The Heavens: The Magical World Begins with The Lord of the Rings

Chapter 266 The Dinner Party by the Blackwater River

It can be said that the severe reprimand Gao Yuan did not show mercy to the other party at all. Every sentence deeply hurt his little finger's heart, as if tearing the scar that had healed deep in his heart again. Cracked one after another.

Not to mention that he said these words in front of Sansa, which made Littlefinger's face even more unbearable. After he pretended to be generous and said that he was too abrupt, his expression turned pale. He turned lividly and walked away.

"Lord Gao Yuan, thank you so much just now! If you hadn't saved me from the siege just now, I don't even know how to reject Lord Baelish." Sansa Stark expressed her thanks to Gao Yuan softly, "Is it true that you just said that Lord Baelish was kicked out of Riverrun by my grandfather? Why has no one mentioned this to me? And I have never heard my mother mention this. "

"Duke Hoster will naturally not publicly publicize this matter, because it also involves a scandal in the Tully family." Gao Yuan glanced at the wine glass in his hand, and the wine in it had already bottomed out, "As for you Why didn't your mother mention this matter to you, it's probably because Mrs. Caitlin has been kept in the dark."

Gao Yuan called the waiter to refill the empty wine glass in his hand, but the waiter also filled the wine glass in front of Sansa.But Sansa Stark did not object to this, but waited until the waiter filled the wine glass, and then nodded gracefully to express her thanks to the waiter, and then did not speak again.

"What kind of scandal is it that even my mother doesn't know about it?" After a while, Sansa held up her wine glass and asked Gao Yuan hesitantly, "Forgive my curiosity, can you tell me about this scandal?" Is it the mystery inside, Mr. Gao Yuan?"

"Miss Sansa, this matter concerns the Duke of Hoster of the Tully family and your aunt Lady Lysa. I shouldn't have disclosed it to anyone." Gao Yuan also hesitated before he spoke, "But in order to let you I don’t want to be deceived by people like Littlefinger, I think it’s still necessary for me to tell you about this matter. After all, you can be regarded as half of the Tully family, and you are qualified to know the whole story of this matter.”

"But what I told you tonight, it's best not to tell anyone else, not even your father Ed Stark." Gao Yuan suddenly leaned in front of Sansa and said.

At this moment, their eyes were facing each other, and Sansa, who was close at hand, could even clearly feel the hot breath from Gao Yuan's mouth and nose hitting her face when Gao Yuan spoke.

This made her blush involuntarily, and suddenly she felt like a deer bumping in her heart, and her breathing became short of breath.She had forgotten all of her decorum now, plus Septa Mordane who was seated again to her left.

"I won't tell," Sansa whispered. "I promise!"

"Since you didn't know that Littlefinger Petyr Baelish before just now, then your mother must have never mentioned him to you in Winterfell." Gao Yuan said with a smile. That’s right, why would Madam Caitlin spread the word that Littlefinger once expressed love to her, especially when facing her own daughter.”

"Since you don't know anything about it, Miss Sansa, let me start with the relationship between Littlefinger and your mother and Lady Lysa." Looking at the frowning Sansa Stark, Gao Yuan began to restrain himself Picking up his own smile, he began to talk about the entanglement between Littlefinger and the two sisters of the Tully family.

"Your mother, Lady Catelyn, and her sister, Lady Lysa, both grew up at Riverrun with Petyr Baelish, Lord Hoster's adopted son."

In fact, Edmure, the younger brother of the sisters, grew up with them in Riverrun, but Gao Yuan directly ignored Edmure, an insignificant figure.

He continued: "During this period, the young Lady Lysa fell in love with Littlefinger, but Petyr has always loved your mother deeply. Ever since he was brought back to Riverrun by Duke Hoster at the age of nine From that day on, he fell in love with Lady Catelyn deeply."

When talking about this, Sansa bit her cherry lips lightly, and looked at Gao Yuan's beautiful sky blue eyes, which seemed to be shining brightly.

At this moment, she showed extraordinary interest in the old stories about her mother told by Gao Yuan: "My mother never mentioned these things to us. In fact, even the ordinary things she lived in Riverrun City, They are rarely mentioned with us children."

"Petyr fell in love with your mother, but although Mrs. Caitlin often played with him and even kissed him jokingly, Mrs. Caitlin only regarded him as her younger brother." Gao Yuan shook his head and said, "In You must have heard about what happened after that from your father or other people in Winterfell."

"Lady Caitlin, who was only 12 years old at the time, was betrothed by the Duke of Hoster to the heir of Winterfell."

"Lord Gaoyuan, is the heir to Winterfell you're talking about my father?" Sansa Stark asked.

