Longevity begins with an old woman

Chapter 262 Banquet
"Oh!"

Facing Lu Kuai's alarmist words, Xu Mu just responded lightly, without much change in expression.

"Hey! I'm also friendly for Daoists, so it's fine if you don't believe me!"

Seeing that Xu Mu didn't seem to believe at all, Lu Kuai shook his head and sighed.

"I only believe that man can conquer nature!" Xu Mu smiled.

Lu Kuai was about to say something when Qiao Qianqian's voice came from not far away.

"What are you two talking about? Can the little girl listen too!" Qiao Qianqian said with a smile.

"It's nothing, nothing!" Lu Kuai said with a smile: "The banquet is about to start, let's go up first, it would be bad if His Highness waited!"

Lu Kuai strode towards the small hill where the inviting platform is not far away.

"Friend Xu, what did you say?" Qiao Qianqian asked persistently.

"nothing!"

"Really nothing?"

Qiao Qianqian couldn't believe it.

"Not really!"

"OK then!"

Qiao Qianqian stopped asking questions, and walked side by side with Xu Mu towards Xiaoshanbao.

The invited platform is on the top of the hill, and there are steps on both sides of the hill. The two walked on the left side. After going up, except for Lu Kuai, Jia Zhiyi and Hong Xi have also arrived.

Now with the two of them added, only Xu Lingyu was left among the doormen.

As for Li Youlan, it may take a while.

"This way, my lords, please!"

The maid on the invitation platform led the two of them to the table.

The banquet seats are centered on the invitation platform, arranged in two rows, with four seats on one side, three seats at a time, and the first seat in the middle.

The one at the top is the chief seat, needless to say it must be Li Youlan.

Xu Mu was assigned the first position on the left of the main seat. Two maids stood obediently behind him. On his left was Qiao Qianqian. Qiao Qianqian's seat was still vacant in the past, so it should be reserved for Xu Lingyu.

Because apart from Xu Lingyu, there was only Wang Yongan who had never met before.

Opposite him was also an empty table, as expected, it should be reserved for Wang Yongan, next to it was Lu Kuai, followed by Jia Zhiyi, and the last one was Hong Xi.

"Your Highness is really kind to you!"

Qiao Qianqian said with a light smile.

"How do you say that, Fellow Daoist?" Xu Mu asked doubtfully.

"Is Fellow Daoist really confused or fake confused?" Qiao Qianqian asked in surprise.

"I really don't understand!"

Seeing that Xu Mu didn't seem to be pretending, Qiao Qianqian explained: "The Dayuan Dynasty respected the left side. In the past, His Royal Highness's left hand side was empty. Now that fellow Taoists are sitting here, it shows that His Highness has a high opinion of fellow Taoists!"

"I see!"

How fancy is this, isn't it just to set me on fire and grill me!

He is not a fool, he still understands Li Youlan's thoughts, whether it is arranging the dormitory or the seat, he deliberately provokes a fight.

I just don't know who will be the first bird.

Xu Mu looked at the empty seat opposite, and then at Lu Kuai, who was holding a wine glass and toasting him with a smile.

As for Hong Xi and Jia Zhiyi, one was buried in cooking, while the other kept teasing a little black bird on his shoulder.

Qiao Qianqian, who was looking at her, was studying the spiritual fruit on the table.

"This fruit was picked a little too early, and the core may be hard to grow!"

Qiao Qianqian said to herself while holding a jujube that was as red as blood.

She turned her head to look at Xu Mu's table, and found that there was a blue fruit with white whiskers on it than her own.

"Dragon Beard Fruit!! Your Highness is really eccentric!" Qiao Qianqian said a little sourly.

"I'm not partial!"

Three escaping lights flew from not far away and landed in the center of the inviting platform, and a voice came from inside.

The light spread out, revealing the figures of Li Youlan, Jin Lao, and Xu Lingyu.

"I went out to do something urgent just now, and I kept you waiting for a long time!" Li Youlan cupped her hands around her.

"Your Highness is welcome!"

Several people all got up and returned the salute.

Li Youlan didn't sit down directly, looked at Qiao Qianqian and said, "Only the first piece of dragon beard fruit is useful, and you have already eaten it, so I only prepared one for Xu Mu!"

"Hey! Your Highness, don't blame me! I'll just talk casually!" Qiao Qianqian said awkwardly.

