Chapter 681 Night Banquet·Marriage
Pei Yuanhao and Nangong Lizhu were holding the second prince and still murmuring. Chang Qing smiled and said, "Let me take a look at this child."
Pei Yuanhao looked back at her.
Chang Qing smiled and said: "It's been a while since the second prince went to Yuhua Palace. I haven't seen my concubine yet, so I miss her a little bit."
Pei Yuanhao smiled and nodded, and was about to take the child over. Nangong Lizhu seemed a little hesitant, but seeing that the emperor had agreed, he could not say anything more. He only glanced down at the second prince, and then slowly brought the child over.
The child was handed over. Chang Qing carefully took the heavy swaddling clothes. I happened to be standing behind her and went over to carefully push it aside to take a look. Sure enough, Pei Nianyun was sleeping peacefully in it. His cheeks were slightly red and his mouth was curled up.
Lift up a little, reveal your pink tongue, and look at ease.
Chang Qing raised her head and glanced at me. I lowered my head and smiled and said, "The second prince is so cute."
"..."
She didn't speak, but looked at me with a flicker of her eyes. I raised my head and said softly: "Wei Chen, can I hug the second prince?"
Chang Qing didn't seem to expect that I would say that, and was stunned for a moment. Even Nangong Lizhu was stunned. Pei Yuanhao looked back at me and nodded: "Yeah."
I bowed my head to thank him and took the swaddling clothes from Chang Qing's hand.
This child has indeed gained weight, much fatter than when I went to Mingzhu to see him before. His fleshy cheeks were watery and flushed, and his small chin had two layers. I was not very strong, so I held him
He worked harder and just lowered his head and smiled.
Pei Yuanhao has been looking at me.
I felt his gaze and said nothing. I just lowered my head and gently rocked the swaddling clothes to make the baby sleep more comfortably.
For a moment, Chang Qing, Nangong Lizhu, and all the concubines followed the emperor and looked over, but no one spoke.
When he had seen enough and turned around, everyone also looked away, except when Nangong Lizhu looked away from me, it was like pulling nails out of a wooden board.
In the main hall, there was still singing and dancing.
Because of the special status of the second prince, his appearance cannot attract the "attention" of others, and the flattering words of the ministers cannot be said to him, so everyone respects me and I respect you, obviously they are two people.
They are in the same camp, but they are having a great time chatting with each other, and it looks really silly and interesting.
I saw Nangong Jinhong and Fu Badai having a drink, and even Liu Qinghan beside them also drank with them.
They were too far apart and couldn't hear what they were saying. Of course, they could only talk about some scenes. Nangong Jinhong also said a few words to Liu Qinghan. His face had always been not good, and at this time he even smiled.
Somewhat cautiously, I bowed my head and thanked him, and was patted on the shoulder by the person next to me.
After Nangong Jinhong left, several other adults toasted with Fu Badai, and they all had a drink with him.
His official career has indeed gone smoothly.
He entered the capital as a disciple of the greatest Confucian in Shu, and went from being a bachelor of the Jixian Hall, to the captain of Qingche, to the minister Pushe, the minister of the Ministry of Rites, and to the captain of Qingche. Such a step-by-step promotion can definitely lead to a smooth career.
To describe it, he now indeed has the capital to become a "Monk Tucheng".
At this time, it is indeed irrational and inappropriate to let him leave and give up everything.
And beside him, he should not be a woman who drags him down, makes the emperor suspicious of him, or even wants to get rid of him, but a woman who is helpful to him and can help him go further and climb higher.
Isn't it?
Thinking of this, I lowered my head gently and swallowed the hot liquid that almost filled my eyes.
At this moment, another song ended.
Although the ministers were drinking, talking and laughing, they all nodded in perfunctory praise.
Pei Yuanhao, on the other hand, took a sip of wine and said slowly: "This pipa song is a bit special. Although the dance just now is different from before, it is vigorous, graceful and graceful, and there is something unique about it."
When Nangong Lizhu heard this, the original dullness on his face became brighter, and he smiled and said: "This is a dance that I have been searching for for a long time in ancient times. Does your Majesty know what kind of dance it is?"
Pei Yuanhao thought for a while, but couldn't figure it out. Just when he was about to ask, he heard Pei Yuanzhen say: "Is it the green waist tune?"
Everyone turned to look at her.
Not only Pei Yuanhao, but also the civil and military officials present seemed not to have expected that the eldest princess, who had never been very warm, would speak for the second time today, but she herself didn't seem to care and just put the wine glass on the table lightly.
Up.
Pei Yuanhao looked at her with interest: "Yu Mei is quite knowledgeable."
Pei Yuanzhen smiled lightly and said: "If the emperor hadn't asked my sister to read more books a while ago, my sister wouldn't have seen this."
"Well..." Pei Yuanhao raised his eyebrows: "Who gave you these books?"
"It's Bachelor Liu."
"Oh? Liu Qing's family?"
This time, all eyes turned to Qinghan.
