Chapter 969: Hongmen Banquet
The horn suona was blowing, and they were all festive, waiting for Xiao Yongde and them to come back.
In the capital, as soon as they entered the capital, those people all cast adoring eyes on Xiao Yongde.
Xiao Yongde is the hero who saved the Chu State and the undefeated god of war.
"Undefeated God of War, Undefeated God of War."
Someone in the crowd shouted, one shouted, and the others followed suit.
Xiao Changge looked at these people, densely packed like ants.
And the person who shouted the undefeated god of war she had seen, just in the previous life.
Chu Yan beheaded the Xiao family in the name of her father's treason, and this person was the first to stand up and scold her father for treason.
Ask her why she remembers it so clearly, it's because...
"You are still an undefeated god of war, you colluded with the Yan State to trap the Chu State and deliberately defeated the battle, what qualifications do you have to wear this armor."
"Traitor, traitor, go die..."
"A person like you is not worthy of being a general of the Chu State!"
"Ge'er thought of something funny, staring at an ugly monster for so long."
Chu Yu seemed to have a pair of eyes in front of him, knowing that Xiao Changge was staring at others.
Looking in the direction Xiao Changge was looking, he was a dead fat man.
The fat head is like a stupid one.
And it looks ugly, a lump of fat meat, and when it moves, the meat on the stomach and face moves.
What is there to look at such a person.
It's better to look at him than to look at that fat pig.
"The concubine body just thinks of something."
Xiao Changge took his eyes off the man and looked in the direction of the palace.
Chu Yu kept the man's appearance in mind, there were many people now, and it was not appropriate to do it.
The shouting became more and more heard, and the noise was full of voices.
"General Xiao, do you see, these people are cheering for you, you are the honor of the Chu State."
With a sharp voice and some excitement, it was the first time that these people at the top paid so much attention to him.
He likes this feeling of being in the limelight, and of course it is a blessing for Xiao Yongde.
"Grandpa Mo has won awards."
Xiao Yongde said absent-mindedly.
"The palace is still holding a dust-washing banquet for General Xiao, and Mrs. Xiao has also been invited, and General Xiao will be able to catch up with Mrs. Xiao later."
Father-in-law Mo mistakenly thought that Xiao Yongde was missing his family and reminded.
Xiao Yongde took care of him along the way, and if there were any good things, he would use them first, and then it would be his turn to be with Chu Yu, even if they were good to him, he couldn't be too stingy.
He's not a good guy, but he still knows it.
Before, inside and outside the palace, it was rumored that Xiao Yongde had another holy decree in his hand, and he thought of the rebellion, and he only felt that he was just when he got along with Xiao Yongde in the past few days, if people like Xiao Yongde wanted to rebel, it would probably be the end of the Chu State.
Of course, he only dared to think about this kind of thing in his heart, but he didn't dare to say it, and if he said it, he would be killed.
"General Xiao, if you enter the palace and speak, remember to think carefully first."
"Thank you Grandpa Mo for your advice."
Xiao Yongde heard it in a fog, but he politely thanked Mo Gong.
"Grandpa Mo said this, could it be that what will happen if he enters the palace?"
Chu Yu asked curiously, and Gonggong Mo smiled: "What can happen in the palace, the miscellaneous family is just a small reminder, lest something really happen, it's here." ”
Father-in-law Mo didn't say any more, looked up at the vermilion gate, and there was a plaque hanging in front of the gate, which read the three big characters of Bauhinia City, the handwriting was sloppy but atmospheric.
The gates slowly opened, and the guards stood in a row, their trumpets blaring, and their voices loud.
Xiao Changge listened to the music and didn't feel festive.
Your Majesty, General Xiao and they are back. ”
Xiao Yuanzi hurriedly ran to the Emperor of Chu to pray, and the queen helped the Emperor of Chu to walk out, descending the steps step by step.
Xiao Yongde dismounted after the city gate was opened, and the group slowly stepped into the city gate.
In addition to the concubines and the emperor, the rest of the people in the palace are not allowed to ride horses or sit in sedan chairs, and if they want to enter the palace, they must walk to show their sincerity.
"Okay, okay, I'm finally back, and it's not in vain that I sent someone to send two holy decrees."
Emperor Chu nodded and sighed, Xiao Changge was a little surprised when he looked at this formation, the formation was not small.
"The minister knocks to see the emperor, long live my emperor, long live, long live."
Xiao Yongde knelt on the ground, and the rest of the people also knelt down.
Emperor Chu nodded: "Get up." ”
"General Xiao, I've worked hard for you this time."
Emperor Chu gave an order, and everyone got up.
"Thanks to the concerted efforts of the compatriots in the Northern Desert, it is not the credit of the ministers alone."
Xiao Yongde said modestly, causing Emperor Chu to laugh: "General Xiao is modest, it has been like this since before, it's not early, let's take the table first, so as not to make Mrs. Xiao wait for a long time." ”
"Yes."
At the banquet
Emperor Chu sat on the highest place, accompanied by Li Hongsleeve, followed by the empress.
It was supposed to be the queen sitting next to Emperor Chu, but it seemed that Li Hongsleeve was more favored.
The queen doesn't mind, she should eat and drink.
Anyway, she is the queen, as long as she does not die and act carefully, she is the mother of a country, and no one can shake her status.
In the future, when her son ascends the throne, she will be the queen mother.
Dozens of tables are lined up in two rows, and the dancers in the middle are dancing.
Concubine Jing was unwell and did not attend, so there was an extra vacant seat on the side.
Concubine Li swept to the vacant seat, and it was a pity that Concubine Jing did not appear on this happy day.