Li Youlan didn't bother with her about trivial matters, she stepped to the upper seat and sat down, while Jin Lao stood behind her like a wooden man.

Xu Lingyu walked up to Qiao Qianqian and sat down, his eyes were still covered with gauze, it seemed that there was indeed something wrong with his eyes.

After everyone sat down, Li Youlan glanced at the vacant seat on the right, frowned slightly, and said with a trace of displeasure: "Didn't he be informed? Why hasn't he come yet?"

"Return to Your Highness, Daoyou Wang said that he has something important to deal with, and it may take a while!" Lu Kuai got up and said.

"If that's the case, then don't wait for him!" Li Youlan raised her hand and signaled to the serving maid next to her: "Serve the wine and food!"

Elaborate delicacies made of rare and exotic animals were brought up one after another, and spirit wine worth several pieces of high-grade spirit stones was placed on the seats of everyone to drink at will.

"Let me offer a toast to fellow daoist Xu first, thank you fellow daoist for coming to the imperial capital to help me!"

Li Youlan raised her glass to Xu Mu.

"His Royal Highness, you are too polite! It is my honor to be able to help Your Highness!"

Xu Mu got up and drank the wine in the bottle in one gulp.

"I also offer a toast to Fellow Daoist. In the future, we will work together under His Highness, and I hope that Fellow Daoist will give you some advice!" Lu Kuai got up and said.

"Fellow Daoist, please be polite, if necessary, just ask!"

Then Qiao Qianqian and the others toasted Xu Mu a glass of wine one by one, but Xu Lingyu remained silent, but toasted Xu Mu one from afar.

"Fellow Daoist Lu, during the time I was away, did any major events happen in the capital?" After drinking, Li Youlan looked at Lu Kuai and asked.

"Return to Your Highness, the villain is preparing to report, and His Highness has been away for a while..."

Lu Kuai talked about a few things that happened in the imperial capital, neither big nor small, and most of them were related to other princes and princesses.

In this way, while eating and drinking, Li Youlan asked them about things one by one, among them Lu Kuai, Jia Zhiyi and Qiao Qianqian had the most things, Hong Xi only asked a few simple questions, and Xu Lingyu didn't ask a single question.

After questioning, Li Youlan recruited a dancer to dance for her in the center of the platform.

At this time, the bright moon hangs high, and the cold moonlight falls down, making the entire inviting platform pure and flawless, and the dancing girls look like fairy palaces under the moonlight, beautiful and beautiful.

For a moment, people feel as if they are in Guanghan Immortal Tower.

At this moment, a blue ray of light flew from a distance and landed on the inviting platform.

The light dissipated, revealing a young man with disheveled hair.

The young man has a pear-shaped head, small top and big bottom, slightly swollen eyeballs, white beardless face, and wearing a white robe embroidered with various blue flower patterns.

"I've delayed the matter, so I'm one step late! Please punish me, Your Highness!"

The young man bowed his hands to Li Youlan to plead guilty with a hint of casualness.

"Since it's a matter of delay, forget it! Sit down at your seat!" Li Youlan said lightly.

"Thank you, Your Highness! I accidentally got a Bingyu Begonia flower, and I like it, Your Highness can like it!"

After finishing speaking, the young man took out a jade box made of white jade from the storage bag, and walked towards Li Youlan holding it in his hands.

The dancing girl on the platform automatically made way for the young man to walk in front of Li Youlan and offered the jade box.

When the young man came, Xu Mu heard a strong strange fragrance, which seemed to emanate from the young man, and he didn't know what it was made of.

"You have a heart!"

Li Youlan didn't reach out to pick it up, but raised her hand for the maid beside her to put it away.

"As long as His Highness is happy, I will die!"

After finishing speaking, the young man turned his head and glanced at Xu Mu with a hint of disdain in his eyes. Then he walked to Li Youlan's right and sat down. The banquet was still going on. Li Youlan didn't let the dancers stop and introduced the young man to Xu Mu. mean.

In fact, Xu Mu can guess the identity of the other party without introducing him, and there is no one else except Wang Yongan.

However, the arrogance of the other party surprised him a bit.

"This guy doesn't do his job all day long, and he will fix all these bells and whistles!"

Qiao Qianqian's voice of complaining came from beside her ear, but Xu Mu didn't answer.
