General, your bun is here!

Chapter 22. The Palace Banquet

At night, Zhang Xiaoqiu was lying on the bed, with one hand holding Baozi who was sleeping in his arms, and the other hand holding the piece of jade in front of his eyes. Maoji was lying on the pillow beside him, struggling to lift a wing to think about it. Pull that piece of jade.

The piece of jade glowed faintly in the white moonlight coming in from the window. As soon as Zhang Xiaoqiu's hand or Maoji's paw touched the piece of jade, the white light around him flowed slightly at a speed visible to the naked eye. The chicken will feel a sense of comfort all over the body.

But right now Zhang Xiaoqiu was not thinking about the jade, he was thinking about what that person said to him that night.In fact, what he said couldn't be more transparent, but he still had a feeling of disbelief.All of this encloses him like a cloud and mist, and Xuan Ming's confession to him is like a voice that seduces him from outside the clouds and mist, making him uncontrollably approaching and pursuing, but instinctively feeling doubts and doubts.

But it is said that the gate of Fengyi Palace in the imperial palace is tightly closed, and the gate guards the big maid next to Empress Yuan.Taifu Yuan, his three sons, and Empress Yuan were all inside, and Empress Yuan said eagerly, "Father, you said at the beginning that you would let that kid Xuanming lose his life! Now it's good, not only did he not lose his life, but he returned triumphantly." back!"

Yuan Taifu also had an ugly expression on his face, while his eldest son Yuan Chang, who is also the eldest brother of Empress Yuan, persuaded him, "Sister, don't worry! Now the emperor didn't give him an official position, he The subordinates are not scattered, and as long as you are still the queen and Che'er is still the crown prince, no one can surpass you!"

Empress Yuan's second elder brother also said, "That's right, with daddy here, and us, we won't let that brat Xuanming make waves!"

Empress Yuan's third elder brother snorted disdainfully, "Look at all of you, you are treating others as fools! This Xuanming dares to come back now, you think he is still the old brat!"

Yuan Taifu sighed and said coldly, "Okay, don't argue! I see, the emperor has to think about the succession of the throne no matter what he does. A prince who is obsessed with actors doesn't even have an heir. , no matter how great the credit is, it is impossible to become the emperor."

Yuan Chang and his second brother nodded in a serious manner, and Yuan Chang said beside him, "Listen to my incompetent third son, after this Xuanming came back, he ran to Tianqing Pavilion almost every day, just to see Tian Qing The opera singer in the pavilion. When the soldiers entered the city gate to parade the streets, this Xuanming also saw the opera singer, and abandoned the soldiers behind him on the way, and ran away with the opera singer regardless of the many people around him. This word is spreading in the capital.”

Yuan Laosan sneered from the side, "Brother, when did you love to chew your tongue like a woman?!"

Boss Yuan choked on his younger brother, pointed at him with a blue face and trembled for a few times without saying a word.

But he said that Yuan Laosan was the most unscrupulous among Yuan Taifu's sons, but he was also the most flexible and the most discerning.Now Yuan Boss and Yuan Lao Er both hold important positions of two thousand shi in the court, but Yuan Lao San relied on the relationship between his father and his sister who was the queen, and was granted the title of Marquis of Leyang, but he has no official position at all.But Yuan Boss, Yuan Lao Er and Queen Yuan never dared to underestimate him.

Yuan Taifu spent most of his life in the imperial court. It can be said that he is an old fritters. He married a wife in his life and gave birth to four children.The three sons were the eldest, and Empress Yuan was the youngest daughter in the family, and she was very spoiled since she was a child.

In Yuan Taifu's heart, he was not very satisfied with his sons. The eldest son and the second son were more than smooth and smooth, but not smart enough, and the third son had enough brains, but he had such a temper.In his opinion, if his sons were in his original status, none of them could be mixed up with what he is now.

He is already in his seventies, and has been immersed in the court for nearly fifty years. He has been in the wind and rain, and he has never seen any strong winds and waves. Xuanming's military achievements are not enough to make him panic.

No one knows better than him the temperament of the gang of courtiers and elders in the imperial court.The inheritance of the throne, not to mention anything else, the most important thing is the difference between the elders and the younger.His daughter is the empress, she gave birth to the eldest son Xuan Che, and also established the crown prince. As long as they don't make mistakes, no matter how they find it, the throne will still belong to the crown prince.

Yuan Taifu said in a friendly way, "Okay, okay. Third child, you too, my brother must fight!" Then he said to Empress Yuan with a loving face, "Ying'er, you are your queen. You don’t need to think about anything else. Just relying on that brat Xuanming, he won’t be able to touch the foundation of you and the crown prince.”

Empress Yuan's maiden name is Yuan Ying, and Yuan's mother passed away when she was young. Taifu Yuan, three older brothers and several men really couldn't take care of a little girl, especially Taifu Yuan, who was born with a young daughter, felt sorry for her having lost her mother. , and even hurt Queen Yuan badly since she was a child.Even though the three elder brothers have their own tempers, they have always loved this younger sister.

Empress Yuan had a high spirit since she was a child. When she grew up, she wanted to be the most noble woman in the Cangxuan Dynasty. Later, she happened to meet the emperor who was still a prince at a banquet, so she decided to marry the emperor.In a certain way, Empress Yuan and Xuanming's mother and concubine are quite similar, but the fate is very different after all.
