Chapter 81: Conspiracy (5)
Concubine Li deliberately wore a gorgeous brocade dress today, with countless peonies embroidered with gold thread, which looked both beautiful and atmospheric. Closely following Ling Xiong, the head of the case held his chest up, completely in the posture of the main palace.
Seeing that the people in the Imperial Garden basically knelt down and saluted, Concubine Li's face showed an extremely proud smile, originally all this belonged to the one in Fengqi Palace, but now it is all her own, and her heart is naturally overjoyed.
The emperor took his seat, and the people kneeling on the ground got up and returned to their seats. Since Ling Yan was the crown prince of a country, he was sitting at the first table under Concubine Li, and Su Qianyue was sitting next to him. followed by Situ Lie's table, followed by Murong Yu, followed by the children of the royal family and several ministers of the court, arranged in turn.
As soon as everyone was seated, the eunuchs hurried in and placed the flasks on the table in turn.
Han Xin raised his eyes and saw that the wine jug that had been held was firmly placed on Ling Yan's table, Han Xin's eyes lit up, and then he shifted his gaze.
Looking at it again, I saw that after the eunuch brought in the wine, Ling Long's eyes had been lingering on the cold table, and there was a little smile in his expectant eyes, which was similar to the original jealous look.
Han Xin also wanted to see what Ling Long put in the wine, and it was expected that it would not be a good thing, but there was no need to worry, as long as Ling Yan drank it, he would know what it was, if it was poison, it would really help him.
Ling Xiong glanced around, raised the wine glass in his hand, and said loudly: "Today, it is the farewell banquet of Prince Lie and Prince Yu, come, everyone toast to the two guests who came from afar, I hope that the Eastern Jin Dynasty can coexist peacefully with Xuanwu and Chiling without interfering with each other!" ”
Situ Lie and Murong Yu raised their wine glasses and signaled to everyone, and drank the wine in their hands in one gulp.
Ling Long saw Situ Lie take a sip of the wine in the cup, his eyes were excited, and the smile on the corner of his mouth floated up and was pressed again, repeating it many times.
Hanxin looked around the entire imperial garden, there were several envoys who came to the Eastern Jin Dynasty this time, but just now Ling Xiong did not mention Su Qianyue of Nanshang, thinking that Su Qianyue should be about to marry into the Eastern Jin Dynasty, so now he didn't shy away from everything at all, sat directly next to Ling Yan, and raised his hand from time to time to pour wine for Ling Yan.
Sure enough. Before everyone sat down, Ling Xiong spoke again: "Take advantage of today to tell you a piece of good news." Nanshang is about to marry my Eastern Jin Dynasty, and Princess Qianyue is about to marry into the Prince's Mansion and become the crown princess of my Eastern Jin Dynasty. ”
As soon as the words fell, there was a lot of discussion in the crowd, most of them were congratulations and congratulations, but the face of the Zong Master sitting in the corner suddenly darkened, and he didn't say a word, his eyes looked at Ling Xiong and then swept over Ling Yan, a burst of disappointment and sadness.
Hanxin looked at everyone's flattering faces, and only felt extremely ugly. When I looked at it again, I noticed that Master Zong in the corner, there was a burst of loss on his body, although he still straightened his back, but the white hair on his head was faintly visible in the candlelight, announcing that this was an old father who had just lost his daughter.
His daughter's bones are not cold, but his son-in-law has taken the newcomer into his arms and taken care of him, forgetting the tragic death of his daughter to the clouds, and he doesn't know how lonely his daughter is underground?
At the banquet, the staggered and laughter were staggered, but the cold heart was a little bored in an instant, and I don't know if the appearance of the master touched his heart, and he just wanted to go out to breathe at the moment.
Ling Long didn't know when he left the Imperial Garden, and his seat was empty.
At this moment, I saw that Ling Yan was still bowing his head and whispering from time to time, and suddenly his face turned crimson, his breathing was short, his eyes were red, and he put his hand on Su Qianyue's waist from time to time.
Su Qianyue has always taken care of Ling Yan properly and thoughtfully on the grounds that she is not strong enough to drink, and she looks like a wife. Seeing Ling Yan's movements, he looked a little eager to refuse and welcome. Slowly got up and helped Ling Yan out of the imperial garden.
I wanted to go out with him, but I couldn't find an excuse. Situ Lie sat on the side, chatting with others from time to time, looking at the cold look, as if he knew everything, and said in a low voice: "Ah Xing feels that this place is boring, if you want to go for a walk, just go, don't get lost." ”
Hanxin gave Situ Lie an understanding look, then got up and slowly retreated. Unexpectedly, when I came to the door, I ran into Ling Long's maidservant, who was coldly recognized as the one who went to the medicine just now.
The maid bowed down to Han Xin, "Childe, is the eighth princess invited?" ”
Chill asked again uncertainly, "Please me?" ”
The maid hurriedly nodded: "Yes, the princess said that there is something she wants to ask the son, so please ask the son to move." ”
Hanxin also wanted to see what tricks this Ling Long used, so he pretended not to know, followed the maid and walked out of the imperial garden.
