For Queen Xie's praise, Concubine Rong didn't buy it. After she stood up, she said with some trepidation: "Queen Mother, you really torture the concubine when you say that." She forcefully pulled her hand out of Empress Xie's hand. Then, his eyes looked at Emperor Wu of Zhou gently, "Father Long has no dogs, this is all taught by the emperor." With that, she took out a handkerchief from her sleeve and wiped her hands gently and earnestly.

When Empress Xie saw Concubine Rong's action of wiping her hands, her eyes sank, and she almost couldn't maintain the decent smile on her face. She stiffened, then returned to her dignity and said, "What Concubine Rong said is that the dragon father has no dogs. The acting king is really like the emperor when he was young. ”

After wiping her hands, Concubine Rong threw the handkerchief to the palace maid behind her.

"The acting king is far behind when the emperor was young, and when my cousin was as old as the acting king, he was already a victorious general." As soon as she finished speaking, she suddenly thought of something, covered her mouth and chuckled, "Queen Mother, I'm sorry, the concubine forgot that you were a child at that time, and you didn't know how heroic the emperor was back then." ”

The last sentence poked at Queen Xie's sore spot. Concubine Rong knew what Queen Xie's sore spots were, and she poked her sore spots fiercely.

When Empress Xie heard this, her eyes became gloomy for a moment, but she soon recovered as before. Just as she was about to say something, Emperor Wu of Zhou interrupted her.

"Sit down."

Concubine Rong smiled at Emperor Wu of Zhou, and sat down obediently in her seat.

Queen Xie breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, she couldn't go up or down, she was very uncomfortable, so that she almost couldn't maintain the smile on her face.

She took a deep breath, stabilized her mind, raised her glass and said to Emperor Wu of Zhou: "Your Majesty, congratulations to the concubines, Liangzhou has won a great victory." ”

Seeing this, everyone also stood up one after another, raising their wine glasses to congratulate Emperor Wu of Zhou.

Zhao Yao is a child, of course he can't drink, he stood up and said a few words of blessing together.

Since the news of Liangzhou's victory came back to the palace, Emperor Wu of Zhou's mood has become very good. He stood up and drank three glasses with his concubines and children.

After Empress Xie toasted, it was Concubine Rong's turn to get up and toast.

"Your Majesty, the concubines wish the Great Zhou prosperity and the peace of the country......" Concubine Rong is very smart, she did not mention the victory of His Royal Highness the King from beginning to end.

After Concubine Rong finished toasting, it was Concubine De's turn.

The third concubine also said some auspicious words, and of course she did not forget to praise the acting king's ability.

Concubine Li and Liang Zhaoyi also said similar things.

After the concubines finished toasting, it was the turn of the prince and princess to toast. Of course, it was the crown prince who took the lead in the toast.

The crown prince first congratulated Emperor Wu of Zhou, and then praised the acting king for his excellence. He also said that thanks to the fact that the acting king has been quelling the chaos outside the country over the years, the Great Zhou has become more and more stable. He also said that it was an honor for him to have a younger brother who was the king, and it was also a blessing to the people. In the end, he said that fortunately, with the god of war as the acting king, there is no need to worry about the safety of Da Zhou and the people.

He said this very sincerely, as if he were sincere.

After listening to His Royal Highness the Prince's words, Zhao Yao exclaimed in his heart: High, high! Brother Prince's words are really high!

These words sound like praising the merits of the king, but they are actually praising the king. It seems that there is no acting king in the Great Zhou, and the country of the Great Zhou is unstable. and the reason why the Great Zhou has the current stability is also because of the war on behalf of the king. All this is the credit of the acting king, and no one else's credit.

This high hat is wonderful to wear!

He was still thinking that the acting king had made such a great contribution this time, and both inside and outside the government and the opposition were praising the acting king's ability, and even said that the acting king was more suitable to be the prince than the prince's brother. Faced with such a situation, how could Brother Prince fight back, but I didn't expect that at the beginning of tonight's dinner, Brother Prince counterattacked beautifully.

When Concubine Rong first heard the prince praise the acting king, she was very proud, but the more she listened, the more wrong she became. After the prince finished speaking, she hurriedly said: "Prince, you have praised it falsely, the stability of the Great Zhou Dynasty ......"

Before she could finish her words, the prince suddenly coughed: "Cough, cough, cough ......" made her unable to continue.

When Empress Xie saw that the prince interrupted Concubine Rong's words with a cough, she was very disdainful, but thinking of the embarrassment that Concubine Rong had just given her, she decided to accompany the prince to play once.

"Prince, what's wrong with you, did you get caught in the rain and suffered from the wind chill today?" Empress Xie asked with concern on her face.

