Chapter 13: The Emperor's Marriage

After a few songs of Liuqinyan, he slowly retreated. At this time, it was time for lunch, and as usual, the tea guests would group up in groups of three or five, looking for a restaurant to eat for a while. It's just that most of them have been emptied of their pockets today, hum, let's go home and eat the food cooked by the rough woman.

Zhu Yu, who won the first place on the list, received a special reward, and Xiao Er went up to the box and said to him in his ear: "Qinyan girl has prepared a little thin wine, please go to the back hall to sit down, to thank today's son for raising the little ones." ”

Zhu Yu smiled slightly, drank the last sip of tea in the cup, closed the folding fan in his hand and pointed to the door: "Lead the way!" ”

Downstairs, Zhu Wanqing was pressed down, unhappy in her heart, and was about to leave in a huff, the head of the class and the owner of the teahouse hurriedly stepped forward and said with a smile: "Son, please stay, please accept this waist card." ”

Zhu Wanqing took the small wooden plaque handed by the class owner, which was engraved with the carving of daisies.

"With this card, as long as the Qinyan girl is free in the future, she will definitely sing a song to her son." The class owner will not let the master who is so generous return empty-handed, the so-called good radish manages multiple pits, and making full use of resources to make money is the king.

Zhu Wanqing thought to herself that I don't want to be beautiful, I just want to find a painting model, and the daylilies will be cold in the future.

"Got it." Zhu Wanqing threw the sign to Ling'er for safekeeping and walked out.

......

Zhu Yu was led by Xiao Er to the back hall, and at this time, Liu Qinyan had already taken off his veil and was waiting for Zhu Yu to come with wine.

"Childe, please." After Xiao Er invited Zhu Yu into the house, he gently closed the door with interest and didn't bother anymore.

"Childe, please be seated." Liu Qinyan lowered her eyebrows and bowed, and her face was full of fresh and refined beauty, Zhu Yu looked at it and sighed secretly in her heart: This is the goddess of heaven!

The two drank two or three glasses of each other, and Zhu Yu only felt that the wine was slightly bitter.

"Miss Liu, I hear that your accent looks like a Jianghuai person, so you must have just come to the capital, right?" Zhu Yu is also a veteran of the love scene, and when he saw that Liu Qinyan didn't speak for a long time, he took the initiative to ask questions.

Liu Qinyan used to be just an ordinary singer, not a professionally trained celebrity in the Fengyue venue. The first time I saw this meeting, I couldn't help but feel a little nervous.

"Yes, Childe." Liu Qinyan had only two glasses of wine in his stomach, and his face was already flushed.

Zhu Yu seemed to see the youthfulness of this woman, and this smell couldn't be pretended.

"I have a relationship with Miss Liu, from now on, you don't have to sing with this private training workshop, Ben Tai..... I'm going to redeem you. Zhu Yu said that he was going to go to the master to redeem people.

"I can't help my son." Liu Qinyan hurriedly stepped forward to stop him.

"The little girl and the son Pingshui meet, I don't even know the name of the son, how can I accept this great favor." Liu Qinyan blocked in front of Zhu Yu, and his face was almost on someone's chest.

Zhu Yu looked at the beauty in front of him, and suddenly felt top-heavy and his eyes were black, "Why did you get drunk so quickly?" ”

"Childe!" Liu Qinyan grabbed Zhu Yu, who was about to fall over, and helped him to the couch on the side.

Outside the door, Zhu San'er kept sticking to the window paper to listen to the sound inside, and when he heard this, he couldn't help but cover his mouth and smile, "It's done!" ”

......

Three days later, the birthday banquet was held as scheduled.

The emperor was still changing his clothes, and the important ministers of the court were waiting outside the hall to enter the palace to pay respects. The little eunuchs of Shangshan Jian brought plates of dishes into the hall in an orderly manner.

Huang Xie deliberately fell down when he passed by Xu Guangyan with a plate of vegetables, and spilled the vegetable soup on Xu's body.

"Damn the little ones, damn the little ones!" Huang Xie pretended to be panicked, and hurriedly went up to wipe it with his sleeve.

Xu Guangyan was also taken aback, and lowered his body to deal with it.

Seeing this, the ministers of Yao Ge's old party thought that their own people had deliberately arranged Xu Guangyan, and they all laughed kindly, only looking at his jokes about Lord Xu.

"Princess Lingyang has the detailed crimes of the Yao Party for corruption and perverting the law, all on this article, and the adults can take countermeasures at a critical moment." Huang Xie whispered to Xu Guangyan.

Xu Guangyan didn't come back to his senses for a while, he knew that Yao Bingyong was going to be unfavorable to the prince today, but this Princess Lingyang was the niece of the Yao family, how could she report to me?

Xu Guangyan didn't dare to answer the note.

