"Yes! The old slave let them serve it. Father-in-law Hong said very respectfully.

Emperor Qing nodded slightly, and then explained to Ye Xuan: "Today, I asked the imperial dining room to make a family banquet, and you all stayed and had a meal with me." ”

The crown prince and the second prince said one after another: "Thank you, Your Majesty Longen, and the sons are grateful!" ”

"Today is a family banquet, don't be as nervous as in the court, just be casual!"

With that, he waved his hand, and several attendants came up and set up the table and cushions.

Seeing this, Ye Xuan thought to himself what kind of medicine Emperor Qing's gourd was selling, so he made a family banquet. However, I have to say that this is a good time for the golden cicada to come out of its shell.

"Your Majesty, since it is a family banquet, the minister will retire first. The eldest princess is still waiting for Weichen and Wan'er to say hello! ”

After Emperor Qing heard this, his brows furrowed, but then he gradually let go, and his eyes like a deep pool gradually brightened, he looked at Ye Xuan and smiled: "Could it be that in your heart, the eldest princess is bigger than me?!" ”

"Or do you think that I have insulted your identity by inviting you, a poet immortal, to dinner!?"

Ye Xuan was slightly stunned, he didn't expect Emperor Qing to say such a thing, Rao is clever tongue, for a while, he had to give up his hand and say: "Weichen doesn't dare..."

"I'm joking with you." As he spoke, the palace maids brought the meal.

Although it is just a family banquet, it is too different from yesterday's New Year's prayer hall, but it is rich and exquisite, and it is still much stronger than ordinary people.

Judging from the point of eating, Emperor Qing is worthy of the title of Mingjun.

"Let's eat!" Emperor Qing said with a smile.

"I'm not feeling well, so I won't eat anything, and I'll watch you eat."

Seeing this, the three of them sat down one after another, and no one dared to move their chopsticks, and Emperor Qing immediately said when he saw this:

"I said, it's not in the court, it's all casual."

The three of them began to move their chopsticks, and for a while, on this small dining table, they were different.

Suddenly, Emperor Qing looked at the prince and said, "I have been plank since I was a child, and I am still a wood now." ”

As he spoke, he pointed to the second prince and continued: "I haven't had a good taste since I was a child, and I still have this virtue. ”

Ye Xuan listened to what Emperor Qing said, and he had already understood that this royal meal was not for people to eat.

"Ye Xuan!" Emperor Qing smiled slightly and said.

"The minister is here!" Ye Xuan replied calmly.

Emperor Qing immediately made a puzzled look and said softly: "The two of them, who do you like?!" ”

"Family dinner, whatever you want!"

A layer of stone stirs up a thousand waves!

This problem of Emperor Qing is undoubtedly to roast Ye Xuan on the fire, and if he is not careful, the prince and the second prince will be offended on both sides!

You don't see, in the original book, Fan Xian avoided this problem by avoiding it. But if it is placed above the court, without the slightest position, and people who do not belong to either of the two princes and the crown prince, will be regarded as outliers by the two factions.

Ye Xuan didn't seem to expect Emperor Qing to throw out such a question, and after being slightly stunned, he smiled and said: "This is a big crime to talk about the royal family, not to mention the crown prince, Weichen doesn't dare!" ”

"It's all said to be a family feast, just talk about it, no matter the crime!" Emperor Qing smiled, as if he had long thought that Ye Xuan would come up with such a statement.

The crown prince and the second prince instantly became nervous, for fear that Ye Xuan's words would lower Emperor Qing's evaluation of himself.

Since ancient times, the emperor has asked his courtiers a lot about the establishment of a prince, and sometimes, a word from a courtier can make the emperor change his mind.

The authorities are confused, and the bystanders are clear.

As an emperor, how can you not understand this truth?!

Just like when Lao Cao asked Jia Xu about the issue of establishing a reserve, Jia Xu said that he would not be virtuous, which completely cut off the possibility of Cao Zhi's accession to the throne.

There was also when Ming Chengzu asked his subordinates, and they directly returned a good holy grandson, directly in the emperor's heart, putting an end to the possibility of other princes ascending the throne.

Ye Xuan replied with a wry smile: "I am optimistic about Your Majesty, who in this world dares not to be optimistic about Your Majesty!" ”

"You kid, you're slippery!" Emperor Qing smiled, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, as if he was secretly sighing in his heart about this young man, and changed the subject.

I have to say that Ye Xuan's answer is indeed ingenious, that is, he dodged the fatal question of Emperor Qing, and did not offend the crown prince and the second prince.
