After these unlucky ones were dealt with, the next step was to reward them based on their merits. Everyone craned their necks to look into the palace, waiting for the emperor to give them a promotion or something.
As a result, we waited and waited. I don’t know how long we waited, but the imperial edict of awarding the reward still failed to come down. Everyone began to feel uneasy, and they secretly communicated with each other to find out the news, hoping to know what the current Holy Emperor was thinking in his heart.
At this time when people's hearts were fluctuating, the emperor decided to hold a celebration banquet and entertain all the officials.
Is His Majesty going to give out rewards at the celebration banquet? This is really a good idea. Thinking of the situation where he is about to be promoted to an official position, everyone is as excited as chicken blood, and they are so excited that they can't sleep.
The celebration banquet was held on the night of the last day of this month. In addition to the civil and military officials, the princes and princes also attended the banquet. As Xiao Yu's personal maid, Xiao Lezi was also fortunate to be present at the scene and witnessed it with her own eyes.
The delicious food was put on the table, and I swallowed secretly.
It would be nice if I could have a small bite...
She suddenly noticed Xiao Feng's eyes looking over. He smiled at her, then pointed at the corner of his mouth, signaling her to wipe the saliva quickly.
Xiao Lezi immediately wiped her mouth with her sleeve, but found that there was nothing on her mouth. This guy was playing tricks on her!
She rolled her eyes at him unceremoniously and ignored him. As a result, she turned her face and saw Yan Nichang coming.
This time Yan Nichang is not alone. Standing next to her is a middle-aged man with a general belly. I heard that this man is the prime minister of Northern Yan. This time, as a special envoy, he came to negotiate with the Wushuang Dynasty on the order of the King of Northern Yan.
Discuss alliance matters.
Due to their special status, they naturally received special care and were placed at the second table on the right, which was the table below Prince Xiao Feng.
Yan Nichang was obviously very satisfied with this position. Before sitting down, she walked up to Xiao Feng, blinked her big eyes and smiled brightly: "Brother Feng, can I sit at the same table with you?"
Seeing this scene, Xiao Lezi rolled her eyes again. She decided not to look at this couple, so as not to turn herself into a cross-eyed person.
She began to observe the other princes. Among them, the eldest prince, Xiao Yun, smiled and nodded at her in a friendly manner, and she grinned back.
Before the banquet started, Xiao Shen came over to Xiao Yu with a slightly bitter expression: "Seventh brother, why didn't you bring the cabbage out today?"
Xiao Yu glanced at him inexplicably: "Bai Lan is in the Tianyi Palace. I usually attend banquets and I always bring some fun. I don't usually see you asking, so why did you suddenly ask about it today?"
Xiao Shen seemed to have remembered something and coughed twice in embarrassment: "I'm just asking casually, don't worry about it."
"Oh," Xiao Yu said again, "Father is coming soon, please go back to your seat."
Xiao Shen looked at him twice with a complicated expression, and then turned and left dejectedly. Seeing his appearance, Xiao Yu was even more confused as a monk: "Brother Five Emperors, what's going on?"
Xiao Lezi could probably guess that Cabbage must have listened to her words before and became jealous and angry, so Xiao Shen was tortured until he screamed.
It felt so good to overturn the jealousy. Xiao Lezi said that revenge was very satisfying, but she didn't notice that Xiao Feng, who was sitting at the table opposite, was staring at her at the moment. If you look carefully, you can see that there is also jealousy in his eyes...
...Just now he saw Xiao Lezi and Xiao Yun flirting with each other with his own eyes!
The emperor made his grand entrance surrounded by a group of attendants and maids. Everyone stood up, knelt down and saluted, and shouted in unison: "Long live my emperor!"
The emperor sat on the highest dragon chair and looked at the dark top of his head. He expressed satisfaction: "Let's all be flat."
"Long live thanks!"
The celebration banquet officially began, and fine wines were brought out from the palace gate. The aroma of wine overflowed and was intoxicating.
Xiao Lezi began to swallow silently again, whether he could watch or not eat. For a foodie, this is the biggest torture in life!
After three rounds of drinking, the atmosphere gradually became more lively, and everyone began to talk more. As they pushed glasses and changed cups, chatting and laughter continued. Although it was not possible to be too presumptuous due to the presence of the emperor, the joy and expectation on their faces were evident.
It's extremely strong.
I don't know who started it, but suddenly asked about the leg injury of the eldest prince Xiao Yun. The intention was to bring back his memories of the battlefield and then let the emperor give him a reward.
Due to the large number of people who wanted to receive the reward, everyone had the same goal. When asked about the eldest prince's injury, they all put down their glasses and looked at him with unusual concern.
Xiao Yun didn't feel too nervous when being stared at by so many pairs of eyes. He took a sip of wine and smiled lightly: "Thanks to everyone's concern, after this period of recuperation, my leg injury has improved a lot. No.
Sorry for your concern."
"The eldest prince was injured in response to the enemy. He is the great hero of our unparalleled dynasty. If we don't miss you, who else can we miss?"
"Yes, yes, I heard that the eldest prince was caught in the enemy's trick, but managed to escape from death. The process must be thrilling. If I can hear you say a few words about your personal experience, we will really die without regrets!"
