Chapter 134: See who drowns in the vinegar vat first 2
Familiar gestures, but not familiar feelings. For a moment, Zhao Wuwu was confused, his mind was blank, and he couldn't see Jian Yan's appearance clearly in the vague world.
The breath that was forced into her lips and teeth made her feel repulsed, and she wanted to push him away, but she, a sick seedling with no power to restrain chickens, really couldn't push away this scholar who had no power to restrain chickens.
The next moment, there was a clear crisp sound, accompanied by the stillness of all movements.
Both pairs of eyes were red, and their eyes were facing each other, but they were speechless and choked.
Jian Yan gently took her into her arms, "I'm sorry, I shouldn't be impulsive." But Hehuan, even if you don't love me, you shouldn't easily decide my life. I know my presence will drag you down, but I'll try to be careful. I don't ask for anything else, I just want to be with you. It's okay if you don't want to give me a chance, but you can't deprive me of the belief that I'm waiting for you. β
"I know, I don't know martial arts and I don't have your resourcefulness, I don't know the current situation of the government and politics, and I don't know your power and strategy, so I'm a waste to you. I will drag you down, and I will become a stumbling block and a burden to you. But Hehuan, is it wrong for me to like you? You don't want me, don't push me away, I'm a person, not an object. As for the major events of my life, let me decide for myself, okay? β
Zhao Wuwu didn't know what to say, so he finally pushed him away. Looking up at the bright red fingerprints on Jian Yan's cheeks, he narrowed his eyes slightly, "You go wash your face, and I'll ask someone to bring you ice cubes and put it on you." What kind of system does this look become? β
After that, she brushed her sleeves away, and did not say a word about the matter of Fang Cai.
Jian Yan stood there, wondering if Zhao Wuwu was angry? But she doesn't look angry. He couldn't guess Zhao Wuwu's mind more and more, such a city was so deep that people couldn't see through it or guess it.
But if it can be easily seen through, then it is not Zhao Wuwu, how can he survive in this court that eats people and does not spit out bones?
Zhao Wuwu's feet were a little hurried, she didn't want to stay here for a moment longer, but she turned a corner and crashed into someone's arms, and was hugged by someone. The familiar breath came from top to bottom, and she looked up in shock, her eyes a little flustered.
"Lord Zhao is so bold, he dares to mess with the Jian family's son, is this really your Shangshu Mansion?" Mu Baili sneered, his tone was a little slow, as if he was suppressing something.
Zhao Wuwu looked at him, how did he think that when he said this, there was some gnashing of teeth?
With a helpless sigh, Zhao Wuwu quickly looked around.
But when he heard this, Mu Baili leaned down and reached out to clasp the back of her neck, "Lord Zhao, don't you think it's strange, why is there no one in the huge palace?" After that, he grabbed her delicate chin and forced her to look at him, "If you teach people to see it, I don't know how Lord Zhao should explain to the emperor and Lord Jane." β
Zhao Wuwu frowned, "Thank you for your kindness." β
The next moment, he grabbed her slender waist and pulled her violently, directly taking her into his arms, and the two were tightly together. He sniffed greedily, the faint fragrance of pear blossoms on her body, and remembered the scene between her and Jian Yan just now, so he subconsciously pinched her waist.
Zhao Wuwu frowned in pain, and kindly reminded, "You hurt me." β
"Does it hurt?" Mu Baili smiled enchantingly, and the inky pupils reflected the uncertain glimmer in the palace road, "If you know that it hurts, remember, it's good that this seat is passing by today, and it solves the worries of Lord Zhao, otherwise, Lord Zhao is afraid that he will be ruined." β
The next moment, she pushed him away, and a little chill spread between her eyebrows, "Don't move Jian Yan." β
"If this is said in the seat, don't move Xue Lan, what does Lord Zhao think?" Mu Baili sneered.
Zhao Wuwu took a deep breath, "Xuelan's matter should be my fault, but the matter has come to this point, and I hope that the Chitose Lord can look forward." Those who turn back frequently always lose. β
"Do you think I'm going to lose?" Mu Baili approached step by step.
