Rong Yan changed into the Wei court clothes, got off the carriage in front of the palace gate, and was led to the Wude Palace.In his previous life, Rong Yan did not have this treatment, and Emperor Shouguang was not interested in him, a little proton who had lost power, whether it was a tribute ceremony or a dinner that day, he was not qualified to attend.He stayed in Xu Kingdom for so long, only entered the palace once, and never came out alive.The palace of Xu Guo is as magnificent as in memory.Rong Yan paused in front of the gate of the Wude Palace, looking up at the high stairs and the majestic palace in front of him, as well as Liang Ji who was waiting for him in front of the main hall.Except for a chance glance at the ceremony during the day, Rong Yan hadn't seen this person for several days, and at this moment the sky was dark, but he could still recognize the somewhat vague but still tall and straight figure at a glance.His Royal Highness King Xuan!
A clear male voice came from behind him, Rong Yan turned his head, and a slight smile appeared on his lips: His Royal Highness King Ji is polite, just call me by my name.Honor!
Gao Chun is not polite, the banquet will start immediately, why are you standing here?
This is not the first time I have seen your palace in the Kingdom of Xu, so I want to take a few more looks.Rong Yan turned his head and found that there was still someone beside Gao Chun, his eyes fell on the person's face, and the smile on his lips disappeared without a trace immediately, who is this?
This is Sun Yi, the chief bookkeeper of my palace.Sun Yi looked thin and pale, with a very obvious literati appearance, but his eyes were extraordinarily focused, his gaze was locked on Rong Yan's face, and he said hello for a long time: His Royal Highness King Xuan.Rong Yan stared at his haggard face for a moment, and his gaze stopped down on his right wrist, where there was only an old wound, which must have been severed with a sharp weapon a long time ago.Rong Yan suddenly felt that his right wrist, which had long since been swollen and healed, hurt again, and unconsciously rubbed it with his left hand.His Royal Highness King Xuan, what does this mean?
Sun Yi hid his right arm behind him, staring closely at Rong Yan's movements, and his voice was a little colder.Rong Yan glanced down and stopped: some time ago, his right hand was accidentally injured, and he may have suffered from cold recently, and it suddenly hurt.He also put his hand behind his back, he had long heard that there was a capable person in His Royal Highness King Ji's mansion, and he finally saw it today, which was rude.Gao Chun's gaze swept back and forth between the two of them, and then laughed: It's not too early, it's too late to sit down first and then have a deep chat.Sun Yi glanced at Rong Yan, no longer paid attention to Gao Chun, and stepped on the steps without looking back.Gao Chun walked a few steps slowly beside Rong Yan, and said in a low voice: Mr.
Sun suffered a lot in his early years, fell ill, and his right hand was cut off, so his temperament changed greatly and his temper was strange.I probably thought you were laughing at him, so I lost my respects, and I hope to look in front of me, don't be surprised.I heard that in the first battle of Xu Wei, there was a capable person in the tent of His Royal Highness King Ji who repeatedly offered strange schemes, and the Wei army was overwhelmed.Rong Yan looked up at Sun Yi's back a few steps away, I still thought about such a capable person, and when I arrived in Xu Guo, I must make friends with one or two, but I didn't expect to offend people just when we met today.Gao Chun laughed: This is easy to say, although Master Sun has a strange temperament, he is good at wine, and you will have a few drinks with him at the banquet, and these unpleasantness will be forgotten.Rong Yan curled his lips: Okay, there will be a few kind words for His Royal Highness Lao later.As the two spoke, they stepped up the last stone step and greeted Liang Ji, who was still standing here.Liang Ji's gaze stopped on the faces of these two people for a moment, and bowed to salute: His Royal Highness King Ji, he paused for a moment and looked at Rong Yan, His Royal Highness King Xuan.Rong Yan froze for a moment, and then laughed: General Liang is really polite, compared to His Royal Highness King Ji, what kind of Highness am I!
Liang Ji was silent and didn't respond, but Gao Chun shook his head with a smile, and when he turned to Liang Ji, his tone was a little softer: The weather is so cold, why is Rong Zhi waiting here?
