Chapter 251: Poetry

Because the king of Wei returned to the court with a great victory, the emperor specially held a banquet for him, inviting the family in Beijing and the ministers of the imperial court to attend.

Xu Huaiqing is one of the important figures on this expedition, and naturally he is also invited. I just didn't expect that white. Meng Ting also appeared at the banquet, Bai Jiujiu understood after a little thought, now that the Bai family and the prince are close, and the prince is eager to employ people because of King Wei's sharpness, he naturally looks at the Bai family who took the initiative to take refuge. Meng Ting's entry into the palace is just a matter of one sentence.

seemed to notice Bai Jiujiu's gaze. Meng Ting looked over and gave her a defiant look, and the corners of her mouth hooked up a weird smile.

Bai Jiujiu frowned slightly, white. Meng Ting demonstrated to her that she could understand, but ...... What's going on with this smile.

She rolled her eyes slightly and saw Bai. Zhao Feihuai, who was beside Mengting, couldn't help but move.

"What's wrong?" Even if Xu Huaiqing talked to people, he didn't forget to pay attention to Bai Jiujiu.

Bai Jiujiu came back to his senses and smiled lightly, "It's okay." ”

The hand under the table was suddenly held by a warm big hand, Bai Jiujiu was a little shy, and subconsciously looked around, afraid of being discovered, looking extremely cute.

Xu Huaiqing didn't like it in his heart, pinching her fingers and playing with them one by one, slender and white. Hui's fingers were extremely smooth, Bai Jiujiu's face was red when he pinched him, and he glanced at him, "You don't want to be like this, many people are watching." ”

Xu Huaiqing's eyes were dyed with a hint of a smile, "They can't see it, besides, you are my wife, it's nothing if you see it." ”

Bai Jiujiu glared at him, his eyes were full of water, and he wanted to speak, with an indescribable style, Xu Huaiqing's heart trembled slightly, if it weren't for the fact that he was in the public, he really wanted to go up and kiss the beautiful eyes that hooked him.

The two of them were flirting here, but Zhao Feihuai was trembling with anger, his fingers were tightly twisted in the handkerchief, and his bones were so hard that they turned white, and he couldn't wait to rush over and prick Bai Jiujiu's hateful face with a needle.

But what kind of occasion did she remember, and she didn't dare to mess around, for fear of bringing disaster to her father and brother, but her expression was quite hideous.

White. Meng Ting drank the unique tea in the palace for a long time next to her, and secretly sighed in her heart that the tea in the palace was delicious, and she saw the queen sitting next to the emperor, dressed in gorgeous clothes, graceful and atmospheric, surrounded by a bunch of people who served, and immediately envied.

This is the life she wants, secretly clenched her fists, and made up her mind that she must marry the prince! After doing the psychological construction, white. Meng Ting turned her head sideways and found that Zhao Feihuai was still sulking, so she couldn't help but sneer.

However, he didn't show it at all on his face, but he still looked quite enthusiastic, and enlightened Zhao Feihuai with concern, and the two touched their heads, sneakily not knowing what they were talking about.

Here, the atmosphere at the table is very strange.

Because the emperor praised the king of Wei a few words, the prince's heart was unbalanced, and he tried every possible way to find a topic to attract the emperor's attention, and even in order to show that he cared about the people's welfare, he did not hesitate to talk about Hong in the south at the banquet. disaster, saying how much silver the court should allocate to go to the disaster relief, it seems that the emperor is mighty.

The emperor only listened with a smile and didn't say a word, and when he heard the back, there was no smile on his face, but he drank several glasses of wine in a row.

King Wei played with a cup in his hand, and there was a hint of sarcasm in his eyes.

The crown prince was anxious to curry favor with the emperor and establish his image among the people, but he didn't think about a problem, that is, the treasury is now empty, and the number he proposed for disaster relief could not be taken out by the imperial court at all, isn't this a slap in the face of the emperor.

But the prince didn't notice it, and continued to talk eloquently, the look on the emperor's face gradually became impatient, the queen was anxious, and kept giving the prince a look, and the prince woke up, quickly closed his mouth, and sat down nervously.

Only then did the emperor say slowly, "I have a banquet today because I want to have fun with the concubines and Aiqing, so don't mention state affairs at this time." ”

Prince Nuo should be, but a trace of unwillingness flashed in his lowered eyes, and the atmosphere was a little embarrassing.

Xu Huaiqing didn't care about the turmoil at the table, the feud between the prince and the king of Wei has been a long time, and the two of them can pinch each other at any time and anywhere.

Rather than caring about these, he cared more about what Bai Jiujiu ate, whether he was full.

Zhao Feihuai and Bai. Meng Ting obviously didn't understand this, the two of them lowered their heads, not knowing what they were plotting, and a sinister smile flashed on their faces from time to time.

Xu Huaiqing's gaze swept over inadvertently, and suddenly remembered what Bai Jiujiu had told her, Zhao Feihuai and Bai. Meng Ting joined forces and wanted to harm her many times, and last time she bought a killer, if it weren't for Bai Jiujiu's luck, I was afraid that he wouldn't be able to see her when he came back.

Thinking of this, Xu Huaiqing's eyes turned cold.

The atmosphere at the banquet has been strange since the crown prince was reprimanded by the emperor in a corner, no one dared to speak, everyone just buried their heads and ate, lest the emperor's anger reach them.

The emperor looked at the ministers below who would be able to protect themselves, and his eyebrows were swollen with anger. Xu was really in a bad mood, and after a few bites of lazily, he decided to leave.

At this time, King Wei suddenly stood up and said with a smile: "Father, I heard that Master Xu is talented and rich in eight buckets, and his export is a chapter, and his life is so good today, why don't you let Lord Xu compose a poem?" ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone looked at Xu Huaiqing, and wondered very much, didn't King Wei have a good relationship with Xu Huaiqing, it was rumored that Xu Huaiqing had also joined King Wei's faction, how could he say these words in public today.

Writing poems on the spot, a group of people is fine, if it is a person, there is always a kind of being driven away. Sub on the shelf, pleasing the feelings of others.

On the other hand, Xu Huaiqing's expression was calm, and there was no displeasure, and some people secretly sighed in their hearts, it seems that this King Wei does not treat Xu Huaiqing very well. The crown prince and his henchmen were very puzzled, could it be that Xu Huaiqing really didn't stand on King Wei's side?

The emperor was in a good mood, and was very satisfied with King Wei's proposal, and stroked his palms and said, "Okay, Xu Aiqing is the promise of the Hanlin Academy, and it must be okay to make a poem, Xu Aiqing, what do you think?" ”

Xu Huaiqing got up and saluted respectfully, "Weichen obeys." ”

The emperor was even more happy, and looked around, "Then Xu Aiqing will take this banquet as the theme and write a poem."

Xu Huaiqing thought about it for a while, and then he had a number in his heart, and there was almost no pause, and a seven-character poem had already been completed. Xu Huaiqing's voice was clear, and when he read the poem, he was slightly low, and no one at the table spoke for a while, whether he understood or not, he all listened carefully with his ears pricked up.

At first, there were some people who were waiting to see Xu Huaiqing's jokes, but after hearing the poems he composed, they were already convinced.
