Chapter 296
He Sheng was serving Qi Bingyu in the Qinzheng Palace to change his clothes at that time, and Qi Bingyu was still muttering in his heart, should you send someone to inform Mei Guifei in advance, so as not to see each other for so long, on today's special occasion that the two of them must attend together, if Mei Guifei is still like that, how can they still be a model for the people?
Today, not only the couples of the powerful officials, but also the couples of the peasant and merchant classes, came to participate in the spring banquet together, which is a model for the people and praises the good feelings of the people in the royal family.
He Yu sent someone in to report that Mei Guifei Niangniang was here, Qi Bingyu and He Sheng glanced at each other, and they could see the surprise in each other's hearts, after what happened last time, they could all know that Mei Guifei Niangniang was worried about the incident in the heavy snow on the second day of the feast, and she had not been able to cross the hurdle in her heart.
Qi Bingyu also understood this in his heart, he felt that Xia Rongxin needed time to digest all this, he had always taken Xia Rongxin's kindness to him as it should be, but it wasn't until that day that Xia Rongxin was not as intimate with him as before, that Qi Bingyu suddenly realized that he couldn't stand Xia Rongxin after all.
Inevitably let Mei Guifei wait outside for a long time, He Sheng hurriedly rushed out to greet him, and after seeing Mei Guifei, he grinned and said: "The slave sees Guifei Niangniang, Guifei Niangniang Wanfu Jin'an." ”
Yun Xi helped Mei Guifei Niangniang to walk up, Mei Guifei nodded and said, "Manager He doesn't need to be polite. ”
"Let the mother wait for a long time, the emperor was changing clothes at that time, and as soon as this was done, let the slaves come out to greet the mother." He Sheng smiled and said, "Niangniang, please." ”
Yun Xi glanced at Concubine Mei, only to see that she only showed a faint smile, and did not look very happy, and walked straight into the Qinzheng Hall in the direction of He Sheng's sideways concession.
Seeing Mei Guifei walk in, He Sheng slowly closed the door of the Qinzheng Palace, and a few of them guarded the door, presumably the emperor and Mei Guifei had a lot to say, and they must not be disturbed.
Qi Bingyu had already changed into his regular clothes at this time and was sitting on the dragon chair, Xia Rongxin walked in with her head down, crossed the threshold of the Qinzheng Palace, and then walked to the main hall and knelt down, and said loudly: "The concubine sees the emperor, long live my emperor, long live long live." ”
Xia Rongxin's eyes stared at the ground in front of her, and her expression was still unfazed, as if she still couldn't let go of what happened before.
Qi Bingyu was silent for a while, and then said, "Flat, give a seat." ”
"The concubine doesn't dare." Xia Rongxin didn't get up as she said, she still knelt in the center of the hall uprightly, although she came to confess her guilt, but her heart was full of grievances, which was even more difficult than the day of the feast, "The concubine came today to beg the emperor for forgiveness." ”
Qi Bingyu clenched the handle on the dragon chair slightly, and frowned slightly at Xia Rongxin, not knowing what the hell she wanted to do.
"What is the sin of the concubine?" Qi Bingyu asked.
Xia Rongxin slowly raised her head at this time, looked at Qi Bingyu's eyes, and said word by word: "The sin should not be jealous, the sin should not be angry with the emperor, the sin is to put the responsibilities of the concubines out of the matter, and the sin is ......."
"Alright." Qi Bingyu already understood why Xia Rongxin was so cold to himself that day, thinking that after so many days, he had reflected on it, and Xia Rongxin had been calming down, "You don't need to say it anymore, I understand." ”
Xia Rongxin was talking, when she was suddenly interrupted by Qi Bingyu, remembering the grievances in her heart, tears appeared in her eyes, she looked at Qi Bingyu with red eyes, and her face was full of grievances, which was really distressing.
Qi Bingyu stood up, stepped down from the throne, walked to the center of the main hall, stretched out his hand to help Xia Rongxin, and then said with affection: "You don't have to say more, I already understand." ”
Xia Rongxin looked at Qi Bingyu and burst into tears, and then Qi Bingyu took her into his arms and patted her back gently, which made Xia Rongxin's heart soften for a while, thinking of when she was young in the past, she was wronged, and Qi Bingyu comforted herself like this, but the grievances at that time were given by Lu Fushuang, and now only Qi Bingyu can let herself be wronged......
The two didn't say much, they have been together for most of their lives, many words can actually be seen through their eyes, after talking for a while, Xia Rongxin will return to the Yichun Palace, and when the spring banquet begins, they can meet again.
When she walked out of the Qinzheng Palace, Aunt Yun Xi was startled, she didn't expect to come out so soon, Xia Rongxin turned around and came out, her face was calm, and she couldn't see a trace of waves, and even if Aunt Yun Xi was worried, it was not convenient to ask at this time, so when she walked down the steps of the Qinzheng Palace, she said to Mei Guifei: "Niangniang, why did you come out so quickly?" ”
Yun Xi looked at Mei Guifei Niangniang with a worried face, worried that it would backfire, worried that the emperor would come to Yichun Hall for dinner last time, and be treated like that by Mei Guifei Niangniang, she was unhappy, and she would not give Niangniang the steps again this time.
