Three hundred and forty-eight chapters are hard to guard against
The banquet has not even started yet, Li Qi went straight to the topic and pushed the entire banquet to a climax. Wang Fu was in a good mood and his appetite naturally increased greatly. He ate everything that tasted delicious and kept praising the delicious spicy hotpot.

Eating Malatang in this cold winter is undoubtedly a very refreshing thing. After Li Qi demonstrated how to eat Malatang to the crowd, everyone was like wolves and tigers, grabbing a big handful and using chopsticks.
With a gentle stroke, the vegetables fell into the pot one after another, and then they ate happily, raised their glasses and drank. It was so lively.
In fact, from the perspective of later generations, this cannot be regarded as an authentic Mala Tang, because it is missing a very important element, that is, chili pepper. But from a contemporary perspective, they do not know the existence of chili pepper at all.
So this problem no longer exists. Besides, Li Qi also specially developed mustard sauce and pepper oil, which are not much different from the Malatang of later generations.
Although the spicy hotpot made by Li Qi is only slightly spicy, some people are still so spicy that their faces turn red and they sweat profusely. At the same time, their whole bodies are warm and there is no chill at all. It is indescribably comfortable.
The more fragrant and spicy you eat, the more delicious you feel. Take a sip of Yaoxia Wushuang, and the double stimulation of ice and fire makes everyone feel extremely happy.
Nahe Shi Liebohe seemed to like eating this spicy hotpot very much. There were many bamboo sticks on his table, and he only ate meat and vegetables. He didn't even touch them. He sweated profusely on his face and buried his head.
Da Chi didn't even have the time to speak, and he was full of yearning and confidence in cooperating with Li Qi. Of course, he was also the most popular person in the audience. Wang Fu and his group of losers rushed to toast him.
, which greatly satisfied his vanity.
Li Qi was leaning in the corner holding a cup of hot tea. He didn't want to sit at the same table as these people. He looked at the luxurious scene with a blank expression and felt mixed emotions in his heart. He really didn't know whether he should praise his own banquet.
It was done well, but I still recited this sentence angrily. The warm breeze made me drunk, and I even thought of Hangzhou as Bianzhou!
Just when Li Qi was in a daze, a laugh suddenly sounded from the side, "Li Qi, I really didn't expect you to be such a hypocritical person."
Li Qi was startled for a moment, then reacted and said with a smile: "Your Highness, those are just words for the occasion. There is no need to take them seriously. Do you want me to hold a banner, stand here and shout loudly, 'Give me back the sixteen states of Yanyun'"
.”
Zhao Kai chuckled and said: "This is a good idea and worth a try."
"Then you go ahead, I'll pay for it." Li Qi glanced at Zhao Kai angrily, changed the subject and said, "By the way, why don't you eat it?"
Zhao Kai patted his belly and said, "I was full just now in the kitchen, how can I still eat now?"
Li Qi joked: "When you were in the kitchen just now, you didn't spit into the pot of the Jin Kingdom's special envoy."
"Li Qi, you are so contemptuous of me. How could I, Zhao Kai, do such vile things?" Zhao Kai said with disdain. After a pause, he said with a face full of gossip: "Maybe you vomited?"
Li Qi rolled his eyes and said, "I'm sorry. Although I'm not as gentleman as you, I still have basic professional qualities. This kind of thing will never happen in my kitchen."
"What a pity. What a pity."
"Oh? What did you say? What a pity?" Li Qi looked at Zhao Kai in surprise.
Zhao Kai coughed lightly and said, "You heard wrong. What I said was commendable."
Li Qi frowned and said, "No, I clearly heard what you said was a pity."
Zhao Kai's face sank and he looked at Li Qi resentfully.
This guy is really getting more and more evil. Li Qi smiled and said, "I must have heard wrong."
While the two were chatting, a servant suddenly ran in and said a few words in Wang Fu's ear. After Wang Fu heard this, his face became even more happy and he said loudly: "Today, I am here to take care of Mr. He Shilie."
, I specially invited Feng Xingshou’s singing song to add to the fun, and everyone will be able to hear Feng Xingshou’s beautiful sound later.”
