Chapter 60: Yuan Ye Changes
Although she didn't know what medicine was sold in Huaqian Gourd, Changle didn't urge, and she didn't have anything to do anyway, so she simply sat back in place, tilted her head and chatted with Huazhi with a match.
Hua Qian glanced at Changle, a little anxious. She actually wanted Changle to go up first, just now she saw Xue Qi, I don't know if Xue Jinian came, Hua Qian wanted to wait and see.
However, looking at Changle's stable appearance, it is estimated that he will not go first without waiting for her to go together.
I was thinking about finding an excuse to let Changle go first, but I heard a noise not far away.
Hua Qian and Changle looked up in unison, only to see Princess Anping sitting in a leisurely manner, and soon came to the front.
Princess Anping was originally lazy, but when she saw the two of them, she sat up straight.
Changle was the same, he stood up suddenly, his face was dark, and the two of them stood and sat together, with their postures fully open, like a cockfight about to end.
No way? Fight again? Hua Qian quietly took a step back.
Who knew that Anping only snorted coldly, looked at the two sisters, a trace of ridicule and disdain flashed in his eyes, and he was helped by the maid to walk down the chariot and walk towards Changle, in Changle's darker and darker face, he directly crossed her and went to the Moon Palace.
Hanasa: "......"
Changle: "......"
Even though An Ping didn't say a word, Changle still saw full of contempt in her expression.
There is a kind of person, even if he doesn't speak, just standing there, he can make people's hands itch uncontrollably, scratching his heart and liver and wanting to beat her to death.
Changle is very itchy!
This slut, dare to despise her?!
Chang Lehuo jumped up, stretched out his hand and slashed at the back of Anping's head, and if he couldn't dig out your eyeballs, he would have a concussion!
Hua Qian's heart jumped, and he grabbed her quickly.
"What are you doing?"
"Imperial sister, you let me go."
Hua Qian dissuaded in a low voice: "Don't mess around, today is Chinese New Year's Eve, and the queen mother will not let us go if we make a big fuss." ”
Changle was half-hugged by Hua Qian's waist, and glared at An Ping who was getting farther and farther away unwillingly: "But look at her virtue!" I couldn't help it. ”
"I can't help but endure it, didn't you say it along the way, let's discuss everything and think of a way out. If you make a fuss now, where can we retreat? ”
Changle felt justified in this, she quieted down, gently pushed Hua Qian, let her let go of herself, and then straightened out her clothes, and said indignantly: "Sister Huang, you are right. I decided, I'll go back with you after the palace banquet in a while, let's discuss it tonight, tomorrow is the beginning of the year, the new year and the new atmosphere, give her a good start. Look how I clean her up! ”
Hanasa: "......"
For Princess Changle to say that the wind is the nature of the rain, Hua Qian is really helpless.
But if you don't agree, you can't do it, this person is very persistent, so he has to hum twice in a daze, which can be regarded as agreeing to her proposal.
Princess Changle was satisfied with the flowers, and the two went to the Moon Picking Palace together.
When the two sisters climbed to the top out of breath, the Moon Picking Palace was already overcrowded, and the concubines and concubines of each palace sat together, muttering to themselves.
Hua Qian saw Xue Jinian at a glance.
Dressed in a dark red embroidered robe, wearing a black official hat, and two long hats hanging quietly in front of him, even if he sat there quietly, he was also rich and beautiful, but it did not give people a dazzling feeling, and it was very appropriate to hide in the room.
As for why she found him at a glance, it was probably because he was the only one in the room full of nobles who was her true master.
Sad, I don't give a red envelope.
Xue Jinian was sitting far away from the emperor, he also saw Hua Qian, but as if he hadn't seen anything, his eyes calmly moved to Changle beside her.
Beside him sat Yin Zishang, the eldest son of Huai Wangshu.
In fact, Hua Qian was a little puzzled, saying that it was a family banquet, how could there be a foreign minister? However, after seeing the official uniform on Xue Jinian's body, he understood it again.
The Admiral of Dongchang, even if he is in a high position, is different from ordinary courtiers after all.
In the eyes of the Heavenly Family, he is still a minion.
It's just slightly different from the eunuchs in the palace, one is an inner servant, and the other is an outward servant, both of whom are just lowly slaves.
Thinking about it like this, Hua Qian was a little sympathetic to Xue Jinian.
Because the two sisters came late, the good places were all snatched up by everyone, and the few places left in the venue were all remote corners.
