Chapter Forty-Eight: Spending the Night in the Woods
The emperor's hand tightened unconsciously, and the faces of everyone present were different for a while, as if there had been no news of this war king for a long time......
The special wheelchair was pushed slowly by Xiao Jue to enter, wearing the prince's exclusive black background Luan Jin Jiu python suit, and the legs were covered with a thin brocade quilt, although it was early autumn, the weather was uncertain, and it was night, and the palace gate was opened, and the oncoming cold air blew the neck socket cold.
The originally lively situation was quiet, and even the queen, who had always had a low sense of existence just now, couldn't help but stop and watch, and some of them couldn't hide their hearts and looked at Xiao Jingchen like a ghost.
I can't figure out how he hasn't participated in the banquet for a long time, and this is the first time he has made an exception, and he actually gave himself hostility, and for a while, everyone tacitly understood that their expressions were weird.
"The minister has seen the emperor, the queen. Xiao Jingchen sat in a wheelchair and spoke lazily.
There was a moment of silence in the hall.
The surprise in the emperor's eyes was fleeting: "It's rare that Jingchen has Yaxing to attend the prince's birthday, I haven't seen you for a long time." ”
"I haven't seen you for a long time, I want to breathe, it is the prince's birthday, so I came to see it, and by the way, I was happy. Xiao Jingchen nodded slightly, his face was slightly pale, and his voice was low with a hint of hoarseness.
Anyone who sees it looks weak.
Seeing this scene, Su Qing couldn't help twitching the corners of her mouth, she had seen Xiao Jingchen alive before, and she had become like this in an afternoon.
"His Royal Highness the King of War came down to congratulate, this palace is deeply honored, I don't know what good treasure I brought today, let us open our eyes. The concubine covered her mouth with a brocade pad sniffing peonies, and her smiling face was full of style, showing the demeanor of the master.
However, the queen on the side is not so grand, presumably the concubine who wears gold and silver is a little darker, but the pattern that can only be used on behalf of the queen's identity can be regarded as an invisible counterattack.
As soon as these words came out, even the emperor inadvertently glanced at her, and the queen inadvertently stroked the sleeves that did not see a trace of wrinkles, and the corners of her lips were inadvertently hooked.
When the ministers saw this, some shook their heads almost invisibly, and some looked at each other a few times silently, frowning.
But no one expected that Xiao Jingchen glanced at everyone and suddenly spoke, with a casual expression, "The concubine is clever, and this king has naturally prepared good things." ”,
Xiao Jingchen snapped his fingers slowly, and the two guards took out a painting and unfolded it in front of everyone.
Time stopped for a moment, and the emperor's eyes deepened a little, staring at the painting tightly.
glanced at the war king again, although there were no words, but the emperor's aura had already been revealed.
Liu Guifei's face stiffened, and the hand hidden in her sleeve was clenched, trying to maintain a perfect smile for herself, and she couldn't see anything unusual.
At first glance, this painting is the scene of the prince's wedding, but it does not paint the appearance clearly, and the whole is an artistic conception painting, which makes people feel it.
If you look closely, it is actually a big wedding between the two, and a man robbed the marriage, but he was stopped, kneeling on the ground in public, with his back straight, and his parents sitting on a high seat with gloomy faces were being interrogated.
has just experienced the marriage of the prince, it is not difficult to reminisce.
At the same time, the purpose of the war king's coming to participate in the banquet this time, everyone also had a faint guess in their hearts, and they were afraid of it, after all, Xiao Jingchen at his peak was infinitely beautiful, and even the emperor was polite and gave three points.
But thinking of his pale face, which attracted attention from the beginning, and then there was nothing, and it was probably just a painless moan, so I didn't pay too much attention to it.
But the prince's scandal was shown by the enemy in this way in public, and the prince still couldn't hold it on his face.
