In the city palace, people were drinking glasses, changing cups, and you were coming and going. It was indescribably lively and joyful. Today, Yan Zhiyu wore a yellow dress with a giant python embroidered on it. Although it was slightly different from the royal bright yellow, if If you don't recognize it carefully, you really think it is wearing a dragon robe, because the shape of the giant python taking off looks very much like a dragon soaring into the clouds.
Yan Zhiyu's ambition is no longer concealed.
Of course, he didn't want to hide it today and show off to the guests. The guests even included some officials from nearby states and counties. These officials had very good personal relationships with him. They were all established in advance. If the mountain is high and the emperor is far away, they won't care. so much.
Someone present knew that the royal imperial envoy was coming today, so they asked loudly at the banquet, "City Lord, I heard that Prince Anfeng and Consort Leng will be coming today, why haven't you seen them yet?"
Yan Zhiyu raised his glass and smiled lightly, "If you sincerely wish you a birthday, you will always come."
"I heard that according to the schedule, we will arrive in the city today. How come it's already dark and you still haven't come? Could it be that I want you, the city lord, to go out and greet me in person?"
"You want the city lord to greet you? How big of an air are you? Bah!"
"Isn't that right? If you sincerely wish you a birthday, you should have arrived in Fengdu City a few days ago to show your sincerity. I just arrived late today, and I haven't arrived yet. It's obvious that I don't want to give the city lord face. In my opinion, he is blocking people back. That’s it, I was born to accept his love.”
"Yes, the imperial court has received a lot of tribute from Fengdu City in recent years, so it should be satisfied."
"Fengdu City should no longer pay tribute. Why? Hundreds of years ago, Fengdu City was not part of the Northern Tang Dynasty. It should have been divided and made an independent country."
Everyone knew what Yan Zhiyu was thinking, and after drinking a few drinks, they naturally followed his lead and said what he liked to hear.
Yan Zhiyu was high-profile today, and he was not afraid to say these words. He was holding a wine glass with a smile on his face, but his eyes were looking around at the guests present to see who was dissatisfied with these remarks. He looked around and found that everyone agreed. At least, If he superficially agrees, he will be satisfied.
Next, it was toasts in turn.
Su Rushuang was also sitting next to him. Besides her, the two Madam Rus were also present. According to the rules, Madam Ru could not sit with them. However, the two Madam Rus dressed up, although they were with Su. Rushuang is about the same age, but as young as her daughter.
Yan Zhiyu's children were all born to these two Mrs. Ru, so they called Su Rushuang mother, but they were not affectionate.
There are many beautiful concubines in the house, so naturally they will not come out on this occasion today.
Even this made Su Rushuang jealous and uncomfortable, because when the guests were toasting, they rarely mentioned her, but would say some compliments to the two Mrs. Ru.
Although this was the case in previous years, I don't know why, but this year it seems more impetuous and furious.
Especially, when the guests praised Yan Zhiyu's son for how outstanding he was, she felt her heart boiling with anger and could hardly suppress it.
Just when she was about to get up and leave, Yan Zhiyu pressed her hand, put down the cup in his hand, and whispered into her ear with a slight smile: "Do you remember how Leng Fengqing died?"
Su Rushuang felt panic in her heart. She looked at him smiling slightly, his eyes were violent and bloodthirsty, and his words that were cold to the bone were like knives piercing her heart.
"Yan Zhiyu, you will be punished!" She lowered her voice and gritted her teeth.
Yan Zhiyu's eyes were cold, "Everything happened because of you. If I get retribution, your retribution will be even worse than mine!"
Su Rushuang's whole body felt weak and she could hardly move while sitting on the chair.
"Wolf, how can there be a wolf?"
Then I heard someone exclaiming, and saw a snow wolf rushing in. Immediately, a large number of gray wolves rushed in. The wolves came menacingly and looked ferocious. Those who used force on the scene all drew their swords towards each other.
