The crowd sat down for a while before Emperor Anqing appeared.
Emperor Anqing was in his 40s, with a pale face and slightly fat, with a two-stroke beard, very rich. When everyone saw him appear, they quickly got up and saluted. Emperor Anqing waved his hand, signaling everyone to get up. Only then did he instruct the eunuch who was behind him to hold a banquet.
The eunuch sang aloud "Open banquet", and the music changed, becoming more and more extravagant. The palace people brought the appetizers one after another, and placed them on the small table in a quiet and orderly manner. for guests to enjoy.
In the center of the hall, a group of dancers dressed in very thin gauze, stepped forward gracefully with bare feet, slowly bowed to Emperor Anqing, and then began to spin and dance.
Emperor Anqing seemed to be in high spirits, reclining on the small table, watching the dance and rhythm to the music.
An Changqing was not interested in singing and dancing, but kept pouring wine from the jug. This snow plum wine has a light taste and does not irritate his throat. He likes it very much. After only five or six drinks, the wine glass was taken away by Xiao Zhige.
Xiao Zhige took a piece of beef with dried tangerine peel from the plate and put it in his bowl, and said without saying, "Don't be greedy for the cup, eat some vegetables to press your stomach."
An Changqing reluctantly glanced at the jug that was put on the other side, and had to eat the food obediently. After eating, seeing that Xiao Zhige hadn't moved his chopsticks, he took a jade cucumber for him, and said with a smile, "My lord also eats it."
"..." Xiao Zhige stared at the cucumber in the bowl, he didn't like to eat it on weekdays. Seeing An Changqing smiling like a little fox, it was clearly revenge for not giving him wine. Xiao Zhige's mouth overflowed with a helpless smile, but he picked up the cucumber and ate it.
The actions of the two were all watched by Emperor An Qing. He squinted at An Changqing: "Why does the second child squeeze a table with the princess?"
Before the two could answer, the crown prince smiled and said, "I don't know what the royal father is. Originally, the position of the princess was arranged on the side of the ladies. The second brother couldn't bear the princess, so he brought people here."
"Oh?" Emperor An Qing squinted and smiled, his eyes swept across Xiao Zhige and An Changqing, and said indifferently: "The second one can squeeze if he likes it, but..."
He suddenly changed his words: "I heard that the second daughter-in-law has spent a lot of money recently, and bought a lot of winter clothes and charcoal? It costs a lot, right? Princess, you should also have a degree..."
After speaking, the smile on Emperor Anqing's face faded. Anyone with eyes can see it. This is knocking the mountain and shaking the tiger, and taking the opportunity to knock the King of the Northern War.
To say that among these three princes, who is the richest is undoubtedly Xiao Zhige, the king of the Northern War.
After Xiao Zhige left the palace and opened the mansion, he has bought a lot of Zhuangzi shops, and the business has been pretty good over the years, and he has made a lot of money. But these are just small heads. Which prince has few Zhuangzi shops under his name. The most profitable one is the iron ore concentrate in Yanzhou.
Yanzhou borders the northern desert, the land is barren, and has been invaded by Beidi people for years. It was very poor. It's just that the Northern War King didn't know what luck he took. A concentrated iron ore was dug up in Yanzhou. There were only three iron concentrate mines in Daye before. Now that another one is discovered, Emperor Anqing is naturally overjoyed.
Emperor Anqing was indulging in pleasure, but now that the national treasury was getting poorer every year, he came up with the idea of iron ore concentrate.
Who knew that Xiao Zhige, under the banner that Yanzhou soldiers and people were difficult to defend the city, asked Anqing Emperor Kaien to use 80% of the iron ore concentrate for the defense construction of Yanzhou city wall. At that time, the winter had just passed, and the soldiers and people of Yanzhou were all guarding the city and losing soldiers. Xiao Zhige handed the book up at this time.
At the same time, he gave Xiao Zhige a hard note in his heart.
After many years, Emperor Anqing thought of this matter more and more disliked Xiao Zhige. Now, I heard from the chamberlain that the princess of the Northern War was worth more than one million taels of silver when she made a move, and Emperor Anqing was even more dissatisfied, so he deliberately used the topic at the palace banquet.
An Changqing frowned and was about to get up to explain. But Xiao Zhige held his hand. Shaking his head slightly at him, Xiao Zhige got up and bowed and said, "Father Emperor Mingjian, this matter was at the behest of my son."
Emperor Anqing raised his brows, slapped his palm on the table, and hummed, "That would be even more nonsense."
Everyone else held their breaths to watch the follow-up.
But seeing Xiao Zhige's face did not change his expression: "A few days ago, when Erchen went to the camp outside the city, he encountered a mad Taoist. The mad Taoist said that Erchen killed too much in his previous life, and he was afraid that it would affect those close to him. A good deed that saves tens of millions of people can resolve the evil of murder and accumulate blessings for the relatives. Later, he said that Ye Jing would be disturbed by the snowstorm soon, and he should make preparations early to eliminate the evil of murder."
"That mad Taoist looked crazy, but he didn't look like an ordinary person. Erchen wanted to bring the person back for interrogation, but he disappeared without a trace. When Erchen saw the mystery, he was half-trusted and ordered the princess to stock up on such things for the winter. "
Emperor Anqing was a Taoist, and over the years, Xunxian asked how many Taoist priests he had invited to Yejing. There is also a Taoist immortal master who lives in the palace to refine pills. Hearing what Xiao Zhige said this time, there was indeed a look of hesitation on his face.
