Chapter 5 The Restaurant Girl
The palace banquet for the return of the general of Zhenguo was scheduled for the tenth day of his return.
The general is stationed at the border all the year round, and the number of times he returns to the dynasty is very small, and he is the founding minister of the imperial court.
When night fell, the gate of the palace still had officials and eunuchs who came and went, all of whom went to the palace to participate in the banquet.
Emperor Yijia sat high on the main seat, a woman dressed in complicated palace clothes wore a phoenix hairpin, looked like she was in her early thirties, sitting on his left side, that is, the queen, the queen was followed by a big palace maid, waiting behind her, looking gentle and dignified, quite a bit of clear water out of the hibiscus temperament.
The opening of the banquet is always indispensable for a kind greeting.
When Emperor Yijia built the Tanglin Kingdom, today's general of Zhenguo is only a deputy general, Emperor Yijia knows how to make good use of people, personally promoted, and then attacked the city and the pool, this general has made a lot of contributions, is for the founding of the country, the people who are attached to the power of Panyan in the court are naturally indispensable to flattery, saying kind words, but there is no way to know what is in mind.
Emperor Yijia was high up, smiling at the beloved sons and ministers in the palace, his eyes were smiling but bottomless, and he raised his hand gently, "Yang Aiqing returned to the dynasty this time, so let's stay, and fight for my Tanglin for half a life, and it is time to enjoy the blessings." ”
General Zhenguo, named Yang Yan.
General Yang got up, respectfully performed a military salute, his voice was loud, his posture was straight, and the solemn and cold aura left on the battlefield was still faintly revealed from his body to this day, but the expression on his face was extremely happy, "Your Majesty's words are serious, and the ministers can have today, all thanks to Your Majesty's blessings, and now the country and the people are safe, and the old ministers are really happy." ”
Emperor Yijia laughed, looking quite happy, "Yang Yanna Yang Yan, after so many years, you still haven't changed at all, you are so honest, now that Tanglin is strong enough, you can rest assured." ”
When the ministers saw that the emperor was happy, they echoed one after another, and General Yang stood in place, let go of his fist-clenched hand, and laughed, and his hearty appearance no longer had the coldness of Fang Cai.
At this time, a clear male voice was suddenly inserted, "Father, it's not kind for you to say that, the general is loyal, you think he is too honest, and the retainer tries his best to make you happy, and you think the retainer is too noisy, you make the rechen very embarrassed!" ”
Everyone followed the prestige, but saw that the eighth prince was smiling brightly, grinning and shaking his white teeth at the ninety-five honor, the whole world, I am afraid that this prince dares to talk to that person like this, everyone is not surprised, and they laughed cooperatively.
Emperor Yi Jia looked at his eighth son, his eyes were full of smiles, but he pretended to be annoyed, "You kid, you are really getting bigger and smaller!" ”
The queen smiled gently, "Changxian, you see that you are not too young, why don't you know the convergence point." ”
Changxian's face froze for a moment, touched his nose, and continued to kick his nose on his face, "No matter how old the son is, isn't he still the son of his father." ”
Emperor Yijia smiled slightly, groaned slightly, and was a little disgusted, "Changxian is indeed not small, and he has reached the age of a concubine." ”
The ministers were silent.
Since ancient times, the marriages of royal children have been arranged a long time ago, and all the greetings are just going through the motions, and the ultimate goal is just to consolidate the political power and contain each other.
The queen's words seemed to be unintentional, but it just spoke to the emperor's heart, but although King Yi was favored, what kind of situation was it after a hundred years of Emperor Yijia, no one dared to say, the royal disputes have always been undercurrents, and the married family may be prosperous for a while, or it may be glorious for a lifetime, but in the end it depends on who the person who ascends the throne is.
Everyone was silent for a moment, and even the expression of the Eight Kings was a little stiff, but at this time, a discordant voice was inserted.
"Doesn't Lord Yi already have a girl he likes?" With a hint of irony.
When everyone looked over, they just saw General Yang staring sideways at a young man sitting beside him, and the man looked at General Yang with a look of fear, and everyone knew it.
This man must be Yang Ji, the only son of General Yang's family, who was born in the border pass since he was a child, and it is natural for him to be frank, so everyone didn't take it to heart.
General Yang was loyal, and he saluted again, with some anger in his voice, "The dog has grown up at the border since he was a child, and his words are out of proportion, and I hope the emperor will forgive him!" ”
Emperor Yi Jia didn't care much, and waved his hand, "It's okay, it's okay, the men raised by Huangsha are always cool." ”
General Yang smiled and retreated to sit beside Yang Ji, upright.
Emperor Yi Jia looked at Changxian again and said with a smile, "Say, which girl did you fall in love with?" ”
Changxian thought that he had escaped some questioning, and was just about to sit down secretly, but when he heard the emperor's question, he sneered and straightened up, "Father and the emperor are making fun of his sons again, where do you have any favorite girls?" ”
The ministers were silent.
In the entire Anling City, except for the people in the palace, who else doesn't know his relationship with the drunken proprietress? It's just that King Yi didn't admit it, and they didn't dare to talk nonsense, so they swallowed in unison.
