Chapter 65: The Birthday Banquet
Xi Ze was taken aback and asked in disbelief, "What?!" What did you say? ”
Fu Jingchuan immediately replied: "Your Majesty, the woman standing on the left is Xia Xiang's sister Xia Yueshu, and the woman standing on the right is Xia Xiang's cousin Xia Siying, this is Xia Xiang's birthday gift to the emperor, the old minister does not dare to covet it, and please ask the emperor to smile!" ”
After listening to Fu Jingchuan's words, Xi Ze's smile suddenly froze, other courtiers offered him beautiful women, and he accepted it, which was the need to balance the government and government, but Xia Wanfeng has always been highly valued by him, and he is a person who understands his heart, where does he need to marry to consolidate this relationship between the monarch and the minister? Xi Ze couldn't help but be slightly disappointed, he looked at Xia Wanfeng and asked, "Wanfeng...... Is this your birthday gift to me? What makes your birthday gift so special? ”
Xia Wanfeng, who was extremely embarrassed on the side, heard Xi Ze call him, hurriedly left the table and walked under the Danqi, took out a square box and said: "Your Majesty, the birthday gift given to you by the minister is here, it is a night pearl of the East China Sea, I hope the emperor likes it!" ”
When Xi Ze heard this, he secretly put his mind at ease, but before he could speak, Fu Jingchuan suddenly interjected with a smile and said, "Xia Xiang, didn't you tell the old man at the intersection just now that you had two birthday gifts for the emperor?" One is the night pearl in your hand, and the other is your two sisters, this dance is dedicated, why don't you tell the emperor? ”
Xia Wanfeng's face was full of embarrassment, the news was obviously secretive, and he had just tried it, Fu Jingchuan, the old fox, deliberately pretended not to know, and now he deliberately embarrassed himself, and he secretly hated it in his heart, but he couldn't find a rebuttal for a while, so he had to stand with his head down. XsHuoTXt.? `??.?? `
On the seat, Xi Ze frowned slightly and asked, "Wan Feng, the two women standing under this dan are really your sisters?" ”
Xia Wanfeng had no choice but to answer truthfully: "It's the minister's sister!" ”
Xi Ze said with a little reproach: "Your birthday gift is really 'ingenious'!" ”
There was a low laugh below.
Xia Wanfeng was more embarrassed.
At this moment, the Queen Mother's slightly cold voice came: "Your Majesty, this is your most important courtier?" I heard that the emperor had just promoted him to be the prime minister of Zuo, why was his mind not on political affairs, but anxious to offer his sister to the emperor, did he hope that the emperor would indulge in beauty and abandon the government? ”
When the Queen Mother said this, she was obviously very dissatisfied with this matter.
Xi Ze froze was stunned when he heard this. It also became embarrassing in an instant.
Wang Ningxuan, who was sitting on the side, hurriedly explained: "The queen mother misunderstood! Prime Minister Xia Cheng has always been thoughtful and fast, so the emperor has always relied on him, and he only hopes that his sister can give the emperor a branch and leaves, so that the queen mother can enjoy more family fun. The concubines are ashamed and have not been able to give birth to a boy and a half girl to the emperor, so they have to count on your sisters! ”
The Queen Mother's face turned a little pale, and she asked, "Your Majesty, is this so?" ”
Xi Ze hurriedly played the round: "Yes.??.?? 'Yes, that's what the queen said, Wan Feng doesn't mean anything else! Please rest assured! ”
The Queen Mother didn't say anything more when she heard Xi Ze say this.
