The Submissive Emperor - Chapter 49
“The arrangements are in order.” The little **** whispered, with some difficulties in his eyes, but he did not dare to say more.
Go to Taimiao early in the morning and worship your ancestors first.
Before offering sacrifices to the heavens, the royal family and the officials can drink tea in the hall, and then go to the altar of heaven at noon.
Lou Jing leaned on the pillars to rest for a while. He didn’t need to guard, but was just a guard of honor. Now that he changed the guards and stood under the jade steps, the twenty-four of them could take a breath.
“In the morning, I can’t even eat a mouthful of food. Until now, the dripping water hasn’t come in. Our third-rank and the third-rank in the hall are too different.” The commander right leaned against Lou Jing and complained endlessly.
Lou Jing chuckled, without saying anything. Turning around, he saw a head sticking out at the end of the corridor. He said hello to the right commander, then walked over, turned the corner, and saw Anshun respectfully holding a cup of tea, “The lord wants The little one is here to bring Shizi a cup of tea.”
Tea in the Taimiao is limited. There is one cup per person in the royal family. Xiao Chengjun must ask Anshun to give him hot tea to drink while changing his tea.
Lou Jing held the tea cup that Xiao Chengjun had used, and it kept warming to his heart. Anshun handed over a cloth bag again, “The lord asked the younger one to bring it in the morning. It was only heated in the tea room. You can eat it while it is hot. .”
Inside the cloth bag were two warm meat buns. Lou Jing ate the buns happily in twos or twos, and gurgled the hot tea. His stomach was no longer uncomfortably empty and his body warmed a lot. His prince and husband, once it hurts someone, no one can resist it.
An Shun smiled and took the empty cup and the bun, and bowed back to make Xiao Chengjun tea again.
Lou Jing raised his foot contentedly and wanted to go back. Another little **** rushed out from somewhere and hurried to this side, just about to hit him. At this time, most people would consciously reach out to block, but Lou Jing naturally took a half step to one side. The little **** didn’t hit anyone and fell straight to the ground.
“Oh!” The little **** fell hard and got up groaningly. Lou Jing, who was standing beside him, didn’t mean to support him at all, because he recognized that this was the little **** who was beside the third prince Xiao Chengduo.
Nafu got up, looked up at Lou Jing’s face, but saw that the man seemed to be looking at something interesting. He looked at him with interest, and he was shocked in his heart. However, the Lord commanded him, and he didn’t dare not follow him. , I had to look around, and said quickly: “My lord is well, at the evening palace banquet, His Royal Highness the Third Prince invites the prince to the Royal Garden for a talk, and there is something to discuss.”
Lou Jing raised his eyebrows. The three princes said no more than five sentences with him in a year. How could they suddenly want to see him? They shouldn’t be familiar with the point where they can have private meetings in the palace, right? “I beg you to tell the public about your duties, and you will not be able to leave at night. Please don’t be surprised by your highness.” After speaking, he turned to leave.
“It’s abrupt to know this matter, but it is related to the adult’s future. I ask the adults to think twice,” Nafu said anxiously.
This is interesting, Lou Jing licked his lips, didn’t he want to win him over? In the eyes of outsiders, he was married by Xiao Chengjun, and he was sent home again. On the face of it, Xiao Chengjun did not give him any help or benefit. The two are strangers, perhaps they are enemies, but it is not exactly three. Is the prince wooed? “In that case, please inform Your Highness that the minister will go as far as possible, but every time the Yulin Army changes the guard, if you can’t rush there in time, please don’t blame your Highness.”
Nafu immediately responded with joy, turned and hurried away.
Jitian has been busy all morning and returned to Beijing at noon. After the Yulin Army had eaten, he had to prepare for the evening palace banquet.
The 30th year of the year is a royal family banquet. No officials are invited, but only the royal family members are invited. Therefore, there is no need to do a big deal. There is no need for all the emperor’s honor guards.
When the palace banquet begins, these emperor honor guards become guards, waiting to change shifts with other guards.
The Yingchun Hall where the family banquet is located is actually a warm pavilion on the east side of the Royal Garden. Due to the repair of the earth dragon, it is most comfortable to feast here in winter, but because the palace is small, it can only be used for family banquets, not big banquets.
Three quarters before Haishi, Lou Jing had already changed shifts and hid quietly behind the rockery in the Royal Garden, waiting to see what tricks the three princes would use.
