The black belly king loves evil concubine

Chapter 7 The Palace Banquet Episode (2)
Now courtiers don't care about politics, the emperor is old and sick, and the prime minister uses the banner of the prince to exclude dissidents and suppress officials who don't submit to them, which makes people panic.In this politically unstable situation, if you don't pay attention, you will lose your head. Even the eunuchs and maids in the palace are busy and cautious, let alone those who are officials and generals.

Although the dynasty is gradually falling like a superstar, its huge foundation is still there.Today's banquet is held in the imperial garden, with delicious food, delicacies, and delicacies.The guests were sitting in their seats, chatting, or chuckling, but on the surface it was still a scene of harmony and harmony.

On the right hand side of the main seat, Yun Feilong, the second prince of Nanyue Kingdom, was sitting next to Prince Murong Xiang, and the two were talking with their heads bowed.The second prince Murong Ran had a relaxed expression on his face, as if all this had nothing to do with him. Below was Prime Minister Guo Tao, with treachery and conspiracy written all over his face, with a high-ranking appearance, like a butcher who controls the fate of all his ministers.

The first vacant seat on the left hand side of the main seat must be the seat of the third prince Murong Rui, but he is not seen, next to him is the general Xue Yang, Xue Yang sneered at Guo Tao, and his brows were full of uprightness.It can be seen that the two forces are evenly matched, and they are not easy to mess with.Although the prime minister colluded with hundreds of officials, and his nephew Guo Li controlled the palace guards, the general Xue Yang also held real power, and he could mobilize troops if necessary.

Below are the civil and military officials, and below that are the wives and daughters of princes and nobles.Those ladies must have been well-dressed, some surrounded by jewels, some young and innocent, some graceful, some gentle and charming, in short, each has its own characteristics and has everything that one expects to find, as if gathering the best beauties of the Shengtian Dynasty lineage.

However, there are thousands of women, all of whom are vulgar things, wishing to become a phoenix overnight and climb to the high branch of high status. Only one woman in Tsing Yi, with a smile on her face, is calm and natural, as if she is not involved, and is just a spectator today.This woman is Murong Qing'er, the daughter of the Southwest King, and she has a close relationship with the third prince. However, the imperial power is fighting and the prince is domineering. Will she become a victim of power?

A remote place in the palace.

"Xiang'er, you can't go in, it's too dangerous." Murong Rui said anxiously.

"Rui, it's okay for me to go and see such a lively scene. I'm ready, why not go?"

"You went in with such a high profile, what should you do if you are watched by someone in the future?"

"Rui, you forgot, Hongzhuxiang has already been born in a high-profile way, and she is no longer the black hand behind the scenes."

Murong Rui was speechless, yes, Hong Zhuxiang was born, how could he live in darkness again?As proud as she is, she naturally wants to live proudly, and walk freely between the world and the earth.

"Xiang'er, I found that I can no longer stop you. But, promise me, at any time, you will protect yourself and don't bet your own life, okay?" Murong Rui said sadly, and said softly hugged Hongzhuxiang tightly.He really regretted that he shouldn't have involved her in these court disputes in the first place, but it's too late to say anything now, and he just hoped that this quagmire would not get deeper and deeper.

"Don't be like this, am I fine now? We still have to be confidants for the rest of our lives. You said, you know me, we don't have anything to do, we all have to be fine, so I don't allow you to take risks. I know Things are not simple today, if there is any emergency, I can help a little." Hong Zhuxiang did not refuse, as if this was just an affectionate hug from an old friend, everything was so natural.

However, Wuying, who was ordered by the landlord to protect Hongzhuxiang in the dark, was inexplicably angry. This woman was too much, how could she provoke the landlord and cuddle with other men?Hey, what will happen if the landlord finds out?I'm afraid he has the heart to kill.

"Xiang'er, I have to go."

"Okay, I will use the dance as an excuse to ask to enter the palace in a while. You must arrange the manpower and someone will report it smoothly."

"Ok!"

After a stick of incense, the voice of the eunuch and spies came. "The emperor is here, the empress is here, and the concubine Mei is here."

"Long live the emperor, long live the emperor, a thousand years for the queen, a thousand years for the empress, and a thousand years for the concubine Mei."

"Your lords are alive. Today is a feast for all the ministers. You and your family should drink to your heart's content!" The emperor's mighty but weak voice came, and everyone speculated that the emperor's days might be numbered.

By now, the emperor might be powerless. He succeeded to the throne at the age of 30, and now he is only in his 40s, but he looks terminally ill, but his expression is not naturally old. Chronic poison, tortured so much that he became sick all the year round, unable to interfere with the government.

To be honest, he is not to be blamed for the current situation. The decline of a dynasty naturally has its own laws. It would be too cruel to attribute him to an emperor who has only been on the throne for more than ten years. What's more, when the first emperor was alive, the dynasty was already on the verge of collapse up.It may not be a blessing to be born in such an imperial family, even though it is well-clothed and well-fed.

"Your Majesty, the prince of Han Hai is here to see you, and he said that he is traveling here, and he is here to visit His Majesty." A guard reported.

"Oh? The prince of Hanhai is here, please!"

"Xuan, the prince of Hanhai sees you." Just as the eunuch's voice fell, a man in a white robe who was startled and gorgeous stepped forward. The light is breathtaking.However, no one knew that this was Xiao Tianzhan disguised as the prince of Hanhai Kingdom, no one had ever seen him before, so naturally no one doubted it.

"Your Majesty, I wish you all the best of luck and prosperity!" The man bowed slightly and bowed respectfully to the emperor.

"Prince Hanhai, when did you come to our Shengtian Dynasty? If I had known that the prince was here, my officials would have warmly welcomed you."

"I came to Shengjing privately to visit His Majesty. I brought His Majesty a Pearl of the Vast Sea today. Grinding it into powder can prolong life. I hope Your Majesty will accept it."

"The prince is interested, please take a seat." The emperor said with a smile. Although he tried his best to conceal his illness, it still made people feel that he was so weak that he was so crippled that even an immortal would be helpless.

"Report to the emperor, the owner of the Red Bamboo Fragrance Pavilion asked to see him, and said that the person who brought the fragrance pavilion would perform a dance for the emperor."

"Oh? It's really lively today."

"Father, I heard that the owner of the Red Bamboo Fragrance Pavilion is beautiful, and the dance in the Red Bamboo Fragrance Pavilion is also exquisite. Since you came here on your own initiative today, why not take a look at his demeanor and see if the rumors are true or not?" ?" Prince Murong Xiang tried his best to instigate him, but he wanted to see how Murong Rui would react today.

"Since the crown prince recommended it, let's announce it."

This woman actually put herself in danger for Murong Rui, and this is what it takes to be friends? !Xiao Tianzhan's whole body seemed to be enveloped by a smell of jealousy, and Wu Zing next to him was so sour, thinking that Wu Ying's punishment must be related to this matter.Is the landlord really fascinated by a woman?The landlord, who has never been close to women, looks very cute now.
