Two days later, Ling Zixu held a banquet in the palace, and the guests of the banquet were all invited to the princes and nobles in the capital, among which the two most heavyweight figures were the two brothers of Lu Wang Sijue and Qi Wang Sicheng.

Of course, there is also Zhu Xingchen leading a group of his righteous brothers, and the children of those old ministers, and Ling Zixu is also a friendship in the world.

The palace was full of friends, and the banquet hall was crowded.

The servants and maids flowed endlessly, and the flowing water feast ate all morning, but the banquet hall was divided into four places.

Zhu Xingchen had already blocked a lot of wine for Ling Zixu, and at this time, he was already drunk into a pile of mud, and Ling Zixu asked people to carry him to the back hall to rest.

Zhonglang, the son of the old general Lu Chuan, brought Lu Xiuyuan to Ling Zixu.

"Lord Wang, one has already fallen, who will be next?"

Ling Zixu glanced at him: "Who else besides you?" ”

Lu Xiuyuan smiled: "That's good, Xu Thirteen will answer later!" ”

As he spoke, he grabbed a twenty-year-old young man beside him.

Xu Thirteen's name is Xu Wei, he is the son of Xu Tong, the secretary of the ministry, Xu Tong has many wives and concubines, and he has abundant children, Xu Wei is thirteenth in the family, and everyone calls him Xu Thirteen.

Xu Shisan, don't look young, but he is a very slippery head, so he smiled and said: "Brother Lu just hold it for the prince, you are famous for a large number of cups, and you are not drunk in a thousand cups, I am optimistic about you!" ”

Lu Xiuyuan was on the first floor of his neck: "Okay, thirteenth brother, you can watch and cheer next to your brother." ”

Xu 13 clapped his hands: "Okay!" Okay! ”

Lu Xiuyuan raised his leg and kicked him on the ass: "It's just going to be lively, right?" ”

Xu Shisan broke free from his restraints, hurriedly dodged, dodged, and dodged farther and farther, and disappeared into the crowd and could not be found.

Lu Xiuyuan stumbled and said: "This splash, you dare to run, you wait for ......"

was about to go to the chase, but was dragged by Ling Zixu: "It's your turn!" ”

There were already a few people from other banquet halls who came over to toast Ling Zixu.

"Lord, return triumphantly, seal the king, double happiness, congratulations!"

Ling Zixu pulled Lu Xiuyuan in front of him.

Lu Xiuyuan smiled: "Brothers, I drank it for the prince!" ”

As he spoke, he took the glass and drank it down.

At this time, Wei Feng trotted all the way over, attached to Ling Zixu's ear and said, "The two princes have already entered the door!" ”

Ling Zixu hurriedly pulled Lu Xiuyuan: "You are greeting here!" Then he looked at the other guests, "Everyone drink first, and there will be singing and dancing for a while!" ”

After the arrangement was completed, he followed Wei Feng to the front yard.

"Is the banquet for the East Cross Courtyard ready?" Ling Zixu asked as he walked.

Wei Feng hurriedly replied: "According to your orders, everything is ready!" ”

"Good!"

Ling Zixu walked and tidied up his clothes.

Today is an important day, his dress is obviously much more gorgeous than usual, wearing a purple gold crown, wearing a dark purple brocade robe with gold embroidered silver moire, and a purple jade chain belt around his waist, hanging a crystal warm purple jade, showing his noble temperament.

Sword eyebrows and starry eyes, cold eyes, sharp with a hint of fortitude, high nose and thin lips, that edges, that arc, beautiful shape, knife cheeks, upturned chin, delicate facial features, natural aura is powerful.

Ling Zixu walked out of the west courtyard quickly, went down the steps, crossed the middle courtyard, went up the steps, and when he came to the front yard, he happened to meet the two people who had just entered the door, followed by a group of entourage.

One of them, wearing a moon-white brocade robe, a jade belt around the waist, holding an ivory bone fan in his hand, walking in a figure-eight step, and a leisurely posture of Youzai is Lu Wang Sijue.

The other one, wearing a dark brocade robe, with a solemn expression and a majestic face, was King Sicheng of Qi.

Ling Zixu stepped forward and was about to kneel down to pay homage, but was supported by Si Cheng: "King Pingnan has seen the outside, you are now crowned king, you don't need to make this big gift." ”

Si Jue smiled on the side: "Brother Ling is much more humble than before, and it is also rare, don't be polite with us, I'm not just here to drink today, it's important to get down to business, hurry up!" ”

Si Cheng looked at Si Jue in surprise: "The fourth brother is not here to drink?" ”

Si Jue nodded: "Brother Erwang doesn't know anything, ......, you'll know in a while." ”

Ling Zixu smiled: "The two princes are invited to the VIP hall in the east, what the prince wants, I am ready, please ......." ”

Si Chenghu looked at the two suspiciously: "Okay, this king wants to see what the hell you two are messing with." ”

Ling Zixu personally led and let the two of them go to the East Cross Courtyard.

The warm sun is shining in spring, there is no wind, and it is a charming and good weather in spring.

The banquet was placed in the courtyard, according to the rockery, spread out the red felt carpet, the grass was green, the spring flowers, the peach blossoms were gorgeous, not a spring scenery.

Si Cheng was older and sat in the middle, with Ling Zixu and Si Jue accompanying each other.

Wine, vegetables, melons and fruits, snacks and appetizers, soon all came together, silk and bamboo musical instruments sounded, and eight slender dancing girls came in a hurry.

Ling Zixu raised his glass: "The two princes are coming, Peng is shining, take this opportunity, Zixu wants to thank the two princes for their friendship in cultivation, and do it first!" ”

As he spoke, he raised his glass and drank it all.

Si Jue smiled, covered his mouth and whispered to Si Cheng: "The so-called cultivation is in Goolan Courtyard!" ”

Si Cheng shook his head and smiled, and picked up his wine glass: "King Pingnan is polite, life must be happy, you are proud now, and you are the pillar of the country, congratulations, drink this cup!" ”

Si Jue also took the wine glass and drank, put down the wine glass, and squinted at the dancing girl: "Brother, what are you doing dangling these vulgar powders here, that ...... Where's the princess, where did you promise me? ”

"Don't worry, prince!" Ling Zixu put down his wine glass and motioned to Wei Feng behind him.

Wei Feng hurriedly came over: "What does the prince command?" ”

"Are you ready, ready to carry it over!"

"Yes!"

Wei Feng quickly left and walked out of the courtyard.

Ling Zixu waved his hand, the sound of silk and bamboo stopped abruptly, the dancer stopped, and the group slowly retreated.

After a while, Wei Feng entered the courtyard, followed by four strong men, carrying a square thing that looked like a big box, covered with a dark flannel cloth, and covered tightly.

Wei Feng commanded, and the four strong men put the big box in the center of the courtyard, and then the two of them retreated, and when they left, they closed the courtyard door with a "bang", and the other two stood at the door.

Si Jue looked left and right, his eyes fell on Ling Zixu, and asked, "Is this ......?"

"What the prince wants, it's here, come, let's go down together and take a closer look!" Ling Zixu smiled, very polite and polite.

Si Jue motioned to Si Cheng to join him, and Si Cheng shook his head: "You guys go, I'll just take a look at the excitement here." ”

Si Jue smiled, took Ling Zixu, and walked off the banquet table.

At this time, there were not many people in the East Cross Courtyard, except for the three princes, and the prince's personal guards, which were the two big men at the door, and the door was closed, isolating the boiling outside.