Liang Ji glanced at Rong Yan and said: I was about to go in, but I saw His Royal Highness King Xuan in a daze below, so I took a few more looks.Rong Yan looked at him in surprise, Liang Ji had already retracted his gaze, and said calmly: Just with the two highnesses.Gao Chun responded with a smile, patted his arm, and the three of them entered the hall side by side.The Wude Hall is very lively, and the military generals of the four grades or more are all present, and they are dressed in Wei court clothes, and they enter the hall as soon as they step into the hall, which attracts everyone's attention.Liang Ji couldn't help but look sideways.Rong Yan did not have the slightest panic on his face, which was very different from the innocent and simple little proton who was a little cowardly in his previous life.He stopped in the center of the main hall, calmly looked back at every line of sight, for a long time, pointed to a vacant seat in front of him, and said calmly: Where is my position?
Gao Chun followed and took a look, and beckoned a chamberlain to come over: wait for King Xuan to enter the table.Rong Yan thanked Gao Chun and left.Gao Chun watched him sit down before retracting his gaze, and turned his head to find that Liang Ji was still staring in the direction of Rong Yan, his eyes were deep, and he couldn't help but speak: Rong Zhi?
Liang Ji returned to his senses: Is there something wrong with Your Highness?
Gao Chun looked at him for a while, smiled and shook his head: What are you thinking?
Liang Ji finally glanced in the direction of Rong Yan: It's nothing, but he feels more and more that the proton of the Wei State is extraordinary, no wonder His Royal Highness is friendly with it.Gao Chun didn't expect him to say this, so he lowered his head and muttered: Father will be here soon, take a seat.Liang Ji nodded: Okay.Chapter 9 The light singing and dancing in the Wude Hall are mixed with cups.Rong Yan's fingers unconsciously rubbed the lines on the wine cup, as if he was looking at the dancer in front of him, but his eyes were a little sloppy.Emperor Shouguang stayed in the Wude Hall for a while, and then under the pretext of being unwell, he handed over the banquet to the crown prince Gao Song, and he returned to Changle Palace first, and the civil and military officials who were originally detained gradually indulged.As the only Wei person present, the protagonist of this banquet, Rong Yan inevitably became the focus.He had an average amount of alcohol, and he was already slightly drunk after a few glasses of wine entered his throat, but he was still fair-skinned and spoke clearly, and no one noticed.Except for Liang Ji.Since entering this martial arts hall, Liang Ji's eyes have hardly taken off Rong Yan's body, others have drunk three rounds, but he has always sat there, not a drop of wine, not moving.Every time Rong Yan turned his gaze, he would meet the other party's almost scrutinizing gaze, and the smile that was originally hanging on his lips gradually faded a little.Liang Ji is guarding against him?
Rong Yan suddenly got up and raised the wine cup towards the prince who was sitting crookedly at the bottom of the throne: When I was in Wei, I always admired His Royal Highness the Prince, and now I am here Xu and I hope that His Royal Highness will take care of it more in the future!
As soon as the words fell, he raised his hand, drank all the wine in the cup, lowered his arm and turned his gaze casually, and sure enough, he saw that the man's brows were furrowed.Rong Yan let out a chuckle from the bottom of his heart.Gao Song was originally drinking wine casually while enjoying the dance, but when he saw Rong Yan get up, he also raised the wine cup in his hand: How dare this palace disobey what his father has explained?
What's more, he showed a playful smile, I think you're quite interesting.As he spoke, he turned his gaze to Gao Chun opposite: Yes, second brother?
Gao Chun was talking to Sun Yi behind him with his head sideways, and subconsciously turned his head: What did the imperial brother say?
