Chapter 72—The Feast of Celebration (7)
The Northern Tang Iron Cavalry and the guards of the Smoke and Rain Palace stayed where they were, standing there silently, tonight's wait might be a long time, but they were very happy.
When entering the big tent, due to the change of light, Guan Kuo squinted his eyes, and finally everything slowly became clear.
Sure enough, for Li Xianyue and others, tonight was a very grand event, but Guan Kuo felt that it was still a little simple.
The seats are indeed complete, the delicacies are sent from the city in the Guannei quickly, and the wine is already available in the army, but no one usually drinks it, it is a good wine that Li Xianyue treasures, of course, it is precious.
For the rest, probably.
It's the atmosphere that matters, and the people who attend the feast.
Ji Ru obviously didn't look down on those things, thinking that Li Xianyue was really tasteless, and pursed his lips slightly.
Fan Rao naturally didn't notice that kind of action, but Jin An and Guan Kuo both found out, but they just pretended not to know.
Ji Guang and several of Li Xianyue's most trusted people were waiting in the big tent, and seeing that the beautiful and refined Ji Ru had entered the tent, they came over to greet him:
"Meet Her Royal Highness the Little Princess."
Ji Ru waved her little hand elegantly and said, "Excuse me." ”
"Your Highness Princess, this is your seat."
Ji Guang led Ji Ru to the front and said respectfully.
Jin An naturally followed, he was not invited tonight, but as one of the most powerful people in the entire Southern Wu, he must be able to stand closely by Ji Ruye's side, and no one will express dissent.
Fan Rao looked at Ji Ruyi's figure, and finally did not follow, tonight's banquet, he will have his own seat, and the same is true for Guan Kuo.
In the entire big tent, in addition to Ji Guang and other Li Xianyue's most trusted people, there are only four people: Ji Rushi, Jin An, Fan Rao and Guan Kuo.
The big tent was brightly lit, Guan Kuo's eyes swept around, feeling a little cramped, he looked at Jin An behind Ji Ru who forcibly maintained an elegant posture, and found that the guy had begun to close his eyes and recuperate, looking calm and relaxed, and he couldn't help but feel a little angry.
Immediately after, his gaze and Fan Rao's eyes met, and both sides saw something in each other's eyes.
He and Fan Rao didn't know each other, there were so many generals in Nanwu, and he wouldn't have heard of each other, so he would be a little curious about Fan Rao, but it was obvious that Fan Rao's eyes on him were more than that.
Their eyes met each other and they were silent for a moment.
Then, Guan Kuo asked, "Do you know me, General Fan?" ”
"I think a lot of people in the world know you." Fan Rao looked away.
In the short contact tonight, he didn't notice anything worth squinting at Guan Kuo, and the gap between the other party's image and his imagination was a bit big, so he wanted to take a look at Guan Kuo more to see if he could see something.
Many times the sluggishness of thinking is not obviously really stupid, the spread of Guan Kuo's name as a fool back then, may have been just bullying him and succeeding at first, but later because of everyone's arrogance and prejudice against the government, it intensified, and the final source is actually nothing more than that, of course, Fan Rao can't see anything after a short period of contact.
"Then I'm honored." Guan Kuo smiled and was noncommittal.
When he finished saying this, the tent door opened again, and a majestic general came out first, followed by a Northern Tang general who had taken off his uniform.
Their gaze swept over the faces of everyone in the big tent, and finally fell on the face of Ji Ruye, who was dressed in full costume, and said, "I have seen Her Royal Highness the little princess." ”
Ji Ru didn't know these two, so she just smiled slightly and said, "Hello." ”
Immediately afterwards, she made a rare polite look and asked, "You two know me, and I don't know you, it's not fair, can you introduce yourself?" Let's get to know each other. ”
The general in the back smiled at the sturdy other, and then looked at Fan Rao, and smiled at each other.
"General Fan, don't come unharmed, we've met, or you can introduce it to Her Royal Highness the little princess."
Fan Rao nodded, stood up, and said: "Princess, this one is the famous Northern Tang Dingyuan general Bai Congyun, and this one is the Zhenwu general Wang Du, both of whom are the mainstays of the Northern Xinjiang army and have made great contributions to the Northern Tang Dynasty. ”
Ji Ruye's eyes were shining, and she looked a little excited: "It turned out to be two, that princess has been admired for a long time!" ”
Xiao An An behind him opened his eyes and thought, it's strange that you have admired the name for a long time, how could you care about those generals in the Northern Tang Dynasty? Sure enough, he was talking nonsense with his eyes open, and he pretended to be very similar.
Indeed, if Bai Congyun and Wang Du knew that Ji Ruye's "excitement" and the look in his eyes were all pretended, I don't know if they would faint.
"It's an honor to be able to enter the ears of Her Royal Highness the little princess." Bai Congyun said happily.
Either way, it's always an honor.
The smile on Ji Ru is face hid a deep embarrassment, thinking that she must pretend to be and not be able to show her stuffing.
Wang Du also seemed more happy, at least, Ji Ruyi's performance gave them great expectations, and as a result, the other party's "golden mouth" can also make them pay attention to it and be slightly proud.
Bai Congyun's gaze left Ji Rusi, Jin An, and Fan Rao, and finally landed on the remaining young man, slightly surprised.
Previously, like everyone else, they had a rough guess about the people who might be invited to this banquet, at least, those people, they would have seen them, or heard of them because of the identity of the other party, as for the face, the most unfortunate and at most familiar but couldn't remember who it was, however, Guan Kuo, they really didn't know each other at all.
Of course, they all know about Guan Kuo.
Bai Congyun was a little curious about Guan Kuo's identity, so he asked politely, "Who is this?" ”
For this situation, Guan Kuo has already made a lot of plans, he is Guan Kuo, this point, sooner or later, he has to accept everyone's eyes, and he can't hide, so he is ready to speak.
was interrupted by a pleasant voice.
"This is one of the more outstanding guards of the Yanyu Palace of Her Royal Highness the Princess, the last time your Royal Highness the King of Jin had a very happy conversation with him, and it was like a familiar sight, so he was also invited over as a new friend, his name is not enough to worry about, hehe."
I have to say that Guan Kuo's mood was depressed for Ji Ruyi's sideways intervention, he couldn't say anything, and Ji Ruyi killed all his words.
