Chapter 187: Meeting Your East

Author: Willow Leaves in Winter

On the other side of Heyuan, the banquet has just begun.

The palace maid with tall hair was swinging her long sleeves and was spinning and dancing on the field covered with thick carpets. The sound of silk and bamboo lingered in people's ears.

Beautiful people, beautiful music, warm outdoors like spring, snow flying all over the sky. Everyone in the hall was drunk without getting drunk.

King Xiu picked up the wine glass and raised it in several directions: "Thank you for your donation. Xiao Wang will serve on behalf of his father and the victims of Dingbei, and I wish you a glass."

"Xie Bidong, Xie Xiu's Palace East." Everyone responded.

"Everyone doesn't have to be restrained, it's fine if you're at home."

King Xiu was handsome, calm and did not have the airs of a prince at all. The person who was originally nervous and nervous gradually relaxed and the atmosphere became lively.

King Xiu came to Xin You with a glass of wine: "Xiao Wang admired Miss Kou for a long time, Mingyue finally had the opportunity to respect Miss Kou with a glass of wine, and he hoped Miss Kou would enjoy the glory."

Everyone was polite to each other, and Yu Guang looked there desperately.

They never forgot about Princess Zhaoyang’s birthday party in the previous confinement period when they were looking for Miss Kou to drink at King Qing’s birthday party. Did King Mingyuexiu also ask to drink with Miss Kou?

Tsk, let’s not talk about whether the matter is good or bad. At that time, the two princes who left the palace and opened the palace all toasted Miss Kou. Miss Kou is the only one among the women in the capital.

Everyone held the wine glasses and looked as if nothing had happened, but they could not wait to see how Miss Kou responded to the mistake.

He Qingxiao looked at that scene and thought of that month.

After that month, it was said that Miss Kou would not fall into a thousand cups, but he knew that she was drunk.

Her drunken words were still in her ears: Lord He, why is my bright moon more beautiful than usual?

Thinking of that, He Qingxiao bent his lips unconsciously.

Is it true that because of Miss Kou's words, Na Yue returned to Changle Marquis' Mansion and looked in the mirror carefully for the first time.

Looking in the mirror, Aunt Baizhang found that the memories were not very beautiful. He Qingxiao retracted his thoughts and held the wine glass with a little force.

King Xiu has always been low-key, why is Mingyue wrong about Miss Kou so enthusiastic?

It is true that Miss Kou donated the most among the people present, but she didn’t have a young girl, and she seemed to be a little overdoing as King Xiu.

But looking at King Xiu's expression, he was calm.

He Qingxiao pursed his lips slightly and watched the changes.

Xin You's eyes swept across the tray that the palace maid was holding, and picked up the wine glass placed in front of her.

The banquet seats had been set long ago, and she had to be there at the beginning of the table.

"You are polite to the east of Xiuwang Diandong." Xin You raised her wine glass and lowered her eyes to drink the fruit wine.

King Xiu happily drank the wine in the glass, and his tone was gentle: "Miss Kou eat more vegetables. The deer jelly cooked in the palace, and Miss Kou can try it."

"Thank you, King Xiu's Palace East." Xin You thanked her generously.

She had never had much contact with King Xiu, and it was unclear whether the most she donated, King Xiu treated him differently. King Xiu was originally gentle and polite.

It doesn’t matter if Bu Xiang is wrong, she doesn’t care.

King Xiu nodded to Xinyou and walked to the east to a table.

Seeing that it was not lively, everyone silently retracted their attention.

"Miss Kou, he would like to pay a cup to me." A girl at the same table raised her glass to Xin You.

The girl had long eyebrows and had a kind of heroic beauty. She didn't look embarrassed when she introduced her: "He was Hongying, did he come to the banquet for his mother? Did his mother ever have a general in General Xu's legs..."

When Xin You heard this, she learned about the girl's identity.