Zhao Wuwu retreated and straightened his body slightly, "Chitose Lord can't afford to lose?" β
"It's not that I can't afford to lose, but I just feel that I am unwilling to lose to Lord Zhao." Mu Baili smiled slyly, "If you really lose, how should Lord Zhao compensate for this seat?" β
"If you lose, you're defeated, does Chitose still want to make amends?" Zhao Wuwu's body slammed against the wall, and the cold feeling made her body shake slightly, and then she was taken back into his arms and embraced.
"This is the Imperial Palace!" Zhao Wuwu was short of breath.
If you teach people to see, what kind of system will it become?
"Lord Zhao is just now-" Mu Baili sighed helplessly, "Why didn't you think that this is the palace?" β
When the sound fell, Zhao Wuwu quickly raised his hand, and the slap almost landed on Mu Baili's face, but fortunately, Mu Baili immediately buckled his wrist. He is not Jian Yan, and his sensitivity in reaction is naturally better than ordinary people.
"What are you doing?" He frowned coldly, this girl dared to do it.
"Aren't you like learning from Jianyan? Then I have to accompany me to the end. Chitose Ye saw Jian Yan kiss me, but I saw that Jian Yan also slapped me. If the Chitose Lord wants to taste the taste of this slap, but it doesn't hurt to say, I, Zhao Wuwu, will definitely not be polite. She gritted her teeth and withdrew her hand fiercely.
The little girl is mean and unkind, and it seems that she is really angry.
But being so presumptuous in this palace is really not his. He should know her temper, always cautious, always walking on thin ice, if he causes trouble for her, he is afraid that she will really not pay attention to him in the future.
Sighing helplessly, Mu Baili let go of his hand, Zhao Wuwu quickly broke away from his clutches, and after glancing at him fiercely, he stood within a safe range a few feet away from him.
As everyone knows, if he really wants to do it, your distance is just a few feet away from his fingers.
"Master?" Xue Lan's voice came from not far away.
Zhao Wuwu smiled clearly, "The future wife of the Chitose Lord is looking for you, so let's go back to Wencun quickly, lest she get lost when she first comes to the palace!" accidentally went to the wrong place and went to Yongshou Palace, which was a loss for Chitose Ye. β
Xue Lan hurriedly stepped forward, "Master, why are you here?" The palace feast is about to begin, let's go! But seeing Zhao Wuwu standing coldly, he stared at the moment, "Lord Zhao is also there." β
"You can be when I don't exist, and when you don't see me." Zhao Wuwu teased and chuckled, with a bit of ridicule, "There is only Ruyi Langjun in the eyes of beauties, and it is normal not to see me." β
These words were addressed to Mu Baili.
Mu Baili raised his eyebrows and looked at her, "Lord Zhao said this, with a sour taste. β
"Why didn't Chitose Lord say it, it smelled of blood? It's a pity that such a beauty can't get into my sect. Zhao Wuwu snorted twice, for some reason, he always felt panicked in his heart, "Farewell!" β
She didn't want to stay any longer, so she turned around and left.
"Lord Zhao!" Xue Lan stepped forward, "What do you mean by that?" What is the Workshop Division? β
"I really want to know?" Zhao Wuwu turned his head and looked at Mu Baili with a cold eye, "Then ask your Chitose Master and let him teach you well!" Of course, I hope Miss Shellland remembers what I said to you that day. She glanced at Mu Baili meaningfully, "If Miss Xuelan has figured it out, if she doesn't want to be a widow for the rest of her life, she might as well come to Shangshu Mansion, I Zhao Wuwu is welcome at any time." β
Seeing the back of Zhao Wuwu leaving, Xue Lan clenched her fists in her sleeves, and her eyes were cold and warm. As soon as he turned around, Mu Baili had already gone far away. Stunned, Xue Lan hurriedly followed, "Master? β
"This seat let you follow, not to let you act recklessly in the palace." Mu Baili's tone is gentle, but between the lines, there is a hint of coldness.
