Chapter 184: The Change of Qianyuan Palace (Part 2)
"Dance!"
The dancers came on stage one after another, shaking their slender waists and stretching their delicate bodies. The musicians on the side played cheerful music that suited the occasion. The palace maids entered one after another and placed exquisite food on the low table.
When plates of exquisite desserts were placed in front of Emperor Liang's desk, Emperor Jingjia specially picked up a piece of dessert that looked like a peach blossom and handed it to Emperor Liang's mouth. Emperor Liang took a bite, chewed it in his mouth several times and immediately shone his eyes, swallowing all the remaining pastries into his mouth. While tasting it, he couldn't help but exclaim "Good taste!"
"Oh?" Concubine Jingjia has been serving Emperor Liang. She rarely saw Emperor Liang praises a mere plate of pastries. With curiosity, she also picked up a piece and put it into her mouth. With this slight bite, the outer skin of the pastry immediately shattered, and the juice wrapped inside began to overflow in her mouth, sweet but not greasy, fresh and refreshing. Even if you don't have to chew, the pastry will slowly melt and eventually turn into a sweet juice and slim into your throat. After tasting this pastry, even if you just open your mouth slightly, the unique fragrance of flowers will overflow from your mouth, making you salivate.
This time, Emperor Jing Jia understood the reason why Emperor Liang praised him. This was the first time in her life that she had tasted such a unique snack. Emperor Liang looked at the unbearable appearance of the imperial concubine, and couldn't help but sigh that Yingcai's news was so accurate. The chef invited to do so actually had such skills. Wouldn't it be a pity if he stayed in Qingshan Academy?
Yingcairen and Concubine Du sat in front of the same desk. The two kept talking and laughing. When they tasted the peach blossom-shaped pastry, they were deeply shocked by the craftsmanship. Concubine Du was also a person who was proficient in cooking, but it was not until she tasted this pastry that she knew that there were people outside of the person, and that this person was beyond her reach in her life.
Yingcairen said to Concubine Du: "Sister, according to grade, my sister is not qualified to sit with her sister. These are all asked by my sister to the emperor."
"I have something to say to my sister. If it were someone else, I would have to bow my head and eat."
"Sister, listen to my sister's words. It will change at that time. I'd better buy more clothes."
"I think the weather is pretty good today, and this dress is enough."
Yingcai smiled but said nothing, raised her hand and picked up a piece of snack to Du Guifei's plate, "Sister, this pastry is definitely not from the imperial chef, so I have to taste it well."
Anyone who has tasted the pastry can't help but be impressed by this exquisite craft. Emperor Liang said happily: "Do you all know who did these pastries in front of your case?"
Seeing everyone's puzzled look, Emperor Liang was quite content, "I, I really envious of Master Bai Shi!"
Seeing Emperor Liang turn his chore to himself, Bai Shi, who had been sitting in the back row with Chu Kuan'an, had to get up and bow to Emperor Liang, and then said, "Pang Kui is a wandering child taken in by me. Seeing that he has the talent for cooking, I sent him to a cooking expert who visited the capital. Pang Kui is calm by nature and does not like noise. Although I persuade him several times, he insisted that he could not leave the mountain and stayed in the academy."
"Isn't this all learned from you!" King Ling said loudly: "Master, you are a person who is indifferent to fame and fortune, and the people you teach are also the same as you. Some of them are loyal to the country, but it is not ruled out that some are seeking fame!"
"The nine sons of the dragon have different personalities. The students I teach also have different temperaments. I can only do my best to correct their words and deeds. It is inevitable that people who do not conform to the purpose of Qingshan Academy will appear."
"Can you easily relieve your responsibility as the head of Qingshan Academy by saying 'It is inevitable'?"
"Yun Rui, don't speak to the Master like this. Qingshan Academy has been passed down for a hundred years. The students from Qingshan Academy are all pillars of the court. Yun Rui, please apologize to the Master."
"What my son said is correct, why should you apologize? These nerds lose their book bags all day long and take out theories that have long been outdated to limit our words and deeds. If they are not enterprising, they will even harm the country!"
"Yun Rui!" Emperor Liang was obviously a little angry. He actually said such words on such occasions. Even though he knew that King Ling was usually a little unrestrained, Emperor Liang still felt that he was out of tune.
"Seventh brother, today is the day of the Imperial Celestial Celebration. How can you speak like this?"
Faced with King Xiang's questioning, King Ling raised his chest, "Do you think I don't know the general and ignore the dignity of the royal family? These are usually the strengths of the prince and fifth brother. If it weren't for me, how could the father please you? If it weren't for my concise, how could you win a reputation of taking into account the overall situation and being respectful and polite? In the end, you are not only not grateful to me, but also want to compete with me for the position of crown prince!"
