Volume 31 Entering the Capital is as Deep as the Sea] Chapter 22 The Princess's Night Banquet (II)

Chapter 22: The Princess's Night Banquet (II)

The birthday banquet is located in the Bihan Pavilion of the Huā Garden after the princess's mansion, which is actually a lake pavilion in the inner lake, built on the water surface, built for sandalwood, four masks of light yarn to prevent mosquitoes, the pavilion is several zhang wide, people sit in the pavilion, the sandalwood itself is mosquito-proof, Yang Lihua ordered to roll up the gauze cover, everyone is in the pavilion, only feel the breeze blowing, cool and pleasant.

The wine and dishes have been served, the amount is very small, two or three plates in front of each person, the golden pot yù jade plate, the dishes are all jīng beautiful, pleasing to the eye, and people are reluctant to put down.

The pavilion is circular in shape, and everyone sits in a circle, and the seating arrangement is painstakingly arranged by the host, so that the children cannot go to the main table, and several children sit alone at a row of small tables, leaning against the main table.

The male guest and the NV guest sit on both sides, because the seat is round, in the end, the male guest and the NV guest are adjacent, and the male guest is only three people, Yang Zhao sits in the middle, and the NV guest is Yuwen Shi on the side of the NV guest, and the NV guest is the Nanyang princess on the male side, that is, they are the husband and wife sitting together.

Yang Yuanqing sat on the side of the child, but next to him sat Yang Lihua's grandson NV Li Jingxun, Li Jingxun's age is just between adults and children, according to the generation, she should sit with the children, but Yang Lihua arranged her at the main table and sat next to Yang Yuanqing.

Li Jingxun looks like her father, she is very tall, she wears a blue sè striped dress, and on her fair neck she wears a jīng beautiful and gorgeous gem-encrusted gold necklace, which is her most beloved thing, although she is young, she is already slim, but very thin, like a thin young bamboo.

The reason why she sat down and sat next to Yang Yuanqing was because Yang Lihua had good intentions, and she hoped that Yang Yuanqing would wait for her grandson to marry her when he was thirteen years old.

"General Yang, I toast you with a glass of wine, and I salute you for the country to defend the enemy and defend the frontier."

Li Jingxun picked up a glass of wine and saluted Yang Yuanqing, a little embarrassed between his eyebrows and eyes, lowered his head, and his face was slightly red.

"Thank you, girl!"

Yang Yuanqing picked up the wine glass, smiled and touched her glass, he found that Li Jingxun's physique was very similar to her mother, she was very thin, in folk terms, it was not the appearance of a wangzi, Yang Lihua only gave birth to an NV child, which can also be understood as being snubbed by the emperor's husband, but Yuwen Eying also only gave birth to an NV child, which is a problem of physique.

Yuwen Eying's physique is very weak, and her son Li Jingxun's physique is even weaker, not the appearance of longevity, Yang Yuanqing couldn't help but feel some pity for her in his heart, but Li Jingxun drank a glass of wine, and his face turned even redder, as if drinking this glass of wine meant something big, which made Yang Yuanqing a little embarrassed.

Li Jingxun is only eight years old this year, ten years younger than Yang Yuanqing, so that when she and Yang Yuanqing sat together, Yang Yuanqing didn't realize the deep meaning of this seating arrangement at all, and only a few NV people realized it with their unique sensitivity.

Crown Princess Wei sat next to today's NV birthday star Yuwen Eying, she took advantage of the gap between Yang Lihua's arrangement of the dishes, and asked Yuwen Eying in a low voice: "Does the imperial aunt mean that she wants to give Jingxun to Yang Yuanqing?" ”

Yuwen Eying didn't understand how her mother could think of arranging NV to sit next to Yang Yuanqing, she understood what her mother meant, but NV was still too young, and it would take at least five or six years before she could consider marriage, and now she was still a child, and more importantly, she felt that her mother was a bit wishful thinking, were people willing to wait for Jing Xun?

She knew that her mother liked this Yang Yuanqing very much, and even complained that she married too early, which made her a little crying and laughing, is it that if she likes it, she wants to marry her own NV son, or grandson NV to him?

Yuwen Eying shook her head, "This is not realistic, Jing Xun is still young, and he is not worthy of his age." ”

Crown Princess Wei's mind is delicate, with her unique intuition, she feels that one of Pei's three NVs seems to have a fate with Yang Yuanqing, and it is definitely not Li Jingxun, she is also carefully observing, which one is fate?

