    61. Bin Banquet, Guang Yan Yu Wei Lou

    After entering the bedroom of Fangchen Hall, Pei Nianyu didn't change his clothes immediately, but said to Lou Yefeng:

    "The winter solstice feast will start in half an hour, and we all have to wait outside Chenghua Palace at first, and it will take another half an hour for Xiaosheng to pass. I'll change clothes after the hour. It doesn't matter if I go later."

    Lou Yefeng understood in seconds, and asked Pei Nianyu:

    "Then the master wants to rest first?"

    "Ok."

    This time Pei Nianyu closed his eyes wearily and snorted nasally.

    Originally, he stayed up all night, and he was busy for a long time in the morning, even cooking and explaining, and he even had a trick with the shadow guard... It was all physical activity.After finishing his work, he went to Concubine Zhuang's place again before taking a rest, all the while worrying about fearing that Lou Yefeng would be wronged.

    Pei Nianyu doesn't have the night owl skills of those shadow guards, because he has deep internal energy, which can relieve physical fatigue, but mental sleepiness will become more and more difficult to bear with time.

    Now that he was suddenly free, Pei Nianyu felt tired instantly on his forehead.He slumped on the couch with all four limbs in a mess, never wanting to lift his hands or move his legs.

    Lou Yefeng looked at his master distressedly, thinking that his master has always been comfortable and comfortable in the mansion, never had he ever suffered such a burden.So he took the initiative to ask:

    "Master, can I need my subordinates to give you a shoulder pat?"

    "Ye Feng, you are too considerate."

    So Lou Yefeng also sat on the couch, half-supported the master's body, and gently pressed Pei Nianyu's shoulders.

    Pei Nianyu only felt that he was leaning against a broad chest that radiated heat, and the fingers on his shoulders were steady and strong.Looking around at the aura that I have been extremely familiar with for the past ten years, that aura gave me a sense of security that I have never made a mistake. The difference is that it is so close to me at this moment.

    My dear Ye Feng...

    The corner of Pei Nianyu's mouth slightly curled into a smile, and then he allowed himself to relax the strength of his whole body, tilted his head back, and completely fell asleep.

    When Lou Yefeng saw his master's head resting on his shoulder, he couldn't help but pause the movements of his hands.Then, as if pretending not to see it, he continued to massage Pei Nianyu's tired muscles at a slow pace as usual.

    After everything was over, Lou Yefeng didn't leave, he just looked down at the master in his arms quietly.

    Although his master looked tired, it was still hard to hide his beauty.And such a master, whom he always regards as a god's master on weekdays... at this moment, he leaned against his arms defenselessly, with a casual expression.

    Lou Yefeng thought to himself, in the past, these disrespectful images were only dared to be imagined in his mind, how could he have thought that one day they would actually come true.

    ... I don't know what the master likes about me, I'm really puzzled.

    There was no one around, Lou Yefeng let his unspeakable thoughts drift further and further away.It wasn't until he came back to his senses that he suddenly realized that he had involuntarily hugged his master completely in his arms!

    Moreover, perhaps it was stimulated by the heat on the master, some damned part of him actually had some reaction that shouldn't have happened...

    Lou Yefeng quickly closed his eyes, and thought about the scenes he had thought of in his mind just now... His face became livid, and he let go of his master carefully, and put him on the couch, while he quietly got up.Turned around and knelt beside him.

    Just now... just now, what was he thinking!And how can, how can you treat the master...

    Lou Yefeng knelt aside, closed his eyes and quickly recited the inner strength method silently, suppressing certain reactions.Then he opened his eyes, his eyes were terribly gloomy, he lowered his head and stared straight at the ground, as if there was a little man named Lou Yefeng on the ground, and he wished to stab himself to death with a sword.

    Even if the master doesn't know what happened just now, the offense and blasphemy against the master in his heart really existed.

    Lou Yefeng pinched his palm fiercely, and the palm immediately saw blood.

    He looked at the master again, and secretly prayed in his heart that the master would never find out.Who would have thought that upon seeing this, Lou Yefeng was taken aback for a moment, there was clearly a little... powder stain on the master's face?

    Could it be that the master put powder on it before going out?

