The royal family, civil and military officials sat in turn, and the palace gave a banquet to celebrate the Northern Expedition.

The candles in the main hall were brightly lit. The dancers in the center were dressed in colorful dresses with flying long sleeves. They danced neatly and to the sound of silk and bamboo.

The emperor is sitting on the altar with his beautiful concubine in his arms, his face is full of glory, and he is full of interest. The concubine is leaning on the emperor's arms with a smile, her eyes are youthful and moving, but she just gave birth to a little princess and was promoted to Concubine Shu Concubine Zhang, while the noble concubine and the virtuous concubine sat on the left and right sides of the throne.

The first ones below are the King of Liang and the King of Shu, declaring the clear status of these two princes, the eyes of civil and military officials also linger more, and the places where the eyes of all factions and departments meet are dark and surging.

Sitting behind the two kings was King Ling, who did not appear in front of the crowd, with a careless attitude, as if he had no interest in the exchange of toasts.Ninth Prince Zhao Jingyu sat next to him, and it was also the first time he had a seat at a palace banquet.Because of Zhao Yuanrong, it gradually appeared in front of people, but it was still not taken seriously.

Further down is Zhao Jingyi, the focus of this palace banquet.

However, Prince Rui always ignored these vague temptations, his stern face remained solemn, as if he didn't notice it, but also seemed to be contemptuous, and stayed away from the matter.

No need for words, once the implicated and probing eyes touched his sharp and cold eyes, they couldn't help but hurried away.

Having not seen each other for three years, Prince Rui's aura is even more impressive, and the sharpness in his eyes is irresistible.In the surrounding area, no minister dared to come forward to talk, only a few generals who accompanied the army had a few drinks together.

"it is good!"

As soon as the song fell, the dancer girl bowed her eyes and knelt down to worship the emperor, and slowly stepped back.

All the officials sitting on the long seat stood up, and the King of Liang and the King of Shu led the emperor to kowtow and salute, and congratulated in unison: "I wish the world will be flattened, and the country's prestige will be made famous. The great summer will last forever. Long live my emperor! Long live! Long live!"

Emperor Xia Jing was very happy, looking at his two sons today was also quite pleasing to the eye, he raised his hands and flattened his body.

Liang Wang came out and said: "Father, the victory of this battle is due to the bravery of the soldiers of the three armies, the strategy of the commander, and the wise master of the father! Suddenly a white deer appeared, with a snow-white body, agile and intelligent, this is an auspicious photo, it has been carefully taken care of by the servants and sent to the capital, dedicated to the emperor!"

During the reign of the emperor, the appearance of auspicious beasts such as white deer, giant tortoise, golden bird, etc. are all auspicious and auspicious signs. It is God's approval of the emperor.

Even a faint king hopes to get his destiny, not to mention Emperor Xia Jing who always claims to be a hero?

At this moment, the auspicious appearance appeared at the right time. Emperor Xia Jing was extremely happy, and all the officials congratulated him. He laughed three times on the spot, praising King Liang for his hard work, generous rewards, and the look in his son's eyes was extraordinarily loving.

A smile appeared on the noble concubine's face, unable to hide her complacency, she glanced provocatively at the concubine Xian opposite.

Concubine Xian suppressed her smile, her eyes were cold, and she looked at the King of Shu anxiously.

The king of Shu narrowed his eyes and sneered in his heart. His good brother offered auspiciousness and got the first chance, but in terms of understanding the emperor's mind, he didn't give in too much.

So he lifted his brocade robe, strode out, and kowtowed loudly: "Father, the complete victory in this battle is the result of Father's achievements in governing Qingming and creating a prosperous world. Since it is auspicious and God's will, it is the merit of eternal life, my son!" I implore my father to enshrine the throne and enshrine Zen, and set up a monument as a sacrifice to the heavens!"

As soon as the King of Shu said this, all the ministers were in an uproar, and King Liang's expression turned gloomy. He saw Emperor Xia Jing suddenly get up, and the nine imperial crowns collided with each other in front of his forehead!

The emperor is seldom so excited, but at this moment, he couldn't take care of it, and felt that he had lost his composure, so he said: "Although I think that I am diligent in governing, and I never slack off, but...but I am more than diligent in government, and I am not aggressive enough. Natural disasters, man-made disasters, and people's hardships , After 20 years of reign, only now can the Quartet be pacified. It is really incomparable to the Holy Emperor Mingjun. After a hundred years, he will have no face to meet the Taizu Emperor. How can... how can we be arrogant and become Zen, and ascend Mount Tai! Not right, not right ... Treat this as if you have never heard it, so there is no need for the emperor to say more! Get back!"

