"It's a real name."

The night shrouded the palace, and the emperor's eyes seemed to be still shining, and the shock brought by the arrival of Mrs. Chu Guo in the palace during the day still did not dissipate.

But if you want to say what it looks like, I can't remember it, it's beauty itself.

Presumably everyone in the temple at that time was like that.

But what he admired was not his looks, but another kind of beauty.

The emperor put his hands on his knees, looked distracted for a moment, and then sighed.

"Mrs. Chu Guo, she is really imposing."

From the departure to the journey to the entry into the city, the emperor also heard all kinds of news and rumors about her actions, as if she had seen it in person.

"Such a luxurious carriage, driving wantonly on the road."

"If you want to go, you can stop, you can stop when you want to, you can enjoy the water when you encounter the water, and you can see the mountains and see the mountains."

"The banner is fierce, and the officials and their families will meet you."

"Oh, what else is the rabbit spirit deer demon showing up to bow down to her."

Where is it like him, day and night out to cover up the traces of people and ghosts retreat, Mrs. Chu wrapped her face, but everyone saw her, even the spirits came to see her.

"I left the capital as King Lu back then, and I didn't be so wanton."

Hu Ping sighed on the side: "This style is just in time for His Majesty and the noble concubine to travel." ”

The emperor smiled: "You didn't need so many soldiers and horses to travel back then. ”

At that time, the world was peaceful, and the first emperor had fun with the people many times, and he also took the noble concubine Niangniang to visit the night market......

Both the emperor and the eunuch were caught in the memories of the past, and the more they recalled, the more emotional they became......... They are living in dire straits now, and only Mrs. Chu is living in a beautiful situation.

Hu Ping said: "Ankang Mountain is dead, everything will be fine when Your Majesty returns to Beijing!" ”

That's not necessarily, there are some people here, he won't have a good time returning to Beijing, the emperor sighed: "The thief has been harmed for four years, Daxia has suffered a lot, the people are not happy, and there are many holes, after returning to Beijing, there is a long way to go, first rest and recuperate, and slowly get better." ”

Hu Ping nodded: "Your Majesty has worked hard." ”

The emperor waved his hand: "I don't work hard, it's the people of Li who work hard, and there are civil and military generals like Cui Xiangye and Mrs. Chu Guo......"

He stopped to look at Hu Ping.

"The feast is getting ready, right?"

When Mrs. Chu came to see her, the emperor naturally wanted to pick up the wind and wash the dust for her.

Hu Ping responded: "Everything is ready, Your Majesty rest assured, they are all the best ......"

At this he sighed again.

"Our best thing is that Mrs. Chu will not be able to look down on it, and the slave and maid will go to the street to see it, and those merchants claim that Mrs. Chu loves the most, Your Majesty ......"

He looked at the Emperor and spread his hands.

"We can't afford it."

The emperor is poor, even if there is a full treasury in Songzhou at this time, it can't be used for banquets.

The emperor stood up and said, "It's okay, it's best when the mind arrives, I will go to see the queen mother, please take the concubines to work hard." ”

Since King Lu ascended the throne, he has not been to the harem, and he rarely meets the queen's mother, and he always communicates through the eunuchs and palace maids.

Outside praised His Majesty for his diligence, the world was uneasy, and he had no intention of harem, but for Hu Ping, the eunuchs and palace maids, it was another internal affair that could not be humane to outsiders.........

There is a rift between the emperor and the empress.

Now in order to entertain the lady of Chu, the emperor is going to bow his head to the empress.

Hu Ping's response to His Majesty's grievances was to call someone to carry a lamp and drive the harem.

The lights moved slowly in the courtyard of the house, the dim lights in the backyard turned on, and the non-stop sound of the machine stopped day and night.

………

………

Because of the arrival of Mrs. Chu Guo, many people couldn't sleep tonight.

Mrs. Chu lived in a mansion arranged by the imperial court, and before she moved in, the soldiers and horses officials who arrived first rearranged the place.

Li Minglou didn't sleep either, changed into soft bedclothes, spread his hair, drugged his arms, and wrapped them in wound cloths......

Under the lamp, the jade-like arm was smeared with a layer of black and red medicinal powder, and then wrapped in a white cloth, which looked very weird.

Yuan Ji was full of worries: "Miss, has the wound healed?" ”

He couldn't see anything, and he called the bag to see it, and he couldn't see the bag that could knock the monk's wooden staff away......

"Much better." Li Minglou said, raised his arm and blew lightly, and then smiled at Yuan Ji, "It doesn't hurt." ”

Motoyoshi squeezed out a smile.

Jiang Dian walked in: "Just now the officials sent news that His Majesty is going to hold a dinner for his wife. ”

Yuan Ji frowned: "It's good to have an audience, there's no need for a banquet." ”

After all, this is Songzhou, no matter how strict it is, it can't be foolproof, there are many people, and the emperor's banquet, the young lady can't be masked......

