The Chinese New Year's Eve banquet was set up in the Yuqiong Hall, and the seats had been set up in the hall, and the civil and military officials came to this Yuqiong Hall one after another when they were in the unitary time, and sat in their positions with the guidance of the little eunuch, and at three o'clock in the unitary hour, Emperor Qianwen entered the palace with the empress, and the one who entered the hall with the side was the concubine who gave birth to the fourth prince Dongfang Xuan, and the virtuous concubine, because she was unwell, did not participate in this night banquet.

This night banquet is just to show the benevolence and affinity of the emperor, and the joy of the monarch and the ministers, and it is not as strict and restrained as the previous court. After Emperor Qianwen and the empress sat down, the civil and military officials got up, knelt down and saluted again, and after Emperor Qianwen said that the Qingqing family was flat, they got together again and knelt on the seat.

Emperor Qianwen held the wine glass, said some words of encouragement, and finally said: "Zhong Aiqing, at today's night banquet, I will drink a glass first, and all the Qing do not need to detain the courtesy of the monarch and ministers." After speaking, he drank all the wine in the cup in one gulp, and the civil and military officials picked up the wine cup on the low table, drank and returned the salute, and then danced happily.

The civil and military officials on both sides of the hall sometimes enjoy the singing and dancing in the center of the hall, and sometimes talk to the surroundings.

After a few dances, Emperor Qianwen spoke: "Today's Chinese New Year's Eve, after today, the order will be eighteen." As soon as he said this, everyone in the palace knew what Emperor Qianwen was going to say next. At the age of eighteen, it's time to be crowned king.

"My second son, who disappeared in Jizhou four years ago, and now returns safely, she should have been crowned king last year, and today, she will be crowned king with Xu'er." After Emperor Qianwen finished speaking, Dongfang Xu got up and knelt in the center of the main hall, waiting for the king.

Dongfang Du wanted to get up, but Banlan stepped forward to help, and heard Emperor Qianwen say: "Du'er doesn't have to get up, just sit down." Thinking that she was now weak and not yet healthy, I couldn't bear to let her kneel on the ground.

"My second son, Dongfangdu, gave the king of Qing and the fief Jinzhou, and my third son, Dongfang Xu, gave the king of Fengyou, the fief of Yuzhou, and allowed the two to build a palace outside the palace." Dongfang Lingwu is nineteen, but he has not been allowed to build a princess's mansion outside the palace, and the two princes have just been crowned kings, so they are allowed to build a mansion outside the palace, and they don't know what the intention is.

Dongfang Du and Dongfang Xu replied together: "Father Xie." "This was crowned the king, and it was allowed to build a mansion outside the palace, which is much more convenient for Dongfang to act than in the palace. The best thing is that the fief is Jinzhou, the fief in the previous life was Qingzhou, and now it is in Jinzhou, and she and Dark Cloud originally planned to settle in Jinzhou.

Jinzhou and Yuzhou, are connected to Jingzhou, although the prosperity of Cheng dù is not as good as the capital, but also richer than other states, now Jinzhou belongs to her, the financial resources in the hands are even thicker.

"Xu'er, get up." Emperor Qianwen smiled and glanced at Dongfang Du and Dongfang Xu, and then glanced at the civil and military officials in the hall.

When Dongfang Du saw Dongfang Xu get up, he glanced at himself meaningfully, and couldn't help but be shocked, it seems that this younger brother is really much more powerful than his elder brother.

These two princes were promoted to princes, and the civil and military officials naturally wanted to congratulate, "Congratulations to King Qing, congratulations to King You." Dongfang Du and Dongfang Xu toasted to the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs for their congratulations.

The Chinese New Year's Eve banquet was like this, nothing new, and when the night banquet ended, after Emperor Qianwen and the empress returned to the palace, all the ministers also withdrew one by one. Dongfang Du motioned for Banlan to help herself up, and then saw Dongfang Xu walking towards her, Dongfang Lingwu saw this, asked her with her eyes, and saw her smiling at herself, so she nodded and left first.

As soon as Dongfang Xu came over, he said, "I don't know when the second emperor brother will leave the palace to build a mansion?" There is a mansion on Chang'an Avenue, and if the royal brother doesn't mind, he will send it to the imperial brother as a mansion. "You don't have to let her out of the palace so obviously, right?

"Thank you for the kindness of the third emperor brother, this palace is not in a hurry, it is better for the royal brother to choose a suitable place to build it again." After speaking, he arched his hand, "Brother Huang has taken the first step." When Banlan heard this, she cleverly pushed the wheelchair and headed in the direction of Fengqing Palace.

