Chapter 81: The Great Time
Royal Family Dinner.
As far as the eye can see, there is extreme luxury, even Qin Kexin, who has been in the palace for a long time, has never seen such a big battle.
In addition to the luxurious tableware and ornaments, even the clothes worn by the people attending the family banquet are much more luxurious than usual, although most of them are made by the Clothing Bureau, but they are still very different from the people they wear.
Coupled with the fact that he had a secret mission on this trip, Qin Kexin was inevitably a little cramped.
"Don't be nervous, I'm here." The careful Xiao Shujun noticed that Qin Kexin was uncomfortable and comforted.
Qin Kexin looked at Xiao Shujun gratefully, fortunately he was with him.
"Yo, this is not Qin Zhang's business, how can you be qualified to participate in the royal family's family banquet?" The royal family banquet is naturally indispensable to King Qi's daughter Xiao Ruoxue.
"yes, why did she come to participate?"
"It's just the head of the Clothing Bureau......"
Everyone who was attracted by Xiao Ruoxue's sharp tone mocked Qin Kexin the same.
"It was this king who brought Qin to take charge of the matter, what, do you have an opinion?" Faced with the ridicule and questioning of Qin Kexin's voice, Xiao Shujun responded loudly.
Hearing His Royal Highness King Qin say this, everyone naturally didn't dare to make a sound anymore.
"But except for the personal slaves and maids of the royal family, no other outsiders are allowed to attend." Xiao Ruoxue was not afraid of death, and dared to refute King Qin, and everyone gasped.
Unexpectedly, Xiao Shujun was not annoyed, and pointed to Wu Chengchan not far away: "Concubine Li's father brought his deputy to participate, otherwise you should ask why?" ”
Xiao Ruoxue was speechless, sometimes the emperor's relatives can bring the people they want to bring the most. The crowd was convinced.
However, Xiao Shujun's words showed that Qin Kexin was the person he wanted to bring the most, and Xiao Ruoxue was very angry.
And Qin Kexin, who was on the side, couldn't take his attention off General Wu after seeing Xiao Shujun pointing at Wu Chengchan. Originally, I was worried that I would admit that I had made a mistake by General Wu, who I had never met, but I didn't expect Xiao Shujun to inadvertently help him solve the problem. Qin Kexin was now only thinking about what kind of reason he wanted to approach General Wu and tell him about Concubine Li's request.
"Let's go sit over there." Xiao Shujun interrupted Qin Kexin's train of thought, ignored Xiao Ruoxue's unconvinced gaze, walked to his exclusive seat, and temporarily added a seat to Qin Kexin beside him.
"You don't want to come here to eat delicious, do you?" Xiao Shujun was still curious about Qin Kexin's purpose of coming to the royal family banquet this time. I always felt that something big was happening, and I couldn't force Qin Kexin to tell myself. He really hoped that Qin Kexin was just here to eat and drink.
"In your eyes, I love to eat so much?" Qin Kexin asked rhetorically.
Xiao Shujun smiled and said nothing.
The family banquet began, and the dancers danced hotly. The figures of each dancing girl are extremely graceful, and their dancing postures are also exquisite.
But Qin Kexin didn't have the heart to appreciate the dance, her eyes looked around.
The emperor also looked at Qin Kexin sitting next to Xiao Shujun with his spare eyes at this moment, knowing that Qin Kexin was an emperor with a usable talent, so he would not allow her to stay by King Qin's side, or find a way to get rid of it in order to get rid of future troubles.
Qin Kexin's eyes were tightly locked on Concubine Li and General Wu, and she looked at Concubine Li from time to time. But there is never the best time to get close to General Wu, and even if there is, Concubine Li will be discovered if she leaves.
"Equinox." Sensing Qin Kexin's restlessness, Xiao Shujun patted Qin Kexin's head.
If it goes on like this, it is not a way, Qin Kexin has to create an opportunity to let Concubine Li and General Wu meet smoothly. This family dinner is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and if you miss it, you won't know what year or month it will be when you see each other again.
"I'll go out and breathe, and I'll be back in a minute." After explaining to Xiao Shujun, Qin Kexin walked out. Decided to look for an opportunity.
Xiao Shujun looked at Qin Kexin worriedly.
Xiao Ruoxue found that Qin Kexin was going out, and she actually went out with her.
"Where are you going?" Xiao Ruoxue found out that Qin Kexin was sneaky, and there must be something hidden.
It's really ghostly, Qin Kexin thought to himself. But at this moment, she didn't want to deal with Xiao Ruoxue, and directly ignored her and walked forward.
Suddenly, I saw that the next acrobatic troupe on the stage had a show with a fire, and I had a flash of inspiration.
"Is this a show you're going to be on in a moment?" Qin Kexin deliberately stepped forward to talk.
"yes, what's wrong?" Everyone else went to the waiting room, only the person holding the fire was deliberately left behind by Qin Kexin.
"I heard that the emperor temporarily changed your show to the finale." Qin Kexin didn't want to deceive people, but she couldn't help her at the moment.
"yes, how did I not know? It's a sloppy thing, and it's still time for me to ask. ”
"I'll help you hold this tinder, so that it won't be inconvenient for you to run back and forth, don't worry, I will wait for you in the same place." Qin Kexin tried to take the fire into his own hands.
The man hesitated for a moment, and finally handed over the fire to Qin Kexin.
"What the hell are you up to?" Xiao Ruoxue followed Qin Kexin with a ghost.
