Chapter 484: Hints
Ni Binghu couldn't help but laugh when he heard the word "play": "Feelings are in the eyes of Tanyan, children are used to play?" As soon as Ni Binghu's words came out, Yang Guifei also laughed.
Ling Xi took the child from Ni Binghu's hand and teased him: "It's so cute, hahaha." Lingxi took the toy in the child's hand and cried "wow", Lingxi looked at the baby so interesting, couldn't help laughing, and then stuffed the toy back in his hand, and the child suddenly stopped crying.
"What a little goblin." Ling Xi quipped.
Lingxi put the child into the cradle, at this moment the baby is about to fall asleep, Lingxi looked at the child with heavy eyelids want to sleep and hold on to the eyelids, at first glance I feel a little funny.
Ni Binghu knew that the child was going to sleep, so he hurriedly shook the cradle and coaxed the child to sleep.
Ling Xi picked up the tea on the table and drank it all in one gulp, and the warm water flowed into his mouth, and the whole person warmed up.
"It's dinner tonight, but what do you think?" Ling Xi put down the teacup in his hand and said slowly.
"What can you think?" Ni Binghu stopped shaking the cradle and looked at Ling Xi very strangely.
On the contrary, Yang Guifei sighed softly, she always felt that something bad would happen.
Ling Xi's eyes rolled, and she opened the topic again.
After a while, Ling Xi stayed here for another morning, and talked a lot about homely things, and when Ling Xi was about to get up to say goodbye to the two, he suddenly turned around and said solemnly: "Do you two want to consider leaving the palace first?"
Yang Guifei lowered her eyes, she knew that the palace was not safe at this time, but she still said resolutely: "I know what you are worried about, but I will not leave." Also, Yang Guifei has lived here for so long and carries so many memories of her, can she say that she will leave?
She has lived for so long, and she is not afraid of death, Ni Binghu naturally knows Yang Guifei's nostalgia, looked at Ling Xi and sighed and said slowly: "Don't worry, the queen mother is free and measured." Ling Xi looked at Yang Guifei's sad face, sighed, and finally nodded helplessly.
When the night came, the dinner party was ready to begin, Ling Xi just dressed up for a while, entered the hall, everyone talked and laughed, and after a while, the whole hall was lively, and everyone who should come came.
The little emperor sat on the throne and announced the official start of the dinner!
Suddenly, the singing and dancing leveled out, and the slender girls in revealing bodies danced one after another with the sound of music, and the girls on the stage felt cold for them.
At the end of the song, the next thing to come on the stage was a group of rough old men, trying their fists and feet, and the people in the audience applauded, while Lingxi kept eating the fruits and snacks on the table.
The winter night is very cold, a gust of wind blowing, can't help but make people feel energetic, Ling Xi straightened the cloak, rubbed his hands, next to the Rue Xiang could see that his master felt cold, so he took out a small stove and put it under Ling Xi's hands to warm her.
This will make Ling feel a little better, and he looked at the rue beside him gratefully.
After watching the fist and foot kung fu and literary competition, Ling Xi watched it with relish, and the movements in his hands did not stop, if it weren't for the rue and sandalwood next to him, I was afraid that I would be ugly.
The guests came one after another, and the feast in the palace was always very lively, and every time the dancers invited would have a different display, and there was naturally no shortage of good wine and food.
Lan Zhichu beckoned everyone to sit and enjoy the dance, waiting for the others who had not yet arrived, everyone chatted with each other, the ministers discussed state affairs with Lan Zhichu, and the concubines got together to talk about the life of the harem.
"The King of Jinyang has arrived-" The little official outside the door reported loudly, and the originally lively scene suddenly quieted down when he heard the sound, and everyone waited for the people from Baili Moqian's Mansion to enter the palace.
"Everyone, it's rude, I'm late, and please don't blame my uncle." Baili Mo humbly clasped his fists and saluted, Xie Ruanchun followed, and also kneezed to meet Lan Zhichu with a good understanding.
Although Lan Zhichu was kind, he nodded again and again, signaling King Jinyang to sit at the table, and King Jinyang was also polite, like a well-behaved nephew who respected his elders and knew how to be polite.
But both of them knew that this night would not be a Christmas Eve, let alone a formal banquet of the joy of the ministers, and both of them had a stone hanging in their hearts, each playing the other's calculations.
Xie Ruanchun followed Baili Moqian into the seat, and only then did she notice Ling Xi, who had been sitting beside Lan Zhichu in a dignified manner, although she was already married to the King of Jinyang, she was just a small side concubine, and she naturally wanted to get Lan Zhichu, the regent with more power.
If it weren't for Ling Xi, maybe she still had hope of seeking a high position, she had been full of jealousy of Ling Xi from beginning to end, so when she saw that Ling Xi could sit next to Lan Zhichu so justifiably, she gritted her teeth with hatred.
