Chapter 340: Needle Tip to Mai Mang
Obviously he used to be so weak and deceitful, why did he become so sharp and understand so many things now.
Xuanyuan Qi's expression was dark and uncertain, looking at the woman walking around the stage, and his eyes were staring straight at her.
Interesting, really interesting!
Shen Ruoxiao: How many unknown secrets are hidden in you?
Suddenly, a girl put a fruit bowl in front of the two of them, and her voice was soft and sweet.
"Taste these fruits, two."
Xuanyuan Qi was interested, picked up a piece, tasted it, and then the corners of his mouth raised slightly.
The entrance is sweet, and the fruit that comes from the tribute of neighboring countries is not bad.
Shen Ruohan swallowed a bite, only to feel that it was delicious.
Unconsciously, she ate all the fruits one by one, and the sweet fragrance lingered in her mouth.
However, his expression was a little unpredictable, and his hand holding the toothpick tightened.
The aroma of the food stimulates her taste buds and stimulates her brain.
The delicious food made her stare at Shen Ruoxiao with a hint of viciousness in her eyes, and her expression was slightly distorted.
Damn, Shen Ruoxiao, she never gave her these good things!
What made her even more unbearable was that Shen Ruoxiao, a woman, must have secretly hidden the secret recipe of the Shen family, otherwise she would definitely not have this level.
On the other hand, there was a bustling crowd of people, and there was an endless stream of lively discussions.
They eat the fruit in their hands, their mouths stained with juice, and their smiles are contented.
Xuanyuan Qi hung his head slightly, and his eyes were full of complex colors.
His fingers swirled around the toothpick, and his fingertips swirled rapidly, leaving only an afterimage.
"Lord Wang, how can Princess Hao be like this?" Shen Ruohan's aggrieved voice sounded in his ears.
Hearing this, he hid a trace of impatience in his eyes and rolled his eyes indifferently.
"What's wrong with her?"
"She obviously has such high-quality fruits, but she is willing to give them to so many civilians for nothing, and she is not willing to send a little to the prince's mansion, so that me, who is a sister, can taste it, she obviously doesn't treat me as a sister."
Shen Ruohan said with a sad face, quite indignant.
"Good, don't be angry, when the king goes back, he will ask someone to send all the delicious fruits in the capital to the prince's mansion, how about you eat enough?"
Xuanyuan coaxed the people beside him and pinched her white and pink face as if he were doting.
Hearing this, Shen Ruihan burst into tears and laughed, and snuggled into Xuanyuan Qi's arms.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince treats Han'er very well."
"Alright, it's time for us to go, you're going to be too bone-bound to stay outside for so long."
He said as he held the woman next to him, his posture quite gentle.
It's just that in an instant, the look hidden in his eyes is not at all as warm as it seems.
Looking at the delicate woman beside him, Xuanyuan Qi felt a slight strangeness lingering in the depths of his heart.
is also Miss Shen Fu, but Shen Ruoxiao and this pampered Miss are not at all like being born and raised together.
Shen Ruoxiao is not shocked by the honor and disgrace in the encounter, and his courage and talent are even more than that of men.
In these delicate and delicate ladies in the capital, among the young ladies, she is like a vigorous bamboo, tenacious and unyielding.
Xuanyuan Qi's afterglow passed through the crowd, glancing in the direction of Shen Ruoxiao from time to time.
How could he not have noticed that she was so special?
Suddenly, there was a feeling of emptiness in his heart, as if something important had been lost.
What made him even more uncomfortable was that this thing he couldn't let go of actually fell into Xuanyuan Hao's hands.
Seeing Xuanyuan Qi's thoughts drifting away, Shen Ruohan couldn't help but call softly with some concern.
"His Royal Highness the Prince, why didn't you answer my words?" The woman next to him tugged at his arm.
Xuanyuan Qi came back to his senses at this time, and a gentle smile was put on his face again.
"I'm sorry, this palace just thought of some political affairs, and I was fascinated for a while."
The crowd on the ground is very lively, and the high-rise buildings not far away are very lonely compared to here.
Two pots of peony flowers were placed on the ground, and two men stood on the turmeric carpet.
A man in white, wearing a pure white mask on his face, with his hands behind his back, exuding a cold momentum.
It's just that his bare eyes are not as cold as the momentum, with a strong sense of interest.
Xuanyuan Hao stood with his hands in his hands, leaning on the corner of the railing, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but raise high.
This girl is quite good at tossing!
"Lord Wang, if you are tempted by the princess, why don't you go down and watch it directly?" Skyshadow stood behind him, daring to tease.
Hearing this, Xuanyuan Hao chuckled, and his low laughter seemed to be intoxicating, as if he was touching his chin with pleasure.
"Are you kidding this king?"
"How dare you," Tianying showed a smile, with a hint of fun, "It's just that I didn't expect the prince to see all kinds of flowers, and he was really tempted." ”
Xuanyuan Hao glanced at him, his eyebrows under the mask were finely adjusted, and his tone was brisk and proud.
"This king is not only tempted by this flower, but also has this flower, the food made by the princess of this king a few days ago is really delicious, and the fragrance of the concubine is really good, some people, they don't even have a girl of their heart, and they are still teasing others here."
