Chapter 113
When the emperor announced the start of the birthday banquet, the palace inside and outside were solemn, and soon heard the palace music officials follow the song of a hundred birds, only to hear the sound of harmony in the air, just like the Luan Feng Xiang set, wonderful.
After the music stopped, Emperor Zhengde stood up, holding a glass of wine in his hand, drinking with the ministers, and then the second cup of the emperor and queen to drink, the third cup, to the foreign envoys, followed by drinking with the princes, from time to time with the close ministers to drink, for a time staggered, the hall sang and danced again, the guests of honor were harmonious.
After three rounds of wine, when the banquet atmosphere was in full swing, Emperor Zhengde suddenly clapped his hands, and when the music in the hall stopped, Zhang Jie, the chief eunuch, brought the holy decree.
Everyone in the hall looked at it, and they knew that the highlight of today's banquet was coming, first a holy decree of the Nine Emperor Prince Xiao Lingchao as the king of Jingjun, and then a holy decree for marriage, and two holy decrees for marriage, respectively, the three princes of Xiliang Kingdom and Princess Nalin were married, and the daughter of King Zeping was named Princess Lening, and the three princes of Xiliang Kingdom were married as concubines.
After the eunuch finished reading the holy decree, the Nine Emperor Princes, the Lord of Lening, the Three Princes and the Princess of Xiliang Kingdom all attended the ceremony to bow down and thank you.
Hearing the candidate for marriage in this holy decree, everyone was really stunned, they all felt that this result was beyond their expectations, they didn't expect that it would be the daughter of King Ping who would be selected as the third princess of Xiliang Kingdom, after all, Princess Ping is still there, for the sake of Princess Ping's face, how could the emperor not let the granddaughter of Princess Ping go to kiss, and everyone never thought that the emperor would brush them again, and would choose the daughter of King Ping to be the princess and let her kiss. And the marriage of the Nine Emperor Princes and the princess of Xiliang Kingdom, it is not surprising, when they were in the martial arts school last time, when they saw the performance of the Nine Emperor Princes, they vaguely knew that there would be a foreign princess among the princes.
Everyone calmly accepted the order and sat back in their seats.
After the marriage decree was given, the atmosphere of the banquet also reached its highest point, but everyone's hearts were no longer calm.
King Xian and King Ning were both a little incredulous, Princess Xian was also a little stunned, and couldn't help but look at Qi Guifei, Qi Guifei's face was a little stiff, and she sat there half-covering her face with a palace fan to hide her face.
King Xian and others all hoped that the three girls of the Wuchang Mansion would be chosen by this and their relatives, and King Xian also entered the palace to pass Qi Guifei through Qi Guifei for this reason, and asked her to blow the emperor's pillow wind, and at the same time, King Xian also personally persuaded the Duke of Wuchang, but who knew that this was the result.
Qi Guifei pursed her lips, and out of the corner of her eye, she saw the eyes handed over by the queen, although she was calm, she revealed a little disdain, and she felt uncomfortable for a while. She did find an opportunity to tell the emperor about this, and also praised the three girls of the Wuchang Mansion, and analyzed that the three girls of the Wuchang Mansion had an innocent temperament, which was exactly the type that the Queen Mother liked, and she was a suitable candidate. But who knew that the most popular choice with relatives would be the daughter of King Ping, how could the concubine agree?
Thinking about it like this, I couldn't help but look at the concubine, but found that she was very calm, as if it was not her granddaughter who wanted to kiss her.
Compared to their disbelief, some people in the temple were relieved.
Gu Xinyu, who followed her parents into the palace to celebrate her birthday, finally breathed a sigh of relief, since she heard that her father agreed to King Xian's proposal to let her go to kiss, it made her feel that the sky was about to fall, she had not eaten well or slept well in recent days, and the whole person was emaciated.
After thinking about it, she secretly looked somewhere in the hall, and when she saw the man's side face from a distance, her heartbeat began to speed up again, and she couldn't help biting her lip and lowering her gaze.
On the side of King Ping's seat, Princess Lening, who had just been named a princess, came back, and when she passed by her brother's seat, she whispered, "Are you proud now?" Then he silently sat down to the position of his mother's head, calm to the point of expressionlessness, only Princess Ping was smiling strongly, and her resentful gaze turned to the side of Prince Ping.
