103.Chapter 103: When to marry

Yuan Xiuyu was like a few family treasures, and Tong Yuan Jinyu said softly: "At this time, sitting at the front is Shen Guifei, that is, the mother of the eleventh prince. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Yuan Jinyu looked over and saw Shen Guifei dressed in a gorgeous dress, her head swaying and fanning, and a pair of Danfeng eyes swept so lightly, and the surrounding concubines couldn't help but shrink back.

Shen Guifei, the daughter of the Hubu Shangshu, her mother's family is a family in the capital, and several uncles have titles. With the support of such a family, it is inevitable that he will be in the palace for so many years.

It can even be said that even the queen's mother family can't match Shen Guifei's.

However, since Mu Zhao provoked himself last time, he and their mother and son have little to do with each other, and now that the emperor does not give Mu Zhao the title of king, the mother and son must be worried about how to behave better, so that the emperor can relax, and there should be no intention to notice themselves when they come in.

"Sitting below Shen Guifei is Mrs. Rong, don't look at the two of them have a Rong character, but the grade is one order worse. ”

Yuan Jinyu looked at Mrs. Rong, the mother concubine of King Duan. Mrs. Rong is the daughter of General Zhenyuan, and she is also a little related to Concubine Shen Guifei, but the two are not the same faction in the palace.

Duanwang has had the support of his mother family since he was a child, and he is talented, and now many ministers are staff members of Duanwang's faction. Although King Duan's limelight has made the emperor a little suspicious, and the prince regards him as an opponent, King Duan can always step on the emperor's bottom line, so that the emperor has no handle to pinch him.

"After that, Concubine Li, that is, the mother of the King of Chu......" Yuan Xiuyu was thinking about marrying the King of Chu, and when she saw the mother of the King of Chu at this time, she naturally looked at it twice, after all, she could be regarded as her future mother-in-law.

Yuan Jinyu also glanced at this concubine who was attached to the queen's existence. In fact, Concubine Li is in the palace, and her life is the most comfortable. She is timid and cowardly, and she never dares to disobey the queen's intentions, but I have to say that the queen has taken care of her for so many years, and the king of Chu has today's achievements, so naturally the queen helped her.

Concubine Li looks like a small jasper, compared to the luxurious Shen Guifei and Mrs. Rong, her appearance is obviously much inferior, but her temperament is very reassuring, no wonder she is forty years old this year, but the emperor will go to her from time to time to sit there.

"And then there's Shuyi Niangniang...... The mother clan is an inconspicuous ......" Yuan Xiuyu showed a slightly contemptuous look when she said this.

Shuyi Niangniang, the mother concubine of King Rui and King Ning, was a drag in her last life, and Yuan Jinyu wanted to see if she would be like this in this life.

Yuan Xiuyu is still introducing Yuan Jinyu one by one, but in fact, she only knows the high-ranking concubines, as for those nobles and beauties, she doesn't know who they are.

When this circle was introduced, the ceremonial music in the hall slowly stopped, and a sharp voice of a eunuch sounded: "Your Majesty, the queen has arrived!"

Everyone stood up, knelt on the ground, and shouted: "Long live my emperor, long live, long live, long live, queen thousand years old!"

The sound is neat and resounding in the sky.

Yuan Jinyu kept his head down, not looking at the two people who walked from the door to the highest position.

When the emperor and queen sat down, they heard a calm voice with vicissitudes of life: "Let's all be flat, today is the New Year, don't be too rigid about etiquette." ”

"Thank you for the emperor's grace!" a group of people stood up neatly and sat down in a proper manner.

Now that the emperor and queen have come, presumably those princes have also taken their concubines to sit down.

The ladies can't see the situation on the side of the prince and the minister, and now the position where Yuan Jinyu is sitting is also far away from the emperor and the queen, so when you look up, you can only see an outline.

She squinted her eyes slightly, and saw that the emperor and the queen were both wearing bright yellow clothes, the queen was obviously dressed up, and the phoenix hairpin on her head, she felt panicked when she looked at it.

However, at this time, the queen seemed to be smiling brightly, and she really gave full play to the momentum of the mother of a country.

Thinking that he was going to confront the queen head-on in a while, Yuan Jinyu couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

The emperor also glanced slightly, because he was sitting on a high place, so he could clearly see his courtiers and princes, and the queen sitting next to him was also pouring wine for herself, smiling dignified and generous.

The emperor took the wine glass, smiled at the queen, then raised the wine glass, and said to the crowd below: "This first glass of wine, let me take everyone, and pay tribute to King Duan, King Ning, who is far away in the northwest." The day before yesterday, I was very happy with the news of the big victory!"

The courtiers shouted in unison: "Duan Wang Ning Wang is invincible, this is the good fortune of the Great Zhou!