Pei Shi San NV sat on the side close to the child, behind Pei You was the youngest son of the prince Yang Zhao, Yang Yu was only five years old, xìng was naughty, he liked Pei You very much, his liking was to catch nòng people, secretly added a little vinegar to her peach wine for a while, and pulled out the hairpin on her hair while she was not paying attention, nòng made Pei You very distressed, extremely annoyed in his heart, but he couldn't get out of it, helpless.

At this time, Pei Xi'er lightly touched her arm and looked at Yang Yuanqing, Pei You also noticed that Li Jingxun took a wine glass and was toasting Yang Yuanqing.

Pei You was so upset that Yang Yu was caught by Yang Yu, and she didn't notice Li Jingxun's subtlety in the seating arrangement at all, but she was also a smart NV person after all, under Pei Xi'er's reminder, she also saw that Pei You was extremely uncomfortable in her heart, she saw Li Jingxun toasting Yang Yuanqing with low eyebrows, and secretly snorted in her heart, "A yellow máo girl who has not dried up knows how to please men?" ’

She secretly hated Yang Yuanqing's tendency to be inflammatory, and the little lady who had not yet grown up, just because he was the grandson of Princess Leping, he was eye-to-eye with her, and the man was really disgusting.

Pei Minqiu sat on the other side of Pei Xi'er, she also saw Li Jingxun toasting Yang Yuanqing, but her mentality was different from the other two NVs of the Pei family, she looked at Yang Yuanqing with a smile, with a hint of banter in the corners of her eyes, she felt Yang Yuanqing's embarrassment, this is really interesting, Yang Yuanqing is willing to be Princess Leping's grandson NV son-in-law?

At this time, Yang Yuanqing quietly looked at her, his eyes were full of helplessness, and his innocent expression made Pei Minqiu can't help but cover his mouth. He laughed out loud.

Pei Minqiu's laughter made everyone's eyes look at her, Pei You felt that this was very rude, she glared at Pei Minqiu, and apologized to everyone: "My sister is still childlike, rude behavior, I hope you will forgive me!" ”

Yang Lihua also likes Pei Minqiu very much, likes her natural simplicity and no pretentiousness, she invited Pei Jiasan to come, to a large extent, she likes Pei Minqiu.

"Minqiu, do you often go out mén?"

Another reason why Yang Lihua likes Pei Minqiu is that she is very healthy, her face is ruddy, cheerful and lively, and she is also very full of spirits, which is completely different from her sick grandson NV, Yang Lihua has always been very worried about Li Jingxun's illness and weakness, she hopes to find a little health secret recipe from Pei Minqiu, how she eats, how to exercise, so that her grandson NV can follow her example and become healthy.

Pei Minqiu Bingxue was smart, she immediately understood what the princess meant, she wanted to know how to make Li Jingxun healthy, so she smiled and said: "Actually, I think I should go out for a walk more, to get close to the nature of mountains and rivers, my body and mind will be healthy, and I will become cheerful, I used to live in the countryside of Wenxi County, and I often went out to play with sisters of the same clan, and adults are not forbidden, if it is possible, I want to go out for an outing in the past two days." ”

Yang Yuanqing laughed, "Tomorrow I want to go hunting with some children of the family, I heard that there are also ladies who travel together, if Miss Pei wants, I invite Miss Pei to travel together." ”

Pei Xi'er quietly pinched Pei Minqiu, meaning that she couldn't easily agree, but Pei You had a trace of jealousy in her heart, but Yang Yuanqing's public invitation couldn't be her turn, and before Pei Minqiu could speak, she preemptively said: "General Yang's kindness is understood, but my sister is not good at riding horses, and following the hunt, I'm afraid it will become a drag, so she won't go." ”

"It's okay if you're not good at riding, my horse is very sensitive and easy to control, I can give the horse to Miss Pei to ride, the key is whether Miss Pei wants to go or not."

Yang Yuanqing warmly invited Pei Minqiu, Pei You's heart was even more uncomfortable, she was about to refuse again, but Pei Minqiu pursed her lips and smiled: "If General Yang doesn't think I'm a burden, Minqiu is willing to go hunting with the general." ”

"What a cheerful girl!"

