Chapter 68: The Feast of Merit

The lights are on.

The white flags in the palace have not yet been removed, and it is really inappropriate to hang up all kinds of lanterns.

Sima Zhao and the funeral officials and several important ministers discussed for a long time, and finally set the place for the celebration banquet in Jianzhang Palace.

At the beginning of the construction of Jianzhang Palace, it was actually for the sake of watching the sky and sacrificing it.

However, after repairing, this Jianzhang Palace became the emperor's back garden and a place for the emperor and his concubines to play.

The first emperor intended to restore his original intention, and specially ordered people to build the Jianzhang platform, but before the Taishitai was officially put into operation, the first emperor had an accident and was seriously ill since then.

Therefore, this Jianzhang Palace is idle again.

The left and right Jianzhang Palace is a little far away from Weiyang Palace, which is not a formal palace, and it is not a big deal to hang a few lanterns that emit yellow warm light.

But this banquet singing and dancing can only be done.

The ministers entered the palace one by one, and then the Huangmen Order was responsible for the affairs of the sedan chair and the horses, and sent the ministers to the gate of the Jianzhang Palace according to the specifications.

The palace was suddenly full of traffic.

Although the officials and ministers were still wearing mourning clothes, the expressions on their faces were much more relaxed and joyful.

This banquet, after all, is a good environment for people to relax.

They got together in twos and threes, chatting about the world, but they never mentioned the situation between the DPRK and China-

After all, the situation between the DPRK and China has changed so rapidly these days, and they have already understood the true meaning of protecting their lives.

"Look, someone from the Wang family is here."

The crowd didn't know who said it, and everyone looked towards the place.

I saw a car that could accommodate seven people to sit down slowly, and the colorful reliefs on the wheels on both sides were shining under the reflection of the palace lights hanging on both sides of the car, and the luxury was compelling.

Wang Mengduan sat in the center of the car, unmoving.

Although he was a little younger than all the courtiers present, he was not timid at all. The momentum up and down the body has already been practiced to such a score of seven or eight.

"Lord Wang, congratulations!"

Before arriving at the door, the congratulations had already sounded.

The fact that Mingwei Zhonglang will play a role in this counterinsurgency has been well known to the ministers.

At this time, whether you are familiar with the Wang family or not, you must give the Wang family a few thin noodles.

Those who have good deeds have already taken advantage of the trend and want to pick up the thighs of the Wang family.

"The fact that my brother can have such a career is inseparable from the careful care of everyone. Changqing is here to thank you for your brother first. ”

Wang Meng slowly got down from the car and slowly saluted the ministers in front of him, and there was no hint of bullying in his tone, but he was courteous and humble.

"Where, where, Lord Wang is so modest." The ministers also hurriedly returned the salute, no matter what they thought in their hearts, this work could not be left behind.

Otherwise, with so many people present, there might be some unpleasant gossip.

"Big brother!"

Wang Lang followed Wang Meng closely, and saw Wang Meng's car from a distance, so he trotted two steps excitedly and ran in front of Wang Meng. If you look closely, you can even see the tiny light in his eyes.

When he saw these ministers gathered at the door, they didn't salute as properly as Wang Meng, but simply hugged their fists, which meant that they had greeted all the adults.

The ministers didn't care, after all, they had worked together for so many years, and they knew each other's personalities and temperaments.

As a military attachΓ©, being able to greet them like this is already considered a kind attitude.

When Wang Meng saw Wang Lang, his face softened a lot, and he asked his younger brother, "Why did you come here alone?" Wasn't it with General Wei and General Zhaowu? ”

Wang Lang scratched his head and said with a big grin: "General Wei said that he was already an old man, and he didn't have the energy to mess around with us stinky boys anymore, so he sent us to let us do whatever we wanted."

As for General Zhaowu......"

Wang Lang didn't know what he thought, he suddenly smiled evilly, looked at the ministers, and then quickly said in Wang Meng's ear,

"Of course he wants to take this opportunity to meet his sweetheart!"

When Wang Meng heard this, he first frowned slightly, and then as if he thought of something, he suddenly looked up at Wang Lang.

Wang Lang was suddenly alert and hurriedly stopped Wang Meng,

"Big brother, don't! I know what you're going to say, I'm still young, and it's not my turn yet! ”

Wang Meng sighed helplessly, shook his head, looked at the officials and ministers around him who seemed to be pricking up their ears and listening to the play silently, and said to them: "My brother is this character, and everyone laughed. ”

"No, no......" The ministers were caught, a little embarrassed in their hearts, and denied it again and again, "Hey, this time should be about the same, let's go in." ”

"Yes, yes, go in!" Everyone responded, "Lord Wang, Lord Wang, please first." ”

Wang Meng did not shirk after hearing this, but was the first to step into this door.

Wang Lang also followed behind Wang Meng and walked in step by step.

The ministers outside, you look at me, I look at you, they all laughed, humbled to each other, and walked in together.

Although Jianzhang Palace is not as big as Weiyang Palace, and it is not even as big as Princess Anning's Changle Palace, it is worthy of being a place of fun for the emperor's concubine.

The scenery in this palace can be described as exquisite: the rockery and the cloister are intertwined and take care of each other; Flowing water is accompanied by falling flowers, flowing along the cracks of the rockery, and the sound of water is murmuring; All kinds of flowers are blooming brightly, and they don't feel out of place at all.

There was already a sound of frolic in the palace, and I don't know whose female relatives bumped into someone and lost their hearts.

The atmosphere was very harmonious for a while.

The ministers had all found their seats and sat down, but they still kept talking. The words are full of surprise and admiration for Jianzhang Palace.

When everyone was almost there, there was a message from the Yellow Gate outside:

"His Majesty the Emperor has arrived!"

All the ministers knelt down in place to welcome Sima Zhao's arrival.

Sima Zhao looked at the ministers with a smile, said to them to be flat, and then let everyone not be restrained and have fun.

just glanced at it, but didn't find the figures of Princess An Ning and King Han, and couldn't help asking, "Where are Princess An Ning and King Han now?" ”

The little yellow door on the side was about to answer, when he heard a report from the yellow door outside:

"Her Royal Highness Princess An Ning has arrived."

Princess An Ning wore a black palace dress, with golden phoenixes and auspicious clouds outlined with gold threads, which complemented the golden crown on her head.

She was followed by Ah Pu, and the whole person was like Nana, seemingly delicate and weak, but every step was extremely firm.

"Your Majesty misses this palace? Isn't this the main palace coming! ”
