Chapter 20, since ancient times, the deep affection cannot be retained, and the most bitter life is in the emperor's family

"Meow meow!" (Don't be angry, I'll eat less sugar and fried chestnuts, okay.) )......

(I couldn't hold back for a while when I saw the handsome guy, it's normal for people!) )”......

"Meow meow!" (I'm okay with you, don't you like to pet cats the most!......)

Xu Ming was learning Tang Jinling to nest in the corner of the wall, facing her with his buttocks, thinking about how to use his way to treat his body, but Xu Ming, the hypothetical principle of the establishment of this incident, did not take it into account. The hypothetical principle of this incident is to assume that Xu Ming and Tang Jinling are of equal status. Of course, this assumption is not valid. So when Tang Jinling symbolically apologized three times, but Xu Ming did not go to the road obediently, Tang Jinling broke out again.

"Meow~~!!" (Xu Ming, did you give you face, and again and again, you better turn me around!)

Xu Ming was frightened, and quickly turned around: "I was wrong! I won't dare next time!"

Tang Jinling was very good: "Tell me what you are wrong!"

"I was wrong...... Xu Ming frowned, and found that something was not quite right, "No, I was wrong with a hammer!"

It was nearly evening, the afterglow of the setting sun fell through the open windows, and the bells in the temple of Jiming Mountain in the distance rang six times.

"I won't tell you, I'm going to the palace for a banquet soon. Xu Ming suddenly remembered that he had been invited by the crown prince to attend a dinner in the palace at the palace.

This is the first time Xu Ming has participated in such a big event since he came to this world, and there is still some little excitement when you think about it!

"Be careful when you go to participate, don't talk nonsense, don't eat randomly, don't chat with strangers, and stay far away!" Tang Jinling looked at Xu Ming, who was preparing with great interest, and turned on the broken thought mode. Xu Ming suddenly turned around, picked up Tang Jinling and kissed her forehead fiercely: "I know, wait for me to come back at home!"

Tang Jinling hadn't come back to his senses yet, and Xu Ming had already walked out of the room. "Damn, this wicked man must not have listened to me properly!" Tang Jinling meowed, turned around and jumped on the windowsill again. Xu Ming walked away in the glow, and at the end of his sight, he suddenly turned around and waved at the kitten on the windowsill, then turned his head forward and disappeared into the gradually falling darkness.

"He must have heard what I said. Tang Jinling closed the window and went back to the room.

"Tut-tut, since ancient times, I can't keep my affection, but I still have a routine that wins people's hearts. Xu Ming hummed the little song he had only heard from the Qinhuai River a few days ago, and slowly walked towards the palace.

There is no night in the palace, if the emperor is willing, the Forbidden City will always have only day. But of course this is not possible, but today, the palace is indeed as bright as day.

It is said that an elder of the Ziyang Sect was invited to attend the banquet as a representative of the Ziyang Sect, and even the Liang Kingdom sent envoys to attend the banquet. Many other sects, large and small, in Dongsheng Prefecture received invitations and sent enough elder disciples worthy of this dinner to participate in the banquet, which made Xu Ming feel a little uneasy. He came without much thought after receiving the invitation, which is really strange to think about now. Until he heard the whispers of the monks of the two sects at the gate of the palace.

"I heard that the purpose of this banquet is to betrot the prince of Jingguo and the princess of Liangguo, do you know?" "Really, it is said that the little princess of Liangguo is very beautiful, and even Shen Shishi, the head of Qin Huai Bayan, is slightly inferior!" "That's, I've heard that this prince is not only unhappy, but also wants to withdraw from the marriage!" "I'll go, this kind of person who doesn't know how to be blessed in the midst of happiness, I really want to throw my shoes in his face!" "Be quiet! It's almost time to get to the palace!" ......

"Awesome, my prince!" Xu Ming looked at the brightly lit little Forbidden City in front of him and muttered to himself, "I probably understand what you're going to do." ”

Xu Ming's position was not arranged next to Chen Yuanyuan, not even on the side of the crown prince, but was arranged in a position near the corner behind the Three Emperors, and he could just see the every move of almost everyone at the banquet. And Chen Yuanyuan's position was arranged behind the prince. "I'm afraid I'm going to be unstable at today's dinner. Xu Ming knelt in his seat and closed his eyes to recuperate.

The surrounding sounds gradually became noisy, and the guests all walked into the main hall one after another, and sat down one after another under the leadership of the palace maid. There were also several old men dressed as monks who brought their disciples into the palace and were arranged in front of the main hall. It seemed to be very noisy there, and it seemed that the disciples of the two sects were arguing.

