Wu Yu

A few juniors were playing and playing, and the unfamiliar peers were embarrassed to move towards them and wanted to be together.

With kind and shy smiles on their faces, they didn't bother, and stood beside Qingqiu Jue and the others. Xie Lingyu was known to be gentle and easy to get along with. Meng Yi was enthusiastic, and the atmosphere soon became harmonious.

They were chatting happily, but they didn't know that the parents behind them looked over frequently, both relieved and melancholy, Xing Shang looked at Xie Lingyu, then at Qingqiu Jue, and then at Meng Yi with loving eyes.

There is something in my heart that I can't let go, the Xie family boy has a good temper and talent, Huai Jin is resourceful, steady and down-to-earth, the Meng family boy is lively and cheerful, like a half-grown child.

His gaze skipped over the other juniors, all of them were pretty good-looking, and he turned around to ask his wife to understand, the girl is not too young now, and there are some things that should be prepared, but today's encounter, I'm afraid it will be damaged Quite a good name.

Everyone stopped and chatted for a while, and gradually began to walk inside. From a distance, they saw Zhou Xi coming with a group of court ladies and eunuchs, leading them to the banquet place.

The palace maids lead the female relatives, and the eunuchs lead the ministers and princes, Cui Xi smiled faintly: "The time for the palace banquet is approaching, all adults and wives can take their seats first."

The ministers bowed their hands to save face: "Thank you, Lord Long."

Xie Lingyu and his group walked behind them, and the seats in front were reserved for the ministers of the court. These juniors usually hid behind to eat and drink, feeling uncomfortable.

On Xie Lingyu's right is Meng Yi, on the left is Xing Yaxian, and on the right is Qingqiu Jue. After this moment, there is a young eunuch waiting for him. Xie Lingyu never looked back, but he can still feel his restless gaze.

Xie Lingyu raised his eyes and glanced around without a trace. Both the maids and the eunuchs raised their heads. This was a bright surveillance. Everyone was like a mirror in their hearts, but they didn't do anything wrong, and they had a good heart, so they let him go.

Xie Lingyu looked back calmly, rubbed the jade fingerboard on his thumb, and waited for the opportunity.

Qingqiu Jue drank his tea with downcast eyes, and keenly sensed an unkind gaze. He raised his eyes and saw an unattractive guy staring at him with gloomy eyes.

He recalled a little, this person should be Lin Cheng's son Lin Jian.

That's no wonder, the Sun family and the Lin family have always been at odds, and this is on the surface. As the saying goes, one mountain cannot accommodate two tigers. In recent years, Lin Cheng, relying on His Majesty's favor, has a faint tendency to overwhelm the Sun family.

Unexpectedly, this son dragged Lin Cheng back, losing to Sun Qian everywhere, and losing many people to Lin Cheng.

Qingqiu Jue thought it was funny, and nodded at Lin Jian with his expressionless face, which made Lin Jian's eyes widen suddenly, as if a firecracker had been set on fire, and almost jumped up on the spot, fortunately, he was still a little sensible .

Lin Cheng beside him glanced at Lin Jian warningly, Lin Jian took a sip of wine in hatred, and held back his breath, Qingqiu Jue lowered his eyes, hiding his merit and fame deeply.

This Xie Lingyu couldn't find the right time, so he could only move his hands and feet during the salute, but Meng Yi saw that he hadn't moved for a long time, and was anxious, thinking that he couldn't help, so he had an idea.

He said to Qingqiu Jue: "Brother Sun, can you change your position, I want to chat with Mr. Zhao about some novelty."

Mr. Zhao had a good mouth, and he didn't stop talking. He immediately turned his head when he heard the words, warmly invited him, and said to Sun Qian: "Brother Meng understands me, can you help me?"

The two were like confidants who hit it off right away, Qingqiu Jue nodded, understanding his thoughts in his heart, and sat beside Xie Lingyu as he said.

Xie Lingyu thought about the salute, and looked at the people beside him a little worried, asking Qingzhai to kneel down and kill him, it would be somewhat difficult for a strong man, but if he didn't kneel, it would be even more unreasonable.

