MTL - Love Like the Galaxy-Chapter 81

The special thing about the first generation of the royal family, except that there is no queen dowager or concubine, the parent-child relationship of the royal family is OK, unlike the later emperors who can't even figure out how many children they have. At least today's emperor clearly remembers the name, age, spouse, and birthdate of each of his children.

Because of the emperor's special Libra style, it is easier to remember which children come from which belly. If the fifth prince is excluded, then there are only two options for the source of the belly.

Like many self-made founders, although the emperor is already in the supreme position, he still retains the very simple feelings of ordinary people; It's weak, the emperor needs a family banquet every one or two months, sometimes a big banquet - all the relatives in the family are announced, and even a few close friends from the country are honored, but most of them are small banquets - only the emperor, queen, and princes and princesses. Number of people.

Tonight is a small banquet, and there are not many people. The three princesses were ordered to think behind closed doors, and the three concubines were not allowed to attend. It has been faintly noticed that this concubine Yue is basically in an unsupervised state, the emperor has no time to control it, and the queen does not want to control it. In addition to the necessary public occasions, she will have a good show with the queen's wife and concubines, and on other occasions, she avoids meeting the queen as much as possible. There is no need to greet him, and there is no need to meet him. As a result, Shao Shang has not yet seen this empress.

In order to avoid alienation, and there are no nonsense rules for direct descendants, seats are all arranged according to age. The first seat on the right is the prince and his wife, the first seat on the left is the second prince and his wife, and the second is the eldest princess and the second princess sitting opposite each other... Then Shaoshang came in horror, and the next person sitting opposite the third prince was Ling Bu. Doubt yourself? !

Seeing the noble four or five princes and four or five princesses actually sitting under his head, Shao Shang only felt that he was in the clouds, his feet were hanging in the air, and his whole body was uncomfortable. She has not been a good student since she was a child. It was never her turn to speak at the ideological and political conference for outstanding students in any cultural performance. Because her grades have improved rapidly, the head teacher or the principal has to praise them in public. Stinky tofu.

Although there was injustice in the eyes of the fourth princess, she could still hide it, and she forced a toast to Shaoshang with a smile; With the fifth prince, this heat spread to Shaoshang is just half a basin of foot soaking water.

On the other hand, the fifth prince's eyes drifted back and forth on Shaoshang, and he smiled frivolously: "I haven't seen Mrs. Cheng for a few days, but her appearance has gotten better."

It's a few inches taller." What a hooligan, pretend she hasn't seen it before.

The face of the fifth prince immediately stiffened from a frivolous dandy ribbon to a frivolous radish color, Piece, a carrot.

A few bowls of rice might catch up. The last time at the palace banquet, Shao Shang heard the second prince clapping and laughing at the fifth prince, and the fourth prince jokingly teasing his boots that were padded with several layers.

Since the other princes were born tall and tall, there is obviously no problem with the emperor's genes. The reason is obviously the petite and thin Xu Meiren - unfortunately this is an era that advocates bravery and fiery Men are tall and stalwart, women are fit and plump, and there is currently no room for petite and handsome men.

Shao Shang sighed, in fact, there is no room for a delicate and delicate beauty like her, and I don't know which of Ling Budo's eyes twitched and looked at him.

The fifth prince originally wanted to put two harsh words to scare the young merchants, but Ling Budo’s fierce eyes were already shot, so he had to pretend to be arrogant and turn his head to shut up, picking on the servants who served the palace servants Bad here and there.

So she smiled helplessly at Shaoshang and left work early on her own.

, she had to desperately be next to the queen."

Ling Budo did not speak. He only stared at the girl's pink earlobes and side cheeks for a long while. Under the candlelight, the translucent skin was covered with childish fine fluff, delicate and tender... He slowly squeezed the palm of his hand.

coming.

It is said that eighteen years ago, Xuan Hou and Concubine Yue had not yet developed a harmonious way of getting along. One day, the two quarreled with the emperor on their front and back feet, and then both closed the palace door to prevent the emperor from entering , the emperor was angry and drunk, and then there was the 'accident' of Xu Meiren, which led to the 'accident' of the fifth prince. However, according to Di Li, Xu Meiren is not too innocent. Otherwise, how did a palace maid serving in the outer court enter the palace and have an 'accident'? Among them, there are many people who try to take the opportunity to climb the dragon and the phoenix.

However, the three emperors, queens and concubines were either kind-hearted or too lazy to care for her. Afterwards, they dealt with a large number of people, and after giving them a title, the case was closed.

