Chapter 115: Pingyang Palace's Banquet (1)

Soon in the evening, Song Li took Jing Yan Lingqiu to the Pingyang Palace for a banquet.

In order to ensure the safety of the three of them, she deliberately brought the Longque Sword.

There are many guests in front of Pingyang Palace, and it seems that people with heads and faces in Jinyang City have been invited to come.

Song Li and Chu Rong's carriage arrived in front of the Pingyang Palace, and the guests at the door suddenly looked at the carriage in unison, and the atmosphere instantly froze.

One is the well-known Chu Shizi, and the other is the terrifying commander of the punishment army, both of which cannot be underestimated.

"Ruthless Lord!"

Chu Zeting, who was leading the guests at the door, looked at Song Li, and a bitter hatred burst out of the door in his eyes, and he arched his hand towards Song Li's location and shouted through gritted teeth.

Song Li also looked at Chu Zeting, a sneering smile crossed her eyes, and she raised the dragon in her hand slightly and said meaningfully: "I haven't seen you for a while, but the prince is still looking good." She said flatteringly, but the sneer in her eyes did not diminish in the slightest.

"That's right." A meaningful smile flashed in her eyes, she coughed lightly, cleared her throat, and said, "I wonder if the stolen things from the palace have been recovered?" If you don't have this official, you won't be stingy and make a hand! ”

When Chu Zeting heard this, his eyes suddenly sharpened, "Thank you, my lord, I have understood the kindness of my lord, but the person who came is a guest, since I am a guest, how can I trouble my lord!" ”

"It's not troublesome, how could it be!"

Song Li shook his head, and the smile in his eyes grew.

"My lord, please."

Chu Zeting didn't bother to talk nonsense with Song Li anymore, and quickly made a gesture of invitation to her.

The corners of Song Li's mouth hooked slightly, and she quickly turned over and dismounted and handed the reins in her hand to the guards on the side, she took two steps and stopped and turned around: "This official should wait for Chu Shizi!" ”

A trace of unknown darkness flashed in Chu Zeting's eyes, he thought that the Chu Shizi in Song Li's mouth was referring to him, and just when he was wondering when Song Li became so good at talking, he saw a man in the carriage on the side slowly walking a man with a well-dressed and elegant instrument.

"Chu Shizi!"

Song Li arched his hand at Chu Rong, and then threw a disdainful smile at Chu Zeting.

Receiving the look of disdain from Song Li, looking at Chu Rong, Chu Zeting's face was suddenly as ugly as eating a fly.

Everyone in the world knows Chu Shizi, but no one knows him Chu Zeting.

The same surname Chu is also the son of the world, but the son of Chu has become the exclusive title of Chu Rong, and when he mentions Chu Shizi, he thinks of Chu Rong and ignores him Chu Zeting.

Feeling the jealousy that flashed on Chu Zeting's body, Song Li's gaze instantly became deep.

I didn't expect Chu Zeting to be jealous of Chu Rong, but it was also reasonable, Chu Rong was literate at the age of three, capable of martial arts at the age of eight, tongue and war at the age of sixteen, and won the debate with the champion of liberal arts at the age of eighteen, which made the other party admire, and at the age of twenty, he was far away in the capital to plan for the prince to repel the enemy army who came to the border pass, laying an unbreakable foundation for his reputation.

is also the son of the Chu family, but Chu Zeting seems to be unknown.

"Ruthless Lord." Chu Rong bowed slightly at Song Li, and then looked at Chu Zeting and said softly: "Son." ”

Chu Rong's move immediately made Chu Zeting dissatisfied.

It was obvious that he was in front of Song Li, but Chu Rong bypassed him first to greet Song Li before greeting him.

"Chu Shizi."

He forced his face and saluted Chu Rong with a smile.

"Qi Yu! Lord Jing! ”

At the same time, Chu Tianfeng, Song Huaijin and a group of officials from the capital were also late. ”

Chu Tianfeng got down from the horse and smiled at Chu Rong and Jing Yan.