Gao Chung drank all the wine in the cup, shook the empty cup, and said casually: It's nothing, but I just saw you talking and laughing in, thinking that your relationship should be good, so I asked casually.Gao Chun smiled undiminishedly: Some time ago, my father sent me to receive the Wei delegation, and I had some intersections with Rong Yan.He said and glanced at Rong Yan, he had a straightforward personality and was indeed a very interesting person.Rong Yan curled his lips and added another glass of wine to himself: Recently, His Royal Highness King Lao Ji has taken care of me, and I should also toast a glass of wine.Gao Chun smiled gently: You don't have to be so polite.As soon as he raised his arm, he drank the glass of wine.Gao Chung looked at the two of them and snorted softly, but he didn't say anything more, poured himself a glass of wine, and drank it slowly.The singing and dancing are graceful, and the wine is in full swing.The closed door of the main hall was suddenly pushed open a crack, and a half-large figure probed in, looking at everything in the hall with some curiosity.Who's there?!
A low shout suddenly arose, alarming the figure and the people in the hall, and for a while the singing and dancing stopped, and everyone listened attentively to the noise and noise outside the hall.Gao Chung glanced up lazily and motioned to the attendant behind him: Go and see what's going on?
The chamberlain hurried away, and soon came back: His Royal Highness the Prince, it was the Third Highness who secretly ran to the front of the palace at some point, and the guards wanted to take him back after discovering it, but the Third Highness was unwilling, and the guards did not dare to embarrass him, so it made a fuss.However, someone has already been sent to Zhaoning Palace to invite the nurse of the Third Highness.It's cold and dewy outside, and you can't let him wait outside all the time.Gao Chun turned his head to look at Gao Chung, the imperial brother, the third brother still listens to me, why don't I send him back to Zhaoning Palace.It's still the second brother who thinks thoughtfully.Gao Chung laughed lightly, his eyes turned around the hall, and the various expressions of the courtiers were all in his eyes, watching Gao Chun go out, and when he heard that the outside of the hall had indeed stopped, he clapped his hands: Okay, go on.said that it would continue, but everyone's interest had been interrupted, and even Gao Chung himself was a little excited, and after drinking a few more glasses of wine, he finally spoke and ended the banquet.Gao Chung yawned and left first, the civil and military officials dispersed one after another, and the hall gradually quieted down, Rong Yan got up and walked slowly outside the hall with a table on his face, but his steps staggered.The attendant who followed him glanced at it, but he didn't mean to help.Outside the palace, it snowed at some point, gradually dyeing the majestic imperial city white.Rong Yan raised his head, let the flying snowflakes fall on his face, and reached out to wipe it, only to feel a cold wetness.It rarely snows in the Wei Kingdom, and if you bump into it a few times occasionally, you won't have such a vast momentum.Therefore, for Rong Yan, who came to Xu at the beginning of the year, although the winter here is difficult, there is still a little bit of novelty and beauty.A paper umbrella suddenly stretched out, blocking Rong Yan's sight and covering the snow, Rong Yan turned his head and found that Liang Ji appeared behind him at some point, holding a paper umbrella in his hand, his eyes fell on him, deep and distant.Rong Yan looked at Liang Ji quietly, for a long time, and opened the paper umbrella covering his head: I'm sorry, I don't know if I blocked General Liang's way.Liang Ji quietly stretched out the paper umbrella again, and glanced at the attendant who followed behind Rong Yan: If we stop by the way, we won't bother the internal officials.The words are euphemistic and polite, but the tone is very cold.It may be that Liang Ji has the killing intent of a military general, which made the inner servant shrink inexplicably, glanced at Rong Yan, and hurried away without waiting for his opinion.Rong Yan stared at the figure of the inner servant who fled for a while, then turned around and walked forward.Liang Ji immediately followed his footsteps, and by the way, he also covered the paper umbrella firmly above Rong Yan's head to prevent the flying snow from falling on his head.Maybe it was because of the drunkenness, and all kinds of emotions were piled up in his chest, Rong Yan paused suddenly, and turned his head to stare at Liang Ji: The road is so wide, General Liang has to follow me?
Liang Ji looked at Rong Yan's eyes and was silent for a while: When His Royal Highness left, he asked me to send you out of the palace.When His Royal Highness Gao Chun left, he seemed to have said something to Liang Ji.No wonder.Since the general is entrusted by someone, just follow me if you want, and don't get in my way.A sneer floated to his lips, and Rong Yan suddenly waved away the paper umbrella in Liang Ji's hand, turned around and walked forward quickly.He had drunk too much wine, and he couldn't see the road clearly in the snow, when he suddenly collided with an oncoming figure, and the whole person fell to the ground.The other party was obviously startled, and took a step back before speaking: Where did the drunk come from?
