Chapter 290
Due to the young age of Emperor Shenghe, the visiting emperor was Li Shengguo's emperor, and it was inevitable that Sun Aoting and Chen Jia were present in court clothes when they were received, and the location was chosen in the Tongle Hall of the Imperial Palace.
The three princes of Li Shengguo in Chen Jia's memory always have a melancholy temperament, but when they say goodbye, he is already the emperor of a country, and the melancholy temperament on his slightly furrowed brows has long been gone, replaced by an evil coldness, where is there still the shadow of the melancholy prince back then?
may be to avoid collision with the little emperor, he is only wearing a purple brocade robe, revealing an elegant temperament in his gestures, and sometimes purses his lips and smiles, showing the calmness and domineering of the superior.
He had two concubines by his side, one of whom was twenty-five or sixteen years old, Chen Jia knew that she was the beloved daughter of King Xian, the former lord of filial piety, and later canonized as the princess of filial piety to marry, but at that time, she was married to the brother of the current Emperor Li Sheng, the crown prince at that time.
But after the death of the prince, she was admitted to the harem by the new emperor and named the concubine, the concubine was wearing a goose yellow dress, combing a peach heart bun, a face is delicate and delicate, with smiling eyebrows, graceful when walking, and her steps are Shanshan, it can be seen that she has lived really well in Li Shengguo in the past few years.
The other is the real mother of Li Shengguo, who is also the queen of Li Shengguo, wearing a red palace suit, combing a knife-shaped double bun, with a dignified and elegant face, walking up, but also with good manners.
"Emperor Li Sheng is well." Chen Jia, as the emperor's stepmother, is not easy to greet.
"It turned out to be the benevolent county lord of Shenghe, and I heard that the benevolent county lord is now the emperor's stepmother, and she can be regarded as the mother of a country!"
Li Shenghuang laughed. Chen Jia was ashamed. Chen Jia responded politely.
"It turns out that you are Chen Jia." Empress Li Sheng smiled skillfully, and hurriedly stepped forward to take Chen Jia's hand with a familiar look.
"Empress Li Sheng is well." Chen Jia still looked indifferent, looking at the concubine's complexion. just didn't speak, and said to her: "Filial piety princess auspicious!" ”
"Benevolence, Lord Auspicious!" Seeing Chen Jia calling herself the princess of Shenghe Kingdom, Concubine Fei seemed to have just come back to her senses and hurriedly returned the salute, although if she was really the princess of her own country, she would not need to return the salute to Chen Jia, but Chen Jia is also a special identity now, and politeness is always needed.
"Lone came to Shenghe this time. I'm afraid I'm going to bother the lord of benevolence to entertain you. Emperor Li Sheng looked at the little emperor with a point, in his eyes, the little emperor was young. It shouldn't care about anything, just come out and be a puppet.
"Emperor Li Sheng, this is my saint and the monarch, although both of them are golden bodies. But the courtesy cannot be abolished. Chen Jia's face turned cold. Shaking off the queen's hand without a trace, she saw Emperor Li Sheng's contempt for the little emperor, and her heart was a little blocked.
"I've seen the Holy and the Monarch." Seeing this, Emperor Li Sheng bowed to the little emperor decently.
"Emperor Li Sheng is polite, today you and others are visiting Shenghe, it is an eventful time in our country, I can't accompany you personally, after the state banquet is set up today, it will be arranged by the uncle." The little emperor looked serious. Speaking rigorously, it doesn't look like a memorized line at all. Emperor Li Sheng didn't expect it.
"Yes, Your Majesty, the ministers obey orders!" Sun Aoting also replied decently on the side.
Seeing this, the little emperor said a few more words, and then drove back to the palace, leaving only Sun Aoting and Chen Jia to face the shocked Li Shenghuang, the queen and the concubine.
Seeing this, Chen Jia was ready to take the queen and concubine to the side hall to talk.
"Renai County Lord stays, this time, I want to see the royal sister Ruoyun, I don't know if it's convenient?" Emperor Li Sheng was beating a drum in his heart, and if he didn't know the details, it should be most appropriate to inquire from his own sister.
"Emperor Li Shenghuang came to Shenghe in person, and my second sister-in-law is your sister-in-law, how can it be inconvenient, I have arranged to meet after the state banquet." After Chen Jia finished speaking, Sun Aoting stepped forward and beckoned Emperor Li Sheng to sit down on the seat and speak, but Chen Jia was pulled aside by Empress Li Shengguo and Concubine Concubine and sat down.
"Sister Chen Jia, before in Shenghe, I only knew that you were the first talented woman in the capital, but I didn't know that my sister was so capable, she turned out to be the savior of Shenghe Kingdom, or my father wrote to inform me, I only knew that my sister was able to take away the dragon head crutch, and also led Long Wei to let the Shenghe country turn defeat into victory, and the fight Wuji and Jin An fled in the wilderness, this time I begged the emperor to bring me, just to see my sister, by the way, I want to ask my sister, I don't know if my sister can I have the honor to see the style of the dragon head crutches?" The concubine's voice is crisp and very good.
