In the evening.

This palace feast, which lasted from noon to night, finally dispersed in the bustle.

Although the process is a little frightening, but the princes and grandchildren raised money together to do their filial piety, the queen mother and the princes and grandchildren, princes and princesses, each got what they needed, rejoiced, and the final result was still very good.

Empress Dowager Shen was very satisfied.

The princes and grandchildren don't worry about it, anyway, they have done their best with the money, even if they can't refine the elixir in the end, it's the little faint marquis who is unlucky, isn't it?!

Chu Tianxiu went everywhere to toast, and although the princes and grandsons were not happy, they did not dare not return the salute.

The princes and princes of the palace, the noblewomen and county lords were full of food and drink, and they were drunk, and they were happy.

Except, of course, for the old fairy Li.

Li Tiantian's old fairy was in a daze, drinking like drinking water, eating delicious food without knowing the taste, and he didn't know how he survived these few hours.

Wait until the feast is over.

He was led out of the palace gate by the old doctor Chun Yuchun, and was blown by the cold wind outside the palace, and finally sobered up a little, and looked back at this deep court, full of fear.

It's clearly a Hongmen feast!

Back then, Pei Gong planted a big heel at the Xiang family banquet, and he also planted a heel at this palace banquet and received a task that could not be completed at all.

In this life, he never wanted to step into this sinister deep palace again.

Chu Tianxiu, with the support of Zu'er and Di'er, left the palace drunk, he and Li Yu were about to get into the carriage, but they saw Li Tiantian's old fairy hesitating at the gate of the palace.

He couldn't help laughing and said: "Old Immortal Li, on the second day of the new year tomorrow, Ben Hou will go back to his mother's house to save his relatives." After two days of leisure, this little dusk Hou went to visit the Xuanwu Temple and put incense on the pillar! Let's also exchange the refining method of this elixir of immortality!

Don't say it, Ben Hou knows alchemy best... There is no one in this world who knows alchemy better than me! ”

"Uncle is drunk, help him up."

Li Yu said worriedly.

Zu'er stuck out her little tongue, and Di'er supported Chu Tianxiu and got into the five-seater.

Li Yu said apologetically to Li Nature's old immortal, "Don't blame the old immortal, the little faint marquis will faint as soon as he gets drunk!" When he is sober, he will go to the Xuanwu Temple to make amends to the old immortal. ”

"Humph!"

Li was naturally angry and walked away.

Yes, yes, Xiao Duhou knows alchemy best!

This Dao is an alchemy professional, and you haven't figured out what the elixir is, so you know everything.

...

The princes and grandsons in Jinling City are filial piety.

However, there are still many princes and kings outside the Jinling Imperial City, who cannot enter Beijing without a will in the domain, but they have not had time to express their "filial piety" to the Empress Dowager Shen.

It's not fair.

Everyone is the son and grandson of the Xiang family, why should you do all your filial piety!

In Jinling City, in the Hongmen Inn, a loyal carrier pigeon "fluttering" flew up from the inn.

It carried an arduous mission, flew out of Jinling City like an arrow, flew over the mighty Yangtze River in anger, and desperately went to the northwest for more than 400 miles.

When hungry, it eats bugs.

When thirsty, it drinks dew.

Tired, it rests in the wind.

Exhausted, the flying pigeon finally arrived at Shouchun City, the jurisdiction of the King of Huainan, and flew down to the Eight Princes Immortal Mountain, where he flew to his loyal master, Xiang Anshi, the King of Huainan, and passed on an important piece of information to him.

Hachikoxian Mountain.

Inside the gazebo.

Well-dressed, dignified-looking, and a middle-aged prince with an imperial appearance, Wang Xiang Anshi.

He was playing the piano, singing heroically, and said, "How can you say that you have no clothes?" with the Son. Wang Yuxingshi, repair my spear! ”

"Good!"

"The monarch is heroic, the ambition is thousands of miles, and the atmosphere is majestic!"

"In today's world, those who have aspirations are not kings!"

Around Xiang An, Xiang Guoque Quan, strategist Wu Liang and other ministers were all excited and praised inspiringly.

Gathered around the periphery, there was also a group of famous Confucian scholars, Taoist priests, and Langzhong.

They gathered around the Bagong Pavilion all day long, drinking and discussing, talking and laughing, commenting on the world, a good scene of scholars and talents.

Xiang Anshi, the king of Huainan, can be described as a clear stream of alien existence among the dozens of princes and kings who were divided into various places in the Great Chu Dynasty.

The other princes and kings were busy with gossip and pleasure.