That is, whoever causes trouble will pay the bill, whoever quarrels will stay overnight, and the other will never interfere.

Of course it is difficult to operate. According to Luo Jitong's private statement, when she was a child, there was a time when the emperor and the concubine Yue were arguing, and she almost heard the Nangong guard on duty. The emperor came to Changqiu Palace in a rage, but the queen refused to open the door, and sent someone to drag Concubine Yue a sour text. Tow back outside.

After listening to this story, although he was just trained by the old emperor like a grandson of a turtle, Shao Shang still had a respect for him.

Ling Budo looked at the second princess and his wife on the side, they were close to each other, smiled and whispered; and then looked at the second prince and his wife on the opposite side, I didn’t know what was interesting, the second prince still Jiao sighed and supported the second prince's golden crown.

He turned his head to look at the girl beside him, and said in a low voice, "Shao Shang, look at my hair crown is not crooked."

Shao Shang turned her head and looked back, smiling heartlessly: "It's not crooked, it's fine." But she finally remembered that she had promised the emperor not long ago, and stretched her arms to help him straighten She wore a tiara with silver and purple jade inlaid.

In the palace on summer nights, the candles were brightly lit, and there were ice basins and cooling fans around, Ling Budo still felt the breath was irritated, and the faint fragrance of the girl's body was permeating her nose. Slightly wide chest.

At this time, the queen lifted her head down lightly, and all the sons and daughters straightened back to congratulate each other, and now the young merchants can clearly distinguish the belly of these princes and princesses country of origin. One or two princes were born by Empress Xuan, three or four were Concubine Yue, one or two princesses were born and raised by Empress Xuan, and two, three or four were Concubine Yue.

The emperor is like a township cadre who has just invested . Shao Shang had no choice but to worship with a smile on his face, like a fat white chihuahua holding his short front hooves in a bow.

, I'm coming for a banquet!"

Prince Concubine lowered her eyebrows and smiled: "Second brother and wife are joking. Younger sister Shaoshang is very reserved and shy. I invited her to the East Palace several times, but she didn't go."

Shao Shang chuckled in his heart, determined not to join the battle group, only eat melons.

Is that right?" She said to Shaoshang again, "Shaoshang, I know you have a lot of things to do, so I won't be too **** you. Come back to my mansion when you have time. Zisheng, if you don't worry about it, come along too!"

The second prince had been frowning all the time, as if someone owed him money and didn't pay it back, when he heard this sentence, he raised his eyebrows and said, "That's right, Zisheng, you will come too!"

At this moment, the third prince laughed softly, and the second prince was displeased: "Third brother, what are you laughing at!" The third prince slowly cut the meat and said: "Nothing, I just remembered when Zisheng first entered the palace, I don't know who was bullying him because of his height and strength. I have only shown goodwill over the years, is it too late?"

The second prince blushed: "Well, isn't that young and ignorant..."

The fourth prince sneered and said: "Second emperor, you were still young at that time, you have a concubine and a pregnant!"

The prince had a headache: "Aiya, you all stop arguing... Why do you make a noise every time..."

"The fourth is none of your business!" The second prince stood up and scolded, "If Zisheng and I quarrel again and again, we grew up together in the mother's harem, better than all of you, hum, you guys..."

At this time, the emperor frowned, seemingly displeased.

The eldest concubine was very alert, and after observing the words and expressions, he whispered: "Second Highness, please don't talk nonsense!" At the same time, the eldest princess lightly touched her right elbow. They are all close relatives, and they all grew up together in the palace, and Zi Sheng is no different from us.…Second brother, don’t sit down yet!”

The emperor slowly loosened his brows and turned to say: "Zixun, how is Biyong's cultivation?"

The great concubine smiled and said: "The minister and all the great Confucians have attended to the regulations recorded in the Zhou Rites, and they have been repaired to the round wall."

"Oh, so fast."

The concubine handed over: "If Your Majesty is worried, why don't you go and have a look."

The emperor waved his hand with a happy expression: "I will always be at ease when I entrust this matter to Zixun."

The eldest princess proudly said: "Father, I told you last time, Zi Xun loves to hear your praise, and he is an honest man, and will take your every word seriously. You may not even be able to find the palace gate from your praise today! You have to watch such a major event as the repair of Biyong. It's all your fault."

The emperor seemed to dote on this clever eldest daughter very much. The second concubine smiled and said, "How about you, do you still recite poetry and compose music all day long, while the wife sings and the husband follows?"

