Chapter 17 A Thousand Autumn Banquet is a Good Show

At the end of September, the sky was gradually getting colder, and the prince sent an invitation to Dao'an Wangfu early, but the words and deeds of the slave really didn't look like he was here to invite someone, but more like he was here to recruit stubble.

Chen Yu was always resentful for him, but Qin Sui didn't care, Xue Ji was right, he should take a long-term view, and when the prince couldn't sit still, what means couldn't he return it?

On the day of the prince's Qianqiu banquet, the subordinates had prepared carriages and horses and were waiting outside King An's mansion, Xue Ji was wearing a dark blue silk gown, which seemed to be very stumbling, but the corners of the cloak he put on with his backhand were woven with silver, and the silver fox fur at the collar was very eye-catching, and the plain jade ring around his waist was crystal clear, and the price of this body was very expensive.

As soon as Qin Sui got out of the hospital, he saw the pestle waiting next to the car, hooked the corners of his mouth and smiled faintly, he was a clever person. Chen Yu didn't go to the banquet tonight, but stayed in King An's mansion early in the morning, and at this time, he was inexplicably depressed when he saw people walking out, and he glanced at it and then took off a big piece from the shelf and hurriedly chased after it. "Master, add some clothes, it's a cold day."

Qin Sui looked at him, then at the feather in his hand, and almost laughed: "It's only the end of September, where can I wear this." Don't worry, go back and accompany Wanyu. ”

Xue Ji was stunned when she heard this, if King An didn't mention it, she really forgot that there was such a thing as a princess. "The prince's birthday, the princess won't go?"

Qin Sui remembered the style of the crown prince, and sighed: "She has never seen this kind of battle, the prince has never invited a female family except for the prince and concubine. ”

Xue Ji was a little stunned when he heard it, what kind of battle could there be in a thousand autumn banquets? When he raised his eyes, he saw that Qin Sui had already stepped on the footstool and got into the car, the sunset was already setting, and the time for the banquet was approaching, so he couldn't ask any more questions, so he hurriedly helped the side to follow, and the coachman drove the car towards the east of the city.

Earlier, Xue Ji had heard too much talk about the prince, and he had come and gone several times in the prince's mansion, and it was the first time that he had really followed someone into the gate to meet him.

I have to say that this is completely different from the simple and exquisite mansion of King An's mansion, with golden inscriptions on the door, jade reliefs inlaid on the pillars, and fine lines on bricks and tiles, all of which reveal how noble the owner of this mansion is.

Xue Ji took half a step back and followed behind Qin Sui, and he could clearly see the fist he was clenching behind him, the green tendons on the back of his hand were clearly visible, and the knuckles were white. When I think about it, I also understand that the son-in-law and the eldest son are both princes, but they are worlds apart, one enjoys the flattery of all the people and embraces gold, stones, pearls and jades, and the other is forbearance everywhere, smiling and humble when meeting people, King An can't bear it, and no one can bear it.

"Ouch! Isn't this King An! "Qin Chong walked with his sleeves rolled, the dragon pattern on the gorgeous dress stinged people's eyes, and there was an unconcealable anger between his eyebrows, and a polite word seemed to be a gun with a stick." Lone heard that the eldest brother regarded Lone as a thorn in his side, and the Lone banquet would definitely not come, so Lone almost believed it! Now it seems that this person should be killed! ”

Xue Ji secretly sighed that this prince spoke openly, and he acted so bluntly in a play, if it wasn't for the protection of the first queen's heroic spirit, how could he have survived to this day?

Qin Sui hurriedly took a small step back, bowed down and saluted, his face full of respect: "Meet the prince." The prince is the king, I am just a minister, how can there be a minister in the world who regards the king as a thorn in the side? This person's joke is good, you can have a good time, the prince Qianqiu is such a good day, it is still not suitable to kill. ”

As soon as the words fell, he turned his head slightly and glanced at Xue Ji, Xue Ji understood, bowed down and presented the brocade box brought down from the car with both hands: "Congratulations to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for a thousand years, this is the shark pearl that the prince ordered someone to find from Penghai, because of its preciousness, he did not dare to easily register it with other congratulatory gifts, and he deliberately left it until he saw His Royal Highness." ”

Qin Chong's eyes narrowed slightly, and he opened the lid with one hand, revealing the light of the round and full Shuozhu inside, which was indeed a precious thing. "Big brother has a heart, why don't you keep such a valuable thing for yourself?"

Qin Sui smiled and responded: "This kind of superb thing is naturally only available to you. ”

Qin Chong's face was not obvious, and he casually beckoned the people who were busy on the side: "Send it to Liangdi." ”

The good shark bead changed hands to the concubine room, where is the prince making a generous move, and he is obviously slapping people in the face. Qin Sui's face was clearly stiff, blue for a while and white for a while, and he closed his teeth tightly, for fear that he would not be able to help but scold as soon as he opened his mouth.

When it came to the banquet, Xue Ji became more and more suspicious that he looked up to this prince, he was really arrogant, he did things without thinking, and he didn't know how to hide his friendship with Prime Minister Chu Qiu, and he arranged a seat on Chu Qiu's side at the Qianqiu banquet. King An is his eldest brother, but he is dozens of feet away from him, of course, King Ning Qin Xu is not much better, he is on the left side of Qin Sui.

Thinking of what he bumped into on the street that day, Xue Ji didn't know how to meet Qin Xu, so he was simply silent. Qin Sui just smiled gently at the person and didn't speak.

