Chapter 46: The Banquet

"This Murong Shen! It's just aggressive~ aggressive! ”

Xu Jing's eyes flashed with anger, and he whispered angrily.

Ma Gonggong Murong Shen and his party were led by the housekeeper to freshen up and settle down.

Both Xie Junshou and General Zheng stayed.

Seeing Xu Jing so annoyed, Xie Junshou couldn't help but sigh: "Murong Shen is young and ambitious, and he has the trust of the prince. This time, it is another decree, and he wants to lead the troops to suppress the bandits. If you think about it, you will be promoted soon. ”

"It is inevitable that such characters will be arrogant and domineering. The prince should be a little patient! ”

The third sister, Xu Ying, is the daughter-in-law of the Xie family. Xie Junshou is an elder by law, and Xu Jing is also polite to Xie Junshou on weekdays.

At this time, Xu Jing's anger surged, he couldn't listen to it at all, and sneered: "I can't bear him, what can he do?" ”

Xie Junshou: "......"

That's right, the prince in front of him is a bully temper. Only others let him, and he never tolerated anyone.

General Zheng's words were much more pleasant: "Murong Shen will soon lead his troops to suppress the bandits, and he won't be able to stay in Beihai County for a few days." The prince ignored him. ”

Xu Jing exhaled a sullen breath and said calmly: "Tonight, I will set up a small banquet in the mansion to entertain Gonggong Ma and Captain Murong. When the time comes, please ask General Xie Junshou Zheng to come with him. ”

During the national mourning period, it is not appropriate to drink and feast on a large scale, but it is okay to set up a small banquet.

General Xie Junshou Zheng responded together, and each of them said goodbye and left.

Xu Jing sat for a while, calmed down, and went to the Beihai King's bedroom.

I could smell the strong smell of medicine from afar.

The King of the North Sea was lying on the bed, his fat body covered with a thick silk cotton bedding. His face was yellow, his eyes were dark, and he looked like a dying wood.

Princess Beihai sat on the edge of the bed, wiping her tears. Xu Wan whispered comfort.

As soon as Xu Jing came in, Princess Beihai stopped crying, and quickly wiped the corners of her eyes: "Chunsheng, don't provoke that Murong Shen." ”

Xu Wan frowned and whispered: "What the mother concubine said is true." Murong Shen looks very powerful and difficult. After a few perfunctory days, just deal with him and leave. ”

Xu Jing was inexplicably bored in his heart, and it was inconvenient to argue with the old lady's sister, so he nodded indiscriminately.

The King of Beihai, who was lying on the sickbed, opened his eyes: "Okay, don't talk about it." Chunsheng knows it in his heart. ”

Xu Jing muttered: "I'm not a child anymore, don't coax me with this tone." ”

The North Sea King smiled laboriously.

At this moment, Xu San walked in.

Xu Jing deliberately sent Xu San, who acted calmly, to "serve the distinguished guests", at this time Xu San suddenly came over, and Xu Jing knew something was wrong: "What's wrong?" ”

Xu San reported respectfully: "Qi Shizi, Captain Murong asked where Zhao Jiafang was, saying that he was going to visit the learned and famous Confucianism Zhao tomorrow. ”

Xu Jing: "......"

Xu Jing Huoran got up, his eyes suddenly fierce: "What did you say?" Say it again! ”

……

"The King of the North Sea is the King of the Superior Domain. Even His Royal Highness the Crown Prince saw the King of Beihai, and he had to call his cousin. ”

"Besides, this is Beihai County, which is someone's territory. We're just over a hundred. The prince is young and vigorous, and if he is really annoyed and turns his face around, it will also be a big trouble. ”

At this time, Ma Sansi and Ma's father-in-law persuaded him bitterly: "Please also ask Captain Murong to restrain a little bit." ”

Murong Shen tugged at the corners of his mouth, and his voice was faint: "Father-in-law Ma, don't worry, I won't delay the business." ”

Yes, this is a tyrannical person who never listens to people's advice.

