After accidentally having a cub with the prince of the enemy country
Chapter 28 Spring Festival Banquet 3
Yan Qi's face was as pale as snow for a moment.
He looked stunned, obviously he didn't expect Sui Heng to say such a thing.
Yan Qi's self-confidence is not unreasonable arrogance. The Yan family has a deep foundation, a wealth of talents in the family, and students and old officials are all over the court and the public, almost ruling most of the literati circle in the capital of the Sui Dynasty.
Sui Heng was a martial artist, and he was not supported by Qingliu civil officials. Since the Spring Banquet was held, the Prince's Mansion has been taking the lead and competing independently, but because of Yan's support, the prince Sui Heng can not only sweep all the top prizes in martial arts, but also easily win The leaders of most of the literary projects crushed the civil officials of the Qingliu school represented by the left minister Jimo Qingyu.
Jimo Qingyu even secretly scolded Yan Bing for having no literati integrity and only knowing how to follow others.
The Spring Banquet originally originated from a gathering of literati and scholars, and the competition of the six arts is the core of the Spring Banquet.
Once the Yan family's support is lost, the Prince's Mansion will definitely lose half of the country at the spring banquet, not only losing to the civil servant group, but even losing to other subordinate small countries.
"Your Highness can humiliate me."
Yan Qi took a deep breath and spoke again.
"But as the crown prince, Your Highness should know which is more important. I remind Your Highness that not only the countries in the north of the Yangtze River, but also the countries in the south of the Yangtze River will be attending the banquet tomorrow."
"so what?"
The shadow of the lamp floated and fell on Sui Heng's dark eyebrows.
He laughed back angrily, and clicked his tongue: "Gu found that Yan Yushi not only likes to be sentimental, but also overconfident. What? Is Yan Yushi teaching Gu how to do things?"
Yan Qi's face turned pale again, and after a long silence, he cupped his hands and lowered his sleeves expressionlessly, saluted lightly, turned and left.
Shi Fang's heart was on fire.
His Highness hated being threatened the most in his life, this Yan Qi dared to go around Wan'er and threaten His Highness face to face.Shi Fang dare not imagine how furious His Highness must be at this moment.
Shi Fang couldn't help curling his lips, and said, "This Yan family is really hateful."
Jiang Yun heard it and couldn't help but glance at him.
I think this Sui Dynasty Hall is also very interesting.Since the Yan family is from the same lineage as Empress Yan, it is reasonable that they should be closely linked with Sui Heng, the crown prince, why did they become like enemies.
Shi Fang knew that he had lost his composure, and hurriedly said, "My lord, go over quickly, Your Highness is still waiting."
Sui Heng called Jiang Yun over to set off the lantern.
"Blessing lamp?"
Jiang Yun had seen it before when he was in Jiang Country, but it was on the New Year's Eve, sitting far away in the driveway, watching the people outside the city gather by the river and put out lanterns to pray for blessings.
"Yes."
Sui Heng raised his eyebrows, his eyes were clear. From Jiang Yun's point of view, he couldn't tell at all that he had just quarreled with his old lover.
He took it for granted: "I don't believe in these gods and ghosts, but the custom in the capital of the Sui Dynasty, on March [-]rd, write down your thoughts and wishes on paper, put them in the lotus lantern, and float away with the water, and your wishes will come true. Why don't you write one too?"
He ordered the palace servants to bring the lotus lantern and clean pens and paper, and stuffed all of them into Jiang Yun's arms.
"Well, I think about it for you, how about just writing it, growing old with Gu Bai, and giving Gu a litter of cubs?"
Jiang Yun glanced at him.
Pass the pen and paper back: "You write it yourself."
Sui Heng refused: "Since it's a wish, of course it will only work if you write it yourself, it won't work if you write it for you alone."
Jiang Yun wanted to say that he didn't want to write.
But Sui Heng still couldn't help but put the pen back.
"Write now and watch alone."
