The serious and steady emperor is gone, the queen is a woman who likes to be lively, the crown prince is a good person who has few things, the crown prince is a guy who is afraid that the world will not be chaotic, and the atmosphere in the palace is getting more and more vigorous, burning out everyone's reserve.

The banquet has been completely removed, and only a row of high tables has been placed in the southernmost part, which is filled with fruits, chocolates, red wine, cocktails, etc., and the palace maids walk back and forth with wine trays, and crystal goblets are filled with red and white wine.

The colorful lights have gone out and replaced them with starlight lamps. Outside the palace, the moon hangs high and there are few stars; In the palace, the moon is full of shadows and the stars are brilliant.

The music is soothing, the band plays lazily, a soprano sings a relaxed and tactful aria, and a group of girls are harmonizing.

In the dark palace, alcohol unleashes the original humanity, and the other side of everyone is revealed.

The princes either talked and laughed with others, or chased the daughters and concubines of palace maids and even ministers.

The princesses seem to be teasing the minister's handsome sons; The minister's handsome son also seems to be teasing the princesses.

The ministers got together, or muttered to each other, or shouted loudly.

The women of the harem are talking to each other about something.

And in the darker corners there is nothing to see. I can imagine, though.

I had been standing at the end of the Inner Court camp, watching all this in shock, pretending to be light-hearted. As a dung-digging teenager who was still thinking about whether the emperor should eat one fritter or two fritters for breakfast a year ago, I am very satisfied with this situation.

At this moment a princess came to me.

In my first eye, all the princesses looked about the same, and they were all quite beautiful - that was because the royal family had married beautiful princesses for dozens of generations, and the princesses born were of course beautiful. Later, I stayed in the palace for a long time, and I was able to tell the princesses. I was so familiar with the princesses that I could smell with my nose which princess or princess was going to enter before they even entered the door. But that's for later.

The emperor has more than 100 princes and princesses, and even if people can't recognize them all, they can recognize the most important ones - this princess is the most important princess: Zhu Mengzi.

She said to me, "People from the Liangzhou Oriental family, huh? ”

I hastened to say, "Yes." Her Royal Highness the Princess. ”

Zhu Mengzi: "Your eldest lady is in the limelight today. ”

What I see is "beauty", and what she sees is "limelight". It's really a woman's nature!

She continued: "Are you familiar with her? ”

Me: "Of course. ”

I started talking about the moon in the east - nonsense, of course.

The princess looked concerned.

So I just had a hard time talking about it—almost making up a novel on the spot.

The princess listened with relish.

Her: "yes, that's good. What about her brother, are you familiar with it? How is he? ”

It dawned on me that she had a purpose.

Obviously, she can't care about Dongfang Mingyue's eldest brother and third brother - those two stupid fat men - must be the suave, chic and handsome second brother Dongfang Yongbai. I even heard that Dongfang Yongbai was once rated as one of the "Top Ten Beautiful Men in Chang'an" by idlers. It seemed that her seemingly casual last question was the ultimate goal.

Me: "Oh, Dongfang Yongbai, a rare good man, twenty-five years old, with a wife, and no other woman. She had just given birth to a one-year-old daughter. ”

She smiled: "What I asked is the real thing, not what everyone in the capital says." ”

I said, "I've been with him for so long," — only a few months in fact — "and what I see is the same as what is out there." I don't believe that a person can pretend to be a lifetime. I guess the top ten beautiful men in the capital, he is the only one who is serious. ”

She: "Isn't it serious like a false serious?" Or is he so manly? ”

Me: "He took me to the Qinglou a few times. - I mean, before I entered the palace. I can assure you that he doesn't act like a man who likes men in it. ”

She: "That's not the man who often visits the Qinglou?" ”

Me: "It's not indecent. The Green House is just a meeting place for these people, nothing more. You can't expect everyone to go to the monk's temple for dinner, right? ”

"Haha." She laughed for a while and left.