He seemed to be caught off guard. He didn't expect Pei Yuanzhen to mention him suddenly. He raised his head blankly, looked around with wide eyes, and immediately stood up: "I'm here."
Pei Yuanhao was stroking the cup on the table with one hand, looking at him, and said with a half-smile: "Thank you for your hard work these days."
"Your Majesty's words are serious, I feel ashamed to be a subordinate."
As soon as he finished speaking, several ministers next to him had their eyes on him, and immediately laughed and said: "Speaking of which, Mr. Liu should take the lead in quelling the rebellion and capturing the rebels this time!"
"Yes, if Master Liu hadn't outsmarted the military talisman, how could he have dispatched soldiers thousands of miles away?"
"Master Liu is really wise and brave."
……
For a moment, all those flattering words were directed at him, and he became more and more at a loss. Fu Badai beside him seemed to be not only blind, but also deaf. He couldn't hear anything and was still groping for himself.
I picked up the wine glass on the table and took a sip.
At this moment, Nangong Jinhong stood up from the banquet and said with a smile: "I only heard that Sir Shilang went deep into the tiger's den in the Juma Valley to capture rebels for the emperor. I didn't expect that Shilang Liu's knowledge was so profound.
But it puts us old ministers to shame."
The surrounding ministers all agreed and felt ashamed.
I frowned slightly.
If I read it correctly, when we entered the main hall, Nangong Jinhong's cold gaze was directed at Qinghan. Why did he first lower it and then raise it at this time?
I felt a faint uneasiness in my heart, and that uneasiness seemed to be transmitted to the child in my arms. He subconsciously squirmed in his swaddling clothes.
I patted the baby gently, but did not coax him. I just raised my head and continued to look at the main hall.
At this time, Nangong Jinhong had already smiled and said: "I wonder how young Minister Liu is, will he get married?"
Qinghan's face suddenly changed.
My face also changed.
Why did Nangong Jinhong suddenly ask this?
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but turn my head to look at Nangong Lizhu. She seemed to be shocked by the sudden changes in the hall. Her spring willow-like brows frowned slightly, and she looked at her father with a trace of anger.
.
There was still a faint smile on Nangong Jinhong's face. At this time, Grand Master Chang Yanbai, who was sitting on his arm, spoke slowly: "Master Shangshu is really working hard, and he is even worried about the marriage of Master Shilang.
?"
Nangong Jinhong smiled and said: "We are ministers in the same palace, don't we have friendship? I see that Liu Shilang is no longer young, but he is still alone, so I should give it some thought."
As he said that, he turned around and said, "Your Excellency, does what I say make sense?"
At this time, Qing Han's originally blushing face due to drinking slowly turned pale. He stood there, trembling slightly, and even seemed to have difficulty maintaining a smile. He could only lower his head and said: "Thank you, Lord Shangshu.
Care. It’s just a matter of marriage, and I haven’t considered it yet.”
"Liu Shilang, don't you know that the three most serious forms of unfilial piety are not having children?"
Qinghan's face turned a little paler, and she subconsciously looked at Fu Badai.
But the old scholar was still drinking, rolled his dull eyes, and seemed to sigh softly, saying that getting drunk will relieve a thousand worries, and dying of drunkenness will make you a prince. My teeth were clenched, but I couldn't speak.<
/p>
At this time, Qing Han raised his hand and said to Pei Yuanhao: "Xia Guan is a commoner. He came to Beijing from Xichuan. He just wants to help the emperor create an unparalleled foundation with his meager efforts. As for the marriage, I have no time to worry about it myself. Kuang.
, The world is not at peace, and the world is not settled, why should we call home?"
His words were already blocking Nangong Jinhong's mouth with the general trend of the world.
My hands involuntarily squeezed a corner of the baby's clothes, and my palms were covered in cold sweat.
After hearing this, Nangong Jinhong couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed on his face, and said with a perfunctory smile: "Shilang Liu is really a young hero."
Seeing that this wave was about to pass, I was about to breathe a sigh of relief when I suddenly heard Pei Yuanhao in front of me speak, with a hint of a faint smile: "The Liu Qing family is worthy of being my humerus ministers, but
, what Master Shangshu said does make some sense."
Qinghan was stunned for a moment, then raised his head and looked at him.
I just felt a numbness in my back. The man sitting on the dragon throne with his back to me was facing the main hall. But for some reason, I always felt that he had a pair of eyes staring at me, which made me feel cold all over.
When he spoke, he smiled warmly and said, "I have already made plans for the marriage of Liu Qing's family."
"..."
The hall suddenly became quiet.
Everyone looked at Liu Qinghan in unison, and then immediately turned to the opposite side of him.
Pei Yuanzhen was also alert at this time. She opened her eyes slightly and looked at the emperor, with a hint of joy on her face.
I just felt a buzz in my head and gritted my teeth.
Suddenly, a baby's cry suddenly sounded in the hall.
Everyone was originally looking at Pei Yuanhao, but at this time they were startled and looked at the source of the crying. I held the child and stood behind Chang Qing, and everyone's eyes fell on me.
