Chapter 5: Potential
The carriage walked slowly, as if it had been done by chance. The long silence of the pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info made Du Weiwei feel extremely uncomfortable, and it also made her suddenly realize that it was not far from the palace but she had walked for a long time.
"I hope that the prince at least won't make some unjust means now." Du Wei looked at He Xiao and sneered.
He Xiao had no expression on his face and glanced at her: "This king still disdains to do such a thing." ”
Du Weiwei felt a burst of resentment in his heart: "That's naturally the best." ”
When he arrived at the palace gate, Du Weiwei lifted the curtains slightly and looked out, and found that there was no carriage around.
When he got up and was about to get out of the car and walk into the palace, the carriage moved again, and he fell backwards hard without standing firm, Du Weiwei's right hand suddenly stretched out and wanted to grab the curtain by the door, but he slipped by mistake, and saw that he was going to fall miserably, Du Weiwei closed his eyes and thought, it's over.
In the next second, the body entered a generous embrace, and the faint fragrance of the feather garden entered Du Weiwei's nose, which smelled extremely good. When he opened his eyes, he saw He Xiao's cold face again, and hurriedly got up and withdrew from his embrace, but his face was slightly warm.
He Xiao looked at the empty arm, and felt a faint loss in her heart, but she didn't show it on her face at all, but said lightly: "I didn't expect that Miss Du still likes to throw herself into her arms." ”
Du bit his lip slightly, and only spoke for a long time: "Slightly disturb the prince." At this moment, Du Weiwei just wanted to enter the palace as soon as possible and stay away from this cold-blooded king.
The carriage was still walking unhurriedly in the palace, and Du Weiwei finally found that the power of the king was so great that his carriage and horses were allowed to move around in the palace, and he knew in his heart that he would stay away from this person in the future.
"Greetings to the departing king." The voice of the little eunuch sounded, and some noise could be heard from a distance, Du Weiwei was shocked, this was directly driving the car to the Chenghuan Hall of the banquet?
"Greetings to the departing king."
"Greetings to the departing king."
"Greetings to the departing king."
The three doors of the Chenghuan Hall began to speak, one voice higher than the other.
He Xiao had already gotten off the carriage, but he didn't take a step, and looked at the carriage with a smile in his heart but without a smile.
Du Weiwei was already a little annoyed at this time, he was already late for the banquet, and if he entered the palace at the same time as King Lizun at this time, he didn't know what others would think.
Seeing that King Lizun did not move, the little eunuch was a little puzzled: "Prince, please enter the palace, the emperor has been waiting for the prince for a long time." ”
He Xiao still didn't move, looked at the carriage and said, "Wei'er, don't you come down yet?" ”
The little eunuch was startled, it turned out that there were still people in the carriage.
Tian lifted the curtain and greeted Du Wei Wei with great respect.
The water-white skirt was slightly blown by the wind, and the hair was slightly messy by the wind, but it added another kind of beauty to Du Weiwei, and the little eunuch was a little stunned, whose young lady was this, and she was able to enter the palace with the reacquaintance of the king.
He Xiao approached Du Weiwei's side and said in a voice that only two people could hear: "If you don't want to be punished, follow this king into the palace together, and this king can protect you from nothing." After speaking, he stretched out his left hand towards Du Weiwei.
Du Wei looked at that hand for a long time, and then slowly put his right hand into it, and replied in a lower voice: "There is Lord Lao." But this does not mean that he accepted the prince slightly, and I hope that the prince will not misunderstand. ”
"Huh." He Xiao smiled lowly, grabbed Du Weiwei's hand tightly, and walked towards the hall.
The little eunuch was shocked for a while, forgot to greet him, and patted him on the shoulder: "Father-in-law, I welcome my master." Only then did the little eunuch react and said loudly: "Welcome to the palace." ”
"Welcome the departing king into the palace."
"Welcome the departing king into the palace."
"Welcome the departing king into the palace."