Yang Lihua applauded and laughed, she pointed to her grandson NV Li Jingxun, "Miss Pei, would you like to take Jingxun on a trip?" ”

Pei Minqiu asked Yang Yuanqing with a smile, "If we two NVs who are not good at riding horses go together, will General Yang dislike it?" ”

Yang Yuanqing smiled bitterly, "This seems to be unbearable to me!" ”

There was a burst of laughter in the room, and Pei You secretly regretted it in her heart, in fact, she also wanted to go, but what she said just now was too full, and this turn couldn't be turned.

．．．．．．．

After the family banquet, Yang Lihua arranged a few painting boats for everyone to play, the inner lake on her house covers an area of more than 30 acres, bō sparkling, cool breeze, Pei Jiasan NV and Yang Lihua took a boat, and at Yang Zhao's request, Yang Lihua specially arranged a small boat for Yang Zhao and Yang Yuanqing to sit together.

Inside the small boat, Yang Zhao stared at the water on the lake, and he sighed lowly, "Yuanqing, I have a hunch that the world may be big." ”

"Why did Your Highness say this?"

Yang Zhao shook his head, "I don't know, it's just a hunch, I feel that my father's way of doing things is too rough, impatient, tyrannical, two days ago he told me that the south is the orthodoxy of the Han people, if you want to reverse the situation that the north is strong and the south is weak, it is not enough to rely on a grand canal, it is best to kill all the miscellaneous Hu in the north, drive all the troops controlled by the Guanlong nobles to their lives, and then move a large number of people from the south to the north, so as to completely reverse the trend of Hu Qiang and Han weakness, and the Great Sui can become a dynasty of the Han people." ”

Yang Yuanqing was shocked in his heart, and hurriedly asked, "What will the Holy Lord do?" ”

"He said very vaguely, saying that it was better to start a war, such as Goguryeo and the like, to be a little weaker, and then drive these government soldiers controlled by the Guanlong nobles to death, and then drive Shandong Zahu to death as well, let them all die in Goguryeo, and then move the people of Jiangnan to the north."

Speaking of this, Yang Zhao sighed, "I hope he just says casually, if his father really does this, the situation in the north will inevitably get out of control, those descendants of the six towns will be captured, those Guanlong nobles will not be willing to lose their old capital, and the southern Han people may not appreciate it, the descendants of Chen Liang will also be stupid, and the northern scholars will not support their father, embattled, and the Great Sui Sheji will be destroyed in the hands of his father." ”

Yang Yuanqing was silent, in fact, the situation developed like this, Yang Guang only wanted to be domineering, did not consider the ability of the people in the world to bear, and wanted to change everything overnight, from his construction of the new capital, digging canals, it can be seen that the huge project that others took years or even decades to complete, he completed it in one year, and he never cared about the life and death of the people behind him, he just wanted to toss the Hu and Han people in the north to death.

The assimilation of Hu and Han in the two Jin and Northern Dynasties lasted for hundreds of years, and it was not until the Northern Song Dynasty that it was gradually completed, but Yang Guang wanted to complete the great cause within ten years, and he saw that he could not do it, so he did not hesitate to use extreme means to launch the Goguryeo War, and use the hand of war to destroy the Xianbei and Northern Hu forces, so that the world was great and the Sui lost its deer.

Yang Yuanqing sighed, the wheel of history is slowly moving in the most dangerous direction, but he is powerless to pull the car, the prince also sees this trend, he can't do anything, I'm afraid that except for Yang Guang himself, no one in the world can stop the wheel of the Great Sui Dynasty.

Yang Zhao pondered for a long time and said slowly: "Yuanqing, if you are willing to assist my sons and keep them safe for the rest of their lives, I can bequeath to them, you are my brother, and I order them to treat you as the emperor's uncle." ”

Yang Yuanqing was shocked in his heart, and hurriedly said, "Your Highness, why did you say this?" ”

Yang Zhao smiled sadly, "I hid my father, in fact, I have fainted twice these days, I can feel the changes in my body, my life is not long, the reason why I stay in Luoyang and refuse to go back, I just don't want to die alone, I want to die by my parents' side, Yuanqing, if I die, I will entrust my son to you, you are their uncle!" ”

After speaking, Yang Zhao knelt down in front of Yang Yuanqing and cried silently.
