Chapter 157: Dinner with Celebrities (1)

Three days later, the General's Mansion suddenly became lively, and the housekeeper was preparing everything for the banquet. By the time the sun went down, the entire General's Mansion had been properly decorated and there was nothing wrong with it.

Gu Cenya was sitting in the flower hall nearby, expressionless. Even he himself didn't know how he came here these days.

He has been struggling in his heart, and when he faces Yu Li, he will feel heartache. He even begins to be afraid, fearing that someone will wake up one morning and tell him that Yu Li is no longer here.

Youtong left the day after the imperial edict was read out. She said that she had more important things to do. He knew that she was always busy. She had been busy for more than ten years for this revenge plan and for the country of Yu Tianchao.

Year.

Therefore, when he faced Youtong, he was even more unable to retreat.

"General, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has arrived." Butler Rong bowed to report.

Gu Cenya froze slightly, why did he come so early today?

However, before he could think about it, Dongfang Shangyu had already walked in, holding Yu Li's green qin in his hands.

Dongfang Shangyu smiled calmly and said: "The general is entertaining celebrities from the imperial capital. It should be a pleasant thing, but why do you look so melancholy?"

Gu Cenya also smiled and said: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has thought too much. Cen Ya is already overjoyed to be able to invite His Highness the Crown Prince to come."

Dongfang Shangyu did not investigate the truth or falsehood of his words. He just looked around and asked, "Why don't you see your sister? I took her piano last time, and I wanted to return it to her today."

Gu Cenya's face darkened and he said: "Li'er happens to be away from the mansion today. If His Highness the Crown Prince wants to return the piano, it would be better to choose another day."

Dongfang Shangyu thought for a moment, nodded and said, "That's fine."

At this time, Butler Rong came in again and reported: "General, the others are also here, and the old slave has ushered them into the hall."

"Okay, let me know, the banquet will begin."

After Gu Cenya finished speaking, he said to Dongfang Shangyu: "Your Highness, please——"

Dongfang Shangyu still held Qin in his arms, walked out of the flower hall and headed towards the hall.

In the hall, glazed lamps had already been lit, and the lights were bright. On both sides of the hall, those who had been invited to see Dongfang Shangyu and Gu Cenya stood up and saluted.

Gu Cenya pointed to the seat of honor in the center of the hall and said to Dongfang Shangyu: "Your Highness, please take a seat."

"That's inappropriate!" Dongfang Shangyu didn't look around. He walked to the deputy seat under the chief seat and said: "Since the general is the host today, forget about my identity as the prince for the time being. We are all young people today.

Talented people, it’s better not to have any scruples when we are together.”

After saying that, Gu Cenya sat opposite Xu Lin'an, the son of the prime minister.

Xu Lin'an is about the same age as Dongfang Shangyu. He has a slender figure and wears a crimson brocade robe. He does have a bit of heroism. However, although Xu Lin'an was born into a wealthy family, he still hangs out among flowers and is somewhat unruly and impetuous.

Seeing Dongfang Shangyu sitting opposite him, Xu Linan quickly forced out a smile.

Dongfang Shangyu ignored it and said to the guard commander Guo Ziliang beside him: "We haven't seen you for a few days, Master Guo has been reduced again. I have said before, Master Guo, don't work too hard. Your body and bones are the most important thing, right?"

Unexpectedly, Guo Ziliang was young and vigorous, and had an upright character. He ignored his status as the prince and said: "His Royal Highness has not been in court for many days. He probably has forgotten what he was like before. As for the lack of reduction, it must be the record of His Highness the Crown Prince."

Wrong." Dongfang Shangyu was not angry, he actually liked Guo Ziliang's personality, but his personality was not tolerated by his father, Dongfang Jing, and he almost lost his official position several times.

Gu Cenya saw that Dongfang Shangyu had already sat down, so he couldn't refuse. He walked up to the main seat and said to Butler Rong, "Let's serve the food and wine first."

Butler Rong responded and left.

Gu Cen Ya stood up, picked up the wine glass on the table, and said: "Today, our General's Mansion is in full bloom. The rich young men, celebrities and talents from the imperial capital are all gathered here. I, Gu Cen Ya, am deeply pleased.

, let me have a drink here to show my gratitude."

Guo Ziliang stood up and said, "I will drink with the general."

Gu Cenya smiled and said: "Please."

Although Guo Ziliang was born in the military camp, he has never been under Gu Cenya's command. Now he is in charge of the imperial guard and is involved in the safety of the royal family. It can be said that he has overwhelming power. However, there is no arrogance in him.

All he has is a passion to serve the country with loyalty.

After drinking a glass of wine, Gu Cenya said: "Master Guo is less than thirty, and he is already serving as a guard commander. I, Gu Cenya, admire him deeply. I have always wanted to have a drink with General Guo, but I didn't want to wait until today to fulfill my wish."

"The general is so humble!" Guo Ziliang said with a smile, "Who doesn't know the reputation of the general who conquers the west in this imperial dynasty?"

Hearing this, Xu Lin'an seemed a little unhappy and said, "Did Mr. Guo go too far in flattering you?"

Guo Ziliang snorted coldly and said, "You never care about national affairs. How do you know the general's bravery on the battlefield?"

"Although I don't care about state affairs, I also know that Yu Tianchao's surname is Dongfang!" Xu Lin'an's every word sounded like a bell, and the whole hall suddenly became quiet.

Gu Cenya naturally understood in his heart that Xu Linan wanted to show his face in front of Dongfang Shangyu.

However, after all, he didn’t understand Dongfang Shangyu very well!

Sure enough, Dongfang Shangyu said with a smile: "We agreed not to talk about state affairs today, how come you all forgot?"

"Yes! Today I ordered Butler Rong to invite the best piano players and dancers in the imperial capital. Let's just drink and have fun and not talk about state affairs!" Gu Cenya smiled deeply. He held today's dinner. Originally, he just wanted to take a look at the various places in the imperial capital.

The political tendencies of these forces do not have too many plans.

And now, his goal has been achieved.

"Red and tender goose——"

"Cui Liu Xiang Steamed Balls——"

"Braised whole fish——"

"Hibiscus and Bamboo Shoot Soup——"

"..."

Butler Rong stood at the door of the hall, announcing the names of the dishes in a long voice. Behind him were seven or eight good-looking maids.

The maids carried the trays and placed the food and wine on everyone's table one by one. Then they bowed and exited the door.
