Chapter 15: He's a Villain Male Cannon Fodder (2)
The night was already dark, but the back garden of the palace was like day under the reflection of the lanterns. The night banquet has begun, and dishes that look like they are all on the table.
Jian Xiaozhu looked at the anchovy shark fin, eight-treasure wild duck, spiced mandarin fish, lotus leaf chicken, and steamed fresh on an empty stomach, only to feel that time passed more and more slowly. She was dizzy with hunger, and her legs were numb, but the princes and nobles sitting at the table did not use chopsticks, but proposed to compose poems on the spot.
Jian Xiaozhu looked at this group of people who were full of interest without tears, starting from Murong You, and then to Su Moxue, almost everyone improvised a poem related to the moon. This made Jian Xiaozhu think in his heart, these people here are really talented.
However, there is one person who seems to be an exception.
When it was Murong Yi's turn to compose poems, he scratched his head with a bit of a dazed look in his eyes, and looked at Murong You embarrassedly: "Your Majesty, you know that I don't like to read the most." It's really hard for me to write poetry. ”
The people present showed helpless expressions, but Jian Xiaozhu looked at Murong Yi in surprise, he didn't expect this person to be able to admit so calmly that he couldn't compose poetry on such an occasion, which made Jian Xiaozhu feel a little admiration for the character of a waste passerby in this novel.
Murong looked at Murong Yi with disgust, not knowing what to say. A man in Tsing Yi who was present helped Murong Yi relieve the siege: "Ning Wangping has been fighting on the battlefield every year and has defended the stability of our Dongyuan Kingdom, so he rarely has time to read some poetry books. ”
Hearing the words of the man in Tsing Yi, Jian Xiaozhu suddenly felt that this person was a sycophant. After all, as the author of this book, Jian Xiaozhu couldn't be clearer. Murong Yi is a waste wood who doesn't like to read, and he can't play a role in the court, so Murong You put him into the army to train him. It's just that Murong Yi's military exploits are all earned by his subordinates, and he himself often secretly runs back to the imperial city to enjoy himself.
But Murong Yi didn't have any self-knowledge, he only took these words seriously, and looked at the man in Tsing Yi with emotion: "Brother Qi Ren, you are the best." ”
Qi Ren?
Hearing Murong Yi's words, Jian Xiaozhu hurriedly looked up at the man in Tsing Yi. Unexpectedly, this sycophant turned out to be an important male supporting role in the novel, Qi Ren!
Jian Xiaozhu looked Qi Ren up and down, and saw that his appearance was just like the description in the novel, his eyebrows and eyes were as warm as jade, and the whole person looked indifferent and quiet, as if he only existed in landscape paintings.
But Xiao Xiaozhu knew that Qi Ren just seemed to be a humble gentleman. is also his acting skills that have always been outstanding, and in the early stages of the novel, no one noticed his wolf-like ambition. This also gave him enough time to prepare, so much so that in the novel, he became the biggest boss in the later stages.
At the beginning of the novel, Qi Ren gave people the feeling that he was a confidant brother with a particularly gentle personality and good to everyone. He has been by Murong You's side, giving him advice and helping him seize the throne. After Murong You ascended the throne, he wanted to crown Qi Ren as the prime minister of Dongyuan Kingdom, but Qi Ren refused.
Qi Ren said that he has always been a person who is indifferent to fame and fortune. Now that he has assisted Murong You to win the throne, he just wants to go into hiding as soon as possible and stay away from strife.
Later, Murong You talked to Qi Ren again and again, and said that only Qi Ren assisted him would make him feel at ease. As a result, Qi Ren successfully became the prime minister of Dongyuan Kingdom.
Thinking of the plot in the novel, Jian Xiaozhu only felt that Qi Ren's face was extremely hypocritical. However, it was the rebellion he led that made Murong You and Su Moxue recognize their intentions for each other in a dangerous situation.
Therefore, this hidden boss is also a tool man with a lot of role.
Originally, Jian Xiaozhu wanted Qi Ren to be the second male, but Su He was too charming and popular, so Qi Ren changed from a confidant brother to a tool man with a big drop in roles, and in the end he became a super villain.
