Chapter 554: Insidious Stratagem
And directly opposite Drunken Xiao, is the position of Xuanyuan's eldest princess and concubine Bai Rige, although the two are not at the same table, but this does not affect Drunken Xiao's knowledge of these people.
For example, this Bai Rige's wife, Xuanyuan Yuchen's aunt, the eldest princess Xuanyuan Qiyao, is a person who particularly looks down on Tong Xiaowu.
According to Zhiminglin's news, some time ago, when Xuanyuan Yuchen just sat on the dragon chair, she searched for beautiful women everywhere, just thinking about stuffing these women into Xuanyuan Yuchen's harem.
One of the women is the sister of Bai Rige, if they can enter the palace, then in the future, the Bai family and the eldest princess of the former dynasty can also rely on beauty to give her children a long-term path.
But unexpectedly, Tong Xiaowu said "no", and her plans all failed.
Now there are still a few women in her yard, and she is looking for opportunities everywhere? Not only that, but she is the most vocal person among many officials who oppose Tong Xiaowu as the queen.
Today, he created an opportunity for them, and he looked back at Xiao Li, this round table was full of envoys from various countries, and everyone was sitting upright, and they were very well-behaved, but the people on the opposite table were relatively relaxed.
For example, now, that Bai Rige actually got up, hugged his fists with everyone, and went out to find a thatched house, and when he saw this opportunity, he also came out of the table.
This is the palace, and everyone is not allowed to bring any attendants with them when they enter the palace, so after getting drunk and leaving Xiao into the palace, he is single, because he is single, and it is a little bad to do some things.
However, he was specially taken care of by Xuanyuan Yuchen, and as soon as he left the palace, an old eunuch came with him, "Drunk and away from the prince, don't move around at will." ”
"This king knows, I can't go to the side, right?" Drunk Xiao said to this father-in-law, but his eyes were fixed on Bai Rige.
"Okay, the drunken prince, please come with the old slave, the old slave will take you to the official room,......" he said, he led the way in front of him and walked to the backyard with the drunken Xiao.
There is no such thing as a thatched house in this palace, and the official house is a thatched house for the masters of the palace, which can be taken care of at any time to avoid the smell everywhere.
However, in this way, there is a disadvantage, that is, when there are many people in the official house, it will appear a little crowded.
Although the palace officials have made arrangements for this matter before, however, sometimes, it is more or less necessary to queue up, such as now, seeing Bai Rige enter the official room, the drunk Xiao outside is about to wait, and the other officials go to the official room in other courtyards, and he is the only one waiting patiently.
"Drunk from the prince, if the old slave takes you to the back garden, there are more official offices over there!"
"No, the scenery here is also quiet, this king will be helpless to wait for a while," Zuili Xiao said, looking at Ma Gonggong, and the corners ......of his mouth hooked up with a smile.
After Bai Rige came out of the official room, he hurriedly walked to the front hall, and Zuili Xiao just glanced at him and entered the room.
Bai Rige walked through the small garden and was walking forward, when he suddenly saw a white letter on the side of the road, and the place of the letter was sealed with red wax, which was obviously an unmarked secret letter.
He looked left and right, and no one else passed, so he picked up the envelope curiously, stretched out his hand and opened the letter, and when he saw the contents, the whole person was shocked into a cold sweat, hurriedly found a place to hide, and carefully looked at the contents inside.
I saw that the letter said, I love Xiao Wu: drunk and parted, I don't see you in January, and I even miss it, today you think you are the queen, but I am thousands of miles away from you, and I miss you for a long time.
Thank you for bringing the dysentery pills to Zuili, because of your help, the drunken and watery patients were treated, although we will never see each other again, but our few months together will be the most precious memories of my life.
After reading these words, Bai Rige's heart boiled like boiling hot oil, isn't the princess angry these days that she can't find the handle of this queen from the countryside? Isn't this in their hands?
Just show this matter to the princess, maybe his own sister will have a chance.
Suddenly, Bai Rige seemed to see hope, in the future in the harem, his sister sat on the appearance of a concubine, if Tong Xiaowu was pulled off the horse, it was possible for his sister to take the position of the queen.
Thinking of this, he carefully put the letter into his sleeve and went to the front hall.
The men's dining place is different from the women's dining place, the east side of the front hall and the apse are all for men, and the west side of the front hall and the west side of the apse are all for women.
During the singing and dancing performances, the dishes were served on the table, the cups were pushed, and everyone ate not only politely, but also very detained.
Xuanyuan Yuchen on the high seat was Tong Xiaowu cloth dishes, "The queen is tired these days, eat more!" ”
"Thank you, Holy ......"
As soon as the two spoke, everyone below lost their voices, and they all pricked up their ears to listen to what the two said.
Tong Xiaowu sighed in her heart when she saw this scene, no wonder most of the people in the capital take the palace as the popular trend, what clothes and headdresses are practiced in the palace, and people outside follow what they want, and even people outside the palace imitate this food.
Now it seems that it was.
The emperor and the queen's every move, smile and smile are deeply speculated and observed by everyone, it seems that the two of them still have to be cautious.
Originally, Tong Xiaowu especially liked to eat this sugar crispy pork ribs, but now everyone stopped listening to this side secretly, so that she didn't dare to eat it.
I just symbolically glued the sticky chopsticks, and then I ate something simple.
But that's it, Mama Zhang next to her still coughed softly and reminded her to pay attention to proportion.
"Queen, eat, taste this, and this ......" Xuanyuan Yuchen saw that she didn't move her chopsticks much, and was a little anxious, so he began to pick up vegetables for her again, not only that, but he also glared at Mama Zhang behind Tong Xiaowu, so frightened that Mama Zhang lowered her head and didn't even dare to breathe.
"I'm full, don't bother the emperor!" Tong Xiaowu raised her hand slightly to stop it.
When Xuanyuan Yuchen heard this, he clenched his fists and sat in his place, no longer speaking, nor moving his hands.
It's just that the cold air on his body has slowly diffused, as if it is about to spread under the high seat.
"Your Majesty, you have worked hard for today's ceremony!" In order not to affect everyone's interest, Tong Xiaowu hurriedly picked up the wine glass in front of her, smiled at the corner of her mouth, and raised her glass slightly at Xuanyuan Yuchen.
The cold air on his body suddenly turned to clear, although the expression on his face was still indifferent, but his eyes had eased a lot, he raised his cup and touched Tong Xiaowu's cup, "Thank you, Queen!" ”