The so-called good location is the position close to the emperor and queen. Especially the emperor, who can be close to a foot and never close to an inch, if his eyes stop at any woman for three more seconds, the other women will not be able to sleep when they go back tonight.
Changle swept around, and saw An Ping looking at her like a joke.
Oh, Princess Changle is so good to be seen as a joke?
In an instant, like a hen about to go to battle, she stiffened her whole body feathers, snorted, turned her steps, raised her head and chest, and walked straight towards Queen Wen.
Because the place of the Moon Picking Palace is too small, everyone sits on their knees in a circle; Or because the place is small, a big ring is not enough, with the emperor and queen as the point, there are three and a half rings on each side.
Although there is no place around the queen, she can't stand Princess Changle's two sentences about her daughter, and Emperor Xuantong didn't carry it first, so he ordered someone to add a brocade group, so that Changle was crowded under Queen Wen.
After sitting down, Changle defiantly threw a glance at Anping, and was satisfied to see the other party's angry face.
The flower that was left in place: "......"
She also found that Princess Anping was watching a good show, but Changle suddenly received it so silently, Hua Qian didn't keep up with the rhythm for a while, so that Changle was about to walk to Queen Wen's side, and she reacted.
It's useless to react, she can't follow Changle and squeeze around Queen Wen.
Mo said that there was no place around Queen Wen, even if there was, she didn't dare to come up.
Looking at Queen Wen's expression, if she is also a senior, eighty percent of them will be thrown into the corner by her.
She looked around, there were not many places left, and she didn't know why the position was empty in Xue Jiqian ago, so Hua Qian simply sat down.
When she sat down, in order to avoid suspicion, she didn't even give Xue Jinian a look.
Admiral Xue, who remained silent, frowned almost imperceptibly.
Originally, it stands to reason that Hua Qian wanted to be good to Yin Zishang, but when it came to this Yin Zishang, she heard Princess Changle mention it that day, and she had to call him uncle in terms of seniority.
Looking at Yin Zishang's face in his prime, calling him uncle, Hua Qian is really hard to say.
I don't even think I saw it.
After sitting down, Hua Qian looked around curiously, although she didn't see Xue Qi, she was almost 100% sure that Xue Qi must have passed on the conversation between her and Changle to Xue Jinian word for word.
Maybe even Changle's posture of planting the chariot is depicted thoroughly.
Thinking of Xue Jinian's promise that night, it turned out that making a small trip to Changle was revenge?
Looking at it this way, Xue Jinian is still a little cute.
The banquet must be inseparable from singing and dancing, a group of palace maids who wear very little clothes jumped up on the square platform in the middle, and the water sleeves danced gracefully, and Hua Qian felt cold for them when they looked at it.
The Moon Picking Palace is the highest place in the entire palace, standing on the top, the prosperity of Shangjing is in full view.
Standing on the stargazing platform and looking at the lights of thousands of homes at the bottom of your feet, people have a sense of pride and passion.
But His Majesty the Emperor probably forgot that in addition to the visual effects, the strength of the wind is also very satisfying.
The first-level wind is three degrees lower, and I don't know how many levels of north wind are free and unrestrained in the north-south transparent Moon Picking Palace, which makes the harem all the delicate flowers and faces like vegetables miserable.
Although they wore a lot, they couldn't help but be raging by the wind, and although the blush and eyebrows were declining, they were blown by the wind, and no matter how good the blush was, they couldn't cover the paleness on their faces, and there was still green in the white.
But in order to celebrate, they all wore big red lipstick. So in the contrast of the miserable white face, it was even more red and thrilling, and at night, it made people panic.
Emperor Xuantong was also a little panicked, but who let this place be chosen by him, and these women were also chosen by him, even if it was terrifying, he had to grit his teeth and persevere. Wonderful Pen Court
The sky is getting darker and darker, and the palace lamps are lit up on the pillars around them in turn, and with the wind fluttering, the blowing lights are clearly extinguished, as if they are going to be haunted.
In such an environment, who will watch singing and dancing with peace of mind, it is estimated that except for a few women who are thinking about the dragon bed, everyone else is silently praying that the time will pass quickly, so that they can go back to each palace and sleep in each bed earlier.
As for the food on the table, hehe, no one moved.
Hua Qian stretched out his hand and tried it, but his hands were very frozen.
She quietly touched it in her arms, and the soup woman and the dim sum were hot.
