Empress Mi Benji

Chapter 40 Longevity Banquet (Revelation)
The gorgeous brocade clothes are drawn stitch by stitch by my beloved wife, and it looks like a thousand weights when worn on the body, as if you can feel being comforted by her jade fingers.

Cloud patterns surround the brocade, and blue birds take off. It is gorgeous and natural, and the workmanship is eye-catching.

Si Qinmi lightly moved her lotus steps, circling around Zhuang Xun in satisfaction, watching her achievements being worn by Zhuang Xun, she still felt a sense of accomplishment and satisfaction.

"A person depends on clothes and a horse relies on a saddle. My husband looks like this. No one will say a word, Mr. Jia." Si Qin Mi smiled sweetly.

"What a good son, it's just that the lady's craftsmanship is good." Zhuang Xun raised his hand, and he moved carefully with the big sleeves of his toga, fearing that his actions would stain his wife's heart.

There is no way to describe how moved he is at this moment, a woman who treats you wholeheartedly, even her heart melts, not to mention that Zhuang Xun likes this kind of big sister.

"In my concubine's eyes, my husband is the best, and my concubine is just adorning the beauty." Si Qinmi really didn't blush when she said this.

Zhuang Xun blushed anyway, his family knew about his family affairs.

"You are really my wife, you love me so much, you are almost spoiled by you."

"Are you partial? Isn't that what it should be? Even a concubine favors you, who is going to favor you." Si Qinmi generously admitted that she just favors you, can't her husband be partial to you?
"What do you want me to..." My body is warm, and my heart is also warm.

"Okay, it's time to go to the Longevity Banquet. Xu Xingguan has been waiting impatiently." Pushing Zhuang Xun, Zhuang Xun saw her enthusiastic eyes, Si Qin Mi covered her face, afraid that he would make another unruly move, And then it went on and on, even though it was just a kiss on the cheek.

"Longevity Banquet, um, I'm going." Zhuang Xun nodded, thinking of the Longevity Banquet, his fiery heart suddenly cooled down, and he frowned.

This is a big exam, the future is unknown, and the tests and conspiracies that will be faced, this kind of unknown is the most disturbing.

"Your Majesty, don't worry, I will always be by your side and support you." Seeing Zhuang Xun's anxious expression, Si Qin Mi took the initiative to comfort her.

"Keep a normal mind, don't be sad or happy, woo." Approach, touch, touch and leave.

Zhuang Xun felt that before his lips had time to enjoy the tenderness, the beauty had already stepped back.

"Go, even if you go to the underworld, my concubine will accompany you, not to mention it's just a small longevity banquet, calm your mind, soldiers will block you, and water will cover you." Si Qinmi encouraged Zhuang Xun, her gentle words softened her worried mood.

"Yeah." Zhuang Xun felt that he had been injected with a lot of spiritual energy, and his whole body looked ecstatic. Where is there any longevity banquet? He pursed his lips, stared at Si Qin Mi's pink lips, and kept on look up.

"I found a handkerchief from Lang Jun's clothes. Is it Mrs. Jiang's that I mentioned last time?" Si Qinmi took out the handkerchief and said, Zhuang Xun can't be allowed to be so beautiful. If he continues like this, he still has to attend a longevity banquet.

"This one, I don't want it anymore, you should throw it away." Zhuang Xun took the handkerchief from Jade Bird and said casually, he forgot to throw it away, so he put it in his pocket, and then he forgot it, and he was only asked about it now.

"I don't understand the style, the woman throws you a handkerchief, but it's to show her affection." Si Qinmi pinched Zhuang Xun's face and said with a little taste.

"Is there such a saying? I really don't know the customs of Yu State." Zhuang Xun said solemnly, with a clear conscience, he was not afraid of being questioned.

The topic was successfully transferred.

"No, but there are such plots in some novels, where beauties give embroidered handkerchiefs and write poems." Si Qin Mi didn't bother to ask, so she denied it herself.

"That's it. Thinking that everyone else likes me is not an illusion, what is it." Zhuang Xun said very self-aware that he would be very proud of being able to take down Si Qin Mi, and he was thinking of other things.

"Lang Jun, women won't like being so frank." Si Qinmi said with a smile, seeing that Zhuang Xun had returned to normal, the goal had been achieved.

"Don't you like it?" Zhuang Xun asked.

"The concubine is your wife. Of course I like it. After leaving, we still chat." Of course Si Qinmi likes it. How can my husband not like it when he is honest with him.

She pushed Zhuang Xun again, and Zhuang Xun leaned his cheek.

"Got it, got it, well..." Sneak attack before going out, Xiangxiang's wife.

With his wife's kiss, the Longevity Banquet has become more anticipated, and it doesn't seem to make people so nervous.

Si Qin Mi pressed her fingers on the lips kissed by Zhuang Xun, a smile was drawn on the corner of her mouth, watching Zhuang Xun leave quickly, she didn't bother to remind him to pay attention to his walking posture.

