Chapter 251 The Subtle Atmosphere at the Dinner Table
After Ran Ke returned to the east wing, he immediately complained about the matter to Fan Hua.
After hearing this, the three people had different reactions.
Shi Jin spoke first, with a hint of teasing and regret in his tone: "I thought you two could become friends..."
One of them is Sleeping Dragon and the other is Phoenix Chick, they must have met each other too late.
Fan Hua: “…”
Fan Hua was speechless, but he could imagine how noisy the scene would be when these two were together.
Luo Yi said with a bit of resentment in his tone: "Who told you to wander around just after arriving at my house? This is not in the pavilion. Isn't it normal for people to suspect you?"
He glanced around and saw Ran Ke in the room, and a hint of understanding flashed in his eyes.
He noticed the familiar atmosphere among the people, and his doubts about Ran Ke's identity immediately dissipated.
He turned to look at Shi Jin, with a kind smile on his face, and said, "You came back just in time, in time for your cousin's family recognition party."
As he spoke, he raised his hand and patted Fanhua's shoulder.
Fan Hua moved his shoulders slightly to avoid the hand. Li Muci curled his lips and withdrew his hand.
When Shi Jin heard the word "cousin", his eyebrows raised slightly, and a playful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
She joked, "Yeah, I came back on time."
After Li Muci noticed Luo Yi, he asked with a smile in his eyes: "Who is this girl?"
Shi Jin introduced cleverly: "Luo Yi, my friend."
He turned and pointed at Ran Ke: "This is Ran Ke, you should have met him before."
Upon hearing this, Li Muci and Ran Ke's eyes met instantly, as if they were stabbing each other with a knife, and the air around them seemed to be sparking.
After a moment, Ran Ke showed no fear and started the "taunting mode" by getting close to his face.
"Master, I feel that the security of the Yunbo Marquis's mansion is not very good. It seems that anyone can sneak in. The people in the mansion have to be on guard at all times. Otherwise, how about I set up a few traps here to prevent it?"
Fan Hua hadn't responded yet, but Li Muci frowned when facing Ran Ke's crickets in front of him.
He immediately said, "Hey, I'm still here! It's not too late to talk to you after I leave."
Li Muci heard the sarcasm in Ran Ke's words and knew that the other party was still resentful of his previous suspicion of him.
Fan Hua: "If you two are angry, you can go out and have a fight to cool off before coming back."
As soon as this statement came out, everyone had questions on their faces.
Generally people try to persuade people to reconcile, not to stop a fight.
Li Muci glanced at Ran Ke, a hint of inquiry and thought flashing in his eyes.
Those who come out of Fengyun Pavilion are all tough guys. It is not advisable to take action since you don't know their background.
Li Muci's attitude changed, he smiled, and immediately stepped forward, put his arm around Ran's shoulder and said, "Brother Ran, I apologize for offending you before. So tomorrow I will take you around Kyoto, eat, drink and have fun. I promise to let you have fun. This will be your apology."
As soon as the name "Brother Ran" came out, Ran Ke's face was full of complicated expressions, first surprise, then disgust.
He felt helpless and speechless facing the prince who was so enthusiastic that he was crazy.
This was the first time I met someone who was thicker-skinned than me, and I seemed much more thin-skinned in front of him.
He gently brushed Li Muci's hand away, forced a smile, and there was a hint of cunning in his eyes.
"My Lord, I appreciate your kindness. What happened before is in the past. You and I are the same age. If you call me your younger brother, I will feel a little disadvantaged. It is better to just call me Ran Ke."
Li Muci had a faint smile on his face, as if he didn't realize the deeper meaning.
He responded seriously: "No, it sounds very friendly."
"I see. How about I call the prince Li Pihou? It sounds very intimate."
When Ran Ke spoke, his eyes were innocent, but the teasing in his words was obvious to everyone.
"Puchi~" Shi Jin couldn't help but laugh.
The energetic look of these two people is very interesting to see.
She had been able to suppress her laughter during the previous game, but when she heard the pun "李皮后", her smile was completely broken.
"Sorry, I just thought of something interesting."
Shi Jin tried to suppress her smile, but found it harder to suppress than AK, so she had to lean her against Fan Hua's chest to hide her gaffe.
Seeing this, Fan Hua looked helpless. He had no choice but to reach out and cover Shi Jin's ears, and whispered, "It's very noisy."
"Don't quarrel, this is the source of happiness."
Luo Yi showed no emotion on his face, but he felt disgusted in his heart.
What I see before me are two childish little brats pecking at each other, and they won't stop until the winner is decided.
Li Muci raised his eyebrows slightly, thinking to himself: Hmm? Thick-skinned? This person is actually saying that I am thick-skinned in disguise!
Returning to today's situation, he seems to have met his match.
Li Muci smiled and compromised, "Ran Ke, this is a good name, I'll still call you that!"
"Your Majesty, you are too kind." A barely perceptible smug smile appeared on his face.
Not long after, Shi Jin went back to the general's mansion to visit his father Shi Wei, as he had not seen him for a long time.
When Shi Wei saw his daughter returning, he was overjoyed and insisted on holding a banquet to welcome her.
Since Shi Jin was having dinner at the general's residence, Fan Hua would naturally accompany him.
Luo Yi, Ran Ke, Zhi Lu and others also went there.
For a moment, the Yunbohou Mansion seemed much quieter due to the departure of this group of people, which made people feel a little uncomfortable.
Meanwhile, at the general's residence, everyone was sitting around the banquet, making it quite lively.
