The sun is sinking, the solemn palace is gradually becoming yin and mysterious, and the exquisite dishes exude an attractive fragrance in the palace hall where the lights are flickering. It's a pity that today's atmosphere is a little different, and even the most delicious meals have lost their appetite in such a mysterious atmosphere.

Yan Zi was the first to arrive at the main hall, not wearing any gorgeous clothes, but plain and light yarn, sitting on the east side. Shi Yansheng waited from the side, looked at the table full of food, and then glanced at Yan Zi in front of him, and stopped talking.

She knew very well who was coming today and understood what the meaning behind this meal was, but it was a pity that she was a subordinate and couldn't say much, so she had to obediently watch Yan Zi play with everyone between her palms as if she was playing tricks.

Not long after, the owner of Ye Zhuang also suddenly arrived. As early as the early morning, Yan Zi had already summoned him, and he wanted to take the opportunity to inform him about the banquet, but unexpectedly, this hateful man really swept Yaxing, and then various topics were taken seriously. Fortunately, Shi Yanshang will only be able to do it again.

"Your Majesty, I've been waiting here so early, it's really disrespectful that I didn't want Your Majesty to wait for a long time." The owner of Ye Zhuang shook the folding fan and looked at Yan Zi with a slanted mouth and flirtatious. Without words, she could understand what evil thoughts this filthy man had in his heart, but in a moment he would know who was laughing and who was crying.

Yan Zi smiled without saying a word, stretched out his jade hand and made a gesture of please, "Master Ye, please." I have invited you to this banquet just to make connections, and nothing important. You don't have to be formal, either. ”

"Your Majesty is polite, Your Majesty is Your Majesty in the end, and the ministers should always be respectful." The mouth of the owner of Ye Zhuang was like all kinds of sweetness like honey, almost a word and a smile, and Yan Zi was extremely disgusted to see it.

Even Shi Yansheng behind him wanted to vomit a little and couldn't stand it.

However, the owner of Ye Zhuang had no shame at all, did not think it was rude, but felt good about himself, and did not wait for the empress to order the meal, and he raised his chopsticks to prepare for the meal first.

As soon as he raised his hand, the chopsticks had not yet poked into the bowl, when he heard a sound outside, and a stone flew directly into the hand of the owner of Ye Zhuang. A sharp pain suddenly came to his heart, and the owner of Ye Zhuang subconsciously threw away his chopsticks and let go.

At this time, the arrogant and cold laughter was approaching, and when I looked up, it turned out to be Sheng Linsheng. Damn, why did he get here? Ye Zhuang touched his red and swollen hand, and subconsciously glanced at Yan Zi angrily.

Yan Zi still smiled and said nothing, and returned a disdainful look.

Sheng Linsheng also responded with the same look: "General Ye is unceremoniously, Your Majesty hasn't ordered to move the chopsticks yet, but you started first." This act alone is enough to punish the crime. ”

You, Ye Zhuang was speechless angrily, touching his hand vigorously, his eyes were full of disdain and anger, and the corners of his mouth were angry because of excitement.

Sheng Linsheng gradually approached, smiled coldly, and then took a seat.

After that, Yan Zi began to raise his hand and ordered the meal, "Okay, since everyone has arrived, let's start eating." Yanshang instructed Shangguan Gongzi to pour wine for the two generals. ”

"Yes, yes" Shi Yanshang hesitated for a while, but he didn't dare to disobey the empress's will, so he had to twist and summon him. Wouldn't it be disgraceful to let a dignified seven-foot man pour wine for them, poor Shangguan Gongzi, I don't know how he felt in his heart.

Shi Yanshang was really a little uneasy, but he had to do it, so he hurriedly went down to summon him.

It didn't take long for Shangguan Jinzhong to come. is still so personable and fluttering, with a smile that leaves no traces at the corners of his mouth, and there is no embarrassment on his face, he is still so calm and calm, which is also a point that Yan Zi appreciates very much, and he can't help but look at it a few times.

"See Her Majesty the Empress." Shangguan Jin came up and saluted.

"Excuse me." Yan Zi replied indifferently, and then handed Shi Yanshang a look. Shi Yanshang immediately brought the wine jug to Shangguan Jinzhong and motioned for him to pour wine.

Shangguan Jinzhong casually glanced at the audience, on the left was Sheng Linsheng, on the right was Ye Zhuang, and then looked at his own existence and showed a pair of backgammon. Shangguan Jinzhong felt funny, a dignified seven-foot man was at the mercy of such a woman, especially since the three of them were so embarrassed, and he felt disgraced.

Sheng Linsheng is also the same angry, he has always thought that he is Yan Zi's senior brother and childhood sweetheart, and she will treat herself specially. But now it seems that eating at the same table with these two men who are not embarrassed or embarrassed seems to be humble, and she has become her plaything in the dark. So some are not happy.

The owner of Ye Zhuang was naturally even more unhappy, thinking that Yan Zi had only invited himself, who knew that there were so many people here, and he couldn't do anything he wanted.

Yan Zi didn't think so, he was very happy to see that everyone had arrived, and his vicious and cold eyes were cold. The corners of his mouth raised a dangerous arc, and his tone became mysterious, "Everyone is here, so let's start the table." Shangguan Gongzi, pour wine for me and the two generals. ”

Shangguan Jinzhong held the wine jug over, and Shi Yanshang spread out the wine glass and chopsticks and then motioned for Shangguan Jinzhong to pour wine.

