Chapter 189: Palace Banquet
In the palace, singing and dancing are drunk, and everyone in the royal family gathers in the Cheng'en Hall to keep the New Year. The crown prince sat down first and spoke with the crown princess.
He said in a low voice: "When we came out, Zhao Zhao's face was a little wrong......
The crown princess lowered her eyes, disgusted that he pretended to be affectionate in front of her, in order not to let the superior see the clues, she also lowered her head, pretending to eat, "If you are really worried, then pretend to be sick and don't come." β
The prince was stabbed and could only shut up. The emperor looked at it above, snorted coldly, and said to the queen: "Look, the prince is so wrong!" β
I can't even hold a woman back. Although Yingniang is smart, even if she is smart, she is also a woman in the back house, if she is not as good as the crown princess, how can she sit in the emperor's position and deal with the ministers in the future?
He was really not satisfied with the prince. When I was a child, I looked okay, but the more I grew up, the more stupid I became, and I was simply stupid.
He looked away and looked at the Jin Wang couple sitting in the second row, and then his eyes paused and narrowed slightly.
King Jin is different from the crown prince, this child has been intelligent since he was a child, and no matter what he does, he can always do better than the prince.
But he was also bolder......
The emperor turned his mind away, took a sip of wine, and remained silent for a long time. When the empress next to her saw it, she immediately greeted her and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, today is Chinese New Year's Eve, do you want to compose a poem?" β
She picked up a piece of meat and put it over, "I still remember when the concubine and His Majesty first met, His Majesty also taught the concubine to write poems." β
The Emperor was in a better mood. He recalled: "Yes, I used to like to write poetry when I had nothing to do. β
"Now I'm afraid I haven't written poetry for seven or eight years, right?"
Queen: "Yes, it's been seven or eight years. β
She took another piece of meat and went over, "The concubine admired Your Majesty back then, not only for your Majesty's poetry, but also for Your Majesty's martial arts. β
"Wenzhi martial arts, Your Majesty is not lacking."
The Emperor laughed and patted her hand, "Yes, I really didn't lose to others back then. β
Although he was not a prince when he was young, he won the succession and finally entered the East Palace. Later, he personally fought in the north and south, and became the only emperor in this dynasty to personally conquer.
His poems are spiritual, which was also praised by the emperor, and his martial arts are murderous, one sword and one person, and he never loses a battle.
He came from the seizure of the heir, waded through the mountain of corpses and blood, and finally reached his current position.
He cared about his courtiers, sympathized with the palace people, loved the people like sons, and little by little turned a chaotic dynasty into the current prosperous world, he thought he was worthy of the word Mingjun.
Even if he dies in the future, he is worthy of his ancestors. But life is not perfect, God was too good to him, but he gave him a bad prince.
Thinking of the prince's cowardly appearance, he got angry, and couldn't help but look over, just in time to see that the princess was serving vegetables to the prince, but the prince was eating as it should be, and he didn't give the princess back at all, as if he was angry.
He closed his eyes and felt that the prince was useless. No matter how the crown princess is in the East Palace, she gives the prince enough face outside, but this stupid thing can't even pretend to be affectionate, and flirts with a beauty there all day long, if it weren't for the princess being a stable person, I'm afraid something would happen in the East Palace.
He sneered in the direction of the crown prince, and when the queen saw it, she was overjoyed, and gave the emperor another piece of meat, "Your Majesty, eat it quickly, it will be cold later." β
The emperor hummed lightly, and then summoned the servant to come, and said: "Give the crown princess a plate of beef, she doesn't like to eat anything else, she has loved beef since she was a child." β
The queen said sourly, "Your Majesty is so biased, the concubine is here, you don't care, only reward the crown princess." β
The emperor smiled and said: "What do you care about with a child, Yingniang has been smart since she was a child, and she has won my heart, if it weren't for her to be the crown princess, I would recognize her as a goddaughter and a princess, otherwise whoever she married would have wronged her, so she would simply recruit a colt to go back." β
Queen: "......"
Just boast!
But he also felt that the crown princess deserved this praise, and at the same time he was so envious that it would be good if the crown princess married King Jin.
She didn't dare to continue to be sour, so she only smiled and said, "Your Majesty is making fun of the concubine again." β
Below, the crown princess pulled the prince to stand up and kneel down, already thanking the emperor. When the emperor saw her worshipping with the crown prince, he was satisfied, and waved his hand, "Sit down, eat early, it's not delicious when it's cold." β
The crown princess sat down with the prince again. She put the beef in the middle, picked up the chopsticks and ate a chopstick, then laughed, and summoned the little eunuch, "Bring the chili minc, beef sauce, fresh shrimp paste, add some fresh chili peppers, and finally pour hot oil on it and sprinkle some sesame seeds." β
The little eunuch went in response, and about a quarter of an hour later, he immediately brought these things again, and the crown princess personally mixed the sauce for the night and asked the eunuch to bring it to the emperor.
The emperor laughed, "I'm just like this, Yingniang still remembers." β
In this way, the face of the East Palace was saved, and the prince sat there and glanced at King Jin proudly, which made King Jin's face darken.
Relying on women, what's the use.
But looking at the emperor's happy face, he had to smile reluctantly.
The prince was even more proud. When he returned to the East Palace, he smiled and said to the crown princess: "Yingniang, didn't you see the black face of King Jin." β
Crown Princess: "Your Highness, you can sleep here tonight." β
The prince was stunned, and then struggled a little, "But I still have to accompany Zhaozhao." β
Crown Princess: "You sleep with me, and I'll accompany Zhaozhao tonight." β
The crown prince frowned, "Why?" β
The crown princess took off her gorgeous clothes, put on simple clothes, and went to remove the pearl hairpin on her head and said: "Zhaozhao's body is much more stable, and his mood is much better, in a few days it will be the day when the noble lady's family members will visit the palace, and then I will design to let Miss Ning Wu and Miss Sheng come to see Yunyan onceββ"
"At that time, Zhao Zhao should always know who Miss Sheng is."
She took off the last hairpin, and suddenly laughed gently, "You have been hiding it from her, I think she knows about it, she should hate you, but she will also rejoice." β
The prince's face turned pale, and then he sat down irritably, "Can't you not tell her?" β
Crown Princess: "No. No one in the world can deprive Zhao Zhao of his right to know. β
She looked intently at the prince, "Didn't you notice?" Zhao Zhao was not happy, especially after giving birth, she hadn't smiled for a long time. When Miss Sheng came last time, she only said a few words of Jiangnan dialect, and she laughed happily. β
"Shouke, after you told the truth that day, I didn't dare to ask Zhao Zhao about the past, and I also wanted to ask when I met her today. Is there anything you want to tell me in advance? β
The prince was stunned, wanted to say something, swallowed again, and then shook his head and said, "No." β
The crown princess stood up, "Then I'll go find Zhaozhao." β
The prince saw the princess leading a group of people out of the door in the cold wind, and when the door opened, the cold air rushed in, stabbing his bones sore.
He smiled bitterly, didn't take off his clothes, lay on the bed and closed his eyes, and didn't dare to sleep, just waiting for the princess to storm him later.
