Chapter 14: All kinds of difficulties
"Punishment, criminal private governor Nangong Grand Governor has arrived~"
I don't know if the eunuch outside the hall fell asleep just now, and everyone had already walked to the center of the hall, and a few beats of sound sounded outside the door.
As if by magic, the shrill voice suddenly woke up everyone who had lost their minds at the banquet.
I saw the man bow slightly, one hand behind him, and the other in front of him.
"The emperor forgives the sin, the minister is late." The lazy voice does not smell a hint of confession.
And the banquet is already halfway through, is this still called belated? The point is that he doesn't bow down when he sees the emperor?! Xiao Huang was not only a little worried, but whether that person would anger Emperor Xia Yu this time, and let people pull him out directly and cut it.
Although she is ignorant of life, she just doesn't want that person to have any calamity, and she doesn't know where such a strange feeling comes from.
However, what is even more incredible is that "It's okay, Nangong Aiqing get up quickly and take a seat." β
Emperor Xia Yu not only did not reprimand, but looked kind.
Under the attention of everyone, the red cloth walked straight to the first position on the left side of the phoenix chair, far away from the seat of the eldest prince.
Xiao Huang admits that she is not a person who can't hold her breath, and she doesn't have a heart that loves gossip, but she has always been indifferent and disdainful of strangers.
But at this moment, she couldn't wait to know who this man in red was?
And she noticed that since the man came in, although the song and dance started again, there was an indescribable strange atmosphere in the entire Qiongxia Palace.
Most people are pretending to drink tea and tea, as if they are afraid to make a little noise.
Some people are soft-spoken, but others may not hear anything, and they can nod in time.
Even the movement of the dancers in the center of the hall flicking their sleeves seemed so stiff......
Xiao Huang turned her head sideways, and saw that even Huaying also had a confused expression of "what's going on", her heart moved, and she immediately leaned together to the seat next to her, "Mrs. Chai, who was that person just now?" β
"Shhhh He raised his hand and made a silent motion.
"If Madame doesn't tell me, then Xiao'er will go and ask others?" Xiao Huang gave full play to his "child" temperament, his eyebrows and eyes were crooked, and he looked so cute.
"Huh? β¦β¦ Come here, you girl. He shook his head helplessly, let Xiao Huang get closer, and then said in his ear: "This person's name is Nangong Qijue, he is the overseer of the criminal and private governor, he is vicious and cruel, if the girl sees her in the future, how far away she can hide, but don't provoke him." β
It was hard to imagine that such warning words would come from the mouth of the He family, who was kind and kind-eyed and had the demeanor of the Chai family's housewife, thinking of the reaction of the people in the Fang Cai Palace, for a while, Xiao Huang felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.
"I heard that the beloved daughter of General Xiaoyong is also here this time, I don't know who it is? Can you come out and let Hongu see? After a few rounds of singing and dancing, the chief suddenly sounded like this.
Seeing Xiao Huang get up, Lian Huaying's subconscious reaction was to hold her hand.
"It's okay, mother."
What should come will always come, pretending to be deaf and dumb can't be avoided, and it is expected to take her under the knife, ...... Xiao Huang didn't care at all.
She left the table and walked to the front of the stairs and knelt down, "The courtiers are Mo Xiaohuang, knock to see the emperor, and meet the queen." β
"Look up." The queen looked down at the woman in front of the hall, with a smile on her face, a dignified and elegant face.
Immediately, Xiao Huang raised his head, looked at each other with immature eyes, and stopped talking, showing the cramped anxiety and hidden admiration that a fourteen-year-old girl should have when she first saw her superior.
The queen took a closer look and couldn't help but show a satisfied look, "It's really an extremely watery woman, this kind of color, I'm afraid it's not much better than the first beauty in Kyoto, General Jimo and the third princess are really a blessing." β
Hearing this, Jimo Liyun arched his hands forward, lowered his head and said: "The queen mother is falsely praised, the little girl has just entered the palace, and she doesn't know the rules of the palace very well, I just want not to collide with the emperor and all the mothers." β
"The general is polite, this palace likes this kid very much......"
In this way, after half of the wine, in addition to the sound of the exchange of cups and cups in the Qiongxia Palace, only the queen did not know how much sincere praise was left.
As for the others? There is a drama going on, why not watch it.
On the top of the main hall, the two of them talked back and forth for as long as Xiao Huang knelt for a long time, and even Hua Ying felt pain in his eyes, but he was helpless.
In this era, a woman is married to her husband, and on such a "harmonious" occasion, no one specifically asks you to reply, so even the princess of a country can only watch from the side, not to mention that she is only a princess of the Yuan Dynasty.