The sound of the three doors was heard again, and when the last sound fell, He Xiao held Du Weiwei's hand and appeared in front of everyone.
In an instant, the Chenghuan Hall was quiet.
Du Wei was flustered for a moment, but the next second he felt the power from He Xiao in his right hand, raised his head, lowered his eyes slightly, and the smile on the corner of his mouth was shallow, showing himself to everyone in this hall.
He Xiao smiled evilly, holding Du Weiwei's hand tightly, there was a hint of a smile on his arrogant face, but there was no other movement at all.
Many years later, when someone mentions that banquet, they will always talk about the scene when King Lizun and Miss Du entered the palace, and they only feel that they are shocked, the man is like a god in the world, and the majestic air comes out of the trend, and the woman is like a fairy descending to the sky, faint and beautiful, and the two stand together as if they are a heavenly gift like a picturesque couple.
"He Xiao is late, I hope the emperor will atone for his sins." He Xiao bowed his head slightly, but he didn't mean to kneel. Du Weiwei knew that he was not comparable to him, and wanted to break free from his subordinates and kneel to plead guilty, but he was held by He Xiao and couldn't break free, so he had to bow his head deeply and ask the emperor for his guilt: "The courtier Du Weiwei is late, please atone for the emperor." ”
Mu Yunde was already old, but his eyes were still shining, he looked at the hands of the two of them holding together, and laughed: "He Xiao, it seems that this hero is sad to pass the beauty pass, and you haven't escaped this sentence." This Miss Du family actually made you, a person who is never late, late. In the words, the dots seemed to blame Du Weiwei.
Du Yunshi on the side was already worried after listening to the other two daughters say that Du Weiwei was taken away by King Lizun, and regretted not letting her ride with him, and now seeing that the emperor was going to punish his daughter, he was even more angry.
On the other side, Du Weiwei was thinking about how to speak, and He Xiao had already taken the emperor's words: "Your Majesty, this matter has nothing to do with Wei'er. Wei'er and the minister are in love, and the minister is in the frontier all the year round, and it is rare to return to Beijing. This is the first meeting between Chen and Wei'er after returning to Beijing, and there are many endless things to talk to each other, so they are late" After speaking, he turned his head and looked at Du Weiwei very affectionately.
your love! Du Weiwei slandered in his heart, this He Xiao, one bite at a time, is really addictive! But he can't show it on the face, and the top priority is to pass the emperor's pass first. After thinking for a while, Du Weiwei simply stopped speaking, and returned He Xiao's lingering look.
"That's it, this banquet is for you, as long as you come." Mu Yunde waved his hand, very tolerant of He Xiao, but glanced at Du Weiwei meaningfully, "Take a seat." ”
Du Weiwei's heart was relieved, and he finally let go of his worries, struggled to take off He Xiao's hand, and walked towards Du Yunshi's table.
He Xiao felt empty in his hands, raised his eyebrows and just wanted to say something, when he saw Du Weiwei walking towards the table of Lord Xiangguo, and swallowed the words back.
As He Xiao and Du Weiwei sat down, the dust washing banquet of King Lizun officially began.
As soon as Du Weiwei sat down beside Du Yunshi, Du Yunshi asked in a low voice, with obvious nervousness in his voice: "Weiwei, didn't King Lizun do anything to you, right?" ”
Du Weiwei didn't want to speak, just shook his head to answer him, Du Yunshi still wanted to ask something, probably because he found it inappropriate, and finally closed his mouth.
Du glanced at Du Yan'er and Du Piaoling slightly, although the two of them lowered their heads, they could still feel their jealousy, and the corners of their mouths pulled up a sneer, do you still want to thank He Xiao for giving her such a good opportunity to hit them?
Picking up the wine glass and taking a sip, Du Wei quietly looked around, the emperor and queen were sitting on the royal chair, and the first one on the left hand side was King Lizun, who was holding the wine glass to toast Mu Tiande, and turned his eyes to look away, but he didn't notice He Xiao's eyes looking at him in the next second.
