Chapter 37 The palace banquet Murong Qian was crowned king
The palace banquet is located in the Chengtian Palace, and the Chengtian Hall is a palace banquet specially used to hold banquets, and it can be seen that the emperor is really happy this time.
Lu Wanting is wearing a palace satin plain snow silk skirt today, which was prepared for her by her senior sister, and she always wears a formal order for palace banquets.
When she arrived at the Chengtian Palace, after being led by the little eunuch to her seat and sat down, Lu Wanting looked around, almost all of them were male guests, but there were not many people yet.
It didn't take long for a number of people to come one after another, all officials, who were a little curious when they saw a woman wearing a veil sitting there, and gathered together to discuss.
"This is a palace banquet, why is there a woman present?"
"I don't know, but judging by her dress, she should be the Holy Maiden of the Medicine King Valley."
"Yes, I've always heard that the Holy Maiden of the Medicine King Valley is always dressed in white, wearing a veil and not knowing her true face, could it be that she is too ugly to show her true face?"
"It should be a saint, but judging by her temperament, her appearance must not be too bad. I heard that His Majesty ordered her to heal the legs of the Sixth Prince, but I don't know if she can be cured. ”
"I look at the hanging, the six princes have invited so many doctors before and said that they can't be saved, this saintess shouldn't be cured, but if it can't be cured, it will be a smashing of the signboard of the Medicine King Valley!"
“……”
Lu Wanting only hated that her hearing was too good at this time, but she heard it all, she was a little unaccustomed to this atmosphere, and was about to get up and go out to breathe, as soon as she walked to the door, she saw her senior brother and Chu Yichuan coming towards her, Chu Yuntian greeted him quietly and entered the hall, leaving only Chu Yichuan and Lu Wanting standing there talking.
"Miss Lu, I heard my mother say that His Majesty invited you to the palace for a banquet, but I didn't expect it to be true."
"yes, I just don't know why I'm called at this kind of banquet, a group of men sitting there drinking and chatting, what is my business."
"Presumably Your Majesty has his own arrangements. Let's go sit down first, and we'll talk later. ”
"Forget it, you go in first, I'll walk around at will."
"Okay, but don't walk around, the palace is heavily guarded, don't cause trouble."
"Don't worry, I'll just walk around here, nothing will happen."
"Okay, then I'll go in first."
Chu Yichuan looked back at Lu Wanting uneasily, and found that she was just walking around casually in front of the hall, so he didn't look at her anymore, turned his head and walked into the hall to greet his colleagues.
Lu Wanting walked around a little bored, standing on the corridor looking at the sky in a daze, and Murong Zhan's voice came from behind her, "Why don't you go in?" ”
When he turned around, he saw that Murong Zhan was still in a wheelchair, but he was wearing the auspicious python robe that the prince only wore during auspicious ceremonies or banquets, and the color was still the dark green he often wore, and the whole person looked energetic and radiant.
Lu Wanting smiled, walked behind Murong Zhan, pushed the wheelchair instead of Hua Yang, and said: "It's really a little boring, I only know General Chu and the young general and His Royal Highness here, and I don't know what Your Majesty's intention is for letting me participate in this kind of banquet." ”
Murong Zhan smiled slightly, "I specially asked my father for it, thinking that you worked hard for me to treat my legs, and I was going to ask my father for a reward for you." ”
"It is the duty of a doctor to save people, so why do you need any reward."
"Alright, let's go in first, the banquet is about to begin."
Lu Wanting nodded and pushed Murong Zhan into the hall. At this time, there were already many people in the hall, and seeing Lu Wanting pushing Murong Zhan in, they all had different faces. In their eyes, they almost forgot about the existence of the Six Princes, because since his leg was gone, he had never entered the palace again, let alone this kind of banquet scene.
For a while, there was silence in the hall, and only Chu Yichuan came over to greet Murong Zhan, which broke the strange quiet atmosphere.
"I've seen His Highness the Sixth."
"The young general doesn't have to be polite, hurry up and take a seat, the banquet is about to start."
"Okay."
After Chu Yichuan sat down, Murong Zhan pointed to his position and motioned for Lu Wanting to push him over, and Lu Wanting realized that her seat was next to Murong Zhan, and she thought it was also arranged by Murong Zhan.
As soon as the two of them sat down, Murong Qian, the protagonist of tonight's banquet, came, and all the ministers got up to salute Murong Qian, and Murong Qian responded one by one.
Suddenly, Murong Qian caught a glimpse of Murong Zhan who was chatting with Lu Wanting, he was a little surprised, but he didn't think much about it, and walked towards Murong Zhan with a smile.
"Sixth brother, it's rare to see you attending a banquet."
"The fifth brother finally returned safely, so I naturally want to come."
"The sixth brother's mentality is now calmer than before, presumably it is all due to the Holy Maiden of the Medicine King Valley." After Murong Qian finished speaking, his eyes looked at Lu Wanting next to him.
Lu Wanting stood up and blessed her body, "I've seen the Fifth Highness." ”
Murong Qian looked at Lu Wanting's veiled face, and then looked into her eyes, and the face of Luo Li, the boss of Luo Ji, appeared in his mind, and he asked Lu Wanting: "Where have I met the Holy Maiden?" ”
Lu Wanting chuckled lightly and said, "Your Highness is joking, the folk girl is just a commoner, and she stays at home to study medicinal herbs when she has nothing to do, how can she meet His Highness?" ”
Murong Qian shook his head, and also felt that he had thought too much, "Oh, don't blame the Holy Maiden, it's just that you are somewhat similar to the person I know, so I mistook you for it." ”
"Your Highness doesn't need to care." Lu Wanting is another blessing.
