681.Chapter 681: Night Banquet and Marriage

Pei Yuanhao and Nangong Lizhu were still muttering while holding the second prince, and Chang Qing smiled and said, "Let the concubine also take a look at this child." ”

Pei Yuanhao glanced back at her.

Chang Qing smiled and said: "It's been a few days since the second prince went to Yuhua Palace, and the concubines haven't seen it, but they miss it a little." ”

Pei Yuanhao smiled and nodded, and was about to bring the child over, Nangong Lizhu seemed to be a little hesitant, but seeing that the emperor had already agreed, he couldn't say anything more, so he only glanced down at the second prince, and handed the child over slowly. Chang Qing carefully took the heavy swaddling clothes, just as I was standing behind her, and I also went over to carefully open it to take a look, Pei Nianyun really slept very peacefully inside, her cheeks were slightly red, her small mouth was a little upturned, revealing her little pink tongue, and she looked safe and carefree.

Chang Qing glanced up at me, I lowered my head and smiled, "The second prince is so cute." ”

“……”

She didn't speak, just looked at me and her eyes flickered, I raised my head and said softly, "Can Weichen hug the second prince?" ”

Chang Qing didn't seem to expect me to say this, but she was stunned for a moment, even Nangong Lizhu was stunned, Pei Yuanhao looked back at me and nodded: "Hmm." ”

I bowed my head and thanked him, and took the swaddling clothes from Chang Qing's hands.

This kid really gained weight, much fatter than when I went to Mingzhu to see him before, his fleshy cheeks were shiny and red, and his small chin was two-layered, I didn't have much strength, and it was more difficult to hold him, so I only lowered my head and smiled.

Pei Yuanhao kept looking at me.

I felt his gaze and didn't speak, just lowered my head and gently shook the swaddling clothes to make the child sleep more comfortably.

For a while, Chang Qing, Nangong Lizhu, and all the concubines followed the emperor's gaze, but none of them spoke.

When he had seen enough and turned around, everyone also turned their gazes, but when Nangong Lizhu took his eyes off me, it was as if he had pulled a nail off the board.

On the main hall, there is still a faction of singing and dancing.

Because of the special status of the second prince, his appearance cannot attract the "attention" of others, and the flattery of those ministers cannot be said on him, so everyone respects me, I respect you, obviously they are in the two camps, but they talk very happily, and it looks really interesting.

I saw that Nangong Jinhong and Fu Badai had a drink, and even Liu Qinghan on the side also accompanied him.

It's too far away to hear what they're talking about, of course, there are just some scenes left, Nangong Jinhong also said a few words to Liu Qinghan, his face has not been very good, and even his smile is a little cautious at this time, he bowed his head and thanked him, and was patted on the shoulder by the person next to him.

After Nangong Jinhong left, several other adults toasted with Fu Badai one after another, and they all drank a glass with him.

His career has indeed gone very smoothly.

Entered Beijing as the disciple of the first Confucian in Shu, from the Jixian Palace, the captain of the light car, to the scholar of the scholar, the servant of the Ministry of Rites, and the captain of the light car, such a step-by-step promotion, it can be described as a smooth step, and he does have the capital to be a "Tucheng monk" now.

At this time, it is indeed irrational and undesirable to let him leave and let him give up this qiē.

And by his side, it shouldn't be a woman who drags him down, makes the emperor suspicious of him, and even wants to get rid of him, but a woman who helps him and allows him to go further and climb higher, isn't it?

Thinking of this, I lowered my head lightly and swallowed the hot stuff that was almost out of my eyes.

At this moment, another song ended.

Although those ministers were drinking and laughing, they were all nodding and praising perfunctorily at this time.

It was Pei Yuanhao, after taking a sip of wine, he said slowly: "This pipa song is a little special, although the dance just now is different from before, but it is vigorous, tactful and graceful, but there are some chic." ”

When Nangong Lizhu heard this, the original dullness on his face became brighter, and he said with a smile: "This is the dance that the concubine has been looking for for a long time, what kind of dance does the emperor know?" ”

Pei Yuanhao thought about it, but he didn't come up with it, and was about to ask, when he heard Pei Yuanzhen say: "It's a green waist tune, right?" ”

Everyone turned their heads to look at her.

Not only Pei Yuanhao, but also the civil and military officials present didn't seem to expect that the eldest princess, who had never been too enthusiastic, spoke for the second time today, but she herself didn't seem to care, and only lightly put the wine glass on the table.

Pei Yuanhao looked at her with interest: "The royal sister is very knowledgeable. ”

Pei Yuanzhen smiled faintly and said: "If it weren't for the imperial brother who asked the courtiers to read more books a while ago, the courtiers wouldn't have seen this." ”

"Hmm......" Pei Yuanhao raised his eyebrows: "Who gave you these books?" ”

"It's Scholar Liu."

"Oh? Liu Qing's family? ”

This time, all eyes turned to Qing Han's body.

