419 Reception Banquet (2)

Qinglian instantly drooped her face, and it was undeniable that what Zhou Mingmu said was right, "Then next time, husband, will you bring a concubine with you when you enter the palace alone?" The concubine has never entered the palace once. Coquettishly swaying Zhou Mingmu's arm, he quickly broke free, took a few steps back, and Qinglian sank her face, "Zhou Mingmu, what do you mean, where did I offend you, who are you showing this stinky face?" You think I'm happy to stay in the Chengguo Mansion, don't you forget, you promised to take me back to Beijing at the beginning, and now you want to drive me away, don't you? ”

Zhou Mingmu had a terrible headache, his brain was buzzing and hurting a lot, he didn't want to talk to Qinglian more, and went straight to the study, he had to lie down and rest, and the evening reception banquet had to cheer up 120,000 points. Honglu Siqing didn't expect that he would really let him receive Yueli's regent Yeluhu, he laughed dryly a few times, there are many capable ministers in the court, why did it still fall on his head?

There was no way, this was an order from the emperor, he could only accept it gladly, and after dressing up, he accompanied Yeluhu and his party into the palace to see the reception banquet in the evening. Qin Suzhi shook his head: "Holy Lord, the concubine body still doesn't go, this Kang'er has just returned to the concubine's side, and the concubine body wants to accompany him more." Holy Lord, you might as well go by yourself! "Why bother pestering her to go with her, she has to stay with her Kang'er.

The emperor's face was gloomy, and he would have told Qin Su later that Kang'er was still alive. She can still put more thought on him, now it's okay, the whole mind is on Kang'er's body, and she doesn't want to think about it, if it weren't for him, Kang'er is afraid that it would be impossible for Kang'er to lie down safely by her side. Qin Su knew that the emperor's mistake was committed, and he was angry with a child, so he could only persuade in a low voice: "Holy Lord, the concubine is tired these days, I really don't want to go, I want to rest in the dormitory, okay?" ”

"Not good!" The emperor blurted out without thinking about it, he just didn't like Qin Su to put Kang'er first, you must know where Kang'er came from without him, this time it was Qin Su's turn to cry and laugh, the emperor's child was really good-tempered, and suddenly the emperor and her said that his body would not be able to grow for a year and a half, her heart softened, she held the emperor's hand lightly, nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go with you!" ”

"Su'er, what you said is true, you accompany me, not Kang'er." The emperor was still a little incredulous, this surprise came too quickly, and he couldn't accept it all of a sudden. Qin Su scratched the tip of the emperor's nose affectionately, and said with a light smile: "Of course it's true, it's hard to become a concubine and lie to you!" "If it weren't for the wind banquet, the emperor really wanted to hug Qin Su and sit quietly with his eyes closed, which was also a kind of happiness.

He didn't regret it at all, he had long fallen in love with Qin Su, when Queen Pan was alive, he didn't cross the slightest, and kept his distance, if he had asked Queen Pan for her earlier, I am afraid that there would not be a warm scene now. The emperor is guarding the clouds and seeing the moon, Qin Su sighed secretly in her heart, she can accompany Kang'er for a long time, but the emperor is different, the companionship is less than one day, as soon as this topic is mentioned, Qin Su's mood instantly became heavy.

If he can find the divine doctor He Qun as soon as possible, not only will he be able to detoxify Lin Dongxian, but it is best to let him see the emperor's body and prolong the emperor's life as much as possible, Qin Su wants to grow up with Kang'er with him, I don't know if she can achieve this wish? When the emperor took Qin Su to the imperial garden, almost all the ministers and their families arrived, Yelu Hu was still in the future, the emperor was a little displeased, he was the king of a country, Yueli was defeated by Da Yue, that is, a defeated country, how could he be more powerful than him?

Before seeing Yeluhu, the first impression of him was not good, the courtiers and their families knelt down to greet the emperor and Qin Su, shouting long live, and as soon as the emperor raised his hand, he motioned for them to get up and quickly sit down. Qin Su's eyes couldn't wait to look for Zhou Mingmu in the crowd, and found Zhou Mingmu, who was sitting there alone, without Lin Dongxian by his side.

A trace of loneliness flashed in Qin Su's eyes, he originally thought that he could see Lin Dongxian today, who would have thought that Lin Dongxian didn't come, it's right to think about it, Lin Dongxian's body is so heavy, she is about to give birth, and more importantly, she is poisoned. Qin Su wanted to go out of the palace to visit her, but unfortunately she was interrupted by the emperor, and she had to wait until tomorrow to leave the palace, and she definitely couldn't do it today. Qin Su could only endure and wait for tomorrow to come.

