Compete for the Song Dynasty

Cai Jing took Zhao Xu to find Wang Pang. He heard that Wang Pang was in the other courtyard in the garden. Now he seems to be talking, "Hmph, that guy will be uneasy and kind when he makes trouble."

After all, Zhao Xu's identity is different from that of Cai Jing, he just smiled silently: "Has he been here for a long time?"

"That's right, the prince has been here since he first arrived in Dali, and he came here to give gifts and propose marriage, but it has been two months and he still refuses to leave. I think he is not welcome as the country's prime minister. I guess he might as well stay here if he goes back. It's comfortable to stay”

While speaking, we have come to the entrance of the courtyard. There are no guards at this entrance. The two of them walked through the moon gate. The courtyard has two entrances, bypassing the front yard and the back yard. The lights are on.

"Brother Wang is really here, you said he hasn't gone to drink with everyone, is there something important?" Zhao Xu hesitated when he came here.

Cai Jing scratched his head: "Probably not. If there is something important, the prince will say it in advance. Besides, if you are the prince, even if you interrupt him, he probably won't blame you. Let's go quickly so we can answer the princess." The two speeded up. walk towards the light

The guards under the corridor saw that Cai Jing and Zhao Xu bowed their hands and saluted

"My lord is here," Cai Jing asked, "It's inside." After the guard said, Cai Jing took Zhao Xu and entered the door, and Zhao Xu was stunned. There were two people sitting in the room, and a girl in red was waiting on the side. Look again The person sitting next to the king looked dignified, and Lin Xiuxiu was still sitting at the table

"Huh?" Zhao Xu couldn't help looking at the two of them in surprise.

Seeing that it was Cai Jing and Zhao Xu, Wang asked angrily, "What are you two doing here?"

Cai Jing also felt that the atmosphere in the room was not right, but he still said: "Everyone in Huiying Building is waiting for you. The princess let me take a look, lest you forget."

Wang listened and his face sank: "Do you need to remind me what I do? You two go back and tell the princess to let everyone have a drink first, and I will go when I finish talking." When he spoke, the tone of the two of you was a little serious. These obviously refer to Cai Jing and Zhao Xu

Lin Xiuxiu sat at the table and bowed her head in silence Zhao Xu liked Lin Xiuxiu very much the first time she saw her at the Manchun Courtyard the day before yesterday Teasing a pair of beautiful feet, that beauty is quite different

Cai Jing had already heard the reprimand in Wang Pang's tone, and was surprised that he rarely saw Wang Pang so serious at ordinary times. He turned his head to look at Zhao Xu who was in a daze, and hurriedly pulled him: "Let's go, let's go back first."

Pulling Zhao Xu out the door and rushing back to the garden, Cai Jing was at a loss: "Prince, why is the prince so strange today, I rarely see him so serious?"

"Ah oh..." Zhao Xu didn't seem to have recovered at all, but he was a little dissatisfied in his heart. There seemed to be a slight sour feeling in his dissatisfaction. Why is Lin Xiuxiu here? What are he talking about with Brother Wang? Cai Jing murmured in his heart that the lord said that he would be fine, so why did he speak the same way to the prince, but seeing that Zhao Xu was out of control, he poked Zhao Xu and asked, "Do you know who is in the prince's room?"

"Yes, I recognize it as the top card of Manchun Courtyard."

Cai Jing said softly, I don’t know Manchun Courtyard, of course he knows where it is So she said the words next to the king, Su Xiaomei suggested that everyone should drink first. These people are not outsiders, and Xi Libo and others are chatting hotly, and they all said: "Wait a little longer, there is no reason for the prince not to come, let's eat first."

Zhao Xu sat back in his original seat and was no longer chatting and laughing like before he just went. He always looked at the door and wondered why Brother Wang didn't come.

After about half a stick of incense, the figure next to the Kung Fu King finally appeared in front of the banquet hall of Huiying Building, with the same heroic posture and gestures with pride and calmness: "Brothers, I will be late and let everyone wait for a long time."

Even without this banquet, Wang Pang appeared in the eyes of everyone, as if he was a star. His identity and experience and his status in everyone's minds did not match his age in his early twenties. Everyone saw Wang Pang coming in. Stand up: "My lord, you are here"

"Brother, you will be punished for being late, haha"

Wang Pang waved his hand, went to the right seat and picked up the wine glass: "It's okay, today is to welcome the crown prince and Brother He, everyone must have fun, I will drink this glass first." After saying that, he raised the wine glass and drank it down

"It's so good." Xie Libo also returned to his place where he should be sitting, raised his wine glass and greeted with a laugh: "When the prince comes, we can start the banquet for a while. If he doesn't explain clearly why he is late, we must not spare him." Everyone listened laughed [

Cai Jing hurriedly lowered his head for fear of being scolded by the king. It turned out that when he came back, he told the table that the reason why the prince was late was because he was meeting a stunning beauty.

