MTL - The Crown Prince Chases His Wife-Chapter 77 satisfy
The dragon boat went along the canal to Yangzhou.
Before they landed on the shore, they heard drums and music on both sides of the river, and the voices of people were full of people.
Feng Zhan lightly pressed his eyebrows with one hand to relieve the headaches caused by the lack of rest and the noise outside.
Song Zhi came back:
"His Royal Highness, on the dock is Yangzhou's prefect who brought officials and people at all levels in Yangzhou to greet His Royal Highness."
Seeing his Highness frowning, Song Zhi tried to ask:
"Your Highness has a headache? Do you want to call an imperial physician?"
Feng Zhan still pressed his eyebrows, his tone was quite hesitant,
"Let the people disperse, and the officials will wait at the Yangzhou Governor's Office."
"Yes, Your Highness." Song Zhi led the order away.
------
The noise outside the ship also made Qin Yan frown. After days of travel, Qin Yan just wanted to rest quietly.
After a while, the noise outside gradually weakened, and Qin Yan's brows gradually relaxed.
Ji Nanfeng came in,
"Young Master Gu came to the news that the lady's side will be delayed for a few days, and then they will meet in Yangzhou City, and Young Master Gu is also on the way."
Qin Yan picked up the white porcelain cup at hand, took a sip, and then chuckled softly,
"Is your mother having fun playing outside?"
Ji Nanfeng also became a little curious, what kind of person would his wife be if she could produce such a character as the master?
"His Royal Highness." The voice came from Shen Ying outside the door.
Feng Zhan walked into the room with the sound.
Ji Nanfeng salutes the prince,
"His Royal Highness."
Feng Zhan's eyes fell on Qin Yan who was sitting in front of a round table, and his slender fingers were playing with the tea cup in his hand.
Ji Nanfeng withdrew, walked to the door and paused for a while, sighed in his heart, and still closed the door.
------
In the room, Qin Yan didn't get up, but just raised his eyes and glanced at the tall and straight prince standing in front of him, then withdrew his gaze, flicked the outer wall of the white porcelain cup in his hand with his slender fingers, and placed it by his ear, as if he was judging. The pros and cons of porcelain.
Feng Zhan has become accustomed to Qin Yan's disregard of etiquette in front of him, and is happy to see Qin Yan's casualness in front of him, of course, this is what he is used to.
Feng Zhan took a step closer and lowered his voice, but it made his already magnetic voice even more charming, which made Qin Yan feel relieved.
"After disembarking, you can go to the Governor's Office with you."
Qin Yan's movement in his hand stopped, and he raised his head, a little displeased on his face.
The content of the prince's words was far less pleasing than his voice.
"His Royal Highness, I have no personal time?" Qin Yan asked with raised eyebrows.
Feng Zhan had some expectations for Qin Yan's reaction, and coaxed patiently,
"Accompany the orphan on official business first."
Qin Yan put down the tea cup in his hand, leaned back against the chair, and smiled slightly on his lips.
"Your Highness, can't you leave me?"
Feng Zhan's eyes darkened a bit, this woman came again with her mouth open.
The sultry side of Qin Yan, Feng Zhan didn't want any man to see, and the man who didn't want to be teased by Qin Yan's words would be replaced by anyone other than him.
At this time, Qin Yan had some amusing interest, the smile on her face widened a bit, and there was a hint of charm in her voice.
"Your Highness satisfied me?"
Feng Zhan's Adam's apple rolled slightly, his eyes were like deep pools, he raised his leg and took a step forward, stopped in front of Qin Yan, stretched out a hand with sharp joints to lift Qin Yan's tender chin, leaned down and pressed down, the thin lips almost It was against Qin Yan's moist red lips, and said slowly:
"That day, did Gu satisfy you?"
Feng Zhan's voice was hoarse and mellow, and Qin Yan was relieved to hear it again, but... this satisfaction is not the other, Feng Zhan and her are going around in circles, right?