When Prince Ping heard his sister's whisper when she came back, her eyes were a little confused, and when she looked up at her reflexively, she happened to see the resentful gaze cast by Princess Ping, and when she found that the person she was glaring at was Jiang Lingwei beside her, she suddenly exploded, and then was pressed on his thigh by a soft and smooth hand, and his body immediately softened most of the time, and his anger disappeared all at once.
When he turned his head, he saw a side face as white and tender as jade, so beautiful that he was suffocated.
"Ignore her, sit down!"
"That's right!" King Ping said honestly, and hurriedly brought over a plate of fruits on the table and peeled the fruit for her.
Jiang Lingwei maintained a decent smile on her face, and naturally understood the meaning of Princess Le Ning's words, I am afraid that their mother and daughter thought that Le Ning would be chosen by her relatives It was a small move by her, but unfortunately this time it was none of her business, it was decided by the concubine and King Ping after discussion. Although she knew the truth in advance, she just didn't say anything, but she didn't expect that the mother and daughter would think that she was the concubine who asked Le Ning to go and kiss.
Thinking about it, she was a little contemptuous in her heart, even if she hated what Princess Ping did, she wouldn't want to pit a sister-in-law who would marry in the future, she felt that it was not necessary.
After the marriage, the next step is to give gifts to everyone.
When it was the turn of the prince of Southern Qi to present a gift, because the eldest grandson Hong's legs and feet were not good, Emperor Zhengde allowed him not to come to the main hall, and only asked General Qin to present the congratulatory gift of Southern Qi. And Emperor Zhengde's move, although it was compassionate, reminded everyone all the time that the prince of Nanqi was injured, and sure enough, everyone present couldn't help but glance at the prince of Nanqi.
Eldest Sun Hong sneered in his heart, thanked Emperor Daye for his compassion, and then glanced at Xiao Lingshu in the prince's seat, and suddenly said: "Before coming to Beijing that day, the father of the lonely emperor had said to Gu Dao, he missed Princess Nanyao who came to Daye in disguise thirty years ago, but later heard that Princess Nanyao disappeared in Beijing, and it happened to be ...... at that time."
Everyone present originally didn't know what Changsun Hong meant, but when they heard that Changsun Hong told the exact time of Princess Nan Yao's disappearance, many people in the hall jumped and had a faint premonition, especially when they found that Changsun Hong's eyes frequently glanced at the prince's seat, they couldn't help but feel numb in their scalps.
The eldest grandson Hong looked straight at Emperor Zhengde, and said, "I heard that the day when the eldest grandson and concubine entered the palace......
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!" General Qin suddenly spoke up, and said with a blue face: "You are drunk!" ”
General Qin's shout sounded, and everyone in the hall couldn't help but bow their heads, but Emperor Zhengde looked indifferent and looked at him expressionlessly.
Changsun Hong was a little proud, slowly glanced at the people in the hall, but did not entangle any more, and followed General Qin's words and said, "Lone is indeed drunk. ”
There was silence in the hall.
Just as the silence weighed on everyone's hearts, suddenly a sneer rang out, which was extremely harsh in the quiet hall. Everyone looked up, followed the prestige, and just saw the eldest grandson of the Qi Dynasty smiling, seeing him like this, for some reason, everyone in the hall felt relieved, and felt that this bear was really cute today.
Immediately, I heard King Qi say: "The eldest grandson's words are really ridiculous, your princess of Nanqi is gone, what does it matter to us?" And what did you do with the eldest concubine? The eldest grandson concubine is the daughter of the eldest grandson family in the capital, what does it have to do with your Southern Qi? Could it be that the people in the world with the surname of Changsun are all members of your royal family in Southern Qi? Your emperor of Nanqi can't stand a princess, so he wants to recognize one indiscriminately? Hey, even if you want to sow discord, find a better excuse, this is unfounded, it's just that you are saying it yourself, you don't look down on my fifth brother's excellent and capable, and want to recognize him, right? I knew that my fifth brother was capable, but I didn't expect that he would be so capable that you Nanqi would want to come to the relationship. Forget it, how can our prince of Daye have anything to do with you? It's not right to confess indiscriminately, while it's not dark yet, it's better for the eldest grandson prince not to dream casually, and go back to wash and sleep when you're drunk......"
