Chapter 127: Gimmick
Cui Lei was confused, but he felt that the calculation was so heavy when the prince said this, why did he suddenly worry about His Majesty? His Majesty is now full of guilt, hoping that she will not find out that this is another plan of the prince.
"Isn't the prince afraid that His Majesty will be angry again?" Cui Lei asked again.
Guan Qianyi said, "She can't think of this layer in her head." β
Cui Lei nodded, the prince has always guessed His Majesty's thoughts accurately.
"There are too many people who are familiar with His Majesty at this palace banquet, and the relationship between this king and her is more indifferent, which can avoid a lot of prying eyes. But you must not let your guard down, and those who are close to His Majesty need to be careful. β
"It's the prince!"
The palace banquet is approaching, and Li Wei can finally rest for a while.
Beichen Luo has also been studying with Master Yankong for the past few days, and his temperament has become gentle and polite, so there is no need for her to worry.
At this time, Qi Mingfei came with news again, and the person who deliberately spread the slander against the regent was a very small official named Zhao Wei.
Li Wei followed Zhao Wei and ordered the four secret guards in the southeast, northwest, and northwest, who had been on call for a long time, to find out Zhao Wei's information and found that he might be a member of the Cheng family.
At the same time, she suddenly noticed that Dandan had been silent a lot lately. She remembered that day, Dandan deliberately lingered in the study for a long time, and finally told her, reminding her that the inheritance hall of the prince of Xiyi Kingdom was about to begin.
Is this just a coincidence?
"Dandan, will you accompany me to the shooting range?" Her current work is either to review and reciprocate or to constantly raise her mind.
Needless to say, Dandan's archery skills can be called the first in Beichen, a hundred steps through Yang is already a piece of cake, it is common to be able to shoot arrows while riding a horse, and the most powerful thing is that she can shoot three arrows at the same time, all of which hit the bull's-eye.
Li Wei admired from the bottom of her heart, but at the same time, she had a touch of sadness.
It is a little difficult for such talents to be completely co-opted by their side.
"Dandan is really amazing, with you by your side. I'm completely out of the safe side. β
"Your Majesty is too famous. The ministers deserve it. β
"Shame on you, you must know better than I do." Li Wei said something quite meaningful, and said, "I heard that Cheng Guogong recently had a little grandson. It's really gratifying. I've already gotten the gift to give. β
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
"It should be, it's all a family, don't talk to two families. The friendship between us is not broken up casually, is it? β
"Dan takes it to heart."
At the end of the point, Li Wei looked at Dandan's heroic eyebrows. Knowing that she is a smart person, she doesn't need to be too clear.
On the day of the palace banquet, there was a lively scene inside and outside the imperial city.
The people also took this opportunity to put a lot of delicate things at the city gate, and watched those troupes enter the palace, which was extraordinary. I heard that His Majesty's palace banquet was frugal, and many decorations were made of paper-folded lanterns, and the troupe invited a lot, but they were not large classes, but selected some of the most popular dramas at the moment, and it took more than half a month just to rehearse the show.
I heard it again. His Majesty prepared a variety of fun games at the palace banquet, which will be revealed after the hundred officials enter the palace.
The most shocking news is that His Majesty personally invited Master Yan Kong to sit in the palace banquet.
Master Yankong is also a person, the god of Beichen's eye measurement of the sun, and Beichen's first magic hand to rejuvenate. When Tu Xuan Xi Γ was alive, only the regent could invite the master, and the master did not necessarily come as promised.
Now that His Majesty has been on the throne for less than a year, can he invite Master Yankong?
Most people are skeptical.
I'm afraid that in order to strengthen the momentum of the palace banquet, I passed on a gimmick with the help of the name of Master Yankong.
When the people watched Lu Xiaocai enter the palace as a musician, their mood was excited again.
Although Lu Xiao is not as famous as Master Yan Kong, he is also a disciple of Le Sheng, and many officials have invited this businessman to attend at a high price, but he has never been seen agreeing. Never thought that people's vision would be so high and enter the palace?
Later, news came that Lu Xiao was invited by a friend to enter the palace, which made the people wonder who his friend was. Such a big face? Could it be a big shot in officialdom?
