One after another exquisite delicacies from the imperial kitchen were delivered to the side hall. The young men coming and going were busy working together. At a glance, there were groups of tables and chairs in the side hall, and the big shots who decided the direction of the Tianyuan Empire were all gathered together. , such a grand occasion is rare!
Naturally, the dishes used to entertain these important people are also extremely particular. The finest ingredients sent as tribute from different places are turned into top-notch dishes in the hands of the world-famous imperial chefs, such as bird's nest, bear's paw, abalone and shark's fin, etc. Yes, it’s all changed a layer of color!
The delicious, delicious and unique wild vegetables were also served on the dining table. The ministers enjoyed the meal, and the monarch seemed to be very happy. He kept raising his glasses. The dignified queen often reminded his majesty to drink less. But this did not stop His Majesty from being happy!
Alfalfa, on the other hand, only took a few sips of wine from beginning to end, not impressed by the deliciousness of the dishes at all. Instead, she kept paying attention to the Qin Empire's envoys. Huang Tian and others were also sizing her up.
Their eyes met in the air almost inadvertently, and both sides could sense each other's attention. Although Huang Tian had a smile on his face and looked harmless, how could the scheming Alfalfa think that the other party was attracted by her beauty? Attention, naturally, I am a little wary of the gazes of Ye Feng and others!
"No, she discovered something. Everyone, please stop looking at her for the time being! Finish this meal quickly, and we can leave early!" Yuxiu felt that something was wrong in the atmosphere, and immediately sent a message from Yuanli to everyone!
In fact, he didn't need to say it. How could Ye Feng and others not see it? It's just that no one was willing to give up this rare opportunity. Therefore, even if they were noticed, they still looked at Alfalfa with their peripheral vision!
Anyway, even if they are discovered, there is nothing the other party can do to break this situation. After all, in front of many ministers, even Princess Alfalfa cannot continue to attack for no reason!
Huang Tian took advantage of this opportunity, took the initiative to pick up the wine glass, and had a silent exchange with Alfalfa! It seems that he is using this unique way to resolve the other party's doubts!
Alfalfa was stunned for a moment. After all, he didn't say anything. He silently picked up the golden bottle and took a few sips again! Huang Tian smiled and drank it all in one gulp. It looked like there was nothing unusual about it! It's more like an admiring couple, which is particularly eye-catching!
Ye Feng was not noticed to be abnormal at all during this banquet. Maybe it was because he was so ordinary when he was disguised by Lian'er, or because his hidden aura was too ordinary, so almost no one paid attention to him, even if he was Everyone is observing Yuxiu, but no one takes him seriously!
However, this just played into his hands. Taking this opportunity, he memorized the faces of most of the people in the side hall. These are all important figures in the empire. If you remember them, nothing bad will happen!
As the etiquette and music played, the banquet gradually came to an end while the eunuchs and maids were carrying the dishes back and forth. Almost all the wine on each table was spilled on the ground. From the initial etiquette, to the drunkenness later Most of the people were so drunk that they fell drunk on the table!
What is surprising is that His Majesty Tianyuan, who hardly put down his glass for a moment, has a surprisingly good capacity for drinking. His eyes are bright and strong, and he has no intention of falling down. On the contrary, the more he drinks, the more energetic he becomes. He even takes advantage of the fact that he is still drunk and does something on the spot. A few little poems! Attracting applause from the audience!
These scenes were really unexpected in Ye Feng's eyes. It was hard to imagine that a banquet between the monarch and ministers could be so enjoyable. This gave him the illusion that this was not a scheming banquet at all, but just a banquet. A congenial friendship!
However, no matter how pleasant the banquet is, it will eventually end. As the saying goes, there is no banquet in the world that lasts forever. The meal service in the imperial dining room finally came to a stop, and the ceremonial orchestra also stopped playing. Seeing a large group of royal relatives All the relatives slept on the wine table!
His Majesty Tianyuan stood up with a blushing face, and said with a smile: "It seems that these pillars of ours seldom drink alcohol on weekdays. If this doesn't work, it doesn't matter, let me take the place of these incompetent guys. , finally give a toast to the messenger and prophet!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Huang Tian and others stood up one after another and replied respectfully: "Your Majesty is serious. How can you accept His Majesty's hospitality? I'll let you do it first out of respect. Your Majesty is free to do as he pleases!"
After saying that, everyone drank the wine in the silver bottle boldly! His Majesty Tianyuan laughed loudly and did his part. At the same time, he took a big breath and said boldly: "Today, I am really happy. If I hadn't thought about you and other important matters, I would have really wanted to stay longer." How many days do you have, forget it, the meal is gone, the music is over, it’s time for you to go and have a good rest!”
"You understand His Majesty's kindness. If you have a long time to come, if you have the opportunity in the future, you will have a few drinks with Your Majesty!" Huang Tian took the initiative to answer and said politely!
Yuxiu and others followed and bowed. His Majesty Tianyuan waved his hands and said with satisfaction: "I am also pleased with your words. Come on, please take good care of the envoys for me. The rooms prepared for them must be of the highest quality." of!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Dengzi on the side exclaimed: "Your Majesty, don't worry, the room prepared for the Qin Empire's envoys has always been of the highest standard and has been properly arranged for them. Your Majesty should also take care of yourself and let the servants support you." Your Majesty, please go and rest for a while!”