Xu Houde was already waiting outside the gate of the courtyard, and when he saw Zhuang Xun's clothes, he exclaimed in amazement: "Luan bird with cloud patterns, Xiaolian's clothes are very gorgeous, where can I order them?"

Xu Houde's clothes were also silk brocade clothes, but compared with Zhuang Xun's, they paled in color.

"It was embroidered by my wife." Zhuang Xun showed a proud expression.

"It was said that I wanted to make a new dress for my wife and asked her to buy cloth, but in the end she only bought cloth to make a Chinese dress for me."

Zhuang Xun felt his mouth was sweet when he said this. This kind of big sister and daughter-in-law who takes care of others and treats others is really in line with his wishes.

Although she was very annoyed that she bought clothes for her so clearly, she was reluctant to use them herself.

"Xiaolian and his wife have a good relationship, which is enviable, and Mrs. Xiaolian's female celebrity skills are also amazing." Xu Houde praised him, but he can't get excited about such things.

The wife is not as important as the official position. With a high official and a generous salary, the wife can't be changed casually. What's the use of a female celebrity?

The words were not speculative, Xu Houde was thinking about something, and he didn't deliberately try to curry favor, the two sides fell into a brief silence.

Standing outside Xufang, the sun is setting, and the disc moon can't wait to be revealed. Tonight is a full moon night.

"The carriage is here." Xu Houde reminded, and Zhuang Xun saw several carriages coming towards Xu Fang with clattering horseshoes.

The chariot has a roof, is surrounded by pillars, and is covered with straw mats as a curtain.

The pick-up carriage is parked outside Xufang, and it belongs to Xiaolian scholar sent by the imperial court to greet him. Zhuang Xun's carriage has the best horses and is decorated with bells and other decorations. As Xiaolian promoted by the government, this is a unique honor .

"Uncle Xu, please board the same ride." Zhuang Xun invited.

"Houde won't share the honor of Xiaolian. Xiaolian please come, Houde has his own carriage." Xu Houde declined and walked to another carriage.

Seeing this, Zhuang Xun decided not to persuade him. He got into the car by himself, and sat in the car neatly. Hearing the rotation of the axle and the crisp sound of the wind chimes, he felt a kind of joy and comfort.

The breeze is gentle, like the soft onion fingers of a beauty brushing her cheeks, and the autumn wind is also gentle and pleasant.

Zhuang Xun rarely sat in his carriage, but he could feel that the stability of the carriage was really good, and the road was smooth, without any vibration.

The carriage moved slowly, perhaps to let the people in the city see these future officials, or to keep the vehicles moving in an orderly manner.

Zhuang Xun wanted to doze off, the cushion was soft, but there was no support around him, looking outside, he was already on Zhuque Street.

Suzaku Street is an avenue that runs through the entire Yindu from south to north. Zhuang Xun opened the curtain, and many vehicles have converged on the avenue, all in the direction of Miyagi.

Without the barrier of the car curtain, the wind became cooler, waking up his sleepiness. He looked up at the buildings on both sides. They were basically large chambers of commerce, temples, and yamen, which could be regarded as economic and political centers.

On this avenue, you can feel the prosperity of Yindu, and you will never question whether there is something wrong with this country.

It's just that it's not so good to appreciate the pavilions and pavilions, and see people on the top of the building leading bows and arrows.

At first, he thought it was a guard, but Zhuang Xun finally realized when an arrow shot from behind him. He instinctively fell down on the ground, pulled the cushion and leaned against his back.

There were more than one arrow. Immediately, the bustling Suzaku Street was in chaos. The frightened horses were out of control, and the vehicles swayed and galloped out.

Suzaku Street is spacious, almost 30 meters long, but there are many carriages, and there are also many people watching the excitement.

Unsurprisingly, Zhuang Xun was thrown out of the vehicle, and leaned against the side of the vehicle which had left the horses, feeling dizzy, and he was almost not trampled by the horses.

"Go, it's dangerous." A sickly old man in his fifties grabbed him in a daze, and dragged him towards a nearby shop.

"Miss Li?" Zhuang Xun glanced at the old man, then at the woman beside the old man.

Li Rusi was recognized at a glance.

At this time, some people pretending to be Jianghu with knives and swords poured out from several intersections, slashing at Zhuang Xun and the others.

But a group of soldiers seemed to have been prepared, and rushed out from the intersection on the other side, blocking Zhuang Xun and Li Rusi.

It allows them to retreat to a corner near the shop. The shop has been closed and they cannot enter.

"Be careful with the arrows," said Li Pingyuan, played by Ge Tan, with one word of warning.

Seeing Zhuang Xun smashed out of the car, he was in a daze, so he rescued him.

"Kill!" Following Ge Tan's command.

The soldiers fought with these quacks, the collision of swords and the screams of people made everyone in the shop fall silent.

Zhuang Xun looked at this stimulating scene of blood and flesh flying all over the place, and he no longer had any sense of reality. After all, he had moved corpses in the execution ground where the heads were rolling, and now he was still disgusted, and he couldn't vomit.

