This cleansing banquet was a great time for all civil and military officials, and Xiao Yanjun gained fame and fortune.
Xu Wenlan looked at Lan Yuying with eyes full of love, Concubine Li looked at Lan Yuying with eyes full of jealousy, the emperor fell into a daze when looking at Lan Yuying, Xu Wanjun looked at Lan Yuying as if he was sizing up his daughter-in-law, General Zhao Looking at Lan Yuying, he regarded her as his granddaughter-in-law.
Xiao Zimu watched Xia Chu and his concubine Lan Yu Yinglang loving each other so much. On the one hand, he was happy that he had found someone to love, but on the other hand, his heart felt inexplicably sad.
Xiao Muhong looked at Xia Chu and muttered to Xiao Mubai beside her, pouting her mouth from time to time with a look of displeasure on her face.
The Marquis looked at Xia Chu and lamented that the daughter was not allowed to stay. He thought he would argue with General Zhao about which mansion he lived in, but it turned out that he was lucky and moved directly to the inn, taking Su Qian'an with him. Su Qianle also moved there, and the Hou Mansion became increasingly deserted.
There were two couples sitting together at this banquet, namely Du Kun and Shi Jiaying, Zhao Xingwen and Huo Wenshu.
Although Du Kun and Shi Jiaying were going to get married in six days, together with this time, they had only met twice.
The last time they met, Du Hanfei took him to Shi's Mansion to propose marriage, but they only met once and didn't have much conversation.
Therefore, the two of them are sitting together now, a little reserved and polite, which is in sharp contrast to Zhao Xingwen and Huo Wenshu at the other table.
Zhao Xingwen and Huo Wenshu were not a matchmaker ordered by their parents, but they were in love with each other and cherished each other for the rest of their lives. Now they have finally been recognized by their parents, and the emperor's engagement has been a blessing in disguise.
The two of them were sitting together now, their expressions of affection and affection were so sweet that they couldn't be separated from each other.
The Huo Mansion was already sparsely populated, and Huo Wenkang was too young and Huo Tianxiu did not take him into the palace. Therefore, now that Huo Wenshu and Zhao Xingwen were sitting together, Huo Tianxiu was left alone. He looked at General Zhao and the Marquis sitting there He moved to a certain place, and after thinking about it for a while, he moved over and squeezed in with them.
Seeing him forcefully squeezing over, the Marquis laughed at him: "Look at your life-or-death opposition at the beginning, and look at how the young couple is now acting like honey and oil. How do you manage to beat a mandarin duck with a stick?" hand?"
Huo Tianxiu's face turned red with embarrassment, and he didn't dare to look up at General Zhao. He glared at Mr. Hou and said, "Can you not open and lift the other pot?"
For the most part, this dinner seemed to be a happy one. The only person who was worried was Du Hanfei.
Xiao Zimu told him from the palace gate that he would prepare a big gift for Du Kun's wedding. Du Hanfei was still in his thoughts, but Du Ming, who was sitting next to him, was intoxicated after seeing Lan Yuying's beauty. , said to him with a shy face: "Father, I have reached the age of marrying a wife..."
Du Hanfei was depressed and depressed. What Du Ming said made him feel angry. When he glared sideways, he happened to see Du Ming looking at Lan Yuying lustfully without blinking, with a look on his face. He looked so intoxicated that if he put a bowl on his chin at this moment, he would probably be able to fill a whole bowl of saliva.
Du Hanfei originally wanted to scold him angrily, but when he saw him looking like this, he couldn't help but hold his forehead in pain, but he didn't even bother to scold him. He thought that he was so talented in reading poetry and books, how could he give birth to such a son
Du Hanfei looked at Du Kun at the back table. Fortunately, although his eldest son Du Ming was quite decent, he was still to his liking.
His eyes moved to Shi Jiaying next to Du Kun. Now he and the Shi Mansion were also tied together. They both prospered and suffered losses. With Shi Fuqiu's help, why should he be afraid of Xiao Zimu.
I am really getting older, but my courage is getting smaller and smaller.
The emperor was not very interested today. Apart from cheering up when meeting Aodenge Rile, he had been feeling a little sluggish since then. Therefore, he ordered all the officials to enjoy themselves and left first.
The queen and concubines saw that the emperor had left, so they naturally said goodbye one by one. Only Concubine Li stayed and looked at her son and daughter-in-law.
After the emperor and his concubines left, the originally enjoyable banquet became even more lively.
The officials were less restrained and rushed around to chat with each other. There was no shortage of people at Xiao Yanjun's table. There were countless people stroking their beards and walking around to flatter him.
Du Hanfei finally made it to the end of the dinner, got up, greeted Shi Fuqiu, and left the palace together.
General Zhao, Lord Hou and Huo Tianxiu had already left Qinqin Palace together, followed by Zhao Xingwen and Huo Wenshu, followed by Xia Chu and Lan Yuying.
Xiao Zimu called him from behind: "Since I have come to the palace, I will rest in Yongning Hall tonight and will not go back to the inn with you."
Xia Chu nodded and responded: "Okay, then you should rest early."
Xiao Zimu looked at the pair's backs of him and Lan Yuying, and muttered to himself with some disappointment: I was happy to agree.
Xin Ya stood beside him. He saw that his face was a little lost, but he didn't know how to comfort him. Seeing him walking towards the direction of Yongning Hall, he could only follow him.
Xin Ya was thinking about comforting words in his heart, but Xiao Zimu in front of him suddenly said while walking: "Xin Ya, something is wrong with me recently."
Xin Ya instinctively said 'Huh' first, then 'Eh? ' After making a sound, he finally realized what he was doing. He immediately took two quick steps, stepped forward and looked around nervously and asked, "What's wrong with Your Highness? Can I send a doctor over to take a look?"
"Ever since Ah Chu took Miss Lan down the mountain, every time I see the two of them so intimate, I feel inexplicable sadness in my heart. What do you think is wrong with me?" Xiao Zimu waved his hand, with a somewhat expression on his face. At a loss.
Xin Ya said "Ah", he had no experience in this matter, so he could only make wild guesses, and he hesitated after thinking about it.
Seeing that he was hesitant to speak, Xiao Zimu laughed and said, "If you have anything to say, it doesn't matter."
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty..." Xin Ya called out with some stuttering, swallowed twice more to steady his determination, and then spoke with difficulty and continued: "Your Majesty, are you feeling springy?"
…
Xiao Zimu was shocked by his words. He coughed twice first. With an apologetic look on his face, Xin Ya hurriedly patted his back to help him calm down: "Miss Lan is indeed good-looking. I'm afraid Xiao Guo will... I cannot choose a more beautiful woman than her.”
Xiao Zimu glanced at him with a complicated expression. Seeing that he was seriously consoling himself, he couldn't help but think deeply and chew his words carefully.
After being reminded like this, it seemed that every time he saw Lan Yuying and A Chu have some contact, he felt a little sour.
Xiao Zimu pinched his eyebrows with a headache. It seemed that after Du Kun got married, he should go to his mother to discuss his marriage and find a woman for him...
