Chapter 126: Family Banquet (Happy Tanabata)
After a while, Ayu led Zhao Nuan over with a little maid.
The three of them went to the main hall and learned that King Liang was in the study, so they turned around and went to the back.
There was Zhou Jin outside the study, and when he saw Ayu coming, he didn't pass through, so he let her in directly.
Wei Li was writing a letter on the bookcase, and when she saw that it was her, she naturally pointed to the tea cup that lived not far away.
Ayu poured him a cup in the past, knowing that men don't like to disturb when they are doing things, so they silently sat down on a small chair next to him.
I have to say that a man is the most beautiful when he is concentrating, his brows are frowning slightly, his thin lips are pursed, and Gujing Wubo's eyes are half-drooping, but they cover up the frost in his eyes.
It is at this time that his face will be softer than ever, gently holding the pen with his sleeves up, and sitting upright in front of the desk like a painting of Mobao Danqing.
It's just that the person in the painting is not a lady, but he is better than a lady.
The appearance of men sometimes makes Ayu ashamed of herself, that is a good-looking existence than women.
Wei Li was originally very serious, but she was a little distracted after being watched for a long time, but fortunately, the matter at hand was also coming to an end, so she put down her pen and blew the ink and asked her, "What are you looking at?" ”
"No, nothing."
Ayu got up, "Your Highness, are you done?" ”
"Hmm. However, I want to ask, your brother, what about it? ”
Wei Li pretended to be in the envelope, thinking that she was in a hurry for this, but unexpectedly, the woman shook her head and said, "Your Highness, I, I just want to see if you have any arrangements for the evening." ”
"Oh." Wei Li raised his eyebrows, "Do you want to?" ”
"I just thought, if there is nothing to do, let's eat a bowl of dumplings together at night, the concubine made it herself."
Since they all came to invite someone, Ayu decided to show some sincerity, and when she went back, she would prepare to go to the small kitchen to make two plates of dumplings.
This seems to be the first time that the little maid has taken the initiative to invite him.
Wei Li hooked his finger at her, and the woman moved over and he pulled him into his arms.
"What's the matter, today, so, with a heart?"
The little maid is abnormal, and he is still happy for Wei Li.
"No, it's not Chinese New Year's Eve."
Ayu lowered her head and said what was in her heart, Chinese New Year's Eve dinner reunion, used to spend with her family, this year her relatives are not around, she thinks about living with men is the same.
"Chinese New Year's Eve......"
She didn't mention that Wei Li was going to forget about the morning, and the woman in the backyard opened a banquet and invited him to come over for a reunion dinner in the evening.
Wei Li naturally didn't want to go, but was persuaded by Zhou Jin.
The night before, a small group of people came to Ma Taguan to sneak attack and were caught by them, in addition to the rebels and the people of King Qi.
Wei Li hadn't fully figured out the purpose of those people, but he reminded him that the relationship with Ma Xiaowan needed to maintain a superficial harmony.
"Your Highness, you have something to do, you can come later."
Seeing the man's hesitation, Ayu added again, she didn't think that she had to eat together, just eat two dumplings.
Wei Li bowed his head, "Then I'll be later." ”
The man agreed, and Ayu was also very happy, reaching out and hugging his waist.
It was night, and at the beginning of the lanterns, Wei Li took the two little eunuchs to the backyard for the second time.
This banquet was commanded by Su Jin and Ma Xiaowan, and with the power of Zhou Jin's temporary promise, he arranged for more than a dozen tables to be held in the big kitchen.
Yes, being busy and most of the day will also get a day's power.
Zhou Jin found a reason that it was not a fuel-efficient lamp, and came to Tingfeng Courtyard respectfully, first saying that he was afraid that the princess would be tired, and then he had no children in the backyard.
The words are nice, but in fact, they are unwilling to delegate power.
If you want to say that this palace is still the good king, although Ma Xiaowan also wants to start from Wei Li's side, she is disgusted when she thinks of the wedding night, and naturally she doesn't want to go to the man.
The banquet hall is set up in the warm pavilion of the Tingfeng Courtyard, that is, the reunion dinner, and all the concubines in the backyard are here.
Wei Li hadn't gotten closer yet, and frowned when he heard the women's jokes and laughter from a distance.
Zhou Jin was very discerning, and when he saw this, he asked a little eunuch to go over and spread the word first.
Sure enough, when those women heard that King Liang was coming, they were instantly silent.
It's not that they don't have nothing to do, and they are afraid that they will not appear in front of the good king with the best posture.
At this time, the horse on the main seat also took the maid's hand to the outside of the hall to greet him.
She was in front, and a group of women were behind, waiting for Wei Li to approach Qi Qifu and say goodbye.
"Hail to Your Highness."
Everyone bowed their heads, bowed their blessings, and saw the princess in front of them straighten up, and they also followed.
However, when everyone looked at the door again, they were a little dazed, and King Liang, who was about to enter the hall, suddenly disappeared, and only two little eunuchs were guarding the lintel.
"Ladies and gentlemen, take a seat."
Ma Xiaowan went to her own banquet as if she was surprised, and as soon as she sat down on her side, Wei Li also came in through the side door and went directly to another table in the main seat.
Only then did everyone come back to their senses, and the good king did not leave, but did not enter through the main gate, but had to go around in a circle and enter through the side door.
Why is that?
In a group of women, except for the two side concubines who followed the three ladies who were rewarded in the palace, most of the other people were not clear about those rumors in Beijing, after all, those things were easy for no one to say.
You must know that Liangzhou is the territory of King Liang, not as good as Beijing, and the mouth of the people can't be blocked.
Ma Xiaowan is also wearing a red brocade robe today, and her makeup is even more graceful and luxurious than yesterday.
When King Liang entered the feast, she held the wine cup and said with a smile, "Your Highness, it is a rare gathering during the festival, why don't you have a banquet." ”
When she mentioned this, all the women at the head were looking forward to it, and most of the people had seen the handsomeness of the good king, but they heard less of his voice.
Wei Li looked sideways at Ma Xiaowan on the other side of the main seat, and the corners of his mouth hooked up an inexplicable smile.
The seats of the two were very far apart, and although they sat in the main seats, they each lived in the same room, and it was obvious that they both hated each other in their hearts.
"Ai Concubine, I'm glad to be miserable."
Wei Li raised the lamp and said to the women below, "Everyone, this king, I am fortunate to be a beautiful woman today, and I am with you." Can you, one by one, step forward, report yourself, and make a name? ”
The good king didn't even know their names, and everyone was surprised, but soon they were relieved.
I haven't seen the prince again when I came to this backyard, and it's normal to be forgotten.
But now, His Highness took the initiative to ask about this, which proves that there is still a chance.
After a while, he had the courage to stand outside, saluting and winking, and pinching his voice to report his name.
Wei Li nodded, and returned a smiling look.
Laughing like this and dazzling the eyes of the women, everyone rushed to stand outside, except for Han Su's two side concubines, they all reported it all over again, and some people who could sing and dance musical instruments came out to give a song to King Liang.
Wei Li is accurate, as long as he stands up, he is allowed, and those who come will not refuse.
For a while, the sound of warblers in the hall was singing and dancing, Wei Li kept smiling, and even praised those women.
What is very beautiful, very good, and hearty, until the concubine is called out.
The atmosphere at the banquet pushed him directly to the climax, and all the women tried their best to please the high king, and then looked at the princess Ma on the other side, sitting there laughing, but it was more like a joke.
