Chapter 291: Strange Temptation
"Then you came just right, I and the king of Zhennan just happened to go to Qinghe Palace for a banquet, so you can go with us." Qi Jingheng waved his big hand and made a decision directly for Gao Yan, and then took a step forward, striding towards Qinghe Palace, completely ignoring the two behind him.
And the atmosphere between these two people became a little strange.
Liao Luan didn't know why Gao Yanzhi was inexplicably hostile to him from the beginning, he was not a person who liked to explore the reasons for things, and he was not interested in these inexplicable things.
But a person, every effort is made against him, every time he sees him, he will slant at him, and after a long time, Liao Luan also feels a little confused.
Especially the last time he and Lin Zuiliu went to pick up Qi Jingheng in the Zhuangzi that sealed the cold, Gao Yanzhi, who had been disguised, pretended not to know him and wanted to turn him away.
That incident made Liao Luan realize very deeply that there must be some unknown story between himself and Gao Yanzhi, or there must be some terrible misunderstanding.
Today is like this again, Qi Jingheng walked forward alone, leaving behind two favorite courtiers, Liao Luan was indifferent by nature and didn't pay enough attention to the people around him, so he just walked forward with his hands behind his back with a faint expression.
And beside him, Gao Yanshi turned his head to his side from time to time, looking at him very vigilantly and vigilantly, which only made people feel very inexplicable.
Behind the emperor, it is really not a good choice to cause contradictions now, and although Liao Luan does not like to be looked at, he is originally a powerful person who is famous all over the world, and every time he appears, he will definitely attract everyone's attention.
Now he has long been accustomed to it, so others like to look at it or not, although he wants to ask, he can also ignore this gaze.
The three of them arrived at Qinghe Palace awkwardly.
This kind of gathering, if the emperor goes in with his courtiers, it will be a little embarrassing, after all, the palms and backs of his hands are full of meat, if Qi Jingheng shows too much favor for Liao Luan and Gao Yanzhi, it will make other civil officials and military generals dissatisfied.
So when he walked to the door, Qi Jingheng said to the two people behind him: "You guys go in first, I'll pack up and go in later." ”
They are all smart people, and both of them understand his intentions, so they don't say much, and simply turn around neatly and go directly into the palace.
Inside, the shelves are staggered, the temples are fragrant, the eyes are full of dazzling, and the princes and ministers of the Beihuan Kingdom and the ladies in Beijing sit on the east and west sides, looking extremely extravagant.
Liao Luan didn't have many people come up to talk at the banquet before, and even if there were, most of them were military generals who had been on the battlefield together.
He didn't want to associate with others, and others were very happy to come and get close to him, but his cold face was really famous, and everyone went to touch the nails a few times and then didn't go.
Later, after Lin Zuiliu and Liao Luan got married, Liao Luan's side couldn't conquer it, so many people asked their wives and daughters to get close to the princess of Zhennan.
These men who are officials naturally don't care about the difference between a woman's concubines and the like, but in the capital, who doesn't know that Princess Zhennan is the third girl of the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion, and she is also a concubine who is not in the stream.
With such an identity, even if she is extravagant now, everyone only thinks about her badness, and does not think about her current goodness, but few people will go to catch up and flatter her.
It is said that there are few people, but in fact, it is not nothing, but Liao Luan himself is unwilling to deal with these people, it is not important to think about it, and Lin Zuiliu naturally does not wronged himself.
In addition, every time this kind of banquet, she basically follows Princess Zhaoyuan in one place, Princess Zhaoyuan's reputation for not stingy is close to the reputation of Lin Zuiliu and the girl flying on the branches to become a phoenix, and the two of them compete one by one, naturally no one dares to provoke.
Therefore, Liao Luan is now sitting at the third table below, but no one has come to bother him, only Gao Yanzhi's seemingly nonexistent gaze has become more and more presumptuous because of Qi Jingheng's departure.
Up to now, Liao Luan is a person after all, and he feels a little strange to be stared at all the way for a long time.
He was also pampered by the princess and princess since he was a child, and his temper was not good, but now although he is not angry, he will inevitably feel a little annoyed by being watched.
Liao Luan, who was tired of looking at him, turned his head suddenly, his eyes were directly on Gao Yanzhi, and his eyes were full of the decisive momentum of killing and killing that had been exercised on the battlefield.
Such a momentum is difficult for even outlaws to parry, not to mention a civil official like Gao Yanzhi, who originally made him feel very nervous when he looked at Liao Luan, but now he was even more startled, suddenly retracted his gaze, and swallowed a mouthful of saliva.
"Brother Yan, what's wrong with you, I've been in a daze since I saw you." Beside him, a colleague of the same age was greeting him.
"Nothing." He waved his hand, thinking of Liao Luan's gaze just now, he still felt a little palpitating.
