75. I want to tell the world
After Tang Xi cleaned up, he only brought Qingshuang with him, and then went to the palace with Yan Ning.
Feng Lie's birthday was ten days later, and they didn't come too early, so they heard that the people from the other two vassal countries had already arrived, and they were also princes, and people from the other two countries would also attend this reception banquet.
In addition, Beiyang, who had been opposed to Fengyuan before, after repairing some time ago, would also send people to come this time, and it was estimated that it would be there in two days, and it would be even more lively at that time.
In the following period, people from all over the world gathered, and it can be said that the dark tide was surging, and we must always be careful to prevent being calculated.
When Tang Xi and Yan Ning arrived, the people of the Yonghe Dynasty and the Shenggu Dynasty had already arrived, Yonghe came to the seventh prince Qi Yufeng, and Shenggu came to the fifth prince Jiang Zizhong, these two people can also be regarded as Tang Xi's acquaintances, and they have also represented their own country several times in the past, Qi Yufeng is a decent person with a gentle temperament, so he doesn't stand out in Yonghe, and Jiang Zizhong's character is a little insidious and cunning, he is simply a-stirring stick who is afraid that the world will not be chaotic, so Tang Xi has the worst impression of him.
Feng Lie hadn't arrived at this time, the two princes sat opposite Tang Xi and Yan Ning, out of courtesy, they nodded to the two from afar, and they said hello, and there was no interaction after that.
It can be seen that the two of them don't think much about them, they are both vassal countries of Feng Yuan, and under Feng Yuan's intentional guidance, they will be more or less unhappy with each other, after all, if the relationship between the vassal countries is too harmonious, it will not be good to join hands against Feng Yuan.
Tang Xi couldn't be more familiar with this place, so after sitting down, he didn't look around curiously, just sat there quietly and waited to see his brother and daughter-in-law.
After a while, Tang Xi felt that a shadow suddenly blocked the light around her, and she subconsciously looked up and saw Huo Jinyan.
Tang Xi was slightly stunned, then greeted him with a faint face, and then turned his head and continued to do his own thing.
It was Yan Ning, seeing that Huo Jinyan seemed very enthusiastic, listening to the friendly conversation between the two, Tang Xi only felt tormented in his heart, can he let Huo Jinyan stay away from her?
However, it backfired, after they finally finished chatting, Huo Jinyan sat down directly beside her, she frowned slightly, this seat was already arranged by the palace people, Huo Jinyan was waiting for the official position to sit under her It was reasonable, but she always felt that it was too much of a coincidence, was Feng Lie deliberately doing it? If it was really him, then it seemed that he still had some doubts about himself.
After Huo Jinyan sat down, Yan Ning saw Huo Jinyan sitting beside Tang Xi, and suddenly felt that they were very close to each other, so the two continued to talk across Tang Xi, of course, most of them were Yan Ning talking, Huo Jinyan only occasionally showed a smile, or nodded, or said a few words, and it was difficult for Yan Ning to speak with interest.
Tang Xi sat between the two, and was really a little speechless at Yan Ning's words, so he glared at him and said angrily, "Third brother likes to talk so much, why don't we change positions and you continue?" Is this enthusiasm because I am afraid that others will not know that you have a good relationship with Master Huo? ”
was embarrassed in public, Yan Ning's face suddenly didn't look good, but because of the many people around, it was not good for people to see the excitement, so no matter how angry he was, he still suppressed his voice and said, "Yan Xi!" No matter how favored you are, you're just a princess who is about to marry into another country, don't go too far! ”
Tang Xi tugged at the corners of his mouth, and said in a strange manner, "The third brother is serious, I just don't want you to cause trouble to Daqian, just remind you one more sentence, if the third brother thinks that what I said is wrong, you can continue, I can make room for you, but you have to think about it, why is Lord Huo's seat next to us?" ”
Yan Ning choked, but couldn't say anything, only glared at her fiercely and then turned her head, but she didn't say a word again.
