Peach Blossom Song

The banquet is held in the Linde Hall, which is located beside the Taiye Pool. The hall is magnificent and the scenery is beautiful.

Even in this bleak winter day, red plums are planted all over the palace, the red plums are shaded, the faint fragrance is faint, and with the white snow as the curtain, it makes people not feel cold and cold, but full of warmth.

When the King of Han and his concubine came here, she suddenly stopped under a tree, stretched out her hand and broke off the plum blossom that was closest to her.

The concubine took two steps forward and found that the person beside her was behind her, so she turned her head to look for her. When she turned her head, she saw the king of Han holding a red plum and bringing it to her with a smile.

"Is it good?" she asked.

The princess smiled sweetly, and raised her hand to take it: "It's beautiful."

That branch of red plum is even more beautiful in her firm and jade-like hands.The King of Han smiled like a cat picking up small dried fish, with joy overflowing on his face.

The two were loving each other when they heard a laughing voice from the steps of the main hall: "Brother Wang and Sister Wang are so loving."

The princess turned her eyes and saw Prince Teng slowly stepping down the stairs.

The King of Han subconsciously took half a step forward, blocked the princess behind, and said with his head sideways: "Brother Teng came early."

Her expression was quite gentle, and her resignation was also with a smile, but the princess felt that His Highness's body was a little stiff. With her left hand hanging by her side, the ball of her thumb rubbed against the side of her index finger irritably, appearing very anxious.

But King Teng came casually, with a half-smile on his face: "Brother is lonely and only knows how to walk on the road, so it's not as good as brother Wang's beautiful shadow accompanying him, the scenery along the way is beautiful."

"Brother Teng, why should you envy me? The next spring will be the time for the bride to pass through the door. Today's scenery will not be in time. Luoyang will be full of flowers. Brother Teng, you are proud of the spring breeze."

The King of Han spoke eloquently, which is rare.Standing behind her, the concubine always felt that His Highness looked like a cat whose fur had exploded, his ears were pricked up higher than usual, and his whole body was full of defense.

King Teng sighed in admiration: "Everyone says that His Highness the King of Han is reticent. I'm afraid I've never seen Brother Wang being so quick-spoken and able to handle things with ease."

The concubine glanced at the vermilion sachet on King Teng's waist, and a look of surprise flashed in her eyes. She quietly took the little finger of King Han's left hand and touched it gently. The king of Han was about to speak with a serious expression, when the concubine suddenly hinted at her. , she tilted her head to look over, and saw that the concubine shook her head invisibly, and the King of Han said to King Teng, "It's cold here, so I'll go in now, and my brother will also stay for a long time."

After finishing speaking, he stepped up the palace steps and went to the palace.

Entering the hall, a brazier was lit in the hall, and the grand hall was also smoky like a spring day.

The palace servants came forward and took off their cloaks and cloaks to serve the King and Princess of Han.

The concubine was about to ask her if she had any trouble with King Teng, so the King of Han took the initiative to say: "Prince Teng always bullied me in the past."

After she finished speaking, the corners of her mouth drooped: "I'm small, and I was favored by the late emperor for a few days. Prince Teng was dull when he was young, and the late emperor didn't like him very much, but he grew worse and worse, and always came to bully me."

At that time, she was frightened by her mother's words about mountain spirits and ghosts. She was timid and dared not speak out in front of others. King Teng was sure that she would not sue, and always pushed and satirized her when she placed orders.

Being favored and then falling out of favor is worse than being out of favor all the time.The concubine can vaguely piece together the situation of His Highness in the palace when he was young. The late emperor loved her for a few days, but then he was left out in the cold. Seeing that she is honest, she always comes to bully her.

His Highness is not tall now, and he doesn't look too big when he wears clothes and crowns, but at night, when he wears only middle clothes except shoes and socks, he looks very small, very cute.

When the princess thought about it, her heart softened. Fortunately, it was not too late for them to meet, and she was able to protect His Highness.

The concubine comforted: "Now he doesn't dare to bully His Highness."

The king of Han didn't know what the princess was thinking. She nodded and bent her lips again. The loneliness and grievance just now were swept away on her face. Her small body was straight and full of fighting spirit: "If he bullies me again, I will I won't be bullied by him anymore, I still want to protect you, so I have to be tougher."

If one's own attitude is tough, others will feel jealous, the King of Han understands very well.

She was full of fighting spirit, and after she finished speaking, she looked at the princess resolutely, and said seriously: "Don't be afraid."

The royal family members, even if they are idle, there will always be such and such things coming to the door, which is very annoying.In the past, the king of Han hid, but now that she has a concubine, she doesn't hide all the time. Someone has to do things. If she doesn't do it, the concubine will do it for her. She has to take some responsibility.

The princess smiled lightly: "With Your Highness here, how could I be afraid?"

The king of Han was encouraged, he straightened his body even more, and he was in good spirits all night long.

There are not many relatives with the Yan family this time, except for Zheng Wang and his wife, Huai Wang and his wife, and Chengyang Wang and his wife, they are Hanwang Concubine Han and Teng Wang.

The imperial husband is still in a coma and cannot attend the banquet, so His Majesty is alone.

