Volume 1 The Origin of the Storm Chapter 36 No Seat

When Lin Wan'er took Xiang Yun to the 'Xingtan Garden' where the palace was hosting guests today, the entire wide park was already densely packed with tables and chairs, and at a glance, there were thousands of guests invited to this banquet, not to mention thousands of guests!

Sure enough, the four garden gates in the southeast, northwest and northwest are all crowded, and groups of guests rush in, but fortunately, the palace has arranged a special subordinate to preside over the order, so that it will not be too congested, and the guests have entered the Xingtan Garden in an orderly manner.

Xiang Yun and the others came to the east gate of Xingtan Garden, and as the crowd entered the garden, they immediately walked straight towards the Chunlai Pavilion in the center of Xingtan Garden.

Chunlai Pavilion is a two-storey attic in the center of Xingtan Garden, the whole body is square, the repair is exquisite and luxurious, the second floor has a special viewing platform and the dance pavilion platform of the performance, the inner side of the attic is furnished with a diameter of enough zhangxu, carved with the eight-immortal table of the four-clawed golden dragon, the host of this birthday banquet is the place where the king banquet invites the VIPs who come to the silver city.

The first floor of the Chunlai Pavilion is a place for the royal children who came to congratulate the birthday, and some powerful officials and nobles, as for the other guests who came to congratulate the birthday, they can only sit on the seats laid in the open air outside the Xingtan Garden.

After all, it is a royal level birthday banquet, and this kind of hierarchy is still very strict, everyone has a seat that matches their status, the more noble the status, the closer to the Chunlai Pavilion in the center of the park!

Xiang Yun, as the prince of the world, was naturally qualified to enter the Chunlai Pavilion, so Lin Wan'er led him all the way through the corridor to the door of the Chunlai Pavilion.

"Lord Butler, where is the seat of the prince?" Lin Wan'er asked very politely.

At this moment, there are already some people sitting on the first floor of the Chunlai Pavilion, these people are either relatives of the palace, or some dignitaries, there are not many people, there are only more than ten people, when they saw Xiang Yun walking to the door, there was a commotion inside, it seemed that someone was talking about something, thinking that they had recognized Xiang Yun's identity.

A few years ago, Xiang Yun and his two elder brothers were all VIPs who accompanied him on the second floor of the Chunlai Pavilion with the king side by side, but later Xiang Yun was arranged to sit on the first floor, although he was still in the Chunlai Pavilion, he was obviously demoted by one level.

In the face of Lin Wan'er's inquiry about the seat of the prince, Steward Lin's wrinkled and thin face looked a little helpless and embarrassed, he shook his mustache and said in a snort.

"That...... Miss Wan'er, I'm sorry, this time the prince's birthday banquet, there are too many guests, this ...... The location of the little son...... Eh......"

After hesitating for a long time, Steward Lin still said helplessly: "It seems that there is no seat for Xiao Shizi in the Chunlai Pavilion." ”

"What! There is no seat for Xiao Shizi in the Chunlai Pavilion!" Lin Wan'er heard this, her beautiful eyes widened, and her face was full of disbelief.

"Steward Lin, are you mistaken, how can there be no seat for the prince inside!" Lin Wan'er said that she didn't believe anything, you must know that Xiang Yun is the son of the king side by side, and on the birthday of the king side by side, Xiang Yun didn't even have a seat, how could this be possible!

Although Xiang Yun was not favored, he once sat on the second floor of Chunlai Pavilion and accompanied the prince at the same time as the second son of the eldest prince, and was later arranged to the first floor of Chunlai Pavilion, but this is all about it.

No matter how you say it, there should always be a seat for Xiang Yun on the first floor, but now Steward Lin actually said that there was no seat for Xiang Yun on the first floor, which surprised Lin Wan'er.

Steward Lin looked at Lin Wan'er a little helplessly, shook his head and said, "Miss Wan'er, this ...... There should be no mistake, in the seat order list of the palace, there is indeed no seat for the little prince in the Chunlai Pavilion. ”

"Impossible, absolutely impossible, even if Xiao Shizi is not on the second floor of the Chunlai Pavilion, there must be a seat on the first floor, you must be mistaken!"

Lin Wan'er changed her gentle and demure appearance at this moment, with a cold face, and said in a hard tone, at this moment, it is about Xiang Yun's dignity, Lin Wan'er is like a little tiger defending her master's rights and interests, and refuses to back down at all.

At this time, those who had already taken their seats on the first floor of Chunlai Pavilion also seemed to notice the strangeness outside, and everyone glanced at Xiang Yun from time to time, and whispered, and some of them obviously had a sarcastic look on the corner of their mouths.

