pet queen [rebirth]

Chapter 21

There is nothing special about the flower viewing banquet, it is just that the princes gather together.

There was also a song and dance performance in the palace, and the guests had a great time.

Xiao Qian and Su Mingmo only sat for a while, and then heard outside: "The prince is here!"

The prince is really here.

Xiao Qian smiled, and said to Su Mingmo: "The opera singer is here."

Su Mingmo looked at him worriedly.

Xiao Qian said: "It's okay, the fire won't burn us, we are only responsible for watching the show."

The liveliest person at the banquet was the sixth prince. He was cute, Yuxue, and from time to time he uttered some childish words, which made other people at the banquet laugh.

Su Mingmo's gaze fell on the sixth prince for most of the time, until someone outside communicated: "Your Majesty is here!"

Everyone present was startled, and hurriedly knelt down: "Long live my emperor!"

The brocade robe flashed outside the main hall, and Emperor Xuancheng walked in from outside in casual clothes, followed by Li Youde.

"You don't need to be too polite. Today is just a family banquet. I saw the excitement at Qi'er's house, so I wanted to come and join in. It's fine if I'm not here." After speaking, Emperor Xuancheng sat down with a smile.

After he sat down, Li Youde shook out a cloak and put it on Emperor Xuan Cheng.

Su Mingmo quietly said to Xiao Qian: "Your Majesty's health seems to be getting worse and worse."

Xiao Qian nodded, and said: "The imperial physician was also worried, but..."

However, Emperor Xuancheng of the last generation could live another eight or nine years.

However, when Emperor Xuancheng was in power in the previous life, his body was not as weak as it is now. If he got a little cold, he would be fine in a few days.

this life...

Xiao Qian remembered that ever since Emperor Xuan Cheng contracted the wind and cold last time, he had been repeatedly unable to get better. Today is such a warm day, but he is wearing such a thick fur, which makes people think about it.

After all, even the sixth prince came, and Emperor Xuancheng also liked the excitement, so he just happened to be free today.

When Emperor Xuancheng came, although everyone was more reserved, the atmosphere became more enthusiastic.

Today, some singers were invited to Prince Duan's mansion, all of them are famous actresses from a teahouse called Huiyuelou in the capital. After those famous actors sang, they toasted the princes. The prince seemed to be drunk, so he arrested one of the singers. hand touched.

Everyone chatted happily, no one noticed that side, but Emperor Xuan Cheng kept looking at the prince.

Regarding the Huaiboen incident before, Emperor Xuancheng had always hoped that the prince would reflect on his mistakes. While scolding the prince, he hated that iron could not be made into steel, but at the same time hoped that the prince could truly reform himself.

After all, he and Concubine Tang Gui really had feelings for each other.

When Emperor Xuancheng had not yet ascended the throne, the Supreme Emperor gave the current empress a marriage to Emperor Xuancheng.

Don't look at Emperor Xuancheng who has been in power for so many years and has been diligent in governing the government. He was rebellious back then.

He has no relationship with the current empress, and it is true that after he ascended the throne, he has been leaving the empress alone, giving all the honor and favor to Concubine Tang Gui.

It is conceivable that Emperor Xuancheng placed a lot of high hopes on the prince, but it is a pity that the one who is favored will always have nothing to fear. It can be said that the prince was basically killed by himself.

After teasing the singing girl, the prince stood up, said to wash his hands, and staggered out of the front hall.

Emperor Xuancheng was worried that there were too many people today, and the crown prince would do something inappropriate in Prince Duan's mansion, so he gave Li Youde a wink and asked him to send someone to follow the crown prince.

After a while, Xiao Qian saw that King Duan also winked and asked people to follow them.

Xiao Qian had been holding a wine glass, and now he saw a few people moving, and chuckled lightly.

"My lord?" Su Mingmo followed his voice to look at him.

"Zi Yu," Xiao Qian put down his glass and said, "The fun has begun."

Not long after, the people sent by Emperor Xuancheng came back and whispered a few words in Emperor Xuancheng's ear, and Emperor Xuancheng got up and left the seat.

Soon there was a commotion from behind the main hall.

The palace servants quickly came out to evacuate the guests: "Everyone, Your Majesty has an order. Today's flower viewing feast is here. Everyone, please go back!"

The princes talked a lot, and someone asked with concern: "How is Your Majesty?"

"Your Majesty is fine, but there are some things that need to be dealt with. The prince said that I will entertain you another day."

Since it was Emperor Xuancheng's will, everyone had nothing to say, and they all stood up and left.

The Sixth Prince's nanny and a group of attendants are going to take the Sixth Prince away. The Sixth Prince is more sensitive. Remembering that Emperor Xuan Cheng came to Duan Wang's mansion, he has not hugged him yet, so he is crying to find Emperor Xuan Cheng.

"Father! Where did Father go? I want to see Father!"

The guests all left in an orderly manner, but there were so many people in a mess, and there were so many attendants around the sixth prince, everyone was in a hurry, trying to persuade the sixth prince, but instead blocked him in the middle of the main hall.

Su Mingmo walked over and raised his voice, "May I borrow it?"

Xiao Qian followed behind Su Mingmo, and the attendants saw that it was King Ning, so they made way for them.

The sixth prince was already crying, and the nanny was kneeling aside to coax him.

Su Mingmo squatted down and picked him up.

The sixth prince was short, surrounded by a group of people, he had difficulty breathing, and he was crying and making noises, his face was flushed, once Su Mingmo picked him up, his crying became quieter down.

"Sixth prince," Su Mingmo persuaded him softly, "Your Majesty has something important to do, why don't you go see him after the sixth prince returns to the palace?"

The sixth prince played with his fingers: "Why doesn't father go back to the palace with Ming'er?"

