Chapter 35: The Trap

Three-dimensional facial features, sharp edges and corners. The sword eyebrows that flew obliquely into the sideburns, the deep black eyes, the handsome and straight nose, the beautiful lines, the moist lips, and the handsome and evil face, were pouting with a dissolute smile. And Xuanyuan Yichen is standing here, which perfectly interprets what it means to be suave and suave, a talent.

It was not the first time Liu Qingyan had seen Xuanyuan Yichen, but every time he saw it, he still couldn't control his heart from beating faster. Concubine Gao was even more stunned, Xuanyuan Yixing can be regarded as a dragon and phoenix among people, but compared to Xuanyuan Yichen, it is also slightly insufficient. She never thought that the legendary ugly and lascivious idle king, after taking off his mask, would be such a fairy-like figure. She was even more angry, Liu Qingyan in the past was all played by her, but she actually let the blind cat who signed the contract bump into a dead mouse, and she added fuel to the fire. Why can Liu Qingyan have such good luck, she is unwilling!

Xuanyuan Yixing also kept an eye on Xuanyuan Yichen, he had always been suspicious of Xuanyuan Yichen's poisoning and destruction, and today he saw the truth. Looking at it carefully, the two of them are worthy of being brothers born to the same father, and there are indeed some similarities. But even Xuanyuan Yixing himself has to admit that Xuanyuan Yichen does look more like a king than himself, and it is no wonder that when they were still very young, the first emperor favored Xuanyuan Yichen alone. Just before the emperor died, he did not forget to give Xuanyuan Yichen so many privileges.

Seeing Xuanyuan Yichen like this, Xuanyuan Yixing clenched the wine glass in his hand, if it weren't for his mother and the control of the power behind the Liu family, he would definitely not be able to become this emperor. But now that he sees the true face of Xuanyuan Yichen, even Xuanyuan Yixing, who has become the emperor, is even more worried, this younger brother of his is not a thing in the pool, and maybe one day he will think about snatching the throne from his hands!

"Smack!" With a sudden sound, the wine glass in Xuanyuan Yixing's hand was broken by him. The noble concubine, who had been watching Xuanyuan Yichen intently, suddenly came back to her senses, and saw Xuanyuan Yixing bleeding from her hands and the remaining porcelain slag in her hands. Concubine Gao panicked suddenly, hurriedly wrapped Xuanyuan Yixing's hand with the silk handkerchief in her hand, and shouted screaming: "Your Majesty, your hand is ......."

Gonggong Li, who was standing behind, also let out an "ah" in a sharp voice, and then said: "Quickly pass on the imperial doctor!" Immediately, a palace maid and a eunuch ran out.

Everyone finally stopped focusing on Xuanyuan Yichen's face, and turned to Xuanyuan Yixing and his injured hand.

Xuanyuan Yichen and Liu Qingyan sat down again, admiring the chaos in front of them, as if this matter had nothing to do with them at all.

Concubine Gao was still chattering about something, Xuanyuan Yixing was in pain and embarrassed, and he cursed impatiently: "Shut up!" Concubine Gao immediately reluctantly closed her mouth, and the other ministers did not dare to speak out.

The imperial doctor arrived soon, his hands and feet were very sharp, he picked out the debris and slag in Xuanyuan Yixing's hands, put on the medicine, bandaged it, and the imperial doctor almost left the scene.

Everyone present thought that today's banquet was almost over, but Xuanyuan Yixing said: "I'm fine, you continue to taste wine and dance!" "Today's scene is not over yet.

Concubine Gao didn't want to end it so soon, she frowned, and beside Xuanyuan Yixing, she said in a coquettish voice: "Your Majesty, the princess's father is the most famous talent in Daliang Kingdom, and the princess's literary talent must be extraordinary." It's better to let the princess praise her and help everyone. ”

Xuanyuan Yixing glanced at her, and then at Xuanyuan Yichen who was seated down, and the latter's expression was obviously a little unnatural. Xuanyuan Yixing immediately knew, so he said, "What the noble concubine said is true! The princess must have learned a lot from Prime Minister Liu back then. I wonder how the princess plans to let the princess perform? ”

Concubine Gao continued to smile and said, "Your Majesty, there are so many ministers present today. There are also daughters in the family, all of them are beautiful and versatile, so it is better to invite a few official ladies to come and try it with the princess. It's no better than anything else, just piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. What do you think? ”

What else can the ministers say, of course, they can only nod. This is also a good opportunity for them, if their daughter enters Xuanyuan Yixing's eyes because of a certain feature, maybe she will become the concubine of Xuanyuan Yixing's side in one step, and his father will also follow suit. Why wouldn't they do it? The ministers all rolled their eyes and began to think about whether their daughters were the most beautiful, and which aspects of their daughters' piano, chess, calligraphy and painting were the most refined and could be performed.

