Chapter 1216 Have I Seen You
Feng Qingbai looked away from Ba Nian as if nothing had happened, and sized up the banquet hall.
Directly opposite is the Xiliang envoy group, and next to the envoy group is the Nanling speech officer, who is very talkative, and Wen Dou can't suffer.
In his non-voting attendance, there are Mr. Yuan, Liu Zhixia and other ministers who are useful to the emperor, and behind them are their respective family members, and further down are the senior officials of the third and fourth ranks of the court.
Looking at Liu Zhixia, Feng Qingbai looked behind him, and Fu Yuzheng also came, bringing Maodou.
Slightly surprised and raising his eyebrows, Feng Qingbai waved at Maodou, and Maodou immediately ran over excitedly, and when he got to his side, his voice was crisp and clear, "Uncle!"
It attracted the attention of the people around, and Fu Yuzheng blushed at his son's sound.
On this kind of occasion, the guests were entertaining envoys from other countries, and it was really inappropriate for the child to call King Nanling his uncle.
She didn't expect the prince to call the child over, so she didn't explain it well in advance, and now it was too late to teach her. Staring sideways at her surroundings, Fu Yuzheng quickly calmed down and asked her man for help.
The man just looked back at her with a smile, and handed her a fruit plate, "It's okay, the prince is very lonely by himself, let Maodou sit with him."
At the end, I also reminded, "Eat, there are grapes you like."
Fu Yuzheng really wanted to help her forehead, but she was too manly.
Finally, taking the opportunity of handing the man grapes, he whispered, "Do you really care?"
"Don't worry too much," the man picked up the grapes, "I'm here."
A smile overflowed from the corners of Fu Yuzheng's eyes. As soon as he shook her hand, he left her as soon as he touched it, but the temperature remaining on the back of her hand made her feel at ease.
She was not afraid of this kind of occasion, but worried that the childish talk would bring unnecessary trouble to the prince and Zhixia.
However, since he told her not to worry, she would not worry.
She is no longer the lonely and helpless Fu Yuzheng who can only support herself.
She has him.
The banquet was already opened, and after the emperor had said some words, there was singing and dancing in the center of the venue.
Old Yuan Yuan sat between Feng Qingbai and Liu Zhixia, his eyes half-opened and half-closed, his long eyebrows drooping slightly, and he looked old-fashioned. He seemed to be trying hard to listen to the songs and dances, but in fact the old man moved his mouth slightly, pulling Liu Zhixia to sigh.
"I didn't expect Nanling King to make a piece with your Maodou. It's not like him. It's too unlike him. The emperor has been with him since he was a child. When he was a child, he didn't get good looks from him."
Liu Zhixia smiled and said, "Being a father will naturally soften your heart, and the king of Nanling is not static."
"It makes sense." Yuan Lao nodded, and then changed the topic, "You didn't come when I invited you over to the house last time, and you never came to the door after that. No one played chess with the old man anymore. Do you think the old man won much?"
"Mr. Yuan misunderstood. It is a blessing for the juniors to get Mr. Yuan's advice on chess skills. It's just that the juniors have wives and children at home, and they are busy with work on weekdays. I don't have much time to spend with them, but when I have free time, I always think about it." Accompany them more to fulfill your responsibilities as a husband and father.”
Mr. Yuan was silent for a moment, then nodded, "You're right, you should do your best, while you still have the chance, so as not to regret it in the future... All right, when you are free, remember that the old man is here, come to Yuan anytime government."
"must."
Behind, Fu Yuzheng's eyes and brows are more affectionate.
She had heard a little about Mr. Yuan, who had a strange temper during the years she had been with the prince. The elder of the three dynasties, when he got old, he didn't take care of things very much, and rarely interacted with people in the court, so he was very withdrawn.
After so many years, Zhixia could make him look at him differently.
As for the reason why Yuan Lao looked at him differently, she could vaguely guess. Because Zhixia has no plans for him.
The elders of the three dynasties have their status, status and connections. Because of the utilitarianism of being an official, most of the people who crowded around him were not pure-minded, so Yuan Lao didn't like those people.
At such an advanced age, he always walks alone. Yuan Lao is actually very lonely.
Therefore, it is rare to meet someone who is pleasing to the eye, so I hold on to it.
While thinking about it, I felt that a line of sight always seemed to fall on me, and I followed it, and it was a girl sitting behind Yuan Lao, about seventeen or eighteen years old, with an oval face, almond eyes, a straight nose and a small mouth, a beauty Son.
This should be Yuan Lao's only great-granddaughter, Yuan Yunqiao.
Fu Yuzheng smiled at her, and the girl smiled back at her.
Soon some officials came to toast Yuan Lao and Liu Zhixia, distracting Fu Yuzheng's attention, so that she didn't notice that the girl's eyes were more on Liu Zhixia in front of her.
Compared to their two seats, Feng Qingbai's table was empty except for himself.
No one has the guts to propose a toast to King Nanling.
It's not that he doesn't want to, it's that he doesn't dare, the prince's power is too strong, and with a glance, the officials can't drink anymore.
Therefore, it is very clean, and edamame can be eaten happily in a clean environment.
"Uncle, where are Croton and Red Dou?"
"at home."
Maodou's eyes lit up, "Is it in the palace?"
"No, the home of Xinghua Village."
"Oh," Mao Dou languished, "I miss them, Uncle."
"En." Raising his hand to wipe the pastry powder from the corner of the baby's mouth, Feng Qingbai called the maid, "Let the imperial dining room steam a bowl of egg custard."
This kind of palace banquet was attended by adults, and apart from the snack and fruit plate, there was no food suitable for children on the menu.
Even if there was, no one dared to order the imperial dining room directly like the King of Nanling.
"Uncle, I want to drink sweet soup."
"No, bad teeth." After a pause, seeing the child's aggrieved expression, Feng Qingbai added, "Still fat."
"Grandma said fat people are cute." Maodou argued.
Uncle pointed to the only round envoy in the opposite envoy group, "It's so fat."
Maodou trembled, "Uncle, I don't drink sweet soup."
The man nodded in satisfaction.
The banquet was noisy, and there was still a distance between the banquets facing each other. Normal people could not hear what the people on the opposite side were saying. But this little distance is nothing to martial arts practitioners, and Ba Nian listened to the whole conversation between the two.
Darkness flashed across his eyes, he picked up the wine glass, got up and walked towards the opposite side.
"My lord, please stay safe."
The man raised his eyebrows, "Have I seen you?"
Ba Nian, "..."
The two of them knew well that the King of Nanling had been to Xiliang and stayed in the Xiliang Palace.
But it is true that the two have never met face to face, at least in Ba Nian's impression, he has never met King Nanling.
So what he said is safe and sound, which is not appropriate.
Then he was grabbed by the man and hit with a soft nail.
After all, Ba Nian is not an ordinary person, he returned to normal in a blink of an eye, raised his glass and said with a smile, "Ba Nian, the emperor of Xiliang, has admired the name of the prince for a long time, here, I would like to offer a toast to the prince."
After finishing speaking, he waited for the man's reaction with great interest. He felt that the King of Nanling didn't like him, and he didn't give him face when he met him. Will he take this glass of wine?
