Chapter 7: Banquet Competition
"Second brother, you misunderstood." Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoJust when Zhao Yan was about to walk in, I don't know when a carriage came in front of the door, and it looked like it had been parked there for a long time.
Zhao Yu stopped, turned around and saw Zhao Yu walking down from the carriage, showing a puzzled expression: "Misunderstanding?"
"Lone went out of the city yesterday and made a messenger for Sister Yan'er. When I saw the fourth brother, when we were chatting, I invited him and his brother to a banquet by the way. It's just that there are too many things in the palace today, so I came a little late, which made you have a misunderstanding." Zhao Yu explained to Zhao Yu, and when he said the words Sister Yan'er, his tone was slightly heavier.
Zhao Yu deliberately showed a surprised expression, looking at Zhao Yu who was getting closer and closer: "Sister Yan'er? He seemed to remember that his father had two months to go, and he was going to return to Handan from the land of the alliance. Now calculate, if Sister Yan'er and they can walk faster, maybe they can meet the frame of their father and King Yan."
"I should be able to meet him, and I don't know if my father's body is okay now." Zhao Yu thought of King Zhao and sighed at these people.
The surrounding crowd, seeing that Zhao Yu had already walked up, saluted one after another: "I have seen the prince, the prince misses the king, and if the king learns, he will be very pleased."
"The younger brother has seen the elder brother ......". Zhao Wuming also hurriedly saluted, thinking of yesterday's events, he had a good impression of this eldest brother.
Zhao Yu hurriedly supported Zhao Wuming, and his eyes also glanced at everyone at the same time: "Fourth brother, everyone, you don't need to be polite."
One of the guards sped inside. The guests are all outside, and as a host, you shouldn't be ignorant of the outside.
"The fourth brother turned out that the second brother misunderstood you, not the second brother who said you. Why didn't you tell the second brother earlier that you were invited by the eldest brother? “。 Watching Zhao Yu help Zhao Wuming up, Zhao Yu showed a hint of emotion, and there was a little bit of complaint.
When Zhao Wuming was about to say something, he heard a hearty voice from inside the door: "No wonder I heard the call of a magpie when I got up today." It turned out that three sons came to the door at the same time ......".
Hearing this voice, everyone who was embarrassed breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly coaxed.
"Xue Qian, we didn't say you, the fourth prince and the prince came to the banquet together, why didn't you say it."
"It's because you didn't say it that we almost had a misunderstanding."
"Just because you don't tell us about this, you should be fined three bottles of wine by yourself."
"Everyone is commenting, originally we thought that only the second son would come. I didn't think that he actually invited the crown prince and the fourth prince, and we almost made a fool of ourselves, and everyone said that this person should not be punished."
"But it's still your Xue Qian's big face, and you actually invited three sons at one time, which makes us so envious."
Although a man was wearing a brocade robe, he could not hide the murderous aura of the battlefield between his eyebrows. Hearing the incessant commotion, Xue Qian smiled and saluted to Zhao Yu and the others: "The prince, the second son, the fourth son, Xue Qian is willing to punish himself and apologize to you for the late meeting."
"Lone has just come, how can you say that it is late? If you punish the wine, you can take it back." Zhao Yu looked at Xue Qian with a gentle gaze.
Zhao Wei also hurriedly echoed: "I heard that when you entered the court, you followed his father, the national lieutenant Xue Li. Lead the army to retreat in the north and relieve the danger of the new city. The prestige of the official worships the captain, which makes this son envious."
"I'm ashamed, this prestige is all earned by my father, and it's not a real skill." Xue Qian hurriedly showed a modest look, and when he said the word father, he had a look of emotion.
Hearing the word Lou Fu, Zhao Wuming thought of the map he saw in Seoul, and subconsciously asked: "I heard that Lou Fu is more north of the Huns, I don't know if it's right."
"Huns?". Xue Qian thought about it in his mind, but he didn't have the slightest image of this aspect, so he could only look at the group of people around him as if asking for help.
"Huns? What a strange name".
"Is this a country? Why we've never heard of it."
"Lou is annoyed further north, this ...... If we ride in a chariot, how many years will we need to walk".
"It's too far to go, and there's no news about it at all."
Hearing these people's discussions, Zhao Wuming was slightly stunned. silently calculated the distance in his heart, and then smiled: "This son is seen from the wild history, maybe it is some people's nonsense, but it is not necessarily."
"Since it is unconfirmed news, please say less in the future, fourth brother." Zhao Yan seems to be serious and comforting, but in fact, there is something to say.
Zhao Yu listened to Zhao Yan pretending to be a generous brother, and frowned slightly: "Ten years in a hurry, the fourth brother is no longer the young child he was at the beginning, and he has his own opinions in every word and deed. When the second brother is chatting, don't take it too seriously."
"Look at it, if it weren't for my brother's reminder, my son would have almost forgotten. It has been ten years since I last met my fourth brother, and the children of the past have grown up. The fourth brother and the second brother retracted the sentence just now." After Zhao Yan finished speaking, he saluted directly to Zhao Wuming.
Although Zhao Wuming hated this person in his heart, he didn't dare to be rude, and hurriedly returned the salute to Zhao Yan: "The second brother is a brother, and Wuming deserves it."
"Worthy of being the son of the king, brothers, friends and brothers are the envy of our good students." A group of people next to him hurriedly echoed, listening to the sharp edge of the three people's words. Before they figured out what was going on with the four sons, they didn't want to speak out and be evildoers.
Xue Qian turned his head to look at his mansion behind him, and then let out a long sigh: "You are outside the mansion and do not enter the mansion, if this is spread." How should people in the world think of me Xue Qian."
