005 Poisoning of concubines
Approaching the evening, the Zhu Hall began to be lively, the officials of all grades carried their families, according to the rank of the title, sat down on both sides of the hall in turn, everyone whispered, nodded to each other, although the voice was noisy, but the careful listening was orderly, nothing more than some of the usual tone in the officialdom, the expression of the person who said it was vivid, and the person who listened also seemed to enjoy it, the so-called official tone, that is, such a scene.
I wasn't on top of the main hall, but I picked a good spot in a corner of the hall and watched it all carefully. There are defensive guards around the hall, the daughter of the minister of the Western Wei Dynasty and the marriage of the Northern Qi Dynasty, the old minister attended his daughter's family banquet today, on the surface it is calm, but the emperor is suspicious by nature, and the Western Wei Dynasty does not really bow down to the ministers, he let people send additional guards in the hall may be his wise move, it seems that about their own life and death, people are still not confused.
A figure in the crowd, it is not difficult to recognize him, I haven't seen him for half a month and I have lost a lot, I saw him sitting between the officials on the right side of the hall, gorgeously dressed, and the innate kingly spirit is out of place among the officials. Why is he so high-profile now, the emperor let him go so easily.
"The emperor has arrived" A crisp male voice sounded, and everyone fell silent.
I really couldn't believe my eyes, because at this time, Linglong followed behind Gao Yang, and she actually sat down on the left side of the emperor, could it be that she had been made a concubine, I chuckled, and my eyes were disapproving, is there anything eternal? Love is so ridiculous under power.
The Snow Emperor Concubine is really a beauty, but compared with Linglong, she has a less enchanting charm, the emperor should prefer to lie on the dragon bed with such a woman, what's wrong with me? I am becoming more and more impatient with Linglong's experience, why should I feel sorry for her, the path I chose, I should have known that choosing life is far more than death.
"Where is King Lanling?" Gao Yang said as soon as he opened his mouth
"Back to the emperor's words, King Lanling contracted a cold last night, I'm afraid it will be difficult to attend tonight" It was Gonggong Hong who spoke, and at this juncture, only he dared to speak back to Gao Yang's words
The emperor looked displeased, "Go, call him to me."
Before he finished speaking, a deep voice sounded in the hall: "The nephew is late, please forgive the emperor." Gao Changgong walked all the way up, standing in the hall and respectfully saluting Gao Yang.
"Are you well?" Gao Yang asked, sitting down
"Back to the emperor, I went to my grandmother this morning, and asked for water to drink from the Sichuan Wu that was paid tribute to Shu last year, and I sweated all over my body, and I felt much better" He spoke unhurriedly, and the etiquette was thoughtful, which was convincing.
Gao Yang's face softened and said:
"That's good, today I feast the world, in addition to the Snow Emperor Concubine giving birth to a princess for me, there is also a matter of announcement" He got up and helped Linglong beside him to the palace and continued:
"Since Empress Xiao returned first, I have not established a post, and today I want to appoint Xia Linglong, the lord of Xixia County, as the queen" There was an uproar in the palace.
He ignored these things, and instructed Gonggong Hong to write down the holy decree in front of everyone's eyes.
At this time, the sound of the piano sounded, and the maiko twisted their waists and went up to the main hall, and the emperor was very happy, and said to Gao Changgong, who was still standing in the hall:
"Su'er, you are also an adult, today the imperial uncle will reward you with concubines, look at these lovely people, tonight is all yours" Gao Yang pointed to the maikos, and they immediately knelt down and shouted "Thank you, Lord Longen"
Gao Changgong didn't look at them at all, but said to Gao Yang: "Uncle Huang, my nephew had a crush on someone when he was a child, but he hasn't seen each other for many years and broke off contact, but the minister will not marry this girl" Then he turned slightly to look at the dancers in front of him and said: "These people naturally can't get into the eyes of the nephew."
Gao Yang was interested: "Then you can tell me, what kind of woman makes you so fascinated, I want to see it."
Gao Changgong replied: "The minister has lost contact with her, I haven't seen her for many years, and the minister misses her very much, but the minister has already announced to the world that we can meet one day." After he said that he intended to look in my direction, I was startled, with a panicked expression, don't turn my head and meet the eyes of King Yunsi, he has obviously seen me for a long time, I think I am hiding well, but I don't know that they have already discovered me.
The emperor frowned: "We are big Qi men, how can we only care about one woman, tonight you pick a concubine, find her in the future, and then be crowned as a princess, isn't it the best of both worlds?"
Gao Changgong knew the emperor's temperament, and if he refused again, he would have doubts, so he casually pointed to a brightly dressed woman and said: "This girl, with bright eyes and bright teeth, ice muscles like bones, like a fairy, please ask the emperor's uncle to give it to his nephew, and the nephew is grateful." ”
"Quasi" Gao Yang stood up again, holding a wine glass in his hand
"God bless me with the peace of the country and the people, and the generations will come"
A group of officials below followed him and said again, and everyone raised their glasses to drink, and at this time, the sound of the piano sounded again, and the moon drum was even more lively.