I've heard of the promiscuity of the royal princesses, and even in the countryside and the county, there are people who depict the princesses' behavior, and I don't know how many storytellers and book gangs have fed these secrets. It is said that the number of princesses is not lower than that of the emperor's imperial concubines. Since the men in this world take pride in collecting beautiful women, it is normal for these princesses to compare how many "top ten beautiful men" they have collected all day long.

The bored people in the capital divided the "four beautiful men" and "ten beautiful men" into the young men of the scholar clan in the capital, and there was Dongfang Yongbai in each division. If you don't count his status as a concubine, he is almost perfect, both beautiful and talented.

But if Dongfang Yongbai is a good man as I said, then hell. Dongfang Yongbai fights his brother behind his back all day long, pats his father's ass, and recruits bad people like me.

However, I still decided to introduce Dongfang Yongbai to the princess, so that I not only had a relationship in the palace, but also in the capital.

I quietly approached Dongfang Yongbai. He was talking to other sons, and he saw me beside me, and he saw my eyes. I motioned to him and flashed to the side.

Soon he broke away from the conversation and came to me.

I've told you about it.

Him: "What is this?" Is she collecting? Collect the top ten beautiful men in the capital and summon the son of God to descend to earth? ”

Me: "It doesn't matter what she wants to do, it's what you want to do. There aren't many opportunities. ”

It's late at night, and many people have already said goodbye, including the crown prince or something.

The atmosphere has gone overboard.

I don't want to describe it, because it's not about eunuchs anymore.

They defiled the divinity of the royal family.

People are like that, they always think with their lower body, not their brains - maybe the circumcised person is the real person.

I read an ancient psychology book that said that sex is the only purpose of human beings, and that people think about sex in everything they do, consciously or unconsciously, even when they are asleep and dreaming.

I think it's the author who is too stupid. Sex is for reproduction, and reproduction is the world's deception of us. Innumerable great men have penetrated the truth of the world, and therefore none of them have left any descendants; The rest are the lower body thinking mediocrity, whose descendants fill the whole world, to give people this illusion.

I guess something is going to happen. The rules of the palace can tolerate the prince doing something to the palace maid, and the princess can tolerate the princess doing something to the courtier, but it is absolutely intolerable for the minister to do something to the palace maid.

And now it's happening.

The son of a minister chased the maid in a drunken state, and the maid screamed. A eunuch ran over and pulled them away. As soon as this side was opened, the clothes of a palace maid over there were torn apart.

Zhao Zhenglong, the eldest son of the Zhao clan of Zhao County (the emperor's brother-in-law), was especially excessive, and directly regarded the palace as a green building. The high-flying and domineering head of the Zhao family can only raise such an ignorant son.

The head of the Zongren Mansion in charge of the wedding banquet grabbed the son of a minister who tried to do something in the corridor, and several forbidden soldiers kicked him in the head. The governor said: "If it weren't for the fact that there was no blood in today's royal ceremony, I would have cut you directly." ”

But he couldn't do anything about the increasingly chaotic scene, and his face was full of resentment.......

-

Suddenly, the colorful lights were turned off and the snow-bright headlights were turned on.

It's like a different world.

People cursed.

At this time, many people appeared at the gate of the palace, led by three people.

In the middle is Li Yongfu, the head of the inner court and the commander of the forbidden army, and his official rank is a good grade.

On the right is Liu Xingchao, the deputy head of the inner court and the supervisor of the forbidden army, who is under the rank of a first-class official.

The sick little man wearing glasses on the left is Zheng Xuangong, the deputy supervisor of the forbidden army, and he is under the rank of one class.

Behind are dozens of forbidden soldiers in black uniforms, whose level is not low, wearing military sticks at their waists, and their faces are solemn.

Li Yongfu said loudly: "It's late, please outsiders take the first step." ”

People began to reluctantly, muttering, and walking slowly.