At this time, the prince smiled warmly, and seemed to have no intention of saying: "The immortal master who has come and gone without a trace can also calculate that there will be a catastrophe in the near future. Second brother?"
The Anqing Emperor, who was still hesitating, really changed his face slightly.
Xiao Zhige said solemnly: "The murder is in my body, and it should be eliminated by me. Why work the father and the emperor."
The other third prince curled his lips and said, "This crazy Taoist may not be telling the truth, maybe he is really a lunatic."
"I'd rather believe what it is than not believe what it doesn't." Xiao Zhige glanced at him: "How dare you take the safety of people close to you and the safety of Yejing as a joke?"
Seeing that the three brothers had their own opinions, Emperor Anqing waved his hands and said, "Forget it, since the second child has already prepared these things. Just wait for the winter to pass and see."
When he said this, the Crown Prince and the Third Prince did not dare to say any more, and Xiao Zhige also sat back to his original position.
An Changqing did not expect that he would come up with such a rhetoric to cover up for himself, and take all the responsibility on himself, and he was moved and sad at the same time. But now is not the time to talk, so I can only add vegetables to his bowl frequently.
***
An hour later, the banquet was closed. Emperor Anqing took a beautiful woman back to rest, and the ministers also dispersed.
An Changqing went out with Xiao Zhige, but met An Zhike and Li Shi on the way. They were late and didn't even bother to talk to An Zhike. Now I have met, but I can't pretend I haven't seen it.
An Changqing came forward to greet him: "Father, mother."
When An Zhike saw him, his eyes were not his eyes and his nose was not his nose and he said "um". On the contrary, Mrs. Li responded with a smile, and said gently, "You're not here at the banquet today. Several ladies are asking when they hear that Xianyu has broken off the marriage."
"There are a few mothers in there who look pretty good and want to ask the princess."
An Changqing raised her eyebrows, but she didn't believe that Mrs. Li would be so kind to pick a husband-in-law for An Xianyu: "Oh? How many?"
Mr. Li said it eloquently.
A few of the children are really good just by looking at their family background, but An Changqing, based on the impression of the previous life, knew that the few Li Shi said were all playboy children who flirted with cats and dogs all day, and went in and out of restaurants in Qinglou.
"It's hard to worry about my mother, and the few I picked are actually slutty boys." An Changqing said with a smile.
Li Shi said with a smile: "Which son doesn't like to play? When you get married, you will naturally relax."
An Zhike, who was beside him, snorted coldly: "I told you not to worry, the princess has a big idea now. Even her sister's marriage is in her hands."
Not to be outdone, An Changqing sneered: "I don't care, if there is another Zhang Junshu and Li Junshu, who should Yu'er complain to? I don't ask Yu'er to marry prominently, I just ask her to find a husband who can protect her. If your mother is not free, you don't have to worry about it."
Li's dignified face cracked a bit, An Zhike's face was even more ugly, he glared at Li's, and flung his sleeves away.
The obscure people watching the excitement around had their necks stretched out, and when they met Xiao Zhige's icy gaze, they hurriedly retracted them and pretended to be watching the scenery.
Seeing this scene not far away, the crown princess withdrew her expression and walked towards the two of them. The princess was twenty years old, and she was a very beautiful beauty. Seeing her coming, An Changqing hurriedly saluted.
The princess smiled and said, "No need to be more polite. I thought I could talk to the princess today, but I didn't expect the princess to go with the second brother."
An Changqing didn't know what medicine she sold in her gourd, so she could only laugh: "My lord is afraid that I will disturb the ladies' Yaxing."
The Crown Princess turned her eyes, glanced at him, and said, "As the eldest sister-in-law, I didn't bring a greeting when I first met. I heard that the Crown Princess liked the snow plum wine at the banquet, so I asked someone to prepare some." He took a small basket from the maid behind him and handed it to An Changqing.
An Changqing expressed her thanks, but in her heart she pondered her words "Listen to the prince...".
What does this have to do with the prince
The two of you came to me and greeted me, and the princess turned around and left.
An Changqing carried a small basket of wine, her eyebrows twisted like a twist. When he was in his carriage, he threw the small basket aside like a hot potato, and asked Xiao Zhige inexplicably, "What does the Crown Princess mean?"
What does the prince do? And why does the prince know that he likes to drink this wine
Seeing that he couldn't wait to throw the wine, Xiao Zhige's expression softened a little. With dark eyes, he said: "Prince is good. She likes to collect all kinds of beauties."
An Changqing didn't understand it at first: "Can't you see? I also heard people say that he is very affectionate with the Crown Princess."
Xiao Zhige sneered: "He hid well, and the Crown Princess covered him. Since no one knows."
An Changqing wanted to say something, but he suddenly understood. Immediately, his whole face was wrinkled into a ball, and he couldn't believe it: "You mean... the prince... he fell in love with me?"
Xiao Zhige looked down at him, but did not answer directly, but said, "Stay away from the prince in the future, he has a sinister mind."
An Changqing's face showed disgust, and when she saw the wine sent by the Crown Princess, she felt goosebumps even more, picked up the small basket and threw it out in disgust: "I will never drink this wine again."
It makes me sick to think about it.
The author has something to say: Now: Nah, hurry up and take a look at my husband and wash his eyes.
Cowardly: ... (the corners of the mouth rise wildly
