Chapter 184: A Masterpiece

Yan Zixi hesitated slightly, and hurriedly got up to prevaricate.

But before he could speak, the emperor also smiled and said.

"Zixi, since the queen and the concubine want to hear you compose poems, don't shirk!"

"Yes, Your Majesty, then Zixi will be ugly."

Yan Zixi saw that the emperor had spoken, if she resigned again, she really couldn't say it, it would be disobeying the holy order, Yan Zixi didn't dare to anger Long Yan.

Yan Zixi lowered her head and pondered, everyone thought that Yan Zixi was thinking, so they all kept silent, worried that it would affect Yan Zixi's train of thought. As everyone knows, at this time, Yan Zixi was looking for poems about the banquet in her mind.

After thinking about it for a long time, Yan Zixi finally vaguely remembered that Li Bai's poem described the grand scene of the banquet, and sure enough, she had to look at Li Bai at the critical moment.

When the preparations were almost complete, Yan Zixi cleared her throat, and then slowly chanted. She deliberately slowed down so that to outsiders it appeared to be what she had thought of herself.

"In the past, I heard Yan Guanglu, and climbed the dragon to feast on Jinghu. The building ship enters the heavenly mirror, and the tent opens the clouds. The king's song is windy, such as music and abundance. Extend the years to present masterpieces, Miao and poets. I don't have time to do this, independent Zhongshan is lonely. Yang Zaimu breeze, fragrant sound soaring sea. The British wings are full of four, and they are like Qionglin. The crane's head is upside down, and the eyebrows are adorned with pearls. The new string picks the pear orchard, and the ancient dance is delicate. The curvature surrounds the clouds, and the listeners are entertained......"

Yan Zixi chanted slowly, the civil and military officials listened patiently, and the scholars of the Hanlin Academy silently recited in their hearts, and the more they memorized, the more incredible they felt.

It was rumored that Princess Xiao of the Zhenguo General's Mansion had a big Xiao Shixian before, but he didn't believe it, but now it seems that the rumors are really true, and this Princess Xiao's talent is probably worse than that of Concubine Xiao!

Just when the scholar of the Hanlin Academy thought so, Yan Zixi continued to read out the rest of the poems: "...... The chickens are noisy, and the moon is boiling. The palace of the ancient emperor is now a human Qiaosu. Thanks to this persuasion, I wish you to cover the scoop pot. Prosperity is regarded as fun, and there is no order for the future to call ......"

After reading a poem, it immediately attracted a full house.

"Good poetry, good poetry, come to someone, reward!" The emperor was also full of praise for Yan Zixi's poems, which directly made people appreciate them.

Yan Zixi hurriedly knelt down and thanked the holy grace.

The concubines led by the second imperial concubine saw that Yan Zixi was in the limelight in front of everyone again, and their eyes were full of jealousy.

In fact, only Yan Zixi understands in her heart that on the surface, she looks infinitely stable like an old dog, but deep down she has long been frightened, and she is still frightened until now.

Yan Zixi was not very familiar with the poem just now, so she stammered when she recited it, and her heart was about to reach her throat.

But what Yan Zixi didn't expect was that because she stumbled when she was reciting, she made others believe that this poem was written by her.

Otherwise, the emperor would not have been the first to take the lead in applauding, and he also rewarded her heavily.

After Yan Zixi received the reward, he retreated to his seat, and as soon as he returned to his seat, Xiao Jingcong immediately gave him a thumbs up.

"Xi'er, it's really yours!"

"Jingcong, don't bury me! You don't know I'm scared to death just now! Yan Zixi patted her chest and said to Xiao Jingcong with a vegetable.

Xiao Jingcong smiled slightly, glanced at Yan Zixi meaningfully, and stopped talking.

After the end of the poem, it is time for the banquet.

When Yan Zixi was about to toast Concubine Shu, she was stumbled by Murong Qianqian, Yan Zixi stumbled, if it wasn't for Xiao Jingcong in the back to support her in time, Yan Zixi might have fallen to the ground on the spot.

But even if he didn't fall, the glass of wine in Yan Zixi's hand spilled out because of staggering, and there was almost no drop left, fortunately he didn't wet his clothes, otherwise it would be embarrassing.

Yan Zixi turned around and glared at Murong Qianqian, who was full of smugness, not knowing what she meant. She suppressed the anger in her heart, and didn't bother to bother with her, after all, this was the birth banquet of the lady concubine, and Yan Zixi didn't want to make a big deal about it.

But who wanted Yan Zixi to take a step back, then Murong Qianqian took a step further, and mocked there with a smile in her mouth.

"Yo, Princess Xiao, what's wrong with you? Why can't you walk steadily? Are you still immersed in the joy of just reciting poetry? ”

Yan Zixi snorted coldly, and said with a smile in her mouth: "Lord Qianqian, it was I who accidentally tripped myself under my feet, and I have a relationship with you!" ”

Yan Zixi had something to say, and anyone with a discerning eye could see what was going on just now, but Yan Zixi did not defend herself, nor did she blame Murong Qianqian, but instead "shielded" her, and it was clear which was higher and which was lower.

Concubine Shuniang pursed her lips and smiled with satisfaction, and seemed to have a better impression of Yan Zixi.

