Chapter 114: Temper Temper
After the protagonist of the birthday banquet was seated, the banquet began under the sound of silk and bamboo. On the splendid hall, singing and dancing are leveled, and the planning is staggered. This dancing girl danced the stage, but the people in the audience had their own thoughts.
Lin Xuan couldn't hide his excitement from the beginning, and his mind was full of fantasies about Lin Qingge's downcast when he made a fool of himself, but he didn't expect that the person who ended up in this field was himself. And Lin Qingge, who was opposite her, also had no intention of watching the performance, and the delicacies on the table only had a pair, and she ate two bites at random without a match.
The singers and dancers in this imperial city, although they are all extraordinary, can see too much, and it is inevitable that they will get bored. And this good food is the same, anyone feels tired of eating too much, sometimes Lin Qingge still likes the roadside stalls in Yanjing City.
Finally, more than half of the birthday banquet, various mansions and palaces also began to offer birthday gifts. The Internal Affairs Office, the Shang Wardrobe, and countless princes and nobles all sent people to present birthday gifts one by one in front of Guangzong. This gift is nothing more than some cheesy gold and silver jewelry, or a mess of calligraphy and paintings. It's just a formality, these things are grabbed in the treasury of the imperial city, and no one is rare. Lin Qingge looked at the assembly-line-like scene in front of him and scratched his neck boringly.
At this time, a disgusting female voice came from the other side: "Sister, my sister is very curious to hear that you have gone to great lengths to find a great gift for your father! ”
Don't even think about it, everything has her Lin Xuan. Although the hall was full of noise, Lin Xuan's words were loud enough, the whole banquet was quiet, everyone's eyes were focused on Lin Qingge and Lin Xuan, and many ministers began to pat their asses and say that they wanted to feast their eyes.
It's just that Lin Xuan couldn't wait too much, and before Lin Qingge could speak, he waved his hand and motioned for someone to carry a large wooden box up.
The moment the box was opened, everyone's eyes widened. I saw a few fine silk horses lying inside, reflecting the faint light under the illumination of the light, and just looking at it could feel its suppleness like water.
A minister who was closer to the wooden box couldn't help but praise again and again: "The old minister has never seen such a beautiful texture of silk at such an old age, Princess Ling Wei must have spent a lot of effort." Your Majesty, you have such a virtuous daughter, and you teach well!"
When he said this, the people who were stunned by the silk came to life, and the praise was endless, but it was more or less flattering.
However, Lin Qingge didn't care, as long as his goal could be achieved. She tilted her head, swept her eyes to Lin Xuan, who had already changed her face on the other side, forced her smile to owe her body, and tried her best to make her voice sound gentle, so as to fit her White Lotus personality: "Sister said that it was funny, this gift is not too valuable, and it is enough when the heart arrives." However, what my sister has prepared, Hongu is very curious. ”
Lin Xuan's face at this time was extremely ugly, things shouldn't be like this. Could it be that the useless woman didn't find a chance to start? She pulled the corners of her mouth stiffly and said: "My sister is not talented, naturally she is not as good as my sister, the gift is not very precious, and I hope that my father will not look down on it." ”
At this time, several maidservants carried a heavy wooden box to the front of the temple. Under the attention of everyone, the wooden box slowly opened, and the moment he saw the wooden box, Lin Xuan's face turned pale. Her ten fingers were clenched, her sharp nails pierced her palms, and her whole body trembled slightly. Concubine Ning also glared at this uncompetitive daughter slightly.
"It seems that my sister is modest, I'm afraid this wall clock is from Daqin, thousands of miles away, my sister can find this, it must be not easy... It's just that... This..."Lin Qingge said this, paused deliberately, with a look of embarrassment on his face, admiring Lin Xuan's expression that was about to get out of control.
"This bell... Same as 'end', the second princess sent 'end' on His Majesty's birthday... It's not appropriate. "The minister who spoke had a gray beard, and he was a well-known rectum in the court, and he dared to say anything.
As soon as he said this, the ministers who already felt that it was inappropriate but did not dare to speak out began to discuss it one after another. Don't look at these people who usually fight each other in the court, but they have a very unified opinion. All kinds of ugly and sharp words were spoken, and Lin Xuan's face turned into an ugly pig liver color little by little.
Finally, Lin Xuan broke out. She stared at her eyes like dead fish eyes, and the green tendons on her forehead burst out, and she went straight towards Lin Qingge like crazy. In an instant, she pulled out the hairpin on the top of her head and stabbed Lin Qingge's neck fiercely.
"Slut, are you doing the right thing?" Lin Xuan shouted hysterically, and the hairpin in his hand had already pierced it. I don't know if everyone was stunned, or if it was just like watching a lively scene, and no one stopped it. Lin Xiu instinctively wanted to push Lin Qingge away, but he caught a glimpse of Lin Qingge's hand behind his back and gave him a hint not to move.
At the second when Lin Xiu hesitated, Lin Qingge didn't dodge, and the hairpin went straight into her slender and white neck. What everyone didn't notice was that at the moment when the hairpin stabbed her, Lin Qingge deviated her neck, she knew where to stab the fastest, and she knew where to stab the most blood.
Lin Qingge subconsciously raised his hand to touch his neck, and came back with a warm palm. Blood gushed out, and the color was like the fine red agate in the palace, blooming like a flower, dyeing her pure white placket. The pain was surging, and Lin Qingge could clearly feel that the blood was flowing out in large quantities, but there was no way to stop it. She wasn't afraid of pain, so she didn't shed tears, she just wondered if he had experienced such despair when he died.
Lin Qingge closed his eyes and slowly fell back, no matter what, the play still had to be finished. As expected, Lin Xiu caught her. He took her in his arms and ran out of the hall as if no one was around. He regretted it a little, because he began to wonder if it was right or wrong for him to let her do this.
Lin Xiu ran so fast that he had always been calm and even almost knocked down the palace maid on the side of the road. He didn't take Lin Qingge back to the Purple Smoke Palace, but went straight to the Tai Hospital. Lin Xiu kicked open the wooden door of the Tai Hospital, stunned the Tai Doctors who were sorting out the medicinal materials inside, and said angrily: "What are you doing in a daze, save people!"
"Yes, yes, yes!" These old guys had never seen the prince so anxious and irritable, and they didn't dare to be sloppy at all, so they hurriedly ran over to check on Lin Qingge's situation.
Lin Xiu gently placed the fainting Lin Qingge on the couch, and on the Xiao-colored python robe, he couldn't tell which place was blood stains and which place was dark lines.
