Hairpin Phoenix - Chapter 710

   Chapter 710 The Prince of Fanwai

   Six days later, the crown prince’s canonization ceremony was held in the Golden Palace.

  The establishment of the Chu Chu is a major event in the state. This canonization ceremony was prepared by the Ministry of Rites for several months. Luo Shangshu presided over the ceremony, and all the civil and military officials arrived.

  After the canonization ceremony, the emperor led the prince to the imperial temple to worship the heaven and ancestors.

   This canonization ceremony lasted for most of the day. In the evening, a grand banquet was held in the palace.

   The newly released Prince Li Jue, wearing a bright yellow prince’s uniform, with a handsome and immature face, against the background of the prince’s suit, showed a calmness far better than that of his peers. Standing beside the Son of Heaven, it was like a small tree growing in the beginning.

  Lu Lin looked at his grandson, and the smile on the corner of his mouth never stopped.

   Marquis of Puyang and Lu Lin took a seat and raised their glasses with a smile: “King Xingyang, I toast you.”

  Lu Lin happily raised his glass and drank it with the Marquis of Puyang.

After drinking a few cups, Puyang Hou said with a bit of a drunken smile: “In my whole life, I have never really convinced anyone. When Meng Hui was still alive, he was pressing me everywhere, and I never obeyed him. , I am completely convinced of you, King Xingyang.”

   said, and poured a glass of wine for Lu Lin himself: “A thousand words do not need to be said, they are all in this glass of wine.”

Lu Lin grabbed the jug, but didn’t pour the wine: “You say that, it’s too much. In fact, my heart is arrogant and arrogant, and my eyes are higher than the top, and there are only three or five people in the court. You number one of them.”

  The Marquis of Puyang laughed: “If I can get such praise from King Xingyang, I have to get drunk today.”

   The two raised their glasses together, raised their heads and drank.

   The two of them drank heroically and happily, and Wen Chen, who was pushing the glass for a change, was equally happy.

  The establishment of the reserve is a happy event celebrated by the whole world, which means that there will be successors in the country. Li Jue is the eldest son of the queen, smart and steady, and everyone can see it. With such a prince, how could a courtier not be happy.

  Luo Shangshu and Qiao Ge Lao took a seat, and they were over a hundred years old together. Qiao Ge has gray hair, Luo Shangshu is a little younger, and his beard is a lot whiter.

   “Elder Ge, everything is going well in the court now, and the crown prince has also established himself,” Luo Shangshu said with a low laugh: “When I am a minister, I am satisfied even if I serve as a minister immediately.”

   Qiao Ge raised his eyebrows and smiled: “I’m five years older than you, and I haven’t planned to start an official career yet. Why do you think about it?”

Luo Shangshu thought for a while, and smiled: “What I said is that the few people in the East Palace’s Zhanshifu were still young and could not be of great use for the time being. We old bones will last for another three years and five years. They will have to use them. It’s not too late for us to go back.”

   Luo Shangshu was referring to Fangzi Zhan Zhouli Li Yan and others. They were the confidants of the emperor when he was hiding in the mansion.

   After a few years, the emperor will completely control the court, and naturally he will slowly change to his henchmen.

   This is something that the ministers tacitly understand.

   One emperor and one courtier, this has always been the case.

  Luo Shangshu and Qiao Ge were both princes and grandfathers, and they were both princelings. Therefore, after the emperor ascended the throne, their position was as stable as a mountain, and no one could shake it.

  Luo Shangshu drank a few glasses of wine, and suddenly lowered his voice: “Elder Ge, I have heard some rumors recently. I heard that there are many new faces in the Empress’s farm.”

   Lu Yi’s military recruitment and training has been carried out in a low-key manner. However, there are many people watching in the dark. Such a movement could not be concealed from the eyes and ears of a conscientious person.

  Qiao Ge’s old movements stopped, but the expression on his face did not change: “The empress has made great contributions to the great Wei Jiangshan, and it is nothing to raise more personal soldiers.”

  Li Jing deliberately announced Qiao Ge Lao into the Funing Hall yesterday, and told Qiao Ge Lao about this in private.

  Qiao Ge was not so happy in his heart, and he didn’t say much. Now I have to cover up for the emperor and the empress.

Luo Shangshu, a mature scholar, saw Qiao Ge Lao said this, and immediately smiled: “That’s right. It’s not your turn to worry about this kind of thing. Today is the happy day of the crown prince’s canonization ceremony. , have another drink.”

  …

   There was also a banquet in the harem.

  Lu Mingyu was in a good mood today and drank a few glasses of wine. The feeling of drinking is on the rise, the cheeks are like peach blossoms in March, the eyes are not as sharp as usual, and the smile is like two crescent moons.

   Princess Hui’an’s laughter is the most hearty and lively: “Life has passed so fast, in the blink of an eye, our brother Jue has become the prince.”

  Princess Jing’an pursed her lips and smiled, and continued: “Yeah, I still remember that Brother Kui was born not long ago. It seems that he grew up in the blink of an eye.”

   Empress Dowager Qiao put her arms around her granddaughter Li Xuan and said cheerfully, “Sister Xuan is about to grow into a big girl.”

   The nine-year-old Li Xuan has lost his tenderness, and has combed a little girl’s double-ring bun. The jeweled hairpins are sparkling, and the heroic spirit is full of tenderness.

   On the other side, Li Cong shouted out, “Grandma, what about me?”

   Queen Mother Qiao smiled and nodded Li Cong’s nose: “You, don’t eat too much, look at your little body, how fat you are.”

  The crowd covered their mouths and laughed.

  Li Cong is white and fat, round and very cute. However, even the Queen Mother Qiao joked that her grandson was fat, which shows that Li Cong is really overweight.

   When Li Cong heard this, his face suddenly became bitter. Looking at the delicious delicacies in front of him, he was very troubled: “These are all my favorites. I’m reluctant to eat less of them.”

  Lu Mingyu was also amused, and stretched out his hand to ask Li Con to come to him, and took a bowl of vegetables: “Eat less meat, eat more vegetables.”

  Li Conan loves meat, not vegetables. Seeing that my mother had filled herself with a bowl of vegetables, she was suffocated. He didn’t dare to resist, he simply ate slowly, his eyes kept on the meat.

   When the palace banquet was about to end, the Crown Prince came down. She bowed her hands to Empress Dowager Qiao Lu Mingyu.

   Empress Dowager Qiao smiled and said, “Brother Jue, get up quickly.”

  Lu Mingyu’s eyes fell on his son, and his heart was full of tenderness and pride.

   This is the eldest son of her and Li Jing, the son she raised meticulously, and the prince of the Great Wei Dynasty.

  Princess Hui’an looked at the tall and straight little boy, and she couldn’t love it, she said with a smile, “Brother Kui, come to Auntie’s place quickly. Wearing this prince’s uniform today, it’s really good-looking, let Auntie take a look at it.”

   Director Hui’an is quick-tempered, not bad, and loves his nephews and nieces even more. Li Jue was also very close to Princess Hui’an and stepped forward with a smile.

   Princess Hui’an looked at her nephew happily, and reached out to touch her nephew’s handsome face: “His Royal Highness is really handsome.”

  Li Jue was embarrassed to be praised: “Aunt looks at her nephew, of course everything is good. In terms of appearance, I can’t stand up to my cousin.”

   Princess Hui’an smiled and said, “Brother Li is only good-looking, and he is not as good as you in reading and martial arts. It can be seen that he is a little embroidered pillow. Our Royal Highness is the unparalleled standout!”

  Li Jue’s face flushed with praise.

   Everyone laughed.
