Great Qin had a prosperous age

Chapter 539 Family Banquet (Don’t miss it, be careful to delete it)

The Queen Mother and the Empress had a small exchange of words in gentle tones, just like morning glories and roses competing in a flower garden, with smiles on their lips, extremely gentle.

Fusu watched the two of them talking to each other about trivial matters, but they were endlessly interested in such meaningless and nutritious topics.

Fusu had no choice but to interrupt:
"Let's just hold a family banquet today and summon Yao to come over."

The Queen Mother was startled after hearing this.Milan looked at Fusu, and she suddenly remembered her old friend again.

"The Ai family has attended this Xianyang Palace family banquet three times in total in this life. The first time was hosted by the Queen Mother Huayang; the second time was hosted by the late Emperor; and the third time was hosted by His Majesty."

"If your mother likes this banquet, you can hold more banquets in the palace. If I have time, I will come over and have dinner with you."

The Queen Mother smiled slightly and nodded.

"Dinner hasn't arrived yet, let's play some music first."

With singing and dancing, the banquet became what it should be.All of a sudden, pipes and flutes were playing in the hall, and all the girls, dressed in tulle, came out to dance.

The pace of life in ancient times was slow, and what was naturally popular in the palace was light singing and dancing, which were beautiful and moving.

Rows of shengs and flutes sounded in unison, but it seemed like snowflakes falling on the tiles. The music of the piano added to the fun, but it also seemed like cracks in the ice cracking in winter.

It's just that today's song and dance, the most outstanding thing is this Chu tune. As soon as the song comes out, a wave of Jiang Tian's openness immediately rushes from all directions.

These singers are not simple.

When the queen heard this, she felt as if someone had stuffed cotton in her ears.

"If Your Majesty likes these singing girls, the Aijia will give these singing girls to Your Majesty."

"I don't know where these singing girls come from. Although my mother is from Chu, I have never heard such wonderful Chu tunes before."

"These are all sent by Mrs. Yu's family members. Your Majesty may have forgotten that he had met several members of the Yu family before."

"I have not forgotten that my mother, I, and the Yu clan went together to perform the fish-cutting ceremony. According to my mother, they were very attentive to Mrs. Yu."

It is true that the Queen Mother is from Chu country, but her hand is longer than Fusu's.

"If it weren't for Mother, how could my Jiang Ji be named the old Chu family like Yu? What a pure little white flower, when she came to Mother, she became less obedient than before. Mother is In Gaoquan Palace, you should enjoy your family happiness."

"The Ai family is the queen mother of the world. If the world is not stable, how can the Ai family live in peace and contentment in the harem?"

The queen listened with surprise on her face.

She had never thought that the Queen Mother had such ambitions as having the world in mind!Why did she feel in awe when she spoke today?

When Wang Lin looked at Fusu's expression again, the emperor was indeed sullen.

"Mother, I know that my mother is worried about the world for Your Majesty, but I am a woman after all. Your Majesty has so many civil servants and generals in the previous dynasty. With the Meng brothers, the empire will be as stable as Mount Tai."

The Queen Mother smiled:

"It's rare for the Ai family to see you and your wife raising eyebrows together. That's all, let's pass on the food."

Taichang clapped his hands, and then all the music officials left.

After hearing the Queen Mother's ambition, Fusu's appetite was naturally reduced by half.

After a while, the eunuchs filed in and served delicacies.

When Young Master Yao arrived, the Queen Mother saw a smile on his lips and wrinkles on his cheeks.

"The Ai family heard that His Majesty is going to give Yao a canonization ceremony."

"Zong Zheng has been asked to choose a date. This matter cannot be delayed any longer."

The smile in the Queen Mother's eyes slowly faded, and she could only suppress the many worries in her heart.

Everyone present knew very well that the eldest son was not the most outstanding existence in this palace.Mrs. Shuanghua's son, he is a rookie in the palace, and his limelight far surpasses that of Young Master Yao.

A prince who is frequently discussed behind his back and compared to a concubine will undoubtedly have to withstand more tests.

Yao obediently entered the table, surrounded by relatives, but he was much more distant and indifferent than usual. It even made Young Master Yao feel that it was extremely cold in Gaoquan Palace today.

After a while, the banquet was served.

The banquet that Fusu despised ten years ago, Fusu naturally still despises it ten years later.

The small bell rang over the meat cooked in the cauldron behind.