There are a lot of gimmicks in this palace banquet, and the people are watching more and more lively, and those storytellers are also gathered outside the imperial city, and they sent some eyeliner to get the first news of the palace banquet by mixing in with the opera troupe.
Imperial Gardens of the Imperial Palace. The seats are arranged in a circle, fan-shaped around the high platform in the center.
Hundreds of officials entered the seats one after another, followed by relatives of the emperor and the country.
Li Wei stared at the hidden place, and Gonggong Xie introduced many nobles and relatives one by one.
Among them, the most impressive thing for Li Wei was the legendary imperial sister, the thirteenth princess. She was pale and sickly, she walked quite slowly under the support of Ma Jingshan, and her words and deeds were not much, as she was a princess, she didn't need to greet anyone, and after nodding, she went straight into her seat and never moved again.
Looks like he's seriously ill? Or is life not going as planned?
Li Wei thought of Ma Rongtian, a colt, and felt that his character and appearance were okay, not too bad.
When Princess Qi and King Qi entered the table, it was quite eye-catching.
As we all know, Princess Qi is from the Lei family, the first imperial merchant family, and entered the prince's door with Wanguan's family wealth, and became the princess of Beichen Qi, a fool, how many people sighed.
Lei Jingxian held King Qi's hand, with a dignified appearance and a demure and beautiful appearance, dressed in Kyoto's most popular brocade back jacket embedded with sleeve placket, hanging a lot of ink jade on the waist, the two couples looked at each other and loved each other, envying others.
Even the maids who followed behind them wore the finest green cardigans with gold threaded shoulders.
Lei Jingya followed behind her sister, wrapped in a pink cotton fur outfit, delicate and cute.
Followed by the Zheng family's daughter-in-law, who was also dressed up beautifully, but her eyes were tall and arrogant.
Because the Zheng family is only average in several major families, Marquis Zheng has always been low-key.
If you want to say that the most well-known and favored figure of the Zheng family, it is Zheng Shiyan, the mother of Beichen Qi and the daughter of the Zheng family. She is well-read and resourceful, and she has also won the favor of the saints, and she has turned the clouds and rain in the harem, but later she was suppressed by the queen mother when she was too sharp, and then Zheng Shiyan's only prince, Beichen Qi, was also stupid, and she finally died of depression.
Zheng Shiluo, the husband of the Zheng family's daughter-in-law, has been inferior to Zheng Shiyan's sister since he was a child, that is, he was valued by the head of the Zheng family after his sister's death, and in the past two years, he has also sought a six-grade national prince in Kyoto.
King Qi and his entourage sat next to the thirteen princesses, and Ma Jingshan looked at such a high-profile and gorgeous figure walking over from the side, and suddenly felt a little unhappy in her heart.
"Hmph, the Shangjia family can only shake off a gold-encrusted dress to attract attention."
Lei Jingya is also a thorn ball, how can she tolerate her family being slandered, and she was about to rush over to theorize, but was blocked by her sister, "Forgot what you promised me before entering the palace?" β
Lei Jingya could only compromise, turned around and sat down, and did not forget to keep an eye on the unruly county lord.
The daughter-in-law of the Zheng family was also proud when she watched her being bullied.
She was originally the eldest lady of the family, and she felt wronged when she married Zheng Shiluo, but after coming to the Zheng family, she was first pressed by Zheng Shiyan, and now there is Lei Jingxian, who is not used to seeing Lei Jingxian relying on her money and identity to be higher than her everywhere, and now she sees that there are still people in the palace who show her face to this princess, and she can't help but be happy, thinking that the lord of Fuhui can be wooed.
Ma Jingshan was naturally proud, looking at their low and small appearance, they were indeed lowly businessmen, and when she saw the flattering gaze of the Zheng family's daughter-in-law, she glared back.
"Shan'er must not be rude." The thirteenth princess seemed to know her daughter's temper and turned her head sideways to say a word to her.
Ma Jingshan turned her head back to her seat, looked left and right, and asked, "Why hasn't Brother Yi arrived yet?" β
As he was talking, a word came from outside.
"Lord Regent has arrivedβ"
