Chapter 52: Drunken Peony Tang (2)
Let's say that Emperor Shengzhao and King Ming and all the ministers came to Muchun Pavilion, and as soon as they sat down, they saw that the queen sent someone to carry three jars of Baihua Brew and sent it over.
Emperor Shengzhao ordered someone to open the wine jar, and the strange fragrance soaked the entire Muchun Pavilion in an instant, and before the drink was opened, everyone was drunk a little first.
Full of wine, everyone toasted a glass to Emperor Shengzhao, said some auspicious words of longevity and borderless country, peace and security, and drank and talked happily.
After several rounds of courtesy from the monarchs and ministers, Emperor Shengzhao signaled everyone to be casual, and the hundred officials gathered around each other in twos and threes, and they talked to each other.
King Ming got up and toasted Emperor Shengzhao, then got up and came to the cluster of begonias under the corridor.
Zhu Bo followed him, but stood still three steps away from him, leaving King Ming alone, playing with the wine glass in his hand alone, and staring at the brocade begonias.
At this moment, King Ming looked at the delicate begonia flowers in front of him, and his heart was full of the scene in the imperial garden.
When he thought of Qianhua peeking at him so shyly, King Ming was very happy in his heart. She blushes and looks really good. Unconsciously, a smile was already on the corner of his mouth, and Uncle Zhu was very surprised.
The bright red robe in the imperial garden had already burned his heart like fire, and a pair of eyes could no longer accommodate other colors.
Just as King Ming was immersed in his own world, he suddenly felt a cold hand and came back to his senses in shock. Immediately followed by a shrill voice: "Damn it, the prince!
Hearing the voice, everyone looked this way, and it turned out to be a little eunuch who spilled wine on King Ming's body.
King Ming frowned slightly, glanced at him, and looked for Uncle Zhu, who was originally by his side.
Zhu Bo, who had just been called away, hurriedly rushed over when he heard the voice, blocked the little eunuch, and wiped the wine stains on his clothes for King Ming.
King Ming waved his hand, took the towel in his hand, wiped it himself, and said to the little eunuch who was still kowtowing and trembling while wiping: "That's it, don't get in the way." Go ahead. ”
When the little eunuch heard this, he stopped buttoning his head and asked tremblingly, "Thank you for the grace of the prince." Why don't you take you down and change into clean clothes?"
King Ming said: "No. Get up and do your business, I don't have to look after it. "Frowning, I have to go back and change my clothes.
After saying that, he was about to bow to Emperor Shengzhao and retire, but he saw that he had already come to him from the first seat.
"Your Majesty, and let Xiao Wang leave early. Seeing this, King Ming spoke.
"Why should it be. Such neglect of the prince shows that my Chu State is not well entertained. Zhao Hai, go and send someone to bring the Wuhua brocade dress presented by the East Kingdom the day before yesterday to change it with King Ming. Emperor Sheng Zhao stopped, and at the same time looked at the little eunuch who was still kneeling on the ground and said, "Why don't you take the prince to the side of the warm pavilion to rest for a while?" ”
"Yes, yes. The little eunuch replied repeatedly, secretly glad in his heart that he had only played a few boards and had no worries about his life. So he got up and said to King Ming: "Lord, the little one will show you the way, please come here." ”
King Ming smiled at Emperor Shengzhao, "Then thank you Your Majesty, Xiao Wang is better to obey than to obey." As he spoke, he walked forward with the little eunuch: "There is labor." ”

Muchun Pavilion is located in the middle of the imperial garden to the north, and the banquet of Emperor Shengzhao is carried out here during the New Year's Festival. Therefore, several rooms were set up in the side pavilions on both sides, so that the ladies or ministers could rest after the feast.
Previously, Mama Qi took Luan Ge into the Xinuan Pavilion where Muchun Pavilion was dedicated to women and nobles to rest.
After bringing Luan Ge here, Mama Qi let her rest here first on the grounds that she wanted to help the queen entertain the ladies and ladies, and at the same time sent a little girl to help her bring her clothes. He departed without staying long.
Although the Baihua brew is warm and mellow, after all, the purity is extremely high, and Luan Ge couldn't help but feel a little dizzy after eating a few more cups, and he fell on the table and came back to his senses when he entered the door.
The little girl was also very clever, and it didn't take long to bring her clothes. Luan Ge waved her hand casually without raising her head, signaling her to close the door and retreat.
After sitting for a while, and when she was a little sober, she stepped back behind the screen and began to change her clothes. However, when she shook off the prepared clothes and was about to put them on, she found that the clothes had been torn out in multiple places on her chest and under her armpits. Apparently I can't wear it anymore.
At this time, I only heard a voice from outside the small pavilion, which vaguely seemed to be a shrill male voice: "This is it." Please go in and rest for a while, and the little one will go and get the clothes prepared by Zhao Gonggong. ”
I don't know what the man said, but I heard the sound of the door opening.
