38. Banquet

Three days later, at Youshi (7 p.m.), Chu Yunqing, who had been recuperating for many days, took a bath and carefully put on the clothes he bought.

A sky-blue silk shirt with a cotton lining, deerskin boots, and a jade-encrusted waistband. He was dressed in a military style, which is exactly what wealthy people in today's world wear.

He always likes to wear long gowns instead of long robes and cloaks, because deep down he still has the yearning for scholars, and because Chu Huanyu is a scholar, he doesn't want to look too rough.

But there is no choice. Even if his energy and blood are restrained now, his nine-foot figure has been finalized. Even though he looks heroic and well-proportioned, compared to ordinary people, he is still too burly and more like a martial artist.

Chu Yunqing had no weapons, and if he wanted to go to the banquet, he would not be allowed to bring weapons in.

Ai Xiaozhou didn't have an invitation, not because Gu Meishu didn't give it to her, but even if it was given, it would be inconvenient for her to go.

She is a royal guard, a personal soldier of the emperor. It has always been an unwritten rule that no matter whether it is the birthday of a court official or the birthday of a concubine in the harem, the royal guard can never participate.

Of course, in private, it is inevitable that there will be people who are sophisticated, but at least they will not appear at such a banquet.

Jin Yiwei cannot interfere with the harem, let alone be friendly with the court officials.

Besides, Ai Xiaozhou only belongs to one hundred households, and the princess's invitations are all carefully selected and will not be given to her. Let's take the invitations from Gang Leader Chu. If Gu Meishu hadn't helped, who would have known about his status?

Therefore, it was just a joke before. Ai Xiaozhou would not accompany Chu Yunqing to the banquet, but she chose the gift. Who made Chu Yunqing a pauper now?

"I heard that the Crown Princess's health has not been very good, with shortness of breath and blood deficiency. This blood coral can be regarded as a rare treasure. It can nourish blood and nourish Qi."

Ai Xiaozhou said as he carried the beautifully wrapped gift and stuffed it into Chu Yunqing's hand.

Chu Yunqing asked: "Doesn't this cost a lot of money?"

Ai Xiaozhou said casually: "Two hundred taels, maybe."

Chu Yunqing couldn't help but clicked his tongue, "I'm here to see Gu He, and I'm not really going to celebrate his birthday. Why do I need to bring such an expensive gift?"

"So, you want to make an empty box and pretend to be fooled?" Ai Xiaozhou asked.

Chu Yunqing nodded, that was what he had planned in his heart. Anyway, after talking to Gu He, it would be over. He didn't know what would happen by then. The banquet would definitely be unfinished, and there might even be some trouble.

So isn't this gift given in vain?

Ai Xiaozhou chuckled lightly and stepped forward to straighten his collar, "I just thought that you might be reckless, so I'll take this as an apology in advance."

Chu Yunqing was stunned.

"But others may not look down upon it. After all, those who can go to the banquet must be from the prince's line. There are countless dignitaries and they only have two hundred taels of silver, which is a dinner for them on weekdays." Ai Xiaozhou said.

"A dinner?" Chu Yunqing said subconsciously.

Ai Xiaozhou nodded, "So, if you really make the prince lose face, you will have to escape from the capital."

Chu Yunqing's expression changed and he said seriously: "I won't cause trouble."

Ai Xiaozhou smiled and said, "Then, when you come back, you will make a lot of money."

"Making money?" Chu Yunqing was puzzled.

Ai Xiaozhou rolled her eyes at him, "Why, you man, you still want me to support you?"

Chu Yunqing's face turned red.

Ai Xiaozhou snorted softly and clicked his little tiger teeth, "It's okay to keep you a free man, but this gift is for other women, you have to make up for it for me!"

Seeing her appearance at this time, Chu Yunqing looked a little cute and naive, so he couldn't help but stretched out his hand and rubbed her hair.

But this move was too presumptuous and disrespectful. After rubbing it twice, he felt a little stiff.

Ai Xiaozhou narrowed his eyes, with a slightly dangerous look in his eyes.

"Okay, now you are bolder and dare to touch me." She saw that Chu Yunqing needed to look up. At this time, she raised her fair neck and opened her small mouth, "Sure enough, you are worthy of being in the Jiaofang Division."

Someone who spent the night.”

Chu Yunching suddenly felt embarrassed and quickly stopped his hand. Just looking at her rosy little mouth, his mouth felt a little dry.

Ai Xiaozhou jumped up and slapped him on the forehead, "Why are you still in a daze? If you delay any longer, you won't be able to enter the banquet!"

Chu Yunqing quickly regained consciousness and hurried out carrying the blood coral.

"Then I'll go first. Leave the door open for me tonight and I'll definitely come back." He waved his hand back.

Ai Xiaozhou looked at his hurried back and couldn't help but smile, "Stay open and talk nonsense."



I heard Yan Changyu say before that the wine in Xianrenju was so delicious, and if he could indulge in a day of indulgence, he would be frivolous in the world and get drunk in Xianrenju.

So Chu Yunqing often thought about the regret of Yan Changyu coming here.

It's just that Yan Changyu died later, and he had a lot of troubles, so he never had the chance to come, but he did come this time.

Immortal Residence, a three-story restaurant, has a long street in front of the door, with lights like daylight, countless cars and horses stopping, and people coming and going, making it very lively.

Today's Immortal Residence has been reserved by the East Palace, and of course these people are here to celebrate the birthday of the Crown Princess.

Chu Yunqing came here using Qinggong. Although he was not tired, the journey was stained with dust. He could not compare with the dignitaries who rode in carriages and enjoyed the service of the maids in the carriages.

And just by standing together, you can see the difference in their identities.

However, Chu Yunqing has a handsome appearance and a majestic figure. He is also a talented person with extraordinary prowess. No one would really look down on him as a commonplace person.

He dusted off the dust on his hem, handed the invitation to the door of the Immortal Residence, and put the gift aside.

When the young man saw someone, he first looked at the invitation. There was no official title on it, and no detailed identification. Instead, there was only a name. He immediately understood - this was a relative or friend of someone who came to the banquet today.

Accepting such an invitation of approval.

Looking at the gift again, he only carefully opened a crack, and the old chaofeng who was responsible for collecting the gifts could see clearly.

"Chu Yunqing, a pair of blood corals." Lao Chaofeng wrote on the gift list.

"Please come inside." The young man smiled and raised his hand in vain.

When dealing with others, he usually calls him 'Sir' or 'Sir', and some respectable people in the world of martial arts call him 'Xia'. But for Chu Yunqing, this young man already regarded him as a trustworthy person to make connections.

Yes, of course I won't take too much care of you.

Naturally, Chu Yunqing didn't care. He just nodded and went straight into the immortal residence.

Xianrenju Xianrenju, since it is named "immortal", the layout and decoration of this store is naturally full of fairy spirit and elegant.

Murals and screens related to attaining Taoism and becoming immortals are indispensable; then there must be paintings of bright moons, mountains and rivers, and misty rivers on the lampshades; there must also be carvings of colorful clouds and strange animals on the tables, chairs, benches, beams and pillars of the house;

There are chopsticks and chopstick tubes, even bonsai rocks, etc.

In short, wherever you look, there must be something related to the legendary immortal.

But in fact, who has actually seen an immortal?

No one knows whether immortals exist, and all the wonders related to immortals decorated in the center of this immortal place come from the long-standing rumors of Taoism and those alchemists.

After all, alchemists who are proficient in mystical arts will eventually ascend to immortality, especially now that they can even refine the elixir of life.
