This Wenyuan son, if it weren't for the fact that he couldn't save the face of King Rui, I am afraid that he would not be willing to come to this kind of banquet in the cold weather.

New Year's Day, a group of people sit in the cold wind and empty banquet living room, you come and I go back and forth and the snake push the cup to change the lamp, this meal can not be eaten as soon as it is on the table, and you have to wait for the banquet to eat, such weather, it will be cold after a while, and it is not easy to start the banquet, the chopsticks have not stretched out before someone toasts, and you have to put down the money and pick up the cup to drink.

Thinking of these, Cheng Xi was a little envious, and even more missed the days of celebrating the New Year in Lihua Village, his family happily gathered around the table, roasting charcoal fires, eating hot meals, without any scruples, he could talk and laugh casually, but he didn't know how many times more comfortable than this banquet.

Cheng Xi was sitting in Xu Sanlang's position, thinking wildly, and a voice sounded in the hall, "See the prince." ”

Cheng Xi heard the movement, hurriedly stood up and followed Shi Li, and when he looked up, he saw King Rui coming in from the door with Princess Rui, followed by Ge Shu and Zhao Yu.

King Rui raised his hand slightly, and replied with a smile, "You don't have to be polite, let's all take a seat." ”

"Thank you, Lord Wang."

Although King Rui said this, everyone did not take their seats first, but waited until King Rui took the first seat, and then everyone sat down one after another.

After King Rui took his seat, it was the same as the previous banquet, with speeches like speeches, thanks and blessings, and everyone raised their glasses and drank together, and then the banquet began.

said it was a banquet, but it was not eating, but toasting back and forth and saying congratulations, it was really boring for you to sing and let us appear.

Cheng Xi tried hard to keep a smile on his face, the more he sat in the colder weather, he really felt that his face was stiff with a smile, he originally wanted to drink some wine to warm up his body, but thinking about his own amount of alcohol, he couldn't make anything to make Xu Saburo lose people, so he finally gave up.

After a round of wine and toasting, no one continued to step forward, Cheng Xi breathed a sigh of relief, and he didn't want someone to suddenly say at this time, "Lord Wang, although this eldest prince has been exiled for many years, he is also a veritable eldest son, and he also made great contributions in order to regain the Great Zhou Dynasty from the Murong family, and now he is in such a situation, he is really a little wronged." ”

Someone comes out, and someone follows suit, "Yes, it stands to reason that the position of the prince should also be the eldest son." ”

"You can't say that, His Royal Highness the Prince of the World was a hostage under the nose of Murong Dog Thief for the sake of Jiangnan, isn't this credit not big enough?"

"Then he is also from Rui Wangfu, in order to save the second son, isn't it more aggrieved that the eldest son was sent to such a remote countryside to suffer?"

……

may have been drunk, and it seems that these people are also bold, so in front of Ruiwang Geshu and Xu Sanlang, they discussed the question of who should be in the position of the prince.

However, the first King Rui was expressionless, sipping the wine lightly, as if the matter discussed by these people was none of his business.

Cheng Xi looked at the situation on the field, frowned slightly, approached Xu Sanlang, and whispered in Xu Sanlang's ear, "What's the matter with these people who help you speak?" Isn't it, isn't it ......?"

After Cheng Xi finished speaking, Xu Sanlang responded in a low voice, "What are you thinking about?" I don't have the energy or the mind, maybe Ge Shu has offended someone before, or an official sent by the imperial court, I'm afraid that my heart is towards the one in the capital, and I want to take the opportunity to create some contradictions between our brothers. ”

Cheng Xi opened his mouth in slight surprise, "Huh? There are actually people from the capital here? Isn't this Jiangnan also safe? ”

Xu Sanlang whispered, "Don't worry about it, if they can pose a threat to Jiangnan, they can't sit here properly, since these people can sit here, it must be useful to Jiangnan, such as passing on some useful news about Jiangnan." ”

Cheng Xi heard Xu Saburo mention this, and he understood a little bit in his heart, and then paid attention to the few people who helped Xu Saburo speak, and found that there were only a few people back and forth, and there seemed to be so many people who raised the bar with them, but the others were silent, as if they didn't care about what they said, and even the person on the opposite side, Ge Shu, was busy biting his ears with Yu'er on the side, making Yu'er laugh.

Looking at it like this, Cheng Xi felt that those few were like clowns jumping off the beam, making noise for a long time, and the others didn't react at all.

Cheng Xi pursed his mouth speechlessly, and said to Xu Sanlang on the side, "When can we leave?" ”

I didn't want Xu Saburo to suddenly answer, "Let's go now." ”

Then Xu Saburo stood up, clasped his fists and saluted to the first King Rui and said, "Lord Wang, the insiders are not strong enough to drink, and they are very drunk, can the grass people retire first and send the insiders back to rest?" ”

Cheng Xi was slightly stunned when she heard Xu Saburo say that she was not strong enough to drink, and quickly reacted and lay on the table, and the corners of everyone's eyes twitched when they looked at her reaction, don't pretend to be drunk so obviously, okay, pretend to be good before you speak.

But of course, no one will debunk this kind of thing, just watch quietly, as if they were blind and didn't see anything.

