Chapter 34: Is It Eleven?
The auspicious time is approaching, and most of the major officials and ministers have already taken their seats. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Although the courtier of the Xia family is only Xiahou Jin, according to the official position, the seat must be very backward, but after all, there is the old man Xia, yes, he is basically under the nose of the main seat.
It was Xia Yingjiu, who sat with Gu Beitang, although he was farther away, but he felt a lot more comfortable.
The two sat at the same table, which attracted a lot of people's side eyes.
After the elder glanced at it, there was no other action, and many young ladies and sons of the family talked about it from time to time.
Speaking of which, the reputation of the two is not big, but it is definitely not small, naturally, it cannot be a good reputation.
In the final analysis, the circle is just a little bit, and it is common to talk about this son and the young lady in their spare time.
Xia Yingjiu and Gu Beitang are naturally the objects of everyone's frequent conversation, but now that the two are sitting together, they are still very close to each other, and they have naturally started to talk about it.
It's just that because of the occasion, he didn't make any out-of-the-ordinary moves.
If it were an ordinary young lady, I'm afraid that she would have been restless, that is, these two people can be regarded as if others do not exist, how should they be.
"The emperor has arrived!"
At this time, there was a sudden sound outside the Rishou Palace.
The whole table was silent in an instant, and all the major officials and ministers fell to their knees.
Xia Yingjiu lowered his head, and the owner who heard this voice was naturally Gonggong Su, who was talking to Old Man Xia outside the curtain when he first entered the palace today.
Because the seat sat back, it was mixed in the crowd, Xia Yingjiu didn't feel the emperor's spirit, she wanted to look up, but where did she have the courage.
Just when she lowered her head and was thinking wildly, she suddenly felt that not far away, it seemed that there was an inverted gaze falling on her body, although it was just a light flash, but the strong sense of presence made Xia Yingjiu notice a trace of strangeness.
It's just that she can't look up because of curiosity, and she can't bear it.
"Zhong Aiqing is flat."
It wasn't until they heard these words that everyone stood up.
Only then did Xia Yingjiu see the appearance of the person sitting in the upper seat at this time.
Sitting in the middle is naturally the young emperor of Qingzhu, whose surname is Ji, whose name is Wujun, who has ascended the throne at the age of seventeen and has been fourteen years.
Maybe it's because of the birthday of the eighth princess, although he is the emperor and the imperial robe is on his body, but the style he wears is much more casual, I saw him leaning on the sitting, his left hand was playing with the beads wrapped around his wrist, and his eyes narrowed slightly.
Although it is idle and relaxed, it looks inexplicably dangerous, like a dormant cheetah.
Xia Yingjiu thought, maybe this is the legendary imperial qi?
To the left of Ji Wujun is the eighth princess.
According to the age, the eighth princess should be the same size as Xia Yingjiu, wearing a lotus pink dress, with pearl forehead ornaments on her forehead, looking like a tribute to the Eastern Regions last year, the color is round and full, as if there is a shining halo, even if you don't understand, you can know that it is a rare product at a glance.
I heard that many harem ladies fell in love with this pearl forehead ornament, but they didn't expect it to be rewarded to the eighth princess, so they pity the emperor's favor.
The eighth princess was born delicate and cute, and her temperament was also very well-behaved when she heard from the people in the palace.
Although he was favored by thousands of people, and he specially held such a grand banquet, although his face was full of joy, his demeanor was very polite, and he sat beside the emperor.
Xia Yingjiu sighed and looked at the person on the other side of the emperor over and over again, and his eyes froze.
Not only that, but his eyes widened in disbelief, and he forgot to close his mouth in surprise, looking sluggish.
The person on the right side of the emperor is a young man, dressed in white, with a smile on his face, and a lazy appearance on his body, but he has a bit of Ji Wujun's taste, but he doesn't have such a fierce momentum when he looks at it.
The reason why Xia Yingjiu was stunned was because she had seen this young man! Isn't it the Eleventh who saved her at the bottom of the cliff last time! But why did he appear here, or did he sit next to the emperor?
Xia Yingjiu had already felt that the eleven gods were mysterious, but now he was even more curious.
is also dressed in white, compared to the unkempt appearance of Eleven at that time, his face is completely exposed at this time.
Xia Yingjiu originally knew that Eleven Life was good-looking, but now this rare and serious appearance looks even more like an immortal, but his temperament is a little weirder.
Thinking of this, she remembered that she still owed him three things when she was separated last time, and she didn't know when she would be able to pay it back.
Because she had been thinking about the eleventh thing, until she sat down, Xia Yingjiu still looked sluggish, and Gu Beitang couldn't help but pull her sleeve on the side.
"Little Sister Jiu, what's wrong with you? Why do you look stunned? Gu Beitang asked as he looked in the direction of her gaze.
As soon as she saw who she was looking at, she couldn't help curling the corners of her lips: "Could it be that the third prince is good-looking, and it's stupid to show it?" ”
Feeling that his sleeves were ripped off, Xia Yingjiu came back to his senses, and didn't think about what she was laughing about, but noticed Gu Beitang's title, and said in surprise: "You say, that's the third prince?" ”
"yes." Gu Beitang nodded.
Xia Yingjiu was confused now, since he was the third prince, it was natural to sit next to the emperor, but if this person was the third prince, how could it be eleven.
She was at the bottom of the cliff when she met Eleven, and it seemed that she had lived in the cave for a long time, although she looked at Eleven as an ordinary person, but it couldn't be a royal person.
However, this person's appearance and temperament were exactly the same as Eleven, which made Xia Yingjiu hesitate a little.
Seeing that something was wrong with her expression, Gu Beitang wondered, "What's wrong?" ”
Xia Yingjiu put aside the things in his mind and shook his head: "It's nothing, it's just that I've never seen the third prince, so I'm just a little curious." ”
After Gu Beitang heard this, he nodded knowingly: "Don't say that you haven't seen it, it is estimated that no one here has seen this legendary third prince." ”
This adjective is very fresh, Xia Yingjiu was curious: "Why do you say it is legendary?" ”
"You don't know?" This time, Gu Beitang was puzzled.
"Know what?" Xia Yingjiu looked dazed.
Gu Beitang first looked around, then leaned closer, and said in a low voice: "It is said that when the third prince was still in the womb, there was a phenomenon of weak qi, and the old grandmothers in the palace said that they were afraid that it was a stillbirth, although they were born, but they have been weak, and they almost lost their breath several times, and the imperial doctor was guarding the palace every day and did not see well, and then no one saw it in the palace, it is said that he was sent to the Buddhist temple in the Eastern Regions to recuperate, and suddenly appeared in the palace a few days ago, saying that he was in good health, and he brought people back. ”