At the 30th year of the year, it is necessary to keep the year old, so this palace banquet will last until the child’s time.
Xiao Chengjun drank himself silently, and found that the three princes beside him were a little absent-minded tonight, even fidgeting. At two quarters, the three princes got up and left.
There was silence in the imperial garden, and the moonlight was shining down from the clear night sky, and the small lake was shimmering.
Xiao Chengduo said that he was drunk, came out to breathe, waved his hand back, and walked into the imperial garden with only a close-fitting eunuch. The lake was empty, there was no one, and he was not in a hurry. He stood by the lake and waited quietly. After waiting a full two quarters of an hour, he was trembling with the night wind, and gradually became a little impatient, “You can ask. Is it time for the Yulin Army to change shifts?”
“His Royal Highness, the order of this daily shift is set temporarily. No one knows, and the younger ones can’t inquire about it.” Nafu was very aggrieved. “Or, let’s go back first. If the emperor knows about this NS……”
“What is it wordy?” Xiao Chengduo waved his hand impatiently, “You go back first and tell my concubine that I drank too much and want to spend a while outside.”
As a high-status concubine, Concubine Chen can also attend the palace banquet. With her help, Emperor Chunde will not be held accountable.
Nafu had to agree, and went to Yingchun Hall with a bitter expression.
Lou Jing hid in the middle of the rockery leeward and ate a few chicken legs and drank half a pot of small wine before he showed up without any haste, “The three princes have been waiting for a long time.”
“The elder son is willing to go to the appointment, I am already very happy.” The three princes stood with their hands and smiled.
“I don’t know why your Royal Highness Yuechen came here?” Lou Jing wanted to laugh when he saw the third prince trembling with cold.
“Do you know all the movements in the hall these days?” Xiao Chengduo said pretentiously and deeply, but stared at Lou Jing unblinkingly. The moonlight was dim, and all the flaws could be concealed. Look like this. It is even more beautiful, “The crown prince, the father actually likes me.”
Lou Jing raised his eyebrows. The eyes of these three princes were naturally clear. It turned out that he was not interested in his family status, but in his appearance? A sense of absurdity suddenly surged. The three princes were really spoiled. Do you know what he is doing? Lou Jing lowered her eyes and slightly raised the corners of her lips.
At the palace banquet here, someone walked up to Xiao Chengjun with a cat waist and whispered a few words in his ear. Xiao Chengjun frowned and got up and left the table.
“You are already married. If you want to talk about a good marriage, it will not be easy. When it is done, you can be my prince.” Xiao Chengduo looked at Lou Jing’s thin lips glowing in the moonlight and couldn’t help it. Swallowed.
“Your Highness’s kindness, the minister’s heart is accepted, but the minister is already ashamed, and he doesn’t want to remarry into the emperor’s house.” Lou Jing slowly looked down at the Taihu stone at his feet, calculating how to push him there with thin ice. In the water.
“I treat you sincerely,” Xiao Chengduo looked at the pitiful beauty in front of him, and couldn’t help reaching out to hug him, “I’m not the useless brother of the emperor, I can’t even keep the crown prince.”
Lou Jing avoided the touch of the three princes, but followed the jade pendant around his waist, and quickly hid it in his sleeve, “Please also respect your highness.”
“I can’t forget that since I saw you on the day of the wedding. In any case, I will ask the mother and concubine to let you be my prince.” The third prince stretched out his hand to touch Lou Jing’s face.
Lou Jing secretly moved his right foot and was about to kick him into the water. At this very moment, suddenly a steady and powerful voice came over, “What are you doing?”
The two turned their heads at the same time and saw Xiao Chengjun with a gloomy expression.
In front of Xiao Chengjun, you can’t push the three princes into the water, otherwise he will bite back and say that the big emperor pushed him into the water with the intention of killing him. Lou Jing immediately relieved the strength on his legs and threw himself into Xiao Chengjun’s arms. Here, “His Royal Highness, the third prince, he molested me…”
Xiao Chengjun looked at Lou Jing who was wronged in his arms, resisted the urge to roll his eyes, and said coldly: “Three Emperors, how do you treat your sister-in-law?”
The third prince was immediately confused. The two were no longer husbands and wives. Now they are like this. Could it be that there is still an affair, if so… Thinking of the words he had just said to Lou Jing, he immediately let out a cold sweat.
