Chapter 44: Attending the Night Banquet

The moonlight was like water, and Luo Qianqian used Long Yunche's internal force to clearly see the appearance of the entire inner room.

There are not many furnishings in the room, but it is very neat, and you can see that someone has sorted it out. By the moonlight, Luo could clearly see the sleeping face of the girl behind the pale yellow veil.

I have to say that as long as Luo Qingqian doesn't speak, she just closes her eyes and falls asleep quietly, which is as beautiful as a painting. Luo Qianqian stood at the head of the bed and looked at the sleeping girl quietly, and was still very satisfied with Lord Yan Jun's arrangement.

If it weren't for the incompleteness of her soul due to the crossing, this girl wouldn't have become like this. However, Lord Yan Jun said that his life in this life is not blown, it is already like this, and he still has no worries about food and clothing in the ancient official mansion, although the courtyard looks old, but the treatment that should be enjoyed is still not bad. Listening to the dialogue between the Queen Mother and the Emperor during the day, the girl's mother and the Queen Mother still have a deep friendship, so that they can be blessed by the Queen Mother.

It seems that fate is destined to have noble people to help, and if he returns, it shouldn't be too bad.

Qing Ling said at this time: "Shallow, hurry up, I went to the palace today, and my spiritual power is not much." ”

Luo Qianqian nodded, stepped forward and gently lifted the bed curtain, pulled up the girl's left wrist on the bed, and looked at it carefully.

I saw that above the girl's white wrist, a red birthmark was clearly reflected in Luo Qian's eyes in the moonlight, and the birthmark was like the silhouette of a phoenix bird with wings ready to fly, and the color and shape were very beautiful.

"Shallow, how's that? Isn't she? ”

Luo said shallowly: "The birthmark of my last life is behind the shoulder, and I saw it through the mirror, but it is indeed very similar to hers, but the color is different." ”

"You fit her very well, and the breath is very close, plus this birthmark, this girl must be your body." Qing Ling said with some excitement: "You can go mouth-to-mouth with her now, and then I will use spiritual power to send your soul over!" ”

Luo Qianqian made a helpless expression when he heard this: "Do you think I came today to directly enter the body?" ”

Qing Ling was puzzled and said, "If you don't go back, are you here to confirm?" ”

"Of course, you have to confirm it first." Luo Qianqian put the girl's arm back into the quilt and carefully put the bed curtain away. While dealing with the traces that might have been left just now, he said to Qing Ling, "We can't go back to my body right away. Because the problem was not solved last time. First, after I leave, what will Long Yunche do? Even if he doesn't kill me to vent his anger after he wakes up, with his cleverness, do you think he will give up? Second, what about the green dragon jade pendant you live in? Will I go to the palace to ask for it directly after I wake up? Don't look at Long Yunche's kindness to this girl today, that's because he knows that the other party doesn't pose any threat to him. If I meet him again when I'm better, it will be super dangerous. ”

Qing Ling thought for a moment and said, "Well, what you said also makes sense. Looks like I'm going to need to figure out a good idea. But our time is getting tighter and shorter, as long as Long Yunche enters the palace once, his soul power will recover a little faster, and I don't understand what the reason is. ”

Luo Qian smiled bitterly: "I also want to go back immediately, but we can't handle the things in the future, and I won't be able to live in peace after I return to the body." And there's one more thing that makes me a little bit more reassured."

Qing Ling said strangely: "What is it?" ”

Luo Qianqian had already left the Luo family's mansion at this moment, looking for a way to King Jing's mansion. As he walked, he said: "You also know that yesterday Baili Xing mentioned that there were spies in the palace. Long Yunche directly said that it was Mu Lian. Looking at Baili Xing's reaction, what Long Yunche said was not wrong, Mu Lian must be a spy. ”

"What does this have to do with your return to your body?" Qing Ling was puzzled.

