That night, Yang Xuan held a banquet in the palace to entertain the five kings.

During this period, there were 100 seats, not only civil and military officials at all levels of the imperial court, but also generals and ministers accompanying the king.

King Jing sat next to Lu Chen's hand again.

This time, there was someone on the main seat directly above, and that was Yang Xuan. However, after all the wine and food were served, the respective attendants behind the kings stepped forward one after another to check whether the wine and food were poisonous with silver needles.

Seeing this scene, Yang Xuan's face suddenly became extremely ugly. You know, he is the emperor of the empire, and now he is feasting the kings, and the kings are actually testing poison with silver needles in front of him, which is equivalent to directly slapping him in the face, and he doesn't take them in the eyes at all!

Don't look at the time when there are people watching outside the city, the kings do a good job on the surface, but after entering the palace, it is not the case at all.

The first is Lu Chen, he directly mobilized an army of 10,000 people to enter the palace, and with his action, the other kings followed suit, otherwise, if there are only imperial court guards and wind troops in the palace, then their personal safety is not guaranteed at all! At present, in addition to the forbidden army of the imperial court, there are armies of various countries stationed everywhere in the palace.

In this regard, Yang Xuan also dared to be angry but did not dare to speak.

"King, you can eat food and wine with confidence." One of the attendants beside Qingwang put away the silver needle, lowered his body and said.

"Well, let's go down." Qingwang waved his hand casually.

The attendants around the other kings also retreated at this time, and Yang Xuan's right hand under the table shook fiercely, then took a deep breath, picked up the wine glass in front of him, and said with a forced smile: "Come, rank Aiqing, I salute you with a glass, I salute you for my Central Plains, sweep away the violence, and restore peace in the world!" ”

"I salute Your Majesty—" the kings said in unison.

After waiting for a glass of wine, the kings didn't look at Yang Xuan anymore, and began to talk to the people around them, but at this moment, a eunuch chanted loudly: "The Jade Concubine has arrived——"

With the words, a bewitching woman walked into the field, this woman is the favorite concubine of Emperor Yang Xuan, and she is a beauty who really brings disaster to the country and the people.

She is full of charm, there is a little red cinnabar on her forehead, she is wearing a light veil, her white and tender shoulders are looming, her posture is graceful, and the lotus steps move lightly, passing by everyone, like a gust of fragrant wind.

When she passed by King Chu's side, the latter couldn't help but close her eyes slightly, looking intoxicated, and then, her eyes lit up, staring at the graceful back of the jade concubine without blinking.

The appearance of the jade concubine is undoubtedly a beautiful landscape, and it also makes the eyes of the kings involuntarily focus on her.

King Jing saw that Lu Chen was only looking down to eat vegetables, and couldn't help leaning over and said, "Brother Wang, this girl is really beautiful." ”

Lu Chen smiled, looked at King Jing, and first whispered: "In my opinion, she is not as good-looking as Brother Wang." ”

"Brother Wang......" King Jing's face turned red.

Seeing this, Lu Chen was quite amused, and after laughing, he looked at the other kings, and saw that everyone was looking at the jade concubine, he shook his head and said, "Such a beauty will cause trouble." ”

Yes? When King Jing heard this, he first opened his mouth in surprise, then noticed the expressions of the other kings, and then looked thoughtful.

"Come, Brother King Jing, you and I have a drink." Lu Chen said with a cup.

"Brother Wang, you want to pour me ...... again" King Jing was helpless, so he could only hold up his wine glass.

At this time, Concubine Yu also walked to the seat directly above, Yang Xuan saw this, quickly got up and held her little hand, pulled it to sit down beside him, and asked, "Concubine Ai, why are you here?" ”

"Your Majesty ......" Concubine Yu was full of charm, shook Yang Xuan's arm coquettishly, pouted and said: "Such a feast, why don't you call the concubine ......"

"Huh? I'm not afraid that Concubine Ai won't be used to such an occasion. Seeing Concubine Yu, Yang Xuan's mood instantly improved. This can't be blamed for the weakening of imperial power, there is such an emperor, if it is not weakened, it is a strange thing!

"Your Majesty, the concubine will give you a drink."

"Come, concubine ......"

As soon as the jade concubine came, Yang Xuan directly forgot about the kings and many ministers below, and began to talk to the jade concubine above, and the ministers of the imperial court secretly shook their heads when they saw this.

At this time, many ministers also began to toast to the kings, and Taifu Zhang Sidong was naturally the first to run to Lu Chen's side, full of flattery.

And Guo Hao, the imperial historian of the imperial court, came to the king of Chu at a trot with a glass of wine, he has long been in contact with the state of Chu, and has always regarded the state of Chu as his own back road.

After arriving at the King of Chu's side, he nodded his head and bowed, with a groveling posture, holding the wine glass in both hands, and said with a smile on his face: "Ah, His Royal Highness the King of Chu, I will give you a glass." ”

"Huh?" At this time, the king of Chu had already been pulled away by the jade concubine, and his eyes were still staring at others, and when he heard the words, he suddenly came back to his senses, and saw that it was Guo Hao, he first laughed dryly, and then took the cup and said: "Ah, it turned out to be Lord Guo, come, come, drink!" ”

As he spoke, he drank the wine in the glass in one gulp, then put down the wine glass, and once again couldn't help but stop his gaze on the jade concubine above.

Seeing this, Guo Hao's eyes rolled, and then said tentatively: "His Royal Highness the King of Chu, the Jade Concubine is His Majesty's favorite concubine, and even the queen has to give her three points of courtesy." ”

After he finished speaking, his eyes also looked at the King of Chu without blinking, intending to observe his words and expressions.

How do you know that the king of Chu didn't even have the intention of turning back, but still stared at the jade concubine, and sighed slightly: "This king has long heard that the jade concubine Niangniang, the moon is shy and shy of flowers, a smile falls into the city, and then laughs and falls into the country, I can see it today, the name is well deserved, such a beauty, hey......"

Hearing this, Guo Hao immediately had a score in his heart, his previous interview was probing, in fact, he was deliberately reminding the King of Chu, the Jade Concubine, the woman of the Son of Heaven, not to stare at others so bluntly, and now, the performance of the King of Chu also let him know what to say next.

He rolled his eyes, first looked left and right, and then whispered something in his ear beside King Chu......

"Oh!?" After listening to him, the King of Chu finally moved his gaze back, looked at Guo Hao with his eyes shining, and asked in a condensed voice, "Really!?" ”

Guo Hao nodded slowly, looking like he was in his chest.

Seeing this, the king of Chu first swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and then the thief also looked around, at this time, how could anyone pay attention to him, after reading it, he couldn't help but lower his voice and said: "Lord Guo, is this really feasible?" There won't be any surprises, you know......"

"Huh?" Guo Hao waved his hand slightly, and said softly: "Your Highness, rest assured, as long as Your Highness nods, this matter can definitely be done." ”
