Chapter 462 – The Night Banquet at the Palace
After the spring festival, it was customary to have a very grand palace dinner, with the hundred officials collectively in the outer palace, and the emperor presiding over the banquet. Grant family members into the inner palace, by the empress reception.
According to reason this year, the situation is not very suitable for large banquets, after all, the emperor is paralyzed, so many people gathered in the palace drinking feast is not very good look. But a thousand years of inertia of the strong, not because of an emperor lying ill and change. The palace was still decorated with lanterns and firecrackers, and everyone wore red and purple to the banquet.
According to reason should be Liu Wanxi presided over the inner palace family, foreign ministers let who host a bit of trouble, there is a prince, if the prince presided over it, now?
In this matter, Liu Wanxi consulted Ji Qingyuan’s original opinion, Ji Qingyuan said, so that the second prince Ji Wuli and the eighth prince Ji Wuyou jointly hosted on behalf of.
This is a very easy to produce a special interpretation of the signal, Ji Qingyuan is also not easy, unwilling to let a single host, came up with a co-host of the broken approach. This approach is very twisted, co-host, who said the speech? First wine who toast? Simply messy.
But Liu Wanxi also lazy for Ji Qingyuan wipe this ass, love what you want, she misses her lover, once back to the palace on the joy to Xue Mu to report the good news.
“Really sealed Pingyang ah?” Xue Mu laughed: “Then is she involved in the outer palace or the inner palace tonight?”
“Her position as Chief Arrestor is important, so naturally she’s participating in the Hundred Officials’.”
“Well ……”
“What, want to eat the princess?”
“Which is the case, I want to let Curry Night and Lone Shadow pretend to be a palace maid to play, Curry Night has been making a fuss for a long time. The officials’ inner families don’t know them, it doesn’t matter. If Xiahou was there, it would be bad for her to see them instead.”
Liu Wanxi laughed, “What’s so bad about it, you think Xiahou really can’t guess that you’re hiding in the palace? Then it would be a waste of time to be the chief constable.”
“Uh? She guessed?”
“Obviously. Maybe even guessed that I’m your person ……” Liu Wanxi blushed and whispered, “Anyway, the way she looked at me wasn’t quite right ……”
“Maybe this enthronement made her realize that I can exert influence with you, and combined with professional sensitivity, guessing is really not uncommon.” Xue Mu mused, “Eunuch Li wasn’t exposed, was he?”
“Shouldn’t have.” Liu Wanxi blushed and said, “It’s already enough ah, she realized that you’re stealing noble consort, this can tolerate, this tolerance for you is already not easy, I’m afraid that a cavity of the heart are tied to you, the principle are backed down.”
“Eh eh? Realizing that you’re my man and realizing that I’m stealing your consort, those are two different things, right?”
“For other men, maybe it’s two different things, but for you ……,” Liu Wanxi smiled and said, “Really think it’s the first day Xiahou Di knew you?”
Xue Mu gambled, “I clearly refused at first!”
Liu Wanxi smiled and went into his arms, “Alright, alright, I’m the one who seduced you.”
This full-fledged festival dress, noble and compelling, soft jade and warm fragrance next to the arms, Xue Mu a little heartbeat, but also know that it is not the time, helpless, “You are now also seducing me …….”
Liu Wanxi charming voice: “Small Xuezi eunuch want to accompany the Palace to the banquet, see what officials within the family can steal?”
“You’re the little boot ……”
“I’m the little round ……”
Xue Mu’s big hand covered a certain place and gently rubbed: “Is it round here?”
Before Liu Wanxi could answer, Curry Night jumped in wearing a little courtesan outfit, “Nonsense, where is she round, I’m the little round one!”
“…… “Xue Mu awkwardly withdrew his hand and cupped Curry Night’s face and rubbed it twice in death, “Such a small palace maid, will others be surprised when they see her?”
“It’s nothing, it’s not like there aren’t any five or six year old palace maids in the palace, most of them are held by the eunuchs of the Hall of Offerings to be heirs, when Xiahou also used this name.” Liu Wanxi lazily got up to organize her messy clothes, casually said, “Curry night these days in the palace and almost all the palace maids are mixed up, everyone looks at her like a baby.”
