When the black-robed man heard this, he lowered his head and pleaded in a deep voice, "I also ask my father to allow his sons and daughters to tell ...... privately."

Before the words fell, Xia Hao didn't say anything, but Xia Zihe suddenly stood up, slowly left his position, and interjected, "There is a family affair about the royal family, and it is also a state affair." Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 infoSince the imperial brother wants to discuss it privately with his father. There can't be no owner in the palace, why don't you invite the queen to come and accompany the emperor to the banquet on behalf of your father?"

He walked to the front of the hall and bowed to the king on the dragon chair, and the palm prints on his white face fell in the light, causing Xia Hao's eyes to linger in his face intentionally or unintentionally, but he didn't ask anything.

Xia Hao had already stood up from the dragon chair at this time, turned around with his hands behind his back and seemed to leave. Seeing this, the woman in white and yellow dress hurriedly walked up the steps and prepared to step forward to help. But Xia Hao stopped in front of the dragon chair, did not take a step forward, just slowly turned his face and looked at Wu Ying who was sitting on one side, his gaze stopped on Wu Ying's face, and then turned around in front of Xia Zihe and Xia Zihai.

There was silence all around, and the only sound could be heard of the candles on the lighthouse. All eyes were on Xia Hao, not knowing what he was going to do.

But the silent atmosphere soon dissipated, Xia Hao spoke, his voice was still low, but the cold expression on his face eased a little, he said lightly, "Although tonight is a dinner party, Tianshan is a matter of state affairs, and the harem concubines should not be involved in politics, at this time it is late at night, why bother the queen again, let her rest in the harem." ”

When Xia Zihe heard this, he immediately responded and said, "What my father said is that my son's ministers didn't think it through. ”

Xia Hao nodded, sat back on the dragon chair, and finally looked at Xia Zihai and said, "Since you're here, why bother to sit down and drink some wine for a while......

As soon as these words came out, the music immediately began to play again in the hall, and the singers danced again, and the guests were happy, talking and laughing, as if the short pause just now did not exist.

A palace man brought in a table and placed it in the second position on Xia Hao's right hand. A momentary smile appeared on the face of the palace maid, but she quickly lowered her head unnaturally and whispered to Xia Zihai, "Great Prince, please." ”

When he just entered the hall, there were only four vacant seats on Xia Hao's right, Xia Zihe sat in the penultimate position as a matter of course, and now another seat has been added, but why? Wu Yan raised his eyes to look at the man in a yellow robe in the hall, he was holding a wine glass from the table in front of him at this time, and invited a cup to Wu Ying.

The woman in white and yellow dress also walked to the dragon chair and poured wine for Xia Hao in person, Xia Hao glanced at her, and suddenly said, "Tonight's good night is like this, why don't you dance for everyone and cheer everyone up." Your dancing skills are excellent in the palace, I want to be a phoenix Qiuluan, a dance, overwhelm the Quartet, and be amazed, why don't you let the witch also see it?"

Xia Hao's voice had always been low before, and the warmth on his face was insufficient, but when he opened his mouth to talk to this woman in white and yellow dress at this time, his eyebrows were gentle and his words were warm. When the woman known as the girl heard this, her jade fingers were slender, she lightly twisted the embroidered handkerchief, she hid her smile slightly, and said with disgust in her eyes, "What the saint said is really that the inside and outside of the witch are not people, it's not that the witch is unwilling to offer ugliness, but I heard that it is to wash the dust of the witch, so I personally train the dancing girl to dance tonight, if I rush up to dance at this moment, wouldn't it be self-demolition? I hope the witch will not be surprised." ”

The music in the hall changed suddenly, from charming and melancholy to a melodious and brisk tune, and the dancers who originally danced were put aside, and a woman wearing a colorful dress covering a white veil danced with a song, neither showing her posture nor fiddling with her charming and delicate body. She danced to the music, and saw her bright eyes flowing under the light, which was very moving.

Xia Zihai saw that everyone was looking at the dancing girl in the hall at this time, and he also turned around, his face was extremely calm, his face was as calm as a knife, he didn't see the color of joy and anger, his thin lips and nose, and his black ink-like eyes glanced at Xia Zihe lightly, as well as the seat behind Xia Zihe.

Xia Zihe originally also looked at the colorful clothes dancing girl in this hall, but when he turned his eyes, he saw the black-robed man looking at him, and a smile immediately appeared on his face, and he turned sideways to give way to the position behind him. But Xia Zihai retracted his gaze, turned to Xia Hao and bowed, and said, "Erchen's foot injury has just healed, and he doesn't dare to drink, and he also asks his father to forgive him, and allows Erchen to retreat first and wait outside the palace." ”

Xia Hao's eyes moved away from the colorful dancer, and he lowered his eyes and was silent for a long time before he said quietly, "Then let's go to the study and wait first."

After that, his eyes returned to the dancing girl, and he didn't look at Xia Zihai again, Xia Zihai saw this, and did not stand in the hall for a moment, and immediately walked out silently.

Xia Zihe didn't wait until the figure of the black-robed man disappeared into the hall, and glanced at the dancing girl who was still dancing, snorted coldly, and said softly with disdain, "The old trick that never gets tired of use", he had stepped back to his position at this time and sat down, drank all the wine in the wine glass, and saw that no one filled the wine glass, so he simply raised the empty wine glass in front of Wu Ying, waiting for Wu Yan to pour out the wine in the wine jug, but after waiting for a long time, he saw that Wu Yan was indifferent. He simply took the wine jug in Wu Yan's hand back to his hand, shook it, poured half a glass, and sipped it slightly, only to realize that the wine was cold and astringent. There happened to be a palace maid serving food next to him, so he put the pot of wine on the plate in front of the palace maid and said, "Go and bring a bowl of goat milk." ”

The palace maid immediately responded, Xia Zihe glanced sideways at Wu Yan behind him, and asked, "My father has a total of four sons, the eldest prince Xia Zihai, you have met just now, what do you think of others?"

Wu Yan's eyes swept over Xia Zihe, remembering Xia Zihai's resolute back when he left just now, the corners of his lips pursed, and he smiled but didn't say anything. But in his heart, he couldn't help but think that in the palace, as a half-brother, he could already wave his palms between words, if it weren't for the discord between the brothers to this point, what else could there be. It's just that I don't know who caused this sibling feud first.

"The position of the crown prince, since ancient times, has been inherited in accordance with the system of 'establishing a descendant with a long rather than virtuous, and establishing a son with a noble rather than a long'. My eldest brother is the son of the current queen, the most expensive and the oldest, why has he, as the eldest son, not been crowned the crown prince for a long time?"

Seeing that Wu Yan didn't have any response, the corners of Xia Zihe's lips curled, and he suddenly laughed, so he could only continue his words and said, "It is rumored that my father and emperor are reluctant to establish a prince because he is unwilling to pass on the throne to him and hand over the huge country to him. ”

As he spoke, he raised his hand to support his chin, turned his head to look at Wu Yan, and stared at Wu Yan without blinking, as if to see how she would react.
