No. 1 Girl in the Imperial City

Chapter 592 Palace Banquet (2)

It was much more convenient to have Xie Yan, and the two quietly took the young man to a small building far away from the banquet hall.

At this time, it was dark inside and outside the small building, and there was no one inside or outside.

Xie Yan threw him on the ground, turned around and looked at Luo Junyao who had just lit a candle not far behind him.

The houses of the Qi people are mostly made of stone, except for the palaces where a few nobles live, the windows are not only few but also small.

As long as the windows are closed, there is no need to worry about being found lighting the lights inside.

The young man who was thrown to the ground struggled to raise his head, and said angrily, "Who are you guys? What do you want to do?"

Luo Jun smiled and said: "Don't worry about this, it's useless for you to worry about it now."

"The empress dowager treats you well!" said the young man.

Luo Jun said: "She still gave me away, I am a special person... holding grudges."

"you!"

Seeing that his face was livid with anger, Luo Junyao walked up to him and knelt down and said, "Okay, I'm just joking with you. We don't do anything, just go to the theater tonight, can't we?"

The young man naturally wouldn't believe him, Luo Junyao looked at him with some puzzlement and asked, "I heard that you mixed races like to hang out with Ji Zhan, why are you still loyal to Bai Jingrong?"

When the young man heard the word "mixed race", his expression was distorted, and he gritted his teeth and said, "You don't care!"

"If you don't say it, then don't say it." Luo Junyao was not angry, shrugged and said: "Anyway, no matter who you choose, there will be no good results. Have you heard a saying? If it is not my race, its heart must be different. Qi The clansmen will not believe you. If Bai Jingrong wants to get rid of Ji Zhan and control the Qi clan by himself, he can only push Ji Rong to the throne or remarry a new Qi king. No matter which one, the Qi clan will still suppress the Central Plains people in the end. If Ji Zhan succeeds in seizing Bai Jingrong's power, the result will be the same. Now he has to use the Bai family army to win you over, and when he doesn't use the blood of the Qi people and the people of the Central Plains, he will only be regarded as a stain."

The young man looked at Luo Jun with some disdain and said, "Don't you have other ways?"

Luo Junyao thought about it seriously, then shook his head and said, "No."

The young man was about to sarcasm, Luo Jun shook his head and said, "Have you never thought about returning to the Central Plains?"

"When we go back to the Central Plains, are we from the Central Plains?" the young man said.

They are like this, no matter where they are, they will not be regarded as their own.

Luo Junyao thought for a while, "The Central Plains is vast and abundant, and it's not that there are no children born of marriage with foreign races. Moreover, the situation is completely different from yours now. You are in the Qi tribe and you want to compete with the Qi tribe for living resources. I am a Qi tribe and I don't want to Here you go."

The Qi people are in a difficult time now, and they can still tide over the difficulties together if they are all on their own.Once there is a group of outsiders, they will only feel that these people are here to grab resources from them.

The young man glared at Luo Jun and shook his head, then lowered his head in silence and stopped talking to her.

Luo Jun shrugged his shoulders, it's fine if he doesn't speak, she still doesn't want to.

The banquet gradually reached its climax, exotic music echoed in the hall, and the enchanting dancers in the center of the hall danced lightly.

The maids shuttled through the hall with delicious food and wine, replenishing wine and food for the guests at any time.

The guests drank a lot of wine, and the whole hall was filled with a strong aroma of wine.

The banquets held by the royal court of the Qi nationality are not like the Central Plains. The dignitaries always want to maintain a dignified posture on formal occasions.

Some guests drank too much, and they gradually became unrestrained.

Some people got up and held wine jugs and sang and danced to drink with others, and some people pulled the dancers and maids beside them to make fun of them, and the huge hall was full of people.

Bai Jingrong was sitting next to Ji Zhan. Since he looked extraordinarily quiet, Ji Zhan couldn't help but look sideways at him from time to time.

You know, no matter what kind of banquet it is, Bai Jingrong will always be the most eye-catching one at the banquet.

