Chapter 322: Hongmen Banquet
Liu Qingfeng disguised it very well, so Princess Ah Lian didn't find out that her husband was different for the time being, and she also liked these two princesses, so Jiang Yingxue handed over the child to herself, and she was busy taking it, and she had never been a mother, and she was afraid of bumping into the child in her hand, so she was naturally very careful, and the whole person's attention was on the child, how could she have the energy to distract from paying attention to Liu Qingfeng.
Princess Ah Lian said: "These two dumplings are so cute, it's the first time I've held them in my hand so completely, it's too heavy, the child grew up like this, right?" ”
Jiang Yingxue said with a smile: "Yes, when I was born, I didn't have any weight, I grew up day by day, and then I looked like us, I was a little adult, and finally died slowly, I never thought about these things before I became a mother, but now I think that they will grow older and older in the future, I feel that this process is very wonderful." ”
The old bully listened to Jiang Yingxue's words on the side, and felt like a father in his heart.
The daughter in her arms is smiling in Liu Qingfeng, maybe it is related to blood, so such a young child, although he does not recognize people, will never lose his natural closeness to his biological father.
Liu Qingfeng couldn't help but rub lightly on the child's forehead, Princess Ah Lian was very shocked when she saw Liu!
She didn't say anything, but she was very flustered in her heart: Why is Liu Qingfeng so close to this child? Even if he likes this child, there is no need to make such an intimate gesture, he is not the child's uncle, let alone the child's father, why is he so emotional?
The emperor stood up all of a sudden, walked to Liu Qingfeng's side with a smile, but in fact, it was for Liu Qingfeng to cover, he took Liu Qingfeng's hand, and then hugged the child in his arms.
"Okay, colt, I see you're tired of hugging you, so I'll hug it myself."
Saying that, the emperor took the child and quickly handed it over to the nurse behind, Liu Qingfeng knew that he couldn't help it just now, and he almost showed his stuffing.
So Liu Qingfeng immediately covered up his embarrassing emotions and looked at the little princess: "It's been holding it for a long time, it's so heavy!" ”
Jiang Yingxue also helped him cover: "Yes, the child is very small, but it is very heavy, and it will get heavier and heavier in the future, I think I, as a mother, will not be able to hold it." ”
The emperor said: "What are you afraid of, Concubine Xi, you still have a nurse, there will always be someone to share it for you." ”
"Okay, princess, why don't you sit down, if you don't sit down, today's night banquet will be boring." Jiang Yingxue said.
The princess has been completely distracted by the child, no longer sad, no longer worried, even the suspicion of Liu Qingfeng this little bit melted in the child's last smile, she walked to her seat, sat down, and generously poured herself a glass of wine, and took a sip.
The sound of silk and bamboo is accompanied by a song and dance, and the food is delicious, so naturally there is no need to say much.
Seeing that the emperor didn't speak, she took the initiative to ask the emperor: "The courtiers have something to say, I don't know why the emperor wants to call the courtiers and horses here?" What did we do? ”
"It's nothing, I know that you are willing to stay, and it is not easy, so I feel guilty in my heart, and I want to talk to Princess Ah Lian alone, and you can discuss the matter with the Dahlia."
The emperor said it was high-sounding, but he knew that he didn't have to talk about the Dahlia at all, their Dahlia had long been ready to send troops to rebel, and at this time they were just talking about playing the piano to the cow, but in order to divert the pressure on the princess's idea, he had to pretend to be so serious.
When Princess Ah Lian heard this, the emperor wanted to talk about this matter, and naturally she was very serious: "The emperor originally asked the courtiers for this matter, how can this matter be discussed, the Dahlia people have always been like the court submission, if the emperor has anything to worry about, he can say it directly, the courtiers know that the emperor is worried, otherwise he would not have proposed it before, and asked the courtiers and the concubines to stay, and the courtiers naturally have a number in their hearts." ”
The emperor nodded: "In this case, the princess has said bluntly, I might as well understand better, I know that the two clans have been friction on the border, but the source of all this is because of the opening of a trade road, this trade road has earned a lot of silver for the people on the border, if this trade road is closed, it will be a harm to the people on both sides, even if there are many contradictions now, it is just a quarrel, it is better than a real war in the future." There are countless casualties, and it is much better, so I also want to make a promise to Princess Ah Lian, can the princess agree? ”
Princess Ah Lian didn't know what the emperor was going to say, so she guessed: "Does the emperor want Ah Lian to promise that he will never send troops to counterattack the court in the future?" ”
"That's right, if Princess Alian can agree, I will be relieved, otherwise when will this fearful end will be?"
There is no end, but when we actually attack the court, you will have an end, the princess thought to herself.
"Your Majesty doesn't need to worry."
A slight smile appeared at the corner of the princess's mouth, as if it was kind, but it was actually sarcasm.
The emperor saw that the princess actually showed a long-lost smile, and pretended not to understand: "The princess agreed, then I feel much more relieved, come, raise a glass." ”
Princess Ah Lian naturally raised her glass, and she had to pretend to be simple in front of the emperor, open her smile even more, and then return to the emperor: "Raise a glass and drink together." ”
In this way, Princess Ah Lian completely forgot about herself and Liu Qingfeng, and thought that the emperor's banquet today was just to talk about the future of the Dahlia clan and the imperial court, as for the private affairs between herself and Liu Qingfeng, the emperor would never talk about it, but she didn't expect that the main event had just begun. The sound of silk and bamboo stopped, and it was originally a song and dance. But those singers all retreated, and the emperor and Jiang Yingxue stood up one after another.
"Princess Ah Lian, donkey, Cuizhuxuan here, there is a great sight, but it is connected to the river outside, please go to the pavilion over there and you can see the vast river, the water on the river is living water, introduced from the outside, the princess may wish to take a look."
The princess was said to be moved, and immediately went to the pavilion with Jiang Yingxue, and sure enough, a great wonder appeared in front of her, when this lake was built, the craftsmen used this as a design to build a dead lake in the palace, and then connected to the river outside.
Therefore, the water comes in continuously, and people can see the appearance of thousands of water rushing in the pavilion.
