Chapter 419: Prince Regent wants to join forces with Prince Yu?
"The eldest princess sent someone to do it." General Jun reported the detailed investigation process to Xiao Chenyan one by one.
After hearing this, Xiao Chenyan threw the tea cup in his hand, his eyes burning, "The eldest princess is acting more and more ruthlessly now, how could a group of insignificant government servants do such a vicious thing."
Jun Wu persuaded: "The eldest princess is also trying to vent your anger."
Chang Lin followed suit, "They will deserve to die if they offend the prince."
Xiao Chenyan waved his hand and told them to leave. He sighed helplessly, wondering how he should explain to Shen Ruzhou?
The day of the banquet arrived soon. Xiao Chenyan prepared early and came to the Regent's Palace. As soon as he entered the palace, he saw that everywhere was filled with flowers and plants, which were very elegant and eye-catching.
Walking further inside, I saw Xiao Ruohan directing the maids to prepare tea and fruits, very busy, as if she was the hostess of the Regent's Palace.
"Xiao Ruohan is really favored in the Regent's Palace." Xiao Chenyan snorted coldly, feeling more and more that he had a very accurate eye for people.
He was about to step forward when he saw Shen Ruzhou coming over and saying something to Xiao Ruohan. The two of them suddenly laughed.
Then, Shen Ruzhou called a group of maids to help in the kitchen, "Today's banquet cannot be careless. The 24 dishes are all extremely hard-to-find ingredients. They are very expensive, so we have to prepare them carefully."
"Shen Ruzhou, if you don't stay well in your hospital, why do you come here and become a cook?" Xiao Chenyan stepped forward and directly accused him. In his impression, Shen Ruzhou was his woman and could not wash hands and make soup for others.
Shen Ruzhou glared back at him, and then a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes. He winked at him and motioned him to look into the pavilion next to him, "King Wu Cheng, it's better not to worry about me. King Yu is taking Mu Wan over there." Qing looks at the tweed, so affectionate."
It must be uncomfortable to watch the woman whom you yearn for chatting and laughing with other men.
Xiao Chenyan looked in the direction given by Shen Ruzhou and saw Prince Yu holding Mu Wanqing's waist. The two of them hugged each other intimately, looking at flowers and laughing and talking very lovingly. His face suddenly sank, but he was not happy. When the attack occurs, I can only grit my teeth secretly.
This made Shen Ruzhou who was watching the show very satisfied, and he led the maid to the kitchen with a smile on his face.
Xiao Chenyan told Jun Wu with a cold face, "Prince Yu is also here for the banquet, which gives us a good opportunity to capture the Marquis of Zhennan. You should quickly lead people to search Prince Yu's palace."
A quarter of an hour later, the music sounded and the banquet officially began.
The Beixiu Banquet was sitting at the head of the table, Xiao Chenyan and Prince Yu were on both sides, and there were some other officials behind them.
At the Beixiu Banquet, he raised his glasses and invited everyone to drink together and said the opening speech. "After I fell off the cliff, I often felt unwell. Recently I heard that King Wu Cheng caught the culprit, so he held a special banquet to express his gratitude. I also take this opportunity to invite all my colleagues to gather together. Don't go home until you are drunk. .”
"Thank you, Prince Regent." Everyone present raised their glasses in response. Seeing that the Beixiu banquet was so polite and enthusiastic, everyone was no longer as restrained as before, and the atmosphere suddenly became lively.
Xiao Ruohan suddenly became interested, took out the guzheng and played a song, and the whole hall immediately cheered.
Shen Ruzhou ordered his maid to bring the medicinal meal, sat next to the Beixiu Banquet, and whispered, "Your Majesty has just recovered from his serious illness, so he should drink less wine."
When Mu Wanqing saw her, her eyes showed surprise, and she pretended to be curious and asked, "Hey! Why is Miss Shen here?"
"I came to treat the regent. The regent was grateful and allowed me to stay in the mansion." Shen Ruzhou's generous response made those who made random guesses in private feel ashamed.
After Xiao Ruohan finished playing the song, Shi Shiran walked over and sat on both sides of the Beixiu Banquet with Shen Ruzhou.
