(4) Receiving the wind and banquet
"Childe came all the way for the main hall, the main hall is really happy, come on, come on, please take a seat."
It is probably because of the southerly location of Boyan Country, so although it is not yet March, it already makes people feel warm. Therefore, although Lian Qingjue, who has always been afraid of cold, has only recuperated for three or four days, he feels a lot more comfortable. So tonight, he, together with Yang Qingwei and Fan Yao, came to the Yuyue Hall where Yan Xige held a reception banquet for the three of them as promised.
"Thank you, Your Highness."
Lian Qingjue and the three of them sat down in turn under the guidance of the maid, and then behind the screen on the side, there were servants playing a pleasant rhythm, and there were maids who brought dishes with extremely exquisite methods and appearances.
"You're welcome."
On the first seat, Yan Xige picked up the wine glass and looked at Lian Qingjue and the others.
"This first cup of wine, this hall thanks you all for coming from afar."
"Your Highness is gracious."
Letting the maid fill the wine glass on her table, Lian Qingjue and the three of them raised their wine glasses, and after Yan Xige drank a glass of wine, they also drank the wine in each cup.
"This second cup, I hope that Lian Gongzi's body will recover soon."
"Thank you, Your Highness."
Drinking one cup of wine again, Yan Xige then raised the third glass of wine.
"This third cup, I hope that the next three will work together with the main hall to achieve great things."
"Yes."
After the three glasses of wine were exhausted, Yan Xige signaled slightly, and a dancer dressed in enchanting clothes came and danced with the sound of music in the open space in the middle.
At this time, Lian Qingjue felt a little unwell because his body had not healed, and he drank alcohol one after another.
"Childe ......"
Fan Yao, who had been secretly paying attention to Lian Qingjue, saw his son-in-law holding his forehead, so he whispered with some concern.
"It's fine."
Yang Qingwei, who was also looking at him with a trace of worry on his face, shook his head, and even Qingjue just wanted to ask the maid behind him to pour him some tea, but saw Shangguan Yanyue, who had just been sitting silently beside Yan Xige, suddenly walked to his table.
"Lian Gongzi."
Although the candle flame was flickering and a little dim, Shangguan Xuanyue still found that Lian Qingjue's face was a little wrong, and he was secretly happy in his heart, with a chuckle on his face that did not reach the bottom of his eyes.
"I have long heard that Lian Gongzi is resourceful and unparalleled, and he is deeply valued by the emperor of Yuguo, and this time I am fortunate to be able to work with Lian Gongzi, Yan Yue really feels honored. So this glass of wine, Yan Yue respects the son. ”
"Shangguan Gongzi has won the award."
Lian Qingjue glanced at the wine handed by the maid, although the wine was not in his mouth, but the smell of this wine was obviously stronger than the three glasses he drank just now.
"Shangguan Gongzi, my son-in-law is not ......"
"What? Is Lian Gongzi unwilling to give Yan Yue this face? ”
Fan Yao on the side saw Shangguan Xuanyue's ill-intentioned appearance and wanted to stop him, but was directly ignored by Shangguan Xuanyue.
"...... of the Flames"
Yan Yu Geben on the first seat saw Shangguan Yanyue's movements early in the morning, but because he didn't know what he wanted to do, he also went to find Lian Qingjue. But at this time, because of Fan Yao's voice, and then looking at Lian Qingjue, although the corners of his lips were smiling, his brows were slightly furrowed, Yan Xige felt for the first time that Shangguan Yanyue, who had always known the overall situation, was so willful.
"Your Highness, Yan Yue just came to toast Lian Gongzi because she admired Lian Gongzi."
Listening to Yan Yuge's somewhat displeased voice, Shangguan Xuanyue was a little surprised in his heart, but then it turned into anger towards Lian Qingjue, and His Royal Highness had never spoken to him in such a tone.
"Hehe, Shangguan Gongzi is too worried."
Quietly gave Fan Yao and Yang Qingwei a look, Lian Qingjue picked up the wine glass and drank the glass of spirits.
"Haha, Lian Gongzi is really a bold person."
Shangguan Yanyue wanted to continue toasting, but in the end he was afraid that Yan Xige would really be angry with him, so he rolled his sleeves and returned to his seat. And this feast ended in the different minds of everyone.
……
"Childe, how are you?"
At the end of the feast, when it was approaching, when Lian Qingjue and the three of them resigned from Yan Xige and returned to the Xiangxiang Courtyard, as soon as they entered the house, Lian Qingjue almost fell to the ground, which frightened Fan Yao and Yang Qingwei to quickly help him to the bed, and then pour hot tea and take the quilt.
"Ahem...... All right. ”
After drinking two sips of hot tea and wrapping the quilt tightly for a while, Lian Qingjue slowly raised his head and looked at the two people in front of the bed with worried faces.
"It's okay, you go and rest."
"Childe, do you want to take some medicine?"
Looking at his son-in-law's cheeks, although they were a little rosy, Fan Yao also knew that it was because of the strength of the wine.
"No need."
Lian Qingjue handed the cup to Fan Yao. Yang Qingwei, who had been standing on the side, was silent, but suddenly spoke.
"Mr. Qin once said that this medicine is more powerful, and with the body of the son, you can't eat more."
"Of course I do."
Although since leaving Yu Kingdom, this Yang Qingwei has been very responsible and loyal, but because Feng Yusheng forced Lian Qingjue to come to this Yan Country with Gu Caizhi, Fan Yao can be said to have lost half of his good impression of Feng Yusheng, and this Yang Qingwei happens to be the most trusted person by Feng Yusheng, so Fan Yao really doesn't like this Yang Qingwei at all.
"Guard Yang is right."
Lian Qingjue chuckled, how could he not understand Fan Yao's thoughts. However, after a few days of contact, he can be sure that even if Feng Yusheng had instructed him to let him spy on him before Yang Qingwei came, he was not a villain who played right and wrong and made something out of nothing.
"Son, you ......"
"I'm fine, it's just that the wine was too strong."
Lian Qingjue closed his eyes slightly.
"My subordinates think that Yan Xige is a decent gentleman, but that Shangguan Yanyue seems to have been hostile to us since the day we first came."
"Hehe, it's just unfounded."
Although he hadn't met Yan Xige and Shangguan Xuanyue a few times in the past few days, according to his own observations, coupled with listening to the maids in the mansion chewing on the root of their tongues, Lian Qingjue had already understood the relationship between them.
"Worrying about the sky?"
Fan Yao was puzzled, but he didn't think much about explaining too much when he saw that Gongzi was a child, so he glanced at Yang Qingwei and walked out quietly.
