The queen and the concubine naturally sat on the emperor's left and right hands, while several cousins sat on the lower hand, although they were relatives, but after all, men and women were different, and they were still separated from the queen and concubine's seats by a position.

In this way, a round table seems to divide them into two parts.

Zhu Feng took his two concubines and the three brothers of the Chen family, as if they were confronting each other.

Just thinking like this, Nanyan couldn't help but smile in his heart.

How could it be.

At this time, a group of palace maids walked in from outside, holding dishes in their hands, and came forward in turn to distribute dishes on the round table, since it was a family banquet, the natural dishes would not be as luxurious as the state banquets in the past, but they were also delicacies from the mountains and seas, with everything, very rich.

Zhu Feng glanced at the three of them again, and then said, "You-"

Chen Zixiao immediately understood what he was going to ask, and said, "Your Majesty, please don't worry, our three brothers are considered to be in the Fire House, and our diet is no different from ordinary people. ”

Zhu Feng said: "That's good." ”

So, he raised the wine glass in his hand first: "Come." ”

"Your Majesty."

And they all raised their glasses, and drank first.

Then the table began.

Since it was a family banquet, there was naturally no extra etiquette, everyone ate and chatted about some gossip. Among the three brothers of the Chen family, Chen Zixiao and Chen Yiliu probably didn't talk much because of their relationship in Taoist practice, but they had to answer questions.

It was that Chen Xuan, blinking a pair of bright eyes and looking at everything around him, he was obviously very curious about this world that was completely different from the Taoist temple on the mountain, and he grabbed everything and asked.

So, the atmosphere is quite harmonious.

At this time, Ye Zhen walked in from the outside again, leaned into Zhu Feng's ear, and said a few words very lightly.

Zhu Feng nodded, and then said: "Over there in Changqing City, let Wen Ye go back to guard immediately, and don't have any problems." ”

"Yes."

Ye Zhen left.

Nanyan looked at him, originally wanted to ask, but she didn't want to leave this truth behind even if it was a family banquet.

It was Chen Zixiao, who watched Ye Zhen leave, and said, "Is the emperor going to send troops to Changqing City now?" ”

Zhu Feng glanced at him: "You know? ”

Chen Zixiao said: "After coming here, I heard something about King Ning's rebellion. The emperor surrounded Wei to save Zhao, and the battle of drawing wages at the bottom of the kettle can be described as extremely exciting. This battle is enough to be enshrined in the art of war. ”

Zhu Feng glanced at him with some surprise.

"You, have you seen the art of war?"

Chen Xuan, who was on the side, immediately said: "Your Majesty, Brother Zixiao has been learning the art of war from his father-in-law since he was a child. ”

"Oh?"

Zhu Feng was even more surprised.

"Didn't you practice with him?"

Chen Zixiao was only silent for a moment, and immediately said: "When we were young, my uncle was still in Wudang Mountain, taking us with the people over there, getting up every morning to practice martial arts, and Peiyuan to build a foundation; Later, after going to Ling Tianshan, my uncle began to take the grass people to learn the art of war, and over the years, he has read books on the art of war. ”

"I see."

When Zhu Feng heard this, he didn't have too much expression on his face, but there was light in his eyes, which flickered slightly.

After a while, he said with a smile: "I have heard people mention that my uncle was also a fierce general back then, and he made countless contributions under the command of Emperor Gao. ”

"Don't dare. With the emperor here, the grass people don't dare to get an axe. ”

Chen Xuan on the side smiled and said: "Big brother, you are humble again, my father-in-law said that you have his true inheritance, didn't you come out this time and specially ask you to contribute more to the emperor?" ”

Chen Zixiao's face sank: "You are talking nonsense again." ”

Chen Xuan hurriedly lowered his head: "Oh." ”

Compared with the emperor who was also present, he seemed to be more afraid of this big brother.

Zhu Feng looked at them for a while, then smiled and said, "Zixiao, you don't have to be presumptuous, since the old uncle has an explanation, you might as well stay in the court, it's just right-"

As he spoke, he turned his head to look at Xu Miaoyin: "Before, I was still discussing with Shifeng, and the DPRK was at the time of employing people, and my brother could just go to the army to experience and experience. ”

“……”

Xu Miaoyin's face was slightly stunned.

But immediately smiled: "The emperor arranged it." ”

Chen Zixiao said: "Thank you, Your Majesty." ”

Zhu Feng waved his hand, looked at Chen Yiliu on the side, and said, "Yiliu is also a martial artist?" ”

Chen Yiliu smiled and said: "Yiliu has been weak since he was a child, and after cultivating in Wudang Mountain for a few years, he was only exempted from some diseases, but he can't practice martial arts." ”

"Oh."

"Fortunately, before he became a monk, he was a scribe, and Yiliu has been studying with him all these years."

Zhu Feng said: "I see. Yesterday, I had a conversation with the head of the Truth-Keeping Path, and I found that although he was a monk, he had a wide range of knowledge and a unique vision of things, and he was not a layman. You are his disciple, and if you want to come, you are not a vulgar stream. ”

Chen Yiliu said with a smile: "The emperor praises falsely, and the grass people dare not be ashamed." ”

In the end, Zhu Feng turned his head to look at Chen Xuan, Chen Xuan had been smiling on the side, and at this time he felt the emperor's gaze looking at him, and immediately sat upright.

"Emperor, Emperor......"

Zhu Feng said: "Chen Xuan, what about you?" ”

"I-I-"

Chen Zixiao sighed on the side and said, "Over the years, he has only learned to make trouble on the mountain, if the emperor really wants to ask him what ability he has, he only has such one ability." ”

Chen Xuan immediately said: "Big brother, don't dismantle my platform." ”

Everyone laughed, even Zhu Feng.

It's just that Nanyan sat quietly on the side, looking at their smiling appearances, and found that although Xu Miaoyin was smiling, there was no smile in those gentle eyes.

Next, although this family banquet ended very happily in Chen Xuan's interjection, but until the end, Xu Miaoyin did not say a word.

After the meeting was dismissed, everyone dispersed.

Nanyan returned to Furong Ju, sitting on the couch, her waist couldn't stand up, she only hummed straight, Ran Xiaoyu stepped forward, and while serving her tea, she said, "Niangniang, what's wrong?" I've been busy all day and all night before, and I've never seen you so tired. Today is just going to have a meal, and you are tired like this? ”

Nanyan took the tea and took a sip.

Then he smiled meaningfully and said, "You think it's just a meal?" ”

Ran Xiaoyu looked at her with wide eyes in surprise: "What's wrong?" ”

“……”

"Just now, the slave maid came over from there, and when I passed by Yishoutang, I saw the queen mother walk in, and her face didn't seem to look good."

“……”

"Is something wrong?"

"It's not that something happened," Nan Yan pursed the edge of the teacup and said in a deep voice, "There may be something going to happen." ”
