The next day, Xiao's mother, Xiao Boyuan and several in-laws and ministers brought their family members into the palace to participate in the spring feast hosted by the emperor and empress.

It is said to appreciate spring, but in fact it has already arrived in early summer.Moreover, Xiao Canghai was not keen on this kind of thing in the past, except for calling his wife into the palace to pay his respects every month, he rarely held such small banquets in the harem.But this year, for some reason, the queen suddenly ordered a few days ago to hold a spring feast at the end of spring and the beginning of summer.

Because the opportunities are rare, the people who received the posts were very proud and happy, and felt that their simplicity was in the emperor's heart and favored by the emperor, so they all attended in grand attire and were extremely cautious.

The banquet was held in Chunxi Hall.Outside is the most beautiful imperial garden in the harem. Although it is not accompanied by the water of Taiye Lake, it is full of flowers and pleasing to the eye.

Not long after everyone was seated, the emperor and queen came together.

Once the two of them wore dragon robes, they looked majestic with a tiger's pace, solemn and dignified.The other person is dressed in a long robe, handsome and smiling, elegant and calm.

As a queen, to be by the emperor's side on such a small public occasion, she must dress gracefully and luxuriously.But Xiao Canghai is a man, so he can't wear so many colorful ornaments surrounded by jewels on his head and body.He just wore a solemn and cumbersome queen's costume, with a few more jade rings, and an exquisite and gorgeous emerald and red bead inlaid crown on the top, which actually gave him a sense of overwhelming beauty.

When the two sat down, the queen gave the emperor a hand.Although this movement is small, it cannot be concealed from the eyes of shrewd people.

Xiao's mother and Xiao Boyuan sat close to each other, and they could clearly see an obvious red mark on the neck below the emperor's left ear, which could not be covered even if he was wearing a spring high-necked gown.

The mother and son were horrified and watched the person above them calmly.

At this moment, Yang Jing secretly groaned in his heart.Last night, Xiao Canghai pinned her down on the bed and tossed her hard, and this morning her back was sore that she didn't feel like her own.And Xiao Canghai planted a lot of 'strawberries' on him at some point, and they were all in the obvious place, but he couldn't hide it at all when he held this kind of small banquet today and got along with everyone at close range.

This was obviously calculated by Xiao Canghai.

In fact, Yang Jing knew it well.He didn't care about letting his subjects know how much he loved Xiao Canghai, not only was he his queen, but he was also Xiao Canghai's person.Anyone who wants to shake the Queen's position must carefully consider it.

But even though he wanted to cooperate, Yang Jing couldn't help but change his face when he sat down.

He was not like Xiao Canghai who had given birth to two children, and he took internal and external medicine all year round for recuperation, and his acupoints had already adapted to how to have sex.Poor his emperor's "Dragon Cave" has been tossed all night, it is really fragile at this time, but he can't delay the banquet at court, it's really "like sitting on pins and needles".

At the beginning of the banquet, the empress thoughtfully removed all the emperor's wine glasses and ordered someone to replace them with tea.

The emperor coughed lightly and whispered, "Don't be so careful, right?"

Xiao Canghai smiled leisurely, and said consolingly: "It's better to be careful. If you feel uncomfortable, I will feel sorry for you."

While enjoying his concern, Yang Jing muttered softly: "It's too obvious to do this..."

This time, the emperor himself was really calculated, not only his face was gone, but his face was almost gone.

The closer the seat is to the emperor and queen, the more noble the status and the more sensitive the mind.Except Kang Wang wishing to stay away from his imperial brother, everyone else carefully noticed the little details of the emperor and empress.Some were still puzzled, seeing the bright red on the back of the hand that looked like tooth marks when the emperor picked up the teacup, they couldn't help but have a vague guess.

