Chapter 33: The Feast of Eternal Peace
Qiyun, the Imperial Palace, the Hall of Long Years.
"Yun Zhen, it's rare."
He downplayed these five words, without any feelings, but became serious about the military book in his hand.
Li Lu saw him like this, so he didn't dare to say anything, just stayed quietly by his side, waiting for him to finish the book, or have other instructions.
The hours passed slowly......
Red Jacket and Laughing Cream also had a lot of afternoon tea, but Han Que was still full of solemnity.
In the evening, it was because of Qingluo's arrival that he stopped his fanaticism for books.
"Third brother?" Qingluo shouted behind Han Que, and Han Que glanced at him slightly.
"What's wrong? Shouldn't you have dinner at this time? What are you doing here? ”
Qingluo grinned, sat down on the stone chair opposite, held his chin with both hands, very cute and immature, "Third brother, the Yong'an Palace is feasting on the ministers, I feel bored." ”
Han Que lowered his eyes and smiled, slowly put down the book in his hand, and said lightly: "It's a feast for the ministers, my father is also there, everyone gathers together, even if you just eat and drink there, it's nothing, why run out?" ”
"But I just don't like them to praise each other over there, what they say is better than what they sing, and this fourth brother is really, he and the ministers are very close, talking and toasting, looking at me a little embarrassed, I always feel that the third brother is hello, he is here alone, at ease, what he wants to do."
After hearing this, Han Que's eyes sank, and he laughed in his heart, not knowing whether it was bitterness or sadness.
"You'll envy me."
"Yes, I envy you, third brother, if one day I can be like you third brother, I can always go out to play, and everyone will not care about you, how good would it be?"
Han Que looked at his innocent appearance, and there were some words in his heart that he couldn't say.
But he whispered, "If you envy me, what if I envy you?" ”
"No, it won't." Qingluo smiled very affirmatively, "The third brother is not such a superficial person, the third brother is determined to be in the landscape, likes piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, likes freedom and leisure, and does things frankly, how can you like this kind of power struggle and hypocrisy?" ”
Qingluo's words were heart-wrenching, he said it very lightly, but Han Que stopped in his ears, inexplicably felt harsh, and his hands clenched into fists slightly, but it was only for a moment that he returned to his previous smile and smiled at Qingluo.
Li Lu saw it, but he didn't dare to say anything.
"Qingluo, you have the favor of your father and mother, and you are actually very happy."
Qingluo blinked at Han Que's appearance, a little puzzled, "Huh? How did the third brother become so sentimental today? Speaking of which? ”
"Can't I say?"
"Yes." Qingluo laughed, if the stone chair wasn't heavy, he would probably move to Han Que's side, "However, my father also loves you very much, doesn't he?" ”
Han Que suddenly sneered and did not answer.
"Look, what do you want to do now, although it's a little indulgent, but your father has never restrained you, how good are you? Unlike me, I was dragged to study too much every day, I didn't like those, but I liked these third brothers who wrote and painted, and you didn't go to Taixue. ”
If these words come from someone else's mouth, Han Que will most likely be disgusted with this person because this person is deliberately showing off in front of him and deliberately mocking him, and he will not get along with each other, and may even secretly give him some color.
However, the person who said this was Xiao Qingluo.
Seeing that he began to eat his afternoon tea in front of him unscrupulously, Han Que's eyes narrowed slightly, and the coldness in his eyes gradually became obvious.
This seventh brother, he has always been defenseless, indeed, there is only the seventh brother who can do this in front of him, but if the days to come continue, will it be like this between their brothers?
Han Que couldn't help but laugh, it's really ironic, what's the use of thinking so much?
"Third brother, there are big fish and meat at the banquet, I knew that I would bring you some, and I can bring a lot of them in my arms, but I was in too much of a hurry to run out and forgot." He touched the back of his head and smiled awkwardly.
Han Que smiled lightly, "It's okay, it's not that without those big fish and meat, I will starve to death." ”
"Third brother, why don't we go to Yong'an Hall now? Do you want? Going to get you something to eat? There are a lot of delicious food, I don't care, I can't be hungry third brother. ”
Looking at his innocent appearance, Han Que just hooked his lips and smiled, and did not say anything else.
"How? Third brother? To go or not to go? ”
"I think forget it, if I go, it will also provoke the eyes of the minister, and my father will not be happy."
Qingluo immediately stood up, walked up to him, snatched the book from his hand, and said like a child angry: "No! Everyone went, and they ate and ate, but the third brother didn't, this is unfair, although I know that the third brother doesn't like this kind of scene, but if you don't eat, you will definitely lose money, so I want to go to Yong'an Hall again for the sake of the third brother! ”
Han Que raised his eyes to see him swearing so much, he couldn't help it, and laughed out loud.
