Chapter 244 The Uninvited Guest

Chang Sui was in a hurry and quickly followed.

At this time, the courtyard door at the back suddenly creaked open, and a person came out from inside, saying in a crisp voice, "Turn on the lanterns outside! It looks so dark!" Immediately after that, two pretty maids walked quickly He responded and went in.And this person also saw the two people standing outside the courtyard, he couldn't help but said, "My lord!"

When King Dingbei saw her, he walked backwards for a while, and it was not that he would not leave.

Liuli just took the opportunity to come out to disperse the smell of alcohol and digest food. Unexpectedly, King Dingbei took people for a walk outside the courtyard, and was immediately startled.However, she glanced at the quiet palace, and then at King Dingbei's face, and soon understood what was going on.So before King Dingbei came back to his senses, she hurried forward to meet him: "Daughter-in-law is going to invite the prince to have tea and enjoy the moon, but coincidentally, he met the prince halfway, just in time, invite the prince to our courtyard Sit down here!"

King Dingbei also knew that she was lying. They didn't respect Mrs. Mei and his parents-in-law very much. However, his own people have already come here, so why don't they go down the steps?Therefore, even though he knew that this was an easy-to-mouth favor, he had to force a little bit of harmony, "I'm just walking around, you guys can play."

Liuli really didn't think about him and Mei Shi together, seeing him walking alone under the moon like a majestic prince, can she bear the heart to let him go away like this?So he said sternly: "It's my daughter-in-law's fault that I didn't invite Mrs. Wang to sit down. It's also because the mansion is used to separate affairs, so I thought that the prince and his wife have a relationship. Since the prince is here, if the wife doesn't invite the prince If you enter the door, it is really the daughter-in-law's fault."

King Dingbei saw that she had a sincere face, not like that vain-minded person, and after thinking about it, she really seemed petty. Although this girl was more tricky and rude, she was more humane than the boss and the boy. It's all over, so let's go.

But I really couldn't bear to turn around, so I cleared my throat.Liuli smiled, turned back to the courtyard and said, "Fan Yun, the lord is here, set up more bowls and chopsticks!"

Of course, the people inside are also clever, and the number of times the prince entered Qi Yunhao's threshold in the past two or three years at most will not exceed twice. Hearing the grandma say that the prince is coming, why don't you rush to wait on him?Fan Yun asked someone to set up the bowls, chopsticks and wine utensils, and immediately came out to greet King Dingbei, and said, "My lord, please!"

King Dingbei stroked his eyebrows, and then willingly came to Chaoqing Hall.

And Qi Yunhao inside heard him coming, and immediately turned dark.Li Xing and the others are in a dilemma, the prince is their marshal, but Qi Yunhao is their master, what should we do?After thinking about it, he still stood up in a hurry, stood beside Qi Yunhao, and saluted King Dingbei who had already walked in.

Seeing Qi Yunhao's expression, Liu Li quickly clasped his palms behind King Dingbei and bowed to him, and Qi Yunhao slapped her face twice, and then he calmed down with difficulty, and said: "Here you come!" Just sit down." King Dingbei was about to lose his temper, Liuli quickly apologized and said with a smile: "Today's festival is a good day for family reunion, so it's important to have wine and enjoy the moon. Please sit down, my lord! My daughter-in-law will pour wine for you."

joke!It's not fun for these two to quarrel, and they can't overthrow the festive banquet that she managed to arrange.

King Dingbei held back his anger and drank a glass of wine, and the glass was filled for him again.Thinking about the current time, Rong Xitang is probably still eating, and King Dingbei is probably not eating when he is out for a stroll.So he took a few dishes for him and put them in his bowl, and said: "My lord, try our dishes. The vegetables and rice are all from Zhuangzi, which are different from those bought outside."

She glanced at Qi Yunhao by the way, and Qi Yunhao slowly picked up a glutinous rice ball and ate it, and said in a dull voice, "It's not poisonous!"

King Dingbei raised his chopsticks and was about to hit him on the head, Liuli quickly turned to them and said nicely, "My lord, try this green vegetable, it's very refreshing!" After drinking a glass of wine, he found that it was wine, so he said, "This is wine for girls! Is there any other wine?"

Liuli hurriedly said: "Yes, of course! Steward Fan, hurry up and get the altar of Du Kang that the former General ate!"

The wine came, and the big cup was changed. King Dingbei drank two cups, slipped around the table, took a fancy to the stir-fried lotus root, ate two chopsticks, thought about it, and picked up a steamed hairy crab. After eating a mouthful of crab meat, the atmosphere gradually relaxed again.Seeing that Liuli was still standing by, she pointed to the next door to Qi Yunhao: "Sit down and eat, there are so many rules."

Liuli pursed her lips and sat down, glanced at Qi Yunhao, and poured him a glass of wine.It's not that she doesn't know that the two of them don't deal with each other, but it's hard for her to be caught in the middle. If he has a conscience, he should make her face a little better now.

Qi Yunhao glanced at her, and said in a muffled voice: "Give me a big cup too."

