Chapter 1208: The Emperor
When everyone heard the voice, their eyes quickly locked on a private room.
That room is said to be a wealthy merchant in Daqi.
But the guests in the private room never made a sound, let alone walked out of the room, from the beginning to the end of the Oiran competition.
Everyone couldn't help but speculate.
Who is sitting here?
Just then, the door to the private room opened.
A tall man, with a resolute face and a handsome appearance, walked out of the box.
The hard gaze coldly scanned the audience.
Song Qingyuan's pupils shrank sharply.
This person is not Lord Xiao of their family.
How did he ......
Before Song Qingyuan could come up with a reason, he heard the deep voice in the box sound again.
"All come in!!"
As soon as this voice came out, a group of visitors, including Song Qingyuan, did not know why.
Only Qi Xiangning's face turned white.
Mu Zhuoxi's face was also gloomy and about to drip blood.
As for King Rui, his face was dumbfounded.
sighed lowly, and said resignedly, "Let's go, let's go......"
Inside the box.
Cigarette smoke.
This incense is different from the incense downstairs, so much like the sandalwood used in the offering to the Buddha.
It makes people feel calm and relaxed.
However, under such low pressure, everyone's hearts could not be calmed, and even began to tremble.
Qi Xiangning's head was even lowered, and he didn't dare to raise it a bit.
After a moment of silence, the man spoke.
A deep and majestic voice said, "Who's going to tell me what's going on?" ”
The middle-aged man sat on the carved bench, and his gaze swept over King Rui, Mu Zhuoxi, and Qi Xiangning.
To his left, there stood two old men in their fifties and sixties, who looked quite dignified.
On the right-hand side are two people.
One of them was dressed in a strong suit, with a knife at his waist, as if he were a guard.
The other is Xiao Jingduo.
And behind a few people, there was also a servant who bowed down, serving tea and water.
He is not young, at first glance, he is about thirty or forty years old.
The point is that he has a fair face and a bearded jaw.
Looking at such a combination, Song Qingyuan's heart sank.
With a slanted gaze, he looked at Xiao Jingduo.
Coincidentally, Xiao Jingduo's gaze also looked at this side.
Song Qingyuan was overjoyed, and quickly blinked her eyes, hoping that Xiao Jingduo could give her a hint.
However, when her eyes opened, Xiao Jingduo had already looked away as usual.
It was as if the eye contact just now was just her illusion.
Song Qingyuan "......"
"Why didn't anyone speak?"
The man slammed the teacup on the table and snorted coldly, "Didn't you just make a lot of noise?" ”
"Rui Wang, you can tell me."
The man stretched out his hand and pointed at Lord Rui, who was going to stay out of the matter.
"Uh......" King Rui was stunned.
With a thud, he fell to his knees, wanting to cry without tears.
He is really dumb and eats coptis, and he can't tell if he suffers.
It's obviously none of his business, he ......
"Brother Huang!"
King Rui revealed the identity of the man in one word.
"This ...... This...... This ......"
"The younger brother saw that Xiangning and Mu Xiaohou had a quarrel, so he spontaneously stepped forward to pull the fight, and the younger brother ......"
In one sentence, Lord Rui put the relationship aside.
Hearing this, the emperor glanced at King Rui, who was kneeling on the ground, and did not call out.
Instead, he turned his gaze to Mu Zhuoxi and said, "You come on." ”
Mu Zhuoxi Obviously, Prince Birui came calmly, but fortunately he straightened his clothes in a tidy manner.
Only then did he arch his hand and said, "Today is the annual Oiran Conference of the Qunfang Pavilion, and the ministers come here to find Fang, wanting to spend a good night with the beauties." ”
"I didn't know that I was disturbed by the six princesses."
"The minister knows that the princess has come to this filthy place, and the etiquette is not in agreement, so he will not argue with the princess."
"So I planned to send a family member to escort the princess back to the palace, but I never wanted to be strongly opposed by the princess."
"Even broke out for this, and then there was a farce......"
Mu Zhuoxi said a few words, and put all the responsibility on Qi Xiangning, and picked it up cleanly.
After listening to Mu Zhuoxi's words, the emperor did not speak for a long time.
It's just a pair of deep eyes, looking at Qi Xiangning with obvious disappointment.
After a long time, he said, "The six princesses of the dignified Qi Kingdom actually forgot about the teachings of etiquette and righteousness and mixed up in the brothel of the Qinglou. ”
"That's what Concubine Shu taught you?"
"Are you worthy of the dignity of a princess?"
Princess?
Qi Xiangning smiled miserably, and a hint of determination flashed in her eyes.
The dark eyes froze, and he raised his head, as if a lone wolf was making a last-ditch effort.
"The son knows his mistake."
"The son is ashamed of his father's teachings."
"It's just that Mu Zhuoxi came, and Erchen came."
"Mu Zhuoxi wants to get the Oiran, but the sons don't call him Ruyi."
"Because the retainers are pleased with ......"
"Presumptuous!"
The monstrous anger, accompanied by the sound of the teacup shattering, interrupted Qi Xiangning's unfinished words.
Time ticked, as if everything had stopped.
Everyone hurriedly bowed their heads and lowered their hands!
Not listening to what you shouldn't be listening to, pretending to be deaf and dumb, is the long-term way.
However, after Qi Xiangning reacted, he looked at the emperor again and continued the unfinished words, "Erchen is pleased with him!" ”
The sentence finally fell, and Qi Xiangning seemed to have completed her mission.
looked at Mu Taixi stupidly.
While waiting for the verdict of fate.
Although she didn't know that the emperor would be here tonight, she did it on purpose, the purpose was to make things bigger.
Take her reputation as a bet, bet on her position in the emperor's heart, and bet on that trace of father-daughter love.
This is the only possibility for her and Mu Zhuoxi.
Qi Xiangning's heart is up and down, and success or failure is in one fell swoop.
She looked forward to it, and God favored her.
What you get is, "Nonsense! ”
The emperor slapped his palm on the table, and stood up vigorously, his eyes full of anger.
Pointing at Qi Xiangning and reprimanding, "The princess of a country is disregarded for her shame and puts the man she likes on her lips." ”
"Qi Xiangning, I look at your rules over the years, you have learned in vain!"
"Little Dezi!" The emperor shouted.
"The minions are here!"
The father-in-law, who was serving behind him, immediately stepped forward.
"Go!" The emperor stretched out his hand and kept saying, "Take her back to the palace for me and be grounded for three months." ”
"Also, the concubine is not strict with her goddaughter, so she will be grounded together."
"When will the six princesses be taught well, and when will the ban be lifted."
"If you die without repentance......
The emperor said, and glanced at Qi Xiangning deeply.
"Then for the rest of my life, I won't be allowed to step out of the palace gate for half a step!"
"Father! Emperor! ”
A tear ran down the corner of his eye.
Qi Xiangning shouted sadness, despair, and helplessness.
He couldn't help but die and shouted, "You are not only a king, you are also a father. ”
The emperor was stunned.
Oh, yes! He was a father, but he was still the king of a country.
He is the king first and then the father.
A touch of distress flashed in the emperor's eyes, and he quickly hardened his heart.
Don't look over, as if impatiently, wave your hand and say, "Take it down!" ”
"Father!"
"Father!"
"You can't do that!"
"Xiangning just wants to marry the person she likes, what's wrong?"
"Why do you want to fight around the palace and put it on a woman?"
"Father!"
"Father!"
Qi Xiangning struggled.
At this time, the man who had been standing coldly behind the emperor and acting as a guard stepped forward.
said, "Princess, I'm sorry......"
