After everyone sat down for a while, Emperor Anqing (showed) his face. +++ Catino Novel Network

Emperor Anqing was in his forties, his face was pale and fat, and he had two-handed beards. He was very rich. When everyone saw him appear, they quickly got up and saluted. Emperor An Qing waved his hand, motioning everyone to get up. Only then ordered the big **** who was attending behind him to open a banquet.

The great **** sang “open a banquet” loudly, and he heard the music change, becoming more and more depressed. The palace people brought the appetizers one after another and placed them on the small table quietly and orderly. For guests to enjoy.

In the center of the main hall, a group of dancers dressed in extremely thin gauze, stepped forward gracefully with bare feet, slowly bowed to Emperor Anqing, and began to whirl and dance.

The Emperor An Qing looked very interested, leaning on the small table, watching the dance while pacing with the music.

An Changqing was not interested in singing and dancing, but kept pouring and drinking with a hip flask. This Xuemei wine has a light taste and does not have a spicy throat. He likes it very warm and comfortable after a sip. After only drinking five or six cups, Xiao Zhige took the wine glass from his hand.

Xiao Zhige picked a piece of tangerine peel beef (meat rou) from the plate and placed it in his bowl, without placing his beak and saying: “Don’t be greedy for a cup, eat a few dishes to crush your stomach.”

An Changqing reluctantly glanced at the hip flask that had been placed on the other side, and had to eat vegetables obediently. After eating, Xiao Zhige hadn’t moved his chopsticks, and he went back and forth to pick him up with an emerald cucumber, and said with a smile, “The prince will eat too.”

“…” Xiao Zhige stared at the cucumber in the bowl. He never liked this. Seeing An Changqing smiling like a little fox, it was clear that he was revenge for not giving him alcohol. Xiao Zhige’s mouth overflowed with a helpless smile, but he picked up the cucumber and ate it.

These two actions were all seen by Emperor An Qing. He squinted at An Changqing: “How can the second child squeeze a table with the princess?”

Before the two answered, they heard the prince smile and said: “The father did not know that the position of the princess was originally arranged on the side of the wife. The second brother was reluctant to bear the princess, so he brought people here.”

“Oh?” The Emperor An Qing squinted and smiled, his eyes swept over Xiao Zhige and An Changqing, and it didn’t matter: “The second one likes to squeeze, just squeeze, but…”

He suddenly changed his words: “I heard that the second wife has been doing a lot of money recently, and she bought a lot of winter clothes and charcoal? It costs a lot, right? Winter is almost over, and I still stock up on these things. The second child is spoiled. Princess, there should be a degree…”

After speaking, the smile on Emperor An Qing’s face has faded. Everyone with a discerning eye sees it out. This is knocking on the mountain and shaking the tiger, taking the opportunity to beat the Northern Warlord.

To say that among the three princes, who is the richest is undoubtedly the Northern War King Xiao Zhige.

After Xiao Zhige left the palace and opened his mansion, he bought a lot of Zhuangzi shops. These years, the business has been fairly good, and he has made a lot of money. But these are just small heads. There are not many Zhuangzi shops under the name of any prince. To say that the most profitable is the refined iron mine in Yanzhou.

Yanzhou borders the North Desert, the land is barren, and has been invaded by the Beidi people for years. It was very poor. It’s just that the Northern Warlord doesn’t know what luck he has gone. Unexpectedly, a fine iron ore was dug in Yanzhou. There were only three concentrate iron ore mines in Daye. Now that one is found, Emperor Anqing is naturally overjoyed.

Emperor Anqing was indulging in enjoyment, but now that the treasury is getting poorer year after year, he has the idea of ​​fine iron ore.

Who knows that Xiao Zhige, under the banner of Yanzhou soldiers and ordinary people defending the city, asked Anqing Emperor Kai’en to use 80% of the income from the iron ore for the defense construction of the Yanzhou city wall. At that time, just after the winter, all soldiers and soldiers in Yanzhou defended the city and lost their soldiers. Xiao Zhige handed them up at this time, and Emperor Anqing had no choice but to respond.

At the same time, he gave Xiao Zhige a hard note in his heart.

After many years, the Anqing Emperor thought of this matter more and more and saw Xiao Zhige not pleasing to his eyes. Now I heard from the in-house attendant that the princess of the Northern Warfare would cost more than one million taels of silver.

An Changqing frowned and was about to get up to explain. But Xiao Zhige held his hand. Shaking his head slightly at him, Xiao Zhige stood up and bowed and said, “Father, Emperor Mingjian, this matter was instructed by the son.”

Emperor An Qing raised his brows, slapped his palms on the table, and hummed: “Then it will be even more nonsense.”

The others held their breath and watched the follow-up.

However, Xiao Zhige did not change his face and said, “When Erchen went to the camp outside the city a few days ago, he ran into a mad Taoist. The mad Taoist said that Erchen’s previous life (killing sha) was too bad, and he was afraid that it would affect his closeness. People who need to do a good deed to save tens of thousands of people can resolve (kill sha) evil and accumulate blessings for their relatives. Later he said that Yejing would be harassed by the snow disaster soon, so that his ministers should prepare early to eliminate (kill sha) )evil.”

“The mad Taoist looked crazy, but he didn’t look like an ordinary person. Erchen wanted to take the person back for interrogation, but he disappeared without a trace. The son was dubious when he saw the mystery, and ordered the princess to stock up such things for the winter. ”

The Anqing emperor devoted himself to religion, and Xunxian asked how many Taoist priests he had invited to Yejing over the years. There is also a Taoist immortal master who lives in the palace to refine pills. This time, hearing what Xiao Zhige said, he was really hesitant.

