Chapter 188: The Emperor's Invitation

This banquet was originally intended to be held for the three princes to go to the border, which can be regarded as practice.

The atmosphere is not as solemn and majestic as the previous state banquets, a little brisker, these ministers have no boundaries?

In front of hundreds of civil and military officials, he stirred up the state banquet, did he still take him as the emperor in his eyes? At the moment, I was really angry.

The emperor's gaze swept over everyone present, the majesty spread, the air pressure at the banquet was low and low, and the ministers did not dare to say anything more.

The third prince's wine was also half sober, where did he dare to think about the palace maid who delivered the food.

One by one, they tried their best to lower their sense of existence, and the banquet seemed to be fixed, and no one dared to act rashly.

The minister who had been punished was lying on his stomach in the center of the banquet, and the punishment was not over.

The whole place echoed with the sound of the pounding and the muffled grunt of the minister. fell on everyone's hearts, and fell silent for a few more minutes.

The emperor played with the wine glass for a while, and looked at it, his sleeve robe moved slightly, and he raised his hand to signal his father-in-law, this person is a clever person, and he often accompanies the emperor around, and one action will make it clear what the emperor means.

The singing and dancing sounded in an instant, and the ministers were all human spirits, and immediately revealed the matter of "being beaten and punished", and the scene picked up.

In modern times, Zhao Qingyan couldn't cope with large-scale social activities, otherwise he wouldn't have learned to cook.

After all, when the chef is cooking, no one has no eyes to come forward and talk.

What's more, he has already dealt with a wave of sycophancy, Zhao Qingyan is really tired of responding, and after sitting hard for a while, his little head began to think, hurry up and go home.

Her eyes drifted to the exit from time to time, and Wen Qiao looked at the cute tight heart and understood that she really couldn't sit still, so she wanted to get up and take Zhao Qingyan back to the house first.

At the banquet, they all sat together one by one, and Huai Enhou naturally did not miss the movements of his son and daughter-in-law, and quickly pulled Wen Qiao to sit down.

Wen Qiao was almost pulled along, his sword eyebrows frowned slightly, he looked at his father suspiciously, and whispered: "Qingyan has never liked these occasions, my son wants to take her back first, and this banquet will end in a while..."

"Since you know it's going to be over soon, let's sit a little longer!" , Wynnehou interrupted the rest of his words.

The banquet has just been going on as usual, and getting up to say goodbye at this time is undoubtedly slapping the royal family's face, confused!

Wen Qiao was noncommittal, sat back in his position, his father spoke, he was not disobedient, although he was puzzled, but he still chose to obey.

Mrs. Cheng was afraid that the father and son would have more dislikes, so she quietly moved to the side of Wen Qiao and his wife, and said: "The emperor has just been angry, and the banquet is going on normally, even if you want to go back, you must wait for the princes to retire first, otherwise it will be the target of the public, and I don't know if the emperor will attack you." ”

Huai Enhou snorted at the right time, Wen Qiao touched his nose, he really didn't think about it much.

Fortunately, at the banquet, no one noticed the movement of this corner of the Wen family.

Zhao Qingyan listened to Mrs. Cheng's explanation, and secretly said that her youngest daughter was really squeamish, and she was always spoiled by Wen Qiao, and she was about to spoil her.

It's just a little longer, and it's not unbearable.

patted Wen Qiao's hand comfortingly, signaling that she didn't have to go, Wen Qiao, she always thought more about herself.

The hot palm covered Zhao Qingyan's warm little hand and rubbed it, and the husband and wife glanced at each other, intertwining a different kind of sweetness.

After thirty years of drinking, some officials who were too drunk to sit unsteadily, their bodies were swaying, staggering, and the little servants struggled to hold on, preventing their masters from falling on the desk.

Seeing this, the emperor shook his head and began to order, let these family members help their masters back, so that they could rest.

The people below got the order, and hurriedly helped their drunken unconscious master out of the banquet.

This banquet, along with the family members, was also invited, and the number of people was huge, and the crowd was surging for a while. Other officials also took the opportunity to get up and say goodbye.

The emperor's heart is unfathomable, and his mood is uncertain, so if he stays a little longer, he will not be embarrassed. It would be beneficial for them to leave early.

Seeing this, Wen Qiao no longer sat still, got up neatly, pulled Zhao Qingyan and prepared to ask the emperor to resign and return home.

Huai Enhou was still talking to the people next to him, and he caught a glimpse of Wen Qiao's movements, thinking that the emperor had already allowed him to leave, and he should not be angry with them, so he didn't stop him.

The banquet has already left, even if the emperor is dissatisfied, he will not say anything against anyone, and there is always some truth in not blaming the public.

Unexpectedly, when the emperor saw that the two of them were resigning, he smiled heartily: "You two haven't drunk a lot of wine, so let's leave the table later, I just have something to discuss with you, just sit down first." ”

The tone was mixed with a bit of toughness, Wen Qiao naturally heard it, narrowed his eyebrows, and wanted to say something, Zhao Qingyan pulled Wen Qiao's hand, understood in his heart, raised his head and responded respectfully,

The man on the dragon chair looked a little old, but his eyes were still very bright, unlike ordinary old people, whose eyes were always cloudy.

When looking at people, it is always inadvertently revealing a bit of sharpness.

The emperor said this lightly, and the people who listened to it did not dare to slack off at all.

Zhao Qingyan is a transparent person, she noticed the different emotions that crossed the emperor's eyes when he spoke, and thought that she had no other intersection except for mistakenly thinking that Wen Qiao was in distress and went to find the emperor.

Now that he has been named and stayed, he is quite puzzled.

The emperor's mood was fleeting, and she only noticed a slight abnormality, and she didn't really see it.

I had to suppress the doubts in my heart.

Wen Qiao also felt inexplicable about the emperor's retention, but he couldn't, and led Zhao Qingyan back to his position.

Since the emperor wants to see them, he must wait until the banquet is completely over, and there is no reason for the emperor to accommodate them.

The couple simply sat firmly in their positions, quietly waiting for the banquet to end.

Huai Enhou watched Wen Qiao and Zhao Qingyan move back, looking at them suspiciously, looking at this posture, but sitting firmly, just now he was so eager to go back to the house, what is the matter now? It's like taking a reassuring pill.

Seeing this scene, Mrs. Cheng asked directly, "How did you come back again?" Haven't you been thinking about going home for a long time? ”

Huai Enhou was still catching up with the man, and he couldn't pull out, and when he heard Mrs. Cheng's question, his ears paid attention to the movement here.

A few questions in a row, Zhao Qingyan listened good-naturedly, Wen Qiao looked indifferent, he had always been indifferent, and he rarely mentioned his emotions to Zhao Qingyan's unexpected things.

Mrs. Cheng has long been surprised and used to it. Zhao Qingyan saw that Mrs. Cheng had stopped asking questions, so she spoke.

Briefly explained the reason, Huai Enhou listened to the eyebrows and sank, the emperor wants to see them?

Huai Enhou was not sure of the emperor's intentions for a while, nothing had happened recently, and the intention of this encounter was not clear, so he decided to wait together.
