Chapter 610: Jixian Zhengzi, what do you think?
They visited many places in the inner court. Although they were chatting, laughing and chatting, they seemed to be very lively. However, everyone did not conceal the depth in their eyes and the defensiveness in their hearts. This made several people The atmosphere is always as warm and spring-like as there is an inexplicable hint of cold and murderous intent.
Finally, near dusk, a chamberlain came to send a message, saying that Yu Wenyuan had finished handling today's government affairs and was about to drive to the Baifu Hall where the banquet was given, and asked them to hurry over.
At this time, the six people walked back and forth along the Thousand-Step Corridor, and happened to return to the vicinity of Anren Gate. Going further, they saw Baifu Hall not far away. At dusk, the Baifu Hall was brightly lit, and even lanterns were lit outside the hall, illuminating the entire palace with radiance, almost more dazzling than the setting sun.
In the sunset, a somewhat familiar thin figure slowly walked towards Baifu Hall from the other side, and bumped into them at the entrance of the hall.
Shang Ruyi looked up and immediately said in surprise: "Mr. Su?"
The man walking towards him was wearing a dark blue official uniform and had a delicate appearance, especially a pair of eyes with slightly drooped corners that looked like an image under the reflection of the setting sun. The person whose translucent colored glass exudes an increasingly gentle and kind aura is none other than Dr. Su Qinglan of the Imperial Medical Department, whom she had known well before in Changle Square!
As soon as she saw Shang Ruyi, Su Qinglan also showed a hint of joy on her face, but she did not get carried away. She hurriedly came forward and kowtowed in a polite manner: "Greetings to His Highness the King of Han, and paying homage to His Highness the King of Qin." , Her Royal Highness Princess Qin”
Yu Wenzhen and Yu. Wen Ye didn't say much, but Shang Ruyi smiled and said: "Please get up."
Su Qinglan slowly stood up, then raised her head and glanced at Shen Wuzheng and Pei Xingyuan, her eyes flickering slightly, He lowered his head and said: "I have met Mr. Shen and Mr. Pei."
Pei Xingyuan was smiling, as if he didn't mind what happened before. He looked Su Qinglan up and down, and then said with a smile: "Master Su, you have been promoted."
Shang Ruyi said this Only then did I notice that the official uniform Su Qinglan was wearing was no longer the official uniform of a doctor.
Su Qinglan's fair cheeks were also a little red under the setting sun. She lowered her head and said softly: "Your Majesty has specially promoted me. I have just been appointed as the Chief Physician today."
Business Ruyi looked at her with wide eyes in surprise and joy.
You know, Su Qinglan was just a medical doctor before. After experiencing a plague, he was promoted to two levels in a row and was directly promoted to the imperial doctor. This is really a happy thing.
Of course, it was also because she was able to shoulder heavy responsibilities when the plague spread and was not afraid of hardships.
Shang Ruyi said: "Master Su, congratulations."
Su Qinglan lowered her head and said softly: "Thank you, Your Highness, Princess."
Shang Ruyi said again Said: "Then today you Yes——"
"Your Majesty has graciously given me a banquet for me today. However, I just took office today, so I went to the Imperial Medical Office to do errands for a long time and I just had time to come over."
< br>
"It's natural, you can't miss the business."
As he spoke, Eunuch Yu had already walked out of Baifu Palace, bowed his hands and said: "His Royal Highness the King of Han, His Highness the King of Qin, the Princess, and several other adults, Please go into the hall first."
As soon as they saw him, they didn't say much and immediately turned around and walked into Baifu Hall.
The Baifu Hall is very spacious. The main hall is used to entertain officials, and can accommodate almost hundreds of officials to have banquets at the same time; while the side halls on the east and west sides are one large and one small, respectively. It is used for family banquets and banquets with relatively small number of people.
This time, Eunuch Yu led them into the west side hall.
Although this place is not as large as the main hall, it is very spacious. In addition to the main seat directly above, there are four tables arranged under the left and right hands of the main seat, which is very suitable for the number of people giving the banquet today.
So, everyone prepared to go to their corresponding positions according to their respective identities and grades.
But something went wrong.
Logically speaking, the two brothers Yu Wenxin and Yu Wenye naturally sit in the first position under Yu Wenyuan's left and right hands, and next to them, Yu Wenye's side is naturally his wife, Qin Princess Shang Ruyi , although Yu Wensu and Yu Mingyue did not have a formal engagement relationship, everyone knew it well, and she naturally wanted to sit next to Yu Wensu.
When I reached the third position, I hesitated a little.
In terms of closeness, Shang Ruyi's target should be his cousin. Shen Wuzheng and Pei Xingyuan have been inseparable these days, so naturally they should sit together. But in this way, Su Qinglan will have to be Yu Mingyue's target. square.
However, Su Qinglan was not only unfamiliar with Yu Wensu and Yu Mingyue, but in terms of the secret confrontation between Yanzuofang and Changlefang, they were even qualified.
So, Su Qinglan immediately hesitated when looking at the position of Yu Mingyue's hand.
After all, she is not a person who is good at dancing and can handle any situation with ease. If she really sits next to Yu Wenxin and Yu Mingyue, this banquet will be sad for her.
Pei Xingyuan seemed to have seen this scene, and was about to say something, but seemed to hesitate.