"It's not a feast." Jiang said darkly, "Your Majesty knows that Madame is not in good health, so only His Majesty's Empress, Cui Xiangye, and the princes have a small banquet to attend." ”

In this way, it is equivalent to the emperor's family banquet, which is both important and considerate, and very thoughtful, so it is not easy to excuse it.........

Li Minglou handed the wounded cloth to Yuan Ji: "Don't worry, then go sit down." ”

Yuan Ji took the knot of the wounded cloth skillfully: "The court and Your Majesty's mind are still incomprehensible......"

Li Minglou said: "I've already figured it out, this time I won't go to the banquet, they have to think of other occasions, or let them say their intentions as soon as possible, and we can hurry." ”

The intention of the emperor and the imperial court was to let the lady of Chu not return to the capital, so as not to bully the king.

Li Minglou didn't want to be subject to the imperial court, and he didn't want Wu Ya'er to return to Beijing, Wu Ya'er died in the capital.

Yuan Ji and Jiang nodded darkly, then let's go to the banquet.

"There are Mingyu and Zhongqi staring at the guards." Yuan Ji said, "I'll accompany Miss to the palace." ”

Li Minglou stretched: "Don't worry, there are also our people watching in the palace." ”

………

………

Because of the arrival of Mrs. Chu, Songzhou City became more lively, and the courtyard at the back gate of the palace seemed to have become a busy city early in the morning.

"What is this car?"

"It's wine! Aged old wine! ”

"The new rice has been delivered, where can I put it?"

"Nonsense! Imperial kitchen, of course! ”

"I'm asking where the imperial kitchen ......?"

The eunuchs were also bustling.

"What's this busy with?" Weili stood under the porch with a broom in his hand and asked curiously, "How do you buy so many things?" ”

A eunuch next to him smiled: "Ah Yu, you just stay in the room and can't sweep it out, don't you know that Mrs. Chu Guo is here?" ”

Before he went to Hu Ping to introduce himself, he sprinkled and swept in the library in the palace, so he didn't have any other luxury when he came here, just do old things.

When Hu Ping saw that he had sent so much money, he thought that he was going to camp in front of His Majesty, and he was about to watch out, but he didn't expect that he knew the measure and was very satisfied with letting him go.

Sure enough, he didn't go to the camp in front of the big eunuchs, but only mingled among the lowly servants.

"Mrs. Chu is here, I know." "But it has nothing to do with us." ”

"It's about now." The companion eunuch said, "Your Majesty is going to set up a banquet to entertain Mrs. Chu Guo, you see, buy so much wine and meat." ”

He smacked his lips.

"I've been with Your Majesty for so long, and it's the first time I've seen so much wine and meat."

The emperor of the world is thrifty, and the eunuchs eat and drink simply.

Wei smiled: "That's more about us." ”

He turned around to leave, but his companion eunuch grabbed him: "I said you are occluded, this time we are really related." ”

He looked left and right, beckoning to him.

Wei smiled: "What can't be said!" ”

"Why are you so stupid!" The eunuch grabbed him and whispered in his ear, "I heard the news, Gonggong Hu asked his godson to choose to serve people at this banquet, and that kid arranged a lot of daily things that he didn't have the opportunity to do in front of His Majesty." ”

Wei was surprised: "Isn't there someone on Your Majesty's side?" ”

"There aren't enough people!" The eunuch said, "You haven't seen the pomp and circumstance of Mrs. Chu Guo, there are only a few people around Your Majesty every day!" ”

Is that so? Before he heard a sound, he turned around and walked in......

"Why are you going?" His companion eunuch grabbed him.

He said, "Do things." ”

The companion eunuch stomped his feet: "What else are you doing!" This is an opportunity to show your face in front of Your Majesty! Aren't you rich? That's when the money comes in! ”

He coughed lightly again, hinting and reminding.

"I don't have any money, but I have a good relationship with that kid, I can help you talk about ......"

Wei said happily: "I'll give you money, you can go." ”

The eunuch was overjoyed and grabbed him and refused to let go: "Let's go!" If you don't go, I won't go! ”

Without hesitation: "I am in the palace in front of His Majesty's eyes, which is enough, but I want to see Mrs. Chu ......"

The eunuch knew why he wanted to look at Mrs. Chu Guo, and the people above had told him to stare at this Ah Yu, after all, he was a foreigner, so be vigilant, it was said that he had a grudge against Han Xu, and Han Xu had a lot to do with Mrs. Chu Guo......

That's right, the eunuch grinned and couldn't refuse him anymore, and took out the temptation: "When the time comes, I will let you stay behind Mrs. Chu and wait, and see clearly!" ”

Before he could do so, he dragged him away.

