Chapter Seventy-Eight: The Banquet (Part 1)
Chapter Seventy-Eight: Going to the Feast
At this time, a soothing sound of footsteps came, and after a while, a woman's manly and tall voice came with a cry of surprise, "Eighth brother? ”
Then, a tall, tall and well-fitted girl, with a round face and big eyes, and a healthy pale brown color with white skin, swept in like a gust of wind. She hurriedly rushed to the front of Gongzi Jingling, only to take a moment, stand still less than half a meter away from him, look up at him, her eyes were full of tears, and she shouted again with great joy: "Eighth brother! ”
This girl is the princess Wei Luo once met. She now knows that this is the thirteenth princess of Jin, and she has married Wen Shi, a doctor of Sanlu, a year ago, under the arrangement of the prince of Jingling.
A princess like her usually marries into another country and becomes one of the wives of a prince or prince. The thirteenth princess of Jin is a famous beauty in the world, and her beauty has long been famous, and it is impossible for the Marquis of Jin not to think about maximizing her interests.
It seems that this is also the result of the game between the prince of Jingling and the marquis of Jin.
The thirteenth princess raised her head and looked at her eighth brother with great joy, her voice choked in her throat for a long time, and she still only choked out two words. "Eighth brother!"
Jing Ling was a little amused, he reached out and patted her on the shoulder, Shi Shiran sat back on the collapse, and then, he shook the empty wine bottle at Wei Luo.
Wei Luo hurriedly stepped forward, leaned on a place half a meter away from him, carefully and respectfully held the pot and poured wine, and with the muddy yellow wine bubbling in, the thirteenth princess turned her eyes to look at Wei Luo and looked at it.
This was the first time the two had met after two and a half years, and the thirteenth princess obviously didn't recognize Wei Luolai. She stared vigilantly at Wei Luo's inky jade-like eyes, turned her head to Jingling Gongzi and asked, "Eighth brother, this son?" ”
Jing Ling didn't answer, but the internal historian who was holding a note of Wei Luo's new identity stepped forward and bowed down and replied: "Thirteenth princess, this son was just named a third-class diner and a personal minister by Gongzi. ”
"A personal servant?"
The thirteenth princess's already round eyes widened at this moment, she stared at Wei Luo in disbelief, turned to Jingling Gongzi, Sakura's lips moved, and seeing that he had a calm face and did not intend to answer, she swallowed the question again.
The thirteenth princess looked at Wei Luolai seriously, and stared at her until she finished pouring the wine, stepped back and stood still, then she retracted her gaze and turned to the prince of Jingling.
She picked up the wine bottle that a maid had just filled for her, protected it with both hands, took a small sip, and asked, "Eighth brother, I heard that my father set up a banquet for you in the palace to catch the wind and wash the dust, don't you want to go?" ”
Gongzi Jingling leaned up slightly behind him, and said lazily: "How did you know? ”
The thirteenth princess said with a smile: "After the little sister heard that the eighth brother had returned, she hurried back to Xintian. Just now I met two envoys on the road, and they were very happy to see the little sister, and they came close to complain, so the little sister knew about it. ”
Jingling Gongzi smiled faintly, seeing his smile like this, the thirteenth princess couldn't help leaning forward, first looked at his face dizzily for a while, and then said, "Eighth brother, tonight's banquet?" ”
Jing Ling smiled, got up slowly, and said, "Since the thirteen princesses have come to persuade them, they should go." ”
In an instant, the thirteenth princess was stunned, and her eyes showed infinite surprise.
Wei Luo glanced at the indifferent face of the prince of Jingling on the side, his mouth flattened slightly, and secretly thought: "I'm cheating again, this guy must have been preparing to go a long time ago." ”
It's also strange to say, she cheated by herself, and Wei Luo always thought it should be. But Jingling deceived with words, and she felt that he was too cunning and too excessive! If his means and identity are imposing, he can't resist without defrauding others, and he still has to deceive. On top of that, he always cheats on himself.
When the maids heard that the prince of Jingling was preparing to go to the banquet, they saw that at this moment, the sun had sunk to the horizon and the lanterns began to hang up, so they were stunned: In such a hurry, there is no time to bathe and change clothes.
As soon as the prince of Jingling said a word, he left the floor and turned around to go, he took two steps, turned his head to look at the thirteenth princess, and said with a light smile: "Aren't you going to the banquet?" Why hesitate? ”
The thirteenth princess stood up gracefully, she walked beside Jingling, looked up at him, and said in a tone of great reverence: "Yes! She looked at the prince of Jingling and thought secretly: In this world, only my eighth brother, the prince, after hearing the call of the prince and the marquis, will go if he wants to, and if he wants to go, he will not go, even if he has not bathed and changed clothes.
After walking less than ten steps, several maids and maids had hurriedly approached, and they surrounded the prince of Jingling, put on a robe for him, and changed another jade belt inlaid with gold and jade, which looked magnificent, and pinned a gorgeous sword also inlaid with gold and jade to his waist.
When Jingling changed into shoes with two night pearls on his head, the whole person had a new look!
Wei Luo looked at these maids with admiration, and secretly thought: They may have guessed that Jingling will still go to the banquet tonight, and these things have already been prepared on one side.
Otherwise, it wouldn't have come so quickly.
After everything was ready, Prince Jingling was already dressed as a typical crown prince.
When he stepped away, Wei Luo hesitated, quietly tilted his head, glanced at his face from his side, saw him glancing coldly at him, and hurriedly quickened his pace and followed behind him.
When the group came to the square outside the main courtyard, the carriage drivers, swordsmen, and diners were all waiting on the side. This made Wei Luo have to sigh at their speed again.
Everyone got into the carriage, and Wei Luo was the newly appointed personal minister, so he naturally got into the carriage of the prince of Jingling and traveled with him. When she stepped into the carriage, the thirteenth princess, who was already sitting in another gorgeous carriage, stretched out her head and looked at Wei Luo closely for a long time.
The swordsman on horseback opened the way, the carriage moved, and after a while, he went out of the palace gate and came to Xintian Street.
Poor Wei Luo, who went out of this mansion two or three years ago, is now seeing everything fresh. Therefore, she sat quietly on her knees, her upper body straight, her hands resting peacefully on her knees, and her eyes flickering through the curtain to look at the passers-by outside.
As the last rays of the sun faded, a layer of night fog began to appear between heaven and earth, and torches burned in the streets, and countless lanterns fluttered.
Looking at the young girls and men walking on the street, laughing and scolding each other, Wei Luo couldn't help but show a glimmer of envy: this reminded her of the time when the school was out of school before, when everyone rushed out of the classroom door, wasn't it so happy?
Along the way, Gongzi Jingling has been closing his eyes and recuperating, and has always ignored Wei Luo. Gradually, the convoy drove into the main road of the Jin Palace. The carriages on the main road were crowded and crowded and lined up for a long time, but all the carriages, after seeing the carriage of the prince of Jingling, all retreated to the sides and respectfully waited for him to go first.
Therefore, their carriage can be said to be unimpeded, and it will appear in the Jin Palace after a while. In the carriage at the back of the side, the thirteenth princess was sticking out her head and greeting everyone frequently, and her somewhat high-pitched laughter was endless.