Although Emperor Xia Jing spoke like this, his expression was agitated and he couldn't control himself.

The king of Shu prostrated himself on the ground immediately, and shouted: "Father, the disaster of the Hu Nu has been a long time ago. As early as the reign of the former emperor, there was no one in the court, and it has become weaker and weaker. Now the Hu Nu has surrendered the letter." Your Majesty, bow your head and proclaim your ministers. The coming of the four seas is just around the corner. It is the merit of the father, the blessing of the people, and the fortune of the country! There is no chaos from foreign enemies, and the people can cultivate themselves. Huguang, Shu, and Jiangnan have abundant grain depots, natural disasters and man-made disasters Frequently, but each time passed safely, and it will be a matter of time to recover! The politics is clear, the people live and work in peace and contentment, and the border military defense is strong. I don’t know what else to call the Kaiyuan prosperous age, but if it is said by the son, in the future, it must be Continuing the road of the father's reign, I implore the father to ascend the throne and enshrine the Zen as a show to future generations!"

The voice of the king of Shu has never been so sonorous, and his eyes have never been so full of admiration and reverence, and there is also a trace of fear.

Looking past the emperor's face inadvertently, Zhao Jingyi picked up the wine glass and sipped it lightly to cover up the sarcasm at the corner of his mouth.

The civil and military officials didn't respond for a while, as if they hadn't woken up from this bold proposal, but there was always such a quick response, and they immediately came out to agree, "Your Majesty, my ministers seconded the proposal. After two generations of emperors, Hu Nu's defeat and surrender is a This court has only realized that the emperor, the sage and wise king, should ascend the throne and enshrine Zen!"

After the words fell, the emperor nodded slightly, and everyone suddenly realized that no matter whether the current emperor is a sage or not, no one can resist such temptations. The matter of enshrining Zen has been decided since the King of Shu proposed it.

Today's Emperor Xia Jing only needs a legitimate ladder.

Needless to say, King Liang gritted his teeth, immediately knelt beside King Shu, and shouted: "Father, please enshrine Zen!"

"Please make an order from the emperor to enshrine Zen!" All the civil and military officials had no objection, and they all knelt down and worshiped.

Emperor Xia Jing's face turned red, and he looked at the ministers under the hall one by one with joy, until they fell on Prince Rui, "How do you say Jingyi?"

After all, everyone knows who the biggest hero is.

Zhao Jingyi knelt alone in the crowd and raised his head, clasped his fists and said in a deep voice: "The barbarians all look up to Your Majesty."

"Okay! I won't refuse anymore, and the Ministry of Rites will choose an auspicious day to enshrine Zen."

It was already late when the banquet was over and the palace was leaving.

In the name of picking up his son, Zhao Jingyi brought people to the White Mansion again, and it was aboveboard.

The courtyard was quiet, the candles were dimly lit, and there was only one figure standing quietly at the door.

Zhao Jingyi took a few steps faster when he saw it, grabbed the person, stretched his hand into the cloak to hold those hands, and couldn't help but lower his voice, "Why are you standing at the door, it's snowing, isn't it cold?"

"It's not cold, there is a stove." Lin Xi let him hold it, and even touched the small stove in his arms with his hand. Mr. Lin must have one in winter, "My health is much better, you don't have to worry."

Lin Xi looked up at Zhao Jingyi, saw the obvious worry in his eyes, couldn't help but narrowed his eyes with a smile.

The snow had begun to fall, the night was colder, and the exhaled breath was white.

Zhao Jingyi didn't agree, but seeing Lin Xi's unblinking eyes, his heart suddenly softened. He took off his cloak and wrapped it around him again. From a distance, it looked like a fat ball, leaving only a His face was exposed.

Lin Xi looked at Zhao Jingyi with some jealousy, wearing only a thin prince's python robe, tall and straight, handsome, very domineering, and not afraid of the cold at all, he still remembered that this man's arms were warm.

Speaking of which, his head was a little dizzy at the moment.

"Where's Rong'er?" Zhao Jingyi stood on the porch, barely avoiding the snow falling on his body, blocking the cold outside.