However, Qin Xu's gaze wandered over the two of them, and he said as if he was smiling: "Big brother doesn't bring Lord Chen or Lord Rong, why did he bring a nobody?" ”

The smile on Qin Sui's face was cold, and he turned his head to meet his gaze. "Lu Shuping was imprisoned, and Rong Che took the position of Shangshu, if he came with him, it would really be uneasy tonight."

Qin Xu didn't pay any more attention, turned his head to look ahead, poured himself a glass of wine, and drank it all with his head up. Qin Sui knew that this person had a strange nature, so he didn't look at him anymore, as if he was listening intently to the woman in the middle stroking the Yueqin, and sometimes focusing on admiring the graceful posture of the dancing girl stepping on the lotus.

Xue Ji accidentally looked up and noticed the unusual look on Qin Chong's face, he leaned on the armrest and played with the jade cup, but his eyes kept falling on the door, as if he was expecting something, as if there was a good show about to start.

There was a commotion and crying outside the door, and those who heard it close to the door frowned and looked up, Chu Qiu noticed that something was wrong, and also turned his head to look at the prince, just taking the cynicism on Qin Chong's face and a trace of certainty between his eyebrows into his eyes, and he was even more suspicious.

"Who is so unruly that he dares to make a noise at the Qianqiu banquet!"

The subordinate quickly walked into the hall and ran to Qin Chong, and when he arrived in front of the person, he knelt down and kowtowed, and shouted: "Your Highness, the eldest girl is crying and wants to come in." ”

This voice was enough for everyone present to understand that the eldest girl was the eldest daughter of the prince, and it was a coincidence that her biological mother was from a humble background and was just a slave. Qin Chong glanced at Qin Sui intentionally or unintentionally, and then looked out of the door as if he was solemn: "How does that teach children, is this place where she should come?" ”

At this time, another subordinate came, looking more nervous than the one just now, and opened his mouth and said: "Your Highness, the Tan family is also here, kneeling outside with the eldest girl in his arms...... Your Highness declares it or not? ”

Qin Chong raised his eyes and swept over everyone present, as if he smiled politely: "Let you all laugh." After saying that, he turned cold again, and shouted angrily: "Drive people back!" What are you all doing, is this kind of place for her to be a slut! She is not ashamed, she is so lonely! ”

The two subordinates crawled out of the hall in a row, this farce seemed to be able to end, but Xue Ji had a hunch that it was not so simple, and subconsciously looked at Qin Sui's face, and sure enough, he was already white, and there was a blood mark on his lips, so you can imagine how difficult it was for him to endure this breath. Xue Ji sighed in his heart, the prince is a god, fortunately, Chen Yu is not present, if Chen Yu sees where he can bear this breath.

The prince did live up to Xue Ji's intuition, but after a while, the movement outside the door was even greater, accompanied by an exclamation, the woman known as 'Tan' rushed in with a three- or four-year-old girl in her arms, and regardless of falling to the ground and falling her elbow hurting, she got up and went forward desperately, until she knelt in front of the prince's seat, she couldn't cry.

Qin Chong was already angry, and when he heard the woman's cry, he became even more irritable, smashed a pair of jade chopsticks casually, and shouted: "Who gave you the courage to trespass on the Qianqiu Banquet?" In front of loneliness, crying in front of everyone, what kind of system have you become! Come on, pull it down! ”

Tan Shi panicked, his ten fingers clasped the lines on the floor tiles, and his fingertips were oozing blood, but he still refused to let go: "Your Highness, Ah Nan is almost four years old, and you haven't even seen it a few times!" The slave is a slut, but Ah Nan is your blood and bones, she is just a child, she wants to meet her father! As he spoke, one hand was still pressed on the ground, and the other hand grabbed the hand of the little girl in his arms, pushed forward the pile of paper she was holding tightly in her palm, and cried again: "Ah Nan knows that His Highness has a thousand years, and he has copied the "Book of Filial Piety" day and night to present it to His Highness, but His Highness doesn't even want to see it!" ”

"Enough!" Qin Chong stood up, pointed to the door, and reprimanded: "Take the two of them out, do you want to say it again!" As he spoke, he glared at Tan fiercely: "There is no mother who is more expensive than a son here, but there is a mother who is cheap, you have stopped your messy mind as soon as possible!" ”

No one had ever seen this meeting, and the dignitaries and dignitaries present were a little at a loss, and they looked at the prince's family affairs plainly, and asked who could be safe?

Xue Ji watched it for a long time but always felt that something was wrong, even if this mother and daughter were anxious and earnest, it was impossible to pick such a time to come out and be ugly, which really ruined the prince's interest, where did they still have the life to dedicate the "Book of Filial Piety"? There are also a lot of people in the prince's mansion, and it is possible to make a mistake at any time, how can you make a mistake in this kind of banquet and let people in? When the two of them were crying outside, they should have been gagged and pulled away......

When I looked back, I was surprised.

The corners of Qin Chong's mouth actually floated with a smile, and Qin Sui's eyes burst bloodshot, his face was distorted extremely hideous, and the clenched fists under the table seemed to be about to lift the table at any time. Xue Ji understood, so he pointed at Sang and scolded Huai, the prince is humiliating King An in a different way!

Chen Yu is not here, and the only person who can appease Qin Sui and should appease Qin Sui is Xue Ji. Xue Ji clearly sensed that Qin Xu was looking at him, or looking at Qin Sui, only hesitated for a moment, then reached out and pressed Qin Sui's fist as Chen Yu had done before, and crossed the temperature of his palm to his cold fingertips, until the violent aura on the person's body gradually faded and turned into a deathly calm.

At this time, there was another commotion outside the door, and this time Qin Chong looked very surprised, obviously he didn't know.

"Your Majesty has arrived!"
