bright sheath

Qinghe was taken to the harem by the eldest princess in the afternoon, while Chen Yunyu and Ling Yanchi stayed at the princess mansion until [-]:[-] pm before leaving.

Before leaving, he took off a small black cap from the passing servant's head and put it on Ling Yanchi's head. It looked okay from the front, but the long hair at the back was a bit of an eyesore, so he said to him: "Turn around, I'll put it on for you." Pull this hair in."

Ling Yanchi turned around obediently.

Chen Yunyu threw the cap to him, grabbed the black hair, and felt that it was cold and slippery, so she joked: "If you have no source of income in the future, you can write down your daily diet and teach those officials' ladies how to grow their hair." , Custodian day Jindoujin."

"You have reminded me that I spend money all day long and have no income. I really need to figure out how to get rich..." He couldn't help shaking his head.

"Be honest, don't move around, it just fell apart after it was tied!" Chen Yunyu pulled a strand of hair on the top of his head impatiently, and said casually, "Why worry, I'm here, can you starve to death?"

"Okay! I'll just wait for your words!" Ling Yanchi slapped his thigh excitedly.

"...Why don't you go sell your art."

"No, no, I'm far away in the capital, so I can't lose face to the crown prince." He waved his hands straight in front of him.

"My family is in Liaodong, what are you afraid of if you lose face in the capital..." Chen Yunyu patted his shoulder and said, "Okay, turn around and let me have a look..."

Ling Yanchi looked smug, and opened his hands slightly for him to look at.

Chen Yunyu squeezed her chin and nodded, "Except for the fact that you don't look like a servant, everything else is fine. Just keep your head down when you get in."

"It's all up to the prince." After finishing speaking, he handed him the gold-plated folding fan in his hand.Chen Yunyu took it and showed it casually, smiled slightly, with an incomparable demeanor, and the two left the princess mansion.

Entering the Imperial City from Xi'an Gate, passing through the magnificent palace road, crossing the Jinhai Bridge, the military battle, and then arriving at the palace through the Xishang Gate. Unhurriedly following behind a few people, slowly followed the flow of people into the front of Fengtian Hall.

At this time, many ministers of civil and military affairs gathered in the open space under the imperial steps outside the palace, and they all exchanged greetings.

"Oh, Mr. Zhang, I haven't seen you for a long time. I think you are much rounder. Could it be that I remembered wrongly. Didn't your lord take a rest?" The official was dressed in a crimson uniform, wearing a black gauze hat, with a patch pattern on his chest. It's a peacock, a third-rank civil servant, who seems to be over forty years old, with only a pair of bright eyes, and he can't wait to see through people when he speaks.

"My lord Wang doesn't know, the doctor said I'm not fat, but edema!" This lord looks upright, his words are full of worries about his illness, he is younger, less than forty, and he usually wears a chest mask. Buzi is a cloud goose, which is a fourth grade.

This Master Wang quickly leaned into his ear and said: "Oh, I heard that the edema may be due to the obstruction of the kidney meridian. Master Zhang should be more restrained in the future!"

In broad daylight, you actually said that a man in his 30s had bad kidneys?

Ling Yanchi had a toothache, pulled Chen Yunyu's clothes from behind, and said in a low voice, "Are all the officials here so lively?"

Chen Yunyu nodded slowly, and said, "It's not unreasonable for a senior official to crush someone to death. Did you see that idiot Wen Xuan mentioned?"

Seeing that Shizi's attention was a bit crooked, he couldn't say much, so he quickly glanced at the people around him, and said, "Look to the south, the one who is staring at Lord Wang with a shameless face in front of the jade pillar, right? "

"..." Chen Yunyu turned her face in a different direction, and she saw a cynical young man whose eyes almost burned a hole in Lord Wang's uniform.

Chen Yunyu finally understood Qi Wenxuan's feelings a little bit. Based on this point of view, he might lose his head one day, so he took a few steps forward, blocking his line of sight while smiling at him. Although Jiang Feng has a straight personality Some, but the basic etiquette is still there, glanced at the jade around his waist, recognized his identity, and when he saw that he was speechless, he bowed his hands to him as a greeting.

