Except for the clean place of Shanglin Garden, the palace is very lively everywhere. The Empress Dowager ordered all relatives and ministers to wait in Changle Palace, and Wu Yong and Chu Su had to rush there as soon as possible.

On the way, Wu Yong seemed hesitant to speak, while Chu Su walked calmly.

The two remained silent, and Chu Su asked abruptly, "Is there anything Eunuch Wu wants to ask?"

Wu Yong hesitated for a while and asked, "Master Chu, did Your Majesty cause you trouble?"

Chu Su's footsteps stopped, his expression didn't change, and he said calmly: "It has always been only the courtiers who cause trouble to the emperor. There is no reason to do the opposite."

Wu Yong nodded, fortunately Tuoba Si was not here, if he was, at least he would have to be kicked, Wu Yong thought for a while and then asked: "Although the servant thinks it is not very polite, but Master Chu, you can feel His Majesty's respect for you." Do you mind?"

How could Chu Su not feel it, Tuobasi's fiery eyes, the endless gifts, the considerate care, he is not a fool, even if he is a fool, how can he not know whether others treat him well?

"Your Majesty has treated me very well."

Wu Yong laughed and said: "Your servant can see it too. Your Majesty has never cared so much about a person. Even the servant sometimes sighs. This world is really one thing and one thing."

Chu Su said helplessly: "Your Majesty's feelings are not something that I, a courtier, can imagine. I hope your Majesty can understand it soon."

Wu Yong stuck out his tongue. He dared not tell Tuobasi this sentence even if he was killed. Although Tuobasi lost his temper, he didn't dare to make a mistake in front of Empress Dowager Feng. If he entered the Changle Palace alone, he might Be spotted.

Tuoba Si stood in front of the main hall, still holding the brocade box in his hand, his eyes unconsciously looked towards the gate, thinking that Chu Su couldn't even come to the queen mother's big banquet.

Chu Su was actually very close to Tuobasi, but just arrived in front of Changle Palace, he noticed something unusual. There were some vague footprints on the palace wall outside Changle Palace. If someone climbed the wall, I am afraid that this person It wouldn't be those dandy family sons, in front of the empress dowager's palace, they wouldn't be so rude in domineering, Chu Su didn't stop walking, and heard the crisp sound of metal colliding on the other side of the palace wall, which disappeared in just a moment Clean and tidy, this is extraordinary. Except for the Habayashi Army who can hold knives in the palace, ordinary officials and nobles will be inspected when they enter the palace. Not to mention weapons that can hurt people, even ordinary iron weapons. Items are almost never allowed to be brought in.

Chu Su walked silently. Wu Yong must have heard the crisp sound just now. He lowered his head and showed no doubts. Chu Su secretly speculated and walked a few steps forward. There were footprints, and when Chu Su raised his head, even if it was only for a moment, he could clearly see a figure, which was definitely not from the Yulin Army, and it was even less likely to be the figure of any noble family.

Chu Su walked into Changle Palace in three or two steps, and saw Tuoba Si waiting at the door at first glance, Chu Su did not pay attention to Tuoba Si, turned his head slightly to Changle Palace and Guang, there were always trees planted by the wall, It happened to block all of Chu Su's sight, and when it was sunset again, if I didn't go in and check, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to see what happened.

Chu Su could only conclude that there must be people hiding behind that row of trees, but he also concluded that these people must not be assassins. Whose assassins are so easy to expose their traces? Plan, it is certain that this person must be Tuoba'an at the moment, and it is arranged to test the general's response ability.

Chu Su was a little surprised, if these people arranged to attack the Empress Dowager and Tuobasi, wouldn't Tuoba'an be afraid of ruining today's banquet, but thinking that Empress Dowager Feng must have known about it, she was naturally fully prepared.

Chu Su closed his inquiring eyes, and just as he stepped forward, he heard a familiar voice: "Why is brother Tuoba standing at the door? You won't be waiting for Chu Su, are you?"

Lu Mengxie grabbed Tuobasi's arm and looked at Chu Su with a hint of hostility in his eyes. Only now did Chu Su understand that Lu Mengxie's thoughts towards Tuobasi were not so pure, Chu Su said lightly. He smiled, but he didn't realize that the smile was hidden for a moment.

Tuoba Si didn't stop Lu Mengxio from grabbing him and showing an intimacy. At Lu Mengxie's sixteen or seventeen years old, since his mother's empress was distressed and didn't want to marry him, how could Tuoba Si not know, I'm afraid Her mother's favorite harem lord is Lu Mengxie, who has a personality three points similar to her own.

Seeing that Chu Su didn't respond, Tuobasi frowned and replied, "I'm just waiting for Chu Su, otherwise why do you think I'm standing outside?"

Tuoba Si showed a cold look and said: "Why did you come, come in with me."

Chu Su didn't even have to bend slightly to salute in front of the two of them. As soon as Tuoba Si turned around, he followed him in. Wu Yong walked forward and said with a smile: "Miss Cymbidium, I heard that Master Lu is resting in the side hall. , and invite the girl and the slaves to meet the road together and look like the Lord as a main hall."

Lu Mengxiu pointed at Wu Yong with a smile and said, "As expected, the chief eunuch in the palace is so well-informed. Since Father is here, I won't bother Brother Tuoba."

Lu Mengxiu finally let go of her hand, heaved a sigh of relief in her heart, and hurriedly followed Wu Yong to leave. For some reason, Tuoba Si saw a little eagerness, and Tuoba Si walked silently with the brocade box in her arms, and followed behind with a pause. Chu Su stopped immediately.