Everyone cheered in unison.
Li Qi saw them hugging the official next to him and cheering when they came in. He couldn't help shaking his head and sighing inwardly, they are all a bunch of hypocrites, eating what's in the bowl and thinking about what's in the pot.
But there is one exception, and that is He Shilie Bohe. He has no idea about Feng Yinu now. After all, he currently does not want to offend his God of Wealth because of a woman.
Wang Fu couldn't help but feel very surprised when he saw his expression was so calm.
After a while, Feng Yinu, several piano players and some dancers came to the hall. Today, Feng Yinu's dress changed from her usual style. She was wearing a white brocade cotton skirt, which was very simple. She also had a light powder on her face.
With her youthful beauty, she is still very charming even with light make-up, but compared to her with heavy make-up, she is still a little less charming and her aura is much weaker.
As soon as she came in, her pair of shining eyes glanced left and right, as if looking for something. When she saw Li Qi in the corner, her expression softened slightly.
This little move of hers was well hidden, but it did not escape He Shi Liebohe's eyes. Seeing the two of them flirting with each other, she already believed Li Qi's words in her heart, and her loss was inevitable.
.
A group of people came to the middle of the hall, saluted Wang Fu and said, "Young ladies of the country come to see the Prime Minister."
Although Wang Fu was a little dissatisfied with Feng Yinu's dress today, he did not show it. He laughed and said: "There is no need to be polite, Mr. Feng. Come, I will introduce you to a distinguished person." After that, he moved toward him.
He Shilie, who was beside him, said with a smile: "This is the special envoy of the Kingdom of Jin, Mr. He Shilie."
Feng Yinu's eyes flashed with bitterness, but he still saluted He Shilie Bohe.
Heshi Liebohe just smiled and nodded, without saying much or even saying a word. Wang Fu on the side was planning to ask Feng Yinu to have a drink with Heshi Liebohe, but seeing his appearance
, couldn't help but froze for a moment, completely confused, thinking, what do you mean? For a moment, he saw that He Shi Liebohe still didn't express anything, Qian Jian waved his hand, and asked Feng Yinu to quickly prepare.
Li Qi almost laughed out loud when he saw Wang Fu's depressed look. Suddenly, he heard Zhao Kai next to him sigh: "This girl is really rare in the world."
Li Qi asked curiously: "Does His Highness, like Gao Yanei, think that Feng Xingshou is the most beautiful person in the Song Dynasty?"
When Zhao Kai heard Li Qi put him and Gao Yanei together, he looked slightly unhappy and shook his head: "That's not true, my cousin is prettier than her."
Li Qicuo said in astonishment: "Zhao Jingyan?"
Zhao Kai corrected her: "You should call her Yan Fuzongji."
"Sao Lei, Sao Lei, Yan Fuzongji."
Zhao Kai asked: "Who do you think is more beautiful, Feng Yinu or my cousin?"
Li Qidao: "Of course it's Feng Xingshou."
"Why?"
"Because I have never seen Zhao - Yan Fuzongji's daughter dressed in a dress, it's hard to think of her as a woman. But then again, in terms of handsomeness alone, I think Yan Fuzongji is at least among the top three. I'm afraid
Second only to you and me." Li Qi analyzed it very seriously.
Zhao Kai tried his best to suppress his smile, nodded and said: "I will definitely tell my cousin about this wonderful discussion."
Sweat! You are so ungrateful. Li Qi hurriedly said: "Let's talk about it, but don't say this is what I said, lest she trouble me again."
Zhao Kai smiled and said nothing, obviously not agreeing to Li Qi's plea.
There was a thud and the sound of the piano sounded. Li Qi turned around and saw five beautiful girls in red and white floral skirts already lined up in the middle of the hall, while Feng Yinu was sitting in the upper right corner, playing accompaniment.
Judging from her outfit today, she probably won't be dancing.
The crowd also habitually left Malatang aside and concentrated on admiring the dance.
Hearing another thump, Feng Yinu began to sing slowly, and the five dancers also danced gracefully. Although the five dancers were young, their dancing skills were all very superb.
