Chapter 536: I Want to Kill You
The sun is just right, and I am refreshed. It's not a dark night with no fingers out of your reach, nor a muddled person with unresponsiveness and insanity. What Gonggong Li prayed in his heart was, of course, impossible. So the real situation is that the moment Xuanyuan Yichen and Liu Qingyan turned around, they had already seen all of Gonggong Li's reactions in their eyes, and they couldn't be clearer in their hearts.
It's just that Xuanyuan Yichen and Liu Qingyan never thought that Gonggong Li was such a good person. What kind of look and reaction he would have was also expected by them. Even if they actually saw it, it wasn't really unusual, and they didn't take it very seriously!
"Gonggong Li, you say, at this banquet tonight, what good things will the emperor prepare to entertain the king and the princess?" Xuanyuan Yichen seemed to be understated, and asked lightly like an ordinary chat, but there was a deep meaning in these words, how could Gonggong Li not understand.
Gonggong Li's body immediately shrunk, but he was not an ordinary person, as if he didn't understand, he replied respectfully and deformously: "The emperor prepared a high-quality wine, which was specially sent by the Mongolian Kingdom when preparing for the marriage between King Xiande and the current King Xiande two years ago. Just smell the fragrance, you know that this wine is a fairy product in the world, and it is rare to drink it. The emperor has been reluctant to drink it, so he thought about saving it until the special banquet for the return of the prince and the princess. Now, it's finally time to wait. ”
"Fine wine"? Xuanyuan Yichen and Liu Qingyan both repeated these two words in their hearts, telling themselves that such things must be guarded against, no matter whether Gonggong Li is really just talking about wine, or it is as if there are words in the words, there are other things hidden in this wine. After all, now they are in the light, and those who want to harm them are in the dark, and no matter what it is, they must be careful and more vigilant. Even if Gonggong Li didn't mention any "fine wine", they also have their own proportions in their hearts.
"Such a rare wine, this king must drink a few more glasses." It's one thing to think in my heart, but it's another thing to say in my mouth, between the diametrically opposite transformations inside and outside, Xuanyuan Yichen didn't show the slightest trace. Even Liu Qingyan almost took it seriously that Xuanyuan Yichen's alcohol addiction was committed, and he really planned to drink a few more glasses.
"It's nature." Gonggong Li agreed, but he may not feel that it was enough, so he continued to introduce what precious delicacies would appear at the banquet. Listening to the tone of his words, it seems that even the palace, which is the first place in the world where all the treasures in the world are integrated, can make these delicacies and put them on the table, it is very rare.
Even if Xuanyuan Yichen and Liu Qingyan hadn't eaten anything, they never cared about these appetites. Everyone has already come to the palace, and everything that should be known is known, and there is no way to know what is not known. They didn't expect anything useful to come out of Gonggong Li's mouth at this time, so they just chatted with Gonggong Li as if there was no such thing, and even more like a curious baby, asking "Can this thing be eaten?" "Is this thing delicious?" "How should I eat this thing?" At the end of the question, not to mention that Gonggong Li was timid, even Liu Qingyan felt empty-hearted.
It's like every day, Xuanyuan Yichen can find new bits and pieces from Liu Qingyan's body. In fact, Xuanyuan Yichen himself is not like this, and every day Liu Qingyan can also find a little new thing from him. It's like gathering sand into a tower and water into a sea, these bits and pieces are gathered, which also makes Xuanyuan Yichen and Liu Qingyan more aware in their hearts that they are more and more fond of each other, or they are in love with each other, and they have already reached the point where they have to be each other.
Although the hands are not clasped together, the shoulders that are tightly together, as well as the eyes and hearts that are connected, are undoubtedly the best proof.
The venue where the banquet was held was finally in front, Xuanyuan Yichen and Liu Qingyan walked in, and saw that there were already many people sitting or standing in the huge palace. It was not the first time for Xuanyuan Yichen and Liu Qingyan to come here, nor was it the first time they had seen these people, but this time, they were looking at everything in the palace with unprecedented caution and spirit, including all kinds of furnishings, as well as the people who participated in the banquet.
On the far side of the left and right sides of the palace are musicians playing music, and in the open space in the center of the palace, there are many civil and military ministers standing together in groups of three or five, greeting and chatting. Maybe it's still early, or maybe there are too few people, but there are already a lot of water, wine, fruits, pastries, and dishes on the table in the high seat. However, the seat behind the table was still empty. There was no one sitting in the seats behind the tables on the left and right below.
