At the banquet, everyone was changing glasses and drinking wine. Everything seemed harmonious. No one seemed to feel sad or depressed because of Ji Si's tragic experience.
Including Ji Si himself.
Ji Si smiled at the New Tang officials who came to toast him. After a few rounds, his face was already rosy and he looked like he was a little drunk. After a few reluctant excuses, Ji Si leaned on the table in a daze. He put his hand on his forehead and waved the other hand constantly to indicate that he was drunk. When the civil and military officials who came to the banquet saw this, they no longer pressed him and let him sit as a distinguished guest without disturbing him. However, these officials carried Ji's back. Sidu covered his mouth and whispered in a low voice, and everything he said came from dead lips and cold teeth.
Looking at the drunken Ji Si beside him, Yingping couldn't help but feel a little contempt in his heart. Thinking about it, this prince was really worse than himself and couldn't even handle a banquet. It's no wonder he was expelled from Luodu by his ministers. .
Looking at the ministers whispering around Wang Yanqing below, Yingping sneered inwardly. It seemed that the old fox was really anxious this time, but Yingping was also aware of the seriousness of the situation. Even Gongsun Cuo went to Tongguan in person. , it’s no wonder that the entire court and even New Tang Dynasty felt enveloped by an invisible pressure. How could Wang Yanqing sit calmly under such pressure?
Unlike the female prime minister’s inflated ambition, Wang Yanqing wants balance!
Wei is strong and Tang is weak. In this case, he naturally hopes that the entire Central Plains can maintain the current balance. Only in this way can he sit back and relax. The struggle for the throne between Prince Zhou and Chen and the young prince is the biggest factor in whether the Central Plains can continue to maintain balance. Variables, once Ji Si dies and the young prince succeeds to the throne, Zhou Chen will inevitably fall into the hands of the Northern Wei Dynasty, and the New Tang Dynasty will never be peaceful!
Thinking of this, Yingping couldn't help but feel a little anxious. Even though he was being sidelined now, he still understood the truth behind a dangerous nest with intact eggs. Feeling the slightest uneasiness under the harmonious atmosphere, Yingping picked up the glass and drank it all.
"Why did the Holy One drink alone at the banquet?"
At this moment, a calm and delicate voice came into his ears. Yingping couldn't help but startled slightly. Looking for the sound, he saw Ji Si still holding his forehead and closing his eyes tightly, but he still looked drunk on the surface. .
"There are many people here with mixed opinions. Please forgive me for being disrespectful."
Although he was drunk, Ji Si was very sober when he spoke. It seemed that he was deliberately pretending to be like this in order not to attract other people's attention so that he could talk to Yingping alone.
Understanding Ji Si's intention, Yingping withdrew his gaze, clasped his hands in front of his nose to block his mouth, and took advantage of the excitement below and said, "Your Highness is drunk, why don't you take this opportunity to take a good rest?"
"Everyone can get drunk at this banquet, except the Holy One and his ministers -"
"Oh? Your Highness is like a bereaved dog, and my throne is as stable as Mount Tai. Why can't you just get drunk and rest?" Yingping said with a fake smile.
"Stable as Mount Tai?" Ji Si couldn't help laughing, as if he heard Ying Ping tell a joke, and said: "The Holy Lord is the third generation chief disciple of the Han family, Mr. Wen's beloved disciple, and his disciple, but he actually said that his current position is 'Steady as a mountain'?"
"What do you mean by this, Your Highness?"
"Your Majesty is in the same situation as a person who drinks water and knows whether he is warm or cold. It is useless for me to say more. However, I believe that if Mr. Wen and Mr. Wen knew about it in heaven, I am afraid they would also feel a little sad for Your Majesty."
'boom--'
Yingping patted the table gently, but no one noticed him despite the noise.
"If Your Majesty doesn't want to attract attention, it's better to keep a low profile." Faced with Yingping's anger, Ji Si remained motionless.
"What do you want to say, Your Highness?" Yingping regained his composure.
Ji Si took a deep breath, lowered his voice slightly, and said as if revealing some important secret, "Why don't the Holy Lord and I join forces -"
Yingping's figure froze at this moment, not only that, but even his breathing stopped.
Feeling Yingping's reaction, Ji Si couldn't help but open his eyes slightly, only to see Yingping motionless like a wooden man. Ji Si just thought that Yingping was moved by his suggestion and was weighing it seriously, but then Yingping's body suddenly started to shake uncontrollably, and his head shook slightly. When he looked carefully, Ji Si almost died of anger. It turned out that Yingping was trying hard to control his smile so that the scene would not look too funny.
"What does this mean, Your Majesty?" Ji Si was a little angry.
Yingping adjusted his emotions slightly and said calmly: "You? Me? Join forces?"
"Exactly——"
Yingping was startled again, then shook his head with a half-smile and said: "Your Highness is still drunk."
"I'm not drunk."
"Rely on what? Why? What resources do you and I have available?"
"Where did the Holy Master say this? When the Holy Master comes from a poor family, Mr. Xiao and the other gentlemen are the Holy Master's greatest help. But while I am in court... there are still a few hidden things that can turn the situation around."
"What exactly is the 'hidden child' in His Highness's hand?"
"If the Holy One doesn't express his position, how can I dare to show it?"
Ying Ping smiled slightly and said: "If Your Highness doesn't reveal the secret first, how can I dare to express my position so easily?"
