Chapter 156: Gift

"The emperor has arrived!" The voice of the great eunuch resounded throughout the entire Shengning Palace.

In an instant, Han Shili's eyes were bright, as if grasping a life-saving straw, he got up and blessed himself in the direction of the palace gate, he couldn't suppress his excitement, his voice was excited, and he shouted with hundreds of officials: "Welcome to the holy driver, long live the emperor!" ”

"Excuse me!"

Looking against the light, a slender figure stepped into the gate of the main hall of Shengning Palace with his hands in his hand, followed by a palace maid with a slightly unnatural complexion.

Helian Che froze, and a pair of eyes fell behind the emperor like a demon.

However, in just half a month, she has lost so much weight, her whole face is a little smaller, although she looks more and more beautiful and moving, the sharpness on her body has also decreased a lot, and her weak appearance makes people can't help but feel pity, but this weakness makes Helian Che's heart extremely uncomfortable, and the excellent face hidden behind the mask looks solemn.

"The son has said hello to the queen mother!" Li Yuanlin bowed slightly, and said: "Today is the auspicious day of the queen mother, and the son wishes the queen mother a healthy and happy spring season, and the blessing of life extends to the sky!" ”

As soon as the words fell, the palace people who presented the salute respectfully presented a tray, under the red cloth cover were a red gold and green feather phoenix crown, the West Sea gold red coral bracelet, gold jade play and hairpin ring ornaments more than a dozen pieces each, in addition to the close-fitting Yun Jinxia cloak, the delicate shape of the finch feather fan, the Dankou rouge flower Tian These women's things are even more numerous.

The dazzling array turned out to be something valuable.

Empress Liang swept her eyes over the gifts, nodded, and her face was full of kind smiles: "Emperor, come and sit!" ”

"Thank you!"

Today, Empress Liang, as the birthday star and the lord of Shengning Palace, should belong to her, even Li Yuanlin can only sit on the side, and then there is Han Shili with a strange face.

Ye Lingyi stood with the palace maid behind Han Shili, her eyes glanced at Helian Che on the opposite side intentionally or unintentionally, and suddenly collided with the gaze he cast, and in a hurry, she had to lower her eyes, not being a thief but having a sense of being a thief.

However, the moment she lowered her head, she found that Han Shili in front of her was a little strange, his face was extremely ugly, he couldn't sit still, his eyes looked left and right, as if he was thinking about something, and secretly worried about whether the timing was just right.

quietly threw the red tassel tied around his waist to the ground, and took advantage of the effort of bending down to pick up things, and leaned into Han Shili's ear and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Han Shili was trapped in a lot of trouble, and was thinking about how to get rid of it under the pretext, when a voice suddenly exploded in his ears, and he was suddenly so frightened that the three souls disappeared and the seven spirits disappeared, and his whole body shook violently, and his face turned away.

Ye Lingyi was puzzled and smiled bitterly: "Why are you reacting so much?" I'm not a ghost. ”

Han Shili, who saw the person behind him, gradually calmed down, but did not answer Ye Lingyi, but his face was ugly, and he looked like he wanted to speak and stopped.

"What happened?" Sensing that something was wrong, Ye Lingyi's expression became serious.

At this time, I noticed the malicious gaze from the opposite side, and when I raised my eyes, it was Cheng Wei, whose face was gloomy and vicious, gritting his teeth as if he wanted to eat her alive.

It turned out to be him.

Ye Lingyi finally understood why Han Shili was abnormal, slowly got up, and glared back with a sneering look without fear, his eyes moved up and down, and the corners of his lips were hooked with a contemptuous smile, as if he was silently sarcastic that he was a eunuch.

Cheng Wei felt humiliated, his face was pale, his eyes were dim, and he clenched his fists tightly, but it was not good to have a seizure in court at the birthday banquet of Queen Liang, so he had to swallow this breath back.

Solving Cheng Wei's "bed bug", Ye Lingyi suddenly pretended to be surprised, pulled Han Shili up from the ground, and said in a panic: "Niangniang, Guifei Niangniang, what's wrong with you?" Be...... Is it a headache? ”

Han Shili was forced to get up, just as he felt confused, he looked at Ye Lingyi, and when he saw him winking playfully, he immediately reacted, and made a look of being unstable on his feet with great cooperation, half leaning on Ye Lingyi's body to support his forehead, and said softly: "I don't know what's wrong, my head is a little dizzy, maybe I suffered from the cold last night." ”

All eyes were on him.

Li Yuanlin was stunned, first indifferent, and then saw Ye Lingyi's meaningful eyes, as if inspired, he immediately got up three steps and took two steps down, protected Han Shili in his arms, and said with a "nervous" face: "Aifei, Aifei, is this uncomfortable?" Come...... Come on! ”

The king was powerful, and the originally noisy and lively palace suddenly quieted down, and several palace maids held their breath and rushed over with their front feet.

"!" At this time, Han Shili's personal palace maid Lianyi also returned, and suddenly saw that his master looked pale and about to faint, he was very frightened, and trotted over and knelt down with a group of palace people.

"The concubine is unwell, how are you minions serving? Isn't life in the palace too easy, and everyone wants to be assigned as an official slave? Li Yuanlin feigned anger.