In the pre-Qin era, most food was cooked by steaming, and the food utensils in noble houses were mostly made of bronze, and the food was cooked in various large cauldrons.

What later generations considered precious ritual vessels were nothing more than basic eating and cooking utensils at that time.Dading was originally a large cooking pot, used to cook a whole fat sheep; or use other large utensils to roast half a leg of beef.

Even though there were only a few dishes of meat soup and braised food at this banquet, it was already the best resource at that time.

But Fusu has already seen this era. The families of the officials and common people still eat wild vegetables and drink porridge to survive.

Fusu naturally couldn't help but ask himself, you've been here for ten fucking years, and you've only done a few major things to improve people's living standards.

Thinking this way, the emperor's appetite decreased by another quarter.

However, today is a family dinner, and there is no need for Fusu to drag two women to talk about these things at this time.

Don't worry, everything will be on track soon.

Fusu thought again and again, but picked up the wine baron to toast the Queen Mother.

"Today's family banquet, I want to thank my mother. I am away from home this time, thanks to your mother's good offices."

The Queen Mother was uncomfortable at first, but when he heard the emperor say this, he naturally felt that the emperor still had some conscience.

"Your Majesty is the only son of the Ai family. If the Ai family doesn't think about your Majesty, who else can they think about?"

The two of them talked and drank together.

"This second cup of wine is for me to honor the Queen."

Wang Lin heard it, as if she had just woken up from a dream, and was so lost that she didn't know what to do.

"I hope that the empress will also be of the same heart and mind with me in the future, to be a model for the people of the world, and to set an example for the world."

The queen was overjoyed, her face flushed with burgundy color, and she naturally raised her head to have a drink.

The wine at today's banquet was Qin's unique white wine, a fine wine in the palace. In addition, the queen was in a good mood today, so she drank too much and ended up drunk after a family banquet.

However, this was in line with the wishes of the Queen Mother and the Emperor, who had something to say in private.

"Send the queen and prince back to the palace."

All the wine, meat and drinking utensils at the family banquet were torn off, and the Queen Mother's face was flushed.

"The Ai family has been dreaming about this day, dreaming that you will inherit the throne of Qin, even if the cost is the destruction of Chu."

"I have always known my mother's feelings towards me."

Seeing that the Queen Mother was dizzy, Fusu had no choice but to go up and help the Queen Mother himself.

"I will help my mother to rest on the couch for a while."

After walking a few steps, the queen mother suddenly felt sober again.

"You canonized the crown prince with great fanfare as soon as you came back. It can be said that you have slapped the veterans in the face. They will not give up so easily."

"I have already thought of a countermeasure."

The Queen Mother sat on the collapse and asked Fusu solemnly:

"Is the canonization of the crown prince too hasty? The Ai family originally thought that the establishment of an heir was just a temporary deal between you and the late Wang Xiang."

"It is not an expedient measure. The former king had great foresight, otherwise he would not have made all the Wang family swear loyalty to me."

"Which one is more loyal, the Wang family or the Meng family?"

"The Wang family is loyal to me, and the Meng family is loyal to the empire."

"Is there any difference?"

"If I were not the one who succeeded to the throne now, the Wang family would definitely retire, but the Meng family would not. The Meng family is indeed fiercely loyal, but these two brothers are both men of integrity. When encountering major events, they will make choices that are beneficial to the empire. .”

Mi Lan listened and just nodded.

"This prince was worshiped too hastily. You know better than anyone else why the late emperor first appointed the prince and then the queen. In fact, my position as queen itself is irrelevant. A country cannot be without a king, but it cannot be without a queen."

"The eighteen sons of the late emperor naturally want to choose someone who can inherit the throne. I was an unqualified successor in the eyes of the late emperor."

The Queen Mother naturally laughed after hearing this.

"Yao is only a 14-year-old child, how do you know, he will definitely be able to provoke such courage in the future."

"As the eldest son, you have to choose if you can't choose."

"You have put him in a chess game. As the prince, he is the one who controls the Wang family. Does he understand your intention?"

Fusu looked troubled.

"I don't know."

The emperor sat for a while and wanted to get up and leave.

"I want to take my leave now."

"Wait a minute - what does your Majesty plan to do with the Prime Minister?"

"Mother is planning to protect him?"

"Feng Quji died, but the Feng family is still there. Marquis Wu Xin is still here, and with his prestige in Xianyang City..."

