Chapter 157: The Palace Night Banquet

Bai Xiaoqi looked at Mu Yunche and smiled, "Brother, you deceived me so hard!" ”

Mu Yunche's face stiffened, knowing that what Xiao Qi said was that he knew that she was Xuanyuan's daughter, his own cousin, not only did not tell her, but also kept using her, causing her to almost die.

So he smiled awkwardly: "So many years have passed, you still remember it......"

At this moment, the concubine stood up, looking at Bai Xiaoqi, a trace of unhappiness flashed in her eyes, but she still smiled and said, "Your Majesty, this is ......"

Mu Yunche looked at the concubine and introduced with a smile: "This is my cousin, you can call her Yu'er." ”

Then he introduced to Bai Xiaoqi: "This is Concubine Liu, the daughter of Liu Lin, the servant of the Criminal Department. ”

Xiao Qi looked at her and nodded lightly, and didn't say anything more.

At this time, I only heard Mu Yunche say to Concubine Liu: "You go down first, I want to catch up with Yu'er." ”

Although Concubine Liu was reluctant in her heart, her face was dignified and graceful, and she nodded with a smile and retreated.

After Concubine Liu left, Mu Yunche ordered someone to bring a chair to Xiao Qi, and then frowned and asked: "Where have you been in the past ten years, why have I almost turned over the Nine Domains, and there is no news from you, how have you spent the past ten years?" Why don't you come and see me? ”

Hearing Mu Yunche say this, Xiao Qi's heart warmed, and then his face darkened when he thought of the hellish life in the past ten years, but he didn't want Mu Yunche to worry, so he put on a relaxed and casual smile, and said with a smile: "Well, I killed many traitors back then, slaughtered some immortal sects, and felt very boring when I killed them, so I disappeared and went away!" ”

How could Mu Yunche not see that she was lying, but since Xiao Qi didn't want to say it, he didn't want to ask any more, so he just said, "Have you seen Shen Yunchu since you came back?" ”

Xiao Qi leaned lazily on the chair and played with the glass cup in his hand, "I've seen it, it's more annoying than before!" ”

After speaking, Xiao Qi squinted at Mu Yunche, saw that he seemed to be relieved, and just wanted to say something, but heard the eunuch outside the door say: "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Sixth Prince of Xiliang Kingdom asks to see him." ”

Mu Yunche looked up at Bai Xiaoqi, and just wanted to ask her if she wanted to stay, but found that she had disappeared into the house.

Mu Yunche shook his head helplessly, and said to the eunuch, "Xuan." ”

After a while, Zhong Chuxiao walked in, and after saluting Mu Yunche slightly, his eyes fell on the chair that Xiao Qi had just sat on, looking at the tea and cigarettes curling in the cup, and said with some embarrassment: "I didn't know that Your Majesty was meeting guests, Chu Xiao bothered, I'm really sorry." ”

Mu Yunche waved his hand, ordered someone to change Zhong Chuxiao into a new tea set, and then said, "It's okay, it's just that my concubine came over to send some refreshments, she was already gone before you came." ”

Zhong Chuxiao smiled, and then sat on the chair and chatted with Mu Yunche.

"I have long heard that the country of Yehe is rich and the people are strong, and the night does not close the door, and the merchants are prosperous, accumulating the wealth of the world. Recently, when I saw it, it really deserved its reputation, and His Majesty really made Chu Xiao admire! ”

Mu Yunche's face did not change, and he said with a smile: "King Xiao has a good reputation, I heard that the national strength of the Xiliang Kingdom is also very strong, and it can be the first of the ten countries. ”

Zhong Chuxiao smiled when he heard this: "Haha...... The head of the Ten Nations is ashamed to be the one. It's a little ashamed to say that this king came this time with his father's entrustment. ”

Mu Yunche raised his eyebrows slightly, and asked with a smile: "What is the entrustment that makes King Chu so embarrassed?" ”

Zhong Chuxiao's face turned red, and then he smiled: "It's also a shame to say that this king is seventy-seven out of twenty this year, but he has never been married, and this time I came to my father to ask His Majesty to find a lover for me." ”

Mu Yunche was very surprised after hearing this, it stands to reason that although this Zhong Chuxiao is not the most favored in Xiliang Kingdom, he can be regarded as the right-hand man of King Xiliang, holding an army of millions, and his military achievements are impressive, women who want to marry him should abound, and the girls of Wang Sunguiqi's family should also be at his disposal, how can he not have a daughter-in-law until now?