The words of King Ling were just inappropriate, but this sentence was equivalent to Moji. As soon as these words were spoken, the ministers and concubines held their breath and began to look at King Ling to see how he would end.
"Rareless! Yun Rui, you can say the position of crown prince casually!" Emperor Liang was really angry. He didn't expect that this son would make a fuss on such an occasion. "I won't apologize!"
"What's the crime of a son? Father, the prince has long been gone; King Yu is just a martial artist who can lead troops to fight, and now he has not even won a victory; King Zhuang is a cripple; when looking at King Xiang, what have he done except to form cliques among court officials? Now that he has a prince, he is so amazing, and the minister is not convinced!"
"Xiao Yunrui! Do you know what you are talking about? Do you know who you are talking to?" Emperor Liang stood up and pointed at King Ling and cursed angrily: "I don't let you tolerate you. I'm so arrogant. Come on!"
"How? Is the father planning to punish Erchen? What crime does the father planning to impose on Erchen? My father, you are really old and confused. Open your eyes and see how many court officials in this hall are already the people of King Xiang. He is the real hypocrite!"
King Ling suddenly pointed his hand at King Xiang. In order to protect the princess, King Xiang stood up and blocked her, looking at King Ling with a gloomy face.
"Yun Rui, we are brothers after all. Do you care about your siblings when you speak like this?"
"Family affection? Hahaha, you are worthy! We were born in the imperial family and our fate was long destined, or we would withdraw from the competition for the crown prince early like him!" King Ling pointed to King Zhuang and continued, "Otherwise, none of us would be willing to surrender to others. This is the case with the prince, the King Yu, and even more so with your King Xiang! According to your temperament, once you ascend the throne, can this palace still have a way out?"
"Yun Rui, are you crazy today? He actually said such ruthless words in front of his father and all the ministers! Why don't you apologize to your father quickly!"
At this time, King Ling was already willing to take it out. He raised his chest and raised his head to shout at the civil and military officials present: "Everyone, as King Ling, I will give you a chance to choose a wise master. If you can recognize me as the new emperor, I can not only save your life but also protect your glory and wealth for the rest of your life!"
"Are you planning to rebel? Where have you put me?" Emperor Liang was furious and angrily removed the food case and threw all the food all over the floor. Emperor Liang stood on the steps and pointed at King Ling and cursed: "You unfaithful and unfilial son! OK, you usually pretend, but now you don't plan to continue pretending, but I really never expected that you had such a wolf ambition! You want to inherit my throne, you are delusional!"
"Father, my son is the most suitable heir to the throne! My son can develop and grow Daliang, eliminate enemies from all directions, expand his territory, and make Daliang the number one overlord on this land! My father, if you are willing to declare your son the heir to the throne in public, my son will definitely serve my father, my son..."
"Stop it! You are a foul!" Emperor Liang picked up a teacup and threw it at King Ling. Although King Ling dodged, he still scratched his eyebrows by the teacup. Emperor Liang ran down from the steps, went to King Ling, pointed at his nose and cursed: "You are shameless and shameless! You want to inherit the throne, you are delusional! King Xiang, King Yu, even King Zhuang is more suitable than you. You are a foul son, you will only be worthy of being in prison for the rest of your life!"
"Father" King Ling wiped his face, his lips raised, and he was not shocked by Emperor Liang's domineering aura. "Who will be a prisoner? The father may not have figured it out yet. Maybe the father is too confident and thinks that the entire imperial city is still under your control?"
"Is it yours not under my control? Come on, drag this rioter out and invade the clan's mansion! Deprive the title and arrest all the people in the mansion!"
As Emperor Liang said, two imperial guards immediately stepped into the hall. The swords they wore with them collided with their bodies as they walked, and they sounded particularly creepy in the silent hall.
The two imperial guards walked to the side of the King of Ling, and did not perform any movement. Instead, they bowed to Emperor Liang and said in unison: "Please calm down!"
Everyone was stunned. The one who was most surprised was Emperor Liang. He did not expect that the palace guards would not listen to him. But Emperor Liang was Emperor Liang after all. He stepped forward and kicked the guards hard, cursing angrily: "Bold, you dare to disobey my orders! I will take your life immediately! Come!"
Emperor Liang shouted for a while and found that there was no Imperial Guard coming in again. However, Emperor Liang did not give up and continued to shout at the top of his throat, but there was still no guard agreeing.
"Father!" King Ling said with a smile: "Father, haven't you realized it yet? Now the Qianyuan Palace is under the control of his son. It's important for the father to take care of the dragon body. Come on!"
With the order from the King of Ling, two teams of imperial guards immediately walked into the hall wearing stern swords and surrounded everyone.
"These court dancers and actors don't have to keep them anymore!"
