Reception Banquet (20)
The palace people rushed in and lit up a palace lamp. The curtain in the sky is a solid dark blue, and a few stars can be faintly seen hanging in the sky.
The nobles talked and laughed very harmoniously, Zhu Zhu was talking to the eldest girl of Feng Shangshu's family at the moment, as if she was talking about something interesting, and both of them had a delicate smile on their faces.
Sitting for a long time today, the Queen Mother is old, and her back hurts, so she went back to the palace first, and now the position of the Queen Mother is empty.
The eldest princess drank a cup of hot tea, and listened to the attendants reciting poems, all of which were made by the children who had been praised or instructed by the horses this afternoon. Hearing that the wonderful place will taste a few words with Empress Xu, both of them were outstanding girls in Beijing Chinese when they were young, and the years have allowed them to accumulate their talents and have deeper opinions.
"See the text and know the people", although this is not comprehensive, but from the poems and essays of some children, we can also get a glimpse of their hearts.
The eldest princess memorized wonderful poems, and the poems after the preparation in her heart must carefully observe the behavior and character of these children.
"That woman was so beautiful." Jiang Yu said stupidly to the audience.
Huo Shui'er followed Jiang Yu's gaze, and a woman in red was still on a big drum, with a solemn face on her delicate face.
There were more than a dozen women in blue around the drum, the blue was cold, but those women were smiling brightly, the red was as passionate as fire, but the women in red were expressionless.
Such a combination is so bizarre that it doesn't feel out of place.
The music is distinctly exotic, like the tunes of the Western Regions.
Ji Yuanyuan was talking to Jiang Wuji, and when he saw the stage in a blink of an eye, he frowned slightly.
Jiang Wuji saw Le and said, "I didn't expect that you could hear the music of Qiuzi in the court, and there were people dancing the dances of the Western Regions." โ
"When did the Workshop Division start studying the music of the Western Regions?" Ji Yuan asked the attendants beside him.
The little eunuch replied, "The slave doesn't know, and I've never heard of such a thing before." โ
Years of battlefield career have made Ji Yuan more sensitive to danger than others, and he always feels that something is wrong...... Putting down the wine glass, the sharp eagle eyes stared at the stage, motionless.
With the rhythm of the drum, the women in blue by the drum turned quickly, and she began to slowly stretch her body, slowly looking up at the sky, as if in a sacrificial posture, pious and with a hint of demony.
Emperor Xining squinted slightly and looked at the audience, and the palace people refilled a cup of tea for him, but he didn't realize it, and he had already seen it.
Kexin hid in the corner, and watched the woman stretch her waist without blinking, dancing the red silk in her hand, and immediately appeared, Kexin said silently in her heart. The best part of this dance is in the back.
The drum beat was intense, and the red silk in the woman's hand kept flying, and it was so fierce that it was thrown into the sky, and the woman seemed to be about to rise with the sky, but her heart stared at the red silk, and her eyes burst out with bright brilliance.
It's just that the red silk fell quickly, and before everyone could react, the woman had already thrown up the red silk, and her hind legs were raised, and the red silk was like having eyes in the direction of the dragon seat.
Kexin hasn't reacted yet, his face is confused, how did his movements change, did he change his dance temporarily?
Ji Yuan stood up instantly, it's not good, she wants to assassinate the king!
The red silk has reached the door of Emperor Xining, and the overwhelming red has overflowed, and Emperor Xining's pupils have shrunk.
At the last moment, the cold light flashed, "tearing and pulling", and the red silk suddenly broke and shattered.
Ji Yuan held a long sword, stood in front of Emperor Xining, and shouted angrily, "Escort!" โ
"Yes!" Immediately, a team of tiger warriors replied, guarding the concubine and Emperor Xining behind them.
There was also a team of tiger warriors who protected the ladies and girls who had lost their faces.
The woman in red was annoyed and angry when she saw that the blow had missed, and the dancers suddenly drew a soft sword from their waists and rushed forward in a strange formation.
This was undoubtedly a suicide attack, and the feathered arrows "swished" out, and before they could get ten steps closer, the dancers were splashed with blood on the spot, and their deaths were extremely miserable.
The Tiger Army was armed with the strongest bows and crossbows, and the iron arrows pierced the dancing girls. A noble girl exclaimed, frightened.
Only one was left alive.
The woman in red looked back at her sisters lying in a pool of blood, and closed her eyes in pain.
Ji Yuan stepped forward with a long sword, "You are from the Yin Division of the Western Regions?" โ
Hearing this, the woman who wanted to die with a sword raised her head and stared at Ji Yuan, the corners of her mouth mocking, "So what?" Is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince preparing to wash the Western Regions in blood? โ
"Yin Si burned, killed, looted and did all kinds of evil on the border of Great Xia, and today he dared to enter the palace to assassinate. Sin is not punishable, and death is innocent! Ji Yuan said word by word.
"You know what?" Wanwan was hit by an arrow in the leg and pierced the leg bone, bleeding nonstop, and the blood stained the red clothes strangely and terrifyingly. The smile lining the corners of her mouth was like a ghost.
"We are going to the Moon Palace of peace and joy, hahahahahaha......" She raised her hand and pointed to the full moon in the sky, pointed to Ji Yuan and said, "You are the devil, you are all ......" Her finger swept over Ji Yuan and the ministers.
"It's Yinsi, but he said that he crossed people to the Moon Palace, and he was crazy." Ji Yuan removed the long sword and punctured the woman's lie.
