Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Birthday Banquet
The affection of a temporary couple shocked everyone in the Xuancheng Palace, but in front of the emperor, no one dared to show a trace of surprise, just pretended not to see it. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Suddenly, I heard a commotion below the diagonal side, and there was a woman's scream......
What's wrong? The Emperor asked idly.
A small inner eunuch knelt down and replied: "Your Majesty, it was Princess Qi who fainted." ”
Everyone looked at Yong and watched how he settled the matter, but Yong still stood tightly with Nishiki Palace and didn't mean to ask.
Obviously, he didn't want to be disturbed while enjoying the fruits of victory, and besides, the jealous woman must have done it on purpose, pretending to be pitiful, because she usually fought with the concubines in the mansion like a tigress.
"Oh, why?"
The emperor didn't look at Yong at all, he asked about Yin Mountain. Because Princess Qi is his daughter.
Yin Shan's round face was embarrassed and anxious, sweating and screaming! The ground came out and knelt down with a puff: "Back to Your Majesty's words, maybe because of the abnormal heat in the past few days, she is pregnant and weak." ”
"Then you'll come back when you've made your arrangements."
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Yin Shan dragged the fat body and agreed.
After that, the emperor sat on the dragon chair, and everyone bowed down to sit down, and an old prince presented the emperor with a rare and rare luminous cup, a total of four, carved with the pattern of Fulu's birthday, which will exude a pale green color in the dark night.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Hao Chenglai walked up to Concubine Xian and whispered in his ear: "Your grandson is gone......"
Yes!
Concubine Xian was startled, covered her mouth with a handkerchief, and said tremblingly, "Don't! Don't tell Your Majesty! ”
"Of course, if such a disappointing thing is known to the old man, let's finish it!"
Although Hao Tong spoke in a tone that didn't matter to him, the ominous premonition just now that suddenly saw yin blood didn't know when it began to firmly intimidate his heart.
Although the internal supervisors removed a large pool of stains left by Princess Qi with lightning speed, it is a pity that such a valuable Xuanhua carpet is really!
Cheerful music sounded, and people began to plan to enjoy the banquet again.
They have already cultivated the ability to collapse in front of Mount Tai without changing color.
Accompanying the king is like accompanying the tiger, which banquet does not give a few people to death?
Those Shang Gong of the six bureaus, one of the twenty-four divisions under your management made a mistake, and you weighed it.
Those musicians who play music in the pear garden, if you make a mistake in the rhythm, those palace people who serve tea, pour wine, and pass dishes, you can break an amber cup and try it, and those courtiers will touch the taboo when they should answer, and you will touch your head and still be there.
The concubines and female officials of the inner court showed a hint of resentment and jealousy, and you didn't move your heads......
Everyone sat down in an orderly manner according to the guidance of the Si Zan of Shangyi Palace.
The emperor was still on the six steps of the stairs, high up, and he was temporarily alone, because his left hand was empty, and that was the position of the empress,
Behind the emperor is a yellow crystal bead curtain, and at the end of the curtain is a delicate inner hall, where the concubines are sitting, including the virtuous concubine, the good concubine, the lady concubine, the soft concubine and Kong Zhaoyuan, Yin Wanyi with a few female officials and several royal wives, and other harems cannot appear on this occasion.
During this period without the empress, in order not to be rude, Concubine Xian was usually invited out to sit on the right side of the emperor to accompany her.
Three floors below, is the position of the princes of the pro-kingdom, divided into two rows on the left and right, they are all the emperor's uncles, full of white hair, the younger ones have the emperor's brother Yu Wang, he is the eldest son of Emperor Wenzong, because he was born disabled, he is a lame, so he lost the right to inherit the throne.
These people have no power, and they are all in retirement.
The first position on the left is vacant, that is the position of the prince, but the prince is abolished, and this position has become a piece of fat.
After that, King Qi and King Liang, King Shou was too young to come, and Jinzhigong, as the princess of Wuque, had a special identity and was allowed to sit next to Zun.
The first one on the right is empty, and that is the location of King Qi Yin Mountain,
Below him is the King of Wei, who is free of Yan Fei.
is different from Yan Fei, the title of this prince of Yinshan is hereditary.
The ancestors of their Yin clan once followed the Western Saint Ancestor General to be born and died, laid down this piece of the country, carried the master back from the pile of dead people from the battlefield, and then rose again with the master.
When it came to the establishment of Jinliang, General Xishengzu sat firmly on the country and let go of Manan Mountain. He took the initiative to return the military power and become a free prince. In short, he was not like other patriarchs who clinged to military power and did not let go, and ended up being suspicious of the emperor and quietly eradicated on trumped-up charges. He was a smart man who knew how to retreat.