The blacker faces are those who are still discussing who should be the heir to the throne, they are working hard to discuss who is suitable to be the heir, this party actually got up to leave, and why is it not the father but the prince? Why do you still call yourself a grass people? This is not to admit his identity as the eldest prince of the Rui Wangfu? It's like a slap in the face.

Xu Saburo can't control so much, and is still waiting for the reply of the first Shangrui Wang, Rui Wang and Rui Princess Rui also saw Cheng Xi's small actions, such a banquet, Princess Rui actually didn't like it at all, seeing Cheng Xi's actions, she only felt cute and funny, and when she heard Xu Saburo call himself a grass citizen, she felt a little sad in her heart.

However, King Rui was very satisfied with Xu Saburo's actions, someone helped him speak, and fought for him for the position of the son, but he suddenly came to such a few words, and also broke off the relationship with the Rui Wangfu, did not want to win over those people, and slapped those people in the face like this, which shows that he does not care about the identity of the son of the world, which is also what he expects, what he thinks in his heart, or the position of the son of the son, not growing up in the countryside, although he has some skills, but he does not understand the world, and does not look at him in the eyes of the eldest son.

Then he heard the king of Derui speak, "Yes." ”

The answer was succinct, without a single superfluous word.

After that, Xu Sanlang helped up Cheng Xi, who was pretending to be drunk, and Aunt Qin hugged the dozing hundred-year-old and walked to the door, Xiaoshi and Ah Wu also hurriedly followed.

When he went out, Cheng Xi stood up straight and took a deep breath, took a deep breath and said, "It's finally out, let's go back quickly and get something to eat again." ”

Aunt Qin behind her responded with a smile, "Don't worry, the slave maid has already arranged it, so that the girls in our yard can prepare food in the small kitchen, and the master and wife will go back and use it." ”

Cheng Xi said happily, "It's still Aunt Qin's thoughtfulness and leaving." ”

After speaking, he took the lead and went to his own small courtyard, and before he could take a few steps, someone chased after him, but it was Wen Yuan Gongzi who came out of the banquet hall with his guards.

Quickly catching up with Cheng Xi and them, Gongzi Wen Yuan said, "It turns out that you have prepared additional food?" But you don't have to be hungry, it's really troublesome to toss like this New Year. ”

After sending out his feelings, he said to the guards behind him, "You go back and see if Ruyu is asleep, and if he doesn't sleep, he will also be taken to Xu Gongzi's side." ”

After speaking, he turned to Xu Sanlang and Cheng Xi and urged, "Let's go." ”

Cheng Xi said as he walked forward, "You're not polite at all!" ”

Gongzi Wen Yuan did not return to Cheng Xi, but only laughed a few times.

It was cold outside this night, and several people sped up their pace, and when they arrived at the door of the small courtyard where Cheng Xi and the others lived, the fragrance of food was indeed wafting inside.

couldn't wait to enter the door, and there was a waiting maid who said, "I've seen the eldest young master and the eldest young lady." ”

Cheng Xi waved his hand and urged, "Is it the meal you prepared?" Hurry up and send it over. ”

The maid bowed and went in the direction of the kitchen.

A few people sat down in the main hall, and the hundred years old were also awakened along the way, and Aunt Qin gave the hundred years old to Xiao Shi in her arms, and then said, "The slave maid went to prepare the charcoal fire." ”

Staying in the banquet hall for so long, everyone was cold enough, so Cheng Xi nodded and asked Aunt Qin to prepare more.

After that, he beckoned Xiao Shi and Ah Wu on the side, "Don't stand here, come and sit quickly." ”

Ah Wu and the master at the same table more, but it was not awkward at all, and after listening to Cheng Xi's instructions, he went over and sat down, but the little poem on the side, holding the hundred-year-old and hesitating, watched Ah Wu sit down, and then cautiously went over and sat down next to him.

Baisui is also well-behaved, and after Xiaoshi sat down, he came down by himself and went to Cheng Xi's side to sit down, Cheng Xi reached out and tightened the small cloak on Baisui's body, and said with a smile, "Hungry, right?" After a while, the food will come. ”

The hundred-year-old nodded obediently, he had already slept once, but he was not so sleepy at this time, and he was just waiting for the food to be delivered with an expectant face.

Seeing Xiao Shi's uncomfortable face, Cheng Xi responded with a smile, "Why are you so restrained?" No one will eat you at the same table with us, for the New Year, don't have a bitter gourd face, be happy. ”

Xiao Shi listened to Cheng Xi's words, thinking about the usual attitude of his wife towards their subordinates, but slowly relaxed.

After a while, Aunt Qin came over with a charcoal brazier and put it under the table, and the maids brought hot and hearty meals one after another.

After delivering the meal, Cheng Xi sent the subordinates who were still going to guard and wait, and let them go down by themselves to have a good New Year's meal.

beckoned Aunt Qin to sit down too, Aunt Qin was not like a little poem, she seemed much more comfortable.

After a while, Ruyu also came over, beckoned Ruyu to sit down beside him, Wenyuan Gongzi was not polite at all, he had already heard the lively situation of the guard Ah Long and their wing, and directly sent his guards over there.

Cheng Xi looked at the sumptuous meal on the table, and then looked at the smiling people at the table, and said happily, "This is what the New Year's dinner should look like, come on, move the chopsticks, and fill your stomach first." ”
