Chapter 454: Don’t eat for free, one person gets a banknote
"If you hadn't sent someone down, I might not have been able to get in. You don't even know how cruel Princess Dongsi is, and she even reported to the officials to arrest me." Ye Qianning was a little annoyed when she mentioned it.
“I think she is quite fierce.”
“Yeah, I’ve never seen such a fierce old woman, she’s quite evil.”
"Evil? Evil door?" He Lianchen asked.
“Well, I always feel like she is like the mother-in-law from hell...”
“What is Hell’s mother-in-law like?” He Lianchen was very curious.
"that is…"
The two children began to discuss without betraying anyone, completely ignoring the Prince Consort of Dongsi sitting opposite them, whose face was already ugly.
"Ahem...Miss Xiang is so happy today." Prince Yu saw Princess Dongsi coming in and coughed suddenly, interrupting their whispers.
“I was originally in high spirits, but I met someone who was a disappointment.” Ye Qianning said and took a look at Chu Yue who came in.
Chu Yue pretended not to see it and walked in. A row of maids from behind came up with food.
Prince Yu smiled when he heard this but did not answer.
"Miss Xiangjia, you didn't come to see the Nanyuan envoy. You have something important to talk to Prince Yu and the young prince." Chu Yue sat down and smiled with her red lips raised.
He Lianchen was a little surprised: "Did you come to us specifically?"
“I knew it was you who was invited to Dongsi’s banquet, so I thought of what my aunt told me a few days ago.” Ye Qianning said.
He Lianchen's eyes lit up: "Is the piano ready?"
“Well, my aunt asked me to tell you that you can go and get it.”
“That’s great.” He Lianchen was delighted.
Chu Yue chuckled softly: "The important thing to Miss Xiang is a piano? Haha, children will always be children."
“Isn’t Qin important?” Ye Qianning stared at He Lianchen.
He Lianchen immediately said with a serious expression: "It's important."
“Then why did Princess Dongsi speak rudely and mock me for being a child?”
“Maybe she can’t play the piano.”
“Oh…that’s really a fool’s errand.” Ye Qianning suddenly realized.
He Lianchen nodded heavily.
The corners of Xi Liuyuan's mouth slightly raised, and it disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Prince Yu: “…”
My silly nephew!
The Prince Consort Dongsi’s face was already darkened.
Chu Yue’s smile froze, and she clenched her fingers in her sleeves, warning herself not to get angry.
"Haha, princess, don't mind. Children's words are unbridled, children's words are unbridled." Prince Yu smiled and spoke in an official tone.
"Of course not." Chu Yue nodded and smiled: "I have been in Kyoto City for more than half a month and I haven't officially visited you. It's really rude. Dongsi will say goodbye and return in a few days. Today I specially prepared wine and food as a gift to you. ”
The maid put the food on the table, then brought the most famous drunken drink in Kyoto City, Immortal Zui, and filled it for several people.
“Princess Dongsi, you’re welcome.” Prince Yu smiled.
Xi Liuyuan raised his eyes lightly: "Did Princess Dongsi and the Prince Consort represent Dongsi to meet me in the west?"
“Exactly.” Chu Yue smiled.
"The delegation led by the Fifth Prince of Dongsi congratulated them on their birthday. Why didn't the Fifth Prince come forward?" Xi Liuyuan asked again calmly.
Chu Yue's face stiffened slightly when she heard this. She looked at him and said, "Fifth brother has been ill recently, so I have left all matters to this palace. If there is any negligence today, please forgive me, Prince Xilan."
“The style of the country in Dongsi is really open, and women can handle the affairs of the court.” Xi Liuyuan’s voice was cold and high-pitched, with a childlike innocence that had not yet completely transformed.
"The prince has misunderstood. As a woman, I do not dare to talk about the affairs of the country. Today, I am just following the instructions of my fifth brother to entertain the envoys to show the friendship between Dongsi, Xilun and Nanyuan. There is nothing else." Chu. Yue speaks sincerely.
The Prince Consort of the East, Qin Huai, secretly observed the Xiliu Yuan.
"If I had known about the princess's affairs, the young king would never have attended the banquet." Xi Liuyuan didn't wait for Dong Si to recover, and said calmly: "Regardless of state affairs, banquets are a waste of time."
Chu Yue’s expression changed slightly, and she guessed Xi Liuyuan’s intention.
Ye Qianning sighed secretly, this guy really has something.
Prince Yu should not worry about himself. To survive in the cracks, speaking less is the most correct choice.
He Lianchen didn't have much insight. Apart from knowledge, he didn't know much about court affairs and didn't want to learn. He turned to look at Ye Qianning and said, "After dinner, I will go with you to the general's mansion to pick up the piano. OK? "
"...Okay, let's eat first. I'm so greedy during the lockdown. Don't drink from the pot of immortality on your table. I'll take it with you when you go back later." Ye Qianning whispered.
“I don’t drink.”
"Well, I'm a little hungry. If you can't finish it, give me some." Ye Qianning turned to look at Luo Wen.
Rowan knelt down, picked up the bowl and chopsticks and served her dishes.
He Lianchen curled his lips when he saw this, took the food on his table and put it in front of Ye Qianning's table: "It's all for you."
“Thank you, I’ll ask my aunt to make you cakes later.” After Ye Qianning finished speaking, he turned around and opened his mouth.
Rowan picked up a piece of meat and put it in her mouth naturally.
He Lianchen’s little brows furrowed and he couldn’t help but said: “How old are you, and you still have to be fed when you eat?”
She is really as lazy as ever.
Ye Qianning chewed a mouthful and swallowed it, and said leisurely: "Who allowed this condition." "..."
It’s true!
