Everyone is born with a crow's mouth, a good spirit that is not bad, so people "say Cao Cao Cao will arrive". Not all Cao Cao has long legs and long necks and likes to join in the fun, so it can only be said that nothing can ignore its negligible possibility.

Scientifically it's called Murphy's Law.

But Liu Yu not only gave birth to a crow's mouth, but even more importantly, he grew a crow brain. Think what the spirit.

Of course, before he went, he didn't expect to meet Sima Xuan'er, and she really fell off the drum rack and caused him trouble, which is a later story. As for why it caused him trouble, that's another story.

Liu Yu followed Liu Zhao into the palace for the first time, and he was still very honest. Liu Zhaosheng is very imposing, with an armor and a sword given by the emperor, and he walks like a Land Rover, while Liu Yu is just wearing a cloth suit, and it is easy to be covered by Liu Zhao's momentum when he follows behind.

In fact, it was indeed covered up.

Wherever he walked, people would come to greet Liu Zhao, and then looked at Liu Yu very uniformly, he didn't recognize him, and he didn't even have the time to ask. Few courtiers would not recognize Liu Zhao's competitive sons, this one is so young, needless to say, the one who is about to marry Xu Xuanzhu. What do you say to Liu Zhao about him? Congratulations to the Marquis of Dingguo, you have given birth to a good son and are about to "get married"? Isn't it self-touching mold? Therefore, the people who saw Liu Zhao selectively ignored Liu Yu.

Liu Yu is also happy that he doesn't have to say hello to people. What he hates the most is red tape, when he first recovered from his illness, he saw Sui Yi and they were all one "Brother Wenyan" and the other was a "Brother Wenyan", and later became familiar with his current temper, and polite words were waived when they met.

Liu Yu also paid close attention to observing these people's attitudes towards Liu Zhao, which were generally divided into three types, polite, enthusiastic, and very enthusiastic.

Those who come to say a few words are due to the status of the marquis of Dingguo and have to say hello, there is no way, political opinions are different, and the etiquette is inevitable, and even the prince and princess have to obey the etiquette. But everyone knew that Liu Zhao was close to the two sons of the late Empress Zhao, namely the third prince Su Bi and the fourth prince Su Ren, so the people from the other factions met and just left with a few polite words.

Among the two sons of Queen Zhao, the relationship is also close, it may be that Liu Zhaosheng was a military general who did not know how to avoid suspicion in the early years, and actually publicly taught the art of war to the three princes, so every time the three princes treated him with the courtesy of Mr., the people in the court classified the Marquis of Dingguo as a person of the three princes' faction.

Liu Yu understood that the ministers in the court had not wronged Liu Zhao, and the old man was indeed too close to the three princes. Therefore, it is the four princes who are enthusiastic, and the people who are very enthusiastic are the three princes.

The wine banquet is held in the Xuanwu Hall of the Imperial Palace, the wide hall has twelve red pillars, the main hall door is facing the plaque of "Xuanwu Yangwei", under the plaque is the throne, the throne is under the left and right sides of the throne, two columns are in the front, two are in the back, each case is placed with wine and food, each has two seats.

Most of the people who went to the banquet this time were military generals, and there were also a few civil ministers, and most of the civil ministers were brought by the prince and princess themselves, except for those who joined the army. I didn't see the fourth princess Su Bi and Chai Hulu, because the fourth princess did not go with the army, but the eldest princess and the second princess took the horse to the front line in person, it is reported that the second princess was injured on the front line, and the grapevine said that she fell off the horse, and her body did not heal, so the second princess did not come.

There are more people from the prince's side, as long as the adult is in decline except for Su Yan, the prince accounts for the majority of the seats in the front row. Liu Yu was touched by Liu Zhao's light, and the father and son sat in the front row second only to the prince and princess, and when they looked up, they were opposite the heroic Xu Xuanzhu. Eye-to-eye with Liu Yu, Xu Xuanzhu immediately lowered his head slightly shyly.

The people who sit at the same table with the prince and princess are generally couples, and there are also alternatives, such as the fourth prince Su Ren, who is actually Xu Rong at the same table, and the only person in the audience who has some friendship with Liu Yu. It's just that two Sven men sit in a very different seat, like two good friends, which makes Liu Yu feel dazzling.