Immediately, his eyes fell on Song Li's dress and the Longque sword, his expression was suddenly stunned, he quickly understood that this was the ruthlessness of the punishment army commander in Jing Yan's mouth, he looked at Song Li for a moment, and a trace of hesitation flashed in his eyes, "Ruthless lord." ”

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"

Seeing that Chu Tian arrived, Chu Zeting quickly removed the different color on his face.

Chu Tianfeng glanced at Chu Zeting, and with a salty and nonchalant hum, he set his eyes on Song Li again.

Song Li took the suspicion that flashed in Chu Tianfeng's eyes into his eyes, and his eyes were slightly dark.

Obviously, Chu Tianfeng knew that she was not the real commander of the Punishment Army, so he showed this look.

But Chu Tianfeng did not demolish her, but accompanied her to act, so she had to do a full set of this play.

"See His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"

She quickly put away her thoughts and bent slightly to Chu Tianfeng and said in a loud voice.

Chu Tianfeng quickly withdrew his gaze and nodded lightly, then walked to the carriage and opened the curtain.

Song Huaijin slowly got out of the carriage under Chu Tianfeng's support, his face was still a little pale, a little sickly, his head was tied with a white bandage, and his whole body was filled with a strong medicinal fragrance.

"Qi Yu, Lord Ruthless."

His gaze swept over Song Li and fell on Chu Rong, and he smiled faintly.

Chu Rong glanced at Song Huaijin worriedly, frowning slightly, "Why are you still sick after so long?" ”

As he spoke, he glanced at Song Li quietly.

Song Li looked at Song Huaijin with a trace of imperceptible worry flashing in his eyes, but it quickly disappeared.

Chu Tianfeng Yuguang had never left Song Li's expression, so naturally he didn't let go of the worry that flashed in her eyes.

He looked at Song Li curiously, and saw that her expression quickly returned to normal, as if nothing had happened, he thought that he had seen it away, so he retracted his gaze and said to Chu Rong helplessly: "Mu Feng rested for two days and then devoted himself to disaster relief again, no matter how I persuaded him, he didn't listen, he has been tired these days, and sometimes he can't even take the medicine on time, so naturally it has become like this." ”

"The disaster has not been alleviated, and tens of thousands of people have not yet filled their stomachs, how can I relax."

Song Huaijin smiled, obviously not taking the injuries on his body to heart.

"Lord Song loves the people like a son, but he also has to pay attention to his body, disaster relief is not something that can be completed in a day or two, if you are tired and fall, won't these heavy responsibilities all fall on His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and other adults, increasing their burden."

Song Li's emotions were well concealed, and he didn't show too much emotion, looking more like a greeting between colleagues.

"Who is this lord?"

Song Huaijin saw that Song Li was a little angry, and looked at Chu Tianfeng with a slight startled curiosity.

"This is the Ruthless Lord of the Punishment Army."

Seeing Song Huaijin's puzzled look, Chu Tianfeng smiled slightly and quickly introduced to him.

Song Huaijin quickly nodded in realization when he heard this, and then arched his hand to Song Li: "Xia Guan has seen a ruthless adult!" ”

Song Li nodded, his eyes swept over Song Huaijin's door, and when he saw that there was no big problem, he nodded slowly.

After several people saw each other, they met and entered the palace.

Chu Zeting stood at the door and looked at the few people who were chatting happily, and his eyes sank inch by inch.

The palace was already full.

The simultaneous appearance of several people quickly caused quite a stir.

During the banquet, they knelt down and greeted Chu Tianfeng in unison.

"See His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, His Royal Highness Chitose Chitose Chitose!"

Chu Tianfeng waved his hand as usual, "No courtesy." Then he looked at the king of Pingyang on the throne, his eyes were a little dark, "I haven't seen you for a long time, and the imperial uncle is still old and strong!" ”

"Haha, I haven't seen the emperor's nephew grow so big for a few years."

King Pingyang laughed, but there was no smile in his eyes, and the muscles on his face were almost stiff with laughter.

Song Li secretly scolded, and the smiling tiger followed Chu Rong and Song Huaijin into the seat.

Looking at the sumptuous dishes and the people who were talking and laughing with each other, the chill in Song Li's eyes gradually spread.

The peaceful and sublimated life of Pingyang Wangfu is in stark contrast to the disaster area outside the door.

