Chapter 144: The Reception Banquet (4)
When Chu Yunsheng said this, Princess Minyang's face became unnatural, but she had no other choice but to take the concentric knot from Chu Yunsheng's hand, and smiled reluctantly, "What are the words of the county lord, the etiquette is as light as a feather, and the heart is as heavy as Mount Tai." ”
Chu Yunsheng sent the concentric knot out, and when she saw Princess Minyang accept it, the corners of her mouth curled wider, "The princess didn't take the knot just now, and Pingyang thought that the princess disliked the rumors on Pingyang!" ”
"The county lord is too worried." After saying that, Princess Minyang returned to her seat and handed over this concentric knot to the maid beside her.
Chu Yunsheng's seat was next to Princess Minyang, of course she saw Princess Minyang's action, her eyes flashed slightly, and in a blink of an eye, she focused on the table in front of her, reached out and took a piece of horseshoe cake to eat, and listened to the small voices of the nobles in her ears.
About two quarters of an hour later, the Emperor and the Crown Prince came down.
The emperor appeared at the banquet in a bright yellow double dragon robe with pearls, his expression had faded from his original seriousness, and the momentum that came out of his bones was covered up a lot by the sickness, but it was still inviolable, and his walking pace was slightly staggering, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was supporting him.
Half an hour has passed since the banquet began, and many people are speculating in their hearts that maybe His Majesty will not come, and when they saw the emperor appear, everyone put down the emotions in their hearts and bowed down to that side.
The emperor swept around, and with the support of the crown prince, he walked towards the empty position in the first place.
The crown prince was dressed in a purple and gold python robe, supported the emperor with his back straight, his eyes swept over these people who were still kneeling, and reminded in a low voice, "Father." ”
The emperor was accustomed to seeing this, so he didn't bother with it, but asked, "The crown prince and his concubine traveled around the states and counties, how was it along the way?" ”
The prince was stunned, his eyelids were slightly bottomed, covering the undercurrent of eye waves, pondering the pun of his father. On the surface, he was asking what he had gained from touring the state and county, but in fact, he was asking how he felt when he took the side concubine to go! Thinking of Concubine Xue, the prince's face softened a little, and the corners of his lips pursed, "Back to my father, along the way, I saw that under the governance of my father, all states and counties were in order, and the people had abundant private pockets and abundant food and clothing. ”
The crown prince avoided talking about the side concubine, and his mouth was full of praise for the emperor's good governance of the country, and the people sang praises.
"The states and counties you have passed through are all rich places, and the people naturally live and work in peace and contentment, Youzhou, Chongshan, and Lingnan are really barren places, and there are often horse thieves haunting." Although he said so, the emperor's face was a little warmer, who didn't want to listen to others sing praises, not to mention that the emperor had been diligent in government over the years, so he naturally hoped to be praised by the people of the world and be remembered by future generations.
But soon, the emperor's expression turned cold, and he asked coldly, "You insisted on taking Concubine Xue this time, will Concubine Xue be helpful to you along the way?" ”
The crown prince knew that the emperor didn't like the side concubine, and he originally wanted to praise his father more, but the father might have diverted the topic when he was happy, but he didn't expect the emperor to insist on going back, "Concubine Xue took care of her sons and ministers all the way, was very close to the people, and won the hearts of the local people." He wanted to use all the best words to describe Concubine Xue, but it was not a good thing to praise Concubine Xue in front of his father, and he stopped at it.
Hearing this, the emperor snorted coldly, "Take care of you, even a palace maid can be very thoughtful; As for being close to the people, what did you do along the way with Concubine Xue, the notes presented by the local government have all been written, why didn't I see that Concubine Xue won the hearts of the people! ”
When the emperor said this, the prince's heart was a little weak, and he couldn't look directly at his father in terms of etiquette, this subtle emotion The emperor naturally didn't notice it, and the prince still fought for Concubine Xue, "The ministers and the concubines have a private visit, how can those officials know." ”
"Only for private visits?" The emperor sneered, and at this moment he had already walked to the first place, pulled his hand from the crown prince, and then sat down at the first place, and said to the group of people who were still saluting, "Get up!" ”
Chu Yunsheng's kneeling feet were a little numb, and her heels were a little unstable when she got up, if it weren't for Cardamom Eye's eyes and hands to support her, she might have fallen down in front of so many people.
This is because of the family banquet, and all the people present are relatives of the emperor, and there are not as many constraints as in the past.
Halfway through the banquet, Chu Yunsheng drank a few glasses of fruit wine, and wanted to go outside on the grounds that he was not strong enough to drink, but was mentioned by the emperor, "A few days ago, the eldest prince of the Marquis Wulie's Mansion resigned to me, if nothing else, he will probably come back at the end of the year, I don't know how Pingyang learned to be in charge during this time?" ”
Chu Yunsheng was unaware of the emperor's sudden question, the wine on her face woke up a lot, and she got up and said to the emperor, "After studying for a while, I can calculate some simple accounts at present." ”
She hates those complicated numbers the most, and she moved them all the way the next day when she saw the ledger, but she still has to learn these things, and she listens to the two maids sent by her brother chanting in her ear every day, and it takes two months to listen to it, and now give her the ledger, she can get started very well.
"I suddenly remembered that the contacts between Yongning Mansion and Wulie Marquis Mansion over the years have not been very frequent, and I hastily let you learn to be in charge, you won't be dissatisfied with me!" The emperor's cloudy gaze looked at Chu Yunsheng's side.
Although the emperor is sick, the emperor for decades is not in vain, and his eyes are full of indescribable coercion, and Chu Yunsheng dare not say that he is not satisfied with the emperor's approach, "Uncle Huang is too worried, everything in Pingyang is in accordance with the opinion of the emperor." ”
The emperor looked at Chu Yunsheng with his eyes, "It's good that Gu Changling has made some achievements in the Xishan camp, if he eats and drinks with those gentlemen in the Xishan camp, I will not let Pingyang marry him." As he spoke, the emperor coughed, and then said, "What is Pingyang's impression of Gu Changling?" ”
"The eldest prince has a valuable character, acts steadily, and is personally taught by the old marquis, which is very good to think about." Husband candidate. The emperor was tempted like this because he had the idea of giving marriage, but despite this, Chu Yunsheng still took into account the word reserved, and only praised a few words without saying too much.
"Listening to Pingyang's evaluation of Gu Changling, I think it's interesting to him." The Emperor said half-truthfully, with a sickly smile on his face.
Chu Yunsheng didn't know how to answer, but just laughed twice.
Speaking of which, it can be regarded as the end of this conversation, and the emperor talked to Concubine Hui and others about the affairs in the harem in a blink of an eye.
Chu Yunsheng was shocked when she ate a banana, and originally wanted to go outside to sober up, but when the emperor asked by name, the wine on her body had already sobered up, and she didn't go out again.
More than half of the banquet, the banquet is staggered, the silk and bamboo are pleasant, when the banquet is opened, everyone sits on the seat, at this time there are already a lot of people walking down the seat, three or three people gather together to laugh and talk and drink.
Chu Yunsheng likes to be alone, and some nobles who he doesn't know well came over, Chu Yunsheng responded politely a few times, and then took the opportunity to leave here.