How should he write such shameful words, Jiang Yun bit his lip and said, "You recite it."
Sui Heng: "..."
Sui Heng couldn't believe it: "It's not like you're doing something shady, why do you want to recite it?"
Jiang Yun: "Back it on your back."
"Okay, you are the ancestor, you have the final say."
Sui Heng laughed softly and turned around.
After a while, he suddenly turned around and said, "I just want to read it after I finish writing."
Jiang Yun ignored him.
As soon as he picked up the pen, his body was suddenly hugged from behind.
Jiang Yun was annoyed: "What are you doing?"
Sui Heng stretched out his generous palm, held the fair and slender hand of the little lover, and said solemnly: "After thinking about it for a while, since two people are involved, two people must write together to be effective."
Jiang Yun: "..."
Jiang Yun wanted to pull out his hand, but he held it tighter.
"Don't move, there's only one piece of paper, if it's broken, it will be gone."
He has begun to write domineeringly.
Jiang Yun had no choice but to let him hold hands, and according to his writing habit, wrote those two lines of shameful words on the paper, his face became hot uncontrollably.
Looking at the little lover's slightly red earlobes, Sui Heng smiled lightly: "Is that embarrassing? You are too thin-skinned."
"Why, are you so embarrassed to have a lonely child?"
Jiang Yun looked at him in shame.
"What do you say?"
"say what?"
Sui Heng was very happy: "Gu said you can give birth, and you can give birth. If you can't give birth, Gu will have this river filled up."
"..."
Jiang Yun was too lazy to be serious with this bastard.
Sui Heng carefully rolled up the note and put it in Lian's heart, and then pulled Jiang Yun together to slowly push the lotus lamp out of the water.
After all, it is a very ceremonial thing. Jiang Yun followed the lotus lantern with his eyes, watching it drift away all the way, and slowly merge with other lotus lanterns.
Sui Heng stood behind, happily admiring the beautiful and elegant back of the little lover, and suddenly leaned over and asked, "Is there anything you want to ask Gu?"
He suddenly said this.
Jiang Yun looked up, slightly puzzled.
Sui Heng: "Gu and him are not what you think."
Only then did Jiang Yun realize that he was talking about Yan Qi.
In fact, Jiang Yun didn't mind or cared much about his love history, and Jiang Yun also noticed Yan Qi's strange behavior.Out of politeness, she said "oh" and nodded.
"What's your reaction?"
Sui Heng was displeased: "Seeing Gu staying with other men, shouldn't you be jealous or unhappy?"
Now that the words have come to this point, Jiang Yun doesn't mind knowing more, so he asked, "You were lovers?"
This question seemed to make Sui Heng very happy.
He didn't answer, but rolled his eyes and said with a smile: "Why, do you mind?"
"..."
Jiang Yun didn't know why he was so happy, so he asked, "What do you think?"
Sui Heng was even happier.
He said almost proudly: "No, since I grew up alone, I have only liked one person, and that is you."
Jiang Yun was startled.
Sui Heng: "What? Are you flattered?"
"Gu not only liked you, but also..."
He leaned closer and said something in a low voice, Jiang Yun's ears turned red, and he pushed him away.
Sui Heng, as the crown prince of the suzerain country, could not stay away from the banquet for too long after all. Sure enough, after a long meeting, someone from the palace came and said that His Majesty called the crown prince back.
Sui Heng didn't intend to stay by the river all the time, but he was afraid that Jiang Yun, who was not familiar with the place, would be bored at the banquet, so he took the time to call people out to enjoy the scenery.
"I'm afraid the dinner will be over for a while. It's cold at night, so I asked Ji An to fetch you a cloak. If you are really bored, you can go back to the palace to rest first."
That being said, Sui Heng was still worried that his little lover would leave his sight.
Jiang Yun nodded and walked back with him.
The atmosphere of the banquet was in full swing, Emperor Sui and Empress Yan had already left, and the guests from the subordinate countries were less restrained, and had already started toasting and chatting with each other.
