(626) The Celebration Banquet of the Storm and Clouds
Lin Mengyao didn't have time to meet Gu Beichen, because the day after returning from the Lotus Nunnery, the prince returned to the court!
The prince's expedition this time was to pacify southern Xinjiang. Speaking of pacification, in fact, it is just to pick up war merits. Although southern Xinjiang has been unstable for a long time, it is only a few small tribes that can harass and invade the southern border, which is nothing compared to the northern Xinjiang where Han Wei is stationed. In the past, there was turmoil in northern Xinjiang, and the court did not pay attention to the small fights in southern Xinjiang, but Han Wei was stationed in northern Xinjiang for three years, and the ethnic minorities in northern Xinjiang were afraid of being beaten and no longer dared to be arrogant. At this time, the crown prince, who was not favored by the emperor, started the idea of southern Xinjiang, and wanted to use southern Xinjiang to establish military exploits, which won the hearts of the people.
In fact, the prince's trip did make southern Xinjiang stable, but it's hard to say whether this is the people's heart.
The crown prince, at least until this year, was the only son of the emperor and the only person to succeed to the throne. Therefore, it is inevitable to develop an arrogant and arrogant character, which was supposed to leave a good impression on the emperor when he went to southern Xinjiang, but the prince still did not know how to restrain himself - or rather, he understood, but he couldn't. 's consistent temperament made the prince's trip to southern Xinjiang a nightmare for the people of southern Xinjiang. Even if he is lustful and accumulates money, he actually built a lot of construction in poor southern Xinjiang, which made the whole southern Xinjiang complain!
These things are naturally unknown to ordinary people.
However, Han Wei knew, and Han Wei knew, so did Lin Mengyao and the others. The last time we met, Gu Beichen's plan meant to take advantage of this.
Of course, Lin Mengyao and they are not the only group that knows, and the people in the palace who know about it in Jinghua are still the people in the palace, such as the emperor and empress. The empress has pleaded with Emperor Gao Xuanyi for this matter several times. Gao Xuanyi always laughed at it, but he was more and more disappointed in his son, if it weren't for the fact that there was only the prince in the palace, there would be only the infant child left, he would really abolish the prince!
Gao Xuanyi was once sad for the matter of the emperor's heir, and he was sad many times because of the matter of the prince, and he thought more than once that it would be good if he also had a few sons! After Gu Ruyu gave birth to the little prince. He thought again. It's good that this little prince will grow up soon! Lately, however, he has been thinking: It would be nice if my and Qing'er's children were still alive.
But Gao Xuanyi was thinking about something, the prince was back after all. Or a triumphant return. Although he has a lot of prejudices against his arrogant son. Think of the forces behind the queen. After all, Gao Xuanyi reluctantly set up a celebration banquet for him.
Naturally, dignitaries and dignitaries were indispensable at the celebration banquet, but Lin Mengyao was not missing among them.
Lin Mengyao entered the palace for a banquet this time, because of a holy decree of Gao Xuanyi. It's just that. The meaning behind this holy decree, but Lin Mengyao still knew it afterwards - Gao Xuanyi recruited her to the palace for a banquet, I am afraid that it was for Ruan Qing.
Since that meeting, Gao Xuanyi has also gone to the Lotus Nunnery, but Ruan Qing always closes the door. The dignified Ninety-Five Supreme has eaten a lot of closed-door soup, but when he thinks of the debt to Ruan Qing, he can only be stupid.
Curves save the country, Gao Xuanyi thinks so, and Lin Mengyao also guesses so.
The prince's triumphant return, it is a great joy to celebrate all over the world, this celebration banquet is naturally extremely grand, and its luxury Chengdu is far more than the queen's birthday, which is staggering. However, the queen has no opinion at all in her heart, in her opinion, the more grand this celebration banquet is, the more satisfied and favored Gao Xuanyi is with the prince.
At the celebration banquet, Lin Mengyao was very low-key, but such a low-key still attracted ridicule and slander from a group of noble ladies.
"It is said that there is a heart out of the dust, but it is not ...... circling around this prosperous red dust"
"You don't understand this, the shape of the Buddha, the heart of Sister Yao!"
"You're vulgar!"
"We are vulgar, people are vulgar in their bones!"
Although several women did not name names, Lin Mengyao could not know that they were talking about themselves. However, she treats this kind of rhetoric normally, and the two holy decrees are recruited into the palace, which will not be innocent in anyone's opinion.
Lin Mengyao took a sip of wine, but found that a gaze fell on her, and when she looked at it, it was really Yao Zhengxun.
Yao Zhengxun came here, and it was Yao Xiang's decision. There was no male son in the prime minister's house, so Yao Ziwen put Yao Zhengxun, who had already been crowned as an adult, under the name of Dai Ruizhu, and treated him as a son-in-law. Bringing him out like this is kind of letting him see the world. It's a pity. Today, Yao Zhengxun is really not in the mood to deal with those dignitaries, at this moment, he is entangled!
He already knew that Lin Mengyao had met Gao Xuanyi in the Lotus Nunnery, and now that the emperor had given Lin Mengyao a holy decree for the second time, he had to think more: Could it be that this saint really has some unknown secrets with his righteous sister?
Yao Zhengxun frowned and looked at Lin Mengyao, but he just met Lin Mengyao's gaze. However, my heart is entangled.
On that day, he followed Lin Mengyao to the Lotus Nunnery, but he didn't want to be stopped by Jia Yi and brought back to Yao Ziwen. Yao Ziwen was very critical of his behavior, and even strictly forbade him to investigate everything about Lin Mengyao.
Yao Zhengxun still remembers, that day he asked: "That Meng Yao Xu is a fine work sent by the Holy Lord to monitor my Yao family, how can my father gamble on the future of the Yao family?" ”
Yao Ziwen sighed and responded: "She will never be a fine work, and my Yao Mansion will not be a fine work." If you are a smart person, you should learn some ways to deal with people with Meng Yao! ”
Learn from Meng Yao?
Yao Zhengxun does not discriminate against his daughter's family, except for Yao Menglin, the only thing he appreciates is Lin Mengyao. However, in his opinion, Lin Mengyao just has some little wisdom.
What am I going to learn from her?
It doesn't matter what you learn, the important thing is that Yao Zhengxun can't make himself believe in Lin Mengyao!
Shaking his head and sighing to himself, Yao Zhengxun poured himself a drink, and after a few glasses of wine, his brain was a little confused. Get up and go outside, so that the breeze can blow away the chaos in your head......
Not long after Yao Zhengxun left the table, Lin Mengyao also left. It's just that she didn't look for Yao Zhengxun, but followed Gao Qianxun out.
During the banquet, Gao Qianxun sat opposite Lin Mengyao, who had always been uninhibited, was rarely quiet, which caused many people to point fingers. Gao Qianxun didn't care, his eyes were distracted and Lin Mengyao's eyes were met, and after a moment of stunnedness, Gao Qianxun picked up the wine jug and poured it directly, then got up and passed in front of Lin Mengyao's case, and went out.
Lin Mengyao didn't care, but when she saw a purse falling from the ground, she thought it was Gao Qianxun's, so she chased it out.
"You're still here!" Stopping behind a rockery, Gao Qianxun turned his back to Lin Mengyao, with some bitterness in his voice.
"Since you asked me to come, I will come!" (To be continued.) )
