Don’t Learn Mandarin Ducks

Chapter 63: Fushou Banquet

 The beat in the courtyard, with the dew and the breeze, woke her up every time.

    "Tonight the wind blows last night again, spring flowers are fluttering in the old dream, looking back on the past, there is nothing else, the old man smiled and leaned on the east of the old hall."

    The old prince's voice was bright, and he sang these lines in a clear and tactful way. Through the mist in the morning light, he evoked a few scoldings from the old princess.

    "It's good to say that you are a prince, how can you learn some low-level activities, how can anyone sing in this high-level courtyard, let Jinshang know, and they will say that you are not doing your job properly."

    The old man has a good temper, and he was happy when he was told the last two sentences. He just touched his belly and smiled: "Guotai and people's safety, when the country is peaceful and people's safety, where can I do my job properly."

      Playing around, often gossiping with people about the little master of the West Palace.

    However, within a few years, there was an infighting in the court, which rotted from the roots, the mountains and rivers were broken, and the enemy army was overwhelmed.

     

      Opportunity to hide.

    With all his armor torn to pieces and his face full of blood, he stood under the red wall and yellow tiles, just like standing outside her window every morning, singing in a bright voice: Tonight is blowing last night's wind again , spring flowers flutter in old dreams.

    Unfortunately, before the singing was over, Kang Zhenzhong took his big sword and rode past the horse. The man cut it down, and the fat body staggered, as if he didn't want to fall.

     

    "Looking back is nothing."

    Shuang Jiang pinched his cuffs and sang like two points from his father and king, "The old man smiled and leaned on the east of the old hall—"

     

     

    Why can I cry when I sing these lines? Kang Zhenzhong stepped forward blankly and wanted to ask.

    But before he could ask, his heart suddenly froze.

    A chill penetrated his heart and lungs, frightening him from drinking, Kang Zhenzhong's eyes bulged, staring blankly at the familiar girl in front of him, his eyes slowly moving down , landed on his chest pierced by the awl.

     

    Looking at her in horror, Kang Zhenzhong didn't dare to breathe, fell off the chair and crawled out shaking hands.

    He doesn't want to die yet, and he still has a revenge for Ramadan, so how can he go down to see her like this? However, the person behind him didn't want to let him go, he didn't take two steps, and he fell heavily on his back, and the awl that had already entered his chest by three inches suddenly disappeared into his heart, and the pain pierced his heart.

     

     

    The banquet was full of liveliness, playing and singing was very complete, no one would care about this subtle movement. Only Yin Huayue leaned against the table and listened carefully, tapping her on the edge of the table one after another.

    She had been preparing for Frostfall for a month, and the play was finally sung today. With a long sigh, Huayue picked up the cup and touched Li Jingyun next to her.

    Li Jingyun glanced at her sideways, stared at her cup, seemed to remember something, reached out and changed her a cup of tea: "Drink this."

    Hua Yue is not happy: "It's rare to be happy today, how can you not drink?"

    "You can't stand the amount of alcohol you drink, and neither can you." He pointedly pointed at her forehead, "Be honest."

     After taking a sip of tea, Huayue put her teacup aside and glanced at her in disgust.

    This posture is a bit delicate, she was stunned when she finished, and shook her head with a smile. After all, he is a child who has been pampered and grown up. No matter how many things he has gone through, as long as he is pampered again, he has to reappear.

    Hua Yue never thought about it, Li Jingyun and her have come to this point, they were originally disgusted with each other when they were together, but now, this grandfather will spoil her and let her , The life is so comfortable that she wants to go back to the troubles of Shen Zhiluo and ask him what hexagram he is calculating, how can it not end well? Aren't they both fine?

     

    The corner of her mouth pursed in satisfaction, Huayue leaned on the shoulder of the man next to her.

    "What?" Li Jingyun hummed, "Drunken tea?"

    Pinch him, she laughed angrily: "Who's even drunk on this?"

      ."

    Flower Moon: "…"

    This blessing and longevity banquet can still go away? What's the matter with the stiff neck and the tiger's head can't be chopped off?

    Sighing and shaking her head, Huayue continued to drink tea.

    After a while, someone came up and whispered beside Li Jingyun: "Sir, something happened to Xiaoyuan next to him. Master Zhang has no idea, and I want to invite you to come over."

      Li Jingyun didn't know what was going on at the other end, so he stood up and wanted to look over there.

