Chapter Seventy-Five: The Palace Banquet
When the emperor arrived, he was furious.
His face was angry: "What's the matter? How could this happen at such a critical juncture? ”
The eunuch below knelt on the ground and trembled, not daring to speak.
Now that the envoys of the neighboring countries are still in the capital, if they know about it, wouldn't they be watching a joke again?
The more the emperor thought about it, the darker his face became.
The eunuch saw that the emperor had not spoken for a long time, and only after a long time did he cautiously kneel and walk forward: "Your Majesty, what is the ...... What should we do with Li Gongzi? ”
"What else can be done?" The emperor said angrily: "Suppress this matter first, including Li Xiong, and you can't let him come out, don't let it happen." ”
"Yes."
After the eunuch finished speaking, he hurriedly went down to deliver the decree.
And the emperor stood still, still very angry.
It's really not enough to succeed and more to lose, so something like this happened, and he was promoted to deputy general only a few days ago.
What a failure!
The emperor had some prejudices against Li Xiong in his heart.
And after Li Xiong fell into a coma, he woke up for a long time.
As soon as I woke up, I saw my father's dark face, and I didn't know why: "Father, why are you here?" ”
"Are you embarrassed?" Li Daxiu was almost angry with this unsuccessful son, and yelled at him: "It's really a shame for my Li family!" ”
Li Xiong was even more confused.
He was in a lot of pain, as if he had been beaten by someone.
As the scenes of yesterday's events passed through his mind, Li Xiong's face changed, and he hurriedly complained to him: "Father, you must be the master of your son!" Yesterday ......"
As soon as he heard him mention yesterday, Li Daxiu's eyes were a little red.
He flicked his sleeves and commanded directly: "You still dare to mention yesterday, it seems that you haven't recognized your mistake yet!" You should reflect in the room, if there is no one to let the son out without my order. ”
Li Xiong's eyes widened: "Eh, father, father!" ”
But no matter how he shouted, Li Daxiu didn't have any intention of turning back.
The door was closed, and Li Xiong was confused, and he was even more aggrieved.
He was only beaten yesterday, huh? What else did he do?
There are only two days left before the palace banquet.
Two days passed quickly.
On the day of the palace banquet, all the officials went to the palace with their ladies and gentlemen.
All of them were dressed up in bright colors.
Hearing that the envoys of the neighboring countries were coming on this day, these women naturally took great pains to dress up themselves, and they hated to become the most eye-catching people besides the queen.
People came one after another at the palace banquet.
The seats of the palace banquet are all arranged very neatly, and there are drinks and snacks in front of the seats, and the presentation is also extremely exquisite.
Looking at such a battle, many people couldn't help but put away their somewhat careless attitude in the past and seriously participated in the banquet.
Officials gathered in twos and threes to talk about what had happened in the capital in the past two days, and many of them were whispering about Li Xiong's affairs.
It's just that they all have a little guess in their hearts, and they all guess that it may be Li Shengshu's hands and feet.
But it's just speculation, and there is no evidence.
While everyone was talking, Sun Jiayao took Li Jinyu's arm and walked in at the door.
She deliberately dressed up today to be gentle and lovely, adding a little naughtiness to her delicateness, and bringing her own gentleness to the extreme.
Li Jinyu had a prodigal smile on her face.
The two come hand in hand, and they are an incomparably compatible pair.
Sun Jiayao took Li Jinyu's arm and entered the banquet, and felt that the eyes of many people around her were focused on her.
Moreover, she heard the praise of many people.
"I heard that this is the second lady of the Guogong Mansion, it is said that she is very talented, gentle and moving, and now when I see it, it is true."
"Yes, I have long heard that the second lady is famous, but it is quite different from the so-called eldest lady of the Guogong Mansion."
Hearing this, one person was a little scared, and lowered his voice to remind: "Don't talk nonsense, the current person is not the usual eldest lady of the Guogong Mansion, now she is the princess." ”
"What about the princess?" The person who disdained it at the beginning was Jiang Xitong, who had a grudge against Li Shengshu, "Even if it's a princess, she can't change her temperament." ”
Thinking of the grievances he had received at the gate of the palace before, Jiang Xitong felt unconvinced for a while, and even Sun Qingqing became resentful.
Hearing such an evaluation, Sun Jiayao was naturally happy.
She quietly hooked the corners of her lips.
Sun Qingqing, what if you become Princess Rui now? In the eyes of others, I will always be better than you.
She thought triumphantly.
When it came to the banquet, Sun Jiayao's seat was naturally not with Li Jinyu.
Li Jinyu turned her head, naturally let go of her hand, and said softly, "I'm leaving." ”
"Okay." Sun Jiayao concealed the reluctance in her eyes and responded obediently.
Li Jinyu's favorite thing is that she is well-behaved.
After a while, everyone in the banquet was about to come, but Sun Qingqing and Li Shengshu were still missing.
Someone has noticed this and is whispering about it.
At this moment, the eunuch outside said in a sharp voice: "King Rui, Princess Rui has arrived!" ”
All eyes on you.
Everyone looked towards the door of the temple.
The first thing that caught everyone's eye was a touch of red.
Li Shengshu was dressed in a red robe, sitting in a red wheelchair specially customized for him, and the black trim on the sleeves added a bit of fortitude to his extremely handsome face.
Sun Qingqing pushed him behind him.
