Chapter 110: The Banquet Begins
Ji Mingyan walked in with a heavy heart, and almost hit the pillar like he had lost his soul. Yun Bai sensed that something was wrong, and hurriedly ran over to hold her in his arms.
"Yanyan, what's going on?"
Ji Mingyan looked up at Yunbai, her heart was mixed, and she didn't know what to say. She took a deep breath and forced a smile, "It's okay, how are you preparing?"
Yun Bai saw the worry in Ji Mingyan's eyes, his heart ached, and he smiled: "I'm almost ready, Mingxue also taught me to dance in the afternoon, and I will take you to dance during the banquet." ”
"Stinky beauty, you're a half-person who is still unashamed to jump with me, thank God don't step on my feet when the time comes. Hearing Yun Bai's carefree voice, Ji Mingyan suppressed the worries in her heart, not wanting Yun Bai to worry.
"I don't believe you asked Mingxue, I danced with her just now. ”
Ji Mingyan looked at Ji Mingxue, Ji Mingxue blushed and nodded, Ji Mingyan smiled: "Okay...... At that time, the little girl will all rely on you, the master of the dance forest. Mingxue, you take Yunbai to get familiar with it again, I'm a little tired, go in and rest. After speaking, he patted Yunbai's head, turned around and walked into the bedroom.
At the moment when Ji Mingyan closed the door, Yunbai's face instantly became gloomy, which made the interested Ji Mingxue very strange.
"Mingxue, please do one thing. Yun Bai's voice was very heavy, and Ji Mingxue was shocked, what could be wrong.
"You say, if only I could do it. ”
"Help me find out where Yanyan went today and who she met. Yun Bai's voice was very calm, and Ji Mingxue could hear the suppressed anger in it. She nodded, and walked briskly out of the hall. Although she hasn't been with Yun Bai for a long time, Ji Mingxue knows one thing, Yun Bai never gets angry, and it's scary to start a fire.
Standing alone in the empty hall, a sneer hung on the corner of Yunbai's mouth, anyone who wants to hurt his loved one must be mentally prepared to bear his anger. These days of comfortable life have never confused his nerves, on the contrary, he is always ready to deal with all kinds of challenges, there was Ji Mingyan to carry it before, and when she couldn't bear it, it was time for her man to take action.
Yun Bai summoned a maid and said, "Inform the head of the guard, Ye Rumei, to come and see me, and urge them to pick up my friend quickly." ”
The maid nodded and turned to you. However, there were some doubts in my heart, and the nervous and joking master also frowned, there must be something big about happening. Thinking of this, the maid consciously quickened her pace.
The banquet was held in the performance hall inside the palace, and the banquet hall was very luxuriously decorated, from the ceiling to the wine glasses, all of which were shining with golden light.
Ji Mingxue couldn't help but purse her lips and laugh when she saw him looking like a dirt bun entering the city: "Most of these things are gilded, not as exaggerated as you think." ”
"You know what I think?"
"You look like a bear, a clear-eyed person can see it at a glance, don't you say, Sister Rumei?"
Ye Rumei was wearing a fiery red evening dress and holding Li Linxi's hand and walked in the luxurious hall, she felt like she was dreaming, as the guards of the royal family, they were not qualified to wear this kind of clothes to appear on such occasions, they were all stained with Li Linxi's light. She wore a beautiful evening gown, and the sisters looked at her with envy, which made her feel very unreal.
Originally, Li Lin was reluctant to come over, but Yun Bai called him and said that something might happen today, and promised to let him have a long face in front of Ye Rumei, so he reluctantly rushed over. Another friend Yunbai invited was Chanel Coco, who couldn't leave for a while because she had something at hand, so she would come later.
However, what made Li Lin strange was that Yunbai put on a suitable royal dress for him, but did not tell what would happen, only said that he would let him press himself at that time. Li Lin was a little inexplicable, but seeing Yun Bai's serious appearance made him feel a sense of crisis, and this banquet tonight might be very troublesome. But his friend is in trouble, and he can't stand by and watch, so he can only bite the bullet.
Ji Mingyan stood outside the door to receive VIPs, so he asked Ji Mingxue to accompany Yunbai, always pay attention to his performance, and prevent accidents from happening. After resting for a while, Ji Mingyan's expression was much better, but the worry in his eyes did not dissipate, which made Yun Bai feel a little distressed, but he didn't plan to tell Ji Mingyan his thoughts, because he knew that he would definitely not be able to get Ji Mingyan's consent. Violence is not the solution to everything, but sometimes it can be effective.
Ji Mingxue called Ye Rumei twice in a row to wake her up, Ye Rumei said: "Ah! What did you say? I didn't hear it, you say it again." ”
Ji Mingxue rolled her eyes, feeling that everyone was weird today. Previously, she had ordered the guards to inquire about Ji Mingyan's whereabouts today, because the palace guards were on shifts, so there was a lot of information, and there would be no news until the evening. Fortunately, today is Ye Rumei on duty, and Yunbai already knows where Ji Mingyan has been in the afternoon. Staying in the palace where Ji Bosch lived for the longest time, Yunbai knew that the problem must be in this place. The time for the banquet was approaching, and Yun Bai didn't have time to think about it, so he could only take one step at a time. With Li Linxi on his side, I believe that he will not be particularly isolated at night.