In the entire imperial palace, only the emperor, the crown prince, the crown prince, and the ten princes can stay overnight, which is stipulated by the emperor himself, and no other adult prince is allowed, let alone ministers. Some princes who couldn't stay in the palace didn't move, and the eunuchs didn't dare to rush, so they stood by and waited.

And the forbidden army was not polite to the minister, and those who grabbed the palace maid were forcibly pulled away, and the drunk ones were dragged away directly.

-

-

Zhao Guangxin, the head of the Zhao clan in Zhao County, was already drunk, and he stood up and said, "What's the hurry!" ”

Everyone stopped and stared at him.

Zhao Guangxin: "Turn off the lights!" Liang is dead! After a while, everyone will be happy. ”

Li Yongfu: "Prime Minister, this is the rule of the palace. No outsiders are allowed to stay in the palace after midnight. ”

Prime Minister: "These are all the emperor's guests, what can we do if we don't have fun?" ”

Manager: "It's okay to have fun, but you can't go too far." If you think about it, the innocence of the palace maid is gone, and the emperor will ask about it, and we will be very troublesome. ”

Prime Minister: "If it's gone, it's gone." Is there anyone else now? ”

People laughed.

The manager: "The palace maid's affairs are small, what about the imperial concubine." Are you responsible for the royal dignity? ”

Prime Minister: "Haha, you eunuchs are also worthy of talking about dignity." ”

People continued to laugh. There are also some people who feel that the situation is wrong, and their faces have changed somewhat. Before I came to Chang'an, I heard about the discord between the inner court and the outer court, the head of the inner court and the prime minister of the outer court, but I didn't expect them to tear their faces in front of so many people.

Li Yongfu's tone became heavier, and he said word by word: "This is the ancestral family law, and outsiders are not allowed to spend the night in the palace!" What kind of ancestral family law do you still talk about during the day, and you don't let the crown prince preside over the wedding ceremony, why don't you talk about ancestral family law now?! You're talking?! ”

Zhao Guangxin was annoyed and angry: "What does the eunuch know about the affairs of the imperial court!" ”

Everyone stopped talking, and the palace fell silent.

The only two ministers of the Ming Dynasty are stiff, the chief minister represents the inner court, and the prime minister represents the outer court, although the inner court is in charge of the outer court, but the prime minister is still the emperor's father-in-law, neither of them can be provoked, and no one dares to speak up.

The steward clenched the knife in his waist and stared at the prime minister.

The Prime Minister furrowed his brow and stared at the Governor.

-

-

At this time, the voice of Queen Zhao Yishu came, and she said, "Happy today, play all night." ”

Li Yongfu took a few steps back, put on a relaxed expression on his face again, bowed to the queen, and then said, "Niangniang, these people are already drunk and have something going to happen." ”

The queen's eyes were already hazy, and she said, "Something will happen!" ”

Li Yongfu still wanted to speak, but the queen said loudly: "Okay, you are so annoying, go away." ”

Dongfang Mingyue sat beside the queen, bowing her head slightly, her face expressionless.

The Prime Minister lifted his head and seemed to be looking at the Governor with his chin.

Li Yongfu: "Let's go." ”

The Minister of Internal Affairs gave me a push, and I followed, and in fact the entire first floor of the Imperial Officials retreated into the corridor.

After we left, the dazzling white lights went out and the ambiguous lanterns lit up.

More than 100 of us gathered around Li Yongfu, the head of the inner court, and waited quietly for him to speak.

Steward: "Okay, they dare ......"

At this moment, the gasps of men and women came from the small room next to them, and the sound was intermittent, but it was clearly audible.

Li Yongfu drew his knife and walked into the room. I heard a "poof", accompanied by a man and a woman screaming, and then there was no sound.

Li Yongfu, the head of the inner court, came out, put the bloody knife into the sheath, and said, "What kind of prime minister, provoke me to kill like this!" ”