Although Tang Xi's attitude is not good, her words are reasonable, originally the emperor was dissatisfied with his affection for Huo Jinyan today, but now he let Huo Jinyan sit next to them, could it be that he really suspected that there was something between them and Huo Jinyan, so he deliberately tried it? Thinking of this, no matter how smart Yan Ning is, he also knows that he is afraid, he comes to this trip, not seeking merit but seeking no fault, if Feng Yuan is dissatisfied with Daqian because of him, he is afraid that he will not be able to eat and walk around.
Tang Xi felt the world that had finally quieted down in her ears, and her heart suddenly became happy, and she secretly glanced at Yan Ning, who was preoccupied, and gloated in her heart, thinking that Yan Ning would not dare to get too close to Huo Jinyan anymore.
Thinking that she glanced at Huo Jinyan with a little smugness, hmph, he deliberately walked very close to Yan Ning all the way, didn't he have a chance to get close to her after returning to the capital? This time, she broke Yan Ning's good impression of him with one sentence, and see how he will come to her in the future!
However, her very proud glance had no effect, Huo Jinyan was still unfazed by this, and even had a faint smile on the corner of her mouth, inexplicably, Tang Xi actually saw a trace of ...... Pampered color?
Hell spoiled! Tang Xi immediately sat upright and didn't dare to look at it anymore.
After Huo Jinyan looked at him unabashedly, he sat on pins and needles for a long time, Feng Lie finally arrived, and at the same time, his favorite concubine, Concubine Lan, was also present.
However, to Tang Xi's surprise, this so-called Concubine Lan turned out to be an acquaintance of hers...... She couldn't help but sigh that this world was really too small.
It's just that she really feels a little disappointed, the brother-in-law she has been looking forward to for a long time turned out to be her, is this Feng Lie's eyes broken?
And in addition to her, there are many people's eyes on this Concubine Lan, after all, this woman who made Feng Lie set a precedent, everyone is too curious, this is the first time to appear in front of everyone, it is good to take a closer look.
Feng Lie said to the people around him with a gentle face, "Lan'er, just sit here." ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone's faces were shocked, the position next to the emperor should be reserved for the queen, even if he has not yet established a queen, he should never let others sit here casually, but Feng Lie seemed to think that it should be like this, so that everyone couldn't help muttering in their hearts, Feng Lie raised this woman from the people so much, could it really be that she should be allowed to sit in the back seat?
Concubine Lan looked at everyone's surprised gazes, and showed a little hesitation on her face, "Your Majesty, wouldn't this be bad?" ”
Feng Lie smiled softly, "There's nothing bad about it, I said yes, it's okay." ”
So Concubine Lan also had a hint of blush on her face, and she didn't say more, and sat down next to him with Feng Lie's strength.
After it was done, Feng Lie looked at the people with different faces below, and smiled slightly, "Everyone, what's wrong?" But the food and drinks I entertain don't taste good? ”
Everyone suddenly came back to their senses, praised the good wine and good food, and didn't dare to look at it anymore.
Tang Xi felt a little strange when he saw this, he didn't expect Feng Lie's prestige to be so good? It was obviously said with a smile, but everyone seemed to be very scared.
Huo Jinyan on the side seemed to see her doubts, raised his hand and poured her a glass of wine, and whispered in her ear in the gap between pouring the wine, "Is it strange?" Your brother...... It's never as simple as you think. ”
Tang Xi picked up the wine glass without changing his face and took a sip, "Thank you, Lord Huo." ”
Huo Jinyan had already returned to his original position, and said with a slight smile when he heard this, "The princess is polite, but although the wine is good, don't be greedy, after all, it will be ...... There's probably more to it. ”
Huo Jinyan obviously had something to say, Tang Xi didn't speak, but he was faintly worried in his heart, looking at Fu Jinglan who was sitting next to Feng Lie, for some reason, he always felt that something was wrong.
