C823

In the morning of the next day, the dead palace was busy.

The eunuchs of all the palaces are busy because of the unexpected banquet today. The concubines of the palaces who were in danger also want to catch people's eyes at the banquet today. Especially the dignitaries who came in from the spring talent show before, they all order to choose good-looking clothes and jewelry, hoping to be favored by the emperor.

When King Zongping's mansion received the news of the banquet, it was the morning before dawn.

Duan Chengyu is going to the shop to find Qi Rou, who is checking the accounts. He asks Hong Xiao about the news. When he arrived at Yanyu Pavilion, ruoli hurriedly rode his horse to inform him about the banquet today.

"Today's banquet will be announced this morning?" Duan Chengyu opens her mouth slightly, surprised.

Qi Rou also raised her head from the account book and tilted her head. "I'm in a hurry. Didn't the Imperial Palace disclose half of the information before?"

Ruoli coughed a few times, then lowered his voice and said: "the uterus is already airtight these days. Except for Lord mengxu and other senior ministers, no one knows what happened. Today's banquet seems to let many senior ministers bring their women."

Qi Rou's eyes crossed and he lowered his head and stopped talking.

Duan Chengyu was also surprised. It's too obvious that he wanted to bring the princes into the palace and the ministers with their daughters. However, he was in a bit of a dilemma. Before, he didn't know the plot, so he hurried out of the palace. Now it's a good thing to go to the palace to have a peek.

But looking at the obvious displeasure on Qi Rou's face, he was also in a dilemma, so he had to wave his hand and send ruoli back. He put down the food box himself: "I have a third brother on top, and I can't choose a princess."

"You are the only one who has granted the crown prince. The third prince has not been cleared of treason. Even if the emperor ordered, those ministers would not marry his daughter." Qi Rou said without raising her head. The words were sour.

Duan Chengyu is entangled and happy. Qi Rou is jealous! Rare!

But after a while, he rubbed his head again and called back ruoli, who was about to leave at the door: "wait! Come back! "

If left obediently walked to come back, does not understand.

"Do you know if Uncle Huang will go today?" Duan Chengyu felt his chin, and felt something wrong.

If you think about it carefully, you take out the roster and frown: "yes."

Qi Rou's pen in her hand immediately raised her head to face Duan Chengyu's four eyes. Both of them were half surprised at each other's eyes. Then Qi Rou quickly said, "the emperor is not so......"

"Since uncle Huang is trapped by love, now he can only use this method besides eradicating it." Duan Chengyu's eyebrows are piled up, and he only feels headache about it. On the other side, he can't help but say: "how can father and Emperor think of Uncle Huang as emperor? Is he not afraid to abdicate two days later when Uncle Huang is in power? "

Qi Rou was also puzzled. After thinking about it, she only patted him on the shoulder: "don't worry, wait and see how it changes."

Duan Chengyu's heart sank, but became more upset.

I just hope today is not a grand feast.

When I left the Yanyu pavilion to go back to the government for preparation, if I left, I would come forward like doing something wrong, murmuring: "this time, I only invite you a prince."

Duan Chengyu's action, cold as ice, stared at ruoli: "why didn't you just say that?"

"My subordinates know that you are sincere to miss Qi. But in the overall situation, I hope you can save your life first. This banquet is more like testing your meaning." Ruoli kneels on the ground.

Duan Chengyu casually raised his hand and let him get up. On the other side, he was glad that ruoli had not said it just now, so as not to offend Qi rou.

But he couldn't understand his father's meaning more and more. He decided to play dumb this time. The worst result was that he was dismissed as a commoner.

Unlike other princes, he never did earth shaking things in his life, and naturally did nothing dirty. Even those forces above the court, most of them were loyal to her by her mother's family, which had nothing to do with him.

In this life, I almost have a clear conscience.

Stepping into the palace again, those once familiar faces seem to have been changed. Duan Chengyu follows a grandfather he has never seen before, and says, "the father is awake?"

"When the emperor woke up recently, most of them also ordered his highness Jing to deal with the affairs of the government. He was still very weak. His highness Jing had sent people to find famous doctors." The little eunuch said that the two eyebrows were tied together, like he was really worried about the emperor's dragon body.

Duan Chengyu collected his sleeve without trace and followed him to the banquet place. For the time being, he didn't see anyone else, but at a distance, he saw liu'er, who was sitting on the screen with the head of the hospital's clothes. He was slightly stunned and raised his hand to stop the little eunuch who was going to leave: "Liu nvguan has been promoted again?"

"As the Emperor himself ordered, he said he could not be mistreated." The little eunuch hurriedly said that he would hurry to get some preserved meat, melons and fruits to fill his stomach for the emperor Zongping who had entered the palace in advance.

Liu Er, who was not far away, saw Duan Chengyu and just shook his head gently, then lowered his head and stood silent in the corner.

Duan Chengyu was also amused. Nowadays, no one can see Aunt Yun, and no one can see her father. This banquet seems to be in the name of the emperor. It's said to drive away evil spirits and eliminate disasters. But if the father doesn't arrive, he has to say otherwise.

Most of the ministers who came to the palace with the girl didn't look at him very much. They thought that he had been granted a fiefdom and would leave in a few days. What's more, the one who is in the limelight now is Prince Jing.

Duan Chengyu is not angry, holding a glass of wine alone, sitting at will, just like a straw bag.

Duan Chengxuan was the last one to enter. He was dressed in black and gold rimmed clothes, with a golden crown and hair. He was seated beside Duan Chengyu. Then he saw Huang Gonggong, who was close to his father, walking carefully. It seemed that he said something to empress Dongfang and then retreated.

The empress of the East frowned a little. After all, she was seated and waited for all the ministers and women's families to make a ceremony. Then she said, "the emperor is not well today. Today's banquet will not wait. Recently, there have been many affairs in and out of the court. Today's banquet is..."

The empress spoke eloquently, and the wiser minister immediately understood that the banquet was not just a ceremony to fight against disaster. Duan Chengyu wondered what he was doing.

Here, I saw a woman in elegant clothes walking to Duan Chengxuan with a fan. She had a beautiful face and a pair of Phoenix eyes. Duan Chengxuan had a gloomy face, but she didn't refuse.

"Uncle Huang." Duan Chengyu couldn't help but make a noise. In addition, she arched her hand to the woman: "is this lady?"

"The niece of the empress, Dongfang xuan'er." Duan Chengxuan seems to have known this for a long time. He said to Duan Chengyu like this, and took the wine cup from Dongfang Xuaner. He said with a smile on his face: "come here today, and Xuaner will be familiar with this king."

Duan Chengyu's face suddenly became cold, and his knuckles were pinched: "Uncle Huang you..."

"People's hearts will change. Why did king Zongping want to find out?" Dongfang Xuaner opened her mouth step by step, and looked at Duan Chengyu's eyes with some warning.

Duan Chengyu also wants to say a few words, but Duan Chengxuan says to him, "it has nothing to do with you."
