The fire tree and silver flowers bloom in the night sky, and the capital is once again a year of lanterns and festivities.
The palace banquet on New Year's Eve in the palace was already prepared, and when it was getting dark, Yufu and Gu Shubai finally appeared in the golden palace.
The ministers got up and saluted, watching him walking side by side in a costume, and they couldn't help showing a kindly smile.
It's good if they can come, and it should be later. Don't be like the last Mid-Autumn Festival banquet, until the banquet is over and they didn't show up.
Yufu and Gu Shubai sat down together, and the Ministry of Rites had given two plans for this. They said that two positions could be set, one in the middle of the front and the other in the back.
If she has any dissatisfaction with Gu Shubai, she can directly assign his seat to the courtiers.
Yufu didn't choose the last two, and ordered someone to set up a big seat at the top. The two of them sat side by side with each other, looking more intimate.
The ministers did not object to this. The first emperor and the first empress were also like this. The relationship between husband and wife is deep to a certain extent, so why bother to care about the courtesy of the emperor
At the top of the seat, even Gu Huaijiang participated in the palace banquet tonight, sitting with Gu Hanmo.
Everyone in Gu's house was invited into the palace by Yufu. Originally, she planned to go to the Gu's family with Gu Shubai after the palace banquet, but Gu Huaijiang didn't want her to leave early to cause the courtiers to discuss it. Palace New Year.
"Today is the night of New Year's Eve. All the Aiqing have worked hard for a year. I will offer a glass of water and wine to everyone."
Yufu smiled and raised the bottle, and the officials in the seat also raised the bottle accordingly. The wine entered the throat and the intestines were all happy. Yu helped the chopsticks, and the officials also moved the chopsticks.
Then there was a singing and dancing performance. While the music was strong, Gu Shubai leaned to Yufu's ear, "You can only have a drink. If you have more, you will be unconscious."
Yufu's complexion turned red, thinking that he had lost his morals after drinking, and hurriedly said: "I know, it's like using tea instead of wine when I'm away for a while."
Yufu is good at everything, except that the amount of drink is poor, and the wine is not flattering.
Gu Shubai wanted to look at her from time to time, so as not to miss a single eye, she ran to others to "drunk and lose virtue".
Tian Yunpo stood up from his seat and said: "On New Year's Eve, the minister respects your majesty a glass, and may your majesty...be the emperor of Beili as soon as possible."
Yufu had already picked up the wine glass and prepared to answer with a smile, when he suddenly heard the words that Tianyun broke, and almost threw the wine glass to the ground.
So early... Have you considered the emperor's issue
But when all the ministers heard this, they were busy responding, "Yes, your Majesty, General Gu, taking advantage of the stability of the current situation, extending the emperor's heir is the most important thing."
If there is a war again someday and Gu Shubai wants to leave the capital again, who will be responsible for the extension of the emperor's heir
Gu Shubai was a little embarrassed and coughed lightly with his hands covering his mouth.
They obviously shook hands and made peace, but Tian Yunpo still took the opportunity to tease them.
This situation is always not good enough for Yufu to speak, and Gu Shubai said: "Don't worry about this matter, don't worry about it. Your Majesty is still young, and it is not good for your body to give birth too early."
He can only say that, but he is not in a hurry.
Yufu put medicine on him, and it is him who can't give birth now. What's the use of his urgency
Yufu coughed lightly, "Yes, don't worry about the emperor's heir. If the Taishi has time to worry about my heir, it's better to worry about your own marriage."
In the last half of the sentence, she said almost every word.
As soon as this statement came out, the courtiers immediately looked at Tian Yunpo.
I almost forgot that there is still such a young talent in the DPRK who has not been married. Who has a daughter of school-age, can not care about this
This matter is more meaningful than your Majesty’s gossip!
Gu Shubai took the opportunity to say: "Yes, Master Tiantai is not too young anymore, he should be twenty-five, right? This age is not yet married, I'm afraid it will hinder the heirs..."
Tianyun froze for a moment, and Gu Shubai used his words to stop him? !
This Gu Shubai looks serious on weekdays, and it really caught people off guard.
He laughed awkwardly, trying to conceal the doubts of his ministers in a certain aspect of his ability, "The situation is uncertain, how can you get married? In the past, it was because your majesty had not returned to the court, and the ministers had no time to marry, so they gradually forgot. In fact, the minister is at this age. It's not too big, you can choose slowly..."
"Not big yet?"
Yufu pretended to be surprised, "It's already very big, Master Tiantai. If you don't marry a wife at your age, the ladies of the right age will soon call you uncle."
Uncle completely choked to death, Tian Yunpo.
Yufu smiled unkindly and said: "I remember that the young girl in the Taibao's family is a dignified beauty. I have seen it before and I like it very much. I have always thought about what kind of person such a character should be equipped with. Talents are good. It was originally intended to be rationed to Shi Lang, but now..."
Gu Shilang was referring to Gu Wenqing, who was the head of the military department. He almost jumped out of his seat when he heard Yufu's words.