The person surrounded the most was dressed in a scarlet robe, with a jade-like face, standing in the twilight, like a shadow of a crane in a clear lake, it was Yan Qi who had just appeared by the river.Yan Qi is the eldest grandson of the Yan family, and the number one master of writing in Jiangbei. There are countless people who want to make friends with him, no matter celebrities or officials.
It's rare to see each other on weekdays, so naturally we should take advantage of this opportunity to get close.
Chen Qi was also surrounded by many people, mainly celebrities and officials from the Five Kingdoms in the south of the Yangtze River.Although there are some people in their hearts who are not ashamed of Chen Qi's treachery and service to the enemy country, but Chen Qi was once one of the four sons of the Southern Kingdom, and he has a high status in the hearts of scholars. Assuming the position of military adviser in the middle school, currying favor with Chen Qi is indirectly tantamount to currying favor with the Crown Prince of the Sui Kingdom.Moreover, their lord had already surrendered to the Sui Kingdom, so there was no difference between them and Chen Qi in essence.
When they were suddenly called to the banquet, most of the ministers were panic-stricken. They urgently needed to know more information, and urgently needed to take advantage of this opportunity to please Sui, the new suzerain, especially the cold-faced, bloodthirsty and murderous Sui Crown Prince. .Sui Heng's status was noble, and his temper was notoriously domineering. The ministers did not dare to curry favour, so they all wanted to use Chen Qi to euphemistically inquire about the other party's preferences.
There is another reason.
Yan Qi and Chen Qi, the No. [-] writer in Jiangbei and the No. [-] writer in Jiangnan, are known as "Northern Qi and Southern Qi". At this moment, at the spring banquet, they will compete on the same stage for the title of Wenkui.Celebrities and ministers from all over the world, especially literati who are keen on literature, naturally want to have a look at the style and see which one is better.
"In the past, we small countries still had chances. This year, with the presence of 'Southern Qi and Northern Qi', the title of Wen Kui will definitely not fall into the hands of others."
Wei Yun also came to toast Chen Qi.
During this time, he had been staying in Sui Capital as a proton. His uncle King Wei wanted to use him to please the Crown Prince of Sui, but was rejected by Sui Heng.Wei Yun could only stay in a specific palace like other protons, and was closely monitored when going out and socializing on weekdays.Compared with the high-spirited "Mr. Rong" at the Liushang Banquet before, Wei Yun's complexion was much duller.
Chen Qi was surrounded by everyone like stars and the moon, Wei Yun waited for a long time before he got the chance to drink with Chen Qi.
Chen Qi said: "Ziqing seems a little haggard."
Wei Yun smiled wryly: "Now I am a prisoner under the rank, but I am as successful as a talented person in my official career and skyrocketed. In the future, in the capital of the Sui Dynasty, I will still rely on Brother Chen to take care of me."
Chen Qi said definitely.
Wei Yun knew that these were just polite words on the scene, because there were too many people who wanted to please Chen Qi, and they would definitely send gold, silver, jewelry or other good things to each other in private, but he had nothing.His uncle wished that he would die in the Sui Kingdom, so that he could justifiably help his son to the throne.Many ministers came to pay respects to Chen Qi, Wei Yun had no choice but to step back first and sit back on the table, seeing Luo Fengjun, the heir of the Luo Kingdom next to him, dressed in white, pouring himself a drink with a cold and proud face, and talking about the excitement around him. Turning a blind eye, he asked: "Brother Luo, don't you want to socialize?"
Luo Fengjun sneered disdainfully: "It's just a group of shameless people who are crowned with monkeys. What is there to socialize with? I'm afraid my eyes will be dirty."
Wei Yun: "..."
Wei Yun felt offended, and at the same time couldn't understand why Luo Fengjun was so angry now that he was in such a situation.He knew that Luo Fengjun had looked down on Chen Qi before, but Chen Qi is not what he used to be now, and Luo Fengjun's move is a little ignorant.