Xue Mu laughed, “She’s too idle, she’s almost gained a round of weight from eating.”
Curry Night protested, “I’m not idle, I’m serious.”
“Serious about what?”
“Serious about being the child king, now they all call me sister!”
Motherfucker you a twenty four …… no, now twenty five girl, go to do five or six year old girl child king!
Outside Ye Lujing started coughing, “Time is almost up, little boot eunuch do you want to go ah?”
Xue Mu glared at her, and was tempted to retort Little Leafy Sister do you want to go against the food ah?
But think about this sister has been bullied by himself enough tragedy, words to the mouth or put back, did not go to take advantage of this verbal cheap.
Thought for a while, or said: “Go or not, not surprisingly, Xiahou will come to me.”
Small boots eunuch followed the princess to preside over the inner palace feast, peeping which of the hundred officials’ family members is the most beautiful, the scene warbling is very eye-catching.
The enfranchised ladies also know that now your consort is in charge of the internal and external power, all flattered to no avail, along with the “small boots eunuch” “small leaves courtesan” have become the object of the ladies of the flattering, the delicate hand quietly touched over, secretly stuffed you with a piece of jade ah whatsoever! ……
Ye Guying did not move to collect the money, Xue Mu did not move to mooch the oil, all happy.
As for the banquet of officials in the outer palace, the atmosphere was not quite right.
Even the opening speech didn’t know how to say, Ji Wuli and Ji Wuyou both stood awkwardly side by side in the main seat, not knowing who would stand up first and speak better.
Ji Wu Xie usually didn’t want to show any fighting, but not at this time.
When he humbled himself, the people who bet on him would be disappointed, it was called having to push on without fighting.
“Thumb ……” Ji Wu Xing sneered, pouring his own wine to drink.
Ji Wuli found an excuse to have a fit, a slap on the table: “Hundred officials have not yet opened the table, you an be so rude!”
Ji Wuxing looked askance, “None of your business?”
“Asshole!” Ji Wuli’s complexion was ironic: “Pull down this disgraceful and rebellious fanatic!”
“Slow!” Ji Wuyou finally got up and pressed his second brother’s hand, “Don’t make a scene, it’s not like that with all the officials watching.”
Ji Wu Li sneered, “Hypocrites.”
Ji Wuyou’s complexion clouded over, the hundred officials looked at this farce, looking at each other in silence.
Xiahou Di’s green face rose up openly, striding towards the main seat: “Today is the great joy of Xiahou’s return to the clan, so how about letting Xiahou say a few words?”
Ji Wuyou smiled faintly and stepped aside, “It should have been so.”
Ji Wu Li is not good to say anything, also give way, Xiahou Di strides to the middle of the two, raised his cup: “National prosperity, not rely on heaven’s help, really rely on your colleagues work together, Xiahou here to honor all of you a cup!”
The ministers roused themselves, “Congratulations to Princess Pingyang on recognizing her ancestor and returning to her family!”
“Let’s drink to victory!”
The ministers all drank, Xiahou Di tilted his neck to drink, inverted the glass cup, laughed: “Everyone is a martial artist, Xiahou even all the time with the jianghu, there are not so many rules, let go of the food and drink!”
Su Duancheng then laughed: “This is this prime minister thirty years heard the most dry speech, all freeze what?”
The ministers all laughed, the atmosphere instantly relaxed down, into the banquet should look like.
Li Yingqing Zheng Yezhi Chen Qianzhen three great patriarchs sat together, each exchanged a glance, and all sighed in unison.
Xiahou Di left the main seat, once again giving way to her second brother, eighth brother, and turned to carry the wine jug and turned in front of the three patriarchs, smiling, “Xiahou toasts you all.”
“Princess Pingyang is polite.” All three rose, Zheng Yezhi laughed, “A woman is not like a man, Xinran.”
Xiahou Di said, “It’s better to call out Xiahou’s name, what with the princess sounding uncomfortable.”
The three all laughed, “Sooner or later, you have to get used to it.”
Xiahou Di shook her head and didn’t say anything, only drinking three cups in a row.
The three patriarchs all narrowed their eyes, they could see that Xiahou Di was not in a good mood, this drinking she did not move her power to suppress at all, she was really drinking.
She wanted to get drunk?
