The evening of June 30 was settled, and the guests came quickly.

Even though Qin Buxian and I had deduced the way we acted dozens of times, when we saw Gao Shu and Li Jingtang arrive at the palace together, our palms were still sweaty. Qin Buxian was very calm: "Your Highness, don't panic, you won't miss this time." ”

I don't know where she got her confidence.

Fortunately, Wei Tian didn't come, and the palace sent a pair of turquoise Ruyi, six beds of snow silk quilts, eight sets of high-quality gilt boxes, and twelve sets of dragon and phoenix pattern silver plates and bowls - these last two are not very useful, Qin Buxian Ping Suli does not need jewelry or makeup, and none of the two of us can cook, and twelve sets of dishes will not be used up in this life.

I took a pair of gold ingots to my father-in-law who gave the gift, and my father-in-law immediately smiled and revealed two or three sentences from me: "Your Majesty is not in poor health, it seems to be the mother in the Yueliang Palace, which makes Your Majesty unhappy. ”

Oh, no wonder that little girl escaped, Qin Buxian said it really well, Lu Youyou reaped the consequences, it's really good.

The moon has been hanging, the banquet has begun, since I moved into this Chong'an palace when I was young, it is deserted here, today, it is the only lively in the past ten years, but under this excitement, there is an undercurrent surging and deceitful.

The king announced the beginning of the feast.

Gao Shu seemed to hear something, and first got up and apologized to me: "The old minister has been unwell recently, and the imperial doctor said that the liver qi is biased, and he needs to quit drinking to recuperate. ”

Where is he afraid of hurting his liver, he is afraid of poisoning.

I looked at his gray beard and said with a smile: "The Prime Minister is working hard for state affairs, so you should pay more attention to your body." It doesn't hurt to drink tea if you can't drink alcohol. By the way, why didn't Governor Gao come? ”

"Only respecting the will of the saints, the dog is still thinking about it at home." Gao Shu's old face was not half embarrassed, but was full of energy, and he had the potential to become a good old man. Yes, with the support of the Holy God not to kill him, he can safely meditate on the wall at home.

I squinted and smiled, and asked Li Jingtang again, "Can Master Li drink today?" ”

Li Jingtang made a very thoughtful salute: "Thanks to His Royal Highness, the villain has always been hungry for wine, and today he specially brought the champion red that has been stored in the cellar for two hundred years to entertain His Highness." ”

Qin Buxian and I expected it well, and when the two of them came to my mansion, they must be cautious and cautious, careful and careful.

The king waved his sleeves and said happily: "Okay, let's drink the wine brought by Master Li today." ”

Your Excellency, true or false, also rejoiced with this king.

After the three rounds of drinking, the king and the princess Qin Buxian began to toast the adults, and the first person to bear the brunt was of course Gao Shu. He was very guarded, and since he took his seat, he had never really eaten what the king had prepared, and he had not even taken a sip of the tea mixed with hatred.

Standing in front of him, the king picked up the teapot on his table, took the teacup and poured him a cup, and handed it over in person: "Prime Minister Gao, this king respects you a cup, you always have to take care of your health, and Dajin Kingdom will be supported by you." ”

I thought he wouldn't dare to refuse, but the trembling man took the tea, but "accidentally" his hand trembled, and the bowl of tea was only a bottom.

He hurriedly knelt down: "The old minister is old and old, his hands are shaking and his eyes are dazzled, please forgive your highness!" ”

This king personally picked him up: "Prime Minister Gao, don't panic, this king will pour you another glass." ”

Gao Shu also began to play scoundrels with this king, and the newly poured cup had just received it in his hand, his body twitched, his hands trembled, and he sprinkled a fine light.

I pinched the teapot, and my heart was cold: this pot could only hold three cups of tea, and two cups had already been spilled, and if he didn't drink the last cup, the king would never be able to defeat the old fox.

"Old minister...... The old minister is really not good, and he wasted His Highness's good tea......" He began to pretend to raise his sleeves to wipe his tears, "How can the old minister let His Highness pour the tea himself, alas, alas! ”

I took the teacup and was about to speak, when my wrist was cold, and it was Qin Buxian's hand attached to it.

She took the teapot from my hand, smiled brightly, and was gentle: "Prime Minister Gao, you are right, you are really a waste of this tea, the clouds and mist of Lushan that were just picked in early May this year were transported to the imperial capital by waterway, and it has always been a tribute tea for the royal family. You can't see the other gates. ”

But Gao Shu still didn't mean to drink it.

Qin Buxian took another teacup, poured a full cup in Gao Shu's teacup, and when he poured it for himself, he only poured out a small half cup. She picked up half a cup and smiled at Gao Shu: "In fact, the prince is very stingy, and Ping Suli is never willing to give me this tea to drink, and just wants to keep it for entertaining distinguished guests." Today, I don't envy Prime Minister Gao's light, I am fortunate to taste it, and I hope Prime Minister Gao will not be surprised. ”

I was startled, and before I could understand what she was going to do, let alone stop her, I saw her look up and drink half a cup of tea.

