Chapter 1: The Beginning of the Regime Chapter 6 The Palace Birthday Banquet

The sound of the carriage slowly walked by, in the golden sunlight, the reflection of an elegant carriage passed on the ground, the carriage was wrapped in expensive and exquisite silk from the East China Sea on all sides, and after a long period of movement, it finally came to the capital of the old Zhou Empire, and the "distinguished guests" in the car greeted the residents outside the car from time to time.

"Greetings to the king of Haibo Kingdom, please follow me into the post station and wait. "The Ministry of Rites Shangshu received Qingmeng, and Qingmeng went to the post station. On the way, he found a huge prison, and the people inside were constantly wailing, as if they had come from hell, "Is it convenient for me to go to the prison for a walk?" Qingmeng asked.

"What's so nice about breaking a prison, that group of people are all garbage. The Ministry of Rites said.

"I'm still a little interested, take me inside and have a look. "Qingmeng was a little excited.

"Who do you think you are? Dare to dictate to me? A king of a small country is a king of a small country, and he has no basic etiquette qualities. The Ministry of Rites Shangshu yelled, and Qingmeng held back his anger and did not speak.

That evening, Qingmeng was still interested in the prison, put on a dress, ran to the back door and ran to the street, and came to the prison gate, where several jailers were fierce and wide-eyed. Qingmeng took out some silver from his clothes, and then he was able to enter. "You can only watch it for 5 minutes, otherwise the adults should come!"

Qingmeng looked around and found a special smell, it was the dampness after the rain, plus the smell of blood that had dried up, the whole prison was very dim, only a few oil lamps on both sides flashed faint light, there was no light here all year round, even the air was turbid, and the people locked up here were almost all felons of the old Zhou Empire, and they might not be able to get out for the rest of their lives, it turned out that this place was not only the smell of dampness and blood, but also filled with a terrifying breath of death.

It turned out that Zhou Li and Wang Riyue were also locked up here, but they were pitiful for Princess Zhou Li, who had never been out of the palace in her life, but she still firmly believed that her father had only temporarily imprisoned him, but after a long period of torture, he was no longer human, and his child was also born in this hell on earth Not long ago, her husband Wang Riyue was basically in a near-death state, and he was tortured harshly every day, and he couldn't bear it anymore and died as an ordinary person.

Qingmeng happened to come to them, because the baby's cry was quickly attracted, and he stood in front of the cage and said, "This child is very cute. ”

Zhou Li replied: "Yes, as cute as his grandfather, when he returns to the palace in the future, he must let him live a good life." ”

Hearing this, Qingmeng hurriedly asked, "You have a palace at home, aren't you the daughter of a warlord?"

"I'm Zhou Cheng's daughter, Zhou Li," he said with a smile.

"You know, this is death row! you're going to die if you get here!" Qingmu shouted in fear. At this time, he saw the newborn baby with a class on his forehead, like the eyes of the god Erlang.

"Could it be that my father wants to kill me?" Zhou Li was shocked, so she cried bitterly: "Father with no conscience, why do you treat me like this!" Qingmeng hurriedly stopped, and planned to divert the topic: "What's the baby's name?"

"I haven't thought about it yet, why don't you give one up?"

"In my opinion, let's call it 'Wang Yihang', I hope he can grow up healthily. ”

"Can you take him away, if the two of us really die, we can't let the child die with him. After that, Zhou Li burst into tears, hugging the baby tightly, and the baby also cried, as if she could understand her mother's words, and her little hands caressed her mother's cheeks.

"Didn't your father know about his birth?" asked Qingmeng.

"He doesn't know, after you bring it back, you only say that it is your relative's child, and you must not spread that it is mine, otherwise he will definitely catch you. ”

Qingmeng took the baby in swaddling clothes with a trembling hand, and the baby smiled, with a fat little face and half-squinted eyes, sometimes laughing, sometimes sucking his fingers. "Come on, say goodbye to your mother. Qingmeng said with a smile. The baby smiled too, and after a while went back to sleep.

"What's the noise over there!" the jailer yelled with a stick, and Qingmeng quickly blew out the only two lamps he had, unzipped his clothes, put the child inside, and quietly ran away.

"Fuck, it's that dead cat again," the jailer yelled, and another jailer asked, "and the guy who gave us the money?"

"I've been out a long time ago, what's he doing, be quiet!"

Qingmeng took the baby and went straight to the post station, intending to run to the back window and climb in, but at a glance, he saw that the Ministry of Rites and the soldiers in the house were searching, he hurriedly squatted down, only to hear the words inside: "Damn, where did this guy go." "After looking for so long and not finding it, let's go to the city to search!" The soldier and the Ministry of Rites left, and Qingmeng quietly opened the back window, entered the house, and put the baby on the bed, and he was so sleepy that he fell asleep on the bed.

The next day, he heard only a movement outside the door, and Qingmeng got out of bed to check, only to see that the carriage had been waiting for him for a long time, and he hurriedly jumped into the carriage and went to the palace.

In front of the solemn and atmospheric palace, Qingmeng is really an eye-opener, compared to his, this palace seems more magnificent, worthy of being the overlord of the East China Sea. I saw the Ministry of Rites Shangshu walking over softly and asked jokingly, "Brother Zhang went to meet the lady yesterday?" This startled Qingmeng. "No... I didn't do anything, I just went for a walk and ......."

"Ahhahahahaha, I said you wouldn't be like this, well, I just hope you didn't go to that prison, let alone meet people you shouldn't see!"

Qingmeng was really scared of the six gods, but in order to prevent not being discovered, he had to pretend to be calm and enter the palace.

This palace is not only spacious, but also gorgeous, it can really be described as carved beams and paintings, and it is splendid. The four corners of the hall are raised high, graceful like a few swallows that are about to fly, the good white jade shop, the ground made, shining with warm light, the railing of white marble is gorgeous and gorgeous, there is a huge bright moon pearl hanging on the top of the treasure in the hall, shining, as if shining like the bright moon shining on the whole city.

"Qingmeng to meet Emperor Lao Zhou, I specially brought 3,000 taels of gold, 500 cattle and sheep each" Qingmeng came to the lobby and said.

"You're here, please get up, come here, give King Haibo a seat!" Zhou Cheng said.

Qingmeng stood up and looked around, it turned out that the kings of many countries had already arrived here, and their eyes and demeanor all showed a disdainful style, and they were even quietly discussing Qingmeng's costumes.

"Thank you. Qingmeng sat down in the middle of the banquet.

"Today is the day of my Zhou Cheng's 60th birthday, I am very happy that everyone can come to cheer, my country has prepared a good wine, today is not drunk and will not return!" Zhou Cheng said happily, everyone congratulated, only Qingmeng drank idly on the side.

"You have no quality, how could King Zhou Cheng invite a waste emperor like you to a waste country? This is our lord's temple, what can a little hairy child like you do?" At this time, an old man shouted, and everyone laughed in unison, not knowing how Qingmeng should spend this Hongmen banquet safely......