The generals who came were all guarding the pass, and Qi Fang and Zhang Wuzhu had outstanding military achievements but no chance, mainly because their identities were not enough. Now that they are still lieutenants, not even partial generals, Liu Yue can't help but feel that the emperor has treated them a little badly.

The prince's seniority was lined up one by one, and one seat was empty during the period, and the fifth prince Su Yi was missing. Of course, Su Yan's seat was not prepared at all, he was originally able to participate in it with his military exploits, but he was ordered by the emperor to "think about it behind closed doors" after making this scene. Liu Yuxin said that he didn't know which casino this kid was thinking about now.

Among all the princes, Liu Yu paid the most attention to the seventh prince Su Zhe, a somewhat shy but personable son-in-law who sat alone at a table.

Su Zhe is now twenty years old, only one year older than Su Yan, and most princes get married early after the crown ceremony, but Su Zhe is still not married. Su Zhe's mother is Mrs. Troll, who was born in a peasant family, Mrs. Troll, and the mother of the fifth prince Su Yi, Li Guifei, is the most favored concubine today, Mrs. Troll herself is relatively low-key, only gave birth to Su Zhe One son, and there is no official relative, Su Zhe is also relatively low-key like his mother.

Liu Yu paid attention to Su Zhe not because of his background, but more importantly, because of his character and ability, and that he was about to be crowned king with his three brothers. Although Su Zhe is very low-key, he is resolute and never forms a gang, this time the third, fourth, and fifth princes are crowned kings in the eyes of ordinary people, but the emperor skips the mediocre six princes to make Su Zhe king, which shows the emperor's importance to this son.

Han Sheng had a high opinion of Su Zhe, and Liu Yu was a little more careful. But Su Zhe had nothing to pay attention to, he just sat in the seat prepared for him alone, looking a little wooden, and he didn't feel the feeling of a foreign object.

Seeing the sunset, the Xuanwu Hall suddenly fell silent, and the emperor walked out accompanied by Concubine Li and Mrs. Lu. Everyone stood up to greet them.

The emperor is the first time Liu Yu has seen him, and he is not old, he is a middle-aged man with a very rich face and a very square face, with two beards on his face, a big yellow satin like a costume, his hair is tied and crowned, and there is no crown. It seems that people are quite smooth.

In addition to the two favored concubines behind the emperor, there was also a young couple, the woman was very beautiful and luxurious, supporting Li Guifei to walk in a proper manner, and the man followed the emperor relatively proudly. Liu Yu thought about it, it should be Su Yi and his wife, the fifth prince who didn't see anyone.

Looking at the third prince Su Bi and the fourth prince Su Ren, they really glared angrily, obviously very angry at Su Ye's behavior of slapping the emperor's ass through Concubine Li. There is no way, most of the princes went to the front line this time to play soy sauce, but Su Yi was the only alternative who took the lead and made great achievements in the battle to recapture Shaowuguan.

"Sincerely, St. Ann!"

Seeing that the emperor turned around before reaching the throne, everyone saluted together. The relationship between the monarchs and ministers of the Shun Dynasty is harmonious, except for the prelude to the palace, the rest of the time when he sees the emperor salutes, but he does not need to kneel, Liu Yu has no experience before, and at this time there is a lot of indiscriminate behavior.

"I'm going to bow down."

The emperor smiled and raised his arm, "You are the ministers of Dashun to protect the territory and the pillars of the country, please take a seat." ”

The emperor sat down first, followed by the two imperial concubines, and then the rest sat back in their seats. Mr. and Mrs. Su Yi also returned to their seats.

The emperor began to talk eloquently, roughly talking about how the soldiers who had made meritorious contributions to the enemy this time killed the enemy in blood, how they defended their families and the country, and praised them with emotion. After finishing in general terms, the tone changed and said: "This time to quell the troubles of the Turkic cavalry, the women of Dashun, and General Xu, the commander of the daughter army, should be the first to make the contribution." ”

Praised by the emperor in public, Xu Xuanzhu "Wow! He stood up, put his hand on the hilt of the imperial sword, and said in a high tone: "I am willing to serve your majesty!" ”

The emperor smiled with satisfaction, and the eyes of others were mixed with a little jealousy. After all, people are the first to make meritorious contributions, and they are the first to be praised by the emperor, which is the highest honor of being a soldier.

