Chapter 454: Hold an evening party

Since the matter has been told to the third prince, the prince must not be afraid of him telling the matter. The crown prince looked at the cold face of the third prince, slowly curled the corners of his lips, he took a step forward and approached the third prince, looked directly into his dark eyes, and said, "If the third brother thinks that this can make you happy, you can say it."

"But after you say it, it's up to those people to believe you or not."

Since the fall of the last prince because of his mistakes, some officials in the court have chosen the third prince. The crown prince's position was precarious on the surface, but the emperor never mentioned the matter of replacing the crown prince.

So some things are not as simple as they seem. Who the heir to the throne in the emperor's heart prefers, no one will know except the emperor himself. So no one knows whether it is the current crown prince who has been sitting firmly on the throne of the crown prince, or the third prince who has been in the limelight recently.

"How?" The prince said again: "You can go back and think about it, I'll wait for your answer." The crown prince stepped back, and was about to leave after speaking, when he heard the third prince shout, "Wait."

The crown prince turned his head with a smile, and the third prince looked at him and said, "Yes, I promise you." A spark suddenly appeared in the air that did not actually exist, and the eyes of the two princes twitched with the same light.

"Okay." The crown prince nodded, approached the third prince again, and said, "Then I'll let people prepare first, and tomorrow you can do what I say." After speaking, he didn't forget to threaten the third prince a few words, "Third brother, since you are on the boat of being a brother, if you change your mind temporarily?"

Before leaving, the prince said, "You know what will happen." He never said a word explicitly, but the third prince understood all his words clearly.

After spending a whole afternoon, the royal hunting ground soon ushered in night. As soon as it was dark, a blazing fire rose in the middle of the flat ground outside the main tent. Because it was blocked by something, the flames could not burn anyone else.

Torches were also placed behind the crimes on both sides to make the entire banquet hall brightly lit. The officials who came this time had already moved in early, and Wen Qiao's position was in the third position on the left-hand side.

The first and second positions on the left hand side are the three princes and the prime minister of the current dynasty Xiang Gexing, and the position of the prince today is to the right of the emperor, directly close to the emperor, which is enough to explain the status of the prince.

Before you know it, it's completely dark. There was a staccato conversation on the field. Zhao Qingyan sat with Wen Qiao, after all, her first identity was Wen Qiao's princess, and the chamberlain who arranged a place for them did not take the initiative to mention letting Zhao Qingyan sit in another position.

The people at the scene had almost arrived, except for Zhao Qingyan, there were only four women on the field. Two of them had husbands who were princes of the dynasty, and the other two husbands were also high-ranking officials.

Looking at it this way, Zhao Qingyan's identity was a little unable to sit still. But she didn't care. Some of the ideas in ancient times were really feudal and backward, although she didn't like it in her heart, but she was not bold enough to think about changing it like what was written in those TV series.

With the voice of the chamberlain Wang Shun, "Your Majesty has arrived!" The originally noisy sound in the arena fell silent for a moment. Zhao Qingyan looked up in the direction of the inner servant, and saw a young woman walking slowly beside the emperor in bright yellow clothes.

Today, it has been rumored in the royal hunting ground that the concubine who accompanied the emperor this time is Concubine Liu Hui, who is now receiving grace. Concubine Liu Hui is about twenty years old, and Zhao Qingyan thinks she is still very young, but in fact, in the harem, her age is already old.

After all, there are young girls of sixteen or seventeen years old in the palace every year, and people like Concubine Liu Hui are naturally not young. Concubine Liu Hui is gentle-looking. There is a little plum blossom in the center of the eyebrows, and the lips are smeared with pale red lipstick, and they are all beautiful into a painting.

Zhao Qingyan was a little stunned, and was pulled by Wen Qiao next to him, so he hurriedly knelt down with the others and saluted. Concubine Liu Hui is still so young, and it is really not a good match to stand with the emperor who is already over half a hundred years old.

"Zhongqing is flat." The Emperor's pomp and circumstance in the evening was much larger than it was in the daytime today. After the officials had saluted, the emperor seated everyone. Immediately after that, seven or eight young dancers entered the vacated venue.

They only wore thin green shirts, but they were not transparent, and they could just cover the important parts. There was a burst of music, and the dancers made their moves and began to dance to the music.

After an opening dance, the emperor said: "This time I just solved a big thing, you Aiqing will be casual." The emperor was obviously in a good mood tonight, so he took a sip of wine from Concubine Liu Hui's hand and began to look for something below.

In the end, his gaze fell on Zhao Qingyan without warning, Zhao Qingyan noticed the emperor's gaze, and her heart chuckled, before she could react, the emperor had already shouted: "Zhao Qingyan."

Caught off guard by the emperor, Zhao Qingyan had no choice but to stand up from her seat, she bowed her head to the emperor, and said, "The concubine is here." Before she came, she was specially told the etiquette when she met the emperor.

As the only marquis of the opposite sex, the women of the family should also call themselves concubines when they meet the royal family. The emperor who heard Zhao Qingyan's voice nodded with satisfaction, and then he raised his hand and pointed at Zhao Qingyan to everyone present, and said, "This is the first hero to solve the problem of flooding in Fuzhou this time!"

The consequence of the emperor's words was that everyone present looked at Zhao Qingyan. Zhao Qingyan stood still and tried to keep calm, but just let everyone take a look, it was not a big deal.

There were not many people in the court who knew about Zhao Qingyan's trip to Fuzhou to repair the dam, except for the emperor and Shen Jinyu and Wen Qiao, everyone else only knew about it after Zhao Qingyan was canonized as the county lord.

It's just that everyone has never seen Zhao Qingyan's face, and at this time, the emperor pointed at him and saw the real Zhao Qingyan, and all kinds of eyes fell on Zhao Qingyan's body for a while. This is still the first woman to make meritorious contributions in the dynasty, and at this time, I was even more surprised to see her look beautiful and weak.

Such a woman who looks weak and can't help the wind has solved the problem of flooding that many people can't solve! After letting the other officials see enough of Zhao Qingyan, the emperor made a gesture to Zhao Qingyan with great compassion.

Zhao Qingyan quickly sat down. Wen Qiao knew that she was nervous, so he was very considerate and put a cup of tea in front of her. After that, the emperor took the topic elsewhere, and seeing that no one looked at him anymore, Zhao Qingyan gradually calmed down.

But with this incident, presumably the entire court will know about her Zhao Qingyan.
