Although the family banquet in the family garden was held in the evening, as soon as noon passed, the princes, princesses and princesses dressed up.
Well, this does not include a certain prince who was so miserable that he moved the wine vat.
"Hmph, you said I had to move all the wine for tonight's dinner, please forgive me for missing it!" Jiang Yuming angrily put the wine jar on the car and complained in a low voice, "Who would believe it! My second brother is not here , It’s strange that the old man can let me show up!”
Jiang Yuming finally figured it out and became even more angry. If his father's instructions had not been clear and if he had made mistakes again and again, he would have removed his prince and turned him back into a bald prince. He had already gone on strike and ran back to Kyoto!
"Sure enough, I made a mistake in every step! Why should I take advantage of the moment and take a walk with my second child! If I had known this, I would have endured the drinking, and why would I have gotten into a temper with the old man!"
The more Jiang Yuming thought about it, the more he regretted it. He felt like he was regretful.
"My lord, be careful!" The attendant turned around and ran over with a look of horror on his face.
Jiang Yuming, who was still depressed, heard the movement and looked at the people coming from a distance. He was stunned for a moment, then thought of something, and stiffly raised his head and looked to the side.
The wine jars he had just stacked began to vibrate and shake. The most terrifying thing was that every time it shook, more wine jars joined in the shaking.
"Oh, no~~~~~"
"Boom!!!"
…
"What?!" When Emperor Jinghe heard the report that his third son was almost buried in a wine vat, he was really shocked and stood up suddenly with a pale face.
"Your Majesty, don't be surprised! The King of Chu is fine. He was just hit hard by his attendant. When he fell to the ground, his elbow was slightly bruised. The doctors looked at it and they all said that he was just frightened and would be fine after a little rest. recover."
"Oh, that's it!" After receiving the reassurance given by Zheng An, Emperor Jinghe breathed a sigh of relief.
But after calming down, he couldn't help scolding again: "This kid really made me feed him so much that he can't work hard and can't tell the difference between grain and grain! He can't even do such a small thing, how can he expect to do anything big?! Go and tell me this!" Orally, just tell him to lie down in his yard! Don't come out and embarrass yourself!"
…
Jiang Yuming didn't expect that he would be so embarrassed when he fell into the mouth of his father in such a dangerous situation? !
Is there any more love between father and son?
Originally he was so frightened that he lost all his strength and wanted to take a rest; but now, he wanted to rebel and seek reason from his father!
"Your Majesty! You can't do that, Your Majesty!" Seeing his unkind expression, the attendant immediately tried to stop him.
Unexpectedly, Jiang Yuming had expected it, so he turned on his toes and stepped aside, allowing the chamberlain who had just been slightly injured to escape.
"No one can stop me! I want to see my father!" Jiang Yuming shouted.
Shouting like this, he strode outside until he came to Jiuya Pavilion.
Just when he was about to ignore the guards' obstruction and rush in to face the saint, the courtyard door facing Jiang Yuming opened.
"King of Chu."
"Your Majesty, your Majesty... I have met my mother and queen."
Queen Lu seemed not to have heard what he just said. She looked at him lovingly: "If King Chu comes to see the emperor, there is no need. I have just advised the emperor. The emperor has promised not to argue with you. Hurry up." Go get ready for the banquet!"
"???" Unexpectedly, there would be a turn of events, and Jiang Yuming was shocked.
The Queen... seemed to have a lot of weight in front of his father!
"Son, my son... I thank my mother for the kindness of protecting her!" However, no matter how surprised he was, Jiang Yuming did not forget the etiquette he should have said, and bowed to Empress Lu in a polite manner.
Queen Lu's voice became softer and softer: "King Chu, there is no need to be like this. You are the son that your father has high hopes for. How can he be willing to punish you seriously? Go back quickly and get ready. The dinner will start in less than two hours. "
"This..." Although Jiang Yuming was very impressive when he first came, he really didn't dare to let him attend the banquet without hearing his father's personal promise!
There is a big difference between striving for this and ignoring the imperial edict!
"I'm just afraid that my father will be displeased when my son appears."
Seeing his hesitation, Queen Lu couldn't help but chuckle.
She stepped out and waved to him intimately: "If King Chu doesn't mind, please send me back."
Jiang Yuming quickly said yes.
There was nothing he could do. After all, the queen was his mother in name only. It was his duty to escort his mother back to the courtyard, so how could he refuse?
Fortunately, he is a husband and has learned to avoid suspicion, so he doesn't have to get too close to Queen Lu and can be less embarrassed.
Empress Lu seemed unable to see his alienation. When she was far away from Dejiuyage, she said in a rather friendly manner: "King Chu, your Majesty is an honest man. Since he said he won't annoy you, he must not care about you anymore... "
Jiang Yuming said "hehe" twice in his heart.
"However, if you are not at ease... you can actually be more secure."
"Oh?" These words struck Jiang Yuming's heart, and he couldn't help but look up at Queen Lu.
"When your father was not yet the crown prince, he had troubles with the late emperor... It was also at a family banquet. The emperor, who was still King Hui, brought his guards to the stage to perform an ancient dance. The performance restored the ancient tribal blessings. The dance's majestic atmosphere is fascinating to this day.
It was that dance, that entertainment in colorful clothes under the watchful eyes of old relatives, that finally made the late emperor put aside his past resentment and show great love to your father, which was why he was later awarded the title of crown prince. "
"Ah?!" Jiang Yuming was dumbfounded, as if he could fit a whole duck egg in his mouth.
He simply couldn't imagine that his father had such a...such unrestrained side!
"As far as I know, your mother-in-law came up with this idea, and even the dance music was planned by her with the help of the emperor... So, if you don't believe what I say, you can go to her and ask her in person, and you will know. .”
Queen Lu's words reassured Jiang Yuming, who was slightly skeptical.
Originally, he wanted to find confirmation from his mother and concubine, but after the queen said this, if he really went, it seemed that he didn't trust her... If his father knew about it, he would probably have another chance to make trouble.
Fortunately, the queen would not tell such lies that would be exposed immediately. He could first think about how to imitate his father.
"Mother, the family banquet is about to begin. I'm afraid that my son is prepared but unable to carry out the preparations!"
"Don't worry, the melody of the dance is simple and the steps are not complicated." Empress Lu's eyes flashed with a smile, "I remember that there are nine postures in total. It is easy to master them."
"Nine? So easy?!" Jiang Yuming was really moved this time.
"Yes, it's so easy to learn... It is said that you can master it in half an hour. If you find a strong helper, you can coordinate it in half an hour. King Chu, it won't take you half an hour to gather people, right? It's both sides. Together, we can prepare enough before the family banquet begins."
As Jiang Yuming listened, he seemed to see the scene of his father dancing in his mind.
Gradually, gradually, the picture became blurry, and the dancer seemed to change from his father to him... Jiang Yuming almost laughed out loud at the thought of the end.
"But, but my guards, they are not good at dancing!" Jiang Yuming's head got a little big when he thought of his guards.
"What's so difficult about this? Just replace the one who is not good at dancing with a backup dancer who is good at singing and dancing, has flexible postures, and has great skills?" Queen Lu seemed to not be able to bear to see him struggling, and gave him a very considerate idea. , "King Chu, if you are worried about not being able to find suitable manpower... I remember that King Jing has always liked dance, music and opera. He often asked his guards to dress up and play against him... You can go to him to discuss it, you can't say He can give you a full complement of manpower."