The fragrant and mellow liquor fell into the wine bottle and melted into the eyes, rippling with different faces, and all the conspiracies were pulled apart little by little in the halo. Yan Zi lifted the wine glass and toasted with the two of them with a wicked smile: "General Ye, General Sheng, you have made great achievements, and winning glory for the country is the blessing of me and the people." Come, I will do it first. ”

Yan Zi took the wine glass very boldly and drank it all, Sheng Linsheng also raised his glass and drank it dry, leaving the owner of Ye Zhuang to hesitate for a while. Because he always felt that there was something in these words. Thinking about it, it wasn't just the two of them who laid down the country that day, and the three heads of the family also made a lot of efforts, why only two people were invited to the banquet in the end, which doesn't seem right.

The more Ye Zhuang thought about it, the more frightened he became, his heart was cold, and he didn't dare to swallow the wine glass for a long time.

Yan Zi was very unhappy when he saw it, and his cold tone was undoubtedly full of a strong aura of suppression, "Hehe, why didn't General Ye raise his glass and drink it all, procrastinating like this, did he not give me face or did he want to resist the decree?" ”

The cold and domineering words were like a spell suppressed, making people breathless, and the owner of Ye Zhuang was stunned and smiled embarrassed and immediately drank it all. Then he also threw the problem to Yan Zi.

"Did Your Majesty leave anything out of what you just said? How can the minister remember that it was not only our two generals who had great achievements that day. Did Your Majesty do it intentionally or unintentionally? ”

Haha, Yan Zi's expression was slightly stunned, and then he showed an elusive smile, and his evil eyes were directly aimed at the owner of Shangye Village. Yes, it's kind of a bit of a brain, otherwise this game of chess would be boring to play by itself.

Yan Zi also asked unceremoniously, "Could it be that General Ye doesn't want to share his merits with them?" But how did I hear that you don't have a good relationship with the three masters? I wondered, if the relationship is so stiff, why should I be willing to be happy with others when I have merit, whether it is true or false? ”

"Haha" In the face of Yan Zi's sharp words, the owner of Ye Zhuang also responded calmly, and replied indifferently, "When there are still quarrels between brothers, not to mention that I heard that the other three heads have a very good relationship, and naturally there are a lot more quarrels." There are only strangers in the world, and there is no noise, Your Majesty thinks it is reasonable for the minister to say this? ”

"In this way, General Ye admits that there has been a disagreement." Yan Zi pressed forward step by step.

Lord Ye Zhuang did not object, but smiled calmly and calmly, "Small quarrels are extremely normal, hasn't Your Majesty and General Sheng had a quarrel?" However, the minister is very strange, why doesn't His Majesty invite all the generals to join him, and whether it is too much to set aside these meritorious ministers! ”

"Then do you think it's too much to teach Your Majesty a lesson as a courtier!" Sheng Linsheng couldn't listen to it, slapped the table and got up, glaring at the owner of Ye Zhuang angrily, this momentum was like a woman whose husband was protecting him. However, Sheng Linsheng must not know that his anger has surpassed the anger that a courtier should have, and even he should not be angry about this matter.

So his extraordinary behavior made Lord Ye Zhuang laugh even more, "Haha, why is General Sheng so angry, didn't he bump into you with his words?" If this is the case, please don't remember the villain's mistakes. ”

"Haha" Yan Zi didn't want to entangle with them on this kind of issue, so he personally poured wine with the two of them, "Okay, okay, what a good day to talk about these hurtful words, the two are generals who have won glory for the country, how can they hurt their feelings because of such a trivial matter." Come, drink, this time I personally poured it for the two of you, you must drink it dry! ”

Yan Zi's strong and domineering tone forced the two of them to bow their heads and serve their wines. This cup had to stop the topic, and the owner of Ye Zhuang was unwilling to reconcile with Sheng Linsheng, but he had to raise a glass and drink it all.

After that, the two returned to their seats and continued to drink, Yan Zi raised his head and glanced at Shangguan Jinzhong. This man is a lot calmer, he should focus on himself, and he doesn't feel bad at all.

Yan Zi didn't look at it anymore, and continued to pull the topic back to "Haha, I'm definitely happy to have you as an expert." If it weren't for you, this great country would not have become my bag. And I didn't break my promise, those who should be rewarded have been rewarded, General Ye, are you satisfied with my reward? ”

When he said these words, his words stammered, and his face was a little red and faintly drunk. It seems that he is drunk, Ye Zhuang took a look at Yan Zi, his eyes were sloppy, and his expression was a little sluggish, he was really drunk, it seemed that this empress was not strong enough to drink, but it was only a few glasses and that's it.

"Satisfied, satisfied. His Majesty did not break his promise, and the ministers respected His Majesty very much. ”

"Okay, okay." Yan Zi bent his willow eyebrows, very satisfied with these words, and then his eyes flashed to Shangguan Jinzhong, and his index finger also pointed at him unceremoniously and asked, "Do you know who Shangguan Gongzi is?" ”

Yan Zi's eyes seemed to be absent, looking back and forth between Shangguan Jinzhong and Ye Zhuang. Lord Ye Zhuang also glanced at Shangguan Jinzhong by the way, and sneered a little: "It's just a male pet invited by His Majesty to the palace." ”

The disdain of the answer turned out to be mockery.

Yan Zi also smiled coldly, "Male pet? But I didn't feel it that way, since I recruited him into the palace, he was included in the harem and became the imperial husband, in folk terms, it was a recruitment. I wonder what General Ye thinks of recruitment? ”
