Chapter 92 The Pride of Heaven
In the winter of the second year of Tianyou, the snow in Chang'an City was abundant and beautiful.As the sky was getting dark, hundreds of red lanterns were hung up in the Palace of King Yan, illuminating the entire palace with joy.

Taking advantage of no one's attention, Chen Liu straightened his helmet at the gate, so as not to be reprimanded by the sharp-eyed nanny.

Today, the princess hosted a banquet to entertain all the meritorious wives.

Since the evening, luxury carriages of various colors have arrived one after another, blocking the entrance of King Yan's mansion. Fortunately, the nuns and stewards arranged well, and quickly arranged for these nobles and their servants.

At this time, the sky was getting dark and the sky was covered by thick clouds. The snow particles that were originally as small as salt suddenly became the size of catkins in the wind roar, and finally connected with the entire sky, as if they were going to submerge the entire Chang'an city. down.Hanyue was also afraid of its menacing approach, and consciously shrank to the horizon.

After nightfall, the blizzard became more violent, and the bitter cold wind frequently penetrated into the armor, and his cheeks and nose were freezing. , ready to dress up, had no choice but to endure the piercing chill and stand upright on the spot.

The snow is as big as a goose feather, but the strong wind blows them up again and again.After a while, only the white snow remained in the field of vision, and the black and low sky disappeared, and only arcs formed by falling snow were seen in all directions.The wind stubbornly whipped up snowflakes, and the left and right sides were all white and gray, and even the color could not be seen.

In such a heavy snow, it would be great if I could lie on the hot kang and hug a woman and drink a pot of wine.

Chen Liu was thinking happily in bitterness.

He was transferred back to the capital from the border only this year.When he got the transfer order, he made all his colleagues red-eyed, but when he arrived in the beautiful capital, he realized that there are many opportunities for the emperor to get ahead, but the troubles are also doubled.The streets are full of proud people with long sleeves, full of arrogance, even if they are rushing to have a drink, if there is no leader to lead them, they will not escape the ridicule of those turtle slaves.

But coming here, Chen Liu did see a lot of things in the world.Beijing officials walk all over the place, county officials are not as good as dogs, and any horse stopped in the capital may be the seventh aunt or eight aunt of some Lord Hou.

Aside from other things, Princess Yan hosted a banquet for her meritorious wife today, and the screen was full of flowers.At the beginning, I was able to ask the veterans beside me about their identities, but gradually, they were confused, and even the veterans felt that they were extravagant and hesitated.

Chen Liu knew that the old soldier was trying to put him off, but he didn't dare to express his complaints.

Standing in the cold wind for a long time, shivering all over, wishing to go back to the barracks to warm up the fire immediately, but the nurse and stewards were still waiting eagerly with smiles on their faces, Chen Liu couldn't help wondering, what kind of honor should this belated guest be?
jingle--

jingle--

In the blizzard that swept across the sky, there was a bell sounding like the sounds of nature.

Hearing the ringtone at first, Chen Liu thought that he had been in the cold for too long and had auditory hallucinations.Who would have thought that the ringing of the bell would be continuous, he used the method taught by the little commander to sneak a glance at the stewards waiting in front of the Zhumen, seeing their brows showing joy, arranging their clothes and temples, he knew it was the charming guest. up.

Sure enough, within a few breaths, there was a sound of horseshoes.

Chen Liunai was born in the army, he heard the sound of the horse's hooves without hesitation, and knew that it was a good horse from Dawan.Sure enough, the wind and snow thinned, and the riders appeared. They were white horses of the same color without a single hair on their bodies. He is a high-ranking official of the imperial court, and no one will not believe him.

But they are just servants of the way.

After more than a dozen handsome horses leading the way, eight rare Yezhao jade lion horses dragged a seemingly low-key but extremely luxurious chariot slowly back and forth. With picturesque features, rich clothes and brocade clothes, elegant and luxurious, not inferior to the meritorious ladies that Chen Liufang had just met.

But they are really just driving people.

There were eight guards with knives standing beside the car. Seeing them standing silently like pottery figurines, Chen Liu knew that they were all outstanding figures on the battlefield.

Even in today's Heijia camp, such talents are not easy to come by.

It's a pity that they are only one of the guards of the people in the car.

Who is in the car?
Even the commander of Prince Yan's mansion, who thought he had seen the world, couldn't help but stare at each other at this moment.

