Chapter 47: A Good Show 1
"Your Highness, your subordinates still have to check the invitations one by one, Your Highness, you can go in first."
The guard's words brought back Murong Chen's thoughts, he turned around, remembering that he would have to go to the prince later, and he didn't care about Su Yexi's disrespect for him, so without saying a word, he quickly entered the palace.
As soon as Murong Chen entered with his front foot, it was Su Yexi's turn, checked the invitation, and entered the palace.
According to the rules of the palace, people who go to participate in the Hundred Flowers Banquet can first go to the Imperial Garden to watch the flowers, and then the queen will summon the royal relatives and noble family members one by one, and then the lady and the daughter of the family, often until the time of the unitary before the banquet can be held.
At this moment, those noble ladies and daughters must be in the Imperial Garden, Su Yexi sighed heavily, she didn't want to deal with those people, so she planned to find a small place to hide.
In the glazed octagonal pavilion, she leaned on the railing, looking at the lotus leaves in the pool, like a small green umbrella open, floating lightly on the water, her beautiful and dusty face was like a lotus petal blooming in midsummer, and her smile was amazing to the extreme. She looked at her reflection in the lake, the ripples of her eyes still lingering.
This pavilion in the palace was inadvertently found in her previous life, this octagonal pavilion was built for many years, in disrepair, the skin on the pavilion has fallen off, under normal circumstances, no one will come here, fortunately, there is a small pool here, the blue waves are rippling, there are lotus flowers planted in it, in the previous life, she will come here every time she is sad and sad, stay all day, and the mood will change.
Before I knew it, I was hiding here for half an afternoon. Just as he was about to stand up, he suddenly heard an anxious woman's voice, Su Yexi frowned, there would be other people coming here, if he went out now, he would definitely bump into him.
She looked around, there was just a rockery next to the octagonal pavilion, listening to the sound getting closer and closer, she hid in the rockery without thinking, only to hear the voices of a man and a woman.
"Five princes, five princes, you wait for me, I still have something to say to you."
"This young lady, please respect yourself, we lonely men and widows are talking here, if people see it, I am afraid it will damage the innocence of the young lady."
The man's tone was extremely light, and his voice was as cold as ice and snow on the Tianshan Mountain.
The Five Princes?
Su Yexi couldn't help but be curious, in the last life, after she married Murong Chen, she had only met the five princes a few times, and she was the fifth son of the saint today, and she was also the most beloved son of the saint, the son of the adoptive mother and concubine,
His biological mother is the late Chen Guifei, it is rumored that Chen Guifei has the beauty of the country and the city, when she is reincarnated, she has favored the six palaces, and even the current queen can not be compared, as a result, Chen Guifei died because of dystocia when she gave birth to the five princes, and the saint was heartbroken for this, she loved the house and Wu, and was very fond of the five princes, because the five princes were young, and the virtuous concubine was the sister of the five princes, and she was the aunt of the five princes, so the emperor handed over the five princes to the virtuous concubine to raise.
In the previous life, Murong Chen was ruthless, cruel and ruthless, after ascending to the emperor, he killed his brother and killed his brother, and used various reasons to eradicate several princes who were competing with him for the throne at that time, but did not hurt the fifth prince Murong Yi.
It is said that it was because the five princes were idle and wild, did not ask about the world, and when Murong Chen and other princes competed for the throne, he was still out touring the mountains and rivers, at that time, after Murong Chen ascended to the emperor, he knew that he had killed countless people and the sins were too deep, so he let the five princes have a way to live, but he was suspicious, in order to prevent future troubles, he transferred the five princes to Jiangnan, made him a prince, and only allowed him to return to the palace during the festival.
