Empress Renxiao had always been worried about Chu Cheng, and rushed to Fengyang Hall early in the morning.

Chu Xi's wound had been treated and bandaged by the imperial doctor, and she was afraid that the queen would not believe it, so she untied the blood-stained bandage in front of her: "Queen Mother, look at it." ”

Empress Renxiao felt distressed when she looked at it.

But she has been in a high position for many years, and she has been overjoyed and angry, so she only frowned and asked, "Huarong, how could you be so careless?" ”

Chu Ji couldn't help but feel bitter in her heart.

's mother hasn't seen her for so long, and she hasn't called her "Auntie", she is still a cold smile.

She put down her skirt and pulled the corners of her mouth: "People have good and bad luck, who knows what will happen in the next moment?" ”

"What's that look on your face?" Empress Renxiao sighed and shook her head, "As a princess, you must behave dignifiedly, you secretly ran out of the palace for more than half a year, didn't you even forget all the etiquette of the palace?" If this is the case, the queen mother will inevitably find a few strict grandmothers to teach you. ”

Chu Cheng pursed her lips, and said with her eyes down: "The queen mother's teachings, the sons have written them down." ”

She was wounded, her face was pale, and she looked pitiful.

Empress Renxiao rubbed her eyebrows helplessly and explained: "The queen mother knows that you don't like these red tapes, but as a royal heir, you must have the majesty of heaven. Not to mention...... Be dignified, and your father will like it more. ”

"Yes."

Chu Cheng said expressionlessly.

She immediately told Empress Renxiao that she would not go to the banquet tonight, but Empress Renxiao did not answer, saying that she would discuss with Emperor Jianwu.

Chu Cheng was suddenly silent.

In the evening, Bajiao's chariot had stopped outside the Fengyang Palace, saying that she would have to show up no matter what.

Chu Cheng looked at the golden and luxurious steps, and only felt ridiculous.

This is why she is reluctant to return to the palace, and she can't do anything by herself, even if she is the daughter of the emperor and queen, she can't escape all kinds of constraints. even had to restrain himself in carnival, and could only live a serious and rigid life.

"Princess, the wound on your foot ......" Xixing helped her and sat on the chariot.

Chu Cheng waved her hand: "It's okay, and it doesn't hurt much." ”

What hurts more than that, she's already experienced it.

The palace banquet was held in the main hall, which was to congratulate the princess on her initial recovery from a serious illness, and all the ministers in the court and the central government were there. Behind the palace is two side halls, divided into east and west two compartments, the east chamber is for the concubines to rest, the west chamber is to hold various banquets for turnover, in and out are eunuchs and palace maids.

When Chu Cheng arrived outside the main hall, she let Xixing Huanyue help her and sit down on a desk next to Empress Renxiao.

The officials on the left and right are all familiar faces, Chu Cheng glanced at it, and saw Prime Minister Song on the right and Taishi Chen on the left. Next to Taishi Chen sat a young man, dressed in military uniform, with a handsome and resolute face, it was Chen Yu'an.

The official got up to salute Chu Hui, and Chu Cheng raised his hand and said lightly: "You are exempt from courtesy." ”

The officials all learned that Suo Suo sat down, and when Emperor Jianwu raised his glass and said a few words, the palace banquet officially began.

The pipa is full of songs, singing and dancing, silk music is one after another, and it is not lively between the staggered plans.

Chu Ji seemed to be outside of this joy.

An official stood up and said some compliments to her, and she returned the salute several times one by one, but her face was a little cold. Anyone who has the vision to see it doesn't dare to disturb her.

She was injured, so she only put a pot of Longjing tea and light food on the table.

Chu Cheng couldn't eat it, and he was playing with the white jade teacup without a match, singing, dancing and singing, and Emperor Jianwu was bored to watch. When he was quiet, he suddenly heard someone say: "I heard that the princess is seriously ill, and Weichen has been very worried for nearly half a year. Seeing the princess recover today, I was really happy, Yu An was not talented, so he gave His Majesty the princess Niangniang here, dancing the sword to cheer up. ”

"Accurate!"

Emperor Jianwu leaned down on the dragon chair, turned his head and said to Empress Renxiao, "Yu An's swordsmanship is good, even Commander Huo has praised him, you can look carefully, it is definitely interesting to sing and dance just now!" ”

Empress Renxiao smiled softly and nodded, looking intently at the palace.

Qin Gao presented the wooden sword, accompanied by a burst of drums, Chen Yu'an danced with the sword, the movements were smooth, crisp and neat, like a dragon swimming, and the ministers applauded again and again.

The officials who were in Taishi Chen's group had their palms almost swollen; Standing with Prime Minister Song, he turned his head and said that Chen Yu'an's martial arts were reckless.

After Chen Yu'an danced, he knelt down on one knee towards Emperor Jianwu, hugged his fists and said: "Weichen is ugly." ”

"It's not ugly, it's good!" Emperor Jianwu laughed and said to Qin Gao, "Ten gold rewards!" ”

"Thank you, Lord Long."

Chen Yu'an couldn't hide her joy, but when she raised her eyes, she looked at Chu Cheng.