At this time, the third prince, who had been sitting in front, took advantage of the large number of people in the hall and quietly touched Xu Ming's side.

"Hey, brother-in-law!" The third prince still didn't have a proper shape, such a grand banquet, he came with a long gown, his hair was not combed, and he was unkempt with a silver hairpin. If Xu Ming hadn't seen him and said that he was a gangster who had mixed in, it is estimated that Xu Ming would have believed it.

Xu Ming himself didn't have a good impression of the third prince: "Go, go, who is your brother-in-law." ”

"You are my eldest brother-in-law, that is, my brother-in-law!" The third prince was thick-skinned and not like a prince, but like a scoundrel.

Xu Ming asked: "Listen to what you mean, do you want to share a wife with your eldest brother?" The third prince suddenly became anxious: "Fart, I didn't mean that." I saw him look left and right, and his nervous face recovered: "I forgot, I thought I was at home, I heard the words just now, and I didn't have a bed to sleep tonight." ”

"Do you know what my eldest brother is going to do tonight?" the third prince suddenly asked Xu Ming mysteriously.

Xu Ming nodded: "I almost know." ”

"You say, Chen Yuanyuan doesn't like him again, why is he so persistent, no one will persuade him. I persuaded him for an afternoon, this man was too hard-hearted to eat the scales, and he was going to make trouble at the dinner party. Isn't this a mess!"

Xu Ming sighed: "Who knows about love, it's as unreasonable as your mother beating you." Xu Ming looked at the third prince who nodded slowly, and asked him on a whim: "Potassium, calcium, sodium, magnesium and aluminum?" "Zinc, iron, tin, lead, and hydrogen." The third prince subconsciously said, "What's the matter, you still don't know my life experience? Chen Yuanyuan didn't tell you?" Xu Ming grew his mouth in surprise: "Are you too?" The third prince smiled and shook his head: "Of course not, where are so many traversers in this world!" ”

The third prince sat next to Xu Ming, and the good-smelling incense on his body soaked into Xu Ming's nasal cavity, making him suddenly feel that this person was not so annoying. "My mother and my eldest aunt, the Prince's mother, are twins. But my mom is a traverser, but my aunt is not. Later, they were both elected to the palace and gave birth to the crown prince and me. My mother has instilled in me since I was a child what she was called in her original world, Chinese culture. I was really interested in the amazing culture, and then I went to my fiefdom after my mother died of illness. My fief was chosen for me by my mother, and she said that it was the same as the name of her hometown. ”

The third prince looked at Xu Ming, "Actually, I feel that none of you traversers can be called traversers. You died in the original world and were born again in the new world, starting as a baby. Isn't this supposed to be called reincarnation? Reincarnation with the original memories can also be called time travel? At most, Meng Po soup is mixed with water, or mixed with fake medicine!"

"But. Xu Ming just wanted to say that he was not reincarnated, but really crossed over, but was interrupted by the third prince. Because the banquet is about to begin. "It's nothing, you are now the people of this world, whether it is my mother, Chen Yuanyuan or you, it's just one more memory!" After the third prince finished speaking, he patted Xu Ming's shoulder and returned to his position.

"But I'm really a traverser, and so am my cat. Xu Ming looked at the back of the third prince sitting lazily, and suddenly smiled: "That's right, in the final analysis, I am indeed a person from this world now, and I can no longer call myself a traverser, and the traverser is not very high." "Wait until the next time I see Gao Dazhuang and ask him about the underworld, has Meng Po been replaced recently, or is she not in a good mood, why are there so many people who are suspected of being traversers!

Emperor Hongji walked in. The kneeling was over, and the dinner officially began.

Either say that the small merchants and vendors are all wearing royal signs, which emperor has eaten and said yes, and which emperor has mentioned it. If it weren't for the fact that he couldn't take it out in front of everyone, Xu Ming couldn't wait for the dinner party to end and pack up all the chopsticks and take them away.

There were still some martial arts competitions and dancing at the banquet, Xu Ming didn't take it very seriously. However, the matter of the two sect disciples who quarreled just now was clarified. One is the core disciple of Xuantian Sect, and the other is the true disciple of the Wind Thunder Pavilion, they quarreled over trivial matters, and they also fought in front of the emperor, but this is nothing in Xu Ming's opinion. These two people are all petty fights, and they don't dare to kill in front of everyone's eyes, it is not as good as the few irritations that Lin Haifeng, Chen Yuanyuan and Zhang Chengli had that night.

