Although the Lingxi Palace of the Patriotic State is not as elaborate as the White Jade Palace of the Qi State, not as colorful as the Jinyang Palace of the Chen State, not as like a fairyland as the Yibi Palace of the Shu Kingdom, and not as graceful and gorgeous as the Zhaohuang Palace of the Chu State, but there were pavilions and pavilions in the Lingxi Palace, carved beams and paintings, which are still much more magnificent than the Zhao Guoning and the Palace of Zhao Guoning, who are all simple.

Tonight's Lingxi Palace is lit up, and the red lanterns are lined up, but they illuminate the mess and dilapidation that should have been hidden in the night.

Shu'er was dressed in Qi men's clothes, black and red robes, and her head was tied with a red ribbon embroidered by Shu, but she did not wear the diamond jade engraved plum hairpin given to her by her father-in-law. She walked side by side with Zhuge calmly, wondering why he didn't say anything to her all day, only to hear him suddenly ask: "Shu'er, it's just that you wear Qi men's clothes at the enthronement ceremony and court meeting, after all, you are the left forward general of Qi State." But at tonight's celebration banquet, you are still wearing this Qi national men's dress, are you unwilling to sit at the same table with your husband? At the banquet, as the wife of the first-class duke of the country, isn't it good to have me serve you food and block wine for you? ”

Seeing that there was no one around, Shu'er explained in a low voice: "Calmly, it's not that I don't want to wear the patriotic women's clothes you prepared for me, it's just that ...... Before the court, you should have heard what Qing Yu said to me. He and Yi Feng were not people of many words, but he deliberately said to me twice, 'King Song personally went to save the female general of Qi State', which was obviously a reminder to me that he had heard some rumors. If I dress up again, won't I be more convinced of those rumors? ”

Zhuge calmly glanced sideways at Shu'er, and asked knowingly, "What rumors?" ”

Shu'er saw that Zhuge was calm and a little abnormal, but he didn't know why he was like this suddenly. Hiding her anger, she said, "I don't believe you haven't heard it." ”

Zhuge sighed calmly and said, "Doesn't it mean that Liu Jing, the king of Song, has fallen in love with Yan, the wife of the leader of the Restoration League and the female general of the Qi State?" It's just that others don't know your background, so how can I listen to that nonsense? You grew up together, he was your brother, how could he not save you? ”

Shu'er breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It's good that you don't believe those nonsense." ”

Zhuge calmly said in a calm tone, but there was still coldness: "Of course I don't believe the words of others." But Shu'er, since you entered the Song Kingdom Heavenly Prison once and the White Jade Palace again, your attitude and appearance towards me have changed. I want to hear you tell me what happened. ”

Shu'er didn't know where to start, so she had to bow her head and remain silent. She knew that once this matter was spoken, the two of them would never be able to fly together in this life. She was reluctant to tell him. At least tonight, she still wants to walk beside him for the last time in front of many, many people, and be the wife of a first-class duke of the country.

The two of them were stopping in the long alley outside the Jialin Palace, one was speechless, the other was silent, only to hear Qing Yu raise his voice and say: "Lord! Alliance Leader! ”

Qing Yu and Yi Feng walked quickly in front of the two, Qing Yu smiled and saluted, "Why did the alliance leader and the lord stop outside to blow the cold wind?" Let's go inside! ”

Yi Feng also saluted and said: "I heard that the National Restoration National Banquet prepared by King Wei is very extravagant, our brother is very curious!" ”

Shu'er smiled and glanced at Qing Yu and Yi Feng, who had inadvertently relieved her, and walked towards the Jialin Hall with the two of them, saying as she walked: "Brother Qing Yu, Brother Yi Feng, I almost killed you in the southern suburbs of the Jade Capital, today's banquet, I want to toast well and personally apologize to the two of you!" ”

Qing Yu smiled: "It's okay! Speaking of which, it's not just you who hurt us, but also Su Yang from your Biliang cosmetics shop! When we were going around in circles in the country of Chen, it was he who sent the military order of the alliance leader and asked us to go to the jade capital. ”

Yi Feng nodded and said, "Now the dilemma has been solved!" The lord does not need to blame himself. ”

Qing Yu said: "Speaking of toasting, our brother should give a toast to the lord." If you hadn't broken into the southern suburbs alone on the battlefield and sent yourself to the Song Kingdom Prison......"

