Chapter 408: Attending the Banquet
Murong Xuanji stood up and blessed the daughters of those dignitaries and nobles present, and said modestly: "The words of the county lord are strict, but as the Nine Emperor Concubines of the Northern Underworld, every word and deed is not only about her own reputation, but also about the Nine Emperors, and it is related to the Northern Underworld. ”
Murong Xuanji's words made those female relatives look stunned, and some of them had a trace of panic on their faces, worried that they were too close to the county lord of Nanxiao Kingdom, and then they would be misunderstood that they had a good relationship with Nanxiao Kingdom, and it would be bad to have any treason.
Yu Xinya originally wanted to humiliate Murong Xuanji, but she didn't expect to steal chickens and rice, seeing the expressions of others, Yu Xinya couldn't wait to rush up now and teach Murong Xuanji a hard lesson.
"It seems that this Nine Emperor Princesses are really hard." Qi Fangfei was angry when she heard Murong Xuanji showing off her identity as the Nine Emperor Princesses, originally this identity belonged to her, but now that she was sought-after by Murong Xuanji, how could she not hate it in her heart.
Murong Xuanji glanced at Qi Fangfei, and pretended to say casually: "It turns out that Miss Qi, the daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion, is here?" Rude, I haven't noticed you yet? ”
The implication of Murong Xuanji's words is which onion you are, my aunt and grandmother I can't see it.
Some people who knew that Qi Fangfei liked Xuanyuan Hao heard Murong Xuanji say this, and naturally knew the humiliation in Murong Xuanji's words, and couldn't help laughing.
Qi Fangfei's face was ugly for a while, and she took a few steps forward towards Murong Xuanji, who was about to step forward to reason with Murong Xuanji, but when she saw Yu Xinya's warning eyes, she forcibly suppressed the anger in her heart.
"It seems that the eyes of the Nine Emperor Princesses are a little bad!" Qi Fangfei took a deep breath and tried to force herself to laugh back.
"I've always ignored people or things that aren't important. Miss Qi, don't mind! Murong Xuanji said with a smile on her face. It's obviously sarcastic, but being said like this makes it difficult for the other party to get angry.
"Okay, okay, let's have a drink together today." Yu Xinya saw that the situation was not right, and immediately opened her mouth to play a round, and first picked up the wine glass.
"Today is the county lord's banquet, but we forgot the master's house, it really shouldn't be, the Nine Emperors will teach me a good lesson when they know about it." Murong Xuanji said very apologetically, but the expression on his face was another kind of provocation.
Yu Xinya and Qi Fangfei's hands were a little trembling when they were grabbed by Murong Xuanji, looking at her smile, they wanted to rush forward and tear it to pieces, but in the end, they still held back, and raised their hands to pour the wine in the cup into their mouths.
Although there were two ill-intentioned people, Yu Xinya and Qi Fangfei, Murong Xuanji was not nervous at all, eating and drinking, chatting with other ladies from time to time, looking very uncomfortable.
"I'm sorry, I missed it beforehand." Yu Xinya suddenly got up and left apologetically, and not long after, another person disappeared into the banquet.
Do you really think I'm a fool? Murong Xuanji sneered in her heart, just now Yu Xinya immediately glanced at Qi Fangfei, and it happened that Murong Xuanji saw it. After seeing the two of them leave, Murong Xuanji glanced at Baoqing, and soon Baoqing also disappeared into the banquet.
"That Murong Xuanji is so shameless, I can't wait to rush up and tear her to pieces." As soon as Yu Xinya saw Qi Fangfei, she immediately complained.
"Don't be angry, county lord, I didn't want to teach that woman a hard lesson just now, but I have to hold back. Otherwise, the purpose of our banquet will be in vain. Qi Fangfei also said with a look of resentment.
"What do we do next? We couldn't win her at all, but let her taunt her. Yu Xinya was so angry that she couldn't think, so she could only pin her hopes on Qi Fangfei.
Qi Fangfei thought seriously for a while and said: "At the emperor's banquet before, that cheap woman didn't dance a dance, I don't think that dance is as good as the county lord's dance, but her clothes added a lot of points to her that day, and she definitely didn't have much preparation when she came to the banquet today, why don't we let her dance a dance on the spot to take the opportunity to humiliate her?" ”
"Great idea!" Yu Xinya's eyes lit up and said happily.
"Then the county lord, I'll go back first, so as not to be suspected of being away for too long." Qi Fangfei was about to happily return to her seat, but she didn't find that there was a person who returned to the banquet hall one step ahead of her.
Baoqing relayed Yu Xinya and Qi Fangfei's words to Murong Xuanji word for word, and Murong Xuanji didn't have time to explain Baoqing's affairs, so he saw Qi Fangfei looking at him and returning to his seat. It didn't take long for Yu Xinya to return to the banquet.
"I'm really embarrassed, I left just now, and I punished myself with a drink." Yu Xinya boldly drained the wine, "Today I set up a banquet in the hope that everyone can get together happily." ”
"The county lord is really bold and completely informal." Someone in the crowd praised Yu Xinya, but Yu Xinya smiled shyly.
"Earlier, the emperor held a banquet, and the little girl was not able to witness the dance of the Nine Emperor Princesses because she was not present, and then I heard others talk about her admiration very much, and I hope to have the opportunity to witness it again, I wonder if the Nine Emperor Princesses can enjoy the face of the scene and dance once to open my eyes with everyone?" Yu Xinya asked politely.