Tian Yunpo even met the stitches, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, it is very good to ration Gu Shilang! They are of the same age, and I am an uncle, so how am I embarrassed to marry someone who is a young lady? What's more, if I marry a lady from the Taibao family Isn't it a generation away from Zhang Taibao?"
Gu Wenqing also said anxiously: "Your Majesty, the ministers are not very talented, and have not yet established meritorious service in the political path. It is really not appropriate to marry a wife."
A distinguished Miss Miao Ling was pushed around by two unmarried young talents in North Korea. How could Zhang Jiuque's face be kept
Originally, Yufu only used Tianyunpo to change the subject, and took revenge on him by the way.
She smiled at Zhang Jiuque and said: "Taibao rest assured, I will definitely choose a son-in-law for you, and I will never let down a talent like Miss Zhang. As for whether to be mate to Master Tiantai, I will think hard."
She said that she must make a good selection for her daughter, which must be unusual. Zhang Jiuque stood up and said, "The minister, thank you for the little girl, Your Majesty."
Regardless of who you choose in the future, and your majesty’s imperial decree grants you a marriage, this honor is not something ordinary officials can get.
After the palace banquet was over, Yufu and the Gu family returned to the East Palace to keep the old age. By the way, Kun Yuyang and his two children joined.
Their orphans and widows are helpless, and they have been living in the East Palace under the care of jade. Now they are thinking of them even during the New Year, Kun Yuyang is very grateful.
"Yufu, I think that after the new year, I should still take the children out of the palace."
Kun Yuyang suddenly said this, Yufu was slightly surprised, "Why suddenly thought of moving out?"
Kun Yu said: "Tonight, the courtiers in the palace mentioned the imperial heir. I think the East Palace is the prince's residence after all. What is the matter of living here with my children? Although the prince cannot be born so soon, some things should be prepared early. good."
Yufu also found it reasonable. She and Kun Yuyang are close friends, but Kun Yuyang is a military commander in the DPRK after all, so it might be more convenient for her to move out of the palace.
Let's have Lin Xuan...
Yufu thought to himself that if Kun Yuyang moved out of the palace, maybe her relationship with Lin Xuan would make more progress.
Thinking of this, she nodded and said: "Okay, but don't worry, there are many things in the next year, and it will take time to order the Ministry of Household to choose a residence for you. Besides, the weather is cold now, why don't you move after spring?"
Kun Yuyang nodded, "Alright."
Yufu agreed so easily, Kun Yuyang vaguely understood what she was for, but that thing... After all, Yufu was going to disappoint them.
She was worried that Yufu would ask about this, so she looked for other topics to cover, "By the way, Brother Seven said to stay together to keep the year old, but he wanted to come to the East Palace after attending the palace banquet, and was sent away by the Yulin Army. Seven I don’t know where I’m staying alone. I just want to laugh when I think about it, hahaha!"
Yufu was still a little guilty when he heard the previous words, and then heard Kun Yuyang's laughter behind him, he couldn't help but laugh, "Well, it's your brother anyway, he is so happy that he stays alone in his old age?"
…
In fact, no one in Kunwu injury stays alone.
He knew that in his own capacity, he naturally couldn't stay in Miyagi at night, let alone an important place in the East Palace
It was not surprising that he was beaten up. He sat on the carriage and ordered people to go to the post.
The carriage stopped outside the door, and the noise was not loud, but the people at the post house quickly heard it and came out to check it out.
Tonight is New Year's Eve, and no one will come in the rest of the day. The post is exceptionally deserted, and naturally a little voice can't escape everyone's ears.
The soldiers guarding the post house came out and saw that Kun Wu was injured. They were surprised for a while, "The New Year's Eve, why did Kun Di come here?"
Kun Wu smiled sadly: "I am unaccompanied in the capital, and only the elder brother, the prince, is here. So bringing some wine and food to have a meal with him is considered a brother."
The soldiers couldn't help being amused. The two brothers had a hard time fighting when they lived here together. Now they are separated, and this one comes to find the other with wine and food.
But it makes sense to think about it. Xikun is dead, what else can their brothers dispute
After all, brothers.
Lun Yue passed the silver to the soldiers and said, "Brother, it's not easy for you to stay at the post house for the New Year's Eve. Just take a nap, let us go in for your convenience!"
The soldier thought for a while, and now the DPRK doesn't care about the Prince Xikun anymore. What's more, he is also very ill and can survive shortly afterwards, so what if Kunwu is injured
He is your Majesty's junior, and he has been doing well in the capital recently. He will also participate in the palace banquet on New Year's Eve tonight, so he is not guilty of offending him.
Then he gave in, "Don't make it difficult for us to do just that, don't fight, that person can't stand the fight anymore."
Kun Wushang felt a little sad when he heard this, and nodded, "Thank you."
After that, Lun Yue walked inward.
He was very familiar with the courtyard where Kun Junyue lived, and he walked in familiarly.
Only the two upper rooms in the middle were lit with lights, and there was no warm and fragrant food around the stove, only the slightly bitter medicine smell came out of the room.
