As night falls, the light in the sky slowly fades away. When darkness covers the last trace of light in the sky, darkness falls.
The mighty procession arrived at Lijin City Station, and officials from the city came to greet them one after another. They set up banquets for the emperor to welcome his arrival.
The emperor has not eaten any delicacies in the palace, which really troubles the officials here. The emperor always advocates frugality, and if he is luxurious, he is afraid of being punished by the emperor.
This place is adjacent to the Daqing River and is rich in all kinds of fish and seafood, so we carefully prepared an all-fish feast.
Yingluo got off the carriage and saw her father and Gong Yichu, who had a grudge against her in her previous life. She just nodded to her father and walked past Gong Yichu silently, pretending not to see him.
Si Wushang's deep phoenix eyes swept over the two people's eyebrows. Whether it was love or hate, Gongyichu was always in his heart.
The emperor was very happy to see the whole fish feast on the table. It didn't look luxurious, just like a family banquet.
Looking at everyone, Murong Xuan was a general guarding the emperor. Both of his daughters were married to the royal family and were the emperor's father-in-law.
King Zheng is his own brother, and there are not so many rules when he is not in the palace. The emperor ordered everyone to break the etiquette and eat at the same table.
The official who received the emperor was Cui Daoyuan from the state capital here. He was about fifty years old and tall and thin, with a beard under his chin. He was dressed in an old black and blue official uniform. He pointed to the steamed sea bass as the first dish on the table.
The introduction said: "As the saying goes, one custom leads to another. This place is not far from the capital, but the cooking method is very different from the capital city. The unique smoked bacon here is added to it. Many literati recited poems after tasting this steamed seabass.
Praise for its deliciousness and it has become a famous dish here."
"Okay, Cui Aiqing's banquet is very good. It uses what the people drink. It's not extravagant or wasteful. It's very good! Anyone who comes will be rewarded!"
Cui Daoyuan hurriedly knelt down and said: "I thank your Majesty for your kindness!"
Yingluo looked at Cui Daoyuan who was kneeling on the ground, and looked at his old official uniform, but there was an emerald ring on the finger on his right hand. This man should be a flattering villain who had touched the person in power.
With such a mentality, it is not a blessing to the country or the country that such people stay in the court.
Next to him, Si Wushang saw Yingluo's taut eyebrows, and he must have noticed that Cui Daoyuan was not a kind person. How could the emperor not see that this person was a member of the Queen Mother's gang, and as a person in power, it was time to pretend to be ignorant.
After the reward was given, he was sent out, and an eunuch came up to test the food for the emperor to make sure it was not poisonous before it could be used.
Si Wuyue looked at the people at the table, "This is just a family banquet, so please use your chopsticks!"
The emperor always only eats light food. Murong Jinxin put some light food on the plate for the emperor, "Your Majesty, the bamboo shoots in this fish head are quite fresh."
Si Wuyue's face was warm and she said: "Okay!"
Prince Zheng and his wife naturally wanted to show their love to others, and Yingluo had already remembered all of Prince Zheng's preferences. She picked up the chopsticks and picked up some sea bass, put it into her own plate, removed the fish bones, and handed it to Prince Zheng silently.
Si Wushang just smiled and said nothing, picked up the sea bass paste and put it into his mouth. The two of them looked implicitly affectionate.
Si Wuyue looked at Murong Xuan. Two distinguished men in the Chenghan Dynasty were the sons-in-law of the Murong family. This banquet was like a family banquet of the Murong family.
"My father-in-law and my son-in-law, I would like to toast your father-in-law with a glass of wine today." He immediately picked up the wine glass next to him and handed it over.
Murong Xuan hurriedly knelt down and said: "I don't dare!"
Si Wuyue smiled and said: "My father-in-law, this is not the imperial palace. Today I am just the son-in-law of the Murong family. My father-in-law married Jinxin to me and gave birth to Yu'er. This glass of wine is what my father-in-law should drink."
Si Wushang could naturally see the emperor's thoughts and hurriedly echoed: "Father-in-law, I would also like to give you a toast by marrying Yingluo to me. Not only has my illness been cured, but Yingluo is also a virtuous woman."
Good wife."
Murong Xuan looked at the two glasses of wine in front of him. The two of them understood that this was a toast. It was a shame to say that if you didn't drink, you would be ignorant, even if the wine in front of you was poisonous.
Murong Xuan was grateful and took the emperor's wine glass. "Old minister, thank you, Emperor Zheng, for the wine!" He drank the two glasses of wine in one gulp.
After enjoying the family dinner, the emperor and the queen were arranged to stay in the largest courtyard, while Prince Zheng and his wife lived in the courtyard next to the emperor.
Zhen'er and Amai came to the bedroom in advance and rearranged the room according to the prince and princess's preferences. According to the prince's instructions, they changed into quilts brought from the prince's palace. When they saw the two people entering the room, they hurriedly went to greet them.
.
Si Wushang looked at Zhen'er and Amai, "You two, please get out!" The two of them followed the order and walked out.
Si Wushang closed his eyes and listened carefully to his surroundings. Although Murong Yingluo kept pretending to be loving, she could tell that there seemed to be a deeper meaning in this so-called family banquet.
"Prince Zheng, tonight's banquet...!"
Si Wushang pulled her body into his arms and suddenly blocked her mouth with his big hand, "Shh! If you don't want the two of us to be seen tonight, just shut up."
Yingluo looked at him with stunned eyes. Did he find something? She looked around quietly, but there was nothing strange.
She saw him let go of his hand and flew directly to the roof to check. Yingluo saw him falling from the roof and asked, "How? Has anyone tampered with it?"
"There is a piece of tile above that has been tampered with. Someone should come tonight. The two of us are going to sleep on the same bed tonight. You can lie down on the bed first."
Murong Yingluo suddenly thought of what he had said this morning, wondering if the legendary sex scene was really going to be staged, and her heart became uneasy.
I don't know if it's because I'm shy or because I like him, but I feel so nervous that my heart skips a beat.
Caressing his heart, he was comforting himself that there was nothing to be nervous about. It was just an act and it was not a fake act. He slowly took off his boots and got on the bed. He took off his coat and put it beside him, and pulled up the quilt to cover it.
On the body.
Si Wushang walked to the door and locked the door of the room. He took off his clothes and threw them down. He lowered the curtains and saw that Murong Yingluo was wearing a middle coat, covering herself tightly.
He frowned in displeasure, "Have you ever seen a sex scene where you have to wear clothes? Can't you ask me to undress you?"
He reached out and picked up the shirt she took off, and also threw it under the bed.
