Chapter 71: Going to the Banquet Alone
Yang Yun followed Mu Yu to protect Mu Yu, so I really don't know where Mu Yu's sentence that you will make a mistake if you follow it came from.
"Childe, I can protect you. ”
"There's no need for this, now my life is at stake in the life of a certain big man, so I can't die, and didn't the palace send a carriage to pick me up?"
"Besides, in this case, if you go alone, it will seem that you have confidence on your side, and if you bring someone, it seems that you are afraid, so you must not lose face, so that they can be a little more jealous. ”
Yang Yun immediately understood.
Mu Yu didn't take anyone with him, so that he could still support the scene, let people know that he was very calm, not afraid that this was a Hongmen banquet, and he could overwhelm the emperor and them in momentum at the beginning, so as not to be overwhelmed by them as a guest.
"In that case, then Childe should be careful when he goes. ”
"Rest assured. After saying that, Mu Yu left directly and came to the door, where a luxurious carriage was already waiting at the door.
"Kiba Childe, please get in the car. ”
Gonggong Liu invited Mu Yu into the car, and then the carriage began to move.
The carriage traveled very fast, and in less than a quarter of an hour, it came to the palace.
Everything was ready, the doors of the palace opened very naturally, the carriage drove in, and finally stopped at the place of the Qianqing Palace.
After Gonggong Liu got off the carriage with Mu Yu, he said respectfully: "Mu Yu Zongzi, Your Majesty, and some other princes and adults are already waiting for you at the banquet." ”
"It's a real honor to have so many big names waiting for me. ”
Mu Yu smiled slightly, and then walked into the Qianqing Palace.
After coming in, Mu Yu found that there were really a lot of people, except for the emperor, princess and prince, basically all the high-ranking officials were there.
The two rows of banquet tables on the left and right are one table for each person, and the aisle in the middle is a palace maid dancing.
Before Mu Yu came in, the atmosphere in the palace was very heavy, but after Mu Yu came in, Emperor Zhou Tianhai broke the dull atmosphere with a hearty laugh: "Hahahaha, Mu Yu, you are finally here, sit down quickly, you don't need to salute." ”
After all, Zhou Tianhai has a request for Mu Yu today, so he still has to give Mu Yu face very, very much.
"Thank you, Your Majesty. After saying that, Mu Yu walked towards the front under the guidance of the palace maid, because the place reserved for Mu Yu was the closest to the front, in the first row on the right.
When Mu Yu walked forward, many people nodded to Mu Yu to say hello, because Mu Yu was already an existence that they couldn't despise at will, so of course this face had to be given.
Mu Yu was not too crazy, after all, it was not a wise choice to provoke too many enemies, and only with friends can there be a future, so Mu Yu also responded with a smile.
Today, Mu Yu doesn't mind making more friends with some officials, the benefits definitely outweigh the disadvantages.
After Mu Yu sat down, Zhou Tianhai said with a smile: "Mu Yu, we haven't seen each other for many years. ”
"It's been many years since we've seen each other, so when I heard that His Majesty was going to invite me to a banquet today, I was very surprised, and I thought it was a dream, but I didn't expect it to be true. Mu Yu said that it was an exaggeration.
"But I think that Your Majesty will not invite me idlely, so what is the matter with Your Majesty's sudden invitation to me? If there is something particularly difficult, then I may not be able to do it, so before this banquet begins, Your Majesty will first tell me your request, so that I can be mentally prepared, and if I can't agree, it is better for me to leave early." ”
Mu Yu showed an attitude and told Zhou Tianhai that Wan Hao's matter was basically free to be discussed.
Zhou Tianhai didn't expect Mu Yu to be so direct: "It seems that Wan Yuanhao's seal can't be spoken." Alas. ”
Zhou Tianhai sighed, but it didn't matter, because he had expected it for a long time, so inviting Mu Yu naturally had other purposes.
Zhou Tianhai immediately smiled and said: "Mu Yu, don't think too much, this is just an ordinary banquet, but there are no other additional requirements, so you relax." Come here is for everyone to have a meal and chat, there is no need to be too restrictive, there is no class distinction in this banquet, so you can be normal. ”
"If that's the case, I'm relieved. ”
"Okay, okay, everyone is here today, let's eat the dishes first, Mu Yu, today are some dishes specially prepared for you, you can taste them, I hope it meets your appetite." ”
"It's all made by the palace chef, and the taste will naturally not be bad, and it will definitely satisfy me. After finishing speaking, Mu Yu also began to taste the dishes.
Zhou Tianhai didn't speak, so Mu Yu didn't need to speak in a hurry.
Today's dishes are really carefully prepared, and there are some sea monster meat, which is relatively rare, because the Cold Moon Empire is relatively far away from the seaside.
When Mu Yu was tasting the dishes, a middle-aged man next to Mu Yu smiled and toasted to Mu Yu: "Virtuous nephew, I haven't seen you for many years, uncle has a glass of wine." ”
Mu Yu remembered that this person was Yang Gaojie, the secretary of the ministry, that is, Yang Xuehe's father, who was not quite compatible with Mu Yu.
Mu Yu knew that Yang Gaojie was for Yang Xuehe's business, so he didn't give him face, and raised his wine glass: "Lord Yang is polite, I should be here to toast you." ”
"Virtuous nephew, don't be too polite, on this occasion today, we don't need to care about any seniority, and the little girl Xuehe provoked you a few days ago, I really want to say sorry to you. is busy with state affairs and has been lax in discipline, so she is a little pampered, don't take it to heart. ”
If it were normal times, Yang Xuehe was bullied, Yang Gaojie would never spare that person easily.
But now, Wan Yuan Hao has been so miserable, he is a little afraid to provoke Mu Yu, it is more appropriate to turn Mu Yu into a jade silk, so as not to get into some unnecessary trouble.
"Lord Yang is polite, they are all classmates, there have been some conflicts in the academy, how can I take them to heart? ”
As he spoke, Mu Yu drank all the wine from the glass.
Yang Gaojie also drank it all, and then he relaxed a little, so that Mu Yu at least didn't hold a grudge.
At this time, Prime Minister Wang Shaohui, who was sitting at the table opposite Mu Yu, spoke: "Virtuous nephew, you have been famous in the city recently, and it is difficult not to hear your name. When I heard that you were attacked some time ago, my uncle and I were really worried for a while. ”
"But I'm so busy that I didn't have time to visit you, I'm really ashamed, but now I'm really relieved to see you so good and unconvinced. Come, uncle toasts you, I believe that you have such an excellent performance, and your father and mother will definitely be happy for you. ”
"It's coming. Mu Yu said secretly.
Mu Yu and Wang Shaohui have no relationship, so at this moment, Wang Shaohui opened his mouth to give face, and he was close to it, and he praised Mu Yu, which was nothing more than an opening statement, so Mu Yu knew that the temptation was coming.