The emperor suddenly looked sideways at Liu Zhao again, and said with a smile: "Marquis Dingguo, I heard that your twelfth prince is about to marry Xu Aiqing, and the one next to you is the twelfth prince, right?" ”

"It's the dog." Liu Zhao got up and replied respectfully, and then glanced at Liu Yudao, who was still sitting upright, "Don't get up to greet the emperor yet!" ”

Liu Yu didn't expect that he still needed to go on stage, and he didn't know how to be polite, so he had to get up and bow down and say, "The grass people ask the emperor for peace." ”

Emperor Ha Lu Ha Da Lu smiled and said: "You are now the captain of the front of the car, leading the court, how can you still be a grass people?" ”

Liu Yue smiled embarrassedly, it seems that it is not easy to deal with the emperor, and even the wrong name will be corrected.

The emperor looked at Liu Yue a little embarrassed, and continued to smile: "You have just entered the court, and you can learn the rules slowly." In two days, you will marry Xu Aiqing, and I would like to toast here, wishing you a hundred years of good children and grandchildren. ”

Imperial court etiquette, toasting is made by the courtiers to the emperor, and today the emperor also made an exception, and actually toasted a pair of newcomers, which really surprised everyone present. At the same time, he was even more jealous, and there was more malice than blessing in his gaze.

Liu Yu drank a glass of wine in the eyes of everyone like knives, and sat down with Xu Xuanzhu. At this time, the emperor began to praise the merits of the generals separately, and every time they arrived, this person would get up and toast, but except for the glass of wine that began to toast Liu Yu and Xu Xuanzhu, the emperor drank it all, and the other generals' toasts were only superficial, otherwise the body of the iron beat could not support it after drinking a cup of wine.

A round of toasting is over and the cabaret show begins.

Liu Yu originally thought that he could see Sima Xuan'er or the group of nuns appearing, but he didn't expect that it was a group of palace ladies who appeared first. The emperor explained that this was a dance choreographed by Li Guifei for the soldiers returning from the expedition.

This dance is obviously too watery, just a group of palace ladies wearing gorgeous clothes and twisting there, at most like a flower stamen together a few times, nothing new. However, all the generals understood that this was Concubine Li's intention, and she was really far away from women for too long, and when she saw Yingying Yanyan, she couldn't help but be hot, and she was fascinated by it.

At the end of the song, the people are still unsatisfied. At this time, it was the turn of the dance performance choreographed by the song and dance workshop, and the eunuch began to move the drum set to the middle of the venue.

When Sima Xuan'er appeared in front of everyone wearing a "feather coat" that could cover her body a little, the generals who were hot blood and wine had long since stopped squinting, and their eyes could no longer be pulled out.

Sima Xuan'er could obviously see that she was a little nervous, and her ankle was wrapped in an ankle brace, and the injury should not have healed. In this way, she still has to go into battle with injuries, which shows how strong she is.

The soundtrack is a guzheng song, and the sound is very strong, with a solemn atmosphere. Sima Xuan'er took the wooden sword, jumped onto the lowest drum set, and began the performance.

Performing on a drum set, he is dressed in a feather coat as light as a swallow, which is breathtaking. Sima Xuan'er also gradually found her senses, and her posture changed from a little rigid at the beginning to stretched.

Everyone was fascinated, but Liu Yu was not very interested. No matter how good the dance is, if you watch it a few more times, you will also have aesthetic fatigue. Just when Liu Yu thought that this improved "Dance of Neon Clothes and Feathers" would end in a gorgeous way, Sima Xuan'er on the drum set suddenly noticed Liu Yu's existence with a sideways look.

After a moment, the person lost his balance again, like a kite with a broken string sliding from Liu Yu's eyes and falling heavily to the ground.

"Whew! Swish! Swish! ”

Even if the wooden sword in the hand of the dancing girl was not threatening, perhaps the sound of the drum frame collapsing was too tragic, and the incident happened too suddenly, and Wu Wu, who had the imperial sword to bring the sword into the hall, almost drew the sword at the same time. At this time, the guards of the Imperial Forest Army also poured in and pressed Sima Xuan'er, who was already stunned, to the ground.
