In front of the palace, footsteps could be heard, and not long after, a chamberlain from the palace reported what was happening in the Zhengyang Palace. When the chamberlain finished speaking, the empress waved her hand gently, and the chamberlain slowly retreated.
Emperor Liang glanced at the palace lantern hanging under the eaves, and sneered, "It's quite courageous, and I don't know how much it cost, to make that Ning's baby willingly pretend to be a fool."
Emperor Daliang was a little angry, not because someone was behind what happened in Zhengyang Palace, but because the Ning boy regarded himself as a genius, but did not have the arrogance that a genius should have.
I'm willing to pretend to be a fool.
As for the actions of the young monks outside Fang, he knew very well that it was just because Chen Chao had killed several Qi refiners in Tianqing County before, so they wanted to use today's imperial banquet to test the Liang Chao.
Reaction.
What happened at the imperial banquet is too superficial now, and it was deliberately done by people. But since it is such a superficial situation, the big shots naturally can only watch from the sidelines.
Emperor Liang sneered and said, "We say they are friends, but after all, how can we have the same virtues if we are not of the same mind?"
The Queen smiled and said, "I also know that His Majesty will not care about these children, otherwise no matter how much those people give, the old foxes will not dare to instruct those children to do this. After all, who can bear His Majesty's thunderous wrath?"
"
The Emperor of Daliang stared at the Queen for a long time, and then said quietly, "In the Daliang Dynasty now, except for the old man in the academy, you are the only one who dares to ridicule me like this."
The empress said nonchalantly, "Your Majesty is your Majesty to all the people in the world, but from my concubine's point of view, your Majesty is just my concubine's husband. If you can't make some jokes in front of your husband, what's the point?"
Emperor Liang nodded and agreed.
He reached out and took down a palace lantern, carried it himself, and walked forward with the Queen.
The Empress stretched out her hand and naturally took Emperor Liang's hand and asked, "What do you think of that girl, Your Majesty?"
Emperor Liang frowned when he heard this, and said with some displeasure, "I am not very satisfied with what the Xie family has done these years. More than two hundred years ago, they followed Taizu Emperor Gao to conquer the world and settled in the capital of the gods.
Didn't do anything extraordinary,
Naturally, it will be stable, but now that there are more people, it is inevitable that some different thoughts will arise. They did an excellent job at Bailu's ancestral temple, how can there be any news about anything else?"
"Nowadays, these young people are more scheming and scheming, but they lack the sunshine and straightforwardness of young people. I don't like it very much. They are young people, why are they pretending to be mature?"
The Queen smiled and reminded, "I mean that girl."
"That girl... is naturally good, but she is too quiet. She was not of the same temperament as the queen when she was young. But she could see the situation clearly, but she still spoke up. I don't know if it was for me, Daliang Chao, or for me.
That boy."
Emperor Liang smiled and said, "It looks like it is just like the rumors in the capital city. That girl has some thoughts about that boy. If so, she won't be able to be your daughter-in-law."
The Queen was a little helpless and didn't speak. She just walked for a while and then said, "I felt very friendly when I just saw that child. I wonder if Your Majesty feels the same way?"
Emperor Liang did not answer this question, but suddenly said, "Tell Li Heng to let that boy go to Zhengyang Palace later."
There was no one around at this moment, but Emperor Liang knew very well that his will would definitely be spread.
The Queen feigned anger and said, "Your Majesty, if you do this, that child will hate me to death."
Emperor Liang smiled and patted the Queen's hand, but said nothing.
…
…
The capital of the gods is very big, and the imperial city is naturally not too small. Chen Chao, who has never entered the imperial city, can only follow Li Heng who brought him into the palace. Li Heng was originally taking this young man to Zhengyang.
He went to the palace, but halfway there, he stopped for a moment, and then naturally turned into another road.
Chen Chao followed for a few steps before he felt something was not right. Seeing that the road in front of him was not the one he had walked before, he couldn't help but ask, "Eunuch Li, don't we
Are you going to Zhengyang Palace?"
