Chapter 236: Palace Banquet
It wasn't until the sky gradually darkened that the spring grass found that a few children had not returned, so she frowned, until a eunuch came over and said, "Empress Qiyu, Your Majesty and General Lu Wan are already on their way over, are you ready to start the banquet?" ”
The queen asked, "Are you ready?" ”
The little eunuch bowed his head and replied, "Hui Niangniang, the banquet has been prepared. Fastest update access: щщщ.79XS.сОΜ. ”
The queen said, "Send someone and find all the children." ”
The little eunuch said, "Back to Niangniang, a few little masters have already followed Your Majesty." ”
The queen nodded and said, "You go first." Then he said to the 'Spring' grass Shangguan 'Yu', "Let's go, let's go over." ”
The three of them each held a child in their hands, led by the queen, and went to the prepared banquet hall, the first place to enter the "door", it must be the position of the emperor and queen, the "spring" grass and the official "jade" were greeted by the palace "girl" and sat on the left and right sides of the first place, the queen sat in the first place, and on the front table, all kinds of snacks and fruits have been prepared, and the beautiful packaging of red wine and glass wine glasses, these beautiful glass products, are also imported from the Zenit Kingdom.
A few people sat down, and the emperor came over with people, behind him was Lu Ziqi Wanfeng, and then behind was a group of children, all with their heads down and no sound of pits.
The queen who had sat down and the official 'jade' of the 'spring' grass all stood up and saluted the emperor, and the emperor waved his hand and said, "No need to be polite, let's all take a seat." "Several people can see that the emperor's expression is a little 'gloomy' and his face is a little bad.
'Chun' Cao looked at a few more depressed children, waited for Lu Ziqi to sit next to him, handed Tiantian to Xiao Bao'er, and whispered to Lu Ziqi, "What's the matter?" How did the children come back with you? ”
Lu Ziqi said lightly to the 'spring' grass, "I'll talk about it later." ”
The emperor had stabilized his mood, smiled, and said, "Let's start serving, the children are free to eat, but you are not allowed to drink secretly." ”
A group of children had been playing all afternoon, and they were already hungry, and as soon as they heard the emperor's words, they began to eat the snacks and fruits on the table.
Seeing that the children had begun to eat, the emperor raised his glass and said, "Thank you to the two Aiqing for teaching Hong'er, and thank the two ladies for taking care of Hong'er. ”
As soon as the food was served, the emperor followed Lu Ziqi and Wanfeng and a few people began to push the cup and change the cup to drink, and a few 'female' dependents would occasionally 'interject' to chat a few words, and the children were full, so they began to get together to play again.
Empress 'Chun' Cao and Shangguan 'Yu' also drank a little red wine, and a few men drank the fine wine that the emperor specially found, which was actually white wine.
After a few glasses of wine, they began to chat more and more happily, it seemed that the afternoon conversation was good, the queen saw that they were sitting and couldn't 'plug in', so she simply called 'spring' grass Shangguan 'jade', and a few people went to the side hall to sit down and drink tea and chat.
After eating a meal for more than an hour, several of the younger children had fallen asleep in their mother's arms, and the older children were not 'fine' and sleepy, and Lu Ziqi, who was a little sober, mentioned that he wanted to go back, and then dispersed.
Then Lu Ziqi Wanfeng took his family to follow the little eunuch out of the palace, out of the palace 'gate', and the 'spring' grass asked, "Why are the children with you today?" She kept in mind the expressions of everyone when she first entered the 'door', afraid that the children were in trouble.
Lu Ziqi smiled and nodded, "A group of concubines of the emperor gathered in the royal 'flower' garden to enjoy the 'flowers', and just met Hong'er with a few children to the royal 'flower' garden, and was stopped and had a conflict, it is estimated that those concubines said something unpleasant, and several children were not afraid of the master, and in a fit of anger, they directly threw a group of concubines into the royal ' The fish pond in the flower garden went to the fish pond, the fish pond was not deep, but the concubines scolded angrily, but a group of children were guarding the shore and did not let a group of concubines come up, and then the next person sued the emperor, and we just passed. ”
Wan Feng answered unkindly on the side, "I'm afraid that the emperor will be busy tomorrow, and many of those concubines are the 'daughters' of the ministers in the court." ”
When 'Chun' Cao heard it, he said directly, "He deserves it, who let him marry so many wives." ”
Wan Feng said a few good words for the emperor this time, "He can't help it, the imperial power in his hands was unstable before, so he can only balance the power in the hands of the minister through this method." ”
Shangguan 'Yu' said worriedly, "Then you won't be looking for trouble with the children at that time, right?" ”
Lu Ziqi said, "Don't worry, the emperor will handle it, if the harem can't handle this little thing, he, the emperor, will be in vain." ”
Wan Feng smiled and said to Lu Ziqi, "Do you want to go to the court with me tomorrow?" ”
Lu Ziqi shook his head, "I have no official status, I don't have any court, and I don't have so much bad taste as you." ”
Wan Feng cut a sound, hugged his son and pulled Shangguan 'Yu', parted ways, and returned to his own Wanfu.
At this time, Lu Yong had already driven the carriage to pick them up, and several people got into the carriage, but the four children were obediently doing a good job in the carriage, not daring to speak.