After speaking, they raised their glasses and drank all the wine in the glass.

The lady also raised a glass here, although the fruit wine with a very low concentration was usually supplied, but after all, it was the first cup of the state banquet, and the emperor personally raised a glass to invite, so everyone naturally couldn't do anything about the fruit wine, and they all drank a glass of spirits.

Yuan Jinyu is not good at drinking, and after swallowing it, he only felt that his throat was burning, and he coughed lightly.

It's just that the voices around her are gradually rising, and no one notices her side.

This kind of state banquet is always torturous. Although the emperor has already said that there is no need to stick to the number of etiquette, the process that should be taken is still to go. Listening to the historian come forward to talk about the events of the Great Zhou this year and the glorious deeds of the emperor, Yuan Jinyu couldn't help but still think about the words that the emperor provoked just now.

King Ning is at the border at this time, can there be a New Year's atmosphere around him?

At this time, the northwest border is still icy and snowy, and it is crystal clear. At night, wolves can be heard from time to time, and in the cold north wind, it is very sluggish.

King Ning was sitting by the bonfire at this moment, holding a jar of soju in his hand, holding the jar of wine, and wanted to pour it into his mouth.

It is said that you can't drink alcohol in the army, but today is the Chinese New Year after all, so each soldier was given some wine, but the amount was small.

is like him, or because he is a general and has privileges.

Tonight's barracks was much more lively than usual, full of soldiers walking around happily and saying pleasant things.

Although he couldn't hear it, he was a little happy to see the smiles on their faces.

King Ning has always disliked getting along with everyone, and even King Duan, although he went out to fight together, rarely met with King Ning except when discussing the war.

Thinking of this hour, the capital should also be full of lights, full of joy. The state banquet should be going on at this time, but he didn't like the state banquet in previous years, but this year he got rid of the boring banquet because he came to the expedition.

There were no clouds tonight, and the moon hung high in the sky, casting a clear glow. It's not particularly round, but it's still lit up by the reflection of the snow.

The campfire in front of him was still burning, and the light of the fire kept jumping.

He held the jar and took another sip of the spirit, and when he swallowed, his Adam's apple still vibrated up and down. His neck was so slender and white that it would be difficult for a woman to look away.

The breath around him was still so cold, and the laughter of others seemed to have nothing to do with him.

Suddenly, King Ning remembered the woman who was smiling and smiling. At this time, she should be in the house, eating dinner with her family, and she is also the time to play, maybe she will take a few maids and set off fireworks in the courtyard.

Putting the jar down, he reached out and touched it, and pulled out a letter from his shirt.

In recent days, he has read this letter several times, and even the sides of the letter are fried.

The self on the letter was still so clearly visible, so that after he read it, his heart could instantly become more calm.

For Yuan Jinyu, there are too many things he doesn't understand. From the beginning, I didn't know how to get along with her, but later I always remembered her face and voice and flower-like smile inexplicably, and now, I put her letter in the most intimate place.

If the war goes well, he will be able to return to Beijing in another month, and when the time comes, can he see her?

It may be that tonight, his expression is a little softer than ever. When a few of the soldiers came this way, a few of them picked up the other one and went to talk to King Ning.

The man finally mustered up his courage and came to King Ning.

King Ning looked up and saw a small soldier looking at him with a red face. He should be a little younger than himself, and his face still has a childish air that has not yet been taken off, his face is red from the cold at this moment, and he stammers when he speaks: "Your Royal Highness King Ning, you, you go in and drink with us!

There was no one in the army who didn't know that King Ning couldn't hear the voice, so when he spoke, he raised his head. King Ning sat on the ground at this time, the fur cloak behind him fluttered away, looking at the weak shoulders of the little soldiers and the appearance of still wearing armor even in the New Year, he suddenly thought that if he could drink with them, this year must be good.

So he stood up and nodded, but his tone was still cold: "Then go in." ”

"Really?" the little soldier smiled instantly, revealing a row of white teeth, and happily waved at a few of his companions over there.

In the army, they always advocate the strong, and King Ning is a well-deserved god in their hearts, so it can be imagined how happy the soldiers are to be able to drink with him like this.

A few small soldiers hugged over in an instant, and when they saw King Ning, they were still a little embarrassed, you pushed me, I pushed yours, and finally the little soldier stood up just now and asked: "Your Highness, did you just read the family letter?"

King Ning was paying attention to them, so when Xiao Bing talked to him at this time, he thought about it, and shook his head slightly: "It's not." ”

The soldiers suddenly burst into laughter, and several of them exchanged glances, and the smiles were much more ambiguous than before.

"It's not a letter from home...... The subordinates understood...... When will His Royal Highness marry someone else's girl back?" "King Ning is deaf and unmarried, which is not a secret in Da Zhou.
