Chapter Forty-Eight: It Was the Hung Gate
Along with this laughter came two little girls of fourteen or fifteen years old, with good looks and clothes. As soon as Rong Yunxi saw it, he knew that this must be the sixth princess Feng Beining and the seventh princess Feng Beiyi.
Moreover, it is easy to guess which one of them is Feng Bei Ning and which one is Feng Bei Yi.
The sixth princess Feng Beining, is the half-sister of King Chen, and is born by the imperial concubine, so she is naturally born with some resemblance to King Chen, and her appearance is extremely outstanding. So this eye-catching beauty must be the wind condensing. And Feng Beiyi is from the singer Wu Meiren, although I don't know what Wu Meiren's appearance is, but looking at another girl, her appearance can only be called middle and upper, and you can conclude that this person must not be Feng Beining, but Feng Beiyi.
This method of determination is really simple, in fact, it only needs to be judged completely according to King Chen's appearance. King Chen was born so good-looking, his sister must not be bad looking.
Feng Beining ran into the house first, directly ignoring her two elder brothers, and glanced at Rong Yunxi up and down...... Happily saluted: "Ning'er greets Sister-in-law Wang...... Sister-in-law Wang, you are so good-looking! Yesterday, the fourth brother praised his sister-in-law as a celestial, and Ning'er still didn't believe it! When I saw it today, I felt that the fourth brother was not bad at all, and even surpassed it! ”
Rong Yunxi helped her up and said with a smile: "Being praised by a big beauty like my sister, my sister-in-law is happy in her heart!" ”
"Really? That sister-in-law is happy to come out with a flower, let my sister see! Feng Beining smiled.
She was wearing a bright yellow Luo skirt, combing a neat single screw bun, and her gestures were cheerful and lively, which was very pleasing. Those pair of watery and bright apricot eyes, let people know that this is a very smart and clever woman at a glance.
Rong Yunxi looked at it and liked it very much. was thinking about how to tease her with "happy flowers", when I heard Feng Beiyi, who had just come in, say: "As soon as I entered the courtyard, I saw you!" It's noisy, it's annoying! ”
"Third brother, fourth brother, third sister-in-law, Yi'er will ask you for ......," Feng Beiyi said.
"Sister Yi, please get up." Rong Yunxi said with a smile.
"Huh? Who is this beauty? Feng Beiyi got up and her eyes fell on Qin Yingyue.
"Princess, the concubine is a wise beauty in the prince's mansion." Qin Yingyue gave a salute.
Feng Beiyi glanced at Qin Yingyue, then at Rong Yunxi, and said with a smile: "The two sisters-in-law are both beauties. ”
"You still say I'm noisy! As soon as you enter the house, aren't you also very noisy! "Wind North condensation.
"I'm courteous, and I can take care of everything. It's like you, just pull the most beautiful and talk non-stop! ”
Hearing Feng Beiyi say that "the most beautiful", Qin Yingyue's eyes dimmed, but then she smiled again.
King Chen smiled and stopped the two little girls from bickering: "You two, as soon as you appear, you will make a radius of ten miles uneasy." If this noise continues, we don't have to go out and play. ”
"Third brother, don't go! I'm not going to argue with her! Feng Beining hurriedly grabbed King Chen, as if he was afraid that he would raise his feet and leave the next moment.
Feng Beiyi found a chair and sat down, Gu Zi ate the melon seeds in the small plate, and he was not arguing with Feng Bei.
The arrival of these two little princesses made the entire Yilai Hall fall into a cheerful atmosphere. Rong Yunxi likes these two very much and thinks they are innocent. But I also know that this innocence is mostly limited to words and deeds. In royal life, whether it is a prince or a princess, who can not think about it?
Everyone has their own thoughts in their hearts, but they just show different appearances.
"Haha...... The younger brothers and sisters have arrived, but the main palace is late......" The prince's voice came.
And all the people in the house got up and saluted the prince.
"No courtesy. They are all their own family members, and they are not bound by these false etiquette...... Yue'er, have you neglected your younger brothers and sisters in this palace? The crown prince excused himself from the courtesy, and held Qin Yingyue's waist as if no one was around.
It sounds like an inquiry, but it looks more like it's flirting.
"The concubine doesn't dare." Qin Yingyue said softly.
Rong regretted to see that the prince's gaze swept towards King Chen's side, as if he was deliberately watching King Chen's reaction.
"You, you're spoiled by this palace, why don't you dare?" The prince laughed.
As he spoke, he pinched her waist and said, "You are here to accompany the palace, and there are still guests coming, you can help greet some, and the palace can talk freely with the younger brothers and sisters." ”
"Yes." Qin Yingyue responded.
The crown prince sat on the throne, and King Chen and King Jing did not sit at will, but moved their positions. King Chen sat at the first small table on the left, and Rong Yunxi was naturally accompanied by King Chen. King Jing sat at the first small table on the right. The two princesses sat on the left and the right on the second, naturally Fengbei Ning was on the left, and Fengbei Yi was on the right. Song Xu measured the rank and sat on the fourth place on the left.
Rong Yunxi looked at it and knew that there should be two more important people coming.
