I'm a bully in troubled times

On the emperor's birthday, Zhao Di and Shi Xiang led civil and military officials into the palace to celebrate the birthday of the Marquis of Jin.

The Marquis of Jin is wearing a black mianfu today, with twelve chapter patterns painted on it, a black cloth crown, and a colorful crown belt. The bead on the crown is lightly bumped with his steps, making a crisp sound.The young faces of the princes are immature, but they do not lose their dignity.With a calm and dignified posture, he walked out from behind the bead curtain and looked straight at the officials in the hall.

The queen was wearing a white dress, standing on the left side of Ji Mengming, holding his hand and came slowly, her beautiful face was slightly powdered, showing her unparalleled complexion and grace.The lotus steps moved slightly, and the hem of the skirt swayed like water waves.

Behind the two of them, a nanny walked up with the little boy who was only a few months old.

When the monarch came, all the officials knelt down, only one person did not kneel down.Everyone had different thoughts, they all looked at that person in unison, but it was Shi Xiang.Shi Xiang's injuries were not healed, and even a kneeling movement was very strenuous.But it's strange that he insisted on getting up to celebrate Ji Mengming's birthday while dragging his chest injury.

After all, with Shi Xiang's personality, if he had such an excellent excuse, then of course he would not come if he could, and I don't know what his intentions were.

Ji Mengming glanced at Shi Xiang lightly, clenched his hands under the sleeves unconsciously, and whispered a command to the servant beside him.The servant immediately raised his voice and said, "Mian Shiqing saluted and gave me a seat."

"Thank you, Your Highness Ron."

Although Ji Mengming wished Shi Xiang would die on his knees, he could only hold back and searched for Jiang Yu in the crowd.Jiang Yu knelt in front of the envoys from various countries, followed by two servants with their heads bowed.

The husband and wife sat on the throne hand in hand, and the servants sang the lyrics, asking all the officials to be free from courtesy.

The ruling Zhao Di entered the royal wine, knelt down at the head of all civil and military officials, and read a congratulatory speech to Ji Mengming:

"Civil and military officials and ministers and others pay homage a hundred times. The ministers and others are too big to celebrate. I would like to celebrate the ten-million-year-old birthday. I wish His Royal Highness eternal blessings and health. May our country be prosperous and peaceful for a lifetime."

This is a process that Zhao Di is familiar with, and everything is at his fingertips.But this time, he had a different idea in his heart - why is he the one kneeling here, but not the one sitting on it to accept the worship of all the officials?

But Ji Mengming looked at Zhao Di, who was kneeling under His Highness, and felt different - this old thing has been poisoned, and he won't live long, so why bother?Kneeling is kneeling, but it is clear that the mind is not here, it is clearly disrespectful to him.

After reading the congratulatory speeches, all civil and military bureaucrats took their seats, the governors, clansmen, forbidden followers, and envoys and deputy envoys of Yan, Song, Wei and other countries sat in the hall, all the ministers and officials sat on the two corridors, and below the scholar-bureaucrats, they sat on the top of the mountain tower. outside.

All parts of the music square in the hall play qin, sheng, xiao, xun, chime bells and other musical instruments.The dancers of His Royal Highness are graceful, like flying dragons and phoenixes.

With such a state of singing and dancing, it is hard to imagine what kind of troubled times this is.

"Shi Xiang was so seriously injured that he even came to the Marquis of Jin's birthday banquet."

Hearing Qi Ranming's whisper in his ear, Jiang Yu smiled softly: "Can he not be in a hurry when he hears that Zhao Di is going to force the palace? After fighting for so many years, if Zhao Di takes the lead, he can die of anger."

"Jin Hou seems to be looking at you."

"Let him see, anyway, after today, it will be difficult for him to see me again."

Qi Ranming looked at Ji Mengming, and said again: "Will Zhao Di Shixiang put him under house arrest, or kill him?"

Jiang Yu tilted his head slightly, and instead of answering Qi Ranming's question, he asked in a low voice, "Bored?"