"Absolutely!" Murong Xuanji also readily agreed, just when everyone thought that Murong Xuanji would come forward to dance, Murong Xuanji suddenly said: "But the dance of the county lord that day also made me have endless memories, today the county lord is the host and I am the guest, how can the guest take the lord?" Why don't you ask the county lord to have a long-sleeved dance first? ”
Murong Xuanji said politely and politely, and she couldn't refute it if she wanted to, Yu Xinya saw that everyone was looking at herself, and she couldn't refuse again, so she had to reluctantly agree, "Since the Nine Emperor Princesses have this request, I can't sweep the Nine Emperor Princesses' face, so please allow me to prepare." ”
Yu Xinya immediately changed her outfit and danced another dance for everyone, which received warm applause from everyone.
"Nine Emperor Princesses, it's your turn!" Yu Xinya, who had finished dancing, walked up to Murong Xuanji and invited.
Murong Xuanji stood up calmly, looking at Yu Xinya with a smile all the time, and just when she walked to the middle and was about to dance, Baoyue suddenly rushed in.
"Nine Emperor Princesses, Nine Emperor Princesses, it's not good." Baoyue rushed to Murong Xuanji with an eager face, "The Nine Emperor Princes are injured, you, go back quickly." ”
"What? The Nine Emperors are injured? Murong Xuanji looked at Baoyue with a panicked expression, "How could she be injured?" Is the injury serious? ”
"Nine Emperor Princesses, let's go back and have a look." Without waiting for Baoyue to answer, Baoqing reminded in a whisper.
Murong Xuanji looked at Yu Xinya apologetically, "County Lord, I'm really sorry, my husband is injured, I have to go back immediately, I am really sorry, I hope you have a good time." Before Yu Xinya could speak, Murong Xuanji left in a hurry.
"The Nine Emperor Princes are injured?" There is another person who is worried about Xuanyuan Hao's injury, that is, Qi Fangfei, Qi Fangfei doesn't know Xuanyuan Hao's situation, and she has always remembered it in her heart, and at the banquet later, Qi Fangfei couldn't sit still, so she casually found a reason to leave first.
Murong Xuanji hurried home, wanting to know about Xuanyuan Hao's injury, but found that he was staying in the study reading safely.
"You, your injury-" Murong Xuanji looked at Xuanyuan Hao a little confused, not realizing that he was the only one who entered the study, and the door of the study was closed at some point.
Before Murong Xuanji's words were finished, he was pulled closer to Xuanyuan Hao's arms.
"Lie to you, if not, how can I trick you back?" Xuanyuan Hao said with a smile.
"Lie to me?" Murong Xuanji slowly calmed down, and finally understood what Xuanyuan Hao meant, and slapped him a little angrily, "It's hard to tell you what you are lying, you have to say that you are injured, do you know that after I heard it, the whole person was stunned, I am really worried about what is wrong with you." ”
"I received a message from Baoqing, knowing that the woman wanted to embarrass you, thinking that you had already shown your face, and also gave her face, I guess I didn't want to stay there anymore, so I found an excuse to let you get out of that banquet early." Xuanyuan Hao's words were light, but every sentence was for Murong Xuanji's sake, which moved Murong Xuanji's heart.
"But you shouldn't lie to me that I'm hurt, don't you know I'm going to be worried?" Murong Xuanji thought of hearing the news of his injury at that time, and his heart still ached.
"I'm sorry, I won't be in the future." Seeing that Murong Xuanji was really frightened, Xuanyuan Hao hugged her tightly in his arms with his arms, and only let go of her after a long time and asked, "What did you gain from today?" Did you find anything? ”
Murong Xuanji nodded, "It turns out that Yu Xinya and Qi Fangfei have been together for a long time, and the invitation to this banquet and Yu Xinya's desire to make me dance and make a fool of myself were all proposed by Qi Fangfei, I think that the things that Yu Xinya targeted me before were all done by Qi Fangfei." ”
"Qi Fangfei? How did she know Yu Xinya? Xuanyuan Hao asked with some surprise.
Murong Xuanji shook her head, also puzzled, "I'm not only curious about why they know each other, but also why Qi Fangfei is helping Yu Xinya to deal with me?" Even if Qi Fangfei likes you and targets me, she shouldn't join forces with Yu Xinya, and why does Yu Xinya target me? She shouldn't know that I'm Yu Xuanji. ”
"Things seem to be getting more and more complicated." Xuanyuan Hao couldn't figure out a reason for a while.
"Master, Miss Qi Fangfei, the daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion, asks to see you." Just when Xuanyuan Hao and Murong Xuanji were getting along warmly, the report of the next person interrupted the warmth of the two.
"Come in." Xuanyuan Hao let go of Murong Xuanji and let his subordinates in, "Do you know what happened to Miss Qi?" ”
"Miss Qi said that she knew that her master was injured and that she was here to visit the patient." The servant replied with his head bowed.
Murong Xuanji and Xuanyuan Hao glanced at each other, and couldn't help but say mockingly: "She came really fast to visit the patient, it seems that she really cares about you." ”
"You just say I'm not seeing you today, let her go." Xuanyuan Hao didn't want to refuse Qi Fangfei's request to see.
"Why don't you see, people care about you very much." After the subordinates retreated, Murong Xuanji asked deliberately.
"Knowingly ask!" Xuanyuan Hao scratched Murong Xuanji's chin, "Why are you jealous with her, as long as you know that the person I love has always been you, other women can't get into my eyes at all." ”
"Poor mouth!" Xuanyuan Hao's words made Murong Xuanji laugh suddenly, and after laughing, he said to Xuanyuan Hao very seriously: "She won't give up if she can't see her today, I think she will come again tomorrow, I must see you until I see you." ”
"Whatever she wants." Xuanyuan Hao said nonchalantly.
Sure enough, as Murong Xuanji expected, early the next morning, Murong Xuanji and Xuanyuan Hao, who were sleeping soundly, were woken up by the noise outside. R638