Su Yexi poked out her head, only to see a man and a woman standing together, the woman was wearing a pink dress, about sixteen or seventeen years old, beautiful and moving,
Su Yexi couldn't help but be slightly surprised when she saw the woman's appearance, it was Li Yuting's sister, Li Yuqi, in the last life, although she was friendly with Li Yuting, she had only met Li Yuqi a few times, and there was no deep contact, according to Li Yuting, she has always been the only daughter in the family except for a younger brother who has a mother, and Li Houye only married her mother alone, and did not accept other concubines.
And Li Yuqi appeared shortly after she moved to Zhentangjiang, and at that time, she learned that her father Li Shiming had a daughter with another woman before marrying her mother, and that daughter was her current sister Li Yuqi.
Su Yexi was thinking about it, and the conversation between the two pulled her thoughts back.
"The fifth prince, the courtiers know, but the courtiers really have something to say to you, and it's not too late to leave after you listen."
The tone was anxious and expectant.
Because Murong Yi had his back to her, Su Yexi couldn't see his appearance clearly, and only heard his voice as cold as ice and snow.
"Speak up if you have something to say!"
Li Yuqi looked happy, rubbed the handkerchief nervously in her hand, seemed to have great courage, and said: "The five princes, the courtiers, the courtiers like you, since you saved the courtiers once a year ago, the courtiers have been thinking about you, this time the palace has a hundred flowers banquet, the courtiers are here for the five princes, I don't know the five princes, to the courtiers, to the courtiers, to the courtiers......"
Hearing this, Su Yexi, who was hiding on the side, was shocked, it turned out that Li Yuqi was thinking about Murong Yi, and before she had time to think about it, she heard Murong Yi's voice.
Murong Yi glanced at Li Yuqi, there was no fluctuation in his heart, a trace of disgust crossed his eyes, and he said coldly: "What kind of life-saving grace you are talking about, this prince doesn't remember anymore, your name is Li Yuqi, right?"
"Well, the courtier's daughter is the daughter of Li Shiming and Li Houye."
Hearing that Murong Yi called her maiden name, Li Yuqi's face was full of joy, thinking that Murong Yi also had affection for her, and when she was dreaming, she was ridiculed by his next words.
Murong Yi raised his eyebrows and said lightly: "Master Li, this prince knows, but isn't his daughter named Li Yuting, she is only thirteen or fourteen years old this year, and you look at least sixteen or seventeen years old."
Li Yuqi's face stiffened, and said: "Fifth prince, Yuting is my sister, and I am also my father's daughter, but when I was a child, my mother and I were separated from my father, and I have only been found in recent years."
Murong Yi sneered mockingly, his eyebrows and eyes were full of coldness, and the words he said were sharp and ruthless: "Oh." It turned out to be the illegitimate daughter of Hou Ye Li outside, an illegitimate daughter, do you think you are worthy of me? Look at your appearance, your demeanor is frivolous, you don't have the style of a lady, you actually tell your love to other men in private, you and your sister are far worse, this prince tells you, this prince will not like a woman like you, if your sister maybe I will still consider it, so, please don't appear in front of me in the future, seeing your appearance, it's just dirty my eyes! ”
Li Yuqi's tears of humiliation fell, she tightly tugged on Murong Yi's sleeve, and said sadly: "Fifth prince, the courtiers really like you, besides, I am also my father's daughter, I think I am no worse than my sister, in terms of beauty, I am equal to her, in terms of talent, she will do too, why don't you like me?"
Murong Yi's face was instantly gloomy, very disgusted with her touch, he shook it suddenly, a gravity, Li Yuqi sat directly on the ground, anger gradually rose in his eyes, and he sneered: "I have already said this kind of thing, you are still pestering me, so shameless, how can you compare with your sister based on this!"
As the words fell, he turned and was about to leave.
Li Yuqi sat slumped on the ground, her face was red and white, like a palette, she clenched the silk handkerchief in her hand, and the hatred in her heart deepened little by little.