As for Chen Liu, an out-and-out country bumpkin, he could only hold his breath and stare at the car curtain for a long time.

The crisp bells that came through the wind and snow just now came from the carriage, and dozens of jade bells were hung under the black wood eaves emitting a faint fragrance.The whole body of the bell is pure white without a trace of blemish. If you meet someone who knows the goods, you will be surprised. This is a Jade Buddha bell, with scriptures engraved on the inside and outside, and blessed by eminent monks.

At this moment, the carriage had stopped, and the two men in white got out of the carriage carefully, pulled out a red sandalwood box engraved with peonies all over the body, and pulled it into three steps, and then carefully opened the luxurious and soft curtain .

The curtain was soft and beautiful, and the moment it was lifted, not to mention the servants accompanying the carriage, even the stewards of Prince Yan's mansion, who had always looked up to the sky, all showed respectful expressions.

The dignity of the people in the car can be seen.

Chen Liushouli knelt down on one knee, with his head lowered, but he couldn't help peeking curiously.

He saw a hand, a weak and boneless hand with slender fingers, and then a shoe, a brocade shoe filled with rice pearls, and after that, a piece of silk brocade slipped out, with intricate and lifelike decorations.

Just as he was about to concentrate on watching again, it was the nuns rushing up with umbrellas, and the dark red brocade sarong blocked his sight.

They saluted respectfully, covered the snow for that person, and said, "Si Niangzi is here."

So Chen Liu heard a very pleasant voice.

"Today, the wind and snow were too heavy, and the road was delayed for a while, and the hardworking mothers were cold."

The tone is soft, but there is a sense of nobility flowing out naturally, flowing into Chen Liu's ears, he only feels that after eating ginseng fruit, the 800 million pores in his body are comfortable.

It's a pity that he couldn't help being intoxicated, a nobleman is a nobleman after all, after a few questions and answers, surrounded by nuns, he entered the gate of the mansion.

The rich door gradually closed, and Chen Liu greedily sniffed the cold air tainted with the faint fragrance of beauty.

……

……

The charcoal fire in the Nuan Pavilion was burning vigorously, and as soon as I set foot on it, I felt a burst of sweat.

Today Princess Yan is the host, and when Lici arrives, there will be a lot of guests, but she unhurriedly unwrapped the whole Northeast White Bear King fur cloak given by the emperor under the service of the female officer, and took off the hibiscus and crane pattern in light silver. The gray fur coat with heavy brocade surface reveals the rouge-colored underskirt of a golden peony show with hundreds of flowers and butterflies. The elegant silk is embroidered with colorful silk threads into red gold peonies and colorful butterflies. The stamens are decorated with crystal and round beads. , such as spring water flooding.

Then, under the service of the palace servants, he walked forward slowly, and bowed to Princess Yan Yingying: "Lici encountered wind and snow on the road, and she was late. I hope the princess will forgive me."

Concubine Yan has a bright personality, and she also likes Lici from the bottom of her heart. Seeing that she braved the wind and snow to come to the banquet, how could she blame her?

Li Ci then raised his head, thanked him, and gracefully walked to the second row to the left of the princess under Feng Yi's guidance, sat upright, wrapped his fingers around the Buddha's bone bracelet, and silently recited the Buddha's gatha.

All the wives saw her majestic temples, jewels and jade, and brocade clothes with big sleeves, luxuriant and shining. They didn't want to go through this series of movements, not to mention the corners of the clothes and the ends of the hair. Admiration: As expected... This whole body style is indeed beyond the imitation of ordinary sects.

There happened to be a woman who was dependent on the family of Princess Wei, but she was new here, but she thought she was noble and mighty.Seeing that Princess Yan was so polite to the concubine of the Fu family, she suddenly felt that the concubine was soft-tempered, and said bitterly: "The Fu family is really hot, how dare you send a concubine to take care of Princess Yan's banquet!?"

Princess Yan's complexion darkened when she heard the words, and she was about to explode, but Li Ci stopped counting beads, got up, and smiled at the man who uttered wild words: "Mrs. concubine."

Those who know some hidden things in the palace tremble when they hear the words.

But Mrs. Li was ignorant and ignorant, she didn't hear the implication of Li Ci's words, but she saw that the guests around her were avoiding her, and she was still curious.On the contrary, Li Ci gently supported the five-bat-ringed pearl Ruyi red gold hollow hairpin on the tip of her hair, and said: "If you feel that sharing the same table with a concubine will taint your status, then I can only invite you out."

