The Marquis of Qingshan followed Emperor Showa as always.As soon as he followed Emperor Showa into the garden, he saw that Empress Dowager Wan was talking to Shen An, and his brows furrowed unconsciously, obviously disgusted with the other party to the extreme.Most people's eyes were on Emperor Showa, so naturally they didn't notice it, but Mu Jinxi saw it clearly, and she also saw Shen An's contemptuous and disdainful eyes when she looked at Mu Yuan, she knew that the contradiction between these two people must be so deep that it was difficult to reconcile.If it was before, Mu Jinxi would still feel worried.At this moment, she has to find it interesting, it turns out that Mu Yuan will also have unbearable and uncontrollable people.As soon as Emperor Showa took the throne, almost everyone sat down in their rightful place.In addition to Wan Jingyu, there is another Erya beside the Empress Dowager Wan, and on both sides of Concubine Yue, one side is holding Mu Jinxi and not letting her go, and on the other side is Princess Fengyuan who doesn't want to leave.Only the queen is alone.She straightened her back, as if she didn't think it was a great thing, and then smiled at Emperor Showa and said, "Your Majesty, it's time for a banquet." ”Although this is the birthday banquet of the Empress Dowager Wan, the Empress Dowager Wan does not mean to say much at all, and the Queen Mother does not dare to talk to the Empress Dowager Wan.Delicious delicacies were served one after another, followed by silk and bamboo.The first to come forward to congratulate the Queen Mother on her birthday are the royal relatives of the same generation as the Queen Mother, this part of the people is very few, and most of them are old, trembling and saying a few words, ordering their children and grandchildren to offer congratulatory gifts, and then sit back gently.After Mu Jinxi glanced at it roughly, he couldn't arouse any interest."
It's been a long time since I've seen the people of the Yan family like this."
Princess Fengyuan looked at those old clan relatives and sighed sincerely, "I don't remember how to call a few of them." ”"What can you remember, little brain?"
Mu Jinxi said with a smile, "Don't say that you are the same as the Queen Mother, I'm afraid that if you are the same generation, you won't recognize a few." ”"Hugh is going to talk nonsense."
Princess Fengyuan immediately puffed up and retorted, "I am so active in Shangjing, which clan relative of the same generation can escape my eyes. ”Mu Jinxi casually pointed to the next wave of families who were about to come out to pay homage to the Queen Mother: "That, do you know?"
”"Isn't it the eldest daughter of the county lord of Quang Ninh, what don't you know?"
Princess Fengyuan said casually, "Although the county lord's house in Guangning doesn't move around much, you shouldn't underestimate me. ”"I'm not talking about the eldest daughter of the county lord of Guangning, but the little one in the arms of the county lord of Guangning."
Mu Jinxi teased, "Do you know people's names?"
That's your same age. ”Princess Fengyuan suddenly became angry: "Mu Jinxi, you are playing tricks on me again." ”"How dare you fool Her Royal Highness the Princess."
Mu Jinxi said with a smile, "It's just that this banquet is dull at this time, and it's just a hot place for you." ”After the county lord of Quang Ninh passed, there were about seven or eight more houses, and at this time, someone's congratulatory gift carried a big guy.It is about more than one person tall, and when I take a red cloth and shine it, it seems that there is a big red flower tied to it, which makes it difficult to see clearly.Mu Jinxi looked at the shape and had a faint guess."
Whose gift is this?"
Only a gift was given, but no one was seen, apparently someone from a royal family in the fiefdom."
King Ye."
Mu Jinxi and the person who sang the salute pronounced the name almost at the same time.Princess Fengyuan was a little surprised: "Uncle Ye?
How did he transport such a big guy into Shangjing. ”"I'm afraid it wasn't transported into Shangjing."
Mu Jinxi's brows furrowed slightly, she vaguely remembered that Su Heng had mentioned that the capable person that Emperor Showa dug up from Jinling had been placed in the Tiangongfang, and the capable person recommended by Mu Jinzhi was also in that place, and the two of them were under the jurisdiction of King Ye's prince and were doing a big thing.Eighty percent of that's the big deal.Sure enough, a hunchbacked man suddenly ripped the red bula apart, revealing the true face of the behemoth.What Mu Jinxi saw was a black utensil made of copper, with two wheels driving underneath, as if to facilitate movement, and the main body was the thick cylinder on the top of the wheel, and the four characters 'longevity without borders' were cast in copper on the outside of the cylinder.This is clearly an improved version of the original earthen cannons.And the most important part of the improvement is not the shape of the gun, but something more core, but that kind of core thing must not be here at this moment.The hunchbacked man presented the paperwork to Emperor Showa.Emperor Showa carefully read: "Good!
Good!
That's great!
Try this artillery at the camp on the outskirts of Beijing one day!
