Chapter 14: The Banquet (Part I)
Jing Chen hated this feeling very much, all the eyes and topics revolved around him, and he attracted all the attention, as if he had been dissected.
Fortunately, at this time, the concubines came, and everyone looked out of the door.
"Emperor Xiao Guifei has arrived."
"Concubine Jing has arrived."
"Concubine Xian has arrived."
"Concubine Li has arrived."
"Concubine Zhen has arrived."
……
The concubines, the fourth concubines and the favored concubines have all arrived in the palace, and the princes at this time are also looking at their mothers one by one, and the time has come to fight wits and courage.
Emperor Xiao Guifei sat down in her seat, first glanced at her parents, and then looked at her son Prince Yong and said, "Tai'er, if you have time, come to accompany your mother and concubine more." ”
"It's the sons who are not filial, and the sons are ashamed!"
Prince Yong also wants to enter the palace more often to accompany his mother, so that the son is also well-informed, but his father does not allow it at all, since he was named Prince Yong, the number of times he enters the palace is also very small, and it is even more difficult for the mother and son to see each other!
The prime minister didn't raise his eyelids on the side, but the lady next to him had some indignation on her face.
"Today is a banquet for Chen'er, don't talk about these unhappy, what are you talking about just now, you might as well tell the palace."
Prince Yong has always felt that the third prince and the fourth prince are his biggest enemies, and the nine princes who have just returned have no power except for the old general of the palace who has been recuperating at home for many years, not to mention that the back waves of the Yangtze River push the front waves, and the old palace general is already a figure of that era.
The most important reason may be that he loves Lao Thirteen, and even Lao Jiu is also spoiled.
So he just smiled, but the third prince smiled and spoke.
"Everyone is talking about Lao Jiu, he is very handsome, and he is inferior to the people present."
Concubine Zhen's face was heavy, and the appearance of her son would be talked about, but this blatant talk about the beauty of an Oiran was really excessive!
A concubine who is now favored recently got close to Concubine Zhen, so she said: "The concubine feels that the appearance of the Nine Emperor Princes really inherits the advantages of Concubine Zhen and the emperor, and the first beautiful man in this Jingguo is none other than the Nine Emperor Princes." ”
Concubine Zhen felt better when she heard this.
Everyone didn't dare to look directly at the Nine Emperor Princes anymore, and sometimes they would be shy for a long time just by sneaking a glance.
Those who are bold also understand the meaning of the words, and beat the drum in their hearts.
The five princes and the six princes didn't mean anything else, and they also echoed one after another, after all, when there was no ninth brother, they were the best-looking, and now someone finally took it.
At this time, Emperor Xiao Guifei just watched a few dogs fighting, just watching a scene.
After all, this man is too beautiful, and it is not a good thing, but suddenly his son jumped out.
"The ninth brother is naturally the 'first beautiful man' in my Jingguo." ”
After speaking, he glanced at Jingyang, Jingyang understood, and said: "Brother Jiu is the first beautiful man in my Jingguo!" ”
Seeing that everyone was so excited, the fourth prince also echoed, yes! Why is this younger brother so good-looking, and the kind of temperament on his body is not found in all princes, which is really attractive.
Thinking so in his heart, the eyes that couldn't help but drifted to Jing Chen's body.
Jing Chen listened to their words, and keenly he also noticed the gaze of others falling on him, thinking in his heart, he can still push it on this occasion in the future!
Emperor Xiao glanced at Prince Yong beside her son intentionally or unintentionally, and Princess Yong smiled very decently and said, "Lord, the banquet will start soon, let's sit down!" ”
Prince Yong didn't feel anything at all, seeing his beloved wife like this, he held her hand, sat down, and didn't wait for the imperial concubine to say anything, he heard a voice like a duck: "The emperor, the queen mother, the queen mother has arrived!" ”
A group of people knelt on the ground and shouted: "Long live the emperor, long live, long live!" The Queen Mother, the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother, Chitose Chitose, Chitose! ”
"Zhong Aiqing is flat, since it is to celebrate Lao Jiu's safe return, everyone doesn't have to be restrained, just eat and drink."
The emperor spoke, and everyone got up and sat in their seats, but they said that they were not restrained, this is in the palace, how can they have such courage to let go of eating, drinking and having fun?
The Queen Mother was also smiling, glanced at Lao Jiu and said: "Lao Jiu, today is a banquet for you, how can the protagonist have a cold face and smile at the imperial grandmother." ”
The whole atmosphere stiffened in an instant, this queen mother actually made the Nine Emperor Princes laugh, and those who have seen the Nine Emperor Princes should know that he is not smiling, and in most cases he has a straight face, and now in front of so many people...... Want to laugh at one?
The emperor didn't expect his mother to make such a request, but he thought that Lao Jiu was still very close to the queen mother, so he looked at him with some anticipation, what expression would he have!
Xuanyuan Yinge was actually quite curious about the Nine Emperor Princes, he wasn't quite cheerful last time in her house, how could he be so expressionless when he arrived at the palace as if someone owed him millions of taels of silver.
"Imperial grandmother, you are really, grandson don't laugh here anymore, like a monkey......"
With a reluctant face, everyone exclaimed in their hearts again!
The appearance of the Nine Emperor Princes is really a celestial posture, and the ladies looked at the daughters next to them for fear of being lost by him, this is the Nine Emperor Princes~
"It's the Imperial Grandmother's, isn't it! How can we be monkeys? Haha......"
The Queen Mother smiled very smoothly, and received another wave of sycophants, and all the concubines praised the Nine Emperor Princes one after another, and said anything good.
The Nine Emperors didn't have any expression, as if they hadn't heard it.
During the banquet, Xuanyuan Yingge just looked at the dance, the dancing girl who led the dance was extremely beautiful, everyone's eyes were focused on her, and the soft figure made the ministers coveted it very much, and the eyes of the eldest prince were glued to her.
The imperial concubine looked at her son, and hated that iron could not become steel, but the emperor was very satisfied when he looked at his son, everyone should like beauties, not to mention that he was not a candidate for the crown prince.
After retreating, everyone is still unsatisfied!
Xuanyuan Yingge is trapped in memories......
Back then, it was because the fourth prince took a look at the beautiful dancing girl, in order to please him, she gave up learning martial arts and changed to learn dance, but she was too old to learn dance, so she didn't have high attainments, she thought she would never be so stupid in this life.
Thinking of getting up early in the past two days to lay a foundation, it should be no problem to protect yourself at that time, even if it is a three-legged cat, it must be rare among the ladies in the capital, even if it is the children of Jiangmen, those ladies rarely know how to learn martial arts.
At this time, she heard the emperor calling her name.
"Who is the daughter of the Marquis of Dingbei?"
He naturally knew that he was still familiar with Concubine Li's sister, but it was a pity that she married the Marquis of Dingbei, who was quite powerful, and if he wanted to support the five princes and the six princes, it was unavoidable, but the two emperors were not enthusiastic about the throne.
As long as the Marquis of Dingbei favors which prince, he doesn't have to fight, and he directly wins the throne!
How did this make the emperor not jealous......