Above Feng Lie was talking to the prince of the Three Kingdoms, Concubine Lan sat beside him with a smile, and occasionally Feng Lie would pick up a grape and feed it to her, looking very affectionate.
Originally, the scene was quite enjoyable, but suddenly an official stood up, looking a little drunk, and said to the top with drunken eyes, "The lower official saw Concubine Lan for the first time today, but somehow, I felt that Concubine Lan was a little familiar?" ”
These words were a little frivolous, and everyone was immediately silent when they heard this, and the person next to the official also hurriedly pulled him and apologized to the emperor, "Your Majesty forgives me, he drank a little too much, and the lower official will send him down to rest!" ”
However, for the relief of the person next to him, the man didn't appreciate it, and only flicked his sleeves and broke away from the man's hand, "Your Majesty, the lower official is not drunk, the lower official really thinks that Lan Guiren is a little familiar......"
Concubine Lan's face was a little bad, she pursed her lips and said, "My lord, I'm afraid I'm mistaken, this palace has never seen you." ”
However, the man still did not let go, "No, let me think about it......"
Feng Lie never spoke, looking at this farce with a faint eyebrow, the emperor didn't speak, and the people next to him didn't say much, especially the envoys of the three kingdoms, they were all happy to watch the excitement.
So in the eyes of everyone, the man suddenly clapped his hands, "That's right! Xia Guan remembered, haha...... It's Concubine Lan's dress that looks a little familiar, isn't this what the first emperor once wore? ”
As soon as these words came out, all eyes were focused on Concubine Lan's body again, and then there was a deathly silence, no one dared to speak, for fear that if she spoke out at this time, she would be burned.
But the person who said that just now didn't know it, and laughed there, "Your Majesty, look, the lower officials said that they weren't drunk, right?" ”
Everyone's hearts were in their throats, for fear that someone's head would fall to the ground in the next second, but Feng Lie smiled lightly, turned his head to the nervous Concubine Lan and said, "Really? No wonder I feel a little familiar...... Aifei stood up and let me see? ”
Concubine Lan's face turned pale suddenly, and she immediately knelt on the ground and said in fear, "The emperor forgives the sin, but the concubine doesn't know...... This dress was brought over by the palace people, and the concubines didn't know that it was a relic of the first emperor, Your Majesty! ”
Feng Lie's face was still gentle, "What is Concubine Ai afraid of, I don't blame you." After speaking, he raised his hand and pulled Concubine Lan up.
"My sister's clothes are very suitable for Concubine Ai...... It's just that this is a relic of my sister after all. With a light smile on his face, he said lightly, "This palace man who took the wrong clothes, just behead it." ”
Seeing Feng Lie so indifferently reveal this matter, everyone had a trace of disbelief on their faces, and then some ministers looked at Concubine Lan thoughtfully for a long time, and then their faces changed suddenly, and they immediately lowered their heads and didn't dare to look at it again, if they looked closely, their hands were faintly trembling.
Gradually, the atmosphere in this hall became more and more weird, especially Feng Lie did not immediately let Concubine Lan change the clothes on her body, but still pulled the pale Concubine Lan to talk enthusiastically, such a move, even the princes of the three kingdoms began to feel weird.
And at this time, if you want to say that she is the most uncomfortable in her heart, it is naturally Tang Xi, she said why she felt strange at the beginning, and she realized that what Concubine Lan was wearing was indeed her clothes, and she didn't like all the dragons and phoenixes on her clothes, so there were many casual clothes on weekdays, and this one was one of them.
Originally, when she first found out, she didn't think it was too strange, because it was obvious that someone was deliberately framing Concubine Lan, Concubine Lan is now too popular, and too many people want to get rid of her, so it is not unusual to frame her, but what surprised her afterwards was Feng Lie's attitude......
Whether it was before or after her death, Feng Lie's attitude towards her had always been respectful, and now that his relics had been worn out, he didn't even get angry, and he didn't even have the slightest anger from beginning to end, did he really love Concubine Nalan too much?