Everyone held back their laughter, listened to King Qi's nonsense, and then looked at King Jin, who was innocently involved, his face did not change, as if he hadn't heard the words of the people in the palace, and he was bowing his head to peel fruit for the little doll who didn't know when he climbed to his lap. Look at the little doll again, the lips are red and the teeth are white, and she stretches out her chubby little paws to take the fruit that her father has peeled, and then raises her little hand to feed him, but unfortunately the man obviously does not want to eat the fruit that he has caught.
Emperor Zhengde also looked over and found that the little guy sitting in Xiao Lingshu's arms had a soft look, and then looked at the prince of Nanqi with a rather sharp gaze. Changsun Hong said such specious words, but he just wanted people to question Xiao Lingshu's identity, hit him, and disgust Emperor Zhengde by the way. Anyway, Xiao Lingshu is a royal bloodline, even if the ministers suspect the identity of the eldest grandson and concubine, they don't dare to say anything, no one else said anything, do you dare to say it? And if everyone is dead, and there is no proof of death, it is natural that what the living say is what it is.
The prince of Nanqi is a stupid one.
This is everyone's opinion of Changsun Hong now, after the soft egg prince, there is another nickname, the stupid prince.
Others also found that Emperor Zhengde's eyes were extremely soft, but they misunderstood the object of Emperor Zhengde's eyes, and thought that the emperor was defending King Jin, so they didn't dare to think about it at the moment.
Later, this matter was exposed by General Qin on the grounds that "their prince was drunk and talking nonsense", but it is unknown what everyone thinks.
Because of this incident, the atmosphere was destroyed a lot, and the next thing was also a general procedure, but because of Emperor Zhengde, everyone made a festive appearance until the banquet dispersed.
Walking out of this section of the palace gate, Ah Bao vaguely found a lot of obscure sight, although the previous Changsun Hong's words were disgusting, but it still made everyone inevitably not conjecture, this is like those groundless rumors, maybe everyone knows that the Tao may not be true, but when they meet the main owner of the rumors, they can't help but take a few more looks.
Ah Bao ignored it as much as possible, and Xiao Lingshu didn't pay attention to it from beginning to end, which made Ah Bao can't help but feel a sense of admiration and rejoice in his open-mindedness.
Before he reached the palace gate, he saw a eunuch trotting over, and after saluting Xiao Lingshu, he said with a smile: "His Royal Highness the King of Jin, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince invites you and Princess Jin to go to the East Palace." ”
At this time, everyone also saw that the eunuch who came to invite King Jin was the eunuch next to the prince, and immediately understood that the prince asked King Jin and his wife to go to the East Palace, just to show his attitude, and to tell them in front of everyone that his trust in King Jin was as good as before, and he would never change because of Changsun Hong's nonsense.
"Brother Prince's brother only called the fifth brother, didn't he call this king? Could it be that the prince's brother treats his younger brother like this? King Qi's voice sounded.
The eunuch immediately laughed and said, "His Royal Highness the King of Qi said that if you want to find His Royal Highness the Prince, you can go to the East Palace at any time!" If His Royal Highness is not busy, he can also go to the East Palace with His Royal Highness the King of Jin and the princess, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has already asked people to prepare a sobering soup. ”
Hearing this, how did everyone not know that this eunuch was satirizing the prince of Nanqi for being "drunk", the longevity banquet was so grand, even if it was drinking, it was a shallow taste, for fear that one would accidentally drink high and lose his honor in front of the emperor. So the decanter soup is just an excuse.
Under the attention of everyone, the family of King Jin and the husband and wife of King Qi went directly to the East Palace.
King Xian and the others, who were walking in front, naturally also saw the whole process, and silently watched as they left with their wives and children.
After King Xian got into the carriage, he said to Princess Xian in a deep voice, "What's going on? Didn't my father-in-law say that he would be willing to share his father's worries? ”
Compared with the irritability in King Xian's heart, after Princess Xian accepted this, she didn't have any special feelings, and her heart was very calm, and she said: "The concubine doesn't know, I'm afraid I have to ask my mother and my father about this matter." Or was this agreed by the concubine herself? Princess Xian pondered for a while, "Isn't it the princess of King Ping?" ”
It's no wonder that she thinks of Jiang Lingwei, her feelings about Jiang Lingwei are extremely complicated, not to mention that she and Jiang Lingwei have swapped husbands in this life, just the mental means shown by Jiang Lingwei make her sigh to herself. Perhaps, how a person is doing is not related to her identity, but to her character. Jiang Lingwei in the previous life was the queen of the Mandate of Heaven, and in this life, Jiang Lingwei married the prince of King Ping, and is no longer the queen of the Mandate of Heaven, but she can still turn bad chess into good chess, which makes her have to admire, and even faintly envy.
