Chapter 113 birthday banquet

Shengjing City, Hong Mansion.

Today is the birthday banquet for the master of the Hong Mansion and the minister of the dynasty, Hong Ming. Naturally, it is lively inside and outside the mansion.

And the guests who came to congratulate are also in an endless stream, showing that Hong Ming’s popularity in the officialdom is still very good these years.

“Student Zhang Peng, come to congratulate the teacher on his birthday!”

“Student Guan Shen, come here to congratulate the teacher on his birthday!”

Hong Ming has been in the officialdom for many years, and he is in the position of the chief minister of ceremonies. Although it is not possible to talk about the whole world, there are many of his students in the court and the opposition.

In short, there was a lot of laughter and laughter in the Hong Mansion at this time, and it was very lively.

At this moment, there was a sudden noise outside the Hong Mansion gate.

At this time, Hong Ming, who was chatting with old friends and students in the main hall of Fuzhong, asked the old servant beside him, “Go and see what’s going on?”

The old servant nodded and was about to go out to have a look, but before he could get out of the hall, he saw Hong Ming’s eldest son, who was in charge of welcoming the guests, came in.

“Father, all lords, your Majesty is here!”

The faces of all the ministers present showed strange expressions. In the history of Dasheng, there is no precedent for a monarch to attend a courtier’s birthday banquet. Even if it is a powerful minister who is in power for a while, and the auxiliary minister celebrates his birthday, the king will only send someone to send a gift or It’s just an imperial edict of congratulations, the king will not come in person.

Although it was considered to be the most aggrieved period in the history of Dasheng, but it is not enough for a king to personally come to attend a minister’s birthday banquet, right?

What’s even worse is that Hong Ming’s invitation was given to Liu Yan. When the devil arrives and confronts Chu Yuanqi, wouldn’t that be the Shura Field?

But at this time, these are all things to talk about. Although there are all kinds of inappropriateness, the visitor is the current King of Sheng after all. Your Majesty of the ministers, can’t you leave His Majesty outside the door?

Immediately, Hong Ming, surrounded by a kind of officials, came to greet him outside the door.

At this time, both inside and outside the Hou Mansion were kneeling, and Chu Yuanqi, who was wearing a silver-white dragon pattern robe, also walked in slowly with everyone’s congratulations.

“Old minister Hong Ming, what virtue and ability, can make His Majesty condescend to come to the humble house, this kindness, this old minister is sincere and frightened!”

In the end, Hong Ming was the prefect of the Sili Jian. Although there was no precedent for the situation at this time, his manners and manners were still impeccable.

“Lord Hong, you don’t welcome me here?”

Chu Yuanqi’s eyes narrowed slightly, and he pretended to be a little angry.

“I don’t dare, I don’t dare, it’s just that Your Majesty condescended to come here, which makes me a little flattered by the old minister. Your Majesty, please!”

Just kidding, no matter how useless Chu Yuanqi is now, he is still a king and His Majesty after all.

Then, Chu Yuanqi walked into the main hall surrounded by ministers.

However, although the atmosphere in the mansion was already lively and festive, Chu Yuanqi’s sudden appearance undoubtedly made the atmosphere in the mansion a little more subtle.

Before Chu Yuanqi sat in the main hall for a long time, Hong Ming’s eldest son walked in with a strange expression.

“Your Majesty, father, Prime Minister Liu is here.”

As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere in the main hall froze for a moment, and the expressions on everyone’s faces were a little strange.

Hong Ming drooped his eyelids, did not speak directly, but glanced at Chu Yuanqi calmly.

It seemed that Chu Yuanqi looked calm, but his tightly clenched hand under the table revealed that his mood was not as calm as he seemed.

With a faint sigh, Hong Ming slowly stood up and said to Chu Yuanqi:

“Your Majesty, Old Chen Rong leaves for a moment, go and greet him.”

Chu Yuanqi nodded stiffly, and then Hong Ming followed his eldest son out of the main hall.

At this time, the atmosphere outside the Hong Mansion was also very gloomy.

Liu Yan put on a light blue long gown today, played with a fragrant wooden folding fan in his hand, and added a handsome face. Compared with the rumored, ruthless and ruthless evil thief, Liu Yan at this time is even more Like a handsome boy from a family.

Liu Yan stood quietly in front of the Hong Mansion, motionless.

And all around him were some people with drooping heads who dared not look up, with expressions of fear that could not be concealed.

Beside Liu Yan stood Jia Xu, Lu Bing, and Lu Bu, who had seldom seen since he entered Shengjing.

“Liu Xiang is here, the old man has lost his way!”

Before seeing Hong Ming’s figure, he heard Hong Ming’s enthusiastic voice.

The corners of Liu Yan’s mouth raised slightly, a sneer evoked, but in an instant he changed to an equally enthusiastic smile.

“What did Mr. Hong say? You have always worked hard for me, and devoted yourself to your duties. You are the senior that this marquis respects!”

Although Liu Yan said it very modestly, Hong Ming did not dare to take it seriously.

When Liu Yan entered the arena, Hong Ming gave the eldest son a wink.

The eldest son of the Hong Mansion is also a man with seven orifices, and he immediately understood what his father meant.

Instead, Hong Ming had just led Liu Yan to the atrium, when the eldest son of the Hong residence hurriedly set up the banquet.

Under such a situation, Hong Ming did not dare to let Chu Yuanqi and Liu Yan meet.

Liu Yan didn’t say anything, and let Hong Ming bring him to the banquet table.

On the other side, the eldest son of the Hong Mansion walked to Hong Ming and asked in a low voice, “What about that place? Are your Majesty and Liu Xiang sitting on the same table?”

Hong Ming also had a headache when he heard the words.

Whether it was Chu Yuanqi or Liu Yan, Hong Ming didn’t want to offend Chu Yuanqi, let alone offend Liu Yan, but there was only one main table, so if Chu Yuanqi was seated, should Liu Yan go to the second table?

No, no, he still wants to live a few more years.

“Well, when you go to see His Majesty, you can say that since ancient times, the lord did not share the table with his ministers. Your Majesty has already condescended to be condescending when you come to my birthday banquet. If you let His Majesty and my ministers sit at the same table~www.readmtl.com~ It is really a waste of time to be a minister, and then let you go to your brother to fetch the fine jade case in my room, and arrange a separate seat for His Majesty, and there must be no neglect!”

The eldest son of the Hong family quickly nodded when he heard the words, and then went to do as he did.

And Hong Ming watched the back of his eldest son leaving, but he always felt a bad premonition lingering in his heart.

But Hong Ming didn’t take it to heart. No matter how bad it was, could it be even worse for Liu Yan and Chu Yuanqi to meet now?

……..

At the same time, in the backyard of the Hong Mansion.

A young man in a green robe was sneaking into an inconspicuous firewood room.

“Sir, are you there?”

The young man lowered his voice and called out softly.

Then a figure suddenly appeared from behind the young man like a ghost.

And this young man seems to be used to it and is not surprised.

“Sir, this is the blueprint arranged by the mansion. Take a look. Today that Liu Thief only brought three followers, this is a golden opportunity! We must not let it go!”

The young man was a little excited, with excitement in his eyes.

The figure called Mr. did not respond to the youth’s excitement, but calmly took the blueprint, and then said:

“Okay, you can go back and just pretend that nothing happened.”

Hearing this, the young man seemed a little stunned.

But when he wanted to say something, the figure disappeared in front of him again.