    "Hey." Kayue suddenly covered her stomach and grabbed his sleeve with a pale face.

    "What?" Li Jingyun turned back.

    "Stomach hurts." Her brows and eyes knitted together, the cold sweat on her forehead fell, the blood on her lips faded, and her whole body shivered.

    Li Jingyun was taken aback, helped her up and told the palace servant to find Wen Guzhi, and then said to the person who reported: "Let him figure it out, I can't control the guard. , I really can't find your Highness first."

    Originally, he was assigned to supervise the Royal Forest Army, but he occasionally helped Zhang Jingyi in the face of the prince. When his wife had something to do, it was naturally the wife in front and outsiders behind.

    Kayue was very relieved, took his hand and hummed even more.

    The messenger withdrew in embarrassment, and Li Jingyun rubbed her stomach while being suspicious: "Does it really hurt?"

    "Really." She grinned and leaned against his arms, "Oh, it hurts so bad."

    Mo Tong squinted, he leaned closer to her ear and whispered: "Wen Guzhi will come soon, if you really hurt, I will go to leave, but if you pretend to scare people, you The night is over."

    The back was cold, Huayue took a breath, and her eyes rolled around.

    Wen Guzhi came very quickly. As soon as the medicine box was put aside, she came to check her pulse. Huayue opened her mouth to speak, but Li Jingyun stretched out her hand to cover her mouth and eyes, and said coldly: "Don't say anything until he's done."

    It's over, Huayue's eyes darkened.

    Wen Guzhi checked his pulse for a while through the handkerchief, looked at her and then at his third master, and asked hesitantly, "Did you drink at the table?"

    "No." Li Jingyun hummed, "He stopped me, and I didn't eat anything indiscriminately, don't make excuses for her, to be honest, what else could make her stomach hurt like this? ?"

    Looking at him with a complicated look, Wen Guzhi slowly raised his index finger and landed on his heart.

    Li Jingyun: "?"

    "My sister-in-law has been in her body for more than two months." He said, "It can only be that you made her stomach hurt."

    The happy birthday banquet with the noisy orchestra, the musical instruments that were being beaten and played suddenly became silent, and the voices around were drifting away, Li Jingyun looked at Wen Guzhi dumbfoundedly, in his mind Blank.

    Hua Yue was also stunned, she took away her hand and stared at Wen Guzhi: "More than two months?"

    Wen Guzhi nodded, facing her suspicious gaze, she couldn't help rolling her eyes: "Neither of you are aware of it?"

    How is this detected? She has been very busy recently, and Li Jingyun is busier than her. Although the two of them often do such shameless deeds, no one expected it to happen so soon.

    She was just thinking about two years?

    "Is Mrs.-in-law falling in pain or what does it feel like?" Wen Guzhi said solemnly, "If you fall in pain, you must be careful.

    She didn't really hurt, she just didn't want Li Jingyun to stir up the muddy water. Hua Yue opened her mouth to explain, but before she could speak, her hand was caught.

    The palm of the third master, which was still hot before, was a little cold when he held it again.

    "What then?" he asked.

      wait until. I never thought that I heard it in this scene today.

     

    Li Jingyun is going to leave without saying a word, but there are still people talking to Yujin. Hua Yue took a look and grabbed him quickly: "It's okay, I'm better now, and I won't be able to leave when the table is over."

    Now that I'm gone, who will take care of Frostfall?

    Li Jingyun glared at her with a sullen face, fearing to scare people, her demeanor was a little slow, and she said awkwardly: "Is it possible for you to go back?"

    "Then you go back." Hua Yue smiled, "I'm sitting here."

    "..." Li Daduhu, who hadn't scolded anyone for a long time, finally couldn't hold back a low curse.

    He turned around, lifted the hem of his clothes and sat back stiffly beside her.

    Wen Guzhi comforted him: "Third Master, don't be too nervous. Mrs.-in-law knows the situation best herself. She says it's okay to be okay."

    "Master isn't nervous, why don't you just conceive a body? It seems that no one has ever conceived - no, it seems that no one has ever seen it before."

    Hua Yue covered her stomach and looked at him sideways. She couldn't help but reach out and hook the palm of his side.

    He folded his palms and held her tightly.

    The liveliness of playing and singing in the front continued, and Huayue didn't look at him, just stared at his side face and smiled, feeling full and satisfied like never before.

    "Your Highness."

