Chapter 732: None of them are fun!
Xiao Xixi: "This man is so competitive, can he really be content to be an idle prince?"
Luo Qinghan: "I gave him the title Jing because I hope he can be a prince peacefully."
Xiao Xixi: "The title of the King of England is still Ying. Do you think he can be wise and powerful?"
Luo Qinghan: “…”
He said with a wooden face: "You still have to have ideals. What if you see a ghost?"
Xiao Xixi laughed out loud without any hesitation.
There was a banquet in the evening, so the two of them rested for a while, changed their clothes, and after getting ready, they went straight to Qianshan Palace.
Tonight's banquet will be held in Qianshan Hall.
Qianshan Hall is located on a higher ground, and its walls are covered with glazed floor-to-ceiling windows, allowing in plenty of light.
When I opened the window, a cool breeze blew in.
It is a great place to cool off or enjoy the scenery.
The emperor and the imperial concubine entered Qianshan Hall hand in hand, and everyone stood up to greet them.
Only after the two of them sat down at the top did the others dare to sit down.
Because we are in Shanglin Garden, the dishes tonight are mainly various wild game delicacies. The imperial chefs have put a lot of thought into making these wild game delicacies extremely delicious, making people forget the world after tasting them.
Xiao Xixi ate with great relish.
She added a piece of roasted deer tendon to Luo Qinghan's bowl.
"This deer tendon is very delicious. Please try it."
Luo Qinghan tasted it out of respect and nodded, "Not bad."
Xiao Xixi smiled happily and picked up some more dishes for him.
She was very capable of doing these things and didn't need anyone else to interfere at all.
The palace maids and eunuchs standing by could only watch.
Many guests at the table also noticed this scene and had different thoughts.
Although Concubine Jing was upset, she still had a smile on her face.
She even had the mood to joke with Concubine Li beside her.
"If the consort was here and saw how affectionate the imperial concubine and the emperor were, she would probably be sick for several days again."
Ever since Princess Li let herself go, her weight has remained high.
Now she is a well-deserved heavyweight among the concubines in the harem.
No one weighs more than her.
She was eating happily, and when she heard Concubine Jing's words, she sneered.
"Whether she is sick or not, what does it have to do with me?"
Concubine Jing was criticized, but she was not angry. She just smiled and said, "Sister Li Fei is still so quick-witted."
Li Fei glanced at her and said, "If you think I'm stupid, just say it directly. There's no need to beat around the bush."
Concubine Jing smiled gently: "Sister, you misunderstood. I didn't mean that. I just envy you for being able to live so happily every day and not taking anything to heart."
Princess Li rolled her eyes unceremoniously.
In the harem, the person she hated the most was the Concubine with Tuberculosis, followed by Concubine Jing.
It's not just because the three of them have the same status, but also because Concubine Lao and Concubine Jing both love to pretend.
One likes to pretend to be weak, the other likes to pretend to be generous.
None of them are fun!
Concubine Yao and Concubine Su sat at the same table.
Su Cairen had an outstanding appearance and knew how to dress herself up. Just by sitting there, she outshined all the concubines around her.
The only person present who could be compared to her in appearance was Yan Cairen.
But the beauty of the two people belongs to different categories, each with its own differences, and it is difficult to tell who is better or worse for a moment.
Yao Jieyu was a gossiper. She never stopped talking since she sat down. She kept chatting with Su Cairen about trivial things. At the same time, she did not forget to ask about Su Cairen's past in roundabout ways.
Su Cairen was a little overwhelmed by the questions, but since the other party was of higher status than her, she had to bite the bullet and deal with some of the questions even if she didn't want to answer them.
No matter what Su Cairen's mood was, to outsiders, she and Yao Jieyu were chatting enthusiastically and getting along very well.
In comparison, the table of Yan Cairen and Shao Liangren seemed particularly deserted.
Previously in the Imperial Garden, Yan Cairen had had an argument with Shao Liangren, for which Shao Liangren was punished to kneel for an hour.
Since then, the relationship between the two has completely fallen out and they no longer have any contact with each other.
At this time, the two were arranged to sit together. They couldn't say anything on their faces, but they were extremely unhappy in their hearts.
The two of them disliked each other, so naturally they had nothing to say to each other.
Some people at the table were whispering about Prince Jing.
"I heard that Prince Jing was sent back by the Emperor."
"Wasn't it the King of Ying who beat someone? Why is it the King of Jing who got punished?"
"You probably don't know this. Back then, Prince Xiling and Qin Zhong coupled the emperor, and the crown prince led troops to capture the rebels. King Ying played a major role in this."
"No wonder! I was worried that after the crown prince ascended the throne, instead of settling old scores with the King of England, he would make him the Right Patrol Officer."
"The Emperor should be more lenient with him because he remembers the old friendship between the King of England and him when he helped to quell the rebellion."
…
When Emperor Sheng Yong was still alive, the current emperor was just the crown prince. Relying on his status as the eldest prince, King Ying often opposed the crown prince.
When the two of them were fighting the most fiercely, they almost wished the other would die.
Everyone thought that the first thing the prince would do after ascending the throne was to get rid of the thorn in his side, the King of England, so that he would no longer covet his throne.
Unexpectedly, the emperor not only did not take action against the King of England, but instead gave him an official position as the Right Patrol Officer.
The Patrol Department is responsible for patrolling within Shengjing City. There aren’t many tasks involved, but they are all crucial, and only those trusted by the emperor can be appointed to this position.
Some smart people secretly speculated that perhaps the relationship between the Crown Prince and the Eldest Prince was not as bad as rumored by the outside world, and everything was just a show.
Tsk tsk, royal matters are really hard to explain!
Xiao Xixi has sharp ears, so even if other people speak in a very low voice, she can still hear some of it.
She whispered to the emperor beside her.
"How can you trust the Right Patrol Division to the foolish King of England?"
Luo Qinghan: "He was the one who insisted on being the Right Patrol Officer."
Xiao Xixi was curious: "Why?"
Luo Qinghan's expression is hard to describe.
“Because the Patrol Officer can ride on a tall horse and lead a group of soldiers to patrol the city.
When others see him, they have to nod and bow and flatter him in various ways.
He liked the feeling of showing off his power and insisted that I give him the position.
If he was not given money, he would cause all kinds of trouble in the city, causing the censors to submit memorials to impeach him.
In order to keep things quiet, I gave him an official position in the Right Patrol Department.
On weekdays, Xiao Lingfeng handles all the affairs in the patrol office.
The King of England doesn't care about anything else but showing off his power outside. "
Xiao Xixi thought about the conspiracy theories she had just heard and felt very weird. Perhaps outsiders had never expected that the truth was so superficial.
After three rounds of drinks, the atmosphere at the banquet gradually became lively.
Bu Shengyan pulled Luo Yechen up and walked in front of the emperor.
Luo Yechen's right hand was wrapped in a bandage and hung in front of his chest. His face still looked a little angry, and it was obvious that he had not yet completely recovered from what happened in the afternoon.
Bu Shengyan raised his glass and thanked the emperor.
