The weather in the capital is getting colder and colder day by day, and the whistling dark clouds are shrouding the lights of thousands of homes in the capital. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

She took off her light and indifferent fake makeup, and there was a trace of sadness in her eyes.

The light curtain danced lightly and flew, covering the night of fighting of black and white on the chessboard not far away.

A lonely cloud glimpses, embedded in the eyebrows.

Finally, after a little struggle, the sorrow in her eyes faded away, and finally became cold and lonely.

Sure enough, not long after, Aunt Lanzhi stepped back on the snow path, patted the snowflakes on her shoulders that had come early, removed the slightly wet shoes and socks, and said in a low voice after coming in: "Queen Mother, Lord Jiang said that it is okay, and when the emperor and celebrity prepare an extra banquet in the palace and send it to the house." ”

Concubine Xin nodded and did not speak.

Early in the morning of the second day, the other four county kings all came to King Pei's mansion.

This is the first time Lu Chuan has seen the five county kings gather in Chang'an.

Su Kuang, the king of Liang, is the second eldest and is forty years old this year, he stood up and took his eldest son Su Zhe, who is twenty-three years old this year, to kowtow in front of Concubine Xin: "My son asks my mother to say goodbye, and I hope my mother is safe." ”

Su Zhe on the side also said: "Grandson to the concubine Niangniang, I wish the concubine Niangniang a long life and good health." "This Su Zhesheng is handsome, fair-skinned, and polite, but it makes people feel good at first sight.

Next is the acting king Su Sheng, who is also forty years old, and his eldest son Su Ying is twenty years old this year. Su Cheng, the king of Huainan, had no heirs, so he came with his new favorite 'Lu Shu'. The last one was Su Ao, who was only twenty years old, standing there like a jade tree.

Concubine Xin asked someone to give a seat, and said to a few people with a smile: "You are here today." ”

King Liang took the lead and said: "My son doesn't hide it from his mother, so he said it directly, I'm afraid that tomorrow's dinner will only be unbearable for a few of us, and I don't know what the old Sipei King plans to do. ”

After all, except for Emperor Su Xin, the only one left who can speak is Concubine Xin, if Concubine Xin is willing to come forward to protect it, then everyone's danger will be a little less.

They are all royal heirs, and Concubine Xin also has her own sons and grandchildren, so she can't put them in danger.

Su Sheng also said to Su Ying: "To tell you the truth, it's not that the second brother is timid, but that it's been too difficult all these years. I'm just such a son, I really don't ask for much, I just want to be with my son and the family.

Mother, you should also know about this. At that time, the father and emperor were kings in the Jiangnan generation, and there was no unification of the Dajing Dynasty, and the soldiers at that time were in chaos, and there were rumors every day that the enemy army attacked the city tower.

My eldest brother and I were only ten years old that year, and we saw the corpses of dead people floating everywhere on the river. Mother... We are tired, we just have such a life, and we don't ask for gold and silver at all, we just want to live well. If the mother concubine shows love, please say a few kind words in front of the emperor tomorrow to save our lives. ”

Su Ying listened to the second and third brothers (the eldest brother is the son of the Empress Dowager Zhang and is dead. ), the complexion changed.

King Liang also nodded, and together with Su Sheng, he kowtowed to Concubine Xin shoulder to shoulder. They are over forty years old, they should be in the prime of life, but now they are already with white hair on their temples, and the appearance of pulling their son to kowtow in front of Concubine Xin at this moment is actually sad.

Su Ying looked at Concubine Xin uneasily, he hoped that Concubine Xin patted the chair and said, "We won't go to this dinner!" But Concubine Xin's expression was very calm.

She looked at everyone calmly, and said worriedly: "It's okay for you to have a preparation in advance, but the mourning family has the heart to help you, and there is nothing to do, you also know that the mourning family can't even enter the palace gate, and the reason for this must be that the mourning family doesn't say that you also know." What's more, the mourning family has also returned to Master Jiang today, saying that the mourning family will not go to this dinner, and I am afraid that you will not have fun if you are restrained, so why should the mourning family find any unpleasantness. ”

King Liang and King Dai saw that what Concubine Xin said was conclusive, so they had no choice, and King Liang asked dejectedly: "Then tomorrow, will the fourth child also go?"

Concubine Xin nodded: "Go." ”

Su Ying on the side instantly felt that his vest was sweating, he swallowed his saliva, looked at Concubine Xin's expression and said the word 'go' lightly, his mind exploded, and he was cold from head to toe.

Only then did he realize that the problem might not be so simple.

Concubine Xin gave him a comforting look and said, "Don't worry, this time not only will you attend the dinner, but also the ministers of the court, and the historian will also be present, he will not mess around." ”

On the contrary, the king of Huainan and the king of Qi on the side were very calm and did not speak from beginning to end.

Su Kang on the side looked at the two kowtowing princes, and sneered in his heart, he wanted to pick a son and quit? Lie to the fool! Seeing that the 'Lu Shu' on the other side was standing next to the king of Huainan, Su Kang glanced at her, whispered a few words in front of his father, and then turned around and walked out.

Passing through the back garden, came to a dense bamboo forest, and sure enough, after waiting for a while, 'Lu Shu' came to Shi Shiran.

Su Kang turned to look at the woman in front of him who had lost a lot of weight and her temperament was gradually becoming cold, his throat was blocked, and he said in a low voice: "Shu'er!"

Lu Shu said calmly: "There is no Shu'er that the prince is looking for here, and the son should also know that I am Ji Ming'er." ”

Su Kang said in a low voice: "In this way, you are still angry with me. Shu'er, I can't help it, you also saw it today, Chang'an City is full of dangers, and even my grandmother can't do it. ”

"The prince is finished? Ming'er retired. Lu Shu left expressionlessly, leaving only Su Xin's tightly clenched hands, this chess piece, in the end, is still useless.

When Lu Shu's figure was about to disappear, Su Kang said: "Lu Chuan's yard is at the back of this bamboo forest. ”

Lu Shu's footsteps paused, now is not the time...... In the end, he turned around and walked away without hesitation.

Lu Chuan and Su Jun were talking in circles in the courtyard, and Xing Yu came back with reliable news: many ministers in the palace haven't gone home for a long time!

It turned out that it was not just a maid in someone's house who went out to buy fruit that day, but it was undoubtedly mentioned in it, to the effect that the emperor attached great importance to this banquet, and several old ministers were so busy that they had been away from home for a day and a night.

They were also happy, because there had never been a few ministers who could stay in the palace for the night, and their lord was left behind, which was to be reused.

Xing Yu heard that something was wrong, and hurriedly came back to tell Su Jun.

Su Jun comforted Lu Chuan in a low voice: "You don't have to be afraid, we don't have to go, but it's hard for my father, I don't know what will happen tomorrow, you'd better stay in the house for the time being, don't go anywhere." Didn't the eldest brother say that you hit your head, you must have a good rest. ”

As the two spoke, they walked out of the moon-shaped arch, and at this time, a beautiful figure suddenly appeared on the path on the other side of the bamboo forest.