Being so low-key today, coupled with Ji Zhan's guilty conscience, he naturally felt that there was something wrong with Bai Jingrong.

"What is Ah Zhan looking at?" Bai Jingrong calmly met Ji Zhan's gaze and asked with a smile.

Ji Zhan shook his head and said, "It's nothing, it's just that mother is very silent tonight, but is there anything about the banquet that displeases mother?"

"How could it be?" Bai Jingrong said with a faint smile: "Naturally, it is a great thing for all the surrounding ministries to pay tribute. Mother can only be happy, but she is just a little worried because she has not come back after going out for a long time."

Ji Zhan curled his lower lip slightly when he heard the words, and did not comment on her reasons.

"My mother cares about Chuchu so much, I'm afraid she will be flattered."

Bai Jingrong didn't seem to hear his son's ridicule, and said indifferently: "She is cute, so I naturally have to care a little more. Isn't Ah Zhan jealous?"

After finishing speaking, he turned his head to Qu Fang not far behind and said: "A Fang, go and see that girl."

Qu Fang glanced towards the entrance of the hall, but didn't get up, "She's back."

Hearing this, Bai Jingrong also looked over, and sure enough, she saw Luo Junyao sneaking in from the side door of the main hall, walking along the side, wanting others not to notice her.

Bai Jingrong couldn't help laughing out loud, and said to the people around him, "Go and call her over."

The maid beside her responded and left, and Luo Junyao followed the maid after a while.

"I've seen the empress, I've seen the king." Luo Junyao bowed obediently.

Bai Jingrong asked, "Where did you go just now?"

Luo Jun shook his head and said, "I was a little dizzy after drinking, so I wanted to go out and blow some air to wake myself up. Didn't Sister Bai Ning tell the empress?"

Bai Jingrong raised his hand and tapped her eyebrows and said: "It's really a child, I can't sit still. There are many people tonight, so don't run around."

Luo Junyao nodded repeatedly: "Yes, I won't go out, and I won't drink anymore."

Bai Jingrong nodded in satisfaction and said, "That's good, go back and sit down."

"Yes, ma'am." Luo Jun responded with a shake, and obediently returned to the position next to Wu Ye.

Wu Ye was also surrounded by several generals of the Bai family army at this time, and they all drank a lot of wine.

But Luo Junyao could clearly feel that Wu Ye was still very sober at this time, and he didn't intend to get drunk at all.

Luo Junyao passed him and looked behind him, sitting not far from Wu Ye was Wu Jun.Compared with Wu Ye, Wu Jun's side seemed very deserted, but there was a Qi man talking to him.

Sensing Luo Junyao's scrutinizing gaze, Wu Jun glanced sideways at her, and quickly turned away with a calm expression.

Luo Junyao counted the time, looking forward to when the show will officially open tonight.

Just when Luo Junyao was a little drowsy, a strange voice suddenly came from outside the hall.

Luo Junyao shivered, opened his eyes and looked outside.

The man spoke the Qi dialect, which seemed to be...

"The right general, Subuka, please see your majesty."

Xu Bu?Isn't it the natal family of the queen of the Qi nationality?Subuka is the queen's biological father.

Luo Jun thought for a while, and it seemed that he did not see this person at the banquet earlier.

This is the same as the left general Ji Xu, who holds the military power of the Qi people.

It's hard to say whether Ji Zhan was able to successfully become the prince and King Qi because he married his daughter. In short, this person can be regarded as one of Ji Zhan's most important reliance.

Hearing Yue Zhang's arrival, Ji Zhan was obviously in a good mood.

He raised his hand and waved away the dancers in the hall, and said with a smile: "Please come in, General Right."

Soon a tall man came in from the outside. He looked like he was over 50 years old. Because he had practiced martial arts all year round, his skin was dark, but he looked very strong, but he was a few years younger than his actual age. age.

"Why is the right general here now?" Left general Ji Xu suddenly asked.

Subuka stood up and glanced at him, and said calmly: "Some things are delayed, please forgive me, Your Majesty."

