Chapter 684 Banquet
Chapter 684 Banquet
Xia Wanniang and Xiao Chiye still closed the door at home and refused visitors. The envoys from various countries no longer needed Qingfeng and his friends to accompany them, and they went to gambling houses and brothels every day.
In order to play, they have now learned to speak Daxia dialect fluently, which saves us the trouble of having to play with them.
Xiao Zisen and his family were also happy to have some free time, and they studied at home with their sister every day.
Yunhe came back after being away for a long time, but he was injured.
Xia Wanniang checked his injuries and said, "Fortunately, you took the antidote in time, otherwise you might not be able to survive."
Qingfeng's face was gloomy and a little scared: "What's going on?"
Yun He knew that he was worried and pulled his hand: "I didn't expect that he would find out."
Xiao Chiye: "Did he chase you here?"
Yun He shook his head: "I shook it off."
Xia Wanniang looked at Qingfeng and said, "It's okay. Most of the injuries are superficial. It's just that the weapon is poisonous. He has taken the antidote and it's not a big deal. He will be fine after a few days of rest."
Qingfeng nodded dully: "Who hurt you?"
"The Prime Minister and the Crown Prince, Zhong Li." Yun He said calmly.
Xiao Chiye frowned: "Why is he here?"
Qingfeng: "He is not on the list of the delegation."
Xia Wanniang: "So he entered secretly?"
Xiao Chiye: "I'm afraid so, and I'm afraid it's not just for attending Hanyu's wedding."
Yun He looked unhappy: "He went to the Ninth Prince's residence. Two cloaked men came out of the post station and walked away separately. I don't know where the other one went."
Xiao Chiye looked at Qingfeng and Xia Wanniang: "Do you think it's a trick, or did the other person go somewhere else?"
Xia Wanniang was a little unsure: "It's hard to say. I don't know what they discussed with the Ninth Prince."
Qingfeng looked at her and asked, "Can Mr. Qiu's people find out?"
Xia Wanniang shook her head: "If Zhong Li's martial arts skills are very high, then it is basically impossible, unless the Ninth Prince says it himself after he leaves."
Xiao Chiye: "No matter what, let's ask Master Qiu to see if he can find out. As for where the other person went, let's see if we can find him first."
Xia Wanniang looked at Yun He and said, "Take a good rest first, we will take care of the rest."
Xiao Chiye went to write a letter to Mr. Qiu, while Xia Wanniang sent a letter to Wu Xiao and Wu Hanyu in the palace.
It would be fine if the Prince of the Prime Minister appeared openly, but now that he suddenly appeared and went to meet the Ninth Prince in secret, things became a little different.
Xia Wanniang looked at Xiao Chiye and said, "My dear husband, we have been back for so long, isn't it time to invite our colleagues to our house for a meal?"
Xiao Chiye understood what she meant: "It is indeed time to treat everyone. I have already said it before, and it is time to fulfill my promise."
The next day, the two of them sent invitations to the homes of various ministers in the capital. As for whether they came or not, that was their business.
As for the food, she didn't order it. She just exchanged it from the space and asked Mr. Qiu to send it over in a disguised manner.
Chai Song looked at the ministers' wives who wanted to go in and said, "I'm sorry, ladies, this banquet requires an invitation. If you don't have an invitation, I can't let you in."
"Butler Chai, we really want to see the princess and the Duke of Zhenguo. Please let us in!" The wife of the Minister of Rites looked at Chai Song pleadingly.
Chai Song still smiled and shook his head: "I'm sorry ladies, the princess and the duke have said that only the guests who were invited to the banquet will be entertained today, and no one else will be seen. Please go back, don't embarrass a servant like me."
"Princess, Princess, Duke, Duke." When they saw that they were not allowed to enter, they could only shout desperately.
Yu Gaoyi's mother and his wife were naturally among the invited guests. Seeing the ladies next to them, they could only shake their heads and say, "Mom, let's go in."
"Mrs. Yu, Madam Yu, please take us in." A woman grabbed Madam Yu's hand.
Madam Yu waved her hand away: "Madam, you are joking. I don't have the face to bring you into the Duke's Mansion. If the Duke and the Princess blame us, we will be in trouble. I am really sorry." After saying that, she helped Madam Yu walk in.
