happy life through time

Chapter 124 The Palace Feast 2

The carved jade pillars and the magnificent palace built with exquisite workmanship carried a solemn atmosphere. At this time, there was a festive atmosphere coming from inside.

At this moment, the palace was full of singing and dancing, and the emperor held a grand banquet to welcome the return of the eleven princes. If it wasn't for the rush of time, he really wanted to celebrate with the whole world.

At the banquet, the emperor praised the Eleventh Prince, and promised to give him a name when he was weak, and to give Dugu Eleven the mansion that has not been repaired.

Eleven has always been in a flat mood, neither happy nor angry.

The emperor looked at it and sighed secretly.

At this time, no matter what he did, Eleven would never forgive him.

However, things had happened, and he didn't regret taking the medicine.

The sixth prince seemed to see the embarrassment of the emperor, stood up and walked aside with a smile, and said: "Father, the eleventh brother has not come back for many years, so I must not get used to it. How about this, father, let the son take the eleventh brother away Let's go, let him get acquainted."

The emperor looks like he is five or sixty years old, but he seems to be lacking in energy, with more energy than energy, his eyes are cloudy, and he has long lost the shrewdness and wisdom of his youth. He seems very tired, but he just loves you. There is a faint sense of ambition and forbearance in her bare face, which makes people dare not underestimate her.

The current emperor of Dayan is already the tenth emperor, named Hongjing.

In the early days, he had created Dayan's peaceful and prosperous age. However, at this time, although Dayan was still peaceful, it was far worse than before. This is closely related to his inaction. for the fall.

At the beginning, Emperor Hongjing was also a capable emperor, with strategies and opinions, completely different from him now.

If it weren't for the palace change more than ten years ago, he would not have become like this.

It is rumored by outsiders that Emperor Hongjing's beloved died during that palace change, so Emperor Hongjing's whole person changed. However, there were too many people who died that time, and no one knew, including many concubines of Emperor Hongjing. Who is the person that Emperor Jing deeply loves? Except for such rumors, there was no related action at all after that. However, after Emperor Hongjing changed, he left out the eleven princes in the cold, and all his children died in the harem. But they didn't care about it, so that until now, there are very few descendants of Emperor Hongjing.

Emperor Hongjing just cared that they would not fight each other and put Dayan Kingdom in an embarrassing situation. For the rest of the time, it was mostly his subordinates who had the final say.

During that period of time, it was really a dark matter of Emperor Hongjing. If it wasn’t for the strong national power of the Great Yan Kingdom, the administration of civil and military officials would still operate as usual. Fortunately, Emperor Hongjing has recovered and has gradually regained the style of the past. Many ministers were relieved. If this continues, Dayan really doesn't know what will happen.

However, even so, the emperor was old and the harem was unable to support him, so he tried his best to protect his child.

He glanced at the sixth prince, smiled gratifiedly and said: "Okay, Yu Zheng, you will give me eleven for me, get to know this place well, and get to know more people, it will always be beneficial."

Yu Zheng is the name of the sixth prince, and generally only the emperor would call him that.

Eleven stood up, did not refuse, and said slowly: "I'm sorry, Brother Huang."

"Where, where, it's my happiest thing that you can come back. Let's go, I'll take you there to have a look. I'll take you to see Brother Dahuang, he also misses you very much."

"Thank you, Brother Six, I may not have seen Big Brother for a long time. Father, my son, leave!"

"Farewell, son!" The two bid farewell to Emperor Hongjing, who waved his hands and did not speak much.

The two walked towards the eldest prince Dugu Jinghan together.

Dugu Jinghan looked around excitedly, his eyeballs rolling slowly.

With a handsome face and standing at thirty, this is the time when a man is mature and stable, but at this moment he is like a child, having fun with his subordinates.

"Haha, I won, hurry up, fine wine, fine wine!" Dugu Jinghan laughed loudly, and poured a glass of wine into the mouth of the minister beside him, who coughed non-stop.

"You see, you're really useless, you can't even take a sip of wine. Ah Si, hurry up and pour the wine!"

"Yes, Your Highness."

The young servant walking beside the prince immediately poured him a glass of wine, and the eldest prince was still playing games with the ministers.

Eleven walked over and offered a glass of wine to the prince: "Brother Emperor, I offer you a glass."

The prince looked back at Eleven, did not speak, and then his eyes lit up: "Are you also here to play with me? Come, come, come!"

Eleven took advantage of the trend and walked over, leaving the sixth prince standing there alone.

The sixth prince took eleven glances calmly, and approached with a gloomy face.

Everything seemed so peaceful and natural, the three of them were like long-lost relatives, drinking and chatting, most of the laughter came from the prince Dugu Jinghan, it was just what everyone thought in their hearts, and no one It can be seen.

The banquet continued, and singing and dancing were promoted. I don't know who started it. Everyone tried their best to perform at the banquet and show their demeanor. If they can win the first place, the rewards will be very rich.

Gu Qingcheng stepped forward and bowed: "Your Majesty, my servant has a song and dance, and I want to dedicate it to His Royal Highness Eleven."

Emperor Hongjing glanced at Gu Qingcheng, saw her Qingcheng's face, his eyes lit up, and he smiled slightly: "Okay, okay."

