White Hedge Dream

Chapter 229 Wonderful Banquet

Crowds of people poured into the cabin, but instead of rushing to grab their favorite gambling tables, looking for their favorite piano girls and dancers, or getting into the side rooms to recite poems and paint, as in the past, they all gathered in the hall and stared at the hall.

Lady Dengyun's sword dance has ended, and the colorful silk floats away. Before everyone can take their eyes back, high poles and ropes are erected in the hall. The next moment, five young men on the ground rise up and walk on the ropes. , rolling and flying, with colorful silk and white gauze flowing in it, like clouds and mist. Standing below and looking up, it's like peeking into a fairy palace.

Everyone looked intoxicated for a while.

The maids arrived, and wine was given to each of them.

Li Yu raised his wine glass: "We are happy today, please drink together."

Everyone couldn't help but raise their glasses. Although they still didn't know where the joy came from, in this situation, who cared what Li Yu said. They shouted congratulations, congratulations, and random blessings, and poured out the wine. Drink it all in one gulp.

Wang Tong was different from others in that he was not attracted by the wonderful rope skills in the field. He only looked at Li Yu standing at the top, and then saw Zhou Jingyun slowly walking up the stairs towards him. He drank the wine in one gulp happily and walked away from the scene. A person on the side took it from his hand and drank again. He didn't know if he drank too much. In his blurred vision, he seemed to see the woman standing next to Li Yu holding a child in her arms...

The child looked very young, with pink hair and a flower in it.

He knew that this woman, Li Yu's favorite maid, was in charge of the Hualou Ship for Li Yu.

But what happened to the child?

Has this beloved maid given birth to a child?

Wang Tong couldn't help but rub his eyes, and looked round again, only to see that the beloved maid was holding not a child, but a white porcelain vase.

A bottle for wine.

Are you dazzled?

He was startled to see Zhou Jingyun approaching, smiling and nodding at Li Yu. The beloved maid approached holding a bottle of wine, as if pouring wine for him.

Four teenagers were running and jumping on the suspended ropes, falling and bouncing in the hall. The white gauze was flying, blocking the view.

Bai Li lifted the child in his arms and said with a smile: "Nanny, Nannan, look who's here?"

The girl looked around with her eyes wide open, as if she didn't know where to look.

Zhou Jingyun also tried hard to focus his eyes on Bai Li's hand, trying to tell himself that it was not a white porcelain vase, that was a child...

His vision was blurred, and the child and the bottle kept changing.

"If you think hard, it's Nannan, it's Nannan." Bai Li reminded with a smile.

Li Yu laughed on the sidelines. He did not have such confusion. A Li said that because of his dreamless constitution, he was less affected when he was pulled into a dream.

So although his vision was a little blurry, he could see that Bai Li was holding a child in his arms, not Hu Ping.

"Your Majesty, don't force yourself. We'll look at it later when we go back indoors." He said beside him.

Zhou Jingyun smiled at him: "It doesn't matter, no matter what I see, she is still her."

After saying that, he reached out and took the "Hu bottle" from Bai Li's arms.

"It's her first time meeting so many people, don't be scared."

As he spoke, his vision changed, and the Hu Ping in his arms turned into a child. He hurriedly reached out and stroked the child's ears.

"Nanny, don't be afraid. This is your 100-day banquet."

Li Yu came closer, looked at the child with a smile, and pointed towards the hall: "Nanny, it looks good, do you like it? There will be something better soon."

The young man standing on the rope in the hall threw a stream of glass beads. The rapidly alternating glass beads formed a halo. Through the halo of the glass beads, Wang Tong, who was standing on the first floor, saw him standing side by side and smiling at Zhou Jingyun, pointing at Li in the hall. Although Yu was far away, as if he were in the clouds, Wang Tong could still clearly distinguish the words on his lips.

It looks good, whether you like it or not, I prepared it specially for you.

Zhou Jingyun looked into the hall and smiled lightly.

Although it was a little weird for Prince Zhou to hold a Hu Ping in his arms, but... a good-looking person would look suave and unique even if he hugged a tree branch.