A while ago, it was rumored that the first emperor left another relic that could threaten the status of Emperor Chu in the hands of Xiao Yongde, and according to her, something would definitely happen today.
In the hall, Concubine Jing straddled the soft collapse, and she could hear the sound of music and dance clearly.
"Mother, are you really not going to join in the fun? The slave and maid just came over there, and it was lively over there. ”
The palace maid's eyes lit up, and she was happy when she said that there was a banquet outside.
"It's just a Hongmen feast, what is there to go."
"Hongmen Banquet? Isn't this a feast to welcome General Shaw's triumphant return? ”
The palace maid was puzzled.
The entire Chu State was happy that Xiao Yongde had repelled the Yan and Qi countries!
"You don't understand it when you're young, but you'll understand it later."
"Instead of going over there to watch the excitement, it's better to rest more, maybe you won't have this opportunity to enjoy in the future."
Concubine Jing closed her eyes, and the palace maid did not disturb Concubine Jing when she saw this, but slowly retreated.
Everyone came back, but her son and daughter-in-law remained in the Northern Desert, and Emperor Chu was determined not to let her son come back.
She has exhausted all methods, but the Emperor of Chu has a garlic.
The prince can enjoy happiness in the palace, but her son must stay outside the gate.
Concubine Jing clenched her hands and said that it was fake if she was not angry.
It's okay if you don't compare, but if you compare her son, there's nothing.
She used to naively think that as long as Chu Mo did a great job in the Northern Desert, she would be able to return to the palace, and she would be able to raise her eyebrows in front of those people, but no matter how good her son was, Emperor Chu would not let him return to the palace.
This banquet should have had a place for her son!
In the Xiao Mansion, except for the Yan family who was invited to the palace, the other concubines could not go, and the Wen family could only be busy preparing things in the mansion, and then hold a simple banquet for him after Xiao Yongde came back.
However, they haven't figured out how to tell Xiao Yongde about the Yuan family.
"Fourth sister, did you say that the master would know about it..."
Hu asked worriedly.
"Life and death are fateful, this is also something that can't be helped, if you want to blame Sister Yuan's thin life."
Wen stopped moving, frowning slightly.
It's all fate, and no one can save it.
Yuan's life is like this, what can they do, and they don't say that Xiao Yongde will know, it is better to confess directly.
"Sister, I'll talk about this, don't worry too much."
"I'll leave this matter to my sister."
"Well, my sister should go and get busy with Yan'er's marriage first, this is what my sister should think."
Yuan was empathetic, and Hu was grateful.
Her biggest wish now is that Xiao Yayan will get married, and her in-laws have already negotiated it, and she was supposed to marry in a few days after the dowry in the next few days, but it was postponed for a few days because of the Yuan family's affairs.
It just so happened that Xiao Yongde came back today, and Xiao Yongde could be allowed to pass over in a few days.
When you get married, you can only have a head and face when you have your father by your side, and your in-laws over there will not look down on Xiao Yayan.
"Thank you, sister."
"You and my sister still need to say thank you for so many years, I didn't expect that in a blink of an eye, everyone grew up and got married."
"I still remember that Yan'er liked to stick to Ya'er when she was a child, and the two of them had a good time, and once Yan'er fell into the water and Ya'er jumped directly to catch her, which scared the two of us at the time."
"Poof."
"My sister still remembers these things, I've forgotten them."
Hu snorted, squinted and smiled, wrinkles floating.
"The bigger I am now, the worse my memory becomes, and I forget everything, sister, I'm on your side no matter what."
Hu suddenly burst out with a sentence, which made Wen's smile freeze.
"Why did my sister say that?"
"Yongcheng's affairs, my sister knows that you are still worried."
Wen's hand shook, and his face was not shocked.
"My sister will handle the matter of Yongcheng herself, and this matter will not let my sister be in danger."
"Sister, isn't it about the Yuan family..."
Hu Shi stopped halfway through speaking, and looked at Wen with both eyes, only to see her sad face.
"Sister, are you suspicious of me? What kind of person I am, don't you know what kind of person my sister has? Or maybe in my sister's heart, I'm the ruthless person in the center? ”
Wen said, looking disappointed.
Hu Shi was a little guilty when she saw Wen like this, and she was just guessing.
"No, no, it's not like this, I just don't ask, how can I doubt my sister, my sister takes great care of Sister Yuan, and treats Enze like a son, it's my sister who is crazy to ask such a stupid question, sister don't be angry."
Hu explained nervously, for fear that Wen would be angry.
"My sister is not angry, she is just a little disappointed, I'll go to the kitchen first."
With that, Wen turned to leave, letting Hu shout behind him Wen didn't stop.
"Sister, sister."
Hu shouted until Wen's figure disappeared from her sight.
"Hey, I shouldn't have asked if I knew I wouldn't have asked."
Hu Shi slapped his face lightly, knowing that she shouldn't have asked about this, otherwise it wouldn't be the current situation.
She just remembered that what Hu said a few days ago was very strange, so she asked.
At the banquet, Emperor Chu held his red sleeves with one hand and raised his wine glass with the other.
The red-sleeved eyes looked at the person sitting below, he was peeling the shrimp shell for Xiao Changge, his gestures were full of tenderness, and even when he looked at Xiao Changge, his eyes were full of autumn waves.
If Chu Yu knew that Xiao Changge designed her to marry and ordered someone to do that kind of thing to her, would Chu Yu stand up for her like he did then?
Red Sleeves thought and looked forward to it.
If Chu Yu can come out for her again, it will be worth dying.
"Xing'er, Xing'er?"
Emperor Chu shouted, and Red Sleeves came back to his senses, picked up the wine glass and collided with Emperor Chu.
