1233: Chapter 1233: Congratulations (5) 1233: Chapter 1233: Congratulations (5) âThis is indeed unusual,â another person followed behind.
âYourâŠ,â Gu Qingheng was stunned by the person who entered, about to kneel, but the other person grabbed his wrist.
âBrother Qingheng, long time no see,â Qi Jingchen said with a smile.
Gu Qingheng also calmed down, âQingheng thanks Second Master for the honor.â Before becoming the Crown Prince, Qi Jingchen was the Second Prince, so it was correct to address him as Second Master.
âThatâs enough, this is your home, no need for such formalities,â Qi Jingchen laughed, waving his hand to have the gifts brought in, âI wish you a century of happiness.â
Du Chengfeng, no, now renamed Du Chengxiu, hurriedly signaled his people to take the gifts; he had seen the world and could tell these two men were either rich or noble, not daring to neglect, he quickly had another table added to serve the attendants who came with them.
Among the locals, the teamsters from the transport team had seen Qi Jingyi in Beijing; even though they didnât know his exact identity, they knew he was a noble young master.
Now seeing another noble young master, even more imposing than Qi Jingyi, they all grew a bit reserved.
The banquet outside carried on unaffected, but everyone in the yard couldnât help standing up.
âSecond Master, Eighth Master, try some countryside dishes,â Gu Qingheng invited.
Qi Jingchen nodded slightly to everyone, and even went over to pay respects to Dao Xuzi.
Dao Xuzi stepped forward and grabbed Qi Jingchenâs wrist, frowning, âAre all those useless Divine Doctors around you good for nothing?â The so-called Imperial Physicians at the Imperial Hospital were really no good, just physicians collecting their salaried incompetence.
âElderâŠâ
Suddenly, with a swift motion, Dao Xuzi slapped Qi Jingchenâs chest then his abdomen before he could react.
Taking advantage of his open mouth, a Medicine Pill was flicked into it.
The Medicine Pill dissolved immediately.
âYou canât drink todayâs wine, and you canât touch it for a month either, eat the dishes,â Dao Xuzi said, turning around to go back to his seat to eat.
Due to Dao Xuziâs quick actions, many people hadnât even noticed what happened.
Those who had seen clearly also would not inquire at this moment.
Only Qi Jingyi opened his mouth wanting to say something, but was stopped by Qi Jingchen, then he looked at Gu Qingheng, âIt seems I canât drink the wedding wine today, but I do have to eat a couple bowls of happy noodlesâŠâ
âThatâs enough,â Gu Qingheng nodded.
âToo bad today, they canât eat dishes made by Sister Xinxin; you donât know, Old Eight mentions it nearly every dayâŠâ
âThat girl is being lazy now,â Dao Xuzi finally looked up at Qi Jingchen, âEven an old man like me canât eat it every day, what are you doing crashing the party?â
Qi Jingchen couldnât help but touch his nose; this old manâs temperâŠ
But it was indeed refreshing and not tiresome.
The banquet proceeded lively and joyous, with good food and a great atmosphere, a perfect delight for hosts and guests.
Just when everyone was talking and laughing, someone suddenly barged in from outside, rushing towards Qi Jingyi: âEighth Young Master Qi, youâve finally come⊠Where is my husband?â
Everyone was shocked, but Weng Ji reacted exceptionally quickly, blocking the intruder: âShow some respect!â
âHow am I being disrespectful?â Yang Baihe frowned at Weng Ji, âYouâre just a servant, what right do you have to stop me?
Get out of the way!â Her expression was so fierce that her face powder started flaking off.