Zhong Chuxiao seemed to see Mu Yunche's thoughts, and then smiled, "I'm not afraid of Your Majesty's jokes when I say it, I've been stationed at the border and rarely returned to Beijing all these years, and I've been with a group of men all year round, and I've missed a lot of marriages, and now the school-age girls in the imperial city who are right with me are basically married, and I can't look down on the rest, so I ......"

Mu Yunche nodded and comforted: "King Chu doesn't have to worry, all officials will also bring their families to the banquet during the night banquet tonight, and if the King of Chu has a favorite, I can make the decision for you!" ”

Zhong Chuxiao nodded, "Then there will be Your Majesty Lao!" ”

Bai Xiaoqi wandered around the palace after leaving the imperial study, and he didn't come back for many years, but there were a lot more concubines in the palace, in order to avoid unnecessary trouble, Xiao Qi deliberately avoided these people.

found a sunny roof, Xiao Qi lay on it casually, drinking wine while basking in the sun, feeling so comfortable, unconsciously asleep.

She was awakened by a loud noise, and saw a large number of palace maids standing below, pointing at her, saying "assassin" or something. Feeling that there were several breaths approaching behind her, Xiao Qi didn't need to look back to know that someone had come to arrest her, so she shook her head helplessly, and disappeared in place in an instant, leaving only a group of stunned palace people.

Soon someone reported the news to Mu Yunche, and after hearing the description of the visitor, Mu Yunche shook his head helplessly: "That person was invited by me, be sure to treat him politely, even if you kill someone in the palace, you just have to collect the body, and don't pay attention to the rest." ”

The guard was shocked when he heard this, he didn't know where this person came from, and he let the emperor protect him here, and he could kill people in the palace? Although he was suspicious in his heart, he still took the order to retreat.

At the same time, Shen Yunchu also rushed to the palace alone, and was sitting in a corner of the main hall drinking wine at this time, thinking about how to let Xiao Qi dissipate his anger and go back with himself.

Bai Xiaoqi sensed the direction of the banquet, and then walked over there, fortunately, the palace was brightly lit, and he had the candle yin eye given by Shen Yunchu, so he was not so afraid along the way.

Finally walked to the place where the banquet was held, and at this time, the night banquet was not opened, and many people gathered here in groups to chat. Xiao Qi didn't pay attention to it, and walked straight towards the main hall, just because it was a little brighter there.

As soon as Xiao Qi entered the hall, Shen Yunchu saw her, and was about to step forward, but saw that a person had already appeared in front of Xiao Qi, and immediately sat there with a gloomy face, thinking that Xiao Qi would ignore him, but he didn't expect that person to talk to Xiao Qi.

Zhong Chuxiao didn't expect to see Bai Xiaoqi here, and he was overjoyed, and hurriedly stepped forward to say hello: "Little Seventh girl, are you here too?" ”

Listening to the familiar voice, Xiao Qi turned around, but saw that it was Zhong Chuxiao, she didn't like this person, but she didn't hate it either, so she responded with a smile: "Yes, this palace is very boring, so it's more lively here." ”

Zhong Chuxiao secretly thought in his heart, the relationship between Bai Xiaoqi and Mu Yunche must be extraordinary, otherwise, why hasn't she heard any news about assassins since she entered the palace, although she didn't bring an attendant, she was able to walk around the palace without being blocked, and now she can appear calmly in this hall, the reason for this must be in addition to her amazing exercises, and her unknown identity.

Thinking of this, Zhong Chuxiao was even more curious about Xiao Qi's identity, and said to her with a smile: "My seat is next to me, if Xiao Qi girl doesn't dislike it, would you like to sit with me?" ”

Before Xiao Qi could answer, a grinning voice sounded beside the two of them: "I see that this girl's footwork is light and her aura is compelling, she must have learned from immortals outside the world, and her Taoism is profound, I don't know if you can look at the palm of my hand for me and calculate my luck?" ”

Listening to this familiar voice, Xiao Qi secretly pursed his lips, he didn't need to look to know that it was Shen Yunchu's poor guy who came, and said in his heart that since he wanted to pretend, then he would play with him.

