"Listen to what you say." The emperor was made to laugh at Ouyang Huaiyu's words, "Since I have said this, then there is no reason for me not to believe you." ”

"The royal brother is aware of everything." Ouyang Huaiyu praised without blushing at all, "Then the matter of the guest list will also be handled by me this time, how about this royal brother?" ”

The guest list is of no use to the emperor at all, and anyway, the people who can attend this banquet, no matter how big or small, will not lose the demeanor of a great country.

After a while, the emperor agreed: "It's not a big deal, just look at it." ”

Ouyang Huaiyu smiled quietly, and he thanked the emperor before leaving.

Ouyang Huaiyu's recent work efficiency has not been low, in just one night, he has preliminarily finalized the guests to attend the banquet, and naturally the Hou Mansion Xia family is indispensable.

When the eunuchs in the palace came to report, Xia Huaiqing happened to be drinking tea with several colleagues in the mansion and talking about national affairs.

Seeing that the eunuch in the palace was about to say such a good thing, Xia Huaiqing unconsciously straightened his chest, always giving people a feeling of superiority.

Several bureaucrats who were present were shocked when they saw that Ouyang Huaiyu could be invited, and the words of congratulations were already on their lips.

"Master Xiahou, you have a bright light this time, the emperor takes a fancy to you so much, and your career in the future will definitely be more open." A flattering man approached and said a few words.

As he started up, several other people also followed suit, and the words they said were better than the other, Xia Huaiqing was praised like that, and his face wrinkled into a flower.

"You're welcome." Although he was excited in his heart, Xia Huaiqing still looked modest on his face, "This is also indispensable for your support." ”

What Xia Huaiqing's conduct was, those colleagues were clear, and they were not stunned by his kind words, but just laughed away.

Xia Huaiqing was proud of the spring breeze for a few days, but after the seat was arranged, his face turned into a pig's liver.

In addition to the envoys, the next seat is first the princes, and then some high-ranking officials.

Xia Huaiqing and Wang Ye's identities are naturally not sideways, according to the usual point of view, he can mix in the second piece, but this time he was stubbornly ranked at the end, and even a few six-grade petty officials pressed on him!

Xia Huaiqing's hand tightened, the green tendons burst out, he looked at the seat chart carefully, but found that he was not mistaken, this is really something that can no longer be true.

That night, it was another bureaucratic gathering of them.

Xia Huaiqing had no reason to refuse, so he could only follow them to drink.

"Yo, Master Xiahou, you can be regarded as here."

The first to speak was the Ministry of Works, his career has been going smoothly recently, and his seat has been arranged quite high, which is not even the tail to the sky.

Xia Huaiqing pursed his mouth, pretending not to see the sarcasm in the eyes of the Ministry of Works, and sat down.

The colleagues who followed Xia Huaiqing basically received invitations, and in this comparison, Xia Huaiqing was not at all powerful.

Everyone is rolling and polishing in the officialdom, even if he faintly looks down on Xia Huaiqing in his heart, he doesn't understand it.

"Master Xiahou, your mansion will be beheaded after the three thousand golden autumns." I don't know which one has no eyes, which pot doesn't open which pot.

Xia Huaiqing was stunned by the man's words, not knowing how to answer such a highly targeted question, he raised his hand and took a sip of tea, and replied with a one-word syllable: "Hmm." ”

Obviously not very interested. Number One

The rest of the people's answer to him was only a smile, and they often liked the plot of the fall of high-ranking officials.

"Xiahou Ye, you are also stubbornly involved this time, otherwise according to your position, how could the emperor arrange a seat for you, isn't this clearly to insult you?" is also a person who is not long-eyed, pretending to be sympathetic on his face, but in fact, he hides a needle in the cotton and a knife in his smile.

"How the emperor decides naturally has his own ideas, and we courtiers have no right to interfere with the emperor's thoughts at all, Lord Liu, what do you say?" Xia Huaiqing's face was pale, but he fought back with ease, "Fortunately, the group here are all acquaintances, and they also know your temperament." If it were someone else, Lord Liu, you would have to worry about your head. ”

Lord Liu was shocked by Xia Huaiqing and was speechless.

His family's ancestral business has always been a businessman, and he is not a scholar, so he can get this five-grade position by relying on money and interpersonal connections.

In case he really said the wrong thing, the emperor's removal of his official position was a matter of holy decree, which was too cost-effective.

Lord Liu gritted his teeth and softened: "Master Xiahou, it was a small mistake just now, and I smiled." ”

Xia Huaiqing glanced at it and immediately softened that it was Lord Liu, and he didn't say anything, just a look was enough to witness that his mood was very bad.

Because of this incident, Xia Huaiqing has hit a wall more than once during this time, and the more he reads it, the more prejudice he has against Xia Zhixue.

Xia Zhiqiu had already heard about going to the banquet, and she was working hard for this matter at the moment.

There is often a saying about fighting dance at banquets, Xia Zhiqiu has no ability, but this dancing kung fu is not bad, so this fighting dance has become her dream.

Xia Zhiqiu practiced an ancient dance, with these heroic spirits in the graceful, it is difficult to learn, but those who can dance these are very good-looking.

Xia Zhiqiu's level is not to the point of dominating the show, but it is more than enough to perform a dance music that has a profound impact.

The maid sat down in a puppet in the courtyard, with a pipa in her hand and a guqin plucked, and the music was ethereal.

Xia Zhiqiu stood in the middle of the courtyard and danced, accompanied by the light purple gauze she was wearing, which was beautiful.

At the end of the song, Xia Zhiqiu gradually stopped.

Seeing Xia Zhiqiu stop, the maid hurriedly walked over, wiping her sweat and delivering tea.

"This girl's dance is so beautiful." The maid looked at Xia Zhiqiu and praised loudly, "It is said that in ancient times, Concubine Pan gave birth to lotus step by step, and the marquis of Qidong was fascinated, and in my opinion, the girl is even better." ”

Xia Zhiqiu just likes to listen to this kind of good words, and the corners of his mouth can't be suppressed when he hears it: "As long as you, a clever girl can speak, I'm afraid that Concubine Pan and I can't compare, but it's much better to be a dancer from the same domain." ”

On the surface, he was very modest, but in the end, he turned around and praised himself in disguise.

The maid has long been accustomed to Xia Zhiqiu's temperament, smiled again and again, and touched Xia Zhiqiu stiffly.

"By the way, if the envoys of the vassal kingdom see me, they should not be able to take their eyes off me." Xia Zhiqiu suddenly asked.

When the maid listened, she immediately responded: "If you can look away, those envoys will have no eyes." ”

Xia Zhiqiu nodded, didn't say yes, didn't say no.

Her purpose in practicing this dance music was far more than just attracting envoys, and more importantly, she was so focused that Ouyang Huaiyu's gaze was so attached to her that she was fascinated.

Xia Zhiqiu said that his appearance was not bad, his knowledge was also profound, and he had many skills, which was many times stronger than Xia Zhixue, who was in prison.
