Poisonous Peasant ‘Concubine’

"His Royal Highness the Emperor and Queen is here!"

Before they could understand, the eunuch's loud shout sounded again, and everyone returned to their positions.

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live, queen, thousand years, thousand thousand years, His Royal Highness, thousand years, thousand years, thousand thousand years!"

Except for the people from the East and the South who were only bowing, everyone else knelt down to welcome the arrival of the Empress and the Crown Prince. In the direction of the entrance, Yan Shengzhi and Chu Yunhan came together with each other's hands, followed by the Crown Prince Yan Xiaoming. , followed by Concubine Ye Guifei, Concubine Bai and Concubine De. Originally, Concubine Xian was also to attend, because the ten princes suddenly became unwell, and neither of their mothers and children came.

"All Aiqings are flat."

Walking to the front dragon chair and sitting down, Yan Shengzhi waved his sleeves, and the civil and military officials thanked them in unison: "Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Afterwards, the officials returned to their positions one after another, and their wives and children fell behind them. In the huge venue, there was no extra noise except for the sound of sitting down, and everyone was careful. He is in control of himself, for fear that he will be disobedient in front of the emperor. You must know that in such an occasion, the punishment for disobedience in front of the emperor is also very severe.

Chapter 478: The Provocation of Qilian City

Today is a special palace banquet for the distinguished guests of the Eastern and Southern countries. Originally, Yan Shengzhi was in a good mood, but after hearing from the Queen that Ye Guifei had already made an verbal agreement with the Houfu of Wucang Houfu, Lingrui and her youngest son. After the engagement, his mood plummeted. He had already promised to marry Nanguo, but now that the Nanguo Prince has come as promised, why are they here? ? Even if they were only their vassal states, he couldn't use the majesty of a big country to oppress them. Besides Lingrui, another unmarried princess, Lingjiao, was only eleven, so he couldn't make the prince wait a few more years, right? Although it is still possible to adopt a righteous daughter as a princess from a royal clan or a big family, the question is, at such a critical juncture, where can he find someone who is willing?

Originally, he was heartbroken for the two princesses of Dongguo, but now that such a sudden situation has appeared, it is fortunate that he can keep smiling. However, every time he glanced at the Prince of Nanguo, he would endure it. Feeling angry and guilty all the time.

"Welcome the arrival of the fourth prince of the Eastern Kingdom, the two princesses, and the Prince of the Southern Kingdom. I toast you with all the Ai Qing. I hope you will feel at home in the Qing Kingdom, and hope that the borders of the Three Kingdoms will always enjoy peace."

Qiáng suppressed those complicated emotions, Yan Shengzhi raised his glass and faced the people from the Eastern and Southern Kingdoms. In short, everything will be discussed after the palace banquet is over. The matter of marriage with the Southern Kingdom must be suppressed today no matter what.

"The lord of the Qing Kingdom is polite, and peace in the world is also what this palace and the royal father wish."

Qilian City picked up the glass, and the two princesses who had retreated behind him also picked up the wine on the table. In order to take care of their preferences, Yan Shengzhi also brought out the high-priced wine he bought from Zeng Shaoqing the year before. The wine is called Dongguo The national wine, they should be used to drinking it.

"Thank you, Lord of the Qing Kingdom."

The southern kingdom is not as large as the eastern kingdom, so the position of the prince of the southern kingdom, Jun Yuanhang, can only be placed after Qilian City. Compared with Qilian City, which is full of extravagance and domineering, Jun Yuanhang is much more arrogant. It may be the southern kingdom. Because of the poor geographical conditions, Jun Yuanhang is very tall, half a head taller than others when sitting, and his bronzed skin is full of taste. The royal family will not look too bad, but Jun Yuanhang is not counted. Handsome, at least not as sharp as Yan Shengrui or Qi Liancheng, handsome and handsome, but for women, he is also very attractive, his charm has nothing to do with appearance, but the kind of natural toughness, with a tall figure And healthy skin, just a glance can make people feel particularly secure.

"You two are welcome, gān!"

Yan Shengzhi smiled with satisfaction, raised his head and took a sip of the fine wine in the glass, and the ministers who accompanied him were naturally unambiguous. They were not here today, and the ministers headed by Yan Shengrui and Zuo Xiang Sun Liang followed silently. As for those wives and young ladies Well, the men's stage is basically nothing to them. It is reasonable to say that Ling Jingxuan and Sikong Jue should also drink, but at this time, the two of them treated themselves as the mistress of the house without even touching the cup. a bit.

"This time, this palace has come to visit, and I hope that it will not cause trouble to the lord of the Qing Kingdom and everyone present. I would like to give you a toast."

