The night sky was clear, and the stars were hidden in the clouds. Only the crescent moon still popped out. In such a night, even if there were birds in the sky, it would be difficult for people to notice them. A white shadow flashed across the eaves of the palace wall, and finally fell.
On top of a high pavilion.
The Bronze Bird Terrace is located in the southwest corner of King Chen's Palace and is more than ten feet high. At this time, the lights are brightly lit, making the place as bright as day. The curtains and curtains shine with golden light and gently sway with the sound of silk and bamboo on the stage.
Cao Que is sitting on a high platform, accompanied by two beautiful women on the left and right. One woman is so beautiful that her blue eyes are so charming that it is difficult to move away after just one look at her. It is Tang Yanning, the current leader of the Tang League.
; One woman is graceful and delicate, with an exquisite figure and slightly rippling eyes, but she is Tang Wanning; the two women are already of excellent beauty, and each has their own style. There are probably not many men in the world who can resist.
Ministers from all ministries congratulated and toasted to Cao Que one after another. Cao Que was satisfied and drank several cups in a row. He was already slightly tipsy. He hugged the two girls and scanned the crowd. He saw a six-year-old child in the seat who was unhappy. There was food on the table.
Without moving at all, he asked: "Ayan, why don't you eat?"
The youngest son was the prince Cao Yan. Hearing his father's question, Cao Yan pouted angrily and said: "My father hosted a banquet without bringing the palace, but instead cuddled with other women. If my grandfather knew about it, he would definitely blame him..."
"How outrageous!" When he heard Cao Yan pouring water on him and suppressing him, Cao Que immediately became furious and said angrily: "Ayan, since you know etiquette, how can you not know the three cardinal principles? Since ancient times, the king is the guide for the ministers, and the father is the guide for the son.
The husband is the wife, I am the king, your grandfather is the minister, I am the father, you are the son, I am the husband, and the queen is the wife. Do you three, grandparents and grandchildren know how indulgent I am in my daily life, which makes you disrespect the king?
Father, you have no regard for human relations and have never taken me, the king, seriously!"
Cao Yan wanted to say something more, but seeing that his father was angry and there were many ministers in the hall, he knew he shouldn't say anything more, so he kept silent.
Cao Que was unhappy and didn't want Cao Yan to upset him here anymore, so he ordered: "Come here, take the prince back to my palace. Watch carefully and don't run around."
"No need!" There was a soft shout at the door, and then a woman in plain clothes burst in with a sword. The woman was plainly dressed, without any makeup, and seemed out of place with this gorgeous palace.
Cao Que was slightly drunk, his eyes were blurry, and he vaguely saw the beautiful figure when he asked for help in Sishui City in the past. He was sure that the person who came was his wife, but when he saw Tang Anning's dress, he felt faintly panicked and said doubtfully: "
What is the queen doing?"
Tang Anning replied calmly: "Cao Que, I am here today to make peace with you. We will have nothing to do with you from now on. I will take Yan'er away!"
"Queen, the prince is the foundation of the country, how can you take him away just as you say..." A minister stood up to dissuade him, but before he finished speaking, he pinched his throat and fell to the ground. Everyone was shocked, and the guards at the door rushed to him.
When he came in, he saw that Tang Anning was calm and gentle, her raised hand slowly fell down, and she asked softly to Cao Yan: "Ayan, mother is leaving here. Do you want to follow your father or go with mother?"
?”
Cao Yan happily shouted: "Of course I will go with you. Wherever you go, I will follow you!" After saying that, he got up and ran over, but was suddenly picked up from behind.
"Second sister!" Tang Wanning picked up Cao Yan and said with a charming smile: "You are a very smart kid. My little sister loves you very much. Why don't you stay..."
Before she finished speaking, there was a loud "slap" sound, and Tang Anning received a loud slap on the right side of her face. A white flash of lightning took Cao Yan from her hand. Taking two steps back, Tang Anning held Cao Yan's hand.
Yan said in a cold voice: "Third sister, I have never fought with you. I have accepted all your plots against me since I was a child, which made you gradually complacent. You have never taken me, the legitimate daughter of the Tang Alliance, seriously."
Little did you know that if I wanted to kill you, even my eldest sister wouldn’t be able to save you!"
