Chapter 82: The Banquet (Part II)

Before the words fell, Xiao Ye's reprimand suddenly came from outside the gate, everyone raised their eyes, only to see Xiao Ye striding into the door with Liu Fang, Lu Huilin followed closely, wanting to stop it, and called out: "Your Highness!" Your Highness! and allow the official to pass on the word to his father. ”

Xiao Ye didn't look at him, but reprimanded coldly: "It's all in, do you still want this king to go out and wait?" ”

Looking at this posture, it seems that Xiao Ye came uninvited and forcibly broke into the house.

Xiao Ye then said: "I heard early in the morning that Lu Fujun had a birthday and held a banquet in the mansion. ”

Lu Huilin couldn't stop the big Buddha, so he had to follow him in.

Xiao Ye was not good, Lu Ji saw the situation and hurriedly stepped forward to greet him, and all the guests at the table also got up and saluted, but Xiao Ye turned a blind eye and walked straight to Lu Ji, Lu Ji also walked towards him, and shouted with a smile: "I don't know that His Royal Highness the King of Wuling is here, please forgive the official for missing the welcome." ”

"It's okay," Xiao Ye said, raising his eyebrows, slightly contemptuous, he saw that everyone at the table had already gotten up and saluted, but one person sat still, and drank the wine comfortably, and after a closer look, it was Xiao Chen, and this time it was even more angry, Xiao Zhen and the Lu family were also in a confrontational situation, why did Lu Ji invite Xiao Zhen, but did not invite him? Could it be that you look down on him?

"Lu Fujun's pomp is big enough, holding a birthday banquet is so extravagant, but he didn't even send an invitation card to this king, okay, since you don't invite this king, then this king has to come over with a shy face, Lu Fujun, this king is here to beg for a drink, I want to touch your joy, you have no opinion, right?"

Lu Ji looked embarrassed, and hurriedly said, "Your Highness, where is this, please take a seat." ”

As he spoke, he pointed to the guest seat where Xiao Ying was sitting, and called someone to serve wine and food.

Xiao Ye was not in a hurry to sit down, but approached Xiao Zhen and teased: "Yo, the eldest brother is also here." ”

After speaking, he sarcastically ridiculed Lu Ji, "Lu Fujun, you are really a big face, you have a birthday, and even the prince is invited." ”

Xiao Zhen smiled and said nothing, but Lu Ji was quite embarrassed, laughed again and again, and said: "Today, the two highnesses have deigned to this point, and the lower officials are really frightened, and I don't know if it is the blessing that the lower officials have cultivated for several generations. ”

Xiao Ye walked to sit down and said bluntly: "Lu Fujun, you don't have to say these sycophants, just serve some good wine, this king came here today, but it was just to beg for wine." ”

When Lu Ji heard this, he hurriedly called someone to serve the wine and food, Xiao Ye picked up the wine cup, saluted Xiao Zhen, and shouted: "Big brother, today the younger brother borrows flowers to offer Buddha, first give you a cup." ”

Xiao Zhen took a sip, Xie Zheng approached his side, and reminded in his ear: "King Wuling came uninvited, he must have a ghost in his heart, His Royal Highness is careful." ”

"Lone knows."

Xiao Ye sat opposite, and when he saw Xie Zheng and Xiao Zhen whispering, suspecting that the two were talking about him, he interrupted and shouted, "Why is Xie Qishi here too?" ”

Xie Zheng smiled at Xiao Ye and deliberately mentioned the invitation, "Lu Fujun handed the invitation to the county marquis, and the lower officials followed the county marquis over to drink wine." ”

When Xiao Ye heard this, he was naturally even more unhappy in his heart, why did everyone receive the invitation, but he didn't!

If you say that there is discord between the parties, it can be explained, but Lu Ji, an old thing, just invited the prince, which really annoyed him!

The more Xiao Ye thought about it, the more angry he became, so he took a sip of stuffy wine.

After three rounds of wine, five flavors of food, the sun was setting in a blink of an eye, it was getting late, Xiao Zhen toasted in order to deal with the ministers, only drank a little, his mind was still sober, most of the people present were Xiao Ying's henchmen, and the heart of defense was indispensable, he would definitely not let go of eating and drinking.