Yi Feng glared at Qing Yu, Qing Yu immediately understood, quickly glanced at Zhuge calmly standing behind the three of them, coughed and changed the topic, and said: "When we were in Chu before, we talked with Dongfang Xiaogong about the food in various places, and also 'talked on paper' about the famous dishes of Shu and Chu. At tonight's restoration banquet, King Wei won't entertain us with dishes from other countries, right? ”

Shu'er bothered her spirits and said with a smile: "It must be that hairy little Dongfang who is alarmist again!" Although the dishes of the defense of the country are not as famous as the diamond jade and the Wei Baojian, they are not so much that they can't even put out a celebration banquet. Let's go in and see. ”

The four of them stepped into the Jialin Palace, Shu'er followed behind Zhuge Congrong, and sat with him on the seat of the First Rank Duke of Weiguo, while Qing Yu and Yifeng sat in the position of the guest secretary of Shu who was far away from them.

Shu'er hadn't sat down yet, and when she looked up, she suddenly felt that the Manchu civil and military officials and guests from all over the world in the Jialin Hall were looking at her with strange eyes, or at her, looking at her husband.

She pretended to be fine, and began to look around, seeing that the Jialin Palace was very well repaired, and the palace people served dishes and drinks one after another, although those dishes looked ordinary, they were all meaty, and they were definitely no worse than the food in the humble Zhao Palace...... She couldn't help but look at every piece of furnishings in the Jialin Palace, but she still felt that there were countless pairs of eyes in the hall looking at her with strange eyes, and also looking at her husband with the same strange eyes.

She really wanted to eat with her head bored, but King Wei hadn't arrived, and no one had been rude to move her chopsticks.

She sat with her cheeks crossed, staring at the roast chicken, roast duck, cabbage, and tofu in front of the desk for a while, and then looked at the roast chicken, roast duck, cabbage, and tofu in front of the case of Qingyu and Yifeng in the distance, but she refused to make contact with anyone's eyes. She wanted to say something calmly to Zhuge beside her, but he was expressionless in a daze, and she had to sigh softly.

At this time, she suddenly missed Lin Ying, who was afraid that the world would not be chaotic. As long as Lin Ying is by her side, she will never feel embarrassed. Lin Ying will always make all kinds of jokes with her without concealment, and he can't wait to make fun of the people in the world again, so that he can feel comfortable. Even under the nose of King Zhao, he dared to say unscrupulously that Zhao Guo was poor and sour...... Even an iron-blooded tough guy like General Sun Kuo was submissive by him with crooked tricks. Xiao Ying, Xiao Ying, if you were here, how would you defuse the strange atmosphere here for your useless sister Shu'er?

King Wei came late, and the National Restoration Day banquet began ceremoniously. Lile Song and Dance finally blocked a strange gaze for Shu'er.

Although Zhuge calmly frequently served her dishes, and smiled and told her which dish was delicious, she could also faintly feel his strangeness.

After three rounds of drinking, Zhong Kui, the deputy general under Chen Guo's left forward general Feng Cheng, got up and limped over with a wine cup. Shu'er felt that his smile was not friendly. He said calmly to Zhuge in a loud voice: "Alliance leader, Zhong Kui respects you a cup!" If it weren't for your wife's sacrifice for righteousness, my old bell would be buried in the southern suburbs of Yudu, not only with one leg, but also with one life! Lady Kenshe, the leader of the alliance, save my 80,000 allies, it is really loyal and filial! My old clock, admire! ”

Zhuge stood up calmly, raised the wine cup in front of the case, touched a glass with Zhong Kui with an expressionless face, drank the wine down, and asked, "Why did General Zhong say this?" ”

Zhong Kui glanced at Shu'er with a smile, picked up the wine pot in front of Zhuge calmly, filled his wine cup, and said to Shu'er: "Mrs. Alliance Leader, I think the title of the first-class duke of the country should actually be given to you!" I didn't expect that the cold-faced and ruthless King Song would be able to eat a beauty trick! Ha ha! Although my old Zhong is a rough man, but to defend the country and restore the country, the four ** alliances can successfully meet Dongyang, who has the greatest credit, my old Zhong can still see it clearly. Since this is the National Restoration Day Banquet, how can my old bell disrespect you with three cups?
