As soon as Qin Mu was about to step forward to play the round, Qin Xuan had already preemptively said: "Our Qin Mansion has rules, and those who don't have a poster can't enter." ” Qin Mu frowned when he heard this, and said coldly: "Second brother, don't talk nonsense!"
” He just wanted to compensate King Qi, but King Qi had already raised his eyebrows and said: "Okay, since this is the case, then the king can only go back and tell his father, this king has no invitation, Qin Huan does not let this king enter the door to congratulate, let his father send someone to come to congratulate him on his birthday."
With that, he turned and left.
Qin Xuan was also a little surprised when he heard this, if he really went back to tell the emperor like this, it would be terrible, I don't know how the emperor would question his father, his father would definitely punish him again, he regretted it now, he was too impulsive.
Qin Mu still had a better view of the overall situation, and hurriedly said, "His Royal Highness King Qi, please stay." ” King Qi turned around and raised his eyebrows and asked, "What else is going on?"
” Qin Mu bowed humbly and said: "Your Highness forgives your sins, my second brother is not sensible, admits death, others cannot enter without an invitation, but His Royal Highness King Qi represents the emperor's grace, how can you be lazy, Your Highness, please come in!"
” Hearing this, King Qi nodded with satisfaction, glanced at Qin Xuan proudly, and entered the door with a few guards.
"Wait a minute!"
Qin Xuan suddenly shouted, King Qi stopped again, frowned and looked at Qin Xuan, thinking to himself, is this thing still looking for trouble?
I saw Qin Xuan looking at Zhen Jian, and said coldly: "King Qi can go in, who are you, do you have an invitation?"
” Zhen Jiandao: "I am King Qi's personal guard. ” "Nonsense!"
Qin Xuan glared and shouted, "I saw you at Prince Yun's birthday banquet, you are the shopkeeper of the Tongfu Restaurant, where is the guard?"
” King Qi turned around and returned to Zhen Jian's side at this time, glanced at Qin Xuan, and sneered: "This king just asked him to be his personal guard yesterday, what's wrong?"
Do I want to ask you for advice too?
” "This ......"
Qin Xuan froze when he heard this, his eyebrows frowned slightly, and he dared not speak angrily.
Seeing this, Qin Mu hurriedly played a round: "Your Highness's guards, you have a great responsibility, so naturally you have to follow Your Highness in, everyone, please!"
” "Humph!"
King Qi gave Qin Xuan a roll of the eyes, turned his head and walked away arrogantly, Zhen Jian followed behind him very low-key, followed by Zhang An and Zhang Mou, the two guards, now these two have been sent by the emperor to protect King Qi, and the other guards can only stay outside and wait.
After Zhen Jian and King Qi entered, there were special servants to guide them, and when they walked away, Qin Mu glared at Qin Xuan fiercely, now he is not free, when he is free, he will definitely reprimand Qin Xuan, Qin Xuan's defeat to King Qi at Prince Yun's birthday banquet, the people of their family know, after all, they lost 110,000 yuan, not a small amount, they can't hide it, I didn't expect Qin Xuan to dare to hold a grudge, but the prince is the prince, you still dare to hold a grudge, dare to provoke, don't teach a lesson, don't learn to be obedient.
The prime minister's house is very large, walked around for a long time, entered a courtyard, three words on the arch - peony garden, only to see the elegant scenery in the courtyard, like a mountain field, but not like the mountains and fields are messy, there are mountains, there are water, there are flowers, there are grass, there are bamboo forests, there are pavilions.
The attic is near the lake, a piece of sparkling, a few touches of sunset flowing, the wind is leisurely, the fine willows are like smoke, a pair of swallows are flying in the water, whirling and murmuring, the scenery is picturesque, Zhen Jian looked a little stupid for a while, it is really a mansion of a good quality, and the garden design of the house is simply ingenious.
There is a water pavilion in the middle of the lake, at this moment many guests are playing on the water pavilion and the pavilion, some people enjoy the scenery, some people feed the fish, everyone talks very happily, so comfortable, Zeng Liang is also among them, beside him, there are two people standing, one is a middle-aged man who is about the same age as him, with a white face and beard, wearing a cyan satin shirt, this is the list of this palace test - Wei Kun; The other person is a young man in his early twenties, dressed in a white robe, dressed very simply, it can be said that he has no long things, but even so, it is difficult to hide his outstanding and unruly temperament, this person is Xu Jie, the flower of this palace test.