So he turned around with a smile and said: "Childe has good eyesight, and he must be an expert, but my palmistry is very expensive, I don't know if Childe can afford it?" ”

Shen Yunchu said indifferently: "Although the girl offers the price, as long as Shen has it, there is no ambiguity." ”

Zhong Chuxiao didn't expect that someone would rob him, but after all, he didn't know the identity of the person who came, so he didn't have a good seizure, so he just asked: "This son is dignified, handsome, I don't know where the son is?" ”

Shen Yunchu glanced at him, then looked at Bai Xiaoqi and replied meaningfully: "I am just an entourage, chasing my master." ”

After learning that Shen Yunchu was just an entourage, Zhong Chuxiao's sense of superiority suddenly arose, and he was not polite, took a step forward, intentionally or unintentionally blocked between the two, and said to Bai Xiaoqi: "I don't know if Miss Xiaoqi is also proficient in the art of life, I don't know if I have the honor to ask the girl to take a look for me." ”

Xiao Qi turned his head to Zhong Chuxiao and said, "Yes, it depends on which of you has the starting price!" ”

Zhong Chuxiao hurriedly said: "Little Seventh Girl, please make a price!" ”

Xiao Qiwan smiled, looking at Shen Yunchu's eyes with a bit of banter: "I want you to exchange your life!" ”

As he spoke, the Moyun Sword suddenly fell into his hand, and he gently threw it three inches into the ground, and the cold light on the sword flickered, directly hitting people's hearts.

That Zhong Chuxiao was stunned when he heard this, and felt that Xiao Qi's words were not good, and he seemed to have some grudge against Shen Yunchu, and he was very displeased with him, knowing that his opportunity had come, but if he really pulled out his sword, did he really want to stab himself a few times, although he had been on the battlefield for more than ten years and had suffered countless injuries, but if he was really allowed to stab himself in this situation, he would also hesitate.

In a moment when he was stunned, the sword had already been pulled out by Shen Yunchu, and at this time, someone had already noticed the movement here and stepped forward to watch.

Seeing Shen Yunchu staring at Bai Xiaoqi with heavy eyes, he swung his sword and slashed at his neck without thinking about it.

Just when everyone was stunned, one hand held Shen Yunchu's wrist, only to hear Xiao Qi smile and say, "Okay, I'll show you ......"

Shen Yunchu listened, his eyes had already turned into a crescent moon with a smile, he obediently put away his sword, stretched out his hand and put it in front of Xiao Qi, like a child begging for candy.

Xiao Qi gently held Shen Yunchu's hand, looked down seriously for a long time, and just when everyone thought that she would say something strange, they saw her smile brightly: "I'm sorry, I won't look at ......"

I was about to withdraw my hand back, but I didn't expect to be held by Shen Yunchu's backhand, only to hear him say softly: "It's okay, I'm serious!" ”

As he spoke, Shen Yunchu opened his palm and put it in front of Xiao Qi, and pointed to his palm print with the other hand and said, "Look, look, in my heart, it's all you!" ”

Xiao Qi was chilled by what he said, and he shook off his hand and was about to leave, but he didn't think about it, and was dragged back by Shen Yunchu and hugged her in his arms.

Zhong Chuxiao, who was on the side, had already guessed the relationship between the two at this time, and stood there with an embarrassed face and wanted to leave, but he didn't expect Shen Yunchu to say to him: "Where is the son, Shen still wants to ask the son to witness!" ”

Zhong Chuxiao subconsciously turned around and asked, "What?" ”

saw Shen Yunchu pinching Bai Xiaoqi's chin and kissed it affectionately, causing everyone next to him to exclaim, and secretly scolded in his heart for "being immoral".

This kiss was gentle and delicate, and Xiao Qi somehow didn't refuse.

Then Shen Yunchu turned his head to Zhong Chuxiao and said with a smile: "If Gongzi covets Shen's woman again in the future, no matter what your identity is, I will definitely make your life worse than death!" ”

Although Shen Yunchu smiled brightly, Zhong Chuxiao still shivered subconsciously and unconsciously took two steps back.