Lily of the valley next to her immediately brought the cup.Li Xing poured Du Kang for him.

Liuli thought, should she simply invite Mrs. Mei?Anyway, we have to take care of etiquette.So she called Rui'er: "Go to the main courtyard and see what Madam is doing? Just say we are enjoying the moon here, please come and have a seat, Madam." He winked at her as he spoke.

She was also sure that Mrs. Mei would not come, so she dared to say this.Otherwise, she would rather bear the charge of unfilial piety than let anyone go.

Rui'er understood, and said loudly: "Your maidservant, please go now."

King Dingbei watched her go, looked back at Liuli, and said for a long time: "It's hard for you." His tone became a little more kind because of this.

Sure enough, Mrs. Mei didn't come.King Dingbei didn't care either, and after a few cups of wine, he asked the servants to retreat and continue playing.With Li Xing, Fan Yun and others joining, Qi Yunhao also drank with them.

Even if he was reluctant to talk to King Dingbei, Qi Yunhao couldn't help himself when there were too many people.

At this point, Liuli was finally relieved.Seeing that there was no place for her here, she naturally retreated to Rui'er and the others' table.

Seeing that the atmosphere is getting better and the moon has risen to the mid-heaven, suddenly someone came in from outside the door and said: "General Qi, Prince Qing is here."

The current situation is delicate, and anyone who has contact with Prince Qing is suspected of being drawn into a partisan by him, so the word "Prince Qing" suddenly exploded like a thunderbolt in the hearts of everyone!
Li Xing and others quickly looked at Qi Yunhao. Qi Yunhao held the cup tightly and looked at King Dingbei, and King Dingbei's eyes were already rounded. He stared at Qi Yunhao and stood up suddenly: "You With King Qing?"

Qi Yunhao pursed her lips tightly, and said stiffly: "Who am I dating, what does it matter to you?"

The atmosphere that had just been relieved immediately sounded the alarm again. Among the more than 100 people in the yard, none of them dared to say a word.

Liuli walked over quickly, her heart raised in her throat.It's not that she's afraid of things, but that she knows it's really unusual.The Dingbei Palace has always been neutral to the outside world among Crown Prince Qing. Of course, this is the measure Dingbei King made to protect the Qi Palace. Before the time between the kings and the ministers needed to stand in line, Qi Yunhao approached King Qing in private, which was tantamount to submitting to him, and there was no room for turning back.

Seizing power is not like a private fight among officials. Once you choose a direction, there is no room for turning back. If the news spreads, even if Qi Yunhao wants to turn back again, the prince will definitely not believe him.

Therefore, she has never understood why Qi Yunhao did this behind King Dingbei's back. In fact, as long as he maintains a neutral attitude, no matter who succeeds in the future, he will have a good room for maneuver, let alone There is no one to offend.

"You bastard!"

There was a clatter all over the floor, and the table was finally overturned. King Dingbei was furious, standing there like a raging lion.

Li Xing and the others couldn't help taking half a step back.

Qi Yunhao sat upright and didn't say a word, but he definitely didn't mean to regret it.

"This is?"

Suddenly there was a clear voice at the door, and everyone turned around, only to see a man in a moonlight costume standing under the door, looking inside the door in surprise.

Li Xing and others knelt down one after another and said, "My lord!"

When Lu Zhao walked in, he saw King Dingbei and Qi Yunhao with a sulky face, and seeing the dishes all over the floor, he immediately understood.Simply bow to King Dingbei apologetically: "Uncle Shi, I'm sorry to bother you."

According to the title, Lu Zhao is one level older than King Dingbei, but according to his seniority, King Dingbei is the elder. Lu Zhao's bow not only acquiesced in the fact that Qi Yunhao had belonged to him, but also expressed the fact that he had dug in private. Ashamed of King Dingbei's corner.

King Dingbei cupped his fists at him silently, then gave Qi Yunhao a hard look, and strode away.

Lu Zhao stood there, looking at the lanterns hanging all over the yard, feeling a little embarrassed.

He also didn't know where to go during this big festival. He remembered that he would come here with Qi Yunhao at this time of year, so he thought of going to the palace to find him, but he didn't expect him to be happy behind closed doors.

There are fewer and fewer lonely people in this world.

Seeing that the table had been overturned and everyone in the room turned into logs, Liuli couldn't help feeling a little angry when she saw Prince Qing.Under this big festival, a prince can't do anything, he has to come to someone's house, and it's not that he doesn't know his identity.He wanted to simply retreat, but Qi Yunhao sat still. As the hostess, it would not be good to just leave like this.

He stepped forward and blessed Lu Zhao, saying: "Please sit in the prince's hall."

Lu Zhao glanced at her and frowned.

Liuli didn't know what this meant, so she ignored him, seeing that he was not moving, she asked Fan Yun to move the seat, and asked Ling Lan to make tea.Turning around to see Ningshuang Hanxue standing by the table, she hurriedly said: "Why don't you come to see the prince?"

Ningshuang came up, bowed to Lu Zhao first, said "My Lord", Hanxue came up again.
