Chapter 89: Guarding the Night from Drinking
Recently, the people in the capital have been restless, but not because of anything else, it is precisely because General Pei Yan Pei is going to return to the court.
Winning the battle at the border, the emperor was happy and reduced taxes.
In the palace, the Cheng'en Hall is even more singing and dancing, and its joy is harmonious.
All kinds of officials come and go, and the ladies enjoy the flowers and laugh very well.
The emperor is dressed in bright yellow and sits on the throne, the queen is dressed in a phoenix robe on the side, the candlelight in the hall is reflected, the dancers are in a variety of postures, dancing in the hall, and the people who are beautiful and beautiful people linger.
Seeing that the hour was almost up, the emperor tightened his sword eyebrows, glanced around, tilted his head slightly, and said to Su Ningjie behind him, "Is the prince here?" β
Su Ningjie lowered his head and whispered, "I haven't seen it." β
Hearing this, the emperor's eyes remained unchanged, and he asked again, "What about General Pei and his party?" β
"Not yet." Su Ningjie replied again, and stepped forward to pour wine for the emperor, "The emperor is not in a hurry, there are still some hours, maybe His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and General Pei have met together, so it will be delayed." β
Before the hour came, neither the prince nor the protagonist came, and there was no emperor's approval, although the officials talked and laughed, but the food and wine on the table were not moved.
The emperor's eyebrows jumped, and he commanded, "You go and look for it." β
Su Ningjie retreated in response, called a little eunuch to serve the emperor, and hurriedly walked out of the Cheng'en Hall from the side door, and hurriedly looked for Ye Shen.
Ye Shen, who was being searched, was really as Su Ningjie said, as soon as he entered the palace, he met Pei Yan and others who had returned in military uniforms.
Pei Yan, who returned triumphantly, was inevitably a little arrogant, and he was often compared with the prince on weekdays.
After winning the battle now, he was full of confidence in his heart, and he didn't feel stunned when he looked at Ye Shen, and said with a smile: "Weichen see His Royal Highness the Prince!" I really haven't seen each other in a while, and I miss it so much. β
Pei Yan's armor was shining, his waist was straight, and although he was humble, he didn't see the slightest gesture of saluting.
Seeing this, Ye Shen sneered, completely ignoring it, "General Pei is in such a big battle." β
Looking at the general and the others who were following him, they paused on Chi Yu'er almost imperceptibly, and it was fleeting.
"This palace also wants to congratulate General Pei on his triumphant return." As soon as Ye Shen arched his hand, Song Nian'an, who was dressed in a fancy costume behind him, also gave his hand and said coquettishly, "Congratulations to General Pei on his triumphant return and once again defending his family and country." That's a great achievement. β
The crisp and pleasant voice instantly turned everyone's eyes from Ye Shen and Pei Yan.
I saw Song Nian'an smiling with her eyebrows, her cheeks slightly red, wearing a pleated skirt of jade glass, covered with a cloak of 100 miles of silk, and she looked even more delicate when she was already petite.
The autumn wind was whisking, blowing her hair, Song Nian'an raised her hand lightly, pinned a few strands of broken hair into the back of her ears, helped the clear green oriole on her head to shake it, and gently pulled Ye Shen's wide sleeves, "Your Highness, don't let the general stand outside, the emperor is still waiting." β
Ye Shen suddenly realized, folding a fan and knocking down his head, "Look at the memory of this palace." β
After that, he made a gesture of please, Pei Yan was not polite, and walked in front with great strides, not taking into account Ye Shen's identity as the crown prince.
Song Nianan helped Ye Shen and walked behind together, looking at Pei Yan who was the first to leave, Ye Shen tightened a pair of deep eyes, and the corners of his mouth hooked a curvature, "Concubine Ai has to take a good look." β
Hearing this, Song Nianan was silent, she knew that what Ye Shen said was that Pei Yan would not have a good time in Cheng'en Palace, she just needed to watch a good show.
happened to meet Su Ningjie, who came to look for someone, and saw that Ye Shen and Pei Yan were really together, and wiped the cold sweat off his forehead, "Oops! He exclaimed in surprise and hurried over.
"General Pei, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, I can be regarded as finding you! Hurry, the emperor can wait! β
General Pei laughed and greeted Su Ningjie, "Duke Su is serious, right?" Where would the emperor care so much about rough people like us? β
Knowing that this was to hear some good words, Su Ningjie was also a good person, seeing this scene, he laughed and said, "General Pei, where is this?" The emperor naturally values the general very much! The general defends Dongchen and protects the country, that is my Dongchen's great hero! β
After some flattering words, Pei Yan stroked his beard and replied with satisfaction and modesty, "Oh, Duke Su is serious." β
Chi Yu'er was in her hands, she couldn't help rolling her eyes, silently widened the distance between herself and the two in front of her, and joined Ye Shen and his party.
"I heard you're hurt?" Ye Shen didn't squint, and his tone was rare with a hint of concern.
Chi Yu'er's face froze, she secretly glanced at Song Nian'an, and saw that her expression was as usual, so she put down the stone in her heart and replied, "Thank you, Your Highness, for your concern, it's just a small injury, not enough to worry about." β
"After all, it's a girl's house, and if you're injured, you have to pay attention after all, it just so happens that I have a few bottles of scar removal plaster here, and after the banquet is over, I will send someone to the Dingguo Mansion." Song Nian'an, who thought he would be displeased, took over the conversation with a smile and generosity.
Chi Yu'er was slightly surprised, Song Nian'an in front of her, her demeanor and speech, it is not an exaggeration to compare it to the princess, half unlike the gentleman in her impression.
