Episode 23 Shou Ye vs Princess Qingyi
Reflecting the intoxicating candle color, a gentle man dressed in a dark four-clawed python robe came, and the candle flame fell on the man's face, flowing intoxicated and gentle.
"The sons and daughters see their father, see the queen mother, and wish the queen mother a happy and longevity."
"Pounce!" Ji Xiamo sprayed, but fortunately, everyone's eyes were focused on this prince at this time, so they didn't notice Ji Xiamo's gaffe.
Ji Xia Mo looked at the man kneeling under His Royal Highness, and suddenly felt that the jade pendant in his arms that had not yet been covered with heat was a little panicked.
"Take a seat." Seeing the crown prince, the cold and hard expression on Emperor Fengyuan's face softened slightly, and he gestured.
"Yes! Thank you! Prince Feng Lingchen kowtowed, got up and sat down beside Feng Shaojin. When Feng Lingchen sat down, Feng Shaojin laughed in a low voice. "You can count on it, I'm here to drink, but it's not tasteful."
"Today's birthday of the Queen Mother, you drink less, don't lose your temper." Feng Lingchen whispered, but he also accepted the affection in his hand, took the wine handed by Feng Shaojin, and drank it all.
Ji Xiamo watched Feng Lingchen chewing a shrimp dryly, his eyes rolling around. As if sensing Ji Xiamo's gaze, Feng Lingchen raised his head and collided with Ji Xiamo, nodded his head, with a gentle smile on the corner of his mouth.
Looking at Feng Lingchen's smiling eyes, Ji Xiamo shrank his head and was stunned.
Feng Lingchen covered his lips with a wine glass, hiding the smile at the corner of his mouth, with a faint pleasure in his eyes.
Just when Ji Xia Mo was struggling with whether to return the jade pendant, suddenly, the music in the hall changed, the dancers retreated one after another, and the colorful glass lamps slowly rose from the center of the hall, and the faint fragrance of flowers filled the hall with the glass lamps.
The people in the main hall were puzzled in their hearts, and looked at the hall with wine. The petals withered, and a girl in blue slowly flew down from the sky. The dancing sleeves are flying, the green silk is dyed, like a fairy, and the posture of the alluring city is like a fairy girl who walks out of the painting. Even Ji Xiamo, who has always said 'emptiness is color, โกโก', can't help but be in a trance for a moment.
The girl landed, the sound of silk and bamboo, and the dancing girl accompanied the left and right. The girl danced the water sleeves, her steps were light, her waist was slender and she seemed to be weak and boneless, and the wide water sleeves covered her face, revealing a pair of water eyes that seemed to be angry and angry, which attracted people's hearts.
Everyone in the hall was so fascinated by the girl's dance that they almost forgot to breathe. The girl looked back and smiled, which made everyone's hearts beat, and she said in her heart that she was 'stupid, stupid'.
Ji Xiamo's hand was placed under the table, and he secretly pinched himself, and sighed lightly in his heart, 'Whoever marries such a woman will be unlucky'.
At the end of the song, the dancing girl retreated, but everyone was still immersed in the ripples of their hearts just now, and they couldn't come back to their senses. The girl lowered her eyes, hid the ridicule in her eyes, took two steps forward, and leaned over slightly, "Qingyi see the father and the emperor, see the queen mother." โ
"Qingyi is here?" Seeing the girl, the Queen Mother couldn't hide the love in her eyes and stretched out her hand to the girl. "Come, sit here."
Qingyi?? Ji Xia Mo flattened his mouth, and suddenly Spartan in his heart! Isn't that her daughter-in-law who hasn't passed through the door?
"Queen Mother, do you still like Qingyi's gift?" Qingyi snuggled up to the Queen Mother, her voice was soft and glutinous, and she said coquettishly.
"Like, like." The Queen Mother patted Qingyi's hand and smiled from ear to ear.
"Qingyi has been outstanding since she was a child, and now that she is older, she is becoming more and more beautiful." The queen on the side looked at Qingyi with a smile, her eyes full of love. "If anyone can marry Qingyi, I'm afraid it will be a blessing that the tenth generation will not be able to cultivate."