Xi Ze looked at Xia Wanfeng, saw that he was still embarrassed below, and then looked at the two women standing beside him, sighed silently, and said, "Okay, you have the heart to contribute to the prosperity of the heir of the Great Jin Emperor, and I am also happy, since these two are your sisters." The score of the one should not be too low, so they were all named concubines, the one on the left was given the name 'Yi', and the one on the right was given the name 'An'! From now on, they will be my concubines and concubines! ”
When Xia Yueshu and Xia Siying heard this, they were both overjoyed, and hurriedly knocked: "Thank you, Your Majesty!" Long live my emperor, long live, long live! ”
Xia Wanfeng had no choice but to say: "Thank you, Emperor!" Long live my emperor, long live, long live! ”
When the three of them retreated, the birthday banquet was still going on in an orderly manner.
Subsequently, many concubines came to toast to Xi Ze.
Yun Tian didn't want to fall behind, picked up the wine glass and came to Xi Ze's case, and said lightly: "The concubine respects the emperor with a glass." May my emperor dragon be healthy, live a long life, prosper for thousands of years, and have generations to come! ”
Xi Ze burst into a big smile. took the wine from Yun Tilt's hand and drank it all.
The clouds poured back and smiled, and in the bright light shadows, Xi Ze's smile seemed to become vain, like a thin veil, ethereal and ethereal. Yun tilted his gaze, his smile was a little stiff, and he tried his best to keep his demeanor and walked back to his seat.
As soon as he sat down, he saw Ye Jing'an walking towards Xize with a wine glass.
Yun tilted her eyes and looked at it, this Ye Jing'an's figure seemed to have changed slightly, and her lower abdomen was slightly protruding, but her steps still contained countless charms, as if they were more charming.
Ye Jing'an held the wine glass and said sweetly: "The concubines also salute the emperor with a glass, may my emperor have today every year, long live!" ”
Yun Qian envied Ye Jing'an, and his eyes never left her. Just when she walked in front of her, Yun Tian was in a slightly vague sight, and suddenly saw a snowy dagger hidden in Ye Jing'an's right sleeve, she held a wine glass in her left hand, and secretly held the dagger in her right hand, Yun Tian couldn't help but be shocked.
Yes, Yun Qian had hallucinations again, Ye Jing'an was really just a simple toast, but Yun Tian's hallucinations had already controlled her reason like crazy, and Yun Tian, who mistakenly thought that Ye Jing'an was going to assassinate, felt that it was too late to call someone to take her down because Ye Jing'an was only three steps away from Xi Ze, and between the lightning and flint, Yun Tian suddenly got up and left the table, ran to Ye Jing'an, and shouted: "Your Majesty, be careful!" Then, he pushed Ye Jing'an to the ground, pulled out the hairpin on his head, pressed it against Ye Jing'an's jaw, and said hatefully: "If you still want to assassinate the emperor, this palace will immediately send you to the west sky!" ”
Faced with this sudden scene, everyone was stunned, and there was a whisper below.
Xi Ze, who was shocked and came back to his senses, asked in disbelief, "Yun Tian, what's wrong with you?" ”
Yun leaned and looked at Xi Ze and said loudly: "She has a dagger hidden in her sleeve, I see it!" As she spoke, she shook Ye Jing'an's sleeve, but at this time, she couldn't find the "clear" dagger she had just seen.
At this moment, Ye Jing'an, who was pressed to the ground by Yun Tian, exclaimed: "The emperor helps, the concubine has a stomachache, and the child ...... Kid ......"
Xi Ze was shocked and immediately ordered: "Someone, quickly carry Yi Guifei to the palace to rest, and pass on the imperial doctor!" ”
The scene was suddenly chaotic, and several attendants came to Yun Tian's side and lifted Ye Jing'an to the inner hall of Guangxian Palace!
Yun Tian sat on the ground in a daze, and muttered in infinite doubt: "What about the dagger? I just saw her hiding a dagger in her sleeve? How could I not find it? ”
However, at this time, there was no time for Yun Tian to explore this qiē, and the Empress Dowager's incomparably majestic and cold voice came unceremoniously: "The imperial concubine's words and deeds have been wrong, causing the imperial heir to be unstable, come here, arrest her, and wait for interrogation!"
