Chapter 231: Desire to add sin

Cheng Xi has been secretly looking at the two beauties in costume who followed behind the emperor, looking at the outfit and the complicated headdress that symbolizes identity, Cheng Xi was dazzled and secretly smacked his tongue, it was really more exquisite than what he saw on TV.

Just thinking that those complicated headdresses were piled on his head, Cheng Xi thought in his heart, how tired it should be to carry this pile on his head all day.

However, the appearance of the two is really good, only heavy makeup has lost the youthful vitality that a young woman should have, looking very heavy, Cheng Xi is narcissistic in his heart, compared to them, he still looks much better.

Only after the emperor took the queen and the imperial concubine to the first place and sat down, Cheng Xi didn't dare to look up, and sat obediently beside Princess Rui.

After that, there was an official greeting from the emperor, I haven't seen the emperor for many years, I miss it very much, and there are greetings like these years, Cheng Xi listened, but he lost the taste of the family banquet, and felt that it was not interesting.

If he really intends to hold a family banquet, he shouldn't call Xue Youxiang and Zhao Zuoxiang over, after all, he has so many concubines in the harem, if he invites all his old fathers-in-law, I'm afraid that this hall won't be able to sit down.

Moreover, Cheng Xi remembered that at noon yesterday in the main hall, the emperor seemed to have punished Xue Youxiang for thinking about it behind closed doors in the mansion, right?

It didn't take long for Cheng Xi to know what the emperor meant by calling these two people, as a peacemaker, everything is a family, there are some small misunderstandings and small frictions, and there is no need to worry too much, but what the emperor said is easy, everyone wants their lives, or is it a small misunderstanding and small friction?

It's okay if the emperor doesn't mention it, King Rui can still pretend to say hello to Xue Youxiang lukewarmly, and when the emperor mentions it like this, King Rui's temper will come up again, and he will quarrel again.

Cheng Xi, who was secretly eating the pastries on the table absentmindedly, couldn't help but raise his eyes to look at the opposite side at this time, and then heard King Rui say coldly, "Since Lord Xue said so, why don't this king also send someone to tie up Lord Xue's son and throw him off the cliff?" ”

Then Lord Xue responded, "Lord Wang, the lower official said, the previous incident was completely unknown to the lower official, and the latter one was also a misunderstanding, and the lower official has always been polite to send your eldest son to the capital, but the prince insisted on planting a crime against the lower official, why should this crime be added?" ”

Ge Shu shook his fan, chuckled, and said solemnly, "Heh, Lord Xue, you can push it and pick yourself clean." ”

Yesterday in the main hall, Zhao Zuoxiang, who would have helped Xue Youxiang together, remained silent with a cold face at this time, afraid that he was still angry with Ge Shu because of his daughter's affairs.

Lord Xue clenched his fists, "Xiaguan told the truth, King Rui and His Royal Highness the Prince don't believe it, and Xiaguan can't help it." ”

The emperor saw that he was self-defeating, and when he mentioned this matter, he made them quarrel, so he hurriedly stopped him, "This family banquet, those things in the court will not be mentioned for the time being, it is rare to get together, come, I will give everyone a drink." ”

The emperor got up to toast, and they couldn't continue to talk about this endlessly, so they had to pick up the glass that the attendant poured the wine on, and drank it, and then they came together to toast the emperor, but they didn't talk much to each other, let alone toast.

King Rui and Ge Shu toasted with Zhao Zuoxiang with a cup, but Zhao Zuoxiang also pulled down his face, and directly snorted coldly and turned his face to the side, not giving King Rui face at all, King Rui couldn't hold it on his face, and he was angry, but because his son was really ashamed, he had to grit his teeth and endure it, so they basically drank their own wine, or toasted with the emperor, and they didn't care about each other at all.

And on Cheng Xi's side, the Zhao family and the Xue family were originally rivals who did not deal with each other, and they were greeted in an official tone, but they were also wrong, Princess Rui was not in the capital all the year round, and she was not familiar with them, when someone talked to her, she smiled politely and responded, and no one spoke, so she sat down with Cheng Xi and bit her ear and whispered.

Of course Cheng Xi knows the reason why they look at her, I am afraid that it is because this face is too similar to some people, Cheng Xi thought in his heart, he should also follow the example of the Xue family, cover her face with a veil and then go out.

As a result, this banquet can be imagined, it is not like a family banquet at all, and the emperor may also feel a little embarrassed like this, so he said to the imperial concubine on the side, "Ru'er, didn't you also prepare singing and dancing to cheer up?" ”

Ru Guifei hurriedly smiled and replied, "Yes, the concubine almost forgot, little Xuanzi." ”

Hou listened to the summons of the concubine on the side, and was busy preparing, and after a while, a group of dancing girls came up, waving their water sleeves and dancing with the music in the middle of the hall, Cheng Xi tilted his head and looked at the dancing girls in the field, this long water sleeve danced, it was very good-looking, but it was not attractive, after looking at it for a while, Cheng Xi felt a little drowsy, and had to look around to refresh himself.

Only Cheng Xi looked around, but he saw the emperor's gaze, and he also didn't put it on the dancing girl in the hall, and floated to her side from time to time.

Cheng Xi chuckled in his heart, and said in his heart that this guy was not coveting his beauty, so Cheng Xi kept paying attention to the emperor's gaze, but finally found that in the end, it was his own narcissism, and people's eyes were not looking at her, but at Zhao Yu, who had been hanging his head on the side.

