Chapter 61: The Dragon Among Men
The banquet is still held in the middle of a song and dance. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info music bursts, a group of singing and dancing to level up.
Since her rebirth, Fu Yanxi has been deeply touched every time she sees a prosperous scene, perhaps because of her perception of the world after dying once.
She didn't want to watch the song and dance, she just silently looked at the various people at the banquet, and even quietly guessed their future and ending in her heart.
Prince Helian Congmo is the person Fu Yanxi is most interested in now. Because of the good impression that Fu Yanxi had established on the queen and Helian Yexue in the queen's palace in the afternoon, Fu Yanxi was extremely sorry for the tragic ending of the prince in his previous life. In fact, in essence, she is because of her father, and she wants to find out whether the prince will eventually embark on the road of rebellion.
Helian Congmo and his sister Helian Yexue occasionally talked to each other, and Fu Yanxi's every move was watched.
Although it is a little far away, Fu Yanxi can feel the aura of the crown prince who is very similar to that of Queen Ruan, acting politely and decently, elegant and noble, elegant and introverted, and the third prince Helian Congfeng, who is very eye-catching in the crowd, is essentially different.
Perhaps it was because of the deep estrangement between the three princes and the Hengyang King faction in his previous life, and Fu Yanxi's instinctive resistance to Helian Congfeng. Therefore, she felt from the bottom of her heart that although the current crown prince could not determine whether he was more suitable to be the emperor than the third prince, she just felt that he was not a person who would rebel against the palace.
Of course, she couldn't do all this as she wanted, and she thought that neither she nor her father could think of the ability to change the fact of the change of imperial power.
However, in the previous life, until the emperor was seriously ill, the crown prince was always the prince, if the emperor unfortunately died, the prince could rightfully succeed to the throne, why bother to saddle himself with the infamy of killing the monarch and usurping power.
Thinking about the consistent style of King Hengyang and Fu Qinglin, Fu Yanxi felt that the prince's crime must be a trumped-up charge added to the power struggle, and her father was implicated by the way. After all, it is not uncommon for the three princes to do the matter of Zhang Guan and Li Dai.
Since talking frankly with his father and brother, Fu Yanxi unreservedly told his father about his suspicions about Fu Qinglin. And Fu Qingyan was not surprised when she heard it, Fu Yanxi knew that her father must have been prepared.
But she didn't dare to say anything about the succession of the third prince to the throne, but it seemed that Fu Qingyan seemed to know something, and Fu Yanxi no longer delved into this matter, she only cared about her father's attitude.
The truth of the collusion between Fu Qinglin and King Hengyang is about to come out, which means that if you want to prevent Fu Qinglin from ruining their families like in their previous lives, the most fundamental thing is to prevent the three princes from ascending the throne. I believe that this will not be impossible to see in Fu Qingyan's mind.
Fu Yanxi was very worried, she was more skeptical that they had such an ability, but it seemed that thinking of this, Fu Yanxi glanced at Fu Qingyan, who was toasting with Pingnanhou, and her father seemed to be very confident in this matter.
Could it be that many things after her rebirth in this life are completely different from those in her previous life? There must be some unspeakable factor that is changing subtly and causing the final event to be turned upside down.
Fu Yanxi's eyes looked back and forth on the crown prince, the third prince, and the fifth prince, among the emperor's many dragon sons, these three people are the three most competitive camps in the battle for the throne today. The crown prince is elegant, the third prince is domineering, and the fifth prince is ruthless, she is still more optimistic about the prince in comparison.
The prince seemed to feel Fu Yanxi's non-stop scrutiny, and looked over here, Fu Yanxi was a little embarrassed, and hurriedly moved his gaze and pretended not to know. But it happened to be the Prince of Royal's table on the opposite side of Helian Congyu's gaze.
Helian Congyu obviously knew everything about Fu Yanxi's gaze just now, so his eyes and expressions looked very subtle and interesting. Fu Yanxi hadn't seen him since the plum blossom banquet, and when she saw him in Chad today, she didn't know what kind of emotions to use to treat him. simply met his gaze and was stunned.
Helian Congyu was a little strange in her heart, and she didn't know what she was thinking, so she had to uncomfortably shift her gaze and lower her head and sip her wine glass. It's just that the eyes are always looking at the other side, intentionally or unintentionally.
"Your Majesty, banquets and performances have always been such a rule, and today's concubines have an interesting idea, and it is easy to relieve boredom by changing tricks." Fu Yanxi's stunned expression was interrupted by the delicate voice of the imperial concubine, and then she saw that everyone stopped talking and looked at the imperial concubine in the upper seat.
The imperial concubine was very satisfied with everyone's attention, and deliberately paused for a while to sell off.
The emperor smiled and asked, "I wonder what kind of idea Concubine Ai came up with?" ”
The imperial concubine smiled and said: "If you let these children perform one by one, it's weird and boring, why don't we make a stick and let them get together, I don't know what the emperor thinks?" ”
When the emperor heard this, his eyes flashed, and he returned to normal in an instant, and the smile on the corner of his mouth deepened, but he said: "What Concubine Ai said is very true, today is the New Year, I should have fun with all Aiqing, so I don't have to worry about anything." ”
The imperial concubine smiled even more softly when she heard this, and waved her hand to summon a palace person, holding a small jade tube in her hand, in which were placed a few bamboo strips about an inch wide.
It turned out to be ready for a long time. Everyone knew it.
"This is the lot, write your name on the stick, draw one of each other, and whoever draws is in a group with whomever you want, and perform together. I wonder what the adults think? The imperial concubine explained.
"Niang Niang Hui has a blue heart, and the ministers are willing to listen to Niang Niang's arrangement." Liu Yuanfeng, the king of Hengyang, sang and harmonized with his sister, and when he said this, the other ministers had nothing to say.
Seeing that no one objected, the imperial concubine instructed the palace people to write the names of the young ladies of the family one by one, and in order to appear more interested, she asked several young ladies of the family present to draw lots, but the sons of the family could not draw. This time the imperial concubine's intentions are even more obvious.
Fu Yanxi naturally sensed the deep meaning of the imperial concubine, and definitely wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to use the marriage between these families to seek benefits for herself according to her wishes. Therefore, Fu Yanxi was reluctant to draw this lot.
I never thought that the imperial concubine would focus on the names of several young ladies, all of which had been mentioned in the queen's palace before, and it was impossible for Fu Yanxi to refuse even if she wanted to.
At the end of the first round of lottery, the imperial concubine will read out the results one by one.
Helian Yexue and Hengyang Wang Shizi Liu moved in a group, Helian Mingyue drew Fu Zichen, but Liu Susu and Helian Congyu drew together. Lin Yishu drew Han Zheng, the prince of Pingnan and Han Jinse's own brother, but Han Jinse was in a group with the fifth prince Helian Congjia. The third prince Helian Congfeng has already married and is no longer participating, and Fu Yanxi coincidentally drew the fourth prince Helian Congzhe.
Just looking at this combination, the imperial concubine's thoughts and calculations are clearly revealed.
