Chapter 128: Tanabata Night Banquet
It is already July, and the climate of Dragon City is lukewarm, and the Qixi Night Banquet is set in the imperial garden where flowers bloom like a sea, which makes the banquet participants feel refreshed.
Since Long Yucang should be down, Jia Ji naturally will not miss the opportunity to follow, but Su Yueyue, Zhilan and Yushu are all guarding the princess Feng Huanling, and she is the only one who always follows the princess.
The Qixi feast is different from the ordinary palace banquet, although it is a night banquet, but this Qixi banquet will not set up a fixed banquet as usual, but some snacks and drinks will be placed at intervals to facilitate eating, and everyone who goes to the banquet can move around freely.
Not only is the scene layout ingenious and romantic, but the atmosphere is also relatively more relaxed and lively, and most of the rare elders on the scene are young men and women, and most of them are unmarried. Three, five groups or even two pairs of the ground, in front of the flower under the moon to taste wine or chant poems against each other, even in response to the scene of the Chinese Valentine's Day.
Long Yucang has never liked greetings, so he took the wind and chose the most secluded pavilion to sit down, blowing the night breeze with the hidden fragrance of flowers, and appreciating the bright moon on the top of his hand.
It's just that Feng Huanling looked at the moon for a while and felt that the Haoyue in the sky was not as beautiful as the man next to him, so he withdrew his distant gaze and looked at Long Yucang beside him intently, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously hooked a sweet smile that seemed to overflow with honey.
"What? Today, I finally told Concubine Mo Shu, so happy to be like this? Long Yucang also felt that the moon was not as beautiful as the people around her, so she had already withdrawn her gaze to look at her, so she turned her eyes and collided with him, "Empress Dowager Mo must know by now, do you think the Mo family will treat this matter like this?" ”
Feng Huanling put his head on his shoulder, and his voice was a little lazy, "The Mo family is all smart people, and they should be able to think that if they continue like this, they will follow in the footsteps of the Yan and Feng families, and they will always take action." That's all I can do to help them, and from now on, I can only rely on their own skills and see if they can escape the clutches of dragon science. I'm afraid that we will have to take care of ourselves in the future, where can we take care of them? ”
In fact, it can be seen from the young talents who entered the palace for the banquet today that Emperor Xuan has the intention to support the new forces, which are forces that are easier for him to control, so it is destined that the five major families will be gradually weakened even if they are not destroyed, and the prevention is nothing more than the heart of disobedience. And at the moment, in addition to the Mo family, I am afraid that the one that Emperor Xuan wants to get rid of the most is King Cheyue.
"Well, if the Mo family is willing to give up, maybe they can still fight for a glimmer of life for themselves." Long Yucang lowered his head and kissed her forehead and eyebrows, "I know what you think, don't worry, when you feel that the time is ripe, at least the Nangong clan and the Su clan will help each other somewhat." But the stakes are too big to be urgent. ”
Feng Huanling nodded and said, "I naturally understand......"
It seemed that the atmosphere in the isolated small pavilion was just right, but Zhilan deliberately amplified the volume of a greeting, which stopped all the words of the two inside.
"Isn't this the new Kyung Zhao Yin Jong-sama? My princess and princess are resting here, but I am afraid that I will bother the adults and this girl to change places and spend the moon before the moon. ”
Zhilan has always been a clever tongue, even if there is something inappropriate in her words, no one will think she is rude with a pretty smile.
"The tired girl reported that Weichen came here to meet the prince and the princess."
The person who came was Jing Zhao Yin Zhongzheng, who was once pushed to the cusp of public opinion in Kyoto, although he soared, he did not lose his simple essence, even if he was just facing a little girl, he was still very polite.
Zhong Zheng deliberately found it and didn't mean anything else, but he knew that King Cheyue and his wife also entered the palace for a feast, so he wanted to come over to meet and thank him for the previous matter. Although King Cheyue handed over the investigation of the disaster relief funds to Mo Weiwei at that time, he always felt that if it were not for the special instructions of the prince, the Mo family would not have spared so much effort to investigate, and even did not hesitate to oppose the Feng family.
Therefore, he and the victims under his original rule have always been grateful, looking forward to a chance to see King Cheyue again and thank him in person.
After hearing Zhilan's report, Long Yucang looked at Feng Huanling, and when he saw her nodding, he let Zhong Zheng enter the pavilion with the beautiful girl who was following him.
Zhong Zheng first made a big gift and solemnly thanked King Cheyue and the princess, and then introduced the girl who followed him and said: "This is the sister Zhong Xiu, who admired the prestige of the prince very much, and learned that the disaster relief money embezzlement case was solved by the prince, so he begged me to take advantage of this Qixi banquet to bring her over to thank the prince in person." ”
Zhong Xiu, a delicate girl who was much more delicate than Zhong Zheng, who was full of righteousness, had already turned red as if she had been dyed with the sunset, and it took a long time to barely say a word of thanking the prince.
The maids who were originally guarding outside the pavilion naturally came back with these two sudden visitors, standing on both sides behind the master, Su Yue and the others only felt proud of their master when they saw this scene, but one of them had a very ugly face.
