Chapter 112: The Palace Night Banquet
Shengjing.
King Ning's Mansion was as deserted as ever.
"Eldest princess, King Ning's Mansion has arrived."
The maid's sweet and soft voice sounded in the cold street.
A pair of hands slowly appeared on the carriage to open the window, and a dignified and charming face was revealed, she looked at the closed door of King Ning's Mansion deeply, and for a while, a touch of anger suddenly crossed her face.
"Enter the palace!"
The maid beside her saw that the princess seemed to be angry, and hurriedly spoke, "Princess Chang, today is Chinese New Year's Eve, and I think Wang Ye should attend a banquet in the palace." ”
"You don't have to say more!" The woman known as the eldest princess looked at the mansion of King Ning's mansion with great complexity, and finally closed the window again, closed her eyes, and her voice revealed a trace of exhaustion, "Enter the palace." ”
The group of cars quietly left the gate of King Ning's mansion.
The back garden of King Ning's mansion.
"General, the eldest princess seems to be gone."
Tang Shouli stood aside, his delicate peach blossom eyes full of indifference.
Gu Qi held the jasper cup slightly in his hand, he gently shook the wine in the cup, the mellow and intoxicating aroma of wine overflowed, he raised his chin towards Tang Shouli, and said, "Here are you and me, what else is the general, sit down, today is Chinese New Year's Eve, drink two glasses with me." ”
"General, your body"
"Long-winded! I know how my body is, it's just a little cold, as for you all day? ”
Tang Shouli could only sit down, picked up a wine glass, poured himself full of wine, and then put the cup on the tip of his nose and sniffed, and couldn't help but praise, "Good wine!" ”
"Naturally, it's good wine," Gu Qi drank all the wine in the cup, "The pear blossom brought by Ku Hui from the Arctic Land sighs, there are only five jars in total, you don't want to fight any ghosts." ”
Tang Shouli shook his head, with a faint smile in his eyes, "Although this wine is good, it is too cold." It is better for the general to drink less. ”
"Come less!" Gu Qi glanced at him, took the wine jug with his hand, and filled it again, this time, he drank slowly.
"When do you think Your Majesty is going to summon me this time?"
He squinted. Looking at the swaying water in the jasper cup, a touch of drunkenness slowly rose on his elegant face.
Tang Shouli shook his head, "In previous years, as soon as the eldest princess entered the palace, His Majesty would inevitably summon the prince into the palace, but this time" he wanted to say and stopped.
"What's wrong this time? Gu Qi raised his eyebrows and looked at him. "But it doesn't hurt to say it." ”
"This time, His Royal Highness the King of Jin has returned to Shengjing, this is the first time in seven years, compared to the Ning Palace, of course, His Majesty is more concerned about the movements of the King of Jin, so it is difficult for His Majesty to have time to summon the prince tonight."
"In this way, it's time to thank King Jin" Gu Qi glanced at Tang Shouli with a smile.
Tang Shouli drank the wine in the cup as usual.
The wind at night was as cold as blowing into the bones, and a glass of wine began to warm up from the dantian.
"King Jin has entered the palace?"
Gu Qi narrowed his eyes slightly and got up. Looking at the golden splendor not far away.
His white brocade clothes were brighter than the snow on the ground, and his hair was darker than the night sky.
Tang Shouli also stood up and looked in the direction of Gu Qi, "His Royal Highness King Jin suddenly entered Beijing, which will naturally cause turmoil in the government and the opposition, Your Majesty bears the brunt, this night banquet is a good opportunity to try, as for why His Royal Highness the King of Jin agreed, his subordinates do not know." ”
"You don't know, but I can guess." Gu Qi looked at Tang Shouli meaningfully, and said with a smile, "Since King Jin wants to leave Shengjing, he naturally can't let others be suspicious before leaving. ”
"Leaving Shengjing? His Royal Highness King Jin didn't just come back. And why-"
Tang Shouli suddenly paused, he raised his head and stared at Gu Qi in surprise, "Jiangnan? Yue'er? ”
"That's right!" Gu Qi turned around, put the wine glass down casually, and looked at Tang Shouli with a smile, "Maybe you will be able to meet your little niece soon." ”
"His Royal Highness the King of Jin, this is really," Tang Shouli was suddenly silent.
