I wish for a long time

The event of worshiping the Buddha was held in the Xiangzi Hall, presided over by the Queen Mother and the Emperor, and all the concubines, princes and grandchildren brought the ceremony, and the whole palace was filled with incense.

"The eighth princess's bedroom seems to be not far from the Xiangzi Palace."

Ye Jiu sniffed the smell of incense in the air, and felt that what he entered was not the Xiyin Palace of the Eighth Princess, but a certain temple on the mountain.

"That's right, my son, this place is far away from the central palace, surrounded by cold palaces and imperial ancestral halls, if it's a good thing, it's a little closer to the imperial garden."

Ye Jiu nodded, no wonder the last two encounters with these eight princesses were in the imperial garden.

She suddenly realized, "Pang Yan, what did you call me just now?"

"Bah-"

The Jiulianhuan in Chu Sheng's hand dropped again, and she hurriedly got down on the ground to pick it up.

Ye Jiu watched helplessly as a dignified and beautiful woman fell short in an instant, the light blue palace dress was spread all over the floor, and its owner was digging into the table.

Ye Jiu: ...

The beauty is only three seconds, and it is the eight princesses.

Jiu Lianhuan fell close to her, Ye Jiu couldn't help it, so he got up quickly and picked up Jiu Lianhuan for her.

Chu Sheng watched Jiu Lianhuan being picked up, looked along, and saw a good-looking face.

This was the first time the two faced each other since Ye Jiu entered the hall today.

In the previous time, it was all Ye Jiu and the maid next to him who came and went politely, Chu Sheng didn't even raise his head, and kept playing with Jiulianhuan.

"Can you solve it?"

Chu Sheng seemed to have recovered, looked at the blue-robed man squatting in front of him, sat back, bowed his head and remained silent.

Seeing that she didn't want to talk to him again, Ye Jiu glanced at Pang Yan next to him in bewilderment. Seeing this, Pang Yan hurriedly came over to tease Chu Sheng.

"Little...young lord, the princess doesn't want to talk when she sees strangers," Pang Yan helped Chu Sheng to the chair, "The nine chains are the princess's favorite thing, but how can there be anything in Xiyin Palace that can play?" For the person of this thing, the princess can only explore it by herself, or use it as a decoration."

Ye Jiu looked at the Nine Links in his hand, the ring and the round pole were made of copper, while the nine poles below were made of bamboo, which looked like mottled bamboo.

She glanced at it casually, one of the nine rings fell off, almost the seventh, Ye Jiu frowned upon seeing this.

Unlocking this ring is about twenty steps at the beginning, but all the previous ones have been pressed back. If this continues, it is really impossible to untie it.

She only took a rough look, and then put it in front of Chu Sheng, "Bamboo is not easy to preserve, the princess has a heart."

It wasn't until Ye Jiu's hand completely left Jiu Lianhuan that Chu Sheng reached out to take it.

"The princess's favorite thing, the slaves will naturally take care of it, and will use raw walnut oil to maintain it every few days, so as not to dry out and rot."

Ye Jiu nodded slightly when he heard the words, and opened the food box on the side, "Princess, I bought some food from the shop, the princess might as well try it."

What is not common is that Ye Jiu snatched it from the stream Tang.

The small lotus dish contains exquisite small cakes, small squares of yogurt in a circle, and a bowl of double skin milk in the middle.

Chu Sheng raised his head smelling the smell, looked at the dazzling pastries on the table, raised his fingers slightly, and retracted them again.

Seeing that she wanted to eat but didn't dare to move, Ye Jiu looked like a child abused by her stepmother. She felt a little distressed, so he pushed the food in front of her, "It's still hot, but it's delicious."

Chu Sheng pursed his lips, reached out to pick up a piece, and gently put it in his mouth, it was soft and glutinous, sweet and fragrant.

She picked up another piece and stuffed it into her mouth.

Seeing her put down her guard, Ye Jiu devoured the cakes on the table like a wolf, her bulging cheeks were extremely cute.

Her mind flickered, and she felt that the picture in front of her was a little trance.

"Princess, you can eat slowly, there will be a family banquet later, if you are full now, it's time to make trouble later."

