Time flies, and the palace banquet is imminent.

Xia Zhixue has no interest in this kind of banquet, and her current status is special, so it is difficult to attend the palace banquet even if she has the heart.

Simply, Xia Zhixue locked herself in the house and copied Huizong's thousand-character text with peace of mind.

However, she never expected that in broad daylight, someone would fall from the sky from her small courtyard.

"Who?" Xia Zhixue was trembling by the noise outside, and a few vigilant looks appeared on her face.

She walked out with a full stride, and what caught her eyes was a man with a black smile.

"Ouyang Huaiyu? What are you doing here. Xia Zhixue looked at the man standing tall and flesh and blood in front of her, and almost didn't catch her breath.

Isn't the door outside your house used for decoration?

Ouyang Huaiyu didn't see Xia Zhixue's rich psychology, he walked towards her little by little, and waved a set of regular clothes in his hand: "Of course there is something to come, don't you go to the palace banquet?" ”

"Me? Are you sure? Xia Zhixue's eyes showed doubt, she took a few steps forward, "You can also see my current situation, it is too risky to participate in palace banquets." ”

A man who was about to be beheaded swaggered around the table, and it still seemed to everyone to be damn with it.

Ouyang Huaiyu snorted twice and disagreed: "Don't talk too much, there is a good show to watch at the palace banquet." ”

Xia Zhixue was puzzled, listening to Ouyang Huaiyu's whispers, her heart was steady, and she had a lot of yearning for the so-called palace banquet.

At night, the palace is brightly lit.

Richly decorated carriages stopped outside the Zhu Gate, and out of them came a deep boudoir woman supported by a maid.

The faces of those women were different, and now those who gathered together to see were dazzled.

Ouyang Huaiyu's carriage was the last to arrive.

Other princes and officials like to bring girls to banquets, and the more beautiful the better. However, Ouyang Huaiyu, the merry nineteenth prince, made a clear stream this time, and the one who followed him down was just a waiter.

The waiter's appearance is ordinary, with sallow skin, a garlic nose where he stays, and his lips are very thick and a little pouted.

As soon as this waiter boy followed Ouyang Huaiyu out, he was afraid to set off an uproar, and the women couldn't help but start to cover their mouths and chuckle when they looked at this magical match.

Xia Zhixue was looked at by them like this, and couldn't help but turn her head and glance at Ouyang Huaiyu: "What the hell are you dressing me up like?" ”

Ouyang Huaiyu didn't answer, looking at Xia Zhixue's face after changing his face, his smile was a little uncontrollable.

"Ugly?" Xia Zhixue asked again.

"Are you alright?" Ouyang Huaiyu replied, and took out a bronze mirror for her, "I can barely see it, but it's okay, this king doesn't dislike it." ”

When Xia Zhixue saw it, her face darkened by a degree, she was so angry with Ouyang Huaiyu.

As the guests of the palace banquet entered the palace little by little, the palace added a bit of liveliness.

The emperor and the envoys of the various feudal states were talking in the study, and the guests were not allowed to disturb them, so they walked around the Imperial Garden and other places.

Xia Zhixue was afraid of being discovered by others, so she dragged Ouyang Huaiyu to a small pavilion with no one and sat down.

The two of them had just gotten rid of the noisy crowd, and this time another person with a short eye came up to them.

Xia Zhixue looked at the woman's slender figure, it should be a girl's house, and when she got closer, it was really unexpected, acquaintance! 117

"Nineteen Princes." Xia Zhiqiu's pace was light, and he twisted three times in one step, "Zhiqiu and you haven't seen each other for a long time." ”

Ouyang Huaiyu looked at Xia Zhiqiu's appearance, took a step back, and just nodded politely.

His retreat like this made Xia Zhiqiu's face a little unbearable, and he saw her pause and sit down in the gazebo.

Xia Zhixue also happened to be sitting there, watching Xia Zhiqiu be rejected twice, and couldn't help but chuckle.

The voice came out suddenly, and Xia Zhiqiu saw Xia Zhixue as soon as he looked up, and his beautiful face was darkened at a speed visible to the naked eye in this night.

"How can you sit here as a boy?" Xia Zhiqiu's eyebrows raised, and he was unhappy, "So I can't figure out my identity and stay in the palace, I'm really not afraid of torturing the nobles." ”

Xia Zhixue first glanced at the domineering Xia Zhiqiu, and then at Ouyang Huaiyu, who was calm next to him, and smiled: "It should be you who should be worried." ”

She didn't deliberately lower her voice, and her soft but pungent voice echoed in Xia Zhiqiu.

As soon as the words fell, Xia Zhiqiu's people were stunned, all the words were stuck in her throat, and she couldn't utter half a word.

"Xia Zhixue?!" She suddenly exclaimed, and the whole person got up from the stone bench.

This voice is really familiar to her, and it is clearly Xia Zhixue!

But Xia Zhixue was obviously ordered by the emperor to be imprisoned, how could she escape from prison and attend a banquet in the palace?

Xia Zhiqiu's eyes were thoughtful, mixed with disbelief.

Ouyang Huaiyu, who had been silent, spoke: "Miss Xia is confused, the third lady of your mansion is already a death row prisoner, no matter how bold this Wang Rao is, he definitely does not dare to compete with the emperor." ”

The contemplation in Xia Zhiqiu's eyes faded a little, she looked at Xia Zhixue and looked a little more carefully.

The facial features of this boy are all strange, except for a pair of eyes that turn smartly, the other places are not half similar to Xia Zhixue.

Could it be that you are thinking too much?

Xia Zhiqiu was silent, raised his head and no longer paid attention to Xia Zhixue, but all hit Ouyang Huaiyu's body.

Now Xia Zhixue is already a fish on the chopping board, no matter how hard she struggles, she can't change this fact, since this is the case, she Xia Zhiqiu has a chance.

Thinking about it, a smile that he thought was full of charm bloomed on Xia Zhiqiu's lips: "The prince atoned for his sins, before Zhiqiu acted too decisively, as an apology, it is better to ......"

At the same time, there was a strong killing intent in the study.

The emperor sat in the first place, and the next seat was some envoys of the vassal states, who looked at the emperor's thunderous expression and gritted their teeth.

"Do you have any objections to this gift?" The Emperor directly ignored their dissatisfaction and asked, tilting his head.

Not long ago, the eunuch next to the emperor read the gifts given to the kings of various vassal states this time, and in exchange for such a dissatisfaction.

Now, the emperor's words suddenly came out, and most people knew that this should not be a good fruit, but they were a little arrogant and excessive.

"Your Majesty the Emperor, I'm afraid it will be difficult to explain to the monarch if I take such a small gift." It was the envoy of Goryeo who spoke, and the yin and yang were weird, and the dissatisfaction could not be hidden.

As soon as he spoke, the other envoys couldn't help but turn their eyes to him. They never imagined that this would be so bold.

The emperor also looked at the envoys of Goryeo, and none of them had a good face.

In recent years, Goryeo's economy and agriculture have developed rapidly, which is enough to make them proud, but these are not worth mentioning compared to their own country.

A dark glint flashed in the emperor's eyes.