It seems that in order to match, she is also wearing a red gauze skirt today, her black hair is pulled up high, but her eyes are slightly drooping, and a touch of tenderness falls.
The big red lined her with more and more red lips and white teeth, which was extremely beautiful.
The two are like the most compatible pair in the world, their clothes are overlapped, although they are not words, but they are worth a thousand words.
Everyone forgot to speak for a while, and just stared blankly.
And Sun Jiayao looked at Sun Qingqing, who had already received everyone's attention, and a trace of jealousy flashed in her eyes.
And so it is again!
As soon as she came, everyone's eyes were drawn to it!
She was so jealous.
Almost without any hesitation, Sun Jiayao stretched out a leg in front of the path that Sun Qingqing and Li Shengshu were going to take, trying to trip Sun Qingqing.
According to calculations, the leg she is stretching out now should only trip Sun Qingqing.
At that time, see if Sun Qingqing is still as beautiful as she is now!
Sun Jiayao calculated very well.
But what she didn't expect was that Sun Qingqing had already discovered her Xiao Jiujiu, and as soon as the wrist holding the handle of the wheelchair turned, the wheelchair ran straight towards Sun Jiayao.
"Ahh
Sun Jiayao didn't expect it at all, and couldn't help but let out a low sigh, which was very obvious in this silence.
And those people looked at Sun Jiayao with some dissatisfaction.
At such a banquet, it is very bad to be surprised.
When Sun Qingqing and Li Shengshu passed, Sun Jiayao's face turned pale, and she only felt that her feet were not her own, and she became more and more jealous of Sun Qingqing in her heart.
And some people even expressed their opinions: "How do I feel, this Princess Rui has a better temperament than the second lady?" ”
"I feel the same way, too." Someone agreed, "It seems that the rumors are not true." ”
Sun Qingqing is peerless, and Sun Jiayao is a small jasper, so she is superior.
Everyone has a preliminary judgment on the comparison between the two of them.
Sun Jiayao was even more secretly hateful.
As soon as Sun Qingqing and the two of them came in, they attracted the attention of almost everyone, and everyone in the hall didn't know why, and they lost their enthusiasm.
Not long after, the emperor and the envoys of various countries had already arrived, and the palace banquet should have officially begun.
Sure enough, people from both countries came.
Needless to say, Fengguo is also like Sun Jiayao said, there is really a woman, presumably this woman is Princess Jiayu.
Princess Jiayu is dressed in a very exotic style, revealing some skin on her arms and shoulders, and even her appearance is deep facial features, which is very different from them.
And such a princess Jiayu has a different kind of charm, which also attracts many people.
At the beginning of the feast, the envoys of the two countries began to pay tribute.
The envoys of the Feng Kingdom really paid tribute to the very precious Tianxin Grass, and Princess Jiayu took out the Soul Rejuvenation Pill.
The Soul Rejuvenation Pill is an extremely precious elixir, and it is said that it can save people's lives at critical moments.
This kind of soul rejuvenation pill also makes people extremely red-eyed.
Sun Qingqing saw that the emperor ordered someone to put away these two things preciously and put them in the apse.
Her eyes moved slightly, she didn't speak, An An stood beside Li Shengshu in parts, but she secretly calculated in her heart.
After the tribute was over, the people of the two countries began to greet each other, as if they had seen friends for a long time, but in fact, today was only the first time they had met.
It is etiquette between countries.
At this moment, the emperor looked at the people below: "Finally, the envoys of the two countries have come to this country, if you can communicate well and cultivate the good of Qin and Jin, it will be excellent." ”
This is already an expression of the willingness to marry.
At the same time, the emperor's words are also telling everyone that they can be casual at the banquet and talk to the person they like.
After hearing this, Princess Jiayu glanced at Li Shengshu, and then walked towards Li Jinyu.
When Sun Qingqing saw it, she raised her eyebrows slightly.
For some reason, she felt a little glad in her heart.
But what Sun Qingqing didn't notice was that when she was looking at others, there were also people looking at her, showing interest.
"Princess, it's a good thing." Seeing Princess Jiayu coming, Li Jinyu evoked a smile that was enough to show her personal charm.
"I've heard of the name of the second prince a long time ago." Princess Jiayu also smiled.
The two talked and laughed, but some people were unhappy.
This person is Sun Jiayao, who has been observing.
Seeing that things were really developing as Sun Qingqing said, she couldn't hold back a little and moved to Li Jinyu's side: "Your Royal Highness the Second Prince, the courtiers have something to say to you." ”
She was shy and timid, but interrupted the conversation.
Princess Jiayu felt inexplicable: "Who are you?" ”
The emperor and the second prince glanced at Sun Jiayao impatiently at the same time.
Seeing that this is the time for smooth communication, what is she going to interject?
Li Jinyu immediately smiled: "It's just a minister's daughter, the princess doesn't have to care." ”
Sun Jiayao bit her lip, a little aggrieved.
She wanted to say something more, but at this time, Sun Dewu had already noticed that something was wrong, and his expression was ugly: "Jia Yao, don't say it." ”
"The second prince is talking to Princess Jiayu, what are you doing when you interject?"
Sun Jiayao was still a little angry, and wanted to say.
Sun Dewu was already impatient: "Can you settle down a little?" ”
Sun Jiayao had nothing to say.
She was very depressed.
