Tonight is the full moon, and Tang Ning originally planned to drink and admire the moon with her family tonight, which included Zhao Man.
However, an oral announcement came from the palace earlier, announcing that Zhao Man had entered the palace. It was said that the royal family was holding a family banquet in the palace tonight, and as the princess, Zhao Man naturally had to participate.
Even Zhao Man had to attend the family banquet. Prince Kang, Prince Huai, and Prince Duan, who was regarded by everyone as half-assed on the throne, naturally had to attend too.
As a result, the banquet that King Duan wanted to hold in the palace at night naturally came to nothing.
Tang Ning rejected Prince Duan during the day, not just because it was impossible for him to turn their hostility into friendship with Prince Duan, but also because an official like him couldn't go to this banquet.
Many of those sixteen generals have been in the army for too long and are not suitable for the twists and turns of the court. If it were an old fox like General Xiao or Lu Ding, he would also be rejected in person.
.
It is normal for Prince Duan to do something forgetful once he succeeds. Emperor Chen will not punish him excessively for this matter. At most, he will just take the opportunity to beat him. He just doesn't know the benefits of beating Prince Duan. In the end,
Whose head will it fall on?
A royal palace, a luxurious palace somewhere.
The fifteenth month is full, and this is an ordinary family banquet for the royal family. It is ordinary, but the various delicacies at the banquet cost a lot of money, enough to keep an ordinary family of three from worrying about food and clothing for several lifetimes.
The Queen Mother and Emperor Chen were sitting at the top, and below were several favored concubines, including Concubine Shu, Concubine Hui, and others. Concubine Zhang Xian was seriously ill because of Prince Kang's affairs. She was still lying on her bed at this time and did not attend.
Below are several princes and princesses, seated in order of age.
There have been major changes in the northwest, but the imperial court has made full preparations. The panic in the north has been blocked from the capital, and there is singing and dancing in the hall, and there is a lot of joy.
Above, Emperor Chen personally served a bowl of soup to the Queen Mother and said with a smile: "Queen Mother, try this soup. Yuan'er cooked it specially for you."
The Queen Mother looked down and said in surprise: "Yuan'er can still cook soup at such a young age?"
Chen Huang showed a smile on his face and said happily, "Yuan'er has been filial since he was a child. He knows my taste and gives me a bowl of nourishing soup every day."
"This child was taught well by Concubine Shu." The Queen Mother raised her hand and said, "Yuan'er, sit here..."
Prince Run and Empress Dowager Chen sat together. Prince Duan raised his head and looked up, but he didn't feel anything different in his heart.
In his eyes, he was just a child, and even though he was favored by his father and the Queen Mother, he could not pose any threat to his throne.
When he looked back, King Huai stood up, walked over from the opposite side, raised his glass to him, and said, "I'd like to propose a toast to my brother."
Although the two are of the same generation, King Huai is young, so it is appropriate to respect him. King Duan raised his wine glass and said with a smile: "My father pays special attention to this martial arts competition, and my younger brother must also pay attention..."
King Huai smiled and said, "That's right. Brother Emperor, please rest assured."
King Duan drank a glass of wine, filled it again, and walked towards King Kang.
Among the princes, King Kang is the oldest. Even though he is now the heir, he still needs to have the etiquette he should have.
In the past, every time he toasted to King Kang, King Duan felt very unhappy. However, this time, he felt very comfortable. He stepped forward and said, "I'd like to propose a toast to Brother Wang..."
King Kang watched him approaching, his body subconsciously dodging, and a trace of fear appeared on his face.
When King Duan saw this, his expression was slightly startled, and then a trace of indescribable joy emerged in his heart. He had been fighting with King Kang for so long, but had he ever seen him so embarrassed in front of him?
With a smile on his face, he looked at King Kang, raised his wine glass, and asked again: "Brother Emperor?"
King Kang finally came to his senses, picked up the wine glass tremblingly, and said, "Okay..."
King Duan was very close to him and could hear the trembling in his voice and the shaking of his body, which made him feel even more happy.
Just as he was about to pick up the wine glass in his hand and drink it all in one gulp, King Kang accidentally spilled the wine in the glass because he was shaking too violently.
Part of the wine spilled on the ground, and the other part spilled on King Duan's shoes.
When King Duan was stunned, King Kang's face turned pale, and he knelt down on the ground and said in shock: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I didn't mean it, I didn't mean it..."
He knelt in front of King Duan and wiped the wet uppers of King Duan's shoes with his sleeves, his body trembling.
When King Duan reacted, it was already too late. He took a few steps back and said in shock: "What are you doing..."
The princes and princesses looked at this scene with shocked expressions on their faces, while several concubines looked stunned, not knowing what was going on.
Above, Chen Huang had stood up, looked at Prince Duan, and said sternly: "Ming'er, what are you doing!"
Prince Duan looked dull and said in a daze: "I, I don't know either. Brother Huang..."
King Kang knelt on the ground, turned around, and kowtowed several times on the ground. When he raised his head, blood stains were already oozing from his forehead.
He looked at Emperor Chen and said loudly: "Father, I didn't intentionally spill wine on the emperor's shoes. Please forgive me, please forgive me..."
The dancers dancing in the palace were frightened, stopped their movements, and stood aside in panic. The eunuchs and maids serving in the palace also lowered their heads and did not dare to make a sound.
Since the last incident, King Kang's attempt to seize the throne has completely failed. There are countless examples of people who died due to failed attempts to seize the throne in history. King Kang was worried that he would be assassinated by King Duan in his fiefdom. In fear, he almost committed suicide by hanging himself from the beam in the palace. Although he was
He was rescued and could barely stay in the capital, but he was obviously frightened.
Just because he accidentally spilled wine on King Duan's shoes, he knelt down in fear to wipe them off and bowed his head to apologize, which shows how deep his fear of King Duan was.
It is really sad to think that a month ago, King Kang was the number one enemy of King Duan and the popular candidate to compete for the crown prince. Suddenly, he was reduced to this situation...
Emperor Chen looked at King Kang who was kneeling on the ground, buckling his head. His face was gloomy, his fists in his sleeves were clenched, and he said angrily: "Who is going to punish you!"
After he glanced at Prince Duan, he looked at the eunuch beside him and said, "Take Prince Kang to the Imperial Hospital for treatment..."
The two eunuchs responded and hurriedly helped King Kang down. King Duan stood there, neither advancing nor retreating, looking extremely embarrassed.
Chen Huang glanced at him and said in a voice without any emotion: "You go down first."
Prince Duan sat back down, looked at the sullen Emperor Chen, and cursed in his heart. Prince Kang's act of kneeling before him had clearly aroused his father's dissatisfaction. Who would have thought that he would become like this now?
Cowardly people...
After the previous episode, the family dinner continued, but the atmosphere obviously cooled down.
"Minger."
At a certain moment, Emperor Chen suddenly looked at Prince Duan.
King Duan immediately stood up and said, "My son and I are here."
Emperor Chen looked at him and said: "Leave it to Rui'er to do the martial arts examination. I have other errands for you."
The martial arts examination was an errand that he attached great importance to, so he handed it over to King Huai like this. King Duan was extremely unwilling, but he also knew that this was an expression of his father's dissatisfaction with him. After his expression changed, he could only grit his teeth in the end.
He lowered his head and said, "My son, I obey."
When King Duan lowered his face and sat back down, King Kang, who had already treated his wounds and walked out of the Taiyuan Hospital, had no fear on his face, but a trace of sarcasm on his face.../13_13482/
