After Pei Qi changed into court clothes, he was already a respectable old man at this moment, if he said that in disguise, Pei Qi really never lost to anyone.

She followed Jiang Lingfeng into the palace, and the venue of the banquet was set up in the main hall of the court, which was also a place that Pei Qi was very familiar with.

"Huh? Look, isn't this Lord Su? Isn't he already retired, how can he come back? ”

"Not only that, look at the one next to Master Su, it seems to be His Royal Highness!"

"I don't know what day it is, everything that should come and shouldn't come is here!"

“……”

“……”

Along the way, the people who saw Pei Qi and Jiang Lingfeng all talked about it, and their surprised eyes were more about exploration, and they all guessed each other's purpose for coming to this palace banquet.

It seems that some people don't know that he Jiang Fengchuan is about to proclaim himself king.

Also, even if he made a big fuss about Miss Lu's courtesy, who would dare to publicize it?

The wind and grass are blowing, and in front of him, a "big man", he has to be calm.

It's just that there is a person who can come to tonight's palace banquet, which is a surprise even for Pei Qi.

That is the graceful posture that is coming towards you, the eldest princess, Jiang Yuelian.

According to Pei Qi's understanding, this princess has always been a talented daughter who only focuses on poetry, writing, literature and science, and even if there is a major event in the court, it doesn't matter to her.

Although she was loved by the first emperor and was the most noble princess of Dasheng, if she was placed in the court, she would have no place.

It is precisely because of this that Rong Qin did not take her seriously.

I don't know where she came here today.

Seeing that Jiang Yuelian was about to walk in front of him, Pei Qi bowed his head and bowed, "Xiaguan has seen the eldest princess." ”

And Jiang Lingfeng on the side smiled at her very informally: "Sister Huang, I haven't seen you for a long time." ”

"Master Su doesn't have to be polite." Jiang Yuelian smiled politely at the two, and raised her hand to help Pei Qi up.

But in the next second, she knocked on Jiang Lingfeng's head: "You kid, you didn't even say hello when you left the palace, and you didn't send a letter to the imperial sister during the period, and you didn't even send a bad person to tell me when you came back, but you found Master Su first, and called the imperial sister?" I'm like your royal sister. ”

"Alas, alas! Sister Huang, I was wrong, I was wrong, you can spare me! Jiang Lingfeng hurriedly covered his head and hid behind Pei Qi, and complained dissatisfiedly: "This is still a lady that everyone admires, and eighty percent of them are pretending to be outside!" ”

"Stinky boy, do you say it again?"

"Say no more!"

Seeing the two of them playing around her, Pei Qi stroked his beard and couldn't help laughing.

Although Jiang Yuelian and Jiang Lingfeng are not compatriots of the same mother, their private relationship is indeed the best among many princes.

No matter how Jiang Lingfeng says, he is also a person who knows martial arts, Jiang Yuelian wants to beat him, how can it be so easy?

Seeing that things were fruitless, Jiang Yue glared at him and put her eyes back on Pei Qi.

"Let Master Su smile."

Pei Qi shook his head: "It's okay, the eldest princess and the second highness have a deep relationship with their sisters and brothers, and the lower officials are really envious." ”

"My younger brother is usually not serious, but now even the imperial sister dares to ridicule." Jiang Yuelian pointed at Jiang Lingfeng and shook her head helplessly.

Then, she lowered her head, as if she was considering something, and finally exhaled, and hesitated for a long time before she planned to say it: "I heard that Master Su was once the person of the national teacher Pei Qi, and he also had a gold medal arrow given by the national teacher in his hand. ”

Pei Qi was shocked, and looked at Jiang Yuelian's eyes, and unconsciously became a little more positive: "Xia Guan doesn't understand what the eldest princess means." ”

"You don't need to be wary of me." Jiang Yuelian's face was indifferent, and she was generous: "This kid has been friends with Pei Qi since he was a child, and now Pei Qi's whereabouts are unknown, and when he finds you, it is not difficult for me to guess that the gold medal order arrow is in your hand." ”

"To be honest, Jiang Fengchuan, I also hate it in my heart, you have to prevent him from ascending the throne, please do your best."