Seeing that Xing Yaxian kept eating the fruit plate on the table, it seemed to others that the girl was lively and cute, informal, but in fact she was nervous and used this to cover up.

Seeing that she was about to finish eating the fruit, Xie Lingyu finally couldn't stand it anymore, and said tactfully: "Sister Yaxian, the palace banquet has not started yet, if you are thirsty, pour a glass of water to cool down."

As Xie Lingyu spoke, he picked up the kettle, and the little eunuch behind him took it as soon as he touched it. The little eunuch said respectfully, "Don't move, my lord, just come and serve me."

Xie Lingyu's smile remained unchanged, but the palms under the sleeves were clenched into fists, and he nodded.

Suddenly, a shrill voice sounded: "Your Majesty is here—"

All of a sudden, the huge banquet fell silent. When everyone was leaning over, Xie Lingyu's wide sleeves passed over Xing Yaxian's teacup. The pill melted in water, so there was no problem.

He felt relieved, turned his head and saw Qingqiu Jue who was about to kneel down without saying a word, he obviously had no expression, but made people feel uncomfortable for no reason, Xie Lingyu frowned, and a trace of struggle flashed in his eyes.

Finally, when the opponent's knee touched the ground, he clenched his hand into a fist, just under his knee, and the wide sleeve robe covered all of this, Qingqiu Jue's expression showed a moment of astonishment.

Soon he understood what Xie Lingyu meant, and he clenched his other hand and put it under his other knee. He didn't know if he was shocked or what, Qingqiu Jue felt his heart beating like a drum.

It burns like strong wine in your throat, but you can't taste it.

"Long live my emperor—" everyone bowed and shouted in unison.

Among the crowd, they could hardly be seen. It's not that Qingqiu Jue had never knelt before, but his back was always straight, neither humble nor overbearing. At this moment, he didn't think it was a big deal, thinking that bowing to the dead would be a serious killing Went to the grave.

It's just that when a fist was suddenly stuffed under his knee, he looked down at Xie Lingyu's sleeve robe intertwined with him, and he found that his heart seemed to be gently scratched by something, it didn't hurt, but it was sore itch.

"Everyone loves you." With a wave of Chonglu's sleeve robe, he sat on the highest place.

When everyone sat down flat, Xie Lingyu retracted his fists calmly, Qingqiu Jue tilted his head, his eyes were not always ridiculed and harsh, but there was deep meaning in his dark eyes, hiding a little bit of bewilderment deep inside.

After a long time, he whispered, "Thank you."

However, Xie Lingyu didn't hear clearly, so she leaned over and asked, "Well, what?"

Poor someone who is missed once in a thousand years.

Uncomfortably flashed across Qingqiu Jue's face, he pointed to the fruit on the table and said, "I said you eat grapes, sweet."

Xie Lingyu didn't think much about it, and peeled it according to the words, who knew that just after entering the mouth, he was so sour that he couldn't speak immediately, his expression was contorted for a moment, and he almost cursed out his voice.

At this time, it was very rare for the superior to show a smile. Seeing this, Xie Lingyu sneered in his heart, and knew at a glance that he couldn't hold back a good fart.

"How are you ladies doing lately?"

Chong Lu said slowly, it seemed that it was just chatting, and those who didn't get the news didn't know why, but he still said a few words to save face, and the atmosphere became warmer.

Chong Lu nodded with a smile, looking like a wise gentleman.

There is a monk sitting on the right side of him, looking very indifferent, this person is the imperial teacher appointed by Chongkill, Master Dengji has deep brows and eyes, and the temperament of his whole body is like a hermit master sitting on a mountain peak, his eyes It was very light, falling lightly in one place, but nothing seemed to catch his eyes, all separated by a layer of veil.

Zhou Xi cleared his throat, and the little eunuch beside him understood, and waved to the distance. Suddenly, there was a lonely and quiet whistle, and everyone stopped what they were doing, and looked up.

I saw the sleeves fluttering and heard the sound of the piano, the graceful dancer came to the hall with lotus steps, the mist swayed under her feet, her body was soft and boneless, her dancing posture was as light as a swan goose, her frowns and smiles were bright and beautiful It's so touching that it makes people go crazy.