He Lianchen was a little jealous. The Xiang family's aunts were the same as other people's families. The little fat guy was so lucky. Not only were his aunts nice, but they also had so many.
“Cough.” Prince Yu coughed lightly.
He Lianchen turned around and met Uncle Wang's warning eyes. He muttered and closed his mouth knowingly.
Ye Qianning had nothing to do with herself. She leaned on the chair and opened her mouth to eat the food brought to her mouth by Luo Wen.
Chu Yue glanced dissatisfied and guessed what the Prince of Xilun meant. However, she was a princess. If she said something, it was rumored that it would be difficult to go to Dongsi.
The matter can only be pinned on the consort Qin Huai.
Xi Liuyuan stood up and said, "Everyone is chatting, but Xiao Wang will not accompany me."
"Prince, stay." Qin Huai stood up.
“Xiao Wang said that gatherings that don’t talk about state affairs are a waste of time.” Xi Liuyuan’s plain voice was a little lazy.
"Prince, please don't leave in a hurry. Today, one is to establish friendship between various countries, and secondly, there are indeed some things that I need to discuss with the prince." Qin Huai said respectfully.
“If it is a state matter, please invite the five princes of your country to come and discuss it in detail. As for you, it will be spared.”
"Yes, I will invite the prince to come here. His Royal Highness will wait for a moment." Qin Huai picked up the wine glass on the table and said, "I am offering a toast to the prince."
Xi Liuyuan lowered his eyes slightly. When he raised his eyes again, there was a hint of interest in his eyes, and he sat down leisurely: "Xiao Wang is too drunk, so there is no need for this glass of wine."
“Yes.” Qin Huai drank the wine and sat down with a smile.
Chu Yue felt a little relieved when she saw Xi Liuyuan sitting down. After all, they had something to ask for from Xi Lu. If Xi Liuyuan left, wouldn't all their previous efforts be wasted.
There was only one unsightly thing at the moment, she thought, and her eyes fell on the fat man who only cared about eating.
I just hope she will finish eating quickly and then find a reason to drive the person out.
Prince Yu held the cup and his eyes were wandering. What do Dongsi and Xilun have to say?
I always feel that Nanyuan was invited by them to make up the numbers.
Princess Dongsi is very thoughtful and her husband seems to be a bad person. This is definitely a Hongmen Banquet.
After drinking the wine, he turned his eyes to Ye Qianning, who had been eating: "Miss Xiang, you have a good appetite, I will give you my share."
“No need.” Ye Qianning hesitated: “Luo Wen.”
Rowan understood, put down his bowls and chopsticks, stood up and walked out of the private room. He said something to the maid who was guarding outside the private room, and the maid hurried towards the kitchen.
“You can still eat it?” He Lianchen was surprised.
"This is so much. I can usually eat three bowls of rice in one meal, and less than half of more than 20 dishes." Ye Qianning has a physical problem, and his appetite is indeed large, which is larger than that of an adult man.
Prince Yu put his elbows on the table and tilted his head to look at her: "You are so young and you eat so much. Aren't you afraid of accumulating food?"
“Grandpa Zhan made Xiaoshi tablets,” Ye Qianning said.
Prince Yu: “…”
The conditions are really good!
“I heard that Beili Immortal Zui’s food is delicious. Prince Yu, please give it a try, Your Highness.” Chu Yue greeted.
Xi Liuyuan gave a faint glance.
The shadow guard behind him took out a silver needle and inserted it into the food to test, and then nodded towards his master.
Xi Liuyuan just picked up the chopsticks and took a layer of fish meat into his mouth.
Prince Yu didn’t have much appetite, so he just drank the immortal wine one sip after another.
Not long after, there was a knock on the door of the private room, and seven or eight boys barged in, each carrying two dishes and placing them on the table in front of Ye Qianning.
Chu Yue frowned when she saw this.
Luo Wen picked some together and put them in a bowl, then brought them to the little baby's mouth.
Ye Qianning was sitting on the chair, her posture was leisurely, and she didn't regard herself as an outsider at all.
“Miss Xiang, after eating so much greasy food at such a young age, you still need to check your body more often, so as not to get any symptoms without knowing it, which may eventually lead to a big disaster.” Chu Yue couldn’t help but said.
“I checked it and there is nothing wrong with it.”
"Some problems are easy to be ignored. There is a doctor with excellent medical skills beside me. Miss Xiang, if you don't mind, I will ask someone to take you over and have a good check-up."
“Grandpa Zhan’s medical skills are very good, so there’s no need for the princess to trouble herself.” Ye Qianning knew that she wanted to send her away.
She has a deep mind and has not disclosed anything since entering Kyoto City. The lockdown must have disrupted their plans.
The things hidden in this banquet are not simple.
"No trouble, Miss Xiang ate too much..."
"It turns out that the princess thinks I eat too much." Ye Qianning interrupted her and glanced at everyone: "Today, the princess booked the entire restaurant. I ate too much, so I didn't eat in vain. Luo Wen, give it to everyone here Each of you will receive a check.”
"yes."
Luo Wen put down his bowl and chopsticks, took out a stack of banknotes from his arms and walked to Chu Yue. A banknote fell on the table.
Chu Yue’s face turned green. Who could be insulted by a banknote?
Luo Wen then walked up to Xi Liuyuan, placed a banknote on the table, and then handed it to the two shadow guards behind him.
The hidden guard did not reach out to take it.
Rowan stuffed it directly into their chests: "My lady said, everyone present will get one. You're welcome."
Shadow Guard: “…”
It’s so outrageous, it’s the first time I’ve encountered something like this.
There was no sign of happiness or anger on Xi Liuyuan's face, but if you look carefully, you can notice that the corners of his jade-like mouth moved slightly.