Dare to compare. My son is willing to follow the way of Huang Lao, be indifferent and do nothing, and live with the princess on the banks of the green mountains and green waters, singing and dancing, and reciting for a lifetime."

The second princess smiled at her husband affectionately, then smiled and complained: "Father, you have so many capable sons and officials, can't you tell us to be lazy. We will do it later. New songs have new dances, so I won’t show you!”

"Good good!" The emperor cursed in his mouth, his eyes full of love, "If you like to recite poetry, you can recite poetry, and you can dance if you like to dance. Fortunately, your old father is still thin If you have wealth, even if you have nothing to do, you will not starve to death!"

"Isn't it?" The second princess looked soft and naughty, "Who told me that Erchen and your husband-in-law would be reincarnated, not only for a good family, but also for such a great peace and prosperity!"

Emperor Longyan Dayue, a little drunk, slapped the food table with a heavy palm: "Well said! I dare not boast in a prosperous age, but the world is slowly peaceful in my hands. down!"

The second princess burst into tears and said with sincerity: "My father is so humble. What was the world like when my son was young, and what is the situation now, are the people in the world blind! This is all The emperor's father burned the ointment after the sundial and the evening clothes and food! The son and the concubine have no talents, I just want to compose a prosperous song for this peaceful world!"

The emperor was wet with the dragon eyes that his daughter said, bowed his head and hid, and swung one hand in front of him. The atmosphere was stirred up here, and all the royal sons and daughters of the palace all stood up and raised their glasses to wish the emperor's great talents and peace in the world.

The Shao Shang put down the wine and leaned into Ling Budo's ear, and whispered, "The second princess is really talented, she can speak so well!" Learn it!

She had just finished speaking, and before Ling Wudu could reply, the eldest princess said in a soft voice: "Second sister can really speak, no wonder the royal father loves you so much, you My sister is only a few months away, but I am far inferior to you."

The second princess smiled and did not answer. The eldest concubine was afraid that there would be troubles outside the festival, so she quickly poured a cup of wine for the eldest princess, and whispered to her wife, Mo Duo.

The little businessman leaned over and said softly: "The great concubine is a good one." Since the second concubine Zhi is not in the court, there will be no conflict of interest with the first concubine, so why bother with flattering others.

Ling Budo stretched out her fair and slender fingers, and lowered her head to grasp the corner of the girl's skirt: "Just be yourself, you don't need to imitate others." After a pause, "You don't keep Look at others, take a picture."

Shao Shang was stunned, and quickly retracted his gaze: "Oh, what you said."

"

Young businessman is furious, you little bitch, there is no end to it! The topic has already gone 800 miles away, and the second, third, and fourth princes have all shut up and lowered their heads to drink. You are a bastard, you won't let go if you bite it! When I look back, I'll find you a good sister to stew a Farewell My Concubine!

She was about to strike back sharply, but Ling Budo said slowly: "Didn't the Crown Princess just say, Shaoshang, she is reserved and shy, and doesn't like to go around. Didn't the fifth princess hear it, could it be? I have an ear problem, why don't I ask the medical workers in the palace to take a look."

The fourth princess on the side laughed when she heard this.

The fifth princess was about to retaliate indignantly, when the little yellow door outside the hall suddenly rushed in and whispered in front of the emperor, as if someone asked for an audience, the emperor was stunned for a moment, and then said: "... ."

After a while, the **** announced loudly—"The Princess of Ruyang is here, and the Lord of Yuchang County is here."

The emperor stood up slightly and cupped his hands, the queen bowed her head and bowed, and the rest of the people saluted according to the etiquette.

Princess Ruyang gave Xu Meiren a contemptuous look, Xu Meiren was very clever, and immediately gave up her seat to the queen, shrank to the side and did not dare to speak, the fifth prince clenched his fists secretly when he saw it, his eyes gloomy.

The old princess sat down slowly, and pulled her granddaughter to sit with her, Fang said: "Emperor, the old man came uninvited, you won't blame it."

"Auntie's words are serious." The emperor slowly put away his scolding and scolding, and his expression was indifferent, "I don't know what my aunt is here."

Princess Ruyang put on a finding fault, and said, "I know that His Majesty is setting a family banquet today, and I want to come and see my children and grandchildren, oh, is it because I can't come?"

The emperor only smiled and did not answer.

"Naturally..." The old princess continued, "I still want to see Shiji Lang's bride." With that, a pair of wrinkled old eyes swept down.

