"The people of Xiliang have the meaning of harmony, and the banquet depends on the situation, of course, the people who come to the banquet are the daughters of important ministers, and the emperor will definitely be able to gain something."

The concubine smiled and said with a smile in her tone, as if his son would be able to get the favor of those important ministers and concubines tonight, and even listed many people as candidates, and her heart was clearly revealed.

"The child knows, and the child will live up to the expectations of the mother."

Xiao Yihe, the second prince, who understood the meaning of the concubine, said lightly, with a trace of imperative in his eyes.

"Although I don't know what the purpose of the Qin envoy's visit is, I should be careful." After thinking about it, the concubine replied.

"Yes, the child knows." Xiao Yihe nodded when he heard this.

"Okay, this time is very important, go down and prepare first."

The concubine glanced at the emperor in front of her and said with a light smile.

"The boy is gone."

Xiao Yihe responded, and after a salute, he walked to the outside of Yonghe Palace.

Looking at the back of the emperor's departure, the concubine was a little distracted, and then glanced at Bai Zhi beside her and said: "Right now, that person is very important, don't make mistakes, and make sure that person is safe in the dark room." ”

"Yes, the slave knows."

Bai Zhi responded and looked solemnly at the master in front of her.

Your Majesty, the choice of the concubines is all in your hands, if you insist on favoring the prince, then don't blame the concubines for being ruthless......

The concubine looked out the window, her expression was inexplicable, and she had a lot of thoughts in her heart, and finally fixed on her own emperor, and finally strengthened her thoughts.

"Alright, let's go down and prepare, lest that slut steal the limelight tonight."

After thinking for a while, the concubine suddenly got up and said to Bai Zhi.

"Yes, sissy."

……

King Qi's mansion, in the main house, King Qi, who got down early in the morning, was sitting upright in the house, holding a white son in his left hand and a black son in his right hand, playing alone.

I saw him wearing a navy blue dress, and a crystal clear jade wrench on his thumb, which was of high quality and priceless.

The battle between black and white and white on the chessboard had already reached a critical moment, but King Qi was still calm, thinking, and then placed a white piece, and after thinking about it for a long time, he twisted a black piece in his right hand and fell.

Suddenly, Bai Zi seemed to have the upper hand, but in fact, after the black son fell, he was cut off in an instant, and he was suddenly defeated.

The winner is decided.

Kuroko used a small part of the interests as bait to lure the enemy deeper, and the last move completely cut off Baizi's way of life.

The battle on the chessboard did not affect King Qi's expression, it seemed that in his heart, Kuroko's victory was predictable, and he successfully crushed Baizi to the ground.

No matter what the current situation is, it is just the bait released by this king, and the ending of this king will definitely be like a sunspot on this chessboard, winning the final victory, as for those who stand in the way, kill them!

"Lord Wang, everything is done."

At this moment, the butler of the Qi Palace's mansion hurriedly arrived and said with a respectful expression.

"Well, by the way, what about Enshi?" King Qi unhurriedly put away the sunspots one by one, put them in the chess bowl, and asked without raising his head.

"Back to the prince, the prince

I went out this morning and haven't returned home yet. The butler said respectfully.

"The banquet is about to go, why did you leave the house without permission?" Hearing this, King Qi frowned slightly.

The housekeeper lowered his eyes and said, "Before the prince left, he said that he would return to the house at noon, and the direction in which the prince went should be the teahouse, that is, heaven and earth." ”

"King Rong's estate?" King Qi paused and said.

"Yes, my lord, the prince got the news that the envoys of the southern kingdom have often gone to the teahouse these days, and the old slave thinks that he should go to meet those people."

"Okay, the prince came back and asked him to come to the king, understand?"

"Yes, lord."

At this time, King Qi had already put the black and white children into the chess bowl, looked at the chessboard in front of him, looked inexplicable, pondered for a long time, and then said: "Okay, go down." ”

The butler bowed as he said, and then bowed out of the room.

……

In heaven and earth, in the private room on the east side of the second floor, a group of people are gathering in a small group.

Listening to their unfamiliar tones, you can tell that these people have not known each other for a long time.

One of them spoke to a young man dressed in a blue brocade suit.

The person in this cyan brocade suit is the Yuanzhi in the mouth of the King of Qi, that is, the most favorite son of the King of Qi, the son of the King of Qi, Xiao Yuanzhi.

And sitting opposite him were two men and two women, respectively, His Royal Highness Nangong Han, the second prince of Nanlinguo, the leader of this trip to Nanlinguo, and the two girls sitting next to him were Nangong Yuran and Nangong Yanran.

The other man is the son of Zhenbei of Xiliang Kingdom, Yan Fan.

And sitting next to Xiao Yuanzhi was his friend, Wang Yu, the son of the Marquis of Chishui in the Xia Kingdom.

At this time, a group of six people were chatting casually, and of course there were also admiration for heaven and earth.

Listening to the praise of the people of Xiliang to the teahouse, Xiao Yuanzhi frowned almost invisibly, and then covered it up quietly, before he followed: "This heaven and earth is the property of the God of War King Rong, and it is not ordinary. ”

This sentence, at first glance, sounds like a compliment, but if you listen carefully, you can know that this is undoubtedly a hatred for King Rong.

The four kingdoms all knew that Gu Liangchuan, the god of war, was in the Xia country, and the other three kingdoms couldn't please him, but at the moment, Xiao Yuanzhi boasted about King Rong's industry, but they frowned, and subconsciously lowered it by two points.

Seeing this, Xiao Yuanzhi was extremely satisfied.