Mu Wanqing raised her eyebrows, picked up the handkerchief and covered her mouth with a smile, "It's okay for Miss Shen to stay in the Prince Regent's Mansion for a few days, but if she stays for a long time, I'm afraid Miss Xiao will mind."
Xiao Ruohan glanced at Mu Wanqing with his cold eyes and said, "Miss Shen and I are sisters. She can stay here as long as she wants."
Such an answer was obviously unexpected by Mu Wanqing. She gritted her teeth bitterly and soon said with a smile: "With Miss Shen serving tea and Miss Xiao playing the piano and singing, it can be said that the Regent is sitting there. It’s really enviable to enjoy the blessings of everyone.”
Hearing this, everyone praised the regent for his good fortune.
Mu Wanqing rolled her eyes and glanced at Xiao Chenyan secretly. She saw that his face was as black as ink, and he was drinking alone with his head down.
Shen Ruzhou was not a vegetarian, so he followed Mu Wanqing's words and stabbed Xiao Chenyan, "How can we compare with Princess Yu? Since Prince Yu got married, Princess Yu has been the only one in the house. She is the only one favored by this house, which is really enviable. .”
Prince Yu then praised him: "Wanqing is well-educated, gentle and virtuous, and she is deeply affectionate and loyal to me. She is enough for me."
When Xiao Chenyan, who was pouring wine, heard this, the movement of his hands suddenly stopped. He raised his eyes and looked at King Yu who was showing off his affection. He felt that he really couldn't see it. He turned around and saw Beixiu eating at the main seat. Xiao Ruohan fed the grapes and drank the tea held by Shen Ruzhou, making him look more and more alone.
Shen Ruzhou was always good at rubbing salt into wounds. He identified Xiao Chenyan's sore spot and continued: "Prince Yu and Princess Yu have been married for more than a year. Why is there no movement in Princess Yu's belly? Do you want me to take a look? I'm sure it's okay. You two have been together for three years, and when you have a child, Princess Yu will follow the prince even more wholeheartedly."
The words "Destined to Die" were spoken by Shen Ruzhou very hard, like a heavy punch hitting Xiao Chenyan's chest, trying to crush him completely.
Prince Yu became interested and said hurriedly: "Okay, I have been looking forward to having a son and a half daughters for a long time, so there is Miss Lao Shen."
Halfway through the banquet, the Beixiu Banquet got down to business again. People present could not care less about drinking, and they all listened carefully, for fear of missing something.
"My old illness has relapsed recently, and I'm afraid it will take some more time. Everything in the court will have to rely on everyone here." Bei Xiuyan said calmly, his face was calm, and there was no trace of it. mood.
Xiao Chenyan raised his glass and said politely: "The regent is not feeling well, and he rests peacefully in his mansion. There is no need to worry about matters in the court."
Bei Xiuyan raised his eyes and glanced at him, a cold light flashing in his eyes.Then he turned to King Yu and said, "I owe you to King Yu for the recent money and food matters. Especially the soldiers' pay has been distributed earlier than in previous years. The soldiers' families can prepare winter clothes in advance. The army is full of praise for King Yu." .”
"The Prince Regent is overly complimentary. It's just a matter of my duty. As long as I take care of the money and food for a day, I will never shorten the food and clothing of the soldiers." Prince Yu is used to saying these kind of words. There are not many opportunities to please Beixiu Yan, so he naturally Won't let it go.
Seeing Bei Xiuyan smiling and nodding to him, Prince Yu began to show his goodwill even further, "A few days ago, Zhuangzi sent some precious medicinal materials. If the regent doesn't mind it, I will send some to replenish your health tomorrow." .”
"Your Majesty, I would like to thank you for your kind words." Beixiu Yan accepted it readily, and drank with Prince Yu in the distance. The two of them chatted happily for a while.
This made the officials present a little confused. Wasn't the Regent's banquet set up to thank King Wu Cheng?Why is it that all the words and words are praised by Prince Yu, and now he is accepting gifts from Prince Yu? In the past, the regent never accepted gifts from anyone.
Could it be that the Prince Regent is joining forces with Prince Yu?
