Chapter 232: The Feast Begins

If the second princess Yang wanted to harm Qi Cheng's bloodline, then Concubine Hui would not agree to it first, although there is not much family affection and blood relationship for this reason, but Qi Heng and Qi Yu's heirs are also Qi Cheng's political bargaining chips and advantages.

In this troubled world, the abundance of heirs is also a huge advantage.

Therefore, although Qi Yu has now been placed under house arrest by the second princess Yang and is not allowed to step out of the door, there is no threat to his life, which makes Deliang Cheng have some complicated feelings.

Yes, she actually hopes that the second princess Yang will be able to give Qi Yu the result now, for this "back then" and Shen Yunchong's embarrassment, which caused the Shen family to be in turmoil, the eldest uncle was forced to step down, and the second uncle and the second uncle's mother were born and died, and the other culprit was in a foreign land, Liang Cheng sometimes really hoped that he would be killed by the Yang family earlier.

But sometimes people's minds are so complicated, when everything has not happened yet, and there is no longer the same tragedy as in the previous life, Liang Cheng thinks that this will be a little unfair to Qi Yu?

After the complicated thoughts went around Liang Yuan's heart like this, there was still no result in the end, and Qi Yu slowly disappeared in Jian'an.

Although it's not that no one has mentioned him, but the sudden disappearance in Jian'an can't be regarded as a strange thing, here, every day, there will be people who suddenly and inexplicably stop appearing and disappear from people's sight, and some of them are only temporarily gone, but some people will never appear again.

If someone is a discerning person, then he will find that this is a phenomenon that only occurs when there is a change of power within their respective families at that time, or when there is a conflict of interests in the court.

But in any case, it is not a surprise that someone has disappeared in Jian'an, not to mention that after the fall of Qi Huai, if there is no change in the second prince's mansion, it will be strange.

But since Qi Yu had already been driven to Taixue by the Second Princess, the Yang family, how did he get his twists and turns to Concubine Meng and her old man's side? Could it be that with Qi Yu's current situation, he still has the strength to spare?

Liang Cheng looked at Zhong Qing in amazement, but Zhong Qing sighed and said: "I also heard about this from His Royal Highness Qi Ling, I heard that the second princess was furious after learning about this, but since the folds have been handed to the concubine and her old man, the second princess does not dare to meddle in this matter now." ”

Liang Cheng's eyes sank, "It's really a good calculation, put yourself in front of the concubine and her old man, so who else dares to touch him again?" Qi Yu is afraid that he has been waiting for this day for a long time. ”

"The second princess has the strictest 'care' for His Royal Highness Qi Heng and His Royal Highness Qi Yu, and even their diet and daily life are completely handled by special personnel, in such a situation, His Royal Highness Qi Yu's performance can still be sent to Linyang Palace, which naturally cannot be prepared recently. ”

To do such a thing, it can only be that Qi Yu was already prepared before he was sent to Taixue by the second princess Yang, otherwise under such layers of surveillance, Qi Yu would not even be able to send a note, let alone a letter.

It's just that in this way, how deep does Qi Yu's scheming have to be so that he can have insight into the intentions of the second princess Yang before she even makes a move, so he prepared such a letter in advance?

Liang Cheng and Zhong Qing's expressions were a little ugly, and Liang Cheng felt that her eyebrows were faintly painful, if Qi Yu's plan really succeeded, and the second princess Yang could control him under the pretext of going to the front line to participate in the war, it would really be a sky high and a bird would fly and a fish would leap into the sea.

"What did the old lady say, the concubine, wouldn't she have already granted Qi Yu's request?"

Liang Cheng looked at Zhong Qing nervously, while Zhong Qing shook her head with a smile and said, "Since the old lady will not agree to His Royal Highness Qi Ling's request, then His Royal Highness Qi Yu will naturally not be an exception." ”

"That's good. Liang Cheng breathed a sigh of relief, although because of the hand that Qi Yu had prepared a long time ago, the current second princess Yang did not dare to persecute him too much because of her scruples about Concubine Meng.

But Qi Yu wants to take this opportunity to take advantage of the situation to escape from the control of the second princess Yang, but I am afraid that it will not be realized, but Liang Cheng also doesn't believe that Qi Yu will stop when he comes to this step, he must have a follow-up move waiting for him.

Liang Cheng and Zhong Qing's mood was not very good next, and there was only one thing that the two of them talked about in a low voice, even if the sun had begun to slowly set below the ridge line of Yanshan, Zhong Qing and Liang Cheng had to temporarily separate to prepare for the banquet that was about to start, and the things that Liang Cheng was thinking about had always been about Qi Yu.

