Chapter 369: A Group of Women, One Play
After a while, the empress reacted from her little daughter's stimulating words, her face instantly became gloomy, and her voice was faintly mixed with a little annoyance: "Little Wu, don't say much." ”
Seeing that her mother was angry, the fifth queen's eyes were suddenly full of grievances, she raised her eyes slightly to look at the empress above, and said innocently with big eyes: "I didn't say this, it was the third emperor sister who just said it, the mother emperor should not bully Xiao Wu!" ”
As soon as these words came out, the audience was in an uproar again, and the face of the empress on the top was blue and white, where did she think that this girl would put herself in and take her three emperor sisters with her? If this annoys Ming Xiu, I'm afraid that the two countries won't need to coexist peacefully in the future, and you will die sooner!
On the other side, Xichu Lu Ning was originally puzzled by the actions of the five princesses, but at this moment, she couldn't help but have a touch of meaning on her red lips, she glanced at the five princesses, and then turned her gaze to Xichu Yuan, with a serious face.
"Yuan'er, did you say such a rebellious thing?"
Xi Chuyuan didn't seem to expect that he would be made public by the Fifth Emperor just by muttering a sentence in a low voice, and his face turned pale suddenly, and he quickly got up and said, "Mother Emperor, Fourth Aunt, Yuan'er has no ......"
"The third emperor sister is used to looking down on the eldest imperial sister, everyone understands this," the second imperial sister was not afraid of big things, a pair of eyes swept over Xi Chu Yue Ling, and then fell on the indefinite Xi Chu Yuan, and said with a smile: "The fifth emperor sister wants to come and don't understand the world, and it is not impossible to tell the truth at this time, the third emperor sister, it's just that the eldest emperor sister can have a close relationship with His Royal Highness Ming Xiu, why hide it?" ”
Seeing the farce recurring, Ming Xiu glanced back at Chu Nian, and saw that Ming Xiu turned his head to look at the people present, and his face was very embarrassed.
As soon as she saw Ming Xiu's black face, the empress's face became more and more unsightly, at this time, Xichu Lu Ning spoke first, she glared at the second princess fiercely, and said in a strange manner: "What does the second princess mean by this?" But you want to provoke the contradiction between your eldest sister and the third emperor sister? Do you have to let outsiders see our Xichu jokes? ”
Seeing that Xi Chu Lu Ning was helping Xi Chu Yuan to speak again, the second princess's eyes swept over Xi Chu Yuan's face, snorted coldly, and said no more.
The four princesses on the side seemed to be extremely frightened, she sat stiffly in place, her body trembling.
At this point, Ming Xiucai said in a cold voice, "It's okay, it's just a mistake, it's good that the third princess pays attention." ”
Although these words came out, you could still see Ming Xiu's not very good-looking face, the empress on the side frowned, and glanced at Xi Chuyuan coldly, Xi Chuyuan's face suddenly turned pale, and the words that originally came to his mouth were held back.
But her sister apparently didn't want to let her go.
"Since the Third Emperor Sister is so unaccustomed to the Elder Emperor, why don't you just compete with the Eldest Emperor? It's also good that the prince's brother can see the customs and customs of my Xichu, and it should be another fun. ”
Hearing this, it seemed that he had given Xi Chuyuan a step down, and it also made the empress's face look a little better, but Chu Nian felt that something was wrong.
Now the atmosphere in the hall seems to be being led by the nose by this little girl who doesn't look big, Fang just wants to provoke Xi Chu Yuan and Xi Chu Yue Ling, and at this moment he simply asked them to stand on the opposite side and put this secret competition on the bright side.
Chu Nian lowered her eyes and glanced at Xi Chu Yueling, at this moment she was frowning slightly and picking up the wine cup and drinking lightly, not knowing what she was thinking.
"Xiao Wu said so." Xichu Lu Ning said meaningfully before the empress could speak: "This king also thinks this proposal is good, I haven't seen Ling Er and Yuan'er's singing and dancing for a long time, and today I just happened to see if the two of you have made any progress." ”
This is to catch ducks on the shelves, and now Xi Chu Yue Ling and Xi Chu Yuan can't agree if they want to, and it is Xi Chu Lu Ning who proposes, Xi Chu Yuan will naturally not refuse, but if Xi Chu Yue Ling refuses at this moment, I am afraid that everyone will not be able to get off the stage.
At this moment, Xi Chuyuan turned his eyes and glanced at Xi Chu Yueling, nodded and whispered, and took the lead in returning and changing clothes.
Seeing Xi Chu Yuan turn to leave, the empress immediately looked at Xi Chu Yue Ling, with a bit of a deeper chill in her eyes, this chill and inexplicable pressure made Xi Chu Yue Ling can't help but purse her red lips.
Just when everyone thought that Xichu Yueling was about to escape, they saw Xichu Yueling stand up suddenly, and looked at Ming Xiu with a serious face, "Your Royal Highness the Prince, can I ask you to borrow someone?" ”
Ming Xiu frowned, turned his eyes to look at Chu Nian as if exploring, and saw Chu Nian's eyes flickering slightly, and nodded slightly. Seeing this, Ming Xiucai said, "You go." ”
Chu Nian bowed slightly and responded, "Yes." ”
Everyone was wondering what Xichu Yueling was planning, so they saw the little eunuch beside the prince Mingxiu hurriedly come down, nodded lightly with Xichu Yueling, and the two left together.
