In the evening, the family banquet at Princess Changzhao's Mansion officially began.
Because it was a private banquet, and it was not easy to arrange silk and bamboo singing and dancing during the Queen Mother's national mourning period, Princess Changzhao set up a few banquets in the warm pavilion of the palace. It was not like some large banquets in Shangyong where the guests were in the lobby.
They are arranged on both sides, each with a table, but round tables are used for guests to sit together.
Although it lacks some solemn and formal feeling, it seems more lively and intimate.
The men wanted to drink and chat, but most of the women were not good at drinking, and it was not easy to talk when they sat together, so they simply separated the men and women to make everyone feel more comfortable.
Luo Junyao naturally sat at the first table on the side of the female family. Sitting next to her were Princess Changling and Qin Ning. The baby, who was still unable to sit independently, had already been carried down by the wet nurse.
Although Princess Changzhao and her consort were together less and more apart, their relationship as husband and wife was good. Princess Changzhao was also really happy when her husband came back. She personally picked up the wine glass and went to the male guests' table next to her to toast a glass of wine before turning back and personally paying homage to him.
Each of the female relatives toasted with wine one by one, asking everyone to enjoy the feast as they please without being formal.
The Nuan Pavilion was warm from the heat, and after a few glasses of wine, Princess Changzhao's face was even more rosy and beautiful.
Seeing Princess Chang Zhao's appearance, Princess Chang Ling couldn't help but joke in a low voice: "My brother-in-law is back. Chang Zhao is really happy. Look, she looks much better than before."
Luo Jun said: "Sister Changzhao has always been beautiful."
Princess Changling glanced at her and said, "Shao Wao can talk."
Luo Junyao smiled and said: "Of course, Princess Changling is the most beautiful."

"Smooth words and charming words."
Luo Junyao said innocently: "Sister Huang just praised me for being able to speak, and now why have I turned into a sweet talker? Don't people tell the truth these days?" Looking at her innocent appearance, Princess Changling was also amused.
Already.
"Mom, what are you telling Yaoyao?" Qin Ning leaned over to listen. Princess Changling patted her forehead gently, "No matter how big or small, call me aunt."
"I don't want it." Qin Ning made a face at her mother and quickly turned around to talk to Xu Xinyu.
Princess Changzhao came back after toasting with wine and said with a smile: "Sister Huang, are you talking to Jun Yao about me?"
Princess Changling smiled and said, "Jun Yao said you look radiant today."
There were only three tables in the Nuan Pavilion. Naturally, they all heard what Princess Changling said, and they all echoed how beautiful and energetic Princess Changzhao was today. The atmosphere at the table was very lively.
During the banquet, the wife of the Minister of Industry also came over with Liu Ruxia to toast Luo Junyao. With her, the others followed.
For a while, Luo Junyao became the most popular person in the Nuan Pavilion, but it was a bit like taking over the host. It was Princess Changling who spoke up and reminded them that today was Princess Changzhao's family banquet, and these people hurriedly
They rushed over to toast Princess Changzhao again, allowing Luo Junyao to escape the disaster.
Meeting Luo Junyao's grateful gaze, Princess Changling smiled and raised her eyebrows at her.
Although Princess Changling caused trouble, Luo Junyao still drank several glasses of wine and felt a little drowsy at the end of the banquet.
Princess Changzhao sent the guests out. When she came back, she saw Luo Junyao leaning on the soft couch, looking like he was about to fall asleep. She couldn't help but laugh and said: "Come to think of it, is this the first time you shake your head and be surrounded by people like this and toast?"
Luo Junyao opened his eyes and looked at her, his eyes were indeed misty, "Isn't it all thanks to the emperor's sister?"
Princess Changzhao sat down next to her, took the hangover soup brought by the maid and handed it to her with a smile: "You can't blame me for this. If you do, blame the two young masters of the Luo family for being too conspicuous. For this matter
, but not many people talk in my ears.”
Luo Junyao took a sip of the sobering soup and he sobered up. He also sat up and said, "Is it because of my eldest brother and second brother?"
"Otherwise?" Princess Changzhao said with a smile, "Do you think the Liu family is the only one who wants to marry the Luo family?"
Luo Junyao sighed quietly and said, "I knew it couldn't be because of me. How could I be so well-received by others?"
Princess Changzhao smiled and said: "It's not because you don't like to join in the fun. The ladies in Shangyong are afraid that you will be difficult to deal with."
In fact, it's not that Luo Junyao doesn't like to join in the fun, it's just that the fun she likes is different from the fun that ordinary ladies like.
Luo Junyao yawned and said, "Isn't this busy? I am asked to chat with people every day, drink tea and enjoy flowers. I don't have the ability to be elegant."
Princess Changzhao smiled and said: "So, you have already decided? You will go to Anlan Academy after the first month?"
