The queen and the imperial concubine naturally sat on the emperor's left and right hands, while the cousins ​​sat on the ground. Although they were relatives, there was a difference between men and women. They were separated from the queen and imperial concubine's seats in the middle.

In this way, a round table seemed to divide them into two parts.

Zhu Feng took his two concubines and seemed to be confronting their three brothers in the Chen family.

Just thinking about this, Nan Yan couldn't help but smile in his heart.

How is that possible?

At this time, a group of palace maids walked in from outside, holding dishes in their hands, and came forward to cloth dishes on the round table one by one. Since it was a family banquet, the dishes naturally would not be as luxurious as in the state banquet in the past, but they were also delicacies, with all kinds of food, very rich.

Zhu Feng glanced at the three of them again and said, "You guys."

Chen Zixiao immediately understood what he was going to ask and said, "Prince, please don't worry, our three brothers are considered fire-honored, and their diet is no different from ordinary people."

Zhu Feng said: "That's good."

So, I raised the wine glass in my hand first: "Come."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Everyone raised their glasses and drank them first.

Then, the seat started.

Since it was a family dinner, there was naturally no unnecessary etiquette. Everyone ate and chatted about some gossip. Among the three brothers of the Chen family, Chen Zixiao and Chen Yiliu probably did not talk much because of their practice in Taoist temples, but they did not talk much, but they would answer questions.

But Chen Xuan blinked his bright eyes and looked at everything around him. He was obviously very curious about this world that was completely different from the Taoist temple on the mountain, and asked everything he grabbed.

So, the atmosphere is quite harmonious.

At this time, Ye Zheng walked in from outside again, approached Zhu Feng's ear, and said a few words very lightly.

Zhu Feng nodded and said, "In the Changqing City, let Wen Ye go back to guard immediately and do not have any problems."

"yes."

Ye Zheng left.

Nan Yan looked at him and originally wanted to ask, but she was concerned about "the harem cannot interfere in politics". Even at the family dinner, she was unwilling to give up this statement.

However, Chen Zixiao watched Ye Zheng leave and said, "Is the emperor going to send troops to Changqing City now?"

Zhu Feng glanced at him: "Do you know?"

Chen Zixiao said: "After coming here, I heard about the rebellion of King Ning. The battle of the emperor surrounded Wei and rescued Zhao, and the battle to remove firewood from the cauldron was extremely exciting. This battle was enough to contain the art of war."

Zhu Feng looked at him with some surprise.

"You have seen the art of war?"

Chen Xuan, who was standing beside him, immediately said: "Your Majesty, Brother Zixiao has been learning military tactics from his adopted father since he was a child."

"oh?"

Zhu Feng was even more surprised.

"Didn't you follow him to practice?"

Chen Zixiao was silent for a moment and immediately said, "When we were young, my uncle was still in Wudang Mountain. He took us with the people there to practice martial arts every morning and cultivate the foundation. Later, after going to Lingtian Mountain, my uncle began to learn military arts with Caomin. Over the years, I have read books on military arts."

"I see."

After hearing this, Zhu Feng did not have too many expressions on his face, but there was light in his eyes, which flashed slightly.

After a while, he smiled and said, "I have heard from someone that my uncle was also a powerful general back then, and he made countless contributions under the command of Emperor Gao. Since you were taught by him, you must have extraordinary insights into military tactics."

"I dare not. With the emperor here, the grass people dare not show off their skills."

Chen Xuan, who was standing aside, smiled and said, "Brother, you are humble again. My adoptive father said, "You have learned his true teachings. Isn't you just telling you to contribute more to the emperor this time?"

Chen Zixiao's face darkened: "You are talking nonsense again."

Chen Xuan hurriedly lowered his head: "Oh."

Compared to the emperor who was here, he seemed to be more afraid of this elder brother.

Zhu Feng looked at them for a while, then smiled and said, "Zixiao, you don't have to underestimate yourself. Since the old uncle has an explanation, you might as well stay in the court, just right."

He said, turning to look at Xu Miaoyin: "I was discussing with Shifeng before that the court was employed, and I, a brother, can go to the army to experience it."

“…”

Xu Miaoyin's face was slightly stunned.

But immediately smiled and said, "The Emperor arranged it."

Chen Zixiao said: "Thank you, Your Majesty."

Zhu Feng waved his hand, looked at Chen Yiliu next to him, and said, "Yiliu is also a martial arts student?"

Chen Yiliu smiled and said, "Yiliu has been weak since childhood. After practicing in Wudang Mountain for those years, she only avoided some diseases, but she cannot practice martial arts."

"oh."

"Fortunately, Priest Shouzhen was a scholar before he became a monk. Over the years, Yiliu has been learning literature with him."

Zhu Feng said: "So that's it. Yesterday, I talked with Master Shouzhen and found that although he was a monk, he had a broad knowledge and had a unique vision for things. He was not a vulgar person. You are his disciple, and I think he was not a vulgar person."

Chen Yiliu smiled and said, "The emperor praised it, and the people were ashamed of being too proud of it."

Finally, Zhu Feng turned his head and looked at Chen Xuan. Chen Xuan kept smiling aside. At this time, he felt the emperor's gaze looking at him and immediately sat upright.

"Emperor, Emperor..."

Zhu Feng said: "Chen Xuan, where are you?"

"I me"

Chen Zixiao sighed and said, "Over the years, he has only learned to cause trouble on the mountain. If the emperor really wants to ask him what he has, he only has this ability."

Chen Xuan immediately said: "Brother, don't tear my platform."

Everyone laughed, and even Zhu Feng laughed.

However, Nan Yan sat quietly aside, looking at their smiling faces, and found that although Xu Miaoyin was smiling, there was no smile in her gentle eyes.

Next, although the family dinner ended very happily during Chen Xuan's jokes, Xu Miaoyin didn't say a word until the end.

After the ceremonies were dispersed, everyone dispersed.

Nan Yan returned to Furong House and sat on the couch, unable to straighten his waist. He just leaned against the straight, and Ran Xiaoyu walked up and served her tea, while saying, "What's wrong with the empress? I've been busy all day and night before, and I haven't seen you so tired. Today I'm just going to have a meal, so tired?"

Nanyan took the tea and took a sip.

Then he smiled meaningfully and said, "Do you think it's just a meal?"

Ran Xiaoyu opened her eyes wide in surprise and looked at her: "What's wrong?"

“…”

"Just just now, when I passed by Yishoutang, I didn't look very good when I saw the Queen walking in."

“…”

"Is something wrong?"
