The Yanning County Prince looked welcoming guests in front of the gate, but the Yanning County Prince himself did not come in person. Han Jian thought that although the Yanning County Prince made a gesture of warm invitation, he would still retain the airs of some princes. Yang Xi was his junior, and Han Jian was at the same level as him and had no seniority, he was a young man after all.

The instructor of Yanning County Prince's Mansion was very enthusiastic and greeted Han Jian and others in. As soon as he arrived at the front yard, Yanning County Prince pretended to be a coincidence to meet him. In this way, he not only carefully regarded the number of greetings, but also maintained the attitude of a master.

"Uncle Emperor, let's come..." Yang Xi said, looking around, where there were guests. What did you say to invite a banquet today, but it was just the three of them.

"Are you here?" The Prince of Yanning changed into a light and regular dress, looking very generous, with a little more affinity in his smile, and said, "This person must be the King of the East. We have a relationship in the palace. Speaking of which, I am also an old acquaintance with your father. If it weren't for your father's encounter...well, I'm going to marry my daughter to her..."

Han Jian was slightly stunned. This was really a "county prince" who said everything he said as soon as he met and did not know how to avoid it. He said that his father had "encountered", and then he made a joke. Who did he meet later? Mother or the queen? He said this in public, aren't you afraid that Yang Xi would go back and tell his sister?

"I have met my deceased uncle." Han Jian bowed politely.

The Prince of Yanning originally had a very enthusiastic smile, but when he heard this, he was stunned. He just said that he wanted to marry his daughter to Han Jian's father, who regarded himself as Han Jian's grandfather. Now Han Jian calls him the uncle, and his seniority seems to be mentioned for a generation. But even so, Han Jian regards himself as a junior.

"Please..." The Prince of Yanning personally led Han Jian and Yang Xi. Sima Yi, who was following behind, seemed to be a guest. He didn't say much. The group walked around the flower corridor. In front of him was a small and elegant pavilion. There was only a hexagonal stone table in the pavilion, and there were several plates of simple snacks and tea on the stone table. In front of the stone table, there were six chairs, all of which were cushions, and the main seat was not particularly decorated.

Han Jian thought, that is to say, it was not only the three of them who invited the banquet by the Prince of Yanning.

The pavilion is just outside the flower corridor, which looks very simple and elegant. In this early summer season, when flowers bloom, there is a pleasant feeling of flowers. In the distance of the pavilion, there is a water pavilion, because the light at night is not too strong, but I can vaguely hear the sound of water in the pond reflecting the moonlight. Han Jian is a little unpredictable. It is not easy to have such a Jiangnan garden scenery in Luoyang City. A river pond should not be big. There are koi jubilant inside, or is it that someone bathes in a lotus pond full of silt and makes the sound of water?

Han Jian looked carefully in the direction of the moonlight, but unfortunately he still couldn't see clearly.

"Great nephew, old nephew. Come, please sit down. Oh, and this young Sima hero." After Prince Yanning said that, he remembered that Sima Yi was still behind.

Originally, Sima Yi was a little unhappy when he was left alone without asking, but he was called "Sima Young Hero". Sima Yi immediately felt light and this title was very helpful to him.

"I dare not take it." Sima Yu bowed with a gift, followed Han Jian and Yang Xi with a smile, and sat down.

"Because I don't know when the three of you will arrive, they have not been allowed to serve the dishes in the kitchen. I waited for the few to come and serve them together." Seeing that Yang Xi's eyes were always on the table, the Prince of Yanning thought he was hungry, so he explained.

"Oh." Yang Xi was already a little worried because he felt that what he had eaten today should be not very "ordinary".

"I can't wait for the kind invitation from the uncle. I don't know what..." Han Jian pointed to the empty seat on the left and right sides of the Prince of Yanning and asked.

The Prince of Yanning sighed slightly, "I invite you here today, mainly for my incompetent wife and uncle. He has been the Minister of Revenue for almost a year, but even such a big case happened around him is unknown. This time, His Majesty just reduced his official position and fined him his salary. I think this is far from enough. I asked him to come this time to apologize to several people in person. It is his fault, which makes you very busy these days."

Han Jian and Yang Xi looked at each other. Today, the Prince of Yanning invited a banquet for the Minister of Revenue Tang Sheng?

"... Look, he is talking about him, he is here..." Prince Yanning said, then got up, and two people came over from the flower corridor. In front was a guest with a lantern, and behind him came forward. Han Jian recognized that Tang Sheng, the Minister of Revenue, who had entered the palace with Prince Yanning, yesterday.

Tang Sheng looked less energetic than yesterday, and he looked like he was in a state of recession. When he walked over, Han Jian and the other two also stood up.

"I have met two princes, His Highness. The prince is late and I hope to atone for my sins." Tang Shengyi spoke in a very thick tone, and his words seemed to be arranged.

Han Jian sounded like he was listening to an announcer saying official words, feeling unnatural.

"It's okay, it's okay, Shangshu Tang is polite." Yang Xi glanced at Han Jian first. Han Jian didn't say anything. He felt that it would be impolite if he greeted him and didn't reply, so he said politely.

