Xiao Duye’s face alternated between green and red. His carriage could not even enter the Qilin Hall, but the other party could go straight in. To think that he was still smug. Did he think that he had given the Old Marquis a huge favor?
Look, he didn’t need it at all.
“Aiya, I’m old. It’s not good to walk too much. Let’s take the carriage!” After the Old Marquis pretended to sigh, he brought his son, Su Xiaoxiao, and Wei Ting into Wei Qing’s carriage.
Wei Qing’s carriage bypassed Xiao Duye and entered the palace.
This was the first snub Xiao Duye had encountered after being conferred the title of king. He could not help but frown.
He had heard of Zhuge Qing from the officials of the diplomatic mission who had returned. It was said that he was a strategist in the residence of the Eldest Prince of the Western Jin Dynasty, Yuwen Huai. He had followed Yuwen Huai for three years and helped him eliminate many opponents. Even the Western Jin Emperor valued him.
However, no matter what, he was just a strategist. Was his father too polite to Zhuge Qing?
Xiao Duye was unhappy. Coincidentally, Xiao Zhonghua’s carriage arrived.
When they brushed past each other, Xiao Zhonghua stopped the carriage and lifted the curtain to greet him. “So it’s Big Brother. Why aren’t you going in?”
Xiao Zhonghua had contributed to the destruction of the White Lotus Society and was extremely famous among the commoners. However, now that Xiao Duye had contributed to quelling the chaos in the southwest, he had many supporters among the commoners. He was considered to be on par with him.
Xiao Zhonghua’s advantage was that he was stronger with the support of his mother’s family. Xiao Duye’s mother was not from a high status, but Emperor Jing Xuan doted on him and gave him a wife with a powerful background. From the looks of it, he had a higher chance of winning.
Xiao Duye found a balance in his younger brother. He smiled and said, “I’m waiting for Third Brother to go in together.”
“Chi
A disdainful snort came from the carriage.
Xiao Duye frowned.
Xiao Zhonghua smiled warmly. “Jing Yi is playing chess with me. He lost again and is unhappy. Big Brother, please go first.”
Xiao Duye lowered the curtain and left.
Jing Yi said unhappily, “Why did Cousin give way to him?”
Xiao Zhonghua said calmly, “There’s order among the young and old.”
After Wei Qing’s carriage arrived at the Qilin Hall, the assassin and Mei Ji went to the entrance of the palace to fetch Old Madam Wei and the others.
The three little ones jumped out of the carriage impatiently.
Xiaohu patted the carriage with his small hands. “Sister Xiyue, Sister Xiyue, come down too!”
Wei Xiyue was led out of the carriage by Li Wan. She was carrying two jars in her arms, one containing dried meat and the other, pine nuts.
This was the first time Wei Xiyue had entered the palace. Looking at the unfamiliar environment, she was a little confused.
The three children had been to the palace before, but they had never been to the Qilin Hall and were stunned.
Xiaohu scratched his head. “Where is this?”
“Qilin Hall.” Dahu pointed at the plaque hanging on the hall. Li Wan was a little surprised. “Dahu, do you know those three words?”
“Yes.” Dahu nodded. “Uncle taught me.” Li Wan touched his little head. “Dahu is so smart.”
Erhu said, “Erhu is also smart.”
Xiaohu placed his hands on his hips. “Xiaohu is the smartest!”
Su Xiaoxiao walked over in amusement and pinched his face. “Yes, yes, yes. You’re the smartest.”
The Wei family was amused by Xiaohu. The little guy professed to be good at everything and bragged about being first.
The wind was strong outside, so the group helped Matriarch Wei in first.
The seats were placed on both sides. There were two seats at a table, similar to the palace banquet of the Western Jin.
Zhuge Qing’s seat was the first seat opposite. From this, it could be seen how much Emperor Jing Xuan valued him.
Ever since the Wei family’s accident, the women of the Wei family had never attended any palace banquet. This was the first time in four years that everyone attended all dressed up, including Old Madam Wei. fɾēewebnσveℓ.com