At this time, a series of "See Your Highness" suddenly came from the front, and Sui Heng came back.
He was dressed in black armor, his black hair was tied high with a black crown, his phoenix eyes were flamboyant, he was tall and handsome like a god, just standing there was extremely oppressive.
The rulers of several subordinate countries greeted him first.
Ordinary ministers leaned over to salute, not daring to look him in the face.
Sui Heng smiled and patted Lord Chen on the shoulder: "I haven't seen you for a few days, the Lord's face is full of red, and his face is also fat. Could there be some happy event?"
Lord Chen trembled violently, and immediately laughed uglier than crying.
Jiang Yuping, the lord of the Jiang Kingdom, poured a glass of wine with his own hands and gave it to Sui Heng. Sui Heng took it without drinking it, and said: "The navy that Jiang Guozhu presented is very good, I will go to the school ground with Gu to observe how it goes. , Look at the results of Gu's training."
Jiang Yuping knew that he was strict in running the army, and he was ruthless in training soldiers. I am afraid that he would not look down on the soldiers trained by Jiang Guo himself, so he must be ruthless to re-polish them.
He respectfully smiled and said, "It's my honor."
Sui Heng hadn't attended the spring banquet for three years, and the rulers of the northern countries couldn't wait to come forward and toast him.One person said: "Tomorrow's competition, is your Highness still short of people? There are just a few wrestling masters here, and you can send them to His Highness."
The Spring Banquet has more than 20 categories of competitions, and the contestants basically represent their respective countries. Each country is good at different things, some are good at literature and some are good at martial arts.Even in a suzerain state like the Sui Kingdom, it is rare for it to win the first place in all projects at the same time.
The other person immediately took up the conversation cheerfully: "Your Highness, there are so many fierce generals in the Qinglang Camp, who is not a master of wrestling, who still needs your crooked melons and dates? You should take care of yourself first, don't follow the old man again." Generally, go back empty-handed."
"Your Highness."
Xu Qiao came over quietly, and said in a low voice: "Yan Xiang just ordered someone to send the list of all Yan's disciples who participated in the six arts competition of the Spring Banquet this year, and asked His Highness to have a look."
It could almost be said to be an active gesture.
The children of the Yan family occupied almost half of the literati circle in the capital of the Sui Dynasty. With the children of the Yan family participating in the six-art competition, even if the Prince's Mansion could not win all the top spots, it could win at least half of the top leaders.At least one type of article will not fall into the hands of foreigners.
Unexpectedly, Sui Heng twitched the corner of his mouth lightly, and said flatly: "No need, tell Prime Minister Right, thanks to his kindness, Gu has other arrangements for this year's contestants."
Xu Qiao was taken aback for a moment, not understanding what he meant.
Sui Heng: "This year, no one from the Yan family will be used."
"This--"
Xu Qiao turned from stunned to shocked.
Without Yan, how can this be done!
Xu Qiao had no choice but to remonstrate with danger: "Your Highness is so openly opposed to Yan, it will not do His Highness any good. This subordinate knows that His Highness still hates Yan because of what happened three years ago, but the Spring Festival Banquet directly affects His Highness. Prestige and prestige are not child's play."
Moreover, His Highness's move is almost equivalent to pushing the Yan family back to the civil official group in a disguised form.
The civil servants are not friendly to His Highness, if there are no Yan family's disciples and old officials to ease it, His Highness's reputation will be so bad!
"It's no child's play alone."
"Gu just wants to let the Yan family know who is the king and who is the minister in this court."
Xu Qiao still felt that Sui Heng was too impulsive, but Xu Qiao didn't dare to persuade him any more.
Because Sui Heng has always kept his promises, he can even be called arbitrariness.Xu Qiao was a little worried about what kind of disturbance Sui Heng's decision would cause.
