Chapter 110: The Palace Banquet
What Shen Xi usually looks down on the most is this kind of person who thinks that he is the first in the world with a few dollars, what kind of ability is it to bully the weak?
After Helanzhi left, the bookstore was able to regain its calm.
Shen Xi was busy until the evening, and the moment the bookstore closed, the whole world was quiet, and Shen Xi lay on the chair like a tired ghost.
"You girl who hasn't come out of the cabinet, can you be more elegant?" Shen Fang really didn't complain, and Shen Xi felt uncomfortable in his heart.
Shen Xi sat up straight with great difficulty, "There are no outsiders here." ”
"Don't you pay attention to your image without outsiders? You think you're still the same as before, swaggering and doing whatever you want. Shen Fang glanced at Shen Xi and reprimanded again.
Shen Xi was speechless by Shen Fang's words, and she had to flee from this place quickly, so she trotted upstairs as soon as she slipped away.
Since the "Mythical Five Loves" came out, Shen Xi basically hasn't closed her eyes much, and her reputation has become famous throughout the capital and abroad, and when it comes to Shen Xi, everyone will get together and chat for a while.
And Shen Xi is even more terrible when she goes out, there are many fanatical fans who are chasing her, saying that they want to watch the second part, she hasn't started the second part yet, where can she come out so soon.
Shen Xi looked at the group of fans behind him, and ran with enough strength, for fear that he would be caught up and then the previous stampede would happen again. If her face is stepped on again, it is estimated that she will be really disfigured.
Fortunately, I met Lu Qingyi, blocked the road to save him, and hugged her lazily to the roof, which can be regarded as escaping.
Shen Xi took a deep breath and saw the book fans looking up at her underground, "It's so dangerous." ”
"Your book, recently spread in the capital, many families around me are chasing your book, crying while reading, you thing, is it really so miserable?" Lu Qingyi questioned Shen Xi's book, he really couldn't understand a person who could make himself cry when he read a book.
"I don't know if it's miserable or not, I just know that if I write a book, as long as I render the atmosphere properly and can resonate, it's good." Shen Xi has read a lot of abuse articles before, it is really sadistic, while scolding the author for being a stepmother, she read it with tears, she has chased books, so she can understand this feeling of love and hate.
Besides, her book is still based on the classics, so naturally it will not be far off.
"How do you have time to wander the streets today?" Shen Xi looked Lu Qingyi up and down, looking very leisurely.
"If you want to shop, you can go shopping."
Shen Xi was choked by Lu Qingyi's light voice.
She didn't speak, she stood on the roof, looking down at the people coming and going, and shouting, everyone was working hard for life, and in this way, everyone was equal.
But in fact, from the moment people are born, they are divided into three, six, nine and so on.
"It's the palace banquet in a few days, do you want to go?" Lu Qingyi stared at Shen Xi as he spoke.
Shen Xi knew that every time Lu Qingyi asked her if she wanted to go, she actually had one meaning, she had to go, she looked at Lu Qingyi, "Do I have room to refuse?" ”
Lu Qingyi shook his head, "No." ”
"Then why do I have to attend every palace banquet? I'm not a very good person. Shen Xi really didn't understand what Lu Qingyi was selling.
"You have to ask the emperor this question, why does he call you every time." Lu Qingyi said and looked at Shen Xi with a meaningful look, "Did you give the emperor any medicine to make him like you so much." ”
"Drugged?" Shen Xi snorted coldly, "You can figure it out, he is a high emperor, and he doesn't need a reason to like someone." "She is not a fox demon Daji, if she could charm the king, she would have used this magic to charm the money of those corrupt officials. 518 Chinese Net
When he returned to the bookstore, Fu Chuan was sorting out the books, Shen Fang was also busy serving tea and pouring water for the guests, Liu Congwen was also there, he was drinking tea and looking at the books he brought, Lu Qingyi went over to chat with him.
All this seems sparse and ordinary, but Shen Xi always feels that these ordinary things are full of murderous and dark tides.
This road ahead is not easy to follow.
On the day of the palace banquet, it was drizzling in the capital that had been sunny for a long time, and the streets of the entire capital were also full of people, leaving only businessmen who were still shouting for survival.
Shen Xi's bookstore is not very crowded, and occasionally a few scholars come to the store to pick up books and drink tea.
It's summer now, but because of this drizzle, the weather is a little cool, and Shen Xi can't help but tighten his clothes.
When passing by the Qinglou, there were people coming and going, how many married men took this opportunity to pass the time, but forgot that their wives at home became yellow-faced women for her. The carriage was moving slowly, and Shen Xi couldn't help but sigh as he looked at everything on the street.
"What's wrong?" Lu Qingyi saw Shen Xi sigh suddenly, and sensed that her mood was wrong, so he asked.
"I just feel that it is drizzling in summer, and I feel a little depressed." Shen Xi looked at the drizzle, it was obviously not big, but it made the day dark, which made people very uncomfortable.
There are few pedestrians on the street, and no one likes to go shopping in the rain, except for those businessmen who sell small things, and they are afraid that they will not have income if they stay for a day today.
In the middle of his thoughts, the carriage had already arrived outside the palace gate.
The people in the palace were all walking with oil-paper umbrellas, and some were whispering.
Although Lu Qingyi does not serve in the palace, because he is loved by the emperor, the palace people respect him.
Everyone was seated early.
Chang Yi had already arrived, Lu Qingyi and Shen Xi were sitting next to him, and Liu Congwen was sitting opposite them.
The second prince and the crown prince sat in front, and the two of them sat opposite each other, but now it seemed that both of them were unwavering, as if they had never fought in private.
Shen Xi looked around, the ministers sitting here were whispering, they were all sitting together in gangs, so she had no way of knowing what they were talking about.
But she knew that this palace was full of man-eating demons.
The emperor and the queen sat on a high place, and there were Chen Guifei next to them, as well as several other more favored concubines. The harem concubines, who can sit here to participate in the palace banquet, are not simple, and the rest may not have been touched by the emperor.
Shen Xi couldn't help but feel sad for them.
Being selected to be a concubine in the palace sounds like a particularly glorious thing, but in fact, it is just sitting on a cold bench in the palace.
has been locked in this palace wall all his life, and he will never see the light of day outside.
This palace banquet has a purpose, and now that the border wars are raging, and there is drought in many places, the peasants have no harvest, but the treasury is empty, and if you want to solve these things, you need silver taels.
The reason why the emperor brought everyone together was nothing more than to think of a solution.
After the whole banquet, Lu Qingyi was eating his own, he was not a minister of the DPRK and China, so he naturally didn't say a word about this kind of thing.