Ji Si fell into silence. Faced with Yingping's questioning, it was difficult for him to make a decision for a while.
Seeing that he had the upper hand, Yingping said without any doubt: "If your highness is not drunk, I am a little drunk. If your highness still refuses to explain, I will go back to the palace to rest..."
"Meng Yong——"
Just when Yingping was about to stand up, Ji Si revealed the name.
"Meng Yong? Your country's hussar general?"
Ji Si nodded silently to show his approval.
The Hussar General is the highest-ranking military officer of the Zhou and Chen Dynasties. He is the emperor's military advisor and agent. Together with the Shence General of the New Tang Dynasty and the General of the Northern Wei Dynasty, he is the actual commander of the military. His status The height is self-evident.
"But it is rumored that General Meng is Prime Minister Feng's man..."
"It's just a rumor, how can we believe it easily?" Ji Si said confidently.
Ying Ping explained directly in front of him expressionlessly. This time he didn't nod, but he also didn't refuse.
Seeing Ying Ping's move, Ji Si continued: "To be honest, Meng Yong was favored by his mother's family when he was a child. He owes his current position to her mother. Today, the crown prince of Japan is in trouble, and he will repay it with all his heart and soul." Motherly kindness.”
Yingping thought for a moment, then smiled and asked: "Even if General Meng can help His Highness regain the throne, what can I gain?"
"If I can succeed to the throne, Zhou Chen is willing to have good relations with the New Tang Dynasty, and your caravan will be able to travel freely through Zhou Chen."
Yingping still smiled and said nothing.
Ji Si 'watched' Yingping with his peripheral vision. He knew that these alone would not be able to impress the new emperor of the Tang Dynasty. He leaned slightly closer and whispered: "If the emperor needs it in the future, our Zhou and Chen troops are willing to be dispatched by the emperor." , thinking that external response——"
Yingping's eyes flashed slightly, and he seemed a little tempted by Ji Si's proposal.
Seeing that Yingping did not reply for a long time, Ji Si was not impatient and said slowly and leisurely: "Please consider it carefully, Your Majesty. I am drunk. Please excuse me first..."
After this conversation, Yingping was somewhat impressed by the Crown Prince of Chen State. He thought he was a weak master, but now it seems that he has a very deep city, and he also made advances and retreats during the conversation. Seeing Ji Si pretending to be lying on the wine table, Yingping said loudly: "Dear ladies——"
Seeing Yingping speaking, the noise gradually became quiet.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has been tired from traveling all the way and is too drunk to drink. The banquet ends here. Who's here?" Yingping waved his hand, and the two palace maids standing behind him came up. He continued to say: "Will you?" His Royal Highness, please help him to the residence to have a good rest——"
After receiving the order, the two palace maids used their fragrant jade bodies to drive the "drunk" Ji Si away.
…
…
The slender jade fingers rubbed back and forth on Yingping's strong chest, and Zhidang was enjoying the tenderness.
Yingping put his arm around Zhitang's shoulders and looked forward calmly. Seeing the serious look on her lover's face, Zhi Tang suddenly felt naughty. She pressed herself against Ying Ping's chest, deliberately letting the warm breath in her nose brush over her thick chest muscles, and her half-covered jade legs were like It wrapped around Yingping's lower body like a spiritual snake.
Feeling Zhitang's teasing move, Yingping, who was originally thinking a lot, felt an itch in his heart, and his other hand became ready to move, intending to take advantage of the delicate body.
Seeing that Yingping was aroused by him and became hard again, Zhitang said with a teasing smile: "Are you coming again? Not to mention that you won't be able to bear it if this goes on. Even I, my concubine, can't bear it."
Seeing Zhi Tang's slightly tired expression, Yingping felt a pang of pity in his heart. The two of them struggled all night last night and didn't even get a good night's sleep.
"Get some rest. I was really tired yesterday."
Zhi Tang chuckled and said, "Tired? Do you still know you are tired?"
"Go to sleep, I'm tired too."
After that, Yingping actually lay down and prepared to fall asleep.
When Zhi Tang saw this, she stopped being naughty. She clung to Ying Ping, put her arms around him, and asked, "Are you interested?"
Seeing that his thoughts were revealed by an insider, Yingping sighed softly, and then nodded silently.
"Private and state affairs?"
"It is both a private matter and a state matter."
"Is it related to Prince Zhou Chen?"
Yingping was silent for a while, and then softly said "Hmm".
Seeing that her husband seemed to be really bothered by this matter, Zhi Tang stopped asking. She hugged Ying Ping tighter and said softly: "Go to sleep. Only when you sleep well can you have the strength to think about things."
"Um…"
Being with Zhitang is always so pleasant and comfortable. There seems to be a natural tacit understanding between the two. Whether and where to ask some questions, Zhitang can always figure out just right, which can not only make Yingping feel Her concern will not bring more anxiety to Yingping. After getting along for a long time, Yingping found that Zhitang's "intelligence" was even more attractive to him than her "beauty". Thinking of this, Yingping couldn't help but relax physically and mentally, and threw himself into the beauty's arms.
Is there anything in this world that can be more comforting than a plump, fragrant and beautiful breast? Zhitang took Yingping's head into his arms, still pressing his cheeks against his snow-white breasts, and gently caressed his head with his hands. After a while, Yingping's slight snoring came from his arms...