However, Chu Cheng didn't look at him, but was still playing with the white jade teacup, as if anything that happened in this hall had nothing to do with her.

Chen Yu'an's smile froze on his lips.

After receiving the reward, he returned to his original position, but Emperor Jianwu smiled and said, "Master Chen, you have a good son!" ”

Taishi Chen stroked his white beard, stood up and bent over, and said, "The old minister's son is clumsy, but he is just a plain and ordinary man. But Princess Huarong and the Nine Emperor Princes are the real dragons and phoenixes among people, and it is difficult to teach people to look at them! ”

"You don't have to be modest." Emperor Jianwu smiled and waved his hand, "Yu An is a material that can be made, and now looking at the court, there are really few who can compare to him!" ”

At this time, Prime Minister Song Cheng, who had always been unspeakable, spoke.

He is nearly sixty years old, but he has carefully cultivated the white beard on his mouth, and he looks a lot younger, but he looks not easy to get along with.

As soon as Prime Minister Song opened his mouth, his voice was very gentle: "Your Majesty, when it comes to martial arts, I am afraid that only Commander Huo can compete with Chen Ke Province in the court." But that's ......."

Emperor Jianwu was interested, and he turned sideways: "Oh? Are there other young talents in the DPRK? ”

"It's not as good as Chen Ke Province, but it's also a material that can be made." Prime Minister Song smiled slightly, "Your Majesty's newly awarded Dali Temple is Lin Boqin, I don't know if you remember?" ”

Emperor Jianwu was stunned, glanced at Chu Hui, and laughed: "Of course! This person captured Yu Xuanji by himself, he is a character! ”

When Chen Yu'an heard this, his face was slightly gloomy.

What kind of Jiangyang thief Yu Xuanji came out of nowhere, and committed countless big crimes, but it seems that he can't find a trace of a needle in the bottom of the sea. He once sent someone to secretly find him, wanting to take advantage of this to invite credit, but he didn't expect to get nothing, but someone else seized the opportunity.

Emperor Jianwu asked: "What has happened to this Dali Temple?" ”

"Less than a month after he came to Beijing, he decided many cases, retried many unjust cases that were wrongly convicted back then, and cracked all the old and old cases that had backlogged in various places, and there was no mistake or omission. However, I heard that when this person was appointed as the county commander, he solved many big cases, and he was really the reincarnation of Song Ci Baogong! After Prime Minister Song finished speaking, he asked rhetorically, "Your Majesty, you can know that this case is not what Lin Sizheng is best at." Several of the words that have been passed down by mouth in Beijing are all written by this person, and they are really talented! ”

Prime Minister Song mentioned this, and Emperor Jianwu also remembered it.

Not long ago, I read an article "Xiyue Fu", which borrowed the scenery to lyricalize, felt the past and the present, acupuncture the disadvantages of the times, and sighed about the changes of rise and fall, and the writing was excellent. At that time, I didn't pay attention to the person who made the endowment, but now that I think about it, it is the surname Lin.

Although Emperor Jianwu was estranged from Prime Minister Song Cheng, he was an old minister of the former dynasty, and his ancestors also made many contributions to the Great Yuan Dynasty. The great-ancestor of Prime Minister Song was a confidant of Yuan Taizu, and he was the former Jin Shenzong who strangled him with his own hands, and his contribution was indispensable. Prime Minister Song and King Mu Xian are close, but if he writes, Emperor Jianwu will still selectively adopt it.

He is obviously recommending the Dali Temple today, so he will give a face, so as not to cool the old minister's heart.

"Prime Minister Song, when you say this, I am very curious about this Dali Temple. Tomorrow you bring it to the imperial study, and I will discuss "Xiyue Fu" with him! ”

When Prime Minister Song heard this, he immediately saluted and responded: "Your Majesty, in fact, in addition to "Xiyue Fu", Lin Boqin actually has "Spring Fu" and "North and South Pavilion Collections", ......

Master Chen smiled and interrupted him, "Prime Minister Song, today is to celebrate the princess's recovery from a serious illness, and it's not good to always discuss some inconsequential people!" ”

Emperor Jianwu nodded: "Yes." Speaking of Hua Rong, he is not young, Master Chen, Yu An and Hua Rong will ...... in the future."

"Father."

Chu Hui, who had been holding back her emotions, suddenly raised her head, but her face was pale and she looked extremely uncomfortable.

"Huarong, what's wrong with you?" Emperor Jianwu suddenly got up and said busily, "Pass on the imperial doctor!" ”

Chu Cheng hurriedly said: "Erchen has nothing to do, there is no need to call the imperial doctor." It's just that this hall is very stuffy, and Xu is not very comfortable after taking medicine, so he asked his father and emperor to go to the outside world. ”

Emperor Jianwu listened to her voice and was quite angry, hesitated slightly, and said: "Bring more palace maids and eunuchs, the night wind is cold, don't catch a cold." ”

"Sons can save it."

Chu Cheng got up, saluted the emperor and queen, and then got up to say goodbye, and the officials present were also busy sending them off in unison.