Qi Ranming took a jujube tower from the watch plate and stuffed it into his mouth, watched the singing and dancing in the hall and said: "I have heard these for several years, and there has been no change for so many years. Now I am playing "Longevity and Eternity", and the next one is "Shou Nanshan Slow", and the next one is "Celebrating Birthday and Joy Slowly"... I even wrote down the order of the songs."

Jiang Yu couldn't help laughing in a low voice.

Now the music was loud, all the officials were whispering to each other, and Jiang Yu's smile didn't seem unusually abrupt.

"If you don't like listening to it, just eat something. I didn't eat anything in the morning." Jiang Yu said.

There are melon and fruit snacks such as ring cakes, jujube towers, water chestnuts, peaches and plums on the plate.

"This date tower is quite sweet." Qi Ranming said.

The feudal lords' birthday banquet had a cumbersome and complicated process, playing music, giving royal wine, playing music, giving royal wine... After a few back and forth, the banquet finally began.

"Zhou Li" records that the diet of the Son of Heaven includes six grains, six animals, and six pures.It seems that Jin has become a habit of usurping the monarchy.

The diet of Baiguan is naturally different from that of the Marquis of Jin. In addition to pigs, cattle and sheep, there are also dogs, rabbits, and roe deer.The palace people are orderly, and all kinds of delicacies are brought up like running water, and placed in front of the officials one by one.

Jiang Yu saw that one of them was a bee.

... He felt that he was not blessed to enjoy such a delicacy.

In addition to these meats, there are also various meat sauces, snail sauce, caviar, rabbit sauce...even ant sauce.

Jiang Yu flicked the bee, and retracted the chopsticks with lingering fear.

"When I went out to fight, I was once surrounded by enemy troops in the mountains. There were many mosquitoes in the mountains. One of my subordinates accidentally poked a hornet's nest."

Qi Ranming was taken aback for a moment, stopped eating water chestnuts, and said vaguely: "And then?"

"Then my subordinates and I were both injured." Jiang Yu pointed to his right wrist, "One stung here, it swelled so badly that I couldn't even hold a sword."

Imagining how Jiang Yu's wrist was swollen and he couldn't even hold a sword. Although the besieged was a bit miserable, the appearance was still a bit funny, and Qi Ranming couldn't help laughing.

"What happened later? How did you get out?"

"Later," Jiang Yu said, "my subordinates and I hid in the mountains for ten days. We ran out of food and grass, so we had to hunt game and pick wild fruits in the mountains to eat before we got reinforcements. Fortunately, it was raining continuously for days, and the soil and vegetation in the mountains were covered with grass. If it is wet, it will not ignite at all, otherwise I will be burned to death in the mountains."

At that time, they fought with the Shan Rong in the north. The Shan Rong people were all brave and good at fighting, and they were not afraid of death. It was very difficult to fight with them.

"Reinforcements came from the rear and surrounded the Shanrong people. I then led my men to attack from the mountain. The enemy was attacked from the front and back, and they were defeated." Jiang Yu said, "Let me capture their general alive."

Qi Ranming gave a thumbs up and said, "As expected of Lord Suiyang."

Jiang Yu smiled: "It's just that I didn't expect bees to be able to eat... Otherwise, I was so hungry that I didn't have anything to eat, so I should let them get the bees and eat them too."

"What's so strange about bees, the emperor also eats them," Qi Ranming said, "I heard that the monarch of the Lu Kingdom hated meat, so he abandoned wild animals and instead hunted vegetables and vegetables in the field for their strange taste. A generation of princes, the taste is still It's really unusual."

"Ordinary people can't eat meat even if they want to eat it, but he doesn't like it."

Jiang Yu: "Scarcity is the most precious thing. If you are used to eating big fish and big meat, there is nothing unusual about it."

Qi Ranming suddenly said: "But the chicken and pork you roasted in Guogong Mountain last time are quite delicious."

