Chapter 878
Because the king was ill, he could not put up lanterns and festoons in the palace, so he had to decorate the room quietly and put a few pots of flowers that would not wither in winter.In the corridor that welcomes the guests, a row of revolving lanterns is hung.

The revolving horse lantern comes from the ingenious design of Ming craftsmen, and is deeply loved by the Empress Dowager Jingxian.It can be said that Empress Dowager Jingxian is also a great admirer of Ming Dynasty.

The second prince and the third prince all lived in the palace, and after a certain hour, they set off from their own palace.

Before Liansheng was about to get on the sedan chair, he raised his head and looked towards the king's tower not far away.The court ladies and eunuchs who served him didn't know what was going on on his seemingly indifferent face.

The eldest prince arrived at the gate of the palace in a carriage, and the bodyguard for the eldest prince's carriage was Yu Shinan, the eldest son of the Yu family.When the guards of the palace saw them coming, they didn't even stop them, and directly opened the gate to let them pass.

Prime Minister Yu Yunwen and his mother, Mrs. Yu, followed closely behind in a carriage.

From the Wen family, only Wen Liangfu and his wife came.Also sitting in a carriage, arrived at the Daqing Palace a stick of incense ahead of time.

I heard that all the guests had arrived, and the Empress Dowager dressed up neatly, and specially put on a pearl hairpin on her head. It is said that this hairpin was a holiday gift from her own son back then.

When the Empress Dowager walked around the screen and appeared in front of everyone, everyone stood up and bowed their hands.The Empress Dowager smiled and said: "Tonight is for the second prince to clean up the dust, so please don't be restrained. Ladies and gentlemen, you and the Ai family are a family. This is a family banquet, not a state banquet, let alone a grand banquet."

After hearing her words, everyone couldn't help but smile, and sat down with ease.

In such a beautiful banquet, there must be good food and good wine.The palace lady came out with the wine jug made by Meiyu, and filled the guests' wine glasses with wine.

Knowing that the second prince is a monk and does not eat wine or meat, Yu Shinan covered the mouth of the cup with his hand when the maid poured Liansheng wine from the wine pot.

Seeing this, the empress dowager laughed and said, "The Ai family is dreaming, and in their dreams they thought that the second prince had returned to vulgarity."

Liansheng clasped his hands together and shook his head in response: "The poor monk is already a member of the Buddha."

"The Ai family knows that the second prince became a monk because of the king's illness, and he wholeheartedly wants to pray for the king's illness in the temple. If the king's illness is cured, the second prince should be able to return to the palace—"

Liansheng said nothing about what the empress dowager said seemed to be wishful thinking.

The Empress Dowager sighed.

The Yu family also didn't dare to say a word.Only Wen's family, Wen Liangfu followed the Queen Mother's words and said: "The king's illness is not getting better every day, it is a pain in everyone's heart. All the ministers, like the Queen Mother, are very concerned about the king's safety."

Hearing this, Gao Zhi frowned slightly.Out of the corner of his eyes, he glanced at the indifferent monk's face of his biological brother, and almost snorted from his nostrils.

Yes, it is the nature of royal people to open their eyes and tell nonsense.Everyone knew that the Wen family was actually the one who really wanted the king and them to die sooner.As long as they died sooner, the Wen family might be able to replace the Gao family as the masters of Gaobei in the future, because Gao Zhuo is an idiot, a dou who cannot be supported, and will sooner or later be tricked by the Wen family.

The empress dowager seemed to be leaning over to hear her family members talking, and when her expression seemed a little satisfied, she suddenly heard a bang on the left. She couldn't help raising her eyebrows in surprise, and turned her head with the Wen family, and saw something that looked like a few glasses of wine. The back of the stomach looks like the crown prince who is already blushing.

When Gao Zhi stood up, not only the empress dowager and the Wen family were surprised, but also the Yu family were astonished.

How is this going?

The empress dowager touched the armrest, showing a little hesitation.

Gao Zhi raised his glasses to her with both hands, and said: "Empress Dowager, Sun Chen is happy tonight, very happy, because he didn't expect that the Empress Dowager agreed to Sun Chen's request when he went to court in the daytime. Sun Chen asked the Empress Dowager before. The Empress Dowager either said that it needs to be considered, or that Sun Chen is still young and ignorant."

Hearing his words, the Empress Dowager certainly had a dissatisfied expression on her face, and said, "Could it be that the Crown Prince is already drunk after a few glasses of wine?"

"Sun Chen is not drunk. It is because without the help of this wine, some words cannot be uttered. Just think about it. Our royal family eats such a meal, and Sun Chen's younger brother does not know how long he has been out of the palace. , There is no such opportunity for Sun Chen. This time, my younger brother can come back, there is someone who deserves credit, and Sun Chen thinks, if she is there, the family banquet will be more happy."

"It seems that the crown prince is really drunk and talking nonsense!"

Whether Gao Zhi was drunk or not, the Wen family and even the Yu family who were opposite seemed to be unable to understand.Because I saw Gao Zhi's face was flushed, and some hairs even fell from the feather crown, looking messy.It can be said that Gao Zhi's form is something they have never seen before.And the extent of Gao Zhi's drinking capacity, perhaps only Yu Shinan knows.But Yu Shinan's expression seemed equally astonished.

The Wen family couldn't understand it at all.Is this Gao Zhi playing tricks with the help of alcohol?
If you think about it carefully, this possibility is definitely there.I think after they heard the news last night, they were still worried that Gao Zhi would bring Li Min's matter directly in front of civil and military officials.The government and the opposition are not of one mind.At that time, I am afraid that the entire ruling and opposition parties will be in chaos.However, just in time for the chaos, the empress dowager can say that this matter needs to be carefully thought out before making a decision, so it can be delayed again and again.

If Gao Zhi had figured this out earlier, he might as well use the family banquet to make his move.

Thinking that she might be set up by this eldest grandson, the empress dowager was very anxious and angry at the same time, and she wanted to stop Gao Zhi from speaking no matter what.

When several eunuchs were ordered to go up to help Gao Zhi to rest, a clear voice suddenly said from the side: "Even if he is drunk, there are people here to take care of him. Because this is a family feast."

Everyone heard the reputation and looked over, and saw the voice of the second prince Liansheng who had become a monk.

The empress dowager was also taken aback, because she didn't expect that the brothers who hadn't seen each other for a long time had become one, she frowned, and was about to speak.

Gao Zhi on the other end rushed to talk to her: "Could it be that the empress dowager is worried that she can cure the king's illness? That's why she stopped Sun Chen from speaking."
