Chapter 512: banquet
Chapter 512 Banquet
Early the next morning, Rong Qingcheng got into the carriage ahead of time, and no one noticed.
No one knows about the fact that there is another person in the carriage besides Junli, except Eunuch Yu and Hei Yan.
The main reason is that the relationship between Rong Qingcheng and Junli has not been exposed yet, so few people know about Rong Qingcheng's journey together this time.
Jun Li walked out of the room, and the carriage was already full of guards and attendants.
Just as Junli was about to get into the car, Ding Xu, who was far behind the team, rode forward and said to Junli, "Your Majesty, there is a man following behind the team. I asked him a few words, and he said he knew you, Your Majesty, and he wanted to follow." Let's go together. I don't know how His Majesty thinks it will be handled well?"
Hearing this, Jun Li frowned, man?
"Let him follow, don't worry about it." Jun Li waved his hand, then turned and walked into the carriage.
Ding Xu heard that, after returning to the team on horseback, he ignored the man riding behind him.
Entering the carriage, Rong Qingcheng's lazy voice sounded, "Man? Do you still know you?" There was a hint of playfulness in his eyes as he spoke.
Jun Li sighed helplessly, stretched out his hand to hold him in his arms, and said lightly, "Well, we have met a few times. He is the only son of Mo Ye, the general who was exterminated a few years ago, Mo Changfeng."
Hearing this, Rong Qingcheng nodded, "Did the Yin people do it?"
Jun Li nodded, "They will never let anyone get in the way."
Rong Qingcheng was silent, and then said after a while, "Are you sure?"
Jun Li naturally knew the meaning of Rong Qingcheng's words, so he smiled and held his hand, "Don't worry."
The ambiguous answer obviously made Rong Qingcheng very dissatisfied, "No matter what, you have to protect yourself and don't let yourself get hurt, you understand?"
Junli nodded, his eyes were full of smiles.
Seeing this, Rong Qingcheng frowned, his eyes were full of worries.
Jun Li smiled lightly, rubbing his black hair lightly with his palm, and said, "Okay, you slept so late last night, you must have not slept well, go to bed quickly."
Hearing this, Rong Qingcheng nodded, and pulled Junli to lie on the bed in the carriage together.
The team moved very quickly this time, probably because of the delayed day.
In this way, on the afternoon of the sixth day since the departure from the imperial city, a group of people came to Jinzhou, which is full of flowers, dozens of miles away.
The officials of Jinzhou had already greeted them dozens of miles away from Jinzhou. When they saw the long line, officials of all sizes stepped forward to bow down. Then they headed towards Jinzhou together. Along the way, in addition to those Jinzhou officials, there were also two thousand officers and soldiers from Jinzhou, and they arrived in Jinzhou in the evening.
Entering Jinzhou, there were a lot of people along the way. Fortunately, officers and soldiers stopped him, and he arrived at the residence arranged by Jinzhou officials smoothly.
Mo Changfeng, who followed all the way, was also arranged in a room by Jinzhou officials. Soon, there were servants delivering hot water to each room.
Junli lived in a courtyard, and Ding Xu and Sima Lian lived in the courtyard on the left. That's right, Sima Lian also came. After all, this old guy knows a lot of things, and Junli brought almost everyone with him on this trip. As a young official, it's inevitable that he doesn't understand things, so it's not bad to bring this old guy who has gone through several dynasties.
The people living in the courtyard on the right are Shi Feng and Yu Chipin. Although the two are quite different in age, they miraculously hit it off.
After an hour, an official came to invite Junli to the banquet.
This time, almost all the officials from Jinzhou, big and small, were here, and a banquet was specially prepared for Junli, so after a good time, some officials volunteered to invite Junli.
Jun Li changed into a simple light gold dress that did not lose his identity, and Rong Qingcheng, who was wearing a crimson dress embroidered with begonia flowers, walked beside the official.
This is the boundary of Jinzhou, and it is also Rong Qingcheng's childhood home. So before Junli could speak, Rong Qingcheng spontaneously wanted to come to the banquet with Junli.
Regarding this, Junli also pondered for a moment, then agreed.
Came to the huge room where the banquet was held, all the officials inside stood up, and were about to kneel down, but they listened to Jun Li, "There is no need to be polite."
Hearing this, all the officials looked at each other and stood upright.
Junli glanced around, there were about 30 to 40 officials, large and small, which was half of the number of officials he saw in the afternoon.
Go to the highest position, pull Rong Qingcheng to sit down together.
The officials below had noticed Rong Qingcheng a long time ago, and couldn't help wondering.
When they went down to greet His Majesty, they didn't see such a man. No one sent someone to His Majesty's yard just an hour ago. Where did this man come from?
It is not only those officials who have this doubt in their hearts, but also Shi Feng, Sima Lian, Yu Chipin, and Ding Xu under Junli's right hand.
But in the current situation, no one asked. No one will even ask.
"Your Majesty, I remember that the last time I saw you was at your birthday banquet. I always thought that I would never admire your face again in this life. I never thought that I would see you again so soon. It's my luck, I respect you!" He drank the wine in the glass in one sip.
Junli saw his appearance and knew that it was Baili Qingzhou, the prefect of Jinzhou, so he showed a very faint smile on his face, and drank the wine in his glass.
Afterwards, officials big and small started toasting in turn. After a while, Junli drank more than a dozen glasses.
Seeing this, the stone seal below couldn't sit still. Standing up abruptly, he said to the officials, "Why do you respect your majesty, but not this general? Could it be that... you don't take this general seriously?"
After Shi Feng finished speaking, all the officials below looked at each other in blank dismay. Looking up, they saw that there was no displeasure on Jun Li's face, they all laughed and toasted Shi Feng.
Seeing this, Rong Qingcheng chuckled at the side, and said in a low voice, "This General Shi is quite protective of you."
Hearing this, the corners of Junli's lips slightly raised. I thought to myself that this aunt is pretty good.
After the toast, men dressed in light gauze walked in from the outside, and began to dance in the open space in the middle.
In this regard, the officials below all looked at the eyes without blinking. Only the few people brought by Jun Li watched indifferently.
Rong Qingcheng looked up at Junli, and said in a low voice, "Does it look good?"
Hearing this, Junli suddenly leaned closer to his ear, "It's pretty...but it's not as good as your dancing."
After finishing speaking, Rong Qingcheng smiled and replied in a low voice, "Then I'll show you the dance after I return to the room."
Junli nodded, then grabbed a grape and handed it to him.
Rong Qingcheng immediately returned a grape.
The two of them were having fun on the top, and the dance below was gradually coming to an end.
At the end of the last dance step, the man in the middle of the dance suit suddenly danced his sleeves lightly, and a long silk ribbon flew from his sleeves, and tied it to the beam behind Junli.
The next second, the man lightly stepped on the ground with his toes, and with the help of the silk belt, he flew up and fell towards Junli's arms.
