Chapter 133, Private Banquet Farewell (1)
The day before Zhou Tianhe set off for the tour, he set up a private banquet with only two tables in the mansion and invited his two younger brothers and a few close people to have a meal.
Qin Song and Shen Suyu also received invitations, but when they sat down around the round table, except for Zhou Tianyi and Zhou Tianmu, the others invited by His Royal Highness King Ping all brought their wives to the banquet, Qin Song and Shen Suyu looked at each other with strange expressions, as if they were sitting on pins and needles.
Miss Qin's family is also forgotten, she is the lord of the emperor's Qinfeng, and she can also take a brother and sister with His Royal Highness King Ping, Zhou Tianhe's friends were surprised by the woman sitting next to His Royal Highness King An, they had never seen her in Jingzhou, and they didn't know why she could appear at this private banquet.
"Third brother, I'm late!" Zhou Tianse's voice came from outside the door, and her person had already appeared at the door, dressed in emerald color to make her water and lovely, she squeezed between Zhou Tianyi and Qin Song without restraint, and after squeezing out a place for her, she smiled successfully at her ninth brother.
"You girl, you don't sit next to you, what are you doing here with me?" was unforgiving, but Zhou Tianyi had already moved his position and sat on the stool originally reserved for Zhou Tianse.
"The third brother hasn't decided on a seat yet, I want to sit with Sister Qin and talk for a while!" Zhou Tianse looked straightforward, but after bluffing her ninth brother, she didn't stare at Qin Song directly, but looked at Shen Suyu, who was sitting on the other side of the round table and beside Zhou Tianmu, "That is Sister Shen, right?" Zhou Tianse saw this girl who was brought back to Beijing and Zhou by the sixth brother for the first time, and his eyes were full of curiosity.
"Shen Suyu, a folk girl, has seen Her Royal Highness the Princess." was named, Shen Suyu got up and nodded, calmly.
Zhou Tianse smiled back politely, as if she said hello, she pulled Qin Song's sleeve under the table again, and asked in a low voice, "Sister Qin, is this Miss Shen really just a woman from the rivers and lakes?" Her question came from Shen Suyu's demeanor, getting up in the middle of a table of guests and not attracting the attention of the vast majority of people, which is very difficult to do in etiquette, that is, the children of the family who look at the four directions, there are only a few people who can have such qualities.
Zhou Tianse's change in Shen Suyu's name made Qin Song slightly stunned, but she had been to Shen Suyu's house, and it was normal for a woman from such a noble mansion to have such manners. Qin Song didn't answer Zhou Tianse directly, but asked jokingly: "If it weren't for that, how could you get into the eyes of His Royal Highness King An?" After that, I felt that Zhou Tianse seemed to ask a little more today, and said, "What's wrong?" Don't you like Su Yu? ”
"I don't like it, I can't say, I'm just curious." Zhou Tianse smiled "hehe", to tell the truth, in addition to the rumors in Beijing and Zhou, she also heard Wang Junting say that her sixth brother brought back such a girl, and when she saw it today, it was far from what she imagined, and she was really shocked, she always thought that the sixth brother who liked to wander around the people must be the type of pride in the rivers and lakes.
"What are you two muttering?"
Zhou Tianse was still pulling Qin Song to talk about his opinion of Shen Suyu, and Zhou Tianyi's voice came from above his head, "Girl, it's getting more and more unruly, change your position back!" "My sister gets along with Qin Song closely, Zhou Tianyi is happy to see it, but there are many ladies with orders at the private banquet, they look at their sister's eyes and obviously want to talk to her, Tianse is a princess, don't ask her to be impartial in the face, but you still have to pay attention to it.
"Don't change!" Zhou Tianse turned around and pursed his lips and looked at Zhou Tianyi with blinking eyes, if she didn't move, the ninth brother couldn't take her, right? You can't pick her up like a kitten in public, right? That's a shame.
The brother and sister were on the bar, Qin Song's gaze crossed Zhou Tianse and glanced at Zhou Tianyi, was he actually asked for help? She had no choice but to think of a reason temporarily, patted Zhou Tianse's back and gently persuaded her: "Tianse, His Royal Highness King Ping will leave Beijing tomorrow." ”
"That's it, I'm leaving tomorrow, and it will take two months to say the least, shouldn't you care about the third brother?" Zhou Tianhe sat close to Zhou Tianyi, and also echoed him, he naturally likes this little sister, but since he helped Zhou Tianlei, he is not only busy with affairs, but he is also walking on thin ice, plus Zhou Tianse has a princess mansion outside the palace, and his contact with his sister has decreased unconsciously.
"Third brother, you and the ninth brother are in the same group!" Zhou Tianse complained, the person had already gotten up and walked around Zhou Tianhe, the third brother was long, and the third brother was short.
"Or you have a way."
"No wonder you all treat her so well."
After Zhou Tianyi sat back in his place, Qin Song and him looked at each other and sighed at the same time.
"Tianse has no mother since she was a child, we do let her more, and she is also likable." Zhou Tianyi explained one more sentence, when there was tension between their brothers, Zhou Tianse, who could spin in front of any imperial brother, became the best buffer, his father died, and the contradiction of seizing the throne did not break out in an instant, and she also had her credit.
Qin Song smiled, where is this a little bit of a favor, this is a favor to the sky.
