Chapter 386: Wine to Half-Drunk
The old duchess has not felt good for more than a year, and often sees her Langjun borrowing wine alone in the house to kill her sorrows, as if she wants to drink all the wine she has not drunk in her life, and she often sighs.
Seeing her only granddaughter depressed all day long made her even more uncomfortable.
A tree lives a skin, and a man lives a face.
Because of the royal family's repeated refusal to let Changle marry into the royal family, and finally had to marry the idle king, she was resentful of the Xuanyuan family.
She didn't think of a birthday banquet to let her Lang Jun's heart be resolved, how could she be unhappy?
Seeing her daughter sitting at the top, she thought to herself: It is impossible for people to have everything as they want, and it is the best to have today's ending.
After a few rounds of toasting, the civil and military officials did not dare to make another time in front of the Emperor Taishang and Emperor Xuanyuan, and they all rushed to the future Crown Prince.
The Daxi Dynasty inherited the legacy of the previous dynasty, and although the fear of the royal family was from the heart, it was not as cowering in front of the royal people as the later dynasties.
Therefore, to toast the future emperor, everyone has no psychological burden.
The crown prince, as a junior, helps the old prince greet male guests, and the crown princess, as the prince's virtuous helper, naturally has to help greet female guests on behalf of the juniors.
So neither of them drank less.
The wine was half-drunk, and the banquet was close to halfway, so everyone got up and went to the guest room to change clothes and rest for a while.
The guest rooms are not all in one place, but are separated.
The men rested in the guest rooms in the front yard, while the women went to the guest house in the back house to rest.
Xuanyuan Jie was a little drunk, changed her clothes under the service of her personal attendant, and then changed into clean clothes and lay down on the couch to rest.
At this time, there was a knock on the door.
The waiter opened the door and saw a pretty maid standing outside the door with a tray in her hand, and the waiter didn't think much about it and asked, "Is this the decanting soup prepared for His Royal Highness the Prince?" ”
The little maid replied respectfully with a smile: "Yes, every guest has it, but it is prepared separately for a few distinguished guests." ”
The chamberlain nodded, dodging out of the way.
The little maid Lianbu moved lightly and cautiously into the room, and put down the tray after bowing to Xuanyuan Jie.
She peeked with her eyes and saw that the incense in the incense burner was burning, and the curling green smoke slowly diffused throughout the room, and the corners of the little girl's mouth were lightly raised.
After the waiter stepped forward to test the poison with a silver needle, he handed the jade bowl to Xuanyuan Jie.
The little maid didn't stay long, and when she saw that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had drunk the sobering soup, she bowed down and left the room.
Not long after, Xuanyuan Jie was about to take a nap when there was another knock on the door.
The waiter had no choice but to open the door again, this time it was not the little maid who came, but the county lord of Changle and her maid Dongmei, the waiter wondered in his heart, and asked quietly on his face: "I've seen the county lord of Changle, I don't know what happened to the county lord?" ”
The county lord of Changle smiled: "I don't know if the prince's cousin can rest?" ”
The waiter was a little embarrassed, and didn't know how to answer: "This ......", he turned to look in the direction of Xuanyuan Jie.
Xuanyuan Jie wanted to pretend to be asleep, but when she thought that her cousin had already given her marriage to her fourth brother, it didn't hurt to see her, so she got up and asked, "What's the matter with the county lord of Changle looking for Lone?" ”
Seeing that the prince had gotten up, the chamberlain got out of the way, and the county lord of Changle was overjoyed, and Tingting walked into the room, while Dongmei stayed outside the door.
She saw that the incense burning in the room was still there, and quietly blessed the gift: "Changle see the prince's cousin." ”
"The family doesn't have to be polite, Changle is there something wrong with this, why did you come to find Gu alone?" Xuanyuan Jie asked again.
"This, Changle wanted to ask something, but ......" she looked at the waiter in the room and stopped talking.
Xuanyuan Jie thought to herself: It is estimated that this girl still can't let go of her third brother, so she wants to ask him about the third brother, otherwise she won't be able to ask in front of the waiter!
He sighed in his heart, wanting to take this opportunity to persuade Changle, after all, the fourth brother had a good relationship with him.
He didn't want to push the fourth brother away from their brother in the future because of the matter of the county lord of Changle.
He nodded to the chamberlain: "You go to the door and keep guard." ”
The chamberlain was a little worried, but he also knew that His Royal Highness the Prince's decision was not something he could put his beak on, so he bowed out of the room.
"Okay, everyone is out, just ask Changle if you have anything to say!"
At this moment, Xuanyuan Jie's head was a little dizzy, he knew that this was a relationship between the wine, and he wanted to finish talking quickly, so that he could squint for a while.
The county lord of Changle was not in a hurry, seeing that Xuanyuan Jie's cheeks were slightly red, and her eyes were a little confused, she knew that her calculation was half successful.
She pulled the handkerchief and asked aggrievedly: "Cousin Prince, is this not waiting to see Changle?" Why do you hide every time you see Changle, even if you don't want to say a few words! ”
Xuanyuan Jie's head was already a little confused, and he felt that he was a little hot, especially when he saw the pair of affectionate eyes on the other side, he seemed to see his crown princess in a trance.
"Cousin Prince......" Lord Changle said tentatively: "I, in fact, what I have always really liked is Cousin Prince, but you have never given Changle a chance...... Do you really dislike me? ”
"Oh, Lonely, Lonely, it's just, it's just ......" Xuanyuan Jie's head seemed to remain a little clear, his five senses at this time were infinitely magnified, and the fragrant fragrance not far from him was the incense used by the crown princess, which gave him the illusion that the person in front of him had become a gentle princess......
The county lord of Changle's heart was beating like a drum, and seeing that Xuanyuan Jie on the other side was already delirious, she knew that her plan was going to succeed today.
She had been waiting, waiting for a great opportunity, but she didn't expect everything to go well today, and she wanted to thank her grandfather, who had a birthday that gave her this God-given opportunity.
Since it is unkind and unrighteous today, he wants to marry her to that useless idle king, since Xuanyuan Che looks down on her and rejects her sincerity.
She's going to make them all regret it!
Since she can't marry the person she loves, she wants the most honorable status in the world, even if it doesn't start at all.
One day, she will stand on the highest position in the world and look down on all beings, so that those who once looked down on her will kneel in front of her and wagging their tails and beg for mercy, especially that peasant girl!
As the clothes fell to the ground, a heartbeat sound was heard in the room soon after......
When Dongmei heard this voice, she knew that her lord's plan had succeeded, and she was thinking about what she was going to do next, but the voice in the house was ignored by her.
The chamberlain who was standing across from her heard the voice and knew what was going on in the house, and he was stunned, and he couldn't understand why this was happening.
What should he do now? Do you want to go in and stop it, or do you stick to it and don't let today's events get bigger?
The chamberlain stamped eagerly and was at a loss for what to do.
