Chapter 74: Birthday I
"Hmm." Hearing Jiang Wen's words, Jing Xi responded lightly.
After a while, Xinliu lifted the curtain of the carriage, took the lead in getting out of the carriage, took the low pier and put it beside him, and then carefully helped the county lord to get out of the carriage, and as for Chunmian, he followed last, holding the necessary clothes and supplies in his hands.
Jing Xi stepped forward and saw her father holding her two younger brothers waiting for her, and suddenly felt warm in her heart. "Father, Ah Heng Ah Yan."
"Sister."
"Hey, let's go." As King Rong spoke, he took the three of them into the Prime Minister's Mansion, and Gu Yang had already stepped forward to submit the invitation, and then he heard the little guy shouting loudly: "Lord Rong has arrived, Xiao Shizi, the county king, the county lord has arrived!" ”
Then Jing Xi saw the people of the Prime Minister's Mansion bowing, Jing Xi followed his father's side, looked at his father and nodded at them and said: No courtesy.
After that, he saw the butler of the Prime Minister's Mansion respectfully leading them to the reception house. Jing Xi looked at the scenery of this Xiangfu while walking, and along the way, Jing Xi could still hear the loud report of the little guy at the gate: "Lord Li has arrived~"
"Hou Ye has arrived~"
……
Jingxi and they followed the housekeeper all the way through the bluestone road, through the gate of the front yard, past the pavilions, and after a while, they arrived at the reception courtyard of the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Not to mention, there is also a unique scenery in this prime minister's house, rockery and flowing water, curved bridges and plank roads, pavilions and pavilions, which are really overwhelming.
"Lord Wang, it's here." I saw the steward take them to the main courtyard, where many ministers and officials had arrived, with their families, seated at different tables.
After Jingxi and they were seated, the butler bowed and bowed and withdrew.
With the passage of time, the guests sat down, Jing Xi saw a spirited old man sitting on the high platform, only to see his father bow slightly, it seems that the person is the birthday star of today's banquet - Su Dong, Su old man, the father of the current prime minister Su Lie, was the emperor's teacher, that is, the emperor's teacher, but he was old and resigned a few years ago.
Of course, the old man Su, who resigned, still enjoys the benefits of the imperial court. (In other words, it's a bit like receiving a state pension.) )
Immediately afterwards, many women on the women's table not far away exclaimed, and Jing Xi heard:
"It doesn't matter." The sound is like a drizzle, and the moisturizing things are like crisp.
Jing Xi looked for the sound, and saw that the person who came was dressed in white, approaching the high platform unhurriedly, like a halo, soft and dense but shining all the way, Jing Xi suddenly thought, is this the so-called "Penglong Shine"?
His appearance, Jing Xi thinks, among the people he has seen since coming here, only Xiao Yichen is comparable to him, of course, Brother Cheng Xuan, and Shao Yu also have their own merits.
He is as beautiful as a painting of ink and blue, not strong or unassuming, light and melodious, and lucky.
He is a painting, like a Nine Heavens Immortal into the mortal world.
There was a sudden gasping sound in the reception courtyard, and the man was unconscious. Knowing that he stood in front of Old Man Su, he called coldly and warmly: "Grandpa." ”
Suddenly, Jing Xi realized that this person was the head of the four great talents in the capital, Su Ruizhou, the eldest son of the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Strictly speaking, this is the first time that Jing Xi has looked at Su Ruizhou so seriously and closely, sure enough
is handsome, like a god, and Brother Chen has its own merits.
While Jing Xi was looking at Su Ruizhou, he was also looking at the Zhaoning County Lord in front of him.
I saw that the lord of Zhaoning was wearing a goose yellow skirt, his long hair was gently curled, only an Aoxue plum hairpin was inserted, and a blue pattern was also worn on his smooth porcelain white forehead. The palm-sized and small melon seed face is pitiful, and the skin is like condensation, smooth and fair. Like the first snow in the cold winter, crystal clear, warm and clear. Under the straight and delicate nose is a small pink cherry mouth.
When Su Ruizhou looked over, he saw the girl's black and white eyes as pure and innocent as a fawn looking at him, her eyes were clean and pure, and the eyes looking at him were full of appreciation.
found that after looking at her, he retracted his gaze calmly, completely different from the posture of the young lady next to him.
It can be seen that the county lord of Zhaoning is really a wonderful person.
After looking at it for a while, Jing Xi retracted his gaze, focused his attention on the pastries and sweets on the table in front of him, and was not polite, he tasted it with chopsticks, not to mention, he slept all the way in the carriage, and when he saw the food, Jing Xi was ready to move.
When the banquet was about to start, the reception courtyard was already full, at this time, there was a sudden commotion outside the courtyard, and then Jing Xi heard people outside the door shouting: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has arrived~"
Immediately Jing Xi knew the reason for the commotion, it is said that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has participated in the government for two years, which has made many officials in the capital afraid, not only because it is rumored by outsiders that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince kills people without blinking, and is arrogant and cold, but what scares the minister the most should be His Royal Highness the Prince's intelligence ability, because His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has found out a group of corrupt officials and ministers who have bent the law and deceived their superiors and subordinates in just two years, and after getting the emperor's permission, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince let them watch those officials stabbed to death by him with a sword.
