139 Feast
The Qin Palace, in the Kyoto of the Great Wei Dynasty, has not held a banquet since Qin Qiong, the prince of Qin, died tragically on the battlefield with the Western Regions because of the plague sixteen years ago.
Qin Qiong's mother, the old princess who died only two years ago, is also a dull character, and the only grandson next to her is also a stuffy gourd.
The ancestors and grandchildren are both happy and quiet, and they don't like to socialize, therefore, in the past ten years, not only the old princess has not held a big birthday banquet, the current Qin prince Qin Chenghei, although occasionally in the mansion banquet, but are one or two people small gathering, like today, not only the court, all the officials above the fourth grade have gathered in the Qin Palace, and even the scene of the six princes coming has never appeared in the past sixteen years.
The palace used today to hold banquets in the Qin Palace's palace is called Agarwood Pavilion.
The lanterns have long been lit, the bright moon is hanging high, there is not a single star in the sky, and the decoration is extremely atmospheric and elegant in the Agarwood Pavilion, at this moment, the four corners of the roof, the night pearl the size of a baby's fist, all exude a beautiful brilliance, reflecting the warmth of the huge banquet hall.
Although several heavyweight guests attending the banquet today, as well as Qin Chenghe, the master of the Qin Palace, had not yet appeared, the hall was already lively.
The shouting, the persuasion, the jokes, all the high-crowned and well-dressed adults, although they will not make any ugly appearances, they can not be reserved at this rare moment when they can befriend their bosses and colleagues.
One by one, holding wine glasses, shyly stomachs, or sycophant smiles on their faces, bowing their waists and began to flatter.
The main hall of the Agarwood Pavilion was a depraved prosperity, just when everyone gathered in groups to chat, or when the fly camp began to drill the camp, with a powerful and solemn singing outside the main hall, "the second prince arrived, the tenth prince arrived", the officials on the entire hall were silent at first, and then they hurriedly put the wine glass in their hands on the desk, and one by one they were also neat and methodically adjusted the clothes they were wearing, and walked a few steps quickly to the door of the main hall, ready to welcome.
However, as soon as the footsteps were taken, everyone saw that with the dimming of the light at the entrance of the main hall of the Agarwood Pavilion, about fourteen or five years old a year, with a little childishness on his face, a fair face was beautiful and elegant, but with a little unconcealable flamboyant and domineering Ten Princes, and a thin and tall, ordinary face, but calm temperament, wearing a cyan brocade robe, the second prince walked into the hall with his front and back feet.
The Ten Princes are young, and it is said that whether it is based on the moral etiquette of "the order of the young and the old", or the behavioral norms such as etiquette and dignity, righteousness as the criterion of action, etc., should walk behind the two princes, no matter how bad they are, they can walk side by side, however, the scene that appeared in front of everyone was that the ten princes were holding their heads high, taking sonorous strides, walking in front like a master, and the brother of the second prince was like a personal servant, walking behind the ten princes.
The eyes of the ministers or princes and dukes, after seeing this scene, couldn't help shrinking a few times in an instant.
However, the people who have been mixing with your officialdom all the year round have long been accustomed to protecting themselves and pretending to be deaf and dumb, and everyone seems to be blind and didn't see this rather rebellious scene in front of them, so they only bowed down and respectfully saluted the two princes, but no one said a word out of place.
There are six princes who have reached the age of fifteen this year.
It is the eldest prince, the second prince, the fifth prince, and the sixth prince, which is the current crown prince, as well as the seventh prince and the tenth prince.
The third prince, the fourth prince, the eighth prince, and the ninth prince all died early after living for a few years for various reasons, or because of falling into the water, or fever, etc., and went inexplicably.
Among the six princes who have grown up in the Holy Lord, the six princes are also from the current queen, and the central palace of the main throne is orthodox, and the courtiers have no objections.
However, it is also a bit inaccurate to say that the six princes have a queen mother, a foreign family who protects the general's mansion, and the crown prince can be stable.
Just because, among the several princes who have grown up now, the lowest status is the second prince, and the biological mother of the second prince is Zhaoyi, who is the fourth grade.
In addition to the second prince and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, the biological mother of the fifth prince is also the aunt and grandmother of the Anguo Mansion, and the title is Concubine Mu Xian, who is the concubine of Cong Yipin, she is the aunt of Mu Changyao and the county lord of Shaohua.
The biological mother of the seventh prince is titled Concubine Congyide, and her maiden home is the mansion of Huaguo.
The first princess hired by the old princess for Qin Chenghei was the youngest daughter of the Huaguo Mansion and the youngest sister of Concubine De. It's a pity that the girl's life is thin and she can't enjoy great blessings.
The eldest prince and the tenth prince are brothers of the same mother, and their mother is also one of the four concubines, and their maiden family is the Weiguo Mansion.
Wei Shufei is a real favorite, and she is beautiful and has good means.
Not to mention being one of the four concubines, she is still the only one among all the high-ranking women and even all the concubines in the palace who gave birth to two princes for the Holy Lord.
