Chapter 33: The Celebration Banquet
"Nangong Li, I'm leaving." After washing his face early in the morning, he went straight to the stable and pulled the pear blossom and was about to leave, and when he left, he saw Nangong Li stretching in front of the door of the study.
"Okay." Before Nangong Li finished stretching his waist and closing his mouth, he heard Yan Rong greet him.
"Pear Blossom, let's go." Yan Rong galloped on the horse and walked out with a smoke.
"Xiaohui, Yan Rong is going to the court?" Nangong Li looked at the maid who was cleaning on the side and said.
"Yes, Lord Wang, the general should have gone to the court." Xiaohui looked at her prince suspiciously, isn't this the point in the last dynasty? .
"Do you know when Yan Rong came back yesterday?" Nangong Li asked again.
"When the general came, the slave and maid had already retreated, and if the prince wanted to know, the slave and maid went to ask the gatekeeper."
"No, it doesn't matter."
"Lord Wang, you have already gotten up, have you arranged to wash?" Xiaohui asked.
"Well, you'd better ask the gatekeeper later!" Nangong Li turned around and entered the house.
"Yes, lord."
Upper court
"Long live my emperor, long live, long live."
"Zhong Aiqing is flat." The emperor's majesty is still the same.
"Aiqing, who has this initiation?" Nangong Yan's voice rang out.
"Back to the emperor, the old minister has a book." The Prime Minister left his position, got up and walked to the center, and bowed to the emperor.
"Rong Aiqing, please speak."
"Your Majesty, Mengyang has no national prestige in our country, and the purpose of slaughtering our ministers is to provoke my Daqi, which is a small affiliated country, but I have this bad intention, the emperor, in the opinion of the ministers, if I don't severely punish Mengyang State, how can I make Daqi stand up in the Central Plains and give those small countries a chance."
"What the prime minister said, I also thought about it for a long time yesterday, what do all the Aiqing think?"
"Your Majesty, what the prime minister said is extremely true! A small subject country dares to provoke my Daqi, is it because I have no one in Daqi? Dadu Hu also said on the side.
"Yes, Your Majesty." Many people on the prime minister's side have supported and condemned Mengyangguo.
"Your Majesty, the minister thinks what the prime minister said is inappropriate." Yan Rong came out and said.
"What does General Yan think about this?" The emperor asked.
"Your Majesty, the fact that the people of Mengyang Country harmed the ministers of our dynasty is not enough to make our dynasty send troops to fight."
"Why, do you want everyone else to enter the Great Apocalypse and then make plans?" Dadu Hu said on the side.
"Dadu Hu misunderstood, Yan Rong means that in this matter, there may be a solution that can be solved without sending troops, and if Mengyang Kingdom attacks our country in truth, it will not be stupid enough to use this method." Yan Rong retorted.
"What does General Yan mean to forget about it? Dadugo continued.
"Naturally not, the emperor, it seems that Yichen sent the envoy to find out, if the minister died tragically because of a misunderstanding, and those people were corrected on the spot, it would not hurt the friendship between our two countries for many years." Yan Rong continued.
"Hmph, when did we Daqi become so timid. Sure enough, the woman's opinion of how to ascend to the court. Most of them turned their faces and said.
"Dadu Protector, I think what Yan Rong said makes sense, besides, she is the general of the protector of the country who I personally sealed, do you have any doubts?" The emperor said.
"Naturally, the minister didn't dare." Most of them have nothing to say.
"Your Majesty, Dadu Hu doesn't mean to slander General Yan, he just thinks that General Yan's method is a little inappropriate. So may I ask General Yan, what if you send an envoy to be hurt again? The prime minister said on the side.
"Back to the emperor, how can the prime minister judge that the envoys will be hurt again?" Yan Rong asked rhetorically.
"General Yan laughed, how could the old minister know, it's just worry." The prime minister's face instantly became dull.
"In that case, just listen to what General Yan said, who should be sent?" The emperor said.
"Father, the son thinks that Song Lian, the head of the household department, Lord Song, can take on this important responsibility." Nangong Yu said suddenly.
"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince agrees very much." Yan Rong also said.
"What about Song Aiqing?" The emperor asked.
"Back to the emperor, the minister is very honored to be an envoy, and the minister must investigate clearly and protect my safety." Song Lian walked to the middle and said.
"Okay, then this matter is settled, let's retreat."
"Yes."
The Hall of Inheritance
"Yu'er, I'll leave this matter to you and Yan Rong, don't let me down."
"The retainers obey."
Outside the palace
"General, please stay."
Yan Rong was about to get on the horse when he heard someone shouting to stop him.
"It turned out to be Lord Song Lian and Song!" Yan Rong said with a smile.
"General, I have a question, I wonder if the general can answer it?" Song Lian asked.
"Lord Song, please speak."
"Why did His Royal Highness the Crown Prince choose me?"
"It's not easy for Lord Song to be a household servant, from my dynasty champion to a household servant, the ability of the adult is obvious to all, so the prince will strongly recommend the adult to go."
"But I, that's it, since His Royal Highness the Crown Prince trusts me, I will definitely not disappoint the Prince."
"Lord Song, do you have something to do today?" Yan Rong asked again.
"Nothing."
