The Queen Mother didn't know that the emperor had so many past events flashing in her mind at this moment. She squinted her eyes and swept around the crowd, and said suspiciously: "Why don't you see Ah Zhi's kid?" It seems that not only does the emperor love the old man, but even though the queen mother doesn't like Zhen Zhaoyi, she still thinks about Liu Qi, the youngest grandson, from time to time.

Queen Xie just reached out and picked up a piece of golden chrysanthemum crystal cake and took a bite, and did not hesitate to praise this crystal cake for its pleasant fragrance and sweetness but not greasy. Hearing this, he smiled and said: "The queen mother only cares about Ah Qi, but she didn't find out that Zhen Zhaoyi and Li Zhaorong didn't come!"

Instead of being angry, the Queen Mother laughed and said, "You are a narrow catcher, you are waiting here for the mourning family." This year's banquet was prepared by the two of them, and I'm afraid I'm still busy at this time. In previous years, you worked hard in every way, but this year, thanks to the emperor's compassion, let you also eat a ready-made family banquet, and remember to pay tribute to the emperor a few more glasses of wine later!"

The queen looked at the emperor at the top, hooked her lips very gently and smiled, and said: "The queen mother doesn't know, the emperor has been coughing at night recently, and it is better to drink less of this wine." ”

The Queen Mother nodded and said with great satisfaction: "The queen still remembers the emperor all the time during her recuperation, and she really has a heart! It's just that copying scriptures is too painstaking, and you already have a head disease, so don't work like this in the future. ”

The queen said gently and humbly: "The queen mother doesn't know, copying scriptures is the best way to cultivate self-cultivation, and my head disease can be cured without medicine these days, which shows that it is really a great benefit." ”

The emperor said indifferently at this time: "I thought that Zhen Zhaoyi and Li Zhaorong were young after all, although they reluctantly managed this family banquet, I am afraid that there are still many unsatisfactory points, and I have to ask the queen to come out and preside over the overall situation after the year."

However, since the queen liked to copy scriptures so much, even the queen mother appreciated it. After that, the trivial matters in the palace are still let them continue to bear, and the queen can only help the queen mother copy the scriptures with peace of mind. ”

When the queen heard this, even though the smile on her face did not decrease, she said humbly, "The concubine has written it down!" There was a trace of condensation between her eyebrows.

The Queen Mother didn't seem to expect the emperor to do so, she frowned, and didn't continue after all. The queen mother has always been able to put herself in the right position, and besides, the emperor is her son, she will not be stupid enough to go against her son for the sake of her daughter-in-law.

There is only a crown princess between Hua Lianyue and Liu Hui's position and the queen mother, she has always been deaf and clear-sighted, so she naturally listened to the dialogue of the three Buddhas above.

Hearing that the emperor did not mean to let the queen return to power, she also breathed a sigh of relief. Thinking about it in the next few days, the queen will definitely be planning how to take back the power from Zhen Zhaoyi and Li Zhaorong, and she will not have time to be distracted to deal with herself who has harmed Liu Ling for the time being.

Hua Lianyue gently stroked the lower abdomen that had not yet been conceived, and was glad that the queen was temporarily missing, and the children would be much more stable in her womb.

I don't know if it's an illusion, Hua Lianyue felt that after the emperor pressed the queen in a few words, she seemed to glance in her direction. Of course, in addition to a few princes sitting behind her, there are also nobles from various prefectures, and she will not think that the emperor will pay attention to them and his wife.

Just as he was thinking, he saw a strange man wearing a dark woven longevity pattern inlaid sable hair brocade robe outside the hall and a short beard under his chin. There was a sense of arrogance in this person's expectation, and when his eyes swept over everyone's faces like ice, he seemed to have been scraped by a sharp blade.

Although Hua Lianyue has not formally studied medical skills, she has always been much more knowledgeable than ordinary people after following Liu Yiliang for so many years. She saw that the man's eyes were sunken and obviously bloodshot, and the lower eyelid was bruised and swollen, and there was a black line at the root of the mountain connecting the left and right eyes. It's obvious that it's overindulgence, but it's like I've eaten a lot of tonics.

She was curious about the identity of this person, but she saw that the crown princess in front of her had already stood up and greeted her: "Prince, why did you come at this time?" she complained in a low voice.

Liu Yi waved his hand a little impatiently, and said, "Some things have been delayed, but if you don't miss the banquet, what are you talking about!"

It turned out that this person was the crown prince Liu Yi, although Hua Lianyue had secretly fought with Liu Yi for a few rounds, but it was the first time she saw the deity, so she couldn't help but take a few more looks.

In the end, Liu Yi has a momentum that cannot be underestimated, and his eyes are as ruthless as a poisonous snake. If you are stared at, the more timid will definitely be so frightened that your hands and feet will be weak and unable to speak.

