Chapter 600: Birthday Banquet
Chu Min's expression was gloomy, and for a moment, he felt that the Duke of Yasukuni knew everything.
"Father, don't worry too much, you'll be fine."
Yasukuni shook his head and motioned for him to help him lie down, "Tired, tired, go, it's night, rest well, you have to go to the morning court tomorrow." ”
Chu Min carefully covered him with the quilt, "Yes, father will also rest first, and my son will come to see you tomorrow." ”
Yasukuni closed his eyes.
It wasn't until he heard the footsteps of Chu Min leaving that he opened his eyes again, looked at Chu Min's departing back and exhaled a deep breath, and when he closed his eyes again, a teardrop overflowed from the corner of his eye.
King Jiangning's birthday is at the end of the month.
Because of the news that Xiao Ember will come, there are really a lot of people who came to celebrate Wang Jiangning's birthday today.
Early in the morning, King Jiang Ning stood refreshed outside the gate to greet the guests, and he couldn't remember how long it had been since he had seen so many flattering faces at the same time.
"Congratulations on the prince's birthday."
"Master Li is here, hurry up and please come inside."
After these days of cultivation, Xiao Shijie's wounds have healed, and he is now standing outside the door with King Jiangning to welcome guests.
The people who came to celebrate the birthday of King Jiangning were very discerning, ignoring Xiao Shijie's existence, and they couldn't wipe their faces, and they just entered the house with a simple greeting or two.
Xiao Shijie stared at the faces of those people, and his eyes were cold.
This scene happened to be caught by King Jiang Ning, "Okay, the injuries on your body are not healed, just go in and stay, and it will not be too late for you to come over when the banquet starts." ”
Xiao Shijie didn't refuse, "Okay, I'll go in first."
After Xiao Shijie left, King Jiang Ning let out a breath, he always had a burden in his heart when he stood on the side, and he was much more relaxed as soon as he left.
As the banquet was about to begin, a group of forbidden soldiers arrived outside the palace gate.
Seeing this, King Jiangning immediately greeted him, "See the emperor." ”
Xiao Yan, who was dressed in a purple regular uniform, stepped down from the carriage, and when he stood still, he did not leave, but reached out to help Su Ying down.
King Jiangning didn't expect Su Ying to come too.
"See the Queen."
The two of them stood still and let King Jiang Ning and the others get up.
"Today, I and the queen are here to see Uncle Wang's birthday banquet, Uncle Wang is the master, just treat me and the queen as ordinary juniors."
He didn't dare to give King Jiangning 10,000 guts!
He respectfully invited people to the mansion, now that the weather is cold, King Jiangning has already asked people to repair the largest courtyard in order to organize today's banquet, which can fully accommodate the guests who came today.
"The emperor has arrived, and the queen has arrived."
As the voice of the eunuch sounded, the people who had already arrived in the banquet hall stood up and saluted.
Xiao Shen joined hands with Su Ying to sit on the top in the Ember Hall.
Xiao Shijie watched Xiao Yan's footsteps flash past his eyes, and the killing intent in his eyes was fully revealed.
Suddenly, an embroidered shoe embroidered with pearls stopped in front of him, Xiao Shijie was startled, and subconsciously raised his head to face a pair of bottomless phoenix eyes.
Xiao Shijie quickly retracted his gaze and lowered his eyes, he hadn't heard of the queen's reputation, but he didn't care, no matter how powerful a woman was for him, how powerful could she be?
It's just that look in his eyes just now that makes him inexplicably frightened.
This woman is so strong.
With just one glance, Su Ying withdrew his gaze and followed Xiao Shen to the main seat and sat down.
King Jiang Ning sat under Xiao Shen and them, paying attention to the eyes of the two from time to time.
"In order to celebrate the birthday of the King of Jiangning, the prince specially returned from Jinling City, your filial piety really touched me, this cup of wine, I first salute the son."
Xiao Shijie stood up respectfully with the wine glass on the table, "Thank you for the emperor's compliment, Weichen has long wanted to return to Beijing before, but he has always been entangled in trivial matters, so he has not returned for a long time, this time I finally have this opportunity to meet the emperor and my father, and I am even happy in my heart." ”
"This glass of wine should be a tribute to the emperor." After speaking, Xiao Shijie drank all the wine in the cup.
Xiao Shen also drank the wine in the cup.
King Jiang Ning also stood up at the right time to warm up the scene, and the atmosphere at the banquet suddenly warmed up.
After a few glasses of wine, King Jiangning also became a little upset, and he was a lot bolder.
"Your Majesty, I'm really happy today, I can't remember how long it hasn't been like this, and I thank the emperor for this." King Jiang Ning blushed, came to Xiao Shen with a wine glass, and already had a big tongue when he spoke.
Xiao Yan kindly picked up the wine glass and touched it on his wine glass, "Uncle Wang is happy." ”
"Happy, I don't know how happy I am." With that, he drank the wine from his glass again, turned around and danced to the dance floor in the center of the hall and followed the singers.
The guests felt that King Jiangning was not small, and he dared to be so presumptuous in front of the emperor, but seeing that the emperor didn't seem to mean to blame, they all laughed and enjoyed the song and dance.
The atmosphere at the banquet was pushed to a climax.
Su Ying sat on the chair and ate the dishes on the table with great interest, although the taste was not as good as in the palace, it did not taste bad.
"It's a good snack, you can try it." Xiao Shen pushed the dim sum in front of him to Su Ying's table.
Su Ying sighed, picked up the chopsticks and continued to eat.
Xiao Shijie sat down, seemingly watching singing and dancing, the afterglow kept falling on Xiao Ying and Su Ying, seeing that Su Ying was eating the whole time, and felt that Su Ying's eyes looking at him just now might just be an accident?
Xiao Shijie retracted his gaze, and a maid sat on top of him, and the wine in his hand instantly wet his robe.
"The son of the world forgives the sins, the son of the world forgives the sins, the slave and the maid deserve to die, the slave and the maid deserve to die...... the maid was so frightened that her face was pale, and she kowtowed and begged for mercy.
At this time, the singing and dancing stopped, and for a while, many people were attracted by the movement here and looked over here.
King Jiangning was dancing vigorously with the dancing girl, and suddenly scolded dissatisfiedly when he heard the maid's crying: "What are you doing, today is the birthday of this king, crying and crying, get out, hurry up and get out of this king!" ”
The maid didn't dare to say anything more, and rolled out of the way.
The housekeeper walked to Xiao Shijie's side at the right time, "Shizi, the robe on your body is wet, let's hurry up and go down with the slave to change into a clean one." ”
Xiao Shijie's face was not very good-looking, and he was very dissatisfied with such an episode, but because of the presence of the guests, he had been trying to forbear.
"It's Weichen's rudeness." Xiao Shijie stood up and saluted Xiao Ember before leaving with the housekeeper.
The sound of dancing music sounded again, and King Jiang Ning danced with the dancing girl again, as if he didn't take the little episode just now to heart.
Xiao Shijie followed the housekeeper to the side room in the backyard.
"The prince waits for a moment, and the servant will go and let people bring clean robes."
Xiao Shijie nodded and sat down on the chair without hurry.
When the butler stepped back, a figure pushed open the door and entered.