At this time, the prince smiled warmly and said unintentionally: “This kind of immortal master who has come and gone without a trace can also calculate that there will be a catastrophe in the near future. Why don’t such capable people directly report to the father, but look for it. Second brother?”

Emperor Anqing, who was still hesitating, really changed his face (color) slightly.

Xiao Zhige said solemnly: Kill sha) the evil is in my body, so naturally I should eliminate it. Why bother with my father.”

The other three princes curled their lips and said, “This mad Taoist may not be true, maybe he is really a madman.”

“I would rather believe that it is there than to believe it is not.” Xiao Zhige glanced at him: “How dare you use the people you are close to and the safety of Yejing as a joke?”

Seeing that the three brothers had their own opinions, Emperor Anqing waved his hand and said, “No matter, since the second child has prepared these things. Just wait for the winter to pass and see the difference.”

When he said this, the prince and the third prince did not dare to say any more, and Xiao Zhige also sat back in his place.

An Changqing didn’t expect that he would come up with such a rhetoric to cover up for himself, and also take the responsibility on himself. For a while, he was moved and sad. But now it’s not convenient to talk, so I can only put vegetables in his bowl frequently.

***

After an hour, the banquet will be closed. Emperor Anqing took a beauty back to rest, and the ministers also dispersed.

An Changqing went out with Xiao Zhige, but met An Zhike and Li on the road. Before they were late, they didn’t even bother to talk to An Zhike. I’m on the thrush now, but I can’t pretend I haven’t seen it.

An Changqing stepped forward to see the ceremony: “Father, mother.”

When An Zhike saw him, his eyes were not the eyes, the nose was not the nose, and he said “um”. Instead, Li responded with a smile, and Wen Wan said, “You are not here at the banquet today. Several ladies have heard that Xian Yu has retired, and they are all asking.”

“There are a few mothers in it who look pretty good and want to ask the princess.”

An Changqing raised her eyebrows, but she didn’t believe that Li would be so kind to pick An Xianyu’s husband-in-law: “Oh? How many are there?”

Li said in a whisper.

Several children are indeed good looking at their family history, but An Changqing knows from the impression of the previous life that these Lis are talking about cats and dogs all day long, and go to the brothel and restaurant.

“It’s hard for my mother (fuck cao) to pick out the few who are all trousers.” An Changqing said without a smile.

Li smiled and said, “Which family’s son doesn’t like to play? When you get married, you will naturally take care of it.”

An Zhike on the side snorted coldly: “I told you not to (fuck cao), the princess has a big idea now. Even my sister’s marriage has to be held in her hands.”

Not to be outdone, An Changqing sneered: “I don’t care. If you have another Zhang Junshu and Li Junshu, who should Yu’er complain about? I don’t want Yu’er to marry prominently. I just want to find a husband who can protect her. Nothing. If the mother is not free, she doesn’t have to (fuck cao).”

Li’s dignified face was cracked, and An Zhike’s face (color) was even more ugly. He glared at Li and flung his sleeves away.

The necks of the people around faintly watching the excitement were stretched out old, and when they met Xiao Zhige’s cold eyes, they hurriedly retracted them, pretending to look at the scenery.

The princess who was not far away saw this scene, her expression was curbed, and she walked towards the two of them. The princess was twenty years old and was a very beautiful beauty. Seeing her coming, An Changqing quickly saluted.

The prince said with a smile: “You don’t need to be polite. I thought I could talk to the princess today, but I didn’t expect the princess to go with the second brother.”

An Changqing didn’t know what medicine she sold in her gourd, so she smiled: “The prince is afraid that I will disturb the wife’s Yaxing.”

The crown prince turned her eyes, glanced at him, and said, “As the eldest wife, I did not bring a meeting ceremony when I saw it for the first time. When the crown prince said that the prince liked the snow plum wine at the banquet, I asked someone to prepare some.” He took a small basket from the maid behind him and handed it to An Changqing.

An Changqing thanked her, but she wondered what she said, “Listen to the prince…”.

What is the relationship between this and the prince?

When the two of you came to me, the princess turned and left.

An Changqing carried the small wine basket, her eyebrows twisted like twists. When he was on his carriage, the hot potato generally threw the small basket aside, and asked Xiao Zhige inexplicably, “What does the crown prince mean?”

What do you do to mention the prince? And why does the prince know that he likes to drink this wine?

Seeing that he could not wait to toss the wine, Xiao Zhige’s face (color), who was cold before he got up, eased a little. His eyes were gloomy and he said: “The prince is good (color), I like to collect all (color) beauties the most.”

An Changqing didn’t understand it at first: “Can’t tell? I still heard people say that he is very affectionate with the princess.”

Xiao Zhige sneered: “He hid well, and he was covered by the princess. Since no one knows.”

What An Changqing had to say, but suddenly understood. Suddenly, the whole face was crumpled, and he couldn’t talk: “You mean… the prince… he… fell in love with me?”

Xiao Zhige lowered his eyes to look at him, and did not answer directly, but said: “In the future, stay away from the prince. He has a sinister mind.”

An Changqing’s face was disgusting, and when she looked at the wine the prince gave, she felt goose bumps. He picked up the small basket and threw it out disgustingly: “I will never drink this wine again.”

Thinking about it makes people feel sick.

The author has something to say: here: vomit, hurry up and watch her husband wash his eyes.

Counseling:… (The corners of the mouth rise wildly
