The emperor always wants to promise himself

Chapter 281 Ah Yu, Long Time No See

Since Junrong ascended the throne, the palace banquet on New Year's Eve has become more lively every year, and it also shows that working hard is getting stronger every year.

The night falls, the moon and stars are rare, and the entire capital is decorated with lanterns and festoons. All kinds of lanterns are hung all over the streets and alleys. Looking from a distance, it is a sea of ​​red.

Red lanterns, red window paper, red velvet flowers on the sideburns of the big girl and the little daughter-in-law... everything I see is full of joy.

In the streets and alleys, people rubbed shoulders, laughing and chatting constantly, and all the stalls were full of people. Some people sat around a table, ate wine and punched their fists. They were sweating profusely, and they opened their mouths to laugh out steam. skyrocketed.

The woman led the children to watch the lanterns and juggling, and the children clapped their hands and applauded without taking their eyes off it.

The old woman selling candied haws in the distance smiled and said: "Selling candied haws——candied haws—"

On the other side, there was a cry of selling: "Wontons! Wontons with thin skin and big stuffing! Hot wontons!"

The noise spread from the street to the end of the alley, and then floated to the gate of the palace. The palace lanterns were hung high, and the carriages and sedan chairs stopped. .

The palace banquet was still set at the Xiefang Hall, and when the officials arrived, Xiao Yu and Jun Rong also came.

After saying a few words on the scene, Jun Rong ordered people to open the banquet, with delicious food and wine, singing and dancing, which was a lively scene.

Xiao Yu sat at the old seat, ate some food and drank a few sips of wine, and then listened to their chat.

The princes stood up in turn to toast Jun Rong, Jun Rong drank it all, and said to them: "Tonight, the concubines will be with you, and then you will be reunited with your mother. It is rare to get together all year round, so please speak carefully. say."

The princes immediately expressed gratitude: "Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Jun Rong waved his hand and told them to sit down, and then his eyes fell on Yong'an Hou who was silent at the bottom, and the smile on his lips faded: "Yong'an Hou——"

There was a sudden silence during the meeting, and everyone looked at the position of Marquis Yong'an. Marquis Yong'an was not very willing. He felt that he was shocked when he heard the title. If he hadn't been impulsive at the beginning, he wouldn't even be able to keep the prince. Fortunately, his life was saved.

Thinking of this, he felt relieved again, stood up and went out to the center of the hall, and knelt down slowly: "I pay my respects to Your Majesty."

After Jun Rongduan sat the case, he looked down at him: "I haven't seen you for a few years, and I seem to have lost weight."

Marquis Yong'an lowered his head, and said in a deep voice: "Wei Chen has been thinking about his mistakes behind closed doors for these years. Every night, he feels mixed feelings, more and more regretful, and can't eat. Now His Majesty is tolerant and let me out. I am very grateful, and I will give you some time in the future. I am always grateful for His Majesty's kindness, so as not to be confused again in the future."

These words were sincere, Xiao Yu glanced at him, then looked at Junrong: "Your Majesty, it seems that Marquis Yong'an has really repented, and in my opinion, let him release his restraint."

Jun Rong's expression was unpredictable, and he didn't speak for a long time. Marquis Yong'an was panicked, and he didn't dare to raise his head.

What he said was not taught by Lu Ying, but he wanted to understand it himself. For three years, he was locked in that small courtyard every day, what else could he not figure out?

Every time he sent people out to inquire about the news, what he heard was either admiration for Junrong or emotion for Xiao Yu. After a long time, even he felt that these two people were very powerful. Looking at his own house, what would he use to fight against them?
If you can't fight, forget it, people live for only a few years, what's the point in fighting to the death?
Marquis Yong'an couldn't hold back, and when he wanted to raise his head, Jun Rong finally spoke out. He is now in the period of changing his voice, and his voice is between clear and deep. When he lowers his voice, it becomes thicker and more majestic: Hou, remember what you said today, I think you have the heart to repent, and the Tai Tuo interceded, so I let you out and relieved your confinement, I hope you always remember your duty and don't do things beyond your regret .”

"Yes, I dare not."

The Marquis of Yong'an kowtowed heavily: "My humble minister, I thank the Lord for your kindness."

Jun Rong raised his hand: "Back off."

"Yes."

Marquis Yong'an stood up and returned to his seat with his head bowed. Several princes looked at the appearance of the third prince who was domineering and fearless back then, sighed and then secretly woke up.

People like that can be trained like this, it's better for them to be honest.

After killing the chickens to warn the monkeys, Jun Rong laughed again: "I respect everyone and love you a cup. This year, the tax revenue of Dagan has tripled compared to last year. The people live and work in peace and contentment, and the country is stable. It is inseparable from the help of the ministers. I am very relieved, and hope that next year all my lovers will continue to join hands with me to create a prosperous future!"

All civil and military officials stood up when they heard the words, raised their wine cups and said to Junrong: "I will serve the emperor and die!"

Junrong smiled heartily: "Okay! Today, I and all my lovers will drink this cup to the brim!"

He raised his head and downed it in one gulp, while Xiao Yu took two sips to express himself. She has an average capacity for alcohol, drinking less can warm her body and improve blood circulation, but if she drinks too much, it will not only cause trouble but also hurt her body.

On the contrary, Jun Rong... Not only has he grown older in recent years, but also his drinking capacity has also increased. Now, he can drink a jar of such moderately concentrated wine without changing his face.

I think this guy was still a three-cup pour back then...

Xiao Yu glanced at Jun Rong, who was at ease, and felt that the hall was a little hot, and wanted to go out to get some air, so he coughed lightly to attract Jun Rong's attention, and then nodded at him.

Jun Rong understood and nodded.

Xiao Yu got up and left the table from behind to leave the Palace of Harvesting Fang.

After going out, the cold air rushed towards his face, Xiao Yu took a deep breath and let it out, Han Yi followed from behind: "Master, what's wrong?"

Xiao Yu shook his head: "No, I just feel a little stuffy inside, the ground dragon is burning hot, and I drank wine again, and the wine is getting stronger, so I will come out to get some air and wake up."

"It's fine if nothing happens, where does the master want to go?"

"Just walk along this corridor."

Xiao Yu leisurely walked forward along the long corridor, feeling a lot clearer, and feeling a little cold from the north wind, she turned around and wanted to go back, but suddenly paused.

There was a man standing under the palace lantern not far away. He stood there for an unknown how long. The candlelight flickered in the wind. The original bright light fell on his moon-white brocade robe, but suddenly he became lonely.

Seeing Xiao Yu looking over, the man moved a bit, as if he wanted to come over, but he didn't take a step, just stood there and looked at her.

However, what he was on was the only way to go back to Xiefang Palace, even if he didn't come, Xiao Yu would still have to go.

Han Yi took half a step forward vigilantly: "Master—"

Xiao Yu raised his hand: "No problem."

She walked over and stood still two steps away: "Why doesn't the Second Highness go in? Are you waiting for me?"

Hua Ye looked at Xiao Yu with tenderness and a little greed in his eyes, and he smiled softly, as beautiful as a glimpse of epiphyllum in the middle of the night.

He said with a sigh in his voice, "Ah Yu, long time no see."