Luo Qianqian said helplessly: "Speaking of which, Mu Lian only entered the palace because of me. If something really happened to her because she was a spy, I always felt uneasy. ”

Qing Ling said indifferently: "Long Yunche is such a smart person, and he already knows Mu Lian's identity, he must be on guard, you really don't have to worry about this." ”

"Hopefully I'm overthinking." Luo Qianqian said: "Then you should hurry up and continue to think of a way to solve the two problems I mentioned above, and we will be able to leave Long Yunche." ”

In the next few days, Luo Qianqian really began to teach Long Yunche English with peace of mind. Moreover, Long Yunche made rapid progress and quickly learned some daily conversations. And the Xiyi foreigners who had been saved by him before seemed to think that the prince knew the language of their country very magically, and invited Long Yunche to the banquet many times, but Long Yunche rejected it the first few times. In the end, Luo Qianqian told Long Yunche that he had to communicate more than the Xiyi people to make faster progress. After pondering, Long Yunche finally accepted the invitation of the Baiyi Pavilion.

This time, those Xiyi foreigners were really happy, and the Xiyi women who had been rescued followed the whole process very generously.

As a result, after getting along for two consecutive days, Long Yunche's oral level has indeed improved by leaps and bounds, and the fact that he is obsessed with Xiyi beauties has spread throughout the imperial capital.

At the same time, there was good news in the palace, when the Empress Chaomu gave birth to the eldest prince for the emperor Long Yunqing Ping'an, the emperor Long Yan Dayue, personally gave the name Yongxu, implying that the proud dynasty will always be as bright as the rising sun, and at the same time, the special edict amnesty the world, the whole world celebrates. He also ordered a night banquet to be held in the palace to celebrate, and all the royal relatives and ministers brought gifts to the palace.

The palace was brightly lit this night, and the night banquet hall was full of laughter and laughter, and everyone was full of smiles. After the night banquet began, the emperor first accepted everyone's congratulatory gifts, and then used the night banquet to praise the Mu family. In the end, the dinner was handed over to Long Yunche to host, and he went back to the harem to visit the queen.

After the emperor left, he saw that Long Yunche just waved his hand and said: Everyone is free! Then he motioned to the chamberlain in charge of singing and dancing in the palace to continue the performance, and he sat down to drink and said no more.

The major families and officials were still a little unaccustomed to it at first, but gradually everyone relaxed, and many people looked for this opportunity to communicate and talk with the surrounding big families, and people who were good friends with the Mu family came to the Mu family table to toast, and the auspicious words did not need money to come out, and the night banquet scene gradually became lively.

Although it was already night at this moment, Long Yunche's soul power had become more and more powerful in the past few days, so he still occupied the dominance of his body. Luo Qianqian looked at the table full of delicacies in the palace, and couldn't help but say to Long Yunche: "There are so many delicious foods, you actually only drink!" You're even more excessive, you don't drink much wine, just sit and pretend to be cool! Aren't you hungry? ”

Long Yunche thought for a while and said, "I'm not hungry yet." ”

"When is it, you still say you're not hungry. But why do I feel hungry when I receive your body? The two of us obviously use a pair of bodies, okay! ”

Long Yunche thought about it again and said, "I'm tired of eating!" ”

"......" Luo Qianqian was speechless for a while. Thinking about it, he grew up in the palace, and he must have eaten these delicacies that the people couldn't see, so he said that he was tired of eating, and Luo Qianqian still believed it.

Luo Qianqian muttered: "Alas, it's a pity that I can't exchange with you now, these foods look really delicious, they must be super delicious!" ”

At this moment, Mu Yubin finally sent back to the table an adult who had been talking to him opposite, and was busy with a glass of wine and sat down at Long Yunche's table.

Since everyone knew that Long Yunche, the god of war prince, was cold and didn't like to be disturbed, anyone who approached would be scared away by Long Yunche's cold eyes, so only Long Yunche was quiet in the entire banquet hall.

Mu Yubin shook his head again and again, and couldn't help but complain in a low voice: "God, why are these people circling around our family!" I can't stand it! ”

Long Yunche touched the wine glass in his hand with Mu Yubin, and said indifferently: "The eldest prince of the dynasty is of great significance, I am afraid that your Mu family has become the most favored family in the eyes of everyone, and there may be many people with red eyes tonight." ”。

Mu Yubin smiled slightly: "This is true. Just look at the faces of the Chen family and the Lin family, and they must be on fire in their hearts. ”

Long Yunche's eyes wandered, looking at Chen Shangshu and Lin Shufei's father below. Although the two of them were also pushing cups and changing lamps with the people around them at the moment, their eyes were cold and silent, and there was no trace of a smile.