"What's going on!"

The playboy heard a commotion outside the hall and came out to check. When he saw Lord Xu's embarrassed expression, he didn't get angry with Huang Xie, but just said lightly: "You dog slave, you don't have long eyes!" ”

Everyone covered their mouths and laughed, this dude was probably referring to Sang and scolding Huai. In the early years, when Hua Changluo was not a great eunuch with palm prints, he was reprimanded by Xu Guangyan in public for withholding and suppressing the folds, and the two had a lot of friendships.

"Take Lord Xu down to change into court clothes, it's a big day today, don't disturb the interest of the saint." After that, the flowers often fell and reflexively entered the temple.

Huang Xie led Xu Guangyan to change clothes, and along the way, Xu Guangyan asked in a low voice, "Why does the princess help the prince so much?" “

"Today, the elders of Yao Ge will ask the saint to give him a marriage, and recruit Zhang Hanwen, the household servant, as a concubine, and the princess does not want to marry this person, so she asks Lord Xu for help." Huang Xie didn't have time to elaborate, anyway, it's just such a reason, you Lord Xu believe it or not.

Xu Guangyan thought about it, anyway, it's better to have more roads than no way at the moment, regardless of whether it's useful or not.

A quarter of an hour later, the emperor sat on the dragon chair in the main hall of the Qianqing Palace and accepted the visit of hundreds of officials to celebrate.

After the ministers were seated, the emperor raised his glass and drank with everyone, and the hall was in a peaceful and cheerful atmosphere.

After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, this meal is almost eaten. The crown prince Zhu Yu got up with a wine glass and said: "Erchen has been far away in Datong in recent years, and he has never been filial piety by his father's side, sharing his father's worries, and asking his father to forgive him. I wish my father a long life and a long life! ”

"Okay, the prince has this filial piety, and I am very pleased." The emperor was in a very good mood today, although he was already wary in his heart, but he still had to maintain the appearance of father and son on the scene.

"Someone, bring up the birthday gift." With a wave of his hand, the prince saw eight wrestlers carrying a big golden turtle up the hall.

The princes and ministers were all amazed when they saw this.

This golden turtle is more than eight feet long and wide, and it is glittering with gold and luxury. What's even better is that the turtle shell is also inlaid with jade, and the green back and gold body are peerless treasures.

When the emperor saw this, he liked it even more. He couldn't help but think to himself: The prince may just come back to see me in a hurry after hearing that I am critically ill, this child is still fine.

Yao Bingyong gave those ministers a look, which means that you don't stretch your necks as if you haven't seen the world, this is setting up a stage for the prince.

"I took it, Chang Luo, and I turned around and ordered someone to put this turtle in the pool of Aster." The emperor looked overjoyed, and drank two more glasses with joy.

"Your Majesty, the ministers also have congratulatory gifts to present." Yao Bingyong was not to be outdone.

"Oh? What is Yao Aiqing's present? "The emperor is actually looking forward to Yao Bingyong's birthday gift the most, who called him the money printing machine of the Ming Dynasty.

"Back to the emperor, a few months ago, Concubine Shu's hometown Penglai found a master for the emperor, and this master has promised to refine the elixir of immortality for the saint." As soon as Yao Bingyong said this, the emperor jumped up directly from the dragon chair.

"Is what Aiqing said true?"

"The minister doesn't dare to bully the king!" Yao Bingyong thought to himself that if he could cover your prince in the limelight, as for whether he was immortal, could you still come to me to settle accounts when your emperor died?

"Great, where does the master live now?" The Emperor asked eagerly.

"Back to the emperor, although this master promised to make alchemy for the emperor, he was unwilling to leave the island and land, so please ask the emperor to allow him to continue cultivating on that worldly immortal island, so as not to be disturbed by the world." Yao Bingyong has a nose and eyes when he pulls up eggs.

"Yes, pass on my will, seal this person as the protector of the Ming Dynasty, and give him a thousand taels of gold."

"Emperor Xie!" Yao Bingyong secretly glanced at Xu Guangyan with his spare eyes.

Xu Guangyan gritted his teeth with hatred at this time: You old thief won the emperor's favor without spending a dime, and the thousand taels of gold didn't go into your pocket when you turned around, but the prince didn't fight for you.

"Your Majesty, the minister still has one thing to ask for, the student Zhang Hanwen and Princess Lingyang are in love, and they have reached the age of talking about marriage, the minister is willing to ask you to marry the two!" Yao Bingyong said.

"Princess Lingyang? Which Lingyang princess? The emperor couldn't remember for a moment.

"The daughter of the concubine, Wanqing." Yao Bingyong reminded.

"Oh, yes, yes." The emperor was a little embarrassed.

"Are these two here today?" The emperor gave the marriage as an elder, and it was natural for him to meet these two men face to face.