Looking around, seeing that no one noticed him, he quickly took out a piece of snack and stuffed it into his mouth, lowered his head and pretended to tidy up his clothes, and chewed quickly.
Chewing and chewing, he suddenly heard a very light jingle behind him, Hua Qian subconsciously looked back, and saw Xue Jinian's small porcelain cup falling under the case, and it was spinning at this time.
She raised her gaze slightly in surprise, and met Xue Jinian's gaze. Hua Qian was so shocked that she forgot that she was still eating in her mouth, opened it slightly, and a few crumbs fell out, and then she saw Xue Jinian raise her eyebrows.
Stealing snacks at work, and being caught by my boss.
In this situation, it would be a great sin to eat alone again.
Hua Qian's mouth was wiped away, he quickly swept his eyes around, stretched his hand back, and picked up Xue Jinian's small porcelain cup by covering it with his sleeve.
On weekdays, among so many pairs of eyes, Hua Qian would not dare to make small movements no matter how bold she was.
However, today is different from the past, now everyone's eyes are on the emperor, and the actual attention is on themselves, so in such a cold day, it is not easy to control the trembling amplitude of the body.
Her mind is full of thoughts on the big bed in her own house, how can she care about her small actions under the table.
However, Hua Qian still didn't dare to be careless, her eyes wandered, her body did not move, but her hand quietly leaned back. She had to be glad that the land of the Moon Palace was small, and everyone had to sit together, if it was changed to the Imperial Pole Platform, she would not be able to touch a corner of Xue Jinian's clothes even if she was as long as an ape.
Xue Jinian looked at the singing and dancing in the middle, as if he was in a state of mind. Suddenly, the corner of his clothes moved, and he quietly lowered his eyes slightly, and saw a small oiled paper bag at the foot of the low table.
He hooked his lips slightly, his eyes were as usual, and he reached out and hooked it directly into his sleeve.
Yin Zishang held on to the wine glass and tasted it slowly. This is a palace treasure, and it really lives up to its name.
Tasting and tasting, his eyes stopped somewhere, and he took advantage of the geography to take in Hua Qian's self-confessed hidden bribery methods. He originally thought that this was Princess Changning's deliberate flattery, but when he saw Xue Jinian accepting the dim sum without changing his face, Yin Zishang was surprised.
Sensing that Xue Jinian seemed to look at him casually, Yin Zishang slightly lifted the wine cup, and took advantage of the wine tasting momentum to turn his gaze to the field casually, but he was shocked in his heart, with the relationship between Empress Wen and the imperial concubine, these two people ......
On the field, the delicate imperial concubine leaned slightly towards Emperor Xuantong, and although her face was pale from the cold, she still laughed with Emperor Xuantong unscrupulously.
Yin Zishang looked at the imperial concubine Liu Ruyue with a hint of pity, this woman didn't know that after tonight, everything would change......
After a song and dance, everyone began to push the cup to change the lamp to contact the feelings, although the dishes were frozen, but it did not hinder everyone's apparent unity and friendship, toasting each other and saying congratulations to each other.
These people fight to the death on weekdays, but they are all good players on the scene. said that I wish you every year and today, the flowers and the moon are beautiful and the country is fragrant, and I think that the other party will be buried tomorrow.
The women in the palace have always been good at whitewashing the peace.
Xue Jinian's expression was calm, but he couldn't stop feeling disgusted in his heart.
There was nothing to see on his face, and no one knew what he was thinking at the moment. His gaze lightly swept at the imperial concubine on the main table, and finally landed on Princess Changle, who was leaning on Queen Wen's coquettishness, and his eyes became heavier and heavier.
Because everyone began to be casual, Hua Qian took this opportunity to quickly turn around and whisper to Xue Jinian: "Eat quickly, it won't taste good if it's cold." ”
Although she moved quickly and spoke quickly, Xue Jinian still understood completely, because he understood, so his tense emotions relaxed slightly, he reached out and pinched the piece of dim sum that was still a little warm, and his eyes fell softly on Hua Qian's back.
No matter what the weather is, today is the emperor's east, and everyone has to pretend to be very happy by the emperor's grace even if they are so cold that their noses are bubbling out.
Emperor Xuantong is estimated to be frozen enough, but who let the idea come up with him, for the sake of the face of the Ninety-Five Supreme, he will also freeze until the end of the banquet.