At this time, Xiao Jingcong also walked over, he pushed Murong Qianqian away, and hummed in his mouth, "Qianqian, you are enough!" ”

Xiao Jingcong was not scaring Murong Qianqian, but was really angry.

Xiao Jingcong was behind Yan Zixi just now, so he saw it really clearly, knowing that it was Murong Qianqian who tripped Yan Zixi just now, he didn't reveal it, he was also giving Murong Qianqian a face, and at the same time, he didn't want to live up to Yan Zixi's kindness. Kanshu.com

When Murong Qianqian heard Xiao Jingcong's scolding, she immediately pretended to be aggrieved and cried there.

"Brother Jingcong, why are you murdering me? You weren't like that before! Ever since you had this woman, you've been very fierce to me, what did Qianqian do badly, you said, I will definitely change it! ”

Until now, Murong Qianqian still did not give up on Xiao Jingcong, and even had a trace of fantasy, fantasizing that one day she could get together with Xiao Jingcong again and fall in love with each other.

But after all, this is just a dream she has, and Xiao Jingcong will never be with her. It is destined to be just a hopeless bubble.

"Huh, boring!"

After Xiao Jingcong finished reprimanding, he snorted coldly and ignored Murong Qianqian, returned to his seat, poured a glass of wine again, and walked in front of Concubine Shuniang.

"Concubine Niangniang, let me drink this glass of wine on behalf of Xi'er!"

When Concubine Shu heard this, the corners of her mouth hooked up a chuckle, "Jingcong, your princess wants to toast me, what are you fooling up there?" ”

"Concubine Niangniang, then you don't know, my Xi'er has always been too strong to drink, I'm worried that Xi'er will be drunk and unconscious after this glass of wine, and I will have to carry him back when the time comes, so ah, let me do it for you."

When Yan Zixi heard Xiao Jingcong's words, she looked at him with great emotion. She knew that Xiao Jingcong was for her own good, and she was thinking about herself everywhere.

But after all, this wine is to be given to today's protagonist, Concubine Shu, how can Yan Zixi fake others!

In that case, the lady concubine and the emperor may also be unhappy, right?

Thinking of this, Yan Zixi gently pulled the corner of Xiao Jingcong's clothes and whispered to him: "Jingcong, or let me come to the bar by myself?" ”

Xiao Jingcong frowned slightly, and asked with a concerned face: "Xi'er, can you?" ”

"Don't worry, Jingcong, it's okay, I can drink a little." Yan Zixi responded.

When Xiao Jingcong heard Yan Zixi say this, she nodded and handed the glass of wine in her hand to Yan Zixi's hand.

Yan Zixi walked in front of Concubine Shuniang with the glass of wine and respectfully toasted her.

"Concubine Niangniang, Zixi respects you with this glass of wine, I wish you a good year, a good day!"

"Good! There is a good year today, and every year there is a day. Come on, reward! ”

Concubine Niangniang was very satisfied, and while asking someone to give a reward, she took the wine in Yan Zixi's hand and drank it all.

After drinking, when the lady was about to say something, her body suddenly shook violently, and then her face showed pain, and her mouth also screamed there.

"Ah, my stomach hurts...... This wine ...... Something wrong with this drink? The lady pointed to the wine glass, spat out a mouthful of black blood, and was about to pour it.

When the emperor saw this, he immediately ran over in a panic, picked up the concubine and asked with concern: "Concubine Ai, what's wrong with you, Concubine Ai?!" ”

After the emperor called a few times, Concubine Shu's consciousness was already a little blurred. The emperor was suddenly angry, and turned his head to stare at Xiao Jingcong and Yan Zixi, Long Yan said angrily: "Xiao Jingcong, Yan Zixi, you are so bold!" Poisoning my beloved concubine?! Come on, immediately arrest Xiao Jingcong and Yan Zixi, the murderers who poisoned the concubine, and send them to Dali Temple to wait for the fate! ”

Xiao Jingcong obviously didn't expect that there would be a problem with the glass of wine he poured himself, but the incident had already happened, and he could only find a way to clear himself and Yan Zixi's guilt first.

And Yan Zixi had already been stunned in place, and she didn't react for a long time.

Xiao Jingcong pulled Yan Zixi and knelt on the top of the hall together.

"The emperor forgives the sin! How could Chen and Xi'er do such an unforgivable crime as poisoning Concubine Shuniang? Someone must have framed the ministers, please let the emperor see it! ”

"Please let the emperor know!"

"Enough! I saw with my own eyes that it was you who poured the wine, and your wife Yan Zixi handed it to Concubine Shu, do you think my old eyes are dizzy? ”

"Your Majesty, there must be something else going on in this matter, according to what the concubines have seen, it is imperative to treat the concubine's sister first."

In the face of this sudden situation, the queen mother seemed much calmer, and persuaded the emperor on the side.

When the emperor heard such a reminder from the queen's mother, he realized, "Yes, yes, it's important to save the concubine!" Come on, go and pass on the doctor! ”

"Your Majesty, have you forgotten that Yan Zixi is the new imperial doctor of the Tai Hospital, and she has also cured your illness, why don't you let Yan Zixi show Sister Shufei first?"

The queen mother was very strange in her heart, she always felt that something was not right with the emperor today. The emperor on weekdays would never be so arbitrary, why is he so abnormal today?
