Chapter 4 The emperor and queen feast guests from all over the world to enjoy the colors
"Hey, little brother, excuse me. I see that the people coming and going into the city on this road are quite lively, could it be that there is something going on in the capital today?" a young man with a carriage and a hat on his head asked passers-by.
"Eighty percent of your outfit is from out of town, right?"
"Yes, it's the first time I've arrived in Shangjing, so I'm ......" The passer-by saw that the young man didn't continue to say more, but when he first arrived, it was inevitable that he would be a little unfamiliar with the place.
"See, there are so many people coming into the city behind you...... They're there...... Some are members of the imperial court, some are nobles of the family, and some are envoys from Rouran, the Western Regions and the southwest. The reason why these days are so lively is because the full moon banquet of the six princes is held, and the emperor and queen invite guests from all directions, just like the scene you see in front of you. The passer-by pointed to the young man in a different costume behind him and patiently explained to him.
When the young man learned of this, he simply thanked the passers-by, then turned around and lifted the delicately made curtain on the carriage, explained a few words to the man sitting in the carriage, and then lowered the curtain.
Emperor Dacheng entertained guests from all over the world...... Or to celebrate the little prince who was born not long ago...... Just look at the lively crowds coming and going in and out of the capital and hear the conversation of passers-by...... Although I didn't hear about them, seeing them was enough to say nothing. The Six Princes...... I'd love to meet you.
The middle-aged man sitting in the carriage closed his eyes and rested, and a boy next to him, who was only six or seven years old, had a different light in his eyes. The boy was lying flat with a fan in his hand, but he saw that the pattern printed on the handle of the fan was the emblem of the Evil Beast Clan of Mengla, the leader of the southwest alien race.
"Bo Yi, today is the full moon banquet of the emperor, you know what to say and what not to say, right?" Mrs. Guicheng gently pressed her sideburns with her hand while arranging her clothes.
"I know, follow my mother's teachings. After Chu Boyi said this, Mrs. Guicheng was already standing in front of the door and looking at the invitation in the hot stamping font in her hand. It is a grand feast, and those gate valve families ...... No, Dong Jia...... I'm going to go and celebrate. It's a pity for my husband who died young...... There is no if...... I'm sure you'll be accompanying us at this moment, right?
Mrs. Guicheng looked at the invitation for a long time and sighed. Behind her, Chu Boyi saw that his mother had not gotten into the carriage for a long time...... Mother...... Speaking of which, I haven't been to his grave for a while...... After this busy time, it's time to take a trip.
"Mother, let's get into the carriage, don't miss the time to enter the palace. ”
Mrs. Guicheng dipped the tears in the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief, and after calming down, she put away the invitation and repeatedly confirmed the congratulatory gifts she carried into the palace, and took the carriage with her son Boyi into the palace.
"Anyway...... Xin Zhuo, this time our Dong family can't lose face at the full moon banquet of the six princes. On the carriage, a middle-aged man wearing a scarf and a broad white shirt looked at the young man sitting across from him and said.
Face...... In his father's eyes, everything the Dong family must occupy the scenery to show the dignity of the family. Sadly...... Or are you jealous...... None of that matters to me. Full Moon Banquet of the Six Princes...... When the young man of the Dong family was thinking strongly, the middle-aged man, who was his father, opened his mouth to talk about the Han family again.
"Speaking of which, the maiden home of the six princes is also the queen's mother...... The Han clan will come too......"
"Han family, my father is talking about that family......"
"The family...... His Han clan can't be called a family now...... Haven't I heard of it......?
"Han family...... The full moon banquet of the prince will also participate in it, but since the Han family was involved in the imperial power dispute in the previous dynasty, the Han prime minister was also angry when he was young, although his father was involved in the dispute, but he also sat on the position of prime minister with his own efforts...... "Dong Xinzhuo chatted with his father unhurriedly about the past of the Han family. On the other carriage that entered the palace, they were also talking about the same topic at this time.
Although the queen's brother sat on the throne of prime minister, he has never forgotten the time when the Han clan was involved in a dispute. He suspected that someone was planning to frame the Han family, so he sent someone to secretly investigate. At that time, the Han family, known as the first gate valve in a hundred years, fell into the quagmire of the usurpation of power by the three princes of the previous dynasty. Therefore, in the opposition of the courtiers, the Han family was demoted to a commoner by the prince of Yuhe, who had just ascended the throne, and his majesty is now ......" Mrs. Guicheng stroked the invitation in her hand, recalling the scene at that time.