"The heir of the Stark family at that time was Lord Ed Stark's elder brother, that is, the Brandon Stark who was killed by the mad king on the eve of the outbreak of the Reaver War." Gao Yuan said to Sansa The speculation was denied, "A few years after the engagement was made, Brandon visited Riverrun in person to confirm the time for the Duke of Hoster to marry Lady Catelyn, at this time Littlefinger took the opportunity to propose to Brandon Now, there will be a duel for Catelyn."

"No wonder Lord Baelish said just now that he lost my mother in an important duel." Sansa seemed to be a little drunk, and she crossed her hands to support her lovely head.

"Hmph! His little finger has never won the heart of Mrs. Caitlin, so how can he lose your mother." Gao Yuan snorted coldly with disdain, "I think he is just a toad who wants to eat swan meat. "

"Actually, your mother was already in love with Brandon Stark, just as she is in love with your father now."

Hearing this, Sansa's head shook like a rattle: "It's impossible! My mother has only loved my father in her life. If she didn't love my father deeply, how could she marry him? ?”

"The fact is that Lady Caitlin almost married Brandon Stark at that time, if Brandon hadn't been killed by the Mad King in the Red Castle," Gao Yuan said, "In short, it doesn't matter, it's all What happened before you and Robb were born, the important thing is that your mother is now living happily with Lord Eddard."

"People will only remember the past when they are in deep trouble, and when they are satisfied with the happy life of the present, they will not mention the past, just like Mrs. Caitlin never mentioned it to you It’s the same as the old days.”

Sansa nodded with half understanding: "Lord Gaoyuan, do you think I will live happily with Prince Joffrey in the future like my parents?"

Hearing this, Gao Yuan raised his head and looked in the direction of Prince Joffrey not far away, then shook his head a little heavily: "To be honest, I don't like the marriage between you and Prince Joffrey, Miss Sansa, or the marriage between the lion and the wolf." Combinations often create unforeseen contradictions."

As soon as this remark came out, there was a sudden silence between the two.Sansa Stark lowered her head in some disappointment, and she stared at her little trembling hand.

Gao Yuan, on the other hand, focused all his attention on the wine glass in his hand, and he never cared about the future fate of Sansa Stark.Judging from the original book, the misery suffered by Miss Sansa, although not all can be blamed on the little girl, but a considerable part is the result of her own suffering.

It took a long time for Sansa Stark to speak again: "What happened after that." Faced with Sansa Stark's sudden question, Gao Yuan was very puzzled.

"I mean after Lord Baelish lost the duel, if it's just these things, it's not the scandal that Mr. Gaoyuan said, and there's no need for my grandfather to try his best to conceal it, right?"

"This is indeed not a scandal. The real scandal is what happened later." Gao Yuan nodded and continued to talk, "After Brandon Stark won the duel, he originally wanted to take Xiao After all, no man can endure another man robbing his fiancée."

"But at the begging of Lady Catelyn, he spared Littlefinger's life."

"Petyr Baelish was badly wounded in the duel, so the young Lady Lysa volunteered to nurse him. She gave Petyr her first one that night, and At that time Petyr was still chanting your mother's name." When he talked about this passage, a trace of disgust flashed in his eyes, "Not long after, Lady Lysa was discovered by Duke Horst that she was pregnant with Petil. Tyr's child, your grandfather was furious about it, and he saw it as a disgrace to the Tully family and forced her to kill the child."

"After that, the Duke of Hoster drove Petyr out of Riverrun. Naturally, Duke Hoster did not want to let more people know about such a shameful incident in the family. Therefore, whether it is Lady Catelyn or anyone else knows nothing about it."

Sansa covered her mouth in disbelief. She couldn't believe that her mother and Aunt Lysa had such a love-hate relationship with Lord Baelish.

In fact, she felt that her aunt was quite pitiful. After giving so much for her beloved, in the end, not only did she not reap the long-awaited love as she wished, but she was forced to kill her own child. For this reason, Baelish Your lord has also been driven from Riverrun.

"If that's the case, why didn't my grandfather just let my aunt marry Lord Baelish? After all, she was no longer. As a young girl, it is difficult to find a husband and son-in-law who are well-matched." Sansa hesitated to speak for a few times, but finally said He expressed his doubts, "And how could Duke Arryn agree at that time?"

"Marry a woman whose body is no longer pure as his wife. His status is so noble. He is the guardian of the East Territory and the Duke of the Eagle's Nest City."

Because the Baelish family is too weak to marry the Tully family
"Hmph! His little finger is just a small nobleman from the Five Fingers Peninsula, so he is not qualified to marry the Tully family." Gao Yuan snorted coldly, "As for why Duke Jon Arryn agreed to this marriage at that time, the main reason is Because the Duke of Arryn was old at that time and had no heir under his knees, Lysa had already proved her fertility, and secondly, Jon Arryn needed the support of the Riverland during the War of the Reavers, so he And agreed to the marriage."

