Ying Qian looked at the armor-clad warrior behind him, and his eyes were filled with words. The man woke up and immediately handed over his hand to do the work.

Ying Ji and his people seemed not to be aware of the private turmoil among Ying Qian and his group. He leisurely led all his generals to sit down, and a banquet was also arranged for Lord Mengchang, who was sitting at Ying Ji's side.

's left hand side.

Now, Ying Qian and all the ministers in the court are sitting above. On the left are Ying Ji and Ji Ying, and on the right are Mengchang Jun and others. The three sides form a left and right bracket on the second floor of Tianxiang Pavilion. Originally, the second floor was planned as the left and right halls.

, now a group of people gathered in one hall, so they removed the partitions and combined the right hall and the left hall into one, so the entire accommodation space was much wider, and this group of people could also sit down.

"I came here tonight for Ruyi Ji, but unfortunately I was delayed on the road and came late. I didn't get to see Wu, who was rumored to be worth a lot of money. What a pity." Mengchang Jun sighed with a smile as the entourage on his left and right looked regretful.

The previous Lord Mengchang didn't even notice that the sister-in-law who was standing among a group of tall and strong warriors, wearing a men's thick and long cloak, was the famous Ruyi Concubine of Ruyifang.

A man who fell into the water was rescued from somewhere.

After all, the peerless grace that a well-known beauty should possess has long been turned into a drowned rat by the cold lake water. Not to mention, she is inconspicuous and looks a little embarrassed.

Hearing this, Ying Qian looked at Mr. Mengchang. The two parties had just exchanged greetings, but now that they were sitting down, the conversation was not very particular.

He said: "Hahaha, what's the pity? Wasn't this person invited up by our eldest brother? Just now she accidentally fell into the water, and now she went to change clothes. After a while, someone came. As long as the eldest brother speaks, let that person

It’s not difficult for Ruyi to dance a song in front of everyone, isn’t it?”

"Oh..." Mr. Mengchang looked at Ying Ji slowly, the meaning of the smile hanging on his lips was unclear.

Ying Ji said indifferently: "It's okay."

This is promised.

When Mengchang Jun heard this, a smile filled his lips: "It's thanks to the eldest son's breeze that we can enjoy the dance of Ruyi Ji nearby."

"Not only this Ruyi Ji, but also the new beauty that eldest brother has acquired is also the mainstay of Ruyi Square. Especially when she appeared today, she played Xun music, sang songs and danced at the same time. It was simply amazing.

Sifang, if Mr. Mengchang is interested, you can also ask my elder brother to let her perform again." Ying Qian looked at "Xiang Girl" with admiration on his face, but it was unclear what he was thinking in his heart.

After hearing Ying Qian's words, Lord Mengchang also moved his gaze to Chen Baiqi, who was sitting quietly behind Ying Ji with his eyebrows lowered, with a look of "confusion" and curiosity on his face: "I wonder who this person is next to Mr. Zi Ji?"

The whispers between him and Chen Baiqi just now were so quiet that no one knew about it. Although some people heard what Chen Baiqi said to him, the content was vague. Therefore, some of them didn't know the specific things that happened downstairs just now, and some of them didn't know what happened downstairs just now.

After understanding the situation, I just thought that Mengchang Jun's current question meant that he didn't know this "Hunan girl" and that the two of them were just having fun.

Ying Qian thought that Lord Mengchang was not from the Qin State and did not often come to Xianyang City to play, so he probably did not know about "Xiang Girl".

"This Hunan girl from Ruyifang is known as the Crying Parrot. I didn't know her before, but today I discovered that not only is she good at singing, but she also has outstanding skills in other aspects." Ying Qian introduced to him enthusiastically.

When Mengchang Jun heard this, he said a long "oh" again, with a sultry ending, which gave people a strange feeling.

Chen Baiqi sat as steady as a mountain, only glanced at him midway, and then lowered his eyes, looking like "a dead pig is not afraid of boiling water."

Sure enough, he didn't know this "Hunan girl", so he was probably telling her that "we haven't seen each other for several months", but she couldn't figure out how he could be sure that she was "Chen" right away.