"Okay!" Wang Tong excitedly raised his wine glass and drank it down in one gulp, "This is truly an immortal appearance, a sight rarely seen in the world."

There was a sudden silence behind him, and then there was a commotion. Wang Tong was a little angry. Who could ruin the atmosphere so much?

He turned around subconsciously and saw seven or eight people pouring in. They immediately lined up on both sides, revealing a man wearing plain clothes behind them.

Wang Tong almost spit out the wine in his mouth.

unlucky.

Why did Zhang Ze also come to Lou Chuan?

Zhang Ze didn't care about the surprised gazes around him, and didn't look at the crowd. He looked at the rope set up in the hall. At this time, the young man who threw the glass beads was hanging upside down and slid down the rope. The glass beads fell into his arms like meteors.

"Okay!" He said slowly stroking his hands.

…

…

Zhang Ze.

Zhou Jingyun and Li Yu looked over at the same time.

At the same time, Cai Songnian also walked forward quickly.

"He did not use his identity as a supervisor to climb the building." Cai Songnian said in a low voice, "He used his identity as a guest and is qualified, so he cannot be stopped."

Li Yu nodded and smiled at Zhang Ze in the hall: "It's okay, just come and I'll greet the guests."

Zhou Jingyun turned around the moment he saw Zhang Ze come in. At this time, he handed the child to Bai Li and whispered: "You take the child away first."

Bai Li took the child and said, "It's not us who should leave. This is our daughter's 100-day feast."

As he said this, he looked at Zhang Ze in the hall and smiled.

"But he is here, don't think about leaving so easily."

…

…

The boy on the rope fell to the ground, the overhead ropes and ropes were taken away, and this time there was no new performance.

All eyes are focused on the door.

Zhang Ze looked at Li Yu who was coming and Zhou Jingyun behind him. "His Royal Highness and the Crown Prince are in such good spirits." He said with a hint of a smile, "Yesterday it was not enough to spend time together by the Taiye Pond, we have to spend time together again tonight."

This is really not nice to say.

Li Yu didn't seem to understand. He patted his chest and said, "Of course I'm very excited. I almost got into trouble due to a false alarm yesterday. I have to celebrate it no matter what." He looked at Zhou Jingyun next to him again, "Prince Zhou, I was the one yesterday." The auspicious star is naturally a guest today."

Zhou Jingyun smiled: "Your Highness is serious, it just happened." After saying that, he looked at Zhang Ze and asked calmly, "Zhongcheng, the investigation is not finished yet? After checking the building and ship, do you still have to go to the princess's house?"

To scare him with the princess? Zhang Ze smiled and said: "Today is not an official business. I have heard about the name of Hualou Chuan for a long time, and even the prince is reluctant to leave. I'm here to see it."

Li Yu laughed loudly: "Okay, rare guests, rare guests, my Hualou boat is really shining. Zhongcheng, please come and take a seat."

Zhang Ze did not refuse, and followed Li Yu and Zhou Jingyun to the side seats. He looked around and saw men, women, old and young, maids and servants, all interlaced.

Zhang Ze took his seat and did not let the maids on the boat get close. The eight people he brought stood behind him.

These eight people seemed to be wearing ordinary clothes, but four of them were wearing swords, and four of them were holding strange objects. There were fans made of unknown feathers, carved bronze mirrors, palm-sized copper plates, and one person was holding a piece of white gauze. .

Very weird.

"I hope your highness will forgive me." He said to Li Yu, "I'm not used to others being close to me."

Li Yu smiled: "I know, I know, Zhong Cheng has only brought these few people with him and he already trusts me. According to your habits, everyone on my boat had to be driven away."

Zhang Ze did not deny it and said with a smile: "In any case, His Highness is the King of Chu now, not a young man from the Shangguan family."

Li Yu didn't mind his rudeness: "Since Zhongcheng is here, let's continue." After saying that, he raised his hand and clapped it.

Accompanied by his high-fives, the originally quiet hall suddenly heard banging sounds, which seemed to come from all directions.

