King Qi suddenly stopped whispering to the queen. He said: "When I drink, as long as the queen is present, she pours me the wine herself, and she does not have to bother others." ”

Queen Zhong Lichun nodded again and again, grinned thickly, made a smile, took the purple gold pot on her case, and filled the wine glass for King Qi.

Tian Ming knelt there and was not embarrassed, not knowing what to do. He turned his head to look at his father Tian Tong and asked his father's opinion with his eyes.

That Tian Tong has a strong adaptability, he first coughed dryly, and then said for Tian Ming: "Ming'er, since the king has his own rules for drinking, let's follow the rules of the king." ”

Tian Tong pouted at Su Qin, and asked Tian Ming to pour wine for Su Qin and the others instead. Su Qin carefully observed everything in front of him, and at first he really thought it was King Qi's special hobby.

When he saw that King Qi even had to pour the wine from his wife, he began to think that something was wrong, and he suddenly remembered that when he went to see King Qi early in the morning, King Qi asked him to "follow" his behavior. Is this sentence really meaningful?

Su Qin was so smart, he immediately thought: "King Qi asked me to follow his behavior, why should I make my own decisions!" ”

He immediately changed his face to a modest and respectful look, took the pot from his case, and stood up. said in his mouth: "Tian Ming is also the doctor of Qi State, how dare I ask him to pour the wine himself, I will come by myself." ”

As he spoke, he picked up the flasks on a few cases, hurried over to the bronze statue, and filled his jugs with wine. He was still not worried about Zhang Yi and Zhou Shao, so he carried the pot to pour wine for them.

Su Qinnai is the prime minister of Zhao State, under one person, above ten thousand, and his status is noble. Zhang Yi and Zhou Shao were embarrassed to let Su Qin pour wine for themselves. When they saw Su Qin coming over, they didn't wait for Su Qin to get close to their seats, they all stood up, picked up the wine jugs on a few cases, and went straight to Tongzun to drink.

The maids and servants of Tianfu were shocked when they saw the behavior of King Congqi, Tian Tong, Su Qin, Zhang Yi and others. They all looked at Tian Tong very nervously, and they all had the heart to go to the service of pouring wine for the distinguished guests, but tonight's guests' movements were sharp enough, and they didn't have time to intervene.

However, these servants fell to ease, and saved a lot of effort.

Just when Su Qin and the others were busy making and pouring wine for themselves, there was a particularly noisy sound outside the door, and Su Qin had not yet sat in his seat, but his eyes couldn't help but be attracted by the sound coming from outside the door, so much so that he forgot to sit down.

King Qi was also alarmed and raised his head, and both he and the queen looked at the door with grim expressions.

At this time, only Tian Tong was calm and calm, and he got up and went out to find out.

Soon, Tian Tong returned, but not alone, behind him, followed by the other two, one tall and one short.

Su Qin fixed his eyes and saw that the tall man turned out to be an acquaintance, it was Chen Zhen, a lobbyist of the Chu State, and the short man was also an acquaintance, that is, Zou Yan, who had been working against him at the heaven and earth banquet, so that wood, fire, earth, metal, and water "Five Virtues and Zhou Beginning Theory", false remarks, and terrifying tone.

After Zou Yan and Chen Zhi entered the hall, they first paid tribute to King Qi. Zou Yan himself was deeply favored by the King of Qi, and he always looked arrogant, so he did not bow down, but stood there and bowed slightly to the King of Qi.

When King Qi saw Zou Yan and Chen Zhen, he was surprised at first, and then laughed again. said: "It turns out that among today's guests, there are two of you, very good, very good!" ”

King Qi originally liked to be lively, and Zou Yangao's arguments were what he liked to hear, so although Tian didn't talk to him before, he didn't care, but showed a welcoming attitude.

Su Qin thought to himself: "It turns out that Tian Tong is a mysterious person and the mysterious guests he hides from himself are Zou Yan and Chen Zhen. Although they are their own rivals, they are not mortal rivals. ”

At this time, his mentality was much more steady, with the skills and eloquence of the two of them, it was just to disrupt Yaxing who participated in the banquet, but it was not related to safety.

Of course, Zou Yan also noticed that King Qi's expression changed from surprise to joy, and he replied in a dissatisfied tone: "When the minister came in, the butler of the Tianfu should have led the way, and he should have followed the customs, but the king's guards blocked it all the way, so it was boring. ”

These words sound harsh, how dare ordinary people speak like this to the king, but this Zou Yan has found out the temper of the king of Qi, although he is open-mouthed, the king of Qi listens to coke instead.

Sure enough, Qi Wangtian Bijiang not only didn't get angry with Zou Yan, but actually laughed at himself: "As soon as the widow is dispatched, there is always someone in charge, not free, how can you be like Dr. Zou, casual and casual, as comfortable as idle clouds and wild cranes." ”

Zou Yan listened to King Qi's self-deprecation and became even more proud. He glanced at Su Qin, but he didn't even say hello. Su Qin's eyes stared at him, waiting for Zou Yan to salute first. I thought to myself: "After all, I am the prime minister of a country, so why should I submit to you." ”

Later, Su Qin didn't see Zou Yan saluting him until he sat down, he simply looked away and ignored Zou Yan.

And Zou Yan was arranged by Tian Tong, just sitting next to Su Qin, facing north and south, next to Su Qin, Su Qin really felt a thorn in his back for a while, very uncomfortable.

Fortunately, I have cultivated tenacity over the years, and I can still press unpleasant thoughts on my heart and still do what I need to do.

Qi Wangtian Pijiang originally understood the dispute between Su Qin and Zou Yan at the heaven and earth banquet next to Zishui, and today he saw that the two of them did not care about each other.

He was so lively, in order to avoid being cold, he hurriedly stepped forward and exchanged a few irrelevant greetings with Chen Zhi, probably asking about Chen Zhi's itinerary these days, and so on.

Tian Tong, as the master, should maintain the scene, and after he returned to his seat, he immediately invited everyone to introduce each other. Zhang Yi and Zhou Shao, Zou Yan and Chen Zhi were mostly meeting each other for the first time, and they couldn't help but nod their heads to each other and take a closer look at each other with the rhythm of Tian Tong's introduction.

Immediately afterwards, Tian Tong invited King Qi to have a banquet first, and King Qi smiled and picked up the wine glasses on several cases, suggesting that everyone have a drink together. The guests at the banquet all seconded the proposal, and they jointly said "lucky" and drank wine.

Su Qin was vigilant in his heart, so he paid special attention to some details, and he was surprised to find that when everyone was raising their glasses, Queen Zhonglichun did not raise their glasses, she took out two pairs of silver chopsticks from her cuffs, and pricked them in the various foods on several cases intentionally or unintentionally.

Su Qin realized: "The queen is testing whether the food provided by Tianfu is poisonous. Otherwise, why would she use a silver chopstick? ”

He could already conclude by this time that today's banquet was really not a good feast. Although the king of Naqi was vague about himself, he knew about it in advance, and he arranged for groups of guards to guard the Tianfu, and asked the queen to pour wine and taste food, which was obviously fully prepared.