The glass in Qiliancheng's hand has not been put down and raised again. On this occasion, drinking is a must. Under the leadership of Yan Shengzhi, a group of people raised the glass again, but this time, the prince of the Southern Kingdom, Jun Yuanhang, did not move. , Ling Jingxuan on the opposite side quietly looked at him while they were drinking. As far as the current situation of this era is concerned, his intuition told him that Jun Yuanhang should be a good home. The reason is very simple. This palace should have been prepared for him. Yan, because of the sudden insertion of Qi Liancheng and others, he was reduced to a supporting role, but he was neither arrogant nor impetuous. Coupled with his glass-like tiger eyes, it is enough to prove that he is an open-minded, very connotative and wise man. This kind of man will never let his woman feel wronged and marry his woman under any circumstances. He will definitely be happy. Of course, because he is the prince of the Southern Kingdom, he is destined to have only one queen. This will be the only shortcoming. However, even if it is not the queen, how can the ordinary son of a big family lose three wives and four concubines? Therefore, his shortcomings are not considered shortcomings.

"Concubine Ye Gui will definitely regret it in the future."

Feeling that his back was stabbed, Ling Jingxuan leaned back suspiciously, Sikong Jue crossed Zeng Shaoqing who was in the middle and whispered to him, Ling Jingxuan smiled slightly, who said no? Choose a husband-in-law candidate among the many direct sons present. Anyone with a little brain will choose Jun Yuanhang, although Ye Guifei also has her own concerns.

Bogey, but he really felt that she made the wrong choice this time.

"Good and mellow wine, better than my Dongguo Jade. I heard that it was made by the family of Princess Sheng's family?"

While the men were pushing the cups and changing the cups, Qi Liancheng's words suddenly turned to Ling Jingxuan. Although his words were directed at Yan Shengzhi, he was staring at Ling Jingxuan scorchingly. Yan Shengrui's face turned black, and he was ahead of Yan Shengzhi. Shen Sheng said: "The news of the fourth prince is well-informed. He only arrived in the capital yesterday, and he knows this today."

"Prince Sheng's words are bad. As early as when Ben Gong entered the border of Qing Kingdom, he heard about wine in Xinyuan Restaurant. Everyone here knows that wine is the national wine of Dongguo, and its brewing method has always been closely related. It is rumored that even if someone finds out the brewing method, the wine produced will not meet the standards of the East Country, but the wine brewed by Princess Sheng's family is different. Whether it is color or taste, it is undoubtedly the top grade, and there will be more in this palace. Attention is also normal."

Qilian City is also not a fuel-efficient lamp. Yan Shengrui's anger was resolved in a few words. At first, he did not know that the wine was made by Princess Sheng's family. When he arrived in Jinzhou two days ago, he asked people to buy it and taste it. The taste is good. Although it is not as mellow as the wine I drink now, it is definitely a top-quality wine. After he came to the capital yesterday, he asked someone to check it a little bit. It was not until he entered the palace today that he found out that the Ling's brewing that originally produced the wine was The property of Princess Sheng's mother's family, for this reason, he became more and more interested in Ling Jingxuan, especially after seeing him in person.

"Thanks to the fourth prince's praise, the wine you are drinking now is brewed by my prince, and it has nothing to do with this concubine's family. The national wine of the country, this concubine will find out the wine-making method according to his description, and the concubine's family will not be able to profit from it."

Holding Yan Shengrui, who was about to fight back, Ling Jingxuan smiled and looked at the opposite side. Even though he seemed to be very kind, he was actually taking the opportunity to ridicule him that the national wine of the East Country was nothing and had drunk it a few times. A casual description, someone like him that he has never seen before can brew it, which is equivalent to slapping Dongguo in the face and hugging the stone by the roadside and calling for treasure.

"If that's the case, the princess is no ordinary person."

It's not that he didn't hear the ridicule inside and outside his words, Qi Liancheng blamed everything on his own extraordinaryness, but Ling Jingxuan didn't want to cooperate with him: "The fourth prince is right this time, who doesn't know This concubine is just a rough country villager? Compared with the noble-born people, it is naturally unusual."

In other words, a farmer can brew the national wine of your Dongguo, what else can Dongguo be proud of?

"No, the princess will be wrong. What this palace means is that you are not an ordinary farmer, nor an ordinary person."

I don't know why, Qilian City has always been biting on this point. The emperor and courtiers all looked at them strangely. Although the Xinke Sanjia, who came a little earlier than the emperor and the others, was the emperor's new favorite, but after all, it was a fledgling, and its position was in the team. At the end, the third-ranked Tanhualang was basically at the bottom, so almost everyone didn't see it. Ling Jinghan watched worriedly, and it was only now that he knew that the life of the eldest brother was so stressful, if not for He, I'm afraid not many people can adapt to it?
