Chapter 33: The Imperial Banquet
Said that it was too late and that it was fast, the one who should come would always come, and Emperor Jing had only been in the palace for two days, and he received the emperor's decree to summon a family banquet in the palace tonight. When the holy decree was announced, it was especially about summoning the elven little lord, the daughter of the Lin Mansion, and Lin Xi.
The choice was difficult, Lin Xi was a time bomb for this palace.
The queen sent people to inquire three times and twice and did not hesitate to test poison and provoke, the world did not want him and Lin Xi to marry, and the current queen must bear the brunt, and the friendship of the three clans is the biggest threat to King Yi's succession.
Again, the relationship between his father and Lin Shangde has always been difficult to distinguish between friend and foe, hiding a knife in his smile and hiding a murderous intention, otherwise how could this Lin Shangde have been summoned eight times and did not visit Kyoto, the great rebellion is naturally a criminal and thief, but he still sits on the south and is entrenched. What he holds in his hand is not only the life and death medicinal materials closely related to the entire human race, but also intelligence and dark lines. Those who get information win the world, so if it weren't for Emperor Jing's mediocrity, where would he be able to tolerate him.
But is Emperor Jing really mediocre?
Choosing his heart trembled, he remembered that his father had told him, "Mu Xiu will blow in the forest wind." "Only when the enemy is arrogant to the extreme can we see the flaws.
Lin Xi was still lingering in his heart, and chose to tease the matter of asking the Holy Decree to consummate the marriage immediately.
In her heart, there is only the rainbow in her eyes at the moment, where can there be sand?
"I'm weak, I'm going to die, I'm going to die. She sat down on the edge of the bed.
"When I watched the rainbow, didn't I still have tears in my eyes. The expression of the choice was as cold as ice, and he ignored it.
This villain is actually monitoring himself, all the time, and he is really ghostly.
"No, you can ask the imperial doctor to take the pulse, my pulse is stagnant and weak. She entered the play as she spoke, but at this time her face was also pale, and her forehead was oozing with sweat.
Speaking of this vein, Lin Xi thought that the Jade Grass Hall had not been treated in vain in the past half a year, although there was no master, but the high apprentices were naturally full of knowledge, for example, Mr. Chen sent himself to collect those rare and exotic herbs in three days, and the proportioning and boiling process were particularly cumbersome, and the drudgery that others were not willing to do was a treasure on her side, plus she had peeked at the internal strength of Mr. Chen's cheats many times. The combination of the two can be very particular about the self-control of people's blood.
In other words, you can control the flow and speed of your blood, for example, when you lose too much blood, you can condense your qi into a lump and block your blood, in other words.
It's just that in this battle on the mountain, I fainted halfway, and I felt that I was hollowed out of my essence and blood, if I stayed awake, I would definitely be able to hold on and protect my heart.
"I'll come. The choice was domineering, and he sat down on the side of the bed, his tall body leaned against Lin Xi, and the sense of oppression was extremely strong in an instant, he roughly grabbed Lin Xi's right wrist, and his fingers rested on her pulse, silent.
Lin Xi looked at his handsome side face, the tip of his nose was slightly upturned, his eyes were cold, and his aura was magnificent.
Well, just like a lion who has always been proud, she thought to herself, poor herself, she should be a fat sheep of the grassland, and she will be the prey after she is captive.
"Have you seen enough?" He suddenly turned his head to look at Lin Xi, leaned closer to his face, aggressive, Lin Xi's eyes were not at all as gentle as the rainbow he had just seen, only disgusted eyes.
"I can't see it dead, this set of clothes will do. After an hour, come with me to the temple. He got up and turned back again, "Don't try not to go, you represent not only yourself, there are more than 300 people in Kyoto Yucaotang, I can't touch your father, but I don't guarantee the safety of those 300 people, their life and death depend on your performance." ”
The moment Lin Xi was excited, his blood was smooth.
The most disgusting thing about this person is that he is disgusted when he does it, such as the Wing Clan being wiped out like this, such as now he says "I can't touch your father", which is too real, "But I don't guarantee the safety of those three hundred people." And what I said before, "Do you want to send a letter to the Splendid Cloth Village?"
Jingwei Heaven and Earth, he is like a god, and the most important thing is to sit still, such as knowing how much his "wife" wants to poison himself.
"Go, I'll go!" Lin Xi got up and straightened her clothes, she was still satisfied with the Fengwu Xiangluo on her body, after all, she had been dressed in gray and dirty clothes for most of the year, and she was dressed in rough cloth clothes.
On the top of the main hall, although it is a family banquet, it is still singing and dancing, and the sleeves are fluttering; The bell rings and the chime is struck, and the music is melodious. Emperor Jing and the empress sat on the upper seat, the left was the concubine and the five princes, and the right was Lin Xi and the three princes.
At the end of the song, Emperor Jing applauded and applauded, and poured the best amber wine into the golden foot bottle, the domineering spirit of not getting drunk and not returning was completely different from the previous state of illness, the queen repeatedly observed, her heart was turbulent, and she did not dare to speak.
"Your Majesty, the dragon body is important, this has just been restored, and it is not appropriate to drink more. She whispered softly in her ear, but she was actually probing Emperor Jing's reaction.