Xiao Qian said aside: "The sixth prince is a man, how can he keep pestering his father, wouldn't it be a joke?"

The sixth prince pouted, with tears still on his face, pitiful.

The nanny came over and said, "Princess Ning, come here, servant girl."

Su Mingmo wanted to hand over the sixth prince to the nanny, but the sixth prince refused. He put his arms around Su Mingmo's neck and said, "Are you Princess Ning?"

Xiao Qian said behind: "It's not big or small, it's called Sisao."

The sixth prince just didn't call.

Xiao Qian gave a "tsk", and said directly: "Nurse, send the sixth prince back to the palace."

The group of them had already blocked the road, and the sixth prince cried again not to be hugged by the nanny, so Su Mingmo had no choice but to carry the sixth prince out of Duanwang's mansion.

Xiao Qian was dissatisfied, he wanted to leave Prince Duan's Mansion with the sixth prince, but the servant of Prince Duan's Mansion quietly came over and whispered something in Xiao Qian's ear.

Xiao Qian chuckled, knowing that King Duan definitely wanted to invite him to watch a good show together, Xiao Qian was waiting, but he was disrespectful and stopped Su Mingmo from staying together.

After finally sending away the clingy sixth prince, Xiao Qian and Su Mingmo returned to Prince Duan's Mansion together.

The princes had already left, and the palace of Prince Duan was quiet. When Xiao Qian and Su Mingmo came to the garden behind the main hall, they saw Emperor Xuan Cheng sitting on a chair, kneeling in front of the prince and a servant dressed as an attendant. .

Xiao Qian took a closer look, and the servant looked like a northern barbarian.

"How can you still have contact with the northern barbarians?!" Emperor Xuancheng scolded the prince angrily.

The prince was guilty of being a thief, and his forehead was covered with cold sweat.

Good guy.

Xiao Qian glanced at the people around the prince again.

The prince dug a hole for himself to jump into?

Emperor Xuan Cheng also saw Xiao Qian at this time, he continued to stare at the prince without saying anything.

The crown prince took a step on his knees and said: "Father, my son is just... my son is just... that day before the northern barbarian king's staff left, they said that they would send someone to my son, and then they kept this person, yes... It was the northern barbarian king's staff who killed me!"

Emperor Xuancheng was holding a cup of tea in his hand. Hearing this, he slammed the teacup on the ground with a bang, and the fragments of the teacup splashed all over the floor: "If you contact the northern barbarians without my permission, do you know that the king of the northern barbarians Who are the staff?"

"Two years ago, in order to seize the throne, the Northern Man King, this staff member offered advice to the Northern Man King, and asked the Northern Man King to kill his father and brother, and then let Zhu ascend to the Northern Man's throne. Such a cruel and merciless person is still secretly planning how to invade me Da Jin, if it wasn't for me..."

Emperor Xuancheng paused, and winked at the people beside him.

The guard beside him understood, took a step forward, and snapped the neck of the northern barbarian next to the prince with a "click".

The man's body was dragged down, and Emperor Xuancheng said again: "If I hadn't considered the disaster in the south, how many people have been displaced, and there is really no time for the army to fight, do you think the northern barbarians can still be so stable now?!"

"Do you know how many Beiman spies are lurking in the capital?!"

"You still secretly hook up with the northern barbarians without telling me!"

Xiao Qian was a little surprised.

He thought that Emperor Xuancheng was in the imperial city and didn't know that there were northern barbarians coming and going in and out of the capital.

That would be interesting.

Xiao Qian looked at King Duan, and found that he had a calm face, without the slightest worry or panic that his secret would be revealed.

It seems that King Duan still has some tricks left.

The prince hurriedly said: "Father was wronged! My son did not hook up with the northern barbarians!"

"Still saying no?!" Emperor Xuancheng sneered, "Li Youde, present that letter to me!"

Li Youde stepped forward and took out a letter from his sleeve.

Emperor Xuancheng took it, and threw it directly at the prince's face: "Look for yourself!"

The letter was submitted by an admonition officer under the door.

Since Wei Liang's resignation, the counselors under his family have become Emperor Xuancheng's confidantes. Unlike Wei Liang and Tang Xiang, who have their own positions, the counselors are completely under the orders of Emperor Xuancheng and are the right-hand man of Emperor Xuancheng.

The letter stated that the prince had frequently met with the northerners in central Beijing in recent days, and even had contact with the staff of the northern man. Someone intercepted the secret letter written by the prince to the staff of the northern man. Because of the violent means of seizing the throne, the Man King's father and brother's former subordinates are ready to move. They have gathered a force in the northern border of the Great Jin Dynasty, hoping that the prince can send troops from the Northern Border Army to help the Northern Man King suppress the rebels.

The prince agreed in the letter, but he hoped that after he ascended the throne in the future, the North Man and the Jin Dynasty would maintain peace and harmony, and even if King Duan had a disagreement at that time, the North Man would send troops to help him.

"Your father is still here, so you are thinking about your father's death?!"

"Father! My son... My son did not..." The prince couldn't argue with a hundred words.

"Beijiang Zhenyuan Army obeys the orders of General Luo and I, even sooner or later there will be a battle with the Beiman, and you still want to let the Zhenyuan Army decide for them? Do you really want to go beyond me and board this place as soon as possible?" The throne, right?!"

The words were serious, and all the people present knelt down: "Your Majesty, calm down!"

"Come here, bring the prince back to the palace!" Emperor Xuan Cheng stood up angrily.

Emperor Xuancheng and the crown prince left Duanwang Mansion together.

Xiao Qian stood aside with his arms folded, watching them leave, feeling amazed in his heart, thinking, the prince is really a stupid rabbit who can bump himself into a tree.

Now it's all right, this play is easy to sing, but it will make Duan Wang feel complacent.