Therefore, if anyone can have the ability to make Princess Ping change her mind and promise to let her granddaughter go to kiss, then it must be Jiang Lingwei. And what makes her have such a guess is that she knows the personality of Princess Ping, after Jiang Lingwei marries into the Ping Mansion, Princess Ping will definitely make a move, the relationship between Princess Ping's mother and daughter and Jiang Lingwei is not good, until now, the Ping Mansion is still in Jiang Lingwei's housekeeper, Princess Ping is just a decoration, and Jiang Lingwei is really terrible to be able to do this. Princess Lening's personality is really not good, and it is estimated that she has a lot of opponents with Jiang Lingwei, and it is reasonable for Jiang Lingwei to deal with her.
After her analysis, King Xian also remembered the incompatibility between the princess of King Ping and the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law of Princess Ping, and Princess Ping preferred her daughter-in-law the most, which is a matter that everyone in Beijing knows......
King Xian frowned, and slowly touched his fingers, thinking about the possibility of pulling the prince of the king of Langping. Although King Ping is a little lascivious, he is only loyal to the emperor, no prince is touched, and he keeps a certain distance from the prince.
Princess Xian hugged her sleepy son, adjusted her sleeping position for him, looked at the man who was thinking, and felt a sense of discomfort in her heart.
If it's not your own, you can't force it. And when she was about to give up, she found that this man's ambition hidden under the gentle appearance was unwilling to give up, and she became more and more obsessed with that person.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, why did you say that kind of thing in front of the civil and military officials of Daye?"
After returning to the State Guest Inn, General Qin was a little angry, and wanted to ask what this stupid prince was thinking, even if he wanted to disgust Emperor Daye, how could he do such a thing that hurt the enemy by a thousand and hurt himself by eight hundred? Isn't this even their Nanqi disgusting? Who doesn't know that the Changsun clan and the Xiao clan were a little broken a hundred years ago?
"What do you have to question Lonely?" Eldest Sun Hong snorted and glanced at him with disdain, "King Jin doesn't know how to lift, and he wants to destroy him, what is your opinion?" ”
General Qin looked at him in surprise, and said for a while: "King Jin is not easy to deal with, I hope His Highness will think twice." "Is it because you want to ruin the King of Jin and take advantage of the reputation of Nanqi? General Qin didn't even dare to imagine that their princess of Nanqi would come to Daye to be a concubine for Emperor Daye, doesn't this mean that the eldest prince of Nanqi doesn't love himself, and he wants to be a concubine for the enemy incognito? It's disgusting, is Nanqi good?!
Eldest Sun Hong didn't know about General Qin's slander, and said, "You say, how many people will question the identity of King Jin this time?" ”
No matter how many people there are, as long as Emperor Daye denies this matter, it will have no impact on King Jin, and it will be in vain. General Qin smiled coldly in his heart, feeling that his choice was right, such a stupid prince would definitely let himself die stupidly.
Then, General Qin found that the stupid prince could do even more stupid things, because he wanted to use the spies buried in Daye by Nanqi to get rid of the king of Jin.
"Why do you have to get rid of King Jin? It doesn't hurt to keep him. General Qin said that he would rather that the prince wanted to get rid of Emperor Daye and the crown prince, so that he would think that he was a little stupid, and he had a lofty goal, which was a shining point.
"Naturally, it was his identity that insulted the eldest grandson, and it is not a pity to die." The eldest grandson Hong said it soundingly, but what he thought about was the insult that the King of Jin had insulted him, and in his heart, he had fallen off the horse and injured the man-root, all of which were done by the King of Jin. Without evidence, men's occasional sixth sense is also very effective.
