Chapter Fifty-Three: King Jing’s Mansion Attends a Banquet (Part 2)

King Jing's Mansion is located near the Imperial Palace, covering a very large area, with layers of pavilions, vermilion towers, emerald pavilions, bucket arches and flying eaves, which are very beautiful.Green pines, emerald bamboos, and flowers of various colors are dotted among them, which is quite elegant.Qiao Songyu followed Pei Rongbai around the screen wall and walked all the way in. He felt that the way was magnificent and dizzying, as if it had the tendency to rival the palace.

After walking for about an arrow, we finally arrived at the flower hall.Qiao Songyu stepped inside, and saw a man, dressed in green-brown brocade clothes, with a lotus pattern on his chest, handsome in appearance, with a good temperament, especially a pair of red phoenix eyes, very similar to the emperor, King Jing, etc., probably also from the royal familyman of.He was sitting at the side drinking tea, when he saw Pei Rongbai coming in, he stood up with a smile on his face and said:

"Prime Minister Pei and his wife are here."

Pei Rongbai also had a smile on his face, bowed his hands to him and said: "See Your Highness King Guangling." Then he introduced Qiao Songyu who was beside him and said, "Your Highness, this is my wife Qiao Songyu. Songer, this is GuanglingHis Royal Highness."

Qiao Songyu followed suit and bowed: "See Your Highness King Guangling." It turned out that this person was the elder brother of the current emperor and the second son of the late emperor, Mu Qianyun, King Guangling.It is said that King Guangling is capable of both civil and military affairs, and is very resourceful, but because of his bad background, his mother and concubine were born as maidservants, so they were not valued by the late emperor. The crown prince is now His Majesty.Run some errands and do something that doesn't matter.

It was also the first time for Mu Qianyun to meet Qiao Songyu, the legendary "capital male god". He had snow skin and black hair, red lips and white teeth, and beautiful features, but he was a bit more masculine than a woman. Not only that,His eyes are clear and his temperament is pure, so he is like a fairy who cannot be described, and people can't take their eyes off him.He smiled and said: "Madam Pei Xiangde is like this, I really envy others!"

Pei Rongbai glanced at Qiao Songyu, seemed a little proud, and said, "Thank you for your compliment, Your Highness."

Qiao Songyu watched indifferently from the side, thinking, this Pei Rongbai really knows how to act, better than all the actors on other theaters, probably if he is in a high position, acting must be a necessary skill, right?

The three sat down relative to each other, Pei Rongbai and Mu Qianyun began to greet each other, only to hear Pei Rongbai say:

"I heard that His Royal Highness King Guangling recently got a batch of crocodile silk, which is as thin as a cicada's wing and as light as flying catkins, but is that so?"

When Mu Qianyun heard the words, a trace of surprise flashed across his face, as if he didn't know why Pei Rongbai knew the news, and then he smiled and said: "Prime Minister Pei is really well informed, I just got the shark silk a few days ago, PrimeMinister Pei knows now..." He glanced at Qiao Songyu on the side and said, "Could it be because Prime Minister Pei's husband's family is selling cloth?"

Qiao Songyu, who was indirectly named, felt that she was shot by an arrow while sitting, and this King Guangling spoke too badly. What is "selling cloth"?Although it is true that his Qiao family sells cloth, they are imperial merchants after all, and they are not street stalls. It is too disrespectful to say so.Moreover, this is not only humiliating the Qiao family and himself, but also humiliating Pei Rongbai, right?I don't know how Pei Rongbai will react?

I saw Pei Rongbai picking up the teacup in a leisurely manner, and said with a smile: "Your Highness is joking, the father-in-law of the lower official provides cloth for the royal family, so he has heard about it." He took a sip of tea, and said, "ButThis crocodile silk is very precious. The southeast coast pays no more than eight horses a year, and they are only provided to the emperor, empress and others..." He said, as if he was thinking about something, and then asked suddenly, "Presumably His Highness should have dedicated these cloths to His Majesty, right?"

Mu Qianyun's face was a little ugly - he used these silks originally for his palace, but now that Pei Rongbai said so, it seemed that after using them, he was arrogating, but if you want to hand him over and give away these valuablesMu Qianyin felt distressed once again when he gave up the crocodile silk.

Seeing this, Qiao Songyu couldn't help but snorted in her heart—as expected, Pei Rongbai is not a cheap lamp. When people humiliate him, he digs a hole for others to jump in. Of course, only when he is the one humiliated by others, heThat's why?

"Could it be that Your Highness doesn't think so?" Pei Rongbai pretended to be surprised, "That's the official talking too much... Fortunately, His Majesty didn't know, if he knew..."

Mu Qianyun's face became even uglier, he managed to force a smile, and said: "Naturally, it is to be presented to His Majesty. Although this king is not sensitive, he will not do anything presumptuous. Prime Minister Pei is too worried."

Pei Rongbai smiled triumphantly and said, "Oh, that's good."

The two were talking, King Jing came, and said as he came in:

"Yun'er and Rongbai are here, that's just right, come, let's serve wine and food."

Qiao Songyu followed the prestige, and saw that he was wearing a gorgeous royal blue brocade jacket with Sihe Ruyi patterns on it, looking very graceful and luxurious, he and Mu Qianyun looked quite alike, more like uncle and nephew than the little emperor and himtwo people.He thought to himself, why didn't Princess Lu Yang come?Wasn't Princess Lu Yang among the invitations today?

He stood up with Pei Rongbai to salute, and then he heard King Jing say:

"Pingshen, don't be too polite." He added, "Lu Yang was going to come, but unfortunately she is not feeling well, so she won't come."

Qiao Songyu thought to herself, hmph, it's best if you don't come, but it depends on her face when you come!

"The princess is not feeling well, she should rest at home." Pei Rongbai said with concern.

"It's not a big problem, okay, take your seats!" King Jing said, and he took his seat directly at the head.

Qiao Songyu sat down with Pei Rongbai, and was just about to sit silently as a background board, when King Jing called his name:

"Young Master Qiao is also here today, that's right, let me save face."

Qiao Songyu was taken aback for a moment, then forced a smile and said, "It's Songyu's honor to be invited by the lord." I don't know why I insisted on calling myself here today...

"I don't want to bother Mr. Qiao San." King Jing said, looking straight at Qiao Songyu with fiery eyes, "But I have something that I think must match a beauty like Mr. Qiao."

Qiao Songyu asked suspiciously, "What?"

Pei Rongbai on the side also smiled, but looked at King Jing coldly, as if his eyes were going to be frozen into a pair of glass beads.

"That's right, Uncle Huang has something good, I want Xiao Wang to learn more about it today." Mu Qianyun on the side also echoed.

King Jing still looked straight at Qiao Songyu, with a smug smile on his face: "It's not a big deal, it's just a night pearl."

Is it a night pearl?There are so many in my house!

Just when Qiao Songyu thought that was the case, he heard King Jing say:

"There is the word 'Qiao Songyu' in the Ye Mingzhu!"