"Zhao Wuwu is not good for you." Xue Lan accompanied, "Why are you conniving everywhere?" β
"She is a first-class master, a scholar of the Ministry of Rites, and a young master of the prince. Who are you? Who is this seat? Mu Baili's face froze, "Xue Lan, there are some things that you can't do if you want to, be careful everywhere when you are in the palace, when you are in the court." It's not as cold as you see. β
Xue Lan narrowed her eyes, "I'm sorry, I-"
"That's it!" Mu Baili brushed his sleeves away, "At that time, I was drinking and feasting on the periphery, so I didn't have to follow!" β
Lu Guoan stepped forward, glanced at Xue Lan with a gloomy look, and sighed helplessly, "Miss Lan doesn't know, what Chitose Lord doesn't like the most is other people's arbitrary opinions." Chitose Ye is used to doing things, and if you break Chitose Ye's plan, you will naturally make him unhappy. If Miss Lan is really good for Chitose Ye, please think twice before acting in the future, and don't be reckless. β
"Now that I have Chitose Lord to protect me, it's okay. If Chitose is not around in the future, how should you deal with yourself? People are always wise after all, if they are self-contained and stand still, they are afraid that they will not be able to survive. β
After speaking, Lu Guoan leaned over and followed Mu Baili.
Xue Lan's face turned pale and she stood in place.
She has gone through the Fengyue place, but she really doesn't know the rules of this palace, and she doesn't know that this court fights. But if she knew something, she didn't think she would be so reckless as she was at the moment and upset him.
"I'll be careful." She whispered to herself.
Before the palace banquet began, the imperial garden was already very lively, although they were all civil and military officials, but they all smiled, seeing Zhao Wuwu come in, they all quickly closed their heads, and their faces were respectful.
There are inevitably some old ministers here, and they can't see the color of a charming lord like Zhao Wuwu. At a young age, he played a good trick to play with the emperor between applause, won the high-ranking officials, and was a first-class official.
But Zhao Wuwu doesn't care about this, she and Mu Baili are the protagonists today, so there is no need to care about anyone's face.
Being in the high hall is her own ability, and it has nothing to do with anyone. If you can't see it, get out. If you want to gain a foothold in the court, it's best to keep their minds in mind, otherwise don't blame her for being polite, she is not a good man and a woman.
Mu Baili also arrived, the two giants confronted each other, and the originally noisy and lively Imperial Garden was as quiet as a pool of stagnant water in an instant, and the needles could be heard.
She stood there, without the slightest emotion on her face, as if she were looking at a stranger. Because it is a palace banquet, everyone does not have to wear official uniforms, she is still plain and does not change her old appearance.
"Lord Zhao!" Mu Baili opened her mouth lukewarmly, and her phoenix eyes stared thoughtfully on her face.
Zhao Wuwu raised his lips and smiled, "Nine thousand years old." β
Master duel, the mountain rain is coming, and the wind is full of buildings.
A "The emperor has arrived, the queen has arrived", so that everyone was relieved from the embarrassing and tense atmosphere, and everyone present knelt on the ground and shouted, "Long live my emperor, long live the queen." β
"Get up!" The emperor wore a yellow robe, glanced at everyone, and finally set his eyes on Mu Baili.
Zhao Wuwu raised the corner of his eyes, and when he looked at the emperor like this, he knew that he was looking for someone. As for who to find, there is no need to say, just think about it, the emperor is naturally looking for a beauty. The delicate beauty, the exotic woman who captivates the country and the city, of course - certainly not Mu Baili.
With a sneer in his heart, Zhao Wuwu turned his head and glanced at Mu Baili, his eyes were warm.
Mu Baili didn't think so, and got up with everyone, looking as respectful as when he was a slave and a maid before. His deference to the emperor was not inferior to that of Zhao Wuwu, and when two cautious people got together, they were extremely cautious.
In front of the hundred officials, Mu Baili was killed and killed; In the emperor's place, Mu Baili was just an obedient minion.
"Sit down, today is the palace banquet, it is a celebration banquet set up by me for Zhao Aiqing and the nine-thousand-year-old Mu Baili, from now on, the two Aiqing must support each other and help me govern Daye to protect the country and the people." It can be seen that the emperor is still very happy, although he did not find the face he wanted to see.
