Chapter 437: The Banquet

"Haha......"

Murong Cheng sat on the throne in a brocade robe, and Murong Ji sat on his left hand, and there were a lot of guests, and there were still a few who had not arrived, but he, the host, had arrived early.

"Today, I am fortunate to have all of you to participate in the banquet of this palace, and I invite you to enjoy yourself, don't be restrained."

After Murong Cheng finished speaking, he looked kindly at the few local officials sitting below in Lindu, and finally his gaze fell on the prefect of Lindu, smiling.

The prefect of Lindu was flattered, and hurriedly got up and replied: "It is an honor for the officials to be invited by His Royal Highness the Prince. ”

The prefect of Lindu did not mean to compliment, for Murong Cheng, except for the fact that he was not favored by the old emperor, all the senses were seen with his own eyes this time.

Murong Cheng cherishes his feathers, as long as he can win people's hearts, he can also be kind and harmonious. The people's heart is the biggest bargaining chip on the road to winning the heir, and if he wants it, he will definitely win it!

"Your Excellency, please take a seat."

Murong Cheng smiled kindly, raised his hand and motioned for the prefect of Lindu to sit down, and then said: "These days, I have seen all the adults in this palace who are conscientious and conscientious, and I am very relieved, you are the ministers of my Yan Kingdom, and with you, this is the blessing of Yan Kingdom." ”

Murong Ji listened to Murong Cheng's words, lowered his eyes slightly, and a mocking smile appeared at the corner of his lips.

He stretched out his hand to pour himself a full wine, took it up, raised it to the ministers sitting down, and said with a smile: "What His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said is that the official road is related to the country, and all of you are in the future, after the banquet, I will write to my father and tell my father that everything is fine in Lindu, and everyone will work together, and the construction of the official road is very smooth. ”

Murong Ji intercepted Murong Cheng's words halfway, and in a few words, he indicated that he would ask the ministers for credit in front of the emperor, and for a while, everyone was happy, and they all picked up their wine glasses, got up and moved towards Murong Ji.

Murong Cheng's eyelids jumped, and he turned his head to look at Murong Ji coldly, seeing that he was smiling lightly, as if the person who had cut off his beard before was not him at all.

I really underestimated him before!

Murong Cheng smacked in his heart. As we all know, the old emperor loves Murong Ji, and Murong Ji is even more gentle and polite, without the slightest arrogance, and his temper is too good, which makes people feel like a bully, and he has never shown interest in court politics.

Murong Cheng has never liked Murong Ji, but it is because Murong Ji has occupied the old emperor's love, so that the old emperor only focuses on this son and ignores himself.

As the crown prince, and he is the queen's legitimate and orthodox inheritance, but for no reason because the son of a lowly concubine is pressing, how can he not hate Murong Ji.

The old emperor has always had the idea of abolishing the crown prince, and Murong Ji also showed that he was not interested in the position of the prince, so Murong Cheng relaxed his vigilance against Murong Ji.

But who would have thought that Murong Ji, who had no quarrel with the world, suddenly came up against him, and began to compete with himself for the position of crown prince, and began to feel that he was not a climate, but he didn't want to, Murong Ji had more supporters in the court than he imagined.

Murong Cheng can't take it lightly, he can only speed up his movements, expand his wings, and find ways to make meritorious contributions, so as to stabilize his position as the prince.

The battle between the two had already been clarified last time, so Murong Cheng was not surprised by what Murong Ji did.

At this moment, Murong Ji came out like this, Murong Cheng snorted lightly, and then raised the wine glass in his hand to everyone with a smile, and said with a smile: "Your merits are all in the heart of this palace, and the future of my Yan Kingdom will be placed on you." ”

Everyone was held by the two princes in a row, and they were all a little fluttering, only Zhuo Changqing and the political envoy of Kyoto, who were sitting next to each other, glanced at each other, and then looked at the vacant position on the opposite side, and did not speak.

Ning Zhao had just become pregnant, and the reaction was really not light, the carriage was too bumpy, and the coachman didn't dare to be too fast all the way, so that when he arrived at the palace, he had already missed the time for the banquet.

But Jin Yuan didn't care, he helped Ning Zhao and walked in, and he heard a group of people talking and laughing from afar, Ning Zhao frowned slightly, Jin Yuan observed carefully, caught it at once, and asked worriedly: "Madame, is you uncomfortable again?" ”

Does pregnancy really have to be that hard?

If he came back a few times, Ning Zhao hadn't said anything yet, and Jin Yuan was afraid that he wouldn't want it.

This is too tormenting, it's only been a few days, it will take ten months to conceive a baby, what will Ning Zhao be tossed into at that time, Jin Yuan is simply frightened by his brain supply.

Ning Zhao saw that his face was a little bad, knowing that he was worried about himself, he reached out and patted the back of his hand, and said with a smile: "It's okay, just sit for a while." ”

When Jin Yuan heard this, he hurriedly helped the person and walked over.

The banquet has already started for a while, and everyone knows who got the vacant seats, and no one dares to mention that Murong Chengde is interested, and now that Jin Yuan is finally here, the ministers are also relieved.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince personally invited, if Jin Yuan didn't participate, wouldn't this be a bad deal with Murong Cheng? If this is the case, Jin Yuande's position is worthy of being tasted.

"Lord Jin is finally here!" Murong Cheng saw Jin Yuan and the others coming, and directly got up and walked towards the two, with a deep smile on his face, and his tone did not mean to be angry at all, but made people hear a little close.

"The official is late, and I ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to forgive me." Jin Yuan and Ning Zhao saluted towards Murong Cheng, Jin Yuan looked at Murong Cheng with a smile and said.

"It's okay." Murong Cheng waved his hand and said with a smile: "Good news only came from Lord Jin's mansion yesterday, and it is inconvenient to come to Mrs. to travel, so it is okay to do it later, but this palace didn't expect it to be such a coincidence, it is really hard Madame." ”

When Murong Cheng passed the word yesterday, there were only a few people around Jin Yuan, none of these people were unintelligent, and keeping up was the most basic talent, so Ning Zhao had news of pregnancy, except for those who were present yesterday, others didn't know yet.

As soon as Murong Cheng said this, there was not a word about pregnancy, but after opening his mouth and closing his mouth, Mrs. quickly had a guess when he opened his mouth and closed his mouth.

Jin Yuan looked at Ning Zhao and smiled, he had already discussed it with Ning Zhao yesterday, anyway, others would know sooner or later, why not say it now?

can listen to more congratulations, Jin Yuan can't wait to share his joy with others.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is compassionate, and His Majesty is really grateful." Jin Yuan smiled and said: "Neiko is pregnant, the journey is not smooth, it's too late, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince must not blame." ”

"Hey, what did Lord Jin say?" Murong Cheng made a gesture of please, personally led the person into the seat, and said with a smile: "Madame, please sit down and rest, it's not good to stand for a long time." ”

Ning Zhao was very uncomfortable by Murong Cheng's courteous appearance, she smiled and sat down in her seat.

Straightening up, Jin Yuan also sat down, raised his eyes to look around, smiled embarrassedly at the ministers, and said, "Neiko is pregnant and unwell, so it's too late, I hope you will forgive me." ”
