Chapter Forty-Eight: Is Her Life Short?
The palace maid was trembling so badly that a thin layer of sweat had already broken out on her forehead, but she still looked at Lu Jinao timidly, and she didn't dare to move.
"Get up, no one wants your life."
Song Huaijin's voice was quiet, but very soothing, and the palace maid finally stretched out her hand to shake her, holding her stomach and standing up with difficulty.
"Song Huaijin!" Lu Jinao was dizzy, and wanted to step forward to give Song Huaijin a kick, but he was held down by Lu Jinchen and couldn't move, so he could only flutter in the air with one leg, which was really funny.
Song Huaijin turned his head and said slowly: "His Royal Highness the Prince, the emperor is almost here, are you sure you want to use this to attend the palace banquet at the end of the year?" If you lose the face of the royal family, you know the consequences better than me, right? ”
Lu Jinao really hated her tone of being calm on the surface, but actually riding on his neck.
The more he listened, the more he was embarrassed, he angrily shook off Lu Jinchen and stared at the two of them coldly: "You guys wait for this palace!" ”
After Lu Jinao threw his sleeves and left, the palace maid's tears suddenly fell, and she thanked Song Huaijin again and again:
"Thank you, thank you, this little boy, what's your name?"
"Song Huaijin."
Song Huaijin smiled gently and sarcastically, and the palace maids changed their faces in an instant.
The rumored Song Huaijin has a bad character, extremely ugly, water-based poplar, and does not know the inspection, and has always been the laughing stock of everyone in the capital after dinner.
How could it be the little boy in front of him who is so good-looking in disguised as a man? How can you have such a dusty and gorgeous temperament? How dare you argue with the prince without being humble or arrogant?
After a brief moment of disbelief, the palace ladies all blushed as if they were about to drip blood.
The palace maid who was the leader was even more guilty, why did she believe those unfounded rumors? Say bad things about Song Huaijin?
If it weren't for Song Huaijin today, she might be...
"Wai... Mr. Huai Jin, we were wrong just now, we don't know the severity, we misunderstood you by listening to the rumors, and we caused you trouble, we... We're so sorry for you. The more the palace maid spoke, the more guilty she became, and finally she sobbed lowly.
"It doesn't matter." Song Huaijin looked at her with a smile and said generously: "I heard that everyone who is pregnant has joy, and I am also touching it today!"
But I'm still going to be punished for casual discussions, and a few of you will report your names and be fined for a month. ”
The palace maid who was the leader was even more guilty by what she said in a few words, and she sincerely admired her from the bottom of her heart.
Several other palace maids have already seen their eyes straight, most women in the world regard men as the sky, and most of them serve people's lives, but Song Huaijin is arrogant, standing in the center of power, stirring up the court, and controlling her own destiny, which is enough to make women in the world envious.
"Alright, you guys can continue to serve." Song Huaijin turned to Lu Jinchen and said, "Your Highness, let's go." ”
"Hmm." Lu Jinchen nodded and left with her.
When he arrived at Jiuhua Palace, Song Huaijin looked around the glorious buildings in the hall, and first swept to Prime Minister Song Xun, and the two looked at each other and smiled.
She continued to search, and finally found the Nine Emperor Princes in the front row, walked over and sat down behind him:
"Your Highness, I was entangled by the Sixth Highness, did you bring a gift to the emperor?"
"Don't worry, I've got it all packed." The Nine Emperor Princes looked back at Song Huaijin with a smile: "Then you and the sixth brother..."
However, before he finished gossiping, the elongated voice of the chief eunuch outside sounded extraordinarily loud: "The emperor has arrived-"
Everyone immediately sat upright, waiting for the bright yellow dragon robe to slowly step in.
Emperor Pingchu was born as a military general and the founding emperor of the Apocalypse, walking calmly, but he was nearly seventy years old, but he still did not lose his majesty.
Beside him, a blonde and blue-eyed Western envoy sat down with him, sitting on the lower seat beside him.
Everyone saluted together: "Long live my emperor, long live, long live!" ”
However, before everyone got up, a figure ran in a hurry outside the hall, and was tripped by the threshold of the hall because he ran too quickly, and fell to the ground with a "snap", which instantly quieted the surroundings.
Lu Jinao felt that hundreds of eyes instantly condensed on him, and immediately blushed.
Emperor Pingchu frowned and looked at him, and said in a deep voice, "What's the matter with you?" It's so big, you're late alone? What does it look like? ”
Lu Jinao felt a chill in his back, shivered involuntarily, trembled and knelt down, and didn't have time to pat the dirt on his body, and said in shock:
"Father, today is because... Because..."
"That's it!" Emperor Pingchu's face was even more displeased: "Hurry up and sit down for me!" ”
"It's... Yes..."Lu Jinao staggered to his feet, took three steps and took two steps, and threw himself into his seat, still panting uneasily.
Song Huaijin looked at his unpromising appearance, and only felt that the Nine Emperors were much stronger than him, not to mention other princes like Lu Jinchen and Lu Jinning.
The way he looks, it's only a matter of time before someone else pulls him down.
Lu Jinao looked at Song Huaijin.
He hated Song Huaijin's condescending eyes, and there seemed to be a trace of pity in his disgust for him, which made him even more angry, and he must make Song Huaijin pay the price today!
The banquet soon began, and the orchestra sounded in unison, playing peaceful and festive music.
The Western envoy presented a large table clock, and when the hour was announced, there were birds singing and singing, which was very precious.
Immediately afterwards, the princes began to offer gifts, and Lu Jinao presented a white jade Guanyin and bragged about it vigorously.
The three princes presented a night pearl of the East China Sea, the size of a fist, and it was placed in a brocade box in a dark and heavy place, which looked particularly rich.
Song Huaijin suddenly remembered the folk ballad: Three kings are rich, five kings are benevolent, six kings are romantic, and nine kings are faint.
These three princes are located in the East China Sea, controlling the trade gates, and they are naturally rich, and they immediately compare Lu Jinao.
Lu Jinao's face became even more ugly, and he sat back in his position.
The fifth prince, Lu Jinning, presented a history book compiled by himself, woven with gold thread, with special care, and Emperor Pingchu repeatedly praised him for his hard work;
Lu Jinchen sacrificed a sweaty and bloody horse, which came from the exchange market with the Hu people, and was a thousand-mile horse in the true sense.
The Nine Emperor Princes got up slowly, and Song Huaijin followed behind him to serve, "This is the wool cloak woven by His Royal Highness the Ninth Emperor for the emperor." ”
"Hahahaha!" Seeing this, Lu Jinao finally laughed happily, and the people around him looked at him one after another, and he raised his eyebrows and said sarcastically:
"Anling is already poor like this? Can you afford only a cape? Or is the ninth brother confused by some little slut and has no time to choose a gift for his father? ”
When the princes and ministers present heard this, they all looked at the Nine Emperors and whispered:
"You say, this Song Huaijin is really such a god? Yes, men like her? ”
"I like it, I think a man can her, right?"
"The Nine Emperor Princes are young and ignorant, so they were deceived by her, and they brought this slut to the court!"
Listening to these discussions, Lu Jinao didn't want to be happier, and immediately stood up and saluted:
"Father, Song Huaijin didn't know how to deceive the ninth brother, so that the ninth brother had no intention of ruling the government, ignored his father, and asked his father to punish him!"
Everyone held their breath and focused on the trend of the matter, and even some people began to pity Song Huaijin for not knowing the severity, even if he played tricks behind his back, he dared to follow him to the palace, I was afraid that his life would not be long.