And so far, among these two princes, the eldest prince has military merits and is very valued by the saints; The youngest son, the Ten Princes, don't look down on it and be arrogant, but he will pretend to be obsessed in front of his father and the emperor, so no matter how big a mistake he makes, he can get the emperor's extra leniency.
Because the ten princes were spoiled by Concubine Wei Shu, they made mistakes and were protected by Emperor Hongyuan today, and now they are completely crooked.
However, in the past, the Ten Princes were just scolding dogs and bullying people in the capital, but now they all treat the Second Prince as a small servant, and what the ministers are thinking about now is not how outrageous and unorthodox the Ten Princes' move is, but: Could it be that the mother of the Second Prince, Ruan Zhaoyi's maiden family, that is, the Pingyang Bofu in the capital, has now started a team?
And the team they are standing on is not the prince's, but ...... The Great Prince's?
Since ancient times, the prince who didn't want to be the emperor was not a good prince, and the princes in front of Emperor Hongyuan were all high-born, hard-born, and capable, and they were not bad, they were disease-free and had no defects, and now they are all old, if they say that they have no idea about their father's buttocks, the dragon chair has no idea, and the ghosts don't believe it!
Seize the heir or something, as long as the feudal dynasty still exists, as long as the desire in the heart of the person. If the hope is not extinguished, such a campaign will never stop.
Just when everyone was trying to analyze the meaning of the Ten Princes and the Second Prince's move, the Ten Princes rushed in front of the Second Prince, said "No courtesy", and let the ministers get up.
The brilliance under the night pearl was warm and clean, and the smile on the faces of the ten princes was a little stiff and false, which made people laugh.
is a hairy boy who has been spoiled, and the tenth prince still wants to pretend to be a polite corporal, humble and approachable in front of all the old foxes who have been in the court all the year round, but he is simply too wronged by him.
However, it should be flattered, and all the ministers and princes and dukes will not be stingy, and they all show a good face in front of the ten princes.
The Ten Princes are very sΓ¨, and the flamboyance, arrogance and complacency from the bones are unconsciously revealed. He also wanted to try to brush his favorability in front of everyone when the rest of his elder brothers had not yet arrived, but who knows, just when he was about to speak with a smile on his face, the little guy who was in charge of the report outside the hall sang loudly and said: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has arrived, the fifth prince has arrived, and the seventh prince has arrived." β
The friendly smile on the face of the Ten Princes instantly stiffened on his face, and his eyes flashed with a hideous and ruthless and annoyed look, although that look was fleeting, and the ministers who always paid attention to the Ten Princes' every move also noticed it.
However, at the moment, everyone is also looking at their noses and noses, making it look like they have found nothing.
They have long since learned to behave. also knows that if you are worried about a hairy child, is it too leisurely?
The Ten Princes stood up, straightened the brocade robe on their bodies, and then said in a loud voice in the silence of the hall: "Everyone, let's go with this prince to greet His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the two royal brothers." β
The ministers of the palace hurriedly responded, and then under the leadership of the ten princes, they stood in line at the entrance to the palace.
Under the light of the lantern wrapped in red veil, when he saw the three highnesses who had already come closer, he also quickly knelt on the ground and saluted.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has a long face, a high nose and bright eyes, and the appearance of being eighteen or nineteen years old, very handsome. Because he has been cultivated as a prince since he was born, his every move is very dignified, and he let everyone get up with a smile on his face, and the gentle and kind smile on his face made the ministers sincerely afraid.
Among all the heirs of the saint, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince looks almost exactly the same as Emperor Hongyuan when he was young, delicate, gentle, and courteous, no wonder in recent years, the Holy Lord has become more and more satisfied with His Royal Highness the Prince.
Following behind the crown prince, the two highnesses who are about the same height, on the left are the five princes from Concubine Mu Xian, and most of their looks follow his mother.
Especially a pair of phoenix eyes, the eyeliner is narrow and long, the tails of the eyes are slightly raised, and when you laugh, it is a little seductive and a little bad, but if you deliberately make a serious appearance with a straight face, the five princes are also very capable of bluffing. Yan sΓΉ's serious face makes people dare not look directly.
Standing on the right behind His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is the Seven Princes from Concubine De. A humble gentleman, elegant and gentle, coupled with literary style, a good Danqing, and a courteous corporal, the Seven Princes have always had a good reputation among the literati.
The ministers got up in the gentle smile of the prince, and His Royal Highness the prince glanced at the people who were standing a few times, although he didn't expect to see the figure of that person, he asked Mo Wu who followed behind him with some irony: "What about your prince?" But haven't come here yet? β
Mo Wu screamed twice, and in the end, he arched his hand to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince with tears and laughter, and said "Yes, yes".
Mo Wu was so aggrieved that he almost cried.
The Qin Wangfu held a banquet, but the master had a temper and refused to come out to entertain, and now even the prince is here, and he has not yet appeared as the host, which is just, just ...... It's so capricious!
Mo Wuzheng was speechless, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was shaking his head and laughing, who knows, at this time, there was a report from outside the door, and a shout was extremely excited, "The prince has arrived~" R1152
