Chapter 45 The flowers are becoming more and more charming
Xiao Qi nodded when he heard this, and smiled understandingly, it is convenient for others to start, and it is also convenient for himself to start! If someone really has any intentions, just go to a secluded place and kill them.
Due to the large number of people entering the palace, the convoy was moving very slowly, and Bai Xiaoqi was very curious why Mu Yunche, as a prince, did not have the privilege of entering first. So he opened his mouth and asked, "Are your two princes and younger brothers also going to line up to enter?" ”
Mu Yunche smiled bitterly when he heard this: "It's not like that, it's just that I am not favored at all in front of my father, and I have no power or power, so that's why it's like this!" ”
Xiao Qi glanced at Mu Yunche apologetically, knowing that he had asked about his sore spots, and he felt a little sorry in his heart, but he didn't know how to comfort him for a while.
Mu Yunche didn't care about this, but comforted Bai Xiaoqi and said, "You don't have to be like this, I've been used to it all these years!" ”
Bai Xiaoqi looked at him and smiled forcefully, so he didn't say anything, and the car fell into silence.
After a long time, the carriage finally entered the palace, and Xiao Qi looked out curiously, only to see that the city walls here were towering, and the buildings were lined up. The entire palace is magnificent, and Xiao Qi can't help but sigh in his heart that it is worthy of being the place where the emperor of the world lives, although it is still a little worse than the Taiqing Sect, but as far as the palace is concerned, the palace of the Night River Country can be regarded as a first-class location.
When several people entered the palace, the carriage stopped at one place, and then they heard the eunuch outside the carriage whispering: "Please King Yong'an move and get off the car." ”
When Mu Yunche heard this, he didn't answer, he took out a wine jug from his arms unhurriedly, drank a few sips, sprinkled some more on his body, and then took out the rouge used by girls, wiped it on his face indiscriminately, and then got out of the car unhurriedly.
After getting out of the car, I saw him staggering, staggering forward, as if he was drunk and unconscious.
Xiao Qi also walked down after Mu Yunche got out of the car, and he was stunned when he saw him like that, and even cried and laughed a little after reacting, but Mu Yunche's acting skills were first-class, and those who didn't know really thought he had drunk too much!
Xiao Qi called Xiao Ba and Nie Chuhe, and followed behind Mu Yunche, as if they were entourage.
Several people followed Mu Yunche to the Imperial Garden, only to see that many princes and ministers had already gathered here, and some ministers had even brought their families to the banquet.
For a time, the whole imperial garden competed for beauty, and people were more delicate than flowers, which was really "chaotic flowers gradually charming eyes"!
Bai Xiaoqi and the three of them walked behind Mu Yunche and sat down in front of a seat.
At this moment, a man dressed in a purple gold python pattern robe and a gold crown walked over, stood in front of Mu Yunche, and said with a sneer: "Brother Huang is so excited today, this banquet has not yet started, he has already been drunk like this, and the father will come after a while, but I have to blame you again!" ”
Mu Yunche glanced at him, didn't get up, sneered, and said with a knotted tongue: "Lao Tzu is happy, it's your business!" If my father is happy, let him scold him, and don't delay me from drinking! ”
The man seemed to be accustomed to Mu Yunche's appearance, and he didn't get angry when he saw this, but looked at Bai Xiaoqi and the three people standing behind Mu Yunche with interest, and said with a smile: "Usually there is only one guard Nie Chuhe by the eldest brother's side, but I don't know when there are two more?" These two look extraordinary, I don't know where the eldest brother invited them? ”
"It's your business!" Mu Yunche glanced at the man and scolded impatiently.
The man was not angry, but turned to look at Bai Xiaoqi and the three of them and said, "I don't know what sect you come from?" ”
"The two of us are reckless, without any sect!" Bai Xiaoqi didn't want people to know that he and Xiaoba were from the Taiqing Sect, and when he came over today, he specially changed into the clothes that ordinary people were wearing.
The dispute between the temples and the sect does not involve the sect, this is Xiao Qi's promise to Yun Ze at that time, and he will inevitably practice it to the end.
Although Bai Xiaoqi's attitude towards him was lukewarm, the man was still not angry, knowing that he would not be treated here, he wanted to leave, but before leaving, he said to Xiaoqi Xiaoba, "In Xiayanbei Wang Mu Yunqing, seeing that the two have an extraordinary bearing, they are not like ordinary Jianghu cloth, if the two Taoist friends are free, they can come to my house to sit." ”
Xiao Qi sneered in his heart, this is a blatant digging of the wall! But he still replied politely: "Thank you for your kindness!" ”
Mu Yunqing glanced at Xiao Qi and Xiaoba meaningfully, and then went back to talk to the others.
After a while, the eunuch who only listened to the herald shouted sharply: "The emperor has arrived!" ”
When they heard this, they all bowed down and bowed.
Xiao Qi raised his eyes and peeked, only to see a middle-aged man who was not angry and arrogant walking in front in a dragon robe, followed by two richly dressed women on both sides.
One of the women wore a phoenix crown and a phoenix robe, graceful and luxurious, and thought it was the queen Yuan. The other is also dressed in palace clothes, with a calm demeanor, a little more charming than the queen between his eyebrows and eyes, and he is much younger, thinking that this is the legendary Zhang Guifei.
