The world is heavy and late

Chapter 313 Going to the Banquet ([-])

Xu Zhong's expression didn't change a bit, as if the person Wang An was talking about wasn't him.

"Thank you, my lord, for your kindness, but I still need to ask my wife's opinion again."

The voices in the hall stopped for a while, and suddenly there was louder laughter. Of course, Wang An was the most rampant among them, not only laughing, but also mocking wantonly: "Master Xu, so you are afraid of your own crimes."

Xu Zhong didn't open his mouth to speak, and everyone joked about it, but it passed. After all, these words are never the highlight on such an occasion.

King An drank two cups before asking: "Master Xu has just finished disaster relief from Xuzhou, why is he in such a hurry to visit his old friend?"

In fact, Wang An and everyone present suspected that Xu Zhong came to Yizhou for some important matter. Whether it was a secret visit or a spy, Wang An didn't pay attention, but he wanted to know whether it had anything to do with him.

Xu Zhong is too special now, if he is a small official, he seems to be an insignificant person, so insignificant that as long as this name is mentioned, people who don't know him will not know which mountain god he is.

But those who know will be very vigilant. Looking at the past few years when Xu Zhong entered the court, it seems that he is behind every big move of the emperor.

Will he suddenly come to Yizhou when Zhang Zhi is seriously ill?No one would believe in the possibility of this.

However, Xu Zhong is not only a person who is so obsessed with sex, but even the world may not be as important as Xia Qing in his heart.

Xu Zhong was not surprised that King An would ask this question. In fact, when King An insisted on letting the couple live, they already knew it would happen.

Xu Zhongzhong sighed, but said with a relaxed face: "It's an old friend in the family, she rarely goes out of Beijing, and the lower officials don't feel at ease, so I came with her."

After finishing speaking, he raised the wine glass on the table and said in the direction of King An: "This cup is for the prince, thank you for your help."

Although Xu Zhong gave the real answer, the sad thing about this matter is that no one believed the answer.

It's a joke, Xu Zhong's eunuch married a wife is enough to shock them, do they still believe that Xu Zhong is a person who dared not listen to the emperor's order for his wife?
They never thought that it would be even more difficult for an eunuch to declare to everyone that he married his most beloved woman and watch others criticize him from then on.

It seems that what people often only want to get is the answer in their hearts. Once they decide, it is very difficult to change it.

King An obviously fully respected this rule, he did not drink Xu Zhongjing's glass of wine.

Instead, he continued: "Lord Xu, this is not interesting. The friendship between the king and the lord has not been a matter of one or two years. Now that the affairs in Xuzhou have not been settled, Master Xu hastily appeared in Yizhou. Must be very busy."

After King An finished speaking, Prince An, who was on the left, interjected: "Master Xu is now a big celebrity in front of the emperor. In the city of Yizhou before, he and his father also cooperated a lot. What else can Master Xu do this time?" Wherever you need the help of Prince An's Mansion, just ask."

Mr. Chen beside him also looked around, obviously wanting to know some definite news from Xu Zhong. King An is the local emperor of Yizhou City, but compared with the emperor, he is still vulnerable. If...

If there is any accident, it should be prepared early.

Xu Zhong really sighed. Although he and Xia Qing had discussed it in the room before, when this kind of situation really happened, Xu Zhong still felt that it was really easy for people to get along with each other.

It is easy to be credulous and easy to doubt.

It seemed that Xia Qing's method was really going to be used. Xu Zhong felt like laughing because of a headache. He didn't know how Xia Qing should be proud of it now.

He put down his wine glass, raised his head and said with a little deep meaning: "There is indeed an old incident involving this family. There was a daughter who entered the palace before, but it has been silent since then."

Speaking of which is just right, one more point can't be more, and one point less seems to say nothing.

At least Wang An and the others thought so. Wang An even nodded, as if he had let go of some burden, but asked a little worriedly: "When did this happen? Master Xu also knows, even if this king is Yi He is the king of the state, but there is nothing he can do about things that are too long ago."

I still have to confirm it again. Although it sounds like it doesn't matter, it should really not matter.

Xu Zhong lowered his eyes and said, "It was only five or six years ago."

King An breathed a sigh of relief, five or six years, five or six years ago, he had been a prince in Yizhou for many years, and it couldn't be about his old affairs in the palace.

As for other old affairs in the palace?They are not ready to ask, firstly, asking this matter itself is very dangerous, and secondly, they really feel that they cannot ask.

Relieved, Wang An raised the cup on the table and said, "I am naturally concerned about Mr. Xu's important matters. Zhaoer, you should follow this matter carefully these few days."

After finishing speaking, he drank the wine in the glass in one sip, and stretched out his hand to signal the beauty beside him to come forward and pour wine for the two of them.

Wang An, who was relaxed, was also pleasing to the eye when he saw the dance music on the stage, and he snorted when he looked at the dancing girl with alluring eyes at the front.

The dancing girl twisted her waist immediately and stepped forward when she saw the opportunity. She had spent a lot of money to inquire about it before she came to Prince An's Mansion. The person who entertained him today was a eunuch. Although he looked a little more handsome than the others, she didn't want it.

It's better to follow An Wang. Even if I become a concubine in the future, it's much better than being this Lao Shizi dancer again.

Of course, Wang An could see the superficial scheming of the dancing girl, but it doesn't matter for a beauty, and it doesn't matter if she has a heart.

At the beginning of An Wang, the court gradually changed from a profligate voice to an indulgent sensuality, but they are all people of status, and a few words of teasing is enough. No matter how many things are too much, they can be left alone later.

When a new batch of dancers came on the stage, the dancers in the hall naturally scattered to their favorite targets. This was actually very impolite in Dajin, but Xu Zhong was no stranger to it, as was the case in Prince An's Mansion.

I will keep a large number of actors and dancers, but I will invite outsiders to the palace from time to time. If there is something interesting in the banquet that night, it will be directly recorded in King An's account. If not, the work of pouring tea and wine can also be done by dance music , dancers who want to escape from slavery often want to give it a go here.

Xu Zhong used to just sympathize with what happened to these women, but after knowing what Xia Qing wanted to do, he always felt a little regretful.

It seems that there is no difference in being born as a human being, but it seems to be all different.

There were more or less people around the officials present, except for one, Mr. Chen. It seemed that everyone was familiar with him, and no one would come to him.

As for the slender dancer beside Xu Zhong, just as she was about to stretch out her hand and lean down to help Xu Zhong pour wine, Xu Zhong stopped her.

The dancer Yingying raised her eyes, and her eyes flickered, but she found that the person in front of her hadn't looked up from the beginning to the end.

Xu Zhong didn't raise his eyes, because he knew that this was also a way for dancers to attract others. She was only surrounded by light veils, so she gave enough space to be appreciated by others.

He just blocked the dancer's movements with his arms, Xu Zhong's thick clothes were still between the two of them, Xu Zhong whispered: "Girl, you don't need to do anything, I have a wife, please find someone else."

The dancer smiled lightly and said, "Your Excellency is so strange, who in this hall does not have a wife?"

Xu Zhong sighed and said, "Then please keep a little distance from me, girl."

The dancer Buyi wanted to move forward, but when Xu Zhong raised his eyes, the dancer's movements froze for a moment, Xu Zhong politely pointed to a place three feet away from here, and the dancer froze and moved to the side.