Seeing that Gao Yanzhi no longer looked at himself, Liao Luan was much happier, he retracted his gaze, raised his cup leisurely and took a sip of tea, and then was patted.
Even a person like Liao Luan, who is not good at color, was still a little frightened by such a sudden shot, mainly because the person who came was too energetic, and the cup in his hand was almost slapped to the ground.
After being disturbed one after another, he was still a little angry after all, but before he could speak, he heard a big voice say: "Hey, Liao Yangui, where did you hide our drunken willow?" ”
Hearing this voice, what else did he not know, the person who came was indeed Princess Zhaoyuan.
Princess Zhaoyuan is not a matter of one or two days, even if he is angry, it is useless, and Liao Luan didn't bother to pay attention to these in the first place.
He didn't even look back, lightly put the teacup in his hand on the table, and said, "I'm with the queen mother." ”
The queen hasn't come over at this time, Princess Zhaoyuan is teasing in her heart, and she probably knows that Lin Zuiliu should still be in Kunning Palace at this time.
Since the queen became pregnant, the entire palace has been dominated by her, and Lin Zuiliu is a skilled doctor, probably checking the child in her belly at this time.
Thinking of this, she ignored Liao Luan, let out a long "oh", and turned to leave.
On the other side, Lin Zuiliu comforted the queen for a long time, and when her mood gradually stabilized, she went to Qinghe Palace with her for a banquet.
It was already a little late when they came, and the sound of silk and bamboo fluttering inside could be heard from far away, probably for the queen's sake, the music was soft and pleasant, but it was not like that used at such a banquet.
Everyone was originally puzzled why the queen mother was not at the scene, but as soon as the gate of Qinghe Palace opened, the figures of the two of them appeared at the door, which attracted almost all the attention.
The two of them didn't squint, and when they got to where they should be sitting, Lin Zuiliu sat in his seat, and he heard the sound of squirming behind him.
"I said why didn't I see her just now, it turned out that she was with the queen mother."
"To make a fuss, she will also use these flattery methods."
said that Lin Zuiliu was not good, and they were probably all nobles in the capital, and they didn't have their own social circles, so naturally they didn't have good sisters to play with.
Nowadays, most of these people can't get used to her, or they have a good time with Lin Zuilu, no matter what her identity is, they definitely don't look down on her.
In fact, these little sisters pretend to be high, but they are just jealous in their hearts, but those ladies are all squeezed out of their scalps and want to be close to Lin Zuiliutao.
However, almost as soon as Lin Zuiliu sat down, a girl immediately picked up by her side, it was Princess Zhaoyuan.
Everyone knows that Princess Zhaoyuan is not stingy, and they don't know how this Lin Zuiliu got her liking, but everyone who originally had their own thoughts didn't dare to open their mouths to get close to Lin Zuiliu.
"Why did you come here for so long? Did you go to check my sister-in-law's body? How about the little prince? As soon as she came over, she asked Lin Zuiliu three questions in a row.
Lin Zuiliu couldn't, so she had to hold down her arm and drag the person to sit next to her, and then she spoke: "Sit well, you have too many problems, there are many people at this time, I'll tell you when it's over." ”
In fact, the questions she asked were not difficult to answer, but hearing her say this, Princess Zhaoyuan knew that something was probably wrong.
Therefore, she didn't ask much, and sat obediently beside Lin Zuiliu, quietly watching the song and dance performance in the center of the palace.
The performance is naturally nothing to look at, not to mention that Qi Jingheng has not yet appeared, all the ministers have to do now is to say hello to their colleagues and wait for the emperor to come by the way.
After a long time, Qi Jingheng finally appeared, he was still wearing a bright yellow dragon robe, his face was full of majesty, and he strode to the side of the big-bellied queen mother.
"Ladies and gentlemen." As soon as he spoke, everyone quieted down, "Today is the New Year, in the past two years, the Northern Ring Country has been involved a lot, and now I hope to say goodbye to the old and welcome the new, and the world is peaceful." ”
When the emperor spoke, he was always very inflammatory, and everyone cheered and shouted, but his voice was impassioned, and it took a while to calm down.
"Now God blesses, my dragon heir has never been prosperous, in order to show gratitude for God's gifts, the first month of the dragon raised its head, sacrifice to the sky."
The activity of worshipping the heavens was highly respected in ancient times of feudal superstition, especially when the emperor and queen were represented and the state was the unit to do this again, the effect of motivating people was even more effective.
However, since Qi Jingheng succeeded to the throne, there has not been anything very surprising in the Beihuan Kingdom, coupled with the turmoil in the country, internal and external injustice, and there is little time to worship the sky.
At that time, other methods were basically used to replace the sacrifice to the sky, and the historians of the Beihuan Kingdom also tried their best to ask for advice, and after being rejected by Qi Jingheng, they also shouted that the Beihuan Country was in danger.