While she was thinking, Liu Hui's whispered voice came from her ear: "Yue'er, remember his appearance clearly, whether in the palace or outside the palace in the future, you must stay away when you see him." ”

In Liu Hui's eyes, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was as terrifying as a snake and scorpion. Hua Lianyue quietly stuck out the tip of her tongue, and said in the same voice: "Got it!"

At this moment, the crown prince and the crown princess officially bowed to the emperor. In front of the concubines and nobles in the hall, the emperor naturally didn't ask too much why he was late, so he nodded indifferently and asked them to go back and sit down.

Liu Yi sat down in his position, and deliberately looked back and greeted Liu Hui with a smile, and looked Hua Lianyue up and down a few times unscrupulously, and then teased in a joking tone: "Presumably this is the second brother, your wife outside, right?"

Although Liu Yi always wore a smile, his attitude was very light, which made Liu Hui feel an evil fire in his heart, and he wanted to ridicule him. Hua Lianyue spoke first: "The prince deserves to be the prince, and he really has good eyesight." Yes, the concubine Hua is the only lady that the virtuous prince marries. I saw that she also had a smile on her face, without the slightest anger or shame after being humiliated, and only deliberately accentuated her tone when she said the only one.

No one in the palace knows that the prince is good for anything else, but he is a little indulgent in women. However, people are not romantic, only for poverty, this era has regarded women as men's accessories, although there is only one wife, the more beautiful concubines the more enviable.

The emperor himself still has three thousand beauties in the harem, even if there are more women in the East Palace, those self-proclaimed celebrities outside will only envy and will not feel wrong.

In contrast, the virtuous king who is growing in power is only Hua Lianyue, a lady, who is really an outlier in the eyes of the world. However, after the crown princess on the side listened to Hua Liyue's words, her eyes couldn't help but reveal strong jealousy and envy.

Liu Yi saw that Hua Lianyue was arrogant when she said this, and there was a hint of arrogance in her expression, as if she was not worried that Liu Hui would lose face because of this. For a while, I didn't know how to organize the language, and then hit the woman in front of me with a face thicker than the city wall.

It's just that he hasn't spoken yet, but Hua Lianyue has spoken again: "The prince likes plum blossoms? Recently, the plum blossoms in my Xian Wang's Mansion have bloomed very well, and I also specially picked the snow on the plum blossoms and hid them in the urn, buried them under the ginkgo tree, and waited for them to be dug out to make tea after the summer solstice next year."

After the snow turns into water, it is the most sweet, and it also carries the fragrance of plum blossoms, which is really the best quality for making tea. If the prince also likes it, I will ask Ah Hui to send you an urn on the summer solstice next year!"

The crown princess snorted lightly with three points of disdain, and said, "Madam Hua is polite, the red plums in our East Palace are also blooming very well this year." Now that the snow has not melted, if you want to use the snow water, there will naturally be palace people carefully prepared, so you won't bother Madame. ”

The crown princess naturally felt that Hua Lianyue suddenly diverted the topic, obviously flattering Liu Yi. It's a pity that after Hua Lianyue killed Huining and Liu Ling, the East Palace and the Xianwang Mansion were destined to form a mortal feud that could not be opened. It's not that she will let it go if she pleases a few words.

"But I was abrupt!" Hua Lianyue smiled faintly at the crown princess, as if she didn't take her provocation in her eyes, and then looked away and whispered to Liu Hui.

Liu Yi frowned and stared at Hua Lianyue fiercely, seeing that her expression was calm and there was no discoloration, not even the slightest hint of uneasiness and anger, he had to rise in his heart with sincere admiration.

Because Liu Yi is not a jealous princess who only knows how to compete for the wind and jealousy, he knows very well that the seemingly delicate woman in front of him has caused huge losses to his interest group. Now she is so calm in front of herself, which shows the strength of her heart.

"It's strange, it's not early, why don't you have a banquet?" Liu Hui raised his head and looked around, but saw that there were many people around him who were just as puzzled as himself, but they didn't dare to complain in front of the emperor.

The emperor's brows have been twisted, although Zhen Zhaoyi and Li Zhaorong are doing it for the first time, there is no shortage of extremely experienced palace people around to help, so it is said that there should be no such mistakes.

The Queen Mother's face became more and more gloomy, but she didn't have a seizure because of her face. The queen is talking to the concubines who are close to her with crooked eyebrows, so she is not in a hurry, it is better to mess up, anyway, today's banquet is not organized by her. Rather than eating noodles, she prefers to watch people make a fool of themselves because of their unfavorable work.

At this time, a palace goddess hurriedly came in a panic and whispered a few words in the ear of Manager Li. Manager Li's expression also changed greatly, and he hurriedly walked to the emperor's side and whispered a few words.