"Go and call Chen Qi."
Sui Heng ordered.
Xu Qiao accepted the order with a bitter face.
"This year's Spring Banquet Six Arts Competition, how sure is the military division winning?"
After calling Chen Qi to the front and back, Sui Heng went straight to the point.
Chen Qi had a faint premonition, and replied cautiously: "I will go all out."
"Gu not only requires you to go all out, but also a military division, you must win."
The night was quiet, and the sound was like thunder.
Chen Qi slowly raised his head amidst the silent thunder.
Sui Heng said: "This year, the prince's mansion does not need Yan's children, and the military adviser is the best candidate for Gu. As long as the military adviser can win half of the literary projects for Gu, in the future, the military adviser will be Gu's minister."
"Also, Gu needs military advisers to use the fastest speed to recruit a group of talents for Gu. There are no restrictions on background and family status. Talents who can become Gu's right-hand man."
Chengfu was as deep as Chen Qi, so he couldn't help being stunned.
Chen Qi had already thoroughly studied the situation of the confrontation between Chinese and military forces in the court of Sui Dynasty, and guessed that Sui Heng might break with the Yan family, but he didn't expect this day to come so soon.
At the same time, Chen Qi also realized that this might be another opportunity for him to soar higher and faster after Chen Du surrendered.
He cupped his hands and lowered his sleeves, and bowed to the end: "Your Highness is a trustworthy minister, and I will definitely live up to His Highness's trust!"
He looked stunned, obviously he didn't expect Sui Heng to say such a thing.
Yan Qi's self-confidence is not unreasonable arrogance. The Yan family has a deep foundation, a wealth of talents in the family, and students and old officials are all over the court and the public, almost ruling most of the literati circle in the capital of the Sui Dynasty.
Sui Heng was a martial artist, and he was not supported by Qingliu civil officials. Since the Spring Banquet was held, the Prince's Mansion has been taking the lead and competing independently, but because of Yan's support, the prince Sui Heng can not only sweep all the top prizes in martial arts, but also easily win The leaders of most of the literary projects crushed the civil officials of the Qingliu school represented by the left minister Jimo Qingyu.
Jimo Qingyu even secretly scolded Yan Bing for having no literati integrity and only knowing how to follow others.
The Spring Banquet originally originated from a gathering of literati and scholars, and the competition of the six arts is the core of the Spring Banquet.
Once the Yan family's support is lost, the Prince's Mansion will definitely lose half of the country at the spring banquet, not only losing to the civil servant group, but even losing to other subordinate small countries.
"Your Highness can humiliate me."
Yan Qi took a deep breath and spoke again.
"But as the crown prince, Your Highness should know which is more important. I remind Your Highness that not only the countries in the north of the Yangtze River, but also the countries in the south of the Yangtze River will be attending the banquet tomorrow."
"so what?"
The shadow of the lamp floated and fell on Sui Heng's dark eyebrows.
He laughed back angrily, and clicked his tongue: "Gu found that Yan Yushi not only likes to be sentimental, but also overconfident. What? Is Yan Yushi teaching Gu how to do things?"
Yan Qi's face turned pale again, and after a long silence, he cupped his hands and lowered his sleeves expressionlessly, saluted lightly, turned and left.
Shi Fang's heart was on fire.

Why don't you write one too?"
He ordered the palace servants to bring the lotus lantern and clean pens and paper, and stuffed all of them into Jiang Yun's arms.
"Well, I think about it for you, how about just writing it, growing old with Gu Bai, and giving Gu a litter of cubs?"
Jiang Yun glanced at him.
Pass the pen and paper back: "You write it yourself."
Sui Heng refused: "Since it's a wish, of course it will only work if you write it yourself, it won't work if you write it for you alone."
Jiang Yun wanted to say that he didn't want to write.
But Sui Heng still couldn't help but put the pen back.
"Write now and watch alone."
How should he write such shameful words, Jiang Yun bit his lip and said, "You recite it."