Naturally, Ji Zhan would not argue with Subhe, instead he smiled at Ji Xu: "It is the king who ordered the right general to do some small things. I have worked hard on the right general. Come here, give me wine!"

"I see." Ji Xu nodded and didn't ask any more questions.

Soon there was a maid serving fine wine, and Subuka was not polite, he picked up the wine glass and drank it down in one gulp.

The Qi people's wine glasses are not as elegant as those in the Central Plains, so Buka drank the full glass without hesitation in a single gulp, causing everyone around to shout in unison.

Seeing this, the smile on Ji Zhan's face deepened a bit.

Bai Jingrong, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said, "Since the king gave you wine, I should also have a drink with General You." As soon as she said this, everyone's eyes fell on her in unison.

Bai Jingrong was once a stunning beauty who was famous all over the world, even all the tribes in the Western Regions had heard of her reputation.

Although so many years have passed, many people think that the beauty Fanghua died young and is no longer famous, but when they saw it at the banquet tonight, they still felt that she was really stunning. No wonder King Qi was fascinated by her back then.

Even at this age, how beautiful was she when she was young?
Now she opened her mouth to smile, which caused many guests to lose their minds.

It has to be said that even though Fanghua is gone, Bai Jingrong's beauty is still impressive.

Luo Junyao propped his chin with one hand, this time he simply admired Bai Jingrong's beauty and style.

Subuka didn't refuse either, he laughed loudly and said, "Thank you, Madam, for giving me the wine."

Soon another maid brought fine wine, Bai Jingrong took the wine glass in front of her and smiled at Subuha, bowed her head and drank the wine in the glass.

Subuka proudly drank another glass, he drank so much spirits in a short while, but his expression did not change at all, which shows that he has an extraordinary capacity for alcohol.

"Tonight is my Qi Clan's feast, but I don't know why the Right General is delayed and why he came so late?" Bai Jingrong looked at Subuka and asked softly.

Several people who were acquainted with Subuka also booed, and Ji Xu sat on the sidelines with a half-smile and watched the excitement.

He and Xu Buhe are in charge of the soldiers and horses of the Qi tribe. He belongs to the royal family of the Qi tribe, and Xu Buhe is the father-in-law of King Qi. The relationship between the two is neither good nor bad.

Hearing this, Subuhe glanced at Ji Zhan who was sitting on the throne, and said, "Reporting to the Empress Dowager, because tonight is my king's feast, I specially prepared a gift for the king and the empress."

"Oh? What kind of gift is it? I'm a little curious." Bai Jingrong said with a smile, "Ah Zhan, what do you think?"

Ji Zhan gave his mother a meaningful look, nodded and said, "What mother said is true, this king is also very curious. In that case, General You, please present the gift and let everyone have a look."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Subuka said with a bow.

After a while, a man in armor came in from outside carrying a tray.

This man was fully armored, obviously an elite soldier of the Qi tribe.

There were even bloodstains on the armor that hadn't been wiped clean, and anyone with a little discernment could see the murderous aura that hadn't dissipated from this man.

This is not a soldier who is usually on standby, it is clear that he has just come down from the battlefield.

But where did the royal court of the Qi clan come from at this time?
All eyes fell on the tray in the man's hand, and the hall suddenly fell silent.

The tray was covered with a cloth, and a ball protruded from the center of the tray.

Everyone couldn't help being shocked.

"A Zhan, what do you think the right general sent?" Bai Jingrong asked softly.

Ji Zhan lowered his eyes and said, "General You's congratulatory gift is naturally not something ordinary, what does mother think?"

"Ah Zhan is right." Bai Jingrong smiled sweetly, and the mother and son met each other's eyes, and they both saw a bit of coldness in each other's eyes.

"Your Majesty and Your Majesty, please take a look." Subuka stretched out his hand and tore off the cloth on the tray, revealing a moment of bloody head.

The timid female relatives screamed out in fright at this terrible gift.

In the main hall, Ji Zhan stared at the head with a smile on his face. The smile on his face gradually dissipated, and his face darkened.

"General Right, what do you mean!"