Not only that, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince also found out a very hidden fine work in a neighboring country, and what is even more frightening is that this fine work is now in the second grade, but after His Royal Highness found out, he still executed that fine work in front of Lingxiao Hall without blinking an eye.
At this point, His Royal Highness the Prince's ruthless and decisive reputation made them afraid, but at the same time, His Royal Highness the Prince's ability convinced them from the bottom of their hearts, but in reality, they still didn't dare to have too much contact with the Prince, all because, afraid!
For these rumors, Jing Xi doesn't think there is anything terrible, besides, Brother Chen, as the crown prince, according to the words of the future world, is almost the leader of a country, and he has to find out and deal with the problematic officials under his hands one by one, as for the execution in front of them, it is clear that he is killing chickens and monkeys, and warning the ministers: This is the end.
Grim and cruel? Jing Xi didn't feel this at all, even if there was, it should be, being merciful to the enemy is cruel to himself, Jing Xi has always known this, and he has also taken it as a criterion.
In a blink of mind, Jing Xi saw him coming from a distance, his figure had not yet appeared, and the powerful invisible coercion was like a Daodao blade suspended above everyone's heads, and the timid officials and female dependents bowed their heads very low between bowing and saluting, eager to be buried in the soil.
As he approached, everyone still maintained the posture of saluting, and the scene was mixed
In the crowd, Xiao Yichen, who was with his father, bowed slightly.
Jing Xi looked at the reactions of the people around him, and felt very funny, and suddenly accidentally laughed, some of the people around him had already frowned, and even thought about whether the delicate Zhaoning County Lord would be punished, and then saw a very unexpected scene:
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said lightly, and everyone looked up, only to find that His Royal Highness the Prince, who had been smiling all along, was smiling faintly in the direction of King Rong, although it seemed to them that he only raised the corners of his mouth slightly, which still surprised them.
Then everyone saw that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was walking towards King Rong with a steady pace, and Xiao Feng behind him followed step by step.
"Brother Chen." The soft and glutinous voice sounded, making everyone sweat for Jing Xi, and saw the "killing god" in their eyes walk up to the county lord of Zhaoning, raise his hand and touch her hair, and said in a soft tone that they had never seen before: "Hmm." Then he called lightly to King Rong: "Uncle Wang." ”
"Your Highness." King Rong said, watching His Royal Highness put his hand on the top of his daughter's head, King Rong was a little depressed, when did he become so familiar with the prince? How did he not know? Pantothenic acid in the heart.
Come on, King Rong's favorite female controller is really indiscriminately attacking.
Xiao Yichen ignored everyone's surprise and sat down in the vacant seat next to King Rong.
Seeing this, Prime Minister Su was also a little surprised, but he didn't say much, but stepped forward and said, "Today is my father's seventieth birthday, and Su is grateful for coming here." ”
Next, needless to say, there is the opening speech, and then there is the entertainment program prepared by the Prime Minister. Of course, during this period, there must be some young ladies from big families who performed on stage.
Of course, during this period, Jing Xi also innocently noticed a few hateful glances, and quietly looked at it along the perception, and found that it was the white lotus Meng Xiang of the Meng family a few days ago, and there was a hateful gaze from the Bai family, Jing Xi was a little surprised, but she didn't remember what she did to the Bai family, right?
After thinking about it, Jing Xi suddenly thought of Bai Mei.
The pianist who was ordered by Jing Xi to be thrown out of the palace a few years ago.
At that time, Jing Xi was interested and wanted to learn the piano, and after his father agreed, he asked Gu Yang to pay attention to the matter of the piano master. Soon after, a luthier named Bai Mei came to the palace and claimed to teach the county master how to play the piano for free.
Gu Yang investigated and indeed affirmed that her piano skills were good, so she entered the palace, but who knew that Baimei was actually coming for her father.
In fact, Jing Xi's idea is not very stubborn, if the father marries another, then as long as the two of them really love each other and are good to the two cubs, Jing Xi will not have an opinion, but the problem is that the father does not arbitrarily want to continue the string.
That Baimei heard the news from somewhere, so she came to the palace by herself, and taught the piano in the name of it. That Bai Mei had the audacity to drug her father in the water, in a vain attempt to become the mistress of the palace, if Jing Xi hadn't found out that something was wrong, I am afraid that her father would have been tricked a long time ago, Jing Xi was angry, and directly ordered Bai Mei to take the piano directly out of the palace gate.
Later, Bai Mei also instructed people to spread the word about her in the capital, which is the so-called "Qin."
division turmoil".
Of course, at that time, the father was furious when he found out about it, and directly found out that there was a handwriting of the Bai family in the rumors.
The emperor doesn't like his relatives to be powerful, especially the Bai family, so it's strange that the emperor doesn't take advantage of this excuse. Sure enough, after that, the Bai family was skinned, although it was not as good as the root, but it also lost some family business, which was painful for the head of the Bai family, who regarded wealth as his life.
For this reason, the Bai family can't wait to find the handle of Rongwangfu, but unfortunately, they can't do it.
……
Seeing this, Jing Xi didn't care, in the face of strength, all conspiracies and tricks were paper tigers. If it really happens to her, she has a way to clean it up.
……
Gradually, Jing Xi also felt a little bored, and he drank a lot of juice just now, thinking about going to Gongfang, and by the way, he breathed in the courtyard, so he whispered to his father and brother Chen, and went out alone.
