Chapter 393
Xie Ying slowly walked to the bottom of the jade steps, bowed to the emperor and said, "The palace is out of order, please forgive your majesty." ”
The emperor stood up from the dragon chair and said with a smile on his face: "Why did you say that you lost your honor at the banquet? Xie Qing's family is flat. ”
When Xie Ying heard this, she said respectfully, "Your Majesty." After saying that, he straightened up, still clear-eyed and clear-eyed, with a celebrity demeanor.
Fu Jun could only see one of Xie Ying's backs from a distance at this time, but he found that the center of gravity of this Honglu Siqing's feet was slightly unstable, so he knew that he was actually not very drunk, but he just stabilized his body with strong self-control and did not show his drunkenness in front of others. Fu Jun was impressed by this elegant diplomat.
The emperor was extremely pleased with Xie Ying's performance tonight, and after a few words of encouragement, he asked Xie Ying to choose one of the three things. Xie Yingzi thanked him again, and in the end, the saint personally chose the colorful glazed pen grid for him, and he returned to his seat.
Probably felt that the face had been saved, and after rewarding Xie Ying, the emperor also rewarded the Ten Dragons and two jars of Yunzhou Golden Cellar, which can be said to have taken care of the faces of both parties.
This competition enlivened the atmosphere of the banquet, and some courtiers came forward to toast and wrote poems on the spot for Xie Ying's wine.
Fu Jun had been observing the movements of the Khan Mission.
From the very beginning, she found that Xiao Changyuan, the great prince of the Khanate, seemed to have a very bad relationship with Xiao Hongzhu.
Emperor Khan had nine sons and seven daughters, and more than a dozen grandchildren, who could be regarded as a blessed man with many sons and grandchildren compared to the emperor of the Han Dynasty. However, there are many children and there are many troubles with children. There were only two princes in the Han Dynasty. With such a dangerous fight, the battle between the members of the Nakhan royal family will only become more intense.
These half-siblings have been in the midst of all kinds of strife almost since they were born. The Khan is not as good as the Han Dynasty, they are fierce by nature, basically do not play conspiracy and tricks, they have always been the supremacy of conspiracy, and they will use knives and guns when they don't say a word. As far as Fu Jun knows, the original number of princes and princesses of the Khan should have doubled as it is now, but now there are only a dozen left, which shows the intensity of the infighting in the Khan royal family.
This Xiao Hongzhu's mother and the eldest prince's mother have the same status in the palace. However, Emperor Khan of Qi was more fond of Xiao Hongzhu. How can Xiao Changyuan have a good relationship with her? And Xiao Hongzhu's arrogance and arrogance are also to overpower the imperial brother everywhere.
Just like Fang Cai, Xiao Changyuan obviously wanted to calm things down, but Xiao Hongzhu openly objected. directly didn't take the royal brother in his eyes. As a result, the ten dragons lost the wine. Xiao Hongzhu's face was gloomy. Xiao Changyuan was sneering, looking at Xiao Hongzhu's expression with a bit of schadenfreude.
And at this moment, the hall is full of poetry and praise from those scholars. Between the lines, Xie Ying is greatly admired, and the Khan people are suppressed. Xiao Changyuan sat on the seat for a long time, listening to the officials of the Han Dynasty say this, as if he didn't understand, he always had a pleasant face, and even smiled.
Xiao Hongzhu's face became more and more gloomy, she was holding a cup and drinking stuffy wine, her high eyebrows made her eyes hidden in the dark, and she couldn't see what she was looking at or thinking. Only she pinched the fingers of the wine bottle, and her bones turned white in the light.
Suddenly, I saw Xiao Hongzhu put the wine bottle on the table, and the person had already stood up, standing facing the direction of the emperor's throne, squatting down and saluting like a woman from the Central Plains: "Respected Emperor Your Majesty, I have something I want to ask Your Majesty to fulfill." ”
Xiao Hongzhu's voice was already crisp, but now that she let go of her voice and said what she said, everyone in the hall heard it. Everyone gradually quieted down, and looked at the pearl princess in unison.
Speaking of which, Xiao Hongzhu's dress today is still very eye-catching. She wore a big red makeup patch full of brocade sleeves, and the placket and cuffs were ingeniously sharp, but it was snow-white snow fox fur. Between red and white, her deep facial features are extremely bright.
At this time, she stood in front of her with her sleeves folded, illuminated by bright lamps and candles, and it was normal for her to say something like that, which attracted everyone's sideways. Even Fu Jun, who was sitting in the corner, also felt that if Xiao Hongzhu didn't come out of the moth, it would still be very eye-catching to stand there.
It's a pity that Xiao Hongzhu is obviously going to come out of the moth.
At this time, seeing that the emperor waved his hand to allow her to speak, she raised her hand with a smile, pointed to the pearls and gold armor placed on the large case of Tieli Wood Xuanqi, and said crisply: "Since Your Majesty has taken out three colored heads, it will not be good if the remaining two are taken back." Let's try again. The one who wins will pick one from here, and the one who loses will reward him with the rest, I don't know what His Majesty wants? ”
As soon as Xiao Hongzhu's voice fell, a low discussion sounded in the hall.
Fu Jun knew that this Xiao Hongzhu was definitely not a good thing, and sure enough, it seemed that Xie Ying had won the wine, and the princess Mingzhu was very unconvinced, so she asked to try again, just to save the face of Qi Khan.
A young girl sitting next to Fu Jun said softly: "What kind of princess is really thick-skinned, obviously she lost, and she still wants Laipi to win it back." ”
A gray-haired lady beside the girl said, "Her request is not excessive, there are three things, only one is rewarded, and the other two are not easy to take back." ”
Fu Jun listened attentively to the two people, and he didn't hear what the emperor said, but the next sound proved that Xiao Hongzhu's request to the emperor was granted.
But I saw that the open space that was close to the temple gate was covered with a big dark felt at some point. Another palace man put a drum on the edge of the felt.
At this time, I heard Xiao Hongzhu say crisply: "Uri, you go and win a game for Princess Ben and come back, if you lose, you will come to see you." ”
Her words were spoken in the official dialect of the Han Dynasty, and everyone heard them clearly. There was another whispering of the crowd.
The emperor's face was already extremely unsightly at this time, and if it weren't for the crown, his cloudy face would have been exposed to everyone.
Xu Hui, who was on the side, turned his head to look at him, then poured some warm wine into his golden bottle with his own hands, and whispered softly: "Your Majesty drink a glass of wine to warm up." ”
Her voice was plain and gentle, which made the emperor's heart warm slightly. He turned his head to look at Xu Hui. The face in front of him is the same as before, but because of the lighting, it adds a bit of pride. And the gaze projected from those calm eyes contains a faint concern, but also contains a calming force.
The emperor smiled slightly, took the gold bottle and took a sip. The warm juice slid down his throat and into his heart, and he felt a little more comfortable, and even his anger dissipated a lot. (To be continued......)
