After the scum of the enemy prince, I got pregnant

The official residence of the Marquis of Anping was finally repaired half a month later, and Fu Nanyin moved out from the East Palace, which was the intention of all the officials to avoid suspicion of the prince; After they moved into the Marquis' Mansion together, watching the court officials and palace attendants who came and went in and out during the day, everyone suddenly smelled something strange.

In the past, the minister of the Ministry of Rites was really lazy and didn't like to go to the political affairs hall to do his work, but if the people who came and went were only people from the Ministry of Rites, it would be fine, and it would be fine if Feng Neishi, who was next to the saint, occasionally passed on a message. Why did the Queen's Penglai Hall send people repeatedly To Anping Hou Mansion?

The Ministry of Rites seems to be doing some errands secretly without telling the government and the public.

As soon as this idea came out, Yushi Lantai, who kept his eyes on the officials every day and was most afraid of running errands secretly, was frightened.Inquiries from the court were flying all over the sky, and Yushitai squatted outside the Hou's mansion for a few days, and finally got a glimpse of two characters——

Palace feast.

How can there be a palace banquet in this year?

But soon everyone figured it out: Empress Xu has suffered for five years, and now it is indeed time to hold a palace banquet for her to get rid of the bad luck.

Then those censors who made a fuss were also relieved: the frequent sending of people by the saint and the empress to the government office of the Ministry of Rites made sense, this palace banquet was open and aboveboard, and there was nothing to hide.

Ning Shangshu moved the Ministry of Rites to the Hou Mansion, presumably because of laziness.

Only the colleagues in the Ministry of Rites listened to the ups and downs of speculation and discussions outside every day, and felt bitter in their hearts.What they are doing is more than a simple matter like a palace banquet?

Whether it is a family banquet for the queen, a hundred-day banquet for the eldest grandson of the emperor, or a wedding banquet for the prince, it is all a banquet, at least there is a regulation for reference.

The difficulty is clearly the gift list that was hired to the crown princess!

Originally, the Ministry of Rites also had regulations for this matter, and Zhao Shilang only needed to draw up a sample according to the precedents of the previous dynasty.However, the concubine who received the dowry was the person in charge of the entire Ministry of Rites, so when the subordinates drafted the list, they wrote it with trepidation for three days, for fear that if they drafted too little, Shangshu Ning would be unhappy, and if they drafted too much, it would break the rules.I thought this was already the hardest part, but who knows...

Unexpectedly, when the gift list was in the hands of Ning Shangshu, he frowned and said "too much"; when it was transferred to the crown prince, he lost his temper and thought it was too little.

This is repeated every day, and the people in the Ministry of Rites don't know whether to add or subtract, so they dragged the matter on for ten days.

I thought there was nothing more difficult than this, but who knows...

Who knew that Ning Shangshu finally blamed His Royal Highness for the indefiniteness of the gift list, thinking that His Highness came to the government office every day to make trouble and delay the work of the Ministry of Rites, so he drove him out of the main hall in a fit of anger.Since then, the colleagues in the Ministry of Rites really hadn't seen the prince, but before everyone could breathe a sigh of relief, they found that Ning Shangshu also seemed to see the head but not the end.

Until that day, Zhao Shilang took the official document and wanted to go to the inner courtyard of the Hou Mansion to find Shangshu Ning, but he saw Yao Guang, the prince's personal guard and beside Shangshu, with a serious face holding a shining big knife to block the outside, saying that the prince and Shangshu were in the house discussion.

Zhao Shuncai immediately understood——

The prince has something to do with the princess.

Perhaps the former Zhao Shuncai could still laugh for a while because of the charming thoughts in his head, but now as the Minister of Rites, he just wants to cry.

In this way, it came to the day of the palace banquet.

At the end of April, the rain gradually increased. From morning to night, the official road became muddy.

After the new time, all the gates of the four sides of Chang'an City were closed, which was a curfew.About an hour later, there was a sound of chariots rolling down the road on the official road outside the west city gate.

"Open the gate."

Very strange.

After the curfew, except those who hold the imperial decree and the urgent military report, they are not allowed to enter the city. It is a well-known rule in the world.The imperial guard held a torch in his hand, and was aiming at the person who leaned half out of the carriage. Under the curtain of night and rain, he looked somewhat familiar, as if...

"Is the person here His Royal Highness the King of Linzi?"

Where the torches couldn't reach, there was a person caged in the shadow behind the imperial guards. Li Jiao didn't know when he appeared, but the familiar voice made him immediately react.

"Servant Ke?"

Li Jiao has been hiding the news of Fu Nanyin's punishment for a long time, but who knows that the last thing that comes is Zhaoxue and Fu Nanyin's life experience of the Xu family case five years ago.Ke Shunzhe was sent to prison, the court changed, and everything seemed to happen overnight... He handed over an unknown number of confessions to the Daming Palace, but it was like a stone sinking into the sea.

