Chapter 821 Farewell at the Chengqian Banquet
After leaving the Qianqiu Palace, Yu Wenye stepped on the gradually reddening sunset and walked slowly all the way. After a cup of tea, he arrived at the Chengqian Palace.
At this time, the weather was no longer too hot, but the fiery red sunset still gave people the illusion of being in a sea of fire. With the Qianqiu Palace he just left in mind, Yu Wenye couldn't help but feel a burst of heat. , but as soon as he walked to the door of Chengqian Hall, he immediately felt a cold wind blowing from inside.
The heat all over his body was driven away at once.
It even took away part of the heat from his body.
"His Royal Highness King Qin?"
Just when Yu Wenye was a little dazed, Aunt Hui's voice came from behind him again. He turned around and saw that familiar face that always had a fake smile on it. She was still full of fake smiles, and even because of the strong sunshine, her cheeks were coated with a layer of golden light, making her face look more like a mask. She curled her lips and said, "His Royal Highness has been waiting for a long time. Please come in quickly."
Yu Wenye said, "Okay."
After saying that, he turned around and walked in. , while Aunt Hui stood motionless at the door, It wasn't until he saw Yu Wenye's tall back disappearing from the gate of Chengqian Hall that the corners of his mouth that were deliberately kept upturned slowly fell down. Soon, his lips pursed into a thin line and suddenly became cold and stern. There was a bit of chilling air in his eyes.
She turned and left.
Separated by a wall, Yu Wenye had slowly walked into the main hall of Chengqian Hall.
This place, as he and Shang Ruyi had guessed before, had already been vacated. Although he had not been here many times before, he had a good memory and could clearly remember this residence that was originally supposed to be for the prince. How are the furnishings inside, where are the boxes and where are the cabinets, where are the tables and where are the stools, but now everything seems to have never appeared before. The entire hall is empty, giving people a sense of desolation.
Even though, there is a table in the center of the hall.
Behind the table, there was another person sitting.
As soon as he saw the tall figure and the almost transparent eyes that looked darker in the dim light, Yu Wenye's breathing tightened subconsciously, but the expression on his face did not fluctuate at all. , just stood in front of him, raised his hands, and was about to salute when another familiar, cold voice sounded next to him.
"Second brother, you are finally here,"
This time, Yu Wenye frowned. When he turned his head, he saw his third brother Yu Wencheng walking from the side hall.
His Royal Highness King Qi was wearing a dark golden robe. Even if the light was not bright, his whole body was shining brightly, giving people a domineering feeling. Yu Wenye only glanced at it, and his eyebrows He frowned subconsciously, but he didn't say anything more, and his cold eyes It fell on Yu Wencheng's face - the injured forehead was covered with a thick bandage, which was scary and worrying. Today, I saw that many of the bandages had been removed, leaving only a thin layer. He still suppressed the corners of his eyes and the ends of his eyebrows, making his tiger eyes one big and one small, giving off a somewhat gloomy look.
Yu Wencheng said with a smile: "Brother Huang and I have been waiting for you for a long time, and even the food and wine are almost cold. Shouldn't you punish yourself with three drinks first?"
"..."
Yu Wenye did not speak immediately, but watched him walk over in a swaggering manner with his hands behind his back. He walked to the table and sat down on his own without saluting himself. He looked calm and even a little shy. Yu Wenye couldn't help it. He said calmly: "Third brother, where did you go just now?"
"Me?"
Yu Wencheng did not expect that he would not answer the rhetorical question. He frowned, but he couldn't help but replied: "I'll go to the side hall of the emperor to see what's wrong?"
Yu Wenye said: " Oh, you also know that this is the Emperor’s Chengqian Palace.”
“…”
"What you just said, I almost thought that this is your place, and I came to your banquet."
"..."
Yu Wencheng's expression changed slightly, unexpectedly The first thing I said that I wanted to overpower him was that he found the opportunity to counterattack, and it was He hit the nail on the head, and there was no room for him to reply. He was immediately annoyed, and Yu Wenye no longer looked at him. He only bowed to Yu Wenzhen, who was sitting in front and looking at them without saying a word: "Meet Brother Emperor."
It was only then that Yuwen Sui moved.
He slowly raised his head, and his almost transparent eyes seemed to be invaded by the chill that penetrated his bones in the empty hall at this time, taking away all the warmth, including his His eyes were a bit cold, and he said slowly: "Second brother, please don't be polite. Please sit down."
"Thank you."
With that said, Yu Wenye walked forward and sat across from him.
At this time, Yu Wencheng finally came back from his anger, looked at Yu Wenye’s back, then at the empty pair of bowls and chopsticks opposite him, and then sneered: "Second brother is Thorough etiquette , but the emperor’s brother clearly invited you and the second sister-in-law, so why are you here alone? Why, doesn’t the second sister-in-law refuse to give face to the elder brother?”
Yu Wenzhen’s long eyelashes trembled slightly. For a moment.
Yu Wenye said calmly: "Since your name is Ruyi Second Sister-in-law, don't you know that your second sister-in-law is about to give birth?"
"..."
