Chapter 1870 Since ancient times, there has been no good banquet
When I heard that Shengjing came, I almost couldn't hold the bowl in my hand and was about to fall. Fortunately, Hua Zhu quickly reached out to support the back of my hand, and was spared.
She said: "Miss Yan, be careful."
I smiled embarrassedly, lowered my head and took a bite of rice, then looked up at her: "Who is the person coming?"
If I guess correctly, it should be that Pei Yuanxiu agreed to Shengjing's conditions this time, but because most parts of Jiangnan were occupied, taxes could not be raised, and the treasury was empty, so his promise was not fulfilled, and Shengjing's people were going to come and suppress him.
Could it be that the person who comes at this time is—
Hua Zhu thought for a while and said, "I heard from them that it seems to be something, who is from the Eight Heavenly Kings."
The Eight Heavenly Kings...
My expression became slightly darker.
Although I didn't want to see Luo Shi, I could even say that I wish this person could disappear from the world immediately so that Master Huang could gain freedom, but in this situation, if Luo Shi did not appear again, it would be a bit unreasonable.
Xie Houqi went south to Jinling and discussed the general trend of the world with Pei Yuanxiu several times, but Luo Shi was not there.
The soldiers of Shengjing went south to help Pei Yuanxiu open the capital, without Luo Shi.
The people of Shengjing robbed the capital, and there was no Luo Shi.
If the Iron Sphur Prince had responded to the grassland before, he was the absolute leader of Shengjing, and even the Xie Houqi almost died at his hands, then now, the situation seems a bit strange.
Why hasn't Loche ever appeared?
Could this battle really have nothing to do with him?
Or is he busy with other things, what is important, even passing the war in the Central Plains?
And Huang Tianba, Master Huang, what about him now?
I was thinking a lot, and there was a sound of footsteps outside. The door was not closed. As soon as I looked up, I saw that Eunuch Liu was coming over with a few little eunuchs. When I saw me eating, I immediately said with a smile: "Miss Yan has a good appetite?"
I smiled: "Okay."
"That's good. Tonight, the young master held a banquet in the side palace. If Miss Yan's appetite was as good as it is now, the young master would definitely be very happy."
"Hold a banquet?" I looked up at him: "What are you doing for a banquet?"
"Today, when Shengjing's guests arrived, the young master specially hosted a banquet."
"Who else is going besides me?"
"Madam, Miss Zitong, Prince Xie Houqi, and his sister will all attend."
"oh……"
I nodded, looked down at the bowl of rice that was already a little cold in my hand, and put it on the table with a smile: "Then I will keep my stomach and wait for the food tonight."
Eunuch Liu smiled and said, "Miss Yan is joking."
After saying that, he turned around and wanted to leave. I stopped him: "Eunuch Liu, please stay. I have one more thing to ask my father-in-law."
He stopped immediately and looked back at me: "Miss Yan has any instructions?"
"That's right, the Empress Dowager... Her death day is coming soon. I have a deep relationship with her. I want to find time to go to the place where she used to live and pay tribute to her."
Eunuch Liu's eyes flashed and he looked at me: "Ms. Yan said that is Linshui Pagoda?"
"That's right, it's Linshui Pagoda."
"I'm afraid I can't do this."
"Oh? Why?"
"That place has been blocked for a long time, Miss Yan should know."
"But that was blocked in the past. Shouldn't it be--"
"After the young master entered the palace, the place was still sealed. A few days ago, he sent more people to guard there, so that no one could get closer. If Miss Yan was willing to pay tribute to the Empress Dowager, he would not care about the place, and the Empress Dowager would be kind-hearted and would not care about this with Miss Yan."
"So that's the case," I said with a smile: "Then I understand, thank you for your father-in-law."
"I'll leave."
He swung the whisk in his hand and turned around and left.
I sat quietly in the same place, Hua Zhu stood beside me, looking at me and said, "Miss Yan, you really won't eat anymore? It's still several hours before night, what should you do if you're hungry?"
I smiled and said, "I'm kidding. You ask them to heat up the soup and I'll have another bowl."
"Why."
Seeing me eating obediently, Hua Zhu happily went down to give orders. I sat at the table and looked at the delicious dishes on the table. Although my appetite was not good, I continued to eat with my chopsticks.
Since ancient times, there has been no good banquet.
I don't think that the banquet tonight can really make people eat it safely.

In a blink of an eye, it was night.
I cleaned up a little, combed my hair neatly, and then went out. Hua Zhuyunshan was still with me. They carefully protected me and walked out of the bedroom. They never let go of my arms along the way, as if they were worried that I would fall down if I didn't see it.
Fortunately, the side hall where Pei Yuanxiu held the banquet was closest to the bedroom, and he didn't even have to make a sedan chair. He arrived there soon.
As soon as I walked to the door, I saw the palace maids and eunuchs inside busy and busy. When I saw me, I hurried over and bowed down to salute.
I thought I came first, but as soon as I walked in, I realized that all the Han sisters had arrived.
Perhaps because she knew that the guests were invited to the banquet today were extraordinary, both of them had exquisite makeup, especially Han Ruoshi wore a thick and gorgeous robe and a head of pearls and jade, which looked really jewel-like. However, although she looked luxurious, she was full of belly and sat on the chair gave people the feeling of a lot of jewelry.
Thinking of this, I almost burst out laughing. I coughed lightly and wiped off a smile from the corner of my mouth with my handkerchief.
However, my smile was still caught. Xiaolian stood behind Han Ruoshi. When she saw me walking over, she immediately rolled her eyes. Especially when she saw my smile, her eyebrows immediately stood up. She turned her eyes and lowered her head to say in Han Ruoshi's ear: "Miss, this woman must have nothing good to do."
Han Ruoshi said softly: "Oh?"
She got closer and muttered in a low voice: "I saw that day that she and the second lady were talking and laughing with those wild girls."
"oh?"
Han Ruoshi frowned and glanced at her.
Xiaolian said, "I think they have colluded a long time ago. Someone pushed the lady down behind her back that day, maybe it was--"
This wasn't finished, but I didn't have to finish it, because I saw anger on Han Ruoshi's face.
However, just like this, she was not angry yet. Instead, when she saw me slowly walking to Han Zitong and sitting down on a chair not far away, her face became less beautiful.