She couldn't help but think to herself: Why? Why on earth could she get so much? What is she better than me? In terms of life and status, where is she better than me?
Xie Ruanchun is always arrogant, she is very self-righteous about everything about herself, she feels that there is no one in this world who is better than her, more worthy of the powerful, and feels that no one should be more noble than her, and no one is more moving than her.
But Ling Xi was an accident, she knew it very well but didn't want to admit it, she was still very unconvinced, she looked down on Ling Xi's identity and family affairs, let alone accepted her to stay by Lan Zhichu's side.
Everyone sat down, the dinner officially began, the palace ladies presented delicious dishes to all the people present, and everyone also picked up the wine vessels and poured wine for themselves and the leader, a happy scene.
Xie Ruanchun has been trying to find ways to target Ling Xi throughout the whole process, even if she sits next to Lan Zhichu, she can't let her sit comfortably, she thinks about it, and still decides to mock her in front of everyone, so that she doesn't have to go down the stairs, so that she has a little self-knowledge.
So she deliberately got up and stepped forward to talk to Ling Xi, and deliberately said it very loudly, she also knew the measure, she couldn't let the whole audience hear it, and she would definitely let these important people around Lan Zhichu hear it clearly.
The reason why she dared to act so recklessly was also because Master Xie, who was very important to Lan Zhichu, was also at the banquet scene, even if she was quite unreasonable and misbehaved, in front of her father, Lan Zhichu didn't dare to do anything to her.
She stepped forward with a smile on her face and a wine glass, making everyone think that she was here to toast and congratulate, and then slowly leaned down in front of Ling Xi, although she approached Ling Xi's ear, her voice did not weaken at all:
"Tanyan, don't forget your own identity, you are just a righteous daughter recognized by my father, and you don't have any weight in the Xie family, I advise you to do it yourself."
Xie Ruanchun's words really made many people around her hear, including Master Xie, she didn't forget to deliberately emphasize the identity of Lingxi.
But Ling Xi was not afraid at all, she had been bullied since she was a child, especially Xie Ruanchun's targeting everywhere, for her, she had already taken precautions.
In addition, she heard about Liu Rumei not long ago, and she has been trying to find a way to suppress Xie Ruanchun these days, and she has been thinking about the sisterhood for many years, and she has repeatedly tolerated her.
But again and again, what happened again and again made her unbearable, she checked the evidence of Xie Ruanchun's abuse of the maid, and at the same time bribed many people, and the most important thing is that she just promised to live with Lan Zhichu for the rest of her life, how could she be uncomfortable sitting next to her beloved?
"What does my identity have to do with you? It has never been stipulated that the prince can only marry a barbarous woman like you, right? What's more, I'm not a member of your Xie family, so why bother talking about this? ”
Ling Xi listened to Xie Ruanchun's words with an indifferent face, as if she was ready to meet her difficulties, and easily resolved Xie Ruanchun's words one by one.
Xie Ruanchun thought that with her understanding of Lingxi, she wanted to save face so much, these words were enough to make her unable to raise her head, and she didn't make follow-up preparations at all, and she didn't expect that Lingxi didn't care about it.
"You! If it weren't for my father's pity for you back then......" Xie Ruan Chun saw that he was defeated, panicked for a while, and couldn't control himself angrily, and said again that he wanted to fight back, but this time it made a big move, and the people in the entire hall quieted down, wondering what happened here.
The King of Jinyang simply found out in time that he stopped Xie Ruan Chun before his words were completely spoken, first, he also wanted to find an opportunity to "declare war" with Lan Zhichu, Xie Ruan Chun undoubtedly created an opportunity for him, and second, before the rebellion, he had to be respectful enough, and now it was his responsibility to come forward to stop his inner chamber misdeeds, and it would also be praised by others.
"That's enough, stop messing around." King Jinyang grabbed Xie Ruanchun, gave her a look and asked her to go back and sit down, Xie Ruanchun had no choice but to leave reluctantly, and then Baili Moqian turned to Lan Zhichu and said, "Uncle, nephew toasts you, I'm grown up now, I can't always let you suppress me, now I'm going to resist, don't be angry with me~"
Baili Moqian was joking on the surface, and his tone of voice was also very leisurely, after all, at this time, everyone focused on the conversation between the uncle and nephew, both of them are princes, for the people below, their words and deeds are very important, and they must be listened to.
Only knowing the spirit of poetry is careful, she has always felt that today's Baili Moqian is a little different from usual, and when she heard the word "resistance", her sensitive heart tightened.
She knew that this was not a simple joke, for King Jinyang, maybe she just felt that she was winning, and it was very interesting to hint that Lan Zhichu would take it for granted that whatever he did next, she already felt a deep sense of crisis.
