Turbulent Times Chapter 798: Annoyed the Queen

Wang Junlin took Shen Guoer, Changsun Sheng, Pei Shiju and other familiar veterans to exchange greetings for a while, then the hall doors slowly opened, and guests poured into the three halls from all directions. If there are too many seats in one hall, it will be divided into three halls. According to the official position and title, the distribution will be divided from the first hall to the two second halls.

Wang Junlin is not only in the first hall, but also next to the emperor, the princes, the generals, and the chief officials of the six departments of the three provinces.

The grand hall is magnificent, with giant trees supporting a wide dome. During the performance, the two sides are filled with couches for one person. From ancient times to the present, the banquet system has been divided into meals, and each person has a set of tableware. Only after the mid-Tang Dynasty, when high-legged seats appeared, did the shared meal system gradually appear.

In the main hall, groups of maids shuttle back and forth between the couches with food trays. Dozens of eunuchs are guiding the way for the ministers. The seats are seated according to the number. Generally, the male guests are on the left and the female guests are on the right. At this time, the ministers who found their seats sat down to rest one after another. Many ministers waited outside for nearly half an hour. Their mouths were dry and their legs were sore and weak. As soon as they sat down, they poured themselves a cup of tea and drank it in one breath. Dry.

Wang Junlin also found his place to sit down, Shen Guoer was standing behind him, Pei Shiju was on his left, Chen Sansi was on his right, Han Qinhu, Changsun Sheng and backer Wang Yanglin were unwell and did not come to participate.

There are five or six pieces of tableware on the table, including silver chopsticks with carved patterns, a four-curved silver plate with a double fish pattern, a top-quality celadon crabapple-style bowl from a Yue kiln, and a yellow-green-brown colored bird-pattern bowl from a Changsha kiln. There is also a thin-necked, long-bodied, big-bellied silver jug ​​and two Xing kiln white porcelain wine cups brought by merchants from the Western Regions. There has always been a saying in the Sui Dynasty that “Xing porcelain is like snow, and Yue porcelain is like ice”.

Although the tableware was exquisite, what Wang Junlin was thinking at the moment was that he had angered Yang Hao so much today. Although it was the result of the other party’s first intention to humiliate him and his counterattack, it was actually a plan of his own.

Recently, Yang Hao was taught by the woman in the mansion to be smarter, he acted more cautiously, and even learned to win over the ministers. Do something stupid and end up stupid yourself. The reason for this is that Wang Junlin didn’t want such an enemy to exist in secret. Whether it was Yu Shi, Yang Su, Yang Liang, or Gao Ying, it could be seen that he didn’t like to take precautions, but liked to take the initiative to attack. Destroy enemies who threaten you with life and death in advance.

At this time, a servant stepped forward and bowed to Wang Junlin and said, “My lord, Your Highness the Crown Prince welcomes you.”

This servant, Wang Junlin, knew him. He was the person next to Prince Yang Zhao. His name was Zhou Qingsong. But in fact, the distance is very long, and it is not a straight road. It is winding in the middle, and there are many courtyards.

It took them about half an incense stick before they walked around to the other side of the left side hall and walked into a gate. Zhao’s interview with Wang Junlin was considered a secret matter, so it was placed in the second hall.

Wang Junlin followed Zhou Qingsong to a room where there were several eunuchs standing at the door. A moment later, an **** came out and said to Wang Junlin, “Please, my lord, Your Highness is waiting for you inside!”

Wang Junlin walked into the room, and saw Yang Zhao leaning on a couch, his complexion was not very good, and his spirit was relatively listless, obviously his health was not very good recently.

“Your Majesty is here to meet His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!”

Wang Junlin saluted while talking, Yang Zhao waved his hand and said, “What are you being polite to me, come and give me a seat!”

Wang Junlin was indeed impolite. After sitting down, he asked with concern: “Your Highness doesn’t look very well. Could it be that your body is itchy.”

Yang Zhao smiled wryly and said: “My body has never been good, so let’s not talk about this. Let me talk about you first. You had a conflict with King Qi in front of the palace gate before. After learning about it, His Majesty gave him a big blow.” To reprimand, King Qi went to his mother’s place to cry and complained, I don’t know what he said, now I got the news, the mother’s mother’s place is very angry with you.”

Wang Junlin frowned when he heard the words, but he hadn’t thought of this before, and Yang Guang’s love for Empress Xiao can be seen from the number of concubines in the harem and the number of princes and daughters. If the queen has nothing to do and speaks ill of Yang Guang in front of him, it is likely to cause a lot of trouble. Since ancient times, the effect of the wind on the pillow ear is still very obvious.

This can’t be blamed on Wang Junlin, he didn’t think carefully, thinking that Yang Hao is also twenty years old, as a prince, he went to his mother and cried to his mother after suffering a loss, this is obviously a child’s trick, okay?

Thinking of this, Wang Junlin gave a wry smile and said, “Who would have thought that His Royal Highness King Qi would go to the empress and cry like a child.”

Yang Zhao also sighed, and said to Wang Junlin worriedly: “You don’t know my younger brother, he has been unscrupulous since he was a child. If it weren’t for your supernatural powers, he would have tried his best to kill you. Now He has nothing to do with you, it is nothing to go to the mother and cry about his character, the most important thing is that the father has always respected the mother, so you must not be careless.”

“Thank you for the reminder, Your Highness, I will be careful.”

In fact, Wang Junlin also had a headache at this time. He was not afraid of any open or hidden arrows from Yang Hao, but Empress Xiao was Yang Hao’s mother and Yang Zhao’s biological mother. There is a bottom line and principles, not to mention that Empress Xiao is in the harem, there are countless masters in the palace, the palace is heavily guarded, Empress Xiao is not so active, let alone empress Xiao, Yang Guang’s crazy anger is enough to burn the whole world .

Yang Zhao looked at Wang Junlin’s frown and said, “You don’t have to worry too much. I’ll look for an opportunity to explain to the Queen Mother. The Queen Mother probably won’t speak ill of you in front of the Emperor Father because of this matter.” !”

There is not much confidence in Yang Zhao’s words. Obviously he also knows that his mother has always doted on Yang Hao, and Wang Junlin knows that no matter how virtuous and reasonable a woman is, if her own children are involved, the mentality of protecting the calf It will only make him completely partial to his son, presumably Wang Junlin is already a despicable villain in Empress Xiao’s heart.

“Thank you, Your Highness!” Regardless of whether it was useful or not, Wang Junlin stood up to express his gratitude to Yang Zhao. At this moment, an **** at the door reported, “Your Highness, the empress sent someone over to ask Qin Angong to see her.” /

Yang Zhao smiled wryly, Wang Junlin’s face remained unchanged, but he sneered in his heart, thinking that the empress was so impatient that she wanted to vent her anger on her son’s behalf.
