Xie An looked at it for a while, and finally felt relieved when he saw that Xie Shi had a solemn expression and serious words.
"There is one more thing I want to tell you. You must pay attention to Queen Wang's behavior at the banquet."
"Queen Wang?"
"What's so interesting about a female prostitute who always keeps to herself in the harem?" Xie Shi said with disdain.
It wasn't that he looked down on Wang Zhenying, it was just that Xie Shi really couldn't find a queen who had never acted like a demon worth paying attention to.
See how she gives Sima Yao a cold face!
Xie An shook his head, his eyes slightly focused: "You think too simply."
"On the contrary, I think that the queen deserves the most attention at this banquet."
"For her to walk out of the palace and celebrate the birthday of her enemy Zhang Guiren, it was definitely not something Wang Gong could persuade her to do."
"I met the queen several times when she was still living in the Wang family in Taiyuan. She was originally a very talented and learned woman, and she was also pretty in appearance."
"However, such a knowledgeable and courageous woman has never been the type that the emperor likes. After being in the palace for a few years, I have verified my guess."
"It has been quiet for several years. I thought that the queen just wanted to be a decoration in the palace. Now it seems that everything has not been finalized yet."
"Fixed number?"
"What's the fixed number?"
Xie Shi said with a smile: "In this harem, Zhang Guiren's family is the only one. Sima Yao supports her every day, let alone the queen. I think even if a newer woman appears in the harem, she will not be able to change her for a while."
Zhang Guiren took Sima Yao's love away from his hands."
"You are so confident in Zhang Guiren's status, does she know?"
Xie Shi was stunned. What the elder brother said was quite disturbing.
"Of course she won't know, but I think that's generally true. It's been several years since the Queen entered the palace. Men like the new and dislike the old. Do we still expect her to regain the Sacred Heart?"
Xie An pondered for a moment, but he still believed that Wang Zhenying's appearance was no accident and that he needed to be careful.
If there was only Wang Zhenying in the harem, Xie Xuan would not be so worried. However, in the same court, there was Wang Gong who was eyeing him.
As siblings, it would not be a good thing for the Xie family if Queen Wang and her eldest brother join forces.
"Just do as I say, pay attention to Queen Wang's actions, and tell me the truth."
Every time at this time, Xie An hated himself for being thrust into the position of head of the family by his tribe. The life he had lived in Xianyun Yehe in the past was what he yearned for.
Hiking, fishing, and playing chess are all his favorites. His pursuit is to sit with friends, talk, drink some wine, and sing a few erotic songs.
Brother, does he not trust me?
This time, I must show him my hand!
With this idea in mind, Xie Shi took a car to Prince Langya's Mansion.
As time passed, the atmosphere in the palace became more and more lively, and a birthday banquet became more and more decent.
Many of the guests who served as backdrops had arrived at the palace early. These people were very self-aware and understood that they were just invited by King Langya to fill in the numbers, and were not the birthday boy and guests of Mr. Zhang.
There is no need to worry that they will be depressed. Everyone who can come to the banquet will cherish this opportunity.
That’s King Langya!
If you can hug him on his lap, what else can you ask for?
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Sima Daozi is a rising star in the Jin Dynasty.
If only the light of this star could shine a little on me, wouldn't it be great?
"Your Highness, the boy from Juxian Tower is here. Where should we put these cold dishes?"
Wearing regular clothes and a crown of virtue, the man looks dignified and looks like an official at first glance. But what he is doing now has nothing to do with being an official.
I saw him rolling up his sleeves and bringing a small group of boys into the palace. He was still greeting Sima Daozi and waiting for his instructions.
"Send it over here!" Sima Daozi walked outside the kitchen and pointed inside. The boys immediately understood and got into the main room one by one, carrying their burdens.
The chefs of the royal palace are different from those of ordinary families. Generally speaking, the chefs of ordinary families are much smaller than those of serious main halls.
The situation in Prince Langya's Mansion was different. The kitchen was about the same size as a formal main room, with only the stove as much as one wall.
There are three rows of shelves filled with various ingredients. You can see all the common vegetables and fruits you can think of in Langya Palace.
Not only that, King Langya is a delicious person, and the cooks in his house are dedicated to him. All kinds of sauces are also Sima Daozi's favorite. Following the king's hobbies, the cooks also devote themselves to sauces.
Whenever I have free time, I mix fresh ingredients together to create new sauces.
In the spring, they made peach jam and expensive cherry jam, which Sima Daozi disliked because they were both sweet jams.
Later, they learned their lesson and just made salty sauce.
In order to welcome the distinguished guests, Sima Daozi also put a lot of thought into it. Not only did he prepare all his own dishes, but he also bought many specialty dishes from restaurants in the city.
Juxianlou is the largest restaurant in Jiankang City and is very famous.
It is no exaggeration to say that when foreigners come to Jiankang for the first time, as long as they have enough money, they often have their first meal at Juxian Tower.
It's so famous that everyone wants to try it.
Sima Yao was very ostentatious and had plenty of money. He ordered all the famous dishes in Juxian Building with a wave of his hand.
Yuan Yuezhi greeted the servants in Juxian Tower and then put down his sleeves. Guests began to come to the door, and he quickly ran to Sima Daozi's side.
"Your Highness, if there is anything else you need my help with, just ask."
Sima Daozi looked at him and had nothing to say.
As a civil servant, to reach this point, this old Yuan is really...
Being willing to be humble.
Although Sima Daozi used Yuan Yuezhi, he also looked down upon him. Just as Wang Gong and others expected, Yuan Yuezhi was just a knife in Sima Daozi's hand. When the knife became blunt and useless, Sima Daozi swung it.
You can just wave your hand and ignore him, so you won't have any pity for him.
"It's nothing important, Yue Zhi, why don't you go to the main hall to rest. You are a guest, and these things are not what you have to do in the first place."
What Sima Daozi said was true. Is there still a shortage of errand boys in the palace? He must be welcomed and escorted by an official on duty.
Yuan Yuezhi firmly disagreed.
"Your Highness, you're welcome. I'm not a distinguished guest. If it hadn't been for Your Highness's invitation, I wouldn't have had the chance to attend such a banquet."
"Your Highness, just ask, how about I go to the door to greet the guests?"
"I know most of these guests, so it's easy to arrange them."
As a civil servant with no background who was eager to climb high, Yuan Yuezhi knew very well that if he wanted to hold Sima Daozi's thigh tightly, he had to put his face aside.
No matter in terms of ability or character, Sima Daozi is mediocre. Is it okay to curry favor with such a person and save face?
Sima Daozi thought for a moment: "That's okay, just go ahead!"
This was Yuan Yuezhi's initiative, so why should he stop it? It would be good to make full use of resources.
With Sima Daozi's approval, Yuan Yuezhi ran away without saying a word.
