Chapter 144: Ambiguity
Sun Guifei's mother and son glanced at each other through the bustling crowd, and they all showed a sinister smile like a signboard, originally thinking of making some efforts to make a little name at this feast to destroy the atmosphere, but they didn't think that in the current situation, they didn't need to help, and then waited for a while and a half, and when the emperor's patience was almost exhausted, he would give a carefully prepared gift to ensure that he took the limelight from the queen's mother and son.
"You see, the emperor's face seems to have changed a little, could it be that he is not satisfied with this banquet performance?"
Yun Jinglan has not been in this place for a long time, and she has never seen a royal event like this, she was very excited at the beginning, and she was smiling all the time, and she felt that it was very novel, but everyone else except her did not seem to be as energetic as her, and after a round of stimulation, she was all excited, and glanced at the emperor, only to find that his face was particularly dissatisfied.
I can't help but be a little worried, just now Queen Li told her that all kinds of programs of the grand event were hosted and operated by the queen, and it took more than three months to unify the sixteen programs, which can be described as laborious and laborious, but the results were not satisfactory.
Chu Muhan took a sip of old wine and drank it, raised his eyes and looked over to catch a glimpse of Chu Zijin's meaningful smile, and couldn't help but sneer, Yun Jinglan was a little aware this time, she finally knew a little bit about these things that clear-eyed people knew at a glance.
"That's true, there is progress, and there will be rewards for looking back, but even if the queen loses this time, the mother and son of the king of Xiang will not get any benefit!"
Chu Muhan chuckled, leaned his ears close to Yun Jinglan, the smell of wine was strong in his breath, and the slightly drunk drunkenness was hazy, his eyes gradually became blurred, and his gaze at Yun Jinglan also seemed to be a peach blossom, although his mind was slightly confused, but he was still sober, and the words he said were as playful and cold as usual, full of deep meaning.
Yun Jinglan was very uncomfortable stimulated by his taste, frowned and raised his eyes to glared at him, tilted his head to the side angrily, didn't think that this time he used too much force, and he turned to the side without paying attention, and his center of gravity was unstable and he was about to fall to the ground.
In an instant, her face had changed the color of mustard, and when she was ready to endure the suffering, she suddenly found that her waist was tight, and a strong arm lifted her violently, and just like that, she was fished up again, and it happened to hit Chu Muhan's chest again, Yun was embarrassed and annoyed, and his face suddenly turned red.
"Be careful, if you plant it like this, how can you make this king's love embarrassing?"
Chu Muhan ignored her futile efforts to break free, squinted and smiled, her eyebrows revealed a little familiar doting, her faint hair fragrance lingered on the tip of her nose, which inexplicably made his heart feel ape, although there was a slight disgust and blame between the words, but the whole face was warm.
Unable to break free and simply compromise, Yun Jinglan protested with her eyes with indignation, and a sharp gaze shot straight into Chu Muhan's eyes, but the other party's garrison was too strong, no matter how she changed her strategy, she couldn't succeed by half a point.
Her appearance is really charming, Chu Muhan's originally gloomy and cold pupils gradually became obscure, if this is the Hades Palace, where there is no one around, then at this time, Yun Jinglan will be "not guaranteed".
The courtiers sitting cross-legged and kneeling around them did not seem to see this ambiguous scene in front of them, they kept as calm as possible, tried to douse the panic in their hearts with glasses of bitter liquor, and then made a blind appearance to indicate that it was none of their business, and the atmosphere became tense for a while, until the emperor's words broke the deadlock.
"The queen has worked hard, I respect the queen with a cup!"
His voice was calm and powerful, but there was no respect at all, as if it were just lazy homely words, and even so, the courtiers below all raised their wine glasses like frightened birds, and echoed the emperor:
"The minister also respects the queen's mother!"
Yun Jinglan didn't have any more ability if she was not strong, but everyone was in a trance when they all raised their glasses, so she had to pretend to raise the teacup prepared in advance, and followed Chu Muhan to make a full set of plays.
A glass of wine down, the atmosphere of the whole hall seems to have dropped to freezing point again, the hall is playing the same repertoire, but it is a number of musicians playing together, the piano and the sound is very dignified atmosphere, the whole hall echoes with magnificent music, everyone's faces are fascinated, as if they have sunk into this music and can't extricate themselves, although Yun Jinglan does not understand the rhythm, but also can hear the sound of the piano pleasantly, can't help but be overjoyed, thinking that the emperor's face is finally going to switch.
However, the will of heaven does not obey people's wishes, even if the aftermath lingers on everyone's faces, but it can't win the emperor's smile, he has always been proficient in music, which of the court musicians is not the most talented, these people's skills in his opinion are not enough, at most they are decent, it is really not amazing.
Everyone has different expressions, but they have all noticed that the emperor's mood is a little bad, his health has deteriorated in recent years, and all the affairs of the court and politics are also maintained by the crown prince and the princes.
If in the past, these repertoire must have been excellent works in his opinion, but now that the situation has changed greatly, and his temper is more violent than before, he will naturally feel that today's performance repertoire is too ordinary, and it is inevitable that he will blame the queen for not being attentive enough, and the glass of wine just now should be a wake-up call.
Since ancient times, the mind of the Son of Heaven has been the most unpredictable, and this time, the queen is about to be planted.
"Father, my son respects you with a cup, and I wish you happiness such as longevity in the East China Sea!"
In the crowd, only the king of Xiang dared to hit the muzzle of the gun in a daze, and the words were sincere, even if the emperor was displeased, he would not embarrass him, so he took his words and rewarded a few things, the king of Xiang was very happy, and took the opportunity to say something again:
"The queen's palace is busy, although the repertoire just staged is exquisite, but it is inevitable to lose some ingenious tricks, on the whole, it is not perfect, it may be that those people are not dedicated enough, the sons are not talented, I would like to give a different gift to my father, and ensure that my father is satisfied!"
As soon as the words changed, Chu Zijin pointed the finger at the queen, and said it in a high-sounding manner, but in fact, he implied that the queen was not attentive enough, didn't this just say that the emperor was in his heart? I have to say that Sun Guifei is really a god assist, and looking at her smug and sinister expression, I know that these words are what she taught Chu Zijin to say.
However, this is also a little too confident, and he dared to pat his chest as a guarantee, everyone was surprised, and looked at Chu Zijin's eyes as if he was looking at a fool.
