Chapter 435 Jixian Building
After chatting with his father for a while, Zhu Biao stepped out of the Jinshen Hall. It was about Shen time, and the setting sun was about to set, but it still radiated a pale golden light hanging from the sky.
It’s not time to go to the banquet, but it’s not far away. At this time, I have nothing to do. It’s too far to go back to the East Palace to see my wife, it’s too troublesome to go to the harem to see my mother, and my father is still busy reviewing memorials...
Zhu Biao walked aimlessly in the front palace, and when he suddenly looked back, he saw a group of court ladies and eunuchs with lowered brows. Their daily life was to follow Zhu Biao. Unless Zhu Biao gave special orders, they would always be surrounded by stars. state.
Walked to the Inner Wulong Bridge, picked a good place, sat down, silently watching the river flowing below, Liu Jin walked to a hidden corner of the bridge pier and took out a blue and white porcelain bowl, which was full of Some smooth pebbles.
The rest of the court ladies and eunuchs were waiting under the bridge in a regular manner. Liu Jin ran up quickly and handed over the porcelain bowl on his knees. Zhu Biao took it over, then picked up a pebble and threw it into the water, creating a small wave Lift it up, and the crisp and pleasant sound of stones falling into the water can be heard...
The eyes of the little eunuchs were gradually attracted by the stones. They were not too old, and they also liked to play. Unfortunately, the family could not afford to support them, so they were sent to the palace, and they were exchanged for some money for other people in the family. survive.
The court ladies silently looked at the prince who was calm and playing with the stones with eager eyes, all eager to wait for the day to be favored by the prince, even if it was just a one-night pleasure.
All living beings, who doesn't have a wish?
After Zhu Biao threw all the stones in a large porcelain bowl, half of the setting sun set, and the sky became dark, Zhu Biao came to his senses in a trance, put down the porcelain bowl, stood up and stretched his waist. An inexplicable feeling of dullness for a while, some want to go back to the palace to sleep.
It's a pity that there is still business to do tonight, so I got up and went to a hall to take off my court clothes, and changed into a black python robe with narrow sleeves, the cuffs were embroidered with gold thread auspicious clouds, a red and white jade belt around my waist, and a black jade unicorn waist pendant , the black hair is bundled up and fixed with a jade-encrusted gilt crown.
After the change, he walked up to the maids in a generous manner, and after seeing them blushing, he walked out of the inner hall contentedly, thinking that this palace is a little tanned, and she is also the most beautiful boy in the capital!
Zhu Biao suddenly thought that next time he had to find a chance to let Fu Zhong punch the third child in the face. The boy became more and more handsome as he grew, and he would be a threat in the future, as well as the sixth child.
Except for the outside of the main hall, the sky was completely dark, and lights were lit everywhere in the palace, but because of Empress Ma's frugal order, there were still many dark places.
Zhu Biao calculated the time. At this time, all those who are eligible to attend the banquet should have arrived, so he waited for him to go. Then he boarded the car without haste and headed towards Jixian Tower outside the palace.
As soon as I arrived at the gate of the palace, I saw several identical cars waiting here. The general who drove the car randomly inserted into it, and then the palace door opened wide, and several identical cars drove out. No one knew whether the prince was among them. inside that.
Zhu Biao was not interested in making it difficult for the accompanying escorts. He sat in it obediently. After twisting and turning for a long time, the frame stopped. At this time, greetings from officials came from outside: " The ministers are waiting to welcome His Highness the Crown Prince."
Liu Jin, who was sitting in another car, arrived first. At this time, he stepped forward and opened the special door, and Zhu Biao sitting in it was revealed, and the civil and military officials bowed down with peace of mind.
Then he smiled at a group of officials in casual clothes on the ground: "Get up, you don't have to stick to etiquette today, otherwise you don't need to drink this wine. I might as well go back to the palace to sleep comfortably."
Hu Weiyong stood up and said with a smile, "Your Highness is right, I'm going to toast you a few glasses of wine at that moment."
Xungui at the back suddenly regained his spirits, and stopped being a literati in the black bear's fine cassock. They all bounced off the ground, and whoever met them in the process did not forget to push and shoved them a few times.
"Hahaha, Your Highness is right, it's rare to go out to drink, and it's not in the palace. The most important thing is to drink happily."
"Damn, you can't jump up and step on my feet even if you're happy!"
"Hey, I am willing. If you don't accept it, let's see who gets drunk and whoever loses. Please listen to the music for the next three days?"
"Hey, you vulgar ones, I will teach you a lesson in a while, and I will also bring one of you to Goulan Tingqu."
Wu Xun were having fun on their own, especially Zhao Yong and others, who knew His Royal Highness's temper and knew that it was time to enliven the atmosphere, so naturally they did their part to play the role.
The civil servants saw that Xungui was so vulgar, and His Highness the Crown Prince just looked at it with a smile, knowing that His Highness the Crown Prince really wanted to be more lively tonight, so he stopped pretending to be deep.
Only some of them look bad, and they are all deeply involved in the Shaanxi-Gansu case. Dali Temple and the Ministry of Criminal Justice have now started a thorough investigation. They can still come to dinner and drink tonight, but they may be in the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice tomorrow. Sentenced.
Being so sober, how could they be able to laugh, they could only stare at the figure of Hu Weiyong in the front, several of them were not low in status, and they were gritting their teeth in their hearts, if Hu Weiyong really didn't want to protect them, he would also leave him. I thought it was comfortable.
A group of people chatted and laughed and entered Jixian Tower. The dishes were all arranged by Liu An. They were mainly light side dishes, and there were no delicacies from mountains and seas. However, there was no shortage of chicken, duck and fish meat. After all, it was Zhu Biao's treat. Yes, there is no need.
After entering the table, the food and wine were served, Zhu Biao sat down and said with a smile: "Everyone, don't dislike the lack of dishes, I can't eat such good food in the palace, and the empress cuts down the expenses in the palace, you should also agree I've heard it."
Naturally, no fool would be picky. They all said that the empress is a benevolent empress through the ages, and the civil servants said that it had been a long time since they had such a sumptuous banquet. They sincerely thanked Zhu Biao.
After Zhu Biao first mentioned a sentence, it was time for the rest of the people to play. The left and right were all words on the scene. Regardless of whether civil servants or martial arts could say a few words, Zhu Biao didn't take it to heart, but just raised his glass and nodded from time to time.
After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, the red-faced warriors began to let themselves go, swearing constantly, not only competing with each other, but also deliberately bringing in civil servants who usually look down upon, relying on talents to meet soldiers. Unclear energy gave them a hard meal.