Although the three of them are not very familiar with each other, they are not strangers, after all, they were admitted at the same time, and they have ridden horses together on the streets, and they are classmates, so when they arrived in such a strange place, they naturally became companions, so as not to be too lonely.
It stands to reason that these three people should be very eye-catching wherever they go, but they stood there, and few people came forward to chat with them, after all, they were not familiar with the officials present, so they smiled and said hello to them, and that's it.
The arrogance of scholars in the newly promoted people is still there, and it is not easy to contact people, especially these people who have been in the officialdom for a long time, and they need a process of adaptation.
The officials also wanted to go up and talk to them, but they didn't want to be too anxious, so they would surrender their identities, anyway, these three people couldn't escape, and there was a chance.
Zeng Jian saw Zhen Jian, and hurriedly ran to them, Zhen Jian saw this and said to King Qi: "Your Highness, don't move here first." ” After he finished speaking, he greeted Zeng Ling, and after meeting, he bowed, Zeng Liang also wanted to return the salute, Zhen Jian said: "Don't return the courtesy, I'm just a subordinate now." ” Zeng Liang restrained the movements in his hand, nodded, and said happily: "I didn't expect you to come in with King Qi?"
” "Yes, I was just about to leave, and King Qi came, so I pretended to be his escort and blended in."
Since many people around him looked at the two of them, Zhen Jian didn't have too many expressions when he spoke, and when he saw Zeng Liang empty-handed, he asked, "Where's the cake?"
” "After entering the door, it was taken away by the people of the Qin Mansion."
Zhen Jian nodded, guessing that this was just a scattered day, and it was estimated that everything would be simple, and he found that the officials on the other side of the Water Pavilion looked at this side from time to time, so he said: "Okay, don't say more, if someone asks about the relationship between you and me, you just say that we have a little friendship." ” "Got it."
Zhen Jian returned to King Qi's side, and Zeng Liang returned to the water pavilion, standing with Wei Kun and Xu Jie again.
When Xu Jie saw Zeng Liang coming back, he couldn't help asking, "Brother Zeng, do you know the shopkeeper of the Spring Breeze Proud Building?"
” "That's right."
Zeng Liang nodded and said, "You know him too?"
” "I know him, but he doesn't know me."
Xu Jie said with a smile, "On the day of the opening of the Spring Breeze Triumph Building, a fellow villager friend took me there for dinner, so I met him, this Zhen shopkeeper, very interesting, is a wonderful person." ” "yes."
Zeng Liang smiled meaningfully when he heard this, "He is indeed a wonderful person. ” Wei Kun on the side turned his head and glanced at Zhen Jian's back from a distance when he heard this, and said disdainfully: "No matter how wonderful it is, it's just a businessman......"
Hearing this, Zeng Liang and Xu Jie frowned at the same time, but neither of them said anything, everyone has their own ideas, you can't forcibly change other people's minds.
Zhen Jian returned to King Qi and asked, "Your Highness, where are we going next, are we staying here?"
” King Qi scratched his head and said, "I don't know, it's the first time I've come here, or let's find out where Qin Huan is, and secretly go and beat him up." ” Zhen Jian stared at him with wide eyes when he heard this, and asked, "Why did you beat him?"
” "Isn't he a bad guy, a traitor, a corrupt official."
King Qi is a very simple person, he likes to distinguish people from good and bad.
Zhen Jian was speechless for a while when he heard this, looked around, and confirmed that there was no one around, and then said: "Your Highness, we are on other people's territory, we have to be careful when we speak and act, we can't say this kind of thing again." ” "Oh."

King Qi nodded, looking unhappy.
They wandered around in the bamboo forest of the peony garden for a while, found a gazebo to sit stupidly and stunned, after an hour of incense, it was getting late, the dinner began, the housekeeper of the Qin Mansion took the officials into the Peony Pavilion, and tonight's birthday banquet was held here.
King Qi took Zhen Jian to the outside of the Peony Pavilion, only to see that many entourages and guards outside were waiting here, King Qi said to Zhen Jian: "The Qin Mansion has prepared meals for all the entourages and servants, will you go to eat with these people later?"
” Zhen Jian smiled and said, "No need, I'll stay here." ” "Okay."
King Qi said, "Then after the dinner officially starts, I will take the time to bring you something to eat, and I will also have your share."
The latter sentence is said to Zhang An and Zhang Mu.
"Your Highness."
The three of them bowed their heads together and thanked each other.
"Alright, I'll go in first."
King Qi waved his hand and walked into the hall.