"Disembark after a stick of incense." Feng Zhan left this sentence and left.
------
When the prince and his party disembarked, the roaring drums on the pier had stopped, and the crowd that had been drowsy was dispersed, leaving only Lin Hui, the governor of Yangzhou, who walked forward with some colleagues and saluted the prince.
"His Royal Highness, Chitose."
Feng Zhan raised his hand, Song Zhi said loudly:
"rise."
The officials got up and moved to the side, waiting to be dispatched.
Feng Zhan raised his eyes and swept to the scene on the pier, and his eyes stopped on the hundreds of large and small boats on the right side of the river.
The boatmen on the boat were all wearing half-old hats and wide-sleeved shirts. Upon closer inspection, they were wearing straw sandals on their feet, which seemed to be dressed in Wu and Chu customs.
Yangzhou Inspector Lin Hui bowed forward and said:
"His Royal Highness, the next official is Lin Hui, the governor of Yangzhou, and there are ships that transport Yangzhou specialties to various places."
In fact, the shipping ships are not fake, but today they also have this Lord Lin specially convened here, even the boatmen's clothes are uniform, in order to stage a prosperous scene with Yangzhou characteristics in front of the Prince's Palace .
Seeing that the prince did not say anything, Lin Hui continued to introduce:
"In addition to food, these ships also have local specialties from various places. If His Royal Highness is interested, you can go aboard and have a look."
Feng Zhan is quite clear that this kind of performance display is a common practice for local officials to receive visitors from Beijing, but this time he is not here to learn about local folk customs, and there is still business, Feng Zhan said in a deep voice:
"Go to the office."
The group got into the car separately, and was escorted by the guards of the Prince's Mansion, who were purifying their military appearance, and went to the Governor's Yamen.
Yangzhou City is indeed prosperous and prosperous. There are boats and cars on the way, and people are like weaving. Commodity goods are also diverse and dazzling. Wealthy businessmen and literati gathered together, and it was really angry.
------
Prince Feng Zhan brought his entourage, including Qin Yan, the master of Zhaoren County, to the Governor's Mansion. Immediately after that, he went to the government office to learn about government affairs. At dinner time, Lin Hui asked the prince for instructions:
"His Royal Highness, the lower official held a small banquet for His Royal Highness and Zhaoren County Master at the government office today. Your colleagues and the lords of Yangzhou will accompany you. Can His Royal Highness allow it?"
Obviously, Lin Hui wanted to use the name of the prince to shave off the oil and water of Yangzhou's wealthy businessmen.
Feng Zhan understands, but it is true that Jiangnan has been severely affected by the disaster this time, and we cannot rely solely on the treasury for disaster relief. Feng Zhan did not reject Lin Hui's proposal. The purpose of this banquet was tacitly understood by everyone.
That night, a banquet was held in the main hall of the Governor's Mansion, and in accordance with the royal rules of Shangjing, all the guests were seated separately.
At the top of the hall sits Prince Feng Zhan, who is dressed in a black brocade embroidered with a five-clawed golden dragon and a golden crown.
At the top of the two rows of seats below are Qin Yan, the head of Zhaoren County, and Lin Hui, the governor of Yangzhou.
There were also officials of the fourth rank and above in Yangzhou, the staff of the Prince's House, and the wealthy businessmen who were worthy of the name of Yangzhou City invited by Mr. Lin.
With today's banquet specifications, everyone did not bring their family, with one exception, and it was a familiar face.
The second-ranked queen Jingyan of the Zuo Prime Minister, along with her adoptive father, Yu Shenghai, the head of the family, came to the banquet together.
Lin Hui knew that this second Miss Wang was the second young lady of the Zuoxiang Mansion and also the cousin of His Royal Highness, so he guessed that His Royal Highness would not be displeased, so it was difficult to refute the second Miss Wang's request and set up a new one for Miss Wang. seats.