However, the concubines sat in a bunch of places today, but they didn't see Fu Yuying and Xia Lan, so it is conceivable that these two people are afraid that they have some difficulties. Who doesn't know that the two Jieyu in the palace are pregnant, so they don't care.
The queen didn't take Qin An out, and when she sat beside the emperor, she glanced at Mu Baili intentionally or unintentionally, and finally fell on Zhao Wuwu's body.
Zhao Wuwu has been recuperating in the past two days, and his body has improved slightly, so his complexion is not as pale as when he returned to Beijing.
This sick young man stood in the bright candlelight, dressed in plain clothes. and Mu Baili beside him, reflecting each other, more and more like a fairy who does not eat the fireworks of the world. She stood there, with a faint elegance on her body, and her gestures carried an innate noble temperament, like a jade carving, not stained with any dust in the world.
Such a man is enough to make a woman admire, not to mention that he was born with an extremely handsome face. The only fly in the ointment is that some are thin and some thin.
The one she and Mu Baili went to was simply the two extremes of perfection.
One is like a demon and a villain, and the other is arrogant.
The queen was a little fascinated, but because this was a palace banquet, there were hundreds of civil and military officials underneath. Under Jingyi's quiet reminder, he reluctantly raised his eyebrows and accepted this thought.
The emperor didn't like to be restrained, so he said "casual", and the bottom began to be lively again. Singing and dancing, silk and bamboo orchestras, and the melodious sound of the palace and beyond.
Zhao Wuwu's body has just improved, so naturally she can't drink, so although there is wine on her desk, there is white water in the cup. Her eyes swept gently over everyone present, she didn't like such noise. After three rounds of drinking, she left the palace banquet and found a remote place to hide quietly.
Xi Mo stepped forward to wait, "Childe is unwell?" β
"Nope." Zhao Wuwu sighed lightly, "Did the things go?" β
"The minion has already handed over the ice cube to Gongzi Jian, and I think he will understand Gongzi's mind in the future." Xi Mo replied in a low voice.
Zhao Wuwu nodded, "You go down first, I'll sit back alone." β
"But this-" Xi Mo was not at ease.
"There's nothing to worry about, this is the Imperial Palace, who dares to make a mistake." Zhao Wuwu said.
"Yes!" Xi Mo saluted and stepped back obediently.
The moonlight was just right, she stood in the moonlight in plain clothes, looking at the palace wall covered in silver, and stood with her hands in her hands. The wind was slightly cool, she coughed lightly twice, and her face flushed slightly.
But I could hear clear footsteps behind me, and then it was Xia Lan's voice.
"Lord Zhao." Xia Lan stood behind her, looking a little haggard in the moonlight.
"Lan Jieyu?" Zhao Wuwu bowed, "Shouldn't Jieyu Niangniang raise a baby in the palace?" How did you get here? If you teach people to see it, I am afraid that it will cause misunderstanding. Leave! β
Zhao Wuwu is not a fool, she told Fu Yuying not to contact Xia Lan, how could she let herself make such a low-level mistake?
"What is Lord Zhao worried about?" Summer Orchid stands in place.
"I'm worried that the emperor will find me, so I hurry back with a breath." Zhao Wuwu didn't want to stay.
"I heard that Lord Zhao instructed his subordinates to purchase the Book of the People." Summer orchid goes straight to the point.
It was from this sentence that Zhao Wuwu had already heard what Xia Lan meant.
With a cold snort, Zhao Wuwu turned to look at her faintly, "Jieyu Niangniang is in the palace, but she can still know the situation outside for the first time, it seems that the door of this country has already made up its mind." That is the case, why did Jieyu Niangniang come to me? β
Hearing this, Xia Xia Lan immediately knelt down for Zhao Wuwu, "Lord Zhao, just take it as if I beg you, please Lord Zhao must accept the Book of All People, and don't submit it to Junqian." As long as Lord Zhao can let the Xia family live, Ji Lan is grateful. β
"What do I want your gratitude for?" Zhao Wuwu asked.
