Chapter 369: Don't Give Yourself Face
Riding the carriage to the place that Ji Qirui said, Ji Changye and the two of them found that there were already many officials here, and today's owner was greeting guests at the door, and after discovering their carriage, he immediately came over with a smile on his face and said: "Regent, King Jin, I have been back to the imperial capital for so long, I can be regarded as seeing you two, please come in quickly."
Saying that, Ji Qirui invited the two of them inside, and the officials who came and went on the side heard that Ji Changye had arrived, and they came forward one after another, and surrounded Ji Changye and He Yujin.
"Lord Regent, you've been in good health lately......
"Greetings, little ones......
Listening to these lingering stammering tones, He Yujin finally couldn't bear it anymore and stopped everyone loudly: "Everyone! I know you care about the Regent, but how about we go inside? It's a bit of an inconvenience here, isn't it?" As he spoke, he forced everyone out of the crowd and opened a way for the two of them, allowing them to get out of here.
Because the identity of He Yujin should not be underestimated, not to mention that he is also a close friend of the regent, so the others did not dare to say anything, so they could only follow the two of them to a wider courtyard.
Ji Qirui watched all this happen behind him and couldn't help but clench his fists secretly, thinking that he was not a dignified prince who was not so flattered by them, and couldn't help but start to be jealous of Ji Changye, but this banquet was specially prepared for them, and when this banquet was over, Ji Qirui didn't believe that they would slap Ji Changye and them again.
But now the superficial work that should be done still has to be done in place, so Ji Qirui came to the courtyard, walked up to him with a very close look to Ji Changye and said, "Last time, I saw each other again, the regent lost a lot of weight, not to mention the father and queen mother, and the imperial grandmother, this prince and the ministers are also very worried."
He Yujin on the side couldn't help sneering when he heard his words, thinking that he was really coy, and he had staged a deep love so soon.
"Is there anything wrong with King Jin? Something is wrong with the voice, do you want Prince Ben to call the imperial doctor for you?" Ji Qirui couldn't help but smile when he heard He Yujin's disdain, but in order to maintain his dignity, he still held back his anger and said. But the dissatisfaction with Yu Jin in his heart has nowhere to put it, thinking that it is okay to do it with Yu Jin and himself openly and secretly, and now he is so faceless, if he is not a descendant of the founding fathers, even the emperor has to give three points, and he will never let him be so arrogant.
He Yujin replied with a smile: "It's nothing, thank you for your concern, I just suddenly wanted to laugh and thought of something happy. By the way, why don't you have a feast? We didn't even have breakfast in the morning, so must everyone else?"
The words attracted the nods of others to agree, after all, it was Ji Qirui who was easily invited, if he was late or didn't give face, wouldn't he be openly arguing with the prince? Do you want to mess around in the court then? So basically everybody came here early, and of course they didn't eat.
Ji Qirui didn't expect that he would let Yu Jin succeed before he started to guide the direction of the wind, in order to make up for himself, and also to alleviate some of the hidden anger in everyone's hearts, so he hurriedly said, "How can I forget this kind of thing? Surely, because I'm worried that everyone won't have breakfast, I specially asked people to prepare a meal, everyone sit down quickly, don't be polite."
This time the people below are at a loss, after all, Ji Qirui has never ordered to prepare breakfast at all, where are they going to find it? Isn't this a deliberate attempt to embarrass them?
Ji Changye and He Yujin glanced at each other, and couldn't help but laugh in their hearts, it seems that this is really enough for Ji Qirui to be busy.
Rong took advantage of the fact that no one cared and came to Ji Qirui's side, and asked in a low voice, "Your Royal Highness the Prince, do you want to bring up the lunch things first?" The kitchen is already preparing, and a change of cuisine can help you get by." This is the only way now, otherwise it will be too late for them to go out and buy ingredients now.
Ji Qirui, who was desperate, gritted his teeth and could only agree: "Just do as you say, hurry up and prepare, don't delay too long." Otherwise, all this should be exposed, and then he should be ashamed. At this time, he was extremely resentful and Yujin, but he didn't expect him to give himself a break as soon as he came
Ma Wei, it seems that if you don't give him some color to take a look, you don't know how thick the sky is, and you forget your identity.
So Ji Qirui came to He Yujin's side and planned to start.
Ji Changye noticed that something was wrong with him and said, "Is there anything your Royal Highness the Crown Prince wants to say?" This opening aroused the vigilance of He Yu Ji and the attention of others, which made Ji Qirui dare not do anything easily.
"It's nothing, it's just that I feel like I haven't chatted with King Jin for a long time, and I want to catch up." Ji Qirui's embarrassing explanation that he could only put his first idea behind him, and was ready to think of a foolproof plan that was not enough to be discovered.
He Yujin still saved some face: "Then His Royal Highness the Crown Prince should have started from the age when he was still playing rattles when he was a child, after all, it has been so long. If you want to say anything, stay here and say it together, after all, there are not many opportunities to cooperate and be happy again" His implication was that Ji Qirui had not contacted him for a long time, and he must have something to say when he suddenly came to get close to him.