Pang Yan's voice brought Ye Jiu back to his senses, Chu Sheng was still eating happily with her head down, she frowned, and a hint of deep meaning flashed in her eyes.

"His Royal Highness, Marquis of Zhenyuan, it's time for fasting, please move to Heyang Hall."

……

Heyang Hall.

Ye Jiu originally thought that there should be a big round table like a wedding banquet, and a group of people gathered around a few tables, but when she walked into the hall, she was stunned by the four rows of small tables on both sides.

When Ye Jiu and Chu Sheng walked in, many people in the hall had already taken their seats.

Among them were the former Third Prince, the present Prince Mu, and Chu Shiwei.

Ye Jiu didn't recognize this Mu Wang, until the little prince next to him called "Third Brother" affectionately, and she realized who the man in the purple dress was.

As a princess, Chu Sheng was naturally in the front position. Although she was neglected, she did not have a title, but after all, her seniority was there. She was led by Pang Yan and sat not far behind the third prince.

So there was no surprise, next to those brats from last time: Huayu, Jinxi, and Princess Fourteen.

Ye Jiu is a foreign minister, and because he is a marquis, he is slightly forward on the right.

Ritual Buddha fasting was originally a family banquet in the imperial palace, so the ministers who were invited to participate were extremely honorable, and the number was also small. Ye Jiu scanned roughly, and there were only a few who did not have gold or silver threads on their bodies.

Of course there are Xiao Lanfeng and Chu Shangzhang inside.

"Xiao Jiu, where have you been? I can't find you anywhere!"

Xiao Lanfeng sat on Ye Jiu's right back, and he poked his head out and called her in a low voice.

Ye Jiu glanced at Chu Sheng opposite him, leaned back, "It's okay, just turn around."

Her eyes fell on Prince Mu who was opposite him. He was chatting and laughing with a little prince at this time, looking very kind.

As if feeling his own gaze, Chu Shiwei turned his head and looked over, picked up the wine glass again, and raised it to himself from afar.

Ye Jiu was stunned for a moment, then quickly raised his wine glass.She was a little puzzled why Prince Mu would greet her, as if they had never met.

"The emperor arrives, the empress dowager arrives, Zheng Taifei and Qi dowager arrive, and the virtuous king arrives."

Following the eunuch's sharp voice, several luxuriously dressed people came slowly from the corridor, everyone stood up and saluted, Ye Jiu was no exception.

Chu Shishen helped the queen mother to sit on the seat, and then sat down at the main seat. He looked around and said, "Today's family banquet, you don't need to be polite, just sit down."

Ye Jiu raised his head slightly, except for Chu Shishen, it was the first time for her to see the people who came just now, except for the queen mother and the virtuous king who could tell by their clothes and gender, she could do nothing for the other two concubines.

When Ye Jiu glanced over one of them, he met that person's eyes. Ye Jiu was startled, and quickly lowered his head.

"Today, the queen mother prays to the Buddha for blessings, so that I can prosper and the world will be peaceful, the people of Li can live and work in peace and contentment, and my descendants of the Chu family will continue to prosper."

Chu Shishen suddenly brought the topic back, "Now that the Weihe River has been affected by the disaster and the Tal clan is blocked outside the city, it's all God's blessing for my prosperity. I will drink with you all!"

After drinking a cup, Chu Shishen said again: "Father has entrusted me with great responsibility. I am terrified. I also hope that the two imperial brothers will help you with your lords, and entrust Kangsheng with a century-old foundation."

The Empress Dowager continued, "Yes, the emperor has a lot of things to do every day, and all the brothers need to share the burden."

After she finished speaking, she turned her eyes to King Xian and King Mu who were seated first, and King Mu raised his cup first, "I would like to do my little work for His Majesty."

Ye Jiu pursed his lips, this King Mu seemed to be open-minded, not at all jealous, on the contrary, he was generous, with his back straight.

The queen mother nodded in satisfaction, and then turned her gaze to King Xian, who was the former crown prince.