"Miss, let's go back to Yanwu Courtyard first, shall we?"

At this time, the place where Liang Cheng was located was in a mandala forest in the inner courtyard, where the eyes were full of blood-red mandala flowers, which were in full swing in the cold winter wind, and they were already a little beautiful. And when Liang Cheng looked up at them, she felt that the mandala flowers that caught her eyes at this time were really too popular to the eye.

"Well, let's go back, it's not too early, the banquet should be about to start. After Liang Cheng sighed inaudibly, she nodded to Nian Xiang, turned around and walked towards Yanwu Courtyard.

……

……

The sun set, night fell, Zhong Qing's birthday banquet finally officially began, and the Yanwu courtyard was also full of people at this time, it was really a gathering of distinguished guests, although there were not many people who really came to congratulate Zhong Qing on his birthday.

But it is also thanks to the blessings of these people, this banquet is now extremely lively and grand, after Princess Changping, Tang Menglan and Qi Jiu, the prince of King Ying, have all gathered here, it is impossible for this banquet not to be grand.

And when Princess Changping and Tang Menglan were being watched by everyone in the Yanwu Courtyard, Liang Cheng still hid in a quiet corner as usual, and when no one could find her, Liang Cheng was thinking about her own problems peacefully.

"Miss, the tea is ready. Qingzhu brought the Songmeng that she poured in person, and gently placed it in front of Liang Ming, Liang Ming's body is not good, she can't drink, so as long as she goes out, Qingzhu and Nianxiang will go out with Songmeng or Luxue.

Today is no exception, when everyone was drinking fine wine, Liang Cheng was holding up the hot tea alone and sipping it gently, and when everyone's eyes fell on Princess Changping and Tang Menglan, Liang Cheng set her eyes on another person.

Today, Chu Gu will come to Zhongfu for a banquet, and Liang Cheng is only fifty percent sure, after all, Qi Jiu, the prince of the winning king, will come, so Liang Cheng still has an eye, but he didn't expect him to really come to the banquet today.

It seems that Chu Gu attaches great importance to Qi Jiu!

Liang Cheng sat behind the crowd, looking at the young man who was being snubbed by everyone in the distance, he was still smiling, she couldn't stop muttering in her heart, and she didn't know what Chu Gu was thinking now.

He values Qi Jiu, and she is not incomprehensible, after all, King Win is now almost in a state of abandoning Bingbeidao, and almost everything in Bingbeidao is now handled by Qi Jiu.

Therefore, Chu Gu would want to win over Qi Jiu, and Liang Cheng was not incomprehensible, but judging from the things Chu Gu had done to Qi Jiu now, was it a little too enthusiastic? This had already exceeded Liang Cheng's expectations.

Sipping the Songmeng tea in her hand, her eyes turned to the direction of Chu Gu in the distance, Liang Cheng's eyes were surprised, but it was impossible for her to ask Chu Gu clearly, so she had to sit here.

At the beginning of the banquet, the sound of silk and bamboo, the dancers danced gracefully, and the prosperous scene of singing and dancing in the Yanwu Courtyard, if you only look at the atmosphere here, you can't see that Xiyin is suffering from a very turbulent situation.

But at the moment, they are so blindly whitewashing the peace, and the princes and nobles never mention the reality that war may break out, and they are still drunk and dreaming of death every day, creating the illusion that it seems to be so peaceful and envious for this prosperous imperial capital.

Liang Cheng bets that nearly eighty percent of the people at the banquet actually know the current situation of Xiyinde, but everyone doesn't say anything, and they are still so drunk and drunk every day.

I really don't know what kind of faces these people at the banquet will be at the moment when the war on the frontier really ignites?

In fact, Liang Cheng already knew the answer, before the exact same thing happened, they weren't like this, Liang Cheng didn't doubt at all how these people would panic then.

Liang Cheng looked at this big drama silently, and then was silent, and in the banquet center, at the top were Zhong Shangshu and Mrs. Zhong, and then Zhong Qing and Princess Changping, and Tang Menglan had been staying by the side of Qi Jiu, the prince of the winning king.

Although Princess Changping was very unhappy with such a position arrangement, but today she came to Zhongfu for a banquet, and she was not the only one who represented herself, so this was a place where she had to sit if she didn't want to, so Princess Changping could only watch Tang Menglan stick to Qi Jiu's side with hatred.

