The next day, the prince's Royal Highness's welcome banquet was to be attended by all the princesses. Princess Pingyang was waiting for the prince to come at the door early --
"my sister met the prince, how was your rest yesterday?"
As soon as the prince got out of the carriage, Princess Pingyang said hello. The crown prince said: "thank you A-Mei for your concern. However, because of the two matters of mind that have not been reached, it is not good to have a rest."
Pingyang Princess expression unchanged, only lip line slightly pursed straight a few minutes, did not say a word. The prince turned his head and looked at Pingyang princess with burning eyes: "why does A-Mei say nothing?"
Princess Pingyang said, "my sister has nothing to say."
The crown prince said, "A-Mei said to me yesterday that I am the eldest son of the sage. It's natural for the crown prince. I think A-Mei supports me!"
Pingyang Princess refused to let go, and looked directly at the prince and said, "therefore, the prince has no scruple to make people buy off my men! If you can't buy it, do you want to ask someone in person? "
The prince was a little uneasy to avoid the Pingyang princess's eyes, as if he could see through everything, and said, "my sister is going back to Chang'an. If you really value Ye Qing and Xue Lang, you should make plans for them as soon as possible."
Princess Pingyang was not annoyed, but looked at each other coldly: "a scholar, amiable but not robbed, near but not forced, killed but not humiliated!"
The crown prince one smothers, blushes: "is for the elder brother love talented person earnestly, the consideration is not thorough, the younger sister forgives."
Pingyang princess only said a light: "dare not! A banquet has been prepared in the mansion. The prince will invite him. "
The prince walked ahead, and Princess Pingyang fell behind two steps and went into the princess's mansion together.
Not only Xue Lang but also Jiang Lin will attend the banquet. The banquet was held in the afternoon. Before leaving, Xue Lang told wintersweet: "close the window of my bedroom in a moment. Be careful when closing the window. Don't touch my potted plants."
"Well, I don't have to worry about it. Please don't worry about it."
Xue Lang nodded, and then he dressed up and went to the banquet.
Xue Lang arrived not too early or too late. When he arrived, neither the prince nor the princess had arrived. Aunt Fang was directing the servants to set up wine -
this is the wine that is treasured in the mansion, not made by Xue Lang. Since the Prince did not mention it, Xue Lang did not intend to recommend himself.
After a while, people came one after another, and aunt Fang also instructed people to prepare for the banquet. The civil and military officials stood on the left and right sides, waiting together to greet the prince and the princess.
"The prince brings Princess Pingyang of Anguo to come!"
"I have met the prince and Princess Pingyang of Anguo."
Han Jin took the lead and saluted the prince and Princess Pingyang. With a smile on his face, the prince raised his hand: "you are welcome. I am very happy to have a banquet with you today. Come on, everyone will sit down and hope that you will not be restrained, have a good drink and share the joy."
They saluted: "thank you, your highness."
Princess Pingyang stood so cold and said nothing. Compared with the prince, it seems that the prince is the master. Xue Lang quietly looked up at the princess Pingyang, at her cool brow, and at the smiling prince, is it because he is too thoughtful?
Xue Lang then restrained his mind and sat down on his own seat -
as the crown prince was high, he naturally took the lead. The second seat was Princess Pingyang, and then the subordinates brought by the prince, and then the officials of the princess mansion. In such a row, Xue Lang directly backed back several seats.
Seeing this, the crown prince said, "you are the Duke of the county. You should be under Pingyang."
As soon as the words came out, not only a group of subordinates of Princess mansion, but also Princess Pingyang looked at Xue Lang. Xue Lang called out a lying trough in his heart, bowed down and said, "thank you for your attention. However, in Weize pass, there is only the consultation of the princess's house, and there is no magistrate. That's where I should sit. The crown prince values his subordinates' wishes and his subordinates' understanding. However, there are differences between public and private affairs, and there is a saying that he should come first. How dare Xue Lang go beyond this and be rude to this point! "
The crown prince said, "I know that Youyang is a man of both talent and morality. However, today is a private banquet, and it would be better if you were free. Hearing that Youyang was good at drinking, he sat down and drank with the king
Xue Lang didn't like it in his heart, so he had to refuse. Princess Pingyang: "Youyang, since the crown prince has invited you, you don't have to salute any more and come and sit down."
Seeing Princess Pingyang speak, Xue Lang moved his steps and changed his seat to Wei Zheng. The seat is even higher than Han Jin, the long history capital.
When Xue Lang changed his seat, the crown prince raised his glass and said in a loud voice, "today's banquet is both a welcome banquet and a farewell banquet for the solitary king. Due to the busy business, the solitary king will leave weizeguan tomorrow. I am very happy to have a drink with you today. Come on, everyone can drink this cup!"
