Chapter Twenty-Eight: Entering the Palace for a Banquet 1
Lin Xi glanced at the Seventh Prince, and then blessed the emperor, just like the seat of the Fifth Prince, sure enough, the Fifth Princes are still wearing purple clothes today, Lin Xi looked at the man next to him with satisfaction, or he wore purple is the most pleasing to the eye. Thinking about it, he lowered his head and took a look at his purple clothes again, and he was happy for no reason, and he was most comfortable with the five princes in purple.
The emperor glanced at the sons and daughters-in-law underground, and always felt that something was wrong, the queen next to him approached him and muttered a few words in a low voice, the emperor's face was a little embarrassed, and it was really as the queen said, today's prince, five kings, seven kings, and the two young ladies of the prime minister's mansion are all purple! Didn't you discuss it in advance? But after thinking about it, when did this prince and the seven kings have such a good relationship with the five kings who stay at home! I don't think I remembered the rumors a few days ago, and then I looked back and forth between Lin Xi and the Seventh Prince, couldn't it be these two people......
"Your Majesty! The time has come! The father-in-law on the side leaned over and said, but he also happened to interrupt the emperor's thoughts.
Straightening his face, the emperor ignored the suspicion in his heart for the time being, and then said with a smile on his face, "The family banquet begins!" ”
With the order of the emperor's son Sang Gumu, on the originally somewhat dark hall, dozens of palace people walked in, holding lotus-shaped palace lamps, slowly walked to various positions, and placed the lotus lamps on the case, the lotus flowers slowly bloomed, revealing the wick inside, the oil lamp was already vigorous, and it was even more dazzling in the darkness of this room at this moment!
Lin Xi glanced at the person beside him, and sure enough, the man's eyes exposed outside the mask were tightly lost in a crack in the city, and he wanted to dodge the light but didn't dare to move because of the etiquette! I had to endure the burning pain in my eyes!
Lin Xi's heart was sour, he just couldn't see such a man, his little hand quietly poked out from his sleeve, and then stretched out to the case, his little eyes looked at the emperor who was talking happily with the princes from time to time, and quietly and carefully moved the lotus-shaped palace lamp, just like a child cheating under the teacher's nose in the examination room, Lin Xi was cautious, but there was also a trace of fear in his heart, so the lotus lamp stopped and stopped, and the lamp oil overflowing the bottom of the lotus flower overflowed along the lotus petals and dripped on Lin Xi's hand.
"Oops!" Lin Xi grinned and didn't dare to make a sound, in fact, it was not that the burning pain was too strong, but that Lin Xi felt sorry for the white and tender little hands! If such a good hand is burned, it will be broken!
The Seventh Prince was eating wine, but his eyes drifted to this side, looking at Lin Xi with an indifferent expression, seeing that she had a hot hand, he didn't react, he just put down the cup, and didn't look at it anymore, only the palm between the purple sleeves was clenched into a fist.
The fifth prince looked at Lin Xi's movements, and the hands between his sleeves were also clenched, and he couldn't help her, because he was a little apprehensive, and she felt so intimate with the seventh prince just now above the main hall.
When Lin Xi saw the five princes looking at her, she thought that the five kings were worried, so she deliberately stuck out her little tongue and made a grimace quickly, which meant to rest assured! It's okay!
Zisang Wuze looked at Lin Xi, slightly stunned, his gray eyes dimmed, he lowered his head to look at his face reflected in the cup, and then thought about the seventh prince who was a talent! Oh, yes! From childhood to adulthood, everyone likes Xiao Qi, and no one cares about a nasty ghost who was born to be abandoned by others!
"Five Princes!" Lin Xi suddenly approached the man, saw that the man's bare chin under the cold silver mask trembled a little, and asked curiously, "Do your eyes still hurt?" ”
Hearing this, Zisang Wuze turned his head to look at Lin Xi carefully, his big smart and bright eyes made him can't help but raise his hand and want to touch, maybe he has been in the dark for too long!
But the hand that had just been raised was gently put down, and his inferiority complex stained his eyes, and he couldn't help but ask himself, is he worthy?
Lin Xi didn't fail to see the inferiority complex in the eyes of the fifth prince, but she could only pretend not to see it, because she understood the heart of the child who was played with by God, just like her, she had no parents in her previous life, so she was very resistant to others talking about her parents, because she always looked very pitiful at that time! Very inferior!
