Tyrant's First Favorite Concubine

Chapter 157 Feasting Celebrities ([-])

Three days later, the General's Mansion suddenly became lively, the butler was busy planning everything for the banquet, and by the time the sun set, the entire General's Mansion had been properly arranged without any mistakes.

Gu Cen Ya sat in the flower hall beside him, expressionless, how he got here these few days, even he himself didn't know.

He has been struggling in his heart, and when he faces Yu Li, he will feel a burst of heartache.He even started to be afraid, afraid that one day when he woke up early in the morning, someone would come and tell him that Yu Li was no longer there.

Youtong left on the second day after the edict was read. She said she had more important things to do. He knew that she would always be busy. She had already been busy for more than ten years for this revenge plan and for the country of the Imperial Dynasty. Year.

Therefore, when he faced Youtong, he was even more unable to retreat.

"General, His Royal Highness has arrived." Butler Rong bowed and reported.

Gu Cenya froze slightly, why did he come so early today?

However, before he could think about it, Dongfang Shangyu had already walked in, holding Yu Li's Green Qiqin in his hand.

Dongfang Shangyu smiled lightly, and said: "It should be a pleasant thing for the general to entertain the celebrities of the imperial capital, why does it look so melancholy?"

Gu Cen Ya also smiled, and said: "Your Highness, the Crown Prince, has thought about it a lot, and Cen Ya is already overjoyed to be able to invite His Highness, the Crown Prince."

Dongfang Shangyu didn't bother to investigate the truth of this statement, but just looked around and asked, "Why didn't you see Lingmei? I took her piano last time, and I wanted to return it to her today."

Gu Cen Ya's face darkened, and he said: "Li'er is not in the mansion today, if His Royal Highness wants to return the piano, it's better to choose another day."

Dongfang Shangyu thought for a moment, nodded and said, "That's fine."

At this time, Butler Rong came in again and reported: "General, the others are also here, and the old slave has led them into the hall."

"Okay, let's go on and let the banquet begin."

After Gu Cenya finished speaking, he said to Dongfang Shangyu, "His Royal Highness, please—"

Dongfang Shangyu still hugged the qin, walked out of the flower hall, and headed for the hall.

In the hall, glazed lamps had already been lit, and the lights were brightly lit. On both sides of the hall, those invited people stood up and saluted as soon as they saw Dongfang Shangyu and Gu Cenya.

Gu Cenya pointed to the main seat in the center of the hall, and said to Dongfang Shangyu, "Your Highness, please take your seat."

"Inappropriate!" Dongfang Shangyu walked to the deputy seat below the main seat without looking aside, and said, "Since the general is the host today, let's forget about my status as the crown prince. Everyone is a young man today. Caijun, don't have any scruples when you're together."

After all, Gu Cenya sat opposite Xu Lin'an, the prime minister's son.

Xu Lin'an was about the same age as Dongfang Shangyu. He was single-handedly tall and wore a crimson brocade robe, which gave off a bit of heroism.However, although Xu Lin'an was born in a wealthy family, he lingered in the flowers, somewhat unruly and impetuous.

Seeing Dongfang Shangyu sitting opposite him, Xu Linan quickly forced a smile.

Dongfang Shangyu ignored it, and said to Guo Ziliang, the commander of the guards beside him, "I haven't seen you for a few days, and Mr. Guo has lost weight again. I said earlier, Mr. Guo, don't work too hard. Your body is the most important thing, isn't it?"

Unexpectedly, Guo Ziliang was young, energetic, and straightforward, so he ignored the identity of the crown prince, saying: "His Royal Highness has not been in court for many days, and he probably has forgotten what he looked like before he came down. Wrong." Dongfang Shangyu was not angry either, he liked Guo Ziliang's personality, but such a personality was not tolerated by his father, Dongfang Jing, and almost lost his position several times.

Gu Cenya saw that Dongfang Shangyu was already seated, so he couldn't refuse, he went straight to the main seat, and said to the housekeeper, "Let's serve the wine and food first."

The housekeeper responded and left.

Gu Cen Ya stood up, picked up the wine glass on the table, and said: "Today, my Grand General's Mansion can be said to be full of splendor. The wealthy sons of the imperial capital, famous scholars and talents, all gathered here. I, Gu Cen Ya, are very happy , let’s have a drink here as a token of gratitude.”

Guo Ziliang stood up and said, "I will drink with the general."

Gu Cen Ya smiled and said, "Please."

Even though this Guo Ziliang was born in the military camp, he had never been under Gu Cenya's command. Now that he is in charge of the imperial guards, he is in charge of the royal family's security. All he has is a passion to serve the country loyally.

After drinking a cup, Gu Cenya said: "Master Guo is less than [-] years old, and he is already in command of the official residence guards. I, Gu Cenya, admire him very much. I have always wanted to have a drink with General Guo. I don't want to wait until today to realize my wish."

"The general is humble!" Guo Ziliang laughed, "Who doesn't know the reputation of the general who conquered the West in the Yutian Dynasty?"

Xu Lin'an seemed a little displeased when he heard this, and said, "Did Mr. Guo flatter a little too much?"

Guo Ziliang snorted coldly, and said: "You never care about state affairs, how do you know how brave the general is on the battlefield?"

"Although I don't care about state affairs, I also know that Yu Tianchao's surname is Dongfang!" Xu Lin'an's words were like a bell, and the whole hall fell silent.

Gu Cenya naturally understood that Xu Lin'an wanted to show his face in front of Dongfang Shangyu.

However, he doesn't know much about Dongfang Shangyu after all!

Sure enough, Dongfang Shangyu said with a smile: "It was agreed today not to talk about state affairs, why have you all forgotten?"

"Yes! Today I ordered the housekeeper Rong to invite the best luthiers and dancers in the imperial capital. Let's have a good time together and not talk about state affairs!" Gu Cenya smiled deeply. He held today's dinner because he originally wanted to see the various aspects of the imperial capital. The political inclination of this force does not have too many plans.

But now, his goal has been achieved.

"Red Crispy Goose—"

"Cuiliu Fragrant Steamed Balls——"

“Braised Whole Fish——”

"Hibiscus bamboo shoot soup—"

"..."

Butler Rong stood at the entrance of the hall, announcing the name of the dish in a drawn-out voice, followed by seven or eight maids with good looks.

The maids carried trays and presented the food and wine on each table one by one.Then bowed and exited the door.

At this moment, Shengyue remembered that there was a pipa narrated first, and everyone put down the bamboo chopsticks in their hands and listened intently.