"Brother Huang, go slowly." Dongfang Xu also bowed back.

"Your Highness, did you say that His Royal Highness the Third Prince couldn't hold his breath?" If it weren't for her Second Prince's Royal Highness reminding the prince to ask the imperial doctor to check the pulse today, and then going to the East Palace in person, the third prince would not be so impatient.

"He's just pretending he can't hold his breath." After enduring it for so many years, how could it be that he couldn't hold his breath because of one or two of his actions? If she hadn't sent someone to investigate, she really couldn't believe that Dongfang Xu's subordinates had a number of capable people and countless strategists. It is also said that she was born to the queen, just because she was born late, and the position of the prince is his brother's, and it is normal to be unwilling.

In his previous life, he was the one who borrowed a knife to kill people, but in this life, he was replaced by himself, for a throne, which is really ridiculous. As for Dongfang Xi, it has always been the murderous knife, and after his death in his previous life, the throne finally fell into the hands of Dongfang Xu, right?

"At the banquet, the prince was silent." Banlan said with emotion.

Thinking of Dongfang Xi's table tonight, Dongfang Du couldn't help but sneer, "He's just hesitating." He hesitated whether to listen to her words and attack the brother of the first mother's compatriot, or to listen to the words of his brother and continue to attack her, the "half-disabled" second emperor brother.

Hearing her sneer, Banlan changed the subject, "By the way, when does His Royal Highness plan to build a palace outside the palace?" "This palace can be renovated by fancy mansions, or it can be rebuilt by drawing drawings block by piece, and it is all up to them.

Dongfang Du pondered for a moment and replied: "Naturally, the sooner the better, Banlan, this palace, where do you say it is appropriate?" ”

"The slave maid thinks ......" Banlan was about to answer, but Dongfang Du interrupted: "You don't need to talk to the palace in detail, you can handle this palace matter, and you can do it before March." "Three months was given, and even if it was to rebuild a mansion, it would be enough.

"Yes, Your Highness." Banlan pursed her mouth, her tone full of displeasure. What did this take her for? It's all about being a man! Let her do any job! Why is she so miserable!

Dongfang Du naturally heard the unhappiness in her tone, smiled lightly, and said half-back: "Banlan, you swear to become the most competent personal maid, such a little thing, you are not happy to do it?" The smile deepened, "This palace, you can pick the place you like, this palace's love for you is much deeper than other palace maids and eunuchs, you can pick the palace, you are the first person." ”

It's not love! But how dare Banlan refute it in person, she can only break her thoughts in her heart, counting the oppression that Dongfang has oppressed her over the years.

If you flirt/play, you shouldn't say it casually, and the words that you said to Banlan on the road fell into the ears of Dark Cloud word for word. Don't look at someone smiling happily on the way, there is a place for her to cry after returning to the palace!

The identity of the woman in Dongfang is also known to Banlan, who used to bathe at the door, but now that she has returned to the palace, she is naturally guarded. It's just that this dark cloud enters the sleeping palace of Dongfangdu, and it comes and goes freely as if it is no one, even if Banlan guards it, it can't guard the dark cloud.

After returning to the palace, the water for the bath was directly sent over. Dongfang Du took off his clothes, and before he stepped into the barrel, he heard the voice of the dark clouds, "Du, do you need Yun'er to wait for you to bathe?" ”

In the past, when I was bathing, the dark clouds would not appear, and even if I came, as long as I saw her bathing, I would turn around and leave directly. At this moment, I don't know which tendon she is wrong, so she went directly around the screen and walked to her, so frightened that Dongfang Du sat in the water and looked at her with a stupid expression.

Seeing her stunned, Dark Cloud chuckled, and secretly said in her heart: "Is this stupid to be scared? 'Eyes moved down, I couldn't help but sigh, I haven't seen you for four years, this chest ...... Looks like it's developing well! I don't know how uncomfortable it will be to be wrapped in a chest cloth? 'I've been restrained, shouldn't I rub it well?' With that in mind, he took two more steps forward.

Seeing the dark clouds standing against the bath bucket, Dongfang Du came back to his senses, covered his chest hidden in the water, blushed shyly, and stammered: "Clouds...... Yun'er, I'm ...... I'm taking a shower, you...... You go out first. As he spoke, he lowered his head.

"Get out?" Dark Cloud hooked his lips and smiled, leaned down, leaned in and said, "Go out and call Sister Du's beloved Banlan in?" ”

"You...... What nonsense are you talking about! Dongfang Du retorted in a low voice, without any confidence at all.

"Since I'm talking nonsense, then...... Why don't Yun'er stay and serve you? ”
