Chapter 33 Hongmen Choir
The Fourth Princess’s treat was clearly the Hongmen Banquet. With the appearance yesterday, several people, including Liu Yu, were not at ease. Chai Jin did not understand the obvious things. The fourth princess, who is sophisticated and sophisticated, has a bright heart. Now that the banquet is at the end of the autumn?
"Brother Liu, I'm going to the Ministry of Personnel to see if the official's documents have been issued, so I'll say goodbye first."
Sui Yi was the fastest at this stage, and Li Mi was not willing to fall behind and said, "Brother Liu, I... am going to the Ministry of War."
Then the two of them ran away as if they were idling, Liu Yu, facing the wood lumps of wood. They looked at me, and I looked at you. Liu Yu really wanted to throw away the storytelling book in his hand and escaped.
"Brother Liu has nothing to do, right?" Chai Jin asked with a smile.
Strictly speaking, Liu Yu saw Chai Jin "smiling" for the first time here. This introverted man even laughed when he was familiar with others, just like an iron tree would bloom.
"Incredible." Liu Yu sighed, saying in a tone that seemed to be in trouble, "It's okay, let's go."
Liu Yu had to go there. The Fourth Princess had a banquet, so she wanted to take revenge. If she didn't vent any of her resentment, she would easily "relieve it" and she would be more useless to get revenge.
Eight sedan chairs were parked at the entrance of the chess building. The sedan chair servants came over to see Chai Jin coming out. Liu Yu asked in surprise: "Chai Hulu, these... aren't they all from your house?"
"That's right." Chai Jin said, "Neizi said, Brother Liu, you have a wide range of friends. I asked me to bring a few more sedan chairs out to be prepared for any trouble."
Liu Yu smiled bitterly, he was really prepared. Now the eight-top sedan chair picks up a idler. Did you say that when you go, you will take a seat and carry it back when you come back?
Along the way, Liu Yu was too lazy to think about the way forward, so he continued to read his storytelling book, and he arrived at the door of the Prince Consort's Mansion with a bumpy ride.
The fourth princess was not old, but she was mature and had a reputation among the court as soon as she was done. The princess's mansion was particularly grand. Liu Yu looked at the tall lintel and then looked at Chai Jin's eagerness to entertain the guests. Helplessly, this door was always going to enter.
The courtyard in the Prince Consort's Mansion is simple in layout. When you enter the door and pass the porch, opposite the front hall is the front hall. The front hall door is open with bead curtains hanging. From a distance, you can see the fourth princess Su Bi in pink and yellow sitting on the side of the round table in the hall, and a maid behind her is shaking a small fan.
"The prince consort brought the guest?" Su Bi, who had changed into gorgeous women's clothing, also had a heroic appearance that was as good as a man. Her face was so beautiful that it was hard to guess what she was thinking. She nodded slightly to say hello, and she also came out of the curtain, her face turned slightly, "Why is Mr. Liu alone?"
Liu Yu hurriedly saluted and explained: "The two friends are here to go to the Ministry of Personnel and the Ministry of War to wait for the documents to send officials."
"So that's it, it's the same when Mr. Liu comes. Please come in." The fourth princess personally welcomed the guests. Liu Yu felt a little flattered. Su Bi entered the door and ordered the maid, "Go to the kitchen to serve wine and food."
Liu Yuxin said that the Hongmen Banquet was indeed just looking at people and not the time. The sun was about to start in the morning before it rose. There were no other guests in the Prince Consort's Mansion. Could it be that this royal couple wanted to be condescending to the nobles and only entertained him a idle person without officials or qualities?
There were a wide range of wine and dishes, but in a moment, the table was filled with plates of size and size, and even the soup was served so quickly, it seemed that it was prepared. Liu Yu had never tried a table of dishes and faced with more than twenty dishes, so he became more reserved.
Su Bi still looked enthusiastic and smiled: "The future wife of this palace and Mr. Liu, who is Miss Xuan Zhu, is a friend in the boudoir. You have to be polite to have dinner with your family."
Liu Yu didn't expect that Su Bi and Xu Xuanzhu still had a friendship, but Liu Yu and Xu Xuanzhu Shang were strangers, so this relationship was a bit too early.
With Su Bi's enthusiasm and Chai Jin's enthusiasm, Liu Yu seemed a little unbearable. After drinking a few glasses of wine, he didn't even lift the chopsticks.
Su Bi seemed to have expected Liu Yu to react like this, and smiled and said, "Yesterday, the prince consort came back and told me that Mr. Liu is a good person who is good at shooting and covering the film. Therefore, I specially invited a master to set a question. I wonder if Mr. Liu might hit the film?"
Su Bi waved her hand and immediately a maid brought a teacup, which was the same model as the teacup used to shoot yesterday. Suddenly, she took out a teacup for no reason, making people guess what it was inside, which was obviously a fool.
"I am stupid and really don't know." Liu Yu was honest and did not dare to make rash decisions in front of Su Bi.