Everyone knew that His Majesty was worried about the emperor's husband, and they were afraid that he had no intention of having a banquet, so they only watched songs and dances at the banquet, except for the birthday celebration at the beginning, no one went to toast with His Majesty alone.

Still the emperor, seeing the scene is really deserted, unlike the New Year's appearance, he took the initiative to talk to everyone.As soon as she opened her mouth, how dare the princes not talk to each other, and the words became even more enthusiastic.

When the Xiao family reached His Majesty's generation, the number of heirs was very scattered, not counting the rebellious kings, and there was not even a nephew in Beijing.

The emperor was holding the wine cup, with a smile in his eyes, and looked over leisurely: "Balang is also regarded as the father, don't hurry up, be careful of the Ming Dynasty, brother Teng will rush ahead of you."

The emperor was born graceful and charming, and the aura of being in a high position for a long time was integrated with her own temperament, which made her appearance pure and gentle, and added with the burning beauty. Her gestures made people unable to look away, and dared not face her directly. See.

She drank by herself, and occasionally said something, and the clan and relatives all got along with each other, and they joked about the King of Han together.

Such jokes, thin-skinned teenagers are always shy.

The king of Han was blushing, not knowing how to respond, he was still the emperor, seeing how ashamed she was, he started talking about something else.

With just this teasing, the atmosphere in the hall became much brighter.Silk and bamboo accompanied by singing and dancing, the candlelight reflected the fine wine, the kings carried pots and cups, toasted each other, and the princesses whispered to each other, laughing endlessly.

Until the moon was in the middle of the sky, the banquet was dispersed, and everyone stepped out of Linde, let the cold wind blow on their faces, but felt lonely and empty.

Everyone was going to the palace gate, and they walked together along the way.

Walking outside the gate of the palace, the chariots of the various mansions were already waiting, and the kings said goodbye to each other, and then boarded their chariots and left.

There was snow on the road, and the wheels rolled over, making a crackling sound. King Teng sat in the car, and when the car was running smoothly, he lowered his head, carefully took off the sachet at his waist, and put it in the palm of his hand.

The sachet moved once in his palm, and then moved again. King Teng looked at it with bated breath, hiding the fear in his eyes. In addition to the fear, there was also an indescribable expectation.

After a while, the mouth of the sachet opened, and a small green snake crawled out from inside, winding its body around the sachet.

King Teng swallowed his saliva, his expression was very respectful, and when the one-fingered little green snake stopped moving, Fang Yu asked flatteringly: "Shangxian, can you see clearly? There really is an emperor on Xiao Yuan's body." spirit?"

The green snake raised its triangular head, glanced coldly at King Teng, and nodded.

King Teng's face instantly distorted, mixed with jealousy, disgust and unwillingness: "He...why?"

"Destiny." The green snake lazily said, after finishing speaking, it glanced at King Teng again, and said, "This is not a good thing, why are you jealous of him?"

King Teng was jealous of the King of Han since he was a child, but he never showed it, and no one pointed it out. Hearing the green snake's false accusation, King Teng seemed to be insulted, his eyes were red with anger, and he was not happy. If you dare to be presumptuous in front of the green snake, you can only bear it by force.

"Shangxian doesn't know something, my brother Wang, none of them are outstanding, but he is lucky, and he can be the first in everything." Teng Wang said lightly, full of disdain.

But the green snake smiled: "His luck is not good." After a pause, he said, "However, if you want to say good, it is indeed good."

When King Teng heard the first half of the sentence, he was overjoyed at first, but when the green snake uttered the second half, he was extremely angry again.

Seeing his stupid appearance, the green snake turned its head slowly, as if it couldn't bear to look directly at him, after a few breaths, it happily said: "For the sake of your respect these few days, let me point you out, The King of Han must not be his enemy."

King Teng originally intended to use the green snake to deal with the King of Han, but who knew it would say this, he dared not believe it: "Could it be that the Shangxian is afraid of a mortal?"

The green snake moved its body, as if stretched, and said briskly: "I should go."

King Teng paled in shock, he immediately ignored others, and hurriedly said, "Why did Shangxian leave? Could it be that I didn't take good care of him, which caused Shangxian to be neglected?"

Green Snake shook his head, looked at her solemnly, shook his head slowly, sighed, and said earnestly: "You are too stupid, I'm afraid of being hurt by you."

It fought with other monsters, its cultivation was damaged, and it had to recuperate. It just happened to meet King Teng, who was so courteous and respectful, so it came too. Who knew that King Teng looked smart, but he was really stupid.It's so sad, the cave has been robbed by other monsters, it can't live there, and it can't stay here for a long time, it has to drag its disabled body to find another place.It's tough.

Green Snake's words came suddenly, and before King Teng could understand, he was about to ask again, when he saw Green Snake dodge and disappear.King Teng stared blankly, his face ashen.However, after a while, King Teng was stunned for a moment, as if waking up from a dream, he saw himself holding a sachet and staring blankly, he blinked for no reason, and when he noticed that there was still wet mucus on the sachet, King Teng frowned and shook it off in disgust.

How could he allow such unclean things to come close?King Teng thought back carefully, but couldn't remember what he was doing just now.
