Chapter 96 Drunkenness
Just when everyone was frightened and didn't know how to change the topic, the emperor slowly picked up the wine glass, took a sip of it himself, and put it down.
"Zhan Cheng's behavior today is really inappropriate, and it violates the law of etiquette, so he will be punished for being grounded for three days from tomorrow. Alright, you can go ahead. ”
Shangshu of the Criminal Department is an old man, and when he heard the prompts of others, he suddenly realized, quickly wiped his sweat, took out a one-foot-thick fold and began to chatter.
Except for the emperor listening carefully, it is estimated that everyone present is not thinking, but thinking about other things. What is this? I'm afraid that the old general is the mastermind, why did he suddenly want to be grounded in Prince Jin?
I can't figure it out, forget it, the emperor's housework, I'm afraid these two princes are really unpleasant, after all, the emperor has favored the prince for many years, and everyone knows it.
"Hey, Lord Ye, why don't you drink, oops! Why are you still sweating on this cold day? ”
When Ye Shangshu heard this, he quickly wiped his forehead and said with a smile: "It's okay, it's okay, I was a little anxious to drink that glass of wine just now."
Suddenly, I don't know who put forward a sentence: "Prince Jin does not have an exact position in Beijing, and the war in the northwest is tight now, and it just so happens that the inspector has an accident a few days ago, so it is better to send ......"
This person noticed two cold eyes on the top of his head, raised his head and saw that the emperor's face was startled, and he quickly closed his mouth and no longer dared to speak.
Seeing this, Shangshu of the Criminal Department hurriedly interjected, "The emperor forgives the sin, this person is a good person, and he can't see that there is no official position to spare, I think I was misled by what I heard just now, and the emperor just didn't hear his nonsense." ”
Below, the prince's eyes rolled, and he looked at Ye Shangshu silently, and both of them knew what he meant. Seeing that the banquet is about to end, and it is not early, you don't say anything...... Hum!
Ye Shangshu looked at the prince in a daze, and his heart was clear, but this meeting now is really not the time for him to say that. Moreover......
I don't know if the prince knows about what happened yesterday, if what Ye Xiao said after returning from the palace in person is true, then if his daughter leaves the palace, what good people will there be in the future?
As for the possibility of marrying the crown prince, he was already hopeless. Don't say anything about the crown princess, I am afraid it will be difficult to have a place in the prince's mansion without being bullied.
After thinking about it over and over again, Ye Shangshu finally didn't stand up.
At this time, the emperor and the secretary of the criminal department also talked about it, and all the ministers toasted the emperor of heaven and earth three cups of wine in turn according to the number of courtesies. This cold feast is over, but the people will still be lively for a few days.
Everyone was drunk and sent back to the house by the servants, Ye Shangshu deliberately stayed a step back, waiting for the prince and the emperor to finish speaking, and then cautiously followed, wanting to explain what happened last night.
Unexpectedly, the prince ignored him at all, leaving only one attendant, and raised his chin extremely arrogantly and said, "Ye Shangshu, the prince is lacking today, and he will talk about it later." ”
Sometime? What an answer! Now he also knows that this time he is estimated to have messed up, and he only hopes that the prince will not worry about him, otherwise...... Alas.
The house leak happened to rain overnight, passing by the flower building, only this place was still brightly lit in the middle of the night, Ye Shangshu's sorrow in his heart was inexplicably pulled out, and he had the idea of going inside to drink a few cups, so he ordered the little girl to go back to the house first.
"Oh, which uncle is this, come in and sit, I'm here to make you happy, it's useful to keep it." Oh yo, look at this sad face, come, call the fairy girl! ”
As soon as the old bustard's voice fell, the fairy girl who could relieve people's sorrows did not come, but Ye Shangshu ushered in two acquaintances in front of him. It was the two usual staff members around the prince.
"You two are here too? The old man asked the two to help with something, but Rong Ye invited the two to have a drink. He turned his head and instructed the old bustard, "A quiet private room, good wine and food, don't let people come up and disturb you!" ”
"Yes, yes, yes~ If you three have something to say, absolutely no one dares to disturb~"
Entering the room, Ye Shangshu was a little anxious and wanted to ask the prince what he meant, but the two of them were not in a hurry and called two girls to come in and serve.
Seeing this, Ye Shangshu had to be patient, and between pushing the cup and changing the lamp, he also inquired about the general meaning of the prince. Sure enough, he was given up by the crown prince.
The two looked at the person opposite absent-mindedly, looked at each other and smiled, and waved away the person who was waiting, "Lord Ye doesn't have to be too frustrated, the prince thinks that your position is not clear, in fact, you are procrastinating, and you are not decisive at all, recognize this, maybe there is a turnaround, right?" ”
Ye Shangshu smiled awkwardly, where did he not understand the kind words here, "Ye Mou has thanked the two of you here, there is still a lady waiting at home, the two of you are happy on your own, I invited you this time." ”
The two pretended to excuse themselves and smiled and accepted the kindness.
He turned his face and sneered sarcastically, "This old guy surnamed Ye, will there be a shortage of people around the prince?" Give him two points of face and dare to open a dyeing room, wait, and use it twice in the end, and the prince will kick this person away. ”
No, Ye Shangshu had just taken two steps, and remembered that he hadn't said anything yet, but he was about to knock on the door when he heard these words. I was angry and annoyed, but I had no way to get out, so I had to shake off my hands and leave.
In the palace, Deng Min was stunned at Song Zhancheng. After a while, he was stunned and asked, "Lord, aren't you drunk?" ”
I thought he was still thinking about whether to let the prince go back to the house, or just sleep in the palace for a night, but Emperor Bingming came to him, but he saw the prince sitting with clear eyes, where was there a trace of drunkenness!
"Haha, the prince has a lot of wine, and General Fei didn't know that he was defeated by you. When he was carried back just now, he shouted all the way that he drank down Prince Jin, but he was very happy. ”
Song Zhancheng smiled honestly, this kind of defenseless, clean and pure smile, it was an honor to see Deng Min.
couldn't help but turn his head and wipe the corners of his eyes, "The emperor said that it was too late, let the servants come over to add a bed and quilt for you, and wait for you to drink the sobering soup before going back." ”
After a pause, without waiting for Song Zhancheng to speak, Deng Min had the courage to say more, "Since you are awake, do you want to meet the emperor?" Today, the secretary of the Criminal Department proposed that there was a leak in the criminal law, and the emperor was planning to think of a way to come out overnight. ”
"Wangfu ......" As soon as Song Zhancheng spoke, his voice was hoarse, and he was startled, and sure enough, he drank too violently today.
He cleared his throat and whispered, "The palace accidentally caught fire last night, and I have to go back to deal with it quickly." The father-in-law reminded his father to rest early, and then gather the courtiers to find a way tomorrow. ”
Deng Min looked at the distant back worriedly, his throat choked, and after a long time, he said in a very small voice: "Okay, let our family send you a bowl of pear water tea to moisten your throat~"
Hearing a sound at the door of the hall, followed by familiar footsteps, the emperor didn't raise his head, "I'm back, show me what this piece is about?" ”
After not hearing an answer for a long time, the emperor raised his head, made up his mind, and asked, "How is the second child?" What's wrong with you, old? Sleepy? I haven't used it yet! ”
"Lord Wang, he's gone, and he's gone home."
"Didn't I let him rest in the palace for one night? It's cold at night, it's really ignorant, just let him go! ”
Deng Min only felt that his nose was sour, and he couldn't hold back what he wanted to say, and quickly calmed down, only to find that he had committed a big taboo tonight.
