Chapter 255: The Incident of the Palace Banquet
Princess Pi and Princess Pi wanted to enter the gate of the palace, as if they didn't have to pass in front of them. Rounded an arc of the curve, this is deliberately to anger them! When the girls realized this, their faces turned red.
"Xu Shizi, long time no see." Shen Yafei and Xu Shizi walked in the passage of the palace, and when they were halfway through, suddenly King Lang came out from beside him, stopped in front of the two, and looked at the two of them with a sad smile and said.
Shen Yafei and Xu Shizi both pouted in the same way. Their disdain made King Lang even more angry, and he smiled coldly and said, "You wait and see." Wait a minute, you guys look good, huh! After putting down the cruel words, King Lang left in a rage.
Shen Yafei looked at King Lang's back thoughtfully. Xu Shizi pulled Shen Yafei and woke Shen Yafei from deep thought. Xu Shizi thought that Shen Yafei was frightened by King Lang's words just now, so he comforted: "Don't worry, I'm here, don't be afraid of him." ”
"Hmm." Shen Yafei nodded in response.
"It's a good year, with a good harvest and good health. I was relieved. Come, everyone came to drink this glass of wine and congratulate us on the continuation of the good year next year. The emperor raised his glass and cheered.
"The emperor is wise! Long live the Emperor! The crowd raised their glasses and shouted.
The emperor looked at the ministers and their families who were shouting towards him below, and suddenly a full sense of pride rose in his heart. This is the effect of his reign as a king, and he is indeed a capable king. The Great Celestial Empire should have benefited from his rule to this day. The emperor's eyes were full of the arrogance of the king.
At this time, Gonggong Li personally held a plate of chrysanthemum vegetables high above his head, and then handed it to the emperor and said, "I wish the emperor a thousand generations!" ”
"I wish the emperor a thousand generations, long live my emperor, long live, long live!" The ministers and family members below chanted after Gonggong Li.
The emperor's smile was about to overflow his cheeks, and the emperor took a chopstick dish from the plate. Then Gonggong Li smiled and turned to the ministers and family members below and said, "Start eating!" ”
The minister and his family sat back down, eating and chatting. Gonggong Li clapped his palms vigorously on the top, and a musical sound came in from far and near from outside the hall, accompanied by music, a group of graceful young women wearing yellow skirts, stepping on embroidered shoes in the style of rice flowers, and slowly dancing into the hall with small lotus steps.
It was a real treat to enjoy a delicious meal while watching the beautiful dances. Shen Yafei now put aside all hesitation and wholeheartedly savored everything in front of her.
Suddenly, a pungent smell reached Shen Yafei's nose, and Shen Yafei put down her chopsticks and frowned. When she raised her head, she happened to meet the deep smiling face of King Lang. Shen Yafei's brows tightened even more.
"What's wrong?" Xu Shizi quickly noticed the change in Shen Yafei's mood, and seeing Shen Yafei frowning solemnly, Xu Shizi asked worriedly, "Isn't the food delicious?" Or did you bite something? ”
Shen Yafei shook her head and didn't answer, her eyes were still staring at King Lang opposite. Xu Shizi looked at Shen Yafei's face, followed Shen Yafei's gaze, and also saw Lang Wangyin's deep smiling face. King Lang saw that Xu Shizi was also looking at him, and immediately grinned at Xu Shizi. However, the yin poison in King Lang's eyes was about to squirt out like juice towards Shen Yafei and Xu Shizi.
Xu Shizi straightened up and blocked half of King Lang's gaze for Shen Yafei, and also responded with a fierce gaze. Suddenly, the darkness on King Lang's face disappeared, and he smiled at Shen Yafei and Xu Shizi.
Xu Shizi sat back, picked a piece of stewed pig's trotters for Shen Yafei and put it on the plate, and whispered to Shen Yafei, "Hurry up and eat." ”
Shen Yafei put the situation behind her, lifted her chopsticks again, buried her head, and ate with relish. Just when Xu Shizi and Shen Yafei were concentrating on eating, King Lang's gaze like a venom fell on these two people again.
Shen Yafei and Xu Shizi always felt that someone was staring at them, and they were all uncomfortable. However, soon Shen Yafei and Xu Shizi comforted themselves that they were taken by a poisonous scorpion with a broken foot. Thinking about it this way, the two of them felt much better.
After Shen Yafei was full, she leaned comfortably on the chair. Just as her whole body relaxed, the familiar smell just now rushed into her nose again. Shen Yafei felt in a trance that the smell was a little familiar. Shen Yafei frowned and sniffed for a while, but she didn't remember what the smell was. At this time, Shen Yafei raised her eyes and once again saw the deep smiling face of King Lang.
Then, Shen Yafei's mind flashed a scene that happened on the street a few days ago. Shen Yafei immediately recognized what this strange smell was. Shen Yafei leaned close to Xu Shizi's ear and told Xu Shizi what she smelled.
Xu Shizi also looked up at King Lang and smiled coldly. Xu Shizi rubbed his fingertips on Shen Yafei's palm for a while, and whispered a few words to Shen Yafei. Then, the two looked at each other and smiled.
