Zhi Xuan

The banquet held by Marquis Nishihara was surprisingly calm.

Zhixuan originally thought that the Mi family and the Yang family would continue to fight each other, but unexpectedly, the two sides quieted down at the same time, pretending to be hello, me, everyone, as if it was an illusion that you came and I went tit for tat before.

Marquis Xiyuan praised Zhixuan greatly at the banquet, and everyone agreed with him one after another. Young Master Kang's face was gloomy. If he hadn't reminded him before the secret martial arts banquet, he might not be able to suppress his temper.

"I don't dare to take credit for it, it all depends on the majesty of the king! My army has passed by, and Di Rong is terrified when he hears the news!"

Zhi Xuan held up the wine cup to respect the Marquis of Xiyuan.

Marquis Xiyuan laughed loudly and drank the wine in one gulp.All the ministers spoke one after another, mentioning the salute to the Marquis of Bei'an, and praising the bravery of the monarch.

Seeing that the focus of the topic returned to Marquis Xiyuan, Zhi Xuan secretly heaved a sigh of relief, and sat back in his seat.

The banquet adopts a meal-sharing system, and the dishes are arranged in front of Zhixuan according to the etiquette, grilled, stewed and cooked. In addition to the common beef, mutton and pork, there are also wild animals such as wild geese, deer and wolves.

In addition to meat, there are as many as ten kinds of pickled vegetables, among which two or three are the first time Zhixuan eats, the taste is slightly bitter, like wild vegetables.

Of course, all kinds of sauces are indispensable on the table. They are served in containers. Some of the colors are pretty good, but the taste is not flattering.Zhi Xuan dipped his chopsticks symbolically, and didn't move a second time.

In the middle of the banquet, more than a dozen girls danced into the arena.

The girls are all slim, with their arms raised when they dance, and their waists are slung, like a weak willow supporting the wind, seemingly unbearable to hold.

A young girl came to Zhixuan's seat, leaning over the ground with a smile on her face.

Zhixuan's hands holding chopsticks paused, and Marquis Xiyuan above said with a smile, "How do I see this maid?"

Zhixuan's brain spun rapidly, guessing the meaning of Marquis Xiyuan, he sighed slightly in his heart, but his face showed joy, he immediately got up and said: "Thank you for the reward!"

The girl stood up, sat down beside Zhi Xuan meekly, and poured wine for him.

Seeing that Zhixuan accepted the maidservant, Marquis Xiyuan nodded in satisfaction, and then gave the maidservant to Prince Kang and several other older concubine princes.Young Master Ming is too young to be included in the rewards.Mrs. Yang was rewarded with an extra seat, which was regarded as a favor to their mother and child.

All the wine at the banquet was grain wine, which was not distilled and had a low alcohol content. Zhi Xuan could not get drunk even after drinking a few cups.Due to his physique, his cheeks and neck were slightly flushed, as if he was too strong to drink.

Seeing him like this, Young Master Kang laughed secretly, rolled his eyes, raised the wine cup to him, and said maliciously: "Second brother is not good at drinking, he is actually drunk, this is not like father."

These words sounded like ridicule at first, but after thinking about their meaning, Zhi Xuan couldn't help but sneer.

Second brother?

Even if Young Master Kang is the eldest son of the monarch, it would be quite inappropriate to say so about him at a banquet entertaining all the dignitaries.

If the brotherhood is good, it can still be covered up with jokes.The question is are they in a good relationship?Or should I say, is there such a thing as brotherhood between them?

The two are out-and-out political enemies, Young Master Kang wishes him to die all the time, and Zhi Xuan will fight each other forever in order to save his life.

Young Master Kang, as a concubine, should respect his concubine no matter what in public, this "Second Brother" is really too casual, even contemptuous.

There were no fools present, and even if they were a little drunk, they quickly recovered.

Mi Wu and Mi Ji looked at each other, and at the same time turned their eyes to the monarch.

It was the same with Su Hu and the others. They did not express their opinions on Young Master Kang's behavior, and only waited for the monarch's reaction.

Xi Yuanhou put down the wine cup, put away the smile on his face, and said in a deep voice, "Yuan Kang, remember your identity."

This statement can be said to be merciless, Young Master Kang Deng's face was flushed, and turned pale in an instant.

Mi Ji wanted to speak, but Mi Wu held his arm and shook his head at him.

Su Hu and Fan Xu were silent, Yang Hao regretted that Mi Ji didn't jump out on the spot, and Luan would look at Zhi Xuan, wondering how he would react.