Xia Rongxin sat on the soft sedan chair with a calm face, waved her hand, and when the sedan chair slowly walked towards the Yichun Palace, she opened her mouth and said slowly: "Do you need to stay for a long time?" Hongu and he don't have as much to talk about as before. ”
Xia Rongxin said, she raised her head, looking at the shadows of the trees overhead, the appearance of shadows, the sun was shining, penetrating through the gaps between the leaves, forming one small point of light after another, she muttered softly: "It's been too long, think about it and it's going to end." ”
Yun Xi didn't understand what Mei Guifei was talking about, but it sounded like she was going to do something special, this sentence made Yun Xi feel bottomless, just outside the door of the Qinzheng Palace, she didn't hear any special movement inside, looking at Mei Guifei's attitude, she probably didn't care about it for a long time......
Xia Rongxin didn't do more research on the relationship with Qi Bingyu in her heart, what she was thinking about now was how to abolish the position of the prince, if Qi Jingyang was still in the position of the prince, what Qi Jingqin did would not be right, these days there have been rumors in the court, saying that Qi Jingqin, the king of Jing, wants to seize the power of the prince.
It's just a joke, in terms of ability and knowledge, Qi Jingqin is not above Qi Jingyang, and Qi Jingyang's position as the prince has long existed in name only, but these vulgar and stubborn old ministers have to say so, seeing that the emperor slowly dispersed Qi Jingyang's power to Qi Jingqin, these courtiers were afraid that the world would not be chaotic, and they wrote to the emperor every day, saying that Qi Jingqin, the prince of Jing, was rebellious and arrogant.
Now that Qi Jingyang is still the crown prince, he gives Qi Jingqin a feeling that his name is not right, but Qi Bingyu has not abolished the prince and established a new prince, and others dare not ask more, which is even more incredible, I don't know what the emperor means.
Now all the power of the court that should belong to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is in the hands of Qi Jingqin, the king of Jing, which shows that above the court, Qi Bingyu has acquiesced that Qi Jingyang is useless, but he has not abolished the prince and established a new prince, others can't figure it out, but Xia Rongxin knows.
No matter how Qi Jingyang is, he is the child of Qi Bingyu and Lu Fushuang, except for the Lu family, Qi Jingyang is the only person in this world who has Lu Fushuang's blood flowing in his body, Qi Bingyu is worried that if he abolishes the prince, it will make it difficult for him to protect himself, after all, Qi Bingyu does not dare to guarantee, he is worried that after a hundred years, Qi Jingqin will ascend the throne and will not treat Qi Jingyang well.
But as far as the people of the Celestial Empire are concerned, Qi Jingqin is undoubtedly the most suitable person, Qi Bingyu has been entangled, wandering between the two, handing over Sheji to Qi Jingqin, but he has not abolished the prince......
Xia Rongxin knew this, so no matter how sweet Qi Bingyu said to her, she didn't believe it anymore, she didn't want to be a plaything in Qi Bingyu's hands anymore, and lived by Qi Bingyu's mercy, although it was too late to understand this truth, but Xia Rongxin wanted to find a way to make Qi Bingyu abolish the prince, she must ...... had to abolish the crown prince......
As long as Qi Jingyang is deposed, then the position of Prince Qi Jingqin has been established, and now everything is ready, everything is ready only to owe the east wind, as long as Qi Jingyang makes a mistake, the emperor will definitely abolish the prince under the pressure of the ministers, and this matter will become the last straw that crushes the camel......
Xia Rongxin sat on the soft sedan chair and thought about how to make Qi Jingqin abolish the crown prince, Yun Xi, who was walking aside, naturally didn't know what she was thinking about in her head, but she was also wondering, why Mei Guifei Niangniang seemed to be a completely changed person, and there was no longer that amiable and respectable taste on her body, and now everything Mei Guifei Niangniang did, even her gestures, made Yun Xi feel scared, and felt that there must be some special purpose......

Zhao Peiyu thought about it for a long time, and finally came up with a feasible plan, when she told Han Yao all her plans, although Han Yao was shocked, she also expressed her willingness to take this risk for Zhao Peiyu.
What else can I do if I don't do this, after all, Zhao Peiyu is the county lord who has served Han Yao since she was a child, and she is also the only maid who accompanied Zhao Peiyu from Shu to marry into the East Palace of Shangjing City, if she didn't even help her, then who else would help her?
Thinking about what was about to happen, Zhao Peiyu was nervous and nervous, she was worried that the bag of poison would be discovered before Qi Jingqin ate it, after all, there were many people at the spring banquet, and she had no chance to touch it before the dishes came up, so it meant that she had to do something in the spring banquet.
Zhao Peiyu is not worried about being discovered, but what is her identity, the crown princess of the East Palace, her words and deeds represent the East Palace and symbolize the prince, if you want to say that what she does has nothing to do with the prince, who will believe it?
But this matter has to be done, even Zhao Peiyu heard the rumors above the court, Qi Jingyang, the prince of the East Palace, existed in name only, everyone went to Qi Jingqin, and they all said that Qi Jingqin was the uncrowned king and the prince in the emperor's mind......