Chu Su asked, "What's wrong?"

Tuoba Si turned around and pretended to be vicious, and said: "I just remembered, the draft will be the next day, you are the one who started it, you are like a normal person, you are so bad!" Tuoba Si wanted to say something serious, but he didn't Seeing Chu Su's helpless face, with some gloating smiles in his eyes, he really forgot how to say serious things.

Chu Su was indeed smiling, and he really did his best to hold the draft. Even someone like Tuoba Si, who knows how to pick bones in an egg, couldn't find a single fault. This also made Tuoba Si very annoyed. If you can't refuse, you can't. Isn't this killing him?

"Laugh, you will regret it one day." Tuoba Si said this, he originally thought that the matter of whether to choose a girl or not, in the end, it was up to him, the emperor, to decide, but Tuoba Si didn't think of it now , The last regret is him.

When the two walked in, the Empress Dowager had already sat on the main seat. In the main hall, the ministers and their families had already sat down. Only a very small number of people had not yet arrived. Tuoba Si followed up and kowtowed: "The son visited his mother, and wished her a happy life and a healthy smile. Today, he boldly begged the mother to give him some auspicious gifts, so that his son would also be happy."

Empress Dowager Feng smiled and raised her hand and said, "Get up, the emperor has a sweet mouth." Empress Dowager Feng waved her hand, and saw the eunuch carrying a huge birthday peach in. Will tell the emperor what this thing means."

Chu Su also bowed and prostrated, attracting many people's eyes to him for a while: "I wish the empress dowager, Shou Kao Wei Qi, a great virtue, a civilized and proper way to enjoy a high age."

Empress Dowager Feng stood up in person, came to the center of the hall to support Chu Su and said: "Ministers, the Rong Ai family will introduce to you, this is Chu Su, the nephew of the Ai family."

There were many ministers from the former Qin Dynasty in the court. After hearing what Empress Dowager Feng said, and after carefully looking at Chu Su's face, they exclaimed from time to time: "Chu Su's face really looks like General Chu Yuan."

"That's right, he must be Chu Yuan's son."

Chu Su's face was indifferent, and he was indifferent to those scrutinizing eyes.The positions of Tuoba Si and Chu Su are connected, Chu Su sat on it, and there was another exclamation from below, even Tuoba An, the most powerful Taifu in the court, was not qualified to sit beside the emperor, and some ministers instantly Set Chu Su as the target of wooing.

Waiting for Prime Minister Lu to come in slowly, the queen mother waved her hand and said, "Let's start the banquet." In actual royal banquets, eating is not the main thing, the most important thing is the process of presenting gifts to the queen mother afterwards. It is really a technical job to prepare a birthday gift for the queen mother. To impress the Empress Dowager, but not be too precious, the most important thing is that things must not be more important than His Majesty's wishes.

How many people are looking forward to the chance of being promoted, so hastily used the banquet, and Tuobasi has become the object of all attention. He must be the first one to present gifts. Compared with Tuobasi, the gifts of ministers are also an important one. link.

Holding the brocade box, Tuoba Si smiled shyly and said: "There are countless rare treasures in the mother's harem, and the son of gold and jade treasures feels very vulgar, so he personally made this peace knot and enshrined it in the White Horse Temple For a long time, this is the wish of the son, and please let the queen accept it."

Empress Dowager Feng touched Tuobasi's forehead lovingly and said: "Okay, the emperor is becoming more and more filial now, this gift is the most heartfelt."

Ordinarily, Prime Minister Lu or Taifu Tuoba would offer gifts next, and at worst, people with the status of Dukes of the county kingdom should offer gifts, but none of these people in the palace made any movement. Come to understand, Empress Dowager Feng is raising his identity above the real Sangong.

Chu Su got up and bowed to Empress Dowager Feng: "I don't have any good manners. I know that the Empress Dowager is devout to worship Buddha. I personally copied a hundred volumes of scriptures and dedicated them to the Empress Dowager."

Empress Dowager Feng clapped her hands and said, "Okay! Su'er's gift, Ai's family also likes it very much."

His Highness Xun Yu smirked a little gleefully and said, "Young King, the status of Mr. Chu surpasses you."

Fu Su didn't speak, and was playing with the jade bottle in his hands. Xun Yu shook his head again, and when he raised his head, his eyes met Tuoba Si. Ba Si's eyes staggered.

The ministers in the palace began to present gifts one by one, and it was the last turn that Lu Mengxio gave the Queen Mother a dance. Lu Mengxio specially prepared it today. It was a light pink gauze dress with a blooming crabapple pinned to the neckline. Wearing pure white silk, a layer of pearl powder was lightly applied on the face, making it look white and delicate.The peach blossoms painted on the forehead are delicate and charming.

Lu Mengzhi was good-looking at first, but usually looks a bit dandy, but in terms of dancing posture, no one in Chang'an can dance more charmingly than her. Lu Mengzhi is spinning, and the gauze clothes follow her, with a taste of the Western Regions , stopped in front of Tuoba Si, Shui Xiu ran out of Tuoba Si impatiently and dodged, Lu Mengxie glared at him, but wandered around and refused to leave.

Empress Dowager Feng said with a smile: "The Ai family remembers that this dance is called: Let's welcome the spring rain, and the dance of Zhi Er is the best that the Ai family has ever seen."

Prime Minister Lu from the audience laughed and said, "The empress dowager praises it a lot, the little girl's dance won a big smile, it is also the honor of the little girl."