She can't be so willful, her current identity can't allow her to come nonsense, and she faintly feels the emperor's next plan in her heart. Zhou Qingshu failed to seize the throne this time, and was ordered by the emperor to be taken down from the prison, and the throne was lost to him, and Zhou Qingyi was killed by him again. I was afraid that this throne was wanted, he shook his head, shook off the thoughts in his mind, Qin Su picked up the tea cup in his hand and took a few sips to moisten his throat.

The emperor and his ministers began to chat and talk about state affairs, Qin Su had been by Empress Pan's side for many years, and he was no stranger to these. When the emperor once discussed state affairs with Empress Pan, he did not turn his back to her, and now Da Yue still needs to be prepared for danger in times of peace. Although Warat said that she was reconciled with Da Yue, Zhou Qingyou married the prince and became the crown princess of Wara, but she is not the mother of a country in Warat. And she is afraid of Da Yue, after all, she is the pearl in the palm of Queen Pan's hand, and the emperor actually ordered her to go to Wara and kiss.

Qin Su sighed, there was inevitably an element of her existence. There is also Yueli, who took the initiative to provoke a war between the two countries, and now that the regent and his entourage have entered Beijing, they are still putting up a shelf, and they haven't come here so late, obviously they don't take Da Yue seriously. Lin Xiangqi stood up suddenly and walked up to the emperor, "Holy Lord, the regent of Yueli this month is too rampant, and he doesn't take Da Yue and you in his eyes at all, what time is this, they haven't come yet." ”

As soon as he said this, the faces of many ministers changed wonderfully, and they couldn't help but secretly wonder, what did Lin Xiangqi mean by this? Chang Mingsheng's sharp gaze shot over, Lin Xiangqi still didn't change his face, Lang Hua stroked his chin with interest, it is difficult for Lin Xiangqi to provoke a war between the two countries again, the lives of the people will be ruined, and the people will not be able to make a living. In the past, he didn't think Lin Xiangqi was so annoying, and Langhua had a bad impression of him because of this small move.

As for Zhou Mingmu, he only raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard this, Lin Xiangqi really dared to say it, he and Yeluhu had never confronted each other, and he didn't know much about this person, but it was rumored that Yueli's government was in his hands, and the young emperor had reached the age of pro-government, and he had not yet relinquished power. As the emperor's own uncle, he has not relinquished power for a long time, and this time he personally sent an envoy to Dayue, I am afraid that it has another deep meaning.

Zhou Mingmu picked up the wine glass in his hand, pursed his lips and drank a few sips, this is really strong, how can he solve his worries only Du Kang, Zhou Qingshu was sent to the prison by the emperor, his heart was still not happy, the toxins in Lin Dongxian's body have not been cleared. From time to time, he would have pain, and he hated to be by her side and share it for her, all because of him to make the situation like this.

The emperor's expression was obscure, so that he couldn't guess his thoughts, "Lin Xiang, then according to you, what do you think I should do at this moment?" In front of so many courtiers and family members, the emperor asked Lin Xiangqi directly. Lin Xiangqi thought that the emperor would follow his words, wait for Yeluhu and his party to come, give them a dismount, and let them know that Da Yue is not easy to come.

But he didn't expect the emperor to let him open his mouth and say, this is not obviously digging a pit for himself to make himself jump in. Lin Xiangqi didn't make a sound, and the emperor let out a heavy snort from the end of his nose, as if forcing him to answer, "Holy Lord, the war between Dayue and Yueli this time was provoked by Yueli on her own initiative. Later, I led the troops to meet the battle with General Zhou, countless soldiers sacrificed, and the lives of the people were devastated, so it was so difficult to win this victory.

But this Yueli's regent and his entourage didn't seem to take Da Yue in their eyes, and they could come late for the wind banquet, so that the saint and Concubine Su Niangniang waited here for a long time. "So, Lin Xiang, according to what you mean, is I going to have another war with Yueli next?" The hands under the emperor's robe tightly held Qin Su's cold jade hand, Qin Su was not out of confinement yet, but today he was finally persuaded by the emperor.

Qin Su's gaze subconsciously fell on the emperor's face, she had served by Empress Pan's side for more than ten years, and she almost knew the emperor's emotions well, and the emperor was afraid that he was angry at this moment. This Lin Xiangqi is usually very cautious, how could he say such nonsense today, even if he is dissatisfied with the regent of Yueli, he should not say it in front of so many people, if he didn't know, he thought that the emperor didn't want to see Yeluhu.

There are many people, and it will be troublesome when it reaches Yeluhu's ears, it is not that Da Yue is afraid of Yueli, but that the emperor's body can't support it for so long, and he still has a lot of things to do next, or Qin Su understands him. The emperor smiled at Qin Su and handed her a reassuring look.

"Wechen is afraid, please calm the anger, Wechen doesn't mean that." Lin Xiangqi hurriedly explained, the original intention was not so, and it was misinterpreted by the emperor. It's not that Da Yue and Yue Li can't cause war anymore, but Yelu Hu is so arrogant, if he doesn't give him some color, he is afraid that Da Yue will be afraid of him. It is clear that Yueli is the defeated country, and the momentum is more arrogant than Dayue.

