Dusk, Shadow Guard stronghold. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Qian Feng strode into the room, Wu Zhengxiang looked up and saw him, a smile appeared on his lips, and asked, "Everything is done?"

"That's natural, if I make a move, how can it be in vain?"

This time, Wen Mulan was given to Xu Wanzhen, using Qian Feng's own manpower, but it had nothing to do with the shadow guard.

Wu Zhengxiang nodded and said, "How does she look?" Counting the days, I haven't seen her for several days, and I miss her very much.

Qian Feng showed a teasing smile and quipped: "How can it be bad to have a high-ranking shadow master like you planning for her?"

Wu Zhengxiang was happy, in front of him, he didn't intend to hide his feelings for Xu Wanzhen. If you count from Qian Feng's admiration for Su Zhiqing, he is still a junior.

Qian Feng sat across from him, wanting to say something but stopping.

Wu Zhengxiang glanced at him and said, "Just say whatever you want, I don't have outsiders here." "Indeed, except for Wu Rui guarding the door of the house, there was no one else in the courtyard.

Qian Feng lowered his voice and said, "I want to ask your lordship, what do you think in your heart when the situation in Beijing and China is currently in contention?"

After pondering for a moment, Wu Zhengxiang said: "The emperor is the co-lord of the four seas, a rare Ming monarch. Now that it is the peak of spring and autumn, I don't care what others think, but I am only loyal to the emperor. ”

Qian Feng nodded and asked, "It's okay now, but when I look at this situation, it will get worse and worse in less than three years." At that time, if you have to choose a side, what about adults?"

Everyone knows that "long live the emperor" is just a slogan, where is there really a long-lived emperor? When the emperor dies and Wu Zhengxiang and the others are still young, what should they do?

In all dynasties, along with the new emperor's accession to the throne, it was all a great purge. No one is exempt from the promotion and promotion of those who support meritorious service, the suppression and dismissal of opponents, and the immobilization or execution of those who threaten. If you choose to remain neutral, it is possible that the new emperor will not be held accountable, and it is possible that the entire family will fall silent.

Wu Zhengxiang had already asked himself this question hundreds of times, the crown prince and the king of Qi, in the end, they always had to choose one person, who should be chosen? Even General Long, who was far away in the northwest frontier, knew how to take precautions and sent Fan Bin to explore the road first.

"Looking at it for another two years, there is no rush at the moment. The more critical the moment, the more you can see the character of people, and good birds should also choose trees to perch. ”

Hearing him say this, Qian Feng knew what to expect. Yes, it's not them who are anxious now, it's the crown prince and the king of Qi.

……

The next day, May 26, King Qi's birthday.

Princess Zhaoyang's car drove out of Gong Si Fang and headed towards the Qi Palace.

The upper middle door of the Qi Wangfu was wide open, and the traffic was busy. Horse-drawn carriages continued to arrive, and there was an endless stream of high-ranking officials, important ministers, and powerful lords.

The chief of the palace received the guests at the door, and the important guests were personally greeted by the king of Chu.

King Qi, as the protagonist of today's birthday, sat upright in the lobby and accepted the congratulations of visitors from all over the world.

There is a way that people are in good spirits when they are happy, he is wearing a purple large flower silk robe, a jade belt hooked belt around his waist, and a high crown of seven treasures glazed on his head. With a smile on the corner of his mouth, his face is handsome, and the whole person looks heroic.

Princess Qi greeted the female relatives in the flower hall in the backyard. King Qi's birthday, the top names in Beijing, no matter what their position, were all present today.

"Princess Zhaoyang has arrived!"

With the roll call at the door, Princess Zhaoyang hugged the ground and entered the flower hall.

Princess Qi hurriedly greeted her and said with a smile: "The imperial sister is here! Your imperial brother has sent someone to ask several times." ”

Princess Zhaoyang smiled heartily: "Hello sister-in-law, I came early in the morning to congratulate my brother outside!"

When she came, all the ladies present stood up one after another and saluted her.

"Please, this is a family feast, you can do whatever you want. If you pay attention to these false etiquette, you will be tired to death!" Princess Zhaoyang was straightforward and fast-talking, and the bright smile on her face made these ladies feel very cordial.

Princess Zhaoyang took a seat and began to talk. Ask the old lady of the family if she is okay, and when the young lady of the family will hold the ceremony. Whose big fat boy is full moon, whose daughter-in-law is pregnant with the second one, Princess Zhaoyang is like a treasure.

What is rare is that every lady and lady here, she remembers it clearly, not bad at all. Even if it is a young lady who appears for the first time, she can call out her identity in one mouth. Let everyone in this hall feel valued by Princess Zhaoyang.

After only a while, Princess Zhaoyang became the absolute protagonist in this flower hall.

The old lady of Dingguo, Li, looked at Princess Zhaoyang who was radiating light in the crowd and sighed in her heart.

She is the most like the emperor among all the children of Empress Cao. At a young age, he revealed a strategy far beyond ordinary people. In the cold heart and cold feelings, the supremacy of interests is even more like.

When the emperor decreed that she should marry the Khitan, Empress Cao was such a daughter, where was she willing to marry to the Khitan thousands of miles away? For this reason, she had a big quarrel with the emperor, and the emperor and queen had a cold war for a while.

During that time, she was anxious and often went to the palace to persuade her. But Empress Cao insisted on not listening, and the emperor must change his will. In the end, it was Princess Zhaoyang who eased this matter.

Regarding the fate of marrying the Khitan, she did not cry or quarrel, and handled it calmly. I don't know what she said to Empress Cao when she entered the palace, and finally ended this cold war.

It's a pity that she's not a man!

Although there were many guests, King Qi's birthday banquet was quite low-key.

did not invite the troupe to come in to sing in the hall, nor did he deliberately set up a longevity shed. I just invited the silk and bamboo team to help the fun on the male guest's side. The female guest invited a few female gentlemen to tell the story.

Before the birthday banquet began, the angel came to announce the decree, and the emperor and queen rewarded it, and the pearl was a royal meal.

After listening to the proclamation, everyone in the hall had their own thoughts. In previous years, the birthday of King Qi was usually rewarded by the queen's decree. It is the first time that the emperor and queen have jointly issued an edict, and it seems that there are rumors in the palace that the emperor's attitude towards the queen has greatly improved, which is not a lie.

After listening to the proclamation, the smile on the prince's handsome face was a little distorted, and he secretly clenched the fist hidden in his sleeve, feeling hatred in his heart.

His only reliance is on the position of the orthodox prince, which is the unique favor of his father. Is it necessary to lose even this?

King Qi's birthday banquet was decent, not brilliant and not very faulty, but there was an episode in the middle.

was between the scent of clothes and sideburns, and the staggered cups, but I heard an exclamation.

Everyone turned their heads to look and saw a woman with a frightened face and a panicked path.

Her face was slightly pale, and even if she looked flustered, she couldn't hide her flowery and moonlit appearance and watery eyes. Dressed in an apricot pattern half-arm, lined with a blue and blue skirt, and a wishful gilt hairpin inserted in the bun. This outfit is a bit confusing to guess her identity.

Looking at her face and figure, the demeanor revealed in her gestures is obviously not a maid. Look at her hair bun is a girl's hairstyle, but this dress is only a little better than the maid, where does it look like a young lady?