    Zhou Heshuo was talking with Yao Guifei's palace, when suddenly someone came to report: "Something happened at the Fulu Banquet, and Mr. Kang of the Cabinet died in the small garden next to him for people to rest. Inside, the guards didn't catch the murderer, they're investigating one by one."

    Hearing this, Zhou Hexuo changed his face. In order to allow the guards to make meritorious deeds and to atone for their sins, Zhang Jingyi was asked to lead people to patrol tonight's Fulu Banquet. If someone died suddenly, is there any way for Zhang Jingyi to survive?

    "Go, let someone press the message first." He said solemnly, "I can't let the royal father know about this."

    The servant took orders, but after a while, he came back tremblingly and said: "Your Majesty Chuan-sir Kang has asked."

    "How come?" Zhou Heshuo was shocked, "Didn't you just ask?"

     "Someone spoke about the cabinet revision. His Majesty said that he had not listened to the report, so he asked Mr. Kang to come back and say a few more words."

    Something was wrong, Zhou Heshuo shook his head: "It can't be such a coincidence."

    It was obvious that someone did it on purpose to kill Kang Zhenzhong... He knew early on that Kang Zhenzhong was a thorn in the eyes of those former Wei Wei evildoers, and he has been guarded by people, and he has been busy recently, and there are fewer guards , something happened.

     

    Zhou Heshuo bowed to Concubine Yao and went out, personally led the troops to investigate, and wanted to suppress the news and catch the murderer before the banquet was dispersed, so as to make up for it.

    Concubine Yao frowned slightly as she looked at him in a hurry, leaning on the couch of the imperial concubine with her enchanting figure, and snorted softly.

    The men in the Zhou royal family, even if they fall out of her stomach, are ruthless.

     She stretched out her hand to add incense, she yawned and continued to sleep.

      After standing, someone still brought people, and took out all the minions who were not in the compartment just now.

   

      But now there is really nowhere to run, there are people everywhere, what should I do?

    The palace maid who checked the dress had already walked up to her, Shuang lowered her head, and her eyes were all white.

    "Where is the maid in the General's Mansion?" Someone suddenly asked in the distance.

     

    "Sir?" Several minor officials looked at each other, "I'm checking things here."

    "What to check?"

    Zhou Heshuo ordered to suppress the news, who would dare to disclose these small officials? He faltered and said that it was the prince's order. As soon as Wen Guzhi turned his hand, he took out the prince's token and shook it in front of them: "This is also the prince's order, the lady in the general's residence is not in a good shape, so I asked the maid to help me quickly, otherwise no one will be in trouble. Can't afford it."

    Speaking, pull the frost out.

    If he was granted amnesty, Shuangjiang followed him out and saluted him: "Thank you sir."

    "Thank you for what? This is really what your wife ordered." Wen Guzhi said as he walked, "I don't know what happened, the guards suddenly surrounded people and refused to let them go, and my wife said that her stomach was uncomfortable. , the third master went to the prince, so you and Mrs.-in-law should go back to the mansion first."

    Hua Yue reacted very quickly, Shuang Jiang wiped the cold sweat on her forehead and let out a long breath.

      in front of.

    Father pale, Zhou Heshuo knelt down with the tea shards: "Father, please calm down!"

    At first, I heard so many people rush to praise the prince and say that the prince's achievements, his emperor was a little unhappy that others were sleeping soundly on his couch, and now such a big thing happened, he actually wanted to leave Longyan at the end Furious to know.

    The emperor deeply felt that he was too fond of this prince, making him arrogant and arrogant.

    "The dereliction of duty by the guards is not one day or two days. I want to give you a chance, but you are not the material. Hand over the name of the guards." The emperor said solemnly.

    Zhou Heshuo was shocked and pale, but under the anger of the emperor, he didn't dare to do any more disobedient things, and hurriedly asked people to bring up the military talisman.

    The emperor threw it to Li Jingyun.

    "Your Majesty, this—" Li Jingyun knelt down, his face full of anxiety.

    The ministers standing next to him all understood that to give Li Jingyun is to save face for the prince. After all, they are two people who have a deep friendship.

    Zhou Heshuo was heartbroken, but he knew what it meant, so he lowered his head and said nothing. Li Jingyun looked around and thanked him embarrassedly.

    Out of the imperial study, Zhou Heshuo didn't blame him, but he was in a really bad mood, so he left with the hand of the palace servant.