Apart from the messy things about the Tully family, the following two chatted a lot of anecdotes.The waiters kept pouring wine for them, and the glasses never ran dry.Although the two didn't drink too much, Sansa didn't seem to remember that she had tasted the wine afterwards.

She just felt that she didn't need to drink, and she was already intoxicated under the magic of tonight's live banquet, dizzy with all kinds of fascinating affairs.She was fascinated by the prosperity and beauty that she had dreamed of all her life in Winterfell, but she never dared to expect to see. To use a poem that Mr. Gao Yuan blurted out, it is that the random flowers are gradually becoming charming.

Troubadours from all over the Seven Kingdoms sat in front of the king's tent and let the music flow in the brightly lit night; a juggler threw flaming sticks in the air; The ugly "moon boy" dances on stilts in colorful clothes and taunts everyone present.

Even Gao Yuan, who was sitting beside her, couldn't escape Yuetong's cunning and venomous tongue, "Say he is an evil dragon in human skin. If you want to ask why he is an evil dragon, everyone will look at his exposed chest." You will know that this evil dragon from the valley still has two daggers turned from dragon claws hidden in its bosom."

For this reason, Sansa Stark also wanted to make fun of Gao Yuan: "Master Gao Yuan, is what Yue Tong said true? He said that you are an evil dragon."

"Then he is wrong! I should be a rune dragon, and I am the kind of dragon that can ignite the entire forest with a breath of dragon flame. You can't imagine that I am changing into a dragon How huge your body is at that time, it must be beyond your imagination." Gao Yuan answered Sansa's question with a smile.

The most hilarious thing is that Yuetong also sang a little tune to make the archbishop happy, which made Sister Mordane next to Sansa change her serious expression in the past, and spilled the wine in her hand with a smile.

Gao Yuan chatted with Sansa at the banquet all night, even though he drank a lot of wine, his etiquette was still considerate.His compliments followed one another, and the humorous stories he told always kept her laughing.Under the drunken eyes, Sansa looked at Gao Yuan beside her, as if she saw the prince in her mind.

At the same time, exquisite dishes were served on the table, and the empty plates were removed one by one.There’s thick barley venison soup, beetroot salad sprinkled with nut chips, yak meat roasted to a crisp and plum salad, and snails poached in honey and garlic.

Sansa had never eaten snails in the north, Gao Yuan taught her like a very gentleman prince, digging out the meat from the snail shell with a silver fork.Then there is the grilled trout that was just caught from the Blackwater River and sealed in clay. Originally, Sansa Stark didn't want to touch this trout. On the one hand, she looked at the yellow mud covering it and didn't know what to say for a while.

In the end, Gao Yuan saw her embarrassment, and helped her pry open the hard soil covering the outside, revealing the tender white fish inside.He even cut up the most tender parts of the trout for her and placed them in front of her.It's like the treatment that a queen deserves,
Then waiters brought them white bread, pigeon pie, baked apples smelling of cinnamon, and grapefruit cakes drizzled with icing sugar.But Sansa was already too full at the moment, and after barely swallowing two grapefruit cakes, she couldn't eat anything anymore.

Just as everyone at the banquet was devouring their food, King Robert not far away suddenly let out a roar.The atmosphere at the banquet was extremely annoying, and the voices on the field were naturally very noisy, so Gao Yuan, who was sitting next to Sansa, didn't hear clearly what the king was roaring.

"Shut up!!!" Everyone present heard clearly now, his voice was as loud as a bell, and immediately overwhelmed the voices of all present.

I saw that the originally noisy and lively banquet scene suddenly fell silent. Under the suspicious eyes of everyone, King Robert staggered and stood up with a flushed face.He held a goblet in one hand and looked as if he couldn't get any drunker.

"Smelly woman, you don't want to worry about what I do today." King Robert growled at Queen Cersei, "I am the king of the seven kingdoms, do you understand? Yancheng, I am in charge here, I said that I will participate in the team competition tomorrow, and I will participate in the team competition tomorrow, so you can't force me here."

Hearing King Robert's proclamation, everyone present stared at the king dumbfounded.Gao Yuan saw Ser Barristan, the Kingsguard guard beside him, and hurried forward to support his king.Neither the king's younger brother, Lord Renly, nor Petyr Baelish, who was right beside him, interfered.

Queen Cersei's face was completely bloodless at this time, as if she was wearing a mask carved from ice and snow.She suddenly sat up from her seat, pulled up her skirt and left the scene without saying a word, and the servant who was serving her hurriedly followed.

Kingslayer Jaime Lannister still wanted to step forward to persuade King Robert, but when he just put his hand on the king's shoulder, he was thrown away by him.The kingslayer staggered back a few steps, then lost his balance and fell to the ground.

King Robert couldn't stop laughing wildly when he saw this, and said tauntingly: "When is it your turn to persuade me, a shitty knight? I have a lot of ways to make you fall to pieces, remember! 'Kingslayer'!! !"