Rong Yan raised his eyes slightly, only to find that the other party was a slender girl with a beautiful face.Liang Ji had already followed, glanced at the girl, and said, "See Princess Chengyang."
This is the King Xuan of Wei.When the words fell, he reached out to support the glory on the ground.Rong Yan laughed, ignoring the arm hanging in the air, he got up by force, and nodded towards Princess Chengyang: Offended.Princess Chengyang shook her head, looked at him with some curiosity for a while, looked not far away, and finally turned to Liang Ji: General Liang, have you seen my third brother from over there?
His Royal Highness King Ji has already sent His Royal Highness back to Zhaoyang Palace.Liang Ji replied, the princess doesn't have to worry.Princess Chengyang breathed a sigh of relief and shook her head again: I originally thought that I would quietly bring him back without alarming the queen mother, but it seems that I can't hide today.Rong Yan didn't want to participate in other people's housework, so he patted the snow on his body carelessly, and smiled at Princess Chengyang: It's not too early, I'll leave the palace first.Princess Chengyang answered, but when he left, she suddenly stopped someone: Wait a minute!
Rong Yan looked back in surprise: The princess still has orders?
Princess Chengyang casually took off the cloak on her body and stuffed it into Rong Yan's hand: You southerners are all delicate and frail, and you are still wearing such thin clothes in such a heavy snowstorm.Rong Yan looked at the cloak in his hand and was rarely stunned, and before he could respond, Liang Ji opened his mouth first: Princess, this may not be appropriate.Princess Chengyang didn't care: General Liang don't worry about me, although I am not good at martial arts, I have always been diligent in practice, and I am much stronger than this little boy, and I will go back to the dormitory when I turn around in front, but he still has to go out of the palace and return to the house.Rong Yan listened to her and smiled softly: I don't think the princess will be unable to withstand the cold.He returned the cloak to Princess Chengyang, and glanced back at the majestic palace behind him, the princess was open-minded, but it was inevitable that there would be people with hearts.I don't care about these things, but it's not cost-effective to affect the princess's reputation because of such a small thing.Princess Chengyang originally just looked at Rong Yan's thin clothes, and looked a little thin, a well-intentioned move, but at this moment she realized that this move was somewhat inappropriate, there are many people in this palace, and if it is spread out, it will be made a fuss, she is not afraid of anything else, just the queen's harsh criticism is enough to give people a headache.Princess Chengyang looked at Rong Yan's Wei court clothes that looked cumbersome, but couldn't block the wind and snow at all, and when she hesitated, a heavy cloak had already covered Rong Yan's body.Rong Yan was stunned, and couldn't help but look back at Liang Ji, Liang Ji gave a salute to Princess Chengyang: The princess should go back early.Princess Chengyang was obviously stunned by Liang Ji's actions, and came back to her senses and smiled at the two: Then I'll go first, if I go back late, maybe I will be taught a lesson by the queen mother again.Rong Yan looked at the back of the girl who hurriedly left with the wind and snow, couldn't help curling his lips, and then shook his head gently.The princess is frank by nature and has no other meaning.Liang Ji suddenly spoke, which surprised Rong Yan, and turned around to find that Liang Ji had propped up the paper umbrella on top of his head at some point, and was about to have a seizure, when he turned his head and saw the cloak that had just been forced on his shoulder, he ripped it off and stuffed it into Liang Ji's hand: The palace gate is in front, and I have already seen it.There is a carriage outside my palace, so I won't bother the general for the rest of the way.Chapter 10 There is only one carriage left outside the palace gate.Rong Yan slowed down at the gate of the palace for a while, and then climbed up slowly, casually lifted the curtain and let the cold wind blow on his face, wanting to blow away the drunkenness.The curfew was approaching, and because of the heavy snowfall, the entire long street was empty, and there was not even a single figure to be seen.Snow fell from the sky, staining the stone road white, and the carriage drove over it, leaving a long rut mark.
