Chapter 186: The Dark Tide is surging

"Hahaha!" The emperor laughed twice on the main seat.

"Wen Qiao Shizi doesn't need to be humble, those mountain bandits sent many officials to solve it, and it only took you a few days to completely wipe them out, which is indeed very brave. In contrast, the third child is indeed inferior to you. ”

Even the emperor began to praise Wen Qiao, and the ministers below were naturally more flattering, and the faces of the three princes were so dark that they seemed to be able to drip water.

In front of so many ministers, the emperor actually said that he was not as good as Wen Qiao, as if he had stepped on the face of the third prince and rubbed it underneath.

The ministers also followed the emperor to say good things about Wen Qiao, and the ill-intentioned, scrutinized, and jealous eyes were all cast on Wen Qiao.

This is to push Wen Qiao to the forefront, Zhao Qingyan held Wen Qiao's hand with some concern, and some didn't quite understand why the emperor did this.

Especially to belittle the three princes to claim to be in Wen Qiao, it must be unreasonable, is it possible that the emperor wants to assassinate Wen Qiao?

Since ancient times, the dragon's heart is unpredictable, maybe one second it is five hundred intimate to you, and the next moment it can slaughter you.

"Don't worry, I've got you covered." Wen Qiao patted Zhao Qingyan's head soothingly, obviously sensing the uneasiness in her heart.

Standing up and bowing to the emperor, Wen Qiao smiled and said, "It's still the soldiers trained by His Majesty, if they don't rely on me alone, it is impossible to exterminate the bandits." And the third prince is the son of the true dragon, and he must know more about the way of using soldiers, and I believe that he will make meritorious contributions when he goes to the frontier this time. ”

Once again, the embarrassing scene was resolved with words, and the smile in the emperor's eyes became more and more obvious, and those ministers should say some flattering words in harmony.

However, the third prince's face was still not very good, his smile was extremely stiff, and the cold light under his eyes was almost overflowing.

The emperor said a few words to the eunuch beside him, and in a moment the eunuch came to Wen Qiao with two white jade wine glasses.

"The son of the world is as brave and good at fighting as Huai Enhou back then, I remember when I was young, the person I admired the most was Huai Enhou, and now that our generation is old, it depends on your generation to continue to work hard."

The emperor said, Wen Qiao and Huai Enhou glanced at each other, and they both took the wine glass helplessly and drank it all, the emperor's purpose could not be seen for the time being, and they did not dare to act rashly.

The third prince on the side suddenly got up, with an admiring smile on his face, but his eyes were still extremely cold, and he took a wine glass and walked to Huai Enhou's side.

"This time the son of the world is really brave, I should learn more from you, and strive to drive out the Tartars in the frontier and make a contribution." The third prince said, slowly drinking the wine in the cup.

When the two looked at each other, the air froze for a moment, and Wen Qiao pinched the wine glass to block the sneer on his lips.

The three princes wanted to lead the war to him, but Wen Qiao would not let the three princes succeed.

"I'm just a reckless man, where can I compare to Huang Zi's bravery, I should learn more from you." Wen Qiao said, leading all the ministers to the three princes.

The surroundings finally quieted down, Wen Qiao was just about to drink some plum wine, but found that the wine jug was empty, and Zhao Qingyan exuded a faint plum fragrance.

Zhao Qingyan drank too much plum wine, and was already half-drunk at this time, curled up lazily in Wen Qiao's arms, and from time to time he had to steal snacks and stuff them in his mouth.

really didn't forget to eat even when she was drunk, Wen Qiao looked at her dotingly.

The situation was extremely tense, but she was very relaxed, and she didn't care about the atmosphere of the sword on the field at all, Wen Qiao nodded Zhao Qingyan's chin, and let her change a more comfortable posture.

Seeing the intimacy between the prince and the princess, the minister naturally didn't bother them anymore, but the side of the third prince gradually became lively.

"The prince is young and promising, and he will definitely come back with great achievements when he goes to the frontier this time, so I will congratulate him here in advance." One of the ministers said, his gray beard trembling slightly.

The third prince changed his arrogant image in the past and looked very modest, "If you are lucky enough to get this position, you will definitely do your best." And I will learn more from Shizi, and strive to have half of his bravery. ”

The topic is led to Wen Qiao again, and no matter what the minister flatters, the third prince can always lead the topic to Wen Qiao, but the tone is full of admiration, and people can't find fault with it.

He obviously did this on purpose, and when the prince came to Wen Qiao's side, the two of them were extremely angry.

also wanted the third prince to jump for a little longer, but he died like this, and after the banquet was over, the prince and Wen Qiao decided to present the evidence.

Now that the emperor is still on it, it is obviously not suitable to directly argue with the third prince, and it is not easy for the prince and Wen Qiao to communicate too much, let alone those sensitive topics.

"Recently, there is a disobedient mouse in my temple, who always likes to do some things like to steal chickens and dogs, and even jumps around on the beam, disturbing people so that they can't sleep." The prince sighed and said.

Wen Qiao immediately understood what the prince was alluding to, and then she asked, "The rat is disgusting enough, but after all, it is just a clown on the beam, can His Highness send someone to catch it?" ”

"Not yet, but the cat has been found, and he can be caught in the last two days, so let him jump for two more days for the time being." The crown prince replied, and the two secretly glanced at the third prince.

Anyway, it's just a rat bouncing around, and it can be solved quickly, so why should they care so much.

The prince pretended to be chatting with Huai En, and after a few words, he left, and the rest of the development of the matter was all under their control, so there was no need to worry too much.

After the banquet officially began, the musicians and dancers performed one after another, melodious singing, graceful dancing, the atmosphere in the hall was extraordinarily harmonious, and the ministers, in twos and threes, gathered together to flatter each other and drink.

The third prince was poured a lot of wine by the minister, and his consciousness was slightly unclear, and at this time, a palace maid wearing a pink skirt came to serve him food.

The eyebrows are like distant mountains and daisies, the eyes are like rippling autumn water, the waist is slender, the complexion is like a good mutton fat jade, and the voice is as pleasant as a yellow warbler.

Although the third prince has seen many beauties, he still fell in love with that woman at first sight, and even sobered up most of the wine.

"Third prince, this dish is called Yueying Beauty, please taste it." The palace maid bowed slightly, and her eyes flowed.

There are many beautiful women in the palace, but this palace maid is very special, although her appearance is not very beautiful, but she has an elegant and calm temperament.

"Beauty?" The third prince said, "What a good beauty. ”

The palace maid blushed slightly, the third prince did not make any excessive movements, after all, she was still in the palace, and that woman was also the emperor's woman.

In front of so many adults, what kind of rude behavior was made, wouldn't it be to let the prince pinch the pigtails, and after thinking about it for a while, he decided to wait for the banquet to end and personally go to the emperor to ask for this woman.

Left and right is just an ordinary palace maid, even if she is leaving, it is not a big deal, the third prince watched the palace maid leave, and drank the wine in the cup in one gulp.