Cheng Xi's mind flashed, and he instantly understood the twists and turns in this, this emperor actually really fell in love with Zhao Yu, looking at this posture, I am afraid that he is still very concerned, no wonder he will agree to marry Miss Xue and Ge Shu, and no wonder this Zhao family also wants to send Zhao Yu to the palace.

As far as the emperor looks at Zhao Yu from time to time, if Zhao Yu enters the palace and is properly favored, then the Zhao family wants to suppress the Xue family, which has a queen, or directly squeeze the queen down and let the Zhao family woman replace her.

In the palace, sisters serve a husband, which is really common and ordinary, but Zhao Yu is afraid that he can't accept his sister and man in the end, and he also enters this palace that eats people and doesn't spit out bones, and sees that his marriage contract has been ruined by the emperor's constant marriage, so he chased Xu Sanlang and wanted to live Xu Saburo as a lifesaver.

The emperor's frequent gaze here, even Cheng Xi noticed it, and of course the two women beside the emperor also saw it more clearly, just like the concubine, even if she was unwilling, even if it was for the benefit of the family, she would not say anything, but Empress Xue had a cold face, and when the singing and dancing in the hall was over, she said with a smile, "Your Majesty, I heard that my sister's little sister is a well-known talented woman in the capital, especially if she plays a good piano, today is a family banquet, and she is not an outsider. Why don't you let her play a song for everyone? ”

For example, the concubine glanced at the queen without a trace, and didn't understand what the queen was thinking? It stands to reason that this queen should suppress her little sister and not let her have a chance to be in the limelight, why did she suddenly make a noise to let her little sister come out to play the piano?

Just didn't wait for the emperor to speak, but Mrs. Zhao, who was sitting next to Zhao Yu, took the first step and said, "The little girl is not feeling well during this time, I'm afraid I can't give everyone a performance, please forgive your majesty." ”

Zhao Yu lowered his head on the side and did not speak.

The emperor's gaze looked at Zhao Yu and asked, "Xiao Yu is not feeling well?" What's wrong with it? Have you ever seen a doctor? ”

This concerned tone made everyone's eyes focus on the emperor and Zhao Yu, and Ge Shu frowned when he looked at Zhao Yu.

Mrs. Zhao looked at her daughter on the side and lowered her head stupidly and didn't speak, so she had to respond busily, "I've seen the doctor, it's not a big deal, I just need to take care of myself." ”

This is like the concubine didn't understand what the queen had in mind, seeing that all eyes were focused on the little sister, the little sister seemed to be a little abnormal, and was about to find a topic to uncover the stubble, but Ge Shu, who didn't want to sit below, suddenly said loudly, "Is Miss Zhao a famous talented woman in the capital?" I heard that Ning'er is more famous, since Miss Zhao is unwell, why don't you let Ning'er come out and perform a show for everyone. ”

The Ning Er in this song Shu's mouth of course refers to the young lady of the Xue family, that is, his fiancée Xue Ning, who was married by the emperor, and she is only called so affectionate, but it makes the Xue family and Xue Ning slightly stunned, when did this Song Shu become so familiar with Xue Ning (himself)? How can you call Ning'er so affectionate?

The Xue family was stunned, but the emperor had already smiled and said, "You haven't married yet, so you praised it first?" Okay, then let your Ning'er come out and perform. ”

At this time, all eyes were focused on Xue Ning's body, the emperor had already spoken, and the people of the Xue family were not good enough to speak out against it, it was impossible for the Zhao family to prevaricate with physical discomfort first, but their Xue family also said that their daughter was unwell, right?

Seeing only the veil covering Xue Ning's face, the queen asked suspiciously, "Ning'er, what is your face?" ”

Xue Ning had already come back to her senses at this time, but she couldn't understand in her heart, Ge Shu, who obviously hadn't had much contact with herself, suddenly spoke, and her tone seemed to be quite familiar with her, and pushed her out to perform for him, and when she heard her sister Queen ask, Xue Ning Shili opened her mouth and responded, "Niangniang, Ning Er's face is a little allergic and red, so ......"

The queen didn't doubt it, nodded knowingly, and said, "Since everyone wants you to come out and perform, behave well." ”

Xue Ning responded, and soon a palace maid set up tables and chairs in the main hall and placed the guqin.

Xue Ning stood up, Lianbu moved lightly to the main hall, and Shi Li said, "It's ugly." After that, she sat down in the middle of the hall, put on a posture, and stroked the guqin in her hand, the pleasant sound of the piano floated out from between her slender fingers.

The sound of the piano gradually changed from melodious to brisk, and then from brisk to agitated, Cheng Xi frowned slightly when he listened, and always felt that this tune sounded a little weird, and just when Cheng Xi felt strange, the strings of the piano in Xue Ning's hand suddenly broke, and at this moment, several flying knives suddenly flew out from under the guqin, flying directly towards the emperor in the first place.

Then the field became chaotic, only to hear the person shouting to protect the emperor, protect the emperor, and arrest the assassin, and the field instantly became a mess.

Cheng Xi stared at Xue Ning on the field, always feeling a little strange, Princess Rui on the side was calm, not as flustered as other female dependents, seeing that Cheng Xi had been staring at the center of the hall and not moving, thinking that he was scared stupid, and stretched out his hand to hug Cheng Xi and comforted, "Don't worry, with the prince here, it will be fine." ”