"I understand. Feng also started his career through military exploits. He looks like a martingale, but in reality he doesn't agree with me."

"The Feng family is no worse than the Wang family. Instead of uniting with the Wang family, it is better to win over the Feng family."

"But the Feng family is too arrogant, like a fierce horse, which I find difficult to control. In contrast, most of the Wang family members are gentle in temperament."

"You value people being honest and trustworthy. You should know that you should trust people when you hire them, and don't use people when you doubt them."

"One moment, another moment. I have not established any great achievements in the world. The courtiers all over the world only decided whether to be loyal to me or not by looking at Feng Quji's face."

"Then do you think, except for Feng Quji, other ministers will show respect to you today for the sake of a moment of anger?"

"I have other plans."

"Although the Meng family is well-known, they are not good at winning people's hearts. If you get rid of the Feng family, the court will lose peace. The Meng family is dominant, and the officials will be even more dissatisfied."

"I still have many trump cards in my hand."

"In that case, the Ai family won't say anything more. However, since you want to get rid of it, you must be ruthless. Since you want to be ruthless, you shouldn't rush to take action at this juncture, but you will lose. The demeanor of an emperor.”

"Why are you so sure, Mother, that I want to get rid of the Prime Minister?"

"This Feng Quji is actually on the same level as Li Si. If you can't tolerate Li Si, naturally you can't tolerate Feng Quji. Sometimes, villains may not succeed, but they often ruin big things. The prime minister has broken your right-hand man. , how could you let him go so easily, but you still have to be careful that Feng Quji can't sit still and takes action first."

After Fusu heard this, it was as if he had been enlightened. Feng Quji, an old snapping turtle, seemed to move slowly, but he could kill a snake with one mouthful, and swallowed the snake like a spicy stick...

"I'm tired, I'm going back to the bedroom first."

On the way back to Yigong, Fusu's mind was filled with what the Queen Mother said before the banquet. The world was not stable, and she was also uneasy.

It can be seen that her mother wants to make a big difference.The weather gradually cooled down at night, Fusu looked at the stars in the sky, blew on the air, his mood gradually improved, and then his stomach started to growl again.

It was said to be a family dinner, but as the host, he didn't even have enough food...

Not far after leaving Gaoquan Palace, Fusu met Jiang Ji again. This time she brought a little girl with pink makeup and jade.

"Father—"

Seeing his female goose from a distance, Fusu's bad mood completely dissipated.

"I pay my respects to Your Majesty. Just now, Banxia heard that His Majesty had returned to the palace and was clamoring to see Your Majesty, so I had no choice but to bring the princess here."

Fusu watched Jiang Xi change into a pink gauze skirt, which made her look even more delicate. Furthermore, looking at the beauty under the lamp, she was even more beautiful than usual. Fusu couldn't help but feel distracted and a little hot.

"I won't go back to Wangyi Palace. I will go to your place tonight."

"only."

Jiang Xi was ecstatic in her heart, with a blush on her face.

When the three of them arrived at Jiangxi's residence, the place was all built in accordance with the regulations of the palaces of the Chu State. As soon as they entered, there was a water pavilion, which was indeed cooler than the Wangyi Palace in Fusu.

The little princess didn't seem to have a strong sense of existence. She was carried all the way back by the emperor and fell asleep. Under the shadowy light, a beautiful little life had already fallen asleep. The sound of even breathing made Fusu feel like she was in a fairyland.

Fusu was lying on the couch, and I went home.

Sitting beside the emperor, Jiang Xi watched the emperor in a daze for a while, and then ordered the wet nurse to take the princess down to rest.

"I'm hungry. Do you have anything to eat?"

There wasn't a single flaw on Jiang Xi's clean and fair face, and her big, innocent eyes were full of doubts.

Didn’t Your Majesty enjoy the banquet with the Queen Mother and the Empress?

"Of course. I don't know what your Majesty would like to eat. I will cook for your Majesty myself."

The second generation picked up Jiang Xi's thin waist and pulled Jiang Xi into his arms.Jiang Xi's waistband has been opened and his clothes are spread out.

When all the palace maids saw it, they all blushed and retreated.

"His Majesty--"

In the magnificent hall.

Not long after, the air was filled with the smell of lust, making people addicted to it.

(I’m showing off my shame! I’m finally driving! It’s Chinese New Year, let’s eat meat for everyone)
