Chapter 400: The Prime Minister's Banquet

It's night.

The study was quiet, Xia Yihai looked at the leisurely man sitting opposite him a little anxiously, he never thought that the dignified Youwang would be so leisurely in the mansion on weekdays.

Pinch the chess pieces and sit down, and you can actually sit for half a day!

"Lord Wang, the last general will admit defeat!"

Xia Yihai simply threw away the white son in his hand, and he didn't intend to continue to accompany him.

At this time, Mu Longyuan came back to his senses from the chess game in front of him, but there seemed to be some doubt in his eyes, "The general's victory in this game is in sight, why do you want to admit defeat?"

Hearing this, Xia Yihai's face was even more ugly.

He felt more and more that Mu Longyuan was taking revenge on himself for disrespecting him, and he played more than a dozen games of chess in a row, killing him every time without leaving a single piece of armor! And the other party still looked like he was happy about it.

"Don't make fun of the last general, the last general is not good at chess......" Before the words were finished, Xia Yihai's eyes flashed, and he was a little dazed.

If he was not good at chess, how could he get into Qin Yurong's eyes in the first place?

At this moment, he remembered that when he was young, his favorite thing besides reading military books was to play chess, and he rarely met opponents.

Mo didn't have a heart-to-heart relationship with his wife on the chessboard, how could he sink to this?

However, after his wife's death, he subconsciously began to avoid any memories related to her, and never even touched the chess pieces.

Mu Longyuan looked at the mixed feelings in Xia Yihai's eyes, and his face showed a rare touch of softness.

"The blade of the sword is sharpened, the general is actually not old, it is easy to fall, but it is difficult to stand up, and it is not too late to start many things. ”

Mu Longyuan's slender and good-looking index finger lightly tapped the chessboard, the few hours he played against Xia Yihai in the past few hours, each game was more difficult than the other, the chess game changed like a battlefield, and this Xia General seemed to have gradually picked up the shadow of the past.

At this time, a Yan Youjun strode to stop at the door of the study, and a loud and respectful voice sounded, "Lord Wang, there is something important to report!"

"This king has said, what you can solve by yourself, don't bother today!"

Mu Longyuan's face turned cold, and in an instant, it was as if he had changed someone.

Xia Yihai came back to his senses at this time, could it be that the King of Youwang was not idle, but spent time playing against himself for so long in order to accompany him to relieve his boredom, or to appease his mood?

He suddenly felt a little moved in his heart, the rumored unkind King of Youwang also had such a time to think about people, and ......

Xia Yihai looked at the chessboard again, and his heart became more and more amazed at Mu Longyuan's meticulous thoughts.

"It's about the county lord of Yongle. ”

Speaking of Xia Qianwei, Xia Yihai's eyes immediately changed, and Mu Longyuan's eyes flashed, "Come in." ”

"Lord Qiqi, the old lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion held a thank-you banquet and invited the county lord of Yongle to come over tomorrow night, and many women in Beijing received invitations. ”

Thank you?

It turned out that the old lady of the Xiangfu praised the master doctor of Yongle County for his excellent skills in the post, and his condition improved greatly after taking her prescription, of course, this matter was also approved by the Queen Mother.

Xia Yihai couldn't help frowning, he had stayed in Youwangfu for two days, and he had never seen His Majesty send someone to urge the interrogation results, Jingzhong was only afraid that rumors had already been spreading, why did the old lady Liu invite her daughter three or four times, not afraid of being involved in trouble by Xia Mansion?

He thinks that he has no friendship with the Prime Minister's Mansion, and even has had a bad relationship before, but Mrs. Liu's almost overtures are really invisible.

Isn't this helping the Xia Mansion to quell the rumors, after all, if the Xia family is really guilty, no one will want to be close to the Xia family!

Soon, Lord Lu was also ordered to rush over, and Mu Longyuan glanced at him deeply, "Tomorrow, you go with that girl, and everything is under her command." ”

The girl?

Xia Yihai's face immediately froze, he was really not used to His Royal Highness King Youwang mentioning his daughter with such an affectionate title, especially when there were outsiders present.

But the Lord Lu in front of him seemed to have become accustomed to it, "Weichen obeys orders." ”

"Wait!" Just as the other party turned around to leave, Xia Yihai couldn't help but call him, and glanced back at Mu Longyuan with some hesitation, before he asked hesitantly, "Is she okay?" and other people in my house......

"The general rest assured, everything is fine in your mansion, and the county lord of Yongle is still waiting for the general to go back and reunite with the family. Lord Lu smiled lightly, and Xia Yihai suddenly had mixed feelings.

How could everything be fine? Although he has stopped at the position of general of Sanpin in these years, such a thing has never happened, and his life is quite smooth.

He never imagined that one day he would put his loved ones in such a dangerous situation......

"She won't let herself suffer, she should be careful, it should be the old woman of the Liu family. A joking voice came from behind him, Xia Yihai turned his head in surprise, and Mu Longyuan's eyes were actually crossed with a soft color.

He seemed to know his daughter very well, and his words revealed an indescribable trust.

Xia Yihai suddenly had a bold idea, could it be that he had already had a relationship with Qianwei in private?

In the past two days in Youwang's Mansion, he felt a little strange, especially the Qi guard beside Youwang, who was even more familiar with his daughter......

Xia Yihai didn't dare to continue to think about it, as soon as he thought that his daughter was already over and someone was going to come to the door to propose marriage at any time, he felt that his heart was full of bad taste, and it was extremely difficult to give up.

Although Xia Qianwei had already explained her friendship with Mao Daochang afterwards, he and his mother were very puzzled why she wanted to break off her marriage, but he had to admit that it was indeed a way to completely break His Majesty's thoughts.

At that moment, he clearly realized that his daughter had grown up and had her own ideas, although it was reassuring, it was also extremely distressing.

Xia Yihai looked deeply in the direction of Mu Longyuan again, every time he mentioned Qianwei, His Royal Highness the Youwang immediately gave people a different feeling, how could he not know as a man.

Maybe many things are no longer within his reach......

The next day, the carriage sent to Xia's house by the Prime Minister took Xia Qianwei over as a VIP gift early.

When the beautiful girl slowly appeared in front of everyone, the originally lively seat fell silent in an instant, and Xia Qianwei clearly felt that countless eyes fell on her.

The scene in front of her was even grander than she had imagined, and could almost be described as full of friends, if it weren't for the unconcealable strangeness and exploration in the sight, I am afraid that others would have thought that this was just an ordinary feast.

At the main banquet table in the garden, Mrs. Liu, who had not seen a guest for a long time, had a ruddy face and looked at the visitor in good spirits.

"Qianwei, quick, come here, are you tired on the way?"

Qin Yuyuan slowly walked out from among the guests, and greeted her enthusiastically, with a caring look, which simply interpreted the image of a good aunt to the fullest.

There was a burst of praise all around, "The Prime Minister's wife simply loves the county lord of Yongle as a daughter......

Old Madam Liu nodded and smiled, "Exactly, the old body has always regarded the county lord of Yongle as his granddaughter." ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone's eyes immediately flowed with a different light......