"I thought Mr. Liu was good at divination, but in fact it was not a special thing, but a red rope." Su Bi opened the teacup and took out the thin red thread from it. "I originally wanted to wear it on my hand for Sister Xuan Zhu to make a happy ending. Now I will give you my future husband, Mr. Liu, to Sister Xuan Zhu."
When I entered the door, I was going to be a matchmaker or a Yue Lao? Liu Yu took it with me a little embarrassedly, but his heart was pounding. It would be better to take revenge directly. It was so torture that it was suffocating.
"Mr. Concubine, I remember that there are a few jars of good wine in the wine cellar. Why don't you pick it up and taste it for Mr. Liu in person."
Liu Yuxin said that he was here, and this Kaichai Jin was about to enter the main topic of revenge.
Chai Jin looked unhappy. This was the first time he brought his friend home to have dinner. He felt the pleasure of greeting guests for the first time. He was a little unhappy when he was interrupted. The princess insisted that with his personality that he would not say no, he still had to go.
When the prince-in-law walked out of the hall, the smile on the fourth princess's face faded, and then became thicker, but it became a little cold.
"Young Master Liu, I heard that you are very close to my ninth brother." Su Bi suddenly said.
"This..." Liu Yu estimated in his heart that the Fourth Princess should have investigated him secretly, and could not hide it, "I have a little friendship."
"But my ninth brother seems to be very dependent on you and often goes to the chess building. Even the chess building's friends say that you have a close relationship." The fourth princess continued to ask, "The two people around Mr. Liu seem to have returned from the front line of Huaixi County with my ninth brother. Why didn't Mr. Liu make achievements with them?"
"The old man is very strict in tutoring and is not allowed to go out."
"Is that?" The fourth princess said coldly, "But I heard that Mr. Liu had disappeared in Chang'an City a few days ago for a long time. At this moment, my ninth brother was ordered to adjust Wanzhou. Somehow, he had been delayed in Huaixi County. He also helped his daughter's army to defeat the Turkic cavalry. If it weren't for Mr. Liu, you would have been so bold, with my ninth brother's mediocre and playful personality, right?"
Liu Yu immediately realized that the fourth princess investigated him and Su Yan secretly. Although Su Yan was as the court said this time, "assisting his daughter's army to defeat the enemy", it was also quite outstanding. The only explanation was that Su Yan contacted his daughter's army in advance through the relationship between Liu Yu and Xu Xuanzhu and got the opportunity to take this opportunity.
Seeing that Liu Yu did not admit it or deny it, Su Bi knew it roughly and sighed, "My ninth brother is too spoiled by his father, which makes him act recklessly, and he can't blame him. Although my ninth brother and I were not born to the same mother, they have a deep affection for brothers and sisters, and I want to go around more in the future."
Liu Yu immediately realized that this was a signal that Su Bi showed goodwill to Su Yan through him and wanted to form an alliance.
Now Su Yan has just emerged, and he can be said to be a new noble in the court. The forces in the past have basically been established and they each become friends and enemies. Although the fourth princess is strong, she is her daughter's family after all, and other princes are not willing to form an alliance with her.
Su Yan is different. In everyone's opinion, Su Yan's naughty character has no appearance as an emperor. However, when the Tian family was about to change throne, he made great contributions. He was the youngest son of Queen Mu. The emperor was very considerate and even entrusted several inconspicuous small characters around Su Yan with important tasks. The emperor was also balancing the power of all parties.
Liu Yu bowed his hand and refused to comment. At this time, Chai Jin hurriedly returned to the front hall with a wine jar in one hand.
Su Bi's face continued to change into a kind smile and warmly treated her. It seemed that she had never expressed her previous expression. Liu Yu's meal was quite depressed. She finally managed to keep Chai Jin's silence and said "full", and she was glad that it was finally over.
Others’ Hongmen Banquet was served by swords and axes, and his visit to Hongmen Banquet was like a performer. He sang with a different face.
"Your Majesty, you will personally send Mr. Liu out. You will accompany me to the palace to talk to my mother. The mother Majesty sent someone yesterday to say that we hadn't seen each other for many days." The fourth princess was like a virtuous little wife, and turned to Liu Yu and said, "Young Master Liu, the Mr. Liu is a little straightforward, but he is honest. You should give him more advice in the future. I should thank you."
Liu Yu nodded, it should be. It would be better to carry a lump of wood when I mention this introverted man.
Chai Jin sent Liu Yu out with reluctance. It was obvious that he wanted to continue to "see" with Liu Yu and the others, but remembering the Fourth Princess' words, she had to say goodbye and go back first.
Liu Yu returned to the chess building, not only Li Mi and Sui Yi, but also Hu Xuan and Su Yan were waiting for him. When he saw him coming back, Sui Yi looked at him in circles and smiled and said, "Brother Liu can still come back intact? Fortunately, luck!"
