"Continue to investigate." Murong Yu didn't believe that one person could really cross the water without a trace, "Is there any news from the Eastern Chu Kingdom?"
"It has just been reported, but there is still no trace of the woman the prince is looking for."
"Keep looking. Don't miss any place in the entire Eastern Chu Kingdom."
"Yes. My lord, my subordinates don't understand, that woman"
"Wu Ying, you talk too much." Murong Yu's handsome face turned cold.
"Subordinates are talkative." Wu Ying turned into a nighthawk and blended into the night.
Murong Yu took out a scroll from some calligraphy and painting scrolls, and slowly unfolded it, a few strands of softness appeared on his cold and stern face.
Recalling the day when we met in Peach Blossom Lane, she was bathed in the bright spring light, she was beautiful, but cold and cold, even more tantalizing than the appearance of having fun under him that night.
He stared at those watery, bright apricot eyes that seemed to be talking: Even if I dig three feet into the ground, I will find you out
It wasn't until noon that Murong Ci found out that Concubine Xiao Gui was hosting a banquet in the Palace of Hundred Flowers.
Ru commented that His Highness was full of gloomy eyes, and persuaded worriedly: "Your Highness, the matter has come to this, why don't you think of a way."
No wonder His Highness is so angry, there are already two Liang Dies in the East Palace, and they usually bother His Highness a lot, His Highness already finds it extremely annoying. If there are a few more women, such as the crown princess or side concubine, then His Highness will not be able to do as he pleases.
Furthermore, the regent made it clear that he wanted to send people to the East Palace and deploy his eyes and ears. Given his strength, is there any room for His Highness to refuse
The Baihua Palace banquet starts at You hour, but those noble ladies and famous ladies will enter the palace after noon, and now there are female relatives entering the palace one after another.
Ruyi looked at Qin Ruo helplessly, "Qin Ruo, you have a good brain, think of a way."
Qin Ruo pouted and shook her head, "I can't think of a way either."
At this time, a voice from the servant came from outside: "Your Highness, the Regent has sent someone to send a message. Please go to the Imperial Garden in an hour."
When Murong Ci heard this, he became even more upset.
According to Murong Yu's domineering and arrogant personality, he will definitely mess up the couple's score at the palace banquet.
Sometimes she paces back and forth anxiously, sometimes rubs the center of her brows in annoyance, sometimes closes her eyes and meditates, the boat will naturally straighten when it reaches the bridge.
Qin Ruo suggested: "His Royal Highness, why don't you just say you're sick?"
"If His Highness claims to be sick, the Regent will send an imperial doctor to diagnose and treat him, and then he will be exposed," Ruyi said.
"Your Highness is going to the palace banquet openly. When the time comes, the regent wants to mess up the mandarin ducks. His Highness may say that he has a hidden disease, so that those young ladies will retreat." Qin Ruo said again.
"Is that okay?" Ruyi questioned.
"Ruyi, change clothes for me." Murong Ci walked towards the bedroom, his brows were full of gloom.
There is an open space in the Imperial Garden, which is used today as the venue for the Baihua Palace Banquet.
Surrounded by exotic flowers and flowers, the fragrance of the flowers is overwhelming, making many ladies and ladies even more charming.
Youshi has not yet arrived, and the prince has not yet arrived. These ladies dressed in fashion and well-dressed are wearing flowers, brushing willows, admiring flowers and chatting in the garden. The laughter spread with the wind of early summer.
This time the palace banquet was supervised by Concubine Xiao, and all the big and small affairs were handed over to the close palace servants. At this time, she was sitting in front of the dressing table, being dressed by the close servants.
Although she is twenty-five years old, compared with those young girls in their twenties and eight years, she is a bit more charming, like a ripe peach, with thin skin, juicy, sweet and soft, more attractive .
The Prince Regent will also be here today, so she will naturally dress up more beautifully, so as to compare with those young girls in their prime, so that his eyes will not be attracted by others.
The hateful thing is that this time His Majesty survived the catastrophe, and his condition is getting better day by day.
Originally, she thought that if His Majesty died, the regent could use a trick to kill the prince, and then he would ascend to the throne of God and rule the world in a legitimate way. And she can become his woman, even a queen, the mother of the world.
After serving His Majesty for six years, she was already tired of it, and wished that His Majesty kicked his legs to death earlier.
At this time, a servant from Qingyuan Hall came to pass a message: "Concubine, Your Majesty wants to see you."
Concubine Xiao squinted angrily, not resting at this moment, what do you want her to do
"Report to Your Majesty on behalf of the Palace. I supervise the Baihua Palace Banquet. Everything is complicated and I can't get away. I will visit Your Majesty later."
"Yes." The servant stepped back respectfully.
Looking at the gorgeous oval face in the bronze mirror, she smiled enigmatically.
Imperial Garden.
Foreign wives and well-known ladies are seated, Concubine Xiao's banquet is the first among all the concubines, and the first two banquets in the north are for the regent and the prince.
Those famous ladies were looking forward to it, especially the daughters of the four great families, who were full of expectations for this Baihua Palace banquet.
The palace family of the prime minister's mansion, the Yang family of the Taiwei's mansion, the Tang family of Duke Qing, and the Fang family of Rong Guo, these four great families are the family of Zhongming Dingshi that has prospered for hundreds of years and has cultivated many talents for the court. Their daughters, especially the prostitutes, were carefully nurtured and brought up with a lot of effort.
