Netizens upload chapters Chapter 161 refuses
He Ying walked slowly towards the palace, just now with Chen Li, it is impossible to say that she has no waves in her heart at all. It's just that just when she was excited about Chen Li's sweet words, she knew very clearly in her mind that he couldn't do it. He really can't do it!
Thinking of this, she smiled bitterly and whispered, "I want to dream too, but for some reason, I don't dare to dream now." In fact, He Ying also knows that no matter what life it is, she has never allowed herself to dream. Her dreams are reserved for her own taste. She didn't dare to expect too much, because she couldn't believe that she would be so blessed to get what she dreamed of. Faintly, she even always felt that this sky is actually very ruthless, it will not make people truly complete, if you want to be happy, you must not ask too much!
Night, soon came. Tonight, the Xia King will entertain the ministers and envoys of the Zhou State in the summer palace. He Ying is still dressed in such a neutral manner, wearing a plain white gown, and her hair is still tied up in the style of a palace concubine according to the regulations.
Compared with before, when she entered the banquet this time, she was also sandwiched between the ladies of King Xia, and mixed into the banquet hall with a bunch of flowers. Surrounded by the crowd, He Ying lowered her eyebrows, and after sitting down in her place, she quietly searched for acquaintances.
The place where she was sitting now was the back of the twenty or thirty ladies of the Xia King. She first glanced at King Xia, as well as Queen Xia who was sitting next to him, Princess Qiu and Xi Wei not far away, and then searched for Zhou Yan and Li Qinglai with all her heart.
Zhou Yan and Li Qing are now seated on the right side. It is also a conspicuous location. They are also looking for He Ying. When the two faced each other, they couldn't help but laugh. Seeing their smiles, He Ying's heart warmed.
Everyone had already arrived, and compared with the Zhou Palace, although there were many people here, it was eerily quiet. Everyone sat peacefully in their chairs, and their expressions were much more solemn.
After a while, three drums sounded. King Xia stood up. He walked to the hall with a serious expression and said loudly: "Everyone, today's banquet, Lone's arrangement is different from the past. Although there is a Zhou envoy present today, I want to discuss an important issue with you! ”
At this, he paused. Raise your voice again: "As you all know, our Xia Kingdom has been using the Legalist rule since twenty years ago, and so far, the results have been outstanding. However, not long ago, a person pointed out that it is difficult for the Legalists to govern the country, and it is difficult to prolong the third dynasty! ”
When he said this, He Ying's heart jumped, and as she looked at King Xia, Zhou Yan and Li Qing and Princess Qiu and others who lived in the distance. They all looked at her in unison, actually. Now in the main hall, more than two-thirds of the people who look forward to her have looked forward to her!
King Xia's sharp eyes swept over everyone. Skimmed over He Ying, but did not deliberately stay on her face. He said slowly: "At that time, Yulangjun's words caused an uproar in the Six Kingdoms. Because of this, the Legalists have repeatedly debated and performed. As for my Xia Kingdom, I have repeatedly discussed this matter. Ladies and gentlemen, today is a good day, Yulangjun has become a lonely lady, and all of you well-known Legalists are also here. There are many things that can be explained. ”
When he said this. glanced at He Ying. Seeing that she closed her eyes a little tiredly, her eyes flashed. and moved elsewhere. He Ying rubbed her eyebrows, she really felt a little tired, she had been fighting with King Xia repeatedly in the open and secret for a while, in her mind, although King Xia knew that he was quite talented, he would definitely not reuse it. He is the kind of person who is absolutely conceited and has an extreme contempt for women. Unexpectedly, he raised this question on such an occasion, under her unpreparedness. Pushed her to the cusp of the storm again.
He Ying used to be in the limelight, and always faintly felt that the bigger her name, the safer she was. Now she thinks the opposite, she feels that the more she reveals her knowledge that does not belong to this era, the more dangerous it becomes! Because, standing opposite her is King Xia!
After King Xia said this, he sat back in his place. At this moment, a tall, thin old man stood up. The old man's face was covered with dense wrinkles, and these wrinkles were like grooves, all of which were born vertically. At first glance, people can feel that his personality must be extremely stubborn!
He stood up, saluted King Xia, and said slowly: "Chen Shili has something to ask Yulangjun!" ”
He didn't look at He Ying, and He Ying was also a little ridiculous at this time. She sat herself in the midst of a large crowd of women, flanked by the ladies of the Xia Queen's harem. With such a person, how can she face these people?
Just as he was thinking like this, King Xia's voice came: "Zhou Ji, come out." Sit down beside Lonely. ”
He Ying looked at him coldly, unable to see emotion. Slowly stood up and walked towards King Xia. She walked slowly and carelessly.
He Ying has always been a luminous person. She has a light that allows her to stand in the crowd and yet be noticeable at a glance. And at this moment, she has added a few flavors to her usual cold demeanor to be delicate and delicate. This delicate made many people in the hall quietly talk about it at the moment.
He Ying slowly sat down on the chair designated by King Xia, and then stood up casually to face Shi Li. Her carelessness was felt by almost the entire temple. At that moment, Shi Li frowned, and said loudly: "Your Majesty, is this woman Yulangjun?" ”
His voice was very loud, and everyone in the hall looked at He Ying in a loud voice. King Xia glanced at He Ying and said lightly: "Zhou Ji, Mr. Shi is asking you!" ”
He Ying slowly raised her eyes and said slowly: "Your Majesty, the concubine is faint." I want to ask Your Majesty, if a pearl has to be buried in the earth, a sword is destined to be hidden in a secret room. In this way, even if it has thousands of rays of light, why should it show its brilliance in an impossible place? ”
Her voice was flat, flat. But everyone was stunned. They all looked at King Xia. Everyone here understands that He Ying is protesting in front of everyone that King Xia doesn't know how to cherish her talent and locks her in the harem.
King Xia's eyes darkened, and he said lightly after a while: "Zhou Ji, you are just a woman!" ”
He Ying nodded, turned to Shi Li and said, "Mr. Shi, the concubine is just a woman, and she doesn't dare to discuss with Mr. Shi." With that, she turned around and walked slowly to the back of the ladies.
Everyone, you look at me, I look at you, and they are speechless for a while. King Xia's hand on the chair was loose and tight, tight and loose, and he didn't know what to say for a while. Shi Li and the Legalists glanced at each other, and they were also dumbfounded, not knowing what to say.
The atmosphere was extremely quiet. Everyone was staring at King Xia and He Ying. Watch every subtle change in expression on their faces. He Ying Shi Ran sat back in his place. She closed her eyes and ignored everyone's gazes.
In fact, when King Xia told her that she wanted to give her a certain amount of freedom of movement, she expected that there would be today. Xia Wang's move is most likely to push her out, and he may even ignore her gender and use her again. However, He Ying secretly sneered: You can use it if you want to? Since you have a compelling reason, you have to pay attention to me. Then, I'm going to fight for a transcendent status that belongs to me! Instead of being a cow and a horse for you, and at the same time being one of the ladies of this Rausch!
There was still silence in the hall. At this time, Xi Wei stood up and laughed loudly: "Your Majesty, the minister has something to do!" ”
King Xia suppressed his calm and said, "What's the matter? [End of chapter]