Funanyin is definitely not a benevolent person and will not make him feel better.Li Jiao knew that there was a knife hanging on his head, but he didn't want to be slaughtered by others. If the mountain doesn't come, I will go, and if I come, I will go to the mountain. That's why I came back to Beijing on the day of the palace banquet. Face, will not let him into the city.

But he didn't expect his former supporter Ke Shunzhe to appear here.

no, no...

"Aren't you being detained in Dali Temple now..."

The person in the shadows slowly walked into the light, the scarlet court clothes were stained with rain, and the color was deeply stained.Some clues appeared in Ke Shunzhe's sleeve, bright yellow, which made Li Jiao in the carriage suddenly realize something.

It's not accidental that Ke Shunzhe appeared here, as if he was here deliberately waiting for him.

The saint has already known his whereabouts, and the guards guarding the gate will not pass the word for him to enter the palace. Everything tonight will end here, because...

"The sage has a decree, please accept the decree from the Sixth Highness."

He didn't explain anything to Li Jiao, but unfolded the two imperial edicts in his hand one by one, and read them calmly with the sound of rain.

These are two imperial edicts, both of which are in a few words.

Together, Lingnan County was changed to a fief, and the king of Lingnan was granted, and the food town remained unchanged.

One allowed him to continue to be the king of Linzi, but he was never allowed to enter Chang'an again.

Li Jiao froze for a long time.

Kneeling in the rain, he suddenly gave a dry laugh, and murmured: "Never return to Chang'an?"

In the past two months, he didn't know where he was hiding. He became thinner and emaciated a lot. Now that he was exposed to the rain again, he looked even weaker.Was it the old master? Ke Shunzhe sighed slightly, and stretched out his hand to help Li Jiao up from the ground, but he suddenly asked:

"Today's palace banquet...won't you let me go and see the palace banquet?"

Ke Shunzhe paused, "If Your Highness accepts the first imperial decree, he will naturally be allowed to enter the palace."

The first decree, he could still see Brother Pei tonight, but from now on, he would go to a remote place with no people to spend the rest of his life.

But it's better than the second decree, never seeing each other again.

Li Jiao never knew that his father was so cruel, his knuckles turned white when he was holding the hem of his clothes, and finally he smiled wryly, "Okay, I will take the first edict."

He stretched out two hands, but Ke Shunzhe didn't give them to him, but the palms of his hands were heavy with rainwater.

"I dare to advise you, there is still a long way to go, Your Highness had better let go of your obsessions, and don't go astray."

"At the palace banquet today, the sage has already married the prince and Funanyin."

Li Jiao was stunned for a moment, then raised his head abruptly, as if he found it inconceivable, but at the same time extremely ridiculous.

"Marriage? Ke Shunzhe... What are you talking nonsense! How do two men get married? Can this be used to fool the king?"

"Whether you believe it or not, Funanyin is now a princess..." Ke Shunzhe was halfway through, when Li Jiao on the ground suddenly stood up, stretched out his hand to hold his skirt tightly, and there was a look of extreme pain in the end of his eyes under the light. Forbearing red.

"He is also worthy of the word 'princess'? No one in this world is worthy of being Brother Pei's concubine...It's ridiculous, he is a man, he is also a man, why can he..."

"Your Highness..."

Ke Shunzhe was still holding the imperial decree tightly in his hands, and seeing Li Jiao like this for no reason, the appearance of being neither arrogant nor impatient and welcoming with a smiling face in his memory suddenly broke, and he became crazy and unbearable.

"Your Highness!" He said in a low voice, disappointed and helpless. "That's all I said. It's up to you whether you want to be the king of Linzi or the king of Lingnan in the future. It's just that the saint is waiting for the minister to return to the palace and return to the palace. There is no delay."

"Think about it carefully."

"King of Lingnan...King of Linzi..." Li Jiao's hand suddenly touched the imperial decree in Ke Shunzhe's arms, and he immediately withdrew his hand like a fire, and the Lingtai seemed to wake up for a moment.

Ke Shunzhe's face in the rain was shrewd and smooth, and he was destined to succeed in his official career.This person once tried his best to plan for himself, but unfortunately at that time the saint used him as a sword and a chess piece, so he used Ke Shunzhe as a sword and a chess piece.

"Prince..." He moved his lips and suddenly spit out two words.

If he hadn't been a saint's knife...

"what?"

"... nothing... nothing." Li Jiao slowly wiped the rainwater from his hands, and then pulled out one of the edicts.

"If there was no Xu family case, there would be no quarrel between you and the crown prince. I know you are economical, but the crown prince is willing to let you out regardless of past grievances. Sure enough... you are more suitable for that seat."