………

………

The bustle of the day continues into the night, and many places in the palace are lit up and figures are moving.

"Is there a late night snack today?"

The patrolling guards walked by, smelling the fragrance and asking the eunuchs who came over with food boxes.

"It's not a late-night snack."

"It's a food tasting."

Food tasting? Zhong Qi walked out of the queue and stretched out his hand and said, "Let me try!" ””

The eunuchs were busy evading, and although they knew that this general was the emperor's new favorite, they also had reasons to refuse...... Who wants to try a few more bites?

"I sent it to the queen to taste."

"I'm going to have a banquet tomorrow night, so I don't dare to delay."

Hearing the queen's mother, Zhongqi withdrew his hand and let the group of eunuchs pass.

There was a leader of the Praetorian Guard in front of him, and Zhong Qi hurriedly walked over with people.

Because of the lack of soldiers and horses, the emperor did not expand the number of Janissaries, and what was left by his side were the old people of the Lu Palace.

"General Xiao Qi." The leader of the Praetorian Guard said, "Tomorrow's banquet will send more people, and everyone will familiarize themselves with the environment first." ”

Zhong Qi smiled and said with a smile, rest assured, and asked in a low voice: "Your Majesty has sent additional manpower?" ”

The leader of the Praetorian Guard smiled and said in a low voice: "Don't worry, it's only yours, Li Dudu is still out tracking the rebels." ”

He reached out and slapped his shoulder.

"This is Your Majesty's trust in you."

Zhong Qi smiled with his eyebrows: "I understand!" "Salute the leader of the Praetorian Guard," and ask my brother to take care of him. ”

The leader of the Praetorian Guard said, "Just listen to my arrangement." ”

Zhong Qi responded, the leader of the Praetorian Guard led people over, Zhong Qi continued to move forward, a eunuch stood on the side of the road in the night to check the lights, Zhong Qi walked to his side and stopped.

He asked in a low voice, "Nothing wrong, right?" ”

Wei hung his head: "No problem." ”

Zhong Qi staggered away, and before he raised his head, his expression was obscure, he cut off the light and disappeared in the darkness.

………

………

When Li Minglou walked into the palace again, there were no civil and military officials, and it was much quieter than the last time, and with the afterglow of the sunset, there was another kind of liveliness.

The eunuchs were in groups, and the palace ladies were in a line, carrying lanterns and flowers to guide the way, and there was faint music in the distance.

The banquet was not placed in the main hall, but in the queen's courtyard.

Cui Zheng stood outside the door, looking at the approaching woman.

"Xiangye." Li Minglou leaned over and saluted.

Cui Zheng returned the salute: "Madam, please." ”

Yuan Ji bowed his head and retreated under the corridor, Li Minglou was not polite, and stepped into the room first, the interior furnishings were simple and spacious.

At this time, three seats were placed on both sides, and above was the position of the emperor and empress, and behind the screen, there were musicians sitting upright, playing soft music.

Cui Zheng sat on the left-hand side of the two-person seat, and Li Minglou sat on the right-hand side of the one-person seat.

"Compared to Madame's life, it's shabby, isn't it?" Cui Zheng sat down and said, "Songzhou Town, in a hurry." ”

Li Minglou did not deny or be ashamed, and said: "Xiangye, rest assured, the palace in the capital has been renovated, and when His Majesty returns to the palace, the grand scene will be restored." ”

Cui Zheng said: "Shengjing is not only food, clothing, housing and transportation, but the people's livelihood, why did you let Wu Zheng and the others supervise the repair?" ”

Li Minglou said calmly: "That's because they can't do anything else." ”

Cui Zheng frowned: "Wu Zheng and the two adults have been officials for many years, how can you judge at a young age?" ”

Li Minglou looked at him: "Xiangye, Lord Wu Zheng has been an official in a peaceful and prosperous era for many years, this troubled era is different, although I am young, I have done well in the past few years, otherwise I would not be in charge of Mrs. Feng Chu." ”

Sure enough, Cui Zheng raised his eyebrows: "Let me ask you, what's going on with the Emperor's Seal?" ”

Li Minglou looked at him and smiled: "Who gave me the emperor's seal, Xiangye knows it very well, right?" ”

I even confessed it! Cui Zheng stood up: "Then you still dare to talk nonsense?" ”

"I don't." Li Minglou said, "King Zhao said this to me. ”

Cui Zheng stepped over his seat: "You are talking nonsense!" How could King Zhao say that! ”

Li Minglou sat still: "Xiangye doesn't believe it, go ask King Zhao." ”

Cui Zheng shouted angrily: "You! ”

Behind the screen, the eunuch shouted, "Your Majesty has arrived!" ”