He also seemed to be a little caught off guard, he didn't expect Pei Yuanzhen to suddenly mention him, raised his head blankly, looked around with wide eyes, and immediately got up: "The lower official is here." ”

Pei Yuanhao stroked the cup on the table with one hand, looked at him, and said with a smile: "These days, you have worked hard." ”

"The emperor is serious, and the lower officials dare not be ashamed."

As soon as his words fell, several ministers next to him also had eyes, and immediately smiled: "Speaking of which, this time to put down the rebellion and capture the thieves, Lord Liu should be the first to take the lead!" ”

"Yes, if it weren't for Lord Liu outwitting the talisman, how could he dispatch soldiers thousands of miles away?"

"Lord Liu is really wise and brave."

……

For a while, those flattering words were directed at him, and he became more and more at a loss, Fu Badai on the side seemed to be not only blind, but also deaf, unable to hear anything, and groped for the wine glass on the table and took a sip.

At this moment, Nangong Jinhong stood up from the banquet and said with a smile: "This palace only heard that Lord Shilang went deep into the tiger's den in the Juma River Valley to capture the thief for the emperor, but I didn't expect Liu Shilang's knowledge to be so profound, but it made us old ministers ashamed." ”

The ministers around him echoed and were ashamed.

I frowned slightly.

If I was not mistaken, when we entered the main hall, Nangong Jinhong's cold gaze was directed at Qing Han, why did he suppress it first and then raise it at this time?

I felt a faint sense of uneasiness in my heart, and that uneasiness seemed to reach the child in my arms, who subconsciously writhed in swaddling clothes.

I patted the swaddling clothes gently, but I didn't coax him, I just raised my head and continued to look at the main hall.

At this time, Nangong Jinhong had already smiled and said, "I don't know how young Liu Shilang is, can he have a marriage match?" ”

Qing Han's face changed suddenly.

My face also changed.

Why did Nangong Jinhong suddenly ask this?

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but turn my head to look at Nangong Lizhu, she seemed to be shocked by the sudden changes in the main hall, her spring willow-like eyebrows frowned slightly, and she looked at her father with a hint of anger.

Nangong Jinhong still had a faint smile on his face, and at this time, the Taishi Chang Yanbai, who was sitting at his upper hand, opened his mouth slowly: "Lord Shangshu is really hardworking, and you are still worried about the marriage of Lord Shilang?" ”

Nangong Jinhong said with a smile: "Wouldn't it be friendly to be a minister in the same hall?" The official saw that Liu Shilang was no longer young, but he was still alone, so he should have some considerations. ”

As he spoke, he turned his head: "Lord Squire, what this official said makes sense?" ”

At this time, Qing Han's original crimson face slowly turned white because of drinking, he stood there, people trembled slightly, and even the smile seemed to be difficult to maintain, so he could only lower his head and say, "Thank you Lord Shangshu for your care." It's just a matter of marriage, and the lower officials haven't considered it yet. ”

"Liu Shilang, don't you hear that unfilial piety is the greatest?"

Qinghan's face turned a little whiter, and he subconsciously looked at Fu Badai.

This old pedant was still drinking, rolled his godless eyes, as if he sighed lightly, what is a drunk to relieve a thousand sorrows, drunk to death is considered a marquis, my teeth are clenched, but there is no way to speak.

At this time, Qinghan raised his hand and said to Pei Yuanhao: "Xiaguan was originally a cloth cloth, and he entered Beijing from Xichuan, but he wanted to assist the emperor in creating a world foundation with his modest strength, and as for the matter of marriage, he had no time to take care of himself." Besides, the world is not peaceful, the four seas are undecided, why do you want to be at home? ”

His words were already blocking Nangong Jinhong's mouth with the general trend of the world.

My hand involuntarily pinched the corner of the swaddling clothes, and cold sweat was dripping from my palm.

When Nangong Jinhong heard this, his face couldn't help but be a little sneering, and he smiled perfunctorily: "Liu Shilang is really a young hero." ”

Seeing that this wave was about to pass, I was about to breathe a sigh of relief, when I suddenly heard Pei Yuanhao in front of me speak, and said with a hint of a smile: "Liu Qing's family is worthy of being my minister of the humerus, but there is some truth in Lord Shangshu's words." ”

Chilling slightly, he raised his head to look at him.

I only felt a tingling in my back, and the man sitting on the dragon chair with his back to me kept facing the hall, but I don't know why, I always felt that he had a pair of eyes staring at me, staring at me all over my body, but he spoke with a smile, and said: "For the marriage of Liu Qing's family, I have already planned." ”

“……”

The hall fell silent for a moment.

Everyone's eyes invariably looked at Liu Qinghan, and then immediately turned to the opposite side of him.

Pei Yuanzhen was also alert at this time, looking at the emperor with his eyes wide open, and his face couldn't wait to reveal a trace of joy.

All I felt was a buzz in my head and I gritted my teeth.

Suddenly, a baby's cry suddenly sounded in the main hall.

Everyone originally looked at Pei Yuanhao, but at this time they were taken aback, and they all looked at the place where the crying came from, I stood behind Chang Qing with the child in my arms, and everyone's eyes fell on me.

And in my arms, the second prince Pei Nianyun was struggling and crying.
