Chapter 274 Why is His Highness’ emotional journey so bumpy?
"Announce me? Now?"
At this time, she had just gone to court, so why was she so urgent? Moreover, she had just met him yesterday, so how could she...
Xiwang was slightly out of breath, and he held his breath and bowed to Mu Yun: "The Xichang envoy came to Beijing at midnight yesterday, and today after the morning meeting, out of courtesy, His Majesty held a state banquet in the Hall of Supreme Harmony at noon. All ministers and princes are required to attend, Your Highness, we must prepare ourselves well."
Mu Yun was a little stunned for a moment. The Xichang envoy was not allowed to enter Dashuo by his father yesterday. How come they arrived in the capital last night in just a few hours? Could it be that they couldn't fly?
Moreover, such an important state banquet requires serious preparation by the Ministry of Ceremonies, so how could it be in such a hasty manner?Isn't it common sense?
What the hell is Zhuo Lingchu doing!
A chance encounter suddenly sparked interest: "Forsythia, the opportunity to practice has come again. Change your makeup and hair. Since Your Highness is about to enter the palace, you should change your hair into a regular half-updo!"
Forsythia geared up, "I'm ready!"
Mu Yun broke out in a cold sweat. Sisters, please spare your lives!
......
Even Emperor Pingren couldn't figure out what the second prince of Xichang was up to.Overnight, a mission suddenly appeared out of thin air in Shangjing. Since early in the morning, officials from Honglu Temple and the Ministry of Rites were busy. Today in the morning, the topic was all about the mission from Xichang. He couldn't understand. The matter was not discussed for a long time in the morning and no result was reached.
However, what Prime Minister Gao Wei Gao said seems to make some sense.
He said: "Could it be that the second prince of Xichang has been hanging around in Shangjing City before?"
As soon as these words came out, I was extremely frightened when I thought about it carefully.
When all the powerful ministers thought that there were people from Xichang with ulterior motives hidden in the vast crowd of people in the capital city, their hearts were filled with frost.
Xichang people are so bold!
When thinking about Cheng Zhi who committed suicide in the prison yesterday, it is hard not to think about the Cheng family's previous plans with the people of Xichang to build plank roads openly and secretly to Chen Cang.Something happened to the Cheng family, and the people of Xichang are causing trouble again. Do the people of Xichang still want to kill me?Moreover, the leader of this mission is the famous Second Prince of Xichang, the "God of War". Once this person's name is placed in front of them, who in the world will not be afraid of him?
Emperor Pingren slapped the dragon chair hard, "The ambition of the wolf is obvious. The soldiers will stop it, and the water will cover it. The Xichang envoy dares to openly challenge us in Dashuo. We should deal with it calmly. The land under our feet is like that of all courtiers." How can we allow these foreigners to come here and run wild in Dashuo, which has been guarded for hundreds of years? Since they dare to come, then we dare to hold a Hongmen Banquet!"
Emperor Heiren's impassioned words aroused the indignation of all the courtiers.The Imperial Academy of the Cabinet made plans, the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Internal Affairs prepared banquet halls, the Imperial City Division of the Forbidden Army deployed guards, and the six ministries and three provinces were all busy in their own way.
Tianyang Palace is not the only one with arrows on its strings. Shangjing City is heavily guarded for a while. Under the calm appearance as usual, undercurrents are surging everywhere inside. The bustling teahouse and restaurant street, the fragrant Qinguan Chulou Lane can be seen everywhere. Officers and soldiers with solemn expressions were patrolling, and the entire sky above Shangjing City seemed to be shrouded in a nervous fog.
Mu Yun, who was dressed up by the maids, entered the palace together with Qian Yu. Now Qian Yu was also a person of status, and the carriages for servants in the mansion were fully equipped. However, in order to chat more, the two sisters still rode in the same carriage together. Entered the palace.
The carriage just reached the main road and stopped slowly.
"Your Highness, Pianpian, it's me."
It was Sun Bingzhi's voice.
