"As the crown prince, I should do this..." The tone of the crown prince's words became weaker and weaker, causing everyone to frown. How can this look like a crown prince!
The prince's hypocrisy, how can a discerning person fail to see what he wants to do?Not to mention Zhou Xian!

Zhou Xian didn't feel the slightest sadness of being bound by his father and son's family affection, he just responded in a very ordinary way:
"I want to come to the emperor's grandfather, and he originally wanted me to go to Guihua City. My father's health is not good recently, and I also need to sit in the capital, so I must not be exhausted by boats and cars; my father, as the heir, can't take the risk by myself, so, Hai'er is the most suitable person to go to Guihua City for appeasement."

After Zhou Xian finished speaking, before the crown prince praised him with words such as "knowledge of righteousness", he calmly made arrangements as before:

The imperial grandfather has not been in court for a long time, and now he is addicted to drugs. It is estimated that the earthquake in Guihua City will not change this situation;

He ordered several cabinet ministers not to go home these few days, and to live in the palace to be careful of accidents, and to issue decrees quickly, unless it was a last resort, there was no need to go to the East Palace to ask the prince to make a decision;

He also asked Si Chengtan, the commander of Jinyiwei, to control the Forbidden Palace, and no one else was allowed to enter or leave at will;
The emperor's uncles stayed in their respective mansions, and once they received an urgent report, they could send troops to help quickly with the warrant that he sent back from Guihua City [-] miles away.

In the end, Zhou Xian looked at the palace that Facai walked out of and pursed his lips. Regarding the matter of his imperial grandfather, his words rolled on the tip of his tongue a few times, but finally he still didn't say anything.

He was too weak to fight Concubine Long and save the imperial grandfather from fire and water; besides... deep down in his heart, he still resented the imperial grandfather because of the Lin family's affairs...

When the cabinet ministers received the order, they didn't take into account the undercurrents among the sons and daughters of the princes and grandchildren. They listened to His Royal Highness, and they did what they should do.The first step is to find the eunuch to ask for bedding...

The prince's complexion is not very good, his own son just said clearly, "Tell me not to point fingers at the cabinet affairs";

Zhou Yan is still smiling like that, but his heart is heavy like never before: this is his only chance; if he fails this time, he will startle Zhou Xian, and he will attack him decisively...Zhou Xian He can only stay in Guihua City!
Concubine Long is in a much more relaxed mood. Although Zhou Xian is difficult to deal with, there is still Zhou Yan, isn't there?And after Zhou Yancheng's incident, she will decisively take the lives of Zhou Yan and Na Si Chengtan...

Si Chengtan breathed a sigh of relief. Even if His Royal Highness Taisun had done his best, he never expected that he would already be in the ranks of the ten princes; when the ten princes and the new emperor ascended the throne, he would still be the emperor's confidant who wielded great power...

When everyone finished discussing and began to walk out one after another, Concubine Long kept staring at Si Chengtan who could only walk at the end due to her status, and smiled coldly.

"My lord, in the next few days, you have to guard the palace and guard the safety of the emperor and concubines. You have a heavy responsibility, and you will inevitably work day and night; this noble concubine is very grateful, thinking that tonight, I will have dinner with you tonight. All the people in the middle set up a thank-you banquet for Master Si, and Master Wanwang appreciates his face~"

Her posture is low, her tone is gentle and sincere, which is quite different from her usual one-sided and domineering appearance.When Si Chengtan turned his face, what he saw was Concubine Long like this.

It is precisely because of this that people feel that rejecting her is a very cruel thing; besides... Who would be willing to refuse Concubine Long's cook?

Si Chengtan's complexion changed, he had already heard about the Tenth Prince's ability to "poison" Concubine Long, how could he dare to "put sheep into the tiger's mouth"?

"Your concubine, you are being polite. It is the duty of Jin Yiwei to defend the royal family. How can we talk about 'thank you'?" Si Chengtan hurriedly bowed, trying to avoid Concubine Long's "graciousness is hard to refuse".

Zhou Yan's mind was full of twists and turns. Concubine Long probably wouldn't realize that they had reached an alliance, and she should just be doing something to attract Si Chengtan.Besides... If he opens his mouth to decline on Si Chengtan's behalf, wouldn't it be more suspected of "there is no silver 300 taels here"?
Zhou Yan winked at Si Chengtan from a place where no one else could see; Si Chengtan pretended to refuse again, and hurriedly agreed.

Concubine Long Gui was also magnanimous, and invited everyone present to the banquet, but everyone declined.

At night, Si Chengtan was a little apprehensive, but he had to adjust to a "flattered" appearance.

Before entering Concubine Long's Wan'an Palace, I could smell the aroma of food wafting from a distance, which was much better than the decadent smell of drugs that always wafted in the palace in recent days.

The aroma of rice is more invigorating than the smell of black incense, making people down-to-earth and full of energy.

After entering, Si Chengtan couldn't help but be shocked: Concubine Long is actually cooking in person!
The fact that someone like Concubine Long dived headlong into the business of cooking and cooking made him feel not only deeply moved, but also greatly terrified.

This fear is derived from the intuition brought about by years of blood licking:
She put in so much effort today, if she didn't want to attract him today, then this Hongmen banquet would definitely be a death or a death thing!
Concubine Long Gui didn't have any fancy clothes or make-up, and she even wore an apron because of the cooking gas and steam, with her face up to the sky.

His Highness the Third Prince, Zhou Pan, was also at the side, looking at this curiously, taking a bite there, and after being slapped by Concubine Long, he just quietly watched with his hands in his hands.

No matter how you look at this scene, it looks like the mistress and her bear child.

At that time, Concubine Long was kneeling behind a bronze gui with a round mouth and two ears, pouring peanut-sized plant seeds from a bronze bean vessel into the gui, picking up a dagger to stir the pork ribs cooking in the gui;
After seeing him invite Ann to enter, he smiled at him and motioned him to sit down.Then he asked the third prince Zhou Pan to get the wine warmed in the pot, put it in the respect, and poured a goblet for each of the three of them.

Except for what she was cooking, other food had already been placed in place, waiting for him to be seated.

The maids at the side also specially played with a bronze tuo.

Si Chengtan was secretly startled, this concubine Long Gui was really rich and powerful, and she made the whole set of bronze wares as soon as she said she could use them as cooking utensils; at the same time, she also had a little calculation: when the third prince loses the heir apparent, her so many good things will be cheaper again who? ...

Concubine Long Gui was cutting vegetables on a table, and at the same time, she thought of "man is a knife and I am fish", and Zhou Yan and Si Chengtan are the fish who think they are swords.

Her concubine Long's banquets were never set up for nothing, and every one was a grand banquet that the prey hadn't realized.

As for today's event, I would like to thank Du Heng for his help.
