Chapter 715: Purpose
As he spoke, he glanced at a tiger with golden hair and a majestic majesty entrenched at the entrance of the hall, and when he saw Prince Anfeng walking in, the tiger walked in front of him to open the way, and the posture was incredible.
Prince Anfeng looked at Emperor Ming Yuan and said: "After a few years, the emperor's nephew also impressed this king, and now the Northern Tang Dynasty is prosperous and prosperous under your rule, and it is doing very well!" ”
Prince Anfeng is not smiling, and when he speaks, he has a serious attitude, even if there is a touch of gentleness in his eyes, but in the eyes of Emperor Ming Yuan, it is still shocking to all directions.
After Prince An Feng finished speaking, he looked sideways at the Emperor Taishang, and his expression softened a little, "It can be seen that you have chosen a good heir." ”
The Emperor Taishang also smiled, "Yes, Lone is very satisfied." ”
In a word, the praise of the Emperor Taishang to the emperor was exhausted.
Prince Anfeng looked at Yu Wenhao again and nodded slightly at him.
Yu Wenhao bowed his hand and saluted again.
Over there, Princess An Feng sat next to Princess An, she and Princess An were originally from the same line, but Princess An had never gotten along with her, and she looked very restrained and cramped.
The Queen Mother looked at Princess Anfeng and sighed, "Come to think of it, the old body and the princess have not seen each other for more than 20 years, God treats you well, you are about the same age as the old body, but you look much younger than the old body." ”
Princess Anfeng smiled, "If you don't have anything to worry about, your life is comfortable, so you naturally look younger, unlike the Queen Mother who takes care of the huge harem in the palace and works hard in everything." ”
The Queen Mother smiled, "Yes, so the old body said that Prince Anfeng and Princess Anfeng are blessed." ”
The banquet began, and the palace people came in with exquisite dishes in their hands, and this exquisite meal looked very good-looking, but due to the cold weather, it was already cold from the imperial dining room to the Guangming Palace, and the entrance was not delicious at all.
Fortunately, there was a soup at the beginning, and when the soup came up, it was still steaming, and as for other cold dishes, everyone was used to it.
Princess Anfeng was very kind to Princess An, and when she saw that she hadn't taken a few mouthfuls of soup, she said: "You are weak, drink more soup, the dish is cold, so eat two bites less." ”
Princess An was immediately flattered and hurriedly said, "Yes!" ”
"How are you doing?"
Princess Anfeng simply stopped her chopsticks, and when she saw that her teeth chattered, she said helplessly: "Did I sit next to you and make you nervous?"
Just treat me like an ordinary elder. ”
"Yes, yes!"
Princess An agreed again, but she was more nervous than Fang Cai.
Prince Anfeng said to Rong Yue, who was sitting next to Yuan Qingling: "Princess Huai, if you come over, I will change seats with you." ”
When Princess An heard this, she immediately said, "I...... I'm going to go and can't let you go. ”
After she finished speaking, she felt that it was inappropriate, if she passed, wouldn't she ask the crown princess to move her position?
However, Yuan Qingling didn't mind, and when she heard her say this, she got up and came over.
Princess An glanced at Yuan Qingling gratefully, and Yuan Qingling smiled and nodded.
After changing positions, the atmosphere became a little lively, because Princess Sun raised her glass and said that she wanted to pay tribute to the Queen Mother and Princess Anfeng.
The Queen Mother responded, the cup was raised, except for Yuan Qingling, everyone raised the glass, Yuan Qingling knew that he couldn't drink enough, and he would look foreign if he drank wine, but if he didn't drink it, he really didn't give face, so he had to also hold up the wine glass and take a sip.
Fortunately, the song and dance performance also began, and no one toasted for a while, and everyone watched the beautiful dancing of the dancers outside.
The sound of silk and bamboo is in the ears, and sometimes there is the sound of drumming, which makes people feel that their hearts are calm for no reason.