Although the emperor was 'suppressed' by the queen, which lost his dignity and decency, but if the relationship between same-sex couples is good, some things are unavoidable.Moreover, there are no fewer emperors who accepted male concubines in the past dynasties. Emperor Wen of Qin even gave birth to a child as a man in the previous dynasty. Therefore, this incident is just to shock everyone to the real weight of the queen in the heart of the emperor, but it is not too big. disgusted.What's more, Emperor Shenghui's might was so powerful that no one dared to provoke him at all.

Xiao Canghai made some concealed pretentiousness to let everyone understand why the emperor's expression is not very good today.I didn't make it clear but achieved my goal, and I was very satisfied in my heart.

But it's not over yet.Not long after the banquet started, the crown prince and the second prince arrived.

The princes of Dasheng did not set an age for formally meeting the ministers.But mostly after the age of ten, they will slowly walk out of the deep palace and show themselves in front of everyone.Of course, there will be some exceptions depending on the emperor's love, but basically the young princes are raised in the deep palace.

But the status of the prince is special.

Yang Rong was established as the crown prince when he was a baby, and he is currently the sole heir of Emperor Shenghui. Therefore, after he turned six years old in December last year, Yang Jing took him to show up at the annual banquet.So these dignitaries are no strangers to the prince.

It was the first time that the Second Prince Yang Jian appeared in front of the officials more formally.

The prince and Yang Jian came here after class.Both of them have changed their clothes and washed them, and they are luxuriously tidy and clean. One is handsome and the other is cute. From a distance, the two brothers are five or six points alike.

The prince walked steadily, and it was not the first time he faced such an occasion. He respectfully saluted the emperor and queen, and then sat in the first seat under the emperor.

This was the first time Yang Jian participated in this kind of banquet.However, he was young, with a pure personality, and he grew up under the pampering of his father, so he didn't feel nervous or afraid. He saluted generously after his brother, and sat in the second seat below the empress with a smile. superior.

There was no distinction between men and women in this family banquet. Foreign ministers sat in the row to the left of the emperor, and female relatives sat in the row to the right of the queen.Dasheng's defense between men and women is not that rigorous, and the atmosphere is relaxed and happy.

The so-called appreciation of spring at the banquet, in fact, it is impossible to go to the imperial garden to hang out like a garden, but the surrounding halls are covered with blooming spring flowers of various colors, which are full of spring, and lively and lively in early summer. song and dance performances.

Xiao Canghai was a very elegant person, he came from a wealthy family, and his vision and knowledge were extremely extraordinary.The songs, dances and music arranged by him in person at the Ritual Music Hall also deliberately included folk songs and characteristic dances from the north and south of the Yangtze River.

The prince and Yang Jian watched with great interest.Especially for a drum performance in the south, Yang Jian couldn't help being very excited to see those young boys and girls with waist drums on, dancing youthful and lively drumming dances on the spring flower platform outside the hall.

As soon as the show ended, he couldn't wait to say: "Father, father, and son also want that drum."

Yang Jing smiled and said, "What do you want that for? Do you want to learn too?"

Yang Jian nodded vigorously.

Yang Jing said to the people behind him: "Go, get the second prince a waist drum."

The little eunuch went down and took it back after a while.

Yang Jian held it with both hands, staring and said: "It's so big, it's so heavy."

Yang Jing laughed loudly, and said, "Jian'er, show it to Father."

Yang Jian struggled to hold the waist drum and walked to the emperor's side.

Yang Jing picked up the waist drum with one hand, weighed it, and said, "It's a bit heavy, you can't carry it now, let's play it when you grow up."

Yang Jian puffed his cheeks and said unconvinced: "My son will grow up soon. Father, please leave it to me."

Yang Jing thought for a while and said, "Okay, I'll keep it in the palace for you to play with. But don't waste your studies because of this."

Yang Jian nodded excitedly.

Yang Jing asked people to send the waist drum to the second prince's bedroom, put his arms around him and sat beside him, and said: "Come on, you can sit here and watch the show with the emperor, okay?"

"it is good."

He had a calm and casual attitude, while instructing the little eunuch behind him to help him with food, while talking to the emperor, he didn't feel nervous at all, obviously he was used to sitting beside his father.
