Chu Hua is a little over 20 years old, about the same age as Chu Yun. It's just that he doesn't look as good-looking as Chu Yun.
At this time, Chu Hua did not wear a gorgeous prince's python robe, but wore similar brocade clothes like Chu Yun. In comparison, Chu Hua looked rougher, and his whole body was not as well-kempt as Chu Hua.
However, Chu Hua is taller and stronger, less like a prince and more like a warrior.
"Brother Wang said you couldn't come, why are you here again?" Chu Yun also wanted to salute him a little like the others, and then stood up and asked.
"How could I not come to your birthday party? I have already made an agreement with my father and specifically asked him to let me out!" Chu Hua laughed and said, "Besides, I stay in the Laoshizi Palace every day.
I’m almost holding my breath! It would be a shame not to come to such a lively place..."
"Really?" Chu Yun narrowed his eyes, looked at him and asked, "Isn't Brother Wang running away without telling the king? How could I remember that the king has issued an order, ordering you not to leave the palace this month..."
Then, everyone saw that His Highness the Crown Prince stiffened for a second, and denied firmly: "No, no, no... I... I just came out after telling him..."
"It doesn't matter..." Chu Yun shook his head: "Since I'm here, let's take a seat first. At most, I can go back and copy the documents at night..."
Hearing this, Chu Hua's face really fell. He seemed to have thought of some bad consequences... but he still coughed twice and said calmly: "Everyone is free from etiquette. You should eat and drink as you should. Don't worry about me.
, I’m here to join in the fun... Hey, you guys, stop standing still and continue serving food!"
After saying that, he also raised his hand and patted Chu Yun on the shoulder, and walked to the front hall with him.
After all, the prince's identity is here, so he naturally has to sit in the front seat.
With the permission of the prince, everyone sat down again and continued chatting. Watching the maids serving the dishes, the scene became lively again.
While walking, when he passed by Wang Shishi's table, Chu Hua looked at Wang Shishi who was dressed boldly and said, "Shishi, why are you dressed like this? Won't your father beat you to death?"
"It's none of your business!" Wang Shishi suppressed her blush and said angrily.
"Of course it's none of my business. You're already flirting with your brother Yun'er. Who among other men can stand you..." Chu Hua raised his voice and said, then he didn't care about her yelling behind her and walked up directly.
Went to the front desk.
Liu Yueqi watched this scene in the audience and was stunned: "This... this woman is so fierce. Do you dare to scold the prince?"
"Brother Liuyue, you don't know something. Prince Chu Hua is greedy for playing lazy politics and is not liked by the King of Chu. His status in the court is actually not as high as that of the Crown Prince Chu Yun. But the King of Chu only has such a son, and he will not be able to hold the throne in the future.
It can only be passed on to him, so everyone is still unwilling to offend him... But the Wang family is different. Wang Erzhe himself is the prime minister of the dynasty. There are not a few officials in the family in the dynasty. They are huge and powerful. As long as they don't offend, they will die.
Since you have become the crown prince, it’s okay to have small fights in normal times." Jiang Tong explained from the side.
Is that so? Liu Yueqi lowered her head and thought for a while.
But judging from the current situation, the relationship between Chu Yun and Chu Hua is still quite good.
Soon, with the continuous efforts of the maids, dishes were placed on the table in front of everyone, with matching wine and scented tea beside them.
It smelled quite fragrant. Liu Yueqi picked up a piece of meat and took a bite. She was worthy of being an imperial chef in the palace. The meat was fresh and tender, with a good texture. The taste was really good. The various seasonings added were also very particular... not even two handfuls.
Brushes really can't hang out in the palace.
Even Prince Chu Hua, who often ate dishes cooked in the imperial dining room, was full of praise for today's food, saying that he had never had such delicious food in the palace before.
However, for such a banquet, toasting to the Crown Prince is the core process. When those delicious dishes were first served, they couldn't help but taste a few mouthfuls, and then people began to toast Chu Yun one after another. There were many people, and if one person toasted a glass,
No matter how much he drinks, Chu Yun can't hold it back, so Chu Yun takes a sip and doesn't drink more.
The prince just sat aside, not caring about Chu Yun saying polite words next to him, just eating and drinking, seemingly very happy.
Liuyue below was eating and drinking together, and from time to time, Jiang Tong next to him would introduce the identities of the young men who were toasting. He also gained a lot. His original purpose of coming here was to take the opportunity to get to know some of the young men in the upper echelons of Chujing.
Now I recognize him, but I don't know him yet.
After a long time, most of the high-status young men in the front row went to toast, and those sitting in the middle began to come up one after another.
"By the way, Brother Jiang, you have such a high status, why didn't I see you for a toast just now?"
"What's the point of toasting? There are so many people. How can he remember clearly..." Jiang Tong waved his hand: "A rich and handsome man like him usually has too many people to make friends with. One more is not more, one less is not more.
…Anyway, it’s best for us to stay away from such an outstanding man!”