At this time, the song and dance in the middle also ended. Gonggong Li clapped his palms and reminded the people outside to go to the last soup tonight to dissipate food for the big guy.
The sound of footsteps overlapped, and one by one the palace maids walked past Shen Yafei and Xu Shizi with soup. On the ground, Shen Yafei tugged hard at the sleeve of Xu Shizi, and her eyes glanced to the right at the same time. Xu Shizi immediately hugged Shen Yafei's thin waist and flashed to the right in an instant.
At this moment, a palace maid carried a bronze pot and rushed towards the position of Shen Yafei and Xu Shizi just now, and the lid disappeared. Just as the palace maid was about to pounce, Xu Shizi flashed behind her and kicked hard. The palace maid flew from the banquet to the center of the banquet, and the pot broke off and smashed on King Lang's table.
"There are assassins!" At the same time, the prince yelled for the world to be chaotic.
The ministers and their families panicked. Immediately afterwards, the Imperial Forest Army poured in from outside and suppressed the palace maid in the center of the banquet. Shen Yafei and Xu Shizi looked at King Lang leisurely, only to see that King Lang's hair, face and clothes were stained with yellow liquid. However, when the two men saw that the pot had just fallen on the table, they both shook their heads with regret.
"Ahh A shrill cry resounded throughout the hall, and the direction seemed to come from the side of King Lang.
Shen Yafei and Xu Shizi looked up at the past very tacitly, and the two looked at King Lang's side very suspiciously, as if they didn't see the woman by King Lang's side. Then, the voice that was so sharp just now that it was difficult to distinguish between male and female, didn't it come from King Lang?
Shen Yafei and Xu Shizi glanced at each other, and the two of them shivered almost at the same time. Ouch, goosebumps are up!
"It stinks!" Xu Shizi made a disgusting look, pinched his nose and said painfully, at the same time, his eyes were still looking around suspiciously, "What kind of smell is this, why is it so stinky?" ”
"Gross!" Shen Yafei bent over and covered her mouth with a tacit understanding and pretended to vomit.
Although everyone smelled a strange smell, everyone's attention was on the "assassin" just now, and they didn't pay much attention to it. Now after the scream of King Lang, the scream of the prince of Xu, and Shen Yafei's vomiting. It was only then that the crowd seriously "savored" this strange smell.
"What does it smell like? It stinks! ”
"It looks like it's coming from there." A family member pointed in the direction of King Lang.
The big guys looked over in unison, and when they saw the embarrassed appearance of King Lang covered in yellow liquid, everyone couldn't help but "poof", but after seeing King Lang's gaze of wanting to eat people, they immediately swallowed back their smiles and retracted their gazes. Everyone also tried to shrink their bodies as much as possible, trying to make their hearts believe that King Lang didn't notice his ridicule of him just now.
"Alang, what's going on?" The emperor also noticed the situation of King Lang, and he looked at King Lang's embarrassment in confusion, but the emperor couldn't hold on to this smell, and the emperor pinched his nose as he spoke.
"Hurry up and take King Lang down to wash!" The last sentence, the emperor felt that it was a little difficult to say it, and he died of shame.
After King Lang left, there was still a bad smell in the hall. However, it is not easy for the emperor to arrange for everyone to go to other places, if King Lang knows about it afterwards, King Lang will definitely be ashamed of himself. However, you can't just let the palace banquet end, or say: "What the hell is going on?" Now you must find out to me, and if you don't find out, you won't leave! ”
The emperor stared coldly at the palace maid on the ground and said, his cold and piercing gaze scraped on Shen Yafei and Xu Shizi at the same time. Shen Yafei and Xu Shizi met the emperor's gaze frankly and frankly without fear.
The guards pressed the maid to prevent her from harming herself. The palace maid looked around in a panic, and when she realized that she had splashed King Lang, she closed her eyes in despair. Therefore, even if Lord Xiao interrogates her now, she is reluctant to speak.
Lord Lin on the side was still reminding him with words on the side, but unfortunately he seemed to have some rust in his brain, and his words both openly and secretly mentioned the grievances between Shen Yafei and Xu Shizi and King Lang. If Lord Lin said so, this matter should have been arranged by King Lang himself to frame Shen Yafei and Xu Shizi.
"Xu Shizi, Lord Minyi, why did you kick the pot on King Lang just now?" The emperor looked at Shen Yafei and Xu Shizi's eyes with danger, and he was eager to tear these two apart now.
After Lord Lin hinted to the palace maid like this, the emperor could already guess that this matter was arranged by King Lang to take revenge on Xu Shizi and Shen Yafei, but he was accidentally discovered by Xu Shizi and Shen Yafei, and finally reaped the consequences.
The emperor hated the prince in his heart, and let his son lose face in front of everyone, and even lost his own face. To tell the truth, he couldn't wait to correct Shen Yafei and Xu Shizi on the spot now. So, he turned the finger to Xu Shizi and Shen Yafei.
