On the twenty-third day of the lunar month, Chinese New Year's Eve, everyone in the court of the King of Wei was busy preparing for the rehearsal of the palace banquet on Chinese New Year's Eve. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 Info Chen followed a guard to the side of the stage, where Princess Mo's son, Zuo Qiuyu, was directing the layout of the stage.

"The villain sees the little prince of Zuoqiu. The guards who led the way for Chen saluted Zuo Qiu Yu.

"The eldest prince asked you to come?" Zuo Qiu Yu glanced at the guards, recognized him as the person of the eldest prince's mushroom, and turned to look at Chen and said, "Who is this?"

"Mr. Nan is a trickster invited by the Great Prince to perform. ”

"My surname is Nan, a single name is an eastern character, a native of the night country. I've seen the little prince. "Chenli is thoughtful.

"Oh, Mr. Nan is from the Night Country, and now that the four countries are in war, and there is no war in the Night Country, why did Mr. leave his hometown and come here?" Seeing Chen's indifferent appearance of being accustomed to seeing big scenes, Zuo Qiu Yu's attitude was obviously a little polite.

"I have been traveling all over the world to perform all year round, and this time I performed in the restaurant at the time of the arrival of the prince, so I was fortunate to perform in the royal court. ”

"Hmm. Zuo Qiu Yu nodded, and after a little thought, he said to the guards, "You return to the eldest prince, and I will arrange Mr. Nan's performance." ”

"Yes, the villain is retired. ”

"Sir, do you need to rest for a while?" Zuo Qiu Yu asked Chen.

"Let's familiarize myself with the venue so that I can prepare for the performance. Chen replied unhurriedly.

"It's okay, I'll take my husband around......"

Before Zuo Qiu Yu finished speaking, suddenly a guard came to report:

"The little prince, that is, the Tamar girl under the concubine's tent, has something to see. ”

When Zuo Qiu Yu heard this, he glanced at it from a distance, and sure enough, when he saw Tama's figure, he couldn't help but be stunned and said:

"That is, what is the matter with the concubine looking for me......"

"Miss Tamar seems to say that it was the mother who passed by yesterday and lost something here, and only found it today, so she sent Miss Tamar to look for it. ”

"That's right. Zuo Qiu Yu didn't dare to ignore the matter of the concubine, so he said to Chen, "I'll go over first." ”

"The little prince is busy when he has something, so it's okay to wait here for a while. Chen said with a smile, and after seeing Zuo Qiu Yu walk away, Chen's eyes flashed, and his figure quickly disappeared in place.

On the night of Chinese New Year's Eve, the Uighur court was very lively, and there was no sign that any country was at war.

Opposite the stage where the palace banquet was held, the emperor sat in the middle of the chairman, the queen, the concubine, and the concubine on the right side sat in turn, and on the left hand side were the eldest princess and Princess Mo. On the right side of the second seat, the eldest prince Rongrong, the third prince Ge Sheng, the fifth prince Xun Qi, the little prince of Zuoqiu, Zuoqiu Yu, and the lord of Moha, Mohamei Yanran, were seated. Among them, the brothers of Rong Rong and Xun Qi and Zuo Qiu Yu talked and laughed freely, and there was no estrangement at all. And Ge Sheng because of Helian Jialu and after the two of them tore their faces, the relationship between the two has not been harmonious, coupled with the change in status now, Ge Sheng just lowered his head and turned the wine glass, and was silent. On the left side of the second seat sat several high-ranking old ministers.

After the emperor delivered a New Year's greeting to everyone, the palace banquet performance officially began, and everyone present was watching and commenting on the performance in addition to toasting each other.

Chen's trick performance, which is named "Nandong", is ranked second-to-last, which is quite a finale, and everyone on the other side of the stage is full of expectations for such a novel performance. From the moment Chen came to the stage, the speed of his movements and the incredible tricks of his hands have attracted everyone present to watch attentively.

Just when the performance was about to climax and everyone's attention was focused on the stage, above the chairman of the emperor, concubines, and princesses on the opposite side of the stage, a tent board shook imperceptibly, and then the frequency of the shed board shook more and more, and when people could clearly hear this movement, the fragments of the tent board were already floating and falling straight to the direction where the emperor was located.

At the critical moment, Chen's feet shook, and he walked quickly to Emperor Xian, and used his arm to block the falling fragments of the shed for Emperor Xian. At the same time, Ge Sheng also came in a flash and protected the other side of the emperor. Then, the rest of the people gathered around, and they all said:

"Your Majesty, how are you?"

"Father, you're not hurt, are you?"

"Brother Huang, it doesn't matter!"

Emperor Xian frowned, waved his hand to interrupt everyone, first turned his gaze to Ge Sheng, and then looked at Chen after a pause, then withdrew his gaze, and said meaningfully:

"In the face of this danger, if I didn't have the protection of the three princes and this trickster, how could I still stand here and talk to you? ”

Ge Sheng and Chen both lowered their eyes and did not take advantage of this to invite credit, but the mushroom exploded the nest and said:

"Erchen was fascinated by Mr. Nan's performance for a while, and he didn't find out the danger encountered by his father in time, so he asked his father to forgive him. However, Mr. Nan was originally invited by his sons to perform for his father, and now he rescued his father, which can also be regarded as his sons' merits. I would like to thank Mr. Nan here. ”

The eldest prince said seriously. The emperor's dragon body is unharmed, which is the blessing of all the people. Chen replied indifferently.

"I don't know my husband's name yet. Emperor Xian ignored the mushroom and said to Chen.

"In the Lower South East, the Night Nation People. Chen arched his hand and said, but because the movement of his hand involved the wound on his arm, he couldn't help but gasp.

