Chapter 259: Hongmen Banquet
Zhou even hugged Yan Caier all the way back to the palace, and it quickly spread to the entire imperial city, similar to teahouses, restaurants, street stalls and other noisy places, all talking about the two of them, it can really be described as street talk.
In front of the Yaohua Hall of the Imperial Palace, the two maids saw Zhou Geng, who had not returned all night, and came back with Her Royal Highness the eldest princess, and immediately bowed, pushed open the door, and slowly closed it after he entered.
Zhou Geng gently put Yan Cai'er on the bed, wanting her to sleep peacefully, but how did he know that the other party was holding the white and slender hand around his neck, and he never meant to let go.
"Don't pretend, I know you're awake. Zhou Geng spoke, and after a while, Yan Cai'er didn't open his eyes to respond to him, and he couldn't help but start muttering to himself: "Are you really asleep? Why do you feel like you're pretending to be asleep?"
Zhou looked at each other more carefully, and his eyelids really didn't move, except for holding his hands a little hard, as if he was really asleep.
"It doesn't matter if you're pretending to be or you're actually asleep, just give it a try. Zhou Geng muttered in his heart.
He first blew in Yan Cai'er's ear, if he hadn't fallen asleep, he would have reacted very quickly, which was different from the slow reaction of people who fell asleep.
Zhou Geng blew a few times, but Yan Cai'er didn't move at all, and he began to wonder if he was blowing less, or was the other party not afraid of itching at all?
Immediately afterwards, he picked up Yan Cai'er's soft hair again to test whether she was really not afraid of itching, but he was disappointed, and the other party still did not respond.
"The more you don't react, the more likely it proves that you are pretending to be asleep, or that you are pretending to be asleep, see how I can debunk your little tricks!" Zhou Geng tickled her with both hands, he didn't believe that the other party could really bear it.
Sure enough, Yan Cai'er finally couldn't hold back, snorted out laughing, twisted Xiao Man's waist, dodged his tickling hands, and hurriedly begged for mercy: "Stop, stop...... I'm afraid of itching, don't scratch it!"
Zhou Geng saw her begging for mercy, so he stopped doing it, and said: "If you are afraid of itching, don't let go of the hand holding my neck, be careful that I scratch you again." ”
Yan Cai'er pursed her lips and said angrily: "People just want to hug you, and you are so stingy, be careful and die alone in the future!"
Zhou didn't think so, "Whether I will die lonely or not, I won't bother you to worry about it, you better let go of your hand first, keep this position and I can't breathe well!"
The more he said this, the tighter Yan Cai'er hugged her, and said with a wicked smile: "I think this posture is very good, and it is very secure." ”
After saying that, Yan Cai'er even clamped his bear waist with her legs to see how Zhou Geng broke free, and she kept holding her if she couldn't break free.
"You're a bit too much, I want you to let go of the hand around my neck, but you have to inch into your legs, warn again, if you don't let go, don't blame me for destroying the flowers!" Zhou Geng's face was serious, not a little joking, in fact, since he lost his memory, his expression seemed to be like this, and there was no significant change.
"Ahh......h There's a little bit of anticipation, so hurry up! People can't wait. Yan Cai'er pretended to panic, and then smiled evilly.
"You forced me!"
Zhou Geng was just about to make a move, and Cao Bian's voice begging to see Her Royal Highness the eldest princess came from outside the gate, "Don't stop me, I have something important and tell Her Royal Highness the eldest princess!"
"General Cao, Her Royal Highness the eldest princess is resting, I really can't enter!"
"The stakes are so high at this point that I can only take the liberty of interrupting"
Cao Bian ignored the obstruction of the two maids, forcibly pushed open the door and broke in, the two maids tried their best to dissuade them, they happened to see the two people hugging the bed, their expressions were dumbfounded.
Yan Cai'er immediately let go of the hand holding Zhou Geng, sat up and tidied up her clothes, her expression was dignified and steady, which was very different from the crooked appearance just now.
If it weren't for what they saw with their own eyes, no one would associate the character of being a little lustful, a little bad, and not knowing what to be reserved with, and the temperament displayed by Her Royal Highness the eldest princess in front of them, and they would be completely like two people.
"Ahem...... You two go out first!"
Yan Cai'er spoke, and the two maids obediently withdrew from the Yaohua Palace, she turned her head to look at Cao Bian, and asked, "You just said that there is something important, what is it?"
Cao Bian said: "The general set up a banquet in the Wang Ji Palace to invite the ministers of various families, and the prince is gone!"
"What...... The prince is gone?" Yan Cai'er was a little anxious, the prince was still young, so he didn't need to deal with the government affairs, and he had been staying in his own bedroom, with a special maid to take care of him.
"The palace is heavily guarded, and there is no one who can capture the crown prince except for the general Xiaoren. Zhou Geng analyzed: "Xiao Cheng dared to hold a banquet in the Wangji Palace, it seems that he already regards himself as the master of the Wangji Palace, proving that he is going to take off his disguise and prepare to ascend the throne and claim the king, so he took the prince as a hostage, threatened you, the eldest princess, His Royal Highness, and asked you to obey him in every way." ”
"Just now I passed by the Wang Ji Palace, where many ministers had already gathered, and the general's lieutenant Gu Tian informed me that he wanted me to tell Her Royal Highness the eldest princess that the banquet would start soon, and we would be invited over to the banquet!" Cao Bian said.
"Xiao Ling, this is the Hongmen banquet, I specially invited us over, it is estimated that many soldiers have been ambushed, and they want to kill chickens and monkeys. After Zhou Geng finished speaking, he turned his head to look at Yan Cai'er.
"Yan Wen is still in Xiao Yan's hands, no matter what the banquet is, I have to go, otherwise Yan Wen will be in danger. ”
Yan Cai'er has no way out now, knowing that the other party is setting up a Hongmen banquet, she also has to break through.
The three of them didn't have any preparations, so they went to the meeting alone.
Now that the entire Yan Kingdom is under Xiao Yan's control, no matter what preparations they make, it is useless, even if they want to escape, they can't escape, let alone play tricks under the noses of the other party, because there are people from the other party everywhere.
Wang Ji Hall belongs to the palace where hundreds of civil and military officials go to the court to meet the king, and Xiao Cheng holds a banquet here to tell everyone that he is the owner of this palace now, and he will soon become the king of Yan Kingdom.
Zhou Geng, Yan Cai'er and Cao Bian came to the front of Wang Ji Palace, and Gu Tian seemed to be waiting for the three of them, leading them to their seats in a way that the host received guests.
Yan Cai'er tried her best to suppress the anger in her heart, obviously this was her home, but she was occupied by outsiders, treating her as a guest at the banquet, introducing Wang Jidian and the dishes at the banquet, which was simply a naked humiliation.
If she hadn't considered that her younger brother Yanwen was still in the hands of the other party, he would have been angry and make a big fuss, how could she let this group of people be so arrogant, and she didn't take him as Her Royal Highness the eldest princess in the slightest.
Especially when he saw Xiao Yan sitting on the most noble throne of Yan Kingdom, Yan Cai's childish little hands were trembling, and Zhou Geng was comforting on the side.