Soon a group of people from the Jiaofang Division came, holding various musical instruments in their arms, or wearing gorgeous dance clothes, standing and waiting quietly, followed by those who were drinking and eating, and the imperial seats were arranged in Fengtian Hall The people from Shangbao Division and Huang Hui have slowly walked out... It turns out that the time has come, it is already Xushi, but the emperor himself, the protagonist of this banquet, has not arrived yet, and everyone in the Etiquette Division who is waiting for the announcement is sweating After a while, a eunuch hurried over and shouted loudly: "The emperor is here..."

After everyone shouted long live, the steward of the Etiquette Department continued: "The emperor is respectfully invited to ascend his seat..."

Soon a bright yellow figure came out with a beautiful woman. This Emperor Chen Jing looked only in his early thirties, with neither majesty nor kindness on his face, he casually greeted the kneeling officials. With a glance, she took her eyes back, showing a lack of interest. Immediately, the ceremony and music sounded, and Chen Yunyu suddenly wanted to turn her head to look at Ling Yanchi, but she was still kneeling, so she stretched out her hand to poke behind her. Seeing this hand, Chi was a little puzzled, grabbed his hand, and wrote in the palm of his hand, "What's the matter?"

Chen Yunyu just squeezed his fingertips.

Is this because you are afraid of being nervous?Ling Yanchi's heart warmed, he patted his hand lightly, and then took it back.

The emperor took his seat, the crown prince and prince stood up and entered the hall, followed by civil and military officials, who sat down according to their ranks, and the banquet began.There are many red tapes in royal banquets. Guanglu Temple toasts Emperor Jing and soup, the preface class toasts the courtiers, and the priest kneels to play ritual music, and all civil and military officials have to kneel to listen. Ban also took the cups for the courtiers, and at this moment he was happy, the courtiers thanked him, and wished the emperor a long life, and after some polite words, Ban served the dishes.

Chen Yunyu was at the head of King Jin, followed by King Qi, the fifth prince, the second prince, and the prince. The main seats were Emperor Jing and Concubine Duan, and on the opposite side were a group of ministers. After a few people, Chen Yunyu finally saw him again. A cousin, looks like a first-class one, but I don't know why, when looking at people, he always likes to look away, always seems to be afraid of something, but the second prince is very generous, and he behaves politely, He treats people kindly, and it is said that sometimes he would nod his head when he meets an eunuch, so he has a good reputation in the court.

In fact, Emperor Jing didn't have many heirs. Over the years, he had only five princes, and only three grew up safely. The third prince and the fourth prince were a pair of twins. When they were one year old, they suddenly fell ill. Yes, and the fifth prince is only six years old this year, and his mother and concubine are not of high rank. It is said that she is just the daughter of a county magistrate. When he was still a prince today, he went on a tour and fell in love with him for some reason, but he didn’t enjoy it for a few years after he was brought into the palace. Fu, it disappeared after giving birth to the fifth prince. This child is innocent and young, and he is more favored by Emperor Jing than the above two.

After drinking for three rounds, it is said that it is a birthday banquet, so the gift offering must be indispensable. I saw the cowardly prince glanced left and right before walking to his highness. The queen mother didn't feel tears, but she felt that she had a great responsibility for her whole body. Every time she picked up the pen and found it, she put it down again. Today is my father's birthday, I specially made a painting to present to my father, wishing my father and queen mother a long life, although my son can't wait around for a long time, it is enough to have a painting instead..." After finishing speaking, he held up the painting on the ground, I can't get up for a long time, and all the ministers are sympathetic.

The painting was taken over by the eunuch and presented to the emperor. The name of the painting is "Young Son's Literacy Picture". It is a carved window, and a few bunches of green bamboos are outlined with a few strokes beside the window. Due to the distance, everyone can't see it clearly. With a wave, he signaled that the painting should be passed on to everyone for reading, but he himself actually went down and helped the prince up, although his expression was still indifferent, but everyone saw his moving face.

