Chapter 779: Above and below the birthday banquet

Views:

[Two thousand words and three changes, changed to three thousand words and two changes - come out before two o'clock. 】

The top of the shoulders moved forward slowly, and wherever it went, it was like smashing waves, and the dancers who were blocking the front bowed and retreated.

And the identity of the child was ten times faster than Jianyu's speed, and it spread to every corner of the birthday banquet like a plague.

Grandson!

Prince's 'son'!

Almost in the blink of an eye, the hustle and bustle of changing glasses at the banquet was replaced by a dead silence.

Even the sound of dancing and music around seemed to be shielded from the square.

Among the civil and military elites present, although there will inevitably be a few who are arrogant, the vast majority are official elites.

When they saw the three tables and chairs side by side in the center before, many people noticed that the emperor intended to lift Jia Yuanchun, or even to abolish the idea of establishing a prince.

In the blink of an eye, the grandson, who had been discussed in the streets for two years, but had never appeared in front of others, suddenly appeared at the birthday banquet with great fanfare.

If it is said that this is not the prince's counterattack, it is estimated that even a fool will not believe it!

So for a while, hundreds of pairs of eyes stared straight at the small figure, but the emotions contained in it were different.

Among them, the most special idea is naturally Sun Shaozong.

It was his idea to make Taisun appear at the birthday banquet, and just through the abnormal behavior of the Crown Princess, he had already guessed that Taisun was going to appear on the stage 80% of the time.

Therefore, he naturally did not have much horror in his heart. Instead, after staring at the Taisun for a few times, he sighed leisurely:

It turns out that this tiger-headed baby is the grandson of the emperor who was concocted by Lao Tzu!

Although the shoulders are slowly moving forward, the distance of these dozens of steps will always come to an end.

Seeing that the emperor was approaching, the two little eunuchs carefully removed it from their shoulders, and then swiftly knelt down on the shoulders.

Immediately afterwards, I saw the little man, first turned around and lay on the shoulders, then twisted his body to rub down a little bit, and when his feet were firmly on the ground, he was not in a hurry to straighten up. Instead, he stretched out his hand and pulled something in the shoulder.

After a while, he finally straightened his back, but there was an extra fist-sized peach in his hand.

The little man held Shou Tao, and slowly turned the direction. First, he looked around in confusion, then looked for the emperor in front of him, and moved closer step by step.

The emperor was also watching him, watching him blankly.

In the eyes of the emperor, there is probably not much kindness.

Therefore, the child was still a certain distance away from the imperial case, so he stood timidly, shrugged his shoulders and raised his head, and looked at the emperor aggrieved.

Time seemed to freeze at this moment.

At the birthday banquet of hundreds of people, the music was still melodious, and the dance steps did not stop, but all the guests in the banquet were like clay tires and wood plastic, and there was no sound at all.

Everyone's eyes are changing back and forth between the views of the emperor and the grandson, for fear of missing the slightest detail.

In all dynasties, the matter of seizing the heirs is the most dangerous struggle in the courtroom, not to mention the winners and losers. There are countless officials who were innocently implicated!

So even if you don't want to participate in the heirloom, you can't help but hope that you can see some clues, and in the future, you can use this to avoid evil and avoid murder.

It seemed like a long time, but it seemed like a short moment.

The grandson, who was holding the longevity peach, finally took the initiative to break the stalemate - he avoided the emperor's gaze, and began to look back uneasily, as if he was expecting something.

And the figure he was looking forward to, really appeared at the right time.

Seeing that behind the stage, another dignified and graceful figure flashed out, catching up unhurriedly.

Needless to say, this person is naturally the Crown Princess Sun.

But seeing her approaching the grandson of the emperor, he first bowed to his knees and said long live, then took the little hand of the grandson and said in a persuasive manner: "Sir, what did your father teach you before? Let the grandfather listen to you too. listen."

The warm words and graceful demeanor greatly eased the panic of the grandson, so he tilted his head and swept back and forth between the crown princess and Emperor Guangde several times, and suddenly said in a milky voice: " Emperor, grandfather, longevity."

As soon as he finished speaking, he threw himself into the arms of the Crown Princess and acted coquettishly.

Although this short sentence was divided into three paragraphs, and some words were unclear, it was quite rare for a child who was less than two years old.

If this was a birthday banquet in another family, the grandson would congratulate him so much. It is estimated that the guests would have already shouted hello, and they would have made countless flattery shots.

However…

At this time, the birthday banquet was still deadly silent.

People are still waiting for the emperor's attitude, even Sun Shaozong, who is the initiator, does not dare to take the lead at this time.

Time seemed to freeze again, and this time because of the presence of the Crown Princess, the atmosphere seemed to be more solemn than before.

Except for the emperor himself, no one can break this second stalemate.

However, when the emperor looked at the small figure, he seemed to be lost in contemplation. For a long time, he did not have the slightest reaction, nor did he take the initiative to break the deadlock.

The dignified atmosphere gradually slipped to embarrassment.