At the dinner table, in addition to the Shi father and son, Shi Jin and Fan Hua, the four deans of Fengyun Pavilion, Xu Ruogu and Zhilu were also seated.
At first, everyone was talking happily, the atmosphere was harmonious and relaxed, and laughter continued to echo around the table.
However, at this time of joy, the Holy King arrived.
As soon as he appeared, the originally cheerful atmosphere instantly became solemn.
Shi Wei's smile froze on his face, and there was a hint of confusion in his eyes.
Didn't you say you couldn't come? What was the purpose of this sudden visit?
The moment Shi Jin saw King Shengqing, she felt inexplicably nervous and restrained, like a daughter-in-law meeting her parents-in-law for the first time.
She looked at King Shengqing quietly and pondered in her heart.
She finally understood why Fanhua was so handsome. With such good-looking parents, it would be hard for him to be ugly.
The Holy King did not come here before because he had some concerns in his heart.
He had been alone for a long time, and suddenly he had a son and a daughter-in-law. While he was happy, he also felt a little helpless and bewildered, not knowing how to get along with them.
After deciding not to go, he regretted it.
He thought that if he acted like this, it would inevitably give people the illusion that he was dissatisfied with his daughter-in-law, but this was neither reasonable nor justifiable. After all, this was a formal meeting between him and his daughter-in-law, and due respect and etiquette were inevitable.
So he hurriedly instructed his servants to carefully select many precious gifts. The preparations took some time, so he was late.
Coming here at this moment, I felt even more uncomfortable with the slightly awkward atmosphere.
He didn't expect there would be so many people dining together.
Sensing the subtle atmosphere at the table, the Holy King said, "Don't be shy, everyone. I just happened to be passing by and came to check it out."
After saying this, he slowly glanced at the crowd, trying to ease the solemn atmosphere with a smile.
At that time, the servants behind him were holding large and small packages of gifts and said with a smile:
"Since Your Majesty is here, why bring such a small gift? Take a seat quickly."
With such thorough preparation, how could he have just happened to pass by?
Shi Wei saw through it but didn't say anything, with a polite smile on his face.
Shi Wei immediately stood up and, with a smile on his face, found an empty seat near himself for King Shengqing.
At the same time, he signaled to everyone with his eyes, trying to ease the solemn atmosphere.
"It is an honor for our General's Mansion that the Holy Lord has come."
Shi Sheng also hurriedly followed suit with polite exchanges to warm up the atmosphere, his words full of respect, trying to warm up the atmosphere as quickly as possible.
Shi Jin and Fan Hua both smiled.
The rest of the people just watched silently, but they had some doubts and inquiries about the Holy King in their hearts.
Shi Wei pointed at the golden and fragrant fried chicken on the plate and introduced it to King Shengqing: "Your Majesty, this fried chicken is a unique dish of our General's Mansion. It is a dish carefully developed by my daughter. Please try it."
After saying this, he looked at Shi Jin with eyes full of undisguised pride and pride.
The Holy King nodded slightly and said, "Okay."
Then, under the expectant or curious gazes of the crowd, he slowly stretched out his chopsticks, picked up a chicken wing and put it into his mouth.
After a moment, a look of approval appeared on his face: "It's crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, it's really good."
After that, he looked up at Shi Jin again, with a look that was hard to describe, and uttered two words again: "Not bad."
He looked as if he wanted to praise his daughter-in-law, but because of the occasion and his status, it seemed a little awkward, making it hard to tell whether he was praising the delicious fried chicken or praising Shi Jin for her intelligence and ability.
Shi Jin raised the corners of his mouth, revealing a faint smile in response.
After a while, everyone started to pick up food with their chopsticks, and the solemn atmosphere quietly dissipated.
When many people dine together, the food tastes especially delicious.
Just when everyone was enjoying their meal, Ran Ke and Xu Ruogu happened to take a liking to the same fried chicken leg at the same time.
They both raised their chopsticks at the same time, and the chopsticks jolted slightly on the plate.
Ran Ke reacted quickly, consciously let go of the chopsticks, gave the chicken leg to Xu Ruogu, and picked up another one.
Xu Ruogu contentedly put the chicken leg into his bowl and started eating with a smile on his face.
Luo Yi sat a little far from the fried chicken. Shi Sheng, who was sitting next to her, saw it and considerately put a piece into her bowl, whispering, "Try it too."
Luo Yi glanced at the chicken drumstick in the bowl with some embarrassment, and with a slight curl of his lips, he said appreciatively: "I have hands, I can pick up food by myself."
Du Xuan has always been careful by nature. When he saw Zhilu staring at the fried chicken with greed in her eyes but not daring to pick one, he picked up a piece for her without making a sound.
Zhilu looked at the fried chicken in the bowl with joy in her eyes. After thanking Du Xuan, she began to eat shyly.
Fan Hua sat aside, taking in all the scenes, raising his eyebrows slightly, as if he found it quite interesting.
Shi Jin curled the corners of his mouth slightly and met his eyes, and they understood each other.
Ran Ke saw the actions of these people and felt an inexplicable feeling in his heart.
These people seemed to have families with them, and only he and Yunchuan felt isolated.
So he turned his gaze to Yunchuan, but saw that Yunchuan looked as if it had nothing to do with him. He just ate quietly, as if he was oblivious to everything around him.
Ran Ke felt more and more upset, so he simply buried his head in eating, hoping that out of sight, he could just ignore it.
At this time, Shi Wei and Shengqing Wang were immersed in toasting and chatting happily, and did not notice the subtle interaction between these young people at all.
