The world is heavy and late

Chapter 116 Banquet ([-])

The two looked at the emperor. After the emperor drank the cup, the joy in his heart was eager to share with others. He turned his head and saw Gu Weiyun staring at him in a daze. His eyes were full of reverence and admiration. The emperor smiled complacently.

He felt that the uneasiness before tonight disappeared instantly, and only pride was left in his heart. The emperor should be worthy of a beauty.

While Gu Weiyun was in a daze, he directly took Gu Weiyun's hand and said: "Your concubine has worked hard, I am very satisfied with this arrangement."

After speaking, she pulled Gu Weiyun to walk towards her seat, Gu Weiyun was still a little dazed, her heart beat uncontrollably, the whole wise and powerful man in front of her really made her fascinated.

When the emperor pulled Gu Weiyun to sit beside him, Gu Weiyun quietly came to his senses and realized where he was sitting, and immediately wanted to withdraw his hand and get up, but the emperor held his hand and gave him a quiet glance.

The emperor also quietly came over and said: "Sit with peace of mind and accompany me, I miss you very much."

Gu Weiyun's face was a little red, the emperor chuckled a little narrowly, turned his head and said to the actor who was still kneeling: "This music is wonderful, I am very happy, appreciate it."

The atmosphere in the arena was full of joy, but Wang seemed a little absent-minded. Xia Qing watched the palace servants in the arena disappear by nearly half, and saw Hu Si nodded to her with an ugly face. It has also become very dangerous.

But she didn't say anything. Xia Qing had been waiting, and she told herself not to rush.

Finally, after waiting for the familiar servant to come in quietly and nod to her, she breathed a sigh of relief.

She nodded to Aunt Qiu, then patted Gu Weiyun on the shoulder, bowed and said, "I'm going to walk away for a while, you should be careful."

Gu Weiyun didn't look back, she was under the watchful eyes of everyone, she couldn't make any mistakes in her demeanor, she just nodded slightly.

Few people noticed Xia Qing's departure, only the people around Gu Weiyun and Cui Shi who had been staring at her, but the emperor had been paying attention to Gu Weiyun and naturally saw Xia Qing's departure.

Now Gu Weiyun has returned to her original smiling appearance, but the emperor is not so irritable anymore, thinking in his heart: This woman loves me so much, I can coax her reluctantly.

Yes, at this time, the wise and mighty Emperor Chengming was thinking about how to please the women around him. Just now, Gu Weiyun's admiring and reverent eyes gave him great satisfaction and joy.

Therefore, the emperor wanted to go to Gu Weiyun's side and take the initiative to find something to talk about. He said, "How did the one next to you go? But what happened?"

Gu Weiyun was worried about Xia Qing at first, but now that he heard the emperor's words and recalled the previous events, Gu Weiyun glanced at the emperor and said: "I don't know, Xia Qing teaches the ministers and concubines to raise their babies well, don't think about it."

Emperor: …… Listen, how come it feels like I won’t let you raise your baby properly.

But the emperor said with a shy face at this time: "She is right, you have to take good care of your baby, but don't get tired."

Gu Weiyun still had the emperor's familiar smirk on his face and said, "I thank you, Your Majesty, for your concern."

The emperor choked for a moment, but for some reason, he was no longer as anxious as before. Under the desk, he tightly held Gu Weiyun's hand that was about to break free, and even held both hands together.

But the emperor didn't forget the business. He was not only proud but also very satisfied. He felt that Xia Qing was really useful, and he even created the opportunity he had been looking for.

So he looked at Wang Shi with unclear eyes and said, "Concubine Shu."

The courtiers and the Wang family below were all startled, why was the emperor suddenly calling him by name now?
But Concubine Shu still supported Aunt Wang who was next to her to stand up and said, "Your Majesty."

She had an intuition that it would not be a good thing, but she felt that the emperor would not bring the affairs of the harem to the court, because sometimes His Majesty is shameless, but at the same time he also loves face.

The emperor glanced at the quiet concubine Shu and said calmly: "This time, I would like to thank you, the Wang family. I thought An Dalang was very important, and I was about to send someone to pick him up, but I didn't expect that the Wang family would take the initiative to send him back to Beijing. Saved me an errand."

After speaking, without waiting for others to ask, he turned his head to the ministers and said, "This new wheat seed is thanks to An Dalang. If the common people use this kind of wheat seed, An Dalang's merits will be immeasurable."