The emperor snorted, no one dared to speak for Lin Xiangqi, "Weichen just thinks that friendship is on both sides, and Chang Shoufu is a veteran of the two dynasties, I believe you and Weichen also have the same thoughts." Lin Xiangqi saw that the emperor was slowly calming down, and he continued to point the finger at Chang Mingsheng. Chang Mingsheng, who was named, raised his eyebrows slightly, and the old hand pinched the tea cup in his hand, Lin Xiangqi, the old fox, actually pulled him.

He is a veteran of the two dynasties, which is not wrong at all, but it does not mean that he wants to speak the truth on this occasion, and the eyes of the emperor and the courtiers and their families all invariably turn to him, which is not pleasant. Chang Mingsheng has a little more hatred for Lin Xiangqi in his heart, he usually does not violate the river water with Lin Xiangqi's well water, why did he go crazy today and take him with him? The emperor cast a faint glance at Lin Xiangqi, and when he saw his expression, he almost subconsciously twisted his eyebrows, and a trace of disappointment flashed in his eyes.

It is not easy for Lin Xiangqi to sit firmly in the position of prime minister from a scholar to today, first of all, he has a personal talent, which is the reason why the emperor appreciates him. Over the years, he has been sent by the emperor to the front line for disaster relief, water control, and corruption several times, and the emperor remembers his contribution in his heart. Not long ago, he accompanied Zhou Qingshu and escorted Wara Hazhuomu and his party out of Beijing, seeing this, Zhou Qingyou married Prince Wara and became the crown princess.

The emperor didn't know why Lin Xiangqi seemed to be a different person, so tricky. admits that he does not deny that what Lin Xiangqi said is wrong, but at this juncture, on this occasion, this kind of thing should not be said. Qin Su's jade hand has been held tightly by the emperor and has never let go. The atmosphere in the Imperial Garden was at an impasse for a while, and this was Qin Su's voice: "Since the regent of Yueli has not yet arrived, then we might as well wait for them while watching the song and dance, what does the Holy Lord think?" ”

This can be regarded as relieving Chang Mingsheng, otherwise once Chang Mingsheng speaks, he is afraid that he will provoke Lin Xiangqi to have a war of words with him. The emperor smiled slightly, "Okay, according to Concubine Su's wishes, Liangsheng, singing and dancing." After receiving the emperor's instructions, Mr. Chang replied respectfully, waved his hand, and called out in his throat. The atmosphere in the Imperial Garden slowly became softer, not as tense as just now.

Lin Xiangqi sat down indignantly, and looked at Qin Su, when did she and Chang Mingsheng become so good friends, and actually spoke for Chang Mingsheng in public. Lin Xiangqi, who was puzzled, suddenly became irritable today, he didn't seem to know many things, and being kept in the dark was very uncomfortable.

"Madam, when you wake up, the slave will go and order the kitchen to bring you food." Jade sharp-eyed Lin Dongxian opened her eyes, hurriedly stood up from the ground, and said with a smile. Lin Dongxian was helped by her to slowly get up from the bed, seeing that Lin Dongxian seemed to be in a good mood, Cui Yu said tentatively: "Madam, the young master came here before, and stood outside the door for a long time. ”

didn't come in to disturb Lin Dongxian, in fact, Cuiyu didn't want to say anything about this, who let Zhou Mingmu marry Lin Dongxian, such a good woman didn't know how to cherish, went out to fight, and brought back a concubine from the border, and came to provoke Lin Dongxian again and again. It's really not a bit of proportion, Cuiyu hasn't been in the mansion for a long time, but she has heard a lot of news, and she can't like Qinglian at all.

But who let her see that Lin Dongxian actually cared about Zhou Mingmu very much, sometimes she would stroke her lower abdomen, muttering and talking, sometimes she would be in a daze at the empty room, and even call Zhou Mingmu's name in her sleep, and when she woke up, she seemed to forget and never mentioned Zhou Mingmu. I'm afraid that the deeper the love, the deeper the hurt, looking at Lin Dongxian's sad appearance, Cuiyu couldn't bear it, "Cuiyu, you don't need to tell me this kind of thing in the future, by the way, are the courtiers in the imperial garden today to catch the wind for the regent of Yueli?" ”

Lin Dongxian patted the back of her hand with her backhand, Cuiyu is a smart maid and should be able to remember her words. "Madam, the slave knows, you are right, I heard that Aunt Qing is still pestering the young master to take her into the palace together, but the young master refused. I'm sorry, ma'am, but the slave forgot again. The slave will go to the kitchen and bring you dinner. Cuiyu blurted out excitedly as she spoke, only to realize that she had said the wrong thing again, so she hurried to the kitchen.