'Yes! He must have done a lot of evil in the tenth life, and he must have done a lot of evil like this. Ji Xia Mo complained in his heart.
"Heh......" Qingyi's red lips hooked up, provoking a smile, and her eyebrows were full of arrogance and arrogance. The blessed person in the mouth of the queen mother is not here today. โ
Hearing Qingyi say this, Ji Xiamo suddenly choked on the meatballs that he put in his mouth, was stunned for a long time, swallowed it with a 'grunt', and knelt down in his heart. 'Gotcha! This is blatant, and those who change the law want to kill themselves. โ
"Father!" Qingyi got up and walked to Emperor Fengyuan's side to salute. "Erchen has long heard that Ji Xiamo, the chief son of the Prime Minister's Mansion, is full of wealth and extraordinary, and a few days ago he cracked a three-person murder case in three days, and today, Ji Changgongzi is the future husband of Erchen, and Erchen wants to test him."
"Qingyi, in front of the civil and military ministers today, don't mess around." Emperor Fengyuan frowned and shouted in a low voice.
"Erchen didn't mess around." Qingyi blinked, taking the eccentricity of her daughter's family. "Qingyi is not only for herself today, but also for her father. The eldest son of Ji will definitely enter the court as an official in the future, and the sons will test him for their father in advance, and see how he copes? โ
"Your Majesty." Concubine Shu smiled slightly and said softly. "Qingyi is happy, just follow her, just be a fun person on the Queen Mother's birthday."
Emperor Fengyuan glanced at the Queen Mother, and when he saw that she didn't stop her, he nodded lightly, which was acceptable.
'Hey, hey! Does anyone care if I want to? Ji Xiamo scratched the wall and couldn't help but want to cry in the wind. 'What is called a fun, sir, do I have such a comedy? โ
With the emperor's consent, the smile on Qingyi's face became more and more prosperous, turned around and swept her beautiful eyes to the ministers, and finally stopped at Ji Ye's body, and turned to look at Ji Xiamo who was shrinking her head on the side.
Looking at Qingyi who was smiling proudly, Ji Ye frowned, and his face was a little gloomy. Seeing that Ji Xiamo beside him was silent, thinking that he was afraid, his heart softened, he reached out and patted Ji Xiamo's hand under the table, and said in a low voice, "You can go with confidence, as soon as your father is here, your father will fight for this old life, and he will protect your safety." โ
Ji Xiamo was slightly stunned, looked up at Ji Ye's old face, the corners of his lips moved slightly, but he didn't say anything.
"Eldest son Ji, I hope to give you advice." Qingyi had already walked down and stood in the main hall, looking at Ji Xiamo with a look of disdain in her eyes.
"Dad, this is your daughter-in-law?" When Ji Xiamo got up, he turned his head sideways and whispered in Ji Ye's ear. "This is a daughter-in-law, if this woman marries home, then it will be the ancestor of our grandfather."
"Stinky boy, be serious for me." Ji Ye glared.
Ji Xiamo's mouth was lined up, still looking cheap, the bone fan in his hand shook lightly, and he walked happily to the center of the hall under his feet, looking at each other two meters away from Qingyi.
"I have long heard that the eldest son of Ji is rich and rich, full of economy, and knows everything about piano, chess, calligraphy and painting.
"Rumors in the rivers and lakes, how to do it? Not credible, not credible! Ji Xiamo smiled and waved his hand, and looked at the lazy appearance of Qingyi, who was blocked in her heart.
"Since there are rumors, they will not come out of nowhere, and there is a basis for thinking about it."
"Are you talking about me?" Ji Xia Mo touched his chin and smashed his mouth. "Doesn't that sound like that? When did I become so great? Ay! Princess, do you know me so well? Could it be that the princess is always paying attention to me? โ
"You!!" For Ji Xiamo's shamelessness, Qing Yi was angry.
"Someone!" Unwilling to talk nonsense with Ji Xiamo anymore, Qingyi shouted, and then, a row of guards walked in one after another, holding three elevated shelves, covered with red cloth, so that people couldn't see what it was.
