Chapter 20 Qinghuafang Night Banquet

Yang Yanzhang naturally respects Di Renjie very much. After all, this is a rare honest official, and Di Renjie and he have never met, but he can speak for him several times in court.

So, seeing the confused Di Renjie, Yang Yanzhang decided to tell him more carefully. Of course, considering Di Renjie's insufficient knowledge reserve, he spoke simply.

"Things in the world can be divided into acid, alkali, and neutral!"

"Acid can be understood as something sour like vinegar, and neutral is water! Apart from these, the rest is naturally alkali."

"And morning glories have a characteristic, that is, they will change color when they encounter acids and alkalis! For example, the white morning glories I picked today will turn blue when they encounter alkaline carrot juice! If you splash it again Vinegar will first be neutralized to white, and finally turn red!"

Di Renjie was still confused, but he seemed to understand a little bit.

"I see! Although I still don't quite understand, I seem to be able to explain it to the Queen Mother..."

"I have learned a lot from what you said today! Yang Yushi, I have something to do and I have to go to the palace. I will prepare some wine to thank you for answering my questions!"

At this time, Yang Yanzhang had not eaten all day and his stomach was growling.

When I was thinking about how to have a big meal, some palace ladies who I had met several times came in outside.

"Your Majesty, Censor Zhongcheng! The Queen Mother is hosting a banquet in Qinghuafang. Please come with us to the banquet."

Yang Yanzhang was suddenly confused: "Qinghuafang? Where is Qinghuafang?"

"My lord, we will find out if you come with us."

For Yang Yanzhang, who was penniless, having a meal was not a bad idea.

After entering the palace twice, Wu Zetian failed to succeed. Now that she is outside, there is no need to worry about unspoken rules.

After leaving the inn, they walked only a hundred steps and stopped at the door of a large house.

Several eunuchs are hanging plaques on it.

"Yang Mansion?"

After a quick glance, Yang Yanzhang didn't care.

The Yang family received the title of marquis from Liu Bang in the Western Han Dynasty, rose in the Han Dynasty, and reached its peak in the Sui Dynasty.

Although the Tang Dynasty and Sui Dynasty, the Yang family had served as officials in the Tang Dynasty for generations, and many prime ministers were born.

Nowadays, there are not a few descendants of the Yang family who hold high positions in the court.

"The Queen Mother held a banquet, why not in the palace but at the minister's house?"

Yang Yanzhang asked the maid in charge in a low voice.

The palace maid smiled and said nothing.

After entering, Wu Zetian was already sitting in the courtyard. The two palace maids in the back were holding two five-light fans, and the palace maids on both sides were holding lanterns, illuminating the courtyard.

"Give a seat!"

Wu Zetian sat at a table by herself, and Yang Yanzhang sat down at the small table opposite, but they were only five steps away.

The entire courtyard was silent, with only himself and a group of women sitting. This made Yang Yanzhang feel a little uncomfortable, especially when he thought of being in someone else's house, Yang Yanzhang felt even more uncomfortable.

"Queen Mother, this is not good. You invite your subordinates to the banquet, but the owner of the house and his family dare not speak out! If this matter spreads, are you not afraid of losing your reputation?"

Wu Zetian chuckled: "I am here, why are you panicking?"

Shangguan Wan'er next to her chuckled and said, "The Queen Mother was afraid that you would be cautious when entering the palace, so she specially held the banquet here. Yang Yushi, please don't misunderstand the Queen Mother and let her down."

so...

It seems that what Shangguan Wan'er said is reasonable.

In the palace, Yang Yanzhang would never dare to drink, but this is someone else's house. Even if he gets drunk, Wu Zetian can't do anything to him. "Then I would like to thank the Queen Mother for her kindness! To be honest, I have spent all my money on staying in a hotel, and I am worried that I have no place to eat at night! Thank you Queen Mother!"

Yang Yanzhang was really hungry. He looked at the chicken legs and mutton legs on the table and started to eat them, completely ignoring the image.

The palace maids around me all looked pale with beauty, and the palace maid holding the five-bright fan even accidentally dropped the fan.

"Yang Yushi, the Queen Mother hasn't eaten yet, why did you eat it?" Shangguan Wan'er couldn't help but remind her.

But Yang Yanzhang said vaguely: "The Queen Mother gave me a banquet, and if the official eats it slowly, doesn't it mean he dislikes the taste of the Queen Mother's dishes? Is this a compliment to the Queen Mother!"

"Glib tongue!" Wu Zetian couldn't help scolding, but then shook her head and started eating slowly.

"Eat slowly, I won't compete with you! Come, have a glass of wine, be careful I choke you to death!"

When Wu Zetian saw that Yang Yanzhang was indeed immersed in hard work and did not even look at her, she still felt a little unhappy and couldn't help but create opportunities for Yang Yanzhang to raise his head.

After the two had a drink in the air, Yang Yanzhang felt a heat in his stomach, and suddenly felt that Wu Zetian was much more beautiful.

"Yang Yanzhang, what are you looking at?"

"Ah, no!"

Yang Yanzhang hurriedly drank three more cups, originally intending to calm down his shock, but with each cup he drank, he could feel a burning sensation in his stomach.

"It's over, this wine is poisonous! And it's that kind of poison! Damn..."

Yang Yanzhang was startled and looked at Wu Zetian in disbelief, but he felt that Wu Zetian was more beautiful!
"Yang Yushi is drunk, help him go in and rest."

Wu Zetian stood up with a smile, took off her Xiapei, and exposed her collarbone.

"No, no need! I'm not drunk!"

Yang Yanzhang immediately stood up, pushed several palace maids away, and at the same time pumped his fists and raised his legs a few times to stand firm.

In fact, since he received the god-level reward two days before the fight, Yang Yanzhang's body has been immune to all poisons. This kind of medicine is even more trivial. It only makes his lower abdomen hot for a moment, and he will be relieved in a moment!

At this moment, Wu Zetian was stunned, her eyes filled with disbelief: "Are you really not drunk?"

As he said that, he came up and pushed Yang Yanzhang, but he almost knocked himself down.

"I'm really not drunk, I can still drink a few more bottles!"

Yang Yanzhang said confidently.

"Drink more? Okay, then drink more quickly!"

Wu Zetian happily sat down again and ordered the palace maid to bring in two more jars of wine. However, a pair of eyes kept scanning Yang Yanzhang's body with blazing eyes.

"I didn't expect that even though you are a royal censor, you are actually very strong! After drinking this wine, you actually look like a normal person!"

"Drink more, drink more! I want to see how strong you are!"

Wu Zetian was like this, but Yang Yanzhang pretended not to understand. Anyway, he was not afraid of poison. If he drank too much, he would just excrete it a few more times.

Shangguan Wan'er on the side was a little worried at first when she saw that Yang Yanzhang was obviously poisoned, but now looking at his posture, her eyes were both burning and worried.

"This fool! Don't you know that the more he drinks, the more interested the Queen Mother will be in his body? He is still drinking! He is really seeking death!"

But the fact is that Yang Yanzhang drank three jars of wine in a row and went to the toilet ten times, but his face was only slightly rosy, nothing more.

"Thank you, Queen Mother, for your hospitality. I have eaten and drank enough. If there is nothing else, I will go back to the inn first."

Yang Yanzhang looked at the petrified Wu Zetian and stood up proudly.