Thinking of this, Jian Xiaozhu's eyes turned into sympathy when he looked at Qi Ren. And her expression was all in Murong Yi's eyes, so Murong Yi suddenly pointed at Jian Xiaozhu and said, "This palace maid is the younger sister of Captain Zhang, and she healed Bai Guifei not long ago." I heard that when Miss Yunzhu was at home, she often went to the library to read. So I think since Miss Yunzhu has read a lot of books, I don't know if she can recite a poem for us? ”
Jian Xiaozhu watched everyone's eyes focus on him, and he only felt confused. Isn't this scene the moment when the heroine in the novel shows off her skills in ancient times, referred to as pretending to be X!
But Jian Xiaozhu obviously didn't want to move the poems of those famous artists, after all, it was too showy and not good. But...... Due to the sudden nervousness on the spot, Jian Xiaozhu had to recite a poem that came to mind for the first time: "The sea rises and the moon rises, and the end of the world is at this time." ”
After reciting, Jian Xiaozhu smiled awkwardly, but found that everyone present looked at her with slightly shocked eyes. And Qi Ren suddenly clapped his hands and praised: "Good poetry!" I didn't expect that there was such a talented person hidden by the side of the concubine. ”
Bai Ningshuang pursed her lips and smiled: "The first time I saw Yunzhu, I thought this girl was quite clever, but fortunately she stayed by her side." ”
Although Murong Yi was shocked, he applauded in time: "I'll just say, this girl will definitely be able to do it." ”
It's just that Murong You looked at Murong Yi dissatisfied: "I think King Ning should also read more poetry and books in his spare time." ”
Murong Yi didn't dare to speak again, but lowered his head and ate the vegetables.
Halfway through the banquet, it's time for a snack. As plate after plate of dim sum was served, the concubine who had prepared the talent show was about to start showing her skills. Concubine Xi went on stage first and sang a tune, but it was not very beautiful. The people present spoke, ate, and ate, and no one went to see her performance.
Next up is the concubine. When Concubine Xiao walked on stage with a smile, Jian Xiaozhu also went out of her way to see Zhu Yan's expression. It's just that this look almost didn't scare Jian Xiaozhu's soul away. She saw that Zhu Yanzheng was looking at her with an extremely cold look, as if to warn her, and quickly forgot the scene she had just seen in the black light.
Jian Xiaozhu was frightened for a moment and took a few steps back, as if the whole person was no longer in the yang world.
The performance of the concubine begins. Jian Xiaozhu saw her dancing a dance of medium to high difficulty, but the people on the side of the pavilion gradually looked over to the concubine, among them, Zhu Yan. Although Concubine Xiao is not as captivating as Su Moxue and Bai Ningshuang, her appearance is very sweet and smart. If Concubine Xiao was born in modern times, she is definitely a Lori goddess who can make otaku crazy.
When Concubine Xiao walked back to the pavilion, with a sweet smile on her face, she glanced at Zhu Yan intentionally or unintentionally. However, Zhu Yan didn't look at her, but concentrated on eating the chestnut cake in his hand. Bai Ningshuang took another piece and put it on his plate: "If you like to eat, eat more, this is the dim sum made by the palace maid of our Ningshuang Palace." ”
With that, Bai Ningshuang turned his head to look at Jian Xiaozhu behind him. said to Zhu Yan: "If you think it's delicious, I'll ask her to make more for you in the future." ”
Zhu Yan paused and put down the chestnut cake in his hand.
At the end of the banquet, the finale was naturally white condensation. Although Su Moxue is the queen of a country, she doesn't like to be in the limelight, and she doesn't want to compete with Bai Ningshuang. On the day after her wedding, when she found that Murong You's heart only had white condensation, she became disheartened.
When Bai Ningshuang walked on stage, everyone in the pavilion focused on her. I saw Bai Ningshuang put on a pure white long-sleeved shirt at some point, and under the round moon, with the musician's music, he waved his long sleeves and danced.
Jian Xiaozhu, who was standing in the pavilion, looked at Bai Ningshuang, and only the words "fluttering" were floating back and forth in his mind. Bai Ningshuang's body is very soft, and she dances like a fairy. Such a person, no matter how you look at it, it is difficult to associate her with a vicious female partner.
It's just that Jian Xiaozhu's impression of Bai Ningshuang has just become a little better, but Bai Ningshuang has proved with practical actions that she can only go farther and farther on the road of being a demon.
Bai Ningshuang, who returned to the pavilion after a dance, looked at Murong You affectionately, and in the face of the public praise of the concubine, Bai Ningshuang pretended to be humble and said: "I'm nothing, the queen hasn't appeared yet!" ”
And Su Moxue, after hearing Bai Ningshuang's words, her face changed slightly as Bai Ningshuang expected.