Yuan Qingling hoped to end this banquet quickly, because her grandmother was still waiting for her in the mansion for the New Year.
I've been here for two years, and when I celebrated the New Year last year, I still felt very lonely, but after my grandmother came, I felt that the days could take root here, as if life also had a place.
And she is looking forward to the end of the banquet soon, but there is really a shadow, because in the past two years, every time a banquet is held in the palace, there will always be some big or small mess in the end, which is very unpleasant.
Princess Anfeng left the table later, and she didn't know where to go, the dishes had reached the sixteenth course, and she hadn't come back yet.
It wasn't until it was almost the end of the feast that I saw her come in from outside, but her face seemed to be slightly sad.
With so many people here, Yuan Qingling didn't want to ask, but after seeing her sit down, she drank two glasses of wine in a row, as if she was really angry.
Everyone looked at her behavior very strangely, what the hell is going on with this old princess?
After another song and dance, Princess Anfeng said to her: "The atmosphere outside is good, you can go out for a walk with me, I'm full." ”
Yuan Qing Ling couldn't beg for it, "Okay! ”
The two left the table and went out, the night wind was actually very cold, the atmosphere was there, the garden was full of lanterns, and the snow on the ground was covered with firecracker skin, and it was red.
Yuan Qingling didn't wear fur clothes, so he still felt a little cold when he wrapped his cloak tightly.
walked out of the courtyard of the Hall of Light, without speaking, and walked to the First Quarter Moon Pavilion in the Imperial Garden, which was where Princess An had an accident.
After the two entered, Prince Anfeng lowered the curtain to block the cold wind.
After sitting down, Princess Anfeng looked at her and said, "This time I came back, there was something wrong. ”
Yuan Qingling also felt that it was a little strange for them to come back suddenly, and since she was willing to say, she asked, "What's the matter?" ”
"For the sake of the cold marriage, a few days ago, the queen wrote a letter, saying that Concubine Xian did not agree with this family affair, and she was afraid that she would make a mess, so she called me back and persuaded Concubine Xian."
Yuan Qingling is a little strange, the Queen Mother can't persuade this matter, why should Princess Anfeng persuade her?
Besides, why did Princess Anfeng come back for such a small matter?
After all, Concubine Xian is said to not be able to make any trouble, isn't she grounded?
Even if there is no grounding, the queen mother and the emperor have agreed to this matter, and the virtuous concubine will make a fuss in the palace at most, and there will be no major incident.
Princess Anfeng seemed to see her question, and explained: "The Queen Mother called me back, to save Concubine Xian's life, in the end, Concubine Xian is a member of her Su family, but she can't blindly help Concubine Xian, this family affair was facilitated by the emperor, and the Queen Mother must respect the emperor's intentions."
As for the Queen Mother calling me, she asked me to tell Concubine Xian that Leng Yan can be entrusted for life, so that she can rest assured, the Queen Mother probably also thinks that Concubine Xian will sell me this face, as long as she doesn't make trouble, the emperor will not want her life. ”
Yuan Qingling said: "That virtuous ...... What else can happen to the mother?
You can't stop this family business, can you? ”
Prince and Princess Anfeng looked at her, "The people of the Su family have already said outside that Leng Yan is a disciple and is trying to mistreat the princess, how much damage does this cause to Leng Yan's reputation?"
He doesn't care about Leng Yan, but why did the emperor marry Yu Wenling to Leng Yan?
It is because it is necessary to emphasize commerce to develop the economy, improve the status of businessmen, and make businessmen feel that they can be among the upper class, so as to promote development and increase state taxes.
If the court promised a princess to Leng Yan and finally had to bear all kinds of infamy, do you think the businessman would trust the court?
The merchants did not trust the imperial court, but the imperial court had to develop the economy, and in the end, everyone changed the law to avoid paying taxes, which was not against the original intention of the emperor? ”
Yuan Qingling was stunned, she really didn't expect it to be so long-term.