As his father, Emperor Wu of Zhou naturally couldn't pretend to turn a blind eye, and asked with concern: "Feeling unwell?" ”

Concubine De said: "Today's rain is heavy, the wind is also strong, His Royal Highness the Prince's body is not very good, I am afraid that the wind blew during the day today, and the wind was cold." ”

Concubine Shu said: "The concubines all feel that it is cold today. ”

Concubine Liang said with a concerned face: "Hurry up and pour a cup of hot tea for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." ”

Concubine Rong's face was a little cold: "Prince, you are not feeling well, you should recuperate well in the East Palace, and you should not use it to attend tonight's dinner." ”

After the prince coughed for a while, he stood up and saluted Emperor Wu of Zhou to apologize: "Father, my son is fine, my son was a little anxious to drink just now." ”

Empress Xie glared at the crown prince, pretended to be a little dissatisfied and said, "You kid scared your father. ”

"It's all my son's fault." The crown prince's face was full of shame, "Please punish my father." ”

"It's okay to be fine." Emperor Wu of Zhou raised his hand and motioned for the crown prince to sit down.

As soon as the crown prince sat down, Concubine Rong was about to continue what she had just said, but the third prince grabbed ahead of her.

The three princes stood up and saluted Emperor Wu of Zhou's wine. He is the best literary one among all the princes. His words of blessing were all quoted from the scriptures, and in the end he praised the acting king for being like Bai Qi during the Qin Dynasty, invincible.

Concubine Rong was of course not happy when she heard the third prince say that her son was like Bai Qi. Although Bai Qi often won battles, he killed the 400,000 army of Zhao State and was a very cruel person.

The three princes praised the bravery of the king on the surface, but in fact, they were sarcastic that the king was as cruel as Bai Qi and killed innocents indiscriminately.

Rong Guiren naturally couldn't see the third prince slandering her son like this, so he lowered his face at the moment and unceremoniously accused the third prince of saying that the acting king was like Bai Qi, what kind of heart was An, was he saying that the acting king was cruel?

"Guifei Niangniang, you misunderstood, Erchen didn't mean that......"

Concubine Rong coldly interrupted the words of the third prince: "Then what do you mean?" Saying that, she sneered, "Third prince, you are full of poetry and books, don't you know what kind of person Bai Qi is?" Are you satirizing the acting king by comparing it to Bai Qi? ”

Concubine Shu hurriedly said: "Guifei Niangniang, the third prince didn't mean this......"

Concubine Rong raised her hand to interrupt Concubine Shu's words, and said unhappily: "Okay, what does the third prince mean, this palace knows it very well. After speaking, she turned her head to look at Emperor Wu of Zhou, and said with a very aggrieved expression, "Your Majesty, the acting king won the battle for you, but the third prince said that it was for nothing." ”

The third prince said with a flustered expression: "Father, the son doesn't mean anything else...... Emperor Wu of Zhou swept over with a look, and the third prince was so frightened that he quickly closed his mouth and didn't dare to say anything more.

Concubine Shu was about to defend the third prince, but when she saw that Emperor Wu Zhou's face was a little impatient, she was too frightened to say anything.

At this time, the four princes stood up and toasted Emperor Wu of Zhou. He also congratulated Emperor Wu of Zhou first, and then praised the great victory of the acting king, he said that this great victory was not only the credit of the acting king, but also the credit of many soldiers. There was also the wise guidance of Emperor Wu of Zhou. In the end, he said that with Emperor Wu of Zhou, the acting king, and many soldiers, the Great Zhou Dynasty will become more and more stable, and the people's lives will be better and better.

Zhao Yao was in his heart, and frantically praised his fourth emperor brother.

His four emperor brothers' words are not only beautiful and beautiful, but also leaky.

Emperor Wu of Zhou listened to the words of the fourth prince and a smile appeared on his face.

Then came the five princes, who learned the words of the four princes.

In the end, it was Zhao Yao's turn to be the youngest son. He didn't learn the words of the fourth prince, "The second emperor brother is powerful, and the father is even more powerful." The second emperor brother is a hero, and his father is a big hero. ”

He was naïve, but he wasn't wrong. Emperor Wu of Zhou did not dislike him, after all, he knew that his youngest son was stupid and couldn't speak.

"Zhao Yao, will you say these two sentences?" Emperor Wu of Zhou was not dissatisfied, but the Nine Emperors were unhappy. The others praised the acting king to the sky, and he was very happy to hear it. For him, praising his second brother is praising him. Zhao Yao's two sentences were too simple, and he was not satisfied. "Won't you say anything else?"

Zhao Yao looked at the Nine Emperor Princes, looked innocent and sincere, and said, "No." ”