He didn't know why his father was willing to let go of his power to be an idle prince, and even kept quiet in court affairs, and his sense of existence was extremely low.

He understood all this as the emperor's jealousy, so he set aside his father's real power, and even asked his father to claim that he did not seek fame and fortune, and just wanted to be an idle prince and enjoy himself all his life.

Yes, he has long been unhappy with his father's suffering, why, his father is the emperor's own brother and mother's compatriot, why does he still treat his father like this?

And this time, he came out to heaven and earth to meet the envoys of the southern kingdom in advance, just to grasp a chance or two for his father.

For this, King Qi had already expected this, which was why he did not let the housekeeper forcibly call his son back to the house.

King Qi thought to himself, just now

His son didn't know anything about the preparations he made, and it was not too late to tell him when he succeeded, yes, Xiao Yuanzhi always thought that his father was really willing to be mediocre over the years, so that he didn't take any action.

In fact, his father had made some preparations without his knowledge, including secretly planning and plotting many things before, but he didn't know all of them.

"The prince of your Xia Kingdom is really capable and hardworking."

It was Nangong Yanran who said this, she and Nangong Hao's mother, her personality is similar, and her mind is outstanding, but before the defeat of Nanlinguo, her royal brother as the commander was also snubbed by her father, so for King Rong, no matter how powerful he is, he still has a sense of disgust for him.

"Princess Yanran has won the prize." Xiao Yuanzhi smiled lightly, and was quite satisfied with his behavior in his heart.

The group chatted for a while, and Yan Fan, the prince of Zhenbei on the side, said: "Your Highness, the hour is not early." ”

The vague reminder finally brought this inexplicable gathering to an end, Nangong Han got up and said: "Prince of Qi, the main hall has to go back to the post station to prepare for the banquet, so I won't stay longer and say goodbye." ”

"There will be a date later."

Subsequently, Nangong Han took people back to the post station, and after bringing a congratulatory gift to the Emperor of Xia, the group rushed to the palace.

……

Prime Minister's Office.

Prime Minister Su Lie took the family members in the house and was about to get into the carriage and go to the palace, Su Xiang and his wife shared a carriage, and Su Ruizhou and his younger brother Su Rui also took another carriage and followed their parents' car.

……

"Brother, when will you take me to see the Zhuangzi that you are cooperating with the county lord?"

In the carriage, Su Rui, the second son of the Prime Minister's Mansion, also looked at his brother beside him curiously.

"Do you know what the Master taught?"

Su Ruizhou chuckled, his tone was gentle, elegant and handsome, avoiding his questions, but asking him about his homework.

Hearing this, Su Rui also nodded proudly and said, "You have taught me everything that the master taught, I would have known it a long time ago." ”

Seeing his younger brother like this, Su Ruizhou couldn't help but smile, and secretly thought in his heart: Rui Yi has a good learning ability, but he is still young, and his temperament is still a little jumpy, after all, he is still young.

Thinking like this, Su Ruizhou closed the book in his hand, looked at him and said, "Okay, when will you take a break and take you there for my brother." ”

"Thank you, brother."

Hearing this, Su Rui also looked at him or two, and suddenly said excitedly.

……

As time passed, the ministers in the capital arrived at the palace with their families, and the envoys from the other three kingdoms also entered the palace at this time and were led to the Guanghua Hall by the chamberlains.

Guanghua Hall is the palace specially used to hold various palace banquets in the Xia Kingdom, it covers an extensive area, the glazed tiles shine brightly in the light of the sun, everyone enters the palace gate, passes through the long palace road, and then passes through many rockeries, lotus ponds, pavilions and pavilions, before coming to the front of the Guanghua Palace.

When everyone was seated, soon the eunuch's shout came from the gate of Guanghua Palace: "The emperor has arrived." ”

Suddenly, the ministers waiting in the Guanghua Hall all got up, and then walked respectfully towards the face

Come, the emperor wearing a bright yellow dragon robe saluted and said: "See the emperor, long live the emperor, long live long live." ”

Among the crowd, there are two groups of people who are particularly obvious, one of them is the envoy of the Three Kingdoms on the envoy's seat, and when he saw the emperor of Xia Guo arrive, he just made a gesture.

The other group of people is the four people of the Rong Wangfu.

Yes, King Rong Gu Liangchuan has made great achievements, and the emperor has allowed him to be exempted from kneeling and bowing, and even the three sisters and brothers of Jingxi can not have to kneel and bow.

Yes, in the Guanghua Palace, Jing Xi stood on the side of his father, and his two younger brothers stood on the other side, saluting to the emperor.

When the emperor in the dragon robe sat down, everyone sat down one after another.

At this time, in the Guanghua Palace, on the top steps, the emperor sat on the dragon chair, and on the emperor's side, were the concubines of the harem, sitting in order according to the rank of the concubines.

For example, now the concubine and the concubine De share the phoenix seal, the two are of equal status, each on the emperor's side, and then there are concubines such as Concubine Liang, Concubine Yun, Concubine Dai and other concubines who gave birth to the emperor's heirs, and then there are some concubines of lower grade.

As for the right, it is headed by the crown prince, on the side are the royal relatives such as King Rong and King Qi, and below are the ministers such as the prime minister.

The envoys of the Three Kingdoms will sit on the left side. Compared to the large number of people on the right, it is indeed insignificant.

Fortunately, the Guanghua Hall itself is used to hold palace banquets, and there are many seats, so there is no need to worry about it at all.

The ladies were behind the ministers, and after the emperor's customary opening remarks, the banquet officially began.