Outside the palace, even among the people, Feng Yinu's dance troupe was the most awesome. After all, these were given to her by Master Li, and these piano players and dancers were selected by Song Huizong from the palace and given to Master Li.
, the skills are evident.
The exquisite dance, coupled with Feng Yinu's singing, had already made the crowd intoxicated, shaking their heads and beating the time to the music, forming a group of polite scum.
The only two who were sober were probably He Shi Liebohe and Li Qi. One didn't know how to appreciate the song and dance at all, so he had to focus on those five delicate faces. The other was standing in the corner at the back.
I can only focus on those five buttocks.
After playing three songs in a row, the music suddenly changed suddenly, and the dancer also retreated.
Zhao Kai was stunned for a moment and said to Li Qi: "Is this what you wrote to her?"
Nowadays, under the control of Li Qi, this new trend of music has penetrated into the major houses of the Northern Song Dynasty, and has gradually been recognized by people. However, some lyrics are still regarded as obscene by those scholar-bureaucrats, but this is not important.
As long as anyone is willing to pay to listen.
Li Qi shrugged and said, "Of course not, but a few days ago, many singers came to the Qin Mansion to ask for songs from the Red Lady. The Red Lady was soft-hearted, so she gave them some songs for free. I don't know much about this matter."
Zhao Kai asked curiously: "Then what is the name of this song?"
Since the prelude has undergone some changes, Li Qi was not very sure and said: "It seems to be called chess pieces."
As soon as he finished speaking, the song over there rang, "I wanted to get out of the area you controlled, but I walked into the battle situation you arranged. I had no strong defenses and no way to retreat. I wanted to escape from the trap you set, but I fell into it.
I'm in another dilemma. I don't have the courage to decide whether to win or lose, and I don't have the luck to escape. I'm like a chess piece, letting you decide whether to advance or retreat."
This song originally expressed women's sorrow for love, but when sung from Feng Yinu's mouth, it was full of helplessness about life, a kind of sadness that belongs to contemporary women.
Li Qi had to admit that she sang this song much better than Ji Hongnu, because there was more real emotion in her singing. And this song undoubtedly resonated with all the officials present.
The laughter on their faces gradually disappeared, but was replaced by a touch of sadness.
After the last hint of sad tune disappeared in mid-air, there was still silence in the hall. Because He Shiliebohe couldn't understand what Feng Yinu was singing, and seeing that the atmosphere was so weird, he felt a little uncomfortable, so he was the first to applaud.
When he applauded, the others woke up and applauded one after another.
Feng Yinu briefly glanced at Li Qi, stood up and said thank you, and then went to Wang Fu with everyone to salute. This also heralded that her performance was over.
Wang Fu said a few words of praise, but his eyes were always on Heshi Liebohe who was aside. Unfortunately, he didn't get any answers. This made Wang Fu a little unhappy. Should you leave or stay?
Say something. He asked tentatively: "Mr. He Shilie, what do you think of this song by Feng Xing?"
Heshi Liebohe pretended to be confused and said, "Don't make fun of me, Mr. Wang. I can't understand a word of it. How do I know whether this song is good or bad?"
After hearing what he said, Wang Fu had no choice but to ask Feng Yinu to step aside for the time being. Without Jin Ru as an excuse, he would never dare to touch Feng Yinu easily. After all, Master Li was not someone to be trifled with, but he couldn't think of anything.
I understand why Heshi Liebohe suddenly became like a serious gentleman, which really troubled him.
Feng Yinu finally breathed a sigh of relief. When he walked to the door, he couldn't help but give Li Qi two grateful glances. But the latter was discussing the song with Zhao Kai and didn't notice it at all.
Although Feng Yinu left, the banquet was still going on. Zhao Kai chatted with Li Qi for a while, then casually found an excuse to leave and go back. He didn't like this kind of banquet.
Not long after Zhao Kai left, Ma Qiao suddenly came to the door and made a gesture to Li Qi.
Li Qi quietly walked out and whispered: "What's the matter?"
"Deputy Commander, something happened to Feng Xingshou."
