After coming down the mountain, I was pampered by two emperors!
Chapter 17 The Emperor's Banquet
Early the next morning, King Kang hurried to Concubine Xue's Yuchen Palace. After being reported by the maid, he entered Concubine Xue's palace.
"Old minister, please see Concubine Xue." King Kang saluted.
"Father, you don't have to pay such a big courtesy. Is there anything important that you came to see me in such a hurry today?" Concubine Xue asked doubtfully.
"Yes. Has the emperor treated you the same as before recently?" King Kang asked.
"Your Majesty treats me as before, why do you ask such questions?" Concubine Xue asked in confusion.
"That's good. You must keep an eye on the emperor. Don't let the queen get close to him, lest she make suggestions to the emperor again." King Kang said.
"Hey, I thought it was something important. That's it. Father, please relax. I won't let the queen regain her grace." He said with a smile, picked up the teapot and poured a cup for Prince Kang. Tea.
Then, King Kang winked at Concubine Xue, and Concubine Xue reacted immediately.
"You all should step back first. If I don't tell you, don't come in. My father and I haven't seen each other for many days, and we have a lot to say. You don't need to wait here." Concubine Xue immediately sent the maids to retreat.
"If you have anything to say, just say it, Prince Kang. There is no one else now. If you have anything to say, just say it." At this time, Concubine Xue was no longer as gentle and virtuous as before. Instead, she said to Prince Kang in a sharp tone.
At this time, King Kang was no longer as loving as an old father and said to Concubine Xue:
"Don't forget the purpose of your coming here. It was the Imperial Master who sent you to be my assistant. I sent you to the palace in the name of my daughter to make you my eyes and ears in front of the emperor. You are here to enjoy the glory and wealth, and you must not forget what the Imperial Master told you." King Kang stood up and said to Concubine Xue.
"Of course I haven't forgotten. I have seen every move of the emperor. I have revealed a lot of information to you in the past few years, and I have done countless things for you. But I think this emperor I don't do much about state affairs all day long, and you have the full power to do it for me, so what else do you want? Even if I enjoy this glory and wealth, it's natural for me to do so." Concubine Xue said sternly.
"Okay, okay, I won't tell you this for now. You have to help me with something for now." King Kang said in a low voice.
"What's the matter?" Concubine Xue asked.
"Go and tell the emperor that you want to give a banquet to King Jingyang and the princess. I want to meet this princess." Prince Kang whispered in Concubine Xue's ear.
"That's it?" Concubine Xue asked.
"You come up with an idea and I'll wait for your news." King Kang said and sat back on the chair to continue drinking tea.
"I heard that the princess of King Jingyang is a stunning beauty. It seems that the young prince is also obsessed with her and is lovesick, right?" Concubine Xue asked deliberately with a smirk.
At this time, King Kang's face was solemn, and he seemed to be thinking about something.
"Okay, I will go see the emperor tonight and tell him, in what name can I use it?" Concubine Xue thought for a while and said.
"Yes, let's just say that the Emperor and Prince Kang were unable to attend the wedding of King Jingyang due to busy business. The day after tomorrow is a day when everything will be auspicious, so let's invite them and the couple to the palace for a banquet as a token of congratulations." Concubine Xue continued.
"Okay, then it's settled." After saying that, King Kang stood up and walked out of Yuchen Palace.
"This Prince Kang makes a fuss about everything." As she spoke, Concubine Xue fiddled with her bun in the mirror from time to time.
"Here comes someone," he said, and two little maids came in from the door.
"Get ready to shower and change clothes. I'm going to see the emperor in the afternoon."
"Yes, Your Majesty," the maid replied.
In the evening, when the emperor was having his meal, Eunuch Wei came in from outside.
"Your Majesty, Concubine Xue is here." Eunuch Wei said in a high-pitched voice.
"She came just in time, let her come in." The emperor said.
"My concubine pays homage to the Emperor." After saying this, he bowed and looked up at the Emperor.
"My dear concubine, you have come at the right time. Would you like to have dinner with me?" The emperor helped Concubine Xue up and brought her to the table.
After talking and laughing for a few times, Concubine Xue got back to business.
"Your Majesty, I heard the maids in the palace talking about it, saying that King Jingyang recently married a very talented and beautiful princess. Logically speaking, this prince's wedding should be a marriage granted by you, the emperor. I didn't expect it. King Jingyang makes the decision for himself." Concubine Xue said sarcastically.
"My concubine, what you said is wrong. You don't know that the prince was ill before, so he never had the idea of marrying a wife. Naturally, I didn't grant him a marriage. He also informed me before the wedding that day, and everything was the same. It was done according to etiquette, so you chose the wrong place."
The emperor gently scratched Concubine Xue's nose with his hand and said dotingly.
"The emperor's words are serious, how could I mean this? It's just that the wedding has been more than two months ago, and your majesty has not invited King Jingyang and the princess to a banquet to show the emperor's grace, right?" Concubine Xue explained hurriedly.
"Well, it's true that I was negligent. Now King Jingyang can be regarded as my right-hand man. Today is different from the past, so I should hold a banquet to entertain him and his wife." He held Concubine Xue in his arms.
"My beloved concubine is still thoughtful!" The emperor burst into laughter.
"By the way, Your Majesty, my concubine's father was not in Kyoto on the day of the wedding, so he was unable to attend their wedding. How about inviting my father to accompany him this time?" asked Concubine Xue.
"Okay, why not? I also hope that the two of them can communicate more and enhance their relationship. Since they are officials in the same court, wouldn't it be a good thing to serve in the court together?" the emperor agreed.
"Eunuch Wei"
The emperor summoned Manager Wei to come forward and said, "Go and convey my instructions. I will host a banquet at Yuchen Palace the day after tomorrow in honor of King Jingyang and his concubine. By the way, King Kang will accompany them."
"Yes," Manager Wei hurriedly stepped forward and replied.
In the evening of the next day, Mei Xichen and Shangguan Qing came to Yuchen Palace as scheduled. As soon as they entered the backyard of Yuchen Palace, Shangguan Qing felt a demonic aura coming towards his face.
"How come there is evil spirit in this harem?" Shangguan Qing thought to himself.
"What are you thinking about?" Mei Xichen asked.
"No, it's nothing." Shangguan Qing hesitated.
After entering the backyard, the two of them came to the main hall of Yuchen Palace, where they saw that the emperor and King Kang had been waiting here for a long time.
King Kang glanced at it and saw this woman walking from a distance. She had a slender figure, an oval face, and a leisurely expression. She was indescribably soft and delicate in her bones. She was dressed in a goose-yellow robe, which complemented the lights of the hall and was dazzling.
King Kang sighed and thought to himself: "What a beautiful lady who has conquered the country, no wonder my son..." He couldn't help but feel sad in his heart.
At this time, the emperor and King Kang were in similar mental states. Just like the expression on King Zhou's face when he saw Daji for the first time, the expression on the old emperor's face was the same.
Concubine Xue coughed upon seeing this, and the emperor recovered from his previous gaffe.
"Old minister, please see Concubine Xue." King Kang saluted.
"Father, you don't have to pay such a big courtesy. Is there anything important that you came to see me in such a hurry today?" Concubine Xue asked doubtfully.
"Yes. Has the emperor treated you the same as before recently?" King Kang asked.
