Chapter 37: The Prince's Night Banquet (2)

Zhou Li stipulated that after the age of eight, a woman could no longer eat with a man. Therefore, I had to kneel behind a light gauze screen with the other nobles. There was a lot of food on the small table in front of me, and I poured myself a glass of sake, and drank it all in one gulp, my mouth was hot, and my body gradually warmed up.

"Noble girl, this is the 'Cannon Dolphin' presented by the prince's slave, which is the most suitable for this Bixiao wine!" It was a little slave girl my age, who was kneeling beside me with a small plate of pork meat in her hands.

Gundolphin?

I have heard the big head master in the house talk about it before, saying that this cannon dolphin is the first of the eight treasures, the cooking process is extremely complicated, you need to wash and peel the piglet first, fill the belly with dates, and then apply wet mud on the outside to roast and dry, take out and paste the whole body of the pig with rice flour, fry it thoroughly, and then put the small ding in the big wok and steam it for three days and three nights, take it out and adjust it to the meat sauce. The beauty of its taste is unforgettable.

The big head master was full of excitement when he talked about this cannon dolphin, but I only felt extremely ironic at that time, because there was a famine that year, and there was starvation outside Yongcheng, and people would starve to death every day, but the luxury enjoyment of the nobles in the city never stopped.

"Lady?" The little slave girl's voice pulled my thoughts back, and I smiled at her and reached out to take it.

At this moment, the prince is holding a wine bottle and reclining in Lan Ji's arms, the banquet is full of delicious wine and food, the colorful sleeves are flying during the banquet, the guests are all indulging in pleasure, but my heart has been hanging in my throat.

Will Yao Nu come tonight? Does Prince Sage die? If he dies, what happens next?

After three rounds of drinking, Lan Ji led a group of beauties to dance for the banquet. When the lights flickered, her charming dancing became more and more dazzling, and her gestures were a little more #naked teasing than the ethereal jump in the workshop that day.

For a while, everyone at the banquet was fascinated, and those guests who were blushing couldn't even bear the heat in their hearts and teased the maidservants around them. Doctor Lou, who was sitting at the bottom of the house, even put his hand directly into the collar of the little maid and played with it wantonly. The girl was reluctant, but she still had a smile on her face and poured him wine.

I didn't want to enjoy the singing and dancing, I just wanted to find the Yao girl as soon as possible. However, all the dancing performers, except for Lan Ji, had a white veil over their faces. I couldn't see clearly through a screen.

By the time the musicians finished playing the last note, the dancers were all out of breath.

"Goodness, great goodness! All are rewarded! The prince stood up, laughed, and grabbed a handful of coins from the large bronze basin beside the desk, and threw them at the Maiko.

The coins clanged when they fell to the ground, and one even rolled to my feet. When the Maiko saw the coin in the sky, they all knelt on the ground and picked up the money. Two of them were arguing over a coin. Seeing this scene, instead of blaming, the prince was even more happy, and laughed loudly: "Such a beautiful scenery, everyone will drink this cup with the prince!" ”

The guests raised their glasses in response, but just as everyone bowed their heads to drink, a maiko kneeling on the right side of the prince suddenly rose to his feet, drew a short dagger from behind his waist, and flew towards the prince to stab.

She was extremely fast, and before everyone reacted, she had already grabbed the collar of the prince's sting, and then stabbed forward with her right hand!

At this critical juncture, a wine lord flew out of nowhere and hit the dagger heavily. The maiko missed, and the tip of the dagger grazed the prince's ear.

"Ahh

Amid the screams of the crowd, the Maiko stabbed with a dagger again, but it was too late.

A dozen or so guards swarmed up, instantly crushing her to the ground and rudely tearing off the veil that covered her face.

When I saw the face under the veil, my heart was sour. Yao Nu, you are still here after all......

The prince's face turned pale with fright, and he covered his bloody ears in anger and shouted, "! Quick, kill her! Kill! ”

"Slow! Prince and slow! A long-bearded old man came out of the shadows and whispered something in the Prince's ear.

The prince snorted coldly and walked over and kicked the Yao girl a few times before he sat back on the throne and said loudly: "Bring people up for me!" Bring me Rankie too! ”

Yao Nu was pushed to the main position by the guards, her clothes were disheveled at this time, and her towering bun was also scattered diagonally to the side, but her face was surprisingly calm, as if all that was going to happen next had nothing to do with her.

Lan Ji pretended to be frightened, she trembled and knelt on the ground, crying so much that the pear blossoms rained, and kept shouting: "Prince, this has nothing to do with the slave family!" The slave family doesn't recognize this girl! ”

If I hadn't seen her viciousness that night, I might have been really moved by her delicate and tears at this time.

"Don't cry! Look at this assassin, but it's your Maiko! The prince said angrily.

Lan Ji walked over and glanced at Yao Nu tremblingly, and replied, "Prince, the slave family really doesn't know her. Ten days ago, on the night of the slave family, a fire broke out in the Si Le Fang where the slave family was staying, and burned to death all thirty maiko I had bought from the state of Chu. These individuals were all found in Qin by the slave family three days ago, and they were all maiko and kabuki in some nobles' mansions. ”

Burned?!

I mourned in my heart, that night I pretended to be a Chu girl in a hurry, but I didn't expect to cause thirty flower-like girls to be burned to death inexplicably. If the beast-faced man knew that I wasn't dead, he wouldn't let me go.

"Ridiculous! You all have to tell me who this assassin is, and who wants my life so much! The prince leaned over and pushed all the things on the desk to the ground, and the people below were so frightened that they didn't dare to breathe.

"Brother Yu, this assassin was originally a kabuki in my house, and he gave it to General Wu Feng half a year ago." Childe Li frowned and replied in a deep voice.

"Haha, okay, it turns out that you want my life!" The prince wanted to stand up by himself, but his body was crooked and fell to the ground, and the temple people on both sides immediately came to help, but they were all pushed away by him. He walked over and squatted in front of Gongzili and said with a smile: "Good brother, you and I are compatriots, and we have been kinder than others since we were children, but today you want my life." ”

Gongzi Li raised his head, held the hand of the crown prince, and said pleadingly: "Brother, Li has followed you since he was a child, and he has never had the heart to transgress. In this matter, if I had been the master, I would not have thrown the wine lord to save my brother just now. ”

The prince was stunned when he heard this, and immediately someone brought the wine lord who had struck the dagger. The dragon contains pearls and bronze lords, and only the prince and the prince are eligible to use it at this banquet.

The crown prince looked at Gongzi Li and was speechless for a while, and Doctor Lou came out, knelt on the ground and said loudly: "Prince, the ministers think that this female assassin has a special identity, even if it has nothing to do with Gongzi, it has nothing to do with Wu Feng, and I also ask the prince to review it." ”

The prince stood up, walked up to Yao Nu, pinched her face fiercely with his hand, and said, "Say! Did Wu Feng send you to assassinate you? ”

Yao Nu closed her mouth tightly, turned her head and didn't speak, and the prince shook her to the ground with a backhand slap: "Hard mouth!" Wait until you taste the torture instruments of my prince's mansion and see how hard you can get! Someone, send someone to send a letter to Wu Feng, so that he can return to Yong immediately. Within five days, if he doesn't come back, I will chop up the girl in his house to make minced meat! ”