His Majesty Tianyuan had indeed drunk a lot of wine. After hearing this, he finally felt relieved. He nodded, waved his hands to all the lovers, and was the first to leave the side hall under the service of the eunuch! The empress followed closely behind, and the ministers who had not yet fallen asleep got up to see her off one after another!
As His Majesty left, the banquet instantly became deserted. The previous bustle was gone, but Huang Tian and others felt relieved. In fact, accompanying a monarch is like accompanying a tiger. Even if it is to dine with the monarch, It is also difficult to let go of caution. It is not an easy task to be in a state of high tension all the time!
However, although His Majesty is gone, things are not over yet, because! Princess Alfalfa, the biggest target, was still in the side palace. Without being drunk, she seemed to be particularly interested in the envoys of the Qin Empire. From the beginning to the end, her eyes never left Huang Tian and others!
Until most of the people in the side hall dispersed, the ones left were all still sober. It could be said that the only sober people left were her and the envoys!
The atmosphere instantly became more tense. Ye Feng narrowed his eyes and said via Yuanli: "What should we do now?"
"Wait and see!" Yuxiu replied!
Lian'er also became a little cautious. As a woman, she seemed to be able to see through the evil intentions contained in Alfalfa's eyes!
However, Huang Tian was a little salty and showed no discomfort at all when observing Alfalfa. Instead, he stood up on his own initiative, facing Alfalfa with a calm smile and said: "If Your Highness, Princess, has nothing to say, then you all have to go ahead." left!"
Strike first! What a quality speech! Even Ye Feng didn't expect that this guy would take the initiative to resign! However, there seems to be no better way to leave than this!
It's a pity that Princess Alfalfa failed to fulfill everyone's wish. She took the rare opportunity to pick up the wine glass again and said with a charming smile: "What's the prophet doing in such a hurry? I still want to have a few more drinks with the prophet. Could it be that the prophet doesn't want to see me so much?" Or is it that I gave you a hard time before?"
As soon as these words came out, Ye Feng and others sighed in their hearts. It seemed that this enchantress really didn't want to let him go so easily!
However, since the home court belongs to her, no one can say anything. Previously, His Majesty was here, and I'm afraid she could use His Majesty's help to suppress Alfalfa. Now that His Majesty is gone, she is the woman with the most power at the moment. Even Huang Tian, If you want to refute her, you have to think twice!
"Since Your Highness has such a kind intention, I will naturally accompany you to the end. However, these few attendants are indeed too tired. I wonder if Your Highness can let them go to rest first? If you want to drink, I think one of you will be enough!"
As soon as these words came out, Ye Feng and others were a little surprised before they had time to think too much. What is this? Does he want to face Alfalfa alone? Even though the possibility of the other party killing Huang Tian in public is very slim, the risk seems to be a bit high!
"Young Master! You must not do this!" Yuxiu was the first to become anxious and immediately said via Yuanli!
Lian'er also holds the objection!
"Prophet, it's too dangerous to do this. Either let us stay with you, or let's go together!"
Ye Feng was silent. Huang Tian's actions were unimaginable, let alone what he was thinking! But there was no room for everyone to make countermeasures, and Alfalfa responded quickly!
"That's very good. Then let your attendants go and rest first. I will stay here and have a few drinks with you! Come on, send the attendants of the envoy and the drunken minister away!"
With just one word, without giving everyone any chance to refute, a large group of guards rushed in and took out the drunken ministers. Several special guards came to Ye Feng and others, staring eagerly and at war with each other. The situation is about to break out!
Although Yuxiu was anxious, she did not dare to do anything ridiculous under the gaze of the guards. Seeing that Princess Alfalfa was about to succeed, Huang Tian sent a message with Yuan Li: "I'm fine, you guys go first, she won't What to do to me!"
"But!" Yuxiu was still a little worried and replied: "At least, let the four soldiers stay!"
Lian'er also said: "Yes! Prophet, this woman is too insidious. No one knows how she will deal with you!"
Ye Feng still didn't speak. Looking at Huang Tian's resolute profile, he seemed to have guessed that he had had such an idea for a long time, but he never told everyone!
"Don't worry, I'll be fine. There are many people who want me to die, but so far, I'm still alive and well. Today, I will walk out safely, because I'm afraid there are no people who can kill me yet. He’s born!”
I don’t know whether he should be called confident or arrogant. Under Yuanli’s voice transmission, his tone was almost commanding, leaving Yuxiu speechless. Lianer also seemed to understand his master’s meaning and no longer insisted. , the four mysterious guards didn't say a word from beginning to end, acting as if they were mute!
Under the leadership of the palace guards, Yuxiu and others left the side hall! Before leaving, seeing Huang Tian alone, holding up the wine glass, smiling at the back of the woman in the hall, everyone's hearts were cast with a bad shadow!
Will that be the last scene they see of Huang Tian? Princess Alfalfa sent everyone away, would she really simply let him go? Although such a rare opportunity is bold and crazy, if you are a crazy person, I am afraid that it may not be impossible to do something crazy!
Huang Tian! What on earth are you planning! Why! Why can’t everyone see through you!
