Cheng Xiaoxiao hid behind the pillar and peeked at the west side.

Chu Yunshen is the protagonist of the celebration banquet today, so he must be sitting in the first seat.

Cheng Xiaoxiao raised her eyes and looked at the position of the first seat on the west side, where Chu Yunshen was not sitting, but a man in gorgeous clothes with a length of seven feet and eight inches.

The man looked like he was about sixteen years old, with sword eyebrows and sideburns, and phoenix eyes.

And Chu Yunshen opened the second seat, and was about to sit on the third seat, and Xiao Wu stood behind him.

Cheng Xiaoxiao was a little strange, wasn't today's celebration banquet specially organized for Chu Yunshen?

Isn't he supposed to be the first to sit in the table?

How is someone else sitting there?

That boy is too blind, isn't he?

And Chu Yunshen is so strange, it doesn't matter if he doesn't sit in the first seat, but the second seat is still empty.

Why did he sit in the third seat?

Just when Cheng Xiaoxiao was puzzled, suddenly several officials led by He Deyong, the head of the household department, walked towards Chu Yunshen.

She was so frightened that she immediately retracted her body back into the pillar, so dangerous!

Almost discovered.

When she hid behind Chu Yunshen, she clearly heard the sound of He Deyong and several officials saluting Chu Yunshen.

"Xiaguan has seen the prince."

"These are the small gifts prepared by the lower officials for the prince, and I hope the prince will accept it with a smile."

"Let it go."

Chu Yunshen nodded lightly at them, then turned his head to look at Xiao Wu, who hurriedly stepped forward to accept the gifts of those officials one by one.

"What a pride! I really don't understand that this King Jing is obviously guilty, but he just solved a small case, and he celebrated his achievements in such a big battle. ”

A man in a military attache uniform handed the congratulatory gift to Xiao Wu and complained to another military attache on the way back to his seat.

The other military attache glanced at Chu Yunshen, who had been sitting in the seat behind him with a cold face, and shhed at him: "You be quiet." Don't want to die? He is a sinful body, and he is also the son of the emperor. ”

Cheng Xiaoxiao observed behind the pillar for a long time, and it was nothing more than some officials giving gifts to Chu Yunshen.

She was bored and looked around, when suddenly her eyes were drawn to the golden chair that lay directly above the hall.

Cheng Xiaoxiao hid all the way, and soon reached the pillar next to the chair engraved with the dragon, she looked over, everyone just chatted with others, and no one noticed her.

She slipped behind the chair and stretched out her cat's paw to touch it a few times, pure gold! That's a lot of money!

The cat's paw touched the dragon pattern carved on the armrest little by little, it was really worth entering the palace this time, she actually touched a chair made of pure gold, if she could sit on it like that, it would be better, Cheng Xiaoxiao thought secretly.

It's just that Cheng Xiaoxiao glanced at the queen next to the chair.

Forget it, just touch it.

"Fourth brother!"

Suddenly, a familiar voice came from below, Cheng Xiaoxiao poked out a small head from behind the chair and looked, only to see Chu Hongyi sitting on the second seat next to Chu Yunshen, pointing to the first seat next to him and saying, "Why don't you sit here." ”

Chu Yunshen lowered his head and took a sip of tea, then put down the teacup and said lightly: "I'm used to it." ”

"But that position is your position, so naturally you should be sitting?" Chu Hongyi pulled Chu Yunshen's sleeve unhappily.

Cheng Xiaoxiao shook her head slightly and sighed, it's a pity.

If it weren't for his mother's concubine, with Chu Hongyi's innocent and lovely temperament, how could Chu Yunshen's big iceberg not be melted by him.

"Hongyi!"

The man in Chinese clothes who was sitting in the first seat suddenly put down the teacup, turned his head and shouted, Chu Hongyi said, "Fourth brother, this is called self-knowledge." ”

"Starling, this position belongs to the fourth brother! Hurry up! ”

Chu Hongyi immediately got up and pulled Chu Jingshuo next to him.