Is she hiding too deep or how?
Her eyes darkened, and Chi Yu'er saluted, "Thank you for the reward." β
Song Nian'an stopped, swept over the night to Chi Yu'er's side, and when she walked up, the steps on her body shook and jingled, which was very pleasant.
"The eldest lady is serious, what reward is not rewarded, you are our hero, you deserve this."
It is rare, Chi Yu'er's face turned red when Song Nian'an said, and she glanced at Ye Shen, who was still concentrating on walking, and took her little daughter's coquettishness, "What, if you want to talk about heroes, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is a hero!" If you want to conquer the northern country, you are even more invincible! β
As soon as she said that, Chi Yu'er seemed to realize that she was talkative, and her annoyance flashed, and she grabbed Song Nian'an's sleeve, "Don't worry about it, Concubine Niangniang, I didn't mean that." β
thought that Song Nianan would be furious, but Song Nianan just smiled and treated it indifferently, "It's nothing, marry a chicken and a dog with a dog." β
The ridiculous tone made Chi Yu'er's expression relaxed, so she didn't see a moment of strangeness in Song Nian'an's eyes.
"Okay, don't say more." Ye Shen said lightly, raising his eyes, the Cheng'en Hall was already close in front of him.
Even if he was ridiculed as a chicken and a dog, he didn't see that Ye Shen was not happy at all.
Cheng'en Hall was built by the former emperor, and it is the largest palace in the imperial palace, and at a glance, the majestic spirit is unstoppable.
I didn't expect the wisdom of the ancients to be so powerful, Song Nianan was amazed in his heart.
As Ye Shen walked into the main hall, it was even more splendid, and the prosperity of Dongchen could be seen in the people coming and going.
"General Pei has arrivedβHis Royal Highness the Crown Prince has arrivedβ" the eunuch shouted at the top of his voice.
The corners of Su Ningjie's mouth twitched, and he silently glanced at the eunuch outside the door, and he didn't understand the rules, so he actually said that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was behind.
It seems that Sensei wants to mix in the palace.
The eunuch didn't know that he was being targeted by Su Ningjie, a popular man next to the emperor, and he still thought beautifully, General Pei would definitely reward him in a while!
This is indeed the case, Pei Yan felt comfortable when he heard it, and secretly wrote down this sensible eunuch and strode into the Cheng'en Palace.
Everyone's eyes were immediately attracted, and Pei Yan came back.
Pei Yan, whose martial arts can be compared to Prince Yeshen, is back.
Returned triumphantly, with great honor.
The eyes were either envious or jealous, or even admiration, all of which were cast on Pei Yan.
Pei Yan is average, but he can't stand the ruthlessness on his body, which makes people extremely secure, so that many girls' hearts are pinned on Pei Yan.
"Good! Let me take a good look! The emperor smiled and took care of Pei Yan to the upper seat.
Ye Shen, who seemed to be ignored, led Song Nianan quietly to his place and sat down.
The banquet officially began.
Now the atmosphere is really warm, and when the protagonist comes, he can't help but have to toast.
watched people sticking around Pei Yan in groups, talking happily one by one.
Of course, as the crown prince of the dynasty, there are inevitably people around Ye Shen who come to flatter and flatter.
"Brother Huang, I am very happy today, I toast you."
The seventh prince Ye Ze has not been crowned king so far, and he is still a white body, but it can be seen from the remarks in the capital that Ye Ze is not a useless person, and such a person is actually white, which is really incomprehensible.
Ye Shen raised his glass, "Imperial brother, please." β
Ye Ze flicked his sleeves, drank it all, and then left the empty cup to signal Ye Shen that he had not a drop left.
This is the first time Song Nian'an has seen Ye Ze, the legendary Seven Princes, and her first impression is poison.
A pair of hazy eyes seemed to be poisonous snakes, making her feel goosebumps.
Glancing at Ye Ze's expression, Ye Shen said, "Emperor, I can't accompany you, your imperial sister-in-law can look at the palace." β
Hearing this, Song Nianan hurriedly tightened Ye Shen's sleeve and said to Ye Ze worriedly, "This is the Seventh Emperor Brother, right?" Your imperial brother's body is not good, so you should not drink too much. β
The words have already been said here, Ye Ze is still smiling, tilting his head to look at the two of them, but he has no intention of backing down, "The imperial sister-in-law is looking down on the imperial brother?" The royal brother is the crown prince, and this amount of alcohol is still necessary. β
Song Nianan tightened the sleeves in her hand, her clothes were pinched out of the folds, and when she turned her eyes, she saw that she was eating food without caring about herself, and made it clear that she didn't plan to help her, and let her handle this matter by herself.
Unreasonable.
Song Nianan scolded Ye Shen a hundred and eighty times in her heart, her face changed several times, after all, she was miserable, gritted her teeth, a ruthless heart, she smiled, "Your imperial brother really can't thank you for drinking, in this way, this cup of imperial sister-in-law has replaced your imperial brother!" β
Anyway, she didn't procrastinate, she just picked up the wine glass and drank it all, just a small glass, as a lawyer, she didn't pay attention to it, but the original owner's body didn't drink at all.
After this cup, his little face turned red when he choked, and his mouth was full of familiar spicy taste.
It's really good wine.
Ye Shen was a little surprised, turned his eyes to look at Song Nian'an's choked appearance, his eyes softened, and he handed over the handkerchief.
Ye Ze didn't seem to expect that this proton of the northern kingdom would have such guts, and coughed lightly, "The imperial sister-in-law has a good amount of wine." β