There were still people who wanted to echo, but were interrupted by Xiao Yun. He still had a smile on his face, with a gentle and gentle look, and looked very harmless. But Xiao Lezi saw it, and he was a little angry now, and he couldn't help but feel
I broke into a cold sweat for him.
Xiao Yun stood up, held the rocker straight, walked to the center of the palace, lifted up a corner of his robe, and knelt down towards the emperor: "As a general, I, instead of being able to fight bravely, I fell into the enemy's conspiracy. This is my fault."
I ask my father to punish me for my dereliction of duty!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone was stunned, especially those officials who clamored for him to recall the war. At this moment, they all shrank back angrily and did not dare to say any more.
The emperor glanced at the ministers, who were so frightened that they all lowered their heads. Then he withdrew his gaze and looked at Xiao Yun, who was kneeling in the center of the palace, without saying a word.
At this moment, Xiao Feng, who had been silent, suddenly stood up and saluted the emperor: "Father, although the eldest brother made mistakes, he was able to lead his soldiers to escape the enemy's persecution, escape from death, and fight for our army.
When I get the chance to counterattack, I have already made amends for my fault, and I ask my father to show mercy to my eldest brother for the sake of being injured for the country."
Hearing these words, the other princes looked at each other and immediately understood what Xiao Feng meant. They all stood up one after another and begged for Xiao Yun's mercy together.
Seeing the scene of his sons' brotherly respect, the emperor was happier than having won a battle. He nodded with satisfaction, his eyes full of love: "Since you all beg for mercy for the boss, then for the sake of your brothers, let me
Let the boss go this time. Remember, it’s just this once and it won’t happen next time.”
Xiao Feng immediately raised his hands and said, "Thank you very much, Father, for your kindness."
"Okay, everyone go back and sit down," the emperor smiled so hard that crow's feet appeared at the corners of his eyes, "The eldest and the second son went to the border for the imperial court. They both suffered a lot outside. I am happy today. I wish you each
Make a wish."
This was a great favor. The princes looked at Xiao Yun and Xiao Feng with eyes full of envy, jealousy and hatred. Xiao Yun, who was usually the most humble, had no intention of refusing this time. He returned to his seat, smiled slightly and said: "
I want to ask my father for a favor."
"Oh?" The emperor was a little interested, "Let me know who you want."
"The person I want is in this hall," Xiao Yun's eyes moved slowly, and finally landed behind Xiao Yu, "I heard that the fifth brother is going to the border soon, and Tianyi Hall is afraid that it will be vacant.
When I came down, I shamelessly wanted to ask for some fun from you."
Hearing this, not only Xiao Yu, but also Xiao Feng and the emperor were also stunned.
Everyone's eyes turned to Xiao Lezi, and as the central figure, Xiao Lezi was staring at the delicacies on the table and secretly drooling. Her mind was filled with the fantasy that she was monopolizing the table and eating and drinking as much as she wanted.
scene, completely unaware of the change in the atmosphere.
After a moment of silence, the emperor slowly spoke: "Xiao Lezi belongs to Lao Wu. If you want to please others, you must first ask Lao Wu what he means."
Xiao Yun turned his gaze to Xiao Yu and smiled slightly, like a handsome gentleman, very elegant: "Fifth brother, to tell you the truth, if it hadn't been for Xiao Lezi's support and encouragement, I might still be lying in bed unable to sleep.
Walking. I am very grateful to Xiao Lezi and have a good impression of him. After you leave, I will take good care of Tianyi Palace and Xiao Lezi for you. I hope you can reward me for this favor."
Normally, Xiao Yu would definitely not agree to give Xiao Lezi to others, but now the timing is different. He will leave soon, leaving the old and young in Tianyi Palace without anyone to take care of him. It is inevitable that he will feel worried. Now listen.
When it came to Xiao Yun, Xiao Yu felt a little moved. If someone took care of Tianyi Palace during his absence, he would be more relieved.
I just don’t know what Xiaolezi is thinking...
Xiao Yu turned to look at Xiao Lezi and called her twice, but she didn't respond. He frowned and poked her quietly with his finger, and she suddenly came back to her senses as if she was waking up from a dream.
She opened her eyes wide and saw everyone staring at her, thinking that someone had discovered her fantasy, and laughed guiltily.
Xiao Yu twitched the corner of her mouth and asked in a low voice: "The eldest brother wants you to work as an errand in Deyang Palace, are you willing?"
Xiaolezi was stunned for a moment: "Why?"
Where did this guy wander off just now?! Xiao Yu patiently recounted what had just happened, and finally said: "Whether you want it or not, I respect your decision."
Hearing this, Xiao Lezi felt moved in her heart. In this palace, no one had ever cared about her wishes. Xiao Yu was indeed the child she had watched grow up. She had no leucorrhea!
However, Xiao Lezi was still a little hesitant about whether to go to Deyang Palace, not because of anything else but because Xiao Feng was a pervert, so she couldn't go to Deyang Palace to provoke Xiao Yun.
If Xiao Feng is really pushed into a hurry and this guy goes crazy, she will be the unlucky one in the end!
Xiao Feng was so obsessed with her that he couldn't get rid of her no matter how hard he got rid of her. Xiao Lezi was so angry that she couldn't help but look towards Xiao Feng. She was about to give him a green look when she saw him also spoke.
He said: "Father, my son's wish is also to be alone."
The emperor raised his eyebrows: "Don't you also want the little fun of the fifth family?" (To be continued)
