Chapter 472: Palace Banquet
The Yuan Shi Emperor, who was seated, got up and greeted Xiahou Shuang to the seat, and all the ministers got up and shouted Niang Niang Chitose.
"Niangniang gave birth to a little princess for His Majesty this time, and she has made meritorious contributions in Jiangshan Sheji, this cup wishes Niangniang, and wishes Niangniang good health. ”
The cabinet An Ge Lao took the lead in raising a glass, who in the world does not know that His Majesty loves the queen's mother, and he does not hesitate to scold and persuade the courtiers who accept the concubine for the sake of the mother, as long as he pleases the mother, wouldn't it be homeopathic to please His Majesty.
Sure enough, the First Emperor of the Yuan Dynasty took the lead in holding the wine glass and said to the queen: "The queen has worked hard and made great achievements, this cup of wine should be drunk." ”
"Thank you, Your Majesty. ”
The top of the hall is peaceful, and the people sitting below have different thoughts, Tong Yingxuan, who has just returned to Beijing, sees this scene and has mixed feelings in her heart.
The majestic and cold His Majesty's friendship with the queen has not changed for many years, and even if he ascends the throne, it does not fill the harem, such an emperor can be called the first person in the ages.
"Xuan'er, try this snack. King An pushed the plate in his hand towards her, and Tong Yingxuan held it in his hand, it was the taste he liked to eat, soft and sweet.
With a smile on her face, she understood in her heart why she envied the happiness of others, and she was not the object of envy of others.
Concubine Duan looked at King An and his wife and felt relieved, although she had no chance with the throne in this life, but fortunately, there was a happy ending, Concubine Duan made up her mind, and after King An left Beijing this time, she went to the fiefdom with the couple.
In the inner courtyard of the palace, there were people she loved and enemies, and now she is the only one left alive, although the empress dowager has suffered a stroke and can't speak, but Concubine Duan is still afraid that Xiao Xinmao's death will be known by the first emperor, and it is better to stay away.
Wang Shuwan in the corner was in a low mood, and the singing and dancing in front of her seemed to be incompatible with herself, she knew that it was impossible to go to the palace according to her identity as the wife of a sinner, but the chamberlain came to deliver the decree in person, and she understood that it was because the queen took care of her young friendship, so she missed her.
His Majesty, who was dressed in bright yellow clothes on the high position, was smiling at the moment and didn't know what to say to the queen, which made the queen laugh for a while, Wang Shuwan saw this scene with a tight throat, and a bitterness surged in her heart, this man couldn't climb high when he was young, and now after all, he is still wrapped in the thick color that is difficult to erase in his heart.
Zhang Yanyu looked at her brother who was sitting on the foreign minister's seat opposite a little nervously, she was afraid that her brother would see Sister Shuang's gaffe, Sister Shuang is no longer the sister next door who played together when she was now a country.
Zhang Yanchong, who was opposite, picked up a wine glass in his hand and played with it for a long time, and after thinking about it, he put the wine glass down.
Seeing the frost girl on the high platform from a distance, it was still a familiar face, but it was far from the hearty and cunning woman in his memory.
It's time to let go, Zhang Yanchong realized at this moment that maybe only he was still living in the past.
Mrs. Zhang Yanyu's side is also full of flavors, she still disliked Xiahou Shuang at the beginning, thinking that this woman was not worthy of her son, but now Xiahou Shuang has become a country, and her son is still alone.
It was me who mistook my son, Mrs. Zhang secretly thought to herself, and now she no longer has any extravagant hopes, but only asks the spirit of the lord in the sky to bless Chong'er to marry back to Mrs. Yifang as she wishes.
After the palace banquet, Xiahou Shuang directly asked Zhang Yanchong to take Zhang Yanchong to Kunning Palace, and it is taboo for harem concubines to contact foreign men after all, but who makes His Majesty favor the current queen.
Xiahou Shuang was afraid that Xiao Xinrong would eat it, and had already told Zhang Yanyu about it, Xiao Xinrong promised to secretly let Zhang Hu wait in the palace, Xiahou Shuang couldn't smile bitterly at this, so he had to let him.
"See the queen mother, the mother is a thousand years old. ”
"Brother Zhang doesn't have to be polite, give a seat. ”
After Zhang Yanchong sat down, he lowered his head and didn't dare to look up.
Xiahou Shuang saw that his previous youth and frivolity had faded a lot, and he had matured a lot, so he bowed his head and remained silent, but he was a lot more restrained.
"Brother Zhang, you and I haven't seen each other for several years. "Time flies, with a flick of the fingers, but there are five or six years of time when you calculate it.