Speaking of the back, he touched his chest as if he was very sad, and the pity in his eyes was very lacking. Wanshulou
Celestial Shadow, who was stuffed with a handful of dog food and disgusted that she didn't find the girl, looked a little embarrassed.
Seeing that Tianying was deflated, Xuanyuan Hao was in a good mood, and he turned around and stared at the woman below with tenderness.
Naturally, his woman can't be ordinary.
At this time, the imperial palace was shrouded in a layer of dark clouds, especially the emperor's palace.
The fragrance of the palace medicine is surging, with a bitter taste.
The doctors went in and out, their expressions all serious.
Wearing a white midcoat made of silk, the emperor was half-lying on it, his pale face was not bloodshot, his eyes were half-knocked, and his eyes were slightly sloppy.
Suddenly, a pair of white hands touched his cheeks.
When the emperor opened his eyes, he saw the queen with tears in her eyes, and his heart suddenly warmed.
"Queen, why are you crying?" He asked, in a hoarse voice.
The queen wiped her tears, but her expression was still sad, "The concubine is worried about the emperor, and she didn't stop for a while, please punish the emperor." ”
Hearing this, the emperor was in a hurry, and a violent cough sounded in his throat.
Seeing this, the queen hurriedly patted him gently on the back and gave him relief.
When the palace maids heard the cough, they had already poured hot tea and prepared hot water to wash the emperor's face.
"Alas, I'm worried, queen, you see that I cough every day as if I want to cough out my heart, liver and lungs, I'm afraid that time is running out, I just thought about letting Qi'er inherit the throne as soon as possible."
The emperor took a sip of hot tea and asked worriedly, his expression was blank and full of deep exhaustion.
Hearing this, the queen took the handkerchief and wiped the corners of his mouth carefully.
"Your Majesty, don't think about it, you are still in the prime of life, time is short, don't scare your concubines."
As she spoke, her other free hand was nervously rubbing the fabric of her dress.
Hearing this, the emperor grinned weakly, reached out and held the queen's hand tightly.
"Queen, don't comfort me, I know very well how my body is."
"The concubine is a woman, how can she understand this? What's more, the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics, and the concubines should be cautious in their words and deeds. ”
The emperor nodded, and was about to say something, when suddenly, the sound of hurried footsteps came into the hall.
"Your Majesty, General Chen said that there was a major incident at the border."
The little eunuch ran in, and the words spoken in the sharp voice of the duck made the faces of the people present change.
The emperor's expression was already a little comfortable, and he sat up with himself propped up, his tone anxious.
"Quick, announce him in."
"Your Majesty, the group of Diao people in Gu Aguo once again violated our borders, and even said unashamedly that they want us to give them more fiefs and silver, otherwise they will set foot on our country."
General Chen said with great hatred, so angry that the muscles on his face were shaking.
The emperor was shocked, "...... you say"
He had only said two words, and he was in a hurry, and a mouthful of blood spurted out.
Seeing this, a trace of panic appeared on the queen's face, and she quickly knelt on the ground.
"Your Majesty, how are you?" The queen kept wiping the corners of the emperor's mouth with a hand towel, "Quick...... Tell the Imperial Doctor! ”
When she saw the bright red blood sprayed on the brocade quilt in front of her, showing a puddle of dirty black, the queen's brows tightened.
It seems that the emperor may not last long, and she has to inform Qi'er quickly.
Suddenly, the emperor coughed violently again, as loud as tearing his heart out.
The queen stabilized her mind, and Qianqianyu's hand patted on the emperor's back.
Immediately, the Emperor propped up half of his body and raised his hand towards the door.
"Call Qi'er and Hao'er to discuss what to do."
His face was very ugly because of anxiety and pain, and there was a sense of powerlessness in his voice.
When Xuanyuan Hao and Xuanyuan Qi heard the news, they hurried to the palace.
The emperor sat on the bed and looked at the two people in front of him with a sad face.
"I must know why I called you here, but tell me what you think."
Xuanyuan Qi stepped forward first, his head slightly lowered, and his eyes flickered a little.
At this juncture, my father is probably worried about the affairs of Gu Aguo!
"Back to my father's words, the sons think that Gu Aguo just wants a little more land and food, so it's better to give them to them."
"Oh?" The emperor's expression was scrutinized, "Give it again?" What if they re-offend? ”
"Father, Gu Aguo is a nomadic people, and he is aggressive by nature. However, our country has a vast territory, and the people live and work in peace and contentment, and they rush to war, working the people and losing money, and the money that will be consumed in the war will be several times the money given to them, and the people are the foundation of the country, and we must put the people first. Xuanyuan Qi's words were subdued and frustrated, and he said it well.
"Go on!"
"Moreover, there are no suitable generals in our court, so I rushed to attack, and the troubles that followed were heavy and heavy, which was really hard for the people."
Seeing the emperor's expression gradually loosening, Xuanyuan Hao's heart tightened, and the anxiety in his heart surged again.
Oh no, my father was coaxed by Xuanyuan Qi again.
He hurriedly bowed and bowed, and moved to the emperor's bed with a little anxiety.
"Father, the sons and daughters feel that it shouldn't be like this, Gu A's national style is rude, since they have given them a benefit, they will get an inch of sweetness, this time is a lesson from the past, in the long run, the battle that should be fought still has to be fought."
Xuanyuan Qi looked at him coldly, and only after he finished speaking, did he speak slowly.