Turning his head and looking at the kind lotus lantern, the firelight was very enchanting, and it was getting higher and higher, Lin Xi leaned towards Zisang Wuze unpretentiously, blocking the light for him.
The moon outside the main hall seemed to be infected by this joyous atmosphere, and its whole body bounced out, forming a huge disk, which hung high in the sky.
The singing and dancing in the hall were leveling, the emperor and the princes were eating wine and chatting very happily, and the dancers who performed seemed to be unable to attract their attention!
The emperor waved his palm, already a little drunk, "Stand down!" ”
A group of singers retreated in an orderly manner when they heard this, looking at the empty hall, as the future crown princess, Euro Yuexi is very discerning, and the prince made a color, so he got up and came to take the hall above, and Mao recommended himself!
"The courtiers would like to congratulate the royal family with a pipa song! I wish Beisang a bumper harvest every year, and everyone is together! The voice is very delicate, listen carefully, but there is a trace of temperament, and you can't help but be happy, "Okay!" ”
Everyone also applauded and said yes, Euro Yuexi glanced at Lin Xi, and a smug smile appeared on her face, this eldest daughter of the Xiangfu family is famous for her pipa song! Everyone is looking forward to it!
Euro Yuexi took the pipa sent by the maid, tried the sound, stroked the body of the pipa with her slender fingers, then closed her eyes, plucked the piano, and the beautiful music poured out from the tips of the fingers, crisp as a stream jingling, thick as thunder through the window, eager as rain hitting bananas, soothing as a drizzle, fierce as a golden iron horse, euphemistic as a new house joke.
At the end of the song, everyone in the hall applauded and applauded, especially the prince, whose face was proud, but this fiancée gave him enough face.
The next performance was the princesses, but Lin Xi quietly jumped over, because many of the two daughters of the Prime Minister's Mansion were as beautiful as flowers, and they were famous beauties in the Northern Sang Kingdom, but the Xiangye was biased to educate them.
The eldest daughter has an all-round development of morality, intelligence, physical fitness, beauty and labor, while the second daughter follows the traditional concept that a woman's lack of talent is virtue. So at this moment, Lin Xi understood what the stern smugness of the euro moon just now meant!
Lin Xi looked at the women who finished performing in turn, and then looked at the emperor who seemed to have nothing to do, her small mouth pouted, why should she ignore her, if she was on weekdays, it would be forgotten, but her identity today is the fiancée of the fifth prince! Why do you turn a blind eye to your son?
Thinking of this, Lin Xi glanced at the man beside him who was silently eating wine, he was very quiet, in fact, he was very inferior, to be precise, he was very inferior, and he seemed incompatible with these royal nobles.
Oh, yes! Lin Xi knew that if she hadn't gone to the palace that night to force him over, then the five kings would definitely not have attended today. Thinking of this, Lin Xi felt a little guilty in his heart.
"Your Majesty!" As soon as the words came out, everyone looked and saw that the five kings who described the air had already occupied a figure beside them, and it was none other than the second lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion.
The emperor looked over, his face froze, he had the heart to take care of her, as if people didn't appreciate it, "What's the matter?" At this moment, the emperor's tone was already a little displeased.
The Seventh Prince was holding a cup, his eyes squinting at Lin Xi, not understanding what she wanted to do? Very curious!
And Euro Yuexi is very proud at the moment, the little hand under the desk is pulling the prince's palm, seeing that the prince's palm is a little sweaty, she is very displeased, she just doesn't like the prince to worry about Lin Xi, so she looks at Euro Lin Xi even more proudly, she has a few pounds and a few taels of weight and doesn't weigh herself, see how it ends for a while! Thinking of this, Euro Yuexi unconsciously leaned against the crown prince.
Euro Lin Xi didn't seem to see the different looks in everyone's eyes, some worried, some sympathetic, and of course, there was no shortage of those who watched the show in Euro Yuexi.
Walking to the center of the main hall, he blessed his body slightly, "Your Majesty the Emperor, on the day of the full moon today, when the family is reunited, the festive family gathers, and the courtiers are ugly!" ”
The emperor looked at the slightly weak woman above the main hall, and the humble words just now made him look at her twice, and his fingers tapped randomly on the desk intentionally or unintentionally, and after a long time, he said, "Okay! ”