Luo Jun shook his head and Princess Changzhao said: "Just in time, I will ask Xinyu and Aning to go to the martial arts academy together later. If you need any help, just ask. Princess Changling and I are on your side."
Luo Junyao smiled and said, "Thank you very much, Sister Huang."
After chatting with Princess Changzhao for a while, Luo Junyao couldn't help but fell into a drowsy sleep.
She has never drunk so much wine before, and her drinking capacity now seems to be no better than in her previous life.
When she woke up, she found that she was already in the carriage of the Prince Regent's Palace, leaning in Xie Yan's arms. The surroundings were quiet except for the sound of the wheels of the carriage rolling outside.
"Are you awake?" Xie Yan said softly, "Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?"
Luo Junyao sat up, rubbed his eyes and said, "I'm not uncomfortable. How long have I been sleeping? Why didn't I notice any movement?"
Xie Yan said: "Sister Changzhao said you drank several glasses of wine?"
Luo Junyao sighed and said, "If someone else comes here specifically to toast, it's better not to drink it, right?"
Xie Yan said: "You are not allowed to drink anymore."
"you sure?"
Xie Yan said: "If someone proposes a toast in the future, just say I don't allow you to drink. Or should Yaoyao want her father-in-law to speak?" She hadn't considered this issue before. Yaoyao was young but high-status and no one dared to force her to drink.
But similarly, some people don’t want to drink toasts.
Doctor Xue once said that it is best not for young girls to get drunk as it is not good for their health.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Luo Junyao smiled and said: "Okay, I will tell you that you won't let me drink from now on."
Xie Yan smiled indifferently, obviously not caring about how outsiders saw him.
Luo Junyao opened the curtain of the carriage and discovered that they were not on the way back home but had already left the city.
The carriage was walking on the flat official road, but I didn't notice anything different from the city. When I looked outside, I could only see clearly with the lights on the corner eaves of the carriage. It was pitch black on both sides of the road, as if it were endless.
wilderness.
"Where are we going?" Luo Junyao turned around and asked curiously.
Xie Yan said: "The armed guards have some things to deal with in the next few days. Let's go to a courtyard outside the city to stay for a few days so that we don't have to run back and forth. Don't you also want to deal with those people who come to visit you?"
Luo Junyao really didn't want to deal with those ladies who came to visit him, but on the other hand, it seemed to be his responsibility as the regent princess.
Seeing her somewhat embarrassed look, Xie Yan smiled lightly and said: "There has been no mistress in the Regent's Palace in the past few years, so why don't you just have to live with it? Since what you want to do is different from them, you don't have to care too much about it. Anyway, you can just go.
It's just a waste of time if you don't go all the way. With your status, no one would dare to neglect you even if you don't participate in the interactions between the female relatives."
Luo Junyao then smiled and said: "Okay, but my things are still at home." Xie Yan is going to the army, and she can't follow him to the armed guards every day. She still has to do something, right?
Xie Yan said: "Have someone send it over tomorrow."
"good."
In the early morning, Luo Junyao rarely woke up early.
However, Xie Yan was obviously earlier than her. When he opened the door and went out, he saw Xie Yan practicing swordsmanship in the yard. Luo Junyao simply put on a thick cloak and sat on the seat beside the corridor, holding his chin up to admire the swordsmanship of His Highness the Regent.
.
Xie Yan's swordsmanship is very graceful, and at the same time it carries terrifying power and killing intent. He has been fighting on the battlefield since he was a teenager, and some things have already been integrated into his bones.
Although he deliberately controlled it, his sword energy was still powerful and powerful.
Luo Junyao became excited when he saw it, and simply took off his cloak and handed it to Feng Jian who was standing aside. The cold light of the moon thorn in his hand flashed, and the figure in goose-yellow clothes rushed towards Xie Yan.
Although Xie Yan was practicing his sword, he did not ignore Luo Junyao sitting on the side, and naturally noticed her movements. When he saw Luo Junyao rushing towards him, he did not dodge, and swept towards Luo Junyao with the long sword in his hand.
The slender figure was still extremely smart even in the winter. Luo Junyao jumped into the air, and his whole body spun in mid-air to avoid Xie Yan's sword edge, and the Youyue thorn slashed towards his chest.
Xie Yan chuckled lightly, leaned back slightly and raised his hand to flick the blade lightly.
Luo Junyao only felt a shock in the tiger's mouth holding the knife, but it was not too painful. Obviously Xie Yan did not try his best.
She snorted softly, a shrewd light flashing in her eyes.
His men quickly struck Xie Yan with three swords in succession. Just when Xie Yan raised his hand to snatch her sword away, Luo Jun ducked and slashed towards his lower body.
Xie Yan jumped up to avoid the knife, rolled over and landed behind Luo Junyao. Just as he landed, Luo Junyao turned around and attacked, and the two of them started fighting in the yard.
