Chapter 11: Muddy the Waters

With bright eyes, the flowers in the garden were like nothingness, but the eyes of the three princes swept past his brothers, and finally fell on Shen Ke's body.

"It is really an honor for Shen to come to the shelter of the Third Highness!" Shen Ke clenched his fists and bowed again.

"I also practiced at the national teacher, and when I passed by the Shen Mansion, I heard that General Shen's mansion held a banquet today to invite talented people in the capital, and I am also a lively character, so I entered the door, General Shen, you won't blame me for being uninvited!" Ning Chengyou's words were half right and half false, he came from the national teacher, and he also came to the Shen Mansion by the way, but he didn't finish practicing, but when he heard the advice of his henchmen in a hurry when he was halfway through the practice, he didn't even have time to change his clothes, but he was in such a hurry, he was still one step behind his two brothers.

"Where is it, the Third Highness has studied under the national teacher with good martial arts, and he can be so diligent, the emperor knows it, and it will definitely be Longyan Dayue!" Shen Ke couldn't tell if this was a stop or a special rush, but although he was the host today, he was not the protagonist, since he had brought these princes here, he didn't care about anything else.

"My father has an eldest brother and two brothers, and I am also practicing perseverance to strengthen my body! General Shen, your peony full of gardens is really in a unique way! ”

"The third child, we are here to enjoy the peony, I heard the Shen Mansion nursing home say that you are here, our brothers rarely get together on weekdays, I didn't expect that today we are all in General Shen's house, General Shen, your face, but not small!" Ning Cheng has always competed with his younger brother, and now at this time, of course, he can't watch him get the limelight again.

"His Royal Highness has tormented Shen, several His Highnesses have come to appreciate their faces, Shen is honored, honored! You have not come easily, I have ordered someone to prepare wine and food, and we will talk about the world while enjoying the beauty of peonies later! Shen Ke squeezed his eyes at Lu Xiangxue beside him.

Lu Xiangxue lowered her body and said a word of understanding, and then led her maidservant Ying Yingfu to leave.

As soon as Lu Xiangxue left, Du Yiyi, the only woman in this courtyard, suddenly became particularly eye-catching, and Shen Ke, the elder brother, was also happy to introduce the topic to Du Yiyi at this time, and these people also tacitly understood Shen Ke's purpose today, so they all coaxed Du Yiyi alive, and for a while, even Du Yiyi, who had a cold temperament, was blushed and responded to a few words by this back and forth.

The four princes are here, it seems that Shen Ke has really made up his mind to marry herself, no, these are just people who use her as a chess tool, she endured inhuman torture in bed for two months, how can she be willing to be traded and used like this, she finally survived and went down to the ground in good health, this life that was picked up after nine deaths, how could she be corrupted here, today, no matter what, she has to try to make this banquet break up unhappily and end without a problem!

Lu Xiangxue left just a moment, there are family members one after another carrying the redwood wood of the Eight Immortals Table into the garden, some of the family carefully moved away some of the peony that occupies an area, the Eight Immortals Table found a flat place, one by one after the table was laid out smoothly and seamlessly, and a few more family members carried a roll of soft red cloth to shake it off and spread it on the table top of the Eight Immortals Table, and some of the family Ding moved wooden chairs and placed them neatly on both sides. When all the servants retreated, a maid walked in with a tray Yingying, the tray was covered with a big golden Gu lid, and all kinds of delicacies carefully cooked by the chef of the Shen Mansion were placed in it. After the maidservant arranged the various dishes, she covered the lid of the golden Gu to prevent the dishes from cooling.

The maidservant girl entered, the corners of her skirt were like flying, and in a moment, the table was full.

"Come on, come on, take your seats!" While saying this to everyone, he paid attention to Shen Ke, who was setting the table here, and saw Lu Xiangxue pinching a champa and wiping his forehead into the garden gate, and began to beckon everyone to take a seat.

In addition to the golden Gu lid of the same color and size on the table, there are only multicolored glazed wine pots and white porcelain wine cups, and the most frivolous Zhang Jing leaned over and picked up a wine jug and sniffed the spout, shook his head and sighed with a smile: "At least a hundred years of Fenjiu, good wine, good wine." ”

"Speaking of the people who know the most about alcohol, in our group, Zhang Jing claims to be the second, but no one dares to call him the first!" Lu Qingzheng, who had been silent among the crowd, was standing beside Zhang Jing, and he was amused by Zhang Jing's actions, and he finally let go of the burden in his heart, laughing and making fun of Zhang Jing.

The voice fell, everyone laughed, and those with a more cheerful temperament leaned forward and leaned back with laughter.

