Chapter Eighty-Nine: The Palace Banquet
It turned out that the seat was not so difficult to deal with, but Emperor Gongshun personally ordered the guest secretary Yan Jiao, which really gave the Ministry of Rites a headache for a while, this across the four countries in the business expert, the five princes of Beiyong Li Qi came to condole together, only to think that it could be arranged to the guest seat outside the palace, first to the emperor to mention, and then there is Li Qi area, it is really difficult to arrange.
Fortunately, the Ministry of Rites took a long look at the state funeral envoys' mourning, and saw the handsome face similar to that of the wife of the Prince of Xiyao, and after investigation, I realized that the two were from the Pei family in Jile Mountain, the Pei family! Who doesn't know about Kyushu Island?
The Pei family, who never appeared in the court, was actually in Nanchu for the first time, and how glorious was the face of the Emperor Gongshun?
So the Ministry of Rites arranged the position of Keqing Yan Jian between Li Qi and Cheng Yun, which not only met the requirements of Emperor Gongshun, but also the intention of wanting to promote the Pei family.
The Son of Heaven lit the chopsticks, the wine was full of three, the courtiers of the clan took turns to salute and congratulate, and the envoys of various countries also congratulated one after another, until it was the turn of Yan Jiao, the only guest in the palace.
Bo Yi took the New Testament and the rosewood box explained by Yan Jiao and knelt on the brocade carpet, and said respectfully: "Yan Jiao, the grass people, meet Your Majesty, long live, long live, long live, long live." β
Gongshun Di Yang raised his hand and asked politely, "Mr. Yan, please get up!" Since he is known as a guest, why do he still call himself a grass people? β
"The grass people dare not forget their ancestors, and the Pei family's ancestors dare not forget." Bo Yi fell to his knees and did not dare to get up.
Emperor Gongshun wantonly waved the rosewood box presented on it, and the contract was the same as that of the first emperor, the only difference was that there were more million silver tickets as a gift.
He leaned over, his eagle eyes looked back and forth at the "Yan Ji" in front of him, he got up and met his eyes, that demeanor and appearance, inexplicably disgusted him, frowned lightly and sneered and asked: "Is Mr. bullying the king or does he dare to forget his ancestors?" You really have to discern it. β
"The grass people don't know Your Majesty's holy will, and they still hope that Your Majesty will make it clear." Bo Yi still lowered his head and didn't dare to get up, Emperor Gongshun was suspicious, knowing that this trip was not easy, and he didn't dare to make a mistake.
Emperor Gongshun tapped his sword finger twice, and the father-in-law next to him immediately held the oracle in front of Bo Yi, who raised his body and looked at it for a while, and was thrown a shock bomb in the heart lake, but he was still calm, and he smiled indifferently.
He has been in Guiwu Mountain for a few years, how can he not know the truth of what is said in the book? Yan Jiao's singing in this scene made him frightened.
"As far as I know, Yan Xiao, who is in charge of Guiwu Mountain, is a little girl, where did Mr. come from? Why impersonate your identity? Emperor Gongshun couldn't hear the warm and cold tone, but there was a sudden silence in the hall.
"Guiwu Mountain is the sister of the grass people to buy, this is a misunderstanding of the world, the Pei family has never been with the court, but the exception of the sister is well known, Yan Jian is the name of the grass people, I hope Your Majesty will be clear." Bo Yi could only respond according to the script given by Yan Jiao.
Emperor Gongshun sneered twice, and knew that he could not know about it, after all, when the money was in hand, it didn't matter to him who came to congratulate him, and he could still have a million taels of tribute to Wushan every year, which was also a good thing in Nanchu.
However, for some reason, for the man kneeling on the brocade carpet, his eyes wandered several times during the banquet, and he thought of the brother who was on his bookcase and hated it deeply, and couldn't help but want to provoke it again and again.
"The grass people were weak and sick, and the medicine was ineffective, and my grandmother found a fortune teller to change the name and surname of the grass people to continue her life, and at that time she also asserted that the sister was born with a male name to survive, so the male and female names and the female and male names." In the silent court, only Bo Yi calmly stated.