Gao Zhisheng was a little bit envious of these people laughing at him. In terms of status, the two are on par Looking at her husband-in-law, others can't see it, but she feels a little bit of embarrassment in the smile

Sitting next to Wang, he saw that Zhao Xu was unhappy and slightly disappointed, and said to him, "Wang Ye waits until the matters of the discussion field in the past few days are finished, and we will set off. You have to be prepared, and I will send you back when everything else is done. Capital"

"Really?" Zhao Xu, who was still unhappy just now, opened his eyes wide and asked in surprise

"Of course it's true, can I lie to you? Why don't you drink less wine for a while, and I have something to ask you when the banquet is over."

Zhao Xu thought that Wang Pang would definitely ask him about coming to Yongzhou in advance. He stammered and said: "Well, everyone is happy today, brother, why don't you let me drink a few more drinks? I'll ask you later."

"Hmph, okay." Wang Pang seemed to agree with Zhao Xu's reluctant request, but then said, "In that case, I'll tell you what the one who just came said to me later, okay?"

Zhao Xu was immediately discouraged, holding the wine glass in his hand, hesitating, hesitating, and then putting it on the table, Gao Zhisheng didn't know what was going on, and said haha ​​at this moment: "My dear brother, I think the prince treats you very well. Brother, you are really lucky."

"Haha, Prime Minister Gao has won the prize. Let's set off in a few days. My brother, please take care of the Prime Minister. Don't make any mistakes." Wang Pang raised his glass and entrusted him.

Gao Zhisheng looked at the king and then at Zhao Xu: "You brothers really don't look like each other, but you have a good relationship. Who told me to ask Zhennan Wang for something? But then again, I didn't expect Yang Yizhen to collude with Jia Qing and others. I think we should set off as soon as possible to avoid any accidents, then I will really become a sinner of Dali."

Wang Pang shook his head and smiled: "I think the Prime Minister of the country is already returning home, but you can rest assured that Jia Qing and others haven't returned yet, so the marriage of Miss Duan Su from Dali Kingdom must still be in suspense. In addition, someone wants to use the crown prince to go to Dali to destroy it." The relationship between Dali and my Song Dynasty, this strategy of borrowing a knife to kill people may disturb the peace of Dali and Dasong. Although Dali is not my opponent at all, the border war is not a good thing after all."

Gao Zhisheng didn't feel comfortable listening to it, but what Wang Pang said was true. Dali, at best, was just two or three roads away from Da Song. How could he compete with Da Song? others

The banquet is said to be a welcome event for the prince and the impeachment bowl, but in fact, everyone has not had time to reunite since they arrived in Yongzhou. Everyone knows that after Wang Pang came to Yongzhou, he has a lot of business, so after the excitement, no one dared to drink too much. left early

Wang Pang asked Zhao Xu to go to the study with him, and when he heard that Zhao Xu's head grew big when he went to the study, he looked around at Su Xiaomei and Hou Shuxian who were sitting here, grinning and drinking in satisfaction, and said with a smile: "Look at your frowning look. You frown when you go to the study, does the prince still let you sleep in the study?"

"Why can't it be the study room where I slept last night?" Zhao Xu muttered, thinking that he is also a prince, even if it is half-truth now, it is not good to sleep in the study room.

"You really think about it. Everyone will go to the market with me tomorrow morning. I don't have time to accompany you in the study today." Wang Pang said, glanced at Su Xiaomei Su Xiaomei was smiling and silent

No matter how big the problem is, Wang Pang can always be calm and composed, not to mention the things he knows now, although he finds it difficult, but it is not impossible to solve it. He smiled and said to Zhao Xu: "Maybe I am happy to arrange for the prince today. I don't know about going to bed in the hospital, but I have to ask the prince about some things first."

He seemed to be joking about Zhao Xu, but he was nervous and happy, wondering if Lin Xiuxiu hadn't left and was still in another courtyard, and then he looked at Wang Pang's sly smile, knowing that he was being teased by Wang Pang, and he couldn't help but poke his neck, "Ask Brother Wang if you ask. Don’t ask me, I still have something to ask you brother.”

Apart from the Huiying Building, the group split lanes in the garden, some were going to bed, some were patrolling, and some were going to arrange things to be done tomorrow; Wang Pang and Zhao Xu walked towards the courtyard of the study. The servant added two more candlesticks in the study, and then a maidservant brought tea, fruit snacks and other things. The king stood beside the desk and waited for the servant and maid to leave. Then he turned and cupped his hands and said, "Just before the banquet." I am here to apologize for disrespecting the prince.”

Zhao Xu had been looking at Wang Pang's back just now, and he was full of worries. Suddenly, seeing Wang Pang apologizing to himself, he hurried over to support him and said, "Brother Wang, don't worry too much. I think there must be a reason why Brother Wang was like that at that time. It's just this Lin Xiuxiu." Why did you come to the palace?"