Thinking about it, Chen Shangshu's daughter Concubine Xian and Concubine Lin Shufei entered the palace almost at the same time as the queen, and now the queen has given birth to the prince safely, but there is still no good news from the two, which makes both families feel that their status is precarious, how can they laugh.

Mu Yubin, who was on the side, suddenly looked at Long Yunche and said with a smile: "I heard that the prince has recently become obsessed with Xiyi beauties, and this time when he entered the palace, I thought that the emperor would also summon Xiyi women into the palace. I thought I could see it, but I didn't expect to see it. ”

It's okay not to mention it, but Long Yunche was depressed as soon as he said it. Emperor Long Yunqing actually thought the same as Mu Yubin at first, and they were very curious about this Xiyi woman. Even take advantage of this night banquet to summon the Naxiyi woman into the palace to have a look. was stopped by Long Yunche, who knew about it.

The emperor originally wanted to hold on, but Long Yunche could only ask with a cold face: "Does the emperor think that his younger brother has stayed in the imperial capital for too long?" ”

Sure enough, as soon as this sentence was said, the emperor resisted his curiosity and did not issue an order to summon the Xiyi people into the palace.

At this moment, Mu Yubin talked about this again, and Long Yunche suddenly glanced at him coldly and said, "It's a lot of things!" Get lost! ”

Mu Yubin was not angry at all because of Long Yunche's attitude, but patted his head and said, "I'm confused." Even if you enter the palace, you go directly to the harem. Haha, I'll definitely ask when I see the queen. ”

Long Yunche sneered and said in a low voice: "Mu Yubin, if you don't speak well, I will inform Lei Teng to take the Shuyang County Lord back!" ”

As soon as he heard this, Mu Yubin hurriedly shook his head and waved his hand and said, "Don't don't, just kidding with the prince!" Don't take it seriously, don't take it seriously! "Just kidding, he finally got rid of that clingy county lord, and only a few days to live!

At this moment, Long Yunche finally felt the familiar feeling of dizziness, and sure enough, as soon as he closed his eyes, Luo Qianqian took over the body.

As soon as Luo Qianqian woke up, he obviously felt hungry, and couldn't help but say with contempt: "You still say you're not hungry when you're hungry like this, what's wrong with this?" ”

Long Yunche didn't get angry, but only replied indifferently: "You eat." ”

Luo Qianqian was slightly stunned when he heard this, and wondered in his heart: Could it be that he didn't eat it himself just to let me taste this palace food? Soon she herself refuted this speculation. She didn't feel that she was so influential.

Maybe this prince is used to being served, and now he wants to try what it feels like to be full without having to eat by himself! Luo Qianqian secretly scolded himself in his heart, but he didn't stop in his hands, and tasted the dishes that looked good one by one, and the taste was really unique.

Mu Yubin drank wine and said in a low voice: "Lord Wang, you know the will that the household department received a few days ago. ”

Luo Qianqian ate and asked in his mind, "What did he say?" ”

"Just nod your head, no more words." Long Yunche said.

"Okay" I'm eating anyway, and there's nothing wrong with not talking. Luo Qianqian picked up a piece of crispy chicken and put it in his mouth, nodding while chewing.

Mu Yubin really didn't notice any difference, and continued to lower his voice and said: "Last year, there was a snow disaster in the south, and the grain production decreased. So far this year, there has not been a single heavy rain in the north, and there is a trend of drought on the horizon. A few days ago, several universities hoped that the Ministry of Household Affairs would make an early prediction in this regard. After several adjustments, my father finally allocated a portion of the budget from the austere treasury in case of emergency. But yesterday the emperor summoned my father to the palace, saying that this year there will be a great court meeting, and there will be a birthday banquet for the queen mother, so he wants to allocate a sum of money from the treasury to build a new palace to entertain the envoys of various countries who came to attend the court meeting. My father knew that this was because this was the first great court meeting held by the emperor after he ascended the throne, and it was understandable that the emperor wanted to rebuild a palace. But as you know, our Proud Dynasty has been at war for the past few years, and it has just eased up, and last year it caught up with a snow disaster. The grain and silver money for disaster relief has just been allocated, and the household department has been tightening the silver taels to ensure basic operation, and if such a large amount of silver taels is allocated, the state treasury reserves will inevitably be stretched thin before this year's tax is paid. My father has already turned his hair gray for this matter, does the prince have a good plan? ”

Luo Qianqian knew that the household of the dynasty was the emperor's money bag, and the treasury would be short of money, but Luo Qianqian didn't believe it at all. However, if it is said that for the sake of long-term planning, the tightening of the treasury is still understandable. Thinking of the treasury, she suddenly remembered the many gold, silver, and jewels she had seized from the bribed official, including the huge coral tree. She asked Long Yunche in her mind, "What happened to the treasures confiscated by your family?" ”

"Fill the treasury." Long Yunche was concise and to the point.

