Chapter 62: Mid-Autumn Festival Dinner (3)

Because Mu Cheng won the competition, the atmosphere in the main hall was very good, and the ministers were chatting happily to kill the time waiting for the banquet to officially begin.

"Shen Shilang is really young and promising, he can solve such problems to alleviate the danger of my Mucheng, if he loses the game today, it will definitely have a great impact on the prestige of our Mucheng." An elderly minister and another minister praised Shen Qingchen, and there was no lack of appreciation for Shen Qingchen in their words.

"Yes, in this way, Shen Shilang is more of a general, but he is ...... Haha, forget it, don't talk about it. Another minister said half of his words, but the meaning between the lines was full of dissatisfaction with several princes, although the prince had just experienced everyone in the first competition, but in the end, a fool is still a fool, there is no wisdom at all, let alone becoming the monarch of the world, to put it mildly, the existence of this prince is just a joke in this royal family. The third prince, Yin Ci, although he is full of poetry and books, is too indifferent, has no ambition, how to talk about Anguo, and is indecisive, without the courage to make decisions, at most he can only be a deputy. As for the fourth prince Yin Yuan, although he is more than ambitious, he is too sharp, unscrupulous means to achieve his goal, and he has the ruthlessness of being a monarch, but he has no virtue, how can he be kind to the people of Dawn and hand over the world to such a person, and the sect and society are in great danger. Now there are only these three princes who can be the prince, but none of them have become a weapon, which makes people look at it in their eyes and be anxious in their hearts. On the other hand, Shen Qingchen is full of talent, courageous and responsible, principled in doing things, will not overflow with kindness, and will not be overly harsh, he is the most suitable person to lead the country at the moment, but he was not born in the royal family, and the most basic bloodline is already unqualified, which is really a royal misfortune.

The old minister naturally knew what the minister meant, and he sighed slightly, but did not answer, the words in his heart must not be said, otherwise I am afraid that after leaving this palace, he will die.

Although the minister only whispered a mutilated word, it was listened to by someone who cared, such as Curry.

Curry raised his eyebrows, noncommittal, if he didn't know the true situation of Yin Qi, I am afraid that he would have the same thoughts as this minister, but Yin Qi is a rare genius in this world, so even Shen Qingchen has to give way.

Once, Curry also sighed that he was born Yu and He Shengliang. When talking to Shen Qingchen, he also had a side test, with such a talented Shen Qingchen, if there was no Yin Qi, wouldn't he have the slightest desire to govern the country and secure the country. Shen Qingchen just replied to him: "What I want has always been just a pastoral, and this magnificent country is too big for me."

At that time, Curry realized that Shen Qingchen had never been unable to be an emperor, but he didn't want to be an emperor.

Shen Qingchen didn't hear everyone's comments about him, pressed his eyebrows with a headache, and regretted that he shouldn't have stood up just now, but now he has pushed himself to the cusp, I am afraid that I will have another period of miserable life, and I am even more disgusted with this officialdom in my heart.

Yin Qi has always heard very well, and when he heard the minister's words, he smiled indifferently, not unhappy, but a little gloating, knowing that Shen Qingchen was afraid that he would be troubled for a while, as a person who has always liked to tease Shen Qingchen, the more anxious Shen Qingchen was, the happier Yin Qi became.

Yin Yuan drank a glass of wine depressedly, because Curry was from the feudal country, in order to entertain guests, Yin Xiao specially ordered someone to prepare the wine of the feudal country, not like the sake of the past, the spicy wine was drunk down his throat, and Yin Yuan coughed several times before stopping, and the already depressed mood became more irritable.

"This wine is shipped from the feudal kingdom, and it is very spicy, so let's drink less." Shen Wanyan sat on the side, and knew that Yin Yuan was not happy, but the liquor hurt her body, so she couldn't help but persuade.

", don't bother me." Yin Yuan didn't even look at Shen Wanyan, and vented all his anger against Shen Qingchen on Shen Wanyan.

Shen Wanyan bit her lower lip, embarrassed because Yin Yuan gave her no face in public, and finally didn't say anything, lowered her head and was silent.

At this time, a group of palace maids removed the melons and fruits on the table, and then brought up one dish after another.

"It's not too early, let's eat first." Yin Xiao smiled and said to Curry, "This eight-treasure duck is a famous dish in Mucheng, Curry must try it." “

"Your Majesty." Hearing this, Curry picked up a piece of duck meat, paused before putting it in his mouth, glanced at the dishes on the table and the dishes on Yin Qi's table next to him, and quietly put the duck meat back on the plate.

Yin Xiaoben was only polite, and did not pay attention to the movements of Curry's hands, but Yin Qi, who was helping Shen Qingyan tidy up his clothes because Shen Qingyan accidentally made tea, noticed Curry's strange appearance, exchanged glances with Curry, looked at the dishes on the table, and gradually narrowed his eyes.

Shen Qingyan on the side just picked up the chopsticks and wanted to pick up the vegetables, but Yin Qi suddenly restrained his movements, looked at Yin Qi suspiciously, and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong?"

Yin Qi didn't speak, but just motioned to Shen Qingyan not to touch these dishes.

