Chapter 237: There is no good feast
After the court, the ministers gradually walked out of the main hall.
The number of chapters was embraced in the middle by several ministers and stars, and the words of flattery were endless, until the prince Chu Yanzhi, who was wearing a purple court dress, came over, and everyone hurriedly saluted sideways, and said goodbye one after another.
"His Royal Highness the Prince." Zhang Shu raised his hand and saluted Chu Yanzhi.
Chu Yanzhi smiled, "There are no outsiders present here, why should my father-in-law be so polite." ”
Zhang Shu's face froze, "The prince's words are serious. Although Weichen is a military general, he also knows that the courtesy of the monarch and the minister cannot be abolished. ”
After listening to the words of the chapter, the smile on Chu Yanzhi's face did not decrease in the slightest, "Father-in-law should go back tomorrow, right?" ”
"Prince Lao is worried." Zhang Shu said, raised his hand and saluted again, Sihao did not exceed the rules because of Chu Yanzhi's sentence of 'father-in-law'.
After listening to the number of chapters, Chu Yanzhi smiled again, "That being the case, then tonight the palace will hold a banquet in the mansion to see off my father-in-law!" It just so happens that the crown princess also has a lot to say to you. ”
Now that the words have been said for this part, how can the number of chapters be refused, so I have to nod and agree.
It's night.
Chu Yanzhi held a banquet in the East Palace.
Compared with a solemn court dress during the day, tonight, Chu Yanzhi only wore a dark brown regular clothes, and there was no Ling Li in the court during the day between his eyebrows, like an ordinary son-in-law holding a banquet to entertain his father-in-law, but it was just like it, and Zhang Shu would not really think that this thoughtful prince called him over just to have a light meal with his so-called father-in-law.
"Father-in-law is here, sit down." As soon as he saw the number of chapters, Chu Yanzhi greeted him with a smile.
"Father." Zhang Duoer, who was standing next to Chu Yanzhi, was also wearing a light blue regular dress, and only a few ordinary beaded flowers on her sideburns, and she had faded from the heavy makeup on the wedding day, and the princess's face looked too clean, and even a little timid.
"Wechen has seen the crown prince and the crown princess." Zhang Shu raised his hand and saluted the two of them.
When Zhang Shu saluted the crown princess Zhang Duo'er, Zhang Duo'er's face turned pale, and she couldn't help but raise her feet and hide behind Chu Yanzhi.
Zhang Shu's eyebrows frowned slightly, but then he turned his face to look at Chu Yanzhi and smiled at him, "Thank you prince for setting up a banquet tonight for Weichen to practice." ”
Chu Yanzhi didn't seem to notice it, and smiled at Zhang Shu, "Yes, father-in-law, please." ”
Zhang Shu smiled and saluted before taking a seat. He originally thought that Chu Yanzhi's words would hint at him something, but from beginning to end, he only talked about some trivial things that didn't matter, as if it was really just a small talk between Weng and his son-in-law, but this made the number of chapters more vigilant, and he always felt that there were countless undercurrents hidden behind this calmness, and he would fall down if he was not careful.
Glimpsing Zhang Shu's tense expression, Chu Yanzhi pursed his lips and smiled, picked up the wine glass painted with dark paintings on the table and took a sip of wine gently, and then, he looked sideways at the crown princess Zhang Duo'er, who was sitting on the side with an equally nervous expression, and said with a smile, "Why hasn't the princess been talking tonight?" ”
As soon as she heard Chu Yanzhi mention herself, Zhang Duoer's whole body stretched into a string, and her hands subconsciously pulled at the placket of her clothes, and even her voice had an irrepressible trill, "I...... I ......"
"Crown Princess, you are reluctant to let the general leave." The grandmother behind Zhang Duoer answered with a smile.
When Zhang Duoer heard this, she nodded again and again.
The grandmother smiled and blessed Chu Yanzhi, then turned her head to look at Zhang Shu and said with a smile, "General, knowing that you are leaving the capital, the crown princess has always been restless for the past two days, and she ordered someone to prepare gifts early in the morning, including your favorite snacks, so I look forward to your coming." ”
A rare smile appeared on Zhang Shu's hard face, he got up and saluted Zhang Duo'er, and said, "Weichen, thank you for your concern." ”
"No...... Father was polite. Under the gaze of the grandmother, Zhang Duoer got up and returned the salute to the number of chapters in a dignified manner.
"The crown princess and her father-in-law really have a deep relationship." Chu Yanyi, the crown prince sitting on the high seat, sighed while holding a wine glass.
The number of chapters tugged at the corners of his mouth.
When the grandmother saw that the atmosphere was not right, she hurriedly asked people to bring up the things that had been prepared.
"Crown princess, what kind of snacks does father-in-law like to eat?" Chu Yanzhi suddenly turned his head to look at Zhang Duo'er and said with a smile.
Zhang Duoer's face turned white, and the corner of her eyes subconsciously looked at the grandmother behind her, "I...... I ......"
The grandmother smiled, "Crown Princess, the general's favorite food is osmanthus cake, didn't you order Fu Nu to make a lot of money this morning for Master Zhang to take back?" ”
"Yes, yes, it's osmanthus cake." Zhang Duoer lowered her head, and her voice was so light that it was almost inaudible.
