Chapter 61: The Banquet
It's good to eat a trench and grow wise!
Now that it's all out of the way, it's finally time to go!!
Xiao Man got up and tidied up the group pendulum, opened the door as soon as he could, and followed the little maid with Shan'er straight towards the banquet hall......
"I've seen King Jing!"
In the banquet hall of King Jing's Mansion, the son of General Zheng who was bumped into by Xiao Man last time he raped and killed people was respectfully saluting King Jing at this time, and today Jing Chen will let himself come to such a grand banquet, which really surprised him, he always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't say it, he usually did a lot of immoral things, and he couldn't remember which one was which.
But as the saying goes, there must be demons when things are abnormal, so this little Zheng Gongzi also looked at Jingchen with some vigilance, and was about to talk to him, when he heard a little girl in his ear:
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has arrived! ~~~~~”
"Brother Huang is here too?"
Although Jing Ran, the sixth prince of peach blossom eyes, is usually out of tune, his heart is towards his fifth brother, but the world knows that now the fifth brother is the prince's rival to the throne, how could he come here today? Is it because we are afraid that we will form a party for personal gain?
Before Jing Ran could figure it out, a man in a green shirt walked in slowly, walked straight to the center of the hall, looked around, and said with a smile, "Today's fifth brother's family banquet, I also came over to join in the fun, but I didn't expect everyone to be there." ”
"See His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." Everyone knelt on the ground in unison and saluted His Royal Highness the Prince.
"Please, today are all my own brothers, there are no monarchs and ministers, only brothers!" The man in the green shirt is Jing Chen, the current prince, the real master of ten thousand people under one person.
"Today, the prince has taken the liberty to visit, and I hope that the fifth brother will not be surprised." The prince said half-truthfully and half-truthfully to Jingchen.
"Brother Huang is really too polite, Brother Huang, please take a seat, you can come to the Humble House, it really makes the Humble House shine!" A fine light flashed in Jing Chen's eyes, and he followed the prince's routine and continued to pat his ass.
So the two went back and forth, and the sycophant dog hair was wiped from the end to the end.
This sycophant, it's easy to shoot on the horse's hooves when patted, not to mention two evenly matched opponents.
Before he could say a few words, Prince Jingchen began to look for something to make Jingchen embarrassed. I saw Prince Jingchen say to a woman in pink clothes beside Jingchen: "This is a younger brother and sister? It looks demure and dignified, not like a ......"
"This ...... The concubine was frightened, and Qin Shuxian in the side room had seen His Royal Highness the Prince~" The woman in front of her was obviously a smart one, and she knelt on the ground and explained cautiously without waiting for the prince Jingchen to finish speaking. The so-called etiquette is not strange, but such a big gift makes it difficult for the prince to continue.
Seeing the beauty who reacted like this, she couldn't help but let the prince look at her more, and then looked around and pretended to find someone:
"Then why don't you have a brother or sister to attend today's banquet?" The prince is not good to embarrass the woman just now, and he is a little interested.
"The fifth sister-in-law will be here soon, but how can the royal brother be so interested in the fifth sister-in-law today?"
The fourth prince Jingluo is always the one with the fastest mouth, and he took so long to answer, he is already very worthy of his personality! However, the prince suddenly asked about the so-called princess of the fifth brother, which surprised him even more.
"I heard that in order to love his princess, the fifth brother knew that she was having an affair with someone else, although she was imprisoned, but she still couldn't bear it, and she personally took him out, I was just curious about what kind of strange woman could hook the soul of the imperial brother!" Prince Jingchen said jokingly.
"This prince doesn't know anything, my prince has always been fair, and found out that someone wronged the princess, so he released the person to set the record straight."
The prince's words at this moment made Yun Xuan very uncomfortable, and he also understood that the person who was afraid last time was the prince's meticulous work, and he didn't know what he wanted to do today, revenge or continue to stuff people?
For a while, the atmosphere in the hall became a little weird because of the two people talking like swords, and the scene was basically divided into three factions, the pro-King Jing faction, the pro-prince faction, and the wait-and-see faction. At this time, because of Yun Xuan's words, everyone didn't speak again, and the atmosphere was quiet and mysterious, but it happened that at this time, a person came in from the door!
Wearing the enchanting red clothes, the breeze blows, the skirt flies, as if the blood-red butterflies fall in the snow, and the long hair like ink flies in the wind, how can it be described as amazing!
When I got closer, I found that this woman's makeup was like a fairy, and her eyes were shining, even if you didn't need to draw too many eyebrows, it could make people's eyes shine.
Who else could it be that the protagonist they kept talking about?
Xiaowu didn't report it, but Xiaoman still came in directly with Shan'er, but he never thought it would be like this.
Xiao Man looked around at the people around him with some embarrassment, as if he was a little late and became the focus of the audience. It is said that the gun shoots the first bird, I don't know if it will be targeted by someone with a heart today, if the audience can speak, then the audience will definitely tell Xiaoman at this moment, you were targeted before you came, they were talking about you just now, hehe, it's a pity that the audience can't speak, so Xiaoman doesn't know that she has already become the target of everyone's attack. He only knew that the maid didn't inform him of the time to come yesterday, so Xiaoman directly asked Shan'er to ask what time the little girl who was preparing to start, and then took it for granted that he came with his watch. It's so embarrassing that it's too late, and the hall is staring at itself.
"See the prince!" The vines fell and saluted generously. Only at first he looked around, and then he walked straight towards Jingchen with a smile on his face. Among those present, except for those concubines who knew Yun Qi, Xiao Man didn't seem to know anyone else, and it was better to talk less than to say the wrong thing, so Xiao Man directly greeted his prince first.
