Volume 2: True Dragon Fuyuan Chapter 102: The State Banquet Begins
It is said that when the enemy sees each other, he is very red-eyed, Wang Liang has met Teng Anfu twice, and he didn't even fight when he sat in the same carriage, Wang Liang felt incredible just thinking about it!
However, Wang Liang had no choice, after all, his second brother was in front of him, and he couldn't ignore it!
got out of the carriage and entered the palace, Wang Liang didn't want to go down with Teng Anfu anymore, and returned directly to Wang Liu.
"The eldest brother and the national teacher have finished talking?"
“...... Sort of. Wang Liang didn't want to explain, "It shouldn't be a problem for me to sit with you, right?"
"How come!" Wang Liu smiled and pointed to the civil official sitting on the chair in front of him and the guard next to him, "Let's go in after the inspection, big brother, you put your sword there first, blade weapons can't be brought into the palace!"
Forgot about this stubble!
Wang Liang knew some of the rules in the palace, but he hadn't been here, if it wasn't for Wang Liu's reminder, he really forgot that he still had a sword!
But where did Wang Liang dare to save the sword here, Teng'an Fuke is still here, in case something happens, how to deal with it without a sword?
Running the spiritual power, Wang Liang took advantage of the fact that they didn't find it, and quickly hid the ink ugly sword in the mustard seed space in the scabbard. Although he can usually put both Mo Chou and Jin Yu into the scabbard, but this one carries the scabbard on his back but has no sword, which looks a little weird.
Now is not the time to be weird, so you can only hide your sword in it first.
The three of them walked to the civil official, Wang Liuwen let the guards search his body, and Wang Liang followed their example and let the guards search.
"By the way, big brother, you can put your sword ......" Wang Liu turned his head and looked at Wang Liang's back and was stunned, didn't he just catch a glimpse of Wang Liang carrying a sword on his back?
Wang Liang blinked his eyes casually: "I didn't bring a sword." ”
"But ......"
Wang Liu watched as the guards searched his eldest brother's entire body, and except for an empty scabbard, there was really no blade!
"It shouldn't be a lot to bring a scabbard, right?" Wang Liang asked the guard, pointing to the scabbard.
The guard was also speechless, isn't it fun to carry a scabbard without a sword? I haven't heard of any assassin who stabs with a scabbard?
“...... It's okay!"
"The lower officials have already memorized it, and the three of them will enter the palace!"
At this time, the civil officials also registered, saluted respectfully, and let them into the palace.
Entering the palace, Wang Liu's expression was still a little disillusioned, he clearly remembered that the eldest brother was carrying a sword, why was it gone?
"Ah Zhao, have you seen my eldest brother carrying a sword?"
Wen Zhao actually saw that Wang Liang had a sword before, but now that he only has an empty scabbard, it is indeed a little strange, could it be that he didn't sleep well last night and hallucinated?
“...... Didn't pay attention!"
"But ......"
"Okay, I really didn't carry a sword!" Wang Liang was afraid that they would think of something, so he put his hand on Wang Liu's shoulder and hurriedly said, "Aren't you going to have a banquet, where are you going?"
“...... This way, but it should be a while before the party starts. Wang Liu put aside the question in his mind, and then replied, "We came early, and it was not dark yet." When it gets dark, there will be more people coming, and then the banquet will begin, right? Speaking of which, I don't know how to go......
“...... Okay. ”
It was not clear to ask Wen Zhao, and the three of them could only wait in place for a while.
After half an hour, the sky gradually darkened, and more officials came, and they walked in one direction with their family members in twos and threes, and the three of them hurriedly followed.
When they arrived at a splendid hall, Wang Liang and the others found a seat and sat down by themselves. When the sun went down, the hall was finally full.
There were three seats closest to the dragon chair, but now there were only two people. The leader should be the eldest prince, Wang Liang just looked at him and felt a breath of battlefield killing coming to his face, and that person just sat like this, there was a kind of majesty.
No wonder Wang Liu said that it was a pity that he was not the emperor!
Wang Liangzhi admired it for a moment, and then set his eyes on the second prince.
Compared with the burly and domineering of the eldest prince, the second prince is obviously a lot weaker, although it is not feminine, but his temperament is indeed not as masculine as the eldest prince!
After comparing these two people, Wang Liang will not make an evaluation for the time being, after all, it is just appearance, and he has not been in contact with it.
After waiting for a while, the emperor in a dragon robe came out, and the banquet was finally about to begin. Wang Liang looked at the emperor with his back bent, his face full of vicissitudes, and he was almost fifty or sixty years old, and it seemed that as Wang Liu said, he thought that the crown prince who was about to abdicate before he became a prince would take his daughter back to Beijing by the way.
When the emperor came out, the underground cadres immediately stood up and shouted: "Long live my emperor!"
"No courtesy, no courtesy!" After the emperor asked them all to sit down, he couldn't help frowning when he looked at the vacant seats next to the two highnesses, "Where did Wu Jing go? Why haven't you come back yet?"
"It's coming, it's coming!"
As soon as the words fell, a pretty figure rushed into the palace and ran all the way to the emperor's side.
"It's too late for the son's rudeness, please forgive my father!"
"Do you know the faux pas?" the emperor snorted, but seeing that she admitted her mistake so well, he didn't pursue it, "Sit down." ”
"No hurry, no hurry!"
Wu Jing said, hurriedly ran out of the palace again, and pulled two people in from the outside. Wang Liang took a look, isn't that Funan?!