Only the two protagonists, Liu Qingyan, began to think about how he was going to pass this hurdle, whether to continue to hide his clumsiness, or simply show his edge in front of so many people tonight. Xuanyuan Yichen even had hidden worries in his heart, stood up suddenly, and said Lang Lang: "Your Majesty, the princess has average qualifications, she doesn't dare to be ugly, and she asks the emperor to take back her fate." ”

Liu Qingyan also followed closely and said: "Your Majesty, Qingyan doesn't know anything, I'm afraid it will make everyone laugh, so forget it." "Since Xuanyuan Yichen is against it, then she will forget it.

Seeing this, Concubine Gao immediately smiled and said, "Lord, princess, you are really too modest when you say this. Folklore has it that the prince wears a mask all day long to cover up his ugliness. But when I saw the truth today, I realized that the prince was actually unwilling to let others see his heavenly appearance. In this great good country, who doesn't know that Prime Minister Liu Cheng, the patriarch of the Three Dynasties, was once a unique talent, even if Cousin Qingyan didn't learn Prime Minister Liu's tenth, there are always seven or eight points. Don't be so humble about your cousin, and let everyone see your cousin's talents! ”

How beautiful Liu Qingyan is, Concubine Gao grew up with her since she was a child, so she naturally knows it very well, so she will spend so much effort to figure out how ugly Liu Qingyan is. However, how stupid Liu Qingyan is, this is also very familiar to her. She absolutely didn't believe that Liu Qingyan, who was once so stupid, would suddenly become a talented woman in just one or two months. In terms of speaking, Liu Qingyan may be able to cover it up, but when it really comes to the place where she needs to learn, even if she is temporarily cramming, she will definitely not be able to hold it! Concubine Gao didn't believe that she couldn't expose her true face today.

Concubine Gao's goal is Liu Qingyan, who has been jealous since he was a child, and Xuanyuan Yixing's goal is also Xuanyuan Yichen, who he has been jealous of since he was a child and is now more jealous, so he aimed his finger at Xuanyuan Yichen again, "King Xian, it is rare for you and the princess to attend this banquet together today, and I also want you to perform a show to help the fun." Since the princess is unwilling to perform her poetry and songs, it is their women's program, and the idle king is a man, so why don't I find a few guards and come with the idle king, how about it? ”

Xuanyuan Yichen and Liu Qingyan's eyes were cold at the same time, letting Xuanyuan Yixing know that Xuanyuan Yichen was not disfigured, which had increased Xuanyuan Yixing's suspicion of him in his heart. They were also worried that if Sun Xuanyuan Yichen said that he didn't know martial arts, those guards might take the opportunity to kill him directly. Even if he wasn't so ferocious, beating Xuanyuan Yichen all over the ground to find teeth, it would be a big shame!

Xuanyuan Yichen was thinking about whether he should use rogue means, saying that if he doesn't compare, he won't compare, anyway, if he doesn't know martial arts, he won't know martial arts. Liu Qingyan stood up with a graceful demeanor, and said softly: "Your Majesty, concubine, it's better to let Qingyan compete with the young ladies and see the high and low." As soon as Liu Qingyan said this, everyone was shocked. In her simple words, there was a hidden smell of gunpowder, and all the ministers were human spirits, so they naturally smelled the smell of gunpowder. There are many people who have begun to secretly speculate that maybe they really underestimated the only daughter of Prime Minister Liu.

Liu Qingyan took the initiative to stand up, put himself in the center of the whirlpool, and saved Xuanyuan Yichen, who was originally in the center. The challenge has already been issued, and the ministers are naturally going to fight. Even if they are unwilling to fight, there are still Xuanyuan Yixing and Gao Guifei who are pressing.

Singing and dancing continued to fly in the banquet hall, but everyone's minds were no longer on the beauty and wine.

Finally, the eunuch came in to spread the word, and the daughters who came to "fight" all came. Xuanyuan Yixing nodded, and Gonggong Li immediately shouted in a sharp voice: "Xuan Ladies are here!" ”

Outside the door of the hall, bursts of fragrance had already wafted in, and with the call of Gonggong Li, the young ladies waiting outside rushed in. In the banquet hall, the clothes are fragrant and the temples are suddenly fragrant, and the ring is fat and thin, which is magnificent. More than a dozen daughters of official families, either down-to-earth and generous, or shy, and even more bold, looked straight at Xuanyuan Yixing in the palace with a pair of eyes. Seeing Xuanyuan Yixing's heart fluttering, and seeing the noble concubine's jealousy, he began to wonder if he had set a trap for himself and did not harm others, but he was about to fall into it.

When the ministers sent back to invite their own young ladies, they had already told them what they were here for. Now that everyone has come, there is no need to talk nonsense. After a simple self-acceptance, the noble concubine said directly: "Princess, and all of you, everyone has arrived, let's start the game." Qin, chess, calligraphy and painting, let's start with the piano! If she didn't start again, she was afraid that she would no longer be able to control it, and she would want to stand in front of Xuanyuan Yixing, and even more want to gouge out the eyes of the woman who was still looking directly at Xuanyuan Yixing. However, she had already remembered who this woman was, and she would not have her good fruit to eat in the future.