Who is less
When Nian Lang marries the daughter of the four great families, he will be able to rise to the top and enjoy endless glory and wealth.
However, most of them have their eyes above the top, and if they are not the best men in the world, they will look down on them.
At this time, the servant's announcement came from mid-air: "The regent is here and the prince is here!"
The girls originally whispered to each other in twos and threes, but now they got up and turned their heads to look.
Concubine Xiao Gui also looked up, her heart beating thumpingly.
The person at the front is the crown prince wearing a silk-colored embroidered python brocade robe, and the one behind is the regent wearing a black rolled-gold python robe.
I saw that the prince was petite and slender, with slightly hunched shoulders and no bearing, while the regent Wang Junwei was tall and straight, walking like a dragon and walking like a tiger, with an extraordinary bearing.
The prince has a handsome face, but he has a playful smile on his face, winks and flirtatiously at the ladies, flirtatious and dissolute.
The Prince Regent is handsome, unblinking, calm and resolute, a bit more tough and iron-blooded masculinity than the prince, which is unforgettable at first sight.
In contrast, it is a judgment call.
The young lady who had longed for the prince was greatly disappointed, and looked at the regent resolutely, expecting to attract his attention.
The prince is not only weak and wretched, frivolous, but also timid and cowardly, a veritable idiot.
The regent, at the age of ten, served in the army with his elder brother, the previous royal king. At the age of fourteen, he became famous in the first battle. At the age of eighteen, he commanded 200,000 troops to defeat the enemy's 400,000 troops. At the age of twenty, he commanded the three armies. Five years ago, he was summoned to return to the court, and His Majesty had to personally appoint the Regent to take over the affairs of the court. He is wise and wise, diligent in government affairs, and well-known in the world. Even if he replaces "Swallow", I believe his subjects will not object too much.
All in all, the prince can't even compare to the regent's finger.
In this way, at the beginning of his debut, the Prince Regent gained all his fans.
Seeing the shameless and obsessed faces of those girls, Concubine Xiao was so angry that her teeth itch.
Murong Ci sat down at the banquet table on the left, and said with a smile: "Excuse me, everyone."
Murong Yu seemed to have understood everything, and raised his voice: "Your Majesty's dragon body is not in good condition, today's palace banquet will be presided over by the crown prince and this king. The crown prince is informal, so you don't have to be restrained. Eat and drink as much as you want."
After that, the palace banquet officially began.
Concubine Xiao Gui raised her glass to pay respects to him, he nodded coldly and drank half of the glass as entertainment.
She was very lost in her heart, why did the prince look at her so coldly? Could it be that her makeup today is not good-looking, with those young and young girls, it must be like this when she looks old.
Those bastards are really shameless, they are blatantly seducing the prince one by one in broad daylight.
"The crown prince is not young, so he should choose a few concubines to serve in the East Palace. This is also His Majesty's wish." Murong Yu's deep black eyes were piercing, "Noble concubine, what good idea do you have?"
"My lord, I heard that all the ladies from famous families in Beijing are full of talents, why don't you invite them to perform and let the crown prince take a good look at it." Concubine Xiao smiled charmingly.
"good idea."
"Then let's start with the daughters of the Gong family, the Yang family, the Tang family and the Fang family." She said delicately, showing her style to the maximum.
Murong Yu looked at the wives and daughters of the four great aristocratic families, his sharp eyes stared at them uneasy.
Murong Ci suddenly clapped his palms and smiled excitedly, "Do you want to choose a princess for me? That's great. No need to perform. Now you all come here to serve me and drink. Choose whichever one suits me best. Which."
Murong Yu's handsome face suddenly darkened, and his eyes were cold.
In fact, he knew that His Highness did it on purpose, and this was His Highness's countermeasure.
Those ladies and ladies looked at each other in blank dismay, some lowered their heads, some scoffed, and some blushed.
The crown prince is so dissolute and shameless, he ignores the palace rules, and behaves like His Majesty.
Murong Ci smiled frivolously, "Come over here, it's fun together."
"Your Highness" Murong Yu spoke coldly, without turning to look at the people around him, "No nonsense"
"I'm not messing around, don't you want me to choose?" She said wronged and innocently, "Okay, I don't want them to serve you anymore."
After finishing speaking, she suddenly stood up and walked to the center below, her bright eyes shining brightly, "Every lady is as beautiful as a flower, full of talent and beauty, I don't know how to choose. You all come up, let me have a good look .”
With the approval of the regent, those ladies came forward reluctantly.
Murong Ci squinted at them, almost drooling.
Seeing this, they retreated one after another, and couldn't help but look at each other: Who would marry such a prince
She suddenly took out a silk handkerchief from her skirt and tied it around her eyes self-consciously, "I thought of an ingenious way, you dodge here, you can't go out, and if I catch any ones, you will kill them." Marry me."
Those girls want to cry but have no tears, and their faces are full of lovelessness.
Oh my god, this is too much fun. They want to marry such a fatuous and licentious prince. They would rather die than marry.
Murong Yu raised his sword eyebrows, his eyes were cold and stern, Your Highness, you really know how to play.
Not only are they unwilling to marry, but their parents also don't want such a prince to be their son-in-law.
This is tough enough