I saw Fu Nan and Xiao Yun smiling bitterly, and they were forcibly dragged into the palace by Wu Jing and brought to the emperor.
"Father, let me introduce you that these two sisters are the people who saved me when I was assassinated before entering Beijing!"
Funan and Xiaoyun looked at the emperor in front of them, sighed in their hearts, and had to salute the emperor: "Minnu Funan/Xiaoyun, I've seen the emperor!"
"Oh, it's these two women?" The emperor looked at Funan and the two, and a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes, "These two people look weak and can't help it, how can they save you?"
"Don't underestimate them, the two sisters are all good at martial arts! Three punches and two kicks will knock those assassins away!" Wu Jing said excitedly, "They are very powerful! Especially Sister Xiaoyun! Father, I'll tell you......"
Seeing that Wu Jing was about to talk about what happened at that time, Xiaoyun hurriedly stepped forward to interrupt Wu Jing's words.
"Your Majesty, our martial arts are not high, the princess is lifting us!"
The emperor smiled and said: "Even if it is not high, it saves the princess, and the reward should still be rewarded, as for what is the reward......"
At this time, Wu Jing jumped up again: "Father, don't be in a hurry to reward you first, how can you understand the thoughts of a woman's family if you are a man?" How about I take my two sisters to the treasure house to choose by myself?"
"Looks like you're going to slaughter me, but that's fine, you're up to yourself!" the emperor smiled and waved them to sit down.
"Thank you, Father!"
Wu Jing stuck out her tongue mischievously, took Fu Nan and Xiaoyun to a seat below to settle down, and then sat down on the seat.
"Big brother and second brother are good!"
The prince smiled and asked, "Why did my sister come so late?"
"Uh...... I overslept in the afternoon!"
The eldest prince closest to Wu Jing had a sensitive nose, smelled the smell of Wu Jing's body, and snorted twice: "There is a smell of earth on your body, are you reading a book in the soil?"
The lie was instantly exposed, and Wu Jing sneered: "I just went to study, and then went to play for a while......
"It's okay!" said the prince with a round smile, "My sister is still young, and it is natural to play. I heard that it is snowing in the mountains near the capital, so in a few days, shall I take you to play in the snow?"
Wu Jing immediately clapped her hands and nodded: "Okay, okay! Thank you, second brother!"
"What is good!" the eldest prince shouted lightly, "As the crown prince, you should lead by example!
And Wu Jing, you also have to spend more time reading, don't just know how to play!"
“...... Oh. Wu Jing was trained, lying on the table sullenly and not speaking.
The crown prince's smile stiffened by the eldest prince's preaching, and a trace of fierceness flashed in his eyes, and it took a long time to calm down the emotions in his heart, and he reluctantly said: "What the eldest brother taught is this!"
After being reprimanded by the eldest prince like this, several people did not speak again.
The emperor glanced around the audience, and immediately found that there was one person missing.
"Why didn't he come?"
Didn't come?
Wang Liang looked around and didn't see anyone, so he couldn't help but wonder, shouldn't Teng Anfu come early in the morning?
The emperor couldn't see the national teacher, and he couldn't tell where he was, so he couldn't help but be a little annoyed: "Hurry up and send someone to find the national teacher!"
The eunuch who served on the side nodded hurriedly, ready to go down to find someone.
"The emperor is not in a hurry, the minister is here!"
There was a loud shout from outside the palace, and then Teng Anfu walked in unhurriedly, and Li Shi behind him followed silently with a box in his hand.
Wu Jing, who was originally depressed, watched Li Shi come in, her eyes lit up, and she raised her hand to say hello, but she didn't want to attract attention, so she could only hide her arms under the table, and left her hands to show and pose.
However, it seems to be too hidden, and Li Shi did not find it at all.
"Please atone for the emperor's sins, the minister is late. ”
The emperor was concerned: "Why did the national teacher come so late?"
"The emperor invited the ministers to a banquet, and it happened that the new prince was appointed and the princess was brought back, so the ministers wanted to take this opportunity to give the emperor a gift!" Teng Anfu waved his hand to Li Shi, and Li Shi stepped forward instructively and handed the box to the eunuch who came to take over.
The eunuch took the box, and then put it on the emperor's table.
"What is this?"
Teng Anfu smiled mysteriously: "A thing that the emperor has been asking for!"
"Oh!"
The emperor was instantly overjoyed, and hurriedly prepared to open the box to take a look, Teng Anfu said at this time: "Your Majesty, the gift still has to be seen in private!"
The emperor woke up and withdrew his hand: "Yes, yes, yes! It's okay to go back and see!"
said so, but the emperor did not mean to ask the eunuch to take the box down. Although the words are said to the bottom, the eyes are looking at the box from time to time.
"The national teacher is sitting next to me, since everyone is here, the banquet should also begin!"
The eunuch brought a table and chairs and placed them on one side of the emperor's dragon chair, which was higher than the seats of the three princes! Teng'an thanked the emperor for his favor and sat down calmly. Li Shi didn't have such qualifications, so he could only find a place to do a good job at the bottom.
Wang Liang took in all of this, thinking that there seemed to be something strange about the contents of this box! But now was not a good time, he would have to sneak into the palace to find a chance to take a look!
But what did Teng Anfu want to invite himself to this banquet for? It can't just be a meal, right?
Wang Liang had some doubts in his heart, but soon, his doubts were dispelled by Teng Anfu.