"Okay, you Lu Qing, you dare to say that Young Master Ben!" Zhang Jing is not a thin-skinned person, he pretended to push Lu Qing with disgust, and said as if he had a tongue on his tongue: "There is a way to solve only Du Kang, wine is a good thing, it can solve the worries of the world, it can solve the bitterness in the heart, speaking of wine, there are more stories in the middle of this great truth, how many celebrities and wise men are love wine and love alcohol, that is, Li Taibai also calls himself a fairy in wine, Du Zimei and others, where to remember his uninhibited talent!" ”

"Huh! Brother Zhang's words are not right, Li Taibai and Du Zimei are both powerful and powerful, and they are also in different genres, where can they be compared! "There are many talented and celebrities among them, Zhang Jingniu's head is not the elevation of the horse's mouth, Li Bai belittles Du Fu, and naturally some people are not convinced!

"That's it!" As soon as this remark came out, there was no shortage of people who echoed it.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Ning Chaoge hurriedly stretched out his hand: "Li Taibai, Du Zimei, and Lotte have all passed away, talented and merry people, still look at the present dynasty, and look at the present dynasty!" ”

"Your Royal Highness's words are reasonable, Your Majesty Guangyuan's rule of the world is peaceful, compared to the Tang Dynasty, Dahe has more than that, His Royal Highness has both talent and virtue and five cars, which can be said to be the central backbone of our young generation!"

Everyone listened to the sound, and couldn't help but blink their eyelids and be frightened, the person who said it was Guo Ming in the ministry of officials, this person was the first in the imperial examination last year, and the palace examination was a high school second-class jinshi, and the celebrities all knew it, although it was only from the seventh grade, but the power was very great, and the work that the emperor handed over to each yamen was written off every five days by the six sections, and if there was a detachment or ineffective work, the six departments could report to the emperor. The six departments can also participate in the selection of officials, the emperor's pre-imperial meeting, and the trial of guilty officials. The most important thing is that the six departments have the right to seal and return the emperor's edict, and if the emperor's will is deemed inappropriate, it can be sealed and not implemented. Although it is only from the seventh grade, no one has ever dared to look down on Guo Ming, who doesn't know that the previous official has only been in this position for two years, and he has been promoted to the left waiter of the third grade? Of course, the reason why everyone's eyelids blinked at this time was not Guo Ming's flowery future, but because of the person behind him!

Of course, the person behind this does not refer to the smiling James Mansion Cheng Yunmian standing behind him now, but to the person behind him who relies on his future, the people in the garden are all noble and prominent people in the capital, and naturally understand what to do if they want to gain a foothold in the court and want to rise to the top, although the emperor is in the prime of life, but the princes are also adults, and forming gangs is naturally a natural thing, and this official is in the affairs of these princes, but he entrusted his future to Ning Chaoge! But there are also people here, and there is no shortage of the parties of the eldest prince and the third prince, at this time, Guo Ming touted Ning Chaoge so much, and the others were naturally dissatisfied and unwilling to let their Maven lose the limelight.

"Second Highness Wen Wuluo, this first person is well-deserved!" Ning Chaoge's faction is all smiling.

"If you talk about Wen Taowuluo, today, apart from the saint, who else should be the first?"

However, when everyone looked at each other and praised each other, a voice that was neither lukewarm nor salty sounded.

Hearing the sound, Guo Ming and the other Ning Chaoge faction all trembled slightly, their faces stiffened, their hearts tightened, and their bodies were cold, and Ning Chaoge, who was still smiling and silent, was also cold behind him when he heard this voice!

Wen Taowuluo, today, of course, is the emperor's first! He was praised as the first person by some courtiers and nobles here, if it was passed on to the ears of the emperor, wouldn't it make the emperor unhappy? Thinking of this, how could he not be cold! Today, it was he who was wrong again and again!

And being reminded by this voice, the people who were still thinking about countermeasures suddenly opened their huts, looking at Guo Ming and the others who were sweating hotly, and laughed, Ning Cheng and Ning Chengyou's face was meaningful, and Ning Zhiyuan also put on a posture of watching the excitement!

Everyone didn't have time to take care of the owner of the voice, but Shen Ke couldn't ignore it, just Du Yiyi opened his mouth, he felt bad, who knew that she said such a thing, Du Yiyi's words, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages, although it may annoy Ning Chaoge, but it solved a problem for him, and resolved a unwarranted disaster for Ning Chaoge! The emperor, who was in the prime of life, would not be happy to see his son in the garden of his most important courtiers as the first person in Wen Taowuluo!

Therefore, Shen Ke just made an inexorable look with Du Yiyi, signaling her to restrain her edge and not speak again, and Lu Xiangxue looked at the eyes of everyone and Shen Ke, and her heart sank, and she walked to Du Yiyi's side and whispered a few words to her!

Du Yiyi thought that she was telling the truth, and didn't pay attention to Lu Xiangxue's words, she had already learned about the contest between the four princes, and now the contest between the four has implicated her life, she said a word, it was for Shen Ke's good, but also for Ning Chaoge's good, and also for her own good.

She can't say half of the words, she said it, the folds on Ning Chaoge's face were squeezed out by her, and she had to smooth them out, which was also for her for Ning Chaoge's sake and for Shen Ke's good.