In fact, the moment Xiaoman entered the door, everyone was amazed by her, they hadn't seen her for nearly two months, they didn't expect this Xiaoman to change so much. Today, he is dressed in red and wears plum blossom hair accessories, if it is said that it used to be everyone's girlfriend, now it is more beautiful like a mountain elf.
Even Jing Chen's heart was pounding, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise, and he looked at Xiao Man and said thoughtfully:
"You're early! Jing Chen still spoke coldly, without the slightest intention of letting Xiao Man get up and speak.
"It seems that this fairy is a younger brother and sister, and she is really beautiful, so get up and take a seat!" The crown prince, who was still glaring at him just now, suddenly smiled like a spring breeze and said.
Xiao Man looked at the smile on his face like a spring breeze, and felt that he should not have bad intentions. He didn't get up, but glanced at Jingchen.
"I don't thank His Royal Highness the Crown Prince yet." Jingchen was overjoyed by Xiaoman's look, but he still said coldly with a cold face, awkward child.
"The concubine has thanked His Royal Highness the Prince!" Since the steps have been given, there is no reason to do it, and it has already given Jingchen a lot of face just now. Usually I just get up.
Xiaoman stood up and looked around, and found that there was only one place left at the end, so he saluted everyone and walked directly towards the end of the place. Such an indifferent performance made everyone in the hall stunned......
Xiao Man originally felt that it was ill-intentioned for Jingchen to let him come to this Hongmen banquet today, if he was close, he might not be able to toss me, it was better to stay away, no one would pay attention to me, and he would be more comfortable.
Of course, it was Zi Jin who sat next to King Jing, and she had prepared a lot of rhetoric to make the so-called princess in front of her lose face, and then went to the stolen seat at the end of the seat, but she didn't expect to go directly to the last concubine seat......
Are you scared of yourself? Zi Jin is still a little complacent.
But I don't know that everyone's hearts have already leaned towards Xiaoman, the men are amazed by his appearance, and the women are most likely distressed by his experience; In everyone's hearts, Xiaoman really never thought that the current Xiaoman just wanted to spend this long banquet peacefully!
As long as there is a seat, it doesn't matter where she sits, she doesn't have much interest in this ancient song and dance, and this may be a Hongmen banquet.
Wine and delicacies were served one after another, the sound of silk and bamboo started, and the dancing girl also began to dance, and the family banquet in King Jing's Mansion kicked off.
"Fifth brother, it's an honor to be able to come to your mansion to drink today, I'll give you a glass first." The prince took the lead in raising his glass.
"Where, where, the prince can come, and my house is also full of flowers." Jing Chen politely and distantly replied.
"Fifth brother, it's good today, and the fourth brother is also happy for you." After that, the fourth prince Jingluo also raised his glass towards Jingchen.
Jingchen directly picked up the wine glass and drank it all.
In this way, the crowd toasted each other one after another.
……
Xiao Man was infected by this boring atmosphere and only rolled his eyes, fortunately he was in the last row, as long as he was responsible for eating, he was bored and glanced at the dancers on the dance floor, most of them danced the kind of dance that was always soft and boneless, which was better than the king of the daughter country in Journey to the West to seduce Tang Seng. Xiaoman felt that this kind of dance could directly make Xiaoman lose a layer of goosebumps.
Therefore, Xiaoman directly put all his experience on eating. For all kinds of compliments from everyone with guns and sticks, Xiaoman really feels that the sentence is born from the same root, why is it too anxious to fry each other? Maybe Xiaoman himself still regards himself as an outsider, and he doesn't have much experience of the various grievances among them.
The one sitting side by side in the C position is his own prince Jingchen and Zi Jin, and the other is His Royal Highness the prince Jingchen who has just relieved himself, and then the four princes Jingluo, the six princes Jingran, and Yun Qi are on both sides in turn, most of the men and women in this banquet Xiaoman really don't know each other, but they must all be relatives of the emperor, or friends of the emperor's relatives, and there are more than 20 people in total. It's just that sitting in the lower row of Jingluo, there is a son in a gorgeous costume who looks quite familiar, as if he is the son of a general, a relative of the emperor, but he feels familiar, as if he has seen it somewhere. But I can't remember it for a while......
After several rounds of singing and dancing, the banquet reached a climax, everyone pushed the cup and changed the lamp, and the drunk people on their faces also hung up on the plateau red, and if they didn't have their faces, there were also more, and there were also those who drank too much and went to the back to vomit and then drink. At this time, Xiaoman has almost eaten, and the summer sun is just right, and the person who shines is easy to get sleepy, and the long silk bamboo sound in his ears immediately turned into a lullaby, and then Xiaoman fell asleep with his chin in his hand.
As everyone knows, at the same time, a concubine in the house walked out of the banquet, waving her sleeves and dancing~~ At this time, she twisted her slender waist hard, scratched her head, her skirt was flying, and she didn't forget to throw a wink at Jingchen from time to time, Xiaoman just closed her eyes at this time and didn't see it, if she saw it, it was estimated that she could spit out the overnight meal, you can imagine how sassy the woman danced!
Compared with Xiaoman from modern times, their dances are similar to the hens in the chicken yard, dancing the lyrics: Come on, be happy, there is a lot of time anyway; Come, love, there is a lot of foolishness anyway; Come on, wandering, there are a lot of directions anyway; Come on, pretentious, there's a lot of scenery anyway......