Everyone in the next chief said in their hearts: Let’s pull it down, didn’t you just come here to watch Cheng Shaoshang!

Shao Shang was about to stand up and salute, but found a slender big hand on her small waist, firmly pressing her to the seat, the thin summer shirt, the cool palm like a As if it was sticking to the skin, the fingertips seemed to gently rub the waist.

Shaoshang blushed, and bowed his head to break his palm.

No one else saw this movement, but the second princess and the couple at the next table could see it clearly. The second concubine smiled and gently pulled his wife's hand. Glancing at Ling Budo, there was an inexplicable worry in his heart.

The second concubine and his wife had the same mind, and asked in her ear: "What's wrong?"

The second princess sighed: "Eleven loves her so much."

"What's wrong with this?" said the second concubine Ma Qi.

Second Master opened his mouth to speak, and finally shook his head with a smile - but his heart was too heavy, it was not good.

Why does the hard ice in winter have to like summer bugs, why does Ling Budo like Cheng Shaoshang? Isn’t it good to find a girl who is as meticulous, gentle and considerate as Luo Jitong.

"Cheng's..." Princess Ruyang stared at the girl beside Ling Budo, knowing that she had found her goal, "Look at how you describe how young you are, how to learn without virtue?"

Shao Shang turned slightly sideways, and was about to answer, but Ling Budo said lightly: "No matter what kind of morality, talent and learning, I and Shaoshang have already engaged. It was ordered by Your Majesty in person, and both parents agreed. What does it mean when you say that?"

Princess Ruyang continued: "Both parents agree? Humph, Mrs. Cheng, can you go and see Mrs. Linghou."

"Which Mrs. Ling Hou?"

Ling Budo grabbed the words again, scooped up a ladle of warm wine, and slowly poured it into the wine bowl in front of him, "Oh, I forgot, my mother has divorced my father. Then, The old princess is talking about my father's step-wife... Shao Shang has not met Chunyu yet."

Princess Ruyang frowned: "You guys have been engaged for these days, why don't you go to see the future Jungu..."

Pop!

Ling Budo slammed the wine ladle into the wine jug, and the splashed wine made the floor a little dark. The atmosphere in the palace was inexplicably cold, and the atmosphere of the warm family banquet was no longer there. The princes and princesses looked at the emperor with awe, and they all dared not speak.

"Future Jun-gu? Is the old princess dead as my mother?!" Ling Budo looked over lightly, "So eager to find a new Jun-gu for my wife?"

The Princess of Yuchang was anxious and hurried to pull off her grandmother's sleeve robe.

Old Princess Ruyang knew that she had lost her words, and she slowed down her tone and said again: "It is the old man who said the wrong thing. But even if it is not the first elder, the elder is the elder after all. Mrs. Cheng, you Why don't you go see me?!"

Shao Shang didn't even open his mouth this time, and went straight to see his fiancé.

Ling Budo slowly said, "One, Shao Shang has spent ten days studying etiquette by the Queen's side, and has never had time. Two..." He smiled sarcastically, "My wife has not seen her before. My mother, how do I go to see the Chunyu clan?"

The old princess was anxious: "When will the Cheng family visit your mother?"

"My mother is ill today, and it is not suitable to see people."

"When will your mother be healed!"

"How do I know this?" Ling Budo raised his long eyelashes and said lightly, "Mother's disease was planted more than ten years ago. I don’t know when it will get better and when it will come back.”

"Ling Budo you—?!" Princess Ruyang was furious.

I have the chance to say the wrong thing... Later, you followed me to speak in front of the royal family. Because, you know that Your Majesty has accepted me. You have been taking care of me carefully, right?"

Ling Budo smiled, his dark brown eyes were bright and clear, like the stars, he whispered: "So what? How are you going to thank me."

Candlelight lingers in the palace, I don’t know if it’s candlelight or smudged by heat, the girl’s cheeks are as red as clouds, her big eyes are flashing, and she is biting her lips to speak—Ling Budo is so patient wait.

The old princess was babbling: "...The emperor is too rash, not to mention that the Cheng family does not match, and the old man looks at the little girl and doesn't seem to be able to bear the eleventh bride. Follow me. Look, you should think about it again and hire another one..."

At this moment, the little yellow door guarding the gate of the palace said loudly: "The concubine Yue is here—"

"The light sigh immediately turned to a soft call, and she didn't dare to shout out loud for fear of attracting attention.

Ling Budo masked the frost, lifted the girl's wrist, and took a heavy bite on her pinkish little hand.
