The Prince Regent’s Violent Medical Consort Chapter 726: Celebratory banquet
The celebration banquet is not a grand one, because the Empress Dowager has just passed away this year and is still in mourning.
Second, because the emperor's health has not been very good these days, he instructed the inner palace to make the banquet simpler.
Because it is a celebration banquet, all the nobles and ministers will naturally be present as non-voting delegates. All rank five and above must attend, but no family members will be brought.
The celebration banquet is different from other banquets, it is only for honoring the meritorious officials, and at the same time to celebrate the great victory of the big week.
After Prince An and Xiao Xiao returned to the court, they immediately entered the palace to see the emperor. Around You Shi, before the sky darkened, the Wanshou Palace, where the celebration banquet was held, was brightly lit. Since Zian managed the harem and cut expenses, the palace has been frugal for a while, but since Hu Huanling became the queen, it was sealed off. After the concubine became the empress dowager, the wind of luxury opened again
become popular.
Indeed, Hu Huanling also had a lot of dowries. She chose some of them to keep with her, and gave the rest to the emperor.
Hu Huanling is considerate, virtuous, and most importantly, generous.
The Hu family has money and is the richest in the world, that's right.
The money she didwry made the Emperor Longyan happy for three days.
Because he was in a good mood, the emperor was extra gracious today, pardoning King Nanhuai and allowing him to enter the palace to participate in the banquet.
King Nan Huai has become a laughing stock. He once created pressure on Beijing, just like before the summer rainstorm, lightning and thunder, strong winds, and in the end, not a drop of rain fell.
Some vulgar people even described him as a turbulent anger in his stomach. In the end, he only had a fart and didn't make a sound.
Also, his fiancee, Sun Fang'er, eventually became a noble concubine. King Nanhuai was green from the bottom of his feet to the top of his head. When they talked about him, everyone covered their mouths and smiled.
Tonight, he came very early. He was wearing a python robe made by the prince. He lost a lot of weight. His expression was timid.
Sometimes people are so strange. When a person's arrogance is high, many people will not like it, but a high-ranking person suddenly falls into the dust and is as humble as a lost dog, and sympathy will flow spontaneously. pregnancy.
Perhaps, it's not sympathy, it's just wanting to show that he is vacuous and kind.
Many ministers went over to greet him with a few words of relief.
King Nanhuai showed a very grateful attitude, and even bowed, not at all like a royal prince.
When Murong Jie came, King Nanhuai was talking to the minister of the household. King Nanhuai lowered his head and listened intently, sometimes nodding, sometimes showing a humble smile.
On the other hand, the minister of the household department was arrogant and proud, with an attitude of kindness. After arriving, he even patted the shoulder of King Nan Huai, with the pride of a high-ranking person teaching a low-ranking person.
Murong Jie just pretended not to see it, and was surrounded by the crowd.
As soon as he came in, there was no one around on King Nanhuai's side, and they all stepped forward and said some congratulations to Murong Jie.
Murong Jie has a black face all the time, which is in line with his usual image, and everyone is used to it. If he suddenly talks and laughs with everyone in a good mood, everyone will be afraid.
King Nan Huai hesitated for a moment, but also stepped forward to greet him.
"Seventh Brother!" He cupped his hands humbly, his back slightly hunched, Murong Jie looked at him up close, and found that the hair on his temples was slightly frosty.
He is only twenty years old this year.
"Yeah!" Murong Jie made a sound from his nose, and there was a sound in his throat, and he pressed it down with all his might.
He was never a humble and respectful person.
Even on the surface, it's not on the inside.
At the celebration banquet, the concubine did not attend much. The emperor only brought the empress Hu Huanling, Concubine Yigui and Sun Fanger.
Sun Fang'er was dressed very plainly today, the azurite dark moiré silk satin palace skirt, without any embroidery, came up against the wind, making people feel that she was stubborn, and her face was extremely pale.
She followed Hu Huanling behind Hu Huanling. Concubine Yi Gui was walking side by side with her. Today, Concubine Yi was wearing a crimson satin pleated skirt, embroidered with delicate peony, combed down into a bun, and her temples were carefree. Lazy, indescribable style.
Hu Huanling wears formal attire. She is dressed in the royal court dress made by the queen. She is embroidered with exquisite flying phoenix embroidery. The oval face is lightly powdered. Know that she is a businessman?
The emperor was wearing a bright yellow uniform, and his movements were a little slow, and his face was a little worse than the previous day, but because he was in a good mood, his eyes were smiling, so he seemed to be in good spirits.
Following behind the emperor are the generals Xiao Xiao and Prince An.
Both of them are in silver armor, and their faces are clean, but the vicissitudes of life are hard to hide.
There are some scars on Prince An's face, which have healed, but left a faint trace, but it is a little different from the former Wen Xiuqingjun, looking arrogant and domineering.
Xiao Xiao is still calm and reserved, but because the fighting spirit has not dissipated, it always makes people feel fierce.
When the two of them entered the capital, the emperor immediately issued a decree to let them enter the palace, not allowing them to meet with anyone in private, not even the mansion.
Now that the two met Murong Jie, they only nodded slightly.
A hundred officials greeted each other, and the atmosphere was warm for a while.
The emperor smiled and invited everyone to the table and toasted the hero.
After pacifying Xianbei, the Beimo side was considered a temporary truce. The emperor really relaxed a lot in his heart, and felt that what he had done before was a bit biased. Therefore, after three rounds of drinking, he took Murong Jie's hand and said to Baiguan with a look of relief: "When the late emperor was there, he praised Lao Qi very much, saying that he is smart and virtuous, and he is one of the great generals. Talent, I can become my right-hand man in the future, and now, Lao Qi really lives up to the expectations of the late emperor,
He made great contributions to the court for the Great Zhou. "
Some of the old courtiers present, and even the older generation of the royal family, such as the King of Yuedong and others, knew that the late emperor was really fond of Murong Jie, and, at one point, he wanted to make Murong Jie the crown prince.
Of course, Murong Jie was neither the eldest son nor the eldest son, and there was no precedent for him. In addition, the prince at that time and the current emperor was also very good, so the previous emperor did not insist.
The emperor was excited and said: "One day, I will never doubt the regent, nor remove the regent. He will govern the country of Da Zhou with me."
Murong Jie listened to this, his face was respectful, but his eyes were slightly cold.
What do you want to do to hold him so high? Is it possible to work together to govern the country in the Great Zhou Dynasty without removing the regent?
Nan Huai Wang has been silent tonight. He drinks when he drinks, and when the emperor speaks, he listens quietly, just like an invisible man.
The emperor's emotions were getting more and more high. When he was about to pass the dance, he heard panic and noise from outside, and could vaguely hear the third prince shouting: "Xia Lin is dead, Xia Lin is dead."
The emperor stood up abruptly and his expression changed drastically.
Everyone looked over and saw that the third prince was already slumped on the ground, his face pale, and he shouted indiscriminately, "It's terrible, I went to visit him, he said a few words, and suddenly he vomited blood and died... "
The minion beside him was covering his mouth hard, trying to drag him away.
However, the third prince seemed to be frightened, struggling desperately, crying and shouting. Gonggong Lu, who was beside the emperor, hurried over and said angrily, "Why don't you take the third prince back? Do you want your head?"