Looking back, there were a group of concubines and maids and eunuchs.
Emperor Mu Yunche walked to the back of the main seat, and the eunuch next to him shouted loudly: "Flat!" ”
When everyone heard this, they got up and stood in place, waiting for the emperor's orders.
"Today is to reward the people's families, and the hard work they have paid for the disaster relief in the southern regions of our country during this time, so you don't have to be restrained, just be casual. Let's have a feast! The emperor said loudly, although everyone does not have to be restrained, but in front of the emperor, who will really be the same as in their own home?
After everyone thanked each other in unison, they took their seats. At this time, the palace maids also presented a variety of delicacies and wines.
The palace maids who performed singing and dancing instruments also came up one after another, performing their talents.
From time to time, a few concubines who want to attract the emperor's attention will also take the initiative to perform.
Bai Xiaoqi looked at all kinds of women in the palace, and suddenly realized that she seemed to be very different from them, but she didn't understand what was the difference.
At this moment, I heard a person dressed in a gorgeous costume sitting opposite the prince suddenly spoke up and said respectfully to the emperor: "Father, the son has felt that the eldest emperor's brother is far more talented and has a character than ordinary people, although he likes to drink, but his heart is very pure. This time, the royal brother of the Southern Regions disaster relief also donated half of his family wealth to solve the urgent needs of the Southern Regions, so that now there are not even a few people left in the mansion. ”
Speaking of this, he deliberately glanced at this Mu Yunche, and then continued: "Erchen heard that the imperial brother recently invited two immortals with good skills in the Immortal Gate Sect to teach him Taoism. My father is happy, I don't know what my father thinks? ”
Mu Yunche couldn't help sneering in his heart when he heard this, and scolded secretly: "Okay, you Mu Yunjing, came here to yin me?" ”
"I did donate half of my family property to disaster relief before, not to show it to anyone, but I felt that it was really unbearable to see the homeless people starving everywhere, and I didn't have the financial resources to rival the country, so I could only do my best to help those displaced people."
"Everyone knows that if you want to invite disciples to help you in the Xianmen Great Sect, you must pay the price of huge financial and material resources, and it is difficult for others to invite one, but I invited two at once, and the implication is that half of the family property mentioned in my previous disaster relief is not true."
"Moreover, the royal family has already tabooed that the children and disciples of the sect are involved in the Xianmen, and now that he has invited two people from the sect as his masters, even if he has no intention of rebellion, he will be suspicious of his father because of this. This Mu Yunjing is really a good calculation! ”
Just as he was about to say something, Bai Xiaoqi behind him took a step forward and knelt in front of the emperor.
"Grass people Bai Xiaoqi see the saint, long live my emperor, long live, long live!" Bai Xiaoqi bowed respectfully to Mu Yunzhen.
"Get up, you are the master of the Immortal Sect invited by Che'er?" Mu Yunzhen looked at Bai Xiaoqi who was kneeling on the ground, and said in a deep voice with some displeasure.
"Back to Your Majesty, the prince may have misunderstood, we are just a reckless man, not from the Xianmen, but we are indeed the teacher of His Royal Highness King Yong'an."
"Oh? How so? Mu Yunzhen's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he became interested in Bai Xiaoqi's identity.
"Back to Your Majesty, the two of us are just begging for the rivers and lakes, but no one has been appreciating, we can only live on the street begging for a living, that day to the door of the Yong'an Mansion accidentally fainted from hunger, fortunately, the Yong'an King was benevolent, soup soup and medicine, so that the two of us saved their lives. The two of us have nothing to repay, so we can only make a trick for His Royal Highness King Yong'an. Bai Xiaoqi said that he deliberately secretly observed Mu Yunzhen's expression with his eyes, and saw that he was not abnormal, so he continued.
"When the prince saw that the two of us had become very ingenious, he became interested and wanted to learn from the two of us, so the master said. But the grass people are really ashamed! ”
Mu Yunzhen listened to Bai Xiaoqi's words, thinking in his heart, there were no flaws, but he still didn't believe them, so he said: "Then why did Che'er bring the two of you to the banquet today?" ”
"If you go back to the emperor, His Royal Highness King Yong'an wants us to perform illusions for you!" Bai Xiaoqi's face was not red, and his heart was not beating, and he lied.
On the side, King Yong'an sighed in his heart Bai Xiaoqi's cleverness, but at the same time, he was a little worried about her, he had never heard of any illusions they had, so he could only hope that their performances would not show flaws.
Mu Yunzhen raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and said with a smile: "Okay, then you can perform an illusion for me!" ”
"Yes!" Bai Xiaoqi respectfully agreed, then got up and prepared to perform.
To say that this illusion, that is, the trick in the juggling of the rivers and lakes, has nothing to do with magic or anything at all.
The reason why Bai Xiaoqi knew illusion was because she often went to Jun Xiufeng to play at that time, and often saw Senior Sister Yueli sitting there with a lonely expression and a sad face, so she flipped through the classics and found this illusion, which was often used to make her happy.
Since she learned this craft, the girls of Jun Xiufeng have been fascinated by him, and from time to time they come to beg him to perform for them, and the male disciples often come to him to beg her to teach them.
That's why Xiao Qi only replied today that he was an illusion master.