But it's still not right, with Tang Xi's understanding of him, even if he dotes on Concubine Nalan, he must be a little angry, but he is too calm from beginning to end, and the calm makes her feel ...... He knew about it at all.
But why? She couldn't think of a reason for him to do it! and the increasingly frightened expressions of the ministers, all of which made her feel confused.
I don't know when, Huo Jinyan approached slightly, "Do you think it's strange?" ”
Tang Xi was stunned for a moment, turned his head to look at him, the corners of his mouth faintly carried a hint of mockery, and said in a low voice, "This play is still good?" ”
Tang Xi suddenly stepped back vigilantly, "What do you mean?" ”
The corners of Huo Jinyan's mouth curled even more, "If you don't understand, it's better to take a closer look at Concubine Lan's face." ”
Tang Xi frowned, "What's so nice about the face?" She is Fu Jinglan, we have all been in contact, is there anything special? "That's right, this Concubine Lan is the Fu Jinglan who was tied to Eagle's Beak Mountain with her, this world is really small.
Huo Jinyan shook his head slightly when he heard this, and then looked at Feng Lie from afar, with a sarcastic smile on the corner of his mouth, "Don't you think, who does she look a little like?" Her eyes ...... And her demeanor. ”
Tang Xi subconsciously turned his head to look at Concubine Lan, watching Feng Lie feeding her grapes, and watching her smiling eyebrows and eyes...... Her eyes widened suddenly, she looked at Huo Jinyan in disbelief, and said dumbly, "You mean she ......?"
Seeing her expression of surprise and disbelief, he actually looked very happy, hooked the corners of his lips, and then nodded to her, "It's very similar, isn't it?" ”
After receiving an affirmative answer, Tang Xi muttered distractedly, "How could it be ......" and then looked up at him without giving up, "But if it really looks like it, how could you not see it at the beginning?" ”
Huo Jinyan took a sip of wine and looked at Concubine Lan's gaze with disdain, "Because at that time, she hadn't deliberately imitated ......."
After he finished speaking, Tang Xi couldn't help but look up again, the fruit she used to eat the most was also grapes, and her eyes did look like herself when she smiled.
People are always like this, if they are not reminded by others, they can't see the similarity between others and themselves, but if someone says it, she looks closely, and it is not difficult to see it......
With such a thought in her heart, looking at Feng Lie's intimacy with Concubine Lan at this time, she only felt extremely awkward, why did Feng Lie do this? At this time, her mind was in chaos, and she had no clue at all, she only felt that the relationship between her sister and brother in the past twenty years had been completely overturned at this moment, and the emotions surging in her heart almost drowned her!
Huo Jinyan looked at Tang Xi's face and expressions changed, and finally it was as if he had been hit hard, his face was pale, and his hands supporting the table seemed to be trembling.
An unbearable look finally flashed in his eyes, Tang Xi said that he wanted to take revenge on Feng Lie, he didn't believe it at all, so he guessed in his heart that maybe she was aware of Daqian's ambitions, so she wanted to come back to help Feng Lie.
Even though she knew that if this was really the purpose, she was only for their sister-brother relationship, but she still felt angry, why should Feng Lie be there? His father ruined Feng Xi's life, could it be that now that she is alive again, Tang Xi's life will also be ruined by Feng Lie? Just for such a person who covets the eldest sister? Is she really worth it?
So knowing Feng Lie's actions tonight, he didn't stop it, he just wanted Tang Xi to see with his own eyes what kind of dirty thoughts this person who was regarded as her own brother had for her!
However, when it really came to this time, he couldn't help but feel distressed...... The anger in his heart, when he saw Tang Xi's dejected state, seemed to disappear in an instant, in the end...... I still can't be ruthless with her.
