Chapter Thirty-Eight: The Night Feast

When Fan Xian entered the New Year's Prayer Hall, he saw that the crown prince, the second prince and the eldest princess had already arrived.

Xin Qiwu is a little strange about the arrival of the eldest princess and the second prince, it stands to reason that this time it is to feast the people of the Ministry of Rites and Honglu Temple to celebrate the end of the war, and the prince is the prince, so he came, how did these two come.

But he didn't study it in detail, so he was ready to take Fan Xian to a seat.

But at this moment, a person ran in front of Fan Xian and startled Fan Xian.

I saw that the man looked at Fan Xian and said, "Do you thief still have the face to see me again?" ”

Of course Fan Xian remembered this person, although many days had passed, of course he still remembered, but he asked with a look of surprise: "Who are you?" ”

When Guo Baokun heard this, he said angrily: "How can this be reasonable, you actually pretended not to know me here when you were murderous and hurt people that day?" ”

Fan Xian looked suddenly enlightened and said, "Guo Shao! It's not there yet, I see that your injuries are almost healed, it's so good! ”

Guo Baokun was very angry, saying that he would watch Fan Xian fall into ruin tonight and never recover.

Fan Xian thought of something when he heard this, and glanced at the eldest princess, but the eldest princess didn't seem to notice Fan Xian.

At this time, Guo Youzhi, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, came over and took Guo Baokun away.

After Fan Xian and Guo Youzhi greeted each other, they each returned to their seats and sat down.

After Fan Xian sat down, he was still thinking about what Guo Baokun meant by that sentence, and he didn't even care about what Xin Qiwu said.

Fan Xian noticed that there were still two empty seats in the main hall, so he asked Xin Qiwu: "Alas, Lao Xin, there are still two empty seats, for whom?" ”

Xin Qiwu glanced at the people present and said, "It is estimated that it is prepared for the two masters of Dongyi City and Northern Qi." ”

Fan Xian heard this, thought for a while, and asked again: "There is a Zhuang Mohan from Northern Qi, everyone in the literary world, but you can achieve that position, who is from Dongyi City?" ”

Just when Xin Qiwu was about to answer.

Fan Xian saw that a person had actually gone to the temple with a weapon. Looking at this person's dress, he should be from Dongyi City.

Fan Xian saw that this person was holding a weapon, and this person gave Fan Xian a feeling that he was very similar to a shadow.

The man also saw Fan Xian, and when he walked in front of Fan Xian, he stopped and glanced at Fan Xian. Then he went up and sat down in one of the two empty seats.

Xin Qiwu found that Fan Xian was in a daze, so he called Fan Xian twice, Fan Xian came back to his senses and asked, "Why did this person enter the palace with a sword?" ”

Xin Qiwu glanced at the man and explained: "Looking around at the sword gate, the sword has always been undetached. His Majesty has special permission. ”

Subsequently, Xin Qiwu saw that Fan Xian was still a little puzzled, so he explained: "He is the Great Grandmaster's Sigu Sword Leader, Yun Zhilan, and also, my lord, the two female assassins you killed on the street that day are his disciples."

This time, Dongyi Castle sent a delegation to Kyoto for this purpose. ”

When Fan Xian heard this name, he asked seriously, "Does he sell wine?" ”

It's really a name that has a lot of wine connotations.

Xin Qiwu was a little confused when he heard Fan Xian's question.

At this moment, the eldest princess's envoy came over and said that the eldest princess wanted Fan to come over. Something to say.

Fan Xian got up and walked to the eldest princess and saluted, and said, "I've seen my mother-in-law." ”

Fan Xian's words almost made the eldest princess break her defense, but she saw that the eldest princess restrained her expression and said, "If you are loyal to me, I will not only let Wan'er marry you, but also hand over the inner library to you." ”

Fan Xianyan smiled when he heard this: "I am not loyal to you, these are also mine, so why should I be loyal to you?" Isn't this kneeling for food? ”

The eldest princess smiled when she heard this, and said: "If you want to marry Wan'er, and you want to get the financial power of the inner treasury, then you still kneel to ask for food, and others can't kneel if they want to." ”

Fan Xian smiled: "I'm a person, my knees are a little hard, I can't kneel, what do you say?" ”

The eldest princess looked at Fan Xian deeply and said, "Then let's wait and see." ”

Fan Xian saluted again, and said loudly: "The minister will live up to the princess's expectations." ”

The eldest princess glanced at Fan Xian deeply and said, "I've given you a chance, you don't want it yourself, okay, the banquet is about to start, you can also return to your place." ”

Fan Xian saluted again and returned to his seat.

Not long after Fan Xian sat back in his seat, an old man about sixty or seventy years old, holding a scroll in his hand, walked into the Hall of Prayer.

When the people in the temple saw the old man, they got up.

Fan Xian asked Xin Qiwu: "Is this person Zhuang Mohan?" ”

Xin Qiwu replied: "Exactly, everyone in the literary circle of the Northern Qi Dynasty, who has exegutized the scriptures and commented on the scriptures for decades, and has written equal works, can be said to be the great master of the literary world who combines the fortunes of the world. ”

Fan Xian also admired this kind of character, and then stood up, followed everyone to salute Zhuang Mohan, and said: "The inheritance of literature and Taoism is carried in one. ”

After Zhuang Mohan sat down, everyone sat down, and now everyone has arrived, just waiting for Emperor Qing to arrive, and the banquet will begin.

After waiting for a while, Emperor Qing came, and after Emperor Qing arrived, everyone walked out of their positions, walked to the middle of the aisle, knelt down towards Emperor Qing, and shouted in unison.

Fan Xian stood alone in the crowd, somewhat abrupt.

Fan Xian is also an interesting person, and squatted down to keep himself from being too abrupt.

Emperor Qing looked at Fan Xian, who was the only squatting in the crowd, and didn't say anything, and said, "Flat!" ”

Immediately, everyone returned to their seats and sat down, and Emperor Qing ordered the food to be served.

Fan Xian looked at the dishes that came up, they were actually not bad, and then, Fan Xian didn't care about others, so he poured himself a drink, and took two mouthfuls of dishes from time to time.

It was a tribute to Xin Qiqi again, and it was a distant respect for Guo Baokun, and after a while, he was already a little drunk.

Emperor Qing looked at Fan Xian, who was constantly holding vegetables and drinking wine in his hands, a little speechless, coughed lightly twice, and suddenly, everyone in the hall put down the dishes and chopsticks in their hands.

Fan Xian didn't care about that, he was still eating and drinking by himself.

In the entire hall, only Fan Xian was still eating and drinking, and Emperor Qing glanced at Fan Xian.

Then he opened his mouth and shouted: "Fan Xielu! ”

Fan Xian was already eating at this time, and he didn't notice that he was calling himself. Still eating and drinking there.

Xin Qiwu on the side couldn't stand it anymore, and hurriedly reminded: "Master Fan, call you." ”

When Fan Xian heard this, he put down his chopsticks, pointed at himself, and asked, "Call me?" ”

Xin Qiwu nodded, and Fan Xian realized that everyone in the hall had already put down the dishes and chopsticks.

After Fan Xian drank the wine in his hand, he stood up, walked to the aisle, and saluted Emperor Qing: "Your Majesty! ”

Seeing Emperor Qing beckoning, Fan Xian stepped forward when he saw this.

I only heard Emperor Qing say: "Look at the trance in your eyes, you are quite greedy for cups, right?" ”