Qin Yingyue sat diagonally on a low chair that was shorter than the chair the prince was sitting on.
After chatting for a while, the two sons of the Protector's Mansion arrived. One is Zhou Shuo, the son of Zhou Qingshan, the eldest son of the Duke of Huguo, and the other is Zhou Yan, the son of Zhou Qingfeng, the second son of the Duke of Huguo, who is the two cousins of the prince.
These two sons of the Protectorate Mansion are now idle in the court, one is a minister, and the other is a Zuoqing of Dali Temple, both of whom are officials from the fourth rank. However, although the position is idle and the official character is small, the institution where these two people are located is an extremely important place, and it is very suitable for the experience of princes and nobles.
And even if the official qualities of these two people are small, because they are close relatives of the prince and the son of the Protector's Mansion, they are naturally more noble than those high-ranking officials in the court, not to mention compared with Song Xu, the counselor of the Xiaocai Battalion from the fifth grade. But because this Song Xu is the son of Changle Houfu and has a hereditary title, he is naturally more noble than those ordinary officials.
Not long after the two of them sat down, the ministers and other princes also came one after another. The prince's birthday is not a big deal, and the people who were invited to come are only fifteen people in total, and there are no second-class or above officials, most of them are young talents in the court, and the big guys can talk about going together.
The older ones and the officials are larger, and there are only Feng Xiaoyu, the secretary of the Sanpin Military Department, Chen Zhijing, the secretary of the Sanpin Household Department, and Wei Dongqi, the Shangshu of the Sanpin Criminal Department.
Although it seems that there are only these three important officials of the DPRK and China who attended the banquet, these three people alone have accounted for half of the six ministries. It can be seen that the prince's power in the court is still very stable.
Seeing that everyone was coming, but the hour was still early, the prince first ordered the singer and the dancing girl to perform a dance, and served some melons and fruits and snacks and some sake for appetizers.
The big guys were chatting and enjoying the beautiful songs and dances in the prince's mansion, and the atmosphere was very good.
An hour later, and by noon, the dishes were ready one after another, and the prince's birthday banquet officially began.
From the big guy's conversation just now, Rong Yunxi learned that in previous years, on the prince's birthday, the big guy would have to play for a whole day from morning to evening.
"This palace Ai Ji invited a troupe to sing Huai opera for this palace, and let's go to Qinfang Pavilion to watch the play later. I heard that there are a total of three tracks arranged, and the big guys may not be able to bear to watch so much. Those who love to watch dramas and those who don't like to watch dramas, let's go back to the house to gamble on dice, fight crickets, and fight poems and swords...... As in previous years, everyone was more comfortable, and if they were tired, they found their own rooms and went to sleep. In short, this Qinfang Pavilion is now a place for us to play nonsense. ”
After three rounds of drinking, the prince smiled.
Everyone drank some wine, and they often got together to play on weekdays, so there was no restraint at this time. Talking about it. Some people even joked: "I heard that the girls who sing Huai Opera stand out, if the lower officials have a match, can they buy it and go back to the house?" ”
"This palace can't take care of this, and it can't collect your money, it depends on how the sons go to please those young men! If there is a picture, you go and talk to the master of the class, and by the way, talk about a few back to the palace? The prince laughed.
"If there is really a suitable one, we can naturally choose the birthday star first! His Royal Highness the birthday star fell in love with which one, I was embarrassed to come forward to say it, just tell us, we will help His Highness talk! It's just that Madame is here, I'm afraid it's inconvenient for His Highness to say it, right? Otherwise, just look at us! ”
The prince smiled: "This palace is not afraid, the Hui beauty of this palace is extremely virtuous and magnanimous, if this palace really looks at which, maybe you don't need to come forward, Ai Ji will go to help this palace plan...... Isn't it? ”
The prince said, stopped Qin Yingyue in his arms, and pecked her face.
Maybe it's because I drank too much, and my friends are having fun together, and everyone is not too restrained. The prince, who is accustomed to being lustful, is even more impossible to hide anything.
It was King Chen, Xu was the head of the wine, and for a while the joy and anger were a little bit in color, seeing this, Gu Zi poured a sip of wine.
Unfortunately, King Chen's move happened to be seen by the prince. Or, the prince and Qin Yingyue were intimate in public, in order to see King Chen's reaction......
The prince is not stupid, King Jing knows that King Chen likes Qin Yingyue, how can the prince not know? And even if Qin Yingyue didn't know it when she asked for it, she could always see it later.
Rong Yunxi always felt that today's prince deliberately asked Qin Yingyue to accompany him, and his intention was a little unusual.
"Third brother, but because the princess was present, she sighed that she couldn't get that beautiful servant, so she drank herself?" The prince laughed.
Rong Yunxi saw that King Chen was indeed a little drunk, and this drunkness was still different from the previous ones.
In the past, even if King Chen was drunk, before the moment when he fell on the bed and completely relaxed, his speech and demeanor were still very sober, and people couldn't see the slightest drunkenness. But today, when the prince asked him so, King Chen just picked up the wine jug, poured himself another glass of wine, and drank it all in a muffled voice.