The military officials whispered again, and the empress at the top looked at the middle-aged man beside her suspiciously, "Empress, what is Ling Er thinking?" ”
The middle-aged man known as the queen still had a calm face, he picked up the wine cup and put it to his mouth, and smiled slightly at the empress, "Your Majesty, look at it, Ling'er is the most like Your Majesty, and she has never been a useless person, today since the fourth prince wants Yuan'er to win, we can't easily obey her wishes, right?" ”
Hearing this, the empress was in a better mood, she looked at the little eunuch who hurriedly walked out of the hall behind Xichu Yue Ling and said: "It seems that they are also familiar with each other, I think there are a lot of things that Ling Er did when he went to Daliang last time, and even the little eunuch beside Ming Xiu was bought." ”
The middle-aged man finally poured the wine in the wine cup into his throat, and then looked at the empress with a light smile: "Your Majesty is making your concubines happy again, Your Majesty has already seen that the little eunuch is different for Ming Xiu." ”
The empress's mood became better and better, she reached out and grabbed the hand of the middle-aged man beside her, "After so many years, you still know me best." ”
The middle-aged man smiled, without speaking, looking at the door of the hall with deep eyes, his eyes flickering, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
Not long after, Xi Chuyuan returned first, at this moment she was still dressed in a strong suit, but it seemed to be more masculine in comparison, and it seemed that her eyebrows were a little thicker, the neat cloth shoes under her feet, and her close-fitting trouser legs were tiger and tiger when she walked, and the two long swords in her hands flickered in the candle flames, and she was followed by several palace people, who were mostly carrying a few props in their hands, some were iron rings, some were straw men, and even more with torches in their hands, so they walked into the hall with big thorns.
Everyone looked at each other, could it be that these three princesses were going to perform juggling on the spot? At this moment, the face of the empress on the top is also very unsightly, no matter what, Xi Chu Yuan is still her daughter, this dignified girl is juggling in front of Prince Da Liang, wouldn't she want to lose all their face in Xi Chu?
However, the lower Xichu Lu Ning had a somewhat playful face, she raised her eyes and looked at the empress on the top half defiantly, as if this was not a war between Xichu Yuan and Xichu Yueling, but a war between her and the empress.
The empress on the top naturally also noticed Xi Chu Lu Ning's gaze as if she was winning, and couldn't help frowning, and suddenly a big hand gently patted her hand that was clenched into a fist on the table, she looked sideways, and saw the person on her side with a smile on her eyebrows, she put her mind at ease, she raised her eyes and looked at the door of the hall, now that Xi Chu Yuan is ready, she only looks forward to what kind of surprise Xi Chu Yue Ling and the little eunuch can bring her.
At this stall, I saw Xichu Luning get up and look at Ming Xiu, "Your Highness, there is one thing that this king has been curious about for a long time, His Royal Highness is a prince of a country, why did he only bring a good-looking little eunuch?" ”
As soon as these words came out, even the empress looked sideways at Ming Xiu, with a faint hint of exploration in her eyes, and the second and fourth princesses below didn't seem to react, but the five princesses raised their eyes and stared at Ming Xiu with a pair of clear big eyes, as if they were looking forward to Ming Xiu's answer.
Ming Xiu glanced sideways slightly, and his gaze swept over Xi Chu Lu Ning's face as a little respect for the other party, and then said expressionlessly: "Because she was born good-looking." ”
I didn't expect Ming Xiu to answer so prevaricatingly, Xichu Lu Ning's face suddenly froze, and there was a whisper from the hundred officials, and the empress on the side looked embarrassed for a while, and suddenly laughed.
The first empress laughed, and the civil and military officials below naturally had to laugh, and suddenly the hall was in an uproar.
Xichu Lu Ning's face suddenly turned pale, and at this moment, he actually felt as if he was being teased, and the laughter from the hall next to him was laughing at himself.
The empress was "kind" at the right time to help Xichu Luning play a round, "Don't mind the virtuous nephew, the imperial sister is young and ignorant." ”
Ming Xiu slightly hooked the corners of his lips in response, and when Xi Chu Lu Ning heard this, his face became more and more gloomy, and a pair of eyes looked at the seemingly casual empress, as if he was about to breathe fire, this eloquence turned his eyes to look at Xi Chu Yuan, who was standing quietly in the hall waiting for a performance, Xi Chu Yuan got Xi Chu Lu Ning's eyes, and hurriedly bowed her head without a trace, indicating that she had received Xi Chu Lu Ning's order.
Seeing this, Xichu Lu Ning felt a little better, so he sneered, glanced at the empress meaningfully, and slowly sat back.
By the time the laughter subsided to silence, Xichu Yueling had already returned to the main hall with the little eunuch behind him.
At this moment, it can be seen that she has been carefully dressed, still wearing a gorgeous red dress deepened, revealing a pair of fair and round shoulders, exquisite makeup, high bun bun, looming waist hidden under red tulle, and a pair of white feet under a pair of wide-legged pants.
She also carried a long sword in her hand, and at this moment, a breeze blew through her and lifted her high black hair, compared to the soft dance she performed in Da Liang last time, she was more heroic now.
And the little eunuch who followed behind her was dressed as a man, the height of the two was about the same, but the little eunuch was dressed in a plain white robe like jade, his black hair was tied back at will, his eyebrows and eyes were cold, and his skin was as white as jade.
Just when everyone wondered why this little eunuch was dressed like this, they saw her come out of a jade flute from behind her, and a few palace people were late behind her, carrying a big drum and a gonghou, and the palace people put these instruments down and stepped aside, obviously not wanting to perform with these instruments.
"Third Emperor Sister, I'm ready, what about you?"
