Chapter 183: The canonization ceremony, father and brother are here
When Xia Mi opened his eyes again, he only felt that he had had a long dream, the dream was clear and abnormal, and the strange thing was that he couldn't remember the feelings in the dream clearly. She had a vague feeling that she had forgotten something, but for a moment she couldn't remember what it was.
Left and right should not be a big thing, the most important thing now is revenge.
Like the pain engraved in the soul, as soon as the word revenge came to mind, a cold sweat broke out on Xia Mi's forehead, and he immediately sobered up.
The solemn music fell into his ears in an instant, causing Xia Mi's eyes to widen slightly.
Ximu national music will only be played when it is canonized. Biting the tip of his tongue hard, Xia Mi restrained the expression on his face, staring at the slightly hideous shadow reflected on the smooth floor.
After a long while, the music stopped, and the eunuch's sharp and long singing harmony immediately rang out: "After the ceremony—rise—"
The white fingers curled up slightly on the cold ground, Xia Mi raised his head a little, and finally saw the two black figures in front clearly. His pupils shrank suddenly, and Xia Mi endured the churning killing intent in his heart, and slowly revealed a smile.
Chu Li, who was dressed in the prince's robe, looked warm and handsome, and the gentle gaze that he saw from afar made the surrounding ministers envious, but he was helpless. The crown prince was single-handedly supported by the Xia family, and this friendship alone is incomparable.
As the object of envy, Xia Mi's heart was full of killing intent.
When he saw the scene in front of him, Xia Mi had already realized what time it was now-the crown prince's canonization hall. At this time, Chu Li still maintained his appearance of warmth; At this time, her father and brother were still alive, and Fu Han had not been shot through the chest with an arrow in order to protect her and died.
It's too late, it's still too late.
Turning over and over in his heart, he silently recited these words, and the killing intent in Xia Mi's heart was exhausted, and he slowly lowered his eyes. Fingers tapped lightly on the pitch-black table, and she pondered slowly.
At the end of the apocalypse, King Chu Jiang sent her back directly according to his promise in the morning. I didn't expect to pick such a time node. At this time, her father and brother had not yet died, and although Chu Li had been canonized as the crown prince, the power in his hands was still not worth the other princes. All in all, it's not too bad, but it's definitely not good.
After sorting out the situation in front of him and making up his mind in his heart, Xia Mi had time to pay attention to other things.
This time she attended the canonization hall, she did not attend as a female dependent, but sat at the top of the military attache seat as a general. Xia Rin and Xia Mi guarded the border pass, and before they returned, she became the closest place to the main seat.
What's even more ingenious is that under the "intimate" arrangement of the palace people, her seat is almost opposite Chu Li's crown prince. Obviously, according to the system, the courtier's seat should avoid the prince...... I don't know if this is intentional, or if the prince has not been established for a long time, and the palace people have forgotten the rules.
With a deep look in his eyes, Xia Mi saw the wine glass that Chu Li had raised from afar, and slowly raised his hand. Taking a casual sip, Xia Mi lowered his eyes.
When she saw the wine, she remembered something more.
In her previous life, because Chu Li was named the crown prince, her long-cherished wish was fulfilled, and she drank a few more cups when she was greedy, and Princess Jing'an suddenly made her dance with a sword when she was slightly drunk. Under the lack of clarity in her mind, Jing'an is Chu Li's sister-in-law, and she didn't think much about it.
The next day, the news that General Xia Mi poured out his infatuation with a sword dance spread. At the time, she thought it was a courtier's mouth, but now that she thinks about it, this lax mouth may grow on someone's body.
I sneered in my heart, just as the dancing girl retreated from the hall. Just like the memory, Princess Jing'an's gentle voice sounded like water.
"Jing An has heard the general's heroic posture on the battlefield for a long time, and today I am presumptuous, can I ask the general to dance a song?"
The noisy hall was silent in an instant, and many courtiers subconsciously looked at Xia Mi, with some surprise in their eyes. Holding the wine glass, Xia Mi took in everyone's expressions one by one, and identified a few suspects in an instant, and then put the wine cup on the table without slowness.
A slight "click" was particularly noticeable in the temple.
Raising her head, she maintained a hint of drunken casualness, restrained her emotions and looked at Princess Jing'an who was sitting with Concubine Liu. The mother concubine is in decline, and her brother has no power, speaking of which, the reason why Xia Mi noticed Chu Li was precisely because of this pale and weak Princess Jing'an.
Suppressing the memories in his heart for the time being, Xia Mi hooked the corners of his mouth slightly, and showed a smile as he learned from his memory, "Today is the canonization hall of His Royal Highness the Prince, how dare the minister compete for the light of the sun and the moon with the light of fireflies?" It's out of place. But Her Royal Highness the princess is the sister of Her Royal Highness, and she is famous, why not celebrate? ”
The short words were like a big net that was not leaky, not only blocking Princess Jing'an's words again, but also throwing the question back without being salty.
Xia Mi noticed that when this sentence fell, the faces of most of the courtiers immediately became clear, only the faces of Concubine Liu's mother and daughter changed.
Xia Mi admired their changing faces, and couldn't help but feel a little happy in her heart. In her previous life, she was blind and happy, so naturally she never said anything serious to these two people. On the contrary, after Chu Li ascended the throne, Concubine Liu, who was originally gentle and loving to her, immediately changed her attitude and opposed her everywhere. And Chu Li, as the emperor, naturally didn't care so much, and directly ignored her distress.
Thinking of this, Xia Mi couldn't help but raise his eyes and look at Chu Li opposite. Sure enough, the young man still looked calm, as if he hadn't heard Xia Mi's euphemistic refusal, let alone noticed the resentment of his mother and young sister.
Lowering his eyes, Xia Mi stared boredly at the melons and fruits in the cold dishes and counted them.
Just when she was halfway through the count, the old emperor, who had never spoken a voice, slowly spoke: "I may not have heard the sound of Xiao Jiu's piano for a long time, so it is better to take this opportunity to play a song." ”
It seems that the words of inquiry, but no one will not think that it will offend the majesty of the emperor. Jing'an was silent for a moment, and could only respond softly.
After the sound of the flowing piano sounded, a trace of doubt flashed in Xia Mi's lowered eyebrows.
The princess of a country will not easily perform in front of everyone, maybe it is an opportunity for the daughters of ordinary officials to show themselves, but for the princesses of a country, their identity is here, and playing in front of a group of people who are not as noble as her is almost a clear torment. So, what exactly was the old emperor thinking?
She just said casually, the emperor obviously had many ways to refuse, but in the end he went along with her wishes, as if he had specially helped her. Thinking of the old emperor's jealousy of the Xia family in the previous life, Xia Mi took a deep breath and reluctantly pressed the questions into his heart.