The ministers couldn't help but relax, their faces were no longer serious and tense, they all poured a small wine and talked and laughed with the neighboring table, and sipped a piece of fruit to quench their thirst. Ling Yu chatted for a few words.

He pretended to be flawless, and when he heard that the inconspicuous person finally spoke human words, Xie Lingyu calmed down, turned around and saw Xing Yaxian having a good conversation with another lady, the two of them covered their faces and smiled, lol It's not that tense anymore.

He looked at the teacup and said warmly: "Sister Yaxian, the tea is cold."

Xing Yaxian nodded and smiled at the young lady: "I enjoyed chatting with Sister Xu so much that I forgot to drink water."

Made the girl laugh, Xing Yaxian picked up the teacup, drank a few sips slowly, and joked with Miss Xu's family while drinking, Xie Lingyu finally felt relieved.

Sitting on the dragon chair, Zhong Lu saw them talking and laughing, and hummed a meaningless syllable from his nasal cavity.

Zhou Xi's expression was normal, as if he didn't hear the cold snort at all.

Master Dengji didn't drink alcohol, but just took a sip of hot tea and closed his eyes to rest his mind during the noisy banquet.

The dancer girl withdrew earlier, she had drunk three rounds before she knew it, Chong Lu raised her eyelids, Zhou Xi shouted: "Everyone be quiet."

Xie Lingyu has been paying attention to the superior seat, and seeing this put down the wine glasses in their hands together with others, everyone's faces are much rosier, and they seem to be slightly drunk.

Only then did Chong Lu say in a deep voice: "Everyone, do you know why I want to hold this palace banquet?"

There was silence below, and no one dared to speak up.

He was not annoyed by the heavy killing, and said to himself: "When the national teacher was traveling around the world, he passed a small town. There was a plague in this town. The situation is very serious. ?”

This time the banquet was completely blown up. Everyone was still a little confused at first, but now they were so scared that they were completely awake.

Seeing the discussion between you and me at the bottom, no one volunteered. The creases on his brows indicated his impatience: "Why, none of you here are willing?"

Hearing his displeasure, the courtiers broke out in a cold sweat, and they were about to stand up and kneel down immediately, but Zhong Lu waved his hand: "Okay, don't do this with me, if you don't want to, then I have to choose it myself." .”

Hearing the word "self", Xie Lingyu had a bad intuition.

Chonglu paused for a moment when his eyes swept over him, Xie Lingyu settled down, but saw Chonglu suddenly look at Lin Jian who was gloating beside Lin Cheng: "Young Master Lin is not young now, I would like to experience it ?”

Xie Lingyu looked over in surprise.

Lin Jian originally wanted to go to the theater, but when he heard this, his face turned pale, and he looked at his father Lin Cheng as if asking for help.

Unexpectedly, Chong Kill suddenly lowered his face: "Is it scary, Lin Jian, why do you always look at General Lin?"

Lin Cheng frowned, kicked his son under the table, and scolded in a low voice: "What are you thinking! Why don't you kneel down?"

Lin Jian knelt down helplessly, and tremblingly said: "Your Majesty...Your Majesty...I am really inexperienced. I'm afraid that a big event will be ruined and tens of millions of lives will be lost!"

Chong Lu didn't speak, a tense atmosphere spread at the banquet, Lin Jian was shaking like chaff, and his forehead was covered with cold sweat.

Lin Cheng unconsciously sat up straight, and clenched his fists under his sleeves into fists. Just when he was about to stand up and beg for mercy, Chong Lu suddenly smiled, and the anger on his face was swept away: "I just ask you Whether you want to practice or not, if you don’t want to, then just sit down.”

Lin Jian's pale face showed ecstasy for a moment, then he realized that something was wrong and quickly restrained himself, kowtowing to Chong Lu: "Thank you, Your Majesty Long En!"

Chong Lu waved his hand, sarcasm flashed in his eyes, his eyes scanned the surroundings, suddenly landed in a corner, and laughed again.
