Chapter 71: Roast Duck on the Campfire

"What nonsense! I heard that a good face was beaten into a pig's head, and even a leg was broken, in the alley next to the embassy. ”

"Really? Who would dare to do that! ”

"I don't know who did this, but I heard that His Royal Highness King An also saw Luo Ning shopping with the second prince yesterday, and then the second prince was 'invited' to Yixiang Pavilion, and Luo Ning was brought into King An's mansion."

"What do you mean......" The woman couldn't say anything in fright, so she quickly took a handkerchief and covered her face directly, and looked left and right, her words should not have been heard by others just now!

"Don't talk nonsense, King An can't do that at all!" A person standing in front of the two women suddenly turned to look at them and said, "As for what you just said, if someone with a heart hears it, it will be the fuse that provokes the war between the two countries!" ”

The two women were shocked in their hearts, this crime is too big, maybe it is the crime of collaborating with the enemy and treason!

Both of them pursed their lips, their eyes turned red, and quietly left the long line.

Where do they dare to enter this palace! It's better to go home and embroider and read books!

Luo Quanyi frowned slightly, what he said was the truth! How did you scare those two away, and make him look like a big bad guy.

Luo Quanyi shook his head, looked at the dozen or so people in front of him, calmed down and continued to line up.

As a scholar of the Hanlin Academy, he was not qualified to participate in this palace banquet, but Huahou admonished him so that he had such an opportunity.

Just now he saw Luo Ning being bullied by Luo Zixin, and he wanted to step forward, but his identity would not help if he went up, but he might have affected his daughter because of this, so he simply gave up.

But it's okay, it's okay Luo Ning.

Otherwise, he wouldn't be at ease as an official.

This palace banquet was originally to wash the dust for the envoys of various countries, so the people who could enter the palace to attend the banquet were all officials of the second rank or above and their families.

The huge imperial garden is crowded with people at the moment.

"In previous years, the envoys came, and we were accompanied by the old men, and I don't know what happened this year, so we let our family members come together."

"Haven't you heard? All countries are interested in marrying us, but there are only a few princesses who are old enough under the emperor's knees, so you know. ”

"I see! No wonder the envoy entered Beijing several months ahead of schedule! I would have asked my daughter to get ready earlier! ”

"Alas! You can think about it, if you really fall in love with this, but if you marry far away from another country, you may never see each other in your life. ”

"As long as you have the heart, you are afraid that you will not see it? Besides, if our daughter marries well, our mother's family will follow suit. ”

The topic of everyone suddenly opened up, some were worried and some were happy.

Under the excitement, Luo Quanyi seemed a little lonely and out of place.

The people present are all second-grade and above-grade officials, who will take care of him as a petty official from the fifth grade!

Even when he saw it, he would look at him with disdain.

"Why is Lord Luo here alone? The general is over there. Hua Jinjin, the boss of the Hua family, looked at Luo Quanyi alone, and walked over.

"Xia Guan has seen Lord Hua." Luo Quanyi said: "My brother is talking to others, and it is inconvenient for the lower officials to go over." ”

"What's that! You can improve your relationship with other colleagues by the way! Hua Jinjin said casually.

Luo Quanyi shook his head and said, "Lord Hua, can you have a drink?" ”

"Of course!" Hua Jinjin sat down directly as he spoke, this is the most corner of the banquet, and even the back of the female guest table.

Luo Quanyi thought that a first-class official like Boss Hua would definitely disdain to sit here, but he didn't expect him to mind at all.

"Lord Luo, can you do the errand of the Hanlin Academy?" Hua Jinjin said: "My father originally wanted to come and ask in person, but he was not feeling well today and did not enter the palace. ”

Hua Jinjin sighed in his heart, where is the old man of his family who is not feeling well, he threw the mess to him and ran away by himself!

"Thank you for your concern, the lower officials have already started, and they will definitely do a good job of this errand, and they will never disappoint the old marquis!" Luo Quanyi solemnly clenched his fists and said.

He knew that Huahou had always been virtuous and not profound, but there were many people in this virtuous person, and he could win Huahou's favor, which was indispensable for Luo Ning's help.

So Luo Quanyi will definitely do this errand well!

Live up to their wishes.

"Lord Luo, as long as you do your best to do your errands and live up to yourself." Hua Jinjin said: "This palace banquet is very rare for you now, but who can say for sure in the future!"

As an official in the court, in addition to ability, interpersonal relationships are also very important. ”

"Yes, Xia Guan understands, thank you for waking up."

"Well, it's good that Lord Luo understands, let's have a drink, and the official will take you for a walk and get acquainted with everyone." Hua Jinjin raised his glass and touched Luo Quanyi's cup by himself, and took a sip.

In fact, he himself is not as sociable as his father, but now Luo Ning has explained, he must take Luo Quanyi for a walk.

Hua Jinjin said that he was a roast duck on a bonfire at this moment, and he couldn't escape if he wanted to.

Not far away, Ye Ruiming, who was surrounded by stars and moons, naturally saw Luo Quanyi and the boss of the Hua family together.

It's just that he doesn't stop it, although he and Luo Ning fell out, but if his concubine's maiden family and the Hua family have a relationship, it will be more beneficial than disadvantageous for him.

It was not until noon that the emperor and queen came slowly.

The garden is full of greenery, and it doesn't get hot even in the middle of the day.

Everyone sat down after saluting the emperor and queen, and the originally noisy imperial garden had nothing but the sound of birdsong at the moment.

"Your Majesty! You want to call the shots for my second prince! As soon as everyone sat down, a person hurriedly walked out, saluted the emperor, and said: "Our second prince of Jin'an Kingdom was beaten for no reason, you should give us an explanation for this matter anyway!" ”

"Lord Gao, you two princes are so temperamental, whoever wants to beat them up when they see it, don't make a fuss, and affect the reception banquet that Emperor Daxing held for us."

It was the envoys of Mengcheng who spoke, and they had always been at odds with Jin'anguo, so they did not enter Beijing together yesterday, but dragged it to the city that they entered last evening.

"Shut up with the surname Kim!" The high envoy turned his head and glared at the man, and said coldly: "Maybe it was you people from Mengcheng who did it!" It's good to push it to Daxingguo, and I want to provoke discord between our two countries! ”

"You fart!" The golden envoy slapped the table and said, "We want to move your second prince, we can kill him with one finger!" Can he still save his life to see the sun? ”

"What a Mongolian city! You have admitted it! If you dare to touch our second prince, our Jin'an Kingdom will definitely not give up! ”

"Come on! I'm afraid you won't make it! ”

The smell of gunpowder on both sides became stronger and stronger, and the war seemed to be about to break out, but the emperor sitting at the top of the head looked at the envoys of the two countries pinching each other with a calm face, and there was no intention of persuading each other.

When the atmosphere on both sides went up again, the emperor opened his golden mouth lightly.
