Chapter 12: Face the Saint
Because the civil and military officials stood with their backs to Jiang Yuetang, Jiang Yuetang could only see the faces of Jinshang and the father-in-law beside him. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Although Li Pei has only been on the throne for less than two months, he is scheming and decisive, calm and unhurried, and his conversation is even more impeccable, which shows that he has also worked hard since he was a child.
It is no wonder that the death of the first emperor and his succession did not have much impact on the people, Jiang Yuetang said in his heart. But when she thought that she would have to do things under this person's nose in the future, she couldn't help but secretly sweat.
This man is so smart, agile and sophisticated, it may not be easy to hide his true identity in front of him.
However, since they have chosen this path, there is no way to retreat anymore, and I hope that the two of them will not be suspicious because they can see each other often in the future.
Jiang Yuetang was afraid that he would notice that he was eavesdropping and peeping, so he quietly sat back in his position and waited for them to retreat.
But there seem to be a lot of officials who have something to report today, so the early dynasty goes up until the sun rises.
When he heard the officials inside shouting "Long live my emperor, long live, long live, long live", Jiang Yuetang knew that they had finally gone down, and hurriedly stood up from the stool and looked for Jiang Chuanxiong in the crowd.
Jiang Chuanxiong and several officials walked towards Jiang Yuetang while talking, and when he arrived at Jiang Yuetang, he picked her up and asked, "It's boring to wait, right?"
"No, it won't. โ
"That's good, Daddy will take you to His Majesty's birthday banquet now. โ
Today's birthday banquet was held in the Calyx Building 1 of the Imperial Palace, which was already full of people.
Because it is today's birthday, everyone is wearing brightly colored costumes today, and from a distance, they only feel that the red is dancing and colorful, festive and lively.
Jiang Chuanxiong was arranged to sit at the closest table to Jinshang.
When he walked in the direction of Jinshang and the Empress Dowager, Jiang Chuanxiong whispered to Jiang Yuetang: "You will have to salute Jinshang, the Empress Dowager, the eldest princess, the second princess, the second highness and the concubine Meng Taigui one by one." He added: "Sitting on the right side of the present are the Queen Mother, the eldest princess, and the second princess. Sitting on the left side of the present are His Royal Highness the Second Highness and Concubine Meng. Remember?"
Jiang Yuetang nodded and silently wrote it down.
When he was about to come to them, Jiang Yuetang was so nervous that his face turned red, but he still saluted the six of them one by one.
When she saluted, she didn't dare to look up at them at all, but she vaguely heard the Queen Mother say to Jinshang: "She looks quite delicate and smart." โ
After finishing the salute, Jiang Yuetang returned to Jiang Chuanxiong's side and sat down.
At this time, Jiang Yuetang dared to look at them.
When Jiang Yuetang looked at him from a distance outside the palace, he felt that he was domineering today, but when he looked at it from such a close distance at this moment, he felt that he was a little more easy-going, however, that face was even more handsome and handsome.
The Queen Mother is the biological mother of Li Pei, who is about 367 years old. At this moment, she looked at Jiang Yuetang with a smile, her dignified demeanor showed her good upbringing, and Shengxue's skin and clear eyes quietly revealed her nobility and intelligence.
This woman has a moving charm that has been precipitated over the years, which makes it difficult to take your eyes off.
This woman is said to have been favored by the first emperor.
Concubine Meng is about the same age as the Queen Mother, and she is also beautiful and graceful, but the expression on her face is cold, so she feels unapproachable.
It is said that she was also the favorite concubine of the first emperor and competed with the queen mother for more than ten years. However, the first emperor always loved the queen mother the most, so he gave birth to four children with the queen mother before and after, and only gave birth to the second prince Li Ji with Concubine Meng.
The second prince, Li Ji, is about fifteen or sixteen years old, and his appearance is somewhat similar to that of Li Pei today, because he always has a gentle smile on his face, so he feels quite easy-going.
This second prince does not seem to have inherited his mother's cold arrogance.
The eldest princess is about thirteen or fourteen years old, the eldest daughter of the first emperor and the empress dowager, and everyone calls her 'Princess Changyun'. Princess Changyun has ice skin and jade skin, and her face is like a peach blossom, and she is already quite coquettish of a girl.