Xia Lan pursed her lips, her face in the moonlight was terribly pale, "I know that my father was arrogant and domineering that day, and my sister didn't know how to restrain herself, but they have been taught a lesson, and I hope that Lord Zhao can raise his noble hand." β
Hearing this, Zhao Wuwu leaned over and squatted down, smiling meaningfully, his fingertips gently picked up Xia Lan's jaw, and looked at this beautiful face with pear blossoms and rain, "I raise my noble hand today, and I will have to break my bones in the future." Jieyu Niangniang, do you think I will exchange my net worth and life for a tear of my mother? β
Xia Lan wept, "Lord Zhao, my father won't be anymore-"
"Jieyu Niangniang is very intelligent, knows how to retreat as advance, understands the mind of men, and knows that they will pity the weak. But you are wrong about this official, although I, Zhao Wuwu, am also a person who pities the fragrance and cherishes the jade, but I still have clear grievances. Don't you know what your father is thinking? You think I'm a three-year-old? Well? Zhao Wuwu's tail note was long.
Xia Lan's eyes were a little apprehensive, "Lord Zhao, as long as you receive the Book of the People, our Xia family will definitely keep to ourselves and will never mix in the affairs of the court again." β
"Your father said that?" Zhao Wuwu sneered.
Summer Lan is silent.
"Do you believe it?" Her sharp eyes stared at Xia Lan.
Xia Lan opened her mouth, not knowing what to say.
Zhao Wuwu sighed lightly and slowly stood up, "Even you don't believe it, how can you teach me to believe it?" It's not the first day I have come into contact with your father, I know better than you what kind of character your father is. The affairs of the court, but if there is a resurgence, it will definitely become a prairie fire. Do you think it's easier for me to deal with a fire, or is it easier to extinguish a fire? β
With that, she walked away.
"Zhao Wuwu!" Xia Lan got up and snorted, "Why are you being aggressive? β
"You want to bring shame on yourself, what do you have to do with me?" Zhao Wuwu looked back at her, "If you keep to yourself, I can allow you to die of old age and be rich to death." This is a piece of advice and an ultimatum for you. Only by playing tricks can we save our lives. As for your father, that is the success or defeat between our men, and it has nothing to do with you, the harem concubine. β
Xia Lan stood in place with tears in her eyes, she knew very well what Zhao Wuwu meant, and she also understood that it was a foregone conclusion. In the future, unless there is no Zhao family, no Zhao Song and Zhao Wuwu, there will be no day for her Guogong Mansion to turn over.
This kind of thought is actually very scary.
However, the woman who entered the palace had no way out except to cling to the family and the emperor.
Zhao Wuwu was a little anxious, she didn't want people to see herself standing with Xia Lan and reach the emperor's ears, and she would think that she was having an affair with the concubine. This kind of unnecessary mess is better not to provoke.
Ahead, there are wolves blocking the way.
Zhao Wuwu rubbed his eyebrows, he really could meet this evil god wherever he went.
Mu Baili sat at the railing, and Lu Guoan saw that it was Zhao Wuwu, so he immediately retreated with someone.
"What do you want?" Zhao Wuwu asked.
Seeing that Mu Baili didn't say anything, she walked past him with a step, but he quickly grabbed her wrist, "Lord Zhao really doesn't know how to pity the fragrance and cherish the jade." β
"Chitose Lord is saying that your thousand-year-old body is like fragrant jade?" Zhao Wuwu pretended to be confused.
"She's really different from her father and sister." Mu Baili looked at her meaningfully, "It seems that Lord Zhao's future road is not easy to walk." This palace is deep, and after all, I met an opponent. β
Zhao Wuwu sneered, "Could it be that the Chitose Lord is also here to persuade me and raise his noble hand, so that Xia Donglou can make a comeback and join forces with you Dongchang to destroy my Zhao family?" Mubary, do you think I'm a three-year-old? The resurgence of this kind of thing is not suitable for me. β
She withdrew her hand and looked at him coldly.