Some ministers didn't feel anything, but some ministers knew the elegant meaning after hearing the strings, such as Zhang Zhi and Cao Xiu.

Both of them raised their glasses together and said: "Congratulations to Your Majesty for being such a talented person. The Wang family is truly a noble family, loyal and loyal."

Wang's face was not very good-looking, after all this, the matter was finally settled, and he couldn't even say a word.

Can I refute that I don't know?So what do the ministers of the court think?Where is the face of their royal family?But are the father and the patriarch really willing to send people over?

If they wanted to, why did they take the person away in advance? Isn't it so that even if the emperor finds out about these things in the future, he can earn the reputation of the people all over the world. Isn't it easy for the emperor to ask for someone?

But when he said it at this moment, it was as if the emperor found a talent and the Wang family rushed to escort him.

If you don't give it away, wouldn't you be deceiving the king?
The emperor looked at Wang whose expression changed for a moment, picked up the wine glass and said calmly: "Why, is Concubine Shu feeling unwell?"

Concubine Shu listened to the emperor's plain words, but she didn't know why she suddenly felt cold behind her back. She raised her head and glanced at the emperor, but the emperor just looked over lightly. Both are slightly bent.

With a pale face, she said: "To be loyal to His Majesty is what courtiers and concubines should do."

The emperor looked at Concubine Shu and smiled, but that smile made Concubine Shu break out in a lot of cold sweat.

All of a sudden, everyone was praising the Wang family, but the emperor laughed, that's all, I want to see if you, the Cui family and the Yang family can still sit still, the more you praise now, the more you fall when something happens. awful.

I want to use people to blackmail me, let me act according to your face, and I want to gain fame in the world, and I also want to see if your royal family is worthy.

The emperor, who was waiting for a good show, felt that this Mid-Autumn Festival banquet was the most sympathetic to him in so many years.

Zhang Zhi and his wife who went home at night were also thinking about it.

Zhang Zhi didn't open his mouth, but he felt that there is a difference between having a harem and having no one. After today is over, the world will know that the emperor has discovered a new wheat seed. The reputation of the wheat seed has spread, and the reputation of His Majesty has also spread. Yes, the matter of wheat seeding will naturally be smoother.

Secondly, through the reputation of the wheat seed, everyone in the world knows that An Dalang is in the hands of the Wang family, and the Wang family has to give it away whether it is a gift or not. It is much more attractive than the emperor's own decree.

It is really what the emperor wants to do, and the stage is set up.

The wife of the Zhang family didn't think about this, so she just said to Zhang Zhi: "I think this year's Mid-Autumn Festival banquet is much more intimate than previous years. When we first entered the palace, someone led some of our acquaintances to sit together. In the past, wait for a long time."

Zhang Zhi said, "Now there are people in the palace making decisions, so of course it's different."

The wife of the Zhang family cast a sidelong glance at Zhang Zhi and said, "Don't tell me you're not sad, old man. Even the late emperor was never so considerate. The soup that came up today was still hot, and the palace man who led the way was as nice as you are." It was different in the past, some people who were mentally ill didn’t need to find someone to talk to, someone stepped forward and helped them go elsewhere.”

Zhang Zhi was stared at by his wife, put his arms around his chest, stared back angrily, and said, "This is your wife's business, why should I follow?"

Furious, Mrs. Zhang fell backwards, stretched out her hand vigorously to pinch Zhang Zhi's waist and turned around, Zhang Zhi quickly turned sideways and begged for mercy: "Ma'am, Ma'am, I made a mistake for my husband."

Only then did Mrs. Zhang feel a little calmer, and then said: "Hmph, don't believe me, you old man, I see His Majesty's appearance, that imperial concubine will be the queen sooner or later."

Zhang Zhi thought for a while and said: "According to Madam, this noble concubine is quite capable, and she understands His Majesty's wishes, so it is suitable to be a queen."

Mrs. Zhang said: "Not only is she capable, my wife, I have been working in the back house for so many years, and it seems that only aristocratic family management can be on par with her."

Zhang Zhi was really surprised, and said, "It's really that good?"

Mrs. Zhang gave Zhang Zhi a contemptuous look before she said: "Anyway, my old lady thinks that even a family daughter like Concubine Shu can't do better than this."
