Prince Ning's Mansion.
Uncle Fu stood on the steps.
Watching the servants in the courtyard.
"All of you cheer up for this old man."
"The prince will host a banquet to entertain the Duke tomorrow night."
"Your Majesty will also come to the palace!"
"This is the palace's top priority and cannot be taken lightly."
"Pao Ding, you can prepare it now."
"The prince said that the standard set meal is eight dishes and one soup."
“Every dish must be delicious and attractive.”
"promise!"
Cook Ding nodded.
He is a famous chef in Chang'an.
Many of the imperial chefs in the palace were his apprentices.
Excellent cooking skills and great ideas.
When I have nothing to do, I will think of some new dishes.
"Tie Niu, you have to do a good job of security."
"Your Majesty, it is a great honor to be here in person."
"Once he arrives, the Yulin Army will be responsible for the defense."
"But we also have to be on guard against assassinations."
"promise!"
Tie Niu nodded seriously.
He is feeling very angry now.
The last time he inspected Chang'an, he was assassinated by a group of assassins.
He failed to spot it in time and Samuel was nearly killed.
Ning Que actually didn't say much about him.
But he felt bad about it!
As the commander of the Ning Palace's household guards, he and Uncle Fu served as one civil officer and one military officer. As a household guard, his primary mission was to protect the head of the household. This time, they were targeting Samuel, so Ning Que was fine, but what about the rest?!
"Fresh breeze, bright moon."
"You must give the orders."
"Everyone who comes here this time is a distinguished guest."
“A lot of people are pretty well-behaved.”
"You must be careful with your words and actions and not bring shame to the palace."
"promise!"
Qingfeng Mingyue nodded in agreement.
They are twins.
Usually he is mainly responsible for serving Ning Que.
And also take care of and clean the palace.
"Since it's a happy occasion, hang up the big red lanterns."
"The wine bottles and cups must be cleaned."
"In short, all aspects must be prepared."
"Whoever does not do it well must be punished."
"promise!"
"Let's get busy."
Uncle Fu waved his hand.
Ning Que has just inherited the title of king and is very busy now.
As servants, they shared the Lord's worries.
Uncle Fu walked towards the ancestral hall.
Stand respectfully at the door.
"My Lord, everything has been explained."
"OK."
Ning Que walked slowly out of the ancestral hall and said slowly, "Send someone to notify Sister Qing of Heaven and Earth to invite all the courtesans to come and perform songs and dances. Since they are all distinguished guests, we should also put on some performances to liven up the atmosphere."
"promise."
Uncle Fu nodded and took note of it.
There are a total of six courtesans in Heaven and Earth.
They were all sold to Qinglou at a young age to learn singing and dancing. They sold their art but not their bodies, and some wealthy merchants were even willing to pay thousands of taels just to spend a night with them.
The courtesans are not only beautiful, but also intelligent. They have all received special training, and their every smile and frown is full of charm, which can make people pay obediently.
"The prince is now forming three guards."
"I just happen to have a suitable candidate."
"oh?"
Ning Que couldn't help but smile.
Uncle Fu usually abides by his duties.
Never talks much.
They all do things silently.
He did whatever Ning Que instructed him to do.
This time it was rare that he took the initiative to mention this matter.
"He's a captain of the Imperial Guard, named Bai Yu." Uncle Fu raised his hand and introduced him seriously, "Although his position is not high, he is proficient in martial arts. His father was once the old prince's personal guard, extremely brave in battle, and ultimately died in Hulu Valley."
"According to your original instructions, his family received a substantial subsidy. This boy is also very hardworking and has studied and practiced diligently since he was young. He was later successfully promoted to the Yulin Army and is diligent and down-to-earth. He also made great contributions during the disaster relief efforts in Jingyang."
"Yeah, okay."
Ning Que walked in front. "Speaking of Jingyang, how is it going now? I'm hosting a banquet this time, so I'll invite some of the elders from Jingyang to join us."
"ah?"
"Isn't this against the rules?"
Uncle Fu was a little surprised.
When hosting a banquet, one must pay attention to the order of seniority.
All the participants were from the aristocratic families of Chang'an.
If we invite the common people, wouldn’t that be a humiliation to the guests?
"It's no problem." Ning Que laughed and explained, "When Your Majesty first ascended the throne, he held a banquet for a thousand elders to win over his subjects. Anyone over the age of sixty in Chang'an was welcome to attend. Jingyang is my fiefdom, and inviting these elders will also show that Dafeng hasn't forgotten them. What do they have to complain about?"
He hosted a banquet, and these people had no right to make irresponsible remarks. When my father was alive, he often went to Jingyang to host banquets. Those noble families and powerful families also came happily, and I didn't see anyone complaining.
The army is the guarantee of the country.
Jingyang is a well-known county for its meritorious service.
Countless warriors died on the battlefield.
Some who managed to survive were left with disabilities.
My father often said that a general's success is built on the sacrifices of thousands of men. They fought bravely and sacrificed their lives. They could not care less about what others thought, but the Ning Palace could not forget their contributions.
"Your Majesty!"
"What's wrong?"
Tie Niu came running over breathlessly, "Grandfather Lin and his entire family are kneeling at the gate of our palace."
"What's the meaning?"
"They're here to admit their mistakes."
"Psycho." Ning Que frowned and waved his sleeves, saying, "My relationship with the Lin family has long been severed. This is known to everyone in the court, both civil and military. Tell them to put aside their inappropriate thoughts and get out of here as far as possible."
Tie Niu looked embarrassed. "I told them to leave and ordered them to leave, but they refused to leave. They also said that if the prince did not show up, they would run to the city gate and kneel down. They have no ill intentions, they just want to see the prince."
