Chapter 202: After the False Alarm
At the next dinner, although everyone was seated and the atmosphere was lively again, everyone invariably restrained themselves, whether the king was really drunk or fake...... I'm afraid no one can tell, right?
After the king took his seat, he handed over the jade seal in his hand to Gonggong Wan, "When the banquet is over, you will send this jade seal to the jade mansion and keep it well." Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"
"Yes." Gonggong Wan took the jade seal, his eyes paused slightly on it, and then put it in the box.
At this time, all the dancing girls and singers who retreated from Fang also came up, and for a while, the ethereal and long sound of silk and bamboo sounded in the hall, but compared to Fang Cai's music, it was obviously much lighter, and the dance also changed types, igniting the atmosphere in the hall instantly.
The king sat down again, lifted the wine jug and poured a full glass of wine, turned around, faced Princess Zhao on the right, stretched out his hand, and smiled: "Concubine Ai, for so many years, you have served me carefully, in charge of the complicated affairs of the harem, and there is no merit and hard work, it is me...... I've been neglecting you! ”
Princess Zhao listened, she looked flattered, Fang Cai's fright and worry had not yet dissipated, her mood was not calm, and she suddenly ushered in the king's praise, and she was a little at a loss for a while, and hurriedly picked up the wine cup on the table.
"It's all what the concubine should do, the king has a lot of opportunities, and he works extremely hard every day, how can the concubine not do his part? It is precisely because of the king's diligence and diligence that there is the prosperity of Liangyu. ”
The king's drunken eyes stared at her, as if smiling, "Ai Concubine, I will give you a drink." ”
"The concubine returns to the king." Princess Zhao lowered her head and said softly. Seeing that the king drank the wine, she raised her head, drank it all, and after putting down the wine glass, her heart was still uneasy.
Zhao Hou got up from the ground and returned to his seat, he had no intention of drinking, facing the wine, vegetables and fruits on the cups and plates, his eyebrows were locked in a daze, and his soul was not possessed. And after Zhao Huayong returned to his father, he was also silent, but his silence was not because of the king, but because of his mother.
The father and son were silent, but fortunately, they were happy and happy again, and their thoughts were hidden. Murong Han wanted to say a few words of comfort, but was stopped by his father.
"Su Chen, I see you silent on weekdays, and you ignore the people around you, but I didn't expect you to rush up just now." As soon as Su Chen returned to his seat, he heard the strange voice of the prince beside him, "Hua Yong doesn't interact with you on weekdays, you rushed up to relieve him of the siege, it was really unexpected, could it be...... I knew that my father was drunk and laughing, and deliberately went to be a good person, right? ”
Su Chen sneered, took a glass of wine and drank it, and turned his head, "If the crown prince can use this keen insight to get down to business, then the princess won't be so anxious, right?" ”
"You ......" the other party was speechless for a while.
The prince was a fat man, with a broad forehead, thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a shiny face. The skin is as white as pink because he doesn't go out of the house all day long, and he has good facial features, but because of the horizontal flesh on his face, he looks a little more domineering. He is not a few years older than Su Chen, but because of the doting protection of Princess Zhao, he can't help but be a little willful and arrogant from beginning to end.
"Su Chen, you, you are too disrespectful! Did you know that I'm your eldest brother, huh? After staying out for a few years, I didn't know anyone after returning to the palace? Is...... It's getting more and more unruly! The prince said angrily, although he lowered his voice, but the spittle Xingzi still sprayed indiscriminately.
Su Chen was silent and stopped talking, just because of the matter of Fang Cai, which really confused him.
What does Aunt Ziyang mean? On that day, he went to the Hou Mansion to inquire, and his aunt behaved calmly, spoke in a calm manner, and did not hide the slightest trace. But that jade seal is obviously in her hands, why should she lie to herself? If you really want to dedicate yourself to your father, then you just have to explain it to yourself, so why deceive?
Now it's a good thing, the jade seal that Xiaoxi and their hearts want has fallen into the hands of their father. If it was somewhere else, it would have been a matter of thought, but it fell into the hands of my father, and it was such an important thing, and it would be even more difficult to ask for it.
Auntie, why are you doing this......
After a while, the dinner party dispersed, and the king left General Qizhao and others to talk, and let the others go back first.
Qi Yu asked the three of them to wait at the door of the main hall for a while, the king was drunk, so he would not talk for too long, and it would be more appropriate for him and his father to go back to the house together after they came out.
"It's over, it's over, it's all over......" On the long steps of the Dawn Palace, Lin Xun said with a bitter face as he walked.
The autumn night is slightly cool, the stars and the moon are like water, shining on the open space and steps in front of the main hall, an empty and clear, more majestic and broad.
Seeing that Lin Luo didn't speak, Tang Guxi sighed and said, "Actually, this is not a good thing...... Originally, the three of us wanted to return empty-handed, and the jade seal was already gone, but now it is close at hand, although it ...... In the hands of the king, but after all, it is still intact! You say, "Is it a good thing?" ”
"But that's the problem." Lin Xun said, "Last time, we already asked for a seal from the king, and now we want it again, there is no reason for this, right?" Is it possible that you have to investigate another person? He smiled wryly and shook his head, "Anyway, I don't have the strength to do this......"
Tang Guxi gritted her teeth, felt that what he said made sense, and wanted to ask Lin Luo, but it could be seen that she was indifferent, and she didn't know what she was thinking. Also, the appearance of Fang Cai Yuxi is too amazing, and it is normal that she has not recovered until now.
The three of them walked down the long steps and stood on the wide corridor, each without saying a word.
After being silent for a long time, Tang Guxi suddenly raised his head, "It's really not good, let's go steal it!" ”
As soon as these words came out, Lin Luo was stunned for a moment, and his expression changed.
didn't think about it, but Lin Xun pounced over and covered her mouth, turned his head to look around, and said in a suppressed voice: "Miss, can you be quieter?" Look at the ministers passing by, you want to die, don't drag us both into the water! ”
Tang Guxi was covered by him, and she also became nervous, and looked around with a pale face, but fortunately, the people who passed behind her were all drunk, and no one paid attention to the three of her, so she put her mind at ease. Broke off Lin Xun's palm and muttered in a low voice: "You covered me so much that I couldn't breathe......"
"Don't you think there's something strange about this?" Lin Luoben was pacing on the side, but suddenly stopped.
The two were stunned and didn't understand what they meant.
"Why are you surprised, my lord?" Lin Luo said again.
Hearing this, Lin Xun chuckled lightly and waved his hand, "The first time the king saw the jade seal of the southern kingdom, he would naturally be surprised, and if it happened to me, I would also be surprised." ”
Lin Luo slapped his hand, "Think about it, since the jade seal was brought back by Zhao Hou, then the original batch of people should also be his subordinates." When he got the jade seal back, he should have given it to the king, but he kept it private until now, and the king didn't know that there was still a jade seal in the south in the world. She frowned, "Zhao Hou...... What does he want this jade seal to do? ”
Lin Xun looked dissatisfied, lowered his head and rubbed the back of his hands, while Tang Guxi gloated on the side.
"Or maybe what they just said is true." After a long time, he muttered, "What if it was really from a rich merchant?" ”
Before he finished speaking, Lin Luo sneered: "Do you believe this?" (To be continued.) )