Ma Sansi was very knowledgeable, and immediately changed the topic: "By the way, how did Captain Murong know Zhao Hanlin?" ”

When Zhao Yuanming resigned, he was a bachelor of Hanlin. According to the practice of officialdom, it is appropriate to call Zhao Hanlin now.

Murong Shen obviously didn't mean to satisfy Ma Gonggong's curiosity, and said casually: "I don't know, I'm just admiring." ”

How could a disciple of a general who grew up in the capital have a relationship with the Confucianism of Qingzhou?

Ma Gonggong's eyes flashed, he smiled, and reminded meaningfully: "Our family advises Captain Murong to have less to do with Zhao Hanlin." Seeing Zhao Hanlin's matter, don't let His Highness know. ”

Murong Shen's eyes froze: "What does Gonggong Ma mean by this?" ”

Ma Sansi smiled again, but refused to say any more.

Murong Shen frowned secretly.

Ma Sansi suddenly came up with such a sentence, which was by no means untargeted. Zhao Yuanming suddenly resigned back then, and it was related to the prince.

There are very few people who know about the hidden secrets.

At least, he didn't know.

Twenty years have passed, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is still haunted, what happened back then?

A personal soldier walked in and said in a low voice: "Captain, the prince sent someone to spread the word, saying that there will be a banquet in the mansion tonight, and Zhao Hanlin will be invited to come." ”

Is this unwilling for him to go to Zhaojiafang?

Murong Shen pulled the corners of his mouth, as if smiling: "Go back to the prince, just say thank you for the kindness of the prince, I will definitely go to the banquet on time." ”

……

An hour later.

Zhao Yuanming's face was full of surprise: "Why did the prince suddenly invite me to a banquet?" ”

It was Xu Shiyi who came to deliver the message. I saw him smile and say, "The prince of the world said, the prince of heaven and earth is a teacher." In the heart of the prince, the position of the master is the same as that of the prince. Tonight, the palace has a banquet, and he wants to invite the master to go. ”

Thousands of wears, but sycophants don't wear.

Zhao Yuanming smiled dumbly and nodded in response.

If you want to go to the palace for a banquet, you have to change into a brand new plain dress and tidy up so that it is not rude.

Zhao Xiyan quickly came over: "Dad, where are you going?" ”

Zhao Yuanming replied casually: "The prince set up a banquet to receive the wind for the Qin mission and invited me to the banquet." ”

Zhao Xiyan frowned slightly.

For some reason, she suddenly felt a little uneasy in her heart.

In fact, this kind of inexplicable uneasiness began as early as the night when I was awakened by a nightmare more than half a month ago.

The Chincha, the Praetorian Guard, the suppression of bandits, the sudden banquet......

"Crescent moon, are you feeling unwell somewhere? Why doesn't your face look good? Zhao Yuanming looked over with concern.

Zhao Xiyan settled his mind and smiled disguisedly: "It's nothing." ”

Zhao Yuanming sighed deliberately: "My daughter is older, and she has more thoughts." Some things are reluctant to say to my father, and it is inevitable. Dad doesn't ask. ”

Zhao Xiyan was amused, her eyes were curved into crescent moons, and her cheeks showed pear vortex: "Didn't my father hide it from me?" ”

Zhao Yuanming replied seriously: "Dad's age is already a bad old man who has been cut into the dirt for a long time. What other secrets. ”

Zhao Xiyan smiled: "Dad is handsome and elegant, bookish, and can be called a middle-aged beautiful man." It has nothing to do with the bad old man. ”

Zhao Yuanming was coaxed into laughing.

In the evening, Zhao Yuanming took a carriage to the Beihai Palace.

Zhao Xiyan stood outside the door and watched the carriage go away. He stood there for a moment before turning and walking.

"Sunset."

A man's voice suddenly reached his ears.

Zhao Xiyan's pupils contracted suddenly, and a chill quickly surged to his limbs from the bottom of his heart.
