Chapter 9: The Banquet Turmoil
After experiencing a baptism of blood at the border pass, there was a smell of blood as soon as he got close, Lin Qingge subconsciously took a few steps back to avoid being wrapped in this breath.
After Shen Wu saluted Xiao Chu, he glanced at Xiao Tingyi next to him, snorted lightly in his nose, deliberately ignored Xiao Tingyi, and talked with Xiao Chu.
Lin Qingge grabbed his angry father, and entered the palace with Xiao Tingyi first, and at a distance between the front and back, Lin Qingge still heard clearly what Shen Wu said in his voice behind him, and complimented the prince word by word.
Before entering the palace, Lin Qingge went to Xilou and spent a lot of money to buy back the news that Shen Wu was at the border pass, thinking about seeing what the famous general's record in the army was, but she was a little surprised to get the news that surprised her completely.
At the same time, Lin Qingge's eyes were completely attracted by Xilou, she used to know that Xilou was a place to sell intelligence, but she didn't want to rely on it, everything was to gamble with her life, there was such a simple way in this life, why didn't she do it.
In her previous life, she also thought that the general Shen Wu would shed his blood for the emperor and enjoy his life in peace, until she saw the news, she didn't change her mind.
The palace banquet, the sound of silk and bamboo, fine wine, and graceful dancing, in this atmosphere, most people enjoy it, and only Lin Qingge and Xiao Tingyi are bored.
"See the queen's mother, the queen's mother Feng'an!" The queen, who was belated, brought Shen Jiuge into the room, let everyone be exempted, and by the way, let Shen Jiuge sit next to her, and her status was instantly revealed.
"Jiu Ge, before you were looking for novel music for me and the emperor in Suzhou and Hangzhou, I haven't seen the emperor's side concubine for your prince brother Xinna, she is the second lady of the Xiangfu, and her demeanor is decent and generous, next to her is the daughter of the Xiangfu, her name is Qingge, which is somewhat similar to your name. ”
The queen pointed to Lin Qingge and Lin Yinyu and seemed to introduce, and every sentence was suppressing Lin Qingge and the two, so ironic, everyone present heard it.
Lin Yinyu was not calm, stood up and saluted, and behaved generously. She didn't dare to provoke the queen, so she could only point the finger at Shen Jiuge.
"Sister Yinyu has heard Jiuge since she was a child, and she is a real proud daughter of the sky, and the sister of the courtier is also proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, but I don't know which of the two sisters is better. ”
Even Lin Qingge had to praise Lin Yinyu for becoming so smart this time, causing trouble and making a fatal move.
"What my sister said is not right, Miss Shen is the niece of the queen's mother, and the daughter of the general, with a noble status, and my father has not disciplined me much since I was a child, and I also know little about piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, which cannot be compared with Miss Shen. ”
Before the prime minister came, he reminded him to pay attention to the matter of the queen provoking the competition between her and Shen Jiuge, in order to avoid such a conflict, Lin Qingge had tried his best to dodge, but there was a trouble-provoking Lin Yinyu here, thinking about it, he should have received the queen's instructions a long time ago.
Xiao Tingyi occasionally drank during the banquet, and no one talked to him about it, but even if it was this rare quiet, some people were not happy to see it.
"Your Majesty, the minister heard that the five highnesses have contributed the most to this disaster relief, and the minister thinks that the five highnesses should also share some work for the prince, so it is better to let the five highnesses go to the military camp to experience it, just when the minister came back, and the people under him are not enough, and the emperor is asked to agree. ”
Shen Wu's words suddenly interrupted the conversation between Lin Qingge and the queen, and took advantage of this episode to sit in his position, listening to Shen Wu's words belittling Xiao Tingyi, a grape was sacrificed in Lin Qing's singer, and then quietly hidden.
This small action did not escape the eyes of the queen, the queen took the opportunity to let Xiao Tingyi dance the sword to cheer everyone up, Shen Wu agreed, and the emperor was about to speak, and a burst of exclamations disrupted the emperor's position.
"The emperor and queen forgive the sin, the courtiers are not good at drinking, and they have committed a big rebellious act, please ask the emperor and queen to punish the crime!"
This action made everyone forget about letting Xiao Tingyi dance the sword, and their eyes focused on Lin Qingge, waiting for the person on the main seat to speak.
Xiao Tingyi looked at Lin Qingge, who admitted his mistake with complicated eyes, he knew that if there was no such thing, he would definitely be asked by the emperor to let him dance the sword, a dignified man, the sword should be on the field to kill the enemy, and it is ridicule to have fun with others, and a warm current in his heart flowed through his body.
"It's okay, it's just that this interest has been disturbed, I don't know what you have to make everyone regain their interest?" The emperor changed his mind when he thought of Lin Qingge's heroic appearance during the last hunt.
The two people sitting at the same table had their own thoughts, the emperor's eyes had never left Lin Qingge from this moment, and the queen didn't know what this look meant.
"It's better to let Miss Lin and Ge'er each take three samples from the six arts for a competition, which can be regarded as a kind of fun, I don't know how the emperor will be?" The words were asking, but they successfully pulled the emperor's eyes back.
In this case, Lin Qingge has no reason to refuse, and Lin Qingge likes to take the initiative to find out what he can't hide.
"The courtier, Queen Xie, is considerate, and asks the courtier to allow the courtier to go down and tidy up her appearance first, and then come to Sister Shen for advice. ”
Lin Qingge hated Shen Jiuge, not because of her identity, but because the two of them had similar names. Shen Jiuge's eyes followed Xiao Tingyi throughout the banquet, but he found that the person Xiao Tingyi looked at several times was Lin Qingge.
From the beginning of his reluctance to compete with Lin Qingge to the fact that he wanted to win Lin Qingge in front of Xiao Tingyi, Xiao Tingyi would know who was better and more suitable for him at that time.
Lin Qingge didn't know that there was such an inexplicable person who hated her, in her previous life, she only knew that Shen Jiuge liked Xiao Tingyi and did a lot for Xiao Tingyi, and the two didn't have much intersection, and the two would not make enemies.
Xiao Tingyi made an excuse to come out of the banquet and went to the side hall to find Lin Qingge, Lin Qingge pulled everyone back, and she wanted to change it herself.
She was only wearing underwear, and she had a headache when she looked at the only set of clothes she had brought over.
She clearly remembered that she had surrounded the maid just in case she was carrying a set of plain clothes, which turned into a set of cheesy red at this time, which was very different from the embroidered clothes embellished with gold thread that Shen Jiuge was wearing.
You don't have to think about it to know who changed her clothes, this account will be written down for the time being, and then you will settle it with Lin Yinyu when you go back.
"Is there anything wrong with the clothes?" stared at the clothes intently, not noticing Xiao Tingyi coming in.
Grab the shirt you had changed from before and take two steps back.
"Why is the Fifth Highness here, this is the women's side hall, please leave as soon as possible! ”
Xiao Tingyi ignored Lin Qingge's cautious appearance, took out a dagger and gestured on the red clothes, and handed the clothes to Lin Qingge.
A cheesy red dress turned into a plain men's dress under Xiao Tingyi's gesture, clean and neat, very sassy, Lin Qingge was very satisfied.