In fact, the interior of the Kangsheng Palace is a bit confusing. Now the queen mother is also the queen of the first emperor, and has no children under her knees, so neither the former prince nor Chu Shishen, nor Prince Mu is the son of the emperor, and the former prince and Chu Shishen's mother and concubine They all went early, and in the harem, only the third prince had support behind him.

As for why Concubine Zheng lost the opportunity in the end and let Chu Shishen catch the leak, Ye Jiu really couldn't figure it out.

Ye Jiu looked over, and saw Prince Xian slumped on a seat close to the floor, with his legs crossed, looking sluggish.

"Brother Yu is not talented, how can I assist the emperor to govern the country, and this king has been feeling very uncomfortable recently, I am afraid it will be difficult for him to do the job."

Chu Shishen's face was quiet for a moment, then he smiled and said, "Brother Huang is not feeling well, I'm afraid the house is too busy for Yingying Yanyan, so it's hard to lose weight."

King Xian's eyes were a little flustered, and his face froze, "What do you mean, Your Majesty?"

Chu Shishen smiled, "Brother Huang is a virtuous king, if he is not in good health, he may not be able to enjoy great blessings, hey, speaking of which, my Red Feather Army is well-trained, and it is most suitable for a brother like Huang to strengthen his body. "

King Xian's face turned green when he heard that, where is Chibane Camp?If you fish out any one, you can lay down ten strong men and stay there. It's not about strengthening your body, it's obviously an excuse to kill him.

He sat up at once, "Well...Your Majesty, brother, I still...let me give you some advice. You see, I can't carry it with my hands or shoulders, so I won't go to the Chibane Camp to cause trouble for Your Majesty."

Ye Jiu clenched his tongue when he heard this, the former prince is too cute, if he says he is cowardly, he is cowardly, without ambiguity at all.

"Xiao Jiu, don't be too arrogant..."

Xiao Lanfeng saw her trembling and holding back her laughter, and reminded her softly while holding the cup.

Hearing this, Ye Jiu immediately turned serious, raised his eyes slightly to see if anyone noticed him, but unexpectedly met the eyes of the Eighth Princess.

Ye Jiu was surprised for a moment, but before she could take a closer look, the Doubi Xian Wang started to make trouble again, "I see that there is a new face in this seat, it must be the new Chengjue's Marquis Zhenyuan. "

Hearing this, Ye Jiu withdrew his gaze, and slightly nodded at King Xian.

"Your Majesty has accepted the title, and I didn't give you any congratulatory gifts. I happened to meet you today, so I will give you this Concubine Xiang bamboo fan."

Ye Jiu was stunned for a moment, and so were the adults beside him.

Chu Shangzhang glanced sideways at Ye Jiu, then at Prince Xian who had recovered from Ge You's paralysis, and stroked his beard in silence.

Xiao Lanfeng glanced at her worriedly, and whispered in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "Xiao Jiu, I can't answer."

Ye Jiu came back to his senses and frowned.What Xiao Lanfeng said was right, the virtuous king gave him gifts in public, no matter whether he intended to solicit or not, he would ring a bell for Chu Shishen.

Ye Jiu thought for a while, stood up in the eyes of everyone, walked up to Lord Xian and knelt down, "Thank you, King Xian."

Then he took the fan from King Xian.

Xiao Lanfeng's face was flushed with anger, and he secretly glanced at Chu Shishen's expressionless face on the eye seat, feeling extremely worried in his heart.

King Xian looked at the handsome young man in front of him, smiled, and sat back paralyzed.

Ye Jiu was holding the fan in both hands, and was about to stand up and retreat when he heard a clear and pleasant female voice suddenly coming from Chu Shishen's direction.

"This must be Jin'er, I didn't expect to grow up so big."

Ye Jiu turned his head when he heard the words, and saw a luxurious woman in dark green palace attire beside the queen mother nodding to him, with a loving smile like an old mother on her face.

Ye Jiu didn't dare to say much, so he cast his eyes on Chu Shishen for help. Chu Shishen glanced at him, coughed lightly, and said:

"This is Concubine Zheng, whom Lin Qing met when she was a child."

The author has something to say: Before Shaoan got out of bed, he...

The crown prince and the third prince finally showed up. Do you two still remember Father Qi by the Daming Lake? What a miserable fish in a pond.