To be honest, Zhi Xuan was surprised when he heard Xi Yuanhou's words.

He originally thought that Marquis Xiyuan would make peace with Si Ni, at most he would hit Gongzi Kang moderately.I really didn't expect that he would not save face for Young Master Kang in this way.

Some of Nishiharahou's behaviors are too contradictory, making it difficult to guess whether his love and dislike are from the heart, or whether he is acting from beginning to end.

"Your Majesty, Young Master Kang must be drunk."

Zhi Xuan is not a saint, if others take the initiative to slap his left cheek with a slap, he will never stretch out his right cheek, but will unswervingly give it back in multiples.

He was not giving Young Master Kang a step, but throwing back the other party's taunt.

No matter whether Mr. Kang admits to being drunk or not, he will not get half of the benefits.

To admit it means that he used alcohol to do something wrong and lost his composure at the banquet; if he didn't admit it, he ignored the etiquette and offended the concubine with the concubine.

In an instant, Young Master Kang was caught in a dilemma, staring at Zhi Xuan with red eyes, his mind was in a mess.He knew he was in a predicament, but he couldn't think of any solution.Unless Liu Qing spoke up, he was doomed to lose face.

Compared with Young Master Kang's desperation, Zhi Xuan was able to do a job with ease.

If you want to set him up, you must be prepared to be trapped yourself.

Before he spoke, Young Master Kang really didn't think about how things would end if Marquis Xiyuan didn't stand by him.

"My son is magnanimous." Marquis Xiyuan spoke again. He spoke softly to Zhixuan, and turned to Young Master Kang, immediately showing sternness, "Yuan Kang was rude and lost his composure. He will close the house for a month and learn etiquette again."

When the punishment was issued, Young Master Kang almost lost his footing, and Mi Wu and Mi Ji's expressions changed instantly.

However, the matter is a foregone conclusion, it is impossible for Young Master Kang to violate the will of the monarch, and the Mi brothers did not speak before, and it is already too late.Seeing Young Master Kang sitting back to his original position with a pale face, there was nothing they could do.

The banquet was still going on, and the officials were drinking and chatting happily, but they were more determined, and the excitement before was no longer there.

Yang Hao picked up a piece of beef, put it into his mouth and chewed slowly, thinking about the king's intention behind this move.Maybe it's not aimed specifically at Young Master Kang, but more at Mi Shi?If this is the case, he will arrange it in advance.

There are not a few people who have similar thoughts with Yang Hao, but they don't show it on the surface, and they only care about it in their hearts.

The banquet lasted until very late, and it didn't end until late at night.

Zhi Xuan and the others left the Monarch's Mansion together.

Whether it was Su Hu who publicly supported him, or Fan Xu who secretly handed over the olive branch, they were not too close to each other on the surface. They said goodbye to each other politely, and they boarded the car and left.

Before boarding the car, Zhi Xuan paid special attention to Young Master Kang.

Ever since he was reprimanded by the monarch, Young Master Kang's complexion has been bad, until he walked out of the mansion, he was still as white as paper.The blow came so suddenly that he was in a daze, and he almost stepped on the ground when he boarded the car.

When he came back to his senses, Young Master Kang became furious and wanted to attack the servant lying on the ground.Seeing Zhi Xuan's gaze, he picked up the whip viciously and beat the servant fiercely, as if it was Zhi Xuan who was whipped.

Seeing this, Zhi Xuan sneered, not wanting to waste his eyes on the other party, turned around and boarded the car, and ordered to return home.

Young Master Kang was furious and wanted to continue swinging the whip, but Mi Wu caught him.

"Enough!" Mi Wu spoke to Young Master Kang in this tone for the first time, "Young Master, don't forget, this is the King's Mansion!"

To whom is the whip being whipped here, son Xuan or the monarch?

Before today, Mi Wu never thought that Young Master Kang was stupid, at most he thought he was irritable and irritable, sometimes he would get into the wrong corner.But after today, he didn't want to admit that Young Master Kang was arrogant, stupid and unaware.

Prince Kang was jointly suppressed by Mi Wu and Mi Ji, reluctantly boarded the car and returned home, and began a month of closed-door life.

When Zhixuan returned to the mansion, the magistrate saw the girl getting out of the car, and knowing that it was a reward from the monarch, he planned to arrange for her to go to the inner courtyard.

"No need, just be the same as the servant girl." The monarch didn't say it clearly, and Zhi Xuan happily pretended to be confused.He can tolerate the existence of spies among the soldiers, but forget it in the back house.

