Chapter 369: Zhongyuan (1)

After some greetings, the emperor asked about his great-grandson: "After Nian'er was born, I haven't seen him yet." Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 InfoDidn't I ask you to bring him with you? ”

The imperial grandson pleaded guilty with an apologetic face: "Please also ask the imperial grandfather not to blame." Nian'er has been holding in her mother's womb for a long time, and her body is very weak as soon as she is born, and she can't see the wind, so I'm afraid she can't afford to bump all the way. The grandson didn't take him with him. ”

The prince took over the conversation: "Erchen thought about it, and he also felt that it was more appropriate to leave Nian'er in the mansion. When his father returns to Beijing, his son must bring Nian'er into the palace and let his father take a closer look. ”

The emperor would not be really angry about this little thing, and said with a smile: "This is not thoughtful." That's it, there will be a lot of time in the future, and it's not too late to say goodbye when Nian'er's body is strong. ”

"Your father and son have had a hard journey, so settle down early. Tomorrow happens to be the Midyear Festival, and I have already ordered Concubine Wei Xian to prepare tomorrow's Midyear Banquet. It's a rare time for our father and son to get together, and we're going to have a few drinks tomorrow. ”

The crown prince and grandson and King Yan were busy together.

The emperor looked at his filial sons and grandchildren, and a smile of relief flashed in his eyes.

……

After the crown prince and the others retreated, the emperor called Gonggong Ding again: "You go to Concubine Wei Xian's side now, and ask how the preparations for tomorrow's banquet are going?" ”

Gonggong Ding replied respectfully, and before he could lift his feet and leave, Concubine Wei Xian came.

"The concubine asks the emperor for peace." Concubine Wei Xian Yingying bowed, with a smile in her eyes, a slender waist, gentle and charming.

Xinyun and Ling Jingshu saluted together with Concubine Wei Xian.

The emperor stepped forward with a smile and personally helped Concubine Wei Xian, and his gaze swept slightly over Ling Jingshu's face: "The two of you are also flat." ”

Although the elixir of longevity is effective, it unfortunately does not make the emperor regain his "majesty". The emperor's heart for women is also fading. Seeing Ling Jingshu, I occasionally had some regrets in my heart, but I didn't think about it as much as before.

Ling Jingshu and Xinyun thanked for their grace, and then stepped aside together.

"I was about to ask Gonggong Ding to go to you, but I didn't expect you to take the initiative to come." The emperor held Concubine Wei Xian's hand and said with a smile: "It seems that I have a good relationship with you. ”

Concubine Wei Xian pursed her lips and smiled: "The emperor has come to make fun of the concubines again." When the crown prince and the imperial grandson arrived at the palace, how could the concubines not know. Tomorrow's Zhongyuan banquet, the emperor has been looking forward to it for so long, and he instructed his concubines to prepare well half a month ago. The concubine has been busy with this matter these days, but she doesn't dare to slack off at all. ”

"This is the process of tomorrow's banquet, the concubine specially brought it, and asked the emperor to make a decision. If there's anything wrong, it's too late to change it. ”

Concubine Wei Xian's eyes showed slightly, and Ling Jingshu immediately stepped forward and presented the brocade book in her hand: "Please take a look at the emperor." ”

This brocade book is made of the finest brocade and is soft and comfortable to hold in your hand.

When I opened it, the handwriting inside was very clear.

The emperor couldn't help but praise: "Good word!" He smiled and quipped: "I remember, the handwriting of the concubine is not like this." ”

Concubine Wei Xian said shyly: "The emperor should not make fun of the concubines." The concubine only learned to read and practice calligraphy after entering the palace, and the handwriting was not even neat. Where can you write such a beautiful word? This was all written by Lady Ling. ”

The emperor was not surprised.

The most useful female official around Concubine Wei Xian, except for Xinyun, is Ling Jingshu. This Ling Jingshu is worthy of being a well-born lady. The calligraphy and painting of the piano and chess are outstanding, and the handwriting is also unexpectedly beautiful.

After regretting once again that such a lovely person could not enjoy it himself, the emperor quickly turned his attention to the content of the brocade.

But any banquet is indispensable for wine and food. There are more than a dozen imperial chefs brought to the palace this time, which is enough to cope with this banquet. The musicians specially arranged a new repertoire for the banquet, and the singers and dancers also carefully prepared new songs and dances.

"There's even a sword dance?" The emperor asked with interest: "This is fresh." Did you deliberately have people rehearse it? ”

Concubine Wei Xian replied with a smile: "This sword dance is not the idea of the concubine, it was specially ordered by His Royal Highness King Yan. said that it was time to open the emperor's eyes! ”

Over the past year, the emperor has become more and more partial to King Yan, and when he heard this, he suddenly smiled: "Okay, good!" King Yan has a heart, and I am waiting to enjoy this sword dance. ”

Ling Jingshu hung her head on the side, thinking uncertainly.

King Yan has been planning secretly for so long, he can't hold it back!

This time, the crown prince and the imperial grandson came to the palace to accompany the emperor to celebrate the Midyear Festival, is this the emperor's idea, or the suggestion of King Yan?

If it was done by King Yan, I am afraid that there will be no good feast......

However, with the shrewdness of the emperor's grandson, he will never be defenseless.

Tomorrow's Zhongyuan wine banquet, I don't know how the situation will be changing, and I don't know how many dangers will be hidden. Concubine Wei Xian must be present. She and Xinyun also had to accompany Concubine Wei Xian to the banquet, and they couldn't hide if they wanted to.

……

As soon as he returned to the dormitory, Wei Yan came.

"Eldest sister, you must be extra careful at tomorrow's banquet."

Wei Yan didn't have a smile on his face, and his expression was very cautious: "In the past few days, I always have some bad premonitions, and I always feel that something unexpected will happen. ”

Ling Jingshu and Wei Yan glanced at each other, and they both saw the worry in each other's eyes.

It seems that the two thought of going together.

Concubine Wei Xian hesitated for a moment, frowning her slender willow eyebrows: "Ah Yan, could it be that you are too nervous?" With the emperor here, what else dare King Yan and the crown prince do? ”

What King Yan did in secret, Concubine Wei Xian also knew a little.

However, in her opinion, King Yan is nothing more than trying his best to compete for the emperor's favor. There will never be the courage to usurp the throne and rebel.

Wei Yan said in a deep voice: "I don't have any evidence, and I haven't found anything wrong, everything is just speculation." It's not a bad thing to be careful and be more careful. ”

After a pause, he said: "The emperor is very gracious, let me also go to the banquet together." Tomorrow, I will sit at the last seat with Daochang Yu and others. It's far away from you, if something happens, you remember to leave nothing alone, and run out and hide with Anya. ”

"Ashu, you are the same. Don't worry about anything, the most important thing is to save your life. ”

Ling Jingshu nodded and responded.

Concubine Wei Xian exhaled a long breath and said calmly, "Okay, I know." ”

Wei Yan took out a pale green porcelain bottle from his sleeve again: "This is the antidote pill I specially refined. Before going to the feast, you each take two pills. Try not to eat the wine, food, and tea at the banquet. ”

Ling Jingshu took the porcelain vase.

The smooth porcelain vase still carried Wei Yan's body temperature, and when he held it in his hand, it made the slightly cool palm more warm. (To be continued.) )
