Chapter Fifty-Six: Zaifu's Birthday Banquet

On the evening of the same day, the two reached an agreement, and Hua Yan immediately fulfilled it, sat at the table and ate some with Yun Chi.

After dinner, Yun Chi said to Hua Yan, "The day after tomorrow is Zhao Zaifu's birthday banquet, you can rest well tomorrow." ”

Hua Yan yawned, "As long as your family doesn't come again, I can rest well." ”

Yun Chi smiled, "Don't worry, the emperor's grandmother and father have come, if the rest of the people come, I will tell the housekeeper, tomorrow the East Palace will not entertain guests, just push it back." ”

Hua Yan nodded and waved at him.

Yun Chi stood up, walked slowly to the door, suddenly remembered something, and turned back to her and said, "Because of what you said to the Seventh Princess, An Guogong almost broke Lu Zhiling's leg, this kind of harm to others, you should do less in the future, if you want to harm, I will let you harm as you like." ”

Hua Yan yawned halfway through and rolled her eyes instead, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has a tendency to be masochistic?" So, for more than a year, no matter how much I make trouble to hurt you, do you think I haven't hurt enough? The more you hurt you, the more you like it? That's why I didn't cancel the marriage contract? ”

Yun Chi laughed angrily, "I don't have a tendency to be victimized, I just think that if I identify you, it's you." I'm used to you making trouble and hurting me, so I don't want to change someone else. ”

Hua Yan snorted coldly, glanced at Yun Chi fiercely, and suddenly smiled again, "Lu Shizi is very fond of me, if he could have broken his leg by An Guogong, he would have broken it a long time ago, and he wouldn't be alive now." His Royal Highness the Crown Prince rest assured, the man I fancy is very strong. ”

Yun Chi's eyebrows were covered with a layer of green mist, staring at her smiling face for a moment, and asked lightly, "You said that Lu Zhiling is very much in line with your heart, what about Su Ziqi?" ”

Hua Yan's heart tightened, and she smiled quietly, and said with a smile like a flower, "The cold illness of the son is really terrifying, it is really intimidating, and his body and bones, he may not be able to live for a long time, naturally it is not as good as Lu Zhiling." ”

"Oh? Is it? Yun Chi narrowed his eyes.

Hua Yan bowed his head, "Su Zi is cold and cold-hearted, cold and ruthless, although his drunken red face is indeed delicious, but compared to Lu Zhiling, it is still Lu Zhiling's chic and graceful, humorous and funny, after all, getting along with people is fun, and getting along with wine will become an alcoholic." ”

Yun Chi smiled coldly, "You said it very appropriately, but I'm afraid he's going to disappoint you, Lu Zhiling is not so promising." With that, he turned and walked out of the room.

As he left, the beaded curtain shook and crackled with a pleasant sound.

Hua Yan scolded in her heart.

On the second day, sure enough, according to Yun Chi's instructions, the East Palace closed the door to thank the guests, and Hua Yan comfortably and honestly spent a day in Phoenix West Garden.

Compared to the East Palace, it is quiet, but it is not the case outside.

Because of the marriage signing of Kiyomizu Temple, the trend has not subsided outside, and the people in Beijing are still talking about it. Most people think that it seems that the marriage between the prince and Lin'an Huayan is about to be canceled, since ancient times, not only the royal family will not allow marriage matchmakers who are not compatible, but also ordinary people's families, which is also very taboo.

Therefore, they are all talking and watching at the same time, some people feel sorry for Lin'an, thinking about how lucky she was to be selected as a concubine by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince more than a year ago, but she didn't expect that she was not a blessed person, and this was not a big wedding, so such a thing happened. Some people think that this is simply too good, the prince and Lin'an Huayan ruined the marriage contract, so they must choose the crown princess again, wouldn't their family have a chance?

Today's crown princess will be the mother of a country in the future, and the queen of the world, who is not hot?

Especially before the crown prince was the regent of the country, the emperor threw out a sentence, "If I abdicate, Yun Chi will ascend to the throne, except for him, the emperor of Southern Chu Jiangshan will not be the second choice." ”

Therefore, the crown prince's throne is ironclad.

In the past few years, the emperor has not been in the court for most of the year, and the court affairs have been pushed to the prince to supervise the country with full powers.

There are fifteen princes in the emperor, the eldest prince is five years old, the second prince is three years old, the third prince is two years old, and the crown prince is four. Secondly, the fifth prince, His Royal Highness the Little Prince, is two years old, the Sixth Prince, His Royal Highness the Little Prince is five years old, and the rest of the Seventh, Eight, Ninth and Tenth Princes...... Fifteen princes, each with a difference of one or half a year.

These princes, whether they are older than His Royal Highness the Crown Prince or younger than His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. So far, none of them have held important positions in the DPRK and China, and none of them have been released from Beijing. The older ones hold idle positions and have little power, and the younger ones have no power to study their homework every day.

None of them took it out, or put it together, but they couldn't resist a wave of his sleeves by His Royal Highness the Prince.