Although Yin Qi didn't have anything unusual on his face, he couldn't stop sneering in his heart, so many methods, he actually used such a low-level method as poisoning. That's right, on Yin Qi's table, almost every dish was poisoned, except for the eight-treasure duck, and only the eight-treasure duck on the Curry's table was poisonous, it should be that the palace maid accidentally messed up the order when serving the dishes, and mistakenly served the dishes on Yin Qi's table to Curry's table.

Yin Qi picked up the chopsticks, picked up a piece of fish meat, sniffed it carefully, and frowned suspiciously, the poison in this dish is the most ordinary Heding Red, with Yin Qi's understanding of Concubine Li and Yin Yuan, they will never use this kind of light and detectable poison, but will choose a poison that will not be detected even after death. So, if it's not these two, who will it be?

Shen Wanyan on the side lowered her eyes and silently sandwiched the dishes, as if she was still sad about the shameless thing that Yin Yuan had given her just now, in fact, her palms were already covered with cold sweat, and she had been trying to suppress the tension and avoid the trembling of her body. The poison was placed by her. After seeing the portrait of Shen Qingyan painted by Yin Yuan that day, Shen Wanyan could no longer suppress her jealousy and hatred for Shen Qingyan, and finally decided to take advantage of the grandest and most chaotic moment of the Mid-Autumn Festival dinner to do what she had been wanting to do all these years and get rid of Shen Qingyan.

Shen Wanyan made two preparations, the first is poisoning, she doesn't have too many connections, so she can only collect the most common poison like Heding Hong, but the poison is not strange, but effective. Before the banquet began, she secretly went to the imperial dining room under the pretext of going to Xiaoxie, and she knew that each table of dishes was arranged separately, and the name would be pasted next to it. At that time, it was in a busy stage, the master was busy cooking, and the palace people were doing it on the side, and no one would go to guard the prepared dishes. Shen Wanyan sneaked to the imperial dining room, took advantage of the fact that there was no one in the place where the dishes were placed, quickly found the dishes with the names of Yin Qi and Shen Qingyan, and sprinkled the poison, and the whole process was unaware. Shen Wanyan planned to get rid of Yin Qi together in this way, which could be regarded as solving a matter for Yin Qi. However, Shen Wanyan, who had a simple idea, never thought that if Yin Qi could really be solved so easily, Yin Yuan would no longer be so troubled by Yin Qi.

Shen Wanyan didn't dare to look up at Yin Qi and Shen Qingyan because of nervousness and weakness, so she could only pretend to eat while pricking up her ears to listen to the movement over there But she didn't hear any change for a long time, she raised her head with some confusion, and pretended to look at Yin Qi and Shen Qingyan unintentionally, only to find that the dishes on the table of Yin Qi and Shen Qingyan hadn't moved at all, and the two were just drinking tea, occasionally smiling and talking.

Shen Wanyan quickly lowered her head again, knowing that Yin Qi and Shen Qingyan had discovered that the dish was poisonous. Shen Wanyan swallowed her saliva, and then straightened her chest again, hiding her weakness. There was a faint chagrin in his heart, but he quickly regained his composure and waited for the second plan to take effect.

"Curry, I heard that there is a national treasure in the domain, I wonder if I can open everyone's eyes." Yin Xiao saw that everyone had already eaten almost, so he ordered someone to remove the dishes and mentioned the third competition with Curry, but because Mucheng had already won, he just said that he wanted to open his eyes, but in fact, he still planned to completely destroy Mucheng's prestige in his heart.

"Indeed, there is a dancing girl in my country, named Taka, who has excellent dancing skills, and while dancing, she can dance and embroider, which has been regarded as a national treasure." Curry readily admitted that he was very proud, "Today, for the sake of Chaohe, I specially brought this woman to offer a dance." “

"Oh? There is such a strange woman in the world, call her up quickly, let everyone see. Yin Xiao smiled, it was the first time he had heard of such a talent, and he was looking forward to it.

In response to Yin Xiao, there was a sudden burst of music, with a unique exotic style, as if people had arrived at the vassal kingdom in an instant.

A woman in an orange dance dress slowly stepped into the hall, and at the same time, the palace people also erected a blank embroidered cloth in the center of the hall, like a screen, and various colors of silk threads were placed next to it, and the threads had been threaded into the needles.

Taka wore a dance costume unique to the feudal kingdom, and his hair was turned into a long braid, and he wore a hat with a long veil at the end, covering half of his face, revealing only a pair of deep, exotic eyes. The dance dress is also connected with fluffy and flowing tulle, and the whole person is like falling in the fog, and the snow-white slender waist is not covered by clothes, which fully shows the beauty of the body.

Taka twisted his waist with the music, the waist of the water snake class was unusually soft, and the fingers were also completed with the most appropriate curvature, and the rhythm of the body fully reflected the softness of the woman.

Yin Xiao looked at Taka, who was full of mystery, and was so fascinated that he couldn't take his eyes off it, completely forgetting that this was still a game that was not on the surface. Concubine Li glanced at Yin Xiao, who had already looked straight, and pursed her lips disdainfully, she no longer had any illusions about Yin Xiao.

Not only Yin Xiao, but almost all the men present were fascinated by Taka. Even Yin Yuan looked at Taka intently, although he was not like Yin Xiao, but it could be seen that he was also attracted by Taka.