At the banquet, the ministers, literati, and monks were all talking to each other, and even the emperor was talking with the Nanjing Ministry of Rites Shangshu who didn't know what to do. There is also a small chair next to the emperor's dragon chair, on which sits a thirteen or fourteen-year-old child, who feeds himself with the palace maids, and it seems that this is the legendary thirteen princes who want to compete with the crown prince. Xu Ming didn't believe that this little kid would think of competing with the crown prince, for fear that someone with ulterior motives would deliberately spread the rumors.

And the crown prince was sitting at the emperor's head at this time, his fists clenched, fidgeting. Chen Yuanyuan, who was sitting behind him, was calm and ate by himself.

There are many people who come to chat with the three princes, and there are all of them, but the three princes are not in good spirits today, and they are not interested in talking to anyone, and in the end, he is the only one left sitting in his seat and drinking silently.

"Ahem. Halfway through the dinner, Emperor Hongzhi, who was sitting on the dragon chair in the center, suddenly coughed twice, and the originally noisy hall instantly fell silent. "It's coming. Xu Ming put down the food in his hand and silently looked at the position of the crown prince and the emperor. Even the little kid sat up straight. The third prince is still drinking by himself, not giving face to his father at all.

Emperor Hongzhi didn't care about him, and said to the people in the whole hall: "There are two things that invite everyone to come here this time. The first thing is to announce the marriage of Princess Changping, and I have decreed that my precious daughter will be married to Xu Ziyuan, the senior disciple of Ni Zhiling, the elder of the Ziyang Sect! "Emperor Hongzhi's words were mixed with extremely inconspicuous fluctuations in spiritual power, and it was by relying on spiritual power that the sound spread to every corner of the hall. It can be seen that Emperor Hongzhi's cultivation is not low.

"Bang bang. There was a round of applause in the hall, and a young man who sat in a prominent position in the monk's area stood up and thanked those around him. "Elder Ni is here?" "Elder Ni said that he would spend his whole life pursuing the Great Dao, and there is no Taoist couple, and he regards his only disciple Xu Ziyuan as his own, does this marriage with Dajing indicate something?" "It is said that Princess Changping is also very beautiful, much like her grandmother, Empress Ding of Emperor Xian. "I think this Xu Ziyuan is also mediocre, how can he do such a good thing!" "He is one of the best young talents in Dongsheng Prefecture, and he has no defeat in Dongsheng Prefecture with a falling sword......!"

"Ahem. Emperor Hongzhi coughed twice more, interrupting everyone's whispering. "This second thing is the marriage of my eldest son, the prince of Dajingguo, and the princess of Liangguo. This marriage was decided when the first emperor was still alive. Emperor Xian and Emperor Liangwu clapped their hands at Yumen Pass and made an alliance to marry their grandchildren. Now that the little princess of Liangguo is in her prime, she can fulfill the promise of the first emperor. ”

The envoy of the Liang Kingdom, who was sitting not far away, also stood up at this time, and it was a drooping old man: "Under Liu Ancheng, he is the concubine of Emperor Wu, and this time he is here specifically for the marriage of our little princess." ”

The old man coughed twice, and Emperor Hongzhi hurriedly asked someone to help him sit down. The old man took a sip of water and continued, "When I am old next, I will sit down and speak. When Emperor Jingxian and Emperor Liangwu high-fived as an alliance, the old man was next to him, and witnessed the two great emperors make an alliance, and since then Jingliang and Liangliang have been friends with each other, and there has been no war for hundreds of years. The old man bowed his hand to Emperor Hongzhi: "The dowry of my Liangguo has been brought, in addition to all kinds of heavenly treasures and spiritual stones, I Daliang is also willing to give the Yumen Pass as a dowry to Jingguo." In order to show the sincerity of our Great Cool. ”

"Yumen Pass is the transportation hub of the border between Jingliang and Liang, and the pass of Wanfu Mo Kaili is Yumen Pass!" "Liangguo takes this as a dowry, and its sincerity can be seen!" ......

"In this case, I Dajing is also willing to posthumously donate the Hetao Plain as a treaty port and co-govern with Daliang. Emperor Hongzhi agreed with a smile.

"The Pearl of Saibei, the Desert Oasis Hetao!" "This dowry is not small!"

"Then let's make a marriage contract with Ryokuni like this!"

Before Emperor Hongzhi finished speaking, the crown prince's voice resounded throughout the palace: "I don't agree!"

"It's here!" Xu Ming looked at the prince standing in the hall with his fists clenched. His thin figure looked so lonely in the light, just like the thirteen state capitals that had long been shining with long stars.

"It is impossible for me to marry any woman other than Chen Yuanyuan in my life, never!" The prince's voice was like the neighing of a horse in the residual wind, desolate but enduring.

"Good wine!" the third prince seemed to be drunk, and with an inopportune scream, he collapsed on the table in front of him.