Feng Jian, who was standing aside and hugging the big cloak, was also a little dumbfounded. She also knew a little bit of boxing and kicking, and she knew that her princess was good at it. But just fighting the prince back and forth like this, it looked really exciting.
Woolen cloth.
"It should be...that the prince gave way to the princess, right?" The prince would definitely not really fight with the princess.
"It is indeed your prince who gave way to the princess, but if it weren't for the internal weakness, our little princess probably wouldn't be much different." Prince Wei, who arrived at an unknown time, held an exquisite hand stove and said with a smile.
Fengjian was startled, turned his head to look at Wei Changting and was stunned by his dress.
She remembered that Prince Wei was the most elegant person. He came back occasionally in the winter, and even if it was snowing heavily, he would not be seen wearing a fur cloak. Why is he not only wearing a thick cloak, but also holding a hand stove?
This look is even more strange than Prince Wei wearing a folding fan in the winter.
"Prince Wei?"
"Huh?" Wei Changting raised his eyes and responded lazily.
Fengjian asked cautiously: "Is the Crown Prince feeling unwell?"
Wei Changting sighed, coughed twice and said, "Isn't that right? My mother followed my father to southern Xinjiang. This year, my son has been living alone, and no one even asked me if I was sick. What's more?
He drags his sick body to do things for your prince, but he is here practicing swordsmanship with the princess. Do you think this is something a human being does?"
Feng Jian apologized with some embarrassment. Could she still say that the prince did something that was not human?
What's more, Your Majesty, your face doesn't look like you are sick.
Facing Fengjian's suspicious eyes, Wei Changting calmly explained: "I'm sweating, so my face looks rosier."
"Your Majesty, take care of yourself." Fengjian said dryly.
"Prince Qi, Marquis Xiaoyuan and General Luo are here." The shadow appeared at the door of the courtyard and reported respectfully.
The two people who were still competing immediately stopped. Luo Junyao turned around and asked, "My eldest brother is here?" Generally, when people call Mr. Luo or General Luo, they refer to Luo Jinyan, and when they call Luo Yun, they call them General Luo.
Duoying nodded and said, "Yes, Princess."
Luo Junyao immediately turned around and was about to run out, but was held back by Xie Yan.
Feng Jian sent the cloak up, and Xie Yan took it and put it on for her with his own hands before saying, "Be careful of catching a cold."
Luo Junyao smiled and said, "I understand. General Yu and Big Brother are looking for you because of the Wu Wei Army?"
Xie Yan nodded, "It's not a big deal, don't worry."
Luo Jun shook his head and said, "I'll go out to greet big brother first!" After saying that, he let go of Xie Yan and ran outside.
Wei Changting, who was standing aside watching the show, clicked his tongue and said with a smile: "It seems that in the heart of the princess, the eldest brother is more important."
Xie Yan glanced at him indifferently and said: "I don't remember that I have to bring Prince Wei out of the city for something." Apparently the regent heard Prince Wei's gossip even when he was competing with the princess.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Wei Changting coughed lightly and said: "Isn't it that the Lingchuan Hou Mansion is too boring? I am the only one guarding the huge Hou Mansion.
I'm too lonely. Come here and see if I can help you. Your Majesty, don't you appreciate it?"
Xie Yan nodded slowly and said: "Thank you, I have been working hard to protect the crown prince these days. It happens that the Beida camp still needs someone to inspect the rectification situation in the army. I originally planned to go there in person, but now I leave it to you. Be sure to be there
Completed within five days.”
"..." Xie Yan, you are not a human being!
While the two were talking, Luo Junyao had already come in holding Luo Jinyan's arm. The two were talking and laughing as they walked. The relationship between brother and sister was so good that it was enviable.
Wei Changting's eyes fell on the slender figure following the three people who came in. His eyes lit up instantly, and he had already passed by the three people and reached the person in a flash.
"Miss Shuang, happy New Year." Prince Wei said with a smile.
Leng Shuang glanced at Prince Wei strangely and nodded, "Hello, Prince Wei."
Luo Junyao, who was hit by the cold wind, turned around and saw Wei Changting clearly, and said with some surprise: "Prince Wei, are you sick?"
It's not that she despises men who wear fur cloaks and hold stoves in winter, but that Crown Prince Wei's dress is too outstanding among the men in front of her.
Prince Wei's expression was slightly distorted at an angle that no one else could see. Then he lowered his head and covered his mouth and coughed, "I'm feeling a little cold."
Luo Junyao looked at him sympathetically, "Then you need to keep warm. Do you want to ask the imperial doctor to take a look?" Then he took Luo Jinyan and took a few steps back without leaving a trace. Especially the flu, which is not easy to treat these days.
Prince Wei coughed a few more times and said, "No, I've already seen it and the doctor said it's not serious."
"That's good."