"Please, Prince!" they all said
After a toast, the crown prince said, "all of you are officials of Princess Pingyang's mansion. Pingyang is my sister-in-law of one of my mother's compatriots. In the past, thanks for your help. I, the eldest brother, should thank you all. Here, have another drink!"
Han Jinggong said: "no, I dare not. This is the duty of the ministers. Please, Prince!"
The crowd immediately followed: "prince, please."
"Please!"After drinking two cups in a row, Princess Pingyang was still in a state of injury. She could not drink wine. She only carried a cup of tea and replaced wine with tea. She dealt with two cups.
After drinking two cups of wine with the people, the prince said with a smile: "the water wine has already been drunk for two times. You should also have some food and vegetables, so as not to hurt your health. Please."
"Prince, please."
Xue Lang looks at Princess Pingyang quietly, looks at her calm expression, and then looks at the smiling prince, who is good at dancing, and his fists hidden in the case. He can't help but clench his fist --
Prince Jiancheng is the elder brother of Princess Pingyang. He is the prince, but his grade is higher than that of Pingyang princess. It's true that the banquet should be the first place to sit. However, since the beginning of the banquet, he has been relying on the title of being both the prince and the elder brother, taking himself as the master, so as not to pay attention to Princess Pingyang Xue Lang felt uncomfortable in his heart!
His beloved Princess, his devoted boss, and sincere friend were treated like this.
Xue Lang looked at the prince in a dim and obscure way, without a smile on his face, but a serious look on his face. His eyes swept through the crowd. Dong Sima, who was drinking with the prince, was still smiling respectfully. Han Jin was as straight as he was, and Jiang Lin was the same. Ma Sanbao had a faint smile on his mouth, and Ye Qing was still playing cards. He couldn't see what he was thinking.
"You Yang."
The prince called him. Xue Lang's rigid way: "I don't know what your Highness has to say?"
As soon as the prince laughed, he said jokingly, "Youyang, you are too stubborn. A-Mei is silent. You should adhere to the principle of changing seats. It's really boring. Today's banquet is a private banquet. Why is Youyang so serious? It's said that Youyang is good at drinking. It's a private feast. You should have a good drink. There's no need to be so restrained. I want to drink with Youyang today. Do you need my sister's order? "
As soon as she said this, Princess Pingyang looked directly at the prince. Just as she was about to speak, she saw Xue Lang clasping her fist and saluting: "back to the prince, although Xue Lang is not talented, she knows the word loyalty and righteousness. Xue Lang worked in the princess's mansion. Princess Pingyang of Anguo is my Lord. It's the duty of my subordinates to obey the orders of the Lord. I dare not disobey them. "
The prince clapped his hands and said, "You Yang is indeed a man of both ability and morality. Pingyang is not wrong about people. However, such talents are limited to the princess's residence. It's a pity that Pingyang will return to Chang'an. After Youyang returns to Chang'an, I will ask the sage to transfer Youyang to my east palace. "
Princess Pingyang held the tea cup hand for a meal. Her expression on her face remained unchanged. She sat quietly as if she were a beautiful doll, saying nothing.
Xue Lang was very tired of it. He just said calmly: "thank you for your attention. The so-called plan for politics in his position. Today's work will be finished today, and the next day's work will be done I'll talk about it later. Princess Pingyang has great kindness to me. Although Xue Lang is not talented, he dare not forget the word "kindness and righteousness."
The crown prince laughed two times: "You Yang is a good character, so it's better to be clear about it!"
"No, thank you very much. I'd like to do it first."
Xue Lang held up his glass and dried it with a bang. The prince took a sip and said with a smile, "good wine capacity. You Yang is good at drinking. You really deserve the reputation."
Xue Lang said, "the crown prince flatters you just because you like the things in the cup. It's hard to get into the hall of elegance. The lower minister is clumsy in mouth and can't speak. Everything is in the cup. I'd like to toast the crown prince again
"Good! This is a drink. "
The prince had a drink with him.
"Your Highness
As soon as the prince put down his glass, he met Dong Sima with a flattering smile. Dong Sima respectfully said: "the crown prince led the army to pacify Liu Hei Kai. He managed the army well. He was respected by his humble position. There was no way to express his admiration. Only a cup of water and wine was to congratulate the crown prince for his great contributions to the Tang Dynasty. It is respectful for him to do his duty first."
The smile on Prince Jiancheng's face became more and more prosperous. It seemed that Dong Sima was pleased with him. After a drink with Dong Sima, he talked with him freely.
Xue Lang scolded a lie trough in the heart, but quietly relieved.
