Chapter 47-Royal Palace Banquet, Drunken Indulgence! (New book!)
It was night.
The palace was unusually lively today.
On the birthday of the princess, he married the princess.
Zhu Youjiao ordered the ministers to hold a banquet in the palace.
A banquet was held in the palace.
However, this meal would not be for nothing.
Wei Zhongxian had already given Zhu Youxiao an idea.
The reason why he had invited the ministers for a meal was to receive gifts.
That's right, he was receiving gifts.
This was not the first time Wei Zhongxian had done this.
Don't think that this money is too little.
Although this sum of money was not a lot, it was all placed in the pocket of Emperor Tianqi Zhu Youxiao, not the national treasury of the Ming Dynasty.
The emperor's private treasury and the Ming Dynasty's national treasury were two different things.
All of the tax revenue of the Ming Dynasty went into the national treasury.
It had nothing to do with the emperor's private treasury, so if the emperor wanted to spend money, he had to get it himself.
In order to please Zhu Youxiao, Wei Zhongxian helped Zhu Youxiao come up with various ways to collect money.
Hundreds of ministers were having a banquet in the palace.
But the most important group of people.
For example, Chief Ye Xianggao, the ministers of the six ministries, the cabinet members, Wei Zhongxian, and the commander of the Brocade Guard were all at the banquet.
Of course, this included one of the main characters of the day, Qi Zanyuan, who was about to become the commandant of the imperial family.
However, Qi Zanyuan's seat was at the back.
Zhu Youxiao sat in the main seat in the middle.
Wei Zhongxian didn't sit down. Instead, he stood two steps away from Zhu Youxiao.
On the left were the civil and military officials.
On the right was Zhu Youxiao's harem.
The Holy Madam Ke Yinyue was undoubtedly sitting in the first seat.
The next one was Empress Zhang Yan.
After that, there were more than ten imperial consorts and concubines.
Lu Yu stood not far from the Holy Madam Ke Yinyue.
This was the first time Lu Yu had seen Empress Yi 'an, Zhang Yan, who was known as one of the Five Cleopatra.
A few days ago, when he heard from Wei Chao that Prince Xin Zhu Youjian had a crush on Zhang Yan, Lu Yu thought it was just gossip.
Now that he looked at it again, he finally understood why Zhu Youjian had a crush on his sister-in-law.
Empress Yi 'an, one of the Five Cleopatra, indeed lived up to her reputation.
Compared to Holy Madam Ke Yinyue, Empress Yi 'an was even more beautiful.
His facial features were extremely exquisite, as if they had been carved by the gods.
Her figure was curvy and exquisite, giving off an elegant charm.
Her skin was as fair as jade.
Her fingers were slender and her legs were long.
The light golden dress wrapped around her slender waist.
Her makeup was light yet luxurious.
Sitting beside Ke Yinyue, he did not show any signs of losing his composure.
Ke Yinyue was like a ripe red rose, enchanting and enchanting.
As for Empress Yi 'an, Zhang Yan, she was the peony of the king of flowers. She was graceful, elegant, dignified, and charming.
Both of them had their own merits and were different.
Compared to Ke Yinyue and Zhang Yan, the rest of the imperial consorts were slightly inferior.
But it was also a hundred flowers blooming.
Lu Yu stood behind the many concubines. He could see the ministers sitting opposite him stealing glances at the imperial consorts sitting opposite him from time to time.
Especially Prince Xin Zhu Youjian, he always looked at Zhang Yan.
Halfway through the banquet, Emperor Tianqi Zhu Youxiao went to the back hall to rest because he was too drunk.
The banquet was naturally hosted by Wang Zhu Youjian.
After Emperor Tianqi left, the atmosphere clearly became much livelier.
The officials also relaxed a little.
Qi Zanyuan, who felt that he was about to reach the peak of his life, drank a lot.
The wine offered by the royal family was definitely much better than the ones outside.
After three rounds of wine, the dishes are more delicious.
Empress Zhang Yan stood up.
"Your Highness, BenGong is a bit tired and wants to go out for some fresh air.”
After saying that, Zhang Yan bowed slightly in Ke Yinyue's direction.
Then, he turned around and walked towards the back garden with the two maids.
Ever since the Heaven Enlightenment Emperor Zhu Youxiao left, Zhu Youjian's gaze had been on Zhang Yan.
When he heard that Zhang Yan was leaving, his eyes revealed a hint of sadness.
"Royal Sister-in-law, slow down." King Xin Zhu Youjian got up to see him off.
Coincidentally, Qi Zanyuan, who might have had too much to drink, also stood up.
Then, he let the eunuch take him away. It looked like he had to pee.
Lu Yu, who had his head lowered, immediately raised his head, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.
At this moment, Consort Rong Ren Ying, who was sitting at the back, saw Qi Zanyuan stand up and was about to stand up as well.
However, he was stopped by Lu Yu's gaze.
Lu Yu waved his hand gently, indicating for Concubine Rong to sit down.
Consort Rong, Ren Ying, who did not understand, could only sit down again according to Lu Yu's instructions.
"Saint Madam, I'm going out to get some fresh air. I'm tired from standing.”Lu Yu said.
Ke Yinyue nodded.”
..........
In the back garden.
After Empress Zhang Yan walked out of the banquet hall, she came to a fake mountain.
"Empress niangniang, the night is cold, niangniang should return to the palace.”The palace maid behind Zhang Yan reminded.
However, Zhang Yan was staring at the bright moonlight in the sky in a daze.
The palace maid saw that Zhang Yan did not react, so she could only take a white cloak and put it on Zhang Yan.
On the other side, Qi Zanyuan, who had been led to the toilet by a eunuch, was so drunk that he could barely stand.
After releasing himself in the toilet, he walked out in a daze.
However, after leaving the room, Qi Zanyuan looked left and right for the eunuch who had just brought him here, but he could not find him.
"Eh?"
"Where is he?"
Qi Zanyuan rubbed his eyes in a daze.
In the midst of the blur, a figure walked over.
"Sir, please come this way."
Lu Yu, who had changed into an ordinary eunuch's uniform, extended his hand to lead the way for Qi Zanyuan.
Qi Zanyuan was relieved to see that someone had come.
"En, lead the way for this Prince Consort.”
"Little eunuch, do you know who I am?”
"It won't be long before I become the Prince Consort, the husband of your Princess Suiping.”
Lu Yu walked in front, and the smile on his face grew wider.
As they walked, Lu Yu led Qi Zanyuan to a rockery.
In the distance, he could see Empress Zhang Yan.
"Yi, you're bringing this for this Prince Consort?"
Bang!
Before Qi Zanyuan could finish his sentence…
The back of his neck was slashed by Lu Yu.
If Lu Yu had not restrained his strength, Qi Zanyuan's neck would have been cut off.
Qi Zanyuan did not even make a sound before he collapsed onto the ground and fainted.
Lu Yu dragged Qi Zanyuan behind the rockery.
Then, he chanted in his heart.
"Activate the super disguise technique and transform into Qi Zanyuan!”
In the next second, a black light enveloped Lu Yu.
Two Qi Zanyuans suddenly appeared at the scene.
One of them was real, but he had already fallen to the ground.
One of them was naturally Lu Yu.
Lu Yu glanced at Empress Zhang Yan, who was not far away, and the corners of his mouth curled up into an evil smile.
He then looked at Qi Zanyuan on the ground.
"Kid, you're lucky."
"I don't know if I can marry the princess, but I think I can tease the empress.”