Li Linxian did not show a trace of surprise and curiosity in the face of such a scene, Yun Bai already knew his body, and he didn't need to cover his ears and steal the bell to deceive himself, but Yun Bai's request made him a little embarrassed, and the whole person looked preoccupied.
The three of them all seemed a little distracted, only Ji Mingxue was more normal, no wonder she felt strange. Fortunately, Ye Rumei finally realized that she was not dreaming after a short period of distraction, and gradually integrated into it and chatted with Ji Mingxue.
The sunset struggled for a moment and finally sank below the horizon, and the night fell, and there was no moon tonight, and a faint layer of thin clouds hung over the night sky.
Ji Mingyan stood in the banquet hall and greeted the arrival of distinguished guests. The banquets of the royal family are all invited by people with heads and faces, or giants, or shopping mall elites, or political dignitaries, and they are all stomped and shocked in any place, and they seem a little unknown in the Bauhinia Royal Banquet Hall. What people are most concerned about is none other than the four major gangs with the Bauhinia royal family and the transcendent Twelve Councillors, who are in charge of the most fundamental rights of the Federation, and the potential upstarts in the gang are those who are likely to hold power in the future, which is worth ...... Climbing.
Originally, Ji Mingxue was ready to introduce some big names to Yun Bai with great interest, but she didn't expect that the people who were present at the beginning were some little-known small characters, not to mention that Yun Bai was too lazy to listen, and Ji Mingxue was too lazy to bother talking about them.
The four of them sat in a small corner of the banquet hall, looking at the handsome men and beautiful women dressed in gorgeous clothes and laughing and whispering, you smile and compliment me, I smile and compliment you, in fact, your eyes are staring at the door of the banquet hall waiting for the arrival of the big man, maybe a touch of eyes can make you move forward from now on, spread your wings. Their current status is beyond the reach of ordinary people, but they have only touched the heels of the big guys. Who doesn't want to climb up, those who preach that plainness is a blessing are incapable people, capable people have climbed to the soles of their feet, and all they need to continue to climb up is luck.
Ye Rumei's cultivation is not bad, and she can hear those people smirking and repeating the ever-changing flattering words when she stays in the corner, once upon a time she and her sisters were still saddened by not being able to enter such a high-end place, and now they came here unexpectedly, and they are 108,000 miles away from their fantasies. As the old saying goes, what you can't get is the best.
Ye Rumei laughed at herself and sighed: "Is it really interesting for these people to say such a few words repeatedly?"
Ji Mingxue smiled: "Everyone, at each stage, uses different pursuits, you feel tired and hateful, I feel vulgar and cheap, but they are tired of it." As long as these pretended performances and conversations can be appreciated by the top people, their later lives will be very different, and this is what they are after. ”
Ji Mingxue paused and continued: "Now the people who come in are all small people, and the most powerful ones are just a few sons and daughters of declining families and upstarts in the shopping mall. After a while, when the people from the big family sect appear, they will rush over like a carp crossing the river, and you will see a different scene at that time. In fact, there are very few people who rely on other people's eyes to climb up and succeed, and even if they climb up, they have to look at the eyes of others and act. But it does allow you to struggle for many years, or even generations. ”
Ye Rumei said with some disbelief: "Is it so exaggerated?"
"Why not? You haven't been in contact with the real high-ups, and you're not in the position of these people who look bright, and you don't know their suffering. It is impossible for a small family to get up without the hard work of several generations, and there must not be too many mistakes in the process of hard work. There are even fewer families that can really maintain three or four generations of undefeated, and they can almost be called one in ten thousand, and these people can grow up under the management of five or six generations of my wealthy family, and they can count all their hands. Especially now that it is peacetime, the federal regulations are stricter, and no one can make a windfall without sanctions, so it is more difficult for them to get up. And in this cannibalistic society, everyone is a prey, either preying or prey, so they break their heads and climb up. ”
"Then they can give up the competition and live comfortably with their family property for the rest of their lives, and they are not short of money anyway. ”
Ji Mingxue glanced at her and said, "Who has tasted the sweetness and doesn't want to continue to taste this sweetness? You think too simply, this is what people often say is easy to go from thrift to luxury, and from luxury to thrift." ”
Ye Rumei smiled: "Princess Mingxue knows so much, where are the guards like us who don't understand anything, they only know how to envy others." ”
"Hey!" Ji Mingxue sighed and said, "It's not a good thing to know more, I expect to be like you...... Forget it, let's not talk about it, you see a big man coming. ”
The three of them raised their heads and saw a dozen young men and women, all of whom had gathered at the gate to block their view. Although the others intended to rush over, they were a step too late, so they could only sigh and wait for the next opportunity.
