Chapter 39: The Lady's Luxurious Birthday Banquet

The night was dark, the streets were quiet and there were no pedestrians, and the second prince Ming Thorn Star had been messy in the wind for a while. Yun Kaixian's words just now did make him feel like he had been hit by a heavy object, but this feeling didn't last long, and he rode back to his palace. In his opinion, that was simply nonsense. The next time I meet Yun Kaixian, I will definitely send him to Dali Temple to deal with it strictly, and I dare to question the emperor's bloodline, which is undoubtedly the capital crime of dividing the corpse of the five horses.

Time flickered, and Qian Qunxiao and the others had been in the palace for two days. Early in the morning of the third day, everyone followed the old prince to the "Fuqing Palace" of the concubine Niangniang early.

"Nanyun Kingdom" concubine Quan Feiluan is the biological mother of Ming Feiyu, the princess of Jiaoyang, and the second daughter of Quan Changhe, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites. When he was young, he was not only born with a beautiful appearance, but also read poetry and books, learned five cars, and had a very good set of smelting and people's livelihood, so "Emperor Yongchun" Ming Qichen always likes to discuss court politics with her, and sometimes adopts her opinions. Today is Quan Feiluan's forty-fifth birthday, and the banquet is set in the "Fuqing Palace" where she stays. Not only did the Manchu civil and military capital come to congratulate the birthday, but even the three kingdoms of "Northern Zhao", "Western Qi" and "Linyue" all sent princes or princesses to participate, and the momentum was huge, which can be described as extraordinary.

The sun is three poles, the back garden of "Fuqing Palace" at this time is already full of lights, the voices of people are boiling, the people come and go are the court officials and nobles, and the back garden is full of flowing water banquets. The civil and military officials above the fourth rank and the princes and princesses of the other three kingdoms were all arranged into the palace of the "Fuqing Palace".

Early in the morning, the emperor of the "Nanyun Kingdom" Ming Qichen and the empress Lian Chengying drove to the "Fuqing Palace". Queen Lian Chengying is the daughter of Lian Yunba, the opposite sex king of the "Nanyun Kingdom", "Pingxi Hou". Lian Yunba's forty-year career as a horseman, followed the first emperor and the current saint to block the east and west, made great achievements, and was named "Pingxi Marquis" by the first emperor. For many years, he has been guarding the area of Liangzhou to prevent the attacks of Turkic, Rouran and other powerful peoples. Lian Yunba led 200,000 troops, and his fierce generals were like clouds, which can be called the feudal officials and the princes of one party. Although Lian Chengying was also born in a wealthy family and has his own mind and bearing, "Emperor Yongchun" obviously favored the concubine Quan Feiluan a little more, coupled with the instigation of the maids around him, so it was inevitable that he would have a mustard in his heart. It's just that she is low-key and good at forbearance, although she is secretly dissatisfied with Quan Feiluan, she doesn't show it on her face at all. This Lian Chengying is five years older than Quan Feiluan, and in the eyes of others, they are as harmonious as sisters.

In the "Fuqing Palace", Yongchun Emperor Ming Qichen and Empress Lian Chengying sat in the middle of the head, and the concubine Quan Feiluan sat on the birthday star seat on the side of the two. On the left is the civil official, led by the old prince Ming Hongying and Ming Zhanxiong, followed by Ma Tianhou, the prime minister of the dynasty, and then the crown prince Sun Chengyuan, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, Quan Changhe and others. Ming Qichen was also surprised when he saw Ming Zhanxiong, who had disappeared for more than three years, only because Ming Zhanxiong told him to wait until after the banquet to tell him in detail about the past three years, so he endured it. On the right side of the banquet are all military generals, the first one is the crown prince Ming Chengxuan, followed by the military department attendant Lian Jingcheng, followed by Yan Kaitai, the commander of the Praetorian Guard, Hai Qingyue, the general of the Imperial City Division, and Bai Xi, the deputy commander of the Praetorian Guard. To congratulate the noble concubine on her birthday, all the civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty arrived. Opposite the "Emperor Yongchun" and the empress, sat Yun Bingyan, the princess of Western Qi, Pan Beiyue, the prince of Linyue, and Xiao Qianmo, the princess of Northern Zhao. This princess of Beizhao, Xiao Qianmo, looks extremely familiar, and it is a young man who has a relationship with Qian Qunxiao in the inn. At that time, Qian Qunxiao felt that his whole body exuded the smell of a woman's fat powder, but he didn't expect his true identity to be a princess. Originally, Qian Qunxiao was attracted by his external temperament and wanted to have a good exchange with him, but Xiao Qianmo temporarily seemed to have something happened and left in a hurry.