Chu Yanzhi lowered his eyes and smiled, staring at the dark lines painted on the wine glass in his hand, "When can a slave and maid cross the master and reply without authorization?" ”
Every word he said was very soft, but it was like a boulder pressing down on the top in people's hearts, especially the grandmother, who knelt down in a hurry, "The prince forgives the sin, and the slave knows that he is wrong." ”
"In my East Palace, I will never allow this Diao slave who is more than the master to be there." Chu Yanzhi put down the teacup in his hand, his dark eyes slowly raised, but the curvature of the smile on the corner of his lips did not change, but the words he said made people feel cold all over his body, "Come on, drag this Diao slave down for me, and beat him to death." ”
As soon as these words came out, the grandmother was like being struck by lightning, and the whole person lay on the ground, while kowtowing, and said, "Your Highness spares your life, Your Highness goes around your life......"
Zhang Shu's face froze, and he also got up, "The prince ......"
"It really made my father-in-law laugh just now. Come, let's keep drinking. Chu Yanzhi stretched out his hand and picked up the wine glass and smiled at Zhang Shu.
All the words immediately stuck in his throat, although he knew that the prince's move was aimed at him, but so what, what could he say?
Zhang Shu smiled with difficulty, bent down and saluted Chu Yanzhi with the wine glass, and then raised his head and drank the wine in the cup, "It's Weichen's poor teaching, and I ask Your Highness for forgiveness." ”
"How can this be about my father-in-law? Since this slave has entered the East Palace, he is naturally a person from the East Palace, what does it have to do with his father-in-law? Chu Yanzhi said with a smile.
Zhangshu's chest stagnated, so he had to sit down stupidly.
Seeing that Zhang Shu wanted to intercede for herself and was blocked by the prince, the mother had to put all her hopes on Zhang Duoer, she got up, reached out and grabbed the corner of Zhang Duoer's clothes, "Princess, save the slave, save the slave and maid, save the slave and maid......"
Zhang Duoer couldn't bear it, she looked up at Chu Yanzhi timidly, but was pressed back by Chu Yanzhi's sharp eyes.
"The Crown Princess......"
The grandmother next to her still refused to give up, grabbed the corner of Zhang Duoer's clothes and refused to let go.
"Prince, or, or spare Mama this time." Although she was scared, although she was afraid, Zhang Duoer still lowered her head and opened her mouth.
Chu Yanzhi didn't seem to hear it, and only glanced sideways at the attendant next to him.
The attendant understood, and immediately summoned two people to pull the mother off.
The mournful voice faded away, and there was silence at the banquet.
Not only Zhang Duoer, but even Zhang Shu's face is not very good at the moment.
The prince is clearly slapping him in the face!
"Father-in-law, please." Chu Yanzhi didn't seem to notice the strange atmosphere in the flower hall, and still raised his wine glass with a smile on his face.
Although Zhang Shu was unhappy in his heart, because this person was the prince, he still raised his wine glass and drank a glass with Chu Yanzhi.
"Hey, if it weren't for the two eldest brothers who couldn't spare time in Yan Yunwei, this banquet wouldn't be so deserted." Chu Yanzhi put down his wine glass and sighed as if unintentionally.
Hearing his two sons lift his body, Zhang Shu's heart tightened, but he didn't dare to show too much on his face, so he only lowered his head and replied, "The dog knows that the prince has this intention, and he will definitely feel flattered." ”
"Really?" Chu Yanzhi raised his eyebrows and looked at the number of chapters.
"Naturally." The number of chapters is busy hanging his head.
The development of things is becoming more and more uncontrollable, and he really can't guess what His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has in mind, and this knock on the side always makes him feel terrified.
"I'm relieved to have my father-in-law." Chu Yanzhi smiled and shook the wine glass in his hand.
Looking at the meaningful smile on the corner of Chu Yanzhi's mouth, Zhang Shu felt more and more bottomless in his heart, and a layer of fine beads of sweat unconsciously oozed from his forehead.
"Look, this meal is cold, princess, go to the kitchen and get some of your father-in-law's favorite dishes." Chu Yanzhi suddenly turned his face and looked at Zhang Duoer with a smile.
Zhang Duoer was stunned, and subconsciously lowered her head and didn't dare to look at Chu Yanzhi's eyes.
"The crown princess." Zhang Duoer's dowry girl stepped forward and reached out to help Zhang Duoer up.
"Lianxia, you go with the crown princess." No, Chu Yanzhi's voice immediately sounded.
"Yes." Lian Xia blessed Chu Yanzhi, then looked at Zhang Duo'er, who was still in a daze, pursed the corners of her mouth, and said with a smile, "Crown princess, please." Anyway, no matter how Zhang Duoer reacted, he reached out and picked Zhang Duoer up, and dragged her down.
First Mama, then Zhang Duoer, how could Zhang Shu not guess that today's night banquet was clearly coming at him.
"Your Highness, the hour is not early, Weichen has other things to do, so I won't woo Your Highness." Zhang Shu said and stood up to take his leave.
Want to go?
The smile on the corner of Chu Yanzhi's lips gradually deepened, "Isn't my father-in-law waiting for the crown princess?" How many of your favorite dishes would she like to cook for you? I've heard that my father-in-law's favorite food is the braised fish head made by the princess herself! ”
The number of chapters froze.
One of his favorite dishes is braised fish head, Chu Yanzhi even knows this, so ......
Seeing the panic in Zhang Shu's eyes, Chu Yanzhi stood up with a smile, walked towards him step by step, and his voice sounded cold in the hall, "General Zhang, this palace thinks that you have lived in officialdom for so many years, and you should know that Li Daitao's stiffness is not a good way." Especially this candidate is still the crown princess...... Isn't the crime of bullying a joke? ”
