Chapter 135 Kyushu Banquet

When the emperor woke up from the dark room again, he was numb.

Even the mental activities are pitifully few.

He turned his head and stared at Anjiu, but unfortunately the room was a little dark and he couldn't see Anjiu's face clearly.

never mind……

The emperor looked at the bedding and vaguely noticed that it was pink.

In a good mood.

This put him in a good mood throughout the day.

Until the welcoming banquet for Prince Ruyang in the evening.

This is a brothers' feast.

The first to come was King Jing, who disliked King Ruyang very much. He came in with a dark face and said to the emperor, "What is the meaning of this banquet?"

The emperor smiled and said, "It's just a meal."

Have a meal...

King Jing doesn't like to eat his meals in the palace.

Exquisite and gorgeous plates cannot hold the worldly food.

The next one to come was Prince Duan, who came over immediately and chatted with the Emperor, Prince Jing, and Prince Ruyang.

"Has this kid made any progress over the years?" asked Prince Duan.

King Jing shook his head: "I don't know, I haven't seen it."

The emperor said with a half-smile: "He said he has grown taller, I think so."

"The Queen Mother is short, how tall can he be?"

When Prince Duan said this, An Jiu almost laughed out loud.

You guys are enough...

That's really mean.

"Have the others arrived?" asked Prince Duan.

Eunuch Li said, "Only the eldest prince has arrived."

This was the first time An Jiu heard the words "Eldest Prince". Didn't everyone else call him "Prince"?

Prince Duan said in a succinct voice: "Brother, I am truly convinced..."

King Jing snorted, "It's really outrageous."

[What's wrong with that? Tell me what you think. I want to hear it too.]

At this moment, the emperor expressed An Jiu's thoughts.

She wanted to listen too.

Prince Duan nodded: "It has spread all over the capital recently."

King Jing sighed, "What a shame."

emperor"……"

[No, why don’t you elaborate on it…]

An Jiu also wants to listen...

However, Prince Duan changed the subject again: "Second brother is still idle, running around all day and not even in the capital now."

King Jing said, "The second son is like that. I don't know if he will come back for the New Year."

emperor"……"

An Jiu "..."

The two men were eagerly waiting, but they did not talk about the Second Prince. They started talking about the Fifth Prince.

An Jiu was dizzy. How come there was a fifth prince?

"I don't know how my fifth brother is doing. He probably doesn't dare to go out in such a cold day." King Jing was quite worried.

Prince Duan nodded and said, "Forget it. Fifth brother is weak and it's not worth it for him to come here. It's better for us to have some free time."

An Jiu "..."

Who is this?

"Then Xiao Ba should be back by now, right?"

The emperor said, "He and the concubine are still in Baohua Temple and cannot leave."

Prince Duan said, "Then tonight will be boring. It's just the few of us staring at that kid. I'm afraid he's going to plot against me."

King Jing snorted coldly, obviously he was also very troubled by meeting King Ruyang.

Not long after, Eunuch Li came to say that the banquet was ready.

So the three of them stood up, and An Jiu took a thick plush cloak and put it on the emperor. It was unknown what animal skin this black cloak was made of, but it felt particularly good to the touch, completely different from the industrial fur of later generations.

In short, it’s a good thing at first glance.

The banquet was arranged by Concubine De. The banquet hall had a particularly nice name called Jiuzhou Banquet. The tables were filled with exquisite food, including delicious fish and meat. Because there were always people coming in and out, and there were no such things as floor heating pots in that era, the whole banquet hall was chilly. No matter how many braziers were placed, as soon as the door was opened, half of the heat would disappear.

An Jiu's filter for the banquet was shattered.

She glanced at the food on the table and didn't understand. Couldn't they wait until someone arrived before serving it?

The food is not hot anymore.

But these people seem to be used to it.

The emperor took off his cloak and sat down, looking elegant and charming.

The moment An Jiu took the cloak, he heard the sound of screaming chickens echoing in the hall.

[I am freezing to death...]

An Jiu "..."

I thought you guys were pretty powerful.

Sitting next to the emperor was a man in his twenties with a beard. He sat in a casual posture. Seeing An Jiu staring at him, he raised his eyebrows at An Jiu and smiled.

An Jiu got goose bumps all over his body and felt like he was being harassed from a distance.

Needless to say, this must be the eldest prince who made Prince Jing and Prince Duan speechless.

As for why he was the eldest prince and not a prince, An Jiu found out later that it was because the eldest prince was lustful and absurd, which made the late emperor so angry that he took back his title and nobility before he died. Since then, this kid was in an awkward situation in the royal family, and everyone just called him the eldest prince.

While An Jiu was distracted, everyone had finished their ceremony and King Ruyang had also arrived. He was wearing a white fur cloak, which made his skin look even whiter, like a cute furry little fox.

"My brothers are all here." He smiled and sat in his seat. He glanced at the other empty seats and was a little disappointed: "No one else is here."

Prince Duan smiled and said, "You know that the fifth brother is in poor health. The second brother is not in the capital, and the eighth brother is praying for blessings in Baohua Temple with the concubine..."

He smiled and said, "Why? Are the few of us accompanying you not enough?"

Prince Ruyang looked aggrieved: "Sixth brother, you are wronging me. I just miss you brothers, and it's more lively with more people."

The eldest prince drank a glass of wine and glanced at all the palace maids who came, as if he was selecting prey. Finally, his eyes fell on An Jiu.

Who said that gazes have no substance? An Jiu felt as if he had been licked by a cow's tongue all over his body.

【nausea. 】

The emperor looked on coldly as Prince Ruyang acted coquettishly towards him.

"Your Majesty, please look at Sixth Brother. He says ten things to every one I say. I am not staying in the capital, but I am just missing you brothers."

[I am really impressed...]

[Am I your father? ]

An Jiu saw the emperor force a stiff smile.

Prince Duan rolled his eyes, turned aside and talked to Prince Jing.

"Prince Duan didn't mean it." The emperor said dryly.

The eldest prince was like a spectator, looking at this, looking at that. Finally, he picked up a piece of food with chopsticks and found that it was cold. But the eldest prince laughed.

Everyone looked at him.

He said, "Everyone, stop looking at me and eat your food."

Let’s try this palace’s exclusive cold dish…

Hahaha……

The eldest prince wanted to laugh more and more as he thought about it.

He felt that the emperor was like a monkey who was chosen by the people and placed in a high position...

It's really ridiculous.

Hahaha.

The emperor had no appetite in front of a room full of crazy brothers. Fortunately, Xiaojiu made him some hot noodle soup to fill his stomach before he came.

Everyone else knew the quality of the food in the palace, so they just took two bites symbolically.

Prince Ruyang was very happy. He ate the cold chicken leg and said with a calm smile: "Did the imperial kitchen have a new person? The food tastes much better now."

As soon as these words were spoken, the whole place fell silent.

Everyone knows that the person in charge of the imperial kitchen has been changed.

Because Qin Bao is dead.

There are rumors outside that it was the Queen Mother who killed him.

In fact, they all knew what was going on.

The man was killed by the emperor.

But when Prince Ruyang said this, it didn't look good...

King Jing, who had been silent the whole time, sneered: "This audacious dog slave should have been killed long ago."

After King Jing finished speaking, the whole place fell silent.

An Jiu stood behind, just like watching a play.

Look at this, look at this, who says these men are careless? When they fight, it's no more exciting than women pulling hair...