The three elevated towers were placed in the middle of the main hall, and the guards saluted and retreated. Qingyi walked to the three elevated platforms, raised her chin, and looked at Ji Xiamo proudly.
"Today, the Queen Mother's birthday, this princess will not talk to you about poetry and songs, but about piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. In order to make Empress Dowager Bo smile, this princess will compare something interesting with you. โ
"Princess, I'll play with you." Hearing that it was not comparable to qin, chess, calligraphy and painting, poetry and songs, Ji Xiamo secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and laughed without pressure behind his back.
"Humph!" Looking at the flirtatious smile on Ji Xiamo's face, Qingyi felt disgusted, snorted coldly, and looked at the three shelves behind her.
"Under these three red cloths, this princess has a problem, if you can solve it all, this princess will be happy with you, if you can't solve it......" Qingyi's red lips hooked and looked at Ji Xiamo contemptuously. You learn how to bark here, and everyone laughs. โ
As soon as these words came out, everyone was in an uproar. Ji Ye's face darkened instantly, clenched his fists, and held back the anger in his heart.
"Tsk, it seems like I'm at a loss." Ji Xia Mo touched his chin and thought. "Well, princess, if I lose, let me go. But what if you lose? โ
"Nonsense! How could Princess Ben lose? Qingyi raised her eyebrows and said arrogantly.
"Princess." Ji Xia Mo pouted, with a bitter expression. "You can't say that, as the saying goes, the world is impermanent! If you walk a lot at night, you will always meet ghosts. Princess, you walk with your nose up all day and your head against the sky, maybe one day you will step on the pit and fall a big horse monkey! โ
"You! You are presumptuous!! The suppressed laughter around made Qingyi angry and angry, and she waved her hand and hit it.
Ji Xiamo dodged sideways, looked at Qingyi, and sighed lightly. "The gentleman doesn't move his mouth, princess, calm down, you see that you are in such a hurry, and your makeup has been spent."
"Bold!!" The queen shouted. "Qingyi is my princess of the golden branches and jade leaves, and I can't tolerate you being presumptuous!"
Ji Xia Mo turned his head, looked at the angry queen, and grinned, without a straight shape. "Yes! The grass people know that they are wrong, don't the grass people see the princess cute and tease her? โ
"Okay!" Qingyi glared at Ji Xiamo angrily, and her chest continued to rise and fall because of anger. "What do you say?"
"Princess, don't look at me like that, the grass people are under a lot of pressure~~" Ji Xiamo waved his little hand, shy and timid, full of coquettishness, and Qingyi almost spurted out a mouthful of blood when she saw it.
"That's it, princess, a problem, ten thousand taels of silver."
"Ten thousand? You rob it!! โ
"Isn't that a howl?" Ji Xiamo complained with a look of 'you don't get on the road'. "Didn't the princess say that the grass people couldn't win? Even if you can't win, you have to have enough face, and your value has to be raised. โ
"Okay!" Qingyi took a deep breath and suppressed her anger. "Princess Ben promises you."
"The princess is so cheerful! The grass people's admiration for the princess is like a surging river, and it is like the Yellow River overflowing, out of control......"
"Pounce!" The sound of laughter came from the side, Ji Xiamo squinted, and saw Feng Yufei covering his mouth, hurriedly picking up the overturned wine glass on the table.
Feng Lingchen raised his wine glass, nodded at Ji Xiamo, and motioned for him to come on. Feng Shaojin on the side was also playing with the wine glass in his hand, looking at him with an interesting expression.
Only the three princes, Feng Yelan, had a cold face from beginning to end, unmoved.
Ji Xiamo retracted his gaze, smiled and made a gesture of invitation to Qingyi, "Princess, please ask the question." โ
Qingyi raised her head, walked to the first elevated shelf on the left with her toes proud, picked up the red cloth in her jade hand, looked at Ji Xia Mo and snorted coldly, "Look at it, this is the first question of this princess!" โ
With the nervous gaze of everyone around, the red cloth slowly fell, and the things under the red cloth were exposed to everyone's sight, and they saw clearly what was inside, and suddenly there was a strange silence around.
This is......