Li Heng smiled and responded, "Of course we are going to Zhengyang Palace. Commander Chen, do you have any questions?"
Chen Chao frowned and said, "This... doesn't seem to be the shortest way."
He spoke very measuredly and did not directly say that this was not the way he came.
Li Heng said, "I don't know when Commander Chen will enter the palace next time. It's a good thing to take a look at the scenery in other parts of the imperial city now."
Although Li Heng didn't say anything, it seemed like he had said everything.
Chen Chao thought for a moment and knew that this must be the intention of the Queen, so he stopped asking further questions and just asked, "How long has Eunuch Li been in the palace?"
Li Heng's eyes flashed with admiration, and he was very satisfied with what this young man had shown.
"Thirteen years."
Chen Chao thought thoughtfully, "That will be when His Majesty ascends the throne, and my father-in-law will enter the palace."
Li Heng didn't answer, just nodded.
Chen Chao suddenly asked, "The royal banquet has not yet arrived, will your Majesty punish you?"
Before Li Heng could speak, Chen Chao said to himself, "I don't think so. Your Majesty and the Queen have always been respectful to each other. If he knew that I was summoned by the Queen, he would definitely not be angry. But at this moment, in Zhengyang Palace, will anyone catch me?
Are you still holding on to this matter?"
In these days of trance, Chen Chao knew that he had offended many people. On the bank of Nanhu, he almost offended an academy and rejected Tianyuyuan. He didn't know what the other side would think. In addition, he had an affair with Xie Nandu.
There must be someone at the banquet who doesn't like me.
"I think today is a royal banquet. Even if His Majesty is not here, it should be a certain prince. In addition, the Wanliu Conference is about to be held. On such an occasion, no one should be stupid enough to jump out and become such a clown, right?"
Li Heng said, "Tonight's royal banquet is hosted by the Second Prince, and some young monks from other places who are good friends with Daliang have also been invited."
Chen Chao was a little surprised and asked, "Why is this?"
Li Heng shook his head. Even if he knew these things, he would not tell them.
Chen Chao smiled bitterly and said, "Since there are monks from outside the country, the Queen still makes me late. Isn't it difficult for me?"
Li Heng reminded, "The empress has always been kind, Commander Chen should be careful with her words."
"How long until we get there?"
Chen Chao didn't ask anything else. Since the matter had happened, he could only think of a solution.
Li Heng thought for a while and said, "Commander Chen, please wait another quarter of an hour."
Chen Chao frowned and said, "I can't wait so long."
Li Heng sighed and said softly, "Commander Chen can only wait so long."
…
…
The place was very quiet. The most surprising thing was the young man from the Ning family. He glanced at somewhere in the banquet, then looked back, looking at Xie Nandu with a slightly confused expression.
No one would have thought that the situation at this royal banquet would suddenly deviate from their expectations.
No one expected that the usually quiet and calm girl would speak so quickly, and so hard and straight that she almost raised the sword and pressed it against the opponent's throat.
He Yi looked at Xie Nandu and said expressionlessly, "It seems that the dean's vision is not very good. Now the academy is accepting a rude student like you?"
After hearing this, Wang Kuan, who had spoken before, became a little dissatisfied and stood up. Xia Yuan also looked a little ugly. He had always valued the academy very much, otherwise he would not have had any ill will towards Chen Chao before.
But before they could speak, Xie Nandu looked at He Yi in front of him and said, "I have been studying since I was a child, so I naturally understand etiquette. But since you are a man from the mountains, it is rude to point fingers here.
."
Hearing this, the crowd was in an uproar.
He Yi is a young genius on the Hidden Dragon List. Even the monks present outside the country wanted to give him some respect, but they did not expect that the girl would be so ruthless as soon as she opened her mouth.
He Yi sneered and said, "We have come from afar to be guests."
Xie Nandu shook his head and said, "There are many kinds of guests, and there are many ways to treat guests, and you are just a bad guest."