Emperor Yijia pretended to be puzzled, and looked at Yang Ji, who was sitting next to Yang Yan with an aggrieved face, "Yang Ji, tell me, which girl does Changning fall into?" ”
Yang Ji cautiously looked at Yang Yan and did not speak.
Emperor Yi Jia smiled, "If you don't speak again, it will be like a bully." ”
Yang Ji got up and whispered, "Just ...... It's the proprietress of the drunken man's house......"
Long Xianmo, I really want to look up to the sky and sigh, just this aunt, isn't marrying back just following her ass to clean up the mess, who likes her!
Emperor Yi Jia froze, as if he was thinking about something.
Meng Changxian is his eighth son, he has been straightforward and very pleasing since he was a child, in this palace hall of swords and swords, it is really commendable, because he is always so indulgent to Changxian.
And according to Changxian's picky temperament, ordinary people can't get into his eyes at all, I thought it would be a famous family, but I didn't expect it to be just a restaurant proprietor, as a woman who has not been out of the cabinet, but so out of the court, the royal family will not pay attention to it at all.
Just thinking about it, a small slightly puzzled voice came from the main hall, "Drunkard House? I remembered that a few days ago, didn't I go to the lantern festival with the three princes? ”
Suddenly, King Ning became the focus of everyone's attention again.
Changning was watching quietly, but he was caught off guard all of a sudden, and stood up gently, his eyebrows and eyes were still indifferent, "Lord Liu misunderstood, I am just a gentleman's friend with her." ”
But obviously everyone doesn't buy it, who will have nothing to do with a gentleman's friend to watch the lantern festival......
On the other side, Emperor Yijia's expression became more and more somber.
A folk woman actually has a relationship with her two princes at the same time, ordinary women can't do such things, and the so-called drunkard is just a fox woman who is greedy for glory.
Emperor Yi Jia thought that he was disgusted with this woman he had never met, not to mention the identity of the woman, that is, after she became famous, his emperor would never marry such a woman to enter the door.
The ministers of the main hall have served the court for many years, and they know how to observe words and expressions the most, and seeing that Emperor Yijia's face is not good, they have all stopped the hustle and bustle, and the atmosphere is a little depressing.
Chang Xian blinked and said haha, "Father, look, doesn't the third brother know her too?" You know Erchen's temperament best, Drunkard House is the most famous restaurant in Anling, and it is not an exaggeration for Erchen to know the proprietress there! ”
Emperor Yi Jia came back to his senses, smiled, and rounded the topic by the way, "You, you, play and enjoy all day long, when can you help me do something!" ”
The atmosphere of the hall eased down suddenly, Changning gently brushed his sleeves and sat down, sat down with a long sitting, his heart was worried, and he was secretly glad that he escaped from the devil's cave of marrying a wife, although he loves beauties, but he doesn't want to marry people back and throw them in the house, that's not delaying people!
At this point, Changxian felt that he was really a gentleman.
As Emperor Yijia's words landed, the expressions of everyone in the hall were a little subtle.
Emperor Yijia's words, clearly counting on the eight princes to share some affairs for him, although the eight princes were favored in the past, but there were no henchmen in the court, and there was not much real power in his hands, no one in Anling City dared to provoke him, but because of the favor of the saints today, now if Emperor Yijia wants to give him real power, then his status is very different, at least in the eyes of these courtiers, he may be the next emperor of Tanglin Kingdom.
Everyone had all kinds of calculations in their hearts, but their faces were silent, the queen's face was a little ugly, but in front of so many ministers, as a harem woman, it was really difficult for her to interfere.
At this time, the man in the yellow robe laughed loudly, "That is to say, eighth brother, you should also learn to deal with trivial matters at your age, and it is not okay to leave all the things to your brothers." ”
Changxian frowned, quite complaining, "Brother Huang, what do you call me at my age?" I'm obviously still young, and there are a few brothers in the court. ”
The man in the yellow robe is the prince of Tanglin, the eldest son of Emperor Yijia, named Meng Changhao.
Everyone couldn't help but laugh when they heard Changxian's words, and the queen's face softened slightly.
The prince was issued by the queen, and Fang Cai's words seemed to be joking with Changxian, but in fact, it was just reminding the ministers of the court who the prince in power in the court was now, and he was favored by Changxian, but after all, he was not the prince, and the people in the court knew how to see the wind and steer the rudder, so they could naturally hear the meaning of the words.
Of course, Changxian could also hear the meaning of the prince's words, but he had never been interested in the throne, and he didn't bother to participate in these disputes, so he simply didn't understand.
The banquet originally set up for the general was involved in the royal power struggle, but this situation has never been uncommon in the palace compound, and everyone is not surprised.
Now that Emperor Yijia is alive, there is no need for them to join the party prematurely and get involved in this dispute, to understand the general trend of the DPRK and China, and to protect themselves is the way to be officials.
However, in this banquet, the most innocent person is the legendary proprietress of the drunken man's house, who obviously did nothing, but has become a thorn in the heart of the current emperor.
At that time, Ami was about to close the door of the drunken man's house, a gust of wind blew in, and she couldn't help sneezing, she rubbed her nose, and muttered quietly as she walked back, "How can I say that this day has changed......
So, in a word......
