Liu got up early, called someone to go to Jinrong's room to call her to get up early, and asked people to go to Shangyi Mansion to pick out the finest embroidery and the most exquisite silk silk for her to go a little bit.

On the contrary to the Liu family, the prime minister did not sleep all night, and the ninth prince specially told him to be there, and he didn't know what kind of means he would use in front of the emperor to embarrass him, but he was worried but had to go, even if it was the Hongmen banquet, he had to go hard.

The autumn sky is blue, the maple leaves are red, and the small bridge in the courtyard is beautiful, but the prime minister has no intention of appreciating it, strode into the Jinrong wing, pushed the door open and walked in.

"Father" Jin Rong saw him coming, got up and saluted, and the prime minister saw her brocade clothes, dressed beautifully and noblely, which was unforgettable, and the hanging heart was slightly closed. "Jinrong, you know how much your father expects from you, you must behave well this time. ”

"Yes, Jin Rong will work hard" Jin Rong Fan clenched his fists, and he was very confident that he could shine in the banquet.

In a relatively simple courtyard, Qing Huan still held a book to read, but saw Cui Wei hurriedly come to say, "Miss, today is the birthday banquet of the Nine Princes, the emperor and the princes of each family will go, I heard that the lord is going to take the eldest lady and the eldest lady with him, why doesn't the young lady go with them?"

"No need, I'm not used to that kind of occasion, there are many rules, and I don't understand it, wouldn't it be embarrassing for my father to make jokes" Qing Huan said lightly, without raising his eyelids.

Cui Wei knew that her young lady had a personality and had no quarrel with the world, but she still expressed the worries in her heart.

"I went to the lord's mansion today to get the monthly silver of each month, and I heard Wang'er and them privately talking that the lord didn't close his eyes all night yesterday, and last month the ninth prince also provoked the lord in public, I'm afraid that this trip is a Hongmen ......banquet."

When Qing Huan heard this, the poems and books in his hand fell heavily to the ground, and his heart was full of worry, his father has always been the pillar of the family, and he is also as kind to himself as a mountain, and now he is in danger, how can he not be in a hurry? Besides, if he is stepped on by the Nine Princes, it will not be a matter of one or two lives.

I got up and went back to my room to change my clothes. "Miss, although it is very good for you to go to the Nine Kings' Mansion, if someone sees a different pupil, won't people find a reason to embarrass the master?" Cui Wei thought of this and was suddenly full of worry.

"Cui Wei, you listen to me, we don't go with them, and we don't let them know that we are going, we secretly took a sedan chair to follow them, and entered the mansion to see how the situation develops, forgive the emperor for being present, the prince does not dare to be too presumptuous, if the situation changes, I will come back as soon as possible to report the news"

"Yes" Don't dare to be sloppy at the critical time, Cui Wei was busy sending someone to quietly prepare the carriage, and Qinghuan was busy to do grooming, so as not to delay the hour.

In the Nine Kings' Mansion, the decoration is splendid, the lights are everywhere, there are many people, all kinds of precious gifts are sent into the mansion, there are all kinds of delicacies of the mountains and seas on the table, which is extremely luxurious.

"The Prime Minister is here to congratulate his wife and young lady" The ceremonial official standing outside the door shouted loudly, accepted the congratulatory gift held by Liu, and wrote down the "jade unicorn set" in the account book

In addition, there are countless curiosities and curiosities given by various officials in one column.

"The Prime Minister is here, hurry up and please!" The Nine Princes glanced at the official as if he didn't think his voice was loud enough, and helped Shangguan Boyi over, changing his previous arrogance and contempt, the prime minister didn't know what medicine he bought in the gourd, so he had to accompany him to greet with a smile.

"This is the dog girl, I specially brought her to meet the Nine Princes today" The prime minister glanced at Jin Rong and motioned for her to come up and say goodbye.

"The little girl Shangguan Jinrong worships the ninth prince of Shoujiu, may the prince be as blessed as the East China Sea, and his longevity is better than Nanshan" Jinrong saluted sideways, gentle and moving, and Liu nodded approvingly on the side.

"It's really a beautiful woman" The Nine Princes glanced at Jin Rong, and there was a little more banter in his tone.

"The prince praised falsely" Jin Rong blushed slightly, and saw that the nine princes' eyebrows and eyes were extremely handsome, and his heart moved slightly.

Wait until all the guests are seated, but the emperor has not shown up, although all kinds of delicacies have already been prepared, still can not open the banquet, must wait for the emperor to arrive before the banquet, the young waiter on the table and talk to each other, Jin Rong has been sitting on the attention of several waiters, has been glancing in her direction, Jin Rong can't help but feel a little proud, her appearance should be a human posture, and the identity and dignity is the daughter of the prime minister's house, which is beyond the reach of many people, but she has great ambitions, just thinking about being able to marry the emperor and become the phoenix among people, those sons are naturally inconspicuous in her eyes。

Qing Huan and Cui Wei took a sedan chair all the way to the gate of the palace, at this time the guests basically went in, and the ceremonial official waited at the door boredly, seeing that they were in a hurry, dressed in plain clothes, just as they were the girls in the palace, and stopped her.

"Dare to ask the girl which maid is in the house? Now everyone is waiting for the emperor to come to the banquet, don't rush in and disturb it."

Qing Huan laughed dumbly in his heart, and simply made a plan, "We are the maids of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and the eldest lady left in a hurry, and forgot to bring the things with the voice, and it was inconvenient to act, so I ordered us to go and get it back."

"Then enter through the side door over there," said the celebrant without much doubt, and pointed them to the door and let them in.

Qing Huan just wanted to enter the door, but he only heard a loud shout outside the door, "The emperor has arrived!" had to retreat, knelt down with Cui Wei, and said "Long live the emperor, long live, long live."

Emperor Xuanyuan Pei frowned and looked majestic and wanted to enter the mansion, he was deliberately late for so long this time just to give the Nine Kings a dismount and remind him not to be too arrogant and presumptuous.

The emperor walked in a hurry, followed by many palace maids and eunuchs, just about to enter the mansion, but saw a green and a blue woman kneeling at the door not far away, but seeing the simple clothes of the two, at first glance I thought it was a maid, but I saw Qing Huan wearing a light blue Pingluo dress, without a pattern, a few orchids sewn between the sleeves, and saw that her pupils seemed to be faintly blue, which matched the clothes very well, and her face was very beautiful, and her heart moved, but she still stepped into the palace without saying a word.

"Long live the emperor, long live, long live" As soon as Xuanyuan Pei stepped into the mansion, all the guests got up and knelt down to salute.

"Let's all be even, today is the birthday of my brother and the ninth prince, everyone doesn't have to be too formal, eat and drink well to get the best of your ability!"

The emperor walked to the side of the ninth prince again, and said as if blaming himself, "Brother Wang, the affairs of the court and the central government are busy today, and it took me a long time to deal with it, I hope you don't care about it in your heart." ”

"The emperor can come to the banquet, it is a great honor for the ministers, how can there be a gift of blame, the emperor should take care of the dragon body, don't forget to sleep and eat because of political affairs" The nine princes hurriedly replied, his words were sincere, full of care, so that everyone couldn't help but sigh at the deep brotherhood, but the moon swallowed coldly in his heart, today at noon, he sent someone to the palace to see, and saw that the emperor was drinking tea in the cold, where did he come from to be busy with political affairs, and he was disdainful in his heart, but his face was not leaking. Each other is playing the role of brotherhood.