Kun Wu walked inward, and Kun Junyue's attendants saw him as if they had seen a ghost, lest he be against Kun Junyue and stand in front of Kun Junyue's bed.
Kun Wu lifted the flask in his hand and motioned to everyone, "Don't worry, I'm here to drink with Brother Huang. Tonight is New Year's Eve."
Kun Junyue's attendants are still vigilant, Kunwu glanced behind them with a sad smile, "If this is the case, if I want his life, do I need to talk nonsense with you?"
"You all get out of the way."
On the bed, Kun Junyue struggled to get up, unwilling to relax a little bit in front of Kunwu's injury, maintaining his dignity as a prince and an elder brother.
He fixedly stared at Kun Wu hurt, the attendant hurriedly put on his coat and helped him to walk slowly.
Kun Wushang Chao Lun glanced more and more, the latter opened the food box in his hand and placed the wine and dishes on it.
"These wines and vegetables are not available outside. I specially asked the people in the Imperial Dining Room to prepare an extra portion for me, which cost a lot of money. Brother Huang also tasted, whether Beili's Imperial Food is more delicious than Xikun."
Kun Wu was hurt, sat down and gestured towards Kun Junyue.
Kun Junyue sat down opposite him and waved her hand, "You all go down, there is no need to wait here."
The attendants around him hesitated, Kun Junyue sneered, "As he said, if he wants my life at this time, you can't stop it."
He is a grand prince Xikun, but now in the capital, whoever wants his life can do it, and he can't resist.
Kun Wushang only smiled and did not speak, the attendants retreated, and Lun Yue retreated, leaving only their brothers in the house.
They used to fight for the supreme position in Xikun, and they were fighting like a raging fire. Who would have thought that they would sit together and talk peacefully
Kun Wu mentioned the jug and filled him with a glass, "I know you are not suitable for drinking, but you drink a lot on weekdays, so I think it's not bad for this glass."
Kun Junyue was locked up in the post, and had nothing to do except to relieve his sorrows by drinking. Could it be true that he should go to the shop where Kunwu was injured
Kunwu can afford to lose this person, but he can't afford it.
He raised his neck and drank, then raised his head and looked at Kun Wu hurt in a provocative manner, "What the hell are you here for, just say it! Now that's the case, do you still mean to be oblivious?"
Kun Wu said hurt: "If I said it was just boring on New Year's Eve, I came to you for a drink, would you believe it?"
Kun Junyue paused, then suddenly raised her head and laughed, "Believe! Why don't you believe it? What's the point of fighting between you and me now? Xikun is gone, all the princes and Kundi are gone!"
What if nothing is gone, even if the fortune teller is gone
He has nothing to worry about in this world. Born to be boring, why not die
Kun Wu hurt himself and poured himself a glass of wine, and took up Jing Kun Jun Yue, "I respect you for this glass. With the sight of Xikun back then, it is also human nature for you to use vicious means to consolidate the crown prince. Although, I I still can't forget how you slaughtered your hands and feet, how even Yu Yang was willing to send to Dongling for your own status."
Kun Junyue chuckled, "You are so stupid, Yu Yang can't figure it out, why can't you figure it out? Isn't it okay to let her marry Dongling? There is still a chance for Dongling to stay. What have become of the brothers and sisters in Xikun?"
Death to death, wound to injury.
Encircled in the circle, exiled in exile, the rest of life is better than struggling in the hall of death.
Even if he Kun Junyue is the most proud prince, but his hands are covered with blood from his relatives, the midnight dream is full of sorrow.
No one is the final winner, whether it's him or Kunwu's injury.
Kun Wu was silent for a moment, "Ruo Ningxuan is still alive, and Yu Yang is indeed the happiest of us brothers and sisters. It's a pity... I personally closed the source of these misfortunes, and there is nothing to regret."
He was referring to Quinti.
Although the poison in Kundi's body was caused by Kun Junyue year after year, the real fatal blow was from Kunwu's injury.
Kun Junyue poured himself a glass of wine and held it up to touch Kun Wu hurt, "Although I don't have any grudges, but I will die soon. When I die, there will be no grudges anymore."
The dust returns to the dust, and when it reaches the ground, I don't know if those brothers still resent him
He has been thinking about this issue recently, and he always thinks about the brothers and feet who died under his own plan in his sickness, and he can't tell whether he regrets or is afraid.
The two drank the wine in their glasses in silence, silently.
Kun Wu hurt put down the wine glass, looked up at him, and suddenly smiled, "It's not that I will die soon, but now. Now, you are going to die."
Kun Junyue glanced at him in surprise and looked at his wine glass, "This wine is poisonous?"
Kunwu looked at him pityingly, "There is only one antidote, and I have taken it beforehand. This poison has no solution, and it will happen soon. If you have any last words, just leave a few words."
Kun Junyue suddenly laughed, because he laughed too hard, a lot of blood poured out of his mouth.
The waiter who had been guarding the door heard what was happening inside, and hurriedly rushed in from the outside, and saw Kun Junyue slumped back to the ground.