With the ancestors who knew the times, they made a good start, so the Yin clan was able to carry forward, and there were many talents, generations of ministers in the court, and most importantly, many queens.
The emperor was able to ascend the throne smoothly because he married Empress Yin, who was three years older than him.
In this dynasty alone, Queen Yin served on the throne for twenty-four years until she died of illness.
And Yinshan served by the emperor's side earlier than his sister, he entered the palace at the age of six to read to the princes, when the emperor was the fifth prince, although he was the same age as Yinshan, but because he was spoiled by his mother Dongcheng Jieyu, thin and timid, chubby He didn't know how many beatings he had suffered for the emperor in the study, so the love of this young general horn was by no means understandable to outsiders.
Even Hao Tong, who has been by the emperor's side for 30 years, has also made it difficult for the emperor to leave.
Under the situation of the two powerful people, it can be imagined how difficult it was to take off Yan Fei and slowly sit down to the current King of Wei to lead the political envoys.
On the flat ground under the three steps again, it is the main body of the main hall, the seats are eight hundred, thousands of people feast, and the envoys of the courtiers and courtiers are full.
The spacious hall, not to mention the hundreds of inner prison palace maids shuttling through it, just the wine and delicious food burst the space. The food is staggering. The elixir is filled with glazed cups, and the jade liquid is poured into the luminous cup.
The emperor picked out the most exquisite skills from hundreds of famous chefs, and the puffer fish was cooked, the taste, and a bite became a fairy, thinking that although the emperor was strict, all his banquets and tastes were the first in the world.
People are really duplicitous animals, they all say that money is the root of all evil, everyone is fishing, they all say that women are red-faced and troublesome, everyone wants to hug, they all say that the high place is cold, everyone wants to climb up, they all say that the puffer fish is poisonous, and everyone wants to try it to the death......
Before the banquet began, a bachelor from the Hanlin Academy read aloud the Changsheng Fu, and the content was nothing more than flattery, but his voice was loud, his words were clear, and his tone was frustrated. The beauty of the text and the charm of the above people actually turned decay into magic! attracted the emperor's jaw and the applause of everyone.
In a scene of singing and dancing, harmony and prosperity, people's banquet officially began.
Soon Yin Shan came in a hurry, and said that everything was fine, and His Majesty was concerned.
After a wonderful song and dance, the emperor finally frowned and said, "Why is Yan Fei so late?" After a pause, he asked again, "What about the queen?" ”
Concubine Xian turned her head angrily.
When Zun heard it in his ears, his heart was like a pot of water, and the fire boiled, but in the end he still came, and sure enough, what was he looking forward to in the abyss of despair?
Just take off your face! Show up! Try how fast my knife is!
He thought about it, killed that person with a knife, and then kidnapped his father, forcing him to ask for a death-free gold medal for the people of Liangwangfu, and then he could die calmly.
Hao Tong hurriedly sent someone to ask.
He waited for years, just waiting for this moment, his nerves were like taut bowstrings, ready to go.
After a long while, a clever inner supervisor rushed back, knelt on the ground, panted evenly, and said: Your Majesty, His Royal Highness King Wei said the truth, the queen mother entered the palace on the first day today, and first went to Shoukang Palace to ask the old queen mother for peace, who knew that the old queen mother was confused and sick again, and held her hand and didn't let go, and followed wherever she went, even going to the toilet. I really couldn't do anything, so I led her old man back to Yikun Palace. I caught up with the sixth prince Kang Zi beat the death of his biological mother and cried day and night, and the imperial doctor tried to treat it ineffectively, but the nurse hugged it and handed it to the queen's arms, and suddenly smiled. Now the queen mother said that she has the old and the young, dragging on the day and not even having time to eat, when the slave maid entered, she saw that His Royal Highness the King of Wei was feeding the queen mother, and the queen mother was holding the six princes, freeing one hand to feed the queen mother......
Even the emperor couldn't hold back his laughter: Spread my words, just ask Yan Fei to accompany them to eat, and sleep outside the corridor of Yikun Palace for the night, so there is no need to come.
Hao Tong smiled: "Your Majesty, is this going to break people's bellies?" Although His Royal Highness King Wei is over 30 years old, his face is like a beautiful jade, the color is full of spring, and the autumn water is a god, and his demeanor is better than when he was young. He was on duty at night under the porch of his old man's house, and the fairy Chang'e in the month was afraid that he would be fascinated and wanted to come down to drink tea! ”
The emperor laughed, just laughed and roared and panted tightly, and the inner eunuch hurriedly took the dark purple glass spittoon and knelt down to take a mouthful of mixed phlegm that he spit out.
