19. Who is the best

When Yan Xiaoran and I arrived, many ministers had already come. Because it is a feast, it is not divided into monarchs and ministers today, and many courtiers joked: "Your Majesty and the queen mother are late, and they will punish themselves with three cups." ”

The last time I drank was three months ago, at Nanling Palace. Thinking of that day, I subconsciously looked at Yan Xiaoran.

"What do you see me doing?" Yan Xiaoran turned her eyes to look at me.

"Did you ...... say you liked me that day?"

"I'm not going to help you drink today."

Forget it, just because I didn't ask. I retracted my gaze and raised my glass, "Three glasses of thin wine, I will do it first as a respect." ”

I drank three glasses in a row, and the ministers around me applauded together: "Your Majesty has a good amount of wine." ”

Then, I poured three more glasses: "The queen is a woman, and she is not strong enough to drink, and she drank her three cups on her behalf." ”

After drinking six glasses of wine, I sat down like a nobody, Yan Xiaoran raised her eyebrows and looked at me, poured herself a glass of wine, tasted it, and then silently put down the bowl: "Thank you so much for drinking on my behalf." ”

I laughed: "If I don't take a vacation here, I'll get drunk after a while, and I'll lose face in front of everyone." ”

After a while, the queen mother also came, and I hurriedly stepped forward to greet her. The ministers congratulated the queen mother on her birthday, I didn't have much literary talent, and I couldn't say anything substantial, but I don't think the queen mother would mind.

She patted my hand peacefully, looking in a good mood. "Sit down, everybody."

I took her by the hand and took her to the seat next to me and sat down.

Yan Xiaoran: "I have seen the queen mother, and the queen mother has a long life." ”

The queen mother glanced at Yan Xiaoran, and said: "The mourning family heard that the queen's bedroom has been built, and the queen can't always live there with His Majesty, after the feast, the queen will move over." ”

That's not going to work! I just found a warm bed yesterday, how can I just let it go? I said, "Queen Mother, in fact, the queen is nothing here with me, the queen is gentle and considerate, and I need him very much." ”

As soon as these words came out, the queen mother's gaze when she looked at us suddenly became weird, and even her face changed. She glanced at us and didn't say anything more.

I blinked, so this is the past?

After a while, the envoys of the two countries also came, and they congratulated the queen mother in person, and I searched among the group, and at a glance I saw the dream of Liu Zhimeng wearing a small felt hat. This willow dream looks good, petite and small, at a glance, you know that it is a woman, and there is no sincerity in pretending to be a man.

After the envoy came in, I found Gu Chen sneaking in quietly through the side door, and then sat in his place casually, drinking with everyone. I pursed my lips, he still hated my mother in his heart, let alone come to congratulate, it would be good if he didn't poison it.

After everyone was seated, the feast officially began.

During the reign of my father, the focus was on the poetry meeting in the morning, and the hunting in the afternoon became dispensable. So often at this time, the entire hall is the sour smell of those literati. He attaches great importance to a person's cultural literacy, if the poem is good, there is a chance to be added to the official rank, so every time the ministers are full of energy, they want to show their literary brilliance in front of their father.

Below, the dancing girls are dancing, and the ministers are talking to each other, waiting for me to announce the beginning of the poetry meeting. I coughed lightly, and the hall fell silent, and everyone looked at me directly.

"This year's poetry will ...... As I saw it, it was canceled...... Well, all future poems will be cancelled. "As long as I'm in power, you don't want to hold any more poetry meetings, huh.

"No, Your Majesty, this poetry meeting is left by the ancestors, absolutely not."

I looked at this minister who stood up and spoke, if I remember correctly, he should be Gu Chen's person. Every year, Gu Chen won the jackpot in the poetry meeting, and then his father Longyan was happy, and he was rewarded and praised.

But I can only watch from the side, it's useless to be red-eyed, I don't have that ability.

In the afternoon hunt, even if I won the first place, my father didn't like the killing, so he rewarded me with something, and then it was over.

At that time, I dreamed of getting my father's praise, I think he looked at me like Gu Chen, and then said very lovingly: "My emperor is really good." ”

It's just that he never said it, and he never looked at me squarely, and the only time he looked at me was his extremely unwilling eyes before he died.

I snapped back to my senses, looking at Yan Xiaoran holding my hand tightly, his hand was warm, like a warm breeze, gently brushing my hurt heart. He whispered: "You are the emperor, as long as you want to do it, do it, don't care what others say." ”

Yes, I am the emperor.

"I'm just announcing the outcome of this matter, not asking for your opinion." I swept to the ministers, and finally fixed on my uncle: "Uncle Guo hasn't spoken yet, you stand up against me, what is An's heart?" ”

The Chancellor: "......"

Seeing that the scene was controllable, the uncle hurriedly got up and said, "Your Majesty's decision, the ministers agree." ”

As soon as my uncle's words came out, many ministers also stood up and expressed their agreement with my decision. Then Zhao Zhongshu touched his beard, shook his head and said, "The ministers seconded the proposal." ”

As a result, most of the courtiers agreed with my decision, but there were still people on Gu Chen's side who held their faces and did not speak.