But he had few great ambitions, studied day and night, and never did anything like a dog or horse safari. has always been thirsty for talents, corporal Lixian, recruiting talented and famous people everywhere, and raising thousands of customers.

This Huainan County is the country within a country of the Great Chu Dynasty, like a backup small court. You can find out what talent you want.

Every day, Xiang Anshi discussed the way to govern the country with this group of guests.

He has learned a wide range of things, and he is extremely interested in everything, which is enough to be proud of all the princes and kings of the Great Chu Dynasty.

He even spent a lot of effort to compile the most magnificent masterpiece of the Great Chu Dynasty, "Huainan Honglie", with his guests, as the foundation for his fame to be passed down forever.

It records Taoism, Confucianism, Yin and Yang, Mofa, governance, people's livelihood, astronomy, geography, farmland and water conservancy... Everything.

Hong, vast also!

Fierce, bright too!

He Huainan King Xiang Anshi, is the natural emperor of the town and the country, the vast and bright.

If all the princes and kings were to be compared, those delinquents would be enough to die of shame in front of him.

If the world changes!

The emperor will be with me!

Xiang Anshi, the king of Huainan, is very confident in this, and has always been who else he is.

This king has learned all the imperial techniques, the swords and guns are ready, and he is waiting for the day, just raise his arms and shout, and the princes will rise up to fight for the opportunity for the throne.

"Boom~!"

The tired flying pigeon flew down on the shoulder arm of King Huainan, pecked his hand, and interrupted Xiang Anshi's heroic singing.

"Good work!"

Xiang Anshi stroked the carrier pigeon.

When the courtiers saw this scene, they were all moved, and the king of Huainan was so kind to the carrier pigeons, not to mention the kindness of their ministers and guests.

Xiang Anshi's face was indifferent at this time, and he took out an urgent secret letter from the flying pigeon's foot.

"100,000 urgent! Your Majesty, the palace feast, the little faint marquis Chu Tianxiu lured the princes and grandchildren to raise 100,000 taels of silver, and asked Li Tiantian to refine the elixir of immortality and congratulate the Empress Dowager Shen on her 70th birthday! The Queen Mother Dayue ordered Xiao Duhou to be an alchemy envoy to prepare for the gift of her birthday. Please refine the elixir of immortality quickly and grab this first prize. ”

After reading it, Xiang Anshi's face couldn't help but change.

In today's Great Chu Dynasty, Empress Dowager Shen is the most important figure in the court. All the other queens, concubines, and princesses combined, are not as effective as Empress Dowager Shen's words.

Emperor Xiang Yanran is a powerful and ruthless character, and he is very strict with the princes. But he was brought up by the Empress Dowager Shen since he was a child, and because of his filial piety to his mother, many things would be obeyed by the Empress Dowager Shen.

Even an incompetent person like Shen Dafu of Shen Mansion, with the shadow of the Queen Mother, can become the richest man in Jinling and the first silk tycoon in the south of the Yangtze River.

The princes and kings of the world naturally tried their best to curry favor with the Empress Dowager Shen, lest the emperor find all kinds of excuses to cut himself.

At the critical time of death, only Empress Dowager Shen can save them.

The palace banquet on the first day of the first lunar month, the queen mother will definitely attend the feast, which is the best opportunity to connect with feelings.

However, due to the ban, the princes and kings could not enter Jinling City unless they were edicted, and it almost became a luxury to go to the queen mother to curry favor. can only often send people to Cining Palace to send things, so that Empress Dowager Shen can remember herself.

Unexpectedly, this little dusk marquis found such a good opportunity, under the pretext of offering an elixir, to please the Empress Dowager Shen. Soaring, just around the corner!

Xiang Anshi was jealous and angry in his heart, "Damn! Above this court, there are all sycophants and traitors like the little dusk marquis! This court will be buried sooner or later! ”

If he is at the feast, will it be his turn to be a little faint marquis!

He has thousands of disciples, a lot of Taoist priests who can make alchemy, and there are eight famous immortals, which is not much worse than Li Nature in Jinling City.

If he was at the palace banquet, he would be the first to propose an elixir to Empress Dowager Shen to please him.

It's hateful, he was actually preempted by Chu Tianxiu, the little faint marquis.

However, fortunately, the elixir has not yet been refined.

The other princes and kings, once they get this news, will definitely try their best to refine the elixir of immortality. This is not an elixir, this is a life amulet.

"Come on, quickly summon the eight great immortal princes to this king to come and discuss important matters!"

Xiang Anshi drank.

Empress Dowager Shen wants the elixir of immortality, and he King Huainan must not lag behind.