But after being shot by an arrow just now, he still found a blind spot to hide in fear, and then felt insecure, so he found a wooden board to cover him, and was really afraid that another cold arrow would be shot somewhere, which would kill him.

This scene made Li Rusi on the side couldn't help but look at him contemptuously. Li Rusi, who was born in the general family, couldn't understand Zhuang Xun's actions, so he didn't have any courage at all.

The fighting situation was fairly evenly matched at the beginning, the quacks had an advantage in numbers and could fight one at a time, but with the mobilization of troops in the city, it was a unilateral massacre.

Blood stained Suzaku Avenue red, and flames burned the carriage, like a battlefield.

At this time, the officials who led more soldiers also came late. The soldiers checked all the intersections, and after checking that there were no enemies, they shouted: "The scholar hiding in the shop, the villain has been executed, you can come out!" .”

People's scholar Xiaolian walked out of the shop in twos and threes, each with lingering fear on their faces.

"Xiaolian scholar, please continue to participate in the Longevity Banquet, the common people retreat quickly." The official commanded that these scholars stood up scatteredly, and some even fought with their legs.

Under the guidance of the officials, everyone boarded the carriage again, and the bloody scene after the battle was waiting for others to clean up.

After such a big incident happened, the emperor was still thinking about his longevity banquet, he must be out of his mind, Zhuang Xun slandered him, with a scared expression on his surface.

The desperadoes rushed towards him, death was so close, of course he was afraid of death as an ordinary person.

Are these the methods Yang Xiang used to deal with him?So ruthless, really ruthless.

If he hadn't happened to meet General Li Ru Si Li and his party, he would have gone to see the king of reincarnation today.

Preconceived, Zhuang Xun took it for granted that it was to deal with him, and then thought of the news He Zheng had heard.

"My lord, if you want to attend the Longevity Banquet, you can go with me." Ge Tan didn't care about Zhuang Xun's performance. It's not a crime to be afraid of death. He is still afraid of death, as long as Zhuang Xun is a good person.

"Thank you, General Li, and Miss Li." Zhuang Xun agreed, feeling much safer next to Getan.

"You don't need to thank me." Ge Tan also met Zhuang Xun for the first time, and got into the car first.

"Master and daughter know each other?" Ge Tan opened the topic.

"I met once, and I was lucky enough to show you the way for Miss." Zhuang Xun offered to say.

"It was the time I prayed for you, father. This is Zhuang Xiaolian who is famous all over Yindu." The impression of Zhuang Xun turned bad, but Li Rusi still had a gentle smile, making people feel like a spring breeze.

"The daughter of the Siqin family was buried for free, and the concubine would not be tempted. Zhuang Xiaolian, who released his mother and daughter three times, right." Really, Li Pingyuan might not know, but Ge Guoshi, who followed Zhuang Xun, knew these things.

"It's me, it's just that these things are exaggerated. It can't be compared with the old general's all-out efforts to help Yu State." Zhuang Xun's eyes were filled with admiration.

Knowing the truth of dying lips and teeth, Zhuang Xun had heard a little bit about Cheng Guo's insistence on sending troops to save Yu State. This kind of person who dares to go against the law and do the right thing will be respected.

"Are there any falsehoods in these three things? Exaggeration, how can it be exaggeration?" Ge Tan became interested. He made a rough inspection last time, but mainly believed in the eyes of his junior sister Jiang Xianying.

"It's true, but first, the daughter of the pianist's burial burial disperses her surplus money. That's because I don't have any surplus money. Anyone who is buried will have to disperse it. It sounds like my family's wealth will be wiped out because of this. "

"Secondly, my concubine Wanliang has this matter, and I am very tempted, but I have a beloved wife at home, and I don't want to betray her."

"Third, the mother and daughter are released three times. In fact, my heart is moved. It's just that the daughter is like a young child. How can I bear to do it?"

Zhuang Xun talked about the moisture in it. Recently, he has been boasting that he thinks he is a morally perfect person. He hopes to refute the rumors, but the rumors spread farther and farther, and he has no ability to control them.

Especially the story of the return of the mother and daughter of Sanfang, because Fengzheng fell from the horse, it immediately spread all over the city, and it was almost blowing him to the sky. He didn't realize why Zhuang Xun found the mother and daughter at all.

After listening to what he said, Li Rusi was thoughtful, and raised her evaluation a little bit.

"Even so, Xiaolian is amazing. No wonder he was appreciated by the king of Yu, and he wants to test you." Ge Tan praised.

This seedling is really good. The more he looked at it, the more satisfied he became, and the more Zhuang Xun sat down, the more uncomfortable he became.

"I heard that General Li is not in good health. Is he better? Now that the country is raging, the old general needs to be expelled." Zhuang Xun said with concern.

"A few days ago, King Lai De Yu asked Ge Tianshi to deliver the elixir. He has recovered from his serious illness and was able to attend the Longevity Banquet to thank him in person. At the same time, it is time to go to the front line and bid farewell to King Yu." Ge Tan's answer was watertight.

"Is that so? Then I wish General Li a victory." The palace wall could be seen.