After finishing speaking, the two Baolins turned out from behind the screen, bowed to Li Ci, and then walked to Mrs. Li's side, and invited the woman who spoke so loudly to come out!
After the episode was over, Li Ci took a look at Princess Yan and got her to nod her head, so he raised his glass and said, "The honor and privileges of the Fu family are bestowed by His Majesty. If anyone here sees that my concubine is not going well, feel free to do so." with her!"

After speaking, he sat down, and the banquet was silent for a while.

Originally, he was a little ignorant about the status of the Fu family, but he woke up immediately.

The Fu family was originally a well-known family in the north, and they always prided themselves on their cleanliness, and never formed cliques for personal gain.In the fifth year of Chengshi, when the rebellious king rebelled, Fu Lanshi wrote a letter of rebellion angrily. It is an honor to worship under the Fu family.

In the first year of God's Blessing, to bring order out of chaos, he was given the posthumous title of Wen Zhong Wu Su in addition to being awarded the title of Minister!
Military officers are no better than civil servants, and their posthumous titles are often low. If a military general can posthumously with words, it will be more honor than honor.Now Wen Zhongwu Su is treated with unprecedented courtesy in the entire Xie Dynasty.

What's especially rare is that the ladies and gentlemen of the Fu family are also dragons and phoenixes among themselves.

The first lady was the crown prince Liangdi who was hired by the royal family. When she heard that the prince was falsely accused and could not defend herself, she threw herself into Qingchi, where the royal family and the Fu family were all chaste, and she was given the title of Mrs. Ai; Sanlang is quite like a father, She has already been engaged to the daughter of the Jiang family in Taiyuan, and she is only waiting for her to stand up and take the throne after the crowning ceremony. She will be the pillar of the court in the future; the fifth lady from the first line is still young, and the Cui family, the head of the Qinghe sect, has come to her door many times...

It is the most common second wife from a concubine, who is also a daughter from a hundred families, and she dare not propose marriage unless she is a duke's mansion.

But the most talked about is the fourth wife of the Fu family.

It should be noted that even if they are all princes, there are also closeness and coldness. King Wei is among the royal kings, but he is a little stronger than the foil. The ones who are really in full bloom are King Yan, King Liang, and the eldest princess who has not been very important in the past two years.

And the eldest princess is the biological mother of the fourth wife of the Fu family.

But even though it was tacit understanding, it would not be admitted because of the royal face.Therefore, today, when I remember her meritorious service in escorting King Yan out of Beijing, when she licensed the jade makeup car to travel, everyone immediately understood: the honor of the fourth wife of the Fu family, even the direct daughters of the first-class wealthy families can't catch up!

The mere relatives of the concubine's family, who dare to use their power to deny the face of the fourth lady, really want to die!

There was a small wave in the crowd, Li Ci smiled and said nothing.

Seeing that her face was calm, she hurriedly picked up the wine cup with enthusiasm and wanted to make friends with her, but Li Ci was also disrespectful, and she had drunk with a smile on her red lips.And the toasters also knew the identity of the fourth lady of the Fu family, she was willing to accept his wine, which was a great face, how dare they dislike her perfunctory.

While drinking cups and cups, Li Ci always paid attention to Princess Yan.

At present, the Fu family is the only one who looks forward to her; the emperor is polite to her inside and out; the king of Yan takes pity on her for her life and death at a young age, and has taken care of her; In the past two years, I have basically not been involved in political affairs, and I have relied on her in every possible way, and I have been more considerate.

Everyone saw that she was proud of the spring breeze, and the fire was cooking oil, so how could they know the worries after the prosperity.

In the first five years of the coup, although the King of Changsha gave an opportunity when he was about to die, and Li Ci escaped by luck, he also knew too many secrets because of it.

Not to mention what kind of thoughts Jin Shang has for him, whether he really believes that he has nothing to do with the King of Changsha.Just that Liang Wang, who is always making upheavals in the dark, is a sharp sword hanging over Li Ci's head, and he has to guard against it!

When he was still the King of Runan, he was already the great compassion in the eyes of the people in the world. Now he is promoted to the King of Liang, and his family members are even more honored, more and more exquisite, and good at dancing with long sleeves.
