Chapter 613: The Reception Banquet
The reception banquet to reward the army was held the day after the army returned to Beijing.
Previously, Pei Yao also took the time to go to Fengxuan Palace.
Naturally, he cares about the affairs of the five princes.
After hearing the queen relay the words of the two doctors, Pei Yao was silent for a while.
After a while, he raised his eyes and looked at the queen, "I listen to you about this, what are you going to do?" ”
"The concubine still hopes that Xu'er has the opportunity to leave a trace of blood, whether it is male or female, good or bad, someone will offer incense to him in the future." The queen whispered.
Hearing this, Pei Yao narrowed his eyes and said after a while.
"So be it, as you wish."
After a pause, he said, "Even if Xu'er really has no queen in the future, I will allow you to personally choose a child and pass it on to his name." ”
For what happened to the five princes, Pei Yao also blamed himself in his heart.
If he hadn't sterilized Concubine Wan, Concubine Wan would not have made a mistake and deducted this revenge on the queen, thus harming the life of the five princes.
What a good child, just ruined.
The queen didn't know what Pei Yao was thinking, so at this time, her eyes were only slightly red, and her voice was slightly hoarse and thanked her.
After sitting in Fengxuan Palace for a while, Pei Yao left.
Mins came in and removed the cold tea, looking distressed.
"Why don't Niangniang say a few more words to the emperor, now the emperor is ashamed of Niangniang and His Royal Highness, as long as Niangniang stays with the emperor for dinner, the emperor will definitely give face, maybe Niangniang can get pregnant again."
"There is no affection, they have always respected each other like guests, and now that such a thing has happened, this palace has some resentment against the emperor in my heart, and how can this palace do something to invite pets."
The queen's eyes were lowered, and her voice was low.
Hearing this, Min Si also sighed secretly and didn't say anything more.
After exiting from the hall, he saw that Tian Mo had just returned from outside.
"Where have you been? The emperor came up and told Niangniang about our Royal Highness. ”
"Tonight is the reception banquet, I was afraid that something would go wrong underneath, so I went to check it again." Tian Mo said, then looked at the closed door of the hall, and lowered his voice, "Niang Niang is not happy?" ”
Minth nodded and sighed, "Niangniang didn't figure it all out in her heart. ”
"That's because there are people who are in the eyes, and the eyes are gone, and the mother is naturally happy." Tim Mo said.
Knowing that Tian Mo was very angry recently, Min Si also shook his head helplessly and didn't say anything more.
In the evening, the reception banquet was carried out normally.
Because Fang Yu was still in confinement, he naturally did not attend.
But even if she didn't come, there was no shortage of topics on the field that revolved around her.
For example, congratulating the emperor on having a healthy and lovely little princess, as well as Kuazhao Guifei gave birth to a son and a daughter, she is a blessed person, and the little princess was born when the territory of the two countries was unified by Daqi, which is an auspicious omen.
These words fell on the queen's ears, and her heart became more and more uncomfortable.
You can only drink sullen wine one at a time.
Min Si and Tian Mo were waiting on the side, and they were distressed to watch.
But today's banquet, how can it not be the queen's turn, after all, it is Qin Guogong and other soldiers who have made meritorious contributions, including Concubine Wan's brother, Hu Daixu.
Pei Yao first crowned Huo Mingxuan, the official of the coach, and then named Fang Jin on the spot as the wife of Zhengyipin.
This is also the glory of the Qin State Mansion, after all, although Huo Mingxuan is young, he is basically at the top if he is promoted to the top of the ranks.
Fang Jin was a little flattered, and he was also busy thanking.
"Your sister misses you very much, and she still mentions you with me these days, and when this reception banquet is over, I will be free to enter the palace to talk to your sister." Pei Yao said gently.
Fang Jin owed, "Yes, the courtiers are also thinking about the concubine Niangniang these days, and when she heard that the concubine gave birth to the princess, she was also happy, and she had already prepared the gifts, waiting for the concubine Niangniang to be in good spirits, so that she could visit the palace." ”
"In this way, your sisters have the same thoughts, and your sister also remembers that you have just returned to Beijing and are tired from the journey." Pei Yao smiled easy-going.
It really looks like an ordinary family chatting with each other.
But some people have some flavor in their hearts, I am afraid that the emperor is contacting the mother's family relationship for the concubine.
No, Pei Yao's next words confirmed some people's conjectures.
"Ji'er, come here." Pei Yao beckoned to the four princes, and immediately pointed at Huo Mingxuan with a smile, "This is your uncle, you will live in Beijing for a long time in the future, your uncle is superb in martial arts, you need to ask for advice." ”
"I've seen my uncle!"
The four princes were also generous and neat, and immediately saluted, with a pair of big eyes flashing.
"I heard that my uncle is skilled in archery, and when he is riding a horse and galloping, he can pass through the Yang in a hundred steps and take the enemy's head, I want to see the bow and arrow used by my uncle, is it okay?"
As he spoke, he turned around and pointed to a few babies behind him.
"We all want to see it."
When he said this, the eyes of the four princes were crystal clear, like a quirky and coquettish kitten, and they were completely worshipping idols.
Huo Mingxuan naturally did not refuse this time, and smiled heartily.
"Okay, as long as Your Highnesses come, the ministers are waiting for you at any time!"
"Thank you, uncle!"
The four princes smiled with crooked eyebrows and bowed.
Everyone present saw all this in their eyes, and they all pondered, the emperor is starting to build momentum for the four princes.
With this in mind, during the next banquet, everyone also paid special attention to Pei Yao's actions to prevent missing any hidden information.
The queen looked at the scene in front of her, and her heart was a little panicked.
Under the pretext that he drank too much wine and was a little stuffy, he took Minsi's hand and went out of the hall to breathe.
And just as she was standing under the porch outside, looking at the bright moon in the sky in a daze, Prime Minister Lu's voice came from beside her.
"The old minister sees the queen's mother."
"Father." The queen retracted her thoughts, and hurriedly helped Prime Minister Lu Cheng up, "Father doesn't need to be polite, why did you come over." ”
Prime Minister Lu Cheng got up and looked at the queen with pity in his eyes.
"The minister saw that Niangniang seemed to be restless and a little worried, so he came out to take a look."
Hearing this, the queen's eyes flashed, and she immediately turned sideways, and her voice was low.
"Father should be able to see that the emperor has the heart to support the four princes."
"According to the ministers, the four princes are smart and diligent, kind and enthusiastic, and trained well, and they can indeed become a good monarch, and now the general trend is coming, Zhao Guifei is rushing to the harem, the military achievements of the Qin State Mansion are great, the Liu family is thriving, and there are many people in the court who have secretly supported it."
Prime Minister Lu Cheng said in a deep voice.
After hearing this, the queen turned around, "Father, I just have some unwillingness, and I have already survived to the end, but the bamboo basket is empty." ”
"Niangniang, the moon is cloudy and sunny." Prime Minister Lu Cheng said earnestly, "Niangniang still remembers what she said before, what is the mother of the country?" ”
Hearing this, the queen's throat stagnated, and she paused before she said softly.
"For the mother of the country, be the mother of the world, be an example of the women of the world, serve the monarch, supervise the advice, take care of the harem, do not make the harem chaotic, everything is important to the overall situation, first the mother of the world, think about the world, and then think about the self, think about your own affairs."
After hearing this, Prime Minister Lu said in a low voice, "Now that Niangniang's heart is in turmoil, you should think about it." ”
After saying this, Prime Minister Lu turned around and left.