"Fifth brother is the protagonist today, don't keep talking to me here, the banquet will start soon." Murong Zhan always felt that Murong Qian was interested in Lu Wanting, so he hurriedly signaled that it was time for him to do business.
Murong Qian nodded, patted Murong Zhan's shoulder, and walked to his seat and sat down.
After a while, the emperor came with the concubine and the concubine, and all the courtiers got up one after another to salute, "I have seen Your Majesty, long live Your Majesty, long live, long live." ”
"No courtesy." Murong Xuancheng waved his hand and motioned for everyone to get up.
"Today is a banquet for the fifth prince Murong Qian to come back safely, you Aiqing have also worked hard in recent days, you don't have to be formal today, just have a good drink!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
"Old Five, come forward!"
"Yes." Murong Qian stood up and walked to the middle of the main hall near Murong Xuancheng.
"I am very worried about the fifth child in distress, but now that I have returned safely, I finally understand how painful it is to lose my son. I am very pleased that the fifth child is for me and does his best for the court, and I decided to crown the fifth child as the king of An, and I also hope that the fifth child will be safe and secure in the future, and don't let me and Concubine Xian worry anymore. ”
Murong Qian and Concubine Xian were a little surprised in their eyes, and at the same time a little happy, there are so many princes, Murong Qian is the first to be crowned king, which is enough to show that his father values him.
The title is King An, and there is also a wish from His Majesty to Murong Qian, Concubine Xian likes this title very much, as a mother, who doesn't want her child to be safe?
And the ministers are talking about it, none of them thought that His Majesty would give the five princes the title of king in this way, and the crown prince will be crowned king before the candidate is decided, what does Your Majesty mean by this? The ministers were a little puzzled by the thoughts of His Majesty the Emperor.
As for Murong Zhan, his face was a little ugly, but he quickly covered it up again, and he still had a smile on his face, but that smile was not warm in Lu Wanting's opinion.
"What? The old five is unwilling? Murong Xuancheng saw that Murong Qian had not spoken, and the corners of his mouth hooked up with a smile, ready to take back Chengcheng's life.
Concubine Xian kept giving Murong Qian a look, and Murong Qian reacted at this time, immediately knelt on the ground, and said loudly: "The son has thanked his father." ”
A smile flashed in Murong Xuancheng's eyes, "Okay, there will be a formal will to your mansion tomorrow, and it's not too late to thank you when the time comes." ”
After Murong Qian returned to his seat, all the courtiers raised their glasses to express their congratulations, and Murong Zhan looked at the grand occasion on his side, and the fists in his hands clenched and loosened, loosened and clenched. Immediately, he exhaled, pulled up a smile, and said to Murong Xuancheng: "Father, my son also has a good thing to tell my father today. ”
"Oh? What good things do you have to say to me? Murong Xuancheng held the wine glass and looked at Murong Zhan with a somewhat confused look.
Huayang was about to push Murong Zhan to the center of the hall, but Murong Zhan waved his hand and refused, he turned his wheelchair to the center of the hall, and then slowly stood up under the gaze of everyone.
Murong Xuancheng saw his son standing up, and the wine glass in his hand fell off, and the ministers present also widened their eyes with an unbelievable look.
"Sixth, you ......" Murong Xuancheng was a little speechless.
Murong Zhan showed a relaxed smile, "Back to my father, my son's leg disease has been cured, thanks to the Holy Daughter of the Medicine King Gu for the treatment of my son, otherwise I don't know if my son will have the opportunity to stand in front of my father again in this life." ”
After Murong Zhan finished speaking, he took a few steps forward, turned around a few times, and stomped his feet a few times, indicating that he was indeed well.
At this time, Murong Qian's face was gloomy, he knew how outstanding the sixth child was, and then he didn't regard the sixth as a threat anymore, but today, after he was crowned king by his father, he suddenly stood up and told everyone that his leg was fine again, what kind of thoughts he had, Murong Qian knew very well.
thought that after the crown prince was deposed, he would have no worries, and even felt that his father would crown him king first, and the next step would be to become the crown prince, but now that there is a Murong Zhan, it is difficult to say where the position of the East Palace belongs.
Murong Xuancheng's eyes were filled with tears, but he was forced to go back again, he raised his head and laughed: "Hahahaha, good!" All right! ”
Murong Zhan's leg disease has always been a pain in his heart, Murong Xuancheng has invited many famous doctors for him over the years, but it has not worked, after so long, he has also given up, he didn't expect that someone could still heal Murong Zhan's leg, Murong Xuancheng suddenly looked at Lu Wanting who was sitting there, he finally understood why Murong Zhan wanted to ask Lu Wanting to come to the palace banquet.
"The Holy Maiden of the Medicine King Valley, for her meritorious work in curing the leg disease of the Sixth Prince Murong Zhan, reward, one hundred taels of gold!"
Lu Wanting was bored watching the play, but she was suddenly startled by Murong Xuancheng. Murong Zhan looked at her with a smile and motioned for her to come forward and thank her, she put down a handful of uneaten melon seeds in her hand, and silently got up to salute Murong Xuancheng to thank her.
In the second half of the banquet, the ministers gathered in front of Murong Zhan to congratulate him, and Murong Zhan also raised his glass to return the salute one by one. Murong Qian sat in his seat and watched, clenching his fists, this was originally a banquet for him, but Murong Zhan stole the limelight, he raised his head and drank glass after glass of wine, only hoping that the banquet would end soon.
