Chapter 70: The Queen's Birthday 2
The banquet was in full swing, and the housewives of several small families secretly breathed a sigh of relief, Luo Yu's face was not good-looking at this time, although his daughter had gone too far, but dragging her down and locking her up in front of all the guests, it was tantamount to slapping herself in public and making herself unable to get off the stage, besides, her daughter was delicate and expensive, and she didn't know how frightened she would be when she was locked up in that dark room.
Hong Ling silently gave Chen Jinye a thumbs up, "The prince's plan is really amazing", Chen Jinye quietly hooked the corners of his mouth, and indifferently enjoyed the food on the table.
There are a lot of tricks in the Nanzhao Palace, the dancers dance two or three times and then usher in a large number of musicians, after a little rectification, a piece of music will echo over the entire banquet scene, it can be said that the aftermath is endless, Rao is the guests on the scene have several opportunities to listen every year, but they are still shocked by the pleasant music.
Then came the lengthy theatrical performance, and when the banquet was nearing its end, the king and queen left the table together to hide from the table, so that the guests could be fully enjoyed.
Yesterday in the purple building, Chen Jinye told himself that the queen has always believed in Buddhism, and every once in a while he will go to the temple to worship the Buddha and cultivate, before he handed over to himself the stacks of Buddhist scriptures, which he collected from Tianzhu, coupled with Hongling's personal hand-copied intentions, this gift can be said to be very pleasing to the queen.
So much so that after the banquet, the queen couldn't put it down and held the scriptures in her hands and read them carefully, and the smile between her eyebrows became more and more soft.
With the departure of the queen and the queen, Chen Jinye and Hongling also withdrew from the banquet together and came to the back court.
"Sons and daughters see father, emperor and queen"
The queen then turned to help them up, and glanced in the direction of the king, and the emperor looked at the two of them with a kind smile.
"Ling'er, I didn't expect you to copy these classics by hand, it must have taken a lot of time."
"As long as the queen mother likes it, Ling'er is willing to copy tens of thousands of volumes"
The queen was happy at the moment, "What a good boy", and then looked in the direction of Chen Jinye, pretending to be unhappy and said: "You are busy all day long, and you don't know how to bring Ling'er to the palace for a walk."
Chen Jinye bowed respectfully in the direction of the queen, "Erchen knows, it's a big deal to bring Ling'er into the palace in the future."
The emperor laughed a few times when he heard this, paced over, put his hand on the queen's shoulder, and said: "Hong'er, don't embarrass the two little ones anymore, their young people also have their own lives, besides, you already have me with you, don't you?" ”。
I had long heard that Queen Nanzhao's surname was Zhen Dan's name with a red character, but I didn't expect that in front of Chen Jinye and himself, the king would call her 'Hong'er' so affectionately, Hongling was touched in her heart at the moment, looking at the happy scene of the husband and wife and Chen Jinye looking at each other and smiling, a trace of jealousy secretly arose in her heart.
Seeing Hongling's eyes staring blankly at the interaction of several people, Queen Zhen Hong slowly put her hand on Hongling's hand, "Do you miss your family?" ”。
Hongling's expression moved slightly, her head was slowly bowed, and her eyebrows and eyes revealed a little desolation, Chen Jinye saw her like this, and immediately shook her expression and smiled, he knew how she valued her father, Zhen Hong immediately understood what Chen Jinye's expression contained, and she also felt a sense of relief in her heart, although this Liu Linger is a foreign princess, as long as her son likes it, then she also likes it.
The queen moved slightly, approached Hongling, and slowly hugged her into her arms, "If you are homesick in the future, you will come to the palace to find the queen mother."
Hong Ling's heart immediately set off a stormy wave, glanced sideways at Wang Shang, only to see him nod towards his determined smile, Hong Ling suddenly felt a hot current surging in her heart, tears immediately overflowed her eyes, she hugged Zhen Hong tightly, whimpered a few times, trembled with excitement and said: "Thank you, Queen Mother!" ”。
Zhen Hong saw that she was uncomfortable, so she took Hongling to sit in the courtyard and said what her daughter's family was thinking, leaving only Wang Shang and Chen Jinye in the palace.
"Ye'er, the hydrological map you mentioned last time was indeed Ling'er's idea, right?"
"It was her idea, what does my father think is wrong?"
The emperor smiled gently, now that Ye'er can get such a good wife, he really doesn't have to worry about anything, it's just ......
"Ye'er, my father already knows about the disaster of the rebirth of the west"
Chen Jinye was stunned, obviously he had suppressed this matter for the time being, how could his father know.
"I'm really worried about my father, if the west can't be stabilized, I will hand over the court to you in the future, I'm afraid that people with ulterior motives inside and outside will be uneasy, your mother's birthday has passed, you can take Ling'er to the west in a few days to see for yourself"
"Father, I don't want to hide that my sons and daughters also have this intention, but I'm afraid I will have to postpone it for half a month."
"Why?"