"This painting is a peerless work of the famous painting saint Qing Daozi, a painting is hard to find, this king does not understand the fun of these literati, simply give it to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to enjoy. Xiao Jingchen leaned back in his chair and spoke lightly.
No one could guess what he meant.
"Thanks... The War King's kindness. Chu Yi lowered his head, not letting others see his ugly expression, but his tone was gentle and elegant.
"The concubine is still satisfied"
Liu Guifei was choked and speechless, but finally covered her lips with a handkerchief and forced a smile, "The prince sent it is naturally excellent"
"Okay, concubine, the king of war is sick, hurry up and take a seat" The queen looked at Liu Guifei's face was embarrassed, and said lightly.
Liu Guifei openly stood up for the crown prince, which is good or bad, especially when the war king is involved in the middle.
The gift-giving session continued, but everyone's minds were so confused, each with their own thoughts, and the atmosphere was not as good as before.
"Xiaguan accidentally got a Chinese New Year's Eve pearl and presented it to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. "Su Mingyuan sent someone to present a gift, it is a night pearl with the thickness of an adult's arm, although the light is dim in the banquet, but the faint light that shines out, it is a good product at a glance.
"Prime Minister Su Cheng has a heart"
Su Ying's eyes were full of charm, and she followed behind Su Mingyuan and personally handed over the gift box. "The little girl worked hard for half a year, and finally found a thousand-year-old ginseng and dedicated it to His Royal Highness the Prince."
Millennial ginseng, something that is rare even in the treasury, as soon as it came out at this moment, everyone present sighed.
Su Ying is in and out today, and the prince's eyes are obviously dressed in bright clothes, and he has a strange feeling at this moment.
"Second Miss is generous, I don't know what Miss Su sent" A crisp voice came from the front, and a girl in colorful clothes sat next to the eldest princess, obviously with a high status.
The eldest princess frowned and quietly pulled the girl's clothes.
For a while, everyone's eyes looked at Su Qing.
The emperor still had some impressions of Su Qing, his face was not good, and Liu Guifei couldn't help but snort coldly, her eyebrows and eyes drooped, only the queen had a faint expression, and she didn't care about it.
"Sister won't ...... Didn't prepare anything, did you?" Su Ying looked surprised and embarrassed.
Su Mingyuan suddenly felt that he couldn't hold his face, and then looked at the emperor's scrutinizing eyes, and hurriedly said: "The birthday gift given by the lower official also has her share, the little girl just returned to the capital, and she didn't know what was good, so she picked a gift for the prince with the lower official." ”
Everyone felt that this reason was reasonable, and they did not speak.
But I didn't want to, Su Qing stood up and shook her head: "The little girl naturally prepared gifts for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in person. ”
After speaking, he took out a small porcelain bottle.
But out of nowhere, there was a sudden laughter, and anyone with a slightly better ear could hear it.
Xiao Jingchen glanced at the other side, and the military department Shangshu seemed to sense something, and was silent for a moment.
"This is Qiang Yuan Dan, if you eat one, you can achieve the best state of your body in a short period of time, but after the whole person will lose strength, other than that, there are no side effects. ”
Su Qing was silent for a while, and only after clarifying the situation did he say the beauty of this thing.
You must know that when you are fighting, when both sides are exhausted, if someone takes this pill, you can turn defeat into victory and turn things around, and even other face-to-face situations are also very useful.
It is also said to have a long-lasting effect.
The emperor's face changed, and he didn't say anything.
The queen glanced at Xiao Jingchen and saw that his expression was normal, and she was slightly relieved.
But the eldest princess seemed to think of something in her eyes, she was in a sad mood, not a taste, Qin Yueyue saw that her mother was so abnormal, she thought it was because of Su Qing, so she glared at her viciously.
The gifts given in front of everyone's eyes will at least not be fake, and there is no courage to do it.
"The prime minister's two daughters can be said to be good pillars, which is really an unexpected surprise for me. The emperor took the lead, and Chu Yi also began to thank him.
There was smugness in his eyes.