"When you can't wait, you will fall asleep." Lin Xi said, her eyes were still looking straight at Zhao Jingyi, motionless.

"It's so late, why don't you go to bed?" Zhao Jingyi looked puzzled, frowned, sniffed lightly, and said in surprise, "Have you been drinking?"

Lin Xi smiled and nodded, stretched out her fingers from layers of cloaks and shook, "A little bit."

A little like this?

Zhao Jingyi had seen it, and couldn't help but look at Lin Xi carefully again.

Under the dim candlelight, he couldn't see his face clearly, only his eyes were unexpectedly bright, as if he was sober and drunk, at the moment Lin Xi looked unexpectedly well-behaved and easy to deceive.

A kind of itching to scratch his head and cheeks came from the bottom of his heart, Zhao Jingyi suppressed the thought and asked in a low voice: "Is Xi'er waiting for me specially?"

Lin Xi moved her nose, and then Zhao Jingyi was delighted to see him nodding.

"Miss me?"

Lin Xi still gave an honest "hmm".

Zhao Jingyi's heart suddenly became hot, and his whole body was warm. He couldn't help but hugged him in his arms, and was about to have a kiss, when he heard a light cough from the dark guard, and then a series of footsteps came trotting quickly , Zhao Jingyi secretly sighed "It's a pity" and let go.

"Master, God, why are you at the door... my lord?" Yuanyuan came over with a bowl of hangover soup, and was startled when she saw a dark figure standing in front of his young master. It was Prince Rui, who hurriedly saluted.

The sanctimonious Zhao Jingyi raised his hand flat, and asked without blushing, "Why did you drink today?"

Yuanyuan couldn't help being angry when she said that, "Old Mr. Bai seems to be in a bad mood. Since Master Dao is a scholar, he has to socialize, so he dragged him to drink with him." Speaking of which, she was quite helpless, "Young master rarely drinks. The alcohol capacity is very light, the old man is not drunk, he has become like this."

That's fine, to be honest.Zhao Jingyi silently thought in her heart that Lin Xi would have to drink a few more drinks in the future, it was very deceiving.

"It's causing trouble for the prince, it's cold here, you might as well go into the house."

The room was warm, and Lin Xi was wrapped up a lot, so she immediately took off her cloak uncomfortably. Yuanyuan was about to put down the hangover soup and go to help, but found that Prince Rui had already stretched out his hand to untie Lin Xi, and also thoughtfully adjusted it for him The hair, the movement is extremely gentle.

Lin Xi looked at him carefully, as if she didn't recognize him, and looked at him carefully for a long time, "Zhao Jingyi?"

The latter responded.

As soon as the words fell, Lin Xi stood up suddenly and wanted to push him out, muttering as she pushed, "Isn't it supposed to sneak in in the middle of the night? No, I have to do it all over again, do you know secretly? The door has to be closed, and you can't give it to others." What people see..."

No matter how calm Zhao Jingyi was, he couldn't keep his face anymore, but Lin Xi was still pushing him hard, "Smelly rascal, old bastard, big ice cube... let you pretend, pretend..."

Zhao Jingyi looked at the hands on his chest, turned his face sideways, and glanced at Yuanyuan.

At this moment, Yuanyuan, as his name suggests, widened his eyes, his eyes fell on Zhao Jingyi bit by bit, he opened his mouth not knowing what to say.

Xi'er, stop making trouble, she's about to reveal herself.

Zhao Jingyi sighed, and the idea of ​​silence turned around in his mind and was thrown out again.But after all, he is used to big scenes, he is not afraid of life and death, such trivial matters are no problem, after the initial surprise, he calmly told Yuanyuan: "There is my king here, go out and close the door."

Of course, treat the sweetheart with tenderness, and there is nothing to discuss with a maid.

Yuanyuan had no power to resist Zhao Jingyi's overwhelming aura, and her mind was blank.

"Keep your mouth shut."

Yuanyuan covered her mouth and stood at the door without moving. After all, she was protecting her wholeheartedly. She always felt that his young master was at a disadvantage. However, before she could struggle to do something, Wei Jia ran out from nowhere and grabbed her and hurried out , and thoughtfully closed the door.

As soon as the person left, there was nothing to hesitate at this time, Lin Xi's push was like a joke to Zhao Jingyi, she put her arms around her waist, hugged him in her arms, lifted his chin and kissed him .

Just this one kiss in three years, it was so beautiful that Zhao Jingyi sighed with emotion.
