Zhe Jinchun

Chapter 936

"...This plate is also interesting. It was fired naturally. According to His Highness, it was originally a waste kiln, but it turned out to be a rare gem. Look, there are thousands of waves of water flowing on the plate. , from the shallow to the deep, just like flowing, the dragon in the waves curled its tail, it is completely natural..."

The second prince's wife's complacent voice came over, but she was introducing the surprise of the hidden dragon pan, and Qin Su slowly regained her mind.

In the previous life, Huang Baipi had already been transferred to the hands of the second prince and his mother's family. Therefore, this rare hidden dragon plate was naturally passed on to the Zhongyuan Emperor through the hands of the second prince, and became a treasure. A birthday present.

The so-called making the best use of everything, Qin Su thought that it would be most appropriate to put this plate next to Emperor Zhongyuan.And this precious porcelain that brought disaster to the Qin family in the previous life has escaped the bad luck now.

It's a pity that she originally thought that the Feng family of the second prince's mother would know about this treasure in private, and then Qin Su would have another way to explore.But Feng Shi was very conscious, and brought up the plate early in the morning, but Qin Su's plan fell through.

Thinking in her heart, she turned her eyes and smiled, and pursed her lips to look at the princes and wives who were talking lively.

They are all sitting next to her throne in sequence, talking and laughing softly, almost everyone is happy, only the wife of the third prince, Xie Shi, looks indifferent, as if she is a little unhappy.

Qin Su looked at her sideways, and also sighed in her heart.

The house is full of pearls and emeralds, and the temples are full of fragrance, but Xie's is wearing an old green dress. Although the hairpin on her hair is made of suet jade, the head of the water seems to be old and covered with a layer of dust.

At this moment, the bright candlelight illuminated her eyebrows and eyes, and even if she had a lot of makeup, she couldn't hide the vicissitudes on her face. Occasionally, when she looked back or turned her head, there were a few silver threads in her black hair.

"Third sister, don't just sit and don't talk." Liang's voice sounded at the right time, and it was neither persuading nor laughing, but it made people feel at ease. There will be wine for the banquet, let's go and see when the time comes, the Nanqu troupe has performed "Heavenly Palace Celebration" again, and it is said that the little opera can do a dozen or so somersaults in a row."

She talked lively, but Mrs. Xie only nodded to her, the smile on her face was like the wind passing through the water, and disappeared after a while: "The elder sister-in-law of the Pope laughed, but I just forget it. Okay. It’s easy to keep my body healthy, but I can’t sit for a long time, and I’m very tired. After a while, I’m going to take my leave after toasting my father. I don’t care if I don’t listen to the opera wine.”

Her voice was very low, and she half-covered her lips with her sleeves while speaking, except for the female relatives who were close to each other, the princes couldn't hear them.

Liang Shi stopped talking and just smiled at her. Lou Shi and the fourth prince's wife Lu Shi looked at each other, and the eyes of both of them changed.

Qin Su knew that the Xie family and the third prince had truly separated, and now the two husband and wife slept in separate rooms, one lived in the main hall and the other went to Baoxia.It is said that there was some rain leaking in Baoxia years ago, and it has not been repaired so far. Mrs. Xie lived in it, neither complained nor angry, and said nothing, just like a living dead.

Qin Su glanced over, stopped talking, and waited for the banquet to start later.

Not long after, the jade chime sounded, indicating that the auspicious time had come, Emperor Zhongyuan stood up, said a toast, and the birthday banquet officially began.

The real celebration of the birthday of all the officials has already paid homage at the Jingtai Hall at noon today, and now this banquet means that the excitement has really begun, and the next night's opera wine will be another climax.

Qin Su had never participated in the Longevity Banquet in her previous life, but she also felt that everything was new. The peach-shaped pastries and the delicate wine bottles carved like cranes were still her favorite, so eating and drinking was quite enjoyable.

In fact, not only Qin Su, but the princes also had smiles all over their faces. I don't know if it's because His Royal Highness the Crown Prince didn't come, but they looked warmer than before, toasting Emperor Zhongyuan one by one , said the auspicious words for a few baskets, and wished to roll to the ground in front of everyone, to please and behave at the feet of this emperor.

Qin Su looked very different, and felt a little contemptuous in her heart.

These few also pretended to be crazy by drinking, and wanted to find out the bottom line of Emperor Zhongyuan.

In the battle of Surabaya, if the Huan family was defeated, then the position of the crown prince might have to be replaced by someone else.It's no wonder that these princes tried their best to please them, lest they fall behind.

Qin Su frowned slightly, her thoughts kept turning.

It has been more than a month since the army started, but they don't know how the battle in Surabaya is going, whether Huan Zicheng and Xue Yunheng are safe or not?
Her heart sank slowly, Yuzhu paused slightly, staring in thought.

At this moment, a loud communication suddenly came from outside the hall: "Surabaya Urgent Battle Report——"

This sharp whistling sound came from a very far place one by one, and when it reached the gate of the palace, the laughter and chatter in the palace gradually quieted down.

Even though the singing and dancing in the metropolis was peaceful and prosperous, the battle in Surabaya really touched the hearts of too many people. At this time, hearing the news, everyone stopped their drinks in unison and watched with admiration.

Qin Su leisurely put down the jade chips, and swept her eyes down.

It's a pity that everyone was looking in the direction of the palace gate at this time, leaving her with only a large golden and emerald back.

She secretly "tsk" and stared forward.

Xing Yourong had already walked out of the hall in a hurry, and took a gold lacquer tray from the prisoner, on which was a battle report sealed with wax.

Holding the gold plate in his hand, he walked swiftly to the top of the jade steps with quick steps, and presented the battle report to Emperor Zhongyuan himself.

At this time, Emperor Zhongyuan sat up straight, his face became solemn, he didn't call for Zhongchang attendant, he directly picked up the wax paint, unfolded the scroll for a closer look, the expression on his face tightened first, then slowly relaxed again .

The Linhua Hall was so quiet that a needle could be heard, only the occasional sound of "flashing" of the candles added a bit of vitality to the silence.

Jiang Pushe, Du Xiaoqi, Zhou Dushui, Duke Xue and other officials held their breaths and waited for the lingering sound.

After a few breaths, Emperor Zhongyuan lowered his face, threw the battle report on the plate, and said with a flick of his sleeves: "The Huan family's [-] elites will all be wiped out on the chaotic rocky beach outside the Sishui Pass."

For a moment, there was no sound in the hall, even the sound of breathing seemed to disappear.

However, in the next moment, there was an uproar in the hall, Jiang Pushe and other important officials all got up suddenly, and the atmosphere in the hall became tense and anxious.

"Your Majesty, please give us the battle report." Jiang Pushe bowed first.

Emperor Zhongyuan waved his hands lazily, and Xing Yourong took the gold plate to the bottom of the jade steps himself. Jiang Pushe picked up the battle report with trembling hands and read it carefully, his complexion turned pale instantly.