General Qin stopped talking for a while, and there was only one thought in his heart, he complained that the emperor wanted to give up the prince, I am afraid that the prince's trip was arranged by the emperor, and perhaps the prince would die unexpectedly in Daye, and then he could negotiate war with Daye......
When I thought about it like this, my heart suddenly sank.
*******
In the Wuchang Mansion, Gu Xinyu knelt on her mother's lap and said in a muffled voice: "Mother, you will fulfill your daughter, your daughter really likes ......"
"No, my daughter can't be a concubine! Even if she is a prince's concubine, how is it different from a concubine? ”
"My daughter just likes him, even if it's a concubine, she's willing."
"Idiot!" Duchess Wuchang was so angry that she pushed her away, "If you want to be a concubine, don't recognize me as a mother!" ”
"Mother!" When did Gu Xinyu see her mother's stern appearance, she was so frightened that tears flashed in her eyes, and she cried at the moment: "Can't my mother pity her daughter once?" Before, you told your father to let your daughter go to kiss, and her daughter was so sad that she died, but she still agreed, and now that your daughter doesn't have to kiss, can't you follow your daughter's wishes? ”
Duchess Wuchang listened to it in her heart, and she was also distressed about the previous persecution of her daughter, and she was indeed relieved when she heard that her daughter did not have to go to kiss. Originally, she didn't agree with her husband's decision, but her husband insisted on following King Xian all the way to the dark, and she couldn't help it. So after hearing that her daughter didn't have to go to kiss, she was already thinking about how to make up for her daughter and find her a husband who was both civil and military so that she could live a peaceful and happy life, but she didn't expect her to be still reluctant to King Jin.
Looking at her emaciated appearance, Duchess Wuchang's heart softened, but when she thought of King Jin's methods back then, her back was cold.
"Mother......
Duchess Wuchang had a headache, waved her hand, and said, "I won't let my daughter be a concubine, this matter will not be mentioned again, you should go and rest." ”
Gu Xinyu's eyes were full of tears, and when she saw her mother's face was frosty, she could only stomp her feet and hide her face and leave.
Duchess Wuchang looked at her daughter leaving, and then couldn't help but smile bitterly, concubines are not so easy to do, does this stupid girl think that love can trump everything? It's okay if this stupid daughter has a crush on other men with families, but it's the King of Jin, and Princess Jin has the reputation of such a "fierce woman", so it's not easy to mess with.

When I came back from the palace, it was already the time of Shen.
The two children didn't have to take a nap today, and now they all fell into the arms of their parents, staggering, and fell asleep directly, Ah Bao and Xiao Lingshu carried one to the main room and sent them back to the room.
The nurse and the maid took the two children's bedclothes in their hands and changed them on, and after this toss, the two children still slept very soundly, and their little faces were red and fluttering, which was still cute.
Ah Bao stood and watched for a while, leaned over and kissed their little faces, and Fang and Xiao Lingshu returned to the bedroom together. Under the service of the maid, Ah Bao changed the heavy dress on his body, and at the same time took off the hairpin on his head, removed the jewelry on his body, and suddenly felt that the whole person was alive.
After the two of them changed their clothes and cleaned their faces, they took a sip of the ginseng tea presented by the maid.
After the maids all retreated, Ah Bao looked at the man beside him, he was still so silent, his face was condensed, and he felt very uncomfortable, I don't know what he thinks in his heart, I don't know if he has joys, sorrows, sorrows, or sorrows, I don't know if he will be sad and sad, and I don't know if he will be angry because his deceased mother was used and ridiculed like this......
Xiao Lingshu glanced at her and did not speak.
Ah Bao was stunned for a while, and suddenly asked, "The prince has nothing to do, right?" ”
He gave him a puzzled look, wondering why she asked.
Ah Bao moved over, leaned against him, and said, "No matter what other people think of the prince, in my heart the prince is the best, and I will always accompany you." ”
Xiao Lingshu's eyes flashed slightly, he reached out to take her into his arms, lowered his head and rubbed against her neck, but quickly pushed her away and asked her to sit down and not lean over.
"Lord Wang?" Po was a little stunned, wasn't the atmosphere just right?
He squinted at her and said seriously, "There are still three days!" ”
When Ah Bao understood what three days meant, he couldn't help but squirt, and found that this man was really a principled person, saying that ten days would be ten days, without discounting, it was so cute that it was outrageous.
