Chapter 140: Doubts of the Years (12)

Since Xiao Yuexi entered the door, the atmosphere in the Jiaofang Hall has become dull, although everyone is waiting to see the joke, but no one dares to really ridicule. Just Xiao Yuexi's dress today knows that the emperor attaches great importance to her, and if he really wants to hit her with a knife, she won't care if she doesn't take advantage of it.

Several people each carried Xiao Jiujiu, no one said much, and the atmosphere was strangely quiet.

Concubine Chen suddenly said in a loud voice: "Speaking of which, the concubine is responsible for negligence, and I hope Mrs. Xiao will not blame her." ”

Xiao Yuexi landed an indifferent gaze on her. Concubine Chen looked at herself and said: "The concubine has never managed such a big banquet, and she is so busy that she didn't order the Clothing Bureau to prepare court clothes for Mrs. Xiao, it's really ......."

Chen Aya looked guilty and self-reproachful and cautious, anyone who saw it would be unbearable, but Xiao Yuexi was still cold, and said indifferently: "Concubine Chen doesn't have to blame herself so much, you really can't control me." ”

Chen Aya's expression froze, and her humble attitude was almost difficult to maintain, and it took a while for her to say, "Yes, the concubine has said more." ”

Xiao Yuexi is like a mirror, how much they can endure at the moment, how much they look forward to her public downfall. It seems that everyone's expectations will fall on the palace banquet at noon.

Poria walked in from outside and said softly: "Niangniang, the time has come, it's time to move." ”

The palace banquet is placed in the front hall of Weiyang, because it is the first thousand autumn festival after the emperor ascends the throne, and there are the envoys of the tortoiseshell country on the side, so the arrangement is very extravagant and extravagant, which is no less than the holy longevity festival. Listening to the praise of the palace ministers all the way, Xiao Yuexi was indifferent in his heart: You wait to see the joke, and I also wait to see the joke.

The opening ceremony was started in an orderly manner.

"The emperor and the queen are seated-"

Lu Jinxiu's hands hidden in his sleeves were clenched into fists, trembling faintly. The last time she stood side by side in front of people like this, it was at the ceremony after the sealing, and so far, she, the queen, is nothing.

The emperor and queen sat side by side in costumes, the dragon robe and phoenix clothes were very right, and the expressions of the two of them could be seen, but no matter how you looked at it, there was a hint of detachment.

He Tong continued to sing: "Concubine Chaoheβ€”"

Led by Xiao Yuexi, a scarce number of concubines walked into the hall in an orderly manner, bowed, and chanted congratulatory speeches. If anyone in the hall paid attention to the saint at this time, they would find that his gaze never looked away the moment Madame Xiao walked in.

As soon as Lu Jinxiu Shi Ran raised his hand, He Tong said loudly: "Flat, give a seat-"

Next is the royal family that is even less prosperous, the exile of the dead and the exiled, and the only ones left are Prince Xian and the Sixth Highness. Prince Xian dragged a pair of dying bones to the banquet, Xiao Yuexi was very surprised, and what was even more unexpected was that she also saw two princesses who were married to the northern tribe.

After reading the greetings, several people sat down, and Xiao Yuexi's eyes fell on the eldest princess of Hui'an. The last time we met was when she was eight years old, she beat the princess and princess, and she was one of the princesses, she was the first child of the first emperor.

Now I look at it again, but I find that she has lost all her sharpness between her eyebrows and eyes, she has been married to a wife for many years, and I heard that she has three children, and all her sharpness has been wiped out like this......

Xiao Yuexi rarely stared at a person for so long, and when she saw that the eldest princess of Hui'an threw a puzzled look at her, after this glance, she was also stunned, not knowing what she was thinking.

After being stunned for a while, the hundred officials had finished their congratulations, and after they sat down, the legendary prince of the tortoiseshell kingdom appeared in the midst of thousands of calls.

That long figure is dressed in simple Tsing Yi, and at first glance it is really difficult to have any connection with the identity of the "prince", at most he is a straight Tsing Yi Jianghu guest. However, as he slowly approached, people could see his face clearly, and they would unconsciously think in their minds: Which Tsing Yi Jianghu guest will be so long?

Prince Tortoiseshell has a good skin, sword eyebrows and starry eyes, thin lips slightly raised, and that evil and uninhibited smile inexplicably makes Xiao Yuexi feel familiar...... Xiao Yuexi lowered her eyes quietly, in front of His Majesty the Emperor of her family, she actually looked at other men as if they were familiar, which was really something that she couldn't tolerate.

"Jin Ze has seen Emperor Yelan, and I wish Empress Yelan a long life and a long life."

Prince Tortoiseshell's voice is like a clear spring, as if it can cleanse people's hearts, and settle down with his voice......

Mu Yun raised his voice lightly and said, "Prince Tortoiseshell doesn't need to be polite, give a seat." ”

"Thank you, Emperor Yelan."

In front of everyone's eyes, Yu Jinze, the prince of tortoiseshell, walked to his place and sat down, strolling leisurely as if he was walking in his own back garden, this calmness and composure also attracted people's attention. Xiao Yuexi couldn't help but glance at the past again, making sure that this face didn't match any of the ones she had ever seen, so she continued to look at her nose and nose, pretending to be bitter and hateful.

