Chapter 198: The Banquet

"Whose person are you?" Lu Luoxi raised her eyebrows and asked, no wonder she felt that Tianji Pavilion was extremely mysterious and powerful.

This eldest princess doesn't have to know. The old lady said with a smile.

"You just need to know that we have what you need."

"Oh?" Lu Luoxi asked with interest, "Then I'm quite curious about what kind of things your Tianji Pavilion can provide me?" ”

The old lady said indifferently: "It depends on the sincerity of the eldest princess." ”

"Okay." Although Lu Luoxi didn't know what the wishful thinking of Tianji Pavilion was, the soldiers came to block the water and cover it.

One more friend, one more way.

And at the other end of the Ouchi Palace.

"The Seventh Prince, Lu Jingqian, has made meritorious contributions to water control, rewarded one million taels of gold, and countless treasures of silk and satin, jewelry and jade." Gonggong Li's loud and sharp voice resounded in every inch of the empty corner of the Taiji Palace.

"Son, thank you, Lord Longen, long live my emperor, long live, long live." Lu Jingqian knelt down and bowed.

Emperor Long Yan Dayue: "The Seven Princes are flat, I will hold a banquet tonight, and I will invite the ministers and clan relatives, you must be there early." ”

"The retainers obey." Lu Jingqian kowtowed and thanked him.

Lu Jingqian left the main hall and walked in the direction of the imperial study.

The imperial study is the place where the emperor approves the folds, and in ordinary times, except for the emperor, others are not allowed to trespass without a call.

After Lu Jingqian arrived at the imperial study, he stood at the door and waited for the summons.

After a long time, he heard the footsteps inside, Lu Jingqian raised his eyes, and a man in a dark python robe slowly walked out.

The man's sword eyebrows are starry, handsome and resolute, and his angular outline reveals a cold aura that rejects people thousands of miles away.

"His Royal Highness the Prince." Lu Jingqian shouted.

Lu Jinglei looked at Lu Jingqian and snorted coldly: "How did the Seventh Prince come here?" ”

Lu Jingqian said unhurriedly: "My father specially instructed his sons and daughters to come to the imperial study after going down to the court. ”

Lu Jinglei sneered: "The Seventh Emperor Brother should be careful of his body. ”

After finishing speaking, he brushed his sleeves away, leaving Lu Jingqian standing alone in place, not angry but laughing.

Lu Jinglei originally thought that Lu Jingqian, a sick seedling, had no threat of taking over the heir, but he didn't expect Lu Jingqian to suddenly become deeply hidden, and he also managed the Nanyang flood, and he shined in the court today.

It seems that he really underestimated him!

Lu Jinglei's eyes were gloomy.

After Lu Jinglei left, Lu Jingqian walked into the imperial study.

"Son-in-law, see father."

Lu Yunzhao raised his eyes when he heard this, and when he saw Lu Jingqian coming, he hurriedly said, "Wu'er doesn't have to salute. If you are not feeling well, I will allow you not to bow down with anyone in the future. ”

"Thank you, Father." Lu Jingqian knew that this was a great emperor's grace, and he was probably the only one in the world who enjoyed this honor, so he hurriedly opened his mouth and thanked him.

Lu Yunzhao looked at Lu Jingqian and said with concern: "How are you feeling lately?" ”

Lu Yunzhao's tone was full of worry, as if he was full of guilt for this son.

"Thank you for my father's concern, my son's illness has been much lighter." Lu Jingqian replied.

"That's good." Lu Yunzhao said with relief:

"Now you are still young, and because of the poison of the mountain fruit, your body is weak, and your father doesn't want you to be too tired, so it's better for you to wait until you finish the palace banquet before going out of the palace."

"Yes." Lu Yunzhao replied in a low voice.

"You have a lot of hard work to go to Nanyang City, don't work hard." Lu Yunzhao said with concern.