He closed his eyes, then turned his head to Qingshuang, who was waiting not far behind him, and said, "Your princess seems to be feeling a little unwell. ”
Qingshuang was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly stepped forward, "What's wrong with the princess?" ”
I didn't think it was behind her before, but as soon as she came over, she suddenly found that Tang Xi's face was very bad, so she hurriedly looked at Yan Ning on the other side, "Third prince, the princess doesn't seem to be very comfortable!" ”
Yan Ning had been thinking about why the state of the people on the field was not quite right at this time, so she had not noticed the situation on Tang Xi's side, and when she heard Qingshuang, she found that something was wrong with Tang Xi, seeing that she not only had an ugly face, but also looked like she was not giving up, and she was also worried that something would happen if she continued to persevere, so she hurriedly said to Feng Lie, "Your Majesty, the sister seems to be a little unwell, can you leave first?" ”
When Feng Lie heard this, he looked at it from afar, and saw that Tang Xi's face was indeed not very good, so he nodded and said, "My body is important, I will immediately send a imperial doctor over, and the third prince can rest assured." ”
Yan Ning nodded, "Thank you, Your Majesty." ”
After speaking, Qingshuang helped Tang Xi to get up, the moment Tang Xi turned around, he suddenly raised his eyes and looked at Feng Lie, Feng Lie's gaze had not yet retracted, and he was directly opposed, and then he was stunned for an instant, in those eyes, it seemed to be full of all kinds of complex emotions, and there was a hint of familiarity, just like the look in his sister's eyes when he was disappointed in him every time he did something wrong......
However, the gaze was fleeting, and when he looked again, the man was left with only his back.
"What's wrong with the emperor?" Seeing that Feng Lie's expression seemed to be a little wrong, Concubine Lan immediately asked with some concern.
Feng Lie came back to his senses and smiled at Concubine Lan, "I'm fine." ”
It's probably just that he's too sensitive today, so he's wrong, if his sister is still there, knowing what he did today, he will definitely look at her with such a disappointed gaze, right? But knowing this, he still has to do it, because he wants to tell the world who lives in his heart.
This dress was indeed taken to Fu Jinglan to wear at his behest, and the drunken minister also said these words at his behest, his purpose was to let everyone see whose shadow this favored Concubine Lan was carrying.
He knew it was crazy, but he really couldn't forget his sister, when did he start to have a different affection for her? He didn't seem to be able to speak, but in short, since he was ten years old, he clearly knew that this woman who cared for him very much had no blood relationship with him, so those who were kind to him seemed to be gradually misinterpreted by him into another meaning......
But the more he grew up, the more he understood that Feng Xi never had the slightest affection for men and women towards him, and she always looked at him with the eyes of her younger brother.
So he didn't dare to let her know his mind, and he also thought that it would be good to continue to be her brother like this.
His temperament has never been very gentle, even a little obedient, the kind that will never blink when he kills people, but Feng Xi doesn't like him like that, so he portrays himself as a well-behaved little sheep, because he wants to be the most perfect brother in her heart.
Can it be ...... She died, in a fire for which he was unprepared, and from that day on, every time he slept, he dreamed of the fire engulfing her, and as the days went by, his temperament seemed to become more and more cloudy.
He thought that after a long time, he might forget about her, but the more time passed, the more the feelings in his heart became more and more profound, and he could no longer fall in love with others.
He loves her so much, but he doesn't even have the courage to say it, as an emperor, how can he, tell the world such a dirty heart? Then how should his Fengyuan's country be turbulent? That's the world that his sister laid for him, and he can't.
Until Fu Jinglan appeared, he suddenly had an idea, that is, to borrow her hand, he could pass on this feeling to everyone without saying much, and everyone couldn't say it.
So knowing that Fu Jinglan was wrong, he still kept her by his side, and then pampered her in every possible way, just to let everyone see who the person living in his heart was.
What's so good about an emperor? Even saying a word of love has to be so roundabout.
Feng Lie looked at Fu Jinglan and suddenly laughed lightly, how ridiculous, the strong love in his heart could only be shown to a malicious stand-in from now on.
Sister, do you blame me? But I really don't want to stand in the shadows anymore, I want to tell the world that you are mine, and you can only be mine.
