The concubine is so charming

Chapter 304 Practice Banquet

The carriage gradually drifted away, and a neat voice of blessing came suddenly: "May Xiangye live a long life!"

The sound was so loud that it soared into the sky, and the birds in the forest couldn't help being alarmed.

Su Yao's eyes trembled, and he turned to look at Chu Feiyan who was beside him: "The blessings of the people are sincere."

Chu Feiyan held Su Yao's hand tightly, and after a pause, he responded softly: "Yes."

"May Xiangye live a long life!"

The sound of blessings continued one after another, until the carriage completely disappeared, and the people kneeling on the ground gradually got up.

The carriage drove all the way into Rongcheng. If they want to return to Kyoto, they still have to go by water. The wharf in Rongcheng is the nearest place.

"Master Xiang, Prince Mu is here." The famous minister reported from outside the carriage.

Chu Feiyan raised his eyes: "Does Yao Er mind?"

Su Yao held Chu Feiyan's hand, and shook his head with a smile on his lips: "What do I care about?"

"Then let's go see this Mu Shizi again."

Mu Cixiu followed the officials of Rongcheng, seeing Chu Feiyan getting off the carriage and then turning to face the carriage and stretching out his hand, his heart tightened.

A pair of fingers as slender as jade stick out, just when everyone was surprised, Su Yao stepped out of the carriage slowly, revealing the whole picture.

Many Rongcheng officials took a deep breath: This...is this Mu Ninghua?

Su Yao wore an embroidered double butterfly blouse on the upper body, and a purple silk emerald skirt on the lower body. The butterfly embroidery was lifelike, trembling as if it was about to fly out of the shirt.

The most beautiful thing is a human being, with a perfect head and crescent eyebrows, and a gorgeous posture. On a gorgeous and unparalleled face, the delicate eyes are like a piece of clear water glass, clear and transparent, free from dust, and the tails of the eyes are slightly raised, with a charming smile Intentionally, the slender eyelashes blinked lightly, and each stroke seemed to be able to touch people's hearts and seduce people's hearts.

No wonder this Ms. Mu can be favored by Chu Feiyan. This unparalleled beauty has always been a sharp weapon for attacking men. Let me ask you, in such a powerful position as Master Chu, besides a beauty, what else can make him treat him differently? Woolen cloth?

Just when everyone was amazed, they suddenly noticed an icy chill erupting from Mu Cixiu's body. They immediately lowered their heads and didn't dare to look at them again, for fear that the gods would fight and implicate mortals like them.

Mu Cixiu's face was cold, and the breath around his body was like condensed frost: "I have seen Prime Minister Chu."

Chu Feiyan's breath is soft, but if you probe carefully, you can find that after the softness is an inviolable thickness: "Master Mu, don't be too polite."

"Thanks to Prime Minister Chu's arrangements and coordination for this disaster relief, today I heard that the prime minister is leaving for Beijing, so I prepared a little wine in the mansion, hoping to use this to practice for the prime minister."

"It's been a long time since I left the capital, and the emperor has ordered me to return several times. It is really inappropriate to delay any longer, so the banquet is unnecessary."

"During this period of disaster relief, Mr. Xiang has worked really hard. I heard that you usually eat the same food as the victims of the disaster. You look much thinner than before. Mr. Xiang is not in good health. Now you have done so much for the victims of the disaster and the people of Rongcheng. The matter, when we returned to Beijing, we couldn’t even have a banquet, it really made us feel uneasy, so please don’t refuse, Mr. Xiang.”

As Mu Cixiu said, he turned his attention to Su Yao again: "Although Princess Zhaohua has severed ties with Prince Rong's Mansion, she still has blood ties. This time, Prime Minister Chu came to the capital for relief. As for passing through the house without entering?"

Su Yao slightly bowed his knees and saluted, and the smile on his lips deepened: "Mu Shizi tried so hard to invite Xiangye and me to Rongwang's Mansion, isn't it a Hongmen banquet that never returns?"

Mu Cixiu chuckled lightly: "Princess Zhaohua thought too much, just to thank Xiangye, he specially set up a farewell banquet, besides, there are countless capable people and craftsmen around Xiangye, a small Rongwang Mansion, I'm afraid Can't trap him."

Su Yao turned to look at Chu Feiyan: "What do you think, Mr. Xiang?"

"Go and see."

In the following disaster relief, although there is no problem with the grain, those grain merchants are still being detained. Cixiu made a hindrance, and then made a fuss about those grain merchants.

There were quite a few Rongcheng officials accompanying him, but when they arrived at Rongwang Mansion, not many were qualified to sit down and have a banquet.

Su Yao didn't shy away from it, and as Chu Feiyan sat at the top, he and Chu Feiyan would chat and laugh in a low voice from time to time, looking defiant and arrogant.

Mu Cixiu's eyes moved lightly, suppressing the roiling emotions in his eyes, he filled his wine glass and toasted Chu Feiyan: "If there is no Prime Minister Chu for this disaster relief, there will never be a scene where the people are happy now, so this first A glass of wine to respect Xiangye, thank you Xiangye for turning the tide and finding a way out for many people."

Standing beside Su Yao, Wan Xiang saw that the maid of Rong Wang's Mansion was about to pour wine, so she blocked them directly, filled the jug with Su Yao and Chu Feiyan herself, and nodded slightly.

Seeing this, Su Yao withdrew her eyes lightly. Although she was sure that Mu Cixiu would not commit suicide by messing with this banquet, she still had to be cautious, so it was better to take precautions.

Chu Feiyan picked up the wine cup indifferently, and said, "I don't deserve a word of thanks from Mu Shizi for doing things for the people. After the practice banquet, I will go directly to the pier, but there is one thing that needs to be explained to Mu Shizi. "

Mu Cixiu put down the wine cup he was holding: "Please explain, Prime Minister."

"Previously, I was in a hurry and arrested a lot of grain merchants. Among them were those who hoarded strange things and had sinister thoughts. The food I get will be compensated according to the market price, and I will report it to the emperor and reward these people to make up for the previous apology. However, the former has a large number of people, many of whom are from Rongcheng, and need to be cleaned up by Mu Shizi For the legacy they left behind, additional troops were sent to escort these people back to the capital for interrogation."

Mu Shizi came to clean up the personnel left behind by the grain merchants, and still sent someone to escort them?
The officials at the side looked at each other in blank dismay. No wonder Prime Minister Chu agreed to come to the banquet. It turned out that he wanted to be a good person and put all the notoriety on Prince Rong's mansion.

Thinking in this way, they couldn't help but observe Mu Cixiu's face, and seeing that he nodded in response as usual, they couldn't help shaking their heads and sighing: That's right, in this situation, there is no room for him to refuse anything...

Back then, in their eyes, Chu Feiyan and Mu Cixiu were amazingly talented and brilliant people. They were the number one scholar, the second place in the list, the prime minister of the court, the prince's son, the one in charge of the court, and the one controlling the Rongcheng fiefdom. They are all people who can't help being amazed when they mention it, but they never thought that when these two fought against each other, one of them would lose so terribly.
