Chapter 432

Today, the capital of Western Chu is particularly lively. The crowded streets are crowded with people watching the excitement. At first glance, there is a festive red, the flying fragments of happy guns are in full swing, the sound of gongs and drums is loud, and the Anqing street near the fifth Prince's house is crowded with people.

Everyone knows that today is the day when nangongchen, the fifth prince, marries Zhengfei. Therefore, the emperor of Western Chu specially ordered the whole city to celebrate for three days. Although the reason for this is fair and aboveboard, it is not because Nalan, king of Chu, led troops to besiege the city some time ago. The angry emperor of Western Chu fainted on the spot and fell ill.

Your majesty, this is to cheer up and wash away bad luck. That's why he wantonly arranged the marriage of the fifth prince!

More court officials were sensitive to the fact that the attitude of the Western Chu emperor towards the five princes did not know when it had changed, and they secretly moved their minds one by one.

In the eyes of the Western Chu emperor, Nangong Chen, once the fifth prince, was a romantic prince who was ignorant, greedy and lecherous, which was not enough to be of great use. Moreover, Nangong Chen also had a nasty rumor with Luo Qingshuang, the eldest lady of the general's house. Even if she later took her as a concubine and carried a side imperial concubine, it couldn't be concealed after all.

Everyone knows that the favorite Prince of the Western Chu emperor is the crown prince Nangong Qing, and Nangong Qing's great responsibility has successors in the Western Chu, and the ministers are pleased. I don't know when your majesty began to alienate Prince Nangong Qing. Even today, when the fifth prince married his concubine, no one saw or heard that Prince Nangong Qing was coming to the wedding banquet.

Is the prince really out of favor and about to be replaced by Nangong Chen, the fifth prince? Otherwise, how could your majesty and empress promise to attend nangongchen's wedding banquet in person?

Some ministers who received the news in advance are more sensitive to what they found. There are many more secret guards in the fifth Prince's house. Although there are many guests to congratulate Xi today, it is necessary to take strict precautions, but the fifth Prince's house has almost five steps and one sentry, ten steps and one post. It's such an exaggeration. Isn't it because your majesty and empress are also coming?

Otherwise, why do we have to wait so hard?

Like many guests who came to the banquet, Nangong Yu, the second prince of Yushu Linfeng, dressed in gorgeous clothes, stood in the crowd. Although his handsome appearance was a bit cheap, the thousands of precious women who scanned him could not help looking more, but compared with the people around him, they were basically ministers, chamberlains, generals, etc., and didn't take much advantage of their bearing and identity.

A few steps are too conspicuous and will not disappear in the crowd. This is the purpose of Nangong Yu today.

His mind was not obvious at all. He had a smile like a spring breeze on his face. Nangong Yu took four attendants and exchanged greetings all the way. His mouth was almost dry, but he still smiled gently, as if everyone was playing.

This was originally Nangong Yu's usual state of being. Although the second prince was better than Nangong Chen, the former fifth prince, he was more than a little worse than Nangong Qing, the crown prince. However, Nangong Yu has a special ability, that is to make money!

Basically, the dignitaries and officials in the capital, which family has no business? Therefore, most of them are inextricably related to Nangong Yu. Because of this, when everyone saw Nangong Yu, they thought he was not the heir to the throne, but in view of his earning ability, they also talked and laughed with him, as if they had a good relationship.

"So the second prince came early." Li Donglai, the Minister of household, smiled and arched at Nangong Yugong: "today is a happy day for the fifth prince. I should have asked the fifth Prince for a cup of wedding wine, but I haven't seen the second prince for a while. I'm going to have more drinks with the second prince today."

As usual, Nangong Yu said with a smile: "I went to Dongwan a while ago to check the business, which worried Lord Li. I'm really sorry."

After a few greetings, Li Donglai was welcomed in by the housekeeper of the fifth Prince's house. As soon as he left, Wen Kangning, deputy governor of the inspector's Academy, Yao Fangzheng, Minister of Honglu temple, sun Feng, commander of the five cities army and Horse Department, and others gathered here. Naturally, the people said all kinds of pleasing words, bowed their hands and smiled, and took the wedding banquet as an open temptation and solicitation.

When this group of people left, soon the older generation such as Duke Xuanping and Duke Wei came again.

Almost the whole family came to Xuanping Marquis's house, and his wife, Yang, was also granted the Gao Ming's wife. She is still charming after forty. There are two women beside him. One is dressed as a woman and wears a bun. This is Du Shi, the eldest daughter-in-law of Marquis Xuanping, while the other, Nangong Yu, recognized at a glance, is Wei Chi Lianqing, the youngest daughter of Marquis Xuanping.

With a smile on his face, Xuanping Hou saw Nangong Yu at a glance: "eh, the second prince came so early? Why didn't he sit inside, but came out to meet the guests? I can't afford to meet the second prince with such a big face."

Nangong Yu said with a smile: "today is a happy day for the fifth younger brother. Naturally, the second elder brother of the palace needs to help. Besides, you are an elder, and you had a good relationship with my father in those years. If you count up, the palace is also the younger generation of the Lord, so don't be polite."