And after three rounds of drinking, Mrs. Zhong has been talking with Princess Changping, and the others have been echoing, and the comings and goings are no different from weekdays, Liang Cheng is fortunately also far away from the center, so she has not been affected by these flattering enthusiasm.

Anyway, she has a bad body and bones, she needs to be quiet, and the reason why she can't be disturbed is really an excellent reason anywhere, others don't dare to disturb her, and Zhong Shangshu and Mrs. Zhong don't want to upset her, so Liang Cheng has stolen another leisure.

She has been watching the excitement in front of her from a distance, looking at Princess Changping and Tang Menglan, who are surrounded by people in the center, showing a perfect polite smile again and again, and greeting everyone politely.

But of course, in this banquet, Liang Cheng was not the only one who was isolated behind the crowd, but the reason why they were kept away was not like Liang Cheng who deliberately dispersed people from approaching.

The reason why they are separated by the crowd is to be more ruthless.

Liang Cheng took her eyes away from the center of the banquet, and quietly cast her eyes on another quiet corner, where there were two or three scattered figures, among which was a tall and thin young figure, Chu Gu.

Chu Gu's expression at this time was completely different from those who were also left out in the cold next to him, but if anyone was ignored, most of them were lonely, but Chu Gu was extremely opposite, and he couldn't see the lonely expression on his face at all.

At this time, it is the last bit of sunlight outside the house, and it is the warmest when it falls. The wind, blowing gently, blew the rustle of the leaves of the willows, and gently echoed in the ears, like the clear water of the tinkling dong.

And the peach trees in the middle of summer, now the peach blossoms have long withered, at this time only the dry branches remain, swaying slightly in the orange sun and wind, and it is also in this street full of dry peach trees, a peach tree that is already very old, and life is about to come to an end, the peach tree is full of fog and flowers, as if the peach blossoms are colorful.

……

……

During the juvenile reign of Emperor Wen, a great war broke out between Xiyin and Houshu, and it was this great war that made Liang Hu, the general of Zhendong in Xiyin, begin to show his edge and amaze the world - Liang Hu led the only 100,000 troops left in Xiyin at that time, repelled the wolf army of Houshu, and invaded Shu nearly thousands of miles away, forcing Houshu to take the initiative to negotiate peace.

At that time, although Xiyin was like a rainbow at that time, but in fact, the national strength was extremely weak, and it was really a fantasy to take advantage of this to annex Houshu. Emperor Wen knew this very well, so this war between the two countries provoked by Hou Shu first, and finally ended with Hou Shu's initiative to negotiate peace. After many unequal treaties were signed in Houshu and a prince was sent to Xiyin as a proton, the war was completely quelled.

As for the lord of Dongyu County...... Chu Gu's mother, that is, at that time, arrived with Proton.

Concubine Meng is one of the four concubines of the first emperor, and the queen of the first emperor has only one in her life, and that is Empress Yuan Houzhen. After Empress Zhen's red face and early death, the first emperor did not establish a new one, and took charge of the power of the six palaces, but in the end, she was the favorite concubine of Emperor Cheng, Li Guifei.

Li Guifei is a person who is authoritarian and domineering, and has great ambitions, and has always wanted to meddle in national affairs, and when the first emperor was critically ill, she conspired with the imperial doctor to falsely announce the edict, and deceived all the adult princes into the Guangming Palace, and poisoned them all.

In the end, Li Guifei and her father and brother also launched the Chengdemen Mutiny, wanting to establish his three-year-old son as the emperor, if it weren't for the fact that at the last moment, Concubine Meng risked her life to rescue the widow of Empress Yuan Houzhen - Emperor Wen and King Li, who were only eleven years old at the time, and King Li, so that the three princes had a reason to fight back, then it is estimated that Li Guifei's poisonous plan would have been successful.

It's just that after everything was settled, people suddenly discovered that Concubine Meng's eldest son and youngest son had all died in the conspiracy in Guangming Palace.

And these are also so profound and clear in Liang Cheng's previous life, on the eve of his father and mother being beheaded.

Emperor Wen died, Emperor Huai ascended the throne, and compared with Emperor Wen's name of Mingjun, Emperor Huai's cruelty and mediocrity are even more ugly.

All those who had offended him were dismissed from office and sentenced to prison within a month, and none of them were spared.

Among them, although the worst cannot be regarded as the Liang family, after Liang Sixuan was convicted of capital crime and imprisoned, and the Shen family was also convicted of insulting Emperor Huai and Shen Yunchong's secret troublemakers, Liang Sixuan used the last strength of the Liang family to save Liang Yong's life, and she knew everything.
