The dinner was held in the Imperial Garden, there were 100 officials present, with the emperor Li Jiang as the head and sitting, the tables and chairs were placed on both sides, there were beauties singing and dancing pipa in the middle, and the rockery flowers were surrounded by the surrounding hills, and the stars and bright moon were embellished, and the breeze suddenly rose, it was the fairy scene in the world.

Under the emperor's seat, the lower left is Li Yi's Shushan disciple, and the lower right is headed by Prime Minister Li Yu, sitting with hundreds of civil and military officials, all of whom are satin blue official uniforms of more than five grades.

"Ahem. ”

Li Jiangqing coughed twice, although the voice was small, but the audience was silent, and they all looked sideways at him, and the old eunuch on the side beckoned, signaling the singer and dancer to retreat, even the insects under the flowers did not dare to be wanton anymore.

"Today, the immortal master of Shushan came to visit, and I set up a banquet to entertain him, in order to thank the immortal masters for what they have done for Dachong, and they have done their best. Li Jiang said loudly.

Li Yicheng and the others couldn't think of any other words to deal with such a scene for a while, except for the continuous sound of "where".

Fortunately, Li Jiang didn't care about this, and the fact that the Shushan disciples could come to the banquet had already explained something, and he had already achieved his goal.

"Gentlemen. ”

Li Jiang raised his glass high, and the ministers stood up with their glasses.

"Drink to win!"

Li Jiang took the lead and drank all the wine in the cup, and the ministers then drank it all, and except for the three women, the rest of the people in Shushan also drank the wine in the cup.

Li Jiang laughed heartily and beckoned everyone to eat and drink.

The dancing girl singer who had retired before was called up again, and the sheng song sounded, turning and detouring in the courtyard of the deep palace wall, and the cheerful and joyful atmosphere was filled with the mellow aroma of fine wine.

Although Li Yicheng and the others were monks, they were also in their youth, and they looked curiously at the graceful dancing woman in the center of the wine table.

Of course, Tang Feng was an exception, Ouyang Jingyi was eating refreshments on his side, as if he hadn't paid attention to him But Tang Feng dared to guarantee that if his eyes stayed on those dancing girls for a second, there would be a war without gunpowder smoke immediately.

And in fact, Tang Feng was right.

While all the princes and nobles were laughing in the midst of delicious food and wine, only Lao Shangshu was full of sorrow below, and only took a sip of the wine in the cup.

He looked at Li Jiang in the first seat, and he couldn't laugh.

He felt that the man with gray temples and fishtail marks was really old, although he himself was already old, but this was different.

He is just a Shangshu, and he is still an old Shangshu, and for Dachong, his existence can even be replaced at any time. But the man in the dragon robe can't do it, once that man, with an iron sword, cut off 10,000 heads, living in the dragon chair, who dares to speak out?

But now, he needs to show his closeness to those immortal cultivators to the outside world to consolidate his power, his iron sword is afraid that it has long been rusted, he is already old, but his heirs are not enough to support this internal and external troubles......

Lao Shangshu felt more and more sad, and looked at Li Jiang, who was drinking happily on the first seat, and he saw a painful soul roaring powerlessly.

Lao Shangshu shook his head, raised his head and drank the wine in the cup, the wine was as cloudy as his eyes, how he wanted to get drunk like this, a dream is eternal...... But he couldn't, and he didn't dare......

The moon hung in the sky, this sad and absurd banquet in the eyes of Lao Shangshu finally ended, the princes and ministers staggered home with the support of their respective servants, he had no servants, no carriage, only stepped on the moonlight on the road, like a residual candle in the wind, as if it would be extinguished as soon as it was blown.

Li Jiang is a thousand cups of wine that is not drunk, and when the dinner is over, not only is there no fatigue in the day, but he looks radiant, and he smiled and ordered the eunuch to settle the Shushan group in a good place to live, live in the side palace, and the treatment is second only to Prince Le.

And Li Jiang went to the imperial study alone.

Today, there are still twists and turns that haven't changed. He thought so.

Under the leadership of the old eunuch, everyone approached the side palace.

"The palace occupies a large area, and the rules are also large, especially the sleeping palace, even if anyone other than His Majesty is lucky enough to stay on weekdays, they can't walk around at will. However, you are the immortal masters of Shushan, so that's another matter, even if you respect us worldly people, it's better not to move around at will. ”

The old eunuch said on the way.

Qin Shu nodded, "Father-in-law, don't worry." ”

The old eunuch didn't say anything, but he still glanced at the drunken Xiao Yao, and his eyes showed worry.

"You can rest assured, this guy sleeps more than anyone else when he's drunk. Tang Feng said.

Only then did the old eunuch say "eh" and continue to lead the way.

People outside the palace often say that the palace is full of gold, and the snow and silver cover the roof, although the rhetoric is a bit exaggerated, but this magnificent palace house is all in response to that sentence.

Fortunately, Qin Shu and others came from Shushan, and this kind of magnificence and splendor of the building is not as magnificent as the halls of Shushan, but it is a little more extravagant, which is also the cheesiness that the people on the mountain do not like.

"There are a total of thirty-six bedrooms in this palace, and you can choose one place for you to rest, but according to our family's suggestion, it is better to live in a nearby place. The old eunuch said.

The group of people in Shushan lived close, and he also saved the fatigue of walking a few more steps.

"That's it. Li Yi repented.

They stayed here in front of a row of rooms, which was close to the palace gate, and was also sitting in the direction of facing north and south, which was suitable for dwelling.

"How many other immortal masters?" the old eunuch looked at the rest.

"That's it. Li Jingwei said.

The rest also nodded in agreement, with no objections.

"Good. The old eunuch nodded.

Coincidentally, this row counts, no more, no less, exactly eight, one person chooses one.

Then the old eunuch beckoned, and the two rows of palace maids who had been following behind everyone were well-trained to send some bedding, basins, and candle wax into the bedding.

With two incense sticks, eight originally uninhabited palaces were laid out cleanly.

"We'll send someone to bring some hot water later, and the immortal masters will wait. The old eunuch bowed.

"There is Father-in-law Lao. Li Yi repented and returned the salute.

The old eunuch led the accompanying palace maids to retreat, and the disciples of Shushan dispersed after choosing their own rooms, and they were dyed with wine during the dinner, but they were not used to it, especially Yun'er, when those big people in the world toasted each other, he kept pinching his nose and said Enjoy, the only person who feels this way is Xiao Yao, who is soaked in the wine gourd every day.

After a while, a palace maid sent hot water, don't look at the willow waist and thin hands, lifting buckets of water but not shaking at all, even the prince of Tang, who has seen the world, couldn't help but sigh "well-trained".

After everyone washed, they naturally turned off the lights and went to bed, but Li Yiregret's side was different, this young man full of vicissitudes, his eyes were open in the dark, as if he was emitting light......
