Chapter 110: The Dinner Storm
Hang Yidong played a dumb riddle to the prince, and the prince was not angry.
When the atmosphere between the three of them was good, they saw the second prince coming from a distance.
What's going on, all the places coming here? Hang Yidong couldn't help but complain in his heart.
"Yo, His Royal Highness the Prince, Mrs. Xiao, Prince Xiao, why are you here?" The second prince greeted the three of them in a strange way, worthy of being a scheming boss, and as soon as he opened his mouth, he knew that he was an old "yin and yang man".
"Brother Huang."
Xiao Hao and Hang Yidong bowed to the second prince: "I've seen the second prince." ”
"No courtesy."
"Young Master Xiao, we haven't seen each other for a long time, since you last recuperated and returned from your injuries with me, we haven't come back in the past."
Hang Yidong scolded the second prince in his heart for being shameless, obviously Xiao Hao saved him before he was injured, how did it come to the second prince's mouth that he saved Xiao Hao after Xiao Hao was injured, but Xiao Hao Xiao Hao didn't miss the old kindness?
This mouth's ability to reverse black and white is really not simple.
Xiao Hao shouldn't have saved him in the first place, just fled and let him die in the mouth of that group of wolves.
"Thank you for the kindness of the second prince to take him in, this can be regarded as repaying the kindness of the grass people for saving the second prince in the first place."
I didn't want Xiao Hao to lose face at all, so I directly explained what I said, but fortunately, there were no spectators around, and a few people were able to fight here openly.
Xiao Hao refuted the second prince, and he didn't see him angry, but said with a smile: "How can this be done, Xiao Gongzi saved the life of this prince, you must have a good banquet for Xiao Gongzi, it's better to be like this, seven days later, I will specially invite Xiao Gongzi to a banquet in Xiangmanlou, Xiao Gongzi can definitely come!" ”
Xiao Hao bowed to the second prince: "I'm afraid that the grass people don't have this opportunity, the grass people have to follow their father to practice martial arts recently, and they really don't have much time to go to the banquet." ”
Xiao Hao's respectful and polite appearance really makes people can't find anything wrong.
"Huh? That's a shame. If you have a chance next time, Xiao Gongzi must come! The second prince pretended to feel very pity.
Hang Yidong couldn't help but roll his eyes, who is this pretending to be?
But he didn't expect the second prince to see the moment Hang Yidong rolled his eyes, paused, and then continued to smile: "Does Mrs. Xiao have any opinions on me?" It stands to reason that I should have an opinion on Mrs. Xiao recently, the ready-to-wear store you opened has stolen a lot of business, no matter what, you should also leave a way for your peers to live, what do you say, Mrs. Xiao? ”
Hang Yidong didn't know how to answer the second prince's meaningful words, so he didn't speak.
Unexpectedly, the second prince continued: "Mrs. Xiao, how about we cooperate?" All you have to do is give up four cents.
Hang Yidong glanced at the prince who had been standing aside for a long time and had not spoken, someone wants to grab business with you! Don't come out and take care of it yet.
"As long as you cooperate with me, I can guarantee that you will not have the same thing as last time in your future stores."
"What happened last time?" Hang Yidong pretended not to understand.
"It's like a crazy woman going to your store to make trouble."
Hang Yidong's eyes narrowed slightly, and the woman with a red rash on her face was indeed sent by the second prince.
"Thank you for the kindness of the second prince, but the grass people still want to do business on their own."
"Oh, is it? That's a shame. I didn't expect both of you and my wife to reject me? ”
At this time, the eunuch not far away shouted to several people: "His Royal Highness the Prince, Second Prince, Lord Xiao, Mrs. Xiao, the dinner is about to start, please return to the banquet living room." ”
The crown prince and Xiao Haohang bowed to the second prince in Yidong and left.
The second prince looked at the distant backs of the three of them, and his eyes were dark: "Ah, it turns out that he is already the prince's person, this is the last chance I give you, since I refused, then I have no choice!" ”
Inside the banquet room.
In the resplendent hall, the silk and bamboo orchestra plays beautiful music non-stop, and several dancers dance to the music in the middle.
The utensils used in the hall are all exquisite, and the palace ladies have also smoothly served the dishes on each table after many rehearsals.
The emperor and empress sat at the top, followed by the crown prince, the third and second princes, several other princes, ministers, and the families of the ministers.
Everyone enjoyed the song and dance, and at this moment, everyone forgot about the disputes of the previous dynasty and staggered each other.
The emperor, who was originally drinking, suddenly remembered something, and asked, "Where is Mrs. Xiao?" ”
Hang Yidong heard the emperor calling her, and got up: "The people's daughter Hang Yidong participates in Your Majesty." ”
The emperor nodded: "I heard that the boy has left the General's Mansion, you have to take good care of him." ”
"The women of the people obey."
The emperor pondered for a moment, and suddenly said, "In this way, how about I canonize you as a five-grade pleasant person?" How is the title positioning Xiaohua? ”
Before Hang Yidong could answer, an old minister who was still drinking at the bottom suddenly spoke, and said with some hesitation: "Your Majesty, is this a bit impolite?" After all, Xiao Gongzi doesn't have any rank on him, if he is Mrs. Xiao...... Even if she is canonized, Mrs. Xiao is only a five-grade pleasant person, and she can't have a title! Please take back your order! ”
"The minister seconded the proposal."
