The next day is the day of the prince's banquet, the whole Washington is busy, only the north courtyard is light and clean, the spacious and luxurious semi-open main hall, there are two rows of walnut low tables on the left and right, and the Shu embroidery inlaid gold wire futon with needles and stitches is placed for the host to sit down.

Because the person who wants to pick up the dust and wash the wind is the prince, and the general identity is not qualified to accompany him at all, so most of today's guests are in the south and west courtyards with their children, and the idea of wanting to see the appearance of the prince and the princess is shattered.

In the north courtyard, there are Ge Yuanjun and Mrs. Cheng, several local foreign masters in Xiping, plus the two brothers Cheng Yunduo and Cheng Yunduo, and the four children of the long house and Cheng Ming.

The banquet is actually a step-by-step flowing water banquet, not much fun, Jiang Xiaowangye on the left hand side of the prince is holding his chin, bored with wine and writing on the desk.

He listened to the group of people in the hall talking politely to each other, chatted and raised his head, his eyes swept over Cheng Lan and the others, but saw that Cheng Qi's position was empty, so he said, "Why don't you see Cheng Axiu?" ”

That person lied that he was sick and hid in Tinglan Water Pavilion today in order to avoid embarrassment and goofs, which is just like Cheng Yunduo's wish, Cheng Shu is not qualified to go to the table, and don't show her to go, not to mention that every time Cheng Qi does not come forward, everyone is used to it.

Jiang Xiaowang suddenly mentioned it, Cheng Yunduo's mind was still a beat slower, and then he heard Cheng Yan who was not far away and said lightly: "Back to the prince's words, the little sister is unwell and is resting in the room." ”

The prince put down the wine cup and didn't take it to heart: "Every time I come, this Cheng Qi seems to be sick and doesn't see anyone." Raised his eyebrows slightly, "Anyway, now I can be regarded as half a concubine." ”

Mrs. Cheng smiled lightly: "Your Royal Highness is polite, the granddaughter of the old body loves to be restrained, and she still doesn't want her to show her timidity in front of you, what kind of mother, it really hurts our Cheng family." ”

The prince smiled respectfully, and then turned his head to look at Cheng Yan, who was fourteen or fifteen years old, and was more relieved than Cheng Lan, who was nervous on his left hand, and Cheng Dai, who was lonely and cold on his right.

"You are Cheng Lou who succeeded Cheng Yunyang not long ago?" The prince asked.

Cheng Yan was not shocked: "Yes, now I am renamed Cheng Yan, and His Royal Highness Prince Lao bothered to remember it." ”

The prince picked up the wine cup again, nodded and drank it all, but his eyes squinted at Cheng Yunduo, and when he saw that he kept taking care of the child in the long room, the man's face was really a little awkward.

This old Cheng family is really simple and complex, and once every few years, he can find some indescribable cats, such as Cheng Shu, who took the initiative to dedicate himself last night.

I don't know what Cheng Yunduo is thinking about when he faces himself at this time.

It's just that the prince guessed wrong, and the man didn't have much in his heart, just looked at the dazzling variety of dishes on the dining table, glanced at his second brother, and was a little staggered.

All the dishes prepared yesterday have been withdrawn and redone, and they can all be updated overnight, this is not Cheng Yunshan's business level at all, there is no trouble, is this person still his second brother?

Cheng Yunshan happened to look at it, and his eyes couldn't hide his pride, as if he was asking for credit.

Cheng Yunduo turned his head coldly, and said in his heart, you see what I have done, if you force me to do something, you will make a little mess for me, and people who are almost forty will drown in the pit.

…

…

The group in the hall chatted for a while, and the atmosphere finally became a little warmer, but most of them were adults, Cheng Yan leaned back, looked at the empty place next to him, and frowned slightly.

This Cheng Qi hid inexplicably, and the prince didn't eat people.

"Taiheng, let's go to Tinglan Water Pavilion to see her later." Cheng Yandao.

Cheng Dai nodded.

"Your Royal Highness the Prince, the mutton soup has been prepared, you see?"

After a while, Cheng Yunshan smiled flatteringly: "Do you want to go now, or wait?" ”

The prince looked over: "Then let's go now, it's cold and fishy." ”

When Cheng Yunshan heard this, he nodded busily, waved his hand and ordered Tan Bai and Lu Er, and called a group of maidservants who had been prepared in the outer hall to come in and serve freshly boiled mutton soup from table to table.

This Dachang is rich in agricultural and aquatic products, but among the tens of thousands of species, there is only one of the most valuable, and that is sheep.

