Chapter 322: The Emperor of the Double Standards
The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty looked at the supreme position in the palace in shock, they categorically did not dare to imagine that one day Emperor Duan, who was ruthless and old, would smile so brightly at a palace maid like a child, and some of the courtiers who heard some rumors in advance were even more shocked.
Before, they had heard that Emperor Duan had been favoring a dancing girl sent to the palace by King Yi in recent days, but with the diligent image that Emperor Duan had created over the years, those people didn't believe that this could be true at all, after all, there were many stunning women in Emperor Duan's harem, and each status was noble, and Emperor Duan wanted to spoil a woman and find a dancing girl, which was really incredible.
But what is unfolding in front of them now is this unexpected scene, everyone in the hall who watched it had no idea for a while, and no one dared to say a word, after all, there were too many abnormal things tonight, one after another, Emperor Duan seemed to be bewitched by someone.
Everyone invariably remembered Duan Jingyi in their hearts, could it be that he did something to the dancing girl to bewitch Emperor Duan, if this is the case, then his heart must be impure, the first person who thought of this was Duan Jingxun, he himself was not very clear in his heart, so he imagined everything according to his own cognition.
Duan Jingxun lowered his eyebrows and looked at the women beside Emperor Duan, there must be one of them who will become his enemy to seize the throne, but which one is it exactly, Duan Jingxun suddenly remembered Gu Xilai who had been with him for something at this time.
Although this woman also has a ghost mind, judging from tonight's situation, if he proposes the idea of cooperation, Gu Xi will definitely not refuse.
This matter was indeed guessed by Duan Jingxun, although Gu Xi did not publicize it after returning to the seat, but seeing that Emperor Duan obviously gave a seat to the maids around him without any disguise, there was still a burst of jealousy in his heart.
After all, when she went to toast just now, she was either standing or half-kneeling to help Emperor Duan massage, why can a dancer get a seat next to Emperor Duan now, the jealousy in her heart is almost written on her face, Gu Xi angrily picked up the wine glass and poured herself a sip, just wanted to drink another glass when she saw the gaze cast from the opposite seat at the moment she lowered her head, and as soon as she saw that the other party was Duan Jingxun, Gu Xi immediately understood what he meant.
The singing and dancing in the palace is still just that the heart of the Manchu Dynasty is not as easy as Fang Cai, because what happened before is not related to your vital interests after all, to put it bluntly, everyone is just watching the excitement, but now the matter of giving the seat has caused most people to be surprised.
According to the current degree of favor of Emperor Duan, even if he wants to canonize this dancing girl as a concubine or even directly as the queen one day, it is very likely, after all, if everything is really manipulated by Duan Jingyi behind the scenes, then Emperor Duan can only become a current puppet, and when the harem is the only emperor under house arrest, and the prince comes out to govern the country, it is tantamount to directly changing the sky.
The ministers who remained neutral were all nervous, not to mention that there were some who were more inclined to Duan Jingxun or other princes, their hearts were full of fear, if it was really Duan Jingyi's attack, then they must not sit still.
Everyone had a ghost in their hearts, but only one person was shocked into a cold sweat, that person was Song Ming, Dong Cheng on the side sighed long after listening to Emperor Duan's words, and just wanted to turn his head to complain to Song Ming in his heart, but he saw this person looking at Emperor Duan's side intently, and a layer of fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.
Dong Cheng was stunned, "What's wrong with you?" But what's wrong? ”
Although his tone was sincere and anxious, it didn't sound like any concern to others, Song Ming was also blinded by his anger, and immediately carefully wiped the beads of sweat off his forehead, and said in his heart, Good guy, this is really bold, he dared to let Su Zhi appear openly at the palace banquet, even if it was dark under the lamp, he couldn't take such a risk.
But Dong Cheng didn't know why, he didn't have much contact with Su Zhi before, and then he didn't know the mystery in it, and now he didn't recognize her at all, Dong Cheng was relieved after receiving Song Ming's white eyes, and then resumed his worries about Emperor Duan, he turned his head sideways, "Your Majesty is really abnormal today, this matter is the most creepy, do you say it will be ......?"
As he spoke, he looked at Duan Jingyi, and Song Ming glanced at him again, "What do you think, do you believe that the prince will be that kind of person?" ”
"I don't believe it, but it's a strange thing, don't you think everything that happened today is abnormal?"
Song Ming snorted, remembered the grape in front of him and stuffed one into his mouth, and said in his heart, can it not be abnormal, the queen who has been thinking about him for twenty years is back again, the emperor is excited!
But this is not easy to say, after all, Song Ming does not know what Su Zhi's plan is, if he only stays in the palace for a few days, it is fine, but if he plans to come back, it is a big hidden danger, he had to shake his head, took the wine glass and said, "Don't nag you, today is Chinese New Year's Eve, let's talk about it tomorrow, you have to give people a chance to breathe." ”
Song Ming held the wine glass, but Dong Cheng refused to move, and still said worriedly, "This thing is definitely not done by the prince, but if someone else deliberately frames it, it will not only threaten Your Majesty, but it will also ......."
Song Ming rolled his eyes, "Are you tired, you said it's okay, you believe me," After speaking, Song Ming drank the wine alone and turned his head to enjoy the song and dance, but he seemed to be staring at the beautiful woman in front of him in a circle without distraction, but the afterglow was floating towards the place where Su Zhi was from beginning to end, and even he had already thought about how to whitewash the peace if he showed some horse's feet for a while.
Emperor Duan is really in a good mood when he sits in the hall here, he has not enjoyed singing and dancing quietly with Su Zhi for a long time, even if she can't reveal her true identity now, but Emperor Duan is already very satisfied, he looks at it for a while, and then turns his head and whispers something to Su Zhi, which makes Su Zhi can't help but bow her head and chuckle.
Emperor Duan naturally knew that he couldn't be careless, and he also said a few words to the palace maid next to him from time to time when he was talking to her, but compared to the content, it was much more double-standard.
Emperor Duan was digging into Su Zhi and Yan Yue's heart to make her happy, and then he turned his head to the palace maid who was also masked and only had a cold word, "Laugh!" ”
In this way, it is even more difficult for the people below to discern which person is Emperor Duan's favorite person recently, and they can't imagine that Emperor Duan still has such a ghost mind emotionally when he is old.
