Chapter 337 Cousins
"Oh, I've arrived just in time. I can still have a meal." Situ Tianming came over exhausted, as if he had been traveling for several days.
"Old Five!" "Fifth Senior Brother!" "Master!"······
Li Mulan was closest to the door of the hall, so she went over first. "Fifth Senior Brother, have you just arrived in Kyoto?" Then she looked behind him and asked, "Where is Fifth Sister-in-law? Didn't you say you two were going out to travel together?"
Situ Tianming walked to Li Mulan's table, picked up Huo Yuanruo's cup and drank the wine in it in one gulp. "I went to the eldest brother's house first, and found that the eldest sister-in-law and the third sister-in-law were there, so I left Yue'er there. So I hurried over to have a bite of food."
When Huo Yuanruo saw that Situ Tianming had finished his wine, he immediately offered his master more wine. Situ Tianming drank three cups in a row, not knowing whether he was thirsty or just craving for wine.
Liu Sheng at another table couldn't stand it anymore, "Come here quickly, do you still have any manners?"
Situ Tianming was not annoyed, he just walked over with a smile, and pinched Dongfang Kangning's little face when he left, "Why are you thinner? Eat more."
Dongfang Kangning's face instantly turned red. He was just arguing with Chu Jie, but Fifth Uncle actually pinched his face. This was too...
"I know, Fifth Uncle."
After greeting everyone one by one, Situ Tianming sat next to Lin Yunfan.
"Hey, why is the Regent sitting there? Hahaha, you are really wronged."
Everyone at the table was trying to hold back their laughter. They were indeed brothers from the same school, as they had the same ability to make people laugh.
Chu Chenfeng nodded slightly and said nothing.
The men's table seemed much more boring, with people just toasting each other and chatting about current national affairs.
"Your Highness, I didn't understand the Crown Prince of Northern Qi well enough and I'm sorry to have caused you trouble." Wufeng raised his glass to toast Chu Chenfeng.
Chu Chenfeng stood up quickly and said, "It's okay, as long as you don't blame me."
Wu Feng sighed, "Alas, the favor I owed in the early years has now been repaid. From now on, his affairs have nothing to do with me. Whatever the prince wants, don't worry about me."
"Thank you, senior."
No one in the hall noticed how ugly Qingyu's face looked when she heard the words "Crown Prince of Northern Qi"...
Dongfang Haotian also spoke at this time, "Although my Tianlang Nation is not as powerful as your Great Chu, I can't stand Simon doing things that are not worthy of being on the stage all day long. If you need anything, just ask."
"Thank you, Lord."
Chu Chenfeng thanked them one by one for these favors. He knew that they were all doing it for Li Mulan's sake.
Xiao Heng, who usually didn't talk much, stood up slowly at this moment. The two of them were originally sitting closest to each other, but neither of them took the initiative to talk to the other.
Seeing him like this, Chu Chenfeng's eyes flickered, as if he had some emotions. But he still stood up slowly and looked at him.
But what Xiao Heng said next shocked everyone in the hall.
"Cousin, this is the first time that my brother and I have officially met. Although, I have already thanked you three times, cousin, I will replace the wine with tea here, thank you."
Chu Chenfeng pursed his lips for a long time before speaking, "You're welcome. If it weren't for the empress, my mother would have died many times."
No one knew about their relationship, not even Xuan Ming, who was closest to Xiao Heng.
After Li Mulan was surprised, she whispered to Chu Jie beside her, "Is your uncle and my eighth senior brother cousins?"
"Yes." Chu Jie might be the only person here who knows the truth.
Liu Feng muttered quietly, "Didn't they say that the Regent's mother was a woman from the Jianghu? Then... I don't know how she disappeared. There are all kinds of rumors."
"Actually, she's not some chivalrous woman. She was the little princess of Southern Xinjiang at that time. She's the younger sister of the current Queen of Southern Xinjiang." Chu Jie's little mouth was bulging with food, and he looked very cute.
Xiao Linzi watched the whole process from the side, and was so anxious that he reminded in a low voice, "Your Majesty, you have eaten enough."
Chu Jie frowned, "What's wrong with you, you always spoil my fun. You didn't let me eat in Feitian Pavilion, and you didn't let me eat dinner again. You want to starve me to death."
Xiao Linzi knelt down hurriedly and said, "I deserve to die. I was just worried that the emperor would not be able to digest the food at night if he ate too much."
Chu Jie's face turned serious, "Get up, you're so happy, if you keep crying for me on this happy day, you'll have to go back to the palace."
Li Mulan touched Chu Jie's head and said, "Okay, it's not a big deal. I'll ask my sister to make some tea for you to help you digest your food. Now, will Master Xiao Lin feel relieved?"
Xiao Linzi stood up quickly and said, "Princess, what you said makes sense."
Chu Jie snorted twice.
It was Qingyu, whose face was pale at the moment, and who just nodded woodenly when she heard Li Mulan's words.
It was Zhang who first noticed that something was wrong with her. "Qingyu, are you feeling unwell? Your face is so pale."
This attracted the attention of the others at the table. Li Mulan looked worried, "Sister, are you feeling unwell?"
Qingyu smiled faintly, "No, maybe I didn't get enough rest yesterday. I'll just go to bed early tonight."
"Sister Qingyu is a martial arts expert with strong internal strength, so she doesn't get sick that easily." Huo Yuanruo was very calm. He was the first one to pick up his chopsticks when he sat at the table, and he is still eating now.
Even Zhang was a little worried, "Yuanruo, are you feeling bloated?"
Huo Yuanruo said innocently, "I'm not full. I want to have some snacks later. I heard that the chefs who came today are all from the palace. Hehehe, I want to eat some snacks from the palace."
Zhang was very upset, and it was good that he didn't support it.
Li Xi comforted Zhang, "Mom, Brother Huo may have eaten it. He can eat five of us by himself. You don't have to worry."
Zhang nodded and drank the water awkwardly. This appetite was something most people couldn't afford.
Chu Jie immediately looked at Huo Yuanruo, "Brother Yuanruo, try them later and see which ones are delicious. I will ask Xiao Linzi to deliver them to you every day in the future."
"Really?"
Li Mulan said unhappily, "It's fake." Then she looked at Chu Jie, "Don't think about sending him cakes every day. I've noticed that he's gained a lot of weight recently. Don't let him get so fat that he can't even use Qinggong. I'll see if Fifth Senior Brother will punish him."
Huo Yuanruo immediately refused to do it upon hearing this, "Uncle Junior Master, you underestimate me too much. My Qinggong is not that good. Even if I were another 100 pounds heavier, I could still fly."
"Humph, if you gain another 100 pounds, you won't be able to be called a wife."
"I don't want a wife."
Situ Tianming at the next table mocked, "If you gain another 100 pounds, don't say you are my apprentice when you go out. It's embarrassing."
Huo Yuanruo felt wronged, "Master~"
"Your father and your elder brother will be here in the next two days. You are so fat, I don't know if they will recognize you."
Huo Yuanruo, who had been looking dejected, immediately became excited after hearing this, "My father and my eldest brother are coming? Why didn't they tell me?"