On her thick face, the phoenix eyes were still very moist, no matter how bitter and mean she was, his attitude towards her seemed to always remain warm, "This book of ten thousand people is sent to the emperor, undoubtedly using the power of the people of the world to prove how unforgivable the Xia family's original mistake was." The people's wishes, the Xia family vainly tried to enjoy the palace with their own strength, ignoring the people of the world, it is really damned. β
Zhao Wuwu took a deep breath, "Since Master Chitose knows everything, he shouldn't come to persuade me. β
"I'm not here to persuade you, I'm here to see the excitement." Mu Baili smiled coldly, "This Xia family and the Zhao family, one prosperity and one decline, if you can't keep the Xia family today, it will be the Zhao family in the future." β
"With Chitose here, anything is possible, soβ" She stepped forward slowly, leaning over and whispering in his ear, "I have to think of a way to never suffer again." β
Mu Baili pinched her delicate jaw, and her warm fingertips rubbed her lips unhurriedly, the touch of alternating hot and cold was really excellent, "I don't know how Lord Zhao should never suffer in the future?" Kill this seat, orβ"
"It's not like a harem girl, trapping you with a child, right?" Zhao Wuwu laughed mockingly, "Master Chitose thinks too much, it's too unrealistic." She straightened up, "Farewell." β
"Don't you want to ask, Jian Yan?" Mu Baili opened his mouth coldly.
Zhao Wuwu paused, "You dare to touch him?" β
"Why don't you dare?" His tone was cold.
She looked back at him, her eyes were cold and warm, "Mu Baili, you can deal with me as much as you want, except for the same, don't touch Jian Yan." He has nothing to do with everything, and your grievances with me are meaningless to affect him. β
"You care about him a lot, that's the relationship." Mu Baili got up and looked down at her condescendingly, "Lord Zhao has ever thought that when you move Xuelan, one day you will let you know what it feels like to have a heartache." β
"Miss Xuelan is the favorite of the Chitose Lord, I will ask the emperor to give her a marriage, and I won't embarrass her anymore, are you satisfied?" She narrowed her eyes, a fleeting gloom passed under her eyes, and she turned around and never looked back.
Mu Baili stood there, his eyes gloomy, and he didn't know how to reply for a while. He watched her leave, thinking that she probably went to find Jian Yan. As soon as he said a word, she was worried, she was so worried about Jian Jiaerlang, she was really sincere.
If she didn't have this official uniform, it is estimated that at such an age, she would have married Jian Yan as his wife. Such a childhood sweetheart, the two have no guesses, and they are born with male talents and female appearances, and they are really a pair of beautiful people made in heaven.
Thinking like this, Mu Baili felt inexplicably anxious, and always felt that something was crawling around in his heart, which made people unhappy. If he's not happy, he's going to make everyone unhappy!
From afar, Lu Guoan could also detect the anger from Mu Baili, just by seeing him standing there motionless, Lu Guoan knew that his master was angry! Born atmosphere!
The calmer Mu Baili was, the more angry he was in his heart.
Lu Guoan thought, it's over, it's over, this will really be over. With a tug in his heart, Lu Guoan subconsciously tensed his body.
Zhao Wuwu originally wanted to find Jian Yan, but she was really worried about Jian Yan, for fear that Mu Baili would attack Jian Yan. But after thinking about it, this is the palace, Mu Baili will not be unfavorable to Jian Yan on such a day, otherwise it will sweep away the emperor's interest, and it will be endless to investigate it in the future.
After all, Jian Yan is the son of Jian Weizhong, and this Jian Weizhong is now the hero of the dredging of the Yingqu canal, and the emperor is still waiting for the reward for meritorious deeds.
"Childe?" Xi Mo was puzzled, "Why don't you leave?" Jian Gongzi is on the periphery, and he walks two steps past this door. β
"You take a look, I'll go back to the table, it's inevitable that if I come out for too long, it will inevitably make people suspicious." Zhao Wuwu turned around and walked towards the banquet.
Xi Mo was stunned for a moment, and then looked around, and understood a little in his heart. After all, it is a palace and a heavy place, and it is necessary to avoid suspicion.
Back at the table, the emperor was already drunk, and when he saw Zhao Wuwu coming back, he beckoned to her, "Zhao Aiqing, come here, sit next to me." As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and pushed the beauty in his arms out.