Liu Yueqi laughed. He may not know other unknown people, but you, the son of a second-grade official, can you still remember it? Besides... Liu Yueqi looked at him carefully and felt that even if this person is not a second-grade official
His son, most people will remember him.
Liu Yueqi looked at Bai Yeqing. Unexpectedly, Sister Xiaobai's eating appearance this time was... not so ugly, but rather elegant! Could it be that after several days of eating with Mrs. Zhong and the others, her eating habits were different?
changed?
Little did they know, Bai Ye leaned on her chest, and Little Snake reminded frantically: "Bear it down! You must hold it back! If you lose face in such a high-end occasion, the master will definitely dislike you..."
Even if Bai Yeqing wanted to eat haise again, she would hold back and chew it slowly.
Therefore, there were still many eyes looking towards her with amazement, which made Liu Yueqi feel uncomfortable for a while.
However, soon, he began to worry about his own problems.
Do you want to go up and make a toast yourself?
To be honest, he was really not familiar with Chu Yun, and not all the people in front went to toast. In addition to Jiang Tong, Liu Yueqi also saw many people eating and drinking by themselves, and did not go up, probably
I also feel that I am not familiar with the prince, and coming here is just a formality. The prince may not know me when I go there, so I can just eat some by myself.
Thinking of this, Liu Yueqi decided not to go. Except for this Chu Jing know-it-all, no one here seemed to know him. It seemed... there was no point in going up there. Besides, Liu Yueqi didn't like the excitement, so
He went up to toast alone in a big scene, maybe he was a little...stage frightened.
"Brother Liuyue, you have to go and make a toast!" At this moment, Jiang Tong said suddenly.
"???" Liu Yueqi was stunned: "Why is it that His Highness the Prince and I have only met each other once, and we are not very familiar with each other... Besides, I am only the son of a merchant, how did I get such a high profile!"
"That's wrong!" Jiang Tong drank a glass of wine and said, "From some perspectives, you are on the same level as the Crown Prince!"
Liu Yueqi became even more confused after saying this: "Ping level? Me? Are we all from Chu country?"
"Have you forgotten?" Jiang Tong's mouth suddenly showed an evil smile: "You are His Royal Highness's love rival!"
"Get lost!" Liu Yueqi couldn't care less and just blurted out.
Jiang Tong was not annoyed: "Listen to me and analyze it to you. Is your fiancée sitting across from you now?"
"yes."
"Did Chu Yun pursue your fiancée before?"
"That's right..."
"Wait a moment, after the young men here have finished toasting, His Royal Highness will come down from the stage and toast the girls one by one! Then you say that with His Royal Highness's character, everyone must be toasted! Your future wife is so
She looks good. People will definitely ask who she is and why she appeared at the Crown Prince’s banquet... Then the Crown Prince will say, this woman dumped me once; then people will ask why? Then the Crown Prince will say, because over there
The one sitting down jumped into the street..."
"Stop, stop, stop! Stop, stop! What a mess..." Liu Yueqi was immediately dizzy.
But, if you think about it carefully, what this guy says really makes sense!
If His Highness the Crown Prince really wants to propose a toast to Sister Xiaobai, that Shishi girl is so excited, she will definitely ask about Sister Xiaobai’s identity, and then, and then he will definitely be asked... Damn it, how can I do this?
Isn't it doomed?
Liu Yueqi suddenly regretted that she should not have agreed to Chu Yun's birthday party in the first place. Isn't this a public execution?
"So, instead of being exposed in public, why not step in by yourself? After all, I am also a decent person..."
Yes, Liu Yueqi was also a decent person during his lifetime.
Since he is going to be caught out later, he might as well go to a bar now. At least he can make a good impression. After all, Chu Yun still looks very gentle and elegant. Maybe he can find a place for himself...
"Okay...I'll go then..." So, when it was his turn, Liuyue Qi forced a smile on her face and walked up slowly.
Chu Yun, who was sitting on the stage, saw Liu Yue Qi. He was stunned for a moment and then immediately showed a smile: "When did Mr. Liu Yue come? Why didn't you come to find me? I specially arranged seats for you and Miss Bai!"
"
Hearing this, Liu Yueqi's first reaction was to be flattered.
There were specially arranged seats for the two of them. Where were they? They couldn't be sitting with those children of high-ranking officials!
"How dare a commoner to disturb His Royal Highness? Today is His Highness's birthday, so there must be a lot of trivial matters, so Miss Xiaobai and I each found a place to sit down..." Liu Yue said with a smile.
"I don't have any trivial matters, I'll leave them to my servants..." Chu Yun smiled and waved his hands: "When I just entered the door, I saw that you two were reluctant to come forward, and I was thinking of going to toast Miss Bai later.
, I didn’t expect Mr. Liuyue to come up now..."
"How dare you trouble the Crown Prince to go there in person? Although I am a rough guy, I still understand this etiquette!" Liu Yueqi clasped her fists repeatedly: "I wish His Highness the Crown Prince great success and all the best!"
After saying that, he drank the drink in his hand.
Chu Yun seemed to be stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "Then let me borrow Mr. Liuyue's good words!" After saying that, he drank the wine in the cup directly.