On the right hand, starting from the first place, sit the eldest prince, the third prince, the fourth prince, and the thirteenth prince. Looking at the past one by one, Du Weiwei had a more impression of a few people, and the intelligence of the dark pavilion showed that the eldest prince Mu Yungu was steady and promising, although his appearance was not outstanding, but he had always taken it as his responsibility to be friendly to the people, and many people felt that the next lord of the Tingyuan Kingdom must be Mu Yungu.
The third prince Mu Yunxin, famous for his charm, is said to be born with glass beads in his mouth, with a brilliant body, as he grows older, Mu Yunxin is more and more charming, and it is said that when a woman looks at him, she will feel inferior. At this moment, he was leaning on the table extremely charmingly, slowly drinking the wine one by one.
The fourth prince, Mu Yunjin, sat in a white dress, his slender fingers rubbing the white jade wine glass, his eyebrows and eyes were indifferent, and his appearance of being born without dust was admirable. It is rumored that Mo Shang Yan is like jade, and Gongzi Wushuang is the Mu Yunjin who is specifically referred to.
The last one to sit was the thirteenth prince Mu Yunji, the dark purple snake robe was worn obediently, probably because of the youngest, there seemed to be a childlike light in his eyes, and he gave the wine in the cup to the little eunuch beside him slightly mischievously and laughed.
Du Weiwei lowered his eyes and stopped looking at it, and obediently ate the dishes in front of him, like a beautiful demeanor. But in the next second, he felt two lines of sight falling on him, and before he looked up, he realized that one was the line of sight from the left, and the other... Raising his head slightly, Du Weiwei's eyes had already met the bewitching eyes of the third prince Mu Yunxin.
When Du Weiwei and He Xiao entered the hall together just now, Mu Yunxin already had curiosity about this girl who looked well-behaved but was not, you know, Du Weiwei's secret move of wanting to break free from He Xiao's hand fell into his eyes at all, just now, this girl's behavior of looking around made him more interested.
Du Weiwei reacted very quickly, smiled lightly at Mu Yunxin, and quickly lowered his head again. For her, in today's scene, if you can do less, you will have one less thing, as Du Yunshi said, for the sake of Du Mansion, there is not much to do.
Mu Yunxin raised his eyebrows, hooked the corners of his mouth and smiled evilly, what an interesting girl.
He Xiao looked in all directions, and Du Weiwei's new smile at Mu Yun fell into his eyes, and he didn't move.
"Come on, come on, I'm so happy today, it just so happens that you Aiqing has brought your own daughters. In my opinion, it's better to take advantage of this excitement to help the fun, He Xiao, what do you think? Mu Tiande clapped his hands, and the palace suddenly fell silent.
It was He Xiao's dust-washing banquet, and Mu Tiande wanted to choose a concubine for his son, so he had to ask his opinion.
"It doesn't matter. The emperor is happy. He Xiao nodded slightly, to show her opinion, Yu Guang looked at Du Weiwei slightly, only to see that Du Weiwei was still with his head down, as if he hadn't heard any movement at all, eating vegetables as usual, with a faint smile in his eyes.
Although he lowered his head, Du Weiwei was still very clear about the movement in the palace, and heard that the emperor said that he wanted to let the ladies of the family help the fun, but in fact he was secretly choosing concubines for the princes, and he was inexplicably relieved, Du Weiwei attributed this to the fact that today's banquet would not affect the Du family.
"If any Aiqing is interested, don't be polite, let your daughter perform a show, it can be regarded as adding fun to this dust-washing feast, hahaha." Mu Tiande said loudly, but the light in his eyes did not diminish at all, and he looked around everyone in the hall like a cheetah.
For a while, there was no movement in the hall. He Xiao glanced at everyone, and sneered in his heart, what a group of old foxes.