At this time, 'Chun' Cao was still a little worried and asked Lu Ziqi, "Won't there be any trouble, right?" ”
Lu Ziqi shook his head and said, "It's going to be fine, the emperor will take care of it, and it's his son who takes the lead." ”
Chun Cao glared at the children and said, "Don't think you'll be fine, I'll clean you up when I go back." ”
So the next day, several children were locked up at home to copy books, and Lu Ziqi's 'spring' grass took Tian Tian and went out shopping.
The guys in the store don't know the owner of the "spring" grass, and the "spring" grass can only look at it outside, and then buy some "chicken" rice "flowers" and "chicken" wings and fries and the like, taste the taste, and take some back to the children to satisfy their hunger.
After that, I went to Uncle Fang's raisin shop and red winery to take a look, the business was average, it didn't seem to be as hot as the fried 'chicken' shop, I thought about it, it's summer, it is estimated that these two businesses are better in the New Year's holiday, and now it may be the off-season for these two businesses, and the 'spring' grass is no longer entangled.
After that, the three of them took a look and washed it, knowing that it was almost noon, so they took a bunch of things they bought and went back to Lu's house.
Several children were stared at by Lu Yong, afraid that Lu Yong would sue, and they didn't dare to be lazy, and when Lu Ziqi went back, they were still obediently copying books.
Thinking that they had copied the books for the morning, it was estimated that their eyes were tired, so they temporarily let them go and let them come over for snacks, but they were not allowed to go out in the afternoon.
In the afternoon, Wanfeng Shangguan 'Yu' came over with Xiao Yingjun, and 'Chun' Cao curiously came up and asked Wan Feng, "You went to court in the morning, how are you?" ”
Wan Feng glanced at the 'spring' grass, "What's the matter?" ”
"Spring" grass said, "The children beat the emperor's little wife!" ”
Wan Feng pursed his lips and said, "I didn't mention it in the court, it's really boring." ”
'Spring' Cao didn't bother to ask any more, beckoned the two of them to sit by themselves, and went to find a bunch of dried fruit snacks he bought to entertain them.
At this time, Shangguan 'Yu' asked, "Didn't we say that we wanted to go back to Shadow Villa to have a look?" When will I go back? ”
"Ask the nerds." Then he shouted inside, "Nerd, when are you going to turn back to Shadow Heights?" ”
Lu Ziqi, who was doing ideological and political education for a few children inside, heard the shouts of 'spring' grass and said to a few children, "Disperse, there is no next time." ”
Only then did he pull the side and go to the front yard every day, who was ignorant and didn't know what his father was talking about.
When he came out every day and saw Xiao Yingjun, he happily pulled Xiao Yingjun aside to play, and 'Spring' Cao asked again, "When are we going to go back to Shadow Villa to see?" ”
Lu Ziqi said, "Tomorrow, by the way, I will go to the Shadow Villa to stay for a few days." ”
Wan Feng nodded, "Then I'll go back today and prepare." ”
Lu Ziqi said, "Remember to inform the emperor, otherwise he will think that we left Hong'er and ran away." ”
In the afternoon, Wanfeng Shangguan 'Yu' also stayed here, and a few people sat under the big tree in the courtyard to chat in the shade, and after a while, Lu Yong came over and said to Lu Ziqi, "Young master, the news of what the young masters did yesterday spread. ”
Wan Feng frowned and said, "Isn't it okay to go to court in the morning?" ”
Lu Ziqi said, "I'm afraid those concubines didn't have time to complain, the emperor estimated that his harem was cleaned up, and the news in the palace was not so easy to spread, but as soon as this concubine went out of the palace to visit relatives, what happened in the palace couldn't be hidden, and the emperor favored the queen alone, although the concubines were not allowed to go out of the palace without permission, but out of guilt for the concubines, they never turned a blind eye to the concubines when they went out of the palace to visit relatives." ”
'Chun' Cao frowned and said, "Then what should I do, what if those concubines bite and keep making trouble for the children?" ”
Lu Ziqi comforted, "It's okay, the emperor will deal with it, Hong'er takes the lead, those people want to target Hong'er, Hong'er is the only prince of His Majesty today, those who dare to target Hong'er, the emperor is afraid that he will treat them well." ”
Wan Feng frowned when he saw Shangguan's 'jade' and 'spring' grass, and couldn't help but say, "Oh, what are you fooling about, it's a big deal, that is, the emperor drove all those concubines out of the palace, and those ministers didn't dare to do anything to the emperor, and they were still the emperor who had no real power before and left them to handle it." Pack your bags in peace and wait for tomorrow to go to the Shadow Villa. ”
Hearing Wan Feng say this, 'Chun' Cao was no longer worried, put his mind at ease, and took Shangguan 'Yu' to the kitchen to help the eldest grandmother prepare dinner.
In fact, the emperor is indeed not afraid of those concubines complaining, this group of concubines has nothing to do, three days and two heads in the harem out a little moth, often provoke their own irritability, listen to the slaves to report, several adults entangled together into the palace to face the saint, the emperor knew what was the matter, so he said directly, "No." Tell them that my concubines left the palace without permission, and I am angry, and those concubines who leave the palace without permission do not need to go back to the palace wherever they like. ”
