Chapter 52: Royal Brothers
Standing up and half-bowing, Gu Yufei responded with a smile: "Where is the prince, no matter what, the prince is the royal family of Western Chu, with noble blood, not to mention the minister, even the father of the family, he is not as noble as the prince!" ”
"Really?" Eyebrows and eyes were lightly raised, and Bei Mingyi asked lightly.
During the reign of Emperor Xuan, he intended to suppress the power of the major families, but after all, he still failed to shake the Gu family, but let the Gu family take advantage of the loophole.
Just when Emperor Xuan was growing in power and was ready to deal with the Gu family wholeheartedly, he suddenly died, and since then Gu Shichong has covered the sky with one hand, even in today's sainthood, he has not taken it seriously, let alone a down-and-out prince.
This point, Bei Mingyi knew very well in his heart, he didn't say it explicitly, but the disdain in his eyes had already revealed his thoughts.
"Of course!" Gu Yufei took over and said: "Over the years, thanks to the prince's tireless work and guarding the border passes, the country of Western Chu has been peaceful and peaceful, and the prince is the hero of Western Chu!" ”
The words were light and light, but Gu Yufei's dark eyes had a look of worry hidden in them.
Life in the frontier is bitter and cold, but it is also the place that can exercise people's minds the most, and today's Beimingyi is no longer an ignorant teenager who left the imperial city five years ago.
"Yes, Brother Gu is right, in the past few years, the border has been stable, and the third emperor brother has made great contributions, and this time when he comes back, the royal brother will definitely be rewarded!"
After coming back to his senses, Bei Mingchen took over with a smile and said, "However, this king doesn't seem to lack anything from the Third Emperor Brother now!" ”
He touched his chin thoughtfully, and after a while, Bei Yingchen turned his words around and said, "Perhaps, the third emperor brother lacks a woman!" ”
Bei Mingyi's words were full of provocation, although he was peaceful on the surface, Bei Mingchen could feel the tension between the two of them, so he took the words at the right time to ease the atmosphere.
"Women?" The evil smiled evilly, Bei Mingyi didn't say anything, but he heard another man's voice not far away.
"Ah Chen, when will you be able to restrain yourself if you have no serious temperament, the Third Emperor Brother and you are not a person of the same way!" Smiling lightly, Bei Mingyan said with a slight disgust.
"Why don't the Third Emperor Brothers send someone to send me a message in advance when they come back, I might as well arrange in advance to pick up the wind and wash the dust for the Three Emperor Brothers!" Turning to the North Stylist, the North Stygian continued.
"Today is a rare good day, even if the king does not come back, after the hunt is over, won't there be a banquet in the palace? It's good to leave a place for this king at the banquet, so why bother going to great lengths! Glancing at Bei Mingyan with cold eyes, Bei Mingyi said arrogantly.
When Bei Mingyi left, Bei Mingyan was still just a prince, and Bei Mingyan's biological mother Li was not from a high background, so Bei Mingyi never took his younger brother in his eyes.
Emperor Xuan died mysteriously, and Bei Mingyan inexplicably sat on the throne, who knows what is hidden in this.
Bei Mingyi didn't recognize Bei Mingyan as the emperor, and it was rumored that Bei Mingyan was weak and incompetent, and let Gu Shichong handle it, and Bei Mingyi looked down on him in his heart, so he didn't mean to salute Bei Mingyan at all.
"That's what the Third Emperor Brother said! Tonight's National Day banquet is also regarded as a banquet to welcome the return of the three emperor brothers, so it kills two birds with one stone! He responded with a faint smile, and Bei Mingyan was not surprised by Bei Mingyi's rudeness.
"The dinner party starts, it's still early, let's continue to hunt separately!" Falling this sentence, Bei Yingyan rode his horse and turned around.
Everyone also dispersed, looking for their prey, staring towards the back of Bei Mingyi, and Bei Mingchen's heart unconsciously gave birth to a bad premonition.
Towards the end of the day, the hunters returned to the palace one after another, and all the prey they had hunted today was brought back by the guards.
"What a fruitful day! It's a pity that I couldn't share it with the prince! Looking at the prey piled up into a hill, Gu Yufei said to the North Styx Dust beside him as he walked.
"The important thing is to be happy, and there will be opportunities after the exchange!" Bei Mingchen responded casually, and walked into the Liuli Palace and found a suitable place to sit down.
The glazed palace is the place where the royal family holds important banquets, just like the name of the palace, this glazed palace is topped with glaze, and the round pillars supporting it are all colored glaze, which is magnificent, and does not lose its solemnity, showing the royal style.
Bei Yingchen sat down relatively early, and after a while, the princes and ministers all walked in one after another.
Finding a place opposite the North Styx Dust, the North Styx Yijing sat down, playing with the wine glass in his hand, he always held his head high, looking like no one in his eyes, but the afterglow unconsciously skimmed towards the North Stygian Dust.
Bei Mingchen naturally felt it, but he didn't pay attention to it, just smiled casually and responded to the minister who came to greet him.
Hunting is a man's business, but the palace banquet, the ladies of each province are also invited to participate, men and women, in and out, only a moment of effort, the glass palace will be lively.
Not long after Bei Mingyan ascended the throne, he had not yet been canonized as a queen, and the highest status in his harem belonged to the two concubines.
One of them is Concubine Liu, named Liu Qingyi, the younger sister of Liu Hanjun, the commander of the Praetorian Guard, while the other is Concubine Qiao, named Qiao Youyan, the daughter of Qiao Zeyin, the prince of the dynasty.
Bei Mingyan took the two concubines into the Liuli Palace, and after taking a seat in the center of the hall, the ministers saluted the three imperial concubines together, and then the banquet officially began.
As the princess of the main family, He Muwan naturally had to participate in such a royal banquet, sitting beside Bei Yingchen, but He Muwan's mind was not on him at all.
From time to time, his eyes glanced at Bei Mingyan who was sitting on him, but Bei Mingyan never looked at her squarely, but Bei Mingyi on the other side looked at He Muwan intentionally or unintentionally, as if he had infinite interest in this woman.
The restlessness on the woman's face all fell into the afterglow of Bei Yingchen, and Jun's face sank, but he still ignored it after all, and went straight to socialize.
Singing and dancing, staggered, such a noisy scene is really not He Muwan's liking, not long after the banquet, she silently retreated from the glass palace.
Without the extravagant taste of the black smoke miasma, He Muwan felt that the air outside was very fresh, and he wandered around the Liuli Palace at will, and He Muwan didn't notice that there was a person behind him all the time.
Suddenly someone pulled him from behind, and before He Muwan could react, his back hit the wall directly.
A stout arm skimmed over her shoulders and propped up against the wall. He Muwan wanted to escape, but was blocked.
"Who are you and what are you going to do?" Raising his eyes to the strange man in front of him, He Muwan said with a frightened expression.
