Chapter 239: The Purpose of the Banquet
Today, Wangxian Juzhong is very lively, and the princes and nobles gather in it, I don't know why.
Su Mu felt a little strange, it seemed that such a gathering should be unusual, there was definitely something big happening.
However, this should be the Qin Dynasty's own business, why did Qin Shaodi bring himself?
"Just, what do I think so much for? Just drink wine and eat meat. ”
Su Mu didn't care.
I just don't know if His Majesty the Emperor will be there, according to tonight's posture, I'm afraid it is very possible.
Entering the Wangxian Residence, there is no carved fence and jade as he imagined, which is resplendent and brilliant, but a low-key antique, pavilion and pavilion.
"Not bad, not bad."
Su Mu looked at this decoration and was quite satisfied.
There is a sense of warmth and moistness of the water town in the south of the Yangtze River, which is still very novel for him from the north.
Under the leadership of a group of attendants, they first came to a private room, which was equipped with all kinds of facilities.
Emperor Qin Shaodi was sitting on the main seat, not knowing what he was thinking, and when he saw Su Mu coming, he hurriedly got up.
"Brother Su, you are here."
He looked like he'd been looking forward to it for a long time.
"Hasn't the banquet started yet?"
Su Mu touched the tip of his nose, a little unclear.
Emperor Qin Shaodi seemed to have a weak heart, "Ahem...... The banquet will start in a moment, do you know the purpose of today's banquet? ”
When Su Mu saw this, he knew that there was absolutely nothing good happening.
"For what purpose?"
He was wary.
It can't be that you fell into the wolf's den, right?
"Today is the day for the young emperor and the major princes to choose their concubines, and not only that...... The minister's heir and the son of the first generation should also be involved. ”
Qi Qian, who was on the side, saw that his young emperor was embarrassed, so he opened his mouth to explain.
"Oh...... I see. ”
Su Mu immediately appeared with a touch of gossip, "Dare to ask the young emperor, is there a favorite woman?" ”
"Ahem!"
Emperor Qin Shaodi coughed for a while, and his face was a little red.
Looking at his appearance, he seems to be still an innocent young man, which is also ...... Qin Jiuchuan is only about twenty, and most of the time is spent on cultivation, so naturally he has no time to immerse himself in women.
But now is the period of youth and ignorance, and there will always be a seed planted in my heart, and there is a girl who has a good feeling.
Now that it's time to choose a concubine, he also wants to try it.
For the royal family, leaving an heir is a very important thing, although it is not necessary to have children so early, but the selection of a concubine still needs to be carried out early.
"Look at the appearance of the young emperor, it seems that you need me to do something for you?"
Su Mu asked with a smile, feeling interesting.
"There is indeed something to ask for."
Emperor Qin Shaodi turned pale, although his face was still a little ruddy.
"I'm not going to help in vain."
Su Mu raised his eyebrows.
"In my father's cellar, there are countless fine wines, if my business is done, you can take the wine inside, and I will be responsible for what happens."
The pit daddy little expert was reborn.
"Well, then I have to help you with this favor."
Su Mu patted his chest and promised.
As soon as I heard that there was wine, and it was also the emperor's collection of wine, I wanted to help with what I said!
"There will be a martial arts meeting in a while......"
Emperor Qin Shaodi opened his mouth and explained the rules for tonight.
Unlike the official selection of concubines, this is equivalent to a blind date, and the first place is qualified to make a choice.
And after choosing, you can try to contact for a period of time, and if you can succeed, the emperor will give an edict to let the two get married.
Not only that, if you win the first place this time, you can even make a request like the emperor of people.
What Emperor Qin Shaodi wanted Su Mu to do was to help him win the first place in this martial arts, although with his strength, there was a high probability that he would be able to win this crown.
But after all, he is still a little younger, and some princes and ministers' heirs are twenty or thirty years longer than him, and the realm will be slightly higher, in order to avoid accidents, recruiting a thug is also a kind of insurance.
"Got it!"
Su Mu nodded, a little excited.
This kind of drama is the most beautiful.
"Just understand, it's up to you."
A smile appeared on Emperor Qin's face.
He doesn't want his sweetheart to go on a blind date with others.
He even didn't hesitate to give away his father's good wine.
All I can say is...... It is indeed a son.
After waiting for a while, the banquet was almost ready.
Su Mu, under the leadership of Emperor Qin Shaodi, entered the banquet hall.
The appearance of the palace flowing water seat, the main seat is reserved for His Majesty the Emperor, and there is a whole column on the left and right.
Under the leadership of Emperor Qin Shaodi, he came to the table closest to the main seat and sat down.
As the most noble existence of the Qin Dynasty except for the Human Emperor, Qin Jiuchuan's status naturally goes without saying, and it is a matter of course to sit in the position closest to the Human Emperor.
However, Su Mu was a little embarrassed, he was a white body, and it stands to reason that he couldn't sit so close, but under the hard pressure of Emperor Qin Shaodi, it could only be like this.
Su Mu was helpless in his heart, thinking that when the time came, he would inevitably be the focus of the audience.
A strange man is qualified to sit in the closest place to the human emperor, and anyone who is afraid of this will look at it twice.
"You can eat wine and meat now, don't worry about anything else, the martial arts will start in a while, just work hard to clear the obstacles for me."
Qin Shaodi said softly.
"Understood."
Su Mu picked up the melons and fruits placed on the table to satisfy his hunger.
The main dishes have not been served yet, and the banquet can only be held after waiting for people to come and His Majesty the Emperor arrives.
After waiting for half a burnt incense time, with a noise, a group of ministers and their wives and girls walked into the banquet, one by one, and they were overjoyed, obviously this moment that they had been waiting for a long time.
It's a big event.
How can you not be happy as an elder when your children get married?
If you can climb up to the young emperor and those princes, you may be able to go further in your career.
"Meet the Young Emperor!"
The ministers saluted one after another, looking respectful.
Some of the girls raised their heads timidly, wanting to see what the legendary young emperor looked like.
Qin Jiuchuan was dressed in a black python robe, domineering and wanton, with a hard face, eyebrows and eyes like stars, not angry but self-assured, with the aura of an emperor.
However...... What they were even more curious about was Su Mu, who was dressed in white on the side, like an immortal.
Although it is calmly on the side, it is like the abyss of the sea, which contains huge power, and when it erupts, it can overturn mountains and rivers!
Emperor Qin Shaodi noticed it, and his face was full of helplessness...... It was the first time he had been robbed of the limelight, but he also knew in his heart that even if Su Mu stayed quietly on the side, his bearing made people look sideways unconsciously.
"Guys get flat, take your seats."
He waved his hand.
His eyes fell on a girl in pink, and he couldn't help but be a little sluggish.
The girl also seemed to notice Qin Jiuchuan's gaze, and immediately blushed, her ears were red, and her head drooped.