"That being the case. My Yan Jiajun is going to hold a celebration banquet in Liuxianglou, if you have nothing to do, it is better to go together, just have fun. ”
"Forget the general, I haven't been to that kind of place, so I won't disturb General Yaxing!" Song Lian politely refused.
"Lord Song hasn't been there, so this time I should experience it once, besides, escorting the adults should be prepared by the military department, but Yan Rong has already sent a Yan family army to the emperor to escort them, and this time it can be regarded as letting the adults meet each other." Yan Rong said.
"The general had expected me to stop you." Song Lian suddenly asked with a smile.
"That's not true, but General Ben thinks Lord Song will come with a face." Yan Rong also returned with a smile.
"General Yan is really a smart man!"
"Master Song is the best among people!"
After the two of them praised each other, they made an appointment and dispersed.
East Palace
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, this is a letter from General Yan." One of the guards handed Nangong Yu a letter.
"Bring it."
"Youshi Liuxianglou" is just five words, which is in line with the style of Yanrong. Nangong Yu looked at the note and smiled. And he threw it into the furnace and burned it all.
"His Royal Highness the Prince, is there something important?" The crown princess walked cautiously.
"Nothing, how did you get out? Don't go in and lie down? Nangong Yu asked softly.
"The concubines are tired of lying down, and they want to come out for a walk."
"Okay, Na He'er, you go first, don't be tired, I still have some things to deal with, so I won't accompany you."
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is busy with official business, don't pay attention to He'er."
"By the way, I may go back to the palace later tonight, you go to bed early." Nangong Yu said.
"Yes."
Nangong Yu entered the study to handle official business.
"Why is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince so busy, the Crown Princess is still pregnant, but His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has no time to accompany you." The little maid said on the side.
"The prince has his own things to do, and I don't know why I feel that the prince doesn't seem to like this child." Su He said with a sad face.
"No, you're too careful, I heard Mama say that people with bodies will be suspicious and anxious, so you can relax. Besides, there are not many people in this world who don't marry side concubines like our prince! ”
"Maybe I'm too careful." Su He stroked his lower abdomen, which had not yet bulged, and patted it gently.
Rongwang's Mansion
"Bai Ling, you go to the school field now and tell the military advisor that we will hold a celebration banquet today." As soon as Yan Rong got home, he called Bai Ling over.
"Yes, General."
"By the way, call all the brothers, and say that General Ben invited a famous flower girl in the whole capital, and this matter will be arranged by the military advisor." Yan Rong said again.
"General, you don't need to tell the prince." Bai Ling asked.
"Nangong Li won't talk about it for now, he shouldn't be involved in this matter, besides, I have something to do today." Yan Rong thought for a moment and said.
"Yes, General."
"General, it's time for lunch, and the prince has already arrived in the lobby." The maid said to Yan Rong at the door.
"Okay, got it."
"Let's eat!" Yan Rong sat on the seat and said to this Nangong Li.
"Okay."
"By the way, I'll be back a little later tonight." Yan Rong said while eating.
"Whatever, I can't control you." Nangong Li said.
"What's wrong with you?" Yan Rong noticed that something was wrong with Nangong Lidi.
"Yan Rong, you should know that the crown princess is pregnant now!" Nangong Li put down his chopsticks and said.
"I know."
"Then you still let the eldest brother send you back?"
"You got it." Yan Rong also put down his chopsticks.
"Although I know that you and the eldest brother are nothing, plus you have known each other since you were young. But sister-in-law is different, although you are a general, you are still a woman. ”
"Nangong Li, you're thinking too much. It was arranged by the emperor for the crown prince to send it, and I have already refused, since you and I are already husband and wife, it is impossible for me to do anything unethical. Yan Rong said.
Yan Rong looked at Nangong Li's soothing face and said, "Why, my husband cares about me so much now, and he went to ask the doorman?" ”
"Get out, don't delay my meal." Nangong Li pulled two mouthfuls of rice and said.
"Okay, Lord Wang, eat slowly, I'll go back to the room first."
"Wait a minute, do you remember that you didn't finish saying it yesterday, and you were called away by your father." Nangong Li asked.
"What did I say yesterday?" Yan Rong really forgot, and the matter of Mengyang Kingdom was already complicated, and Yan Rong really couldn't remember what Nangong Li was referring to.
"Nothing? Go back. Nangong Li showed a disappointed expression.
"Okay." Yan Rong left.
"I'm really enlightened by your wood, yesterday it was all in vain, phew." Nangong Li said to himself after Yan Rong left.
"Xiaohui, pack these up, this king has eaten." Nangong Li didn't want to eat anymore, so he went back to the room.
"Lord Wang, there is a person outside the door who asks to see you." Nangong Li was pretending to sleep, and when he heard the maid's announcement, he got up from the table.
"What?"
"Lord Wang, it was Zhang Yu who came to ask the slave to give a letter to the prince." The little guy walked in.
"What's the matter? He finally remembered this king? ”
"The prince said that he laughed, my son-in-law has always remembered the prince, this is not enough for the prince to be free, so I will ask you to go to Liuxianglou for a small gathering, you must come to appreciate your face!"
"I still have a conscience, tell your son-in-law, this king has agreed."
"Thank you, Lord Wang!"
"Xiaohui, prepare clothes for this king, and this king will bathe and change clothes."
"Yes."