"Thousands of mistakes are Lonely's fault, if you don't go in, I'm afraid that Captain Xue will send troops to invite you." Zhao Yu smiled at Xue Qian, and by the way, he also made a joke to everyone.
Everyone was stunned, looked at Xue Qian's sighing appearance, and then a smile appeared on his face: "Xue Duwei has been crowning my Handan City with his bravery since he was a child, if he is invited by his soldiers, I think it is better to forget it."
"There is a way to eat soft rather than hard, let's go in obediently."
"As far as our soft body is concerned, where can it withstand it? Xue Duwei, who is annoyed by the shock, strikes, I think it's better to go first."
"Go?".
"Nonsense, of course I'm going to this house."
“……“。
With the sound of discussion, everyone hugged Zhao Yu and Zhao Wei and walked inside. Seeing that Zhao Wuming didn't know what to do, Zhao Yu grabbed Zhao Wuming and walked towards the lobby of the Governor's Mansion.
Pastries and fruits had already been placed in the lobby, and after seeing everyone sit down. Zhao Wuming raised his eyes and looked around, but found that he had no place for himself at all, and he couldn't help frowning.
"The fourth brother is not the second brother who said you, as the fourth son of my eldest Zhao, the fourth son of my father. Isn't it a bit rude to come to the banquet without informing the host in advance?" Zhao Yan's voice with a slight complaint and exhortation floated in, and everyone present was silent for a moment.
A hint of a smile appeared on Zhao Yu's face, and laughter followed. picked up a bottle of wine, and his tone seemed to be complaining to himself: "It's Lone's fault, it's Lone's fault that Lone went back to the palace yesterday for too many chores, and I forgot to tell Xue Duwei." Lone was willing to punish himself and plead guilty to Xue Duwei and everyone. Fourth brother, if you don't dislike it, don't trouble Xue Duwei, just sit by Lone's side."
"The prince is not to blame for this matter, it should be blamed on Qian, it is Qian's negligence. I knew that the fourth prince would come, but I didn't prepare a seat, so I should punish myself with three bottles. The fourth prince might as well order his subordinates to add an extra seat next to the prince, I don't know if it's okay." Xue Qian hurriedly spoke, and Zhao Wuming's sudden arrival caught him off guard. How to add seats, but he began to be embarrassed again.
Zhao Yu shook his head and looked at Zhao Yu who was in the main seat, and turned his eyes to Zhao Wuming and Xue Qian: "No, no, no, I think it's right next to this son, and I am adding a seat for the fourth brother."
"It's better to be under the big brother, add a seat for me." Zhao Wuming looked at Zhao Wei and felt uncomfortable, how awkward it would be to let himself do it with him.
Xue Qian nodded, and ordered outside the door: "Come and add a seat to the fourth prince under the prince."
The servant outside the door hurriedly agreed, carrying a desk and a roll of mats.
After the seats were added, Zhao Wuming walked over with Qingque and Sun Buji and sat down. A maid brought fruit, wine, and cakes and laid them out.
"I heard that the third brother has returned from the north, I don't know why my son didn't see him? Could it be that Xue Duwei was not invited? “。 Zhao Yan seemed to be just a momentary sigh, but his words were full of charm.
The people sitting here are all sons of powerful people, who have inherited official positions for generations, and looking at the scene in front of them, they naturally heard a special meaning. The crown prince and the fourth son, the second son and the third son. It seems that there is a fight above this court.
Hearing the mention of the third brother Zhao Fan, Zhao Yu seemed to be a little surprised: "Hearing the second brother say this, I miss the third brother a little."
"The eldest brother didn't know, and the younger brother learned that the third brother had made a great name in Daijun. Even the king of Yan in the neighboring country was full of praise for him, claiming that the third brother was a true general." Zhao Wei talked about Zhao Fan, and his face showed a trace of brilliance.
Zhao Yu heard Zhao Yan's praise for Zhao Fan, the smile on his face became a little thicker, and then he looked at Xue Qian: "Xue Duwei, don't tell Gu, you didn't invite my third brother."
"The third prince was called a true general by King Yan, how dare Qian not invite. It's just that the third prince thinks the banquet is too cumbersome, so he goes on a safari outside the city first." Xue Qian hurriedly explained, if Zhao Fan was not so reckless, how could he be called a real general.
Safari? Zhao Wuming's heart was shocked, it seemed that the main event was about to come. Zhao Yu pondered, and then showed a surprised look at Xue Qian: "How do you feel, Xue Duwei seems to have the intention of competing with my third brother."
"Wonderful, wonderful, a captain, a true general. If they don't fight, won't the hunting be too boring."
"My eldest Zhao has always been martial, if I can see the majesty of the third son, it is also a thing worthy of praise."
"Hearing you say that, I can't wait to go on a safari out of the city right now."
"Safari? Do you still want to compete with the third prince and the captain? I think you'd better wash and sleep, there's no shame in losing to them."
“……“。
When the last sentence of discussion dissipated, Xue Qian smiled at the full house: "You can't wait, how can Qian bear it." It's just that after all, you are going to a banquet in my house, and I humbly ask you to be patient after listening to the singing and dancing, drinking the wine and feast, and it is not too late to go on a safari."
"Today is supposed to be a feast, and if you go on a safari without finishing the feast, it is unreasonable. As for my third brother, ignore him." Zhao Yu hurriedly agreed, and the guests present felt reasonable and nodded one after another.
Xue Qian saw that they were the same, and hurriedly clapped his hands gently. There are dancing girls rushing in, and after a while, Miaoman's clear voice spreads. Everyone listened to the music and danced, drank and tasted food, and the atmosphere gradually became noisy.