Especially the chicken, which is unheard of, tastes really delicious.Qi Ranming has never eaten such a delicacy when writing about life and death.Maybe it was because he was seriously injured at that time, and he was unconscious. Looking back now, it seems that the fragrance can still be lingered.

However, thinking of this, that fiery and frantic kiss suddenly jumped into Qi Ranming's mind.At that time, he was startled, and he didn't realize it carefully...

Qi Ranming couldn't help turning his head to look at Jiang Yu's... lips, which looked quite soft.

The ears suddenly became hot.

"If you want to eat, I'll make it for you when you go back to Jicheng." Jiang Yu said, took Qi Ranming's half-eaten jujube from his hand, fed it into his mouth as if nothing had happened, and then smiled slightly at Qi Ranming. A smile, as if thinking of something with him, hinting at something.

Seeing what Jiang Yu ate with his own saliva, Qi Ranming suddenly lowered his eyes in embarrassment, and said in a low voice, "Is there nothing on the plate?"

Jiang Yu grabbed Qi Ranming's hand, pulled it to the low table, staggered Qi Ranming's fingers one by one, scratched his fingertips on his palm, and held it firmly again while he was dodging.

Qi Ranming's face turned red.

Jiang Yu also whispered: "In this way, under the watchful eyes of everyone, there will always be a taste of cheating."

"..." Qi Ranming: "???"

Seeing Qi Ranming's face flushed, Jiang Yu laughed again, and said, "Why are you blushing, I haven't done anything yet."

Although he has been in this world for many years, Jiang Yu is still a modern, ordinary urban white-collar worker in his heart, truly grounded.

Qi Ranming struggled, but did not struggle away, Jiang Yu held his palm warm and strong, it was not that difficult to accept, but he was a little shy in front of the civil and military court, so he let him go.

Just at this moment, I suddenly heard a "pop!" from the hall, and something fell to the ground.

Everyone was startled, looked towards the source of the sound, and saw that Zhao Di had dropped a wine bottle, his face was gloomy.Zhao Yinshi, who was sitting next to him, also had a long face.It looks like the couple had another fight.

I don't know how Zhao Di coaxed him back after that day, brought his wife to the birthday banquet, but still quarreled with him.This is too funny, it makes people laugh.

Baiguan's thoughts turned back and forth in his mind, and finally they all cast their eyes on Marquis Jin.

Ji Mengming obviously didn't expect such an accident, and the smile on his face froze a bit.He couldn't afford to offend the two people who were quarreling, but they were slapping him in the face if they were arguing like this.

Ji Mengming cleared his throat, summoned up his courage and said, "Zhao Qing, what's wrong?"

"Such a good night banquet, why throw the cup?"

Zhao Di was sulking with his wife and did not answer.

Zhao Yinshi also glanced at him sideways, and sneered, Ji Mengming was the son of the first queen mother, and Zhao Yinshi hated the first queen mother, so naturally he also hated Ji Mengming.

At this moment, Ji Mengming's face was a little uneasy, his smile faded, his face was a little ugly, but he still slowed down his tone and said: "Zhao Qing and Mrs. Zhao have a group of children, and they are a famous couple in Quwo. If there is something wrong with each other If there is a misunderstanding, it is better to open it up and explain it clearly, and when the misunderstanding is resolved, they will get back together, so don't hurt your friendship."

What kind of couple, what kind of children are in groups, it sounds like irony to Zhao Yinshi's ears.Although Ji Mengming didn't mean it that way, Zhao Yinshi turned pale with anger on the spot, and insisted: "It's His Highness's birthday today, His Highness just accepts the pilgrimage to celebrate his birthday, and don't worry about the rest."

The implication is, what are you, don't care about their housework!

Ji Mengming is not a good-tempered person either, he just felt angry and angry, now even a woman should look down on him and ignore him!

"Zhao Qing," Ji Mengming put down his chopsticks, "Zhao Yinshi is so rude, you are her husband, why don't you care?"
