This is what makes King Yan different from other princes.
At King Yan's banquet, all the people serving wine and tea were servants. There was not a single beautiful palace servant.
King Yan gave the order and the young chamberlain behind him poured wine for Shilang Feng, which was a great compliment to Shilang Feng. Shilang Feng felt this in his heart and smiled hurriedly to thank King Yan.
Then, I saw a pretty young chambermaid coming from the corner.
"Slave Feng San'er," the young chamberlain saluted with a smile, "Tonight, I will serve you as the minister drinking wine."
Shilang Feng stroked his beard and smiled: "Thank you, Eunuch Feng."
After a pause, he smiled and said, "The minister's surname is Feng, and my father-in-law is also surnamed Feng. It's quite a fate."
The young chamberlain responded with a smile: "Isn't that right? To have the same surname as the servant, I must have a virtuous ancestor."
His Highness King Yan saw this and was secretly amused.
Shilang Feng must have never imagined that his own granddaughter is right in front of him!
Not to mention Feng Shaojun, even though he knew Feng Shaojun's true identity, he couldn't find any flaws in it all day long. Feng Shaojun wore the face of a chamberlain and ran errands and messages around him, looking exactly like the proud Eunuch Feng.
Tsk tsk!
His Highness King Yan secretly praised it, raised his wine glass, and drank and chatted with everyone.
This banquet was indeed dull. Everyone drank a few drinks each, and then stopped drinking. During the conversation, there was no romance or government affairs, but they talked about their children and grandchildren studying and practicing martial arts.
This hit home for Feng Shilang.
There are three grandsons in the family, but each one is more mediocre than the other.
The only one who is extremely talented, intelligent and cunning and has inherited the excellent genes of the Feng family is Feng Shaojun, who was raised by the Cui family. He is separated from the Feng family and cannot control it at all.
Shilang Feng sighed secretly in his heart.
Eunuch Feng on the side seemed to have noticed that Feng Shilang was depressed. He picked up the wine bottle and filled it with a smile: "This is your first time to come to Prince Yan's Mansion, please have another drink."
Isn't it?
No matter what, it is a good thing to be able to successfully climb to the throne of Yan.
When his children and grandchildren failed to live up to expectations, he had no choice but to work on his own. As long as he made the right bets, he would never be able to win the position of minister in the future.
Shilang Feng raised his glass with a smile and drank it all in one gulp.
An hour later, the banquet broke up.
His Royal Highness King Yan personally saw everyone off.
Yuan Hai, Wang Zhang and others left one by one. Feng Shilang insisted on waiting until the end, peeked into his spare time, and whispered a few words to His Highness King Yan.
Eunuch Feng had a keen ear, and even though he was not standing very close, he still heard a lot.
Given Shilang Feng's shameless behavior, he naturally took the opportunity to show his loyalty and show his kindness to His Highness King Yan.
King Yan was usually majestic and solemn, and he was also a good hand in winning over people's hearts. He smiled and said to Feng Shilang: "In the past, the king of Japan had little contact with Feng Shilang. Today, I know that Feng Shilang is a loyal minister that is hard to find in the world."
"Since Minister Feng is willing to be loyal to this king, I will never treat him badly in the future."
After a pause, he said slowly: "Speaking of which, the Minister of Rites is also in his sixties. In two years, it will be time to become an official. In my opinion, the candidate to succeed the Minister of Rites is not Shilang Feng
No one else."
This last sentence scratched Feng Shilang's itch.
According to the common practice in the court, one minister leads to an official position, and the person who takes over as minister is usually selected from two ministers. There are also high-ranking officials from outside the country who are transferred to six ministers. Compared with the two, the former is more common.
On the surface, the two ministers of the Ministry of Rites are indistinguishable. However, in the officialdom of Daqi, the left is superior. Feng Shilang, the right minister, is firmly suppressed by the left minister.
If Feng Shilang wants to be the Minister of Rites, he must have strong support.
Feng Shilang suppressed the excitement in his heart and smiled humbly: "His Highness praised me so much that I am ashamed of myself. I have no other merits. The only thing I can use is my loyalty."
"In the future, if His Royal Highness the King of Yan has errands to do, I will do my best to serve you."
His Highness Prince Yan smiled and patted Feng Shilang on the shoulder affectionately: "It's getting late, Feng Shilang should go back home first!"
Then he sent the order and ordered brothers Shen You and Shen Jia to come over: "Shilang Feng has drunk a lot of wine. You two, take Shilang Feng back to Feng Mansion on my behalf."
The personal guards of Prince Yan's Mansion personally escorted him back to the mansion, which was quite dignified.
Furthermore, Shen Jia is the direct grandson of Feng Shilang, and Shen You is Feng Shilang's future grandson-in-law. King Yan ordered their brothers to escort Feng Shilang because he valued Feng Shilang.
Shilang Feng was in a good mood and thanked him repeatedly.
Before leaving, little Eunuch Feng, who had poured wine for him all night, waved goodbye to him cordially.
King Yan looked at it and smiled silently.
Shen You was busy with his errands and had no time to approach Eunuch Feng. He only glanced at him from a distance.
The night was dark, and the bright palace lantern could not break through all the darkness. Eunuch Feng happened to be standing next to a palace lantern, and his slightly thin figure was illuminated to every detail.
An almost complacent smile appeared on her pretty face.
Like a little fox.
Shen You withdrew his gaze and rode into the dark night.
…
When Feng Shilang traveled, he was accompanied by more than a dozen guards.
The capital of Da Qi has good public security. Occasionally, there are one or two small-minded thieves who have no courage to attack the important officials of the court.
Shen Jia was in a very happy mood. She turned around and smiled at Shen You and said, "Thanks to my grandfather, we can finally get out of Prince Yan's Mansion to get some fresh air."
As the personal bodyguards of King Yan, they would naturally not be bored when accompanying His Highness King Yan on errands. Unfortunately, they had just entered the mansion. In addition to practicing every day, they had to memorize the rules of the mansion. This made Shen Jia very bored.
Shen You didn't speak, his eyes were as bright as stars, which showed that he was in a good mood.
Can it be bad?
The boulder hanging overhead was moved away.
Shaojun's cousin no longer has to be forced to marry a sick man for happiness.
Eunuch Feng, who had appeared in his dreams many times, also appeared.
Judging from the dream, His Highness King Yan is the final winner. And he will also become His Highness King Yan's right-hand man, making great achievements and becoming extremely powerful.
Arriving outside the Feng Mansion, Shen Jiali got off his horse and helped Feng Shilang get out of the sedan chair.
Shen You despised Feng Shilang as a person in his heart, but without showing it on his face, he stretched out his hand to hold Feng Shilang's other arm.
At tonight's banquet, others didn't have a few drinks, but Mr. Feng actually drank a lot. The main reason was that Eunuch Feng, who was pouring the wine, was too attentive and kept pouring one glass after another.
Mr. Feng had a good drinking capacity. He was getting older after all. The evening breeze blew him up and he became drunk. He only relied on Shen Jia and Shen You to support him, otherwise he would not be able to stand firmly.
"Sanlang, Silang," Feng Shilang took advantage of the drunkenness to tell the two brothers: "You brothers should work hard in Prince Yan's palace and strive to work for His Highness as soon as possible."
Shen Jia was a straightforward person, and because of the incident involving Shaojun's cousin, it was rare for him to be so close to Feng Shilang at this time, so he couldn't help but say: "If His Highness Prince Yan hadn't come forward, would my grandfather have agreed to the marriage to Prince Qin? "
Mr. Feng was still drunk and replied casually: "Of course."
