Chapter 497
Slowly approaching the banquet venue arranged near Biquan on the side, it was already full at this moment, and most of the court officials were already present according to their respective ranks, they didn't have the courage to let His Majesty the Holy Monarch wait like Xiao Yichen.
glanced at it from a distance, and found that it was the same as his own speculation, even the queen mother had already arrived today, Xiao Yichen didn't dare to rub it lazily, so he glanced at Xiao Feixing at the moment and quickened his pace.
"The sons and daughters are dead, but they forget the time, and they are tired of waiting here for their father and grandmother, and ask their father to surrender. Xiao Yichen rushed into the entrance very obediently and immediately bowed down to plead guilty.
"What is not a crime, isn't it just to accompany Xiaosi to change clothes. Queen Mother, this kid is used to being lazy, don't you say?" Xiao Lingtian was in a good mood, and just put down the wine glass and let the two boys get up first.
"Hehe, the emperor is right, mourning family, as long as the good grandson is safe and sound, it's late to be late, what are you afraid of. Come, good grandson, come and sit beside the mourning family. When the Queen Mother saw Xiao Yichen, her eyes lit up.
Some time ago, because of the outbreak of Xiao Yichen's star poison, the Empress Dowager Ci'an did live a period of worrying all day, if it weren't for the tightness around her, she didn't dare to tell the truth, I was afraid that the old man would have already killed in Lingxiao Palace, and accompanied herself, the child on the tip of her heart, every day. Yesterday, as soon as the news that Xiao Yichen was safe and sound was confirmed, the palace people around him immediately told the old man the good news, and it is precisely because of this that the Queen Mother will be unusually present at this kind of banquet with courtiers in power.
In fact, there are many female dependents attending today, in addition to the queen mother, such as the two imperial concubines, whether they are full of joy or resentment, in short, they are also sitting safely. In addition, such as Princess Allure, or Concubine Qi, Xiao Tuanzi's biological mother, etc., were all present at this moment, a little farther away from Xiao Lingtian.
Without saying a word, he ran to his imperial grandmother's side first, and coaxed the old man to feel good, and Xiao Yichen sat down in his own seat a little farther away.
Xiao Lingtian saw that everyone had already arrived, a few words of the scene ended, and the banquet also started in a joyful mood. As today's protagonists, Xiao Feixing and Xiao Yichen are naturally often affected
People congratulated, and even the imperial concubine was complimented by the ladies for a long time, so that this woman who doesn't like to be in the limelight very much is also full of smiles at the moment.
More than half an hour later, just when everyone was familiar with the wine, and Xiao Yichen secretly stuffed the little beauty with delicious food, Yuwen Xiucheng suddenly got up, first arched his body slightly to Xiao Lingtian, and when everyone's eyes turned to him, he opened his mouth and said: "Your Majesty, today is a day of great joy, the old minister thinks, why don't you like it and be happy?"
"Oh, how can you be happy and happy? Xiao Lingtian asked as if he was interested.
Touching his tiger whiskers, Yuwen Xiucheng looked at the few concubines beside Xiao Lingtian with a smile, and opened his mouth to say: "Since the First Holy Empress stepped on the stars, it has been almost two hundred years now, and I see that all the princes and princesses have also reached adulthood, but Your Majesty's harem throne is still hanging. For a long time, it has been inconvenient for us and other foreign ministers to meddle in His Majesty's family affairs, but the country has no mother, isn't it a flaw in the jade? The old minister knows that His Majesty and the former Holy Empress have a deep affection, but after all, after a country, there is the responsibility of a mother and the world, and now the people will not be at ease for a long time. ”
Yuwen Xiucheng's words made Xiao Yichen's sword eyebrows frown slightly, and his gaze at him gradually became cold. Immediately, he turned his head and said a few words in Yu Xiaoxiang's ear.
After hearing this, the little girl nodded heavily, and immediately took advantage of everyone's attention to quietly crawl to Xiao Feixing's side in the other seat, pulled his sleeve, and let Xiao Feixing, who was drinking and eating meat, look at her suspiciously.
"Fourth Highness, my Royal Highness said that the old guy is very likely to suggest that your mother concubine become the successor, you just watch, don't speak impulsively, he will protect your mother concubine. Yu Xiaoxiang whispered.
"What?" Xiao Feixing was stunned for a moment, turned his head to look at Xiao Yichen, and saw that his brother was nodding slightly, so he nodded knowingly in agreement.
The old guy over there, Yuwen Xiucheng, didn't seem to feel anything at the moment, and he didn't care about the occasional slight discussion from others, and said to Xiao Lingtian after giving his hand again: "Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that if you choose someone else as your successor at will, I am afraid that it will not be Your Majesty's will, and it will be difficult to convince all the ladies in the palace. Today, His Royal Highness, the son of the Kaiser and the Imperial Concubine, is already the fourth highness
With his military exploits, he was awarded the high position of the prince, and his mother and concubine taught her son well, so she should naturally be rewarded. It is better to let the Emperor and Concubine succeed in the throne, and let the world celebrate. ”
When Yuwen Xiucheng's words fell, a group of people didn't understand whether this old guy had drunk too much, and said that "Huihuang Guifei" was "Emperor De Guifei". Otherwise, how could it be possible to let go of his own daughter-in-law and not lift it, and he had to lift the daughter of the Duanmu family?
Xiao Yichen seemed to have seen through it, and his expression did not move at the moment, still holding the wine glass and tasting the wine slowly, as if he hadn't heard anything.
When the queen mother saw that Yuwen Xiucheng seemed to suggest choosing a successor, her eyebrows were already slightly wrinkled, but now she heard that the candidate mentioned was not Yuwenqi, but Duanmuxiu, whom she preferred, and the old man didn't understand for a while what kind of medicine Yuwenxiucheng was selling in the gourd, but after an instant, it was like making some kind of decision.
After listening to Yuwen Xiucheng's words, Xiao Lingtian first frowned and looked at him for a long time, and then glanced at the two imperial concubines behind him with his eyes, and found that Duanmu Xiu was a little stunned at the moment, while Yuwen Qi looked indifferent, as if he hadn't heard anything.
"Zuo Xiang, are you talking about the German Emperor's concubine Xiu'er?" Xiao Lingtian asked suspiciously, as if he was confirming, "Isn't it Emperor Hui's concubine Qi'er?"
"Your Majesty, although Emperor Hui's concubine is the daughter of an old minister, after the national election, she must have both ability and political integrity, and her mother's resources in the world. Compared with the two imperial concubines, the German imperial concubine is superior, so she is naturally the best candidate. How could the old minister be wrong. Yuwen Xiucheng said with a smile, as if his face was full of sincerity.
"Mourning family, this matter is feasible!" The Queen Mother's words interrupted what Xiao Lingtian wanted to say.
At this moment, I saw the Empress Dowager Ci'an turn to her son, and said with a smile: "Emperor, what Lord Yuwen said is reasonable, the country is empty and his mother, it has been too long, and the emperor should indeed choose a successor to criticize the world." Xiu'er, this girl, the mourning family knows, Xiuwai is wise, benevolent and magnanimous, and now she has been in charge of Fengyin for many years, and she is also familiar with the affairs of the palace. If she can be appointed as a queen, she must be able to serve the public. Emperor, what do you see?"