"I……"

"I will be in Linzi in the future, waiting to see how the emperor's brother will rule the world in peace, Haiyan and Heqing."

The gate of the city was opened suddenly, and another carriage slowly came out in the night, the wall of the chariot-carved car was engraved with the style of Daming Palace, and the driver was the Jinwu Guard General Shen who was beside the saint.

"The sage has a decree. If His Royal Highness still chooses Linzi, then allow Concubine Zhang to join His Royal Highness and leave immediately."

……

Outside the city is rainy and sad, but inside the palace is full of wine and silk bamboo.

It's just that the arrangement of the four places is too festive.Although it is a happy event for the Empress to return to the Penglai Hall, the layout of the Hanyuan Hall is really weird, like...

The ministers were taken aback at first, and then searched their brains for a long time before finally thinking of a description: It's like the wedding banquet of the emperor and queen's wedding, although it was joyful, it was full of grandeur.

Naturally, they were not eligible to attend the emperor's wedding banquet.But the problem is, even if it's for the queen, it doesn't have to be this far, right?

But the people in the Ministry of Rites just smiled wryly, and remained silent about the confusion of their colleagues.

It's just that I can't understand it, but there is something even weirder tonight: until before the banquet, the Minister of Rites, Fu Nanyin, who has been busy organizing the palace banquet for a whole month, did not show up.

There are quite a few ministers who moved their minds and wanted to show their faces in front of Ning Hou Ye and Ning Shangshu. In the hall-there were no people at the table of the third-rank court officials, and no one was seen at the table of the princes and clan relatives, and the officials said that he Today is clearly not a day off.

In addition, those who were sharp-eyed and bold enough to think about it found out that the table of His Highness the Crown Prince was also empty.

Should not be!

How dare you!

This is a palace banquet...!

It wasn't until Feng Neishi sang the word "Banquet" that the officials with their own concerns came back from their thoughts, raised their heads in silence, and saw a smile on the sage's always serious face, and so did Empress Xu.

It has been five years since the courtiers saw the emperor and empress sitting together, and seeing the two of them still respecting each other as guests, it seemed that nothing had changed.

"Today's banquet for all the gentlemen is for two happy events in my family, but it is also a state affair, and I want to take it out to have fun with the Qing family."

Two happy events?

Or state affairs?

"The eldest grandson of the emperor has celebrated a hundred days today, so we should celebrate together..."

The first birthday of the emperor's grandson, Guozuo Fangxi.

It was indeed a great joyous event for the whole world to celebrate, but the people in the Hanyuan Hall didn't know whether they should laugh first or startle first, or ask a question first, where did the eldest grandson of the emperor come from? !

The saint didn't seem to care about the reaction of the ministers, and continued: "I have already named her Huaiqiong..."

Li Huaiqiong, Huaiyao Xiang and Peiqiong.The several names proposed by the Ministry of Rites were very good. With the help of Fu Nanyin, the saint didn't bother much, so he used this name to put Ah Fei on the royal family's genealogy.

But at this time, the ministers and workers at the banquet were about to explode, and all their faces were hesitant to speak. After finally waiting for the sage to finish speaking, he finally dared to ask:

"Sage, who is the son of... the eldest grandson of the emperor? As far as I know, the crown prince has not accepted any daughters into the East Palace these years..."

No wife or concubine, where will the child come from? !

The sage glanced at the courtier who spoke, but didn't react. He just took the wine bottle handed over by Empress Xu, and smiled faintly,

"As for the second matter, Minister Feng, declare the decree."

Everyone at the table: "..."

I thought the sage had just made up his mind to talk to himself, and the censors were still thinking about how to give advice for a while, and asked clearly the identity of the emperor's grandson and his biological mother.If it doesn't work, you can start with the prince.This is a major matter related to Guozuo, how can he be sloppy?Of course we have to figure it out.

Thinking of this, some servants immediately reacted——

Why isn't the prince here at the hundred-day feast of the emperor's eldest grandson?

Not even Ning Shangshu is there...

The relationship between these two people is no secret in the court. Ning Shangshu lived in the East Palace for so long before, so could it be that he didn't know about the existence of this child?

Today's banquet was organized by Ning Shangshu alone. Don't you know that this is a hundred-day banquet prepared for the eldest grandson of the emperor?

must know.

It must be that he knew that the child born to the prince and someone else was named the eldest grandson of the emperor, and he wanted to hold a banquet for this child, so it was normal to leave the banquet angrily; …

The fire of gossip among the ministers was raging, and it was about to start a prairie fire. They were thinking that the saint's second happy event today might be the canonization of the birth mother of the eldest grandson of the emperor.

as predicted.

Feng Neishi proclaimed the decree in a calm voice, neither high nor low, mentioned "Birth of the eldest grandson", mentioned some useless compliments, and finally said the word "Give marriage".