The dishes at the banquet were not too extravagant, they were all Yangzhou specialties, elegant in appearance and light in taste, which fit the tastes of Feng Zhan and Qin Yan.
Song Zhi was beside the prince's table, using a silver needle to test the poison on the dishes, wine and water on the prince's table. Everyone can understand this, the rules of the royal family.
But there was still one seat at the banquet, which surprised everyone.
Shen Ying, the maid next to the county master Zhaoren, is also using silver needles to test poison for the county master.
Everyone wonders, this Zhaoren County Lord is only the Prince's staff? In front of the Prince's Highness, the county lord's arrogance and rules were not restrained, as if he had no fear or respect for His Royal Highness. Zhaoren County Lord's behavior was unbridled and excessive, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince also seemed to be accustomed to condoning this.
However, His Royal Highness Prince Zhaoren has no other interaction with the Princess Zhaoren. What is the relationship between the Princess and the Prince?
------
Shortly after the opening ceremony, Yangzhou provincial governor Lin Hui gave a high five, and a graceful woman in a flowing gauze skirt walked into the hall with light steps. As the vocal music played, all the young women danced to the music.
These women's bodies are all slender and soft, and their looks are surprisingly consistent, with the gentle taste of Jiangnan water towns, which is pleasing to the eye.
After a few movements, the woman in the blue shirt who led the dance tactfully sang a soothing Qing song, her voice like an oriole, mellow and melodious.
Someone recognized that the woman leading the dance seemed to be the youngest daughter of Lord Lin.
During the banquet, everyone toasted the first prince from time to time, but today the prince seems to have a bad appetite. The dishes on the table have not been touched, and even the wine has not been touched.
Everyone was apprehensive, wondering if His Highness the Prince had something, which made His Royal Highness dissatisfied.
The staff of the Prince's Mansion frequently toasted Zhaoren County Master, Qin Yan was in a good mood today, and most of them did not refuse. While drinking lightly, she watched with great interest the beauties dancing in the hall.
After the dance was over, the girls retreated one after another, leaving the young woman in a light blue gauze dress who led the dance and walked slowly to Lin Hui's side.
Lin Hui got up and introduced to the prince:
"His Royal Highness, this is the little girl Lin Miao."
Lin Miao bowed her head and bowed to the crown prince,
"The girl has seen His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
Lin Miao glanced at the prince with bright, flowing eyes, shy and timid, and then lowered it quickly.
Her glance just now made Lin Miao's heart beat hot. The prince was the most attractive young man she had ever seen, with a handsome face, tall and slender body, a noble birth, and a high position. Such a man, even if he has only dewed kindness, is worth it.
Lin Hui saw that the prince only cast a glance, and then withdrew his gaze. He had no idea in his heart, but he had the cheek to seize this rare opportunity.
Lin Hui continued to head up and said:
"His Royal Highness, the little girl has a little knowledge of the four arts. When your highness is in the palace, the little girl can accompany her. The little girl's piano skills can still be heard, but it can be relieved by your highness."
people...
to accompany? With what?
Fuqin relieves fatigue? Or what relief?
Tsk tsk, Lin Hui's straightforward and shameless self-recommendation made everyone feel ashamed.
But if they can invite the prince to their mansion, not to mention the daughter, even if the wife Ji concubine wants to offer it to the prince, they are also willing.
Wang Jingyan's face was ugly. Fortunately, she came today. It seems that there are so many coquettish **** rushing to climb the bed of His Royal Highness. Thinking of this, Wang Jingyan's heart is blah, blah, blah. How much is...
Song Zhi…
His Royal Highness does not need to appreciate other people's piano skills. His Highness only wants to play the piano for Zhaoren County Master.
Song Zhi glanced at Zhaoren County Master, who was drinking wine on his own and couldn't see his expression clearly.
Song Zhi felt a little bad in his heart. These people who were blind would make more stumbling blocks for His Royal Highness in chasing the Crown Princess.
