Red makeup against the world

Chapter 295 King Qi's Birthday
At dusk, the shadow guard stronghold.

Qian Feng strode into the room, Wu Zhengxiang looked up and saw him, with a smile on his lips, he asked, "Is everything settled?"

"That's natural. If someone makes a move for me, how can it be in vain?"

This time Wen Mulan was sent to Xu Wanzhen, using Qian Feng's own staff, but it had nothing to do with the shadow guard.

Wu Zhengxiang nodded and said, "How does she look?" Counting the days, I haven't seen her for several days, and I miss her very much.

Qian Feng showed a teasing smile, and joked: "How can it be bad to have a high-ranking Master Ying like you planning for her?"

Wu Zhengxiang laughed, in front of him, he didn't intend to hide his true feelings for Xu Wan.If you count from Qian Feng's love for Su Zhiqing, he is still a junior.

Qian Feng sat across from him, wanted to say something but hesitated.

Wu Zhengxiang glanced at him and said: "Just say what you want to say, I have no outsiders here." Indeed, apart from Wu Rui guarding the door, there was no one else in the yard.

Qian Feng lowered his voice and said, "I want to ask my lord, what do you think about the current situation in Beijing and China where two tigers are fighting each other?"

After contemplating for a moment, Wu Zhengxiang said: "The emperor is the master of all the world, a rare wise king. Now that he is in the prime of his life, I don't care what others think, but I am only loyal to the emperor."

Qian Feng nodded, and asked: "It's fine at the moment, but in my opinion, the situation will get worse in three years. At that time, if you have to choose a side, what should you do?"

Everyone knows that "Long live the emperor" is just a slogan, where is there really a long live emperor?When the emperor passed away, and Wu Zhengxiang and others were still young, what should they do?

In the past dynasties, with the new emperor's ascension to the throne, there was always a big cleansing.Promote and promote those who support meritorious service, suppress and depose those who oppose it, and block or execute those who pose a threat, without exception.If you choose to remain neutral, it is possible that the new emperor will not pursue it, and it is possible that the entire family will fall into silence.

The question he asked, Wu Zhengxiang had already asked himself hundreds of times, the crown prince and the king of Qi, in the end there is always one person to choose, who should he choose?Even General Long, who was far away in the northwest border, knew how to plan ahead and sent Fan Bin to explore the way first, so how could he be an exception.

"Looking at it for another two years, there is no rush right now. The more critical the situation is, the more we can see the character of people, and good birds will also choose trees to live in."

Hearing what he said, Qian Feng knew it.Yes, it's not them who are anxious now, but the crown prince and King Qi.

……

The next day, May 26, was the birthday of King Qi.

Princess Zhaoyang's car drove out of Gongsifang and headed towards Prince Qi's mansion.

The upper and middle doors of Prince Qi's mansion were wide open, and there was a lot of traffic.Horse-drawn carriages continued to arrive, and there was an endless stream of high-ranking officials, dignitaries and lords.

Chang Shi of the mansion received the guests at the door, and the important guests were greeted by the King of Chu in person.

As the protagonist of today's birthday, King Qi sat upright in the lobby, receiving congratulations from guests from all over the world.

There is a saying that people are in good spirits on happy occasions. He is dressed in a purple satin gown with large clusters of flowers, a belt with a jade belt hook tied around his waist, and a high crown of seven treasures glazed on his head.With a smile on the corner of his mouth, his face is handsome, and his whole person looks heroic.

Princess Qi greeted the female relatives at the flower hall in the backyard.On the birthday of King Qi, all the famous people in Beijing, no matter what their position is, are all present today.

"Princess Zhaoyang is here!"

Following the roll call at the door, Princess Zhaoyang rushed into the flower hall.

Princess Qi hurriedly went up to meet her, and said with a smile: "Young sister is here! Your imperial brother sent someone to ask you several times."

Princess Zhaoyang smiled heartily: "Hi, sister-in-law! I came here early in the morning, and I'm congratulating brother Huang outside!"

When she came, all the female relatives present stood up and saluted her.

"Please hurry up, this is a family banquet, please be casual. If you pay attention to these trivial etiquettes, you will be exhausted!" Princess Zhaoyang said her heart out, coupled with her bright smile, made these female relatives feel very cordial .

Princess Zhaoyang took her seat and began to talk loudly.Ask the old lady of this family how she is, and when will the young lady of that family hold the wedding ceremony.Whose family's fat boy is full moon, whose daughter-in-law is pregnant with her second child, and Princess Zhaoyang is like every treasure.

What's rare is that she remembers every lady present here clearly, and it's not wrong at all.Even if it was the young lady who showed up for the first time, she could call out her identity in one go.Let everyone in this hall feel that they are valued by Princess Zhaoyang.

After a while, Princess Zhaoyang became the absolute protagonist in the flower hall.

Mrs. Dingguo's old lady Li looked at the shining Princess Zhaoyang in the crowd, and sighed in her heart.

She is the one who most resembles the emperor among all the children of Empress Cao.At a young age, he revealed a strategy far beyond ordinary people.In the point of being cold-hearted and profit-oriented, it is even more resembling.

When the emperor ordered her to marry Khitan, Empress Cao was such a daughter, how could she be willing to marry her to Khitan thousands of miles away?For this reason, there was a big fight with the emperor, and the emperor and empress had a cold war for a while.

During that time, she was anxious and often went to the palace to persuade her.But Empress Cao insisted on not listening, and the emperor must change her will.In the end, it was Princess Zhaoyang who eased the matter.

Regarding the fate of marrying Khitan far away, she didn't cry or argue, and took it calmly.I don't know what she said to Empress Cao when she entered the palace, which finally ended the cold war.

It's a pity that she is not a man!

Although there were many guests, King Qi's birthday banquet was quite low-key.

No theater troupe was invited to come in for a concert, and no birthday tent was specially set up.I just invited the silk and bamboo team to add to the fun on the male guest's side.On the female side, a few female gentlemen were invited to tell the story.

Before the birthday banquet began, an angel came to announce the decree, and the emperor and empress rewarded him with a royal meal of pearls.

After listening to the decree, everyone in the hall had their own thoughts.In previous years, King Qi's birthday was usually rewarded by the queen's order.This is the first time that the emperor and empress jointly issued a decree. It seems that the rumors in the palace that the emperor's attitude towards the empress has greatly improved are not false.

After hearing the decree, the smile on the prince's handsome face was distorted, and he secretly clenched his fists hidden in his sleeves, feeling great hatred in his heart.

His only reliance was the position of the orthodox crown prince, which was the unique favor of his father.Are you going to lose all of this?

King Qi's birthday banquet was well-regulated, not brilliant and nothing to criticize, but there was an episode in the middle.

In the midst of the fragrance of clothes and shadows on the temples, and the shaking of cups, a scream was heard.

Everyone turned their heads to look, only to see a woman with a terrified face rushing in in a panic.

Her complexion was slightly pale, even though she looked flustered, she couldn't hide her beautiful face and watery eyes.Wearing an apricot-pattern half-arm, lined with a blue skirt, and a wishful gilt hairpin in her hair.This attire is a bit confusing to guess her identity.

Judging by her face and figure, and the demeanor in her gestures, it is obvious that she is not a maid.Look at her hair in a girlish bun, but this dress is only a little better than a maid, how can she look like a young lady?

　Thanks to "Bai Xiong Fang" for the reward of the peace talisman, and thanks to "Yangyang Dahua" and "First-line Commander" for the precious monthly tickets. Zhouzhou will continue to work hard, love you ^_^