Lu Yunzhao looked at Lu Yunzhao and stopped talking.

"What do you want to say? But it doesn't hurt to say that. Lu Yunzhao saw through his mind and encouraged him with a smile.

"Father, this time to deal with the Nanyang flood, not only the merit of the sons." Lu Yunzhao plucked up the courage to say.

I know that you want to take credit for Luoxi, and I understand this kind of thought.

Lu Yunzhao patted him on the shoulder and said comfortingly: "These things are clear in my heart, but everyone in the world knows that it is a flood that the Seventh Prince removes, and a daughter's family in Luoxi is not suitable for contaminating the government." This made the world talk about it a lot, and it also damaged her reputation. ”

Lu Yunzhao's words did not make Lu Jingqian die, and when Lu Yunzhao was about to continue persuading Lu Yunzhao, a little eunuch hurriedly ran in and reported: "Your Majesty, the Marquis of Zhenguo asks to see you." ”

"Announce him in." Lu Yunzhao ordered.

"Wow." The little eunuch hurried out.

"Marquis of Zhenguo?" Lu Yunzhao muttered and repeated, his brows twisted into a Sichuan shape.

Soon, a middle-aged man walked in, with a straight posture, a majestic spirit, and a gesture full of might and domineering.

"The minister knocks to see the emperor." The Marquis of Zhenguo saluted.

"Flat." Lu Yunzhao said lightly, "Flat." ”

"Your Majesty." Zhenguohou stood up, bowed and said:

"Your Majesty, the dog was ordered to send an envoy to Jiangnan today for disaster relief, and he encountered an assassin on the way and was seriously injured, so I implore the emperor to allow the dog to enter Beijing to recuperate."

"What?" Lu Yunzhao's face changed suddenly, "Can you find the murderer?" ”

"The minister has sent someone to investigate, and I believe that clues will be found soon."

The Marquis of Zhenguo said in a deep voice: "I also ask the emperor to allow the dog to return to Beijing to heal his injuries, and when the dog recovers, he will immediately go back to continue to exterminate the mountain bandits and water thieves." ”

Lu Yunzhao pondered for a long time and nodded: "Accurate." ”

After thanking the Marquis of Zhenguo, he withdrew.

After the Marquis of Zhenguo left, Lu Yunzhao's face became more and more solemn.

This incident is no accident, the son of the Marquis of Zhenguo was seriously injured, and there must be something strange in this.

Lu Jingqian saw that the emperor's face was solemn, and he said loudly: "Father, the sons are willing to share their worries for their father."

Lu Yunzhao shook his head and said, "I am going to be free in this matter, you go down and rest first."

After Lu Jingqian saluted respectfully, he withdrew.

Lu Yunzhao rubbed his forehead with a faint pain, and a strong omen of danger rose in his heart.

He suddenly felt a little tired, waved his hand and said, "Let's all go down." ”

After the attendants retreated one after another, only Lu Yunzhao sat on the chair and was silent for a long time.

In the imperial garden, the lights are bright, the celebration begins, and hundreds of officials are staggered.

The singing and dancing performances during the banquet attracted the attention of civil officials.

At this time, a beautiful and charming concubine twisted her waist and walked into everyone's sight, and on her left and right, followed by two richly dressed girls, the three of them were beautiful, with thousands of manners, dignified and virtuous, like fairies.

Everyone couldn't help but be captivated.

"Hey, isn't this Concubine Shen who was canonized as a concubine some time ago? How did you come to the Imperial Garden? A young official asked in surprise.

"Yes, isn't Your Majesty not allowing women to enter this banquet?" Another official chimed in.

"Concubine Shen is really blessed, Your Majesty loves her very much." Immediately, someone answered and said what was on their minds.

Everyone suddenly realized, and immediately understood why Concubine Shen and her daughters could often be seen appearing these days.

"Yes, these two girls are beautiful and have a docile and elegant personality, and Your Majesty must like it."
