Chapter 36 Signing and Drawing
There were a lot of people at the palace banquet at night, and Lin Xueqi also obeyed Mo Xichen's words and changed into a red dress, the bewitching beauty in red was picturesque, and the red dress made Lin Xueqi's exposed complexion fair.
Her eyes are Danfeng eyes, which already have a bewitching atmosphere, and now she is dressed in red like fire, and her eyes are clear for a while, like a clear spring, which makes people can't help but be attracted to her.
Mo Xichen just left the room, and when he saw her dress, he couldn't help frowning, went back to the room and took a pair of light yarns, and handed it to her, "Put it on." Now she is very charming, and there are many men who come today, he is worried that many people will be attracted to her, after all, she is his princess.
Lin Xueqi looked at the veil he handed over, didn't take it directly, turned his head to look at the outfit on his body, and asked, "Isn't it good-looking?"
She is also a woman, and she also pays attention to her outfits, is the red dress really not suitable for her? But there is only this one in the wardrobe, the others are plain clothes, and today's blue clothes have also been changed, that is, she has no clothes to wear.
"Good looking. But put it on. Mo Xichen had a commanding tone, and Lin Xueqi had no choice but to take it, she understood Mo Xichen's mood, but she didn't know what it meant, and she had to bring a veil to a palace banquet.
In the face of Lin Xueqi's low IQ, Mo Xichen was also quite helpless, when did this girl understand his hard work.
There are a lot of men who come outside to participate in the palace banquet, even if Lin Xueqi has his protection, he can't keep an eye on her all the time, even if Lin Xueqi has superb medical skills, it would be very troublesome if others would do it.
"Gone." Lin Xueqi glanced at Mo Xichen, took a step, and walked in front of him.
Walking to the place of the palace banquet, a eunuch saw Lin Xueqi and Mo Xichen, and said in a high voice: "The Nine Princes and the Nine Princesses have arrived-"
At this time, Lin Xueqi finally understood why the voice of the ancient eunuch was so thin, like a woman, it was estimated that it was because of such a loud shout.
Lin Xueqi's clear eyes swept the audience, and saw Gu Mingyuan and her prince brother Gu Youqi sitting not far away, and then sat down next to Princess Liuyi, and Mo Xichen also sat beside Lin Xueqi.
"It's been a long time, Xueqi." Princess Liuyi said hello politely, and ate the pastry with her head down, looking depressed.
Lin Xueqi didn't ask much, after all, it was someone else's business, why did she ask so many things as an outsider? The bell must be tied to the bell, so her affairs still need to be solved by herself.
At this time, an official walked towards Mo Xichen with a wine glass, and his eyes looked at Lin Xueqi from time to time, "Nine princes, why should your princess bring a veil to a palace banquet?" What a bad atmosphere, don't you say? ”
As he spoke, he raised his hand and was about to take off the light veil on Lin Xueqi's face, Lin Xueqi stayed in place, looking at him with a smile, and suddenly held his wrist with one hand, making him unable to move, "This king asked her to wear it, do you have any objections?" ”
The official smiled wryly and retracted his hand, "How dare you." He returned to his seat in a hurry, and everyone else secretly laughed at him, saying that he actually wanted to get involved with the nine princesses of the Nine Princes.
Lin Xueqi held her chin with her hand and swept the food in front of her, not looking like she wanted to eat at all.
"Why don't you eat it?" These days, Mo Xichen has seen Lin Xueqi eat very little, and he goes out from time to time, sometimes staying in the house, he knows that she is trying to find the murderer, but this is unbearable.
Lin Xueqi glanced at him and pointed to the veil on his face, "I know you won't let me take it off, but how can I eat it if I don't take it off?" ”
This sentence blocked Mo Xichen dumbfounded, in order to let Lin Xueqi eat more, he had to say: "Take it off when you eat it, and put it on when you don't eat it."
Lin Xueqi nodded in agreement, she slowly took off her veil, took a piece of pastry with her slender fingers, and put it in her mouth.
At the moment when Lin Xueqi took off her veil, many people noticed her appearance, and the eyes of some envoys from neighboring countries widened. Gu Mingyuan's eyes were also stunning.
The emperor who was sitting in a high position looked at the face that was seven points similar to his imperial sister, and he couldn't help but lose his mind a little, and couldn't help but recall the past. Once his royal sister would take him out to sneak out to play in the mountains and rivers, once his royal sister would tell him bedtime stories while he was sleeping, and once his royal sister would use her tender little hands to soothe the wounds in his heart. It's just that they don't exist anymore.
"I heard that the eldest princess can be good at dancing, proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and her daughter has recently become a dancer and a qinqi, I wonder if I can ask Princess Huanyue to dance a song and play a song?" An envoy from a neighboring country pleaded with the emperor, after all, he thought, as soon as the emperor exited, then she would have to obey.
"You better ask Xue Qi herself, I can't control her thoughts." The emperor looked lenient and righteous, but this appearance made Lin Xueqi's stomach churn.
In normal times, she would definitely think that the emperor was a good monarch and a person who considered the people, but when she found out that the emperor had nothing to do with the death of her parents, she could no longer treat him with the same expression and attitude as before.
Lin Xueqi held the teacup, looked at the official, and finally nodded, "Yes." But you also know that this princess is a dancer and a qinqi, and the cost of dancing a piece of music is very high, but for the sake of me and Gu Mingyuan being friends, this princess only needs you to agree to one condition. ”
She didn't continue, put down the pastry in her hand, stood up, and walked to the center of the venue, and the official also stepped aside and gave the venue to Lin Xueqi.