Having said that, the body is very honest, and as he speaks, he gets closer and closer to the imperial concubine. As a result, Queen Wen's face was even worse, the blue was purple, the white was black, and under the background of the bright and flickering lights, she looked at it from a distance, like an old demon.
Hua Qian's heart sighed, and she always felt that something was going to happen tonight.
The singer is still chattering, the pianist is still tinkling, and no one pays attention to who's cup falls to the ground in this piece of singing and dancing, making a crisp sound on the white jade slab.
Sudden change!
I saw that a few guards who were originally guarding the wall suddenly pulled out their matching knives and wiped their companions' necks with their backhands.
The nobles of the heavenly family, who were still drunk and dreaming of death, let out a scream after a moment of silence!
"Help, ahh......!!!!h
Sonic boom in the wild.
Hua Qian's eyes were fast, his long sleeves covered his head, he closed his eyes and flipped back, and directly fell into Xue Jinian's arms, directly throwing him to the ground, and when he fell on the table and flying chair, he rolled on the ground with him, and rolled directly behind the huge column behind his head.
A series of actions flowed smoothly, and it was rare for Xue Jinian not to react.
This dragon cylinder is enough wide for three or four people to encircle, Hua Qian tightly grabbed Xue Jinian's arm, and calmly observed the situation on the field.
I saw those rebel guards rushing into the crowd like mad dogs, killing people when they saw them, and cutting down the royal people.
Of course, on the current occasion, they don't have to choose, except for the slave who is the master, they can't do anything to cut down a minion.
All of a sudden, blood splattered corpses all over the ground, like a Shura hell.
Although these harem masters are not good people on weekdays, who doesn't have one or two lives in their hands, but ordering people to kill and witnessing them are two different things, besides, they are the ones who are being stabbed as pigs now, and no one can stand it.
A few of them passed out on the spot.
There are pros and cons to fainting in this scenario. When I rolled my eyes, I couldn't see it. The disadvantage is that if your own people can't resist and run away, most of them won't be able to take care of you, and maybe you will be trampled on a few times. Of course, it's possible that the Assassins won't care about you either.
Assassination also requires a lot of energy, and in the chaos, few people will take the time to stab the "corpse" a few times.
The jade nobleman was very unconscious, and the whole person slid directly at the bottom of the table, unlike Concubine Shu, who stupidly approached the emperor, and was cut by an assassin who rushed to the front, and the upper and lower bodies were almost divided into two ways, and he died completely.
Hua Qian observed while comforting Xue Jinian: "Don't be afraid, I will protect you." ”
"Protect me?"
"Hmm." She hugged his arm tightly, and he could feel her body tremble.
"You're scared?"
Nonsense, those assassins cut people like chopping vegetables, one by one, who is not afraid?
Hua Qian really regretted it, I knew it earlier, and I would have carried a whole bag when I went out this morning.
She raised her head and said in a low voice: "Don't be afraid, as long as Xianggong is fine, I won't be afraid." ”
Xue Jinian was stunned, then smiled slightly, he reached out and gently pinched Hua Qian's face: "Good girl." ”
Hua Qian was shocked In the other party's intimate actions, Xue Jinian occasionally smiled, but she always laughed so much that people's hearts were shocked, unlike now, she actually saw a trace of tenderness in his eyes.
He patted her on the shoulder, then stood up.
"What are you going to do?"
Xue Jinian glanced back at her, his gaze soft: "Kill."
Hanasa: "......"
When the words fell, a sword suddenly flashed sideways, pinched with one hand, clamped the blade between two fingers, and in Hua Qian's shocked gaze, he pulled a beautiful sword flower, hooked the other party in front of him, and clasped his neck with one palm the next moment.
"You ......" heard a click, and the assassin's neck tilted to the side in an abnormal position.
The wind behind him was abrupt, Xue Jinian's posture was fluttering, he grabbed the opponent's sharp long knife, and slashed back at the opponent's neck with a flip of his wrist, the force was so great that the person involuntarily followed the knife momentum for half a circle, and the blood mist sprayed, and he fell to the ground without a sound.
To death, the man's eyes widened in disbelief.
Xue Jinian's gaze swept over his corpse very quickly, his eyes were cold, he tilted his head slightly, and said to Hua Qian, who was squatting at his feet and looking up at him like a fool: "Hide, don't move!" ”
Immediately, his eyes narrowed, his body was like lightning, and he instantly joined the already chaotic battle.
