Chapter 195
On this day, there were too many things that shocked Li Yuezhu.
First, Mrs. Ning turned out to be the emperor's wife and a concubine, and then her brother Jinyan turned out to be the heir apparent!
"Jinyan, when did you come? Why didn't you tell me? If I had known, we would have come together."
The second prince walked to Xiao Jinyan first and asked earnestly.
However, Xiao Jinyan sat in his seat and did not answer. Instead, he poured himself a cup of tea.
Not to be outdone, the third prince walked to the other side of Xiao Jinyan: "I remember that brother Jinyan never attended such a banquet. The last time I celebrated my birthday, I invited you left and right but I didn't invite you. It seems that
Mr. Chen still has more face."
The second prince and the third prince kept smiling beside Xiao Jinyan, but Xiao Jinyan, who was sitting on the chair, was indifferent.
The two princes also felt embarrassed and quickly sat back in their seats, but their eyes were fixed on the man who sat down to drink tea.
Li Yuezhu also sat under the stage and closely observed the actions of the people on the stage.
Could it be that she had a misunderstanding or something? Why did the prince want to fawn over a prince? You must know that the prince is the emperor's son and he can get whatever he wants. How could he be so enthusiastic about a prince?
Since Xiao Jinyan arrived, the atmosphere on the court has become even weirder, and Li Yuezhu's entire mind has been completely disrupted.
Lin Xinghuai was happily eating melon seeds next to him, but he felt that there seemed to be something strange about his little aunt, as if she had been hit hard.
Lin Xinghuai then thought about it and realized that the prince must not have told his sister-in-law his identity, otherwise her sister-in-law wouldn't be so surprised.
Lin Xinghuai poked Li Yuezhu, who was sitting next to him in a daze.
"Sister-in-law, what are you thinking about?"
Li Yuezhu stared straight at the stage and said nothing.
"There may be a reason why this prince doesn't tell you his identity. Don't be sad."
Li Yuezhu heard the dissuasion from Lin Xinghuai next to her. She was not depressed because brother Jinyan didn't tell her his identity, but because brother Jinyan seemed a little different today. I hope this was her illusion.
"Have you ever heard of this prince?" Li Yuezhu turned around and asked Lin Xinghuai next to him.
Lin Xinghuai curled his lips and looked at the young aunt who was staring at the stage, somewhat absent-mindedly.
"Of course I've heard of him. I'm afraid there aren't many dignitaries in the capital who haven't heard of him!"
Lin Xinghuai sighed deeply.
"This person is also an ancestor!"
After hearing what he said, Li Yuezhu turned around and glanced at Lin Xinghuai who was very serious.
"Do you know why the second and third princes fawn over him so much?"
Li Yuezhu shook his head blankly.
"Because of military power!"
Lin Xinghuai sighed and continued.
"Although this Crown Prince is a sick man and looks weak in culture, no one would have thought that he holds two-thirds of the military power of our entire Bishu Kingdom."
"What? Two-thirds??"
Not to mention Lin Xinghuai, Li Yuezhu was already shocked.
This man who controls two-thirds of the military power is equivalent to controlling the lifeblood of the entire country.
"As long as you have the support of this person, even if the country has a crown prince, you can overthrow them overnight. This is why the second prince and the third prince are so ingratiated with this man."
Li Yuezhu was dumbfounded when she heard this. She had imagined that brother Jinyan would be very noble, but she never expected that he would be so noble.
She had imagined that Mrs. Ning's identity was unusual, but she never expected that it would be so unusual.
It seemed that everything was beyond her cognition.
Just when Li Yuezhu wanted to ask something more...
"Ding-a-ling, jingle-a-ling."
A crisp silver bell rang, and while everyone was still confused, a dozen young girls walked in from outside the door.
The girls were all wearing the same clothes, holding plates in their hands. In this hot summer, cool smoke actually came out of the plates.
The girls filed in in an orderly manner, followed by several young men, who were also carrying wooden boxes one by one.
Soon, these wooden boxes filled the stage in the middle of the hall.
A dozen girls walked back and forth in an orderly manner, taking out new fruit plates from the boxes and placing them on the guests' tables.
In an instant, the entire hall was filled with the aroma of the fruit.
It's really because these fruits are so fragrant. Even the aroma of apples and pears is very fresh, but not so intense. In addition, since these icy fruit plates entered the hall, the whole hall felt cool and refreshing.
"Who are these children? Where did they come from?"
"I don't know, look at the words on their clothes."
I saw the words written in front of those children: Bingguo invites you to cool down for a summer. There are also bright patterns painted on it. These words are written in large letters and are very eye-catching.
Behind it is written: Grand opening on July 12th, address, intersection of Zhengyang Street and Jinling Street.
The girls placed all the fruits in the boxes on the guests' tables, and then exited in an orderly manner.
Everyone here looked at the plate of fruit on their table. Let’s not talk about whether the fruit is delicious or not. Although it looks pretty good, coupled with the summer ice, it captured everyone’s attention at once.
heart of.
"Master Chen, this is..."
Chen Zhengxun laughed. He had heard before that the little girl Yuezhu would give him a surprise. This was really a surprise. Looking at the plate full of fruits, it really made him look good.
"Everyone, eat to your heart's content. This is specially prepared for you by an old friend of mine. Don't let me down."
Chen Zhengxun did not say who prepared these fruits.
Everyone present now no longer had the fear when they saw the imperial concubine and the prince, and began to pick up a piece of fruit and try it.
All the fruits in the fruit plate have been cut, even the watermelon is cut into pieces, and a few toothpicks are placed on the plate.
"I said that you, an old guy, are not twenty years old on your first birthday, so why are you doing all these dirty things?"
Lieutenant Cao really did not care about the occasion. He laughed and asked you to take a piece of fruit and put it in your mouth.
After putting it in his mouth, something surprising happened to him.
It was a fiery red fruit. Looking at the square shape, it seemed that the fruit was not too small. After filling it into my mouth, it had a cool texture and was crunchy. I gently twisted it with my tongue and the whole fruit
It all turned into water in my mouth.
This made Captain Cao's eyes light up, and he quickly took out one more and stuffed it into his mouth.
Although there are black seeds in this big fruit, its sweetness and moistness are something he, a captain who thinks he has seen a lot, has never seen before.