"Queen Mother, is Miss Jimo still kneeling below?" A soft and weak voice suddenly came, as clear as a small fish playing in the water.
"Look at the memory of this palace, Concubine Qi doesn't say it, this palace has forgotten it." The queen looked like she had just remembered the person Her Royal Highness was kneeling on, and said familiarly: "Girl, you don't remind the palace, get up quickly." β
"Thank you, Queen." When Xiao Huang got up, she quietly moved her ankles, feeling the weight of her knees, she couldn't help but lower her head and hook the corners of her lips.
The most visible and capable means of making people suffer in the palace is to punish kneeling, so she tied a layer of knee pads to her knees early in the morning, and she was prepared for it, but she didn't expect it to be used now.
"This kid is really well-behaved, the more I look at this palace, the more I like it, it's better for a girl to come into the palace to accompany this palace."
As soon as the queen's words came out, eyes from all directions followed, Xiao Huang didn't know what kind of mentality others were looking at, but how could she not understand the queen's purpose? I'm afraid that Huanxi is fake, and I want to put her in the palace to contain my father and mother.
"The queen is too elevated to her courtiers, and her mother is extremely talented, and she is captivating the country and the city." Noticing that her father and mother were about to get up, she immediately replied to the queen's words.
Although the queen is more than forty years old, the maintenance is really good, and it is not too much to say that she is about thirty, but this talent is really exaggerated.
But what woman doesn't like to hear that? Especially a woman who stands at the peak of power, she thinks about her youth forever and her longevity.
"Look, this little mouth is so coincidental......"
"Furthermore, courtiers occasionally have the habit of nightmares, and they have always been inseparable from their father's side, the queen's kindness, and the courtiers' feelings are five." Seeing that she still had an unrelenting posture, Xiao Huang pondered in his heart, and couldn't help but make a ruthless move.
The queen's eyes were slightly cold, and she asked with a smile that did not change, "Oh? Is this true? β
"The courtiers didn't dare to deceive the queen's mother, and I heard from the mother's relatives that the courtiers had a problem after seeing the scene of people eating the corpses of the same kind when they first went to the border." Xiao Huang said naΓ―vely, innocent, but the content of her words sounded extremely creepy.
Suddenly, there was a sigh at the banquet, and even people who were about to swallow food spit it out directly, while some officials swallowed it with nausea after seeing Emperor Xia Yu's eyes, but their faces were extremely ugly.
The queen's face froze after hearing this, and she didn't know how to answer.
Hmph, you have to pay money to watch a play, Xiao Huang's face remains the same, and others still look like they are out of condition.
"Alright, what's it like!" Emperor Xia Yu reprimanded, and then looked at the innocent person in front of the hall, "You stand down." β
In a prosperous dynasty, there will be a phenomenon of people eating people, even if there is, it is also a stain that every emperor wants to hide, after all, no emperor wants to be the king of the stinking for thousands of years, and after a hundred years, he will have to be scolded and blamed by the world.
And such a smudge, one day, it was stabbed out by someone without scruples and grandiosely, presumably no one's face is good-looking, and the "initiator" is still a child who has not reached the end of the line, can you say that she did it intentionally?
She can't, not to mention that what she says is still "guided" by others.
"Emperor, every year the Chinese New Year's Eve banquet is those songs and dances, which are really boring, and the concubines suddenly thought of a fun way."
Hearing this, everyone's faces turned pale, and they all resisted the urge to rub the back of their hands, such a sweet and delicate tone...... It gives people goosebumps all over their bodies.
"Oh, what's a good idea?" For Mo Xin'er, who indirectly gave him the step down, Emperor Xia Yu was extremely favorable, and hurriedly beckoned him to come closer.
The latter is soft and boneless attached to the past, "There are so many talented women and beauties today, it is better to ...... Let's have a friend with art, if you win, you will be rewarded, and if you lose, how about punishment? β
"Concubine Mo, on this festive day, there is no need for punishment, right?" Qi Xuan glanced at his brows, and rarely spoke.
"Concubine Qi is ...... right"
"Your Majesty, the punishment is also a literary punishment." Without waiting for Emperor Xia Yu to agree to Concubine Qi's words, Mo Xin'er shook his arm and coquettishly.
"Oh, how do you punish that?"
"Doesn't the emperor have a crane and mandarin piano, I heard that it is the most difficult to play, but the music played with it is the most moving, I thought...... The one who was punished for losing played a song on the crane and mandarin piano. β
"Okay, okay, then follow your heart." Nephrite jade is in his arms, and the beautiful sound is attached to his ears, Emperor Xia Yu is so happy that his heart is crispy, "Which young lady can you start with?" β
Mo Xin'er raised her snow-white hand and pointed to the steps, "It's better to ......"