In the blink of an eye, it was noon, the guests and hosts sat down one after another, and the maids and cooks also served delicious dishes one after another. Seeing that the time was almost up, "Emperor Yongchun" Ming Qichen picked up the wine glass and stood up, and when everyone saw it, they immediately followed and stood up with the wine glass.

"Ladies and gentlemen, princes and princesses from afar, today is the birthday of my concubine, today I don't want to discuss the government, drink and enjoy the dance, and rest when I get drunk."

As soon as Ming Qichen's words fell, all the ministers immediately said in unison: "The ministers wish the concubine Niangniang Feng Ti Kangtai and Shoubi Nanshan"

Quan Feiluan raised his glass and said with a smile: "The concubines thank the emperor and the queen for their great grace, and thank you to all the adults." Please. ”

Quan Feiluan, Ming Qichen and others drank the wine in the cup, and then the prince of Linyue, the princess of Beizhao and the princess of Xiqi all stood up one by one to congratulate the noble concubine on her birthday.

After everyone finished toasting, the prince Ming Chengxuan walked to Xiao Qianmo, the princess of Beizhao, with a little warmth in his eyes, and said affectionately: "Sister Qianmo, do you still remember your brother Chengxuan?" ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone looked at each other and laughed, and everyone understood what was going on. Twenty years ago, in order to ease the border situation, each of the four countries sent its own prince to another country as a proton. The six-year-old prince Ming Chengxuan worked as a proton in Northern Qi for three years. In the past three years, Ming Chengxuan and Xiao Qianmo have been inseparable, and they are childhood sweethearts. Later, Ming Chengxuan returned to "Nanyun", although more than ten years have passed, but he has always remembered this childhood friend, this time I heard that she also came to celebrate her birthday, needless to say, the joy in his heart is needless to say. As soon as Xiao Qianmo saw the door today, he recognized it at a glance. Seeing that Xiao Qianmo had come out of the slim place, like a hibiscus out of the water, there was suddenly a feeling in his heart that was spreading wantonly.

Xiao Qianmo was slightly shocked, this experience, she also heard others mention it when she grew up, but unfortunately when she met Ming Chengxuan, she was only two years old, too young, and many people and things have long forgotten. So although some people have repeatedly mentioned it, she feels that her memory is very vague, but fortunately she still remembers the name of Ming Chengxuan, the prince of "Nanyun Kingdom". Since the person in front of him is Ming Chengxuan, he has to be polite when he says anything. It's just that Ming Chengxuan came over to toast so directly, which made her feel a little embarrassed and uncomfortable.

"Of course, of course I do."

After Xiao Qianmo finished speaking, he raised his wine glass and approached his bright red lips, paused slightly for a moment, and then took a small sip.

Ming Chengxuan stared at Xiao Qianmo's beautiful face, and he couldn't help himself in his heart, and he was about to say it again, but Ming Yinghong's voice came from behind him: "Prince, the old relationship will continue later, I am going to announce the opening of the banquet." ”

Ming Chengxuan had no choice but to give up, threw an indescribable look at Xiao Qianmo, and returned to his position.

"Ahem", "Ahem"

Ming Qichen coughed twice, and was about to announce the opening of the banquet, when his eyes glanced around and suddenly said, "Why don't you see Feiyu and Thorn Star?" Where did these two children go? What kind of system is this? ”

As soon as Ming Qichen's words fell, Ming Feiyu's voice came in: "Father, the son has arrived." ”。

As soon as the words fell, Ming Thorn Star and Ming Feiyu walked in one after another. Ming Thorn Star was holding a box in his hand, which should be a birthday gift to the noble concubine. But when everyone looked at Ming Feiyu again, they couldn't help but widen their eyes at the same time, and the expressions on everyone's faces were extremely exaggerated, as if they had seen an alien monster.

Ming Feiyu actually walked in with a boxy wooden sign, and a big word "injustice" was suddenly written on the wooden card.
