Chapter 20: Princess Rujia
"Ziyan, don't eat any more! Everyone is looking at you. Ye Thorn leaned into Mo Ziyan's ear and lowered his voice and said seriously.
Mo Ziyan did not stop, did not raise his head, his mouth was stuffed with jade bean cake, his left hand was holding a charcoal-grilled leg of mutton, his right hand was holding a sea cucumber stewed pork tendon, in front of him was one hundred and eighty-six cold meat and hot dishes, seventy-four dim sum tea foods, two hundred and sixty dishes of dishes, the dishes were exquisite, all with pastel longevity tableware, silverware, rich and gorgeous, this is a feast.
At this time, the two palace maids who were serving the meal not far away whispered: "Who is this distinguished guest, three banquets at a time, and the cups and plates are empty! ”
"But no! He's not a human being, he's a human being who has already died!"
"So it's a monster?"
"Or else?"
"But he is just an ordinary person, and he has clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, and he is very good-looking......"
"What's the use of looking good, eating like this every day, apart from the emperor, which family can afford to raise him? I don't know how his mother raised him......
"Don't say it, this dress is either rich or expensive, maybe it is the prince of some country in the Western Regions. ”
"How can a prince go out on patrol with only one slave and maid to serve?"
"The woman with the bunched hair, you say?"
"Yes, I entered the palace with him a few days ago. ”
"I see that she is wearing armor, and she is definitely not a slave, but a personal guard. ”
"Guard...... Could it be that women protect men in the Western Regions?"
"I don't know ......"
Seeing that he still couldn't persuade the demon Ziyan, Ye Thorn gave up, but he thought that this emperor in the world was really generous and luxurious, and every day every meal of hundreds of dishes was actually a few chopsticks, and they were all fed to the mouth by the eunuchs; the palace where he lived was also extremely beautiful and extraordinary: the top of the palace was made of sandalwood beams, Fan Jin was the pillar, and the white jade was the ground, and there was a huge bright moon pearl hanging on the top of the treasure in the hall, shining brightly.
Emperor Yunpeng is located on the throne of the main hall.
As the lord of Kyushu, he succeeded to the throne at the age of ten and ruled for thirty-five years, and his body was not tall, his complexion was yellowish, his eyes were narrowed when he smiled, and he had a beard.
Although he is the son of heaven, he is not arrogant and arrogant, but elegant and humble, meticulous and thoughtful. Since he entered the palace, he has personally accompanied and entertained him, and he also assisted Ye Thorn to find out the details of all the guys in the rice soup shop, but unfortunately there is nothing suspicious.
Demon Ziyan and the four princes are located in the second seat of the main hall.
The eldest prince Yun Zehan is twenty-eight years old, the second prince Yunxin is twenty-four years old, the third prince Yun Zhongxing and the fourth prince Yun Hanzhang are all under eighteen, and there are 100 seats in the center of the main hall to entertain civil and military officials.
Tonight's banquet was set up for the first civil and military champion of the dynasty. This person from Zhejiang, surnamed He, named Xiaobin, sat next to the prime minister, with sparse eyebrows, dressed in white, dressed as a scholar, but with a long sword hanging from his waist; he had a straight nose and a slightly pointed chin, and was listening to the court music very seriously at this time, and seemed to not speak much.
"Ziyan, is the food still to taste?" Yun Peng said.
Mo Ziyan swallowed a steamed hump in one gulp, and said, "Chang'an things are really delicious! It's just that you have to eat a lot of spiritual power to feel a little more recovered, which is very troublesome." ”
"Haha, even if you let go of eating, there is no shortage of delicacies from all over the world here, and in a few days I will ask someone to send some flower cakes from Yunnan for you to taste." Yun Peng said with a smile.
"I have the opportunity to give you a taste of my Xuanyuan Yuan's raw leaves, Yishi and water spirit algae, and you can eat it once for a few months without eating. Demon Ziyan said as he ate.
"Haha, that's a blessing for a widow!" Yun Peng touched his beard.
Except for the emperor, ordinary mortals do not know that there is a world outside of Chang'an, including the prince.