The hall of the Peony Pavilion is very large, it is simply a small palace, with a passage more than two feet wide in the middle, the bluestone floor is polished to almost reflective, and four rows of tables are neatly placed on both sides, each table is full of delicacies and wines, as well as wooden plaques, on which the names of each party attending the banquet are engraved.
And at the end of the aisle, there are three tables, this is the main case, only the master's family can sit, the middle table is larger, and the two tables next to it are smaller, you don't have to think about it to know that this is the seat of Qin Huan and his two sons.
Although King Qi was not among the invited guests, the Qin Mansion naturally had preparations in this regard, there was a spare table, and King Qi was still the most advanced table, next to him was Zeng Ling, and opposite them were Wei Kun and Tanhua Xu Jie, although there were countless officials present, but Qin Huan instructed that these three people should be treated as guests today, and it can be seen that he really wants to recruit these three people.
Qin Huan came to the hall with his two sons, everyone saluted and congratulated, Qin Huan returned the salute with his son, and then let everyone sit down, everyone sat down in the host and guest, and after a greeting, the banquet began.
King Qi often eats food at Zhen Jian's place, and his mouth has become awkward, and after tasting a few dishes, he doesn't feel good, so he stopped his chopsticks and stared at the dishes on the table to see what dishes could be taken out for Zhen Jian to eat.
It seems that only the roast leg of mutton can be taken out, which is easy to carry, and among so many dishes, the roast leg of mutton tastes good, so he grabbed the leg of mutton and weighed it, it was too small, only seven or eight taels, so he got up and ran to Zeng Liang's table next to him, and took Zeng Liang's leg of mutton away, Zeng Liang didn't care, anyway, he knew King Qi, and guessed King Qi's purpose, so he just smiled indifferently, but the others had already looked up at King Qi in surprise, and ran to someone else's table to get the food, which was very rude.
King Qi completely ignored everyone's strange eyes, ran to Xu Jie's table opposite, and reached out to take Xu Jie's leg of mutton, Xu Jie saw this and pressed the leg of mutton, the meaning was very simple, not to him, suddenly an unidentified teenager came out to take his leg of mutton, of course he didn't agree.
Seeing this, King Qi raised the two legs of mutton in his right hand, and was about to hit him, Xu Jie was startled, and hurriedly let go of his hand and retracted back, King Qi successfully grabbed Xu Jie's leg of mutton, smiled proudly, and turned around and walked to Wei Kun's table.
When Wei Kun saw him coming, he glared and shouted, "Stop!"
Xiangye's birthday banquet, how can you be presumptuous here!
” King Qi directly ignored his words, and snatched the leg of mutton from his copper basin.
Wei Kun was so angry that he glared and shouted: "How can this be true!"
Outrageous!
There are such barbaric and rude people!
” "Cough-" Qin Huan suddenly coughed hard, stopped Wei Kun's loud drinking, and asked King Qi, "His Royal Highness King Qi, what are you doing with so many leg of mutton?"
” As soon as he heard the words of His Royal Highness King Qi, Wei Kun suddenly turned pale with fright, he didn't expect that this seemingly arrogant and rude child was actually King Qi, he was still yelling at him just now, and scolding him for being rude, his little heart was already trembling.
Xu Jie was glad for a while, but fortunately he didn't bother with him.
King Qi turned his head to look at Qin Huan, raised his eyebrows and said, "Eat, the leg of lamb is delicious." ” Qin Huan smiled helplessly and said, "If Your Highness likes this leg of mutton, the minister will ask the kitchen to give you a few more portions, you don't have to rob other guests of the leg of mutton." ” "Oh."
King Qi grinned and said, "But I robbed everything, you can ask the kitchen to get them a few more lamb legs." ” With that, he walked out of the hall.
Seeing this, Qin Huan shouted and asked, "Where is Your Highness going?"
” "I'm sick to my stomach, go to the thatched house."
When everyone heard this, their expressions suddenly became very exciting, and they went to the thatched house with four legs of mutton, which they planned to eat in the thatched house?
This King Qi ......
The condition seems to have worsened again......
King Qi has always acted in such a way, otherwise it would be impossible for the ministers in the court to treat him as mentally retarded, in fact, he did it on purpose, just like a child, the more you say that he is naughty, the more naughty he will show you.
Only when facing Zhen Jian, King Qi behaved more normally, because Zhen Jian never looked at him with strange eyes, and every word King Qi said, Zhen Jian would listen carefully, this is a kind of respect for people, no matter who it is, even if it is a child, he needs to be respected.