At the banquet, under the cover of the sound of silk and bamboo, everyone carefully turned their heads and ears. On the surface, the singing and dancing are peaceful, but I don't know what storms will wait for these people next.

Mu Yun looked at Yu Jinze lightly and said, "I heard that Prince Tortoiseshell went to Beijing and was not adaptable, I don't know if it is better?" ”

Yu Jinze chuckled lightly and said indifferently: "I'm ashamed, Jinze, as the tortoiseshell prince, was actually dragged out for a few days by such a common illness as not adapting to water and soil, which made Emperor Yelan laugh." ”

Mu Yun said lightly: "I don't laugh, I just think that your country's fame is still mixed with some water." ”

The ministers looked at their saint in amazement, thinking that he must have taken the wrong medicine.

Xiao Yuexi forcibly pressed the hand that wanted to hold her forehead, still pretending to be calm and indifferent, but her heart exploded - you said it so directly? Mu Yunqing, are you crazy? But when the afterglow touched Prince Xian's pale face, Xiao Yuexi felt that there was a reason why Mu Yun was so crazy

Prince Jueheng unexpectedly did not feel the slightest dissatisfaction, but smiled and groaned: "It's no wonder that Emperor Yelan misunderstood, it's just that Jinze also needs to correct the name of my tortoiseshell country, don't ......" Yu Jinze's eyes looked around in the field, and finally stopped in one place, and said with a smile: "Take this noble man as an example." ”

The audience was in an uproar again, and Prince Tortoiseshell was not referring to anyone else, but Mrs. Xiao, who was favored by the saint.

Xiao Yuexi herself was a little stunned, but then she calmed down and asked slowly, "His Royal Highness the Prince, does this think I am sick?" ”

This kind of question, if one does not answer well, it will be embarrassing, and the audience is silent, as if they are waiting for the prince to answer.

Yu Jinze still had an evil smile on his face, and wrote lightly: "If you can trust Jinze, don't use the medicine prescribed by the doctor who gave you the needle, you are such a beautiful person, why suffer from that sin?" ”

Mu Yunqing and Xiao Yuexi's eyes flashed with imperceptible consternation, if this person hadn't planted their unexpected eyeliner in the palace, then he would really be as skilled as Hua Tuo in the world!

Whether it was the former or the latter, Xiao Yuexi felt that it was unlikely, the people around them had shrunk to the point that they could not be less, except for a few cronies, no one knew the needle method that Li Ran studied. It is even more impossible for Hua Tuo to be alive, even if Hua Tuo is alive, it is impossible to enter the divination with just a glance and calculate it so clearly.

Except for Xiao Yuexi and Mu Yunqing, everyone present was confused, and most of them didn't even know how sick Xiao Yuexi was during the lockdown.

Xiao Yuexi said indifferently: "His Royal Highness the Prince, don't take advantage of my little woman for entertainment, I know best whether my body is healthy or not." ”

Yu Jinze smiled without surprise: "It seems that the noble person doesn't believe in Jinze." The ......" He swept around the room again, and his gaze fell on Prince Xian, who had a haggard face. said: "Then this prince, everyone can see that he is slightly ill, right?" ”

Prince Xian's physique is well known to everyone, for many years, he has only relied on various decoctions and medicines to hang his breath, but when he came to Prince Tortoiseshell, he became "slightly ill", I really don't know if this prince is too arrogant, or he is really so confident.

Xiao Yuexi looked at it coldly, and the more she looked at it, the more she felt that something was wrong, the words and deeds of this tortoiseshell prince were a little too weird. She quietly glanced back at Mu Yun, and saw that he happened to look at him too, looking at each other, and the two saw doubt and caution in each other's eyes.

As soon as the tortoiseshell prince entered Beijing, he closed his door to greet guests, but now every step seems to be in the direction that His Majesty the Emperor expects.

But the more things go well, the more reassuring it becomes.

Yu Jinze walked to Prince Xian's table and bowed as if no one was around, and then presented a small porcelain bottle very respectfully and politely, and said slowly: "I heard earlier that there is a prince who has been sick all the year round in Yelan, and when I saw it today, I knew that Jinze's medicine was not mismatched, why don't His Royal Highness take it back and try it?" If it works, that noble man will be able to believe Jinze. ”

His words were too frivolous, and the strangeness in his words was impossible to ignore.

Lu Jinxiu had a calm smile on her face, and threw out a knife-like sharp words: "Looking at this situation, this palace must think that Sister Xiao and Prince Hawksel are old acquaintances. ”

Xiao Yuexi had a moment of confusion in her mind - could it be that the purpose of Tortoiseshell's trip was to plot something with Lu Jinxiu?

Subconsciously looked at Yu Jinze, he was looking at the queen, I don't know if it was Xiao Yuexi's illusion, she always felt that Yu Jinze's eyes were a little cold, and even her smile became cold. In just a moment, Yu Jinze recovered, and said indifferently: "Queen Yelan is really irresponsible to speak, slandering the reputation of this prince in front of so many people, is it because I have no one to do?" ”

As soon as the words fell, the tortoiseshell mission sat up straight, and glared at Lu Jinxiu angrily, the atmosphere changed from strange to tense in an instant, and everyone couldn't react to this sudden change.

Only Mu Yunqing's calm face raised a smile.
