Chapter 242: The Queen's Birthday Banquet (3): Wine is poisonous
However, Xia Sihan is really powerful, and he can see the material of this dress at a glance. Since it is a tribute, I think it was rewarded by the emperor. But recently, I haven't heard of any merits made by Murong Yu, how can he have this reward for no reason?
Mrs. Liu thought about it, but she couldn't think of what Murong Yu had been rewarded.
Xia Sihan knew. Because this is not a reward at all, but the people in the palace withheld the tribute and privately honored Murong Yu, and Murong Yu naturally didn't care about these little things.
"The Queen Mother has arrived!"
The shrill voice pierced everyone's eardrums, and Xia Sihan and the others hurriedly returned to their positions and stood up.
Dressed in a big red palace suit, a phoenix on his head swayed, left and right are cloisonne blue hairpins, a string of agate ear strings in his ears, and a little cinnabar between his eyebrows, majestic and elegant.
This red dress can only be worn by the queen, if it weren't for the chill in her eyes, which diluted a little of the demeanor of the mother's world, I am afraid that this sense of majesty will be even worse.
"Queen Mother Chitose Chitose Chitose!"
Everyone bowed their heads and saluted, and the queen glanced at everyone with a daze, but said falsely: "All sisters, don't be polite, get up!" ”
"Empress Xie!"
Everyone got up, and at this time, Xia Yingxue was still immersed in the praise just now, and suddenly raised her head to meet the queen's eyes, and instantly noticed her gaffe, and her heart was in her throat, and she was afraid.
"Today's birthday in this palace, I bother everyone to come here to have a lively time. Since Xue'er left, Bengong always felt empty in his heart, but now that he sees you, he has finally made up for some of the gaps in his heart. ”
"The queen mother and the princess have a deep love for mother and daughter, this time the princess is in harmony, and when she goes to the Great Chu State, she will definitely become the queen of the Chu State to be favored."
"The queen is so blessed, the snow princess will definitely arrive smoothly this time."
Everyone scrambled to please the queen, but Xia Sihan knew that she was actually complaining when she said so much. Because of kissing her, a mother, she is so lonely, and she doesn't have a daughter by her side on her birthday.
"Queen Mother, since you're here today, why don't we have a good time!" Xia Sihan saw Xia Yingxue stand up and took the lead in proposing.
A smile flashed on the queen's face, "Okay, today the emperor specially invited people from the juggling troupe outside the palace to come." Later, we can take a look at juggling, the so-called elegant and vulgar appreciation, just have fun! ”
The queen's words made everyone sigh, it seems that the queen is indeed a little different after Murong Xue left, she would not talk and laugh with these unpopular ladies like she did today.
Xia Sihan didn't think there was anything wrong with this, but he felt that the queen's temperament today was a little more bold than usual, but this kind of boldness seemed to be deliberate. Xia Sihan was worried in her heart, she couldn't see through the queen's intentions, but she could only pay more attention to her every move now.
Before the juggling troupe arrived, they still had to wait in front of the temple. The wine and food had already come up, Xia Sihan looked at the wine cup in front of him, thinking a little.
Xia Sihan found that Gong E, who had poured the wine just now, seemed to be a little nervous, could it be that there was something strange in this wine. Thinking like this, Xia Sihan hurriedly took out a fruit from his arms and ate it, just in case.
Mother Li was puzzled, and just as she was about to speak, there was an extra fruit in her hand.
"Eat it!"
Hearing Xia Sihan's voice, Mother Li didn't ask too much, and ate it as she said.
Regardless of whether the wine is really poisonous or not, the fruit is good and harmless to people. Fortunately, Xia Sihan took two Tianxiang fruits before going out. Otherwise, it will be difficult to get out today. After all, it is the queen's birthday banquet, and if you don't drink this wine, you don't put the queen in your eyes, just so that the queen can grab the handle. If she drank it directly, if the wine was really poisonous, she and Mother Li would not have died on the spot.
So while everyone was toasting, she secretly tugged on her mother-in-law's sleeve, Mother Li was puzzled, but saw her secretly pour the wine, and Mother Li immediately understood.
Xia Sihan put down his wine glass and looked at the queen, who did not react. But when her eyes swept to Xia Yingxue, she found a touch of panic on Xia Yingxue's face.
That's right! Sure enough, it was her, but what the hell did she want to do? What kind of poison is this?
Xia Sihan lowered his head slightly, secretly dipped a handkerchief in it and sniffed it, and a faint aroma hit. Her face was stunned! It was actually green silk dyeing, and they dared to use this kind of indiscriminate love medicine in the palace, which was to ruin their innocence.
Xia Sihan remained silent, just slightly supported her forehead and leaned on her mother-in-law, covered half of her face with her palm, whispered in her mother-in-law's ear, and then got up and left quietly.
Xia Yingxue's face was happy, and then she glanced at the queen, who nodded slightly, and sent her cronies and palace maids to go out, and Xia Yingxue also followed.
It's not that she likes to do it herself, it's just that she wants to make sure it works. She has already suffered a lot of losses from Xia Sihan, and she will not let her have another chance to escape.
Xia Sihan came to the outside of the hall, only to feel a little dizzy in his head, just smelling it just now has such a great medicinal power, if he drinks it, it is estimated that he will immediately make a fool of himself! Fortunately, I took Tianxiang fruit in advance, which reduced a lot of medicinal power.
She didn't dare to be careless, and when she noticed someone coming behind her, she immediately pretended to be physically exhausted and wanted to fall. The people behind her immediately came over to support her, and their hearts were happy to see her body.
"Excuse me, I'm dizzy, send me to rest." Xia Sihan was weak to speak, and a suspicious flush appeared on his face.
"Sister, I'll send you there!" Xia Yingxue followed behind, saying that it was a send, but in fact, she was sure that she would not run away.
Xia Sihan opened his eyes and silently memorized the route. They took the people to a side hall about a few dozen meters from the front hall, and they could see the lights inside from a long distance.
Xia Sihan thought that if there were people inside, it would not be easy for her to get out.
When she arrived at the side hall, Xia Yingxue motioned to the palace maid to push the door open, and the palace maid nodded knowingly. When the door was opened, Xia Sihan glanced at it, but he didn't see anyone inside, and he felt a little relieved.
"Come, put her on the bed."
Xia Sihan heard Xia Yingxue's voice, and she really couldn't wait!
"Sister, sister! Sister, how are you? Can you hear me? ”
Xia Sihan muttered deliberately, pretending to be delirious.
"It seems that the effect of this medicine is really good, Xia Sihan, you will also have today!" Xia Yingxue's voice was full of joy.
"Okay, what's next?" Xia Yingxue turned around and asked the palace maid beside her.
Xia Sihan was suspicious in her heart, why did she still ask a palace maid?
Xia Sihan was suspicious, and only heard the palace maid say: "Niangniang said, let her wait here, naturally someone will come to serve her." If the three princesses are free, they will wait here, and someone will come in a while, and the three princesses will say to the person, and the slave and maid will retire first. ”
After the palace maid finished speaking, she curtched and turned around, and Xia Yingxue stood in place stunned.