"The second prince can really talk, ha ha..."

Hou Xuanping laughed. After a while, he went to the side and looked around. Then he whispered, "by the way, I heard that his Highness the crown prince hasn't come today, but are you serious?"

"Big brother..."

Nangong Yu looked unidentified: "maybe something has been delayed. Isn't it still early?"

"Why, I've heard that the prince won't come today because he's afraid of being scolded by his majesty. Moreover, his majesty... Seems to have a bad temper and alienated a lot from the prince recently. The reason for this is that the second prince is not an outsider, so I'll talk straight today. I'm afraid it's because of the king of Chu that my majesty is unhappy?"

Unexpectedly, Marquis Xuanping would say this. For a time, Nangong Yu didn't know the abacus in his heart, so he had to fool it.

However, Marquis Xuanping didn't let Nangong Yu go. Instead of leaving, he took Nangong Yu and chatted. In his conversation, he always mentioned his little daughter Wei Chi Lianqing as if nothing. He also looked at Nangong Yu from time to time, which finally made him react.

Looking at Wei Chi Lianqing's shy appearance, Nangong Yu was a little surprised. Didn't Marquis Xuanping always want to marry his little daughter to his eldest brother Nangong Qing? Why do you suddenly find yourself now? Did... He change his goal?

"The second prince is polite." Seeing Nangong Yu's eyes sweeping over, Wei Chi Lianqing immediately bowed his head in shame.

"Ha ha, the princess is polite." Nangong Yu was not interested in the woman at all and perfunctory.

He wouldn't like a woman like Wei Chi Lianqing. Before that, his mother said she would choose a concubine for her eldest brother. The woman was very eager and looked like she loved her eldest brother deeply. But now once I know that the eldest brother has lost his favor and may be replaced by the fifth brother, it changes immediately. It's really powerful in reality.

"The second prince is here." Just trying to find an excuse to leave, Nangong Yu heard the voice behind him. He turned his head and saw that it was Hu Chen, the housekeeper of the fifth Prince's house. He said with a smile: "the second prince, the fifth prince asked the little one to find you. He said that someone had just come to the palace, and his majesty and empress were coming soon. Let the second prince pass and meet you together."

"It turned out that the empress and father were coming. Well, I'll find my fifth brother right away."

Nangong Yu immediately ignored weichi Lianqing and said goodbye to Xuanping Hou Gong. With Hu Chen, he saw Nangong Chen.

He was dressed in a red and happy gun of Xinlang official, with a red silk flower at his waist. Nangong Chenjun was tall and straight, with a happy face and noble spirit all over, forming a very different contrast with the people around him. Today, he is the well deserved protagonist, and his inner plan makes him have a superior idea. Once it is done, everyone will kneel in front of him and look up to him. This is the reason for Nangong Chen to give up his pride.

"Second brother, let's go. My father and mother are coming soon." Looking at Nangong Yu faintly, Nangong Chen's eyes flashed away. He didn't care whether Nangong Qing would come or not. On the contrary, it was because his crown prince brother didn't show up so far that he became more confident.

After his success, Nangong Qing is not worried at all. He has made a comprehensive plan. At that time, he will not only give all the charges to Nangong Qing, but also let him roll down as Prince under the spitting of people all over the world and the advice of ministers. And he is the real Lord of Western Chu in the future.

However, at present, nangongchen still wants to pretend to be a gesture, As he walked, he said with some doubts: "second brother, have you seen the eldest brother? I haven't seen him recently. It seems that even the queen mother doesn't know. You usually get close to the eldest brother, but do you know where he has gone? I didn't see him when I sent someone to the prince's house to send an invitation a few days ago. I really don't know whether the eldest brother will come today."

"Oh, you haven't seen your eldest brother? I've only been back for a few days. I'm so busy. I'm afraid I wouldn't have time to come if my fifth brother didn't get married. I don't know where my eldest brother has gone, but I think this year is a good day for you. As long as my eldest brother doesn't die, he will come." Nangong Yu looked heartless and heartless and said with a smile.

Hearing Nangong Yu say 'come back as long as you're not dead', Nangong Chen was a little upset.

When he said "death" on his important day, he was more or less taboo, but it was hard to show it. Nangong Chen flashed a sharp edge in his eyes and disappeared in the twinkling of an eye: "also, after all, our brother may have something to delay. Even his father and mother are coming, and he should come."

Just then, they had arrived at the gate of the house, and the crowded road had been cleared by the bodyguard. The guests were waiting in the hall honestly. Some high-ranking people, such as the general Hou Ye of Shangshu, followed behind the two princes, waiting for the arrival of the West Chu emperor and the queen.

After waiting for a cup of tea, I saw Luan Jia appear, and the vast team came slowly.

Everyone respectfully bowed down. Nangong Chen and Nangong Yu ranked first: "see your majesty (father emperor), see your mother (mother queen), long live your majesty (father emperor), long live your mother (mother queen)."