That means that even if Prime Minister Han Cheng holds an important position, he will still be looked down upon by those gate valve families...... Identity of civilians...... In this dynasty, it is like a slave being branded by his master, no matter how hard he tries to change, he can't erase it. Chu Boyi heard his mother's words and also said his thoughts.
"Bo Yi...... Let's just talk about it......" Mrs. Guicheng's face suddenly became nervous, and the invitation in her hand was also folded by her.
Chu Boyi saw his mother's nervous expression, and pulled her cuffs with one hand.
"Mother, I know this. Even if we don't say it, others are not stupid, they know it. The current Dacheng Dynasty...... Although it is not as concentric as the founding of the country, it is ...... under the prosperity It's already an undercurrent. ”
"Bo Yi ......" This child has died on the battlefield since he beat his husband, and he is not the carefree person he used to be...... Hey, I don't know if it's good or bad?
On the way to the palace to congratulate everyone, the carriage of the Dong family and the carriage of the Chu family accidentally rubbed to the edge. Since the fall of the Han family, the Dong family has quickly become a new gate valve force. When the coachman of the Dong family rubbed the carriage of the Chu family, he did not get out of the car in time to apologize, but asked the Chu family to apologize first when he got out of the carriage.
"How do you drive?!Don't you have long eyes when you walk?"
"Uncle, I'm really sorry! There were many people coming and going just now, and the horse was frightened, so I accidentally bumped into ......."
The coachman of the Dong family put down the reins in his hand and jumped out of the carriage to compensate them.
"You said there were a lot of people coming and going, I can't see it, right? The road to the capital is very wide...... If that's the case, why don't you go to the side? The Dong family's groom did not give up, and did not jump out of the carriage to reason like them, but looked condescending.
The crowd next to him who didn't think it was a big deal gathered more and more, and there was a lot of gossip.
"You! You are making a fuss! We apologize to you, but what about you? You have to hold on to this matter and not let go......
"Apologize? It's your fault first, shouldn't you apologize?"
"You ......"
The coachman of the Chu family was blushing and angry when he was told by the coachman of the Dong family, and he was ready to roll up his sleeves and reason with them. And the coachman of the Dong family saw the coachman of the Chu family roll up his sleeves and hurriedly pretended to be panicked.
"Oh no! Oh no! The Chu family is the first to give in, saying that they can't beat people!"
When passers-by saw this, they suddenly became hot-headed.
"Ahh
"Yes, yes, relying on the fact that you are a prince and general, is there no one in your eyes......"
Outside the carriage, there was everything, and there were vegetables and eggs in his hand and smashed them into the carriage. Regarding the unreasonable request of the Dong family's coachman, Mrs. Guicheng, in order not to delay the time to enter the palace to congratulate her, temporarily got out of the carriage to apologize. And Chu Boyi, who was sitting in the car, couldn't help but squint his eyes when he saw this scene. The coachman of the Dong family received the apology from the Chu family and drove away without looking back. From beginning to end, the Dong family, who was already at fault, did not show up to explain.
Everyone walked into the hall one after another in a chorus of joy, and the emperor and queen saw the crowd who came to congratulate the people with happy brows. The Rouran of Mobei, the political and business representatives of the Western Regions, the leaders of the foreign races in the southwest, and the envoys of the small countries in the south of the East Island all participated.
"Your Majesty, all of you are here today. ”
"Yes, you see that this full moon banquet is so lively! Bring her over later, and you will definitely have to toss again. ”
The emperor and queen looked at each other, their eyes full of thick smiles.
"Brother Boyi, you can be regarded as coming! Why did you come later than usual?"
"Second prince, it is inevitable that there will be a lot of people on the road today, so it will be delayed. ”
Chu Boyi saw the person walking towards him, and bowed his head slightly.
"I heard the guards around me say that on the way into the palace, your carriage accidentally collided with the Dong family's carriage?
"It's just that it has rubbed the edge of the carriage, and it doesn't matter if it's a little thing, and the second prince doesn't have to take it to heart. ”
"But I heard that the Dong family coachman is very powerful......!
Just as the second prince wanted to continue, he was stopped by Chu Boyi beside him. At this time, the emperor and queen stood on the main hall and toasted to everyone. The banquet was held in a group of singing and dancing, and everyone watched it with relish. In everyone's congratulatory voices, the emperor and queen also responded to you with a smile. Just when the atmosphere of the banquet was strong, the full moon banquet offered by the envoy of Mobei Rouran attracted everyone's attention.
