Chapter 236
A hundred imperial guards were scattered and arranged into shops and workshops, and Li Yi chose one person to follow him as a servant.
A dormant leopard is ready to strike at any time.
The emperor's birthday banquet was held in a grand manner, and it was truly celebrated by the whole world.
Early in the morning, Li Yi and Yun Niang got up, washed and dressed.
It is impossible to wear casual clothes in the palace, so how solemn it is.
Dressed up, they went to Sheng Mansion and set off with Father Sheng and others.
Xiangwu guards check at the gate of the palace to prevent anyone from entering the palace with sharp knives.
After a series of procedures, they were led to Chengtai Hall, where the seats had already been set up, so they didn't need to find their own seats, the palace people would lead them to their seats.
Since it was a birthday banquet, and the two emperors hadn't come yet, the atmosphere was relatively relaxed. Everyone talked and laughed to warm up the place.
After all, it was a birthday banquet, not the death of an emperor, so there was still some atmosphere.
Otherwise, didn't they intend to make the Supreme Emperor and the Emperor unhappy.
Tea, pastries, and fruits were placed on the table. Li Yi peeled a lychee and fed it to Yun Niang. Women's court clothes are more cumbersome than men's, especially the headgear, which looks heavy.
Yunniang usually dresses very casually, at most she only puts a few golden hairpins in. Today's outfit is probably a torment every second.
"When you get back, I'll squeeze it for you." Li Yi whispered.
Yunniang looked at him sideways and smiled. The clothes and headgear were indeed heavy, and she couldn't relax even a little bit, but it was sweet to have him caring for her.
"Why do you need to have the same knowledge as them?"
A little farther away from Li Yi, Wen Heng held Xu Jiaojiao, and patted the back of Xu Jiaojiao's hand reassuringly.
The more he was like this, the more angry Xu Jiaojiao became. Which woman could tolerate her husband being bullied by others.
Looking at Wen Heng's Qingjun face, Xu Jiaojiao tried her best to suppress the anger that was about to burst out. It was because Wen Heng's official position was not high enough that these people dared to ridicule him.
When I turned around, I had to beg my father, the right minister's son-in-law, how could he be bullied by others.
Taking a sip of his tea, Wen Heng lowered his eyes. In the past, he disdained forming factions for personal gain the most, but with no one on hand, how could he make things happen.
These days, he has changed his morality, and none of the rounds that should be socialized have been missed.
Wen Heng did not despise even small officials.
Too many ants can cause a big tree to fall.
The Right Prime Minister is a position he can take advantage of. In the beginning, he married Xu Jiaojiao, didn't he just have this purpose in mind, and it's really ridiculous.
"Try it."
Wen Heng picked up a piece of pastry, put his hand under it, and fed it to Xu Jiaojiao's mouth, with gentle eyes.
Men can be fooled by beauty tricks, and vice versa.
In Wen Heng's tenderness, Xu Jiaojiao couldn't tell the difference between south, east and north.
With such happiness, she had already put Sheng Yun behind her, and no longer troubled her.
As long as this continues and the name Sheng Yun no longer appears in front of Wen Heng, he will completely forget about that old relationship.
"Ms. You has been quite self-cultivating lately."
In the front row of the seats, a middle-aged man with the appearance of a scribe raised his eyes and said with a slight smile.
"As I get older, my body is not as strong as the left one, so I always leave opportunities to the young people." The right counterpart smiled and said.
"It would be great if that's the case." The middle-aged scholar sipped his tea with a hint of meaning in his eyes.
The two are chatting like ordinary people, but they are just the accent in the words, making the atmosphere unable to be relaxed and leisurely.
As the eunuch sang, everyone got up and saluted the overlord and the emperor.
Taking a sneak peek, Li Yi lowered his head. The old man looks square, but his heart is so vicious.
After the two emperors, Princess Xiangyu wore a palace dress and had a beautiful face, but there was no expression on her face, and there were no subtleties. If you look at it this way, she is indeed favored.
Even if the prince stood aside, she and the second emperor could receive court ceremonies from all officials.
The two emperors took their seats one by one, and the emperor lifted his hand lightly, "All of you are free of courtesy. Today is the emperor's birthday banquet, and all my lovers can drink to their heart's content, and there is no need to stick to etiquette."
The corner of Li Yi's mouth twitched invisibly, believing him to be a ghost, it's just a scene, it's really out of courtesy, maybe, he will be a guest in the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice.
The Supreme Emperor and the Emperor are in place, and the next procedure is for all the officials to greet the Supreme Emperor to celebrate his birthday.
Create a harmonious and happy scene between the monarch and his subjects.
In this regard, all of them are human beings. As they said, they are as beautiful as a rainbow, and Li Yi is ashamed of himself.
After all the officials celebrated their birthdays, the following should be the singing and dancing at the banquet.
But the emperor took out a painting for all the officials to appreciate. Li Yi was quite familiar with that painting.
In order for the jade sculpture to paint this painting, Li Yi used all the ideas he could, and he almost sold himself.
The Emotional Emperor is prepared for the birthday of the Supreme Emperor.
Glancing at Princess Xiangyu above, Li Yi had to say, this woman is really pathetic.
What the Supreme Emperor did, but the sins were oppressed on her body. A spirit guard destroyed all the good things in her life.
It's all like this, the royal family still doesn't forget to extract her value.
They made Princess Xiangyu conspicuous and outstanding. In this way, no need to say much, others will know how much the royal family regretted what happened back then.
I didn't like the good girl, so I used it to make atonement.