"Mr. Nan is injured?" said Emperor Xian with concern.

That is, the concubine looked at Chen, and there was a trace of imperceptible worry in her eyes.

When Chen heard the concern in Emperor Xian's words, his heart jumped, and the taste in his heart was complicated, but he still said calmly on his face:

"I think I just smashed my arm, it's nothing. The emperor is the Son of Heaven, so it's good to call the name below. ”

"Well, Nandong, you can rest for a while, and I will thank you later. Come on, ask the imperial doctor to heal Mr. Nan's wounds!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty. ”

Emperor Xian sent Chen away, stared into the distance, and said to Ge Sheng:

"Father and son are connected, and the one who cares about his father the most is Ge Sheng. ”

"Like Mr. Nan just said, my father is the Son of Heaven...... Emperor Xianhuang's words relieved Ge Sheng's heart for many days, Ge Sheng said, inevitably arousing a little sadness and grievances, and his words were choked, "...... He is the father of his son. Erchen just did what he was supposed to do. ”

"No matter what happens, you have always been the proud son of your father. Go back to the tent and rest for a while, and I will find you if something happens. Emperor Xian patted Ge Sheng on the shoulder, just like an ordinary father's love for his child.

"The retainer retired. Father must not be angry, the body is important. Because Ge Sheng knew the emperor, he couldn't help but admonish in advance.

"I know it. Emperor Xian then said, "The ladies also retreated." ”

"Brother Huang, Yu'er, he ......" Princess Mo wanted to intercede for her son.

"Stand down. "The emperor is just two words, but he has undoubted majesty.

"Let's go, Yu'er will be fine. The eldest princess pulled Princess Mo as she spoke, and followed the queen and the others to retire and leave.

At this time, except for the people who performed before kneeling on the stage, only three people were left in front of the emperor, including Rong Rong, Xun Qi, and Zuo Qiu Yu. Zuo Qiu Yu knew that it was difficult to escape the blame, so he immediately knelt down on one knee and asked the emperor for his guilt:

"Zuo Qiu Yu is not doing things effectively, please ask the emperor to condemn him. ”

"Hmph. Do you think I won't condemn you?" Emperor Xian was robbed of white by Zuo Qiu Yu, and his anger was not extinguished.

"Father, although Yu is responsible for the layout of the stage, the safety of the royal court is also responsible. Today's affairs, Erchen is willing to bear it with Yu. Xun Qi said beside him.

"Since Zuo Qiu Yu has admitted his dereliction of duty, his father might as well fulfill him and set an example. Mushroom said with a hint of schadenfreude.

"I didn't have time to ask you, how did you find this Nandong who can perform tricks?"

"As long as you can make your father happy, what is it for your son to make some effort to find a trickster. "The mushroom said to himself to please the emperor.

"Do you know the details of him, what if he rushed over today not to save me, but to assassinate me?"

"If it's really as my father said, my son's son will protect my father's safety even if I don't want my own life!" After saying this, Lai Rong thought of what she did today when she was stunned in place, and couldn't help but look at the emperor's expression and said in a sneer, "In the future, Erchen will be more cautious and not let this possibility happen...... Erchen immediately sent someone to investigate the origin of Nandong, and then returned to his father. ”

When the emperor heard this, he waved his hand, and the mushroom retreated first. The atmosphere was solemn for a moment, and Emperor Xian said to Zuo Qiu Yu again:

"Give you a day, come and tell me tomorrow evening if this is your negligence or if someone else did it on purpose. I'll hear about it, and then I'll decide what to do with it. ”

Zuo Qiu Yu took the order. ”

"Thank you for your unpunishedness. Xun Qi said, "Today is shocked, my father also needs to recuperate, and my son will send my father back to the account." ”

"No, I'm going to walk alone. ”

"Yes. The minister retired first. ”

Yu retired. Zuo Qiu Yu and Xun Qi glanced at each other, the two turned around side by side, and walked to the front of the stage, Zuo Qiu Yu raised his voice again, "Everyone present has gone back to their own residences, don't go out tonight, tomorrow Xiao Wang and the five princes will come to you for questioning." ”

When everyone dispersed, the emperor commanded softly:

"Set up the big tent of the three princes. ”

After Zuo Qiu Yu and Xun Qi walked for a while, they suddenly stopped and said in a deep voice:

"You can't just go that way. There are many dreams at night, and one night is enough time for someone with a heart to destroy traces. ”

"But you can't stay overnight. I'll help you watch around the stage tonight and won't let anyone get close. ”

"Do you think this has anything to do with Mushroom?"

"When the tent fell, I was looking intently at the stage, and I didn't pay attention to the look on the hairy face, which I can't say. ”

"What about the relationship between the mushroom and Mr. Nan? Mr. Nan is the one that the mushroom has come to perform for the emperor. How could it be so coincidental, it was also him who rushed forward to escort him. ”

Mr. Nan was facing his father, and he immediately found that his father was in danger, and then the third brother turned his head and saw it, and it seemed logical for the two of them to come forward to save the driver. Xun Qi paused, and then said, "Do you suspect that Mushroom and Nandong are colluding to act in this play?"

"If that's the case, it should be a good time for Mushroom to show herself, not the way it is. Zuo Qiuyu shook his head and said, "I just feel that something is wrong, and I can't tell what the reason is." ”

"Your worries are not unreasonable, after all, he is a native of the Night Kingdom, why would he try so hard to protect his father. Xun Qi looked directly at Zuo Qiu Yu, and then said, "Now that Mushroom is investigating the background of Nandong on the orders of his father, he alone has the final say. ”

"So tonight I have to find out the details of this Nandong to know in my heart. I'll come to you tomorrow morning after dawn and meet you on the stage. ”

"Well, that's it. ”