Now everyone can see clearly that there are three people in the carved window. The young prince's left foot is still wrapped in a white cloth, and there is a child standing on tiptoe beside the man's foot in the middle, and the person sitting in front of the case The man was dressed in a dragon robe, and he was obviously the Emperor Jing in the early years. He held the crown prince in one hand, wrapped the other around the child's shoulder, and held a book in his hand. The three of them were staring at the book intently. There is light smoke curling up from the hollow incense burner...

It is not surprising that the crown prince would present such a painting to Chen Yunyu, including what he said just now, every sentence comes from the bottom of his heart. This person has been honest and loyal since he was a child. It was broken when climbing a tree to hide cats that year, and now that it is grown up, I still don’t forget to bring his evil brother with him in the picture to celebrate his birthday...

But Chen Yunyu also knew that the prince had already won the competition between the prince and the second prince for this night alone. He had filial piety in his heart, the common people, siblings, and benevolence.

Emperor Jing patted his elder son's shoulder heavily, without saying a word, and soon sat on the throne, but the complexion of Concubine Duan next to him was a bit dark, and the prince took one mother and one empress. This is not her, but the harem The queen in charge of Fengyin said that she was unable to attend the banquet due to the cold.And she is just the second prince's biological mother.

The second prince's congratulatory gift was much simpler. He was not a fool. He knew he had lost after the prince made a move. After presenting all the treasures, he sat down honestly. The days were still long, so he was not in a hurry.

Soon it was Chen Yunyu's turn. His congratulatory gift was probably the most humble among the many royal relatives. There were no rare treasures, and no ink paintings. What he brought were a few ledgers, which fully recorded many events in the past three years in Liaodong. , Silver payment, military deployment, etc., are very transparent.

Emperor Chen Jing flipped through the books casually, put the account book down, and asked, "What's wrong with King Liao's body, why are you here alone this year?"

"On behalf of my father, I thank the emperor for his concern. My father often feels chest tightness and weakness and his eyes are dark recently. He really can't travel far. I have to go to Beijing on behalf of my father." This is nonsense, he and Ling Yanchi both know His father can beat a tiger to death now.

Emperor Jing nodded and said casually: "Things at the border are busy, but you must also pay attention to your health. After all, everything on the border of Liaodong depends on the King of Liao..."

Chen Yunyu was startled, and then knelt down and said: "The Liao Palace dare not exaggerate, the guards guarding the borders are all seen by all, and the generals who have defended the enemy many times are all responsible for their command."

Emperor Jing flipped through the ledger twice more, sighed and said with a smile: "Why are you so nervous, I didn't say anything, you are not as cute as a child..."

"...The minister is guilty."

Emperor Jing waved him back to his seat.

Ling Yanchi's hands on both sides tightened, loosened and tightened again, until Chen Yunyu came back, his palms were still damp.To be honest, this Emperor Jing made him a little disappointed. He thought that Emperor Da Chen was so shrewd, but he was just a person who valued personal feelings and did not distinguish between serious and serious.

First of all, since the prince is already a prince, he will be the emperor in the future. For good virtues such as filial piety, security, and benevolence, he should be properly commended. Giving him face is ultimately for himself, because he chose the prince , This is not only to establish prestige for the prince, but also for himself; secondly, no matter what dynasty, the dispute between the princes will not be settled until he is enthroned. This group of people made too much noise and affected the government. Although the effect was minimal, it was better than nothing. Finally, regarding the vassal king represented by Chen Yunyu, Ling Yanchi thought he was going to beat and beat in the first two sentences, but it turned out that this person's final foothold But he thinks Chen Yunyu is boring... It's no wonder that Zhou Shimou's plan succeeded so quickly...

The birthday banquet was long, and after the group of people presented their gifts, all kinds of delicacies were almost eaten, and soon there were beautiful palace maids filing into the light and dancing. Emperor Jing squinted at these beauties from above, and from time to time He even whispered a few words to Concubine Duan at the side.

Ling Yanchi couldn't bear it anymore, and finally wrote four words on Chen Yunyu's palm: It's really a straw bag.

Chen Yunyu was feeling drowsy, and now she regained some energy, and suddenly burst out laughing.

But it was this smile that caused a problem.

The author has something to say:

Ayu's tenderness is hidden in her gestures.

And I deleted the number of the previous chapters, so that it comes directly to the title, which is more concise, not to change the full text.