"By the way, His Royal Highness King Qin seems to be looking for you just now, you should go quickly." It's still easy to deal with Xiao Ruoxue, who has no brains, but you have to grieve Xiao Shujun.
Hearing that Xiao Shujun was looking for herself, Xiao Ruoxue obviously couldn't take care of Qin Kexin anymore, and ran directly to Xiao Shujun's side.
Finally, Qin Kexin was the only one left, Qin Kexin ran to the kitchen, poured some oil on the fire, and hurriedly ran back to wait for the people of the acrobatic troupe.
The oiled fire will burn more vigorously than usual, and it will inevitably cause chaos at the family feast. Qin Kexin could take this opportunity to get close to General Wu. Since the fire is burned upwards, it does not hurt anyone.
"We just played according to the original plan, little girl, you are really harmful." Although he ran for nothing, the man was not angry with Qin Kexin.
"That's I misheard, I'm sorry." Although Qin Kexin felt guilty, this was also a helpless solution.
When it was time for the acrobatic troupe to perform, Qin Kexin hid at the door, waiting for an opportunity to act.
Sure enough, the fire burned to the roof during the acrobatic troupe's performance, which was not serious, but because everyone was worried about the emperor's safety, they began to put out the fire in a fuss. The scene of the family banquet became chaotic.
Qin Kexin found the opportunity to run to General Wu's side.
At this moment, General Wu is directing the firefighting.
"General Wu, Concubine Li is waiting for you by the smallest lake in the Imperial Garden, and I want to see you." Qin Kexin was concise and to the point.
Hearing this, General Wu was obviously very hesitant, afraid that he would be burdened by Concubine Li, and he didn't know whether he should go or not.
"Concubine Li said that she wanted to settle with you this time." Qin Kexin thought to himself, if he said so, General Wu couldn't help but see Concubine Li.
Sure enough, General Wu wavered, and while others were not paying attention, he slipped out of the main hall and walked towards the Imperial Garden.
Qin Kexin glanced at Concubine Li and motioned for her to sneak out while she was in chaos.
With his task completed, Qin Kexin finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Xiao Shujun had long been eyeing Qin Kexin, who ran to General Wu's side while he was in chaos, although he didn't know what the two of them said, but his intuition told Xiao Shujun that he must be tired.
In addition, Xiao Ruoxue came to find herself just now, saying that Qin Kexin asked her to come to her, but Qin Kexin obviously knew that she hated Xiao Ruoxue. A series of abnormal behaviors all show that Qin Kexin has a problem.
Qin Kexin didn't expect that the conversation between himself and General Wu would be listened to by the people who followed his queen. Because the scene was too chaotic, Qin Kexin didn't pay attention. When the man heard this, he immediately reported it to the queen.
"Queen Mother, this is the perfect time to get rid of Concubine Li."
Although the queen has been sitting firmly in the queen's seat, she still has a strong sense of crisis. Although Concubine Li is not favored, her family is powerful and even has a fight with herself. Maybe one day his position as queen will be replaced by Concubine Li. Of course, she had to get rid of it quickly.
The queen mother, who had left the family banquet, returned to the scene. She had to make the most of this opportunity that God had given her.
"Your Majesty, seeing that the family banquet can't be held, it's better to go to the imperial garden with the concubines to relax." The queen took the initiative to invite, of course, because she wanted the emperor to catch Concubine Li and General Wu, who were together. If you say it clearly, if there is a mistake in this, you will not be able to escape the charge of framing Concubine Li. Of course, it's better to have a 'chance encounter'.
The family banquet was forced to stop halfway, and the emperor was in a bad mood. So I ushered in the invitation of the queen mother and went to the imperial garden to relax.
"What bad things are you planning?" Xiao Shujun was afraid that Qin Kexin would cause trouble, so he asked directly.
"What His Royal Highness King Qin is talking about, the slave doesn't understand very well." Now that things have been successful, the less people know about it, the better.
Seeing that Qin Kexin didn't speak, Xiao Shujun had no choice but to drag Qin Kexin back to Longying Hall to watch, so as not to cause trouble for her.
On the shore of the Royal Garden Lake, Concubine Li and Wu Chengchan, who had not seen each other for a long time, saw each other's hearts and minds again, and their eyes were already wet with tears. But because of the identities of the two, the two still kept a distance.
"Cheng Chan, I think you also heard what Qin Zhangshi said, this time I made a break with you." Concubine Li looked at Wu Chengchan tenderly.
Wu Chengchan was silent, he had lost the person he loved most for his original infirmity, and he had regretted it for a long time. But what's the use of regretting? She finally became Concubine Li's mother, and she didn't dare to exceed half a point.
"At the end of the day, you and I don't have fate. After that, he forgot about me and found a better girl to marry. Concubine Li has no intention of blaming Wu Chengchan now, she just hopes that he will live a better life.
"Mother." Wu Chengchan wanted to change Concubine Li's name at the moment, but he didn't have it after all.
This time I made a break, and the past really turned into smoke, and we will go our own way in the future. Wu Chengchan is reluctant, but there is nothing he can do.
"Your Majesty, I heard that there is a small lake in the imperial garden, and people in the palace rarely go there, but the scenery is one of the best, do you want to go with the concubines to see it?" The queen mother deliberately led the emperor to the place where Concubine Li and Wu Chengchan met.
"Since the queen said that the scenery was good, then I will go and see it together." happened to have nothing to do, and the emperor quickly agreed.
Along the way, the queen mother helped the emperor to walk quickly, for fear of missing the meeting between Concubine Li and Wu Chengchan.