"The Pei family has never interacted with the court, and what Mr. Nature said is unverifiable." Emperor Duanshun tapped his index finger on the dragon chair, but he still didn't mean to let Bo Yi get up, and suddenly there was a burst of laughter like a silver bell.
"Bold! Who is making a noise in the court? The eunuch looked around for laughter, and searched for sounds, coming from the white jade Quping female seat behind the prince of Xiyao's regent.
"The son of the world is so bad! Seeing that my brother couldn't argue, and the emperor suspected Dou, he didn't help to confirm it? Yan Jiao held a black silk fan, wearing a long skirt embroidered with juan yarn and gold silk, and three pink jade thinly carved butterflies on the flowing cloud bun were light and smart, Emei was lightly swept, the autumn water was bright and smart, and the thin powder delphia added softness, and the butterfly danced in the wind step by step.
The eunuchs and courtiers in front of the palace have forgotten the rule that women are not allowed to go to the front table, and Emperor Duanshun is even more difficult to hide his amazement, and he hunts for its beauty wantonly.
The palace maid next to her came to her seat by express, Cheng Yun's face was light and light, hiding the idea that he hoped that Bo Yi would suffer a little more, who let him take up Yan Yao's time for nearly six days, and welcomed her to sit beside her and comforted: "Brother can say it clearly." β
"No one can bully my brother!" Yan Jiaojiao defended Bo Yi with hatred.
In just a few words, he slapped Emperor Duan Shun a few times.
"Dare to ask the nobles, my brother is grateful to His Majesty for giving him a seat, and he bowed to the nobleman according to the courtesy of the guest and bowed to the nobleman by half a section? Don't the nobles know that the Pei family does not worship the courtiers of the Son of Heaven? Our brothers and sisters haven't knelt down to Emperor Yongde yet! Yan Jiao's voice was soft and glutinous, but she questioned the emperor sonorously.
These words were extremely disrespectful in the ears of the courtiers of Southern Chu, but they were something that the four kingdoms knew well, and they thought that Emperor Gongshun arranged for Keqing to come forward in order to win over the Pei family, but he never thought that it was a humiliation of kneeling on the ground, and he has not yet gotten up.
"The little woman borrowed the name of her brother and ran the Wushan Mountain, can she harass the nobles? The little woman knows that there are many inconveniences in visiting the court, and she also avoids the seat of your country, so she can only implore her brother to send a new deed and congratulatory gifts on her behalf, and she needs to inform the nobles in advance? Yan Ji snuggled in Cheng Yun's doting embrace, and spoke in a loud voice.
In addition to her own identity, this girl is loud, and now she is the fiancΓ©e of the prince of Xiyao Regent, who dares to look down on her? The words were so wordy that everyone present was drenched in cold sweat.
"If you are a nobleman......."
Cheng Yun's long fingers with distinct bones covered Yan Ji's next words, and patiently persuaded: "Girls can't talk angrily." β
Most of the people also knew that the next step was to withdraw all the trade routes of Southern Chu, and the courtiers were grateful to Cheng Yun.
If you can't drink the wine, you can still say that you can't drink it, forget it, the lady at home can't buy the Huiyan Lu of Yanyanfang, and she can still live until the New Year?
The Ministry of Rites Shangshu has already walked to the brocade carpet to help Boyi first, and there are two people from the regent of Xiyao, who dares to doubt it?
"Mr. Yan is very polite, your kindness Your Majesty has received it." The rest of the words of the Ministry of Rites did not dare to say a word, and were busy sending the hot potato back to the guest seat.
"Tell my brother not to kneel, look! If you don't listen to your sister, you will suffer in front of you. Yan Ji seemed to be afraid that Emperor Gongshun would not hear clearly, and Bo Yi had returned to his seat and had not forgotten to talk.
"The little girl's family is sharp and sharp, and she doesn't know the general situation, please forgive me!" Bo Yi will no longer be called Your Majesty.