The reason is taken from the homonym, the current emperor's surname is Yang, so your Excellency opened the first article of the Dachang criminal law, which is that the people are not allowed to slaughter sheep without permission, and violators should not be killed.

Unless it's a banquet that has reached a certain level, you have to be qualified to eat.

Even if it was the prince's banquet, he only slaughtered a suckling sheep, which was brought by Ge Yuanjun from Yuyang Xuan, and he had to keep an account and report the number, and it was a sin to turn around if one was missing.

Because the amount of a suckling sheep is too small, after thinking about it, it is the safest to make meat soup.

When the meat soup was put on the table, Cheng Yan looked at it, and in the shallow bottom bowl of white glazed porcelain, in addition to the fragrant meat soup, it was radish, and there was also the taste of grass and fruit tangerine peel and ginger, but there was no residue.

Cheng Yunshan saw the prince staring at the meat soup, and hurriedly said: "Your Highness, this meat soup is boiled with a martial fire first, skimmed off the foam, then added radish slices, and simmered for an hour. ”

When the prince heard this, he picked up the porcelain spoon, but listened to Vice General Dong on the side and said coldly: "Your Highness, this mutton is not afraid of being hot when eaten alone, but this porridge is sticky and slow, so let's dry it a little." ”

Hearing this, Cheng Ming, who was forcibly arranged for a banquet by Cheng Yunduo, was silently contemptuous, and called Cheng Yan next to him lightly: "It's really expensive, but it's just a bowl of meat soup, squeamish." ”

Cheng Yan was lazy, but there was a sudden extreme heat in his left sleeve, he suddenly glared, and directly shook the thing out, which was the scroll that was transferred from his trouser pocket after a long memory.

Because it was daytime, the golden light was not very obvious, but Cheng Ming looked at it and sighed: "Hey, what kind of good thing is this, so delicate, show it to my buddy." ”

How could it be shown to this man!

Cheng Yan frowned, his eyes were as sharp as a blade, and Cheng Ming, who was looking at it, hurriedly took his hand away.

"If you don't show it, you won't show it, what do you do staring at Lao Tzu, who is rare about your thing." Cheng Ming picked up the wine cup and took a sip, "Sure enough, it came from Shanhua Mansion, and the stinky is also a treasure, and I haven't seen the world." ”

Cheng Yan turned a deaf ear and carefully bowed down, because everyone's attention was on the crown prince and Vice General Dong, he took advantage of the situation to slowly open the scroll.

——On the seventh day of July in the second year of Tianxi, the mountains and rivers are full of doubts, and the willows and flowers are bright and another village.

——April 19, the 17th year of Tianxi, he met his old acquaintance in a foreign land.

Sure enough, with the heat and golden light, the third line of the scroll appeared out of thin air.

——August 20, the 17th year of Tianxi, the golden wind did not move the cicada, and the secret plan was impermanent.

This poem Cheng Yan knows is a sentence in the "Seven Words Collection" in the "Collection of Famous Sages", a collection of proverbs about good deeds and good deeds.

It means: when the autumn wind is about to rise, the cicadas have already felt it in advance, and some people have been plotted by others, and they don't know how they died.

After Cheng Yan finished reading, he didn't care about Cheng Ming, who was probing his brain next to him, and only felt a cold glow crawling up his spine like a cold snake.

He swallowed slightly, his fingertips were cold, and he didn't know why such a sentence suddenly appeared on the scroll, and he blinked cautiously, and his movements were nervously slow.

The autumn wind will rise, and Zen will wake up.

People are dying, and they can't be noticed.

Could it be that the scroll is suggesting that someone is dying at this feast today?

Cheng Yan clenched the scroll, subconsciously looked up at the prince who had scooped the meat soup to drink, and had a guess in his heart.

At the same time, as he guessed, the third line of words on the scroll began to flicker and deeper!

Cheng Yan's tearful pupils suddenly shrank into a pinnose!

Really!

This line of words is about the prince!

…… That bowl of meat soup!

said that it was too late, Cheng Yan pulled out the silver hairpin inserted in his silver crown, and threw it out with great force, so fast that Vice General Dong could not react!

The silver hairpin swept in front of everyone's eyes like an out-of-control arrow, with a dazzling tail light, piercing the porcelain spoon that the prince was about to pick up, and penetrating the porcelain bowl in succession.

Cheng Yan's silver crown was removed, and the green silk fell in front of him, and in the next moment, his eyebrows were furrowed, and the angry waves rolled under his eyes, and he said: "The soup is poisonous!" ”
