Chapter 417 Toast
The emperor... the emperor has gone too?!
Mrs. Shi was shocked and stood up from the chair. As a result, she felt dizzy because she was getting up too hard and fell back.
How could the emperor surrender to the nobles to eat the Ji family’s wedding banquet?!
Well, it was beyond the plan for the Emperor to go to Ji's house for a banquet. However, after staying in the palace for a long time, he wanted to leave the palace for some breath. He temporarily wanted to steal the right prime minister's sedan chair and left the palace. The right prime minister followed behind and walked to accompany the emperor to go shopping.
The emperor walked around and went shopping under the guise of understanding the people's sentiments. He heard that Duke Yu and Old Mrs. Zhang went to Hongxinglou to eat the Ji family's wedding banquet. The emperor also left Hongxinglou on a whim.
At that time, the Prince of Dongping and the others were greeting guests in the restaurant. The servant was facing the gift list outside. Only those who gave the gifts went to the restaurant to eat the table and stopped the emperor.
emperor,"……."
Wen Xuan walked out and saw the emperor and said, "Folk customs, even if you are the emperor, you have to follow the gifts to enter."
The emperor was so angry that he wanted to beat Wen Xuan and asked him to help Master Ji welcome the guests. That's how he greeted him?!
However, drinking is a gift, and it is normal for the emperor to take off the jade pendant worn around his waist and use it as a gift.
Wenxuan led the emperor into the restaurant. Ulala, and the guests downstairs knelt all over the ground. After the emperor asked them to waive the gift, he went upstairs.
The largest private room upstairs is Furong Room, where Duke Yu, Old Master Zhang, Old Ge Lao, Gu Shanchang, King Dongping, Hou Yunyang, Bo Suning, and Duke Xingguo...
Eight people happened to have a table. After the emperor entered the house, Duke Xingguo automatically felt that he saluted the emperor and stepped back. He went to the next table to squeeze with the people. He thought that Duke Xingguo was a dignified person, but even had a drink and squeezed with the people. No one believed him.
There were many discussions upstairs and downstairs, but most people were shocked and incredible. Even if Wen Xuan got married, the emperor might not necessarily come to Yu Country to congratulate him. Moreover, the Ji family is only a third-rank official and is not in Kyoto.
Although Ji Qingning was strange, she was only happy. So many people came to eat Ji Qingning's wedding banquet, which was enough for Ji Qingning to gain a foothold in the Shi family. Unexpectedly, such a bomb-level figure came, which was enough to make the Shi family stunned.
If the Shi family knows a little, they should know that Ji Qingning is not something they can bully. Ji Qingning is relieved.
With the emperor here, the atmosphere became much more serious. The emperor said, "I pretend to leave the palace and come for a banquet. You guys don't have to be restrained."
Old Master Zhang said, "It's too unsafe outside the palace, the emperor..."
It was so disappointing to say this. The emperor said, "With Duke Yu and so many ministers here, Mr. Zhang, don't worry. When the banquet ends, Duke Yu will send me back to the palace."
Mrs. Zhang has no objection to this arrangement.
After not seeing Ji Qingning come up to toast for so long, it was a disrespect to the emperor. Old Master Zhang just pretended that Ji Qingning was so busy that he was stunned and ordered the servant, "Let Master Ji go upstairs to toast."
I didn't say anything to the emperor, everyone here is qualified to drink the wine that Ji Qingning respected.
The emperor smiled and said, "Wine is harmful to your health, so she doesn't need to toast, let Wen Xuan and the others come."
Old Mrs. Zhang, “…???”
He did not agree with drinking a lot of wine at a young age, but when the emperor arrived at the Ji family banquet, he didn't even toast a glass of wine, which was too unreasonable.
However, the emperor asked Wen Xuan to come, but the servant dared not disobey and hurried downstairs to pass the message.
Ji Qingning and the Prince of Dongping responded differently.
"Don't I need to go?" Ji Qingning was surprised.
"Let's go?" Prince Dongping was shocked.
The few of them spoke almost in unison with Ji Qingning.
Wen Xuan stared at Ji Qingning tightly, making Ji Qingning feel uncomfortable all over. If she acted like this, she might expose her daughter at any time.
Ji Qingning felt guilty when he was stared, but he became more and more righteous. "The emperor asked me to do anything to you, so I'm not polite. I'm just hungry, so I'll find a place to sit down and have a meal."
Everyone was absolutely overwhelmed.
Please, this is the Ji family's banquet for girls to send their daughters to the cabinet. No one else in the Ji family is in Kyoto, only Master Ji is the only one. He should be so busy that he will not touch the ground. He doesn't say he can drink a glass with everyone, at least he should toast a glass at each table. As a result, the emperor did not let him drink, and he, the master, sat down to have a meal like a guest.
This, this, this...who is holding a drink?
The guests upstairs and downstairs were more confused, but no one dared to say that the emperor's arrangement was inappropriate.
Then Wen Xuan went upstairs and started to greet the emperor. The emperor looked at Wen Xuan and said, "Let your father and uncle save snacks and get married early."
I never forget to urge my marriage all the time.
Wenxian said, "I'm not in a hurry to get married."
The emperor smiled and looked at Yu Guo justice, "One day he will get married, it will be a year or two to drag him down. I think he is anxious."
Duke Yu did not respond. The emperor had to be serious about what he said, which could be regarded as an imperial edict.
My son is not in a hurry, he is still in a hurry to hold his grandson.
It really doesn't work, so I can only welcome my daughter-in-law and grandson into the door and drive my son out.
For no reason, Wen Xuan felt a chill on his back.
Tang Jing toasted, and toasted to his father, Marquis Yunyang, Marquis Yunyang said, "You should also hold on to me."
Tang Jing muttered, "What's the point of getting married? I'll urge you to meet."
Marquis Yunyang wanted to beat his son, "It's not good to get married. Can Master Shi get married twice?!"
Tang Jing, “….”
Can't refute.
The people stayed in this room were depressed, and after toasting, they quickly left.
When I went to other private rooms to toast, I was calm and relaxed. Even if I were mingling with my father and colleagues in the officialdom, my father could talk a few words, just like a fish in water.
He greeted him upstairs, then went downstairs, and a servant came over and said, "A Taoist priest came outside the door, saying that it was Mr. Ji and your friends who added three copper gifts to come in for a banquet."
Taoist priest?
Their friends?
Is it the Taoist priest who said that Master Ji is not suitable for drinking in the past few months?
He was about to look for him.
Lu Zhao and Zhang Ge Lao's granddaughter, the eldest daughter of the Zhang family, got married. The Prince of Dongping even had a son. Although Wen Xuan did not, the emperor might marry him one day, so he could not fall too far behind.
The Taoist priest said before that his marriage was the most smooth, but it was so smooth that even people couldn't see it. This was unreasonable.
Tang Jing walked out quickly and saw the Taoist priest standing there, touching the hexagram sail that was struck by the wind and rain with his hands. He thought that if he could get money today, the first thing to do was to exchange the hexagram sail, which was his presence.
Seeing Tang Jing come out, the Taoist priest's eyes shone golden light-
God of Wealth is here.
Tang Jing came up and smiled, "The Taoist priest is here too."
The Taoist priest smiled and said, "My eldest master Ji and I are also old acquaintances. When the Ji family is doing a wedding, I should come to congratulate you."
Only by establishing a good relationship with God of Wealth can he survive in Kyoto.
