Chapter 239: Confrontation between the Monarch and the Ministers of the Ghost Fetus
The two did not pay attention to everyone's scrutiny, but under the hospitality of the gentle and gorgeous maid, they went upstairs directly and entered the private room that Shen Changan had already booked.
Shen Changan was indeed already waiting in the private room.
This is a splendid and gorgeous but not tacky spacious room, seeing Zhao Yan and Huaiyu coming, Shen Changan hurriedly smiled and said hello.
Immediately, two maids floated up to Zhao Yan and Huaiyu, gently untied the big red and gold silk cloak they were wearing, and softly invited the two of them to sit in front of the short case.
Two more maids filled them with delicious wine.
The maids came and went quietly, and the delicacies filled the table.
Huaiyu secretly praised in his heart, worthy of being the No. 1 wine restaurant in Kyoto, even the maids are well-trained and dazzling, and the room is really full of brilliance.
And after Zhao Yan waited for the maid who poured the wine to retreat quietly, he glanced at Shen Chang'an, who was full of smiles, without a trace, and said slowly: "Xu Shen hasn't arrived yet?" ”
"Oh, he said he had something to do now, come back later, let's eat first."
"So." Zhao Yan said with a smile, "With such a good wine, he can be late, it's a pity." ”
As he spoke, he brought the wine glass in front of Huaiyu to him and placed it side by side with the wine glass in front of his table, "Huaiyu only likes to drink tea, not good at drinking, and I will take care of this wine." I remember, Chang'an doesn't seem to drink either? ”
"The son of the world has a good memory, but people can change." Shen Chang'an said, "After drinking wine once, I felt that the taste of tea was too bland. ”
He raised his wine glass, touched it towards Zhao Yan, and raised his head to drink.
"This is the world-famous Xifeng wine, mellow and elegant, sweet and refreshing, why not give it a try?"
Zhao Yan smiled, picked up the wine glass and drank it all.
"Yes, yes, but it's too spicy. I still prefer tea. He said to the maids on either side, "I'm tired of serving tea." ”
Immediately, a maid brought tea, quietly and quickly replaced the wine glass in front of Zhao Yan with a teacup, and floated away.
Huaiyu took a sip of tea and smiled: "I remember that Chang'an didn't like spicy food when he was a child, and my father also said that among the few of us, Chang'an was born exquisitely." ”
Shen Changan held the wine and was silent.
For a moment, there was silence in the private room.
Zhao Yan didn't squeak because Huaiyu praised others for their good looks, while Shen Chang'an's thoughts drifted to the days when he was a child, and he hid his father every day when he left the house.
The curtains were fluttering, the tea was fragrant, the maids stood quietly in a secret place, and the dishes on the table were not touched, I don't know how long it took, Shen Changan came back to his senses from his thoughts and broke this embarrassing tranquility:
"All in all, the three of us haven't talked and laughed together for nearly eight years like we have today."
Huaiyu slandered in his heart, are they really "talking and laughing"?
It's obviously a hard time to find a topic.
Sure enough, the reader must first be thick-skinned, master!
The three of them sat so unembarrassed and embarrassed, it really couldn't talk about "talking and laughing".
If only Xu Shen was here, Huaiyu couldn't help but think. Xu Shen has been the most talkative among them since he was a child, and he has endless topics to talk about on any occasion, and he is everyone's pistachio.
Such a talkative person does have a talent for business.
Huaiyu thought wildly, facing a table of delicious food, she didn't move her chopsticks.
Shen Changan invited himself and Zhao Yan out, it was definitely not a contact relationship, and Huaiyu also vaguely guessed his purpose. However, since he didn't take the initiative to say, Huaiyu didn't plan to ask.
"Oops! Good for you, Shen Chang'an, you actually eat delicious food here with me on your back! ”
Suddenly, a heavy footstep came, a deep voice sounded, and the door of the private room opened, and a young man in a gorgeous costume holding a folding fan walked in.
He walked in with a smile, saw Zhao Yan and the others present, and pretended to be surprised: "Isn't this Brother Yan!" It's really rare to meet Brother Yan here today! ”
Seeing the emperor, Huaiyu immediately knew what Shen Changan wanted to do.
The three of them got up and saluted, and Zhao Kou looked at Huaiyu beside Zhao Yan, "This must be the famous Gu Huaiyu." ”
Huaiyu arched his hands and bent his waist slightly.
The emperor didn't say that she was exempt, and she had to remain motionless, but fortunately, Zhao Yan had already stood up straight as usual, and naturally held Huaiyu's hand in the air, and Huaiyu also stood up straight, and smiled at Zhao Kou, "The emperor has a lot of leisure today?" ”
"I should ask Brother Yan about this, Brother Yan is busy with government affairs, and he often shrinks in the house, and it is rare to see Brother Yan in this Kyoto."
"Banquet idlers, how can there be any government affairs to be busy? It's the emperor's daily opportunity, but you must take care of your body. ”
The two of them smiled and looked happy.
Huaiyu secretly slandered: Okay, these two are the real masters.
Zhao Kou looked at Shen Changan with a smile, he still maintained a saluting posture, Zhao Kou said with annoyance: "Oh, you look at my brain, patronizing and talking, I actually let Chang'an keep holding it like this, Chang'an quickly flattened." ”
"Your Majesty."
Zhao Kou was stunned, and he said: "Chang'an has a loyal temperament, and now there are not many people like you in the court, not many." ”
Huaiyu shrugged her shoulders, such an obvious accusation, when she couldn't hear it?
Feel free to laugh at yourself, she doesn't care anyway.
Seeing that no one responded, Zhao Kou was stunned for a moment, he glanced at Shen Changan, but the other party had already smiled and beckoned the maid to serve the food again.
"Not much, really." Zhao Yan said, "Today is really rare. ”
Several people were in their respective positions, and Zhao Kou looked at Huaiyu with a smile: "I have heard of Miss Gu's name for a long time, and I don't want to see it today." He paused, and then said, "Why didn't Miss Gu say a word?" ”
Huaiyu sat up straight: "What does the emperor want to hear from me?" ”
This Zhao Kou was stunned for a moment, then picked up the wine glass and sniffed it lightly, "Miss Gu really went straight, and I won't go around the bend." ”
He put down his glass and said, "In the last years of Youqing, the army was in turmoil and the people were struggling to make a living. Since I ascended the throne, I have not dared to say that I have no food or clothing, but I can also talk about being diligent in government and loving the people, and in order to prevent the people from suffering from war, I have no choice but to negotiate peace with the rebel armies everywhere."
When Huaiyu heard this, she slandered again in her heart: this is really a master among masters, and she Gu Huaiyu has never seen such a brazen person.
Zhao Kou didn't realize it, and continued to talk eloquently: "However, the western border is in the hands of Gu girl Gu Jiajun, and the people live and work in peace and contentment under the protection of Gu Jiajun. ”
"How dare Huaiyu?" Huaiyu smiled.
Zhao Kou is really old and spicy, and her words imply that her Gu family army is stationing the frontier for the imperial court, not the rebel army.
He brought down this high hat, and Huaiyu had to take it, and he had to take it if he didn't.