"What about those babies? For example, the coral tree you confiscated last time? ”

Long Yunche was stunned and said, "After it is charged into the treasury, no one will touch it." ”

Feeling a waterfall of sweat, she said, "Do you think you can use these things as money if you sell them?" ”

Long Yunche said coldly: "If there is a matter of the dynasty selling the treasure to replenish the treasury and silver, then it will definitely have a non-negligible impact on the stability of the dynasty. Not feasible! ”

Luo said shallowly: "It's not for you to shout and sell like selling goods, we can find some gimmicks." ”

"What do you mean?" Long Yunche was puzzled.

"For example, just like today, the emperor Longyan Dayue selects a few treasures from the treasury and wants to have fun with the people, but not everyone can get them, so we will determine the whereabouts of this treasure in the form of auction."

"Auction? What do you mean? ”

"Didn't the dynasty auction it?" Luo Qianqian said curiously.

"Tell me about it."

"Actually, it's very simple, the one with the highest price wins." Luo Qianqian briefly explained the modern auction rules, and then said: "In this era, above the imperial dynasty, but a lot of silver capital is still in the hands of the people, or in the hands of a few rich people. A lot of the money in the hands of these people is also spare money, so why don't we set up a good name and let them take out the money willingly, we should be in a hurry. ”

Long Yunche didn't speak, and Luo Qianqian stopped talking after speaking, and continued to concentrate on eating.

Mu Yubin waited for a while after finishing speaking, and saw that Long Yunche didn't hear back for a long time, just eating and drinking, and looked at him with some surprise: "Lord Wang......"

Before he could say anything, he saw Long Yunche wave his hand and said, "This king knows about this matter, and we will talk about it tomorrow." After that, I continued to eat.

Mu Yubin looked at him strangely, and wondered in his heart: Why do you feel that the prince is weird at this time, is today's dish particularly delicious. Can't help but be curious, Mu Yubin returned to his seat and ate as well.

After the night banquet lasted for a while, Long Yunche received the emperor's will and got up to announce the end of the night banquet.

Everyone knelt on the ground, bowed and bowed in the direction of the emperor's bedroom, then got up and said goodbye to Long Yunche, and left the night banquet hall with the people beside him.

After everything was taken care of, the night was late. Under the guidance of Long Yunche, Luo Qianqian came to Linche Hall again.

The palace was still very clean, and after Luo Qianqian came to the dormitory after eating and drinking, he lay on the bed and didn't want to move.

In a daze, a white shadow suddenly ran quickly across the ground. Luo Qianqian was startled and sat up hurriedly. I saw a little white cat with a snow-white body squatting on a blanket in front of the palace, tilting its head and looking at her curiously.

Luo Qianqian, who naturally likes all kinds of things, hurriedly beckoned to the white cat and said softly: "Little kitten, come here!" ”

The kitten didn't look big, and its snow-white hair seemed to shine white in the candlelight, and it was really white and dazzling. There was also a red ribbon tied around his neck, and a jade pendant with no apparent texture hung from the belt.

The kitten looked at Luo Qianqian curiously, but didn't seem to want to come over. Luo Qianqian thought about it, and took out a wrapped silk silk from the placket of his clothes, and there were a few small yellow croakers in it. At the banquet just now, Luo Qianqian felt that this dish was particularly delicious, and out of the modern habit of packing, he couldn't help but take it back and wanted to eat it as a supper, but when he came back, he was too sleepy and almost forgot.

Thinking about it at this time, Luo Qianqian used this to tease the kitten. The kitten was really attracted by the little yellow croaker and walked over slowly.

Just when Luo Qianqian watched the little white cat eat fish with a smile on his face, Qing Ling's voice suddenly sounded, "Qianqian, I have thought of a good way for you to go back to your body!" ”
