Chapter 102 Bonfire Dinner
"How about it? Are you still satisfied with my gift?"
Yoongzuo had been stunned by this series of big cakes. It was not until Emperor Yuan'an asked a question that he suddenly woke up, knelt down on one knee, and bowed deeply: "My son thanked my father for his reward! Long live the father!"
Emperor Yuan An laughed: "This sentence sounds good! Well, when you celebrated your grandmother's birthday, I heard that you once said that the grandmother's grandmother's thousand years of thousands of years of thousands of years of thousands of years of thousands of years of thousands of years of thousands of years of thousands of years of thousands of years of years of thousands of years of years of thousands of years of years of thousands of years of years of thousands of years of years of thousands of years of years of years of thousands of years of years of years of thousands of years of years of years of thousands of years of years of years of history, and I didn't know where I learned it. I didn't expect that I could have it too! Okay, get up! Do your work well and try to be a general, don't let my expectations down!"
"Yes!" Yoongzuo stood up and finally smiled. He had heard his father say earlier that he would give him a big gift after the Holy Birthday Day. Unexpectedly, he gave him a thousand-person personal guard. This gift was very much in line with his wishes.
Princess Zhiling exclaimed softly: "It turns out that it is such a heavy reward. Half of the bounty is used as startup capital to recruit young guards. No wonder the fifth brother tried his best to fight! The news about Concubine De is so well-informed!"
Fu Xuechen was complicated in his heart. In the past, there were rumors about the Sixth Prince being expected to be the General King by Emperor Yuan's Emperor. Unexpectedly, Emperor Yuan's Emperor himself confirmed it himself today. He did have the intention to make Yoongzuo a powerful general, but at the same time, it also means that Yoongzuo lost the qualification to compete for the throne.
However, is it worth losing the right to compete for the throne? The first queen of Yuan left behind two legitimate sons: the eldest prince and the second prince. The current queen also has a legitimate prince: the fourth prince. At present, all these legitimate princes are alive. How can other princes be qualified to compete for the throne? Instead of thinking, it is better to book a position as the leading prince in real power first.
The hunting competition ended and the reward was paid. Then, Emperor An of Yuan announced that tonight's bonfire banquet, everyone would contribute all their gains today, and would be served by the imperial chef and have a banquet together.
After the arrangement was made, Emperor Yuan'an returned to the imperial tent first to rest, and everyone dispersed one after another. Many people surrounded the Sixth Prince and congratulated each other.
While Fu Xuechen was paying attention to Yoongzuo, he did not forget to look for the figure of the eldest prince. She found that the eldest prince still had a dull expression. He didn't know whether he had always been unwilling to care about everything outside the world or whether the sixth prince had received a special reward, so he was not surprised.
When they returned to the princess camp to wait for the dinner to begin, the girls gathered in the open space in front of the camp to drink water and chat. Cui Xiaoyue smiled and said: "I didn't expect that the Sixth Prince is very good at speaking. The Empress Dowager is a thousand years old, long live the emperor, long live the emperor! It sounds so praising, the emperor likes to listen!"
Fu Xuechen was sweating profusely. This was actually what she learned from film and television dramas in her previous life. She joked that she taught Yoongzuo to please his grandmother before the Holy Birthday. Unexpectedly, Yoongzuo really dared to use it, and even applied it to the emperor.
When she thought of the three leaders of the Darong Empire in this time and space, the empress, and the empress dowager had all come to this trick. Everyone shouted these two sentences wherever she passed, and she felt goose bumps on her arms.
Emperor Yuan'an wouldn't let someone really spread this sentence and use it, right? No, right?
Before long, the dinner began, several bonfires rose around the camp. Emperor Yuan An and the important officials he brought surrounded, several young princes also surrounded, and several girls on the princess' side also surrounded.
There was no singing and dancing, only drinking orders. Emperor An of Yuan didn't care about his children, and talked with his court officials there, drank lively, and burst into laughter from time to time.
Except for the eldest prince, the second prince and the third prince all had errands in the court. These two adult princes were mixed by Emperor Yuan'an and listened more and talked less, smiling, and occasionally accepted teasing or praise from court officials. This made the other young princes a little envious and their eyes were projected towards them from time to time.
Fu Xuechen was still a little worried about Fu Yuchen at first, but after paying attention to the past several times, he didn't find any mistakes. Fu Yuchen seemed to adapt very well and never called her for help. Later, the princes also played text games and started drinking. The scene gradually became lively, and no one would notice that there was something wrong with Fu Yuchen.
As for the eldest prince, he was still so immersed in his own world. No one talked to him, so he ate and drank by himself. Even though the seat was noisy and alone, no one would break the tranquility around him.
After letting go of his worries, Fu Xuechen discovered that the night sky of this era is really bright!
A bright moon is in the sky, with stars facing each other in the distance, silver light pouring down the ground, reflecting the lake surface, the brightness of the open ground on the ground is almost as bright as that of the street lights in later generations, but the dark places are also really dark, and you can't see your fingers.
Only the history before the Qin and Han Dynasties was consistent with what she knew in the past life, and the history afterwards was completely different. Now there is another incident like the rebirth of the eldest prince, and in addition to her time traveling through Fu Xuechen...
She was confused, sometimes wondering if she had a mental problem, everything in front of her was full of hallucinations, sometimes wondering if she was wearing books, and she went into a certain book world that she had never read, and sometimes wondering if she was a time traveler, did she also have golden fingers or systems? But these things were not paid?
"Or, let's play a word game too? The loser will be punished for drinking." Cui Xiaoyue suddenly suggested.
Princess Zhiling was a little moved: "How to play? If it is too difficult, I won't do it."
"Just keep the words in line! Princess, start with no limit on a poem or a word, and then the person who is the turn is the first character of the previous poem. We keep the words in line and say the source of the poem. Whoever can't get it will be punished!" Cui Xiaoyue quickly gave a game plan, which is very popular among literati.
Princess Zhiling agreed, thought for a while, and spoke in a poem: "If you listen to your words, you will be right! It comes from "The Book of Songs"."
On her right is Cui Xiaoyue, and Cui Xiaoyue immediately followed: "Song of wine! From "Short Songs"."
Let’s go further and see Xia Qinglian: “Singing, singing to express one’s aspirations, comes from “The Turtle’s Longevity.”
It was Fu Rushuang on the left side of Princess Zhiling: "The aspiration has not sunk, it comes from "The Resentful Ci"."
When Fu Xuechen arrived, she was stunned for a moment, and couldn't remember any poem that started with "sinking". People in this time and space know that there were only two appropriate sentences in her mind, namely Li Qingzhao's "Intoxicated but not knowing the way home", and Liu Yuxi's "Thousands of sails passing by the sunken boat", but these two people are not there in this time and space!
"Sister! You cheated me!" Fu Xuechen admitted defeat and had to give himself a glass of wine.
Princess Zhiling, Cui Xiaoyue, and Xia Qinglian were all clapping and laughing. Fu Rushuang looked at her sister speechlessly: "There is "Seven Miscellaneous Poems in Wei" and "Shengs and Worry to Make You Old", and the Han Dynasty's "Answer of Qin Jia's Poems" has "Still the House", and the simplest thing is, "Sentimental to the House" in Wei Cao's "Short Songs" also has "Sentimental to the present."
Fu Xuechen: “…”
She was a little bit crying but didn't belong to this time and space. She didn't have the classic Tang and Song poetry, and was not familiar with the poems before the Qin and Han dynasties. How could she beat these native girls in front of her?!
