Chapter 221: The Reconstruction Night Banquet (Part 2)

Although the Lingxi Palace of the Wei State is not as elaborate as the White Jade Palace of the Qi State, it is not as colorful as the Jinyang Palace of the Chen State, it is not as fairyland-like as the Yilan Palace of the Shu State, and it is not as graceful and gorgeous as the Zhaohuang Palace of the Chu State.

, but Lingxi Palace once had pavilions, carved beams and painted buildings, and it was still much grander than the simple Zhao Guoning Palace.

Tonight, the Lingxi Palace was decorated with lanterns and rows of red lanterns, which illuminated the messy ruins that should have been hidden in the night.

Shu'er was dressed in Qi men's clothing, black clothes and red robes, with a Shu embroidered red ribbon on her head, but she did not wear the diamond-engraved plum hairpin given to her by her adoptive father. She and Zhuge walked calmly side by side, wondering why he had been so busy all day

Without saying anything to her, he suddenly asked: "Shu'er, it's fine for you to wear Qi men's clothing during the enthronement ceremony and the court meeting. After all, you are the left forward general of Qi. But tonight at the celebration banquet, you still

Wearing this men's attire from the State of Qi, don't you want to sit at the same table with your husband? At the banquet, wouldn't it be nice to be the wife of the first-class Duke of Wei and have me pick up the food for you and cover the wine for you?"

Seeing that there was no one around, Shu'er explained in a low voice: "Calm, it's not that I don't want to wear the Weiguo women's clothes you prepared for me, it's just that... before the court meeting, you should have heard what Qingyu said to me. He and

Neither Yifeng nor Yifeng is a talkative person, but he specifically said to me twice, "The King of Song personally went to save the female general of Qi", which was obviously a reminder to me that he had heard some rumors. If I dress up again,

Wouldn’t that make those rumors more solid?”

Zhuge calmly glanced sideways at Shu'er and asked, knowingly: "What rumor?"

Shu'er saw that Zhuge Congrong was a little abnormal, but she didn't know why he suddenly acted like this. She hid her anger and said, "I don't believe you haven't heard it."

Zhuge sighed calmly and said: "Isn't it just that King Liu of the Song Dynasty fell in love with the wife of the leader of the restoration alliance, the female general Yan of Qi? It's just that others don't know your life experience, how could I listen to such nonsense? You have been since childhood.

We grew up together, he is your brother, how could he not save you?"

Shu'er breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Just don't believe those nonsense."

Zhuge's calm tone was still cold: "Of course I don't believe what others say. But Shu'er, ever since you entered the Heavenly Prison of Song Dynasty once and entered the White Jade Palace again, your attitude and appearance when speaking to me have changed.

Change. I want to hear you tell me personally what happened."

Shu'er didn't know where to start, so she had to lower her head and say nothing. She knew that once she said this, it would be impossible for the two of them to fly together in this life. She was not willing to tell him. At least tonight, she wanted to be the one for the last time.

In front of many, many people, walking beside him, she became the wife of a first-class Duke of Wei.

The two of them were parked in the long alley outside Jialin Hall. One was speechless and the other was speechless. They only heard Qingyu shout: "Lord! Leader!"

Qingyu and Yifeng walked quickly to the two of them. Qingyu smiled and saluted: "Why are the leader and lord stopping outside to enjoy the cold wind? Let's go in together!"

Yifeng also saluted and said, "I heard that the re-establishment celebration banquet prepared by King Wei was very extravagant. We brothers are very curious!"

Shu'er smiled and glanced at Qingyu and Yifeng, who had inadvertently rescued her, and followed them towards the Jialin Hall. As they walked, she said, "Brother Qingyu, Brother Yifeng, I almost got you in trouble."

In the southern suburbs of Jade City, I will make a toast to today’s banquet and apologize to you two personally!"

Qingyu smiled and said: "It doesn't matter! Speaking of which, you are not the only one who is trying to trick us, there is also Su Yang from your Biliang Cosmetics Shop! When we were going around in circles in the Chen Kingdom, he was the one who sent the military order from the leader of the alliance, so that

Let’s go to Yudu.”

Yifeng nodded and said: "Now the dilemma is solved! My lord, there is no need to blame yourself."

Qingyu said: "Speaking of toasts, we brothers should toast to our lord. If you hadn't entered the battlefield in the southern suburbs alone and sent yourself to the Song Dynasty's heavenly prison..."

