Chapter 52: The Banquet is in Danger 2
"It's about to start, let's go!" A pleasant female voice of pushing and shoving was heard, and a sparse crowd passed by their hiding place.
"Hey, Ah Lan, Ah Zi, why are you hiding here?!" The hiding place was suddenly opened, and it was a woman in yellow, holding Xia Ji's arm, dragging Shi'er and shouting, "Even if you hide here, you don't know that there is a shortage of people now?!" ”
Xia Ji didn't speak, and in the blink of an eye, he was dragged by the woman in yellow into the group of Yanyan, as soon as Shi'er was dragged out and looked up at the woman in yellow, she opened her mouth in surprise and was about to shout Xia Ji, but she was pushed into the team by this woman.
The change was in an instant, and as soon as Xia Ji wanted to act, he was surrounded by a group of helpless and fragrant girls, and Shi'er was squeezed behind him, "Sister! ”
Shi'er pushed and pushed, and finally got close to Xia's body, and hurriedly said, "That... The woman in yellow is the maid on our ox cart! ”
Xia Ji was also stunned when she heard this, and then looked back at the woman in yellow who was still dragging her arm, only to find that she had long since disappeared.
It seemed that this secret method was no longer available, Xia Ji sighed and asked, "What are they doing here?" ”
I saw Shi'er's face be strange for a while, "She... They seem to be there to dance. A few days ago, she was still a singer, so she naturally knew what they were going to do, and she was naturally not afraid of this kind of scene when she had done it herself, but ......
She looked at Xia Ji......
Xia Ji raised her eyebrows, is the woman in yellow trying to harm her?
But the two are incompatible, and Xia Ji has never seen her, so how can she talk about revenge? Xia Ji was annoyed that he didn't take care of the people around him on the ox cart before.
But who would have thought that the fault would come from one of the people on the ox cart?
Xia Ji patted Shi'er, signaling her to feel at ease, and in a blink of an eye, she saw that the surroundings were already on the side of the main hall, and it was even more impossible to fight, so it seemed that she could only improvise.
On the surface, she was calm, but she knew how panicked she was. A decent lady can barely be deserved, as long as she has a cold face, she can handle a dry person, but dancing like this kabuki, how can she, who has been a great general and a princess, suddenly learn to dance?!
--
High Terrace Pavilion, Beauty Palace Room.
The entire palace building is built on a high platform, overlooking the earth and the clouds.
The timber-framed building on it is a stable structure with a complex combination of sizes, and the bright red color is much richer than the gray stone and yellow thatch seen before, and the terrain is extraordinarily open, making it more tall and majestic.
Many nobles in the Chen Kingdom, including Dr. Kong Ning and Uncle Xia Yu, were already sitting cross-legged at the low table under the main hall, waiting boredly for Chen Ling to speak openly, only occasionally glancing at the handsome and silent young man.
And Gongzi sat squarely on the left side of Chen Linggong, with a hint of impatience in his eyes, as if it was just a perfunctory banquet for such a banquet.
Chen Lingcheng sat above, looking at the black and oppressive ministers and staff below with a smile in his eyes, with a little smug in his heart, and occasionally glanced at the side of the prince with a show off in his eyes.
He coughed and said loudly: "You don't have to be formal, you don't have to talk about business today, today the prince is traveling around my country, and everyone can drink happily before the banquet!" ”
"No!" Everyone stood up, bowed to Chen Linggong, and then sat down again, raised their heads and drank, and the banquet was suddenly jubilant.
Watson stood up, picked up the flask and poured a glass in front of his own wine glass, and walked to Childe's side, who seemed to have a sense to look up at Watchen.
The two are also in their prime, a dark black brocade dress is silent and handsome, and a navy blue plain dress is rigorous, standing together at this time is particularly eye-catching, and the two talk and laugh Yan Yan is extremely harmonious in the eyes of outsiders.
But the truth is ......
"Childe's side, it really lives up to its name!" Watson smiled and bent his elbows slightly, holding the wine glass very elegantly, and looked at Childe's side.
Gongzi smiled faintly, "Mr. Ting's accent seems to be from the Chu State, I don't know what is the matter with staying in this Chen State?" Childe didn't answer what he said just now, and his eyes narrowed slightly.
This time he came to Chen Guo, firstly, he found out that Xia Ji said that the princess of Zheng Guo had married to Chen Guo, and secondly, he found a trace of unprocessed traces, so he followed the traces to find Chen Guo, and this banquet was inevitable.
"Childe travels around the world, and has some fun, but Qu is not allowed to find it?" Watchen asked rhetorically, but he admitted the identity of the Chu people and did not panic.
"That's what the gentleman said." Childe smiled sideways, "But it seems that Mr. has been staying in Xia Mansion?" He smiled and pressed closely.
Watson brushed his sleeves and smiled leisurely, "Gongzi only arrived in Chen Country yesterday, how can he inquire so clearly?" Could it be that Chu Guo ...... "The rest of the words are self-evident: You came quietly a few days ago, and you inquired so clearly, and now it is the identity of Sima of Chu State, isn't it that Chu State wants to take action against Chen Guo?" I'm suspicious, don't even want to pick it up so clearly!
The palm of the palms under the big sleeves of the dark wide robe on the side of the prince was slightly held, but his face was not obvious, and he said with a smile: "Mr. said that it was funny, you and I naturally don't have to see each other." ”
"Yes, yes." Watson arched his hand, raised his head and drank the wine in his glass, glanced at Childe slowly, and returned to his seat.
Uncle Xia, who was keeping an eye on the movements of the two, saw Watchen coming, hurriedly stepped forward, held a glass of wine to block the sight of others, and asked, "Sir, how is it?" ”
"Not how." Watson glanced at Uncle Xia Yu with a smile, and continued to drink by himself with his head down, without looking at Gongzi again.
Uncle Xia Yu was embarrassed, and he didn't know whether this 'how' meant that the son's side was not good or the question he asked was not how, so he could only sit down gloomily. The occasional glance at Childe's side to see what was different about him was enough to make people panic.
Gongzi naturally noticed the gaze of the other side, and looked up, the middle-aged man with beautiful sideburns and complicated eyes sat next to Watchen, this person seemed to be Uncle Xia Yu.
He raised his wine glass, looked at Uncle Xia Yu from afar, and raised his head to drink.
Uncle Xia Yu glanced around, and after confirming that it was him, he also looked at Childe's side in surprise, but soon he returned to his senses, raised his wine glass and smiled slightly and saluted Childe's side.
After Uncle Xia finished drinking, he turned his head slightly and said to Mo Bai, who was sitting behind him: "Ji Mo is afraid, the son's side doesn't seem to be as terrible as you say." ”
Hearing Uncle Xia speak, Mo Bai, who was sitting on the couch, just gently pulled the hem of Uncle Xia's back and didn't answer.
Mo Bai, who was covered with a veil, took advantage of the block of Uncle Xia Yu's body, peeked at the side of the son, his palms clenched, and thought that this side of the son was really a talent, but it was a pity that he didn't understand the amorous feelings, and he didn't have the heart to pity the fragrance and cherish the jade.
She sat alone in the shadows and wandered alone, silently remembering the description of him in the book: "Silent as this, but it is so vast and inclusive of the world, and Xia Ji here does not belong to him." So, he struggled and fell silent. ”
