Chapter 177: This Pair of People
"An An, you have to stay away from that Zhu Chengyi, don't talk to him again."
Ronghua's heart is up and down. Rong An is going to marry the prince, how can he have a relationship with other men? And the other party is still the son of the king of Cyprus, a rough man who doesn't know how to count etiquette, only knows how to spend all day drinking, shouting and killing! It's someone the prince doesn't like!
"You and your mother are so wide!" One or two, they are more worried about her than her own mother.
"An An, that person is not a good match!"
"When did I say I was going to marry him?"
"What to marry? If you have anything to do with him? Can you marry? Yes, he is indeed good-looking, but you must not be blinded by his face! You are a concubine, but no matter how much he behaves, he is also a prince and concubine. He will inherit the king. Can he marry you? At most, I can only accept you as a concubine! Would you like to? For him to leave his homeland, away from his relatives, go to that extremely cold place to suffer wind and frost, become a concubine, and give birth to children......"
"That's it!" Rong An was so annoyed that he drank low, and couldn't help but take the wine cup and drink it all, and then put the wine cup on the table.
Unexpectedly, her moment attracted many people to look at her, and after everyone showed a disdainful expression, they all looked at the male guest seat opposite.
Rong An looked at it, and only then did he realize that Zhu Chengyi on the opposite side was also drinking.
And the guy obviously saw that she had just drunk a cup, and when she smiled at this time, she raised the cup in her hand, and then drank it all in one gulp......
At this time, Rong An also had a headache.
More and more people are looking at her and talking about her. To be precise, it's to look at her and him, and talk about her and him!
She finally understood what sparked everyone's enthusiasm.
Because the emperor hasn't come yet!
Everyone is waiting for the emperor!
If the emperor doesn't come, he can't have a banquet!
And the emperor didn't come, in this hall, only he and her moved the cup in advance!
There are no rules, they don't know how to be polite, they are bold, they are rude and vulgar, and the most ridiculous couple in the entire noble circle of the capital once again did ridiculous things in public!
Once again, he and her became a "beautiful talk" and sent everyone laughing.
And the statement that the absurd pair of people had a mutual intention just now began to spread further among the people who exchanged ears......
Rong An also sighed, this is not what she wants! She's going to do big things! She's Fengge! Got involved with him, she ...... What could she do? Plus the prince there...... It's so annoying!
Ronghua's cheeks were even crimson, and he just wanted to find a hole to drill into. She began to secretly hate again, why Rong An came to the banquet, why he was at the same table with her, why he moved so fast, she couldn't stop it. She was even more worried, afraid that Rong An would have any inappropriate actions in the future, afraid of being implicated, afraid of being laughed at, afraid of drawing water with a bamboo basket......
The two people at the same table were both extremely depressed.
"An An, I see." Ronghua grabbed the handkerchief violently.
"You don't talk about half and hide half, don't say if you don't want to say it!" Rong An resisted the urge to raise his glass and swallow the wine again.
"Someone must be jealous of me, and in order to prevent me from assassinating me, they deliberately use methods to discredit you to drag me down. Therefore, it must be my competitor who is secretly fueling the trouble. Maybe......" Ronghua gritted his teeth, his eyes were red, and he grabbed Rong'an's arm. "I would have asked you to play less with Chang Rufei and them, maybe they ......"
"Are you sick?" Rong An shook off the glory of a frightened bird. "I'm too lazy to pay attention to you."
Today is not a bazaar, and there is only one possibility for a rumor to spread quickly among noble ladies and nobles: that person must not only be in a high position, but also have a certain prestige and spreading power.
There are not many such people today.
Chang Rufei and the others may be able to fan the flames among the girls, but it is impossible to lead the fire all the way to the noblewomen and even the nobles in a short period of time.
Therefore, Rong An suspected that this was the eldest princess's means.
I'm still being implicated.
The other party's target is Zhu Chengyi.
The eldest princess is using her own methods to get rid of Zhu Chengyi's roadblock for her daughter.
Obviously, Zhu Chengyi's fox has also discovered the other party's plan, so he will plan and push the boat down the river, and just raised a glass to himself in public, which not only further implements his rudeness, but also makes this rumor even worse, creating a more appropriate reason for the eldest princess to oppose marriage and a broader stage for her to make power......
Rong An was depressed.
Did he pull himself into the water so repeatedly with his consent?
She glared at her fiercely, but the guy was holding her head to look at the beams of the house, which made her angry and panicked.
Finally, after waiting for a long time, the emperor and queen mother arrived together.
Everyone knelt down and bowed, and after three shouts of long live, the banquet began.
As Chang Rufei said, this is a luncheon full of all kinds of temptations. There is not only a contest of rights, but also a consideration of interests.
Taking advantage of the large number of people today, Zhu Chengyi, who has only been in Beijing for a few days, was introduced to everyone by the emperor again.
Zhu Chengyi still shows a gentlemanly demeanor, not cowardly, not humble or serious, but fortunately he has a good bearing, so he is not so disgusting.
When the emperor faced him, he also rarely showed a little affection.
"This guy was always out of tune in the past, but today everyone recognizes this face clearly, if you see him messing around outside, just come to me to expose it, I will definitely be rewarded."
"Don't, don't!" Zhu Chengyi hurriedly took the wine jug and punished himself three times in one go. "The minister's heart is sincere and frank, why don't you say it. Lu Yao knows the horsepower, the emperor only depends on the performance of the ministers, and the ministers will live up to the emperor's expectations! ”
After that, Zhu Chengyi faced all the guests again and drank three glasses by himself again.
"When I first arrived, there were a lot of rudeness, and I hope everyone present will bear with me and be polite."
The emperor chirped: "You are the one who has the most alcohol to live up to everyone's expectations!" ”
Everyone laughed.
Zhu Chengyi knelt on the ground, saying that his father had just sent a gift list today. The heavy gift is still on the way, but he really can't hold it back, just taking advantage of today's Qixi Festival, he offered a gift list in advance to wish the Great Zhou Guotai and the people peace.
The chamberlain took the gift slip and read it.
100 handles of northern knives. 100 pounds of jerky. Thousands of pounds of mare's milk wine. Weaving 100 blankets. 100 sets of military boots...... There are dozens of Yan'an specialties.
Of course, in the gift list, the most important thing that also made the emperor's eyes shine was 500 horses and 100 thoroughbred foals.
There was a lack of war horses in the Great Zhou Dynasty, not only in this dynasty, but also in the previous dynasties, and the horse politics implemented for hundreds of years were always not so successful. Horses must be raised in cold lands, growing in mountains and deep valleys, with fertile grass and sweet springs...... It is already difficult to meet these conditions. To carve out land from the cultivated land of the common people is tantamount to taking grain and raising horses, and the cost is even greater, and there are always more complaints......
Therefore, the shortage of horses in China, especially the shortage of war horses, has always been a big problem.
Five hundred sounds like a lot, but horses are hard to find, and the number of horses outside Beipingkou is only 20,000. And last year, the Great Zhou tried to buy war horses from the various clans, but the result was "four Yi did not report". Only after Lingbei opened a lot of money when he was looking for a purchase, he bought three hundred.
If you can't raise your own family well, and you can't ask for it, this is the big problem.