On the other side, Concubine Shu saw that the little elf lord was in good spirits, and Lin Xi sat opposite her five meters away, with good wine and meat, not stopping for a moment, and there was no sign of poisoning at all. Concubine Shu couldn't help but give the queen a look of confusion.
The fifth prince looked at the three princes who dared to be angry and didn't dare to speak, and all the eyeliner and ambush masters he had planted in the palace were nowhere to be found or died suddenly, so the posts were changed to the people of the three princes, but they chose to cherish the city in their hearts, and they didn't confide in their father, let alone confront themselves.
When it comes to the family banquet, everyone else also has their own thoughts.
"You might as well do it, the queen is too worried. Emperor Jing seemed to be a little drunk, and said to His Royal Highness Lin Xi, "The little elf lord really deserves his reputation, they all say that the moon is shy and the fish and geese fall, I think these words are too vulgar to use on Lin Xi, and the little lord's aura is compelling." “
Lin Xi was originally halfway through a leg of mutton, still swallowing in his mouth, and was inexplicably named, so he really choked on it. It was greasy on his hands, filled the wine glass, and drank it with his head covered. "If this is all aura compelling, Emperor Jing, are you blind?" she thought to herself.
"Emperor Xie Jingdi praised that the little girl is not talented and has always been vulgar. Lin Xi finally swallowed the mutton in his mouth and grunted.
"Lin Xi," the queen mother had a motherly expression, "I heard half a year ago that Xue'er is not far away and will go to the south to welcome you to Kyoto, can you get used to living in Kyoto for half a year?"
In fact, she just wanted to ask what she was doing in the past six months, and older women just love gossip.
"Back to the queen's mother, I have been helping to take care of affairs in the Jade Grass Hall for half a year, thanks to the grace of Your Majesty, the outstanding people of Kyoto, everything is fine. When Lin Xi mentioned Yucaotang, he still restrained himself and showed everyone's talents.
"By the way, you've met Concubine Shu. "The queen continues to be unrelenting," Sister Shufei heard that the little master was sick at the front time, but she was concerned. Concubine Shu nodded awkwardly, and the two of them met inside and out, trying to figure out what Lin Xi meant.
"Yes, Concubine Shuniang has seen it, you see today's clothes and the previous chicken soup, but they are all to my liking, and sure enough, the royal quality is superior. Lin Xi scolded in his heart, his mouth was sweet, but this is the case with salty and sweet.
The choice carefully glanced at Emperor Jing's expression. That kind expression is like Emperor Jing who has always been mediocre, but the mystery that his eyes can't hide, he can't go back, Emperor Jing is no longer what it used to be or he has never been that weak chicken, everything is a disguise. Now that King Yi and the four princes have gone to the battlefield, only he and Lin Xi are married, Lin Shangde and King Yi are two factions, thinking of this, he sighed in his heart.
"It's good to adapt to these rules and regulations of the royal family," Emperor Jing spoke, and the casual expression on his face converged, "Princess!"
The prince hurriedly knelt down from outside the door, "Your Majesty, the minister is here." ”
"Tell the world, the three princes and the little lord of Lin Xi, get married on the same day, please give the monks of Donglai Temple an auspicious day of the zodiac. ”
Lin Xi, the empress, the fifth prince and the concubine looked at each other, full of shock.
There was only a choice, and there I drank all the wine in my glass.
Lin Xi remembered the angry words that day when she made a choice, saying that he had asked her father to get married on the same day, and her eyes were full of hatred for the choice.
"Back to Your Majesty, now that the world is suffering from internal and external troubles, Lin Xi is willing to go to the front line with his own strength, and the country is not sure what to call home!" Lin Xi hurriedly got up and knelt down, kowtowing and accepting his fate.
I thought that I could make a hasty decision to beg for a good job, but who knew that Long Yan was furious, and Emperor Jing threw the cup in his hand directly down the steps, "Ridiculous, my human race actually needs a female stream to decide today!"
After the golden foot bottle was vigorously thrown down the steps, it was actually broken, it was a high-quality golden foot, and everyone was like a vegetable, and they didn't dare to say more.
"Back to Your Majesty, the little girl doesn't measure herself, it's just that the little girl is sick. Lin Xi said while luck blood, against the qi against the heart vein, the internal organs were oppressed, and a mouthful of blood sprayed directly on the main hall.
The concubine next to her couldn't help but scream, and then gagged her mouth with Sepa.
"When the little girl studied herbs before, she was heavily poisonous, so she didn't even think of the poison of Heding Red. As she spoke, she looked up at the queen and the concubine, her eyes provocative.
Emperor Jing looked up to the sky and laughed, that smile made people frightened, and the prince immediately dismissed the wind music singers and dancers present.
Then he silently walked out and closed the door of the temple.
Emperor Jing walked to the steps step by step, Lin Xi felt that there was a black oppressive aura facing the approach, that external force could directly provoke her own heart vein, the heart vein that had been sealed by the adverse qi before was actually forcibly opened, she felt that her internal organs were torn apart, and she reached out and grabbed her chest in pain.
"Father!" the choice rushed in front of Lin Xi, his expression was calm, and he knelt on the ground and kowtowed. "Thank you, Lord Ron. “
Suddenly there was lightning and thunder outside, ****. This night seems to announce the return of Emperor Jing, the king of the human race. Those filthy and despicable courtiers, the time left for you to be arrogant is over.
