Chapter 156: The Banquet
"What are you going to say to the emperor about the prince?" She knew that Gu Yanbai had sorted out everything before he was confined, and he also wrote a pleading, but because of the reason for being confined, he was sent to Dali Temple with his master until now, and he could only supervise the trial and return the prince's innocence.
"But this matter is related to Liu Shangshu, Xiao Dezi's matter has been suppressed, I'm afraid this matter..."Mingyuexi was silent and didn't say any more.
Gu Yanbai is also worried about this, but since he has already handed over the Dali Temple, the matter will be handled according to the process. As for Liu Shangshu, the emperor has his own plans, and there is no need for him, a courtier, to investigate thoroughly to the end, and he stroked the scales.
The matter finally came to an end, Gu Yanbai regained the emperor's trust, the crown prince also cleared his grievances, and everything seemed to return to calm.
A few days later, the prince held a banquet in the palace and sent an invitation to invite Gu Yanbai and others into the palace to thank them for their many days of travel.
"Childe, these days, Miss Ming has bothered a lot for your business." Cheng Yu was called over by Gu Yanbai early in the morning, and was carefully interrogated by the boy for nearly half an hour.
During the period when Gongzi was imprisoned, he didn't dare to slack off for half a minute, and lurked around Mingyue Creek.
"She... I have a heart. Gu Yanbai glanced at Diecui who walked in from outside the door, and waved his hand to let Cheng Yu go down first.
Diecui carried a food box, walked up to Gu Yanbai and said to him, "This is the dim sum that Miss bought from Hongyue Building, let me give it to my son." ”
Gu Yanbai took the food
The box was placed on the table in front of him, and he looked at Diecui, who wanted to speak and stopped: "If you have anything to say, just say it." ”
Diecui nodded, and then said to Gu Yanbai with some embarrassment: "Miss is unwell and wants to take leave with you, so she won't go to the dinner." ”
Gu Yanbai frowned when he heard this: "How can you get sick?" ”
Diecui said with some worry: "I don't know, Miss said that she had a headache and brain fever when she got up in the morning." That's why I want to repay you. ”
After speaking, Diecui was about to turn around, but Gu Yanbai called out to him.
"Lead the way, and I'll go with you to see him."
Diecui was a little flustered, which was different from what Miss explained.
Miss asked him to find a reason to refuse this banquet, but he didn't expect Gu Yanbai to be so unconventional.
Diecui had no choice but to hurriedly say, "Miss is holding Yu at the moment and stepping on the son, I'm afraid it will be inconvenient." ”
Gu Yanbai stopped, feeling that what Diecui said was very reasonable.
If he recklessly stepped into her boudoir, he would not only lose his manners, but also damage Mingyuexi's reputation.
"In this case, then I will take leave from the prince, find Lang Zhong, and let your young lady rest at home."
Di Cui nodded hurriedly and exhaled secretly.
Fortunately, the young lady told her something
B, I thought about it in a hurry.
After the carriage was ready, Gu Yanbai took Cheng Yu out of the Hou Mansion.
Mingyuexi opened the door and looked around, and when she saw Gu Yanbai walking away, she immediately summoned Zhu Bajie out.
Zhu Bajie didn't stand firm because of her call, and staggered and almost fell and squatted.
"Why are you so flustered?" Zhu Bajie glanced at Mingyuexi and touched his head.
Mingyuexi took out the jade pendant that the eldest princess was carrying and put it on the stone table in front of her.
Only then did Zhu Bajie remember what Mingyuexi had told him before leaving.
"Is there anything about the eldest princess?" Mingyuexi looked straight at Zhu Bajie.
As a condition for releasing Gu Yanbai, she once revealed to the emperor that the eldest princess was still alive, and the emperor ordered her to bring the eldest princess back within a month.
It's been a few days now, and she's going to have to get help.
Zhu Bajie patted his chest, confident.
"The eldest princess is now in a family in Changyuan."
Mingyuexi nodded, and then said with some questions that you can't use spells without permission, how do you know where the princess is? ”
Zhu Bajie looked arrogant, although he made a little mistake and was detained in the world, this spell can still be used.
"I'm not afraid of heaven." Zhu Bajie glanced at Mingyue Creek.
Suddenly, the sky was clear and the sky was suddenly covered with dark clouds and strong winds.
Gu Yanbai, who walked to the door of the house, saw that the sky was suddenly not good, and looked up at the sky.
At this time, the winter eunuch beside the prince came over to deliver a message and called out to him: "Son, slow down." ”
"What?"
Eunuch Winter walked up to Gu Yanbai and passed the word for the prince.
Originally, he was going to set up a banquet in the palace, but the prince always felt that something was wrong, so he arranged it in Hongyue Tower.
Gu Yanbai thought about it, turned around and went back to the door.
At this moment, a dark blue lightning bolt pierced the sky and headed straight for the inner courtyard.
Zhu Bajie saw that he had said the wrong thing and offended the people in the sky, so he immediately shrank back, and the lightning struck the stone bench, and in an instant, the stone bench shattered into powder and annihilated.
In fact, he didn't use spells, but asked Yue Lao for two red threads, one tied to his body, and the other tied to the eldest princess's legs, so that he knew her whereabouts.
But today, for some reason, he suddenly couldn't sense the eldest princess, so just before Mingyuexi summoned him, he came to tell him.
"If you say the wrong thing, you'll be struck by lightning!" Mingyuexi laughed while gnawing on the pig's trotters that Diecui had marinated herself
Zhu Bajie didn't realize that there was a black shadow standing behind him.
"I look at your full of energy, don't you look sick?" Gu Yanbai looked at Mingyuexi who was gnawing on the pig's trotters and crossing Erlang's legs with a deep face, and he didn't look like a lady at all.
It seems that Mingyuexi tricked him in order not to go to the banquet.
Fortunately, he was not at ease, and when he looked back, he realized Mingyuexi's little trick.
"Heh... Hehe..."Ming Yuexi coughed a few times in embarrassment, and then turned her head stiffly to look at Gu Yanbai.
She squeezed her eyes at Diecui beside her, and Diecui pretended not to see it, and twisted her head deliberately to the side.
Zhu Bajie felt the delicate atmosphere and felt that it was not appropriate for him to stay any longer, so he made an excuse and ran out.
Seeing Zhu Bajie running out, Diecui glanced at the little marquis with a bad face, gritted his teeth and went out.
Mingyuexi saw that the two of them left themselves alone, and there were three more black lines on their foreheads.
She slowly moved her body towards the door, but she was pressed by Gu Yanbai on the stone bench and sat down, unable to move.
"Don't move." His voice was slightly forceful, and he stopped Mingyuexi, and then took out a step shake from his arms and pinned it to her bun.
"What did you give me a hairpin?" Touching the slight prickly hand on his head, he asked with some doubts.
"Participating in the palace banquet, this is my brother dressed as plain as you, I'm afraid I will lose royal face."
Mingyuexi muttered quietly, she didn't like to be dull, and she didn't plan to go to this tedious banquet at all.
What's more, she is not a royal person, and this face is not something she can lose anyway.
Gu Yanbai was a little angry when he saw her indifferent look, he was used to pampering her too much on weekdays.
"Let's go." He pulled up Mingyuexi and took her to the banquet without saying anything.