Qingluo looked at him smiling like this in front of his eyes, suddenly blinked, and asked suspiciously, "Third brother, what are you laughing at?" ”
"Why do I look at it more and more, it was because you were unwilling after you ran out, and you were embarrassed to go back, so you pulled me?"
"Oops!" He staggered, "How can you say that!" ”
Han Que burst out laughing.
"Third brother, let's go, just go eat something and come back, look at you, you haven't moved, you must be hungry, right?" He began to step forward and take Han Que's hand, and he was coquettish.
Han Que got up helplessly, looked at the sleeves that were pulled by him, and chuckled: "The texture of my clothes is not very good, if you tear it off, you will have to pay for it." ”
"What's this? There are many in my house, all of them are rewarded by my father, and there are many concubines there, if you want, I will have people make dozens of sets for you! ”
Han Que snorted and let him pull him.
"Let's go, let's go, go now, it's still too late!"
"Good good ......"
Why did Yong'an Hall entertain its ministers? Han Que thought, it should be that the Heavenly Alliance will be soon, they have some things to discuss, and this is also a convention, since some courtiers are going to travel with Xiao Shenghao, then to ensure Xiao Shenghao's safety, it is still necessary to do it.
This banquet is both a "bribe" and a practice.
Qingluo pulled Han Que in the side door and entered, still timid, feeling a little obscene to explore the left and right in front.
Han Que looked at him like this behind him, and couldn't help but tilt his head and laugh.
"Don't go like this, those who don't know still think you're a thief, the Seven Princes."
"Don't stop my third brother, I can't be found out now, I'll just steal something, you wait for me, I'll bring a few pots of delicious food, I can't be seen!"
"Why can't it be seen?" Han Que looked at the pomp in his eyes and wondered.
"Because if I was seen, I had to be pulled out, like the fourth brother, I didn't want it, so I ran away."
"To put it bluntly, I still feel unwilling because I didn't arrive late, don't you?"
Originally, he was hiding behind the pillar to probe his brain, but when Han Que said this, he immediately bounced, looked at Han Que, and muttered his mouth.
"Third brother, I said that I am not, I want to bring you to eat."
"Okay, okay, then, what do you say now? Are you going to steal it out? ”
"Tut-tut, where can it be stealing? That's called Na! ”
Han Que sneered, and stopped talking, for fear of affecting him.
And Qingluo also aimed at the point of their toast, hid behind the inner eunuch and the palace maid, walked over to his original position, and stretched out his hand to make two plates.
"Hey, the Seventh Prince, ...... you"
"Shhhhh Qingluo suddenly raised his index finger at the inner prison and put it in the middle, with an expression of hatred that iron is not made of steel, "Can you be quiet?" ”
The inner prison was suddenly frightened and hurriedly lowered his eyes.
Then Qingluo took advantage of the fact that they didn't see it and slipped towards the place where Han Que was.
"Third brother, third brother, do you want to drink?" He took the two plates to Han Que with one hand, and at the same time poked his head around and asked.
Han Que took it, looked at it twice, and said with a smile: "I don't have a shortage of wine there." ”
"No, this wine is all the best wine from the tribute, I heard that it was brewed in Youlingfang, it is not ordinary, and it should be different from the one in your long-term palace."
Han Que suddenly raised his eyebrows and smiled, "Oh? Isn't it the same? ”
"Of course, Youlingfang is a world-famous winery, and the wine he brews is designated by the Six Rain Pavilions, and the palaces of the four kingdoms are indispensable to their wine."
Han Que was meaningless, "Lingfang again?" His eyes looked at the pomp and circumstance inside, and he said lightly: "But if I say that the wine of my Changnian Hall is not lost to the wine here, do you believe it?" ”
Qingluo glanced at him and nodded, "I believe what the third brother said, after all, you have also walked a lot outside, that is, don't drink?" ”
Han Que shook his head, "Don't burden yourself, what else do you want, go get it first, and go back after taking it, if you are discovered, you can't do it." ”
Qingluo nodded, and then rushed in again with a dead expression.
This time, he hid directly behind the minister, kneeling directly behind the family like an inner prison, for fear of being seen.
Han Que could see it clearly, and couldn't help laughing, what should he say about this funny younger brother?
Then the minister noticed the abnormality behind him, glanced back, and was stunned for a moment, "Seventh prince, you ......"
"Shhhh Shhhh He was anxious, "General Shu, don't talk, don't talk, you have the best food here, you give me a little, I'm hungry, and then I don't want to stay here for a long time." ”
The middle-aged man had a heroic face, sword eyebrows, and starry eyes, looking cold, but he lived up to the name of a general.
He slowly looked in the other direction, and sure enough, he saw Han Que standing there, also looking at himself.
Han Que just shook his head at him slightly.
He understood, then turned his eyes and patted Qingluo's shoulder, and said with a smile, "Seventh Prince, what do you want to eat?" Feel free to do it. ”
Qingluo suddenly smiled like a child, his face full of joy.