When Gu Qingcheng came to the stage, the lotus steps moved lightly, and the bells under his feet jingled, which was enough to attract the attention of others, but the voice did not appear chaotic, but had a peculiar rhythm, which made Gu Qingcheng even more charming. Most of the men in the room became obsessed with watching her. She prepared a guzheng and put it on the stage. However, she was different from others in that her guzheng was hung on her body.

Then she glanced at Eleven, but Eleven didn't look at her. Gu Qingcheng didn't care, but was a little unhappy, but this is Eleven. If Eleven was really like others, he wouldn't be able to treat him Lianlian never forgets.

"Eleven, I will let you see my style."

After speaking softly, he shook his body and plucked the strings with his fingers. Surprisingly, there was no mixed sound from the strings. Even Gu Qingcheng's graceful body moving around did not change the sound of the guzheng.

The sound came out slowly, like the sound of nature, and the bells under the feet rang rhythmically. With the music, the silver bells were melodious, like beads falling on a jade plate, and the lingering sound made people mesmerized.

Gu Qingcheng's appearance has already attracted attention and has enough aura.

She seems to be very suitable on stage, facing this kind of scene, there is no slightest faux pas.

"She knows how to put on a show, huh!" Among the famous girls, there are many people who can't understand Gu Qingcheng. At this moment, it is a girl around 20 years old who is sitting among the girls. However, what she said is not Loud, seems to be just venting casually and doesn't care.

The reason why she is called a girl is because she is not yet married.

It is very rare for a 20-year-old unmarried person, and she is a famous old lady in the capital.

At this time, some people sneered at Gu Qingcheng's performance, and she was even worse. She admitted that Gu Qingcheng was indeed beautiful and talented, but she didn't like Gu Qingcheng's behavior.

She is Cui Shu, the daughter of Cui Hao, Minister of the Household Department.

Cui Shu has always disliked Gu Qingcheng, of course, there is a reason for this.

Cui Shu's father and Wang Dingjun's father are good friends in the family, and the two have gotten better since they were born in the womb. If they are a man and a woman, they will become husband and wife, so they are related by baby.

However, because of Gu Qingcheng, Wang Dingjun disregarded everyone's objections and proposed to withdraw the engagement. Cui Shu became a joke in the capital. Until now, she has never married.

Cui Shu naturally hated Gu Qingcheng, but she hated Wang Dingjun even more.

But no matter what, these two people, she will not wait to see them.

So, Cui Shu just complained, and continued to sit there, talking quietly with her girlfriends.

"Fourth sister, what's the matter with you? Usually, you are not so impatient."

Cui Shu's younger sister, Cui Yu moved towards her.

"It's nothing, maybe it's because of the anger recently!"

"Fourth sister, in fact, it's nothing. Mother let me take a look and find a man for you."

"Fifth sister, what nonsense are you talking about?"

"I'm not talking nonsense, you didn't watch, brother Qin has been watching you!" Cui Yu teased.

She ranks fifth and is the youngest daughter in the family. However, because her fourth sister has never been married, she has no chance to marry. You know, she is already seventeen. Someone came to propose marriage, but there is an older sister. The reason why he was married and she was married, so he had to ask his sister to leave the cabinet before he could talk about his marriage.

"Fourth sister, can you take a look?"

Cui Shu laughed and followed the direction she pointed, and indeed saw a young man.

The young man is about 26 years old. His surname is Qin. He is Qin Dongci, the eldest son of Qin. He already has a son in his family. Although his wife passed away two years ago, Cui Shu has no plans to become a successor. .

Seeing that Cui Shu didn't pay attention to him, Qin Dongci sighed.

"Young Master Qin."

When Qin Dongci heard the voice, he looked over immediately, and when he saw the person coming, he got up and respectfully said, "Your Highness Sixth."

"Master Qin, you don't need to be too polite, do you mind if I sit here?"

"The Sixth Highness is serious, please sit down, please sit down!"

The sixth prince sat down beside Qin Dongci.

"Mr. Qin, I heard that Master Cui Hao intentionally pointed out the Fourth Miss of the Cui family to Master Li. I wonder if you heard about it?" The sixth prince didn't wait for Qin Dongci to speak, and said again: "Hey, it's a pity. I thought that with Miss Cui Jia's talent and being a concubine daughter, no matter how you say it, she shouldn't be Mrs. Li's side wife, but... eh..."

The sixth prince sighed again and again, but Qin Dongci's face became darker and darker.

Why hasn't he heard of this matter?

Although he also felt that it might be the method of the Sixth Prince, he had to say that what the Sixth Prince said reached his heart. He was interested in Cui Shu, but because of his wife's death, he was unable to marry a wife. He may not be able to see the position of the stepmother. Judging from the way Master Cui loves his daughter, he will not let his daughter become someone else's stepmother.

But why, Master Cui would let his daughter become Master Li's side wife, it doesn't make sense!

Could it be that something happened that made Master Cui have to do this?

Qin Dongci had doubts in his heart, and he couldn't control it, the more he seemed, the more confused he became.

Thinking of what happened recently, I still have no clue.

And the sixth prince stopped talking and stopped talking: "Young master Qin, I'll go over there, the eleventh brother still needs me!"

Qin Dongci looked at the sixth prince's back, his face uncertain.
