"Your Highness, I heard that the Queen will also come to today's banquet." Xiao Guiya hesitated for a long time, unable to overcome his surging curiosity, so he started to inquire.
Sima Daozi happened to be very interested in gossiping at the moment, so he gave Xiao Guiya the answer before he could continue formulating words.
“The queen will indeed come, so today’s banquet must be quite exciting.”
“Speaking of which, I have never seen the Queen.” Thinking of meeting this legendary cold-faced Yaksha girl, Xiao Guiya’s little heart was beating with excitement.
"Of course you haven't seen her. I haven't seen her since this year."
The two of them came under the tree and sat on a stone bench to enjoy the shade.
The weather was very hot, and the sweat made the clothes and the skin on my back stick together, which was very uncomfortable. Fortunately, there was a hint of wind under the trees, which allowed people to breathe a sigh of relief.
Zhang Guiren was born in such a sultry day, no wonder he is so difficult to deal with.
Xiao Guiya was enjoying the breeze, and this thought came to his mind unconsciously.
“There is one more thing you need to give me.”
"What's the matter?" Xia Ya was always ready to help Sima Daozi resolve the crisis. When he heard this, his nerves immediately became tense.
“I will make it clear to the maids and servants at home later that they cannot interfere with anything that happens in this house in the afternoon, whether it is a noise or a fight.”
“The disputes among the guests have nothing to do with our Langya Palace.”
Xiaya was a little nervous: "Your Highness, you mean that the guests who came in the afternoon would actually start fighting?"
"This is impossible. The people who came to attend Zhang Guisheng's birthday banquet in the afternoon were all well-known people in and outside the palace. How could they fight at the banquet? What's more, this is Prince Langya's palace."
“What about Langya Prince’s Mansion?”
"These people, don't take them too seriously. When they are shameless, they are even more outrageous than me. Just look at it. It's not a good sign that the Queen is coming to the banquet today."
"Not just her, even the Xie family wants to stand out, and these people have no good intentions."
“Xie family? Who wants to come over?”
Even though Xiao Guiya was an onion seller in Jiankang City before, he has been rising rapidly since he came to the palace. With his talents, he became a good friend of Sima Daozi and one of his important think tanks.
With friends like Xiao Guiya, Sima Daozi's talents can be seen at a glance.
Any kid from an aristocratic family with some ability would associate with a ruffian like Xiao Guiya.
“Stop your imagination, it can’t be Xie An. Ever since Xie Xuan went to war, the old man has been living in seclusion all day long and has basically never left Xie’s house.”
"Besides, that Zhang Guiren is a charlatan and has such an exaggerated style that Xie An won't look down upon her when he sees her."
Xiao Guiya nodded slightly, but Xie Xuan was not here, who else could the Xie family ask to come? A junior, it seems, is not qualified to attend such a big occasion.
“The thanking stone is coming.”
"It's him?"
In the Jin Dynasty, Xie Shi's presence was not very high. His brother Xie An's light was blocking the light in front of him. If Sima Daozi hadn't mentioned it specifically, Xiao Guiya would have almost forgotten that such a person existed.
“What does Your Highness want to do?”
The main figures from several major families were gathered together, and the troublemaking women in the harem were also present. It was an extraordinary feat to finish the afternoon banquet.
“We don’t have to take action, they will fight on their own.”
“You just need to look at the situation carefully and see the real purpose of these people.”
"No problem, I'll take care of this matter."
The master and the servant made a plan and started to prepare.
Sima Daozi is a lively person, and all the big names come here. As the host, he has to set up a good stage.
………
In the small square in front of the Jiankang Palace, the carriages and horses were all ready, and the feathers were also ready. They were just waiting for the emperor and empress to board the carriage before they could set off.
As the most famous person in this team, Emperor Sima Yao boarded the carriage early. He was quite excited at the thought of being able to go out of the palace to play.
The key point is that there is good wine in Daozi’s house!
Sima Yao rubbed his hands excitedly and opened his nostrils, as if he could smell the strong aroma of wine.
Zhang Guiren seemed to be stuck to Sima Yao like a puddle of mud, but her treatment was definitely not comparable to that of mud.
Sima Yao wished she could keep wearing it like this.
"Your Majesty, aren't we setting off yet?" Zhang Guiren stood up slightly and flapped his big cat-like eyes.
Sima Yao glanced at her, she was asking questions knowingly.
“Isn’t that woman not here yet?”
“When she arrives, send her away and we’ll set off again, my dear, don’t be anxious!”
When you are an emperor, you have no choice but to do so!
The current emperor Sima Yao is at the peak of helplessness.
With the warm and fragrant nephrite at your side, whoever has the skills and interest to deal with that evil woman.
It's just that the imperial court has its own regulations. Even Sima Yao, who doesn't rely on the rules and doesn't take the rules seriously, has to obey the system when encountering major events.
According to the regulations of the Jin Dynasty, when traveling out of the palace, offering sacrifices in the countryside, etc., unless there are special circumstances, the emperor and the empress should travel together in the same chariot.
It is the same in all dynasties, only the emperor and the queen are qualified to ride the most luxurious and highest-grade golden car.
Sima Yao certainly had no such idea.
Traveling in the same car as the stinky Queen Wang?
What a joke!
“I originally thought that she would never agree to your invitation!”
“Who knew she actually agreed!”
“Tell me, are you the one who caused this?”
Sima Yao lifted Zhang Guiren’s chin and questioned her.
Zhang Guiren is not afraid of him. In her eyes, the angry Sima Yao is just a fake tiger and a really good cat.
It’s just pretentious.
"How could this be my fault? I had originally planned to have the queen attend. She is willing to come. It is not a great honor for me. I am grateful to her before it is too late."
“Are you grateful to her? That’s nice to say!”
"If you are really grateful to her, get out of the car and put her in." Sima Yao suddenly turned serious and looked at Zhang Guiren intently.
Little lady, there are still some old foxes in the court that he can’t defeat, but he can still handle a little noble like you, which is more than enough.
Zhang Guiren wanted to continue to hold on just now, but when he heard these words, he immediately gave up.
“That can’t be done!”
“Nunu will never get off the car!”
Zhang Guiren got into Sima Yao's arms and rolled around like a baby. Smart women always know when they should show weakness.
When can you be a little clever?
As soon as she called Nunu, Sima Yao lost half of his temper.
“Your Majesty!”
The two of them were sitting in the royal chariot, bubbling with happiness. When they heard this sudden call, they were almost scared to death.