Xiang Yun's fame is resounding throughout the Fengyun Country, and the latter has done things like Piaoxianglou and the son of the Jin family burning money to cook Ding, reading the Spring Palace picture album in front of the dean of the National Education College, and teasing the daughter of the Ministry of Rites in public...... All kinds of acts are shocking and widely spread, and of course, they still cause people to laugh and abuse.

In the face of Lin Wan'er's unyielding, Steward Lin was a little helpless, he could only nod again and again and said, "Okay...... I'll let someone check it out and see if it's a mistake. ”

Steward Lin was about to turn around and leave as he spoke.

"Steward Lin, you still don't have to bother you to run for nothing, since there is no seat for me, then I will go outside and sit. Steward Lin just turned around and took a step, but Xiang Yun, who had been speechless, spoke.

When Steward Lin heard this, he couldn't help but turn his head and look at Xiang Yun with a surprised expression, in his impression, when the latter's temperament encountered this situation, he scolded angrily, and it was strange to make trouble in the Chunlai Pavilion, how could he be so indifferent today, and he also offered to sit outside.

Steward Hu didn't understand, and Lin Wan'er couldn't understand Xiang Yun's approach, the latter said anxiously: "Shizi, how can you sit outside with your identity, they must be mistaken, there must be your seat in the Chunlai Pavilion, you can let Steward Lin check it." ”

Xiang Yun smiled bitterly when he heard this, stretched out his hand and patted Lin Wan'er's little head and said: "Silly girl, the seats in the Chunlai Pavilion are all for some VIPs, the palace will definitely check it carefully, the seat order of the Chunlai Pavilion, at least our Steward Lin will have to look at it more than a dozen times before he can rest assured, and even that guy will take a look at it in case something goes wrong, so without me, it will definitely not be an accident." ”

As soon as Xiang Yun said this, not only Lin Wan'er, but even Steward Lin, who had always shown an innocent face, showed a look of surprise, and of course, more of an embarrassed look!

The latter obviously didn't expect that Xiang Yun would be so shrewd, and he had insight into everything in an instant, Xiang Yun was right, the reason why the latter did not sit in the Chunlai Pavilion this time was arranged by the prince himself and let him erase it, otherwise he would be able to memorize the importance of the guests in the Chunlai Pavilion, and he Lin Bin would be able to memorize it, how could he omit the name of the third prince of the palace.

The reason why he didn't say it was because he didn't want to say that it was the prince who removed the name of Xiao Shizi himself, but he didn't expect the latter to see through everything at a glance, but he directed and acted by himself, and he was a clown who jumped off the beam, which was really embarrassing.

"Little Shizi...... I ......" Steward Lin wanted to say something, but Xiang Yun waved his hand at him and said: "Okay, Steward Lin, I know that this matter is none of your business, isn't it just a seat, what's there to fight for, anyway, the food on each table is the same, I'll change the table." ”

"Wan'er, let's go sit outside, just in time to breathe some fresh air!" Xiang Yun's face was indifferent, and he turned around and left without the slightest hesitation.

When Lin Wan'er heard this, she hesitated for a moment, and finally could only glare at her fiercely with her beautiful eyes, and Steward Lin, who had an embarrassed face, immediately turned around and followed Xiang Yun down the stairs of Chunlai Pavilion, and walked down step by step in the sneering expressions of everyone in the hall on the first floor.

Looking at the back that turned around freely, Steward Lin, who was originally embarrassed and lowered his head, his eyes became extremely bright at this moment, and his deep eyes were staring at Xiang Yun's back, as if he wanted to see through Xiang Yun.

"This little guy seems to have changed a lot, but won't the prince's approach be too unkind, after all, this is his own son......!" Steward Hu sighed, and then a smile appeared on his face again, facing the guests in the Chunlai Pavilion.

About the middle of the hour, the sun has just set, the palace Xingtan Garden is lit up with dotted lights, under the reflection of the firelight, the whole Xingtan Garden is covered in silver, bright as day, beautiful.

At this moment, the whole Xingtan Garden is full of guests, there are thousands of people, tables and chairs are placed directly outside the garden from the Xingtan Garden, it is still full, the sound of lively noise, out of the palace, through the streets and alleys, so that the people outside the palace can hear the noise in the palace.

But it was said that the master and servant who walked all the way down the stairs of Chunlai Pavilion, Lin Wan'er originally wanted Xiang Yun to sit in the position closest to Chunlai Pavilion, and those who could sit here were all powerful officials in the court, although Xiang Yun sat here a little self-surrendered, but it was not too embarrassing.

However, Xiang Yun did not listen to Lin Wan'er's arrangement, and the latter followed all the way through the middle garden of Xingtan Garden, then to the back garden, and finally came to the west gate of Xingtan Garden.

