Chapter 39: Sudden Accidents
Less than a quarter of an hour passed, and with the order of a eunuch, Emperor Yuanqing finally entered the hall with a group of maids.
He was accompanied by the Duke of Fuguo, King Ning, the crown prince and Princess Qingzhu.
Everyone also hurriedly got up, facing Emperor Ning's slow steps and bowed respectfully.
"The ministers have seen Your Majesty, I respectfully ask Your Majesty Holy Ann!"
"I'm bowing, please take a seat!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Qin Yuanxi returned to his seat, and there were dancing girls entering the side door of the main hall, and he arrived in the center of the main hall in the blink of an eye.
Emperor Yuanqing sat down on the dragon chair on the upper seat, and calmly glanced around the hall for a long time, "Yesterday, the army triumphed, I have been rewarded in the court, according to the custom, the evening is the banquet for the ministers, I will set up this banquet, thank all Aiqing for many years of hard work for the country and the people." ”
Then some courtiers bowed down and prevaricated, "Your Majesty has been dreaming of sleeping all night for the country, and the ministers are ashamed,"
Emperor Yuanqing waved the black dragon gon and was about to speak, but his eyes fell on Qin Yuanxi, who was wearing a black dress.
Only for a moment of surprise did she announce in a deep voice, "The auspicious time has come, the feast begins!" ”
The banquet set up by the palace was intended to encourage the ministers and show the emperor's heart, and the time was indeed long.
By the end of the feast, the day outside had come to an end.
The night was peaceful, and the bright lights of the Lin Tak Hall squeezed out of the windowsill, trying to contain the dark curtains in the garden.
Qin Yuanxi avoided his mother's advice, and in private, because he was comfortable, he secretly drank two small glasses of palace wine.
The black gauze dress in front of her lined her hibiscus-like temples, like a little cuckoo in the vast dark night, bringing people exquisite and luxurious.
When Qin Yuanxi was happy, it was Emperor Yuanqing who stood up, "Today's banquet is over, I will take the first step when I am busy with political affairs, and you Aiqing will walk slowly." ”
When Emperor Ning spoke, everyone stood up and bowed their waists one after another, "Congratulations to Your Majesty!" ”
Emperor Yuanqing left the banquet with Fuguo Gong, King Ning and others, followed by the crown prince and the crown princess.
Qin Yuanxi left his seat and waved his hand unhappily when he saw Yu Xuanran, who was staring at his grandmother and wandering in the world.
"Gone, back to the palace."
Ziyun and Ziyin waited carefully behind their master, but only Yu Xuanran came back to his senses for a long time.
She hurriedly bent over, "...... Yes..."
Qin Yuanxi pursed his lips, seeing that his grandmother had already taken a step, he didn't scold the absent-minded Yu Xuanran, and he hurried towards the front.
The three maids behind him didn't dare to follow, and ran quickly with small steps of one foot apart.
Yu Xuanran still didn't stop her inner reverie, sometimes lowering her head and contemplating, sometimes looking at the golden coiling dragon behind Emperor Yuanqing faintly visible in front of her,
Qin Yuanxi was a little faster, and he rushed behind his grandmother in a blink of an eye.
Seeing that the side door was not far away, Emperor Ning and his entourage stopped their steps, as if they were talking to King Ning about something.
The person behind him cannot step forward, and can only be careful to stop behind.
At this moment, a beautiful shadow quickly stepped forward from Qin Yuanxi's side.
She looked at it and saw that it was Yu Xuanran, a little palace maid who lowered her head and didn't look at the road.
It seems that she didn't notice that everyone in front of her was waiting, and everyone else was standing in order, but she was still in a hurry.
Qin Yuanxi's eyelids jumped, the secret way was not good, and he raised his right hand and was about to open his mouth to scold, but it was already too late.
I saw that Yu Xuanran had already passed through the middle, and walked behind Emperor Yuanqing in the blink of an eye.
Emperor Yuanqing also wanted to take another step, and Yu Xuanran's right foot fell, just stepping on a small piece of fabric hanging from the hem of the imperial robe.
The man walked without lifting his feet.
And Yu Xuanran just noticed that before he could leave, under the stunned gaze of everyone, the Son of Heaven twisted down, and fell sideways to the edge of the table next to him because of his unsteady standing.
Fortunately, Emperor Yuanqing was born as a military general, although he was accidentally knocked down by the people behind him, he reacted quickly.
Seeing that his body was about to fall, a pair of strong arms immediately supported the edge of the table.
There is no danger, but Emperor Yuanqing is wearing a dragon gon and propping up on the edge of the table at this time, and she wants to mention how embarrassed and embarrassed she is.
Behind him, Yu Xuanran, who realized that he had caused a big disaster, and even the others who witnessed everything, Qin Yuanxi and the others couldn't keep their mouths shut in shock.
In full view
Really......
The Son of Heaven is really unelegant.
Even the family members of the officials who had not dispersed at the few tables in the hall all watched the scene of His Majesty falling.
"Flutter-"
A crisp but unusually shrill laugh broke the peace in the temple.
Qin Yuanxi's body trembled, and when he noticed the person who was laughing, he looked embarrassed.
There is no way, the person who laughed at this ridicule was His Royal Highness King Ning.
Emperor Yuanqing was already carefully supported by the Duke of Fuguo at this time, and glared at his sister angrily.
Everyone could clearly see the gloomy horror on His Majesty's face.
King Koning stroked his belly and still smiled, and the untimely laughter was extremely sensational in the quiet hall.
“… Hehehehe...... I said eldest sister, why can't you even walk steadily? Are you that old? Lohaha...... No... No, I'm going to die laughing,... I was just ......"
King Ning laughed for a while, turned around and saw the embarrassed and cramped faces of the people behind him, only then did he realize the place at this time, and slowly stopped laughing.
Holding your breath and clasping your hands behind your back, as if nothing had anything to do with it.
Originally, he had caused a big disaster, but he was interrupted by King Ning's laughter, and Yu Xuanran was already stunned.
Standing in place stupidly, he didn't even kneel down to confess his guilt, but just looked at the Son of Heaven and King Ning with panicked eyes.
Fortunately, it was Qin Yuanxi, the master, who judged the situation and walked forward quickly with his skirt.
According to the methods of martial arts practice recently, his hands pressed on Yu Xuanran's shoulders and kicked her to her knees with a ruthless foot.
Yu Xuanran, who had a short circuit in her brain, was puzzled by this kick, and there was a burst of anger.
Just as she was about to get up and scold, her feet were just getting stronger, but her eyes fell on the frosty Tianzi, and she realized the current situation.
Yu Xuanran hurriedly suppressed the panic and anger in her heart, leaned down and kowtowed a few times.
"Your Majesty...... Your Majesty forgives the sin, and the slave deserves to die, for a while...... I lost my mind and accidentally bumped into Your Majesty......"
Although Emperor Yuanqing is kind, but at this time when he lost face with integrity, he was still ridiculed by his own sister, how could he not be angry.
The haze on his face became thicker and thicker, and he couldn't hold it back.
He glared at King Ning a few times in annoyance, and his sharp gaze couldn't be removed from Yu Xuanran.
“…… Grandmother, this little palace maid...... It's Xi'er's side, she entered the palace early, less than ten days, maybe it's the first time she panicked before she got into trouble......"
Qin Yuanxi explained like this, his face was both embarrassed and hot.
She felt that she was unlucky to die, and she was so kind to bring such an incompetent maid to see the world, but she had caused such a big disaster.
The dignified Yunxi County Lord, the eldest grandson of the Son of Heaven, the personal maid beside him tripped the Son of Heaven, this is really ...... Shame on you!