This time, Mo Xichen did not take the flute accompaniment, and Lin Xueqi did not rely on him, she could jump without accompaniment. She hummed softly, her steps danced briskly, and at last her voice was louder, and she could hear it clearly in this silent palace feast.
"Ten miles of peach blossoms, the years to be married."
"The pearl of the phoenix crown, pull into the hair."
"The sandalwood is blowing, and the jade bracelet is light."
Her voice is soft, her eyes are tender like water, her arms are outstretched, like a red butterfly in a wildflower, she is like that butterfly, carefree.
Mo Xichen was a little stunned, Lin Xueqi can attract people's attention every time she performs, every time her state is different, she is quiet and peaceful when she is asleep, she is immersed in it when she dances, she is high when she is awake, and sometimes she is eccentric.
The prince, who was only one seat away from Mo Xichen, looked at Lin Xueqi's dancing, and the smile on the corner of his mouth became stronger, and Lin Qingwan's nails beside him were embedded in the flesh, but he didn't seem to know the pain.
Gu Youqi looked distracted, and Gu Mingyuan was also stunned, it turned out that this was the woman her brother loved, but she was already a married woman.
Lin Xueqi stopped, returned to her seat and drank a sip of water, moistening her throat, her throat was a little smoky when she sang the song just now.
After a while, thunderous applause rang out, and the person concerned still ate the pastry in front of him calmly.
"Sure enough, the daughter of the eldest princess is really extraordinary, if there is really a mother, there must be a daughter." The official praised appreciatively.
Lin Xueqi bowed slightly, "Thank you for the compliment." Then out of nowhere, he took out a blank piece of paper full of words, and then picked up a plate from the table that had just finished eating pastries, "What about this princess, I have always said and done, but beware of your backtracks, I wonder if I can ask you to sign and draw?" As she spoke, she bit her index finger and dripped blood on her plate, smiling.
Her approach made those people not refuse, she had everything in place, and if she refused, it would mean that they were a country that did not keep their word.
Gu Youqi took the lead in getting up, came to Lin Xueqi's side, and looked at her fixedly, Lin Xueqi returned a smile, the corners of her lips moved slightly, and her voice was as small as a mosquito and fly, "See you again, 'Gu Mingyuan'." ”
Hearing this greeting, he was slightly stunned, and then stained with Lin Xueqi's blood, put a fingerprint on the paper, and did not reply to her.
Gu Mingyuan also imitated her brother's appearance, came to Lin Xueqi, looked at Lin Xueqi closely, and suddenly she was ashamed and indignant, she often said that she said that she was the most beautiful woman in the world, and when she saw her today, she instantly felt that she was lonely and unheard.
She pressed the drawing, took one last look at her delicate countenance, and returned to her seat, no wonder her brother was so fond of her, and has been obsessed with her ever since.
Lin Xueqi put away the blank paper and looked at the humanity of the neighboring countries opposite: "Since the princess and the prince of your country have drawn a pledge, then this contract has been officially established, because the princess's requirements have not been thought out yet, so I can't tell you, please forgive me first."
"It's fine." Those people replied in unison, replacing Gu Youqi and Gu Mingyuan.
The emperor looked at Lin Xueqi sitting at the bottom, his eyes narrowed slightly, since he saw Lin Xueqi, he felt that she was different from her before, specifically where it was, he didn't know, it can be said that she was like a different person.
Mo Xichen's face was a little gloomy, he took Lin Xueqi's hand, took out the gold sore medicine from his sleeve, and applied it to her hand.
"Next time, if you want something to talk about, don't use local materials like this." Obviously, Mo Xichen was very dissatisfied with Lin Xueqi's approach.
Lin Xueqi was stunned, "It's just a small wound, it will be fine soon." But thank you very much. Lin Xueqi thanked with a smile.
Mo Xichen turned his face, and there was a suspicious flush on his cheeks, which aroused the envy and jealousy of the surrounding daughters and nobles.
Lin Xueqi said that since she came to this era, she has often been jealous of those young lady county lords, who in modern times is not respectful when she sees her? Is there such a situation as it is now?
"Your Majesty, this prince and the imperial sister want to live in these days, and my father also agrees, I wonder if Your Majesty can allow it?" He smiled and waved his hand, and the palace door opened, and some people carrying utensils walked in.
Seeing this posture, the emperor couldn't refuse, "Since the neighboring countries have already agreed, then I can't shirk it, so I'm okay." ”
Lin Xueqi heard his question and answer, and whispered in Mo Xichen's ear, "Mo Chao is the strongest in the country, why don't you refuse?" ”
Obviously, the national strength is strong, but this emperor is too indecisive, sometimes he doesn't look like an emperor, and it is clear that Gu Youqi's national strength is weaker than them, but he still agrees.
"You're afraid of disrupting your plans, aren't you?" The moist gas exhaled by Mo Xichen made Lin Xueqi's delicate body tremble, and seeing that her mind was recognized, she looked away in embarrassment.
"Let's have a feast, the palace will give you Wisteria Pavilion." After the emperor finished speaking, he went to the residence of the empress mother.
Because the queen mother was still unwell, so she did not participate in the palace banquet, and the emperor saw that it was time to leave, so he hurried over to visit, which showed his concern for the queen mother.