Xiang Yun saw that there was a banquet table in the corner outside the park that had been moved outside the park because it could not be placed, and the latter swaggered out a chair and sat down, and immediately grinned at Lin Wan'er and said, "Okay, Wan'er, let's sit here." ”

"What ......?" Lin Wan'er looked at Xiang Yun with an incredulous expression, he thought that the latter was going to leave the scene angrily, but he didn't expect the prince to find a seat outside the park that was so remote and sat down, this kind of position was almost for those lowest-level officials who entered the palace.

"Shizi, with your identity, how can you sit here. ”

Xiang Yun smiled when he heard this: "What's this, since people haven't even prepared a seat for us, let's lick our faces and make something in the middle, just sit here on the outside, and be happy to be idle." ”

"But Shizi, your identity ......"

"Hey...... What identity is not identity, my identity is the deputy city lord of Qin Feng City, but it is not some kind of bullshit world, we are small families, it would be good for us to sit here side by side, do you say no, girl?" Xiang Yun had the false name of the deputy city lord of Qin Feng City when he was arranged in Qin Feng City, and at this moment he was seated in the right place.

Saying that, Xiang Yun also waved vigorously at Lin Wan'er and said, "Come on, come on, what are you doing standing there, sit with me." ”

"This can't be done, Wan'er is just a maidservant, how can she sit with her son. ”

"Hey...... You girl, when did I treat you as a girl, didn't I say, are you my future little wife?"

"Shizi......" Lin Wan'er glanced at Xiang Yun with disdain, and a flush appeared on her face.

"Come and sit down with me, otherwise it will be embarrassing for this son to sit here alone. Xiang Yun persuaded him.

However, no matter what Xiang Yun said, Lin Wan'er just refused to sit down, this is not comparable to Xiang Yun's previous life, it is still a feudal society, the hierarchy is strict, and the subordinates are absolutely not allowed to dine at the same table with the host, and it is impossible for this kind of public banquet to appear.

However, where would Xiang Yun follow these pedantic rules, the latter pretended to look at Lin Wan'er angrily and said: "You girl, this son of the world came this time to give a heavy gift, now we don't eat a little more of the palace's things, wouldn't it be a big loss, I can't eat much alone, you won't come to help me?"

When Lin Wan'er heard this, she suddenly remembered the dozen or so wooden boxes on the carriage, the small ones couldn't be smaller, compared to the congratulatory gifts given by others, the size of a box for others, I'm afraid it would be worth all the boxes, even if there was gold in it, it would not exceed one thousand taels, which was simply shabby for the birthday gifts that others sent to the palace, but the prince of the world could still say the word 'heavy gift', Lin Wan'er herself felt that her little face was a little hot.

couldn't stand Xiang Yun's soft grinding and hard bubbles, and was also worried that Xiang Yun would be unhappy, Lin Wan'er finally had to sit beside Xiang Yun hard.

Looking at the still empty desktop, Xiang Yun turned his head, looked at the two people who had already been stunned and said, "Why are you two still stunned, don't you see that the table is still empty, why don't you hurry up and get the wine and food on this table." ”

"Uh...... Yes Yes Yes ...... We'll go serve the food right away, Lord Shizi, wait a minute!" the two subordinates woke up like a dream.

The previous two people who were guarding outside the gate of the garden saw that the prince was sitting outside the garden, and thought that he was dazzled and recognized the wrong person, but at this moment he finally confirmed that he did not recognize the wrong person, this is really the little prince himself.

The two subordinates were busy and were about to arrange for someone to serve the food on this table, but they were stopped by Xiang Yun just as they took a step.

"What does the prince command? The two asked respectfully.

"That, this Shizi has a good appetite today, and the wine and food are all served in double, no need for chickens and ducks, more abalone, sea cucumbers, bird's nest, shark fins, etc., my appetite is relatively light. ”

Lin Wan'er next to her already felt that her cheeks were a little hot, if it weren't for the fact that there was no one else here, this maid really wanted to cover her cheeks and pretend not to know Xiang Yun, and her master was too cheeky...... What's that, usually in Qin Fengcheng Shizi's Mansion, he eats the best wine and food, how can he come here as if he hasn't eaten anything good.

Lin Wan'er lowered her head a little embarrassed, but Xiang Yun turned her head and said in Lin Wan'er's ear: "Wan'er, you can eat riveting later, help this son earn more money, don't lose money." ”

"Shizi......" Lin Wan'er didn't know how to reply, so she just nodded and said seriously: "Wan'er must try to eat more." ”

"Ouch......" At this moment, with a miserable scream, a man staggered from the west gate of Xingtan Garden, where Xiang Yun and the others walked out before, fell to the ground, and turned over on the ground.

A tall man with thick eyebrows and big eyes looked at the man sitting on the ground with disdain, and said disdainfully: "A small post with sesame mung beans, a little errand boy, dares to occupy the position of Bengong Cao, I think you are impatient." ”
