Chapter 443: The Emperor and Empress are at odds
Daojun: "Does this eldest princess like you?" Hey, what do you call it, Lily? ”
Xia Qingyang gave the team of eunuchs some broken silver and thanked them for their hard work.
"You even know Lily." Xia Qingyang was responding to Daojun's words with her thoughts, and suddenly, she paused-
When it was given to one of the little eunuchs, the other party suddenly shook her hand sideways, and Xia Qingyang felt that there was a folded paper in his sleeve.
Without a trace, she pulled the paper out and rolled it into her sleeve.
After sending away this team of eunuchs, Xia Qingyang took out the paper and unfolded it, only to see a few words written on it:
The mission hides the snake, and tomorrow, leads the snake out of the hole.
"What do you mean?" Daojun asked curiously.
"There are assassins in the mission, wait for tomorrow's assassin operation, and then arrest them on the spot."
After reading it, Xia Qingyang put the paper into his personal space and sold the stolen goods.
To be reasonable, she admires Ren Yi's courage.
In order to completely eliminate all the assassins, he would rather wait until the moment the assassins make a move to close the net, and Ren Yi is really not afraid that Ren Fu's life will be in danger.
But it's also. Now that he has firmly established the idea of seizing the throne, Ren Fu will be kicked out sooner or later.
It's just that Xia Qingyang and the others haven't decided the key yet
PC's identity, so I can't let Ren Fu die.
-
The next day, the palace banquet was held as scheduled.
Jiang Ye came early today. As soon as he sat down, he immediately searched for Ren Yi's location with his eyes.
"Why did this guy run away to pester Sister Yi. He shouldn't be thinking about Sister Yi. Concubine An looked at Jiang Ye unhappily.
Xia Qingyang felt that it was difficult to say at the moment.
Who knows if the assassin was arranged by Jiang Ye. Maybe Jiang Ye went over to contain Ren Yi, who had the highest force value on the scene.
Of course, this is less likely.
After all, according to Xia Qingyang's investigation, the current emperor of the Tuochuan Kingdom is not a war-loving person. Now that you have been able to peacefully subdue the Great Chun Kingdom, there is no need to play these yin things anymore.
Not long after, Ren Fu also arrived with Queen Yin.
For such a banquet, Queen Yin, as the mother of the country, should sit on the same throne with Ren Fu and entertain guests.
Therefore, today, Queen Yin specially got up early and put on exquisite makeup.
is different from the light makeup she preferred in the past, today she has red lips, straight eyebrows, and a cold and alienated temperament. When he walked up the stairs with his long skirt, he was a few steps behind Ren Fu intentionally or unintentionally.
When Ren Fu saw her like this, his face was a little complicated.
I don't know if it was out of guilt, or if he finally remembered the old love, he reached out to help her.
In Ren Fu's opinion, his wife, who has always been obedient to him, is sad and hateful because she belittles her father, and it is impossible to lose face in front of so many people.
However, what he didn't expect was that the current Empress Yin was no longer the woman who let him knead and pinch flat.
She didn't even look at him, but avoided his hand and walked up the steps herself.
Ren Fu froze, clenched his palms, and lowered his arms.
"Queen, who is this learning from?"
After sitting on the dragon chair, Ren Fu asked Queen Yin who was sitting next to him in a low voice.
"Your Majesty laughed."
Empress Yin didn't squint, as if it was a bad luck to get a little closer to Ren Fu.
Ren Fu's face was not very good-looking, but because of the presence of so many people, it was not good to have a seizure.
"Dog Emperor, it's okay to stay away from my sister Yin, sit so close." Seeing this scene, Concubine An Guifei, who was sitting on the concubine seat, couldn't help gritting her teeth.
Xia Qingyang tugged at her sleeve and motioned for her to complain quietly, don't be heard.
Concubine An: "I know. ”
Xia Qingyang: "Hmm...... Well? ”
Er, Xia Qingyang's afterglow, glimpsed half of his body in the shadows behind Ren Fu Long's chair - looking at the outfit, it seems to be Deputy Commander Xiao?
She didn't know what she remembered, and asked in her heart: "Daojun, you said that if the assassin shows up later, Deputy Commander Xiao, as the emperor's personal guard, will definitely do his best to protect the emperor's thoughtfulness?" ”
Daojun paused weirdly: "Why are you asking this?" ”
Xia Qingyang knew that he could probe the thoughts in his heart.
So she chuckled and deliberately said, "Nothing." Just ask. ”
“…… Woman, you lied to this seat? ”
"Didn't Daojun lie to me too?"
Daojun was speechless.
He knew that Xia Qingyang had already seen Gu Sinan's identity.
And nine times out of ten, she is half guessing, half trying out from the attitude of testing herself.
But she didn't break it. As a result, there is nowhere to defend oneself if you want to.
It's so angry.
Daojun is unhappy, so he also wants to make Gu Sinan unhappy.
He wouldn't tell Gu Sinan that Xia Qingyang had already guessed his identity.
Just let this sullen man continue to hold back. Hum.
-
The palace banquet opened in an embarrassing atmosphere of discord between the emperor and the queen.
This palace banquet not only included the mission, civil and military officials, but also the families of officials and the concubines of the harem. There are so many people, Xia Qingyang is the first time to see it.
The Xia family is Xia Jingzhi's wife and Xia Qingyang's brother and sister-in-law.
Xia Qingyang exchanged a glass of wine with them in the air, which was counted as a greeting, and he had already begun to think in his heart, in case of a fight after a while, how to protect the safety of the Xia family in the chaos.
As the court musicians played the babbling music, everyone gathered to salute each other and then sat down.
The banquet was held in the open space outside the Imperial Garden, and it was close to evening, so the lanterns were lit and the light was very beautiful.
This kind of palace banquet is generally an occasion for officials to praise each other. It's just that there is an embassy present today, so the rainbow farts are all slapped towards Jiang Ye.
Some officials took a fancy to Jiang Ye's status and enthusiastically asked Jiang Ye if he had a wife and concubine.
"Nope." Jiang Ye put down the wine glass and asked the palace maid on the side to pour wine for him: "However, it seems that it is also the age when it is time to marry a wife?" ”
"Yes, this man, it's time to settle down when he's old. General Jiang, you see, these people present are all among the best beauties and talented women in our Dachun country...... Especially the granddaughter of Xia Guan, she met General Jiang by chance at the Lantern Festival two days ago, and she has been talking about it since she went back. ”
This official wanted to promote his granddaughter in the boudoir, so he took the initiative to take the wine from the palace maid and filled it for Jiang Ye.
Ren Fu also intended to make Dachun Kingdom and Tuochuan Kingdom closer, so he watched with interest on the side, and had no intention of blocking it.
Jiang Ye didn't respond, his eyes swept around the families of the officials below, and sure enough, he saw a few women who didn't dare to look at him and bowed their heads shyly.
"Your Majesty, is this appropriate?" Jiang Ye didn't answer this official, but suddenly turned his head sideways and asked Ren Fu.
A few days have passed, and this seems to be the first time that Jiang Ye has seriously asked for his opinion before he wants to do something.
Ren Fu smiled, the hero of the heart path is sad to pass the beauty pass, no matter how difficult this Jiang Ye is to serve, isn't it also planted here? I just don't know which woman is so blessed.
"The most difficult thing in the world is to find a caring person. If General Chiang meets the person he likes in my Dachun country, he gets up and takes him away, and I can draw up my will today. ”
