you girl! I've really had a hard time putting up with it! ”
————————————————————
A few days later, Cao Cao led his army back to Xuchang, and after meeting Emperor Xian of Han, Cao Cao was able to live in his own garden. But it was still a little early to send Cai Yan over at this time, Cao Cao didn't dare to send someone to pick him up, and Lu Ren didn't dare to send it to Cao Cao right away...... Of course, it's also a little reluctant.
Ignore other things for the time being, just say that Lu Ren was busy working here in the city gate tower that day, and suddenly someone from the palace came to Lu Ren, and passed on to Lu Ren and said that he wanted Lu Ren to go to the palace for a banquet that night. This banquet refers to the large-scale palace banquet of Emperor Han Xian in the official relocation to the new palace, which should have been held a long time ago, but because Cao Cao was out of the army, Emperor Han Xian waited until Cao Cao's "thick thigh" came back before announcing the convening. And Lu Ren, as Xu Duling, although he is still only "trying to defend", he is also qualified and necessary to go to the banquet.
However, as soon as Lu Ren heard that he was going to the palace for a banquet, he had a headache. Not to mention anything else, Lu Renke doesn't understand the etiquette and etiquette in the palace at all, but he cares about these things very much in the palace. Lu Ren had been too busy with work before, and he hadn't entered the palace once, but now he couldn't hide. In desperation, he hurriedly ran to find Xun Yu, Xun Yu smiled and said with a smile that let Lu Ren follow him, see what Xun Yu does, learn and sell now, a little inadequate, Xun Yu can also help Lu Ren block it.
Without further ado, I just said that after nightfall, a large number of people entered the palace, and Lu Ren followed Xun Yu's side cautiously, not daring to leave at all. At this time, Xun Yu was already a servant of the Han court and a scholar of the book, and he was no longer Cao Cao's staff in terms of identity, but Cao Cao's collaborator in terms of nature, and his standing rank was actually relatively high. It is said that Lu Ren's current official position is not qualified to follow behind Xun Yu at all, but under Xun Yu's careful care, he can barely be justified.
And Lu Ren at this moment...... To be honest, there is really a bit of "Grandma Liu entered the Grand View Garden". Although Lu Ren has a share in the construction of the palace, Lu Ren is only responsible for providing brick building materials, and Lu Ren can't get involved in the real specific aspects, plus he is running around all day and night, Lu Ren really hasn't dealt with any Han court officials. Now in front of these officials who are all serious, it is not too much to say that Lu Ren is a dirt bun.
Fortunately, this is just a relatively relaxed feast, not a formal court. After the first few rituals passed, the hall was filled with the sound of wine and music. And in order to avoid getting into some unnecessary trouble, Lu Ren has always been drinking and eating food during the banquet with his head down, and occasionally he will raise a glass with everyone and respect each other.
But by this time, Lu Ren had finally met the "legendary" Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty. Of course, the title "Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty" was given by Liu Xie after his death by the Wei State, and now it is generally only called "Emperor", "Son of Heaven" or "Shengshang" or something like that. And although Lu Ren had been prepared in his heart, when he really saw Liu Xie, who was still a teenager, Lu Ren's heart was filled with a strange feeling that was difficult to describe.
It is now the first year of Jian'an, and Emperor Liu Xie of the Han Dynasty is only sixteen years old, and it will be two months before he is seventeen years old in the second year of Jian'an. At this age, if you put it in modern society, you are still just a high school student, but although Lu Ren sits far away, he can still see a little bit of perseverance and heaviness on Liu Xie's face that is still a little immature.
If you think about it, it's no wonder. Liu Xie was appointed as the new emperor by Dong Zhuo when he was nine years old, and the hardships he experienced in the past few years are actually difficult for others to understand. And if the young genius who grew up in such a difficult environment, if he didn't have a fairly mature state of mind and extraordinary intelligence, how could he seize the opportunity to escape from the demon cave in the end?
Most people think that Emperor Han Xian is incompetent, but later many scholars have pointed out that Emperor Han Xian is actually quite a smart person, but it is a pity that Emperor Liu Xie of Han Xian encountered a situation that has been completely exhausted, and there is no chance for Liu Xie. If there is really any chance to be grasped by Liu Xie, then Liu Xie may become the second Liu Xiu.
Lu Ren didn't pay much attention to Emperor Liu Xie of the Han Dynasty in the early days, but later he slowly changed his opinion of Liu Xie and became a supporter of Liu Xie, who was actually a smart person. Now that I have seen this young man with my own eyes, I am nodding secretly in my heart, but I also feel a little more pity for Liu Xie. However, these things have little to do with Lu Ren, anyway, Lu Ren will flash back in a few years, so he doesn't have any other ideas, just drink and eat food with his head stuffy during the banquet.
But just because he doesn't care about others doesn't mean that others won't care about him. He was eating and drinking here, but Liu Xie, the Emperor of the Han Dynasty, suddenly asked Cao Cao, who was sitting next to him: "Cao Aiqing, I heard that this palace can be built so quickly, and the masonry method used by Lu Ren to try to defend Xu Du is indispensable. Seeing this palace room today, I am very happy in my heart, but I don't know if Lu Qing has ever been there? ”
Cao Cao smiled and asked Lu Ren in the crowd. Lu Ren was completely unprepared, he panicked when he was called, and then he wanted to ask Xun Yu what he should do now, but it was a little too late, so he could only leave his seat cautiously and bow down to Emperor Liu Xie of the Han Dynasty from afar. But the more cautious he was, the easier it was to make mistakes, and Lu Ren didn't notice that his foot stepped on the corner of his clothes when he bowed...... You have to wear a court dress on such an occasion, and the wide sleeves of the court dress are swinging, and Lu Ren, who has always been easy to wear for the convenience of doing things, suddenly found it difficult to adapt to it.
What happens if you step on the corner of your clothes when you bow down? But when he heard a muffled sound of "plopping", Lu Ren fell to the ground, which naturally caused the laughter of the whole hall, and Xun Yu covered his forehead with his hand, but there was nothing he could do.
Such a rude thing, naturally some people shouted and scolded, Lu Ren secretly scolded himself in his heart for being too careless, but now he can only quickly get up and kneel down again to salute. When Cao Cao saw this situation, he inevitably wanted to say a few good words for Lu Ren, but Emperor Han Xian just smiled and said: "Lu Qing is drunk, and it is not surprising that he has made a slight mistake." The Qing family should not blame Lu Qing too much. ”
The emperor spoke, who can not give this face? Lu Ren also breathed a sigh of relief when he arrived at this time. There was such a big embarrassment in front of people, and Lu Ren said very unpleasantly in his heart.
I thought that Emperor Han Xian would call himself out, that is, just praise him with a few beautiful words, but unexpectedly, after a few words of praise, Emperor Han Xian suddenly said to Lu Ren: "On the way, I have also heard some anecdotes about Lu Qing, it is said that Lu Qing served on the side of Bo Ji when he was young, so he studied music and rhythm. Today's feast, can Lu Qing play a few songs to help the fun? ”