    It's just that the cover-up makeup that Xia Yao painted on him earlier, after such a smoky fuss in the imperial dining room this morning, has already begun to show signs of blooming.Lou Yefeng observed carefully for a while, then sighed helplessly, went to find a handkerchief, soaked it in water, and took off Pei Nianyu's makeup.

    Pei Nianyu felt his face suddenly become moist, and woke up with great difficulty.

    "Master, why are your dark circles..."

    Pei Nianyu hurriedly waved his hands and said foolishly:

    "Well, I just slept a little late yesterday, it's okay."

    Pei Nianyu's light sleep after a whole night was completely useless, and when he woke up, his head felt even heavier, and he still refused to get up and change clothes after lying on Lou Yefeng's body for a long time.

    As for Lou Yefeng, who was guilty of being a thief, he dared not let his master continue to hang on to him, and only gently reminded him that the time had come.Pei Nianyu had no choice but to get up reluctantly, first washed his face with cold water, and tried to make himself look more energetic.Then, under the service of Lou Yefeng, he changed into the heavy court clothes.

    The length of the court clothes drags the floor, the material is thick, and it matches the crowns of other princes... What accessories, waist hangings, jade pendants, etc., there are a lot of jingling.Since Pei Nianyu wore it, this was the second time he wore the crown of the prince, and he was really unhappy.

    With the sound of jingling, Pei Nianyu walked out the door squarely and squarely.Looking at Xia Yao and Yun Shao who were doing nothing, he said to them in a very "caring subordinate" tone:

    "Well... it seems that you don't have any jobs anymore, why don't you go back first if you two still have Ye Feng?"

    As for He Qi and the few shadow guards he brought, it was natural that they would go back with Pei Nianyu after the banquet.

    Xia Yao glanced at his dear good prince several times, and finally couldn't help but said:

    "So...my lord, why didn't you just tell us to go back...but waited for you to sleep before saying...?"

    Pei Nianyu realized his mistake, and immediately made a deep expression:

    "This question is a good question. Why don't we discuss it in the long run after we go back..."

    And Lou Yefeng said:

    "The subordinate is also a shadow guard, how can he leave first, naturally he is with Old He."

    "Okay, then you can rest here for a while. You worked a lot this morning."

    Lou Yefeng nodded, without comment.Pei Nianyu also guessed that he should wait for him, so he didn't ask any more questions.

    ………………

    When Pei Nianyu left Fangchen Palace, Pei Niancheng sent a sedan chair and palace guards to pick him up very thoughtfully.At this time, he was wearing a heavy court dress, so naturally he couldn't use any light work, so he had to sit in and bumped all the way to Chenghua Palace.

    Chenghua Palace is the most magnificent palace in the imperial palace.On weekdays, court meetings are held in the Huangji Hall in the south, and this Chenghua Hall is used to hold various ceremonies or banquets.

    The imperial chariot bestowed by Pei Niancheng walked slowly on the wide palace road, accompanied by a dozen palace eunuchs at the front and back.When he came to the Chenghua Palace, the other princes and courtiers who came to the banquet had lined up on the Danchi in front of the Chenghua Palace according to their grades.

    From His Majesty Danji Dan, four long rows of banquet tables were set up on the opposite sides of Kuan Street.As for entering the hall and seat, only the first rank can enter.

    Pei Nianyu's sedan chair would not go to the back, but was carried to the entrance of the main hall.The princes, county kings, and elder ministers at the front of the team saw the imperial chariot, and naturally knew that His Royal Highness King Yu must be sitting in it.

    ——Because everyone's sedan chairs and guards of honor are not allowed in this palace. Every time they enter the palace, they walk a long way on their legs...

    And that is Pei Nianyu, who only enters the palace every year on important banquets and sacrificial ceremonies.And every time His Royal Highness King Yu enters the palace, Pei Niancheng will send a chariot to pick him up at the gate of the palace...

    Pei Niancheng gave his brother privileges openly and aboveboard, so no one else would dare to say anything.In addition, although Pei Nianyu didn't care about anything, the name of the regent was always there.