Zhao Wuwu pulled his sleeve, picked up the cup on his desk and walked slowly towards the emperor.
Respectfully saluted, Zhao Wuwu smiled gently, "Weichen is unwell, it is not suitable to drink, so he can only replace wine with tea and give the emperor a glass." May my emperor live long and the country will last forever. β
The emperor smiled, "Zhao Aiqing, don't be disappointed, I celebrate with you today, how can you not drink a drop of wine?" Your body, I know, come and come, our monarchs and ministers are not greedy for cups, you just accompany me to be happy. β
Xiao Dezi had already served the wine cup, and Zhao Wuwu was a little hesitant. Her body has just improved, and she has been told that it is really not suitable to drink. Ordinary people drink alcohol and hurt their bodies, and her drinking is undoubtedly a chronic suicide.
But the emperor is a gentleman without jokes, who dares to disobey the emperor's will in front of hundreds of civil and military officials?
Picking up the wine cup, Zhao Wuwu smiled casually, "Before drinking, the minister has a play." β
The emperor's hand holding the cup froze slightly, "What's the matter, Zhao Aiqing still waited for the court to discuss with the ministers." Now this is a palace feast, it's really not appropriateβ"
"No, Your Majesty, this is a good thing." Zhao Wuwu said with a smile, and then someone stepped forward to send a roll of red paper, "The people inside and outside the capital feel the grace of the king, and specially repair the book of the people to thank the king, and dredge the canal to benefit the country and the people." Your Majesty, all the people praise the emperor as a great monarch! β
The emperor immediately put down the cup, and Xiao Dezi happily rolled out the red scroll, which was densely covered with handwriting, and the gorgeous rhetoric of singing praises made the emperor smile. But after this smile was opened, the emperor's face tightened slightly.
The emperor is bent on becoming an immortal, but it doesn't mean that he is a fool.
On the contrary, the emperor was actually very smart.
He won't be stupid enough to slap himself in the face and admit his mistakes. The emperor is not wrong and will never be wrong. Thinking that for the dredging of Furong Canal and Yingqu at the beginning, the emperor blamed Zhao Wuwu heavily, and let Zhao Wuwu suffer from the board.
Now that this book of the people has come to him, if he accepts it, it will be tantamount to admitting his mistake. Of course, it doesn't hurt if he doesn't want to admit his mistakes, there is only one way, and that is to blame the Xia family for his mistakes.
At the beginning, it was Xia Qiongzhi who built the Furong Canal by herself, and now the emperor wants to be alone, and is praised by all the people, so that everyone in the world has to feel that in the past, it was the demon concubine who brought disaster to the country, not the emperor's own intention to be greedy for pleasure.
The emperor looked at Wanminshu and felt a lot of emotion in his heart, but this also illustrated Zhao Wuwu's heart for the country's righteousness. Such a righteous person will definitely be loyal to the court and die with all his might.
All civil and military officials knelt down and saluted, shouting, "The emperor is sage, long live my emperor." β
The emperor smiled, anyway, he was right, it was the daughter of the Xia family who was wrong. In this way, Xia Lan's proposal can only be stillborn. The emperor thought that the woman of the Xia family would no longer have the face to propose and restore the position of the Xia family.
In addition to helplessness, it is also a little more trouble-free.
"Thanks to Qing's operation, there is Daye's national fortune." The emperor smiled and raised his glass, "Come, I salute Zhao Aiqing with a glass." β
Zhao Wuwu is not good at prevarication, and when he has a glass of wine, he will lower his stomach. In addition to Yunzheng's pear blossom wine, Zhao Wuwu has never drunk other wine. Now the throat is boiling hot, burning like a fire, and it is really uncomfortable. She coughed lightly twice, her face flushing slightly.
"Weichen is not strong enough to drink, please forgive the emperor." Zhao Wuwu leaned over.
"It's okay, sit next to me." The emperor took advantage of the strength of the wine and invited Zhao Wuwu to sit with him.
Zhao Wuwu pursed her lips, and hundreds of officials were present, but she couldn't push it, so she could only sit down as she said. As soon as he sat down, he looked up and saw Mu Baili returning to his original position.