"The mother is still as bright as ever. ”
"Brother Zhang, there are no outsiders here today, so there is no need to be so formalistic between you and me. ”
Hearing this, Zhang Yanchong couldn't help but raise his head, Xiahou Shuang in front of him was dressed in regular clothes, with a gentle smile on his face.
"The minister doesn't dare to be, now the identity is different, the minister doesn't dare"
"Brother Zhang, you and I have a deep origin, you and I grew up with Sister Yu, you took care of me a lot when I was a child, and you even rushed into the fire to rescue me that year, for which you were seriously injured. ”
"I remember everything in my heart. ”
"These are all things that Wechen should do. Referring to the past, Zhang Yanchong also looked moved.
"Now that Sister Yu and I are married, have husbands, and give birth to children, only Brother Zhang is still alone, not to mention that Sister Yu and Aunt Zhang are anxious, even I feel anxious for Brother Zhang. ”
"A few days ago, Sister Yu was worried about you when she entered the palace, and it was indeed time for Brother Zhang to start a family. ”
"Thank you for your concern, I have asked my mother to find the right person for this matter. ”
Hearing Zhang Yanchong say this, Xiahou Shuang was overjoyed, and he didn't expect that Brother Zhang finally figured it out.
"Some time ago, I had been thinking about my father's hatred, and I couldn't take care of my mother's feelings, but now that the revenge has been avenged, I reconsidered my family affairs. ”
Speaking of this, Xiahou Shuang remembered that Chen Rui died at the hands of Brother Zhang, and it was not a pity for such a person to die, but it was a pity for Zhang Shangshu.
Xiahou Shuang saw that today's goal had been achieved, so he let Zhang Yanchong leave.
After Xiao Xinrong returned to the palace, he saw that Xiahou Shuang was in a happy mood and pretended to be jealous and said, "It seems that my queen and your eldest brother Zhang have a very happy conversation. ”
"Why did Your Majesty say this, could it be that today's Zhang Hu is not a decoration, presumably Your Majesty has already learned all the conversations between the concubine and Brother Zhang. ”
"You can't wronged Zhang Hu, he was tamed by the lady in the mansion Chun Chan and was loyal to the queen. ”
The two joked for a while before they got down to business again, "I have already written to the tile thorn, Fulin will be imprisoned in the capital, and there is no possibility of going back, if the tile thorn obediently signed a non-war contract, if he dares to have other thoughts, hum!"
Xiahou Shuang understood in her heart that Brother Chun was sprinkling all the qi on the Empress Dowager's body on Fulin alone.
"Now that there is peace inside and outside the DPRK, the people affected by the war have been well settled, although the treasury is not full, but it is not a problem to attack a small Tatar, Brother Chun should not worry too much. ”
Xiao Xinrong nodded: "I haven't taken it to heart yet, I just want to calm down inside and outside now, and when Sheng'er is older in a few years, I will pass on to him, and at that time, you and I will live a leisurely life of playing in the mountains and rivers." ”
"Listen to Brother Chun. The emperor and queen smiled when they met, and the future was promising.
Qing'er, who was eavesdropping on the conversation outside the hall, whispered to her brother: "Brother, my father wants you to succeed to the throne, and he is going to take the queen mother away." ”
The crown prince Xiao Yingzong tried his best to make a serious appearance, but he couldn't hide the sadness in his heart, and when he thought that his father and the queen mother were going to take his mother away from the palace, leaving him alone, he suddenly felt that life was boring.
Xiao Yingzong ignored the call of his younger brother behind him, and walked slowly towards his palace with a sad face, only thinking about how to dispel his father's thoughts.
On the second day, they heard the news of the prince's illness, the prince had always been in good health and rarely fell ill, and when they heard the news, the emperor and queen hurried to visit.
Looking at the prince lying motionless on the bed, Xiahou Shuang hurriedly asked the imperial doctor behind him to consult, who expected the prince to be alive or dead.
Helplessly, Xiahou Shuang had to support Xiao Xinrong, and asked the prince carefully to tell the truth, it turned out that he was not sick at all, but he just wanted to let his father dispel the idea of leaving with his mother, so he pretended to be sick.
Xiahou Shuang, who knew the cause and effect, couldn't cry or laugh, and the result of the prince was that he was squeezed more ruthlessly by Xiao Xinrong later, and the prince who wanted to cry without tears didn't dare to have other thoughts.
Now his mind is full of thoughts, so that he can grow up quickly, let his father leave the palace as soon as possible, and let himself escape his clutches.