"Erchen has been busy building a force to compete with the Luo clan recently, and it has just begun, I want to wait for this foundation to be laid before setting off."
When the emperor heard this, he sighed slowly, and then paced to the door for a few steps, and saw the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law chatting happily in the courtyard, and felt a little relieved, "I didn't expect that the marriage with Tianpu would make you meet the person you really like, and I am very relieved for my father."
Chen Jinye was stunned at the moment, "Favorite person? She is not the person of her son's affection."
The emperor immediately raised his eyebrows and looked at Chen Jinye, "The way you looked at her just now was obviously nervous, and if you don't like it, why are you embarrassed by Luo at the banquet today?" I saw you smiling at the banquet, but I secretly laughed a few times."
Chen Jinye blinked a few times and looked at his father in a daze, he actually peeked at himself, and his face turned red when he rubbed it, "Erchen and Ling'er just have a deep friendship, besides, besides, Erchen already has a favorite person."
"Oh?" The emperor raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at Chen Jinye with a suspicious expression, seeing that he was full of crampedness, he couldn't help but think of Chen Jinye's appearance when he was a young man, so he immediately snorted lightly, it seems that he doesn't know his true heart very well, and it seems that this kind of thing has always been honed and honed more, "That's it, it's ......", and then he swayed his steps to the tea table in the inner compartment.
Chen Jinye sighed slightly, relieved his inexplicably beating heart, and followed.
"Father, what are you going to do with the Luo clan?"
The emperor glanced at Chen Jinye nonchalantly, "What do you want to do?" ”
"Well, how many days do you want to be locked up?"
"I'm okay with that"
So, Luo Luoyu's fate in the past few days was quietly decided by these two people, poor Luo Luoyu has been hoping that Chen Jinye will take her back to the mansion against all odds, but even on the day she returned to the house, she was only alone in a simple carriage, and only Xiaohua greeted her.
Zhen Hong, who was outside the courtyard, held Hongling's hand and chatted for a long time, and carefully told Hongling about Chen Jinye's youth.
It is said that when Chen Jinye was still a teenager, he was also a rebellious little Langjun, and every time he got into trouble, he hid tremblingly beside Zhen Hong, but even so, his father beat him in the ass.
It is said that once he secretly went out of the palace to catch fish alone, and disappeared quietly for three days as soon as he left, when the palace was almost about to turn over and did not find him, the queen mother cried for two whole days, he swaggered back to the palace wearing the clothes of a eunuch, and proudly carried his spoils to Zhen Hong to show off, the emperor hated at the time, and beat his ass with his own hands, and then locked him up for half a month before he was released.
Hongling couldn't help but laugh when she heard this, she didn't expect Chen Jinye, who often pretended garlic in front of her coldly, to have such an unbearable past when she was a child.
"What are you talking about and being so happy?"
Seeing Chen Jinye come to the two like a spring breeze, Zhen Hong and Hong Ling looked at each other and smiled, then staggered, and replied very seriously: "Nothing, nothing."
It was rare for the two of them to be so happy, so Chen Jinye didn't ask any more, only told the queen that it was getting late, and then took Hongling out of the palace.
Seeing that she was giggling strangely at herself all the way, Chen Jinye realized that something was wrong, "What did the queen mother say to you?" ”。
I saw Hongling slowly sit up, holding back a smile, "No, I didn't say anything", and then secretly opened the corners of her mouth in the direction of the window.
Chen Jinye leaned on the side helplessly and slowly closed his eyes, and suddenly asked coldly, "Did you go back and ask Xiaoqing yesterday?" What did she say? ”。
Hongling really stopped smiling, pursed her mouth and said, "I always feel that Xiaoqing has something to hide from me, and she talks a lot."
"Really?"
Seeing that Hongling seemed to be in deep thought, Chen Jinye couldn't help but say again: "What are you thinking?" ”。
Hongling slowly turned her neck, stared at Chen Jinye for a while, and said hesitantly: "Since I have already handed over the affairs of the restaurant to Xiaoqing, otherwise we will also tell her about using it against Zilou, right?" ”。
Seeing that Chen Jinye seemed unmoved, Hongling said again: "When your people settle in the restaurant in the future, someone will always have to take care of them, right?" If she doesn't know anything about this, it will inevitably cause some ridiculous things, and I think Xiaoqing is trustworthy, what do you think? ”。
Chen Jinye slowly sat upright, raised his eyebrows slightly, and evoked a smile of unknown meaning, "Unless... You promised me one condition".
Hongling was immediately stunned, "What conditions?" ”。
"Paint a picture of Danqing for this king"
Hongling blinked, then smiled playfully, "I'll give it to you in a moment."
"This king doesn't want the last one, the picture of the king sleeping is not very good-looking, this king wants you to repaint"
As soon as the words fell, the carriage stopped, and Chen Jinye threw out a sentence: "Since Ling'er has no objection, then the king of tomorrow will go to you", and then stepped out of the carriage with a big stride, leaving no more space for Hongling to refuse.