If the stalemate continues like this, the grandson's debut will likely turn into an absurd farce.

"Your Majesty, what happened?"

At this moment, a voice finally broke the silence.

Accompanying this voice was a middle-aged woman dressed in a phoenix crown and surrounded by several noble ladies.

This middle-aged woman is not someone else, but the Queen Zhao who once had a relationship with Sun Shaozong.

"My younger brother has seen the Queen's Sister-in-law."

Although this Empress Zhao asked Emperor Guangde a question as soon as she appeared, it was not the emperor who reacted first, but King Zhongshun, who was sitting at the right head.

He took the lead, and the other two princes on the opposite side also got up to greet him.

The rest of the civil and military nobles naturally also stood up, but they were not qualified to greet Empress Zhao, so they could only bow silently.

After Empress Zhao bowed to the three princes and returned the salute, she stepped forward to take the child from the crown princess's hands, hugged Emperor Guangde herself, and said with a smile, "Your Majesty was surprised by this child's intelligence. , how come you haven't seen a response for a long time?"

The emperor raised his head and looked at her, then slowly got up, looked at the child carefully, and finally said word by word: "It is really smart."

No matter how you hear it, it sounds like a pun.

But the queen laughed even more happily, the crow's feet at the corners of her eyes were tightly wrinkled together, and then she hugged the child and turned back and joked: "Princess De, when his little uncle is born, he can't let this be a nephew. The beauty of the former.”

And following her teasing, Sun Shaozong hurriedly widened his eyes to take a look - to tell the truth, although he has been in and out of Jingren Palace several times, he has never seen this concubine of Germany.

In terms of appearance, it is somewhat similar to Jia Tanchun.

However, between Jia Tanchun's brows, there is always a bit of stubbornness and strength that cannot be concealed.

And although they have similar facial features, this Jia Yuanchun looks pleasing and soft.

As for stature...

Wrapped in that wide auspicious costume, you can see that there is a ghost.

However, when he heard Empress Zhao's teasing, Jia Yuanchun smiled and leaned over slightly: "I'm so stupid, I'm afraid I can't train children better than the princess."

In fact, Queen Zhao's joke also buried a trap in advance.

But Jia Yuanchun was not fooled, he didn't mention the fetus in his womb at all, he just admitted that he couldn't compare to the Crown Princess.

At least on the bright side, there is absolutely no fault in this statement.

Therefore, Empress Zhao smiled, and no longer aimed at her, but turned around with the child in her arms and said, "Your Majesty, it's nothing to be a concubine, but Concubine De's sister has two bodies, should she be seated first, so as not to hurt her body? "

Emperor Guangde was stunned at this time, and he was busy inviting Empress Zhao and Jia Yuanchun to the table, and ordered the eunuch to set up a separate table to entertain the several clan-ordered wives who followed Empress Zhao.

And this time the prince also rushed over with a gift from the Emperor Taishang, so after a lot of tossing, the 'confrontation between grandfather and grandson' just now seemed to be over.

However, none of the civil and military officials present seriously thought that this matter had passed smoothly!

So when the banquet resumed, there was always a strange atmosphere mixed with the happy and smiling faces when the cup was changed.

Not to mention the banquet.

Among the clan ladies who followed Empress Zhao, there was one person who kept looking at Sun Shaozong at the banquet.

This person is none other than Wei Shi, the princess of Beijing.

Previously, she stormed into the Dali Temple court in anger, but unexpectedly encountered the scene where Lord Niu hit a wall and died.

At that time, it was cloudy and foggy, and I just felt inexplicable.

Later, when he returned home, he repeatedly asked Xia Jingui, but she perfunctoryly pushed and resisted.

And because Wei Ruolan had just been released from prison at that time, the two sisters and brothers couldn't stop talking about themselves, so naturally they didn't delve further into the matter.

However, her perception of Sun Shaozong in the depths of her heart inevitably changed.

And with the news that Sun Shaozong did not hesitate to disobey the will of the imperial court in order to save an innocent child two days ago, this perception changed again.

In fact, to be honest, there are still many heroic deeds of Sun Shaozong in the past, many of which are not necessarily inferior to this performance.

However, because of Wei Ruolan, Princess Beijing had a grudge in her heart, and she would inevitably view Sun Shaozong's actions with prejudice.

And this time...

Many rumors lingered in my heart, but Princess Beijing didn't know how to evaluate this man.

Shameless

Upright

Favoritism

Fair and honest

Looking at Sun Shaozong at the banquet, Wei Ying's heart seemed to reflect many different faces.

Some are kind and upright, some are ferocious, some are just and righteous, and some are eloquent.

Of course, it was inevitable that there would be a red-faced, panting face.

Bah~

What are you thinking about? !

Princess Beijing spat at herself in the bottom of her heart, looked at King Beijing Shuirong not far away with a guilty conscience, and then forced herself to swear in her heart: I will find an opportunity another day, and I will definitely kill this shameless beast and wash it away. The insult to myself!
