Can I get to the other side?

After experiencing the embarrassment of being ignored, Liu Xie simply said nothing and drank and ate quietly at his place.

Although the taste of food in this era is really unsatisfactory compared to later generations, he has been able to adapt to it after traveling for so long, and now the food is delicious.

Moreover, the dancing skills of the dancers in the hall are quite appetizing.

Their clothing is also quite revealing, a feast for the eyes.

In ancient times, conservatism was only relative to women from good families, such as geishas, ​​dancers, prostitutes, and singers. The word conservatism has nothing to do with conservatism.

After all, in feudal society, women were just objects used for fun, so how could they talk about dignity?

Halfway through the banquet, when everyone had almost eaten, Yuan Shao suddenly stood up and asked Liu Xie: "Your Majesty, I heard that you accidentally caught a cold the day before yesterday? Are you feeling well?"

"Um?"

Liu Xie was still working on the meal and was stunned when he heard this.

What the hell? Wind chill?

When did he get it?

But before he could answer, Yuan Shao clapped his hands and said, "Come here, Your Majesty is not feeling well. Please send Your Majesty back to the palace to rest!"

As soon as he finished speaking, two guards walked into the hall.

"Your Majesty, please."

Two guards stood beside Liu Xie, one on the left and one on the right.

When Liu Xie saw Yuan Shao and the ministers in the hall looking at him, he suddenly realized that the conversation to come was not suitable for him to continue to be present.

"Okay... then I will go back to the palace first."

Liu Xie put down the chopsticks in his hands, said politely, got up and left the hall with the two guards.

Yuan Shao asked him to leave, could he refuse?

I can only passively "take care of my physical condition".

Watching Liu Xie leave the hall, Guan Yu, who was sitting behind Liu Bei, frowned and whispered: "How dare Yuan Shao be so rude?"

How could he not see that Liu Xie was forced to leave.

It's simply that Yuan Shao doesn't want him to stay!

Even he couldn't bear to stand the emperor shouting and shouting like this.

Liu Bei withdrew his gaze, thought for a moment, put down the wine glass in his hand, stood up and said to Yuan Shao: "Brother Yuan, the three of us brothers are also a little sleepy, and I'm afraid we can't continue to accompany you."

Yuan Shao heard this and said with some displeasure: "Now that the banquet is just halfway through, Xuande is going back. Could it be that I feel that my brother has neglected you?"

Liu Bei said with an apologetic look: "Brother Yuan, I don't have a good capacity for wine. I drank a little too much today and it's really too much for me."

"Oh well."

Although Yuan Shao was sorry to hear this, it was hard to persuade him to stay.

So Liu Bei left the hall with Guan Yu and Zhang Fei.

…

"Brother, why are you leaving now? I haven't even drunk enough."

After leaving the main hall, Zhang Fei bared his teeth.

His drinking capacity is excellent. The wine at today's banquet is not strong. To him, it is like drinking water. He is not drunk at all now.

Liu Bei said helplessly: "Third brother, didn't you see that Yuan Shao had driven His Majesty away? Why should we stay shamelessly?"

"Besides, he is so disrespectful to His Majesty. How will I get along if I stay here?"

Yuan Shao obviously wanted to discuss matters with his ministers.

And there was no intention of letting them stay.

Otherwise, I would definitely try my best to retain them instead of letting them leave with a few token polite words.

"Tsk, that's really unpleasant."

Zhang Fei despised Yuan Shao's behavior and didn't want him to stay straight and talk in a roundabout way.

Then he asked: "Brother, it's been almost a month since we came to Yecheng. Will Yuan Shao lend us his troops?"

"If you don't want to borrow it, we might as well go to Gongsun Zan. Isn't he your classmate? Moreover, he has a very good relationship with his eldest brother, so he will definitely be willing to lend us soldiers and horses."

Gongsun Zan and Liu Bei were classmates, and they studied under Lu Zhi together.

It is naturally easier to borrow troops from Gongsun Zan.

But the only problem is that Gongsun Zan is in western Liaoning, occupying the Youzhou area, which belongs to the north. It is really troublesome to borrow troops in the past and come back.

Because of this, they came to Yuan Shao, after all, it was close.

"Let's wait a little longer. If Yuan Shao still doesn't lend us troops in the next year, we will go to Youzhou to look for Gongsun Zan."

Liu Bei also had his own considerations.

Now Yuan Shao's main reason for evading is that it is not appropriate to send troops in winter, and he will wait until after the new year. If this is the case, then he will wait until after the new year.

"Brother, where are we going now? Should we go back to our residence? Or find a place to have a drink."

Guan Yu asked, actually it is still very early now.

Liu Bei smiled slightly and said, "Of course not, we have to go find His Majesty now."

"What?"

Zhang Fei and Guan Yu were both shocked.

Going to see the emperor?

Although they didn't know what their eldest brother was going to do, they still chose to support him and followed Liu Bei's footsteps to the palace.

…

After Liu Xie was sent back to the palace by the guards, he washed briefly and then lay down on the bed, but he couldn't fall asleep tossing and turning.

All he could think about was what happened at the banquet tonight.

He was nothing in front of Yuan Shao and that group of people, just like an ant. This feeling of powerlessness made him panic.

"You have no control over your fate."

Liu Xie opened his eyes and looked at the rafters in the house, muttering to himself.

He wants to be in control of his own destiny.

Rather than being played around and manipulated like a clown.

But is this easier said than done?

Liu Xie sighed, tucked in the quilt, and turned over to get ready for bed.

But at this time, he suddenly heard a voice coming from outside the palace.

"Your Majesty, I, Liu Bei, want to see you."

Liu Xie's eyes, which had been closed, suddenly opened. He lifted the quilt, sat up, and looked outside the door.

Three figures stood outside.

Tsk tsk, they have been to New Year's Eve, and there is not even a guard or maid to pass the message.

This emperor is really not dignified at all.

"But what are they doing here?"

Liu Xie was confused, not knowing why this trio suddenly came to the door, but he still put on his clothes and walked out.

When Liu Bei saw Liu Xie wearing clothes, he immediately apologized: "I disturbed your majesty's sleep, please forgive me."

"No problem, no problem."

Liu Xie said with a smile, indicating that he didn't care, and then asked curiously: "Isn't the banquet still going on? Why did the emperor's uncle leave so early?"

Could it be that they were also driven away by Yuan Shao?

It's unlikely.

If Yuan Shao really dared to do this, Zhang Fei would definitely be the first to rush up and punch him in the face.

Liu Bei shook his head and said, "That's not the case. I just saw Your Majesty being asked to leave, and I was a little worried, so I came here to ask for an audience."

To see him?

Liu Xie was stunned, and was a little touched in his heart. He said, "Uncle, don't worry. I just caught a little cold. It's nothing. I will be fine after a few days of rest."

But as soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Fei, who was impatient, spoke up: "Your Majesty, why did you lie to us? It's obvious that Yuan Shao was committing treason and deliberately took you away!"

"My eldest brother couldn't bear it, so he took me and my second brother away with him!"

Liu Xie was obviously not sick, but he lied to them that he was sick, and he didn't dare to tell the truth. Zhang Fei didn't understand this very much.

Afraid of Yuan Shao!