Therefore, even if these princes are alive and well now, and none of them are disabled, the future world of Southern Chu is none other than Prince Yunchi. This is also the emperor's love for the crown prince, from the time he was born to the crown prince, deliberately promoted. And the prince lived up to expectations and supported the Southern Chu country.

Therefore, some people have secretly made preparations in private, just waiting for the emperor to cancel the marriage contract, or the queen mother to withdraw the decree, and then His Royal Highness the crown prince personally did the work to stop the marriage, then it will be operated immediately.

But after waiting for a day, I didn't wait for the news of the cancellation of the marriage contract from the palace or the East Palace.

The Queen Mother and the Emperor each went to the East Palace, but after returning to the palace, they didn't say anything.

The next day, it will be Zhao Jaefu's birthday banquet.

At this year's Zhao Zaifu's birthday banquet, because the emperor said that he wanted to go to Zhao Mansion to have fun with his monarchs and ministers, Zhao Zaifu's Mansion got up early.

With the help of Zhao Qingxi, Mrs. Zhao invited the opera troupe and juggling troupe, and arranged and arranged for the decoration of flower appreciation, scenery appreciation, poetry fighting, pot throwing and other venues for visitors to have fun in Zhao's mansion for a day after celebrating their birthdays.

Zhao's post covers almost the entire capital's noble mansions, because Zhao Zaifu treats people kindly, and has been an official for many years, although he has been in Zaifu, he has never been evil to others, so all the mansions that received the post were naturally very face-saving.

However, because Hua Yan entered Beijing, she first made her gambling skills known to the world in Shunfang Casino, and then made the marriage sign of the big murderer, so recently, the words of the government and the opposition have surrounded her, but Zhao Zaifu's upcoming birthday has been drowned.

But even so, everyone still remembers this day, and they all rode horses early and drove to Zhao's mansion.

Everyone in the Zhao Mansion changed into new clothes, and they were full of joy.

Zhao Zaifu wore the birthday star's Fushou robe, full of energy, Mrs. Zhao followed by the auspicious printed robe skirt, with a look of spirit, Zhao Qingxi wore a lotus lotus-colored lotus Luo skirt, dignified and elegant, and did not lose half a point because of the tiredness of the past few days.

Zhao Zaifu only has one only daughter of Zhao Qingxi, there are too many visitors, and there are not enough people in the house, so he selected some brothers, uncles, nephews and his family members from the Zhao clan to help early.

Early in the morning, the housekeeper of the Zhao Mansion stood at the door with someone to pick up the birthday gift.

As soon as the day dawned, the shouts at the door were endless, and the names and gift lists of visitors were endless.

The carriages and horses of each province are like rushing to the market, and when they come out of each mansion, they have to pass through Ronghua Street, which is blocked by water.

Su Ziqi and Lu Zhiling rode back to the city from Tangquan Mountain, and as soon as they entered the city, they saw this grand scene.

The streets are difficult to navigate.

Su Zi saw that all the carriages were pouring into one direction, and sneered, "This Zhao Zaifu's birthday, it's almost time for the emperor's birthday, it's really pompous, and it's very lively." ”

Lu Zhiling nodded, "Yes, presumably the Zhao Mansion is very lively today." The words fell, and asked Su Ziqi, "Are you going?" ”

Su Zi looked across the street, looked in the direction of the East Palace, and said coldly, "I don't have much friendship with the Zhao Mansion. ”

Lu Zhiling thought for a while, "I don't seem to have either, but we all received Zhao Mansion posts." Why not? ”

Su Ziqi retracted his gaze, turned his head to look at him, and raised his eyebrows, "The crown princess should go to Zhao Zaifu's mansion today, if you don't go, won't you let people speculate about her relationship with you?" Aren't you afraid of what she will say to the outside world? ”

Lu Zhiling chuckled in his heart, slapped his head, glared at Su Ziqi, and said angrily, "It's all your fault for this." When the words fell, he said hatefully, "But if I go, can I stop her?" She is the crown princess, and if I had come close to talk to her, wouldn't what she had said earlier be more true? If she doesn't go, I can't stop her from saying anything in front of so many people, and I won't be able to wash it away in this life. You say, what should I do? ”

Su Zi slashed the horse forward, and sneered in a cool voice, "How do I know? ”

Lu Zhiling was anxious, and also urged the horse to step forward, the two horses were side by side, and he grabbed the reins of Su Zi's chopping, "You hurt me so much, you must quickly think of a way for me." My old man will definitely go today, I can't stand him shouting and killing me for this matter in the future, and Yun Chi, he will definitely find me to settle accounts today, and I sneaked into the East Palace that day and this one, and the two accounts may be settled together. ”

Su Zi was disdainful, "Out of breath!" ”

Lu Zhiling said with a very thick face, "I naturally don't have any luck with you, so I dare to draw a sword against my own Lao Tzu when I am in a hurry." After speaking, he forcibly grabbed Su Ziqi, gritted his teeth and said, "You go with me, you must go." If I can't clarify, I definitely won't let you, the initiator, be idle. ”
