The welcome banquet held in the High Court was a grand event, attended by the Tyrells' descendants, collaterals, retainers, and lords and nobles who had arrived nearby.

During the banquet, singers and rigolettos take turns to perform, and the steps are similar to those at the Red Fort dinner.

But unlike the banquet at the Red Fort, there are not so many people here, and the participants are full of etiquette and education, and the overall environment and atmosphere are elegant and quiet, soothing and relaxing.

As the protagonist of the banquet, the people around him will always look at him, and Lan Li feels a little uncomfortable about this, but he has seen many winds and waves, and even the king has killed two, he can still deal with this normally, and his every move does not have the slightest panic, but rather a great aristocratic demeanor that does not belong to his age, which makes many eyes that are either overt or covert surprised.

However, this kind of surprise basically did not exceed normal emotions, and the disguise that began as a baby made Lan Li very good at controlling her performance, and would not arouse excessive suspicion from the people around her.

There are many participants at the banquet, but there are only a few worth paying attention to.

The heir to this castle is Vilas. Tyrell was a gentle and intelligent teenager who came from the old town of Hightower's family to a beautiful and dignified mother.

And his younger brother Garland. Tyrelll, on the other hand, has the playfulness and excitement of a child, as well as a good-natured innocence.

In addition, the Tyrells are descended from the two little babies, Loras and Margaery, but they are too young to pay attention to.

Of course, Lan Li did not ignore one of the most respected members of the Tyrell family, the mother of the Duke of Metz, the widow of the former old duke, and his future "adoptive mother", Olena. Redwing.

It was a thin and short little old lady in a green robe, sitting upright in the first place, and her every move seemed very neat, but in the light of the candlelight of the dining table, her scarce teeth when she spoke were very obvious.

"Your grandfather was a good man, and he married a Targaryen."

When Lan Li stepped forward to greet her, she said in this greeting: "As far as the truth is concerned, they still want me to marry a Targaryen, how many years ago?" I don't remember very clearly, it's nothing to worry about, in short, kid, have a good time playing in Gaoting. ”

Obviously, she didn't plan to say anything more to her adopted son, and Lan Li didn't linger any longer after greeting her with interest, so he didn't hear the conversation that happened here next.

"Do you understand?" Watching the dark-haired boy blend into the ranks of her grandson and playmates in the hall, the thin old lady looked sideways at her son standing behind her.

"What do you mean by Mother?" The tall Duke of Metz was stunned when he heard this.

"I mean, I'm the same age as his grandfather, you idiot!"

The old lady said bitterly: "What do you think that a five or six-year-old child would be my adopted son?" Without my knowledge, calling yourself an extra brother younger than your son? ”

"This—" The Duke wanted to say that he was about the same age as Robert, and that what could Robert's brother be if he wasn't his adoptive brother? But he knew how difficult his mother was, so he simply didn't say anything.

It's a pity that the other party has no intention of letting him go.

"I wonder what your dead demented father will think when he finds out about this." The old man rubbed his cheeks and said that the previous words seemed to involve her few rotten teeth left, and even her expression became more and more dissatisfied.

"It's not a big deal, mother......" Duke Metz replied cautiously, sensing that something was wrong.

"It's really nothing." The old man's heartfelt answer stunned the Duke, but the next sentence made him feel the pressure again.

"Where's Jena? She's just a stupid and fat little hen, and you still want her to be the queen of the Seven Kingdoms? ”

"I thought maybe I could do that...... Maybe it can restore our family's previous decline. You know, Mother, if we-"

"How could that deer let the lion that embraced him come and get close to our thorny roses? Do you think he's an idiot like you? The old man unceremoniously interrupted his son.

"I'm not an idiot, Mother, I almost made it, if not-"

"Not an idiot, so what are you?"

"I am your son, mother!"

The Duke replied dissatisfiedly, accentuating the word son.

"That's what I hate the most."

The old man replied with a toothache, "Because it makes me wonder if I accidentally broke my stomach when I was drunk?" Otherwise, how could you give birth to a demented son like you? ”

The Duke was unable to answer this question, and obviously did not contradict the old mother's thoughts, but when he heard this, he just sighed, turned around and prepared to leave, out of sight and out of mind.

Seeing this, the old man suddenly grabbed the corner of his clothes and asked with a straight expression, "Now that you see, everything you did in King's Landing has spread, what do you think the Green Apple family will think?" ”

"It's more or less a family of propertied knights, what else can they think as long as I appease them a little." The Duke of Metz replied disappreciatively.

"Like soothing a dog?"

The old man asked causticly, "What will the lords think of you playing with them like dogs?" No, a pack of dogs? ”

"How can this be called a joke - well, it is, but isn't it true that Jenna didn't become queen, and the marriage contract is still valid, and I don't think it will make a difference." The Duke replied.

"You have to know that dogs bite when they're in a hurry." The old man said with a sneer.

"So what do you say?"

Duke Metz said with some dissatisfaction: "Tell me to apologize?" ”

The old man did not answer the question, but abruptly changed the subject: "You wrote back earlier that someone took advantage of you?" ”

"Yes," said the Duke of Metz, "or I wouldn't have thought of that." ”

Apparently he had already begun to find a way to excuse his actions.

"Who is it, did you find it?"

"This ......" the Duke hesitated, his main focus was on how to "attack" Robert, but he didn't care much about it.

"We were understaffed, and there were too many people in King's Landing at that time, so-"

"Just answer yes or no." The old lady rubbed her cheeks and said, "Do you think I like to listen to your excuses so much?" ”

"Nope."

Duke Metz immediately replied, "No clues. ”

"It's good, I didn't say anything about being tricked, and I haven't even figured out who I was tricked by."

The old man said, looking at the black-haired boy who was laughing with his grandson at the banquet, and sighed in his mouth: "I didn't mention the reputation of not being trustworthy and disrespecting the vassals, and I also attracted the attention of the lion." And what do you get, a Baratheon kid? Tell me, what could he do other than make my teeth ache? Did you deliberately bring him back to anger me? ”

"That's proof enough that Robert—"

"What do you think we didn't lose much of our interests as the defeated side? The favor of the deer? ”

"It's better than nothing...... duke quibbled with embarrassment.

"That's right." The old lady nodded in agreement, and let Mace, who was a son, . Tyrell was speechless again, but the next word in his ears made his face succumb.

"What do you mean by that Lannister's debts?" The old man asked meaningfully. Apparently she was referring to the deteriorating relationship between the Tyrells and the Lannisters during the incident.

"Shall we be afraid of them?" The Duke of Riverland replied sternly.

"If there is no accident, the next king will have half the blood of a lion in his body, and our good neighbor to the east will now become the Stannis who has been surrounded by you for nearly a year." The old man reminded him, "What are you going to do?" Do nothing? And then wait and see if these small problems turn into big problems? ”

Duke Mace didn't speak, and didn't seem to think much about this, so the old man sighed when he saw this, and said, "I didn't find who it was?" Very good, the sea monster seems to be quite honest lately, this is not possible, bring it out for me. ”

"Mother, do you mean the Iron Islands?"

Duke Metz was stunned when he heard this: "What does this have to do with the Lannisters?" ”

"Use your brains, my dear son."

The old man sighed and said, "What good can you do to make me angry?" ”