During the years when Emperor Xingyuan defeated Tiandong, Empress Xin had been walking with him, which set an example for many women. Several famous female generals appeared in troubled times, and whether those female generals died in war or not, or

Whether he retired due to injury, or whether he married and had children, he would no longer see any trace in the court. Among them, General Red is the most famous and has the highest military achievements.

Although the people rarely mention the Red General again in the Ming Dynasty, Xin You heard about it.

After the founding of the Kingdom of Daxia, the Red General lived in seclusion due to his old injuries. Later, he suddenly gave birth to a daughter. At that time, the Red General was not married. This caused an uproar at that time. Many court officials were angry and asked to take away the Red General's title and were promoted.

Emperor Yuan refused.

It is said that Empress Xin slapped the dagger in front of Emperor Xingyuan and said that if anyone asked to deprive General Hong of his achievements, he would flatten his mansion.

It is also said that in the years when Empress Xin had not left, there were few officials and nobles who took concubines. Yiduo did not want to give the Queen a bad impression, Erduo's shrewd wife really dared to carry a knife...

Hongying looks like she is in her twenties, so she looks like an unmarried woman.

Xin You raised her glass: "His name is Kou Qingqing, Miss Jinghong."

I think that Miss Hong's mother also had a drink with her mother, but Xin You couldn't be so good at the girl in front of her.

Feeling Xin You's kindness, Hongying drank the wine in her glass in one go.

In fact, she didn't look so calm and worried about the embarrassment after being rejected when she picked up the wine glass.

She despised the unknown person of her father. Since childhood, those who were polite on the surface, but despised them in their hearts. Many people even said something unpleasant in person.

She thought Miss Kou, who donated 50,000 taels of silver, looked down on her, but if she walked together, it would be a pity if she didn't even say a word.

"What does the Red Girl Pingyue do? If you have any time, you can often come to Qingsong Bookstore to play..."

Hongying couldn't help but nod.

She didn't deny the people who read the scripts, but she decided to turn around and buy all the books that Qingsong Bookstore wrote and take a look.

He Qingxiao looked from afar and couldn't help but raise his lips.

Miss Kou seems to have made new friends again.

After drinking for three rounds, the atmosphere was in full swing. Suddenly, a newspaper rang out: "The emperor is here-"

Everyone in the hall paused, and many people were shocked to lose their chopsticks in their legs. Then they hurriedly bowed and called "Bi Dong".

Emperor Xingyuan walked into the hall surrounded by clusters. The heat coming from his face made him squint. The brocade cloak with a lot of snow was taken east by the eunuch Sun Yan and handed it to the outside servant beside him.

King Xiu came over: "Father."

Emperor Xingyuan nodded slightly, his eyes slowly swept across the people in the hall, and saw the back of his head.

"Dingbei is moving, and I think about the suffering of the people and cannot sleep at night. Fortunately, all good deeds have helped the victims of Dingbei to overcome difficulties. Let's get up. Do I want to see the kind people in his capital with my own eyes when I come here this time?

.”

"Xie Bidong." Many people quietly wiped their eyes when they stood up, and some even shivered with excitement.

God, I can actually see the emperor when I donate some money. If there is no such thing as Zhiwang in the east, I would beg for a donation!

When Emperor Xingyuan saw the expressions of those people, he guessed their general thoughts and had a faint smile in his eyes.

Is it a surprise to see if he was curious about Miss Kou when he came here? If he could inspire the wealthy families to donate money in the future, would he be surprised?

"I heard that Miss Kou, the boss of the Fuqingsong Bookstore, who donated the most to the disaster area, has donated the most."

As soon as Emperor Xingyuan said that, some wealthy businessmen with extremely rich family regretted it.

If I had known that I would have been named by the emperor if I had donated 50,000 taels, I would not have been denied.

Why didn't you say it earlier?

Duan Shaoqing felt differently: Why didn’t the emperor say he didn’t deny Duan Wensong’s niece, and the owner of Qingsong Bookstore?
