At the palace banquet, the sound of silk and bamboo could be heard endlessly. The emperor looked around and raised his glass, "I hope Tianqi will have good weather in the coming year, and the singing and dancing will be peaceful. All my beloved lords, please raise your glass."
"I hope Tianqi will have good weather and good weather in the coming year, and may singing and dancing be peaceful!"
All the guests present raised their glasses, and the feudal lord did not even raise his glasses to drink with him from afar.
The king of Southwest moved slowly and drank the whole drink in one gulp.
After a glass of wine, the emperor glanced at the King of Southwest with a vague look, and said in a loud voice: "The King of the Southwest rarely comes to the capital once, why don't you see the crown prince coming tonight? It would be nice for him and his son to meet each other."
The emperor deliberately provoked this conversation, meaning that your son is still in my hands.
The newly promoted Eunuch Liu next to the emperor immediately said: "When I return to the emperor, the prince is probably still studying hard. He said... he wants to learn from our prince!"
This was just making up nonsense to flatter people, but the emperor laughed loudly after hearing it: "Okay! Just like the king of Southwest, the prince is willing to work hard! My human prince is indeed a role model for the world.
!”
Eunuch Liu said flatteringly, "Isn't that right, Your Majesty? I heard that His Highness the Prince has a song that he wants to play for you!"
"Oh?" This was an arranged program, but the emperor still pretended to be interested and looked at Wei Cheng below, "Prince, what do you want to play?"
Prince Shi Shiran stood up. At the age of eight, he was dressed in the prince's bright yellow attire and looked quite impressive. "Going back to my father, I performed the guqin, a song called "High Mountains and Flowing Waters in Search of a Friend."
"As expected of His Highness the Crown Prince! He is truly talented in poetry and poetry, and he is proficient in everything!"
"Congratulations, Your Majesty, on winning this crown prince!"
Immediately many ministers agreed, and the emperor was overjoyed and clapped his hands, "Okay! Prince, let everyone listen to your music."
"My son... I've made a fool of myself."
The king of Southwest felt really bored listening to this show of power directed and performed by the imperial court. He held his chin up and drank lazily.
That boy Yu Wenyan, how can you not know that he is his father?
His own son studied hard and learned from the prince?
It would be nice if you don’t play dirty tricks...
He raised his eyes and unexpectedly met the eyes of King Yongye. The fat man smiled and complimented the emperor: "It's really a dragon and a phoenix. Your Majesty is so lucky!"
It was this compliment in vernacular that made the emperor even more satisfied.
This is the king and his ministers, the military and the army. The ministers are ministers and cannot be crossed no matter what. It doesn't matter if you are the vassal king? You don't just have to surrender to him Tianqi!
Over there, the attendant had already presented the prince's guqin. The prince sat in his seat and began to play the guqin quietly, just like he did every time he played the qin under the moonlight late at night.
Only this time, he counted the beats and points every time he played the piano.
one,
two,
three,
…
Suddenly, a panicked voice came from outside the palace. A little palace maid stumbled into the hall, her beauty pale; "No, it's not good! It's not good! Concubine Hui... hanged herself!"
"What!?"
Everyone in the palace was shocked!
The prince's piano also coincidentally broke at this moment, and the sound suddenly stopped.
The emperor's face was full of anger, "Concubine Hui hanged herself?!"
The queen was also shocked: "How could it be like this..."
The emperor strode towards the little girl and grabbed her fiercely. The emperor was extremely angry, as if his mind was out of control, "You said that Concubine Hui hanged herself!? Today is the day of celebration in the palace, and she actually chose today to hang herself!"
The emperor's cold and stern voice frightened the little palace maid to tremble and she was unable to say anything else.
The other courtiers were also in a heavy mood. They had never imagined that something happened to Concubine Hui before. They also did not expect that Concubine Hui, who was in the cold palace, would choose this day to kill herself... What does this mean? In order to embarrass the emperor with her own death.
?Let the world laugh at the emperor for not being able to control his own harem?
The emperor was already furious and shouted: "Here comes someone! Throw Concubine Hui into a mass grave! Don't enter the concubine's mausoleum!"
Everyone was even more shocked.
Can the emperor... be so cruel?...
After all, Concubine Hui was favored and gave birth to a second prince for him... but she couldn't even find peace after death...
All the courtiers inevitably felt sad that the rabbit had died and the fox had died.
"Your Majesty..." The queen stood up with a sad look on her face, as if she wanted to dissuade her. However, the emperor glared back at her with a stern look.
The emperor flicked his sleeves and said, "Queen, there is no need to say more! I am a noble person with a golden tongue! Since Concubine Hui dares to treat me like this, then don't blame me for not caring about the kindness we have accumulated over the years!"
After he finished speaking, he was still filled with anger that could not be calmed down. The anger kept burning, burning his reason!
He knew that he hated showing his weakness in front of the feudal lord, and he knew that there would be a palace banquet at the end of the year.
But Concubine Hui actually chose to embarrass him at this point, simply not taking his majesty into consideration! Concubine Hui deserves to die!
The emperor angrily strode back to the dragon chair and sat down with an angry look on his face: "Prince, keep playing!"
The prince stood up and said: "Father, the string of the piano is broken..."
The broken strings seemed to be the broken nerves in the emperor's mind. He glared at the prince, but he was his son after all, so the emperor endured it and said, "Where's the music officer! Keep playing!"
In an awkward atmosphere, the musicians looked at each other and did not dare to delay. They quickly continued to play, but I don't know if someone was frightened by this turn of events, and they actually made a few noises.
It made the already awkward and cold scene even more ugly.
At this time, Southwest Wang Yuwenjing suddenly laughed, "Why should your Majesty be angry? She's just a woman? What's the big deal... But the sound of this silk bamboo is really not that good. It's not as good as the prince's piano, and it's not as good as my southwest diabolo.
It’s just missing some flavor.”
The emperor couldn't help but looked at the King of Southwest coldly: "Oh? Is Aiqing familiar with how to play diabolo? Why not take this opportunity to perform for everyone."
But the king of Southwest laughed and said, "I am not as skilled as the prince, so I won't show off my ugliness."
The emperor looked at him coldly and was about to have an attack, when he heard someone running in panic outside the hall.
The emperor was almost furious, "What's wrong!"
The father-in-law shouted from a distance, "It's leaking! It's leaking! The palace is leaking!"
"What!?"
Now not only the emperor was shocked, but also the ministers!
It turned out that the palace was in trouble! Then... where are the little princes who didn't come to the palace banquet tonight! And what happened to the fire!
Even the prince stopped his hand——
He never expected that Yu Wenyan would dare to do this.
Even if you want to leave the palace, you shouldn't take such desperate risks.
Really...crazy.
"Are there any casualties!?" The emperor finally found some sense, "Quick! Put out the fire!"
The one who came to report was already so smoked that he said with a grimace: "The slaves and maids are putting out the fire... It's just, it's just..."
The emperor's heart tightened, "Just what? Tell me!"
The man's legs were trembling, "It's just that the palaces of the Crown Prince and the Third Prince have been burned down, and the Crown Prince's palace is even more... I'm afraid the Crown Prince is gone!"
What! The prince was also worried!
This Yu Wenyan actually burned down his palace!
And Yu Wenjing also overturned the table, "My emperor, this is the teaching you promised, treat my son well!?"