Han Jianxin said that Tang Sheng was not late, it was clearly because the Prince of Yanning intended to arrange for his descendants to take one step. The Prince of Yanning gave an explanation in advance, as to test the attitudes of Han Jian and others, so that his brother-in-law came out to meet them.

He is scheming and scheming, and does nothing. Han Jian sighed in his heart.

Han Jian just smiled and bowed without saying much. Then several people sat down, but Tang Sheng seemed to understand the "rules". He sat down after everyone else sat down.

When asked Yang Xi about the Queen's body in the Yanning Prince's suite, Han Jian looked at the hexagonal table, and there was still a guest who had not yet appeared. Because Tang Sheng was just sitting on the left head of the Yanning Prince's house, and the empty seat on the right head of the Yanning Prince's house was obviously more important than Tang Sheng.

The atmosphere at the beginning of the banquet was also harmonious. The Prince of Yanning was like a smiling Buddha, and he spoke with a leisurely smile. However, Yang Xi seemed very restrained when asked. Han Jian knew that Yang Xi was still worried about the strange "mountain delicacies". As he was speaking, the servants of the Prince's Mansion had already started to serve the wine pot and dish plate. The hexagonal table in the pavilion was not big, and a few dishes came up and the table was filled.

After looking at the banquet, he took a look at the common dishes on the plate and then breathed a sigh of relief. Finally, he didn't let him eat the food that made him sick.

The wine and food were all in one go, and the Prince of Yanning smiled and poured wine for Han Jian and others. There were many rules for pouring wine. Although the owners usually made wine, different people received different requirements. Among all the people, Sima Yi had no official position and no character, but he was like Han Jian and just handed the wine glass forward to let the Prince of Yanning pour wine. The Prince of Yanning was just a little stunned. It probably didn't have to understand why Sima Yi, who was born in aristocratic family, didn't even understand this rule. However, he was too obsessed with the method and still poured wine for Sima Yi.

"Come on, I will give you a cup first. I will give you a respect first." The Prince of Yanning said, and was about to bring the wine to his mouth.

Han Jian thought, the last guest would not come? But now, the last guest's wine glasses, plates and chopsticks are ready, which means that the person will definitely come. With the status of Prince Yanning, he should understand the rules of the banquet, that is, the person will not hold the banquet without everyone. Even if it is necessary to hold it in advance, he should make some explanations to avoid being embarrassed after the guests arrive late.

At this time, Tang Sheng, who was standing beside him, reminded him at the right time: "Brother-in-law, that girl Qingle... hasn't come yet, could she be dressing up in the room?"

The Prince of Yanning put down his wine glass and smiled and said, "Look at me, I forgot about things when I was old, but I forgot about that girl Qingle. I will ask someone to urge me now. That girl has always been slow in doing things and does not know the priorities."

Only then did Han Jian realize that the last "guest" was nothing but Yang Qingle, whom he had met once, was the granddaughter of Yanning County Prince. Because Yanning County Prince's son died early and his daughter married away, Yanning County Prince treated this granddaughter like a pearl or a treasure.

"Grandfather, who said that he was slow? Am I here?" A crisp voice sounded from behind the pavilion, but it was not in the direction of the flower corridor. The back house of the Prince's Mansion is connected to the back house of the Prince's Mansion, which means that Yang Qingle still lives in the Prince's Mansion until now.

Before the people arrived, the sound was heard first, and a girl with a handsome young man came over with a maid. The two maids carried lanterns to the side, and Yang Qingle walked out, wearing a light pink ladies' skirt, but after some decoration. The pink face was a bit heavy, the cheeks were red, and the red lips were bright. This is the standard outfit that is a "beauty" in the world, but Han Jian doesn't like this outfit very much.

"Qingle, why are you so unruly? Didn't you tell you that there will be guests coming today and ask you to come out early to welcome me? You have to come so late and you still have to wait for you?" Prince Yanning's face darkened, as if he was blaming, but he did not have anger in his mouth.

From this point of view, Han Jian could feel that the Prince of Yanning should love this granddaughter very much on weekdays. It is no wonder that when Yang Xi first mentioned Yang Qingle, he said that Yang Qingle was a quirky girl and always teased him. This should be related to family education.

"I won't know next time." Yang Qingle pouted slightly, looking very charming.

Tang Sheng, who was standing beside him, quickly said a few words, and the Prince of Yanning calmed down his calm expression.

"Several distinguished guests laughed. This granddaughter was spoiled by the old man and he didn't understand the rules in front of others." The Prince of Yanning looked at Han Jian and others with an apology.

"It's okay, the emperor," Yang Xi smiled, "Qingle has been like this since she was a child. I'm used to it. I'm not used to it after she changed her temperament."

Yang Xi's "blunt words" made Yang Qingle frowned and glared. Then Yang Qingle's eyes lit up on Han Jian and Sima Yi before saluting everyone, but first saluting Tang Sheng.

"Uncle An. Uncle hasn't been here for a long time. What gift did you bring to Qingle this time?" Yang Qingle asked Tang Sheng for gifts like a child.

Tang Sheng came today with a different purpose, so how could he remember to bring a gift to a little girl?

Seeing that Tang Sheng looked a little embarrassed, the Prince of Yanning shouted, "Renacious! Sitting honestly, there are guests here today. If you are so unruly, I will marry you out and let your husband's family discipline you well!"