These words didn't let people know what they meant at the first time, but Ji Qirui slowly sank his face when he heard it, but soon turned into a smile and began to fight back vaguely: "It's also because of their different pursuits, you can't let people who go to higher places follow people who go down, right?"
"Prince......" Listening to Ji Qirui's words, and Yu Jin's face had already begun to be embarrassed.
At this time, Ji Changye hurriedly opened his mouth, interrupting the tension between the two of them and said, "This banquet is really bothered by His Royal Highness Prince Lao. It must have taken a lot of work, right?"
"The Regent's good eyesight does cost a lot, but since it's for the two of them, it's worth it." Ji Qirui hurriedly descended this step, otherwise it would not be good for him to be endless.
He Yujin didn't want to openly tear his face with Ji Qirui, so he could only be silent and ignore Ji Qirui, otherwise he didn't know how much more angry he would be.
At this time, seeing that those ministers were already eager to get close to Ji Changye, Ji Qirui found an excuse to leave to prepare his premeditated plan, and by the way, he took a look at the back kitchen.
Because of these ministers, Ji Changye can only forget about these things for the time being, and deal with them together with Yujin. Fortunately, a moment later, the so-called breakfast was served.
Because the change was in a hurry, and the ingredients were all prepared for lunch, everything seemed very weird, but because if there was no He Yujin, everyone would not have thought of this thing, so it was an accident, and the requirements for this were not so high. The important thing is that this is prepared by Ji Qirui, even if it is not good, they can't say anything.
"Don't say it, this cook's level is quite high." Although He Yujin looks down on Ji Qirui, he can't stop eating this meal.
Ji Changye lost his appetite because he was uneasy in his heart, thinking about what Ji Qirui wanted to do.
Nothing happened at the next banquet, until lunch, except for the feast that was prepared without danger, everything else seemed so dull, but the hidden dark waves were surging.
Ji Qirui came from a distance, with two ministers beside him, and they came straight to Ji Changye's side.
"Regent, this is a newly raised county order, saying that he admires His Royal Highness the Crown Prince very much, so he wants to come to toast, and I hope the regent will not dislike it." Ji Qirui said and pushed the two of them in front of Ji Changye, as if he didn't give him room to refuse.
He Yujin looked over vigilantly, and found that these two people were familiar people, and after careful identification, he found that they were Ji Qirui's protégés, and he suddenly understood what Ji Qirui was going to do, so he came over and said, "What's the good thing you don't tell me?" As he spoke, he stood in the way of everyone, which meant that it was already very obvious.
"I want to toast, if King Jin doesn't dislike it, let's go together." Ji Qirui had a bad idea in his heart, thinking that he could take revenge on him, so he wanted to pull He Yujin in very much.
Ji Changye was afraid that he would be involved with Yu Jin, so he wanted to refuse: "Ah Jin is still young, and this wine spirit is not suitable for many uses, so it is better to let him find happiness by himself, and he doesn't need to accompany him." The important thing is that the current self is too much if I leave
doesn't give Ji Qirui face, and the form will be at a disadvantage, so he can only send one out before deciding.
He Yujin understood Ji Changye's eyes, so he could only pretend to be disappointed and answered: "Okay, in that case, I'll go look elsewhere, you continue." With that, he left the place, pretending to go to someone else, but his eyes kept on this side.
"Come, a cup to the prince, congratulations on the prince's return to Beijing."
The two ministers had to order Ji Changye to start pouring wine on the left and right, as if they would not give up if they didn't get him drunk, and the reasons they came up with were more outrageous than the other. And Ji Changye didn't fiddle with them arbitrarily, so he deliberately dropped the wine while they weren't paying attention, but he still pretended to be drunk.
The two of them looked a little tired, so they pulled each other aside and whispered, "How can this adult drink so much? I can't hold it anymore, don't you want to get drunk after a few glasses of this wine? Why don't you have anything to do?"
"I don't know what he's coming from, I'm so tired, why don't I fall asleep?"
They may not have thought that they could hear him clearly by Ji Changye, and felt that they could figure out what Ji Qirui was trying to do, so he deliberately held his forehead and made a sound, and then fainted under the two expectant eyes.
He Yujin watched his pompous performance and knew that he was going to implement his plan, so he pretended to turn a blind eye, and let the two of them come forward and pretend to be concerned, so he helped Ji Changye out of here regardless of anyone's gaze.
He Yujin left here quietly not long after they left, and followed Ji Changye's traces to find a very hidden room in the backyard, and after watching Ji Changye be thrown in, He Yujin walked lightly to the window to take a look.
"If you do a good job, you will be rewarded." One of the ministers said, and the person listening on the other side was a beautiful woman, and the other party nodded, and then helped Ji Changye, who had been drunk, and took him to the inner room. The other two hurriedly left here and went to report to Ji Qirui.
