Chapter 7: The Spring Feast
Although Yu Wang did not go to the spring banquet, the spring banquet was still as warm as before.
The kings of each clan sat on the upper seat, and the younger generations such as sons and princesses gathered in the lower seats, chatting about their own topics.
Because Yu Wang was not seated, Yu Jin, who was originally sitting with her, sat next to Su Ye, kept bringing him fresh food, and the joy on his face could not be hidden. Yu Ming and Bai Yumin, the eldest son of the Lian clan, sat together, one was dressed plainly and looked calm, and the other was gorgeously dressed and looked high, which became a pair.
Bai Yumin poured a glass of grass dew wine for each of them, and brought the wine glass to his nose, full of boasting: "The family is used to drinking the joyful mash, but it is still your family's grass dew that is sweet." Not bad. After speaking, he poured three glasses in a row.
Yu Ming was not moved by this: "The eldest prince of Lian laughed, how can a golden golden grief be compared to a mere grass dew." ”
"Brother Ming, you care about the dignity of the wine, but what I care about is the mood of drinking." Bai Yumin said and poured herself another glass, a little regretful.
Yu Ming was still faint and didn't say much to him.
Bai Yu sighed: "I begged my father for a long time to bring me to the banquet, but you treat me so coldly, I couldn't find you several times before, and now I don't want to say a few more words to me at the banquet." It's going to make me sad. ”
"Brother Bai, where is it, it's just that the food is current, and you can't live up to it, so I don't have much to say to you."
Bai Yuxuan smiled and said, "That's that," and poured wine for the two of them, "Speaking of which, although you and I are both the eldest sons in the country, our circumstances are very different. You just have to wait to take the throne, but I still have six brothers in my family, and intrigue is inevitable, and it is already very difficult to sit and eat with you now. ”
Bai Yuxuan told that he was in a difficult situation in the country, but Yu Ming disagreed: "Brother Bai's intelligence is above me, he was born as the eldest son, and he is respected by his younger brother and trusted by his father, so why is it difficult to say." ”
"My brothers respect me, fear me, and ask for me, but it is the result of my hard work. And Junxin is fickle, and in order to keep my position, I have to do something. It's better that Brother Ming still doesn't know about those things behind the scenes. If only you could be as comfortable as you, you wouldn't have to think much about it, and you would still be pure."
Yu Ming heard Bai Yumin's words, thinking about how many stories were contained in it, but when he looked at Bai Yumin, he still had a smile on his face, as always, elusive. All kinds of thoughts, with the grass dew into the stomach, do not ask much.
The kings of each clan are listed at the top, and this ranking is not as casual as that of the juniors.
King Lian and King Keli sit side by side, showing the friendship between the two countries, Jinghe and Bian Qian are originally neighbors, naturally side by side, and He and Bian Qian are prejudiced, so naturally they will not be adjacent, and there are other countries that have feuds such as Zhen and Shan, which are far apart. Such an arrangement is also the intention of King Keli.
The seats were full, and the number of people was nearly half less than in previous years. Some people know the reason in their hearts, but it is just a matter of astuteness and inconvenient to say more, while some people are completely unaware and can't say anything wrong.
There is also a seat in the upper seat that is unoccupied.
"Master Su, I don't know why your father didn't come this year?" King Kerry asked.
Su Yezheng and Yu Jin were explaining something, and when they saw the elders calling him, they looked back and replied: "Recently, there have been a sudden increase in many people seeking medical treatment in the country, and my father really can't get out of his body, and his medical skills are shallow, so he can't help much, so he can only send me to the banquet, and invite Wang Haihan of all clans." ”
King Keli naturally understood, looked around the audience, and asked, "Why didn't King Yu come?" ”
King Jing smiled: "It's not his baby daughter, she is a very well-behaved person on weekdays, but somehow, she suddenly made a fuss, her father was helpless, so he could only watch at home, so naturally he couldn't come." ”
All the kings have become fathers and grandfathers, and when they talk about these children, they are very happy, and they will inevitably say a few more words.
King Binting looked submissive, and everyone else said that it was good, but there were many people talking to him, and he didn't know who to reply to for a while.
The king has always been a frequent visitor to the Spring and Autumn Banquet, no matter how far the road is, he will come to the banquet, and every time he comes alone, he is not afraid of road dangers, and he has become the king of attendance at banquets in various countries. And apart from the meeting at the banquet, the kings could hardly recall that there was such a nation. The kings did not know whether it should be respectable or ridiculous for the spirit of the king to come to every banquet. Now he had eaten too much wine, drunk and fell aside, dreaming of where the next feast would go.
All the kings drank and ate meat happily, but only the table between King Lu and his youngest son was cleaner, less wine and meat, and there was some dark fragrance.
King Lu is nearly fifty, but he has a good skin, looking at the appearance of a handsome man who is still thirty years old, and the fifteen-year-old Lu Xiaogongzi sits next to him, like a brother. Because Lu Ying is more delicate and small than others, she is often ridiculed by the sons of other countries, so this time she sat with her father and was not close to others.
King Lu noticed that Xiao'er was always looking left and right, so he gently pressed him and asked softly, "Who are you looking for?" ”
Lu Ying nodded: "I'm waiting for my sister to come." ”
"Sister Wang? Is that the princess you talked about last time? ”
Lu Ying nodded, her eyes full of smiles.
There is a reason why Lu Ying has a good impression of Yu Wang.
When he was a child, he came to Keli for the first time to participate in the spring banquet, because of his petite figure, and beautiful face, wearing dance clothes, like a girl, he was teased by the princesses of all ethnic groups.
"You're so good-looking, you're a girl, do you want to be a princess for me?"
"I'm a boy." The voice is as thin as a mosquito fly.
"Look at you, you've just come to my waist, you're so short." Heda gestured with his hand.
Lu Ying didn't know how to reply to him, so she could only stand still.
"Don't you know how to dance? Jump us on. ”
Lu Ying thought for a while and shook her head, intuition that they had bad intentions and didn't want to jump to show them.
"Jump, jump."
"Jump, jump for Ben Gongzi."
"If you don't jump, I'm going to beat you."
A group of people pinched Lu Ying, pushing and urging.
Although children are childlike, they are still full of ridicule in the eyes of their peers.
Lu Ying looked at the somewhat hideous face in front of her, became more and more panicked, stepped back, and fell to the ground with a light touch, embarrassed, and didn't want to shed tears to make people laugh, but she endured it herself, which made people want to be bullied more and more.
I don't know how long it took, suddenly a person stood in front of him, covering the dazzling sunlight, blocking the ridicule in the sky, scolding those people back one by one, and helping him up who had fallen.
Lu Ying looked at the big sister in front of her, and then she couldn't help but feel aggrieved, and cried in her arms.
This person is Yu Wang, at that time she was a beginner in martial arts, and she felt that she had a heroic spirit, and she naturally couldn't bear it when she saw the bullying of the weak, and she didn't want to become a hero in the eyes of Lu Xiaogongzi, and she wanted to repay him every day.
This time, Lu Ying came to find his sister Wang, thinking about it for a day, thinking that the spring banquet should be seen, but he didn't want to hope that he would even participate in the spring banquet in the future, so naturally he didn't have a chance to see it.