Chu Jingshuo shook Chu Hongyi away, and said with displeasure on his face: "Hongyi, didn't the fourth brother just say, he is used to sitting there!" ”

Saying that, Chu Jingxuan glanced at Chu Yunshen, "But the younger brother remembers that the fourth brother used to sit at the bottom of the seat. When did you get used to this third seat? ”

The hair on Cheng Xiaoxiao's body exploded in an instant, this Eighth Prince doesn't look very old, why does he speak so meanly!

not only sat in the position that belonged to Chu Yunshen, but also kept making remarks to ridicule Chu Yunshen.

But apart from sitting there drinking tea, Chu Yunshen didn't even say a word to defend himself.

"Starling!" Chu Hongyi suddenly let go of Chu Jingxuan, glared at Chu Jingxuan condescendingly, and said, "Today's celebration banquet is for the fourth brother!" If you sit in the position of the fourth brother, you are not afraid that your father will be angry? ”

"Do you think my father will be angry with him for such a trivial matter?"

"Hongyi, don't be stupid!" Chu Jingxuan glanced at Chu Hongyi, took a sip of the teacup, and continued: "Are you really willing to hold a celebration banquet for him?" If it weren't for the queen mother's repeated performances to invite his father, his father would not have bothered to celebrate for him! ”

"You talk nonsense!" Chu Hongyi clenched his fists and glared at Chu Jingshuo fiercely.

"You're all early, huh?"

At this moment, a young man about sixteen years old was late.

He first saluted the three ladies on the main seat, and then walked to Chu Yunshen to sit at the table, bowed to Chu Yunshen and said, "Congratulations to the fourth brother for cracking a big case as soon as he took office." ”

After speaking, he asked the guard behind him to hand over a box, "Fourth brother, this is a little gift from my brother." ”

"Thank you, Seventh Brother." Chu Yun nodded at him, then glanced at Xiao Wu behind him, and motioned for him to accept the congratulatory gift.

Xiao Wu immediately stepped forward to receive the congratulatory gift from the guard.

"Eighth brother, fourteenth brother." Chu Yelin nodded to the first and second seats of King Qing Chu Jingxuan and King Xuan Chu Hongyi respectively, and then sat down in the fourth seat next to Chu Yunshen.

"Seventh brother." Chu Hongyi got up and saluted Chu Yelin.

And Chu Jingshuo glanced at Chu Yelin, picked up the teacup and drank the tea.

"Fourth brother, what good things did the seventh brother give you?"

Chu Yunshen gave Xiao Wu a look, and Xiao Wu walked behind Chu Hongyi with the box and opened the box, "Here, His Royal Highness King Xuan." ”

"This ginseng is a hundred years old, right? Brother Qi really has a heart. ”

Chu Hongyi happily looked at Chu Yelin who was sitting in the four seats, "The birthday of the younger brother is coming, and at that time, the seventh brother will also give the younger brother a ginseng like this, okay?" ”

"Humph!"

Before Chu Yelin could speak, Chu Jingxuan next to Chu Hongyi snorted coldly.

Chu Hongyi turned his head to look at the guards behind Chu Jingxuan, whose hands were empty, there was nothing, and he said unhappily: "Starling brother, you won't bring any congratulatory gifts to the fourth brother, right?" Stingy! ”

Chu Jingshuo snorted coldly and said lightly: "I have prepared a big gift for the fourth brother, but I can't take it out until all the people are full!" ”

"Show off when you give a gift." Chu Hongyi pouted.

"What did you say!"

Chu Jingxuan looked at Chu Hongyi coldly, and Chu Hongyi asked the guards to move the stool and table closer to Chu Yunshen, and then turned his head to Chu Jingxuan and said, "Brother Chen, I'm looking forward to what gift you have prepared for the fourth brother." ”

"We'll see."

Saying that, Chu Jingxuan glanced at Chu Yunshen meaningfully, "This gift, the fourth brother must like it." ”

Chu Yunshen also looked at Chu Jingxuan, the corners of his mouth curved, and it was a sneering arc, "Then the king is here to thank the eighth brother first." ”

"Since these seven princes succeeded to the queen's side, they have become more and more sensitive."