Luan Ge secretly screamed badly, and vaguely heard that the person should be a man. After the maid went out just now, she closed the door from the outside, but she forgot to lock it inside.
However, this is a small pavilion where women are resting, how can a man come over? Or is it when he is changing his clothes? Although there is no big problem when it is used for rest alone, and when the banquet is resting, it is inevitable that the children of the official family will come to greet the queen, but what is the reason for a man to come in at this time?
Thinking of the previous Imperial Garden and the octagonal bell, she woke up suddenly.
The queen is really guts!
It's only hateful that the queen had a phoenix to protect her at that time, and the phoenix is the king of a hundred birds, compared to the emperor's true dragon spirit, it makes Luan Niao taboo, and he didn't hear who the other protagonist they wanted to frame was. Friends and foes do not dare to venture out, if it is really a lustful disciple, there is no way to get rid of it.
At this time, Luan Ge was only wearing **, and listening to the footsteps, the closer he was, his heart was already hanging. She couldn't help but secretly regret that she really shouldn't be so conceited and eventful, but she wanted to play with the queen. It's really shooting yourself in the foot.
It's good now, I've set myself up and made such a passive.
But this is not the time to regret it after all, you have to think about getting out of it quickly. Fortunately, the footsteps came closer, and then stopped, and only heard the sound of the soft couch, and thought that the man had sat down.
Luan Ge was in a hurry, he had a way to get out of the inside without knowing it, but such a move would inevitably disturb the person outside.
For a moment, she didn't want anything but hope that the person outside the screen would walk away.

When the queen heard the report, she said that someone had led King Ming to the Xinuan Pavilion next to Muchun Pavilion, so she was tired of standing in front of everyone for a long time, and beckoned everyone to go to the Warm Pavilion to eat some melons and fruits, drink tea, relieve hangovers and rest and rest.
The ladies and ladies are used to being lazy at home, and today at the invitation of the queen, how dare they be lazy, they all came a long time earlier than the agreed time, for fear of being caught in something. Coupled with a polite entertainment later, I was already standing with sore legs and feet, how could I not be happy when I heard that I was going to go to the small pavilion to rest?
At that moment, everyone walked in the direction of the small pavilion.
The little eunuch took the Wuhua brocade suit from Zhao Hai's hand and hurriedly sent it to Xinuan Pavilion. After Zhu Bo, who had been guarding the door, handed his clothes in, he closed the door and withdrew, and stood outside the door with him and waited.
Not long after, I saw the queen and her party approaching in a majestic manner.
When the little eunuch saw it, he hurriedly kowtowed: "The slave has seen the mother, the princess, and the ladies and misses. ”
When Uncle Zhu saw this, he also bowed slightly.
"Get up. You go and ask someone to make a few pots of good tea, get some melons and fruits, and the palace will have a short rest with the ladies and ladies. The queen paused, looked at Uncle Zhu and said leisurely: "Isn't this Lord Zhu beside Prince Ming? Why don't you accompany your master to the Muchun Pavilion, but do something outside this small pavilion." ”
"I've seen the Queen Mother. My master was soaked with wine and is now changing his clothes in the warm pavilion. Zhu Bo didn't seem to be aware of the queen's sourness, and his words were straight and round.
"Oh. The queen said casually, and as she spoke, she ignored the two of them and led everyone towards the small pavilion.
As soon as he took two steps, he was stopped by Zhu Bo: "Niangniang! The prince is changing clothes inside!
The queen looked suspicious: "You said that your prince is changing clothes here?"
"Yes. Juber did not perceive anything wrong, but the women began to speak:
"Isn't this a place where the ladies rest, and how can a man enter?"
"yes, how is this a good courtesy!"
“”
Zhu Bo listened to everyone's discussions, and his brows gradually furrowed. This is actually the resting place of the female dependents, how could the little eunuch bring them here?
"If you don't believe it, please ask the little father-in-law just now. He is the one who brought us here. We really don't know why, and I hope Niangniang understands. ”
He began to look for the little eunuch just now, but he never saw the person. Only then did I remember that the queen had sent the little eunuch to prepare melons and fruits just now.
"Shouldn't men rest and change clothes in the Beinuan Pavilion? You have also heard that this is the Xinuan Pavilion where the ladies of the official family rest, but how can any eunuch who is on an errand in the inner court not know such a thing? How can he bring you here to change clothes? The queen was slightly angry, but said, "But since the prince is changing clothes inside, the ladies and I will wait for a while, and then go in to rest when the prince comes out." ”
Zhu Bo opened his mouth to thank him.
Who knows, but I heard Mama Qi pat her head and say: "Eh, look at the old body, this old fool! Niangniang, the third princess is also in the house" Although the voice was low, it was enough for everyone present to hear it clearly.
The queen's face changed.
"Don't talk nonsense!" she reprimanded in a deep voice, paused, and hesitated to speak: "Are you sure about this matter? You must know that this is a major matter related to the third princess and the reputation of the royal family of my Chu State, if you deceive half of it, it is a big crime to slander the royal family and kill the head!"