It's just that the sisters and sisters in the concubine's words are endless, and Chen Jia is dizzy, but Chen Jia finally understood what she meant.
"Renai County Lord, although this palace is said to be the mother of a country, but I really admire a heroine like you, and this palace also wants to see the style of the dragon's head crutches, I don't know if I am lucky?" Unexpectedly, Li Shengguo's queen also came to join in the fun.
"The dragon head cane is being enshrined in the Taimiao, which is really inconvenient." Chen Jia shook his head with a smile, his face unshocked.
"Can't my sister take it for us to see?" When the concubine heard Chen Jia's words, her face immediately became very ugly, but the queen on the side was still well-mannered.
"I'm sorry, there is occasionally Long Wei on the dragon head crutch, for fear of disturbing the Long Wei in the crutch and accidentally injuring someone, Chen Jia can only worship it." Seeing that they had been holding on to the faucet crutches, Chen Jia stood up a little irritably. "Chen Jia also had to arrange a meeting between Princess Ruoyun and Emperor Li Sheng, and retired first."
"Ruoyun, I haven't seen this palace for a long time, and I'll see you in this palace later."
"Okay." Chen Jia agreed and looked at the concubine with her spare eyes, only to see that she seemed to be very anxious, and her two hands kept pulling a goose-yellow handkerchief embroidered with lilacs. "Do you want to meet King Xian?"
"Chen Jia, can I meet my father?" The concubine's eyes flashed brightly, and Chen Jia felt a little unbearable.
In fact, since the death of Chu Xiuyu, King Xian was cut by Jiang Wenhan and placed under house arrest in the palace, and the little emperor did not have much time to ascend the throne, so he was inevitably in the palace again, Sun Aoting arranged for him to restore the title, but he claimed that he was infected with a slight illness, and let him recuperate in the mansion, which was similar to the treatment of house arrest.
Originally, such an arrangement was harmless, but I didn't expect that the daughter of King Xian would come to Shenghe with Emperor Li Sheng. In this case, if King Xian is not allowed to come out, I am afraid that it will arouse the suspicion of Concubine Yu and Emperor Li Sheng.
"Why not. It's just that King Xian is slightly ill, and he is afraid of colliding with the emperors of the two countries so he takes refuge in the palace for a while, and the concubine wants to see Chen Jia, so she can arrange someone to take King Xian to the side hall to see him. Chen Jia thought about it for a while and decided to let their father and daughter meet.
"Great!" The concubine happily showed a girlish and innocent smile.
"Then I'll arrange it and say goodbye!"
"Okay, I'm sorry for you, Lord Renai!"
……
Chen Jia nodded at Sun Aoting. Leaving the main hall, Sun Aoting also came out with him. As soon as the two of them were combined, they sent someone to pick up Ruoyun and King Xian and his wife to the palace.
Thinking about the end of the state banquet. When Emperor Li Shengguo left Shenghe, he could go back to the plains to see Jiang Youchun, and Chen Jia felt a little relieved, but when he thought that Jiang Youchun had eaten such a miraculous pill, he only stabilized his vital signs but did not wake up. Chen Jia was still anxious.
The state banquet is still singing and dancing. It's just that the treasury is not full, so there is no big pomp, under Chen Jia's arrangement, there is still a link in the state banquet where the daughters of the ministers come to the stage to perform, Chen Jia did this to save expenses, but he can have a talent show that can be done, and again, due to the war, many young children have been delayed. It would be a good story if you could achieve a few couples.
Who knows, even in the boudoir, there is a hidden dragon and a crouching tiger. Although most of the programs are only at a level that can be seen in the past, Yuan Kexin, the daughter of Shaoqing of Dali Temple, performed a beautiful dance, in Chen Jia's opinion, this dance is still not as good as the dance of Hailing back then, but it also has a unique charm, not only the ministers are fascinated by it, but even Sun Aoting on the side does not blink.
It happened that the little emperor also sat at the table for a while, Chen Jia and Sun Aoting saw this scene and accompanied the attendants, and the two stood not far behind the little emperor.
"Brother Sun, this Yuan Kexin is really good, do you want me to help you ask?" Chen Jia asked Sun Aoting with a serious face.
"No, I don't like that." Sun Aoting refused, but blushed.
"My ears are red and I still won't admit it." Chen Jia quipped. "Later, I'll go and make peace with Mrs. Shaoqing of Dali Temple."
"Don't mess around!" Sun's warning was clearly not threatening.
"Oh, I see, I won't mess around, I'll come in a very regular way." Chen Jia looked clear.
"Holy and Emperor, can you ask to marry the woman just now? There is still a shortage of concubines in Li Shengguo's harem, and he wants to marry her as Li Shengguo's concubine. Emperor Li Sheng suddenly asked for marriage in person, which shocked Chen Jia and Sun Aoting's mouths.