I still have a sense of accomplishment, this is the first time I want to do something on my own, and it works. I also know that as long as I don't get involved in political affairs, my uncle basically turns a blind eye to my behavior. That's how he indulged me when I was a child.

I sat down and said to the envoys on the left and right, "I'm sorry to make you two laugh, it's because I don't discipline you strictly." ”

Liu Zhiyi raised his glass: "Emperor Pingxiong, I salute you." ”

Duan Shuyan on the other side also said: "Since Lord Liu has respected Emperor Pingxiong, then I will respect the queen." As he spoke, he stepped down and stood in front of us.

Me: "......"

Yan Xiaoran raised his glass: "The eldest prince is polite." As she spoke, Yan Xiaoran drained a glass of wine in one gulp, and slammed the wine glass upside down on the table very domineeringly.

Duan Shuyan laughed: "The queen mother has a good amount of alcohol. As he spoke, he finished his drink in one gulp.

Yan Xiaoran whispered in my ear: "Fortunately, you are witty and mixed the wine with water in advance." ”

I smiled smugly, and just met Duan Shuyan's gaze as if it was about to eat me. The corners of my mouth twitched slightly, if it weren't for the fact that he was the prince of another country, I would have someone surround him and beat him violently, it was too arrogant.

I didn't bother to look at Duan Shuyan, and turned my eyes to look at the envoy of Dayan, just in time to meet the jealous gaze of Shangliu Zhimeng.

Me: "......" I silently pushed Yan Xiaoran away.

In the morning, everyone spent time eating, drinking, and watching performances, which was obviously very boring. In previous years, I watched the performance and recited poetry at the same time. However, I don't pay attention to these little things, just wait for everyone to get used to it.

In the afternoon, we're going to hunt in the royal hunting grounds, which is what I like the most.

The royal hunting ground is on the periphery of the capital, which is a large mountain forest, in which there are all kinds of animals, and it can be regarded as a wild hunting ground. Carriages were arranged for the envoys and ministers, and a group of us set off for the royal hunting ground.

Instead of riding in a carriage, I chose to ride a horse. My horse's name is Traceless, and it is a pony born from my grandfather's war horse, and my uncle saw that he liked it, so he gave it to me. Traceless is what I raised since I was a child, and he is not allowed to ride it by ordinary people.

The grandstand of the hunting ground has been set up, and the little snacks of the ladies are ready.

I had already changed into my robe and walked to Yan Xiaoran's side: "What do you want, I'll hunt it." ”

Bao Jia on the side heard it and also came over: "Cousin, I want it too, can you hunt for me too?" ”

I refused: "Don't you still have your brother, it's really not good to have Gu Chen." ”

Bao Jia Buyi: "But I want my cousin to hunt for me, I want a little fox, a little rabbit, you and my brother hunt for me together." ”

The brother and sister Liu Zhiyi and Liu Zhimeng, who were passing by, heard it, and Liu Zhimeng said: "Brother, I also want a little fox and a little rabbit." ”

Bao Jia glared at Liu Zhimeng quite unconvinced: "Why do you want to rob me?" ”

Liu Zhimeng pinched his waist: "The hunting ground is not your home, why can't I ask for it." ”

"The hunting ground is my cousin's."

I had a headache: "Okay, I'll hunt for you." "However, in this world, I'm afraid that only Baojia, a stupid girl, will think that the hunting ground is mine and Nanling is mine.

"Cousin, you're so nice." She put her arm around me with a shy look, and then as soon as I looked up, I saw Gu Chen glaring at me.

Yan Xiaoran silently pulled Bao Jia away, and he said, "I don't want anything, as long as you are safe." ”

My heart warmed, and I turned to get on the horse.

"Hmph, my cousin is amazing." Bao Jia raised his head and looked proud: "He can get the first place every year." "There are still people who remember that I was the champion of previous years.

Liu Zhimeng was not convinced: "My brother is also very powerful, in our Dayan, no one can compare to him." ”

"(ˉ▽ ̄~) cut~~, that's not as good as my cousin, my brother is also powerful, Gu Chen is also powerful, Bai Shilang is also powerful, and everyone in our Nanling is powerful."

Yanagi no Yume: "My brother is better than all of them. ”

Bao Jia looked at me: "Cousin, come on, you must not be so bad as they are." ”

Liu Zhimeng: "Brother, you also come on and win the championship." ”

Me: "......" I quickly whipped and galloped away. I really can't understand how these two people hate each other, women are really complicated and scary.

Seeing me leaving, Bao Jia turned his head to look at Yan Xiaoran: "Cousin-in-law, you say, which of them is more powerful." ”

Yan Xiaoran sat on the seat, shaking her wine glass, and glanced at them left and right: "I don't know if they are powerful, I only know that His Majesty is very powerful." Yan Xiaoran raised her eyes, and the dark eyes under her long eyelashes kept staring at the back that was almost invisible.

Bao Jia glanced at Liu Zhimeng proudly: "See, my cousin-in-law said that my cousin is very powerful." ”

Liu Zhimeng stomped his feet: "Hmph." ”