The maid on the side quickly stepped forward to pour tea and water for her own responsibility, and Song Li's eyes swept around the banquet and quickly fell on Song Huaijin opposite.

Song Huaijin also looked at Song Li's eyes, and the light kept surging.

"I wonder if I've seen it with Ruthless Lady somewhere? I always think that the shape of an adult looks a little familiar? ”

He raised his teacup to the gift-giver and asked tentatively.

Song Li smiled, also picked up the teacup, and the two clinked glasses gently.

"Naturally, I have seen it, but Lord Song doesn't remember me."

She said slowly, draining the cup of tea.

Song Huaijin looked at her movements, a hint of inquiry flashed in her eyes, Song Li's words were seamless, this should be the first time that the commander of the penal army appeared outside, he had also been in contact with the penal army, but what he saw was Jing Yan, if it wasn't for hearing Chu Tianfeng say today, he would have thought that the penal army was not in command but directly obeyed the emperor's orders.

Maybe the two really met somewhere in the palace, but he didn't remember.

Thinking about letting go of the doubts in his heart, he slowly put the cup down and turned his head to talk to the officials next to him in a low voice.

Seeing that Song Huaijin's doubts were dispelled, Song Li's hanging heart finally fell back into his stomach.

She looked up at the table and noticed an interesting phenomenon.

During the banquet, there was a black gas lingering in the wealth and silk palace in this group of people, the wealth and silk palace represented a person's financial luck, and the bright wealth of the palace represented that they wanted to enter the wealth, on the contrary, it was a sign of broken wealth.

"See what?"

Her eyes kept wandering between the banquets, Chu Rong and Song Huaijin whispered a few words, and then turned her head to see her eyes like torches, her eyes flickered a little, and she couldn't help but ask curiously.

Song Li hooked the corners of his mouth, quickly leaned over to Chu Rong's side, and said in a voice that the two of them could hear: "Your Highness is going to benefit the victims today!" ”

Chu Rong didn't understand Song Li's words a little.

Song Li retracted his body, and the smile on the corner of his mouth became deeper and deeper.

Chu Rong looked at the meaningful smile on the corner of her mouth, and his eyes fell on Chu Tianfeng, who was still talking to King Pingyang, and his heart moved slightly.

The feast proceeded slowly.

Suddenly, Song Li felt a fiery gaze.

She followed her gaze and saw that in the women's banquet, Zhao Qingyang was looking at her intently, and lowered her head shyly when she saw her.

Song Li looked at Zhao Qingyang's shy appearance, his eyes were slightly tight.

She looked away and landed on Zhao Fuyin, who was also looking at her.

Zhao Fuyin smiled at her, picked up the wine glass and drank with her in the air.

Seeing Song Li look away, a trace of loneliness crossed Zhao Qingyang's eyes, she lowered her head and took a sip of tea to set her eyes on Song Li again.

But Song Li never gave her a look, which made her feel a little disappointed.

"The unlucky ghost is here too!"

Chu Rong said to her suddenly, pointing forward as he spoke.

Song Li looked in the direction he pointed, and saw that the man who was beaten by her in the restaurant that day was drinking with a group of young boys with a swollen head.

As if sensing the naked gaze of the two, the man suddenly turned around and quickly collided with the gaze of the two.

He was stunned for a moment, but soon saw his face, and his face suddenly became ugly.

A pair of eyes locked Chu Rong as if they had been quenched with poison.

"You're in trouble!"

Seeing that the man was staring at Chu Rong intently, as if he was about to eat people, Song Li couldn't help but smile and said in a low voice.

"Is that troublesome?" Chu Rong sneered and slowly withdrew his gaze, "You also think too highly of him." ”

Seeing that Chu Rong was not looking at him, the man retracted his gaze fiercely and talked in a low voice with the boy at the same table.

After a while, he slowly stood up and walked towards Chu Rong's location.

Song Li looked at the man walking towards them angrily, his eyes slightly raised, "It's okay, the scar forgot the pain, and hurriedly came to find a beating?" She took a sip of tea and said to Chu Rong with a smile and a whisper.

When Chu Rong heard this, his eyelids raised slightly and glanced at the man lightly, and he also smiled: "It may be that you don't remember to eat or not." ”