It's also true, the host didn't show up, the most important guest hadn't arrived yet, and the rest of the guests certainly couldn't just sit down without permission. If this is done first in an ordinary family, even if it is eaten first, there is no problem. However, this is the Imperial Palace, and the person who hosted this banquet was the supreme emperor in the world, and the most important guest was the now famous King Xian, so the current situation could not be the same. In particular, everyone clearly knows that this is a Hongmen banquet, and as a cannon fodder type in it, everyone is even more afraid to act rashly.
The person closest to the door first heard the sound of someone coming in behind him, and also felt the strangeness behind him, or turned around or turned around, and after seeing clearly who was standing by the door, his first reaction was to be stunned.
The person who was a little farther away from the door also noticed that something was wrong behind him, and when he saw it, his first reaction was to be stunned. It's like playing dominoes, almost a blink of an eye, and everyone in the palace either turns around or turns back, looking straight at the two people standing by the door, and the whole person stands straight in place, not knowing what to do or what to do.
Xuanyuan Yichen and Liu Qingyan slowly walked forward, and as their bodies moved, the eyes of the civil and military ministers who were originally stunned also moved. In this way, everyone finally reacted, and immediately someone walked over quickly, saluted them, and after that, congratulated them on their defeat and return to the capital.
It's just that the words of congratulations have not been finished yet, and the person who said these words suddenly reacted, the idle king and the idle princess are indeed worthy of celebration and congratulations, and it is not too much. However, this must be under the premise that the emperor has absolutely no knowledge, but it is clear that the emperor will know everything. Instead of offending the idle king and the idle princess, he said that he couldn't offend the emperor, so the ministers who were originally boasting and praising were all dumb all at once as if they had been suddenly pointed. At most, they laughed twice, and then they didn't dare to speak, for fear that the emperor who was not here at all would hear it, and then they would come back tomorrow to find them trouble.
Everyone just couldn't speak all of a sudden, but their feet could still move. So, it was originally that everyone was moving closer to this side, and wanted to get as close as possible to each other, but in the blink of an eye, everyone quietly retreated, and instead thought about getting as far away from the husband and wife as possible. They seem to be able to express their loyalty to the emperor in this way, and by the way, they also express their imitation of the emperor. How much the emperor hates the idle king, they hate the idle king as much. Or rather, more!
There are always exceptions, and this one is no exception! Just when everyone was quietly dodging, and Xuanyuan Yichen and Liu Qingyan were also sneering and watching, there was a sudden sound of fast-running footsteps outside. This is the Imperial Palace, and no one should run around like this, except for ......
Xuanyuan Yichen's mind had just flashed the name of this person, and when he was about to quickly avoid it with Liu Qingyan, he had already come to ignore it. The footsteps behind him quickly approached, and when the footsteps stopped, a figure rushed towards him. Xuanyuan Yichen's first reaction was to make a move or move his feet, he could effectively keep this person away from him. But immediately it occurred to him that he really shouldn't do this, and if he really hurt this person, it would be bad.
Just when Xuanyuan Yichen was hesitating to make a decision, this figure had clearly pounced on his back. Liu Qingyan on the side was about to give this person who dared to hug her husband in front of her a good look, but she just recognized who this person was, fortunately, her reaction and speed were not slow, and the arrow was on the string, but she had already taken the arrow back.
was able to get such a reaction from Xuanyuan Yichen and Liu Qingyan, just because this person was none other than Xuanyuan Yiyue, the eldest princess of Daliang Kingdom, the only sister of all their princes and princesses, and even including the emperor. Although this sister really doesn't have many rules and manners that she should have as an older sister and a princess, who makes her the only sister, no matter how unreliable this sister is, they still have to be more respectful to her as younger brothers and younger siblings. Compared with what the emperor did to their brothers and sisters, the things that the eldest princess did were not worth mentioning at all, and they were not worth holding grudges against.
"Yichen, it's really you! You're finally back! The words in the mouth of the eldest princess Xuanyuan Yiyue were still said to Xuanyuan Yichen, but her people had already sent to protect her younger brother's back, and instead kept Liu Qingyan on the side, and the words that came out of her mouth also followed: "Qingyan, and you, you are finally back." I want to kill you! Do you know that if you don't come back, I'm going to look for you! ”
Xuanyuan Yiyue said it sincerely, and her eyes even began to flash with crystal tears. It can be seen how much she really misses Xuanyuan Yichen and Liu Qingyan, and there is no fake in them. It's just that she didn't tell the truth completely. That is, she really plans to go to them, but she can't go to them openly, because the emperor will never allow it. In fact, she had already taken the initiative to mention to the emperor that she was going to the border, but unsurprisingly suffered a stern refusal from the emperor. Therefore, after being silent or "honest" for a while, she had already changed her mind and decided to find a suitable time to sneak out of the palace and the capital alone, and go to the border to find them.