The second princess was also born to the first emperor and the queen mother, and is about seven or eight years old, with a round face, thick eyebrows, and a pair of big and bright eyes. Her name is 'Princess Chang'an'.
Jiang Yuetang looked at them all and then withdrew his gaze. At the same time, she suddenly had a question-didn't she say that the Empress Dowager and the first emperor had four children together?
However, at this moment, it was inconvenient for her to ask such a personal question, so she had to suppress this question in her heart first.
Jiang Yuetang moved her gaze to the adjacent table on the left, but saw that all the people sitting at this table were men, and they were all beautifully dressed and luxurious. If you look closely, you will see that several of them look quite similar.
"There are five princes at this table, and two are sons of the prince. Jiang Chuanxiong whispered to Jiang Yuetang.
That is the brother and nephew of the first emperor.
Jiang Yuetang looked at them again.
Suddenly, she noticed that one of the men always looked at the Queen Mother.
The man was about twenty-five years old, with a burly figure and a dignified appearance.
Jiang Yuetang couldn't help but ask Jiang Chuanxiong softly: "Daddy, who is that?"
Jiang Chuanxiong looked at it and replied in a low voice: "That is the son of the great prince, named Li Huai, who is good at using soldiers to point generals, and has a supernatural light skill, known as 'Divine Feather Tiger'." โ
"Is the one sitting next to him his father?" Jiang Yuetang asked again.
"Well, this father and son are divided into southern Xinjiang, and currently have a total of ten cities, which is the one who has the most cities among the princes. He also said: "Both their father and son are brave and good at fighting, and they are rich and rich, and they are called 'Dragon and Tiger Heroes'." โ
Jiang Yuetang nodded.
Seeing that Li Huai often looked at the Queen Mother, Jiang Yuetang vaguely felt that this person's mind was not simple.
However, a woman like the Queen Mother is indeed very attractive, so Jiang Yuetang didn't think much about it.
After the birthday banquet began, officials came to toast Jinshang, and for a while, the table was full of people.
Jiang Yuetang's table was next to the table today, so she was also surrounded by people at this time, she was small, so she had to stand there and look up at them.
Finally, the toasters were gone, and the birthday banquet was almost over.
Today, he asked Jiang Chuanxiong and Guo Yifan, the secretary of the Criminal Department, to go to his study.
Because Jiang Yuetang was too young, Jiang Chuanxiong was afraid that it would be unsafe for her to be outside alone, so he also took her there.
After entering the study, Li Pei sat down on the dragon chair with a robe and said to Jiang Chuanxiong and Guo Yifan: "Although the first emperor had occasional minor physical illnesses during his lifetime, he would never die. I've always wondered about his death. โ
Jiang Chuanxiong and Guo Yifan glanced at each other.
In fact, they were also shocked when they learned the news, so they immediately entered the palace to assist Li Pei in succeeding to the throne.
"It happened very suddenly, and when you think about it, it still feels a little incredible. Guo Yifan responded.
"In the past month or so, I was busy with the succession and enthronement and had no time to follow up on this matter, but now that the matter on my side is generally safe, I hope that Guo Aiqing will immediately launch a secret investigation into this matter. Li Pei said softly.
Jiang Chuanxiong and Guo Yifan immediately replied in unison: "Your Majesty is intelligent. โ
Li Pei looked at Jiang Chuanxiong again, and said softly: "I know that you have to deal with the 'Sixty-Nine Competition' with all your might, so you don't need to get involved in this matter, but as the first assistant, you need to know." โ
"Yes, thank you for your trust. Jiang Chuanxiong hurriedly said.
"The '69 Race' is coming, I wonder how Jiang Aiqing is preparing?" Li Pei asked again.
"Back to Your Majesty, I am doing my best to prepare. โ
"Jiang Yueting is also going to participate in the Strategist Qualifying Tournament this year, right?" Li Pei looked at Jiang Yuetang and asked.
When he asked him like this, Jiang Yuetang's heart was about to jump out, and he hurriedly got up and replied to him: "Back to Your Majesty, yes." โ
Thinking that she hadn't yet begun to learn chess, strategy, and the art of war, and that there were only thirty days left before the '69 Tournament', she couldn't help but feel anxious.
Note 1: Calyx Tower is generally the entertainment venue of the Imperial Palace, and its name is taken from "Poetry, Xiaoya, Tangtang", and the emperor's birthday banquet is usually held here.