Before Mr. Li finished speaking, the emperor had already stood up, flicked his sleeves, and strode out.

The emperor suddenly said goodbye without saying goodbye, and everyone in the hall was shocked, looking at each other and not knowing what to do. The Queen Mother didn't know what was going on, and while comforting everyone, she quietly asked people to go out to inquire.

In the end, the queen couldn't delay any longer, so she asked the queen mother to give a banquet. With the wine and delicacies flowing up, and the musicians and dancers cheering up, the atmosphere in the hall became lively again.

Bixiao Pavilion was busy, and Zhen Zhaoyi, who was supposed to be presiding over the family banquet, was holding Liu Qi's dilapidated little body and calling desperately. It's a pity that Liu Qi's eyes are closed, and his mother's panicked call can't make him open his eyes.

"What's the matter, why did Ah Qi become like this?" The emperor who came in a hurry saw that half of his youngest son's head had almost become a blood gourd. If you look closely, you will also find that the wound on his head is quite deep, and the skull of Sen Sen inside is faintly visible.

Although some palace people trembled and used white cloth to stop the bleeding for him, it is a pity that the effect is not ideal. The gushing blood not only stained the white cloth red, but also soaked a large piece of the brocade robe on Liu Qi's body, and the brocade robe was already stained with a lot of mud and grass juice, which made it look more and more dirty.

"What happened to the Imperial Doctor? The Nine Emperor Princes have all become like this, and the Imperial Doctor has not come to diagnose and treat him?" The emperor's heart was anxious and painful, and his face suddenly became blue and ugly.

"Back to the emperor!" The steward eunuch of Bixiao Pavilion bent over and said boldly: "I have already sent someone to the Tai Hospital, and our people have pounced, saying that the Tai Doctor on duty today went to Fuxi Pavilion to treat Concubine Shu. Now I need to go to the Fuxi Hall to find people, so I will delay the hour. ”

The emperor was stunned, although he was angry, he still remembered that someone from Fuxi Hall had indeed come to say that Concubine Shu was unwell, so she could not attend the family banquet. Originally, he thought that this was just an excuse for Concubine Shu not to face everyone, but he didn't expect that she was really sick this time, and invited the imperial doctor to see the disease.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, you have to call the shots for Qi'er!" Zhen Zhaoyi had long lost the slightest demeanor, she hugged the emperor's leg with tears in her eyes, and cried: "Our period was harmed by others, and was harmed by others!"

The emperor retracted his thoughts and reprimanded angrily: "Say, what's going on?"

Zhen Zhaoyi immediately turned around and said sharply: "White frost, you come!"

The emperor recognized this palace maid named Baishuang, because she was Zhen Zhaoyi's dowry maid, so Zhen Zhaoyi would rest assured that Liu Qi would be handed over to her.

Bai Shuang also seemed to be frightened, kneeling in front of the emperor, his body still shaking like chaff. Despite her fear, she stammered about what had happened.

It turned out that Liu Qi didn't know why today, and he began to clamore to go to the deer park early in the morning to play. Bai Shuang didn't dare to call the shots and asked Zhen Zhaoyi. Zhen Zhaoyi felt that there were many distinguished guests in the Imperial Garden today, and she was afraid that Liu Qi would be rude in front of people if she was too playful, so she rejected his request, coaxed some kind words and promised to go again tomorrow.

Liu Hui didn't force it at that time, he played in the warm pavilion for a while, and said that he wanted to sleep, and drove out the palace people who were waiting for Baishuang. White Frost was careful, and although he didn't dare to disturb his sleep, he still looked through the curtain several times. But she saw that on the bed with a heavy tent, the Nine Emperor Princes, who covered her whole body with a futon, seemed to be sleeping very sweetly, so she didn't go into the room again to take a closer look.

After more than an hour, Zhen Zhaoyi sent someone to pick up the Nine Emperor Princes to the banquet. After Baishuang entered the house, he found that the bulging futon was actually stuffed with a pillow, and Liu Qi had long since disappeared.

Bai Shuang was not too anxious, and called the rest of the palace people to search the Bixiao Pavilion inside and out, but still did not find Liu Hui's figure, so she began to be anxious.

Bai Shuang hurriedly asked people to inform Zhen Zhaoyi, and he thought carefully about what was abnormal before Liu Qi's disappearance, so someone said that the Nine Emperors went to the Deer Park to play alone.

When she hurried to the vicinity of the deer park, she really found the small footprints belonging to Liu Hui after some searching.

Following his footprints, Baishuang found Liu Qi who had fallen under the rockery in Deer Garden. There was a big hole in his head, and the blood was so hot that it was dissolving a terrible hole in the ice and snow beneath him.

Who would do such a vicious act to an innocent child? The emperor suppressed the anger in his heart and held back a sentence from between his teeth: "On your way to the deer park, who or what can you see?"
