On a certain occasion, although there are not many such times, Chu Xianzhao still likes to be alone, and he also eats at the same table with the familiar people around him, sits with many courtiers, watching them laugh with each other, and pour wine into his wine glass one after another, he suddenly finds himself on such an occasion.

At night, the cool breeze garden is lit with a yarn lamp, a crescent moon in the pond is broken by falling flowers, the laughter of the palace maids and eunuchs gradually gets louder, and there are pepper and vinegar shrimp, roast goose, sheep's head and hooves, and goose meat on the table, all of which are some very ordinary dishes, but His Majesty the Emperor is very happy, today is the sixteenth birthday of the third prince, and this birthday banquet was specially prepared for him out of the love of father and son.

The emperor did not inform the location of the banquet, but only told a few of his cronies and children, but some of the ministers, in order to please the emperor and the prince, not only inquired about the location of the banquet, but even prepared rare treasures at the banquet, ready to present to the emperor at the banquet.

"The ministers of the Privy Council see His Majesty the Emperor, may His Royal Highness the Third Prince be as blessed as the East China Sea, and live longer than the heavens!" A row of ministers outside the court knelt down respectfully, even if the bluestone slab hurt their knees, they didn't care.

"Calm down, lovers. Yinhuang Chu Xiaohua said helplessly.

Chu Xianzhao lowered his head and drank the soup in the bowl, looking at the jade, gold carvings, and jewels in front of him, there were too many to count, and someone even sent a mountain carved with jade, and on the top of the mountain there was a Pixiu carved with a pure gold seal, which was not majestic.

However, this move made His Majesty the Emperor extremely unhappy, and he taught these officials to be diligent and thrifty countless times on weekdays, and he hated those extravagant and wasteful behaviors.

However, the two tomes sent by Zuo Taifu made His Majesty the Emperor feel a little relieved, one is the emperor's must-read book "Qunshu Zhiyao", and the other is "Nine Princes" It is said that there are only three copies of this ancient book in the entire Yin Kingdom, and the other two are also copied by Zuo Taifu himself, which can be described as priceless treasures, but it is obvious that Chu Xianzhao has no interest in these two things.

"This is the history that took place in the pre-Xia period, narrating the heroic deeds of the nine kings of the world, and of course, their absurd pasts, Your Royal Highness the Third Prince, I hope these two books can be of some benefit to you. Mrs. Zuo said with that old face that had no smile all year round.

"Taifu Xie!" Chu Xianzhao took the two ancient books that could be stacked to resist ten thousand arrows, thinking about the appearance of Taifu Zuo holding a ring ruler on weekdays.

His Majesty the Emperor waved his hand, and the maids wearing brocade robes and small sleeves passed by the civil officials, their little feet stepped on the long and soft wool blanket, and held the rose dew in a white porcelain bottle, the wine was red in color, with a strong aroma of wine, "rose dew" wine is the imperial wine of the Imperial Treasury for the royal family to drink, and it is occasionally given to individual ministers, except for the emperor and the princes, so very few people can drink it.

It is said that Li Linzhi wrote a poem "The Emperor's Wine" to commemorate "You don't see the red syrup in the white jade pot, and a cup of ice and snow enemies in autumn." Only the name of the crown 10,000 money kitchen, this method is wonderful in the world. I don't see the nine-fold spring rose dew, and the king drinks the golden mother. The taste of Han pepper cinnamon shines on the spring, and the royal side is passed down to the world. I have always been a guest of Kinmen, and I do not pretend to brew flowers and soak the core. Every day the court is given to the honor, and the emperor is divided. ”

"What about the eldest brother and the second sister?" Chu Xianzhao tilted his head to look at the eldest princess and said in a low voice.

"I asked Smokesmoke to find Xiao Yang. The eldest princess said glutinously, with a smile in her eyes.

A slender figure blocked Chu Xianzhao's sight, Chu Xianzhao looked at the woman in Tsing Yi in front of him in a daze, she has always treated people without makeup, and today is no exception, Qianqian's fine hand held a white wine porcelain bottle, making it impossible to distinguish the interval between the wine bottle and the plain hand for a while, and the red wine liquid fell into the wine glass of the third prince along a thin line.

Different from ordinary maids, a white silk tie around Qianqian's slender waist, the green clothes on it are close to the body and capable, outlining the soft lines of the girl, the long hair that is as black as the night is tied with dark green jade exquisite, when the breeze blows through the tips of the hair, you will hear the sound of "bell bell bell", she raised her small head and said: "Disturb the conversation between His Royal Highness the prince and the eldest princess." ”

"Sister young slave, sit down, I don't need you to serve me tonight. Chu Xianzhao patted the cushion beside him and motioned for her to sit beside him,

The girl shook her head and left silently with the wine bottle in her hand, Chu Xianzhao looked at her departing back, thoughtful.

The woman in front of her, known as a young slave, was originally named Su Changyan, and she was Her Royal Highness the princess of the Xilin Kingdom.

Twelve years ago, the king of the kingdom of the West claimed to have received a revelation from heaven in a dream, and since then, he has begun to summon swordsmiths from all over the world and ask them to make swords, longbows and other weapons for them, and they have spent five years forging hundreds of thousands of refined weapons and armor, many of which are famous swords.

Tong forced countless people in the west to cut down trees and mine for them, and for a time hundreds of people were ruined and the people were in dire straits, but the brutal king of the west after they completed the task for them, threw countless swordsmiths into molten iron, claiming that the secret of the revelation was only known to the people of the royal family of the west.