Jia Ji squinted at the cowardly Zhong Xiu, and snorted coldly: "Such a good-looking woman with no good fortune dares to think about my prince, she really can't help herself!" ”
Although it was a whisper, the pavilion was so big, and it was very quiet because it was far away from the main banquet venue, and the few people present heard the words of the good time clearly, and Zhong Xiu, who was already restrained, immediately became more and more ashamed of himself, and his head was so low that he almost pierced his chest with his pointed chin.
"Palm! The sister-in-law of Lord Jing Zhaoyin, how can she be arranged by a cheap maid like you?! ”
It was the first time for Feng Huanling to speak so violently in front of the maids, and he was so fierce that he was so frightened that his legs fell to the ground in an instant, and he suddenly felt that he had really underestimated this princess in the past.
"The princess forgives her sins, the slave and maid are not intentional, the slave and maid just admire the prince too much, so she feels that no woman is worthy of the fairy-like prince."
In the blink of an eye, his eyes turned red, and Chu Chu raised his head pitifully, although he was pleading with the princess, he was looking at the cold-faced prince.
"Oh? You mean, even I don't deserve the perfect prince in your heart, do you? So, in your opinion, who deserves it? Could it be you? ”
As early as when the Zhong Zheng brothers and sisters came in, Feng Huanling withdrew from Long Yucang's arms, after all, it was just a shame to occasionally indulge and indulge in front of the maid who followed him all day, where would he dare to let outsiders see the two of them grinding their ears and temples? However, sitting alone, she showed a more intimidating momentum, which belonged to Yan Wushuang, who had been in a high position for a long time and had been on the battlefield for a long time in his previous life, and he could only hone the coercive atmosphere.
The courage that I found in the best period immediately lost most of it, but after all, I didn't forget what I wanted to say in my heart, so I said tremblingly: "No, naturally it won't be a slave, and those who can be worthy of the prince are the only woman in the painting in the prince's heart." The slave is so humble, at best, she can only be a shadow stand-in. ”
The Zhong brothers and sisters on the side were a little at a loss, after all, they had not been in for a long time, and it was the first time they had participated in such a palace banquet, how could they have seen such a battle in their remote hometown? What's more, the cause of this incident is also related to Zhong Xiu, and Zhong Zheng, who is upright by nature, immediately gave his sister a look.
Although Zhong Xiu was afraid in her heart, she still stubbornly said: "Princess, in fact, this sister is right, the people's daughter really shouldn't, shouldn't ...... However, the folk girl really didn't have any wrong thoughts, she just hoped to see the fairy side of the prince from afar, and she would have no regrets in this life. ”
Compared with this delicate and simple girl, the good period immediately makes people feel more and more disgusted.
This time, he didn't waste any more saliva with Feng Huanling, Long Yucang directly commanded in a cold voice: "Yushu, immediately give Jia Qi a hundred palms!" ”
Yushu didn't seem to expect that the prince would point to him, and he was slightly stunned before he stepped forward to receive the order, and when he looked at Jia Ji again, his beautiful big eyes were full of anger, and he was looking at her hatefully.
Feng Huanling saw that Zhong Xiu, the little girl, was really frightened by this scene, so she took the initiative to get up and said: "Presumably the Holy Lord is also about to arrive, let's go back to the main banquet hall first, I wonder if Lord Zhong and Sister Ling are willing to return with me and the prince?" ”
Zhong Zheng and Zhong Xiu were flattered and responded, and Yushu also understood what the princess meant, so he deliberately waited until they were all far away before he began to dutifully slap Jia Qi's mouth.
"You don't have to look at me like that, if you have the ability, you can find an opportunity to kill me. Anyway, after the last execution, I can get rid of you completely! As for today's game, I'm afraid it will be difficult for you to get what you want. ”
Yushu's cold face in the moonlight was awe-inspiring, and the sound of each slap in his hand was not too loud, at least in this quiet night, there was no pavilion for long, but after only a dozen strokes, Jia Ji's face was already high and red and swollen, and the corners of his mouth were also overflowing with blood.
Jia Ji also expected that Yushu would not show mercy to his subordinates because the two had the same background, but he didn't expect her to be ruthless like this.
When Jia Ji followed Yushu and quietly returned to Yuzi in the main banquet hall, that face was already so swollen that he couldn't make out any of his original appearance.
After Feng Huanling glanced at Jia Ji's face, he cast an approving look at Yushu, and then accompanied Long Yucang with full attention to greet the people gathered around him. She saw that the face that looked like her previous life was beaten like this, and she felt a little awkward in her heart, but this move was imperative tonight, even if there was no Zhong Xiu, she would definitely find other mistakes so that Jia Qi's face would no longer have any "effect" at least tonight.
After a short time, the shrill voice of the inner supervisor chanted "The Holy Lord has arrived", and everyone scattered in the banquet hall knelt down to pick up the driver, shouting "Long live" in unison.
It seems that he was also infected by the sea of flowers in the garden, Long Jingming smiled with a spring breeze on his face, and said "flat" in a good mood, so that all the young powerful young talents can temporarily put aside their identity scruples tonight, just have fun. If there is a person who loves two people, as long as he dares to show it in public, he can give marriage on the spot.
As soon as these words came out, many people who were rushing to take the opportunity to find a good match cheered and thanked.