Hearing Zhi Xuan's words, the servant girl immediately knelt down on the ground, ready to cry, and said pitifully, "Your Majesty, don't you like slaves?"

"Why do I like you?" Zhi Xuan bent down with a smile, and lifted the woman's chin with two fingers, "What can I like about you?"

The maid really didn't understand why the gentle and elegant young master Xuan would turn into this in a blink of an eye.If she couldn't stay by Gongzixuan's side, how would she inquire about it, and how would she pass the news to the outside world?

"Slaves are rewarded by the emperor to the son."

"so what?"

The maid still wanted to pester him, so she did not hesitate to carry out Marquis Xiyuan.Zhi Xuan was a little impatient, and directly asked the government order to take him down.

"Young master, do you need a servant?"

Zhi Xuan understood the meaning of the Fu Ling's words, and immediately shook his head.

"No, people are bestowed by the king, just take good care of them."

"promise!"

It was already very late, and Zhi Xuan still had a lot of things to arrange tomorrow, so he was going to rest after washing up.

The government order did not find a chance to ask for instructions on the sacred bird adornment, so he could only temporarily suppress it to cheer up the night watchman, and led his own people to patrol the mansion, checked the lights everywhere to ensure that there was nothing missing, and then went back to the room to rest.

Zhi Xuan didn't sleep very well, and when he woke up the next day, his head was a little swollen and aching.

Doctor Sang felt his pulse and prescribed a decoction.After Zhi Xuan drank the medicine and rested for less than half an hour, the uncomfortable feeling completely disappeared.

"Doctor Sang is really skilled." Zhi Xuan said with a smile.

"Thank you, Young Master, for your praise." Everyone likes to hear good things, and Dr. Sang is no exception.What's more, Zhixuan not only praised his medical skills, but also honored his medical servants, and summoned the government order, who arranged to reclaim a medicine field in the government for the cultivation of medicinal materials.

"Thank you son, I will do my best." Dr. Sang was overjoyed.

"Doctor Sang needs to worry more about the medicine." Zhi Xuan said with a smile.The mansion is only an experiment, if successful, he will expand the cultivation in the territory.Such as ginger and garlic, in addition to being used as medicinal materials, cooking dishes are essential.

"Don't worry, son."

Dr. Sang picked up the medicine box and prepared to collect medicine today.The earlier you act, the earlier you will reap the rewards.

After sending away Dr. Sang, Zhi Xuan still had no time to rest.

"The animal skins brought back are packed in separate boxes, and the pearls and treasures rewarded by the emperor are sent out together with the animal skins." Zhi Xuan handed out the written wooden slips and asked the government order to divide the gifts and send them out according to the list above.

"Madam Yang, add two more jade rings."

"promise!"

The government order took over the wooden slips, but did not leave for a long time.

Zhi Xuan felt strange and asked, "What else do you not understand?"

"Nothing." The magistrate shook his head and said, "My lord, I have something else to ask for instructions."

"What's the matter?"

"I dare you, I don't know where is the divine bird adorned by the young master? If it is lost or damaged, there are beautiful jade in the mansion, which can be remade by craftsmen." The government order said.

Divine bird wear?

Zhi Xuan was stunned for a moment, remembering the jade pendant he gave Zhao Hao.

"I didn't lose it, I gave it away." Zhi Xuan said.

Sent?

The magistrate opened his eyes suddenly, and his voice was a little excited: "Who is the son giving it to? Does your lord know about it?"

"Why do you want your majesty to know?" Zhi Xuan felt strange, and also found it unusual from the attitude of the government order.

"The sacred bird is the totem of the Yuan clan, and the jade contains the totem, and it is given as a gift for marriage, only the son and wife can admire it." Seeing Zhixuan's confused face, the government official explained.

After explaining, the government order began to worry again, did the young master not meet the person he likes, but sent the jade pendant out in a daze?

How good is this!

After hearing the explanation of the government order, Zhi Xuan's head was buzzing.

For marriage?

Mrs. Zheng?

No wonder Zhao Hao looked surprised at the time, and confirmed with himself whether he really wanted to give it to him.

Thinking of this, Zhi Xuan couldn't help but slap his forehead, what did he do!

wrong!

Zhi Xuan suddenly realized that he was uneducated and Zhao Hao shouldn't.A man gave a wedding pendant, but he actually accepted it and said he would seriously consider it. What was he thinking? !