"I'm suspicious! I didn't know that the two of them were like this. Emperor Gongshun saw the two sitting side by side, and gradually put down the mustard, and it was inconvenient to ask the name of the lady Fang Ling at the palace banquet, which was also revealed.
The offerings of all parties went smoothly, and while the wine was hot during the banquet, Emperor Gongshun secretly glanced at Yan Ji a few times, and noticed that Bo Yi did not drink too much wine.
"Mr. Yan doesn't drink alcohol, isn't he angry before he has just done it?" Emperor Gongshun asked Bo Yi in his words, and his eyes lingered on Yan Yao.
Her uninhibited temperament is exactly what he likes! It's a pity that the long arm on the shoulder is an eyesore.
"Don't dare! Later, I have to consult with Yan'er about trivial matters, and I don't dare to drink in vain. Bo Yi pretended to inadvertently reveal Yan Jiao's nickname, which aroused more ripples in Emperor Gongshun's heart lake.
"Brother Meng Lang!" Cheng Yun condensed his eyebrows and expressed his displeasure, extremely unhappy that Yan Ji needed to be exposed to the eyes of Emperor Gongshun, especially the obvious covetousness that was not hidden at all.
"Yes! Foolish brother is rude! Bo Yi smiled lightly and returned the salute.
Coincidentally, the chief eunuch personally sent two wine cups and respectfully reported: "The Holy Lord gave wine to the two Mr. Pei family girls." β
"Thank you for the wine, the housekeeper is still young and unbearable to drink, and she can drink this cup in the next generation." After finishing speaking, he didn't wait for an answer, he wanted to drink two lamps in a row, and asked Li Qi to stop him.
"Brother Yan is too much! How can you drink good wine on its own? I'll also drink a cup for Sister Pei! Thank you, Your Majesty! Li Qi raised his glass of thanks and drank it all, and looked at Bo Yi and smiled back to the table.
Suddenly, the two of them knelt down in front of the table with their chests and abdomen, and swept away the wine cup on the case, which made the Guanglu Temple Qingshu tremble, and hurriedly took three steps and one step to the side of the two to ask, afraid that there would be any problems at the table.
"The Fifth Prince? Mr. Yan? What's going on? Guanglu Siqing was about to kneel, and there was no other abnormality when he looked around at the guests in the other seats, and this movement still attracted all the attention.
Thinking of what the eunuch had given, could it be that Emperor Gongshun wanted to get rid of these two brothers and sisters? This thought made Guanglu Siqing even more frightened, it seems that not only is the black yarn not guaranteed, but even the head of Xiang Shang's head is in danger......
The palace banquet is poisoned, and Guanglu Temple can be served in one pot!
"Abdominal pain is like a wrench, what have you prepared for this table?" Li Qi curled up on the rosewood table with his abdomen, holding on to the edge of the coffee table in a cold sweat.
Bo Yi clutched his chest, seemed to be unable to breathe rapidly, leaned his back on the small table, and replied with difficulty: "The grass people can't breathe." β
This question made Guanglu Siqing tremble even more frequently, what can be the problem with the wine, food, fruits and vegetables that are undertaken according to the rules? He looked back again and again at the obedient emperor who was still silent on the throne.
Yan Jiao on the side hurriedly got up, wanting to help her brother and Li Qi up, but she didn't have enough strength, so she could only look back at the man on the throne pitifully, and asked sadly: "What do you mean by this?" β
Emperor Gongshun snatched away his soul for that delicate and sad voice, how could Empress Xu, who had followed Emperor Gongshun for many years, not know the meaning of that look?
Empress Xu knew that no matter what identity that girl was holding today, it was not Emperor Gongshun who had just ascended the throne that could be provoked at will.
The other people at the banquet did not have any discomfort, and it was obvious that the illness that occurred after the emperor gave the wine, she could only be generous, and ordered the arrangement: "Come on, don't hurry up and send a few distinguished guests to the side hall, hurry up and announce that the imperial doctor will enter the palace!" β
Now, she can only recruit her cousin into the palace and use her cousin's hand to smooth this matter!