By chance, they opened the curtain and looked at Sun Bingzhi, who was riding a tall horse outside the carriage, and asked them what they were doing to stop their carriage.
"You should be careful when you go to the palace this time. Choose a seat close to the guards." Sun Bingzhi turned the horse's head with the reins in his hand. "I have some important things to tell my subordinates to do. I will enter the palace later."
By chance, I met Sun Bingzhi who was nagging him, so he waved his hand to tell him to go about his business quickly, "Okay, okay, why don't we just come to the Xichang Mission? I'll scare you."
Sun Bingzhi had no choice but to meet her by chance across the void. He half-squinted his eyes and told her to behave well in the palace.
"If you have any questions, please contact Brother Qin Yuan. He is on duty in the palace and can protect you as soon as possible."
By chance, Sun Bingzhi rolled his eyes silently, said "Okay" to him, then lowered the curtain and told the coachman to move on.
He sat down and caressed his uneasy chest, and said to Mu Yun: "Looking at my grandson looking like he is facing a powerful enemy, I am also a little flustered. Your Highness, the people of Xichang are not really going to fight with our Dashuo, are they? "
Just as Mu Yun was about to express her condolences, she happened to meet him again and exclaimed, "Oh, Mr. Zhuo is from Xichang. Could it be that he is one of the secret chessmen left by the second prince of Xichang in Dashuo? Aren't we all the accomplices of the Xichang people in conquering Dashuo?" ?”
"Oh my God, why is His Highness's emotional journey so bumpy? He is surrounded by ministers who are either plotting rebellion, or they are the craftsmen of the enemy. Why is this thief so ignorant..."
"Stop it!" Mu Yun interrupted the actor's Qing Yu's words while holding his twitching forehead, "You can relax, Zhuo Lingchu is by no means a Xichang fine artist."
Mu Yun didn't have time to tell Qiao Yu about Zhuo Lingchu's true identity. She originally wanted to confess everything in the carriage so that Qiao Yu could be prepared, but now it seemed that it would be too late to scare her with a twist at the luncheon. Well worth looking forward to.
Soon, the two of them were introduced into the main hall of Taihe by the palace officials.
In the palace, not only the princes and ministers, but also the relatives and family members, everyone looked solemn, as if they were facing a formidable enemy, and there was no relaxation and joy like at the past banquets.
Mu Yun took a deep breath and secretly cursed her man.
Zhuo Lingchu, look at the good deeds you have done, why did you create such a panic-stricken battle?
He raised his eyes and scanned around the people at the banquet, and saw many familiar faces.
As the imperial guard, Qin Yuan stood on the side of the dragon chair with a solemn expression.The moment Mu Yun entered the palace, the two of them had a tacit understanding of each other's eyes. Qin Yuan nodded to her imperceptibly, indicating to his sister that he had everything she wanted here, so she could put her heart back in her belly.
Mu Yun just gave him a faint look: There is really no need to maintain a fighting stance.
At the banquet, according to custom, men and women sit separately.Concubine De from the harem and a pair of children, Prime Minister Gao and his wife and their daughter Gao Ningxin, Princess Leru and Princess Yachun from the Yong'an Hou family temporarily stayed in Shangjing due to their daughter's happy event, Governor Liu and his wife, and many acquaintances were nearby. In front of you.
Oh, Liu Baizhi is here too. It must be the second brother Qin Xi. Because Mu Yun has returned to Beijing safely, he can finally concentrate on studying behind closed doors and has no time to play with his newlywed wife. Therefore, Liu Baizhi is too bored, so he can't follow her. The parents came to the palace to join in the fun.
The visit of a mission from an enemy country was something worthy of being recorded in the annals of history. Of course Mu Yun and these irresponsible sisters wanted to witness it with their own eyes.Besides, although the Xichang envoy is very ambitious, how many times can such a few people do anything in Tianyang Palace? If the Xichang thieves who are undercurrent outside make any noise in Shangjing City, the safest place in the entire world must be heavily guarded. In the palace.