Li Yuting, Li Yuting! will always be like this, although she tried every means to get rid of her previous poor life, the identity of the poor, and became the daughter of the Hou Ye that everyone envies, but in the eyes of outsiders, what if she has such a noble identity, she will never be able to compare to her beautiful and generous sister! No one looks up to her, in everyone's hearts, only Li Yuting, her good sister is worthy of being a relative of the emperor!
Li Yuqi already had a deep resentment towards her sister in her heart, and she finally mustered up the courage to confess to the five princes, but as a result, the five princes opened and closed their mouths to be her sister, and her anger and jealousy burned her only remaining sanity.
She looked at the lotus pond, a trick came out of nowhere, looked at his departing back, and threatened: "Fifth prince, if you leave like this today, I will jump down and die for you!"
Murong Yi's footsteps still didn't stop, and sneered: "Okay, if you have the ability, you can jump down!"
Li Yuqi stood up and stared at his back, her beautiful eyes flashed with a hint of ruthlessness, okay, Fifth Prince, even if you don't like me, then I will marry you, I will never let you be with that slut, and I will never let you be a pair!
"Plop!"
Su Yexi, who was hiding in the rockery, was watching the show with relish, but when she saw Li Yuqi jumping directly into the lotus pond, she was startled, her mouth moved, and she was about to shout for help, but she quickly recalled some things in her previous life in her mind, and did not shout, if her analysis was correct, Murong Yi would definitely save her later!
Sure enough, Murong Yi heard the voice and turned his head suddenly, only to see Li Yuqi constantly fluttering on the water, shouting for help.
"Damn! How did she really jump! ”
Murong Yi looked at her in disgust and cursed.
After a while, the young ladies and ladies in this neighborhood were all led here, and saw that someone fell into the water, one by one without fluctuation, one of them, a lady who was about thirty years old, said unexpectedly: "Isn't it that someone fell into the water, I think it must be a palace maid who accidentally fell, hurry up and find someone with water to rescue her, in a little later, I think this person is really not good."
Li Yuqi kept plopping in the water, in fact, she knew how to be watery, but she deliberately dived, just to let the five princes save her, although it is now May, but the water is cold and biting, and there is an unpleasant fishy smell, she has just drunk a lot in order to shout for help, if she doesn't save her, she really can't do it!
Su Yexi looked at this scene, the corners of her mouth rose slightly, Li Yuqi, since you want to play, then I will help you!
"Isn't that the daughter of Marquis Li, Li Yuqi?"
I don't know who shouted, but when everyone heard it, they immediately turned pale with fright, messed up, and kept shouting for help, the scene was noisy and chaotic.
Who is this Marquis Li, but the founding father, who holds great power in his hands, is the emperor's most trusted minister, if something happens to her daughter, let him know that they will not be saved in death, then he must not settle accounts with them!
Every move and every word of these ladies fell into Su Yexi's eyes, she sneered, there was a sarcastic smile in her eyes, all of them were people who tended to be inflammatory, human life was worthless in their eyes, as soon as they knew that it was Li Yuqi who fell into the water, they became nervous and worried, worried about Li Yuqi's life?
No, it's their own lives!
After a while, the originally noisy sound disappeared with the fluttering figure.
Purple clothes fluttering, rippling with brilliance, ink hair flying, handsome like jade, he is like a noble god descending from the nine heavens.
The cloud boots were light, rippling in circles, he stood on the lotus pond water as if walking on the ground, elegantly bowed, wide sleeves brushed from the water, boom, Li Yuqi was like a chicken, he was carried out of the water, splashing a large splash, but not a drop fell on his body, and then, he flew back to the shore.
"Ahem......"
Li Yuqi coughed as soon as she came ashore, and she had just drunk too much water in the lotus pond, which only made her feel fishy and smelly, and she just wanted to vomit it all, and her whole body was soaked and embarrassed.
"Hey, the five princes, it's the five princes......"
After a moment of silence, the sound of gasping sounded, and the girls in the glass pavilion were like deer, and their eyes did not blink, as if their eyeballs were glued to the man in the dazzling purple robe.