"Rong"?

In the past few days, her figure has grown taller and plumper. She is not as thin as she was a few months ago. There are naturally some changes compared to before. He didn't look at her face correctly. She was really

I don’t know where he got the confidence to be so sure.

In front of them, Ying Qian and Meng Changjun were chatting happily, as if the discussion about the beautiful lady's dance performance was already settled, but unexpectedly, Ying Ji's deep, deep, but unarguable voice came out: "The Hunan girls will not perform tonight."

The previously high-spirited guests suddenly fell silent, and the atmosphere was a little weird. I couldn't laugh or get angry, and I could only feel inexplicably embarrassed.

Ji Ying immediately smiled and said: "What the eldest son means is that this Hunan girl is in trouble tonight. She was frightened. First she almost fell into the water, and then she fell downstairs. Although she was lucky enough to be rescued, this girl's family has always been

She is delicate and vulnerable to heart disease, so the eldest son must be considerate of her."

Here, there are the ministers of the Qin State and some children of the local noble families. They are proud and arrogant and are dissatisfied with the loss of face due to Ying Ji. After hearing this, look at the lowered head, slender neck, and body of the "Hunan Girl".

Her appearance was as bright as the moon, and she could understand why the always hard-hearted Gongzi Ji felt pity for her.

Only Mengchang Jun used his actions while drinking to hide the sarcasm and coldness in his mouth.

Recently, people inside and outside Xianyang City are talking about the various romantic affairs between Ying Ji and Ruyi Ji. Although Mengchang Jun rarely leaves the house, he has heard about it, but just now Ruyi Ji fell into the cold lake, and Ying Ji did not reject it.

In response to Ying Qian's request, when he mentioned this "Hunan girl", he hid it as if he had picked up a treasure and was unwilling to show it.

"But I think this Hunan girl seems to be fine. In this case, why not let the Hunan girl make the decision, what if she is willing to perform for everyone?" Mengchang Jun looked at Chen Baiqi, put the wine glass on the table, and acted friendly and hypocritical.

He asked: "I wonder if Xiangnu would like to perform a song for you?"

Before Yingji could show up, Chen Baiqi had already stood up on her knees. She bowed to Lord Mengchang first, with a decent attitude and decent behavior. Just when everyone thought she would accept the offer to settle the matter, they heard her simply say: "Xiang girl, don't you?"

willing."

Everyone was dumbfounded. Mengchang Jun looked down coldly, but the smile on his face became even brighter.

"Why, is it possible that Xiangnu intends to be happy only for Gongziji from now on?"

Seeing from the corner of his eye that he was smiling so charmingly, Chen Baiqi furrowed his teeth secretly and said again: "Please listen to the Xiang girl, Mr. Mengchang. Although the Xiang girl is unwilling, but the Xiang girl was in danger before and was saved by Mengchang Jun, Mengchang Jun is equivalent to the Xiang girl."

If the benefactor asks for it, the Hunan girl will dance a solo for her benefactor. No matter at this moment...or even more quietly in private, the Hunan girl will never express her unwillingness."

When the people who had been refused to come to the stage heard this, they immediately started uproaring and enthusiastically persuaded Mengchangjun to let her perform in public.

Chen Baiqi remained silent and just looked at him with calm eyes.

The noise in his ears could not sway Mr. Mengchang. He tapped the table with his fingertips, raised his eyes, curled his lips and said, "Let's do it in private."

Chen Baiqi was not surprised by this result.

The two of them still had a large "account", so naturally he would not choose to settle it in public.

The others were suffocated when they heard the words, and thought to themselves - You, Mengchang Lord, are too stingy. You just want to repay the kindness, but being happy alone is not as good as everyone. He has lived for such a long time, is it possible?

don't know?

And it was not just a day or two that Mengchang Jun was criticized in private. He had already developed a body of iron skin and bronze bones. He said calmly and contentedly: "Remember what you said."

Chen Bai nodded.

After he was dismissed as the troublemaker, he sat down again.

Ying Ji looked forward, straightened his back, and whispered: "You and Mr. Mengchang... know each other?"