The palace people were frightened, and they all bowed their heads in silence, only one of the palace maids who had been behind Han Shili muttered in a low voice: "Isn't it that the mother herself has to hold on?" ”

"Dare to talk back!" Li Yuanlin was ruthless, "Come on, drag this slave who doesn't know whether he is alive or dead, and punish him with thirty rods!" ”

The palace maid was shocked and said in horror: "Your Majesty! Please forgive the slaves! The slave is a momentary gaffe, and I won't dare next time! By the way, the Queen Mother blamed Niangniang, and the slave maid still felt unfair for Niangniang in her heart! The slave and maid really don't dare, beg the emperor to spare the slave and maid! ”

"Presumptuous!" When Empress Liang heard the palace maid mention herself, she slapped the jade case angrily and shouted: "Do you want to say that Concubine Han is sick of mourning for her family?" How dare a slander the mourning family? If the mourning family is going to punish you for the nine clans on weekdays, the violent corpse wilderness to forgive its sins, but today you are lucky, the mourning family's birthday is happy to avoid damage to the country and do not want to make a big move, but the death penalty can be avoided and the living crime cannot be escaped, and the mourning family never wants to see you in the palace again! Emperor, let's quickly assign this unlucky to an official slave! ”

Liang Hou's tone was not asking for advice, but commanding.

This couldn't help but remind Li Yuanlin of those humiliating days in the past, and remembered that he was like a puppet who had no right to decide everything, and a trace of hatred flashed in the depths of his eyes.

Considering that today was her birthday, he ordered the guards in a deep voice: "What are you still doing in a daze?" Why don't you take this official slave away? ”

The palace maids were terrified, for them, the palace people, being assigned to be official slaves was far more terrifying than asking them to die.

"Your Majesty, please don't! Emperor! Empress...... Save the slave and the maid! The palace maid cried and begged in the footsteps of Li Yuanlin and Han Shili, but unfortunately it was too late, and the two guards stepped forward and mercilessly carried them out of Shengning Palace.

Li Yuanlin frowned, looked at Han Shili with a sick face with "concern", and ordered again: "Since Han Guifei is unwell, why don't you help Guifei go back to rest?" ”

After the scene just now, the palace people didn't dare to take a breath, for fear that they would end up with the same fate if they provoked Long Yan's displeasure, and now where do they dare to disobey the emperor's orders?

Han Shili left with the support and embrace of a group of palace people.

Cheng Wei could only watch, although he gritted his teeth with hatred, his eyes were full of killing intent, and the green tendons of his clenched fists burst out, but he couldn't do anything at all.

After a short period of farce, the birthday banquet resumed its staggered excitement, with everyone greeting each other and singing and dancing as if nothing had happened.

Only the clear and deep eyes hidden behind the silver mask stared at Ye Lingyi, and the appearance of being preoccupied.

Ye Lingyi also looked over, collided with the direct line of sight on the opposite side, and his heartbeat fell suddenly.

He always seemed to have a magic that could attract her, especially the eyes that condensed the whirlpool, and the first look at them made people get involved in them, and it was difficult to extricate themselves.

The two were inseparable and looked at each other tightly.

However, at such an instant, a slender figure suddenly broke into his sight.

Ye Lingyi recognized her, it was Helian Che's rumored fiancΓ©e, the daughter of the Shangshu family of the Ministry of War!

Today, she wore a lake-colored cloud-sleeved cigarette skirt, smiled elegantly, and cautiously walked to the family seat behind Helian Che, and whispered something to the woman who didn't know whose family it was, with a sincere expression, and raised her finger to point to an empty family seat here during the conversation, the woman immediately understood, smiled and turned her ambiguous eyes between the two, and then got up and gave up her position.

The woman sat down peacefully.

The bartender was also clever, and immediately bought a new wine utensil and poured it full of wine.

The woman smiled and nodded behind her, immediately gaining the favor of the bartender.

Like the tip of an onion, the tender white leaf lifted up and gently patted Helian Che's back.

Helian Che turned around and saw the woman behind him, and was inevitably surprised.

The woman pursed her lips and smiled shyly, her eyes were full of the tenderness of her youngest daughter's family, holding the long cuffs with one hand, grabbing the wine glass with the other, and making a toasting gesture with Helian Che.

Helian Che did not move, and even the look of surprise in his eyes changed to indifference, turned around, and no longer paid attention to her.

The woman's toasting action froze like this, and immediately thought that she was a famous lady, and she needed to maintain everyone's demeanor at all times, and now she drank with her sweetheart, which damaged her gentle and soft image but was slightly inappropriate, and then smiled with relief, and put down the wine glass after taking a sip of herself.

However, what the woman didn't know was that her happy face at this moment was like a sharp sword, which pierced Ye Lingyi's heart violently, making her feel the pain of the knife.

She couldn't take it anymore and turned to leave.

Helian Che's tense expression became slightly flustered as she was about to leave, and he wanted to get up and chase her.

It's a pity that someone was one step ahead of him, and a big slender hand grabbed her arm in time, and her handsome face was full of worry, reminding: "You are the emperor's personal palace maid, but you have to think clearly, leaving now is a big crime to leave your post without permission!" At that time, if the queen mother blames her, the teacher will be famous, and even the emperor will be difficult to intercede for you. ”
