The dinner, the dinner in the palace, the people who feasted were not ordinary people. [Full text reading. 】

Many officials have memorized Bagu texts since childhood, and the dog P articles are exquisitely written, and they have worked hard for many years to produce an official who is still quite powerful, but they have not necessarily seen the emperor.

A few second-class products, a few first-class products, only so few officials can attend the emperor's dinner. This can be regarded as giving Chen Ziyuan enough pomp, this is a prince with a different surname, and in history, there is no such a big pomp and circumstance for the prince.

The emperor walked from his bedroom to the place where the dinner party was, first, not far away, and second, to buy people's hearts. Behind him, he was followed by the newly sealed Concubine Yue and a group of eunuchs, waiting for the emperor to move forward.

A short time later, a group of people walked to the dinner party. A eunuch had already come in to report the news of the emperor's arrival, and a group of people knelt down in their robes and shouted:

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

Chen Ziyuan is also in this group of people, following etiquette, he can't sit here first, he has to wait for the emperor to come and sit down.

The emperor came in, and the concubine and the queen sat down separately. Only then did he say: "Zhongqing is flat." ”

"Thank you, Lord Longne!"

After another kind word, everyone got up. When the emperor sat down, they all sat down.

Chen Ziyuan sat in the seat of a first-class guest, very close to the emperor. The emperor picked up a glass of wine and looked at Chen Ziyuan with his eyes.

Chen Ziyuan hurriedly got up and picked up his wine in his hand.

"Don't be so restrained, Brother Xian, today is a family feast. In addition to you, there are also my dearest ministers, and when we eat together, we will avoid the old etiquette and eat in peace. The emperor smiled.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Chen Ziyuan held the wine glass in both hands, bowed and thanked him.

Looking up again, Chen Ziyuan was stunned.

He saw a person sitting beside the emperor, a charming woman.

When Chen Ziyuan saw her, he chuckled in his heart. I never thought I would see her here. The last time the two met, it was in Chen Ziyuan's mansion. She was next to Ling Li, a quiet, somewhat timid subordinate.

"Yuechan, Yuechan, it's hard to be successful, it's really you" Chen Ziyuan thought in his heart.

The emperor laughed and motioned for Chen Ziyuan to drink the wine. Chen Ziyuan raised his wine glass and took a shallow sip.

"Come on, everyone eats, and there is no need to be restrained. Today, we have no distinction between kings and ministers, we are all gathered with family and friends. The emperor smiled again.

A voice of thanksgiving to the Lord Longen, everyone began to eat. There are eunuchs in the back to maintain, and a bunch of dancing girls come in, the guzheng sounds, and the banquet dances.

Although the dance is beautiful, Chen Ziyuan's mind is not on these dancers at all. His eyes were always looking at the food, and the afterglow was always on Concubine Yue's body.

"Shouldn't she have died a long time ago?"

Chen Ziyuan thought that three years ago, he left an ambush here, asking everyone to look for Ling Li and Yuechan, who were hidden by Liang Xue. At that time, he handed over everything to Gao Lin, and Gao Lin said that the two should all be dead. Why is she here at this moment, and she has become the emperor's favorite concubine?

Thinking about it, Chen Ziyuan was stunned. The concubine on the side was also up and down in her heart.

She is Yuechan, and after experiencing many things, she became the emperor's concubine. In the entire capital, only Chen Ziyuan can recognize her. never expected that Chen Ziyuan would be summoned back at this time. If he really said something about himself, the emperor would inevitably be suspicious.

The two exchanged glances back and forth a few times, and the emperor was there, and the two didn't dare to look at it more. If the emperor finds out that the prince and his concubine are eyebrows, this sin will be even greater.

After the dinner was hastily eaten, the emperor also said a lot of reassuring words at the dinner to praise Chen Ziyuan. Tomorrow, Chen Ziyuan will set off for Fujian. He stayed in the northernmost place for three years, and suddenly came back in a hurry. After spending the night in the capital, I have to go to the south. After I went, I had a heavy responsibility. Don't say anything else, just the pain of sleeping in the open air, if the emperor doesn't say anything, it's a little unreasonable.

The ministers dispersed, but Chen Ziyuan was the only one who retreated.

"Virtuous brother, virtuous brother!" The emperor stopped Chen Ziyuan.

Chen Ziyuan hurriedly stood up and said, "What does the emperor command?" ”

"Don't be like this, don't be like that. Let's have a good chat. "The emperor's speech was a little indistinct, he had drunk a lot at the dinner just now, and he was a little drunk.

The emperor gestured and glanced again, and most of the eunuchs retreated. The emperor muttered a few more words, and asked everyone to wait for the queen and Concubine Yue to go back, and he wanted to walk with Chen Ziyuan in the back garden.

Although it seems that there are only two people leaving, there are still many people around the emperor. It's just that he didn't dare to disturb the emperor's Yaxing, and he has been following the emperor carefully.

It was late at night and the breeze was blowing. The back garden is the most beautiful time in summer, when thousands of flowers are in full bloom and the fragrance of flowers is overflowing.

"Brother Xian, is this floral fragrance intoxicating?" The emperor laughed.

"The floral fragrance is so beautiful, wonderful, wonderful." Chen Ziyuan said with a smile.

"But no matter how fragrant my back garden is, the world is not peaceful. Three years ago, there was a big chaos at the border gates, and ordinary people went, and I really couldn't let go. We had something else going on at that time, and I could use that as an excuse for you to go. It's a lot more stable now than it was then, and these are all the credit of the virtuous brother. However, when there is no peace in this world, the north is just right, and the south is chaotic. What happened recently in Fujian, I guess Brother Xian knows about it. If I really can't help it, how can I have to ask my brother to come back! ”

The emperor sighed for a long time, but Chen Ziyuan listened from the sidelines and did not answer.

He suddenly felt that the emperor was a little pitiful, although there was no other tone in his words, he was begging himself. The emperor explained all this in order to make Chen Ziyuan less unhappy.

"Your Majesty, below, may filial piety be the work of dogs and horses!" Chen Ziyuan's answer was resounding.

The emperor smiled and said, "With a virtuous brother, my Tang dynasty can be stable." Brother Xian, you are not too young. I don't know, have you ever thought about marrying someone you like again? ”

Chen Ziyuan didn't expect the emperor to mention such a thing, and he was speechless for a while.

The emperor laughed again, completely lost his usual demeanor, and said: "Brother Xian, in fact, at that banquet, I saw you and Concubine Yue eyebrows, you are the crime of bullying the king!" ”

Chen Ziyuan hurriedly knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, the minister has nothing to think about!" ”

The emperor looked at Chen Ziyuan who was kneeling on the ground with drunken eyes, and his face was full of playfulness.

"That's one of my favorite concubines, but if Brother Xian likes it, I don't want to make Brother Xian unhappy. All these years of hard work, a woman, can not represent anything. You, wronged. ”

After saying this, Chen Ziyuan understood most of it.

The emperor was not angry, he wanted to reward Concubine Yue to himself.