"Brother Emperor, Ruyi is not feeling well. The people from the Imperial Medical Office have gone over to wait for orders. I am afraid that she will give birth in the next two days or today. I don't want anything to happen to her, so let me She stayed in Qianqiu Palace. I think eldest brother should be able to understand her."
Yu Wenzui was silent. After a while, he slowly raised his hand and picked up the wine glass on the table: "That's fine."
"..."
"Since our father's rebellion, we three brothers, There are very few opportunities to get together. Today is a rare occasion. This cup is a tribute to our brotherhood.”
Having said this, he raised his eyelashes and looked at Yu Wenye: "Feng Chen, we are still brothers." Yu Wenye's eyes flickered for a moment, and he immediately smiled and said: "Brother, you are joking."
“……”
“Same clan, same clan, same surname and same father, how come we are not brothers?”
Yu Wenzhen looked at him and said lightly: “Same clan, same clan, same surname and same father, maybe we are still brothers; but if we don’t agree, then It’s hard to be a brother.”
Yu Wenye said: "Everyone has his own intention, so naturally it is difficult to agree. However, since the return of the emperor brother, among the three of us brothers, who has not tried his best for the great cause of the father? How can such concerted efforts not be regarded as unity?"
At this moment, Yu Wencheng on the side suddenly said: "Second brother, The great cause of the father will also be handed over to the emperor in the future. In this case, if we work together, we can be considered as one for the emperor."
"..."
"In this case, let's work together. We are still brothers.”
“……”
"You said that, right?"
As soon as his words fell, the originally quiet Chengqian Hall suddenly fell into an unspeakable silence.
Yu Wenye lowered his head and looked at the swaying drink in the cup. Two pairs of eyes that were distorted by the ripples were reflected on the water. He was silent for a long time, and then slowly raised his head, with cold eyes. Yu Wencheng said: "The third brother Guo Of course."
Yu Wencheng said: "Brothers and friends are respectful to each other, this is what we should do."
Yu Wenye said: "If this is the case, the third brother knows that brothers and sisters are respectful to each other. Do you know that there is order between elder and younger? ”
"..."
"This banquet was hosted by the emperor's brother, and this cup was also proposed by the emperor's brother. Is it in line with the righteousness and etiquette of brothers to overstep one's duties like this?"
"This-"
Yu Wencheng froze. Unexpectedly, as soon as he opened his mouth, he was blocked again. When he came back, an angry look suddenly appeared on his face, but it was difficult to get angry. Yu Wenye had already turned to look at Yu Wenzhen and said calmly: "Brother, please don't worry too much. You and I are brothers and will always be." "
Yuwen looked at him silently and said, "Okay."
After saying that, the two of them raised their glasses. Although Yu Wencheng on the side looked unhappy, seeing that Yu Wenzu was raising his glass to drink, he couldn't say much. He could only drink the wine in the glass with his two brothers. Drink it all.
After finishing the glass, Yu Wenzhen personally picked up the jug and poured wine for all three of them.
When the last drop of wine fell into the glass, Yu Wenye also picked up the wine glass and said to Yuwen: "Brother, third brother, I will toast you with this glass."
Yu Wen Su Xin raised his head and looked at him, his eyes still dim, but he didn't know if it was because of what he had done just now. The drink was a bit hasty and the wine was a bit strong. The ends of his eyes were slightly red, making him look very different from usual - usually he was calm and indifferent, like a clear white cloud, but Now, the white clouds are still white clouds, but they seem to have thousands of thunderbolts hiding in them.
Probably because of this, he did not speak.
Yu Wencheng sneered and said: "What do you want to respect us for, second brother?"
Yu Wenye looked at him, then looked at Yuwen Sui, and said: "You and I know the truth, and there is nothing to respect. If you want to respect me, it’s better to respect your father’s great cause.”< br>
"Father's great cause?"
"Yes, I hope father's great cause will last for thousands of years and be remembered forever."
After saying that, he didn't wait for the two of them to say anything else. What? He raised his head and drank all the wine in the glass.
When Yu Wenzhen and Yu Wencheng heard what he said, they both frowned at the same time, but Yu Wenzhen immediately pursed his lips and said: "My second brother is right. I will drink this cup." ”
< br> Yu Wenye calmly watched his brother finish the second glass of wine and nodded. However, thinking that Yu Wenxin had poured the second glass of wine himself, he prepared to get the wine pot and pour it himself. Wine, but just as he stretched out While holding his hand, Yu Wencheng suddenly said: "Second emperor brothers, wait a minute, it's my turn to toast the third glass of wine to the two emperor brothers."
The moment Yu Wenye's hand touched the wine bottle Stopped and looked back at him: "How?"
Yu Wencheng smiled and said: "Since I am the one toasting, I will use the bar I brought."
After saying that, he reached out and took it from his side He picked up a flagon.
Yu Wenye looked at it and couldn't help but frown.
When Yu Wencheng came in just now, he had his hands behind his back. He vaguely felt that he seemed to be holding something in his hand. However, after he sat down, he was blocked by the table and could not see clearly. Only now can he see it. It turns out that It's a hip flask.
A wine bottle carved with Tai Chi diagrams.
