On the queen mother's birthday, everything was naturally arranged properly, and the candles in the palace were lit, making the palace look more resplendent.

Rows of seats were set up and arranged according to their official positions. As soon as the officials came in, the young eunuchs ushered them in with a friendly smile and led them to sit in their seats.

Wang Yong is here.

He still had a dead face, as if everyone owed him money, he walked in calmly, followed by only a young man.

It was Zhao Longkong who fought Qinglong not long ago.

The Empress stood up to greet her with a smile on her face.

"Welcome the Hussar General."

Wang Yong's status is extraordinary. After coming here, it was actually Nan Gongjing who received him personally and led him to the second position on the right next to the main seat.

As for the first position, of course it is reserved for Ji Wuchen.

After all, in terms of rank, the first-rank super military general, General Tiance, is half over the second-rank Hussar General.

Wang Yong made a half salute.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Sitting in the second seat, he has no problem.

Unexpectedly, just as Wang Yong was about to sit down, an old eunuch with gray hair hurriedly stopped him.

"Wait! General Hussars, you can't sit here! Ouch! How can your old man take the second seat? You should sit here!"

The old eunuch was full of flattery, and walked quickly, leading Wang Yong to the first position on the right side of the chief seat.

This place should originally belong to Ji Wuchen.

Wang Yong paused for a moment.

He glanced at the old eunuch meaningfully, didn't say much, and took the opportunity to sit in the first place.

The smile on Nangong Jing's face froze.

This old eunuch, she remembered, was once a confidant of the Empress Dowager and served in the court for decades.

The master had to live in seclusion, and the slave also lost power.

Even so, when many eunuchs in the palace saw him, they had to call out their ancestors.

"Eunuch Yu, this..."

Wang Yong had already sat down, Nan Gongjing naturally couldn't say anything more, so he just frowned and looked at Yu Hai.

Yu Hai smiled at the empress, his face wrinkled into a big chrysanthemum.

"Your Majesty, this is what the Empress Dowager meant, and the old slave just obeyed."

Nangong Jing was a little displeased, but he couldn't say more.

Do you want Wang Yong to stand up again?

The queen mother and Ji Wuchen should have never met, why did she take the initiative to target Ji Wuchen?Or, was she purely trying to please Wang Yong?
Yu Hai was smiling all the time, standing between Wang Yong and Nangong Jing, his figure never retreated half a centimeter.

A few more high-ranking officials walked in, the empress sighed lightly, turned and returned to her seat.

She couldn't stand all the time, and she had to maintain the majesty of the emperor.

Not long after, Li Zhonglian brought Li Wenxing over.

The old grand master had kind eyebrows and kind eyes, and he always smiled when he saw everyone. Nan Gongjing stood up to greet him, and Yu Hai also approached him with a charming smile, and led him to the chief seat on the left side.

When he saw Wang Yong sitting on the right, the old fox raised his eyebrows.

The guests were like a cloud, and the people coming and going were getting bigger and bigger, and the scale was already comparable to Li Zhonglian's birthday last time.

Although there were a lot of people, the atmosphere seemed a little dull, not as lively as expected.

"Hey, why hasn't my master come yet?"

Li Wenxing was bored.

Naturally, there is no seat for him on this kind of occasion, which made him bored, and he felt that it was not as interesting as Yunyan Tower.

Li Zhonglian sipped the tea lightly.

During this time, he had already heard about the matter between Li Wenxing and Ji Wuchen.

Regarding this, he didn't say much, and he was not very interested. Instead, he paid more attention to Ji Wuchen's previous lectures at Haoran Academy, and personally read the work written by others to record his courses.

"Don't worry, your master is famous for being late. It's not uncommon to be late even for court, military exercises, and my birthday."

Li Wenxing was stunned.

"Is he always the last to arrive?"

Li Zhonglian noticed something, put down the cup, turned to stare at him.

For this grandson, the old fox still cared a lot, and after a little thought, he knew what this kid was thinking.

Sure enough, Li Wenxing's eyes were bright, and he felt that he had vaguely learned something precious from Ji Wuchen.

Not long after, Ji Wuchen also came.

This time, he did not bring Mu Baifan and Suzaku, but only Fu An.

There is no way, if you only bring Mu Baifan without Suzaku, Suzaku will be jealous, and it's not good to bring them together. Others only bring one servant to this kind of banquet.

Suzaku wouldn't make a fuss if she was jealous, so she just looked at the master resentfully, ready to cry, as pitiful as she could be.

After much deliberation, it is more convenient to bring Fu'an, no one will make trouble, and no one is allowed to be jealous.

Nangong Jing had been secretly watching, and when he saw Ji Wuchen coming, he hesitated whether to go up to greet her.

"Your Majesty! Brother Wuchen is here! Brother Wuchen is here!"

Jing'er's eyes were sharp, seeing Ji Wuchen walk in, she hastily shook Nangong Jing lightly, making the latter a little ashamed, and glared at this unreserved little girl.

"When it comes, it comes!"

The Empress let out a low snort.

She was still hesitating, but when Jing'er disturbed her like this, she felt embarrassed to step forward.

Jing'er had no choice but to give up, feeling a little wronged.

"Brother Wuchen is already angry, and if you don't coax him, what if he runs away..."

Nangong Jing gently pinched Jing'er without a trace, and gritted her teeth.

Talking like I'm very rare... How can I take the initiative to find him!That damn guy dared to refuse my invitation, he should let him realize his mistake.

Ji Wuchen was wearing a snow-white dress today, without a knife around his waist, instead he had put on a jade fan. He was personable, elegant, and handsome. ... dandy.

Li Wenxing's eyes lit up when he saw this appearance, he secretly remembered Ji Wuchen's outfit, and thought about getting a set that was exactly the same when he went back.

"General Tiance, this way please, your seat is here."

Watching Ji Wuchen walk in, a skinny eunuch immediately introduced him attentively.

With a gentle smile on his face, Ji Wuchen followed him.

That's right, as expected of a professional eunuch in the palace, receiving people feels like spring breeze.

However, the smile on his face froze quickly.

Because, the place the eunuch took him to was at the very end, close to the gate, and half a step outside, he could sit outside in the sun and rain, eat and sleep in the wind.

Ji Wuchen's smile faded away, his face became gloomy, and a gleam of coldness flashed in his eyes.

This position is too far back, it has reached an unreasonable level, a full four or five meters away from the front seat, obviously deliberately insulting him.

"My eyelids twitched when I went out today. Sure enough, I encountered something troublesome. What, is it just a show of power?"

He pulled out the jade fan at his waist and opened it with a bang.

Seeing Ji Wuchen's ugly face, the little eunuch didn't move away from his seat, squinting and smiling.

"Please take your seat, General."

Many people at the banquet noticed this place and all cast their gazes, and the place fell into a brief silence.

Yu Hai saw it from a long distance away, and walked over with staggering steps, pretending to be majestic: "What happened?"

The skinny eunuch saluted Yu Hai with a helpless expression on his face.

"Old ancestor, General Tiance is not willing to sit down."