Chen Baiqi thought for a while and said, "I don't remember."

When Ying Ji heard this, he remained silent, but the previous depression was relieved.

Ji Ying, who was sitting nearby and could barely hear the two talking, couldn't help but roll his eyes elegantly at Ying Ji.

Eldest Young Master, she is definitely answering the wrong question. Do they have any contact in private? Do they know each other? She didn't tell you at all, okay?

She dismissed you so simply with a casual remark, and you still felt satisfied. Where had all your shrewdness, deep knowledge, and subtlety in the past gone? Was it swallowed up by a dog?

That's all, it's all a trivial matter. Whether they recognize it or not, they still need to get this Lord Mengchang at the moment. It's not good to dwell on this matter too much. It would be best if the eldest son can let it go.

"This invitation is worse than a chance encounter. It's rare to meet so many colleagues in one place today. It just so happens that Lord Mengchang came to Qin as a guest. Why don't we have a drinking party and make it lively." Ji Ying clapped his hands and welcomed everyone attracted attention.

It is rare to meet a person with high emotional intelligence, understanding of people affairs, high position and authority, who can liven up an awkward and dull atmosphere and come out to preside over the overall situation. Many people responded on the spot and gave him face.

"Since everyone agrees, I'll start, but... I don't know who should go first?" Ji Ying looked around and tapped his temples, seeming a little troubled.

Generally, the drinking order starts with the person with the most distinguished status, or the person who gives the order. Currently, the person with the highest position is Ying Qian, who is the master. However, Ying Ji is the eldest son of the Qin State. Under the premise that Qin Mugong has not explicitly established a prince,

Naturally, there is order between elder and younger.

Both of them are Lord, so who should start?

Ji Ying just wanted to see how they would sing this play.

"Since it's a drinking ceremony, we naturally have to play something elegant. I think the eldest son has been outside the Great Wall for a long time, and I'm afraid he has almost forgotten the rules of drinking in Xianyang City. Why not start with the second young master and set an example for the eldest son.

"One minister suggested with a look of "concern for the country and the people"

Bah, what a hypocritical thing! The generals behind Gongzi Ji shot out their fierce eyes in an instant. The minister was so intimidating that he was so frightened that most of the wine in his hand was spilled. Hurry up.

He buried his head and didn't dare to say anything anymore.

Another minister, who believed in the Qingliu faction and would rather die than surrender, still said in vain: "Yes, Young Master Ji has just arrived, so it is natural that the Second Young Master should be the host."

Each of them metaphorized Gong Ziji as a country bumpkin in a barbaric land. When he came back to Xianyang City, he was just a country bumpkin who came to the city as a guest. The man who is the master of the family is Ying Qian.

Chen Baiqi heard that these literati played word games with swords and swords. They belittled Yingji, who had military power, and they were really out of their minds.

Ji Ying observed the court ministers who spoke in agreement, and wrote down their names one by one, and compiled them into the dark booklet in his heart. On the outside, he looked generous, looked at Ying Qian with a smile, and asked in a soft voice.

Said: "I wonder what Mr. Qian said?"

Young Master Qian glanced at Ying Ji, wanting to see if he was angry or angry at being spoken to like this by the officials of Qin State, but he couldn't tell anything from his face, which was colder than a stone, even if he looked left and right.

Emotions come.

He looked away, bowed his hands to everyone present with an embarrassed look on his face, and said hesitantly: "Since everyone has said so..."

"Let's start with the eldest young master." Suddenly a steady voice interrupted Young Master Qian.

Young Master Qian was startled for a moment, then looked at the doctor in the lower seat with surprise, and said in a low voice: "Sudden Master..."

Sue had been Gongzi Qian's teacher for a period of time, so Gongzi Qian always called him Sue's teacher.

Suddenly E stood up, bowed to Young Master Ji, and said decisively: "Your Majesty, please."

As soon as Master Sue saw Sue's tough attitude, he knew that whatever he said now was useless. However, although he was annoyed, Sue had always defended him. Now that he was doing this, he couldn't refute, so he kept a dark face and remained silent.

And just now everyone else also fell silent.