    No matter how you fight for power and profit in the court, military power is more important than any fat. The stock forces finally showed signs of decline.

    At the same time, Li Jingyunqing is better than the blue, holding the military power of Jinghua, he gave Li Shoutian a face, and the people around him followed suit, even Su Miao was here. Ask her to help talk about the matchmaker, what kind of concubine does Hu Li Dadu want?

    Su Miao pinched a bunch of portraits and looked at them one by one, and said with joy: "What are they, they want to enter my cousin's yard."

    Shen Zhiluo squinted at her: "What kind of heavenly person is your cousin, and mortals are not worthy of it?"

    "That's not what you mean." Su Miao smiled and leaned over, "Look, this girl is fatter than you and me combined, is she trying to go into the yard and crush my cousin to death?"

     

    Generally, men in the main room would take a concubine to accompany them temporarily, but Su Miao felt that this behavior was shameless, she pouted her mouth, and she almost pouted into the room Liang: "My aunt's filial piety hasn't passed, and he can't even think about it."

    After thinking about it, she asked again: "If I was pregnant, would you take a concubine too?"

    Glancing at her, Shen Zhiluo didn't answer.

    I feel this way about others, and of course I think so too, Su Miao became depressed and touched her stomach.

    She doesn't seem to be worried about this stubble, for so long, her stomach has not moved.

    Shen Zhiluo doesn't like to be close to her recently. He talks with people secretly during the day and rests in the study at night. Several times she came to sleep with the quilt with a cheeky face, but he didn’t pay much attention to him. Once she couldn’t help but ask him if there was someone outside, but the person said freely: “Go and catch you, I caught you. Write me a leave of absence."

    Su Miao was going to be annoyed, but there was nothing she could do.

    It was really boring, she left Shen Zhiluo and went out to Qifeng Tower.

    Chaoli has been quite turbulent recently. Li Jingyun was discussing matters with Liu Cheng and them in Qifeng Building. When he saw her, he raised his eyebrows: "What kind of resentful woman are you?"

    Sit down in front of him in frustration, Su Miao asked, "What happened to Shen Zhiluo recently? He always ignores me."

    "It's just right, I just wanted to talk to you." Li Jingyun said, "While it's still early, do you want to write him a letter of divorce?"

    Su Miao jumped up immediately, stepped on the stool and performed a tiger downhill pose: "Is he really someone outside?"

    What's the mess? Li Jingyun looked at her with the look of a fool, and Liu Chenghe next to her explained to her in a low voice: "Your good husband has contacted a lot of the old Wei Dynasty, and is fighting for the fifth prince and the prince for the opportunity to parade in the spring next year, and the fire is burning. Wang, your cousin is afraid of burning you, so let you get out first."

    Calm down, Su Miao puzzled: "What's the matter with the fifth prince here? Shen Zhiluo and him have not met much?"

    "It happened to hold the fifth prince with the title of prince, and he is the most promising other than the prince in the court." Li Jingyun said, "They just want a puppet, but it happens that the fifth prince is young. , I haven't learned these intrigue yet."

    Thinking of Zhou Hemin she saw at the banquet that day, Su Miao wanted to say that she didn't look like a fool, but before she could say it, Li Jingyun said, "Anyway, your husband wants to pull me. It is impossible for the General's mansion to swim together in the muddy waters, so give him a letter of divorce."

    "It makes sense." Su Miao nodded, "Nothing can harm the general's house."

    Liu Chenghe pointed at her with relief and said to Li Jingyun: "Third Master, are you still worried? Look at how much Miss Biao puts the overall situation first."

    "I haven't finished speaking yet." Su Miao clapped her hands, "Since I can't get involved, why don't I make some noise, Cousin, if you make more noise, let the whole Jinghua know that I am a white-eyed wolf, Be ungrateful, betray the General's Mansion, and from now on have a clean break with the General's Mansion and no longer have anything to do with it."

    One did not stand firm, Liu Chenghe staggered.

    Li Jingyun expected it in advance, so he just snorted and said, "I don't want to die? Your marriage was pointed to by the prince, so I pointed to you to maintain the relationship between the East Palace and the General's Mansion."

    "It won't lose my life." Su Miao squinted and smiled, "He will protect me."

    Shen Zhiluo? Li Jingyun looked at his stupid cousin with a complicated expression, half of Beijing knew that Shen Zhiluo treated his new wife badly, so she was still so stubborn.
