Counting the time, Mao Feng felt that Ling Chuyao should be almost settled, so he personally came to invite Ling Chuyao and Zhuge Linlang to attend the evening reception banquet.
"Originally, the prince and the princess should come to invite the official after they arrived in Huazhou, but I heard that the princess was unwell, and the official did not dare to come to the door hastily. Now it is estimated that the princess and princess should have a rest. A banquet was held in the palace to introduce officials from Huazhou to the prince."
Ling Chuyao smiled, "Then trouble Mao Cheng to guard, and this king will definitely make the appointment as scheduled."
"Haha, that's good, that's good, then tomorrow you will be waiting for the prince and princess to drive in the city guard mansion."
After Mao Feng left, Ling Chuyao entered the room and saw Zhuge Linlang sitting by the window, holding his chin with his hand and looking outside in a daze.
"What are you thinking about?" Ling Chuyao asked in the past, holding the waist that hadn't thickened even though she was pregnant.
Zhuge Linlang said: "I didn't think about anything. I just looked at the outside and felt that the northwest was really different from the capital. This season, if you are in the capital, the water lilies in front of the water pavilion have already bloomed?"
"Yeah." Ling Chuyao rubbed Zhuge Linlang's face, "Want to see lotus flowers? How about my king ordering people to dig a lake here and plant lotus flowers in it?"
Zhuge Linlang snorted and laughed, "Huazhou is not suitable for planting lotus flowers. Even if they are planted, they may not survive. And if you do this, how will the people of Huazhou see me?"
Ling Chuyao disdain, "This king is willing to spend money on my princess and smile, what's wrong?"
"Forget it, I don't want to go out and be pointed."
"They are jealous."
Zhuge Linlang smiled crookedly, wondering if it was because of her pregnancy that the aura in her body became much softer.
"Tomorrow Mao Feng will let us go to a banquet."
Zhuge Linlang felt a little bored thinking of the big fish and meat at the banquet, and her current body was not suitable for going out, so she said, "Go by yourself, I won't go."
Ling Chuyao also thought that the first three months that Feiling had told Fei Ling had not to sit on the fetus, it was not suitable to travel, and did not reluctantly, but only responded, and then hugged her to watch the sunset outside sinking bit by bit.
In the evening of the second day, Ling Chuyao stared at Zhuge Linlang and drank a bowl of chicken soup before leaving the house. A dignified prince did some old mother behaviors, which made Zhuge Linlang feel helpless.
After arriving at the city guard mansion, Mao Feng came out to greet him in person, making many officials who had already arrived curious as to who could let Mao Feng, who commanded the northwest, go to the gate to greet him in person.
Mao Feng led Ling Chuyao into the banquet hall. There were already a lot of people sitting inside. Seeing the two of them coming in, they all guessed Ling Chuyao's identity.
Some people have already heard of someone coming from Jingli, and they have more or less speculation when they see Mao Feng's behavior.
"Everyone, this is our prince Chu from Dayan, who just arrived in Huazhou a few days ago. It's rare for the prince to show his face tonight, let's not get drunk or go home!"
When everyone heard it, they stood up and saluted. Ling Chuyao filled the glass in front of him and said: "This king has just arrived in the northwest, and there are many things to rely on you, this king will do it first!"
Others followed suit.
After sitting down again, singing and dancing were in full swing, and many people began to toast to Ling Chuyao under various excuses. Ling Chuyao did not refuse to come, but it made many people think about him.
For example, the Hussar General Lu Qiao who guards the northwest.
Although you can’t judge a person’s character or something just because of his performance at the wine table, Lu Qiao was born in the army and was used to going straight to each other. He was the most impatient of those who pushed back and blocked four mothers-in-laws. Ling Chuyao was so happy that Lv Qiao was so happy. His rejection is a bit less.
Although Ling Chuyao was drinking with different people, his eyes slowly wandered around the audience, and finally fell on Lu Qiao.
Speaking of Lu Qiao, this is probably the only strange thing in Dayan.
He was born in martial arts and was a champion in Xuanle's fifteenth year, but because he first entered officialdom, his temper was too straightforward. Every time he offended people, he didn't know it. As a result, people who were with him stay in the capital , Only he still stayed in the northwest.
Ling Chuyao has not been in the northwest for a long time. There are only a few things that can be seen from this banquet tonight. Other things need to be investigated in detail. Before he leaves the northwest, he must hold this power in his hands!
The hand holding the wine glass was hard, a white hand covered Ling Chuyao's hand, and a delicate and soft voice said in Ling Chuyao's ear: "The prince has something on his mind? Holding the wine glass so hard, my concubine feels distressed. ."
Ling Chuyao returned to his senses and found a very enchanting woman kneeling and sitting beside him not far away. He looked at Mao Feng, and Mao Feng said, "Master, this is the top brand of Xinghualou in Huazhou City. The name is Yanran. The lower officer brought me here to serve you."
"Xinghualou? Top card?" Ling Chuyao repeated the two words, obviously there was no trace of anger on his face, but Mao Feng's heart beat a drum.
He smiled forcefully and said: "Yes, yes! Yanran does not sell herself, so many people go to Xinghualou just to spend a lot of money to see her!"
Ling Chuyao's eyes became more and more disdainful, "Since I'm a performer and don't sell himself, how come I will come to this king tonight? Lord Mao, did you see this king first come here and you deceived this king?"
"I don't dare to subordinate the official," Mao Feng hurriedly knelt down, "Yanran is indeed an unscrupulous woman. If the prince likes it, the subordinate can redeem her for her, so that Yanran will only serve the prince from now on. ."
Yanran's eyes gleamed on the side, but her head was drooping, and no one noticed at all.
Ling Chuyao glanced at the silent woman with a blank face, "This king is not so lucky! If you are interested, you can keep it for yourself!"
Yan Ran's face became a little ugly. The handsome prince and a potbellied county guard, even a fool knew how to choose, let alone the Yanran who wanted to be in front of the nobles? It's just that those people who don't have enough status are just those people who don't have enough status!
But now Ling Chuyao doesn't want her
Ling Chuyao stood up and walked out, "This king's words will not be repeated a second time, I hope Master Mao can do it for himself!"
Ling Chuyao was gone, so naturally there was no need for others to stay. Lu Qiao deliberately walked to Mao Feng when he went out, and chuckled softly: "Mao, how do you feel like stealing chicken and not eating rice?"
Mao Feng glared at Lv Qiao, and when he responded with an indifferent shrug, he wanted to let this person never see the sun again!
But Lv Qiao still can’t move for the time being. The place in the northwest is far away from the imperial power. After a long period of change, the local power has formed a balance. Mao Feng naturally understands the principle of moving the whole body. No one has been found to succeed Lu Qiao. Once there is a candidate, Lu Qiao will naturally no longer exist.