Everyone was stunned.

This is the main wife, the crown princess.

It seems that she is also a daughter of a famous family, but it is a pity that she is pregnant before she is married... The rotten scholars in the palace shook their heads in disapproval, but on the other hand, they were even more curious about which family's daughter it was.

Generally, women's boudoir names will not be written on the imperial decree, and everyone can only spy on one or two through one surname.

I was in a hurry when I suddenly heard a familiar name.

Fu Nanyin.

It was a collision of names - this was the first thought in everyone's mind.

It's a pity that I don't know who drafted this imperial decree, as if I was afraid that others would not know which Fu Nanyin it was, so I had to add "Anping Hou" or "Book of Rites" in front of the name. Hit it hard.After the imperial decree was announced, everyone in the hall who listened to the decree was finally stunned.

So when the crown prince in full attire took Fu Nanyin's hand into the palace to receive the order, everyone was still wondering, Fu Nanyin gave birth to the eldest grandson of the emperor?He is the princess?

But how could he be the princess?

How can the princess be a man?This is simply an absurd thing that has never been heard in ancient times. Could it be that the saint is also confused?When two men get married, is it necessary to make the royal family last forever?

but……

But Funanyin gave birth to the eldest grandson of the emperor!

"Zhao Shilang, why has the edict been announced for so long, and there is still no movement?"

The colleagues in the Ministry of Rites whispered to Zhao Shuncai with some unease—but if you listen carefully, you can hear the suspicious eagerness and anticipation in his tone: "According to common sense, at this time, those old guys in Yushitai who eat salty carrots and don't worry Shouldn't you start admonishing them?"

They deliberately polished the pillars of Hanyuan Hall until they were shining brightly, and waited for Qin Yushi to lead someone to hit the pillars.

However, a quarter of an hour passed, and the palace was calm.

"Is there no one to object to the marriage?"

After half an hour passed, the doctor of the Ministry of Rites also sighed with some disappointment.

When Zhao Shuncai heard this, his brows trembled, "Why, do you still want to object?"

The doctor hurriedly waved his hand and explained, "No, no, it's not that His Royal Highness ordered the subordinate officials to prepare several strategies to deal with Yushitai's comments, and the subordinate officials wrote more than ten copies after many days of night battles by referring to the "Art of War". I thought it would come in handy. Who knew Yushitai was so useless?"

Zhao Shilang: "..."

……

At that time, Funanyin was sitting on Li Pei's prince's banquet, sipping the touhua rice cakes he had prepared on the banquet for "use of power for personal gain".When he took the last bite, Li Pei saw his pale pink tongue lick the white horse beans that had leaked out of the white porcelain spoon.

"..."

Terrible.

There were two red glass cups placed in front of the table, and the waiter filled them with dark red wine.Maybe it was because the food just now was too sticky, Fu Nanyin picked up the wine cup and took a big gulp.

From this moment on, something was wrong with Li Pei.

For a while, he looked at the empress who was lowering his head to tease Ah Fei, and then glanced at the officials below from the corner of his eye. When he saw Zhao Shuncai, he suddenly pursed his lips uncomfortably.

"what happened to you?"

Feeling that bony hand wrap around her waist, Funanyin was slightly taken aback.

"Do you think this scene...is familiar?"

Li Pei's tone was also a little strange.

Funanyin looked at him more and more suspiciously, but at this moment, there were only three things in Li Pei's eyes——

Red dress, beauty, glazed cup.

It all seemed to start with a mistake at the East Garden Spring Banquet a year ago, but Li Pei knew that the story between him and Fu Nanyin started earlier than he imagined.

"A Yin drank this glass of wine just now, I think you and I will hug each other for three years."

"What are you talking about..." Funanyin froze in shock, as if some embarrassing memory was emerging.After a while, his complexion became a little ugly. "You mean...there's something in this wine?"

If it is true what Li Pei said, there is something wrong with the drinks at the banquet, he, the Minister of Rites, will probably take the blame...

"Is this true? How do you know?"

Seeing how nervous he was, Li Pei smiled and said, "A Yin called 'good husband' and I'll tell you."

"..." This is false.

Funanyin breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, but she didn't show it on her face, she called out in a low voice: "Good husband..."

Satisfied, Li Pei couldn't help tightening his arms around Fu Nanyin's waist: "Silly Ayin, of course it's fake."

"..."

"But it's true to hug two for three years."

"..."

Maybe even Li Pei doesn't know how many years ago and how this entangled story started.

But that's okay, at least they can see the end.

The red glazed cups exchanged cups and drank together. For a moment, it seemed that there was no more intertwining of cups and chaotic ears, and only the voices of the two remained.

"I love you, Yin."

Until the white head.

"I love you, Li Pei."

Until we grow old together.