There are just a few wrestling masters here, and you can send them to His Highness."
The Spring Banquet has more than 20 categories of competitions, and the contestants basically represent their respective countries. Each country is good at different things, some are good at literature and some are good at martial arts.Even in a suzerain state like the Sui Kingdom, it is rare for it to win the first place in all projects at the same time.
The other person immediately took up the conversation cheerfully: "Your Highness, there are so many fierce generals in the Qinglang Camp, who is not a master of wrestling, who still needs your crooked melons and dates? You should take care of yourself first, don't follow the old man again." Generally, go back empty-handed."
"Your Highness."
Xu Qiao came over quietly, and said in a low voice: "Yan Xiang just ordered someone to send the list of all Yan's disciples who participated in the six arts competition of the Spring Banquet this year, and asked His Highness to have a look."
It could almost be said to be an active gesture.
The children of the Yan family occupied almost half of the literati circle in the capital of the Sui Dynasty. With the children of the Yan family participating in the six-art competition, even if the Prince's Mansion could not win all the top spots, it could win at least half of the top leaders.At least one type of article will not fall into the hands of foreigners.
Unexpectedly, Sui Heng twitched the corner of his mouth lightly, and said flatly: "No need, tell Prime Minister Right, thanks to his kindness, Gu has other arrangements for this year's contestants."
Xu Qiao was taken aback for a moment, not understanding what he meant.
Sui Heng: "This year, no one from the Yan family will be used."
"This--"
Xu Qiao turned from stunned to shocked.
Without Yan, how can this be done!
Xu Qiao had no choice but to remonstrate with danger: "Your Highness is so openly opposed to Yan, it will not do His Highness any good. This subordinate knows that His Highness still hates Yan because of what happened three years ago, but the Spring Festival Banquet directly affects His Highness. Prestige and prestige are not child's play."
Moreover, His Highness's move is almost equivalent to pushing the Yan family back to the civil official group in a disguised form.
The civil servants are not friendly to His Highness, if there are no Yan family's disciples and old officials to ease it, His Highness's reputation will be so bad!
"It's no child's play alone."
"Gu just wants to let the Yan family know who is the king and who is the minister in this court."
Xu Qiao still felt that Sui Heng was too impulsive, but Xu Qiao didn't dare to persuade him any more.
Because Sui Heng has always kept his promises, he can even be called arbitrariness.Xu Qiao was a little worried about what kind of disturbance Sui Heng's decision would cause.
"Go and call Chen Qi."
Sui Heng ordered.
Xu Qiao accepted the order with a bitter face.
"This year's Spring Banquet Six Arts Competition, how sure is the military division winning?"
After calling Chen Qi to the front and back, Sui Heng went straight to the point.
Chen Qi had a faint premonition, and replied cautiously: "I will go all out."
"Gu not only requires you to go all out, but also a military division, you must win."
The night was quiet, and the sound was like thunder.
Chen Qi slowly raised his head amidst the silent thunder.
Sui Heng said: "This year, the prince's mansion does not need Yan's children, and the military adviser is the best candidate for Gu. As long as the military adviser can win half of the literary projects for Gu, in the future, the military adviser will be Gu's minister."
"Also, Gu needs military advisers to use the fastest speed to recruit a group of talents for Gu. There are no restrictions on background and family status. Talents who can become Gu's right-hand man."
Chengfu was as deep as Chen Qi, so he couldn't help being stunned.
Chen Qi had already thoroughly studied the situation of the confrontation between Chinese and military forces in the court of Sui Dynasty, and guessed that Sui Heng might break with the Yan family, but he didn't expect this day to come so soon.
At the same time, Chen Qi also realized that this might be another opportunity for him to soar higher and faster after Chen Du surrendered.
He cupped his hands and lowered his sleeves, and bowed to the end: "Your Highness is a trustworthy minister, and I will definitely live up to His Highness's trust!"