"You talk nonsense!" The woman was impotent and furious, her eyes were full of red, "I curse the Great Xia Dusk Monarch in the name of the Yin Division Judge, and I will not die wellโโโโ"
"Enchantress!" Emperor Xining was furious, "Kill her!" โ
"Hehe, I don't need you to do it." Wanwan fell on Ji Yuan's long sword, and blood splattered on Ji Yuan's black robe, blurring dark traces.
Immediately, a soldier came forward to drag the corpses of Wanwan and the dancing girls, Huo Shui'er saw it from his fingers, and Wanwan died without blinking his eyes.
The round eyes made Huo Shui'er feel cold in his heart. A cold sweat broke out on his back.
A beautiful reception banquet, because the assassination was covered with fog and blood.
Countless people have been held accountable and beheaded, and the Department of Teaching and Workshop is almost a major change. The generals in charge of guarding the palace were also given military sticks and suspended from their duties.
But his heart was limp and trembling in the corner, and it was over...... Her face was pale, and her whole person was like a ghost without an owner.
My dream of being promoted is a joke.
Until a eunuch stepped forward and said to her with a smile, "Lord Kexin." โ
"Oh, no." The eunuch Yin Yang was so angry that he raised a lovely face, "You are now a slave to sin." โ
"Father-in-law! Please, let me meet the Queen! As if he had suddenly come back to his senses, he grabbed the eunuch's robe and cried and begged.
"The slave really doesn't know!" Kexin cried out, tears staining the eunuch's body.
The eunuch pulled out the robe, and the two tall grandmothers held Kexin down, and he took out a tray, "The queen is benevolent, the crane top is red or white, the girl can choose by herself, and it is also very decent." โ
"No, I don't ......," Kexin shook his head frantically.
"What else can't the girl think of, Master He of the Teaching Workshop Division has been sentenced to death by his whole family, and Xu Shangyi has already subdued the law......" The eunuch said with a smile. It's your own path. โ
"I'm still young, my father-in-law will let me go, and in the next life, I will definitely repay myself!"
"Phew! Toast without eating and eating penalty wine! โ
"Our family is kind to persuade each other, and we have good intentions to let you die a happy death. You are still pestering, hum, if it weren't for you, a cheap, how could the emperor be in danger today? The eunuch narrowed his eyes, "Don't you know how much of a sin you have committed?" โ
"I don't know!" Kexin cried, and the bun was scattered because of the pulling, "Father-in-law! The slave really doesn't know! โ
"You can keep this and talk to Lord Yama." The eunuch said coldly, "Our family has chosen it for you, Heding Hong is refreshing, that's all, feed her." โ
"Woo woo woo ......" Kexin let out an impotent whimper, tears slipped from the corners of his eyes, if there was an afterlife......
"Queen! This is your banquet! โ
Just suffered an assassination, Emperor Xining was frightened, and after a little calmdown, he attacked Empress Xu.
"The concubine is guilty." Empress Xu asked for sin, after decades of husband and wife, she still doesn't know what Emperor Xining's temperament is? It seems that he is bent on the Tao and vainly seeks eternal life, but he is just greedy for life and afraid of death.
"Bang!" The teacup shattered to the ground, and a few drops of warm tea splashed onto Empress Xu's face.
"I see that your harem is not well managed!" Emperor Xining snorted coldly, "It's better to hand over the power of the six palaces to the concubine." โ
This was really heartbreaking, and the concubines knelt down to plead. Zhu Guifei was silent, and her heart was happy.
Concubine Qin Xian's words were sincere, "Your Majesty, this time the thief is really bold, my sister has been conscientiously running the harem for decades, and she has never made a mistake." โ
She paused for a moment and said, "There has never been a precedent for a concubine to manage palace affairs in this dynasty, and the concubine's sister has always been virtuous and virtuous, so she must be unwilling." โ
Concubine Zhu scolded secretly in her heart, with a sincere look on her face, and said, "Your Majesty is angry." Niangniang is the honor of the middle palace and should be in charge of palace affairs. โ
"Well said." The Queen Mother was supported by someone, slowly walked out from behind, and sat on the top.
"Your Majesty, the crown prince is still looking for clues about the assassins, and you will send his queen mother in the harem." The Queen Mother glanced at Emperor Xining and snorted coldly.
Emperor Xining saw that the Queen Mother had come out, although his momentum had subsided a little, he was still slightly angry, "The prince is the prince, and the queen is the queen!" โ
"Hmph, you're so majestic!" The Queen Mother scoffed. "Was the Assassin arranged by the Queen? If your pillow man wants to kill you, how long do you think you'll live? โ
The Queen Mother has not been like this for a long time, Emperor Xining is silent, but his undulating chest shows that he is not calm at the moment.
"Today's events are truly absurd. The palace is full of assassins! The Queen Mother patted the chair.
"The prince has been asked to hold the relevant personnel accountable." Xining Emperor Road.
"The prince is excellent, I believe there will be a result soon." The Queen Mother replied, "The queen teaches well. โ
"The concubine is terrified." Empress Xu leaned down and said.
The Queen Mother's words are nothing more than an affirmation of the unshakable status of the queen, even if she is not the queen of the Yuan, she is also the adoptive mother of the prince, the master of the middle palace, not everyone can step on it.
As long as the crown prince is still there, even if Queen Xu has no children, she will be honored.
Zhu Guifei was slightly disappointed. It's a shame.