The paintings that Princess Xiangyu was forced to paint in the past were treasured by the emperor in the book pavilion. According to rumors, the emperor often wiped his tears secretly in it, and he couldn't help himself because of his distress.
The unscrupulous father and brother who can act, it's no wonder that Princess Xiangyu has turned into a jade sculpture.
This world is really Supreme Emperor and the Emperor were each wiser than the other. The Supreme Emperor's reputation could not be cleansed, so he was too lazy to spend the effort and just kept sharpening his sword.
Anyway, there is a son blocking it.
The emperor is even more shady, evil things, he basically lets the emperor do it, and he hides behind and sings red face.
The Supreme Emperor is ruthless, ungrateful, cold-blooded and vicious, and that is all about him. The Emperor is a generous and wise king, but he doesn't have enough power and willpower, so he can't stop the Supreme Emperor's butcher knife.
He is such a wise man!This is the perception of the people.
After all, there is no channel to know the inside story, you can only look at the created characters.
Although they think the Supreme Emperor is crazy and immoral, but the emperor is good anyway. In the future, as long as the Supreme Emperor is killed, the emperor will be in power.
With this kind of mentality, people think that they can touch the sunshine through the canyon. They can tolerate it and will not fall into hopelessness.
In such a situation, there is a high probability that the spirit of resistance will be suppressed, and it will not be possible to gather a crowd to revolt and rise up.
The two fathers and sons are both fighting and cooperating.
Especially externally, their hearts are actually very consistent.
If the emperor tried his best to stop him, how could he not be able to stop the Supreme Emperor?It's just meaning.
Facing the eyes of everyone, Princess Xiangyu just had a good demeanor and played her own role.
She doesn't like excitement, but every time there is excitement, Brother Huang will bring her to feel it.
What she touched was not fire, but the icy cold that pierced her bone marrow again and again until she could no longer feel it.
The paintings that the emperor asked to watch, let alone good ones, were not good, and all the officials praised them.
Looking at Princess Xiangyu, everyone was somewhat sympathetic. It's a pity that there is such a talented and talented person.
"Xiangyu is more caring than I am. She has prepared for the emperor's birthday gift early on. Apart from this painting, there are..."
The emperor spoke on his own, with a smile on his face, like a brother showing off his younger sister.
The Taishang Emperor's eyes were moist, and he looked very moved.
Li Yi closed his eyes, he lost his appetite for today's meal.
Princess Xiangyu was the only one present in the audience. From the beginning to the end, she was expressionless. Whatever you say, we are not in the same world, so we can't hear it.
"Look at me, I forgot the time again."
After talking for a long time, the emperor tapped his head and told the eunuch to put away the painting, his eyes revealed the sentimentality that a blind man could feel.
"Feast!"
Following the emperor's order, the maids came in one by one carrying dishes.
There was also singing and dancing.
Produced by the royal family, well, it is of a higher grade than what Song Cao showed him.
Just when everyone was immersed in it, a eunuch hurriedly walked up to the emperor and whispered in the ear. The smile on the emperor's face disappeared instantly. He slammed the table and stood up.
All the dancing girls knelt down on the ground in fright.
All the officials looked at each other, but they didn't know what happened.
For a while, the hall was silent.
The Supreme Emperor frowned, "Emperor, why are you so angry?"
"Go back."
The emperor waved the dancing girl away, and then looked at the officials, "All the ministers should go back too."
"I'm waiting to retire."
The emperor issued an order to expel the guests, and they would not be greedy for the food on the table. After half a quarter of an hour, all the ministers in the palace were scattered.
My heart is full of guesses, what happened outside that caused the emperor to have such a big reaction.
"Father, all the people you sent have been sent back, and the envoys of Daqian are outside the hall." The emperor's voice was condensed, "I said it was a congratulatory gift for you, and I asked you to receive it in person."
The Supreme Emperor's face darkened, "How courageous!"
"I need to tell me this too? Just kill him."
"I'm afraid it won't work." The emperor shook his head, "A large army of [-] troops has joined forces with Rongguo to press down on Fengdu Ridge. I'm afraid they are waiting for us to give us a reason to fight."
"They really dare." The Taishang Huang narrowed his eyes, and the killing intent surged.
After the Rong country suffered heavy losses, it was no longer a concern, but they still have gunpowder, and if they want to smash the cans, they will hurt both sides. In the end, they don't know who is cheaper.
It's really not a wise move to start a war.
The Supreme Emperor overturned the table and left with a shake of his sleeves.
"Brother Zhao, do you think the Supreme Emperor of the Chu Kingdom will come to receive the birthday gift? We have worked hard to send people back to him, and everyone is still angry."
At the gate of the palace, in front of the prison cart, four guards smiled and looked at the Xiangwu guards surrounding them, and one of them spoke out.
"Whether he gets it or not, let's just follow the mission, anyway, it's not ashamed of us." Another guard answered and spit.
"I can't stop shouting, Yao Zi, it's your turn to catch up."
"Along the way, I didn't lose your meat. How could it be so empty?"
Yaozi, who was called Yaozi, looked contemptuously at his companion, took a deep breath, and said, "I would like to congratulate the Supreme Emperor of Chu on his birthday, and I would like to present a birthday present. You are despicable and shameless, but we are kind, and everyone sent it back to you. "
"You don't have to thank me, the Taifu said, just use whatever tricks you have."
"We give you this birthday gift every year!"
People are surrounded by Xiangwu guards, but the sound can't be blocked, especially these middle-aged people, the sound is like a bell, and people can't pretend they can't hear it.