”The gift of Ye Wangfu is not for the Empress Dowager Wan, but for Emperor Showa.Moreover, this gift made the emperor very satisfied.Emperor Showa ordered people to push the artillery away, and the whole person was much happier, and he didn't think about anything else, looked at Yan Xun and said, "Prince, what kind of birthday gift have you prepared for your imperial grandmother?"
”Yan Xun came out of the queue in response, and before she could speak, the Empress Dowager Wan, who had been silent, suddenly opened her mouth."
His birthday gift was received in advance."
Empress Dowager Wan said indifferently, "The prince is a filial person, knowing that the mourning family has a bad appetite recently, he specially sent the imperial doctor to ask for pulse, and after some diagnosis and treatment, it is really a lot better." ”That being said, the Queen Mother's appearance doesn't seem to be very gratifying.Mu Jinxi was stunned at first, and then thought that the Queen Mother had lived in Cining Palace for a long time, and no one was allowed to see her, but the prince still heard that the Queen Mother was unwell.That's a snooping on the palace, and it's the most feared for those in high positions.Yan Xun obviously also heard that Empress Dowager Wan was not very kind words.He secretly glanced at Emperor Showa's expression, and finally reluctantly squeezed out a look: "Please Rong Erchen sell a trick, and give the emperor's grandmother's birthday gift to the finale, why don't you ask the fourth brother to offer the birthday gift first." ”Originally, the first person should have been the first prince, but the eldest prince was still waiting for trial in the prison of Dali Temple at this time, and this person was naturally ignored by everyone.The circle of the powerful is so realistic, the tree is falling and scattering, when you collapse, how many dare to relate to you?
Yan Xun kept his head down when he spoke, so naturally he didn't notice the fleeting disappointment of Emperor Showa."
Well, let your fourth brother come first."
Emperor Showa looked at the four princes.The fourth prince seemed to be expected of this, he clapped his hands, and the sound of gongs and drums suddenly came from the stage built in the imperial garden, and a group of people in costumes babbled on the stage.Lu Juntang put a lot of effort into compiling this script, and according to Mu Jinxi's requirements, it must be full of ups and downs.So the entry point was placed on a peasant girl, and suddenly picked up a richly dressed son.At first glance, it seems to be a civilian girl who saved the little love of the down-and-out son.But looking at it, some people began to feel that something was wrong, why did the prince in the palace frequently arouse suspicions, and how could this prince outside care about national affairs everywhere.On closer thought, a conspiracy gradually emerged.Why did there be such a conspiracy at the Queen Mother's birthday banquet.Princess Fengyuan had long known that this play was an adaptation of "Tanuki for the Prince", but she didn't know that it was the one Mu Jinxi said before, and when the play ended, although she was still unsatisfied, she couldn't help but grab Mu Jinxi's cuffs again."
What am I talking about?
Isn't it ridiculous. ”Princess Fengyuan pretended to scoff, and in her heart she was actually thinking about whether the real prince would marry a civilian girl, "Where can such a big person be replaced, everyone behaves differently, how can it not be discovered!"
”"yes, how can it not be discovered?"
Mu Jinxi hid her teasing, echoed Princess Fengyuan, and looked towards the seat.Empress Dowager Wan was silent, Emperor Showa was faintly sad, and Empress Wang was expected by Mu Jinxi......
In a huff."
Ridiculous!"
Queen Wang immediately rebuked angrily, "It's ridiculous!
How do the four princes think, how can they show this kind of thing as a birthday gift to the Queen Mother, and they are not afraid of insulting the eyes of many nobles!
”In fact, it is not difficult to hear that there is still a trace of panic in the anger of the queen, as if all the harsh words are bluffing.The four princes bowed their hands: "This birthday gift was presented by the sons of the ministers, and the birthday gifts prepared by the sons were originally a piece of pure natural longevity stone formed by the sons, because it was too heavy and difficult to place, it had been sent directly to the Cining Palace." ”The words of the fourth prince aroused everyone's curiosity.Who is it that wants the four princes to present such a birthday gift on their behalf, or who can instruct the four princes to move?
Thinking of the play just now, some people have some unbelievable speculations in their hearts, can't their prince really be replaced?"
Who?
Which one is so rebellious, don't hurry up and press people up!
”Empress Wang suppressed her fright and looked at the four princes through gritted teeth.How can it be?
When pigs fly!
Queen Wang involuntarily looked at her son, but found that Yan Xun had her eyes closed from beginning to end, as if she knew something, and as if she didn't know anything, but the farce in front of her could no longer enter his heart.She looked away and focused on the stage.However, there was a burst of exclamations from the entrance to the garden.Queen Wang followed the voice and looked over, and when she swept the frost-colored figure, her breath suddenly stagnated: "No......
I must be dreaming. ”No one heard the queen murmuring.Almost everyone's eyes were fixed on the two men who suddenly appeared at the banquet.