"Not surprisingly. King Jin will leave tonight, on Chinese New Year's Eve, the entire Shengjing guards will be relaxed, and King Jin wants to go out of Beijing without knowing it, it is really the best time. ”
At this moment, colorful fireworks exploded in the direction of the palace, and it was almost possible to imagine the laughter and laughter over there, Gu Qi raised his head and looked at the sky, his eyes narrowed slightly.
"Who is on duty in the patrol battalion today?"
"General Hui, it's Deputy Commander Xiao."
"That's right," Gu Qi smiled and put the jasper cup in his hand on the table, "Send someone to inform Xiao Yanqing that he is ready to enter the palace at any time." ”
Tang Shouli nodded, and his eyes fell on the palace not far away-
"It's out of the water! Walk the water! ”
A fire suddenly burst out on the west side of the Taihe Palace, and the palace maids and eunuchs were so frightened that they couldn't protect their bodies.
"Someone, put out the fire!"
"Go and inform Your Majesty and Niangniang!"
“”
Gao Yide kept wiping his sweat on his face with a silk handkerchief, and he looked anxiously at the fire that suddenly rose in the west hall, "What's going on!" How could it suddenly catch fire? You bunnies, Your Majesty knows, but you have a good time! ”
"High and easy to obtain."
Emperor Jingfeng's calm and powerful voice suddenly sounded behind him, and Gao Yi was so frightened that he didn't have time to pick up the silk handkerchief in his hand when he fell to the ground, and hurriedly knelt down, "Your Majesty, this fire is getting bigger and bigger, please stay away for the time being!" ”
Behind Emperor Jingfeng were the equally anxious ministers.
Good Chinese New Year's Eve, actually went crazy, who is so bold and dares to be presumptuous in the palace!
Emperor Jingfeng glanced at the direction of the west hall and asked Gao Yide, "Who lives there?" ”
"Back to Your Majesty, it should be the residence of the princess of the northern kingdom. The queen mother left the princess in the palace for a banquet a few days ago, who knew that such a thing would happen? ”
"Don't go and save people!" Emperor Jingfeng's face was pale, and he was so angry that he paced back and forth in place, the death of the princess of the northern kingdom was small, and it would not be good if it caused a dispute between the two countries, "What about the forbidden army of the palace!" Why haven't you rescued people yet?"
"Back to Your Majesty, this, this minion doesn't know"
"Rubbish!"
At this moment, a group of people rushed over from not far away, Xiao Yanqing was lightly armed, and his face was full of anxiety, "Weichen is late to save the car, please forgive your majesty!" ”
Emperor Jingfeng was furious, and he didn't have time to see who the young man was, "Patrol battalion? Go to the West Temple to put out the fire! Bring back the princess of the northern kingdom to me intact! ”
"Subordinates obey."
Xiao Yanqing hurried to the west hall with people.
Emperor Jingfeng's face finally improved a little, and he asked Gao Yide beside him, "That was the eldest prince of Dingguo just now?" ”
"Your Majesty is right, it is indeed the eldest prince of the Dingguo Mansion."
"Isn't he patrolling the camp, why did he suddenly enter the palace?" Emperor Jingfeng's eyes darkened.
The guards of the palace were guarded by the Forbidden Army, and the patrol battalion only patrolled the perimeter of the palace.
"Your Majesty forgot? Today, Dingguo Gong also entered the palace, thinking that the eldest prince saw the fire in the palace, so he was in a hurry to bring someone to rescue him. ”
Emperor Jingfeng nodded, his face softened slightly
"Seventh brother, do you know what's going on outside?"
King An looked at King Jin beside him with a smile. (To be continued.) )