Xiao Ye on the other side was the same, always secretly pouring out the wine.

Jiang Ji, the left servant of the provincial government, walked to Xiao Zhen's case with a wine cup in his hand, flattered him, and then toasted with his waist, "Xiaguan Jiang Ji, also take this birthday banquet to toast His Royal Highness, and hope that His Highness will appreciate his face." ”

Xiao Zhen was not in a hurry to reply to his words, just glanced at him, and then turned back to give Yin Luo, who was standing behind him, a look, and motioned him to block the wine.

He then said to Jiang Ji: "Okay, Jiang Ji, since you are so hearty, then Gu will have a drink with you," and then pretended to be free and easy, and instructed the maid next to him: "Come, give Gu Man." ”

The maid obediently poured wine for Xiao Zhen, and Yin Luo took the opportunity to say: "Your Highness has drunk a lot of wine today, and he is already a little drunk, so he should not drink again." ”

Jiang Ji was still kneeling on the ground, slightly embarrassed to hear the words.

Xiao Zhen paused and said, "What do you call this, Lone has always been massive, how can you get drunk?" What's more, Jiang Fushu toasted warmly, how could he live up to his good intentions," he pretended to count Yin Luo again.

Yin glanced at Jiang Ji, and then said to Xiao Zhen: "If this is the case, Your Highness may wish to replace the wine with tea and toast him, in this way, it is not rude." ”

"Tea instead of wine?" Xiao Zhen turned his head to look at Jiang Ji and asked, "Jiang Ji, what do you think?" ”

Jiang Ji was already very ashamed, but now he couldn't wait to leave quickly, and when he heard this, he immediately replied: "Your Highness is free, and the lower officials will do it first as respect." ”

After speaking, he drank all the wine in the cup.

Xiao Zhen smiled coldly, poured himself tea, raised his glass to Jiang Ji, and said: "That is the case, then Jiang Ji, Lone will replace wine with tea, eat your cup of toast, and hope that in the future, you will be good to assist Lone's third brother." ”

Jiang Ji was stunned for a moment at first, and then he reacted, Xiao Zhen was mocking him, he took it for himself, and replied with a smile: "Thank you for your highness's teachings." ”

Xiao Ye on the opposite side saw Jiang Ji kneeling for a long time, although he couldn't hear what Xiao Zhen said to him because of the noise, but he could also see that Xiao Zhen didn't give Jiang Ji any good looks, so he shrugged his shoulders and laughed exaggeratedly, Liu Fang also said sarcastically: "I'm afraid this is a disgrace to Jiang Ji." ”

"This Jiang Ji is just from the Shu clan, and he is also trying to climb the dragon and attach the phoenix," Xiao Ye said, seeing Jiang Ji walking towards him with a wine cup in his hand, his heart was much more balanced, so he didn't say anything more.

At this moment, a porter trotted over and said to Lu Huilin: "Lord Lang, the seventh Langjun of the Gu family is here." ”

Gu Jia Shichiro? It's Gu Xun! Xie Zheng vaguely heard what the porter said, secretly happy, and involuntarily sat up straight, sitting upright, but when he thought that she was dressed as a man now, Gu Xun might not be able to recognize her......

Lu Huilin was also overjoyed when he heard that Gu Xun had come here, and he hurriedly returned to the concierge: "Quickly call him in." ”

Without waiting for the porter to pass the word, Gu Xun had already strode over, calling in his mouth: "Uncle Lu Shi!" ”

Gu Xun greeted Lu Huilin, and immediately went to find Lu Ji and saluted him, but Lu Ji squeezed his eyebrows at him, and secretly reminded him that Xiao Xun was behind, Gu Xun saw his eyes, and knew that there was a distinguished guest, he took three steps and made two steps, walked to Xiao Zhen's case and saluted, bowed his head and said: "The lower official doesn't know that His Royal Highness is here, so he is rude, please forgive His Highness." ”

"Zi Geng doesn't have to be polite."

Xiao Xun's tone was cold, and Gu Xun raised his head and met his gaze. At that time, Xiao Xun looked at him and smiled, Gu Xun was faintly uneasy in his heart, he always felt that Xiao Xun seemed to be smiling with ulterior motives.