"Ladies and gentlemen." After everyone sat down, Zhou Tianhe, as the host, got up with a wine glass and said: "This king has thanked you for coming to the banquet today, and thank you for your assistance to this king on weekdays. ”
Zhou Tianhe drank all the wine in the cup, and the private banquet officially began.
This private banquet has no constraints on form, identity, and rank, and the people who come to the banquet are all people who have nothing to do with Zhou Tianlei, so the atmosphere in the room is very relaxed and comfortable. Although Zhou Tianyi and Zhou Tianmu couldn't show their friendly attitude too obviously, they also avoided possible conflict topics as much as possible, and only talked about marginal issues and unrelated political affairs.
When the feast was in full swing, even the seats were not fixed, and the guests gathered together in twos and threes, chatting casually.
"Come here, you and the third sister-in-law also talked for a while, she is ......" Zhou Tianyi took advantage of no one to pay attention and pulled Qin Song to his side, and he didn't know how to ask, so he dragged his voice out. Huang Haichao entered the banquet late, saying that she was unwell, but her strong spirit and haggard appearance was more likely to have suffered some mental accident than her body.
Originally, he wouldn't ask much about his brother's back house, but it was not a way for his third brother and Huang Haichao to be so stiff.
Qin Song frowned, and she didn't figure out what Zhou Tianyi was solemnly trying to ask, but she repeated Huang Haichao's words in a general way, "The princess said that there has been a bit of commotion in the mansion recently, her energy is a little lacking, and her body is a little weak. ”
The doubts on Zhou Tianyi's face deepened, the third brother's house has always been very peaceful, and Huang Haichao is not a little girl who has no means, can she still deal with the little things in the back house?
"Tianyi, the third brother accepted two side concubines some time ago, and the third sister-in-law is afraid that it will be difficult." Zhou Tianmu was behind Zhou Tianyi, heard his brother's words, immediately turned around and suppressed his voice and said, he also knew, when he just heard the third brother calmly tell him, he was still shocked, but after thinking about it, he felt that it was nothing, the other high-ranking concubines were in a group, his third brother was a prince, thirty years old and had no heirs, just two side concubines, who would gossip?
“…… If Yan Rong's sister-in-law hadn't had that incident, the third brother Xu would not have accepted the side concubine. Zhou Tianyi held his breath after hearing this, and finally could only sigh silently, Huang Yanrong was poisoned by someone when she was pregnant, not only miscarried, but also went to the third brother in the end, which hit the third brother very hard.
Not long after, Zhou Tianlei stuffed Huang Haichao into the Pingwang Mansion, Zhou Tianhe has always believed that Huang Haichao is inseparable from Huang Yanrong's death, and Huang Haichao is clearly the princess of Ping, and she was at the mercy of Zhou Tianlei at the beginning of entering the door, she is like a pair of eyes, always staring at the movements of the Ping Wangfu, and his third brother has to be extra careful.
Later, the third brother relieved the siege of the Huang family, and the shackles on Huang Haichao's body were gone, this matter should have ended?
Zhou Tianyi felt uneasy no matter how he thought about it, "Sixth brother, I think I have to find an opportunity to ask the third brother what's going on today, the third brother hasn't accepted a side concubine for so many years, and there must be other reasons for the third sister-in-law to suddenly do this." ”
"Also, Mrs. Huang is also our teacher, Huang Yanrong's death, in the final analysis, is inseparable from the fight between our brothers, the third sister-in-law...... If you can, you can protect it. Zhou Tianmu groaned, feeling that his younger brother was reasonable, don't ask about this matter today, if it is after the two-month patrol, maybe Huang Haichao will go to most of his life, and his third brother's side concubine is specifically for Huang Haichao, but it will not be a fuel-efficient lamp.
Zhou Tianmu nodded to Zhou Tianyi, and the two of them took advantage of Zhou Tianhe's time to sober up outside the house, and also sneaked out of the side door for a while.
Zhou Tianhe washed his face in the side hall, and when he went out, he saw the two younger brothers with a worried face, and when he contacted the younger brothers at the banquet, he more or less glanced at Huang Haichao's gaze, and he knew it in his heart, and he didn't need Zhou Tianyi and Zhou Tianmu to ask, he opened his mouth to explain, "Yan Rong's matter has passed, although I have never believed her, but I will not be angry with Haichao again." Yan Rong's death has something to do with her after all, and respecting each other like a guest is already the best I can do. ”
"I just can't figure it out, after I have already helped her to give Huang Jiashan a good time, she doesn't have to be restrained by her second brother anymore, how can she still ......" Speaking of this, Zhou Tianhe became excited, he didn't ease his breath, coughed a few times heavily, he hammered his chest to relieve himself, "Ji Zhongyuan overturned the case for his father, and his mother was wronged, her words are reminding me that if I have other thoughts, she will tell Zhou Tianlei everything, so when you return to Beijing, although the Zhuang Wang case has not reached a substantive result, it is still known to everyone." ”
There are still many things that Zhou Tianhe didn't say, and every bit of the past few years made him feel that his Princess Ping was still doing things for Zhou Tianlei, and only occasionally concealed his movements.
"Tianyi, Tianmu, you know, once you are splashed with dirty water, even if you wash it, it will still leave traces, and the reputation of the mother concubine has been ruined." He has been in Beijing and Zhou all the year round, and for various reasons he can't fulfill his filial piety in front of his mother, and his inability to do anything about the Zhuang Wang case makes him feel even more guilty.