The move of the king of Xilin was finally spurned by the world, and the whole world was attacked, but there was no shortage of emperors who wanted to swallow this treasure alone, when Chu Xiaohua made a quick decision and led 300,000 ironclad troops to invade the territory of the Xilin country, and the mountains and rivers were broken for a while, and the king of Xilin hiding in the palace was finally captured by him himself.

Chu Xiaohua asked the king of Xilin to hand over the hiding place of the weapon, and the king of Xilin laughed loudly and said: "In the past seventeen years, I have been working hard for the civil service, conscientious, and have never had hope, the king is like an ant, as for the apocalypse, I have been ordered by heaven, and I have countless weapons to prepare for the war, I am the king of kings, and I dare to make the heavenly prince convinced!"

"Crazy!" After Chu Xiaohua spit out these two words fiercely, under the witness of countless people of Yinguo and Xilin refugees, after the execution of the "Dapi" punishment for the king of Xilin, his heart was dug out by the soldiers and thrown into the fire, and his body was directly thrown into the rivers and seas, allowing his fish and shrimp to gnaw, and he died without a place to be buried.

Chu Xiaohua was afraid that the king of Xilin would spend five years summoning the armed forces created by countless swordsmiths in the world to fall into the hands of evil people, and arm an army far more powerful than the ironclad army of the Yin Kingdom, and then the world would face the situation of "a world of collapse".

After burying Queen Xilin, Chu Xiaohua took in the eldest son and youngest daughter of King Xilin, the eldest son Su Changqing was given the surname Wei Yin, and the second daughter Su Changyan was named Young Slave

Su Changqing, who was the prince in the past, has now become Chu Yingyang's personal guard, and the princess Su Changyan has become Chu Xianzhao's maid, which can be described as sighing, some people once speculated that the reason why Chu Xiaohua took them in was because the king of Xilin handed over the key to the Xilin treasure house to their brothers and sisters, but with the fall of Xilin, all kinds of speculations turned into dust and drifted away with the wind.

"The wine made of roses is as mellow as the first time the emperor rewarded the old slave. Mrs. Zuo put down the cup in his hand, and his sallow old face flushed with a hint of red.

His Majesty the Emperor laughed, and refilled a full glass of wine to Zuo Taifu, and the two of them clinked glasses, so uncomfortable.

Tonight, even the eldest princess, who usually doesn't drink a drop of wine, drank two glasses, peach blossoms appeared next to her slightly round cheeks, and her deer-like eyes flashed a little deeper, Chu Xianzhao whistled at the sky, and a falcon flew down from the plane tree, and stopped steadily on his shoulder.

Chu Xianzhao stretched out his hand and gently stroked its cloud-like wings, this kind of falcon in front of him was specially sent to Yinguo from Mengzhou by His Majesty the Emperor, this rare falcon generally exists in the ice sea in the north of Mengzhou, so it is extremely difficult to catch, in the eyes of all countries in the world, domesticating falcons is a symbol of power, even some wealthy businessmen do not have such power.

Chu Xianzhao named it "Heizi" because its eyes were as black as ink, and even Chu Xianzhao would feel dizzy when looking at it for a long time.

His Majesty the Emperor sent a convoy of thirty people to the Golden Horde in order to get a falcon, but on the way back, he was attacked by horse thieves, and only twelve people survived.

"Good, don't scream. Chu Longque threw a peanut into the air, the falcon pecked at the peanut like a snake, and the eldest princess stretched out her hand to the falcon to touch this strange thing, but the next second she was stared at by the abyss-like pupils of the falcon, which made her tremble with fright.

"Auntie, Kuroko is very afraid of the living. Chu Longque smiled.

"Third brother!" I only heard the sound of horses' hooves, the eldest prince rode his horse slowly, the jade lion under his crotch let out a heavy gasping sound, followed by a man in military uniform, the man's face was like a crown of jade, his long hair was shawl, and a thick ghost-headed knife was tied around his waist, the man tightened the reins, looked at the courtyard and hugged his fists and said: "The subordinates are late to escort the eldest prince, please atone for your majesty!"

"Excuse me. The emperor smiled and groaned, the third prince turned over and dismounted, hugged the second princess who was holding her head down and didn't dare to make a sound, and put it on the bluestone slab, the princess stared at him viciously, and turned her head to look at the emperor: "Father, forgive us for being late." ”

"You all sit down next to me, Wei Yin, and so do you. The Emperor looked at the man who was tying the reins of his horse.

"Third brother, look at what brother has brought you. The eldest prince walked in front of the three princes, took out a brocade bag embroidered with gold thread from the close-fitting silk seam, and slowly pushed it in front of the three princes.

The third prince untied the entangled gold thread inside, and poured out a crystal clear ice pale green jade seal, Chu Xianzhao played with the piece of jade, the tentacles were cold, and the middle of the jade seal was carved with an eagle that had been flying high, and in the beak of the eagle, there was a ruby as red as blood.

Chu Xianzhao could see the eyes of the falcon on his shoulder reflected on the jade, which was extremely clear: "Big brother sent me such a precious thing, how can my brother thank you?"

"A gentleman is as virtuous as jade, a good jade gentleman, this piece of jade was found by the eldest brother for you with a lot of effort, you are so good to collect. ”

The eldest prince slapped his younger brother on the shoulder hard, and the second princess glared at him silently.

Originally, the prince wanted to send a pair of words to the third prince, and the jade seal in the hands of the third prince was the eldest prince after finding that the calligraphy was wet with water, and hurriedly looked for something that could be used as a gift in the house, and finally found this dusty jade seal in the pink peach porcelain on the desk, and finally hurriedly washed it with water and sent it to the third prince as a gift.