And after Gao Shu saw Qin Buxian drink the tea, he took the initiative to drink his cup, and couldn't help praising it in his mouth: "The taste is sweet and mellow, the lips and teeth are fragrant, it is really good tea!" ”

I don't think my face is pretty.

Let Gao Shu and Li Jingtang drink the technique of hating seeds, we have practiced dozens of times. But not once, it was she who deliberately drank this tea, so that Gao Shu no longer doubted.

Qin Buxian, she is bent on risking her own life.

"What are you staring at me like that?" Qin Buxian's repeated lies came easily, his laughter was light and bright, and even the pretended anger made others unable to distinguish it, and said to me, "Look at what you have become stingy, I am also a princess now, can't I still drink half a bowl of tribute tea from your royal family?" ”

I had no other choice, and despair came to me.

But she didn't continue to look at me, took my arm and walked up to Li Jingtang, picked up the wine jug prepared for Li Jingtang on the table, poured two glasses for Li Jingtang and herself, but poured the champion red brought by Li Jingtang into my wine cup.

"As an official in the same dynasty, Ping Suli is grateful to Lord Li for taking care of him, especially the last time Zhang Luosheng of the Ministry of Rites was married, the time was tight, and many things were too late to report and wait for instructions, and I also thanked the Ministry of Household for the convenience of the silver two expenses." Then I had to drink the glass of wine with the seed of hatred.

This time I stopped it, but she smiled sly and knocked my hand off: "Why, don't you even want to let me drink wine?" "Hand me the cup of champion red," Your Royal Highness will taste the champion red brought by Lord Li, and I, as the new princess, will do the friendship of the landlord for His Royal Highness, and drink the osmanthus wine prepared by us in the house. ”

With that, he poured it down.

Li Jingtang did not shirk it, and also drank the glass of wine.

Only this king, holding the hand of Zhuangyuanhong, trembled uncontrollably, and finally the wine glass came out of his hand, fell to the ground, and shattered.

In his ears was Qin Buxian's dignified laughter: "The prince has really responded to the sentence of 'broken' peace, which is a good sign." ”

finally stayed up until the banquet was over.

I grabbed a silver chopstick, almost carried Qin Buxian to the bedroom, my legs were weak along the way, and I stumbled into the door, I squatted in front of her, and my hand holding the bowl was shaking.

"You spit it out, spit it it out......"

Qin Buxian didn't say anything calmly, looked at me leisurely, and laughed softly: "I didn't eat much tonight, what are you vomiting?" ”

I couldn't help but reprimand her: "Qin Buxian, why are you still pretending to be stupid?" Seeing that she was unmoved, I quickly pinched her jaw and stimulated her throat with silver chopsticks, trying to get her to spit out the hatred she had drunk.

But she shook her head, held my trembling fingers, avoided the chopsticks, lowered her head and smiled briskly: "It's useless, as soon as the hatred formula enters the stomach, it instantly enters the blood veins and entangles the flesh, and I can't vomit if you ask me to vomit." Not only me, but Gao Shu and Li Jingtang couldn't spit it out. ”

The high wall in his heart collapsed in an instant, and every word of this sentence came from the rolling dust and sand like a knife. The last time I was so desperate was when Lu Shu was given death, and the result of this lack of skills made me feel completely sad. People's hearts are difficult to guess, and the will of heaven is even more so, which cannot be resisted, let alone recovered.

"You...... Why are you doing this? Why do you drink it when you know what's in it? "My throat was full of despair that I couldn't swallow.

She still didn't care, looking at her toes: "It's nothing, I'm just happy." ”

"It's nice to toss yourself to death?"

"It's about making the people you care about happy."

I was furious and condescending: "This king is the person you care about? Nonsense! Do you really think of yourself as a princess? Do you really think that marrying me is my person? What does this king have to do with you, and do you need to care? Do I have anything to do with you whether I'm happy or not? ”

She looked up and frowned at me, and the simple gesture seemed so difficult that it took her a long time to stare into my eyes, and then to speak, "You...... Do you really think so? ”

No, I don't think so, I think you can live a good life now, don't be like Lu Shu.

It's not pleasant to die cold, and you're so young.

Yes, I had thousands of opportunities to talk to her that night, thousands of opportunities to hold her in my arms, give her comfort, warmth and support, and thousands of opportunities to tell her that I don't know when and where, I also like her and care about her.

But I didn't do any of this, and I didn't say a word of these words, but intensified them, saying unwillingly and vicious words: "I really think so." Don't forget, you're just a chess piece, and when I get the throne, the first thing I will do is lose you, no emperor will be responsible for a chess piece. ”

She muttered: "The kiss we became actually doesn't count. ”

"Of course it doesn't count, who would marry a mentally retarded person wearing a wedding robe and riding a horse?! Unprecedented and absurd. ”

The sound of her teeth chattering was close and audible, and her fingers slowly reached above my head, and a teardrop fell from my eyes: "Then you...... These days, why do you tie your hair with the hair band I give you every day? ”

As soon as the words fell, I had already ripped off the headband and threw it into her arms: "It's just for those eyeliner." ”