Lou Chuan's drum music is so exquisite that only the sound is heard but the musicians are not seen.

"The sound of horses' hooves sounded like this." A guest in the hall listened with his eyes closed and commented, "I seem to really see horses tramping."

Someone next to me said, "It's not like that, it's true."

What really? The guest opened his eyes, widened his eyes instantly, and saw a horse suddenly coming out of a corner of the hall.

This is a horse all white, decorated with gold and white ropes, and piled with pearls and gems.

"Good horse!" Many people in the hall praised.

But Liangju was not unusual for the dandies in the hall, and the next moment someone shouted again.

"Horse, horse, to the beat of the drum!"

In response to the drumbeat? These words made many people in the hall pay close attention. Sure enough, they saw the rhythm of the horseshoes harmonizing with the sound of the drums. Not only the sound of the drums, but also the sound of the piano and the flute were heard in their ears. They were light and agile. The horseshoes also changed accordingly. Not only the horseshoes, but also the horse's head. The horse shakes, rotates and moves...

"The horses are dancing!"

"Really dancing!"

"Ha, look, it's still Hu Xuan!"

The originally quiet hall was filled with excitement. Compared with the beauty's dance, the horse dance was more shocking.

Zhang Ze looked calm when he saw this scene, and turned to look at the entourage behind him.

The feather fan was swaying gently, the soft wind was blowing on his face, the bronze mirror was shining, his familiar face was in the mirror, and the copper plate was lightly touched, making a crisp sound in his ears.

"Don't worry, Zhongcheng. Everything is business as usual." The man holding the white gauze said softly.

It's not an illusion, it's a real white horse dancing.

Zhang Ze withdrew his gaze and looked at the white horse swaying with the music in the field, stroking his palms: "It's amazing, His Majesty the King of Chu really has everything here." After saying that, he looked at Li Yu and smiled, "Your Majesty's feast is not so mysterious. thing.”

These words are really vicious. If spread tomorrow, a lot of suspicion will arise between His Majesty and the King of Chu. Cai Songnian and other stewards looked over and clenched the hands hanging by their sides.

Li Yu just smiled: "Those things I play for fun cannot be put on the stage."

Zhang Ze looked at the dancing horses, the noisy crowd, and the brightly lit hall, and suddenly saw a woman standing on the third floor opposite with a smile and a child in her arms...

She raised the child high, as if to let the child watch the dancing horses in the field, and the people swayed in response to the drum music. The little child did not know whether he was attracted by the horse dance in the field, or was happy to be shaken, waving his arms, grinning... .

child.

Zhang Ze felt a roar in his head, something seemed to be gushing out, and he was about to stand up, but the woman holding the child looked over and smiled at him. Zhang Ze's eyes blurred, as if a white gauze fell, and his eyesight Become drowsy.

He couldn't feel the wind of the feather fan, couldn't hear the beating of the copper plate, and couldn't see the face in the bronze mirror.

He couldn't move, as if he was covered.

That woman!

That woman!

she!

Zhang Ze looked at the opposite side. Her face was blurry and clear. She held the child and looked at him with a smile.

"Zhang Ze is here."

Her voice rang out, distant and clear through the noise and cheerful music in the hall.

"What made you think of coming here?"

The colorful silk in the hall was flying, and the woman stepped on it, walking gracefully, and walked over step by step.

"Come here too..."

She stepped to the ground, holding the child and sitting next to him.

"...A 100-day banquet for our little princess?"

Zhang Ze could turn his head. He slowly turned around and looked at the woman beside him. The woman raised her hand and seemed to remove the white gauze. Her face became clear from blur. It was a young face that had not yet been seen clearly. The face floated and melted, and another face emerged from underneath it.

Qiu Shui's eyes slowly opened, and her cherry lips smiled slightly.

This is a familiar face.

She held the child in her arms on her lap, looked at Zhang Ze, and raised her eyebrows.

"Zhang Ze, have you brought a gift?"

The banquet scene is based on the Qianqiu Banquet of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty.