The four princes knew that their father was cautious, and the background of the guests who treated them with state banquets every day must be extraordinary, but when they heard the word "spiritual power", they couldn't help but be a little surprised, plus Mo Ziyan just said some green leafy algae that ordinary people don't eat at all, and even stones for their father to eat.
Although he was full of doubts, no matter how much they asked, Yun Peng avoided answering, and ordered them not to mention anything related to Demon Ziyan, so he had no choice but to give up now.
Ye Thorn thought to himself that this guy Ziyan was really unsuspecting, whether he was talking or eating, he exposed the fact that he was not a living creature in the world;
Although the leaf thorn always paid attention to the color of the leaves on the belt and did not change color, the other party might be tempted with some higher poison. So she whispered in Mo Ziyan's ear: "Since Chang'an food has little effect on replenishing spiritual power, don't eat it again, do you want to be hit again?"
Mo Ziyan said casually while eating: "That's why I came directly to the palace to eat with confidence, do they dare to poison the emperor." ”
"Have you forgotten that the shopkeeper last time was not changed by illusion, but possessed? What if the other party possessed the cook in the imperial dining room or the palace maid serving the dishes this time, and attacked you alone?" Ye Thorn said.
"Aren't the ghost king and Yun Peng close friends? If I die in this palace, will Yun Peng still be able to get out of it? Full of thirst, he still hasn't stepped on this Chang'an? Chang'an's creatures are all dead, where are so many ghosts and souls reincarnated? Destroying the reincarnation of the Six Realms, he can't afford this responsibility!" Demon Ziyan said.
"I always feel that this matter is not so simple, maybe someone else ......," Ye Thorn thought.
If he knows, then he is an accomplice, and if he doesn't know, it is his negligence that causes the other party to take advantage of it...... Anyway, I won't just let him go after what happened last time!When I'm full of food and drink, go straight to his underworld!" Demon Ziyan gritted his teeth.
"Ziyan, you're impulsive again...... Let's wait until we get the Spirit Birth Jade, and we still have to be more careful now. Ye Thorn said.
"I'd like to poison me a few more times. Mo Ziyan said and took a big bite of the pig's knuckle.
"The other party knows that the water in the Horror Pond can't kill you, and he will definitely not use it again. Ye Thorn said.
"Don't be afraid to use more powerful ones, it will only make me stronger!" Mo Ziyan said and picked up a plum blossom bun and stuffed it in his mouth.
"......" Ye Thorn thought to himself, if it weren't for the fact that he had a big fight with Xin'er after the first poisoning, and lost so much spiritual power to himself, he should have recovered faster than the first time after absorbing the poison in his body, so as not to fall into a deep sleep......
Seeing that Ye Thorn didn't talk immediately, Mo Ziyan swallowed the bun and quipped: "It's okay, don't worry about kites, as long as you don't eat, I'll give you spiritual power when you're hungry, hehe!" said and turned his face close to Ye Thorn's ear, "Like last time." ”
Ye Thorn was shocked when he heard this, "No need!" After speaking, he immediately stood back in place, only to see Mo Ziyan continue to eat while smiling evilly.
"Next song, wine in the cup!" came the voice of the palace servant from the hall.
At this time, the ministers all rose up and applauded.
I saw a cardamom woman walking in outside the main hall, dressed in pink, with a delicate face, like a water lily that blooms once in a hundred years, and big round eyes, like pearls that have been precipitated for thousands of years.
It turned out that the player of this "wine in a cup" was Yun Peng's only daughter, Princess Ru Jia. Its music is very exquisite, a song in the cup of wine, sometimes noisy like a torrential rain, sometimes earnest like a whisper, the strings are exciting, the sound is moving. At the end of the song, she spread her sleeves and danced, her body was light, and her dancing posture was like a dream...... The pace is graceful, like flying, like walking, like coming, like going.
At this time, the lark on Ye Thorn's shoulder couldn't help but fly to her side and hover and dance, everyone's eyes lit up, applause erupted, and Mo Ziyan also raised his head when he heard the sound.
Probably because of the lark, she couldn't help but look towards the Demon Ziyan, and when the four eyes met, her eyes seemed to touch the flames with her hands, and she immediately retracted them.
Ye Thorn always felt that this Princess Rujia was very familiar, as if she had known each other for a long time, but she had never seen it before.
Who is she like?