"Shaoqing of Dali Temple, are you willing?" The little emperor dealt with this matter without stage fright.
"It's up to the emperor to decide!" It's really hard for him to say whether he wants to do it or not. That's the best way to say it.
"In that case, I'm right!" The little emperor actually agreed.
"Ah~no~Hmm~" Chen Jia was about to stop it, but Sun Aoting turned sideways and covered her mouth. "Brother Sun!" 、
"I don't like her in the first place, don't talk about it." Sun Aoting looked at Chen Jia with bright eyes like stars and shook his head, "Although the emperor is young, before other countries, his prestige as the king of a country cannot be ignored. ”
"I see." Chen Jia nodded depressedly, regretful, alas, I knew earlier, I went to choose someone in person, I really couldn't trust the Ministry of Rites, and gave a good beauty to Emperor Li Sheng.
Being able to hug the beauty made Emperor Li Sheng feel good, and he constantly interacted with the little emperor and his quasi-father-in-law, Dali Temple Shaoqing.
"Brother Sun, you said, he has hugged all the beauties, there shouldn't be any more problems with this visit, right?" Chen Jia and Sun Aoting set up seats near the little emperor and used some fruit at will.
"Maybe he came to play, or he came back with his favorite concubine, and he wanted to intercede for King Xian." Sun Aoting analyzed.
"Maybe it's really us making a big fuss." When he saw a beautiful woman, he wanted to take a concubine, Chen Jia compared him with the late Chu Xiuyu in his heart, and suddenly felt that Chu Xiuyu was much better than him.
……
ended the state banquet, in the afternoon, Emperor Li Sheng saw Ruoyun, and Concubine Concubine saw her father, Chen Jia was on Concubine Fei's side, seeing that King Xian didn't say anything excessive, the two just kept talking about the relationship between father and daughter, and they were also relieved to eat snacks on the side, and they interjected a sentence or two.
On the other side, the meeting between Ruoyun and Emperor Li Sheng was much more private, and only Emperor Li Shengguo, Empress and Ruoyun were present.
"Brother Huang, how is the queen mother's health now?" Ruoyun felt that the emperor of Li Shengguo was still his dearest brother and the third prince of the year.
"She's fine." Without outsiders, there was no trace of waves on Emperor Li Sheng's face.
"Then why didn't she come?"
"I came here this time because I want to figure out something, isn't it much better for the queen mother to live in the palace than to run around?"
"Oh, Ruoyun just misses the queen mother a little."
"You can take the kids back to see her, or you can go back to stay." The strange thing is that when Emperor Li Sheng spoke, the queen was silent and didn't say a word.
"I know, the imperial brother wants to see me this time, is it because the queen mother has something to ask the imperial brother to bring to Ruoyun?" Ruoyun is purely here to talk about his relatives, and his mind is full of his mother.
"Ruoyun, how is your relationship with Chen Jia?"
"Brother Huang shouldn't have taken a fancy to Chen Jia, right? She already has someone she likes! "On such a topic, Ruoyun can always give it ambiguity.
"Hmph, I may not like her, but if I can marry her, I am very willing." Emperor Li Sheng's eyes narrowed, what he liked was a delicate beauty, and as for Chen Jia, he never liked her appearance.
"That's not good, she already has someone she likes." If the cloud mouth is straight and fast.
"Well, she's the savior of the Holy Peace now, and I know if I want to come to her! Why do you want to go back and talk about yourself? Emperor Li Sheng pouted. Ruoyun, I want to ask what is the relationship between you and her? Have you ever seen a dragon head crutch? ”
"I have a good relationship with her, but I haven't seen a dragon head crutch." Ruoyun breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that his third emperor brother didn't really want to marry Chen Jia.
"Then can you ask her if she wants to take a look?" Emperor Li Sheng obviously did not give up.
"Your Majesty, just now the palace and the concubine have been talking to Chen Jia, and I want to borrow a look, but Chen Jia said that the dragon head cane is enshrined in the Taimiao, I'm afraid it will be difficult to watch." The queen interjected.
"Brother and sister-in-law, why do you all want to see the dragon's head crutches? Isn't it just a crutch? Or, there is a dragon head on it, hehe, can't you just find a craftsman to make a dragon head crutch to see? "Ruoyun is hard to understand, his imperial brother actually came all the way to Shenghe for a dragon head cane, just to take a look.
"You don't understand, the dragon head crutch once appeared in Li Shengguo, and it used to be our Li Shengguo's thing." Emperor Li Shengguo saw Ruoyun and told the truth.
"What? Is the dragon head crutch our Li Shengguo's thing? But the savior is said to be the legend of the Holy Peace Kingdom for 500 years, and everyone knows that whoever can pull out the dragon's head and crutch for 500 years is the savior! Ruoyun couldn't believe it. (To be continued......)