"The minister also seconded the proposal."
Even the three princes on the side suddenly spoke: "Father, the sons and daughters also feel that it is a little unsuitable." ”
The emperor was a little displeased: "What's wrong with this?" How did the winter girl develop a solution to smallpox? Can you figure it out? ”
The emperor pointed to the ministers below and said angrily: "Why do you not do something beneficial to the country when you are so free, and you stare at the ritual system every day?" Etiquette allows you to figure out how to deal with smallpox? ”
"Okay, it's decided, Mrs. Feng Xiao is pleasant for the five products, and she will make an order on a certain day. Do you have any opinions, boy? ”
Xiao Hao stood up: "Your Majesty, the grass people have no opinion, the grass people believe that even if the grass people don't have a grade now, one day, the grass people will be able to earn a higher life for their wife." Xiao Hao's expression was faint, but his words were very confident.
The emperor laughed twice: "Good boy, I really didn't mistake you!" ”
Xiao Hao and Hang Yidong glanced at each other, and at the same time looked at the emperor: "Thank you Emperor Longen." ”
The atmosphere in the hall has become better again.
In fact, the emperor did this for a reason. The wife of the general of Dingguo often talks about Hang Yidong's background, so he will give Hang Yidong a five-grade edict, which is higher than the rank of many officials in the DPRK and China.
And at this moment, the general's wife sitting on the side of the general of Dingguo is indeed a little uncomfortable, Hang Yidong's woman, who has been by her son's side for so long, has been pestering Mao'er with a dead skin and a rotten face, and the harmful Mao'er has separated from her, and now she has entered the eyes of the emperor and has been named a five-grade pleasant, such a woman from a peasant family, she is really eyeless!
The general's wife was so angry that she drank one cup after another, and soon became drunk.
The general of Dingguo had no choice but to order his subordinates to send her back first.
Before he stopped for a while, the second prince came out to do something again.
"Father, since Xiao Gongzi has such ambitions, why don't you send him to the northwest to deter the Beimu at the border pass? If they heard that Xiao Gongzi was the son of General Xiao who beat them back then, they would definitely be so frightened that they fled in all directions. Xiao Gongzi will definitely be able to complete the task better, and he can also be given a position in the court, you can't always let Xiao Gongzi have a white body, the general's mansion family has a rank, and now even Mrs. Xiao Xiao has been awarded the five-grade command, if this is spread out, won't it make people laugh at our Xiao Gongzi? The second prince looked at the emperor with a sincere expression.
The crown prince and the general of Dingguo frowned at the same time.
The Emperor pondered for a moment, and was really thinking about the feasibility of this matter.
When the second prince wanted to add more fire, the emperor suddenly spoke: "Okay, today is a dinner party, don't talk about the affairs of the previous dynasty, what is there to wait for tomorrow." ”
When the second prince heard this, he was overjoyed, and it seemed that there was a spectrum in this matter.
Hang Yidong took a bite of the mutton on the plate, well, it tasted good, and the fishy smell was not so strong.
Xiao Hao heard the words of the second prince but fell into deep thought.
At the beginning, because the treasury was empty, the local government did not do anything, and only cared about their own pleasure, resulting in the death of countless people in the northwest.
At the beginning, Lord Shen, the head of the household department, also expressed his opinion on this matter when he visited the general of Dingguo, and taught a method to Lord Shen, according to Lord Shen's temperament, he must have handed over this method, but for some reason, His Majesty did not take action.
Those nobles in the court are all moths, they only know how to exploit the loopholes of the court and suck the blood of the court, but they have never thought of using their identities to do something for the people.
Xiao Hao secretly hated in his heart.
Nowadays, the northwest is worried about internal and external troubles, not only drought, but also the northern herdsmen of neighboring countries often come to attack.
No matter what the second prince has in mind, if he can go to the northwest, he will definitely act well and help the people rebuild their homes, so that Beimu will never dare to attack again.
Xiao Hao clenched his fists tightly.
Hang Yidong had finished eating a plate of mutton at this time, she patted the back of Xiao Hao's hand, and said to Xiao Hao with her mouth: "If you want to go to the northwest, then I will accompany you." ”
Xiao Hao's heart warmed, and he held Hang Yidong's small hand with his backhand and pinched it, Hang Yidong knew what he meant, he was saying thank you.
Hang Yidong smiled sweetly at Xiao Hao.
The prince retracted his gaze expressionlessly, originally he was still a little worried about Xiao Hao, but looking at the appearance of the young couple of you and me, he felt that he was really blind to eat radishes and worry about it.
At this time, Empress Cao, who had been sitting next to the emperor, spoke: "It's almost time, let the ladies prepare their talents." ”
Hearing this, the unmarried ladies on the field all went down to change their clothes, in order to wait for a blockbuster so that they could climb any prince.
After all, no matter what, this is also a blind date dinner in disguise.
Seeing this scene, Hang Yidong couldn't help but secretly rejoice, fortunately he got married early, otherwise he wouldn't have come to this kind of banquet at all, wouldn't he have to lose the dead?