A delicate voice with a little demon and a little soft with a little charm suddenly came from the lower right seat of the main seat.

Cheng Xiaoxiao cautiously poked her head out from behind her chair.

I saw that the woman wearing the pale green flower palace dress raised her weak and boneless slender hand lightly, pointed at the young man who had just given Chu Yunshen a gift, and said, "It's still good for the queen to teach, if it is placed in his mother, Concubine Zhang, it would be a pity to have such a good seedling." ”

As she spoke, the milky white jade bracelet she was carrying on her wrist touched the corner of the table, and the warm mutton fat jade made a pleasant jingle sound.

Zhao Guifei humbled herself. According to the palace, the eighth prince also knows how to read and understand etiquette."

Empress Wenyan picked up the teacup from the table, then glanced at Chu Jingxuan, who was sitting in the first seat, and laughed coldly in her heart, just like his mother, she was a smug person

Then he took a sip of tea and slowly continued: "Not long ago, this palace heard that the Holy Lord was still praising the Eighth Prince's article in the Shang Shufang. ”

When Zhao Guifei heard the queen talk about the saint's praise of her family's Jing Shuo's article, the smugness between her eyebrows was all on her face, "Jing Shuo, this child has been smart and agile since he was a child. The saint often said in front of his concubines that Jing Shuo was exactly the same as when he was a child. Even the talking and walking ......"

Before Zhao Guifei finished speaking, Su Guifei, who was sitting in the lower left seat of the main seat, interjected coldly: "Really?" The concubine felt that the fourth prince was more saintly in the past, you see that he has repeatedly made military exploits at a young age, and he has cracked another big case as soon as he returns to Beijing. ”

"The fourteenth prince is not bad, he was crowned by the saint early at a young age, this is the first time in all dynasties." Saying that, the queen and Concubine Su glanced at each other, the sparks in her eyes crackled, Cheng Xiaoxiao, who was hiding behind the chair, felt that she was fortunate to have crossed into a cat, if she was worn into this harem, she was afraid that she would not survive the next day!

"What about the king." Zhao Guifei pinched a crystal clear grape on the plate, then raised it to her lips, and her red cardamom nails lined the grapes with water: "Jing Shuo was able to export a chapter at the age of seven, and the saint rewarded him with a dragon pendant at that time, saying that he was talented and intelligent." With that, he shoved the grapes into his mouth.

"My sister is right." Su Guifei glanced at Zhao Guifei in the opposite seat, slowly picked up a delicate little snack, and said, "Just like this pastry, when it is not formed, it is just dough." Even if it falls to the ground, no one will take a second look. But if it is kneaded into such a shape by human hands, if it falls to the ground, it will be distressing. ”

As she spoke, Su Guifei's hand loosened, and the dim sum fell to the ground.

Cheng Xiaoxiao's eyes glared at Su Guifei fiercely, it's a shame to waste food!

You talk as you speak, what do you do when you throw away the snacks!

Such good stuff!

It's a shame to fall to the ground.

"What does Su Guifei mean by this?"

Saying that, Zhao Guifei raised her eyes and looked at the queen sitting on the main seat, but the queen lowered her head and took a sip of tea without saying anything.

She looked at Concubine Su again, "Do you want to say that the queen mother's father, the dignified abbot, can't educate children?" ”

What kind of pastry is this Su Guifei talking about, she is obviously implying that her son has no one to teach her.

Thinking of this, her eyes darkened, and the grapes in her hand burst to the ground, and she didn't notice the purple juice flowing into her hands!

"Sister, what are you talking about?" Su Guifei smiled lightly: "I mean that the Eighth Prince has been a good material for reading since he was a child, even if my family Hongyi and him were also taught by Mrs. Li from the side." ”

Saying that, Concubine Su glanced at the queen on the main seat, and continued: "But my family Hongyi is not as good as the Eighth Prince, I remember that when I was in the Shang Study Room before, only the eldest prince and the eighth prince were always praised by the Taifu. Although my family Hongyi was crowned king at a young age, it was just the light that he had a good uncle. ”