Pei Qi didn't expect Jiang Yuelian to say such a thing.

This princess has always lived in a simple place, don't say anything about interfering in the affairs of the court, even on weekdays, several noble ladies ask her to travel, she has always refused, not only came to the court today, but also supported her so frankly to stop Jiang Fengchuan, it really made her wonder why.

Even Jiang Lingfeng beside him was suspicious.

Pei Qi thought about it again and again, but couldn't help but express the doubts in his heart: "I don't know why the eldest princess will appear at this palace banquet today?" ”

Jiang Yuelian pinched the wisp of green silk scattered on her chest and brushed it, she looked at Jiang Lingfeng, saw the same confusion in his eyes as Pei Qi, and finally said in a deep voice: "Although I am not familiar with Pei Qi, I also secretly admire her style outside the court, and I am a rare honest person, especially after learning that she is a woman, I admire her even more." ”

"Since the owner of the Jade Noodle Village robbed the law field, I have asked someone to check for a long time, but I still can't get any news of her, I know that her current situation must not be easy, and there is no way to prevent Jiang Fengchuan from ascending the throne."

"Jiang Fengchuan's mind is not pure, and he had plans to usurp the throne earlier, how could his father not know? Although his old man wrote an edict to let the crown prince succeed to the throne, he also expected that Jiang Fengchuan would make a move on the day of succession, so he ......"

"Then I have a second edict in my hand."

As Jiang Yuelian said about the second edict, Pei Qi was shocked in place, and a turbulent wave was set off in his heart.

She never thought that the first emperor would leave a second edict!

Not only Pei Qi, but even Jiang Lingfeng was dumbfounded, he grabbed Jiang Yuelian's shoulder, and was afraid of attracting the attention of others, so he deliberately lowered his movements, but the excitement in his mouth was difficult to hide: "Sister Huang, tell me quickly, what is written on my father's second edict?" ”

Jiang Yuelian was pinched by him, frowned reflexively, slapped the big hand on her shoulder, and distanced herself from Jiang Lingfeng.

"The meaning of the edict is probably that if the crown prince succeeds to the throne, then the candidate for the new emperor must be jointly discussed by Rong Qin and Pei Qi, that is to say, if Rong Qin wants Jiang Fengchuan to succeed to the throne, he must also be approved by Pei Qi."

Jiang Yue was halfway through her words, but she suddenly let out a sneer, and the irony in her eyes was very obvious: "In the eyes of my father, Rong Qin and Pei Qi are his right-hand men and the most trusted courtiers, but he never expected that the person who really instigated Jiang Fengchuan to seek power and usurp the throne was actually Rong Qin. ”

Pei Qi's fists squeaked, and tears were already in his eyes.

In the years she has been with the first emperor, she never thought that she would be so used by the first emperor, she just wanted to rely on her own strength to make the country and the people of Dasheng safe, and the grace of the emperor was something she never dared to think.

Unexpectedly, the first emperor even handed over the matter of the new monarch to her in his edict......

Pei Qi raised his head, trying to force tears back into his eyes, but inadvertently noticed the very bright star hanging high above the main hall.

It's like looking at the first emperor.

Jun's reuse, Pei Qi ...... How can you afford it?

"But you don't have to be happy too early, now Pei Qi has a lot of sins, and people have disappeared, whether it is black or white has to be decided by Rong Qin? This edict will not be overturned by him. ”

It wasn't until Jiang Yuelian spoke up again that she pulled the sluggish Pei Qi back from her thoughts.

Pei Qi wiped his tears and bowed deeply to Jiang Yue: "Don't worry, princess, even if the lower official gives up this life today, he will never let Jiang Fengchuan ascend the throne." ”

The emperor's order, the grace of the mighty king, your country, the minister......

I will do my best to defend it.