Shen Wuzheng on the side was about to sit down. When he saw him like this, he looked at Su Qinglan who was standing on the other side with a troubled expression. He walked forward and said to Su Qinglan: "Master Su, you and the princess are here." I haven’t seen her for a while. Let’s sit next to her and talk.”
Su Qinglan was extremely grateful: "Many, thank you..."
Shen Wuzheng shook his head gently, sat down next to Yu Mingyue, raised his head again, and smiled at Pei Xingyuan He just turned his eyes away lightly. Just when everyone was sitting in their seats, Eunuch Yu's voice suddenly sounded outside -
"Your Majesty is here!"
Upon hearing this, everyone hurriedly stood up and bowed their heads to greet him.
There was a sound of heavy footsteps coming in from the outside. Although no one dared to look up, for them, the familiar, calm and oppressive feeling was still very familiar. Shang Ruyi held his breath almost immediately.
Yu Wenye beside him couldn't help but take a deep breath.
Then, I heard the footsteps walking slowly to the top of the side hall. After a sound of clothes being rubbed together, Yu Wenyuan's smiling voice sounded: "Sit down, everyone."< br>
Everyone then thanked En and stood up, slowly walked to their respective seats and sat down.
And Yu Wenyuan also slowly took his seat.
He was wearing casual clothes - because tomorrow is the official enthronement ceremony, he did not put on the dragon robe in advance, but the majesty and momentum around him at this moment was not comparable to that of the dragon robe. As soon as he sat down, the entire Baifu Hall felt more calm.
Yu Wenyuan only looked at them, and then ordered: "Go to the bar."
As soon as he finished speaking, a group of young and beautiful palace maids slowly walked up, and everyone's hands They all held wine pots and jade trays filled with fine wine and various dishes, and placed them in front of everyone's desks. Naturally, they were all delicacies from mountains and seas, and nectar and jade liquid.
Yu Wenyuan poured himself a glass of wine first, raised it and said: "Here, I want to toast you first with this glass."
When everyone heard this, they didn't dare to neglect and hurriedly picked up the wine glasses in front of them.
Yu Wenyuan smiled and said: "This time the plague came suddenly, and it is also related to the national economy and people's livelihood. I left the matter to the King of Han and the King of Qin. Although I believed them, I really didn't know what to do. Unexpectedly, Can there be various phases With help, we have overcome this difficulty and saved tens of millions of people all over the world. Let’s all drink together!”
“Thank you, Your Majesty!”
One after another, they raised their glasses and drank the wine in one gulp.
The wine was obviously aged, with a fragrant aroma but not a strong taste. After Shang Ruyi drank it in one sip, he felt that the blood flowing around his body became much more comfortable, and he couldn't help but sigh softly in his heart.
However, Su Qinglan, who was sitting next to her, was obviously not good at drinking. After drinking this glass, her eyes were a little red.
For a man like Yu Wenyuan who was born in the military, such a drink is no different from drinking plain water. He drank it all in one gulp without any hesitation. He just put the glass on the table and raised his head. , a pair of bright tiger eyes patrolled every young face in front of him as if patrolling his own territory.
Although he has been dealing with government affairs for a whole day, he seems to be in good spirits, even compared to the group of them who just seemed to be traveling around the mountains and rivers, but in fact they have different thoughts. Young people who are still tired from fighting are more energetic.
After examining every face, Yu Wenyuan suddenly smiled and said: "How is the scenery in the palace?"
Everyone was startled.
Today is a banquet to reward the heroes who have controlled the plague. Everyone thought that he was going to say a few words about the plague. Unexpectedly, the conversation changed and he talked about the scenery. Everyone was a little overwhelmed and couldn't respond in time.
For a while, there was a blank space in the side hall.
If it were just a normal time, it would be a trivial matter if there were blank spaces between questions and answers, but now, Yu Wenyuan is the emperor, and if no one answers his questions, that would be disrespectful!
Yu Wenzhen and Yu Wenye immediately looked at each other.
However, before the two of them could speak, Shang Ruyi, who was sitting under Yu Wenye, had already said with a smile: "When I return to my father, there is indeed a good scenery in the palace. It is much different from what I saw before. Different,”
"Oh?"
Yu Wenyuan was smiling when he saw her, and said with interest: "Why is it different?"
Shang Ruyi lowered his head and thought for a while, then raised his head, and his voice Slowly but clearly and forcefully she said: "Thousands of steps along the winding paths are green, and the grass is fragrant beside the mountains and pools. Although it is the old color of the Forbidden City, it looks bright in the new era."
As soon as she finished her words, Yu Wenyuan's eyes immediately lit up.
He said: "Okay!"
Shang Ruyi's poem is not too subtle, and the first two lines of scenery description are not gorgeous, but the beauty lies in the last two lines, which coincides with Yu Wenyuan's accession to the throne tomorrow, and the old color of the Forbidden City. The scene was illuminated by the new emperor as the sun rose in the east, so Yu Wenyuan praised this as "good".
After praising him, he smiled even more and kept saying: "My wife's literary talent is more than enough even if she goes to Jixian Palace to become a bachelor."
As he said, Then he turned to look at Yu Mingyue: "What do you think of Jixian Zhengzi?"