    Intentionally or unintentionally, gradually, no matter how high or low the officials in Beijing are, they all know that His Royal Highness King Yu cannot afford to offend.

    The little eunuch on the side of the imperial chariot raised the curtain, and Pei Nianyu stepped out calmly.The smirk that he practiced over the years when he was a prince hangs on his face——

    Gentle and peaceful, modest gentleman.

    His eyes are calm and unwavering, and his steps are even and steady; his robes are not stained with dust, and his attitude is dignified and graceful.

    Coupled with that young and beautiful face, it has the majesty of a prince.

    ——The courtiers who are old and fading, and the princes who are greedy for pleasure and happiness, instantly make themselves feel ashamed.

    There was some sour water secretly in everyone's heart, but they never dared to be negligent, and when Pei Nianyu stood still, they all came up to salute one by one.

    Pei Nianyu made a slightly apologetic look, and said casually;

    "The king was ill a few days ago and has been recuperating from his illness. Therefore, His Majesty specially kindly allowed this king to enter the palace in a sedan chair, which made everyone laugh."

    "Where, where."

    In fact, Pei Nianyu used these privileges more or less every time before, but he never specifically explained anything.Being at the top of the feudal society, he is the elder brother of the Holy Majesty, so he doesn't think there is anything wrong with it.

    But Pei Nianyu, who has traveled through time, can keenly perceive these subtleties, the ubiquitous so-called privileges.Therefore, he took advantage of the opportunity to compliment Pei Niancheng, and subtly let others know that he was still respected to the supreme sage.

    At this time, the banquet has not yet officially started, so the postures of the people on Danchi are not so serious, except for occupying seats one after another, they stand more or less casually.

    Everyone exchanged a few pleasantries.And many of them noticed that Pei Nianyu's eyes were dark and black, and they seemed to respond to Pei Nianyu's previous sentence of "I'm sick", so they rushed up one by one to care about Pei Nianyu's body.

    Pei Nianyu was struggling to deal with it, but fortunately, the auspicious time had come, and the feast finally began.The bells and drums on both sides of the main hall rang together, and the music troupe played the chapter of Zhonghe Shaoyue Shengping. When everyone heard it, they immediately stood solemnly.

    Then the courtiers sang loudly, asking Your Majesty to dress in the Royal Palace.

    There were three drums playing, Pei Niancheng dressed in a full set of auspicious clothes, entered the Chenghua Palace surrounded by guards of honor, ascended to his seat, and the music stopped ②.

    But Wu Bingzhong came in front of all the ministers, and after the three whips were fired, everyone followed the order of the singing, and those who should enter the hall entered the hall one by one.Afterwards, everyone bowed down and bowed nine times to Pei Niancheng.

    Pei Nianyu ranked first in the Eastern Class, so after entering the palace, he was also the one closest to Pei Niancheng's throne.He stood at the front of the line and glanced at Pei Niancheng who was sitting on the stage.

    Pei Niancheng sat upright, with a majestic aura, his long crown covered his sight, and no one could see his expression.

    Pei Nianyu immediately lowered his head, no longer looking directly at Tianyan so boldly, and then led the crowd behind him, lifted his robes, and knelt down first.

    The ceremony of nine prostrations is only done to the king in formal ceremonies or banquets on weekdays.Although Pei Nianyu is a time traveler and has never kneeled before anyone in his previous life, of course he is not allowed to do anything special at this time.

    Therefore, although the relationship is good in private, it is in private, but in front of the courtiers, he must do enough with Pei Niancheng's attitude.

    In other words, in this class-distinct world, Pei Niancheng has given him great political privileges, so at the same time, Pei Nianyu naturally needs to abide by certain ideologies of this world.

    So Pei Nianyu knelt down in front of the hall without hesitation.He himself didn't feel much, but when he was about to bow down, Pei Niancheng stood up from his throne and walked straight down the steps.

    ——He stretched out a hand, bent down, the crown on his head jingled, and helped his brother up.

    "His Royal Highness King Yu has just recovered from a serious illness. If he is in poor health, he will be excused. Come here and give me a seat!"

    Pei Nianyu: "..."

    The author has something to say:

    Pei Nianyu: Ye Feng, if you have any reaction, please come in more.