"As long as I still have the warhammer in my hand, no one can stop me. Prince Rhaegar is a fart, and he was hammered to death on that ruby ​​shoal with the warhammer." King Robert took his wine glass and slammed his chest , the whole satin coat was stained red with wine.

Kingslayer Jaime Lannister got up from the ground and dusted himself off like a dog whose master has just driven him from his side.The Kingslayer's tone was unusually stiff: "Yes, Your Majesty the King!"

Duke Renly walked forward with a smile on his face, and pretended to care: "Robert, you see that you have spilled all the wine, how about I get you a new glass?"

"It's getting late, do you want me to escort you back to the Prime Minister's Tower?" Gao Yuan put his hand on Sansa Stark's shoulder, startling her, "As long as you stay in King's Landing City long enough, Chances of seeing it abound, and the Prince Joffrey you like is probably no better than his father."

"Thank you for your kindness, Lord Gao Yuan! But I still want to go back with Sister Mordane." Sansa politely rejected Gao Yuan's kindness, but when she looked at Sister Mordane beside her, she was surprised to find that she was not She knew when she was lying on the table, snoring softly in a "lady" manner.

Gao Yuan looked at the other party with some amusement: "Before I leave, my good intentions are still valid! As long as Miss Sansa asks, I will be more than happy to send you back to your father's side."

"Then I will trouble you, Mr. Gao Yuan." Sansa said nervously, "Thank you, you are really thoughtful! I am indeed tired, and the road back to the Red Castle is very dark. It would be great if someone protected me But that's all."

"What about Sister Mordane? She doesn't have a gentleman who would kindly send her home." Sansa suddenly thought of Septa Mordane.

"It's very simple!" Gao Yuan raised his hand to signal to the audience, and soon a drunken knight came in front of them. Sansa saw this knight in front of him in the arena today, he seemed to be Yon Sir Anda, eldest son of the Earl of Royce.

Gao Yuan frowned and stared at Sir Anda, who was staggering in front of him, only to hear him reprimand softly: "What's wrong, you look so drunk, where did your father, Earl Jon, go? Why wasn't I at the banquet today? See him?"

"Hic was reprimanded by my father for most of the day today, so he drank a few more glasses in the evening." Sir Anda rubbed the back of his head embarrassedly, "My father and the others took Robert back after the competition , He seems to have been seriously injured in the competition field today. My lord father ordered me to take someone to stay and protect you, Lord Gao Yuan. If you have any orders, just tell me."

"Take two people with me and send Sister Mordane back to the Prime Minister's Tower of the Red Castle, and let the rest go back quickly." After giving the order with Sir Anda, Gao Yuan turned around and stretched out his hand to Sansa Stark.

Sansa Stark froze for a moment, then gave Gao Yuan her hand.She let Gao Yuan pull herself up without any resistance, but her feet suddenly softened, and she threw herself into Gao Yuan's arms.

Sansa, who was in Gao Yuan's arms, felt hot at first, and Gao Yuan's body in front of her was as hot as a furnace.He raised his head and looked at Gao Yuan in a dazed way, only to see that the other party was looking at him with clear eyes at the moment, as if he was looking at a child, without any evil intentions at all.

When she struggled to stand up from Gao Yuan's arms, King Robert had already stumbled and didn't know where to go, and the banquet benches were half empty.The dinner party was over, and the beautiful dream disappeared, but the prince who was holding his little hand in front of him was standing in front of him in real terms.

Thinking of this verse, Sansa Stark couldn't help but feel hot for a while.Without saying a word, she followed Gao Yuan closely and left the banquet scene. The ground was rough and rocky. Keep reminding her where there are obstacles.

Flickering firelight towered on either side of them, and she felt dizzy all over the ground beneath her feet.Sansa needs to lower her eyes to carefully see the road under her feet before she settles down.

Under the leadership of Yu Gaoyuan, they shuttled between the tents. Different flags and armor were hung outside the door of each tent.Slowly the surrounding tranquility became heavier with every step Sansa took, and they finally entered the city of King's Landing through the King's Gate guarded by the City Guard.

The road here is far easier to walk than the road outside the city, and the street lights are more abundant.But Sansa still didn't dare to look up at the handsome face of Duke Gaoyuan, now they were no longer in the dark forest.

If I kept staring at Master Gao Yuan like in the forest, I would definitely be discovered by him.And if he blushed again, how would he explain it to him?
　This one may be a little watery, so I wrote it a little longer as compensation.Soon it was time to capture Littlefinger and bring him to trial.

　　And to reiterate, Sansa Stark is not a heroine, not a heroine, not a heroine, important things are said three times.On the one hand, the description of Sansa Stark here is for the follow-up arrangement, and on the other hand, it is for the number of words, the number of words (manually funny)
