Chapter 306 Truth or Dare
The news of Xia Huaijun's suicide, a generation of prime ministers, came on the day Zi'an came back from the Three Dynasties.
Ni Rong informed Murong Jie, and Murong Jie informed Zi'an. At that time, Zi'an had just entered the gate of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and Yuan Cuiyu was still here and hadn't left, so she went back three times and wanted to come back here.
Ni Rong told Zian that before he died, he begged the jailer to pass on a word, saying "I'm sorry" to Danqing County Lord.
After Zi'an heard this, she didn't have any ups and downs in her emotions. This was what she expected. Xia Huaijun knew that dying like this was the best way to improve his face.
She told Yuan Cuiyu the news, Yuan Cuiyu was stunned for a moment, "Dead?"
The voice didn't seem to belong to her, even she felt strange.
After seventeen years of entanglement, the relationship between them was finally broken by life and death.
"Yes, he died. Before he died, he asked the jailer to tell you that he was sorry." Zi'an said.
Yuan Cuiyu nodded silently, "Yes!"
"Will mother forgive him?" Zi'an looked at her expression and asked.
Yuan Cuiyu raised her head. Although her eyes are better, her eyesight is much weaker than before, and there is always a layer of mist. "It doesn't make sense anymore, does it? Forgive me or not, it's over."
"It's all over!" Zian chewed on this sentence, yes, it's indeed all over, this part of the Prime Minister's Mansion has completely changed the story.
Zian smiled, "Yes, then today is the day when my daughter returns home. What delicious food did mother prepare? He is really picky."
Murong Jie glanced at her indifferently, "What kind of entertainment does this king need? Whatever you want."
Nanny Yang walked over with a smile, "We didn't do anything today, someone else has contracted it."
"Who contracted it?" Zi'an was surprised.
"Hu Huanxi, the female shopkeeper of the Hu family, she asked the chef of Dingfeng to come over early in the morning. For this meal, Dingfeng is closed today."
Zi'an let out a cry, "Why is this so embarrassing?"
"Why are you sorry?"
Said Mr. Cao, when Mr. Cao arrived, Hu Huanxi came in with two maids, and said with a smile: "See the prince and concubine, and I will thank the concubine for the people of Beijing."
Knowing that she contributed a lot this time, Zian said gratefully: "A thank you is always too superficial, so I won't say it. I will remember what you did."
Hu Huanxi said: "I pay, and it doesn't take a little effort."
But Murong Jie said: "Isn't it just a family meal today? As for your Dingfeng House being closed?"
Yuan Cuiyu said with a smile: "Last night Liuliu came and said that when I return home today, I want to invite everyone to sit down and have a good meal. These days I'm not less afraid, and I really should have a good meal. I'll reward everyone."
In this way, what was supposed to be a family banquet turned into a banquet.
Chen Taijun brought twelve gourd babies and Chen Liuliu to make a grand appearance, Prince Li arrived on time with Princess Aman and the yellow dog Dajin, King Liang brought a jar of good wine, Rou Yao brought Su Qing, of course, she was the one to find Su Qing said that they came together, Brother Xiao Xiao also came with fine wine, Zhuang Zhuang unexpectedly came here with Liang Shi.
Seeing the guests appear one by one, Zi'an's eyelashes filled with tears. The wedding banquet was too messy and lacked blessings. Now that the big guys are attending this three-dynasty back door, she feels that she has married again.
Pooh!
There were so many people, two tables were divided, the twelve generals sat at one table, and the others also sat at one table.
Zhuang Zhuang and Xiao Xiao seemed to have lost their grievances. They sat at the same table with a calm expression, but they never looked at each other, and even if they accidentally saw each other, they would quickly look away.
Before toasting, Su Qing asked General Chen's, "By the way, when you were asked to protect Zi'an, you never showed up. Where did you go?"
Chen Shu, the eldest brother of the Chen family, said: "Our brothers were ordered to go out that day. Before Jichun, we fell into a trap. Afterwards, we were locked in a secret room. Our brothers were guarded by poisonous snakes."
"Then who is the person who locked you up?" Xiao Tuo asked.
Chen Niu, the second elder brother of the Chen family, said, "I didn't know at first, but later I found out that it was the Empress Dowager."
Zi'an said angrily: "It must be her, she was the one who locked me up."
Chen Hu, the third brother of the Chen family, said: "Princess, the Empress Dowager saved you, but our brothers are innocent, we were threatened by snakes for so many days in vain."
Chen Long covered his mouth, "I remember that the sixth younger brother was trembling with fright in the first two days. He was most afraid of snakes. It's a pity that he is still called Chen Snake, and he is so afraid of being like that."
The brothers of the Chen family talked about interesting things one after another. The panic and fear at that time have now become fun things, that is, the Empress Dowager, if someone else, they would have to bear some resentment.
The main thing is not to dare to resent.
Murong Jie was in high spirits tonight, he drank on his own, occasionally turned his head to look at Zian, looked at him, and drank another glass, his eyes filled with joy.
Except for state banquets and palace family banquets, Murong Jie almost never attends other banquets, so he lacks banquet experience. Blocked, he is a veritable topic stopper.
But today, with two topic terminators here, the scene can still be lively, thanks to Liu Liu and Rou Yao.
Just like, Su Qing heard General Chen's talk about being imprisoned in the secret room, and asked everyone how to deal with it, and everyone expressed their opinions, saying how they would escape the danger and so on.
After listening to what everyone said, they turned around and asked Murong Jie, "If you were trapped in a secret room, and there were a bunch of snakes guarding it outside, how would you escape?"
Murong Jie held the wine in his hand, drank it slowly, and said: "That can't happen to me."
Su Qing took the trouble to say: "Didn't you say what if? If it happened to you, how would you deal with it?"
"Impossible things, there is no if." He blocked the topic with one word.
Seeing that he was bored, Su Qing asked Prince Li again, "My lord..."
"Shut up!" Prince Li glared at him, "It's very noisy."
Su Qing was bumped twice, and felt that the banquet lost its luster immediately.
Hu Huanxi suddenly made a suggestion, "Let's play a truth or dare, shall we?"
Hearing this, Zian suddenly looked up at Hu Huanxi, "What are you talking about playing?"
Hu Huanxi explained: "Truth or Dare is played like this. There are so many people here, everyone writes their names on a bamboo raft, and then the county chief draws a lottery. Those who win can choose to answer the truth." problem, or choose a big risk, a big risk is actually a punishment.”
Zian stared at Hu Huanxi, trembling all over, "You know how to play truth or dare?"
"Of course, I proposed..." Hu Huanxi stopped talking, and suddenly looked up at Zi'an, the expressions of the two were the same.
This look at each other lasted for a full ten seconds. Everyone was looking at them, and they didn't know why they suddenly stopped talking.
In the end, Zi Anxu responded with a smile, "I didn't expect shopkeeper Hu to play the game of truth or dare. I've heard of it before, but I haven't played it."
"This king has played!" Prince Li said indifferently.
Zian and Hu Huanxi looked at Prince Li in unison.
Prince Li raised his head, "My ancestors are religious."
It is not surprising that the Empress Dowager taught it, she seems to know everything.