Yi Feng glared at Qing Yu, who immediately understood. He quickly glanced at Zhuge Rongrong who was standing behind the three of them, coughed and changed the subject, saying: "When we were in Chu State, we talked with Young Master Dongfang.

We talked about delicacies from various places and had a "paper talk" battle about the famous dishes of Shu and Chu. At that time, we couldn't decide the winner and found it boring, so for some reason, we started talking about "there are no delicacies in the country of Wei". Today

King Wei won’t entertain us with dishes from other countries at the National Restoration Banquet tonight, right?”

Shu'er steeled himself and said with a smile: "It must be that little little Dongfang who is making alarmist remarks again! Although Weiguo's dishes are not as famous as Diamond Jade and Weibao Sword, they are not so good that they can't even hold a celebration banquet. Let's go in

You’ll know just by looking at it.”

The four of them stepped into the Jialin Hall. Shu'er followed Zhuge Congrong and sat with him on the seat of the first-class Duke of Wei. Qingyu and Yifeng sat far away from them on the seat of the guest minister of Shu.

Before Shu'er could sit firmly, when she raised her head, she suddenly felt that the civil and military officials from all over the court and the guests from various countries in the Jialin Palace were looking at her, or at her husband, with strange eyes.

She pretended that nothing happened and started to look around. She saw that the Jialin Palace was well repaired, and the palace people were serving dishes and drinks one after another. Although the dishes looked ordinary, they were full of meat and fish, and they were definitely no worse than the food in the simple Zhao Palace... She

She wished she had looked at every furnishing in Jialin Hall, but she still felt that there were countless pairs of eyes in the hall looking at her with strange eyes, and looking at her husband with equally strange eyes.

She wanted to eat in silence, but King Wei hadn't arrived yet, and no one had touched their chopsticks rudely.

She sat with her chin propped up, staring at the roast chicken, roast duck, cabbage, and tofu in front of the table for a while, and then looked at the roast chicken, roast duck, cabbage, and tofu in front of Qing Yu and Yifeng's table in the distance, but she just refused to interact with any of them.

People's eye contact. She wanted to say something calmly to Zhuge beside her, but he was in a daze with no expression on his face, so she could only sigh softly.

At this time, she suddenly missed the Lin Ying who was afraid of the world being in chaos. As long as Lin Ying was around, she would never feel embarrassed. Lin Ying would always make all kinds of jokes with her without hiding anything, and she couldn't wait to see her.

Only when he ridiculed the people of the world would he feel comfortable. Even under the eyes of King Zhao, he dared to say that Zhao was poor... Even a tough guy like General Sun Kuo was subdued by his crooked tricks.

Post. Xiaoying, Xiaoying, if you were here, how on earth would you resolve the weird atmosphere here for your useless sister Shuer?

King Wei arrived belatedly, and the National Restoration Celebration Banquet began grandly. Ritual music, singing and dancing finally blocked Shu'er's strange gazes.

Although Zhuge Congrong frequently brought her dishes and told her which dishes were delicious with a smile, she could still vaguely feel something strange about him.

After three rounds of drinking, Zhong Kui, the deputy general under Chen Guozuo's forward general Feng Hui, stood up and limped over with a wine cup in hand. Shu'er felt that his smile was not friendly. He calmly said to Zhuge in a loud voice

: "Alliance leader, Zhong Kui gives you a toast! If your wife hadn't sacrificed her life for righteousness, my old Zhong would have been buried in the southern suburbs of Yudu with not only a leg, but also a life! Alliance leader, Mrs. Kenshe, save my 80,000 allied troops.

, You are truly unparalleled in your loyalty and filial piety! I, Lao Zhong, admire you!"

Zhuge stood up calmly, raised the wine cup in front of his desk, clinked a glass with Zhong Kui expressionlessly, drank the wine in one gulp, and asked, "Why did General Zhong say this?"

Zhong Kui glanced at Shu'er with a smile, picked up the wine jug in front of Zhuge Congrong, filled his own wine cup, and said to Shu'er: "Madam Leader, I think the title of First-Class Duke of Wei should actually be given to you.

!I didn’t expect that the cold-faced and ruthless King of Song could actually pull off a honey trap! Haha! Although I, Old Zhong, are a rough man, but for the restoration of the country and the smooth reunification of the Four Kingdoms Army Alliance in Dongyang, who has the greatest credit?
