Chapter 160: When things go wrong, there must be demons

Everyone knows that she doesn't deal with Leng Chengxiang.

At this moment, Prime Minister Leng is extremely kind, and there must be demons when things go wrong.

Zhu Jiu stared at the glass of wine and didn't move for a long time.

Even Emperor Yan raised his head from the arms of the beauties who surrounded him, his eyes fell on Zhu Jiu in confusion, and he smiled a little puzzledly: "Aiqing, this is the wine that Leng Xiang gave you, why don't you drink it?"

On the other side of the women's seat, Leng Qingxiu, who was dressed luxuriously, got up, smiled coldly and coquettishly, and said to everyone: "Your Majesty, General Zhu has been frightened by assassins in the past few days, so it must not be appropriate to drink, so why don't you ask the general to show your talent?" I remember that the general's skills are excellent, and when he was thirteen years old, he was already the first in the world in sword dance, reaching the pinnacle, no one can compare!"

As soon as these words came out, many people burst into laughter.

I didn't expect that the dignified general would be afraid of a few little assassins, and now he is so afraid that he doesn't even dare to drink a glass of cold wine!

And today was Zhu Jiu's celebration banquet, and Emperor Yan specially organized it for her, but at this moment, someone proposed to let her perform her talents, which was undoubtedly a great insult for a courtier.

The eldest princess Zhang Yuzhi on the side frowned, a little unbearable.

But because of Leng Xiang's power in the court, she didn't have much to say, so she could only look at Zhu Jiu worriedly, praying that she would ask for more blessings.

"Let's drink this glass of wine, I have heard that the wine in the palace of the Yan Kingdom is a jade liquid, and when I saw it today, it was so."

Just when everyone thought that this glass of wine would definitely fall into Zhu Jiu's belly, Jiang Cheng stood up.

Xuanyuan Che glanced at Prime Minister Leng as he spoke, and a sneer flashed in his eyes.

He laughed harmlessly, and no one noticed the anomaly.

However, the little prince over there saw that Prime Minister Leng had an unhappy look on his face, and sneered, "What's the matter, Father? You wouldn't be reluctant to give Mr. Jiang even a glass of wine, would you?"

"Shhh...... Father Xiang is not such a stingy person, when did he become so picky and searching?"

After finishing speaking, without waiting for Prime Minister Leng to show an ugly look on his face, he turned his head and said to Emperor Yan with an innocent expression: "Father, anyway, Mr. Jiang is also General Zhu's person, General Zhu has worked very hard for the defense of the country these days, and he is not strong enough to drink, so it's okay to let Mr. Jiang drink a drink for her, right?"

Emperor Yan nodded to Jiang Cheng with a smile, and while looking at him, he showed a satisfied look, "Okay, just drink, it's rare for General Zhu to have such a heartfelt person by his side, and I am also very pleased."

"Thank you, Your Majesty......"

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

The two voices sounded at the same time, and just as Jiang Cheng was about to drink, he was suddenly stopped by a plain hand.

This hand is slender and powerful, and its cold white complexion stands out in the light of the candlelight.

Jiang Cheng was stunned, looked to the side along his gaze, saw Zhu Jiu's face appear beside him, raised his head and smiled, took his wine glass, and a glass of wine fell to the ground in front of everyone.

The crowd gasped.

"That's arrogant! Zhu Jiu didn't give face to Prime Minister Leng so much, he was obviously looking for death!"

"Although Zhu Jiu and Prime Minister Leng have always been incompatible, it doesn't mean that they don't even pretend to be face-saving, right?"

"That is, although the Zhu family has the power of the army, the military salary and logistics supply are all in the six departments, and among the six departments, except for the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Households, the other three are all cold-faced people!"

These ministers whispered, without the slightest concern that Emperor Yan was here, these words could not be said.

But Emperor Yan's eyes were no longer as clear as before, and at this moment, he laughed confusedly, and in a noisy voice, he asked Zhu Jiu loudly, "Aiqing, what do you mean by this? What do you do with a good glass of wine poured on the ground? This is a wine that I have treasured for more than ten years!"

Hearing this, Zhu Jiu sighed and smiled helplessly: "Your Majesty, this cup of wine is to commemorate the first emperor who died for the country, as well as the heroic souls of the 100,000 soldiers of the Yan Kingdom who were slaughtered by the Xuanyuan army before.

"Your Majesty is so well aware of righteousness, presumably they know that these tens of thousands of heroic souls should also rest in peace."

As soon as these words came out, Emperor Yan couldn't laugh.

The first emperor, the first emperor is his father, he is not the most important son of the first emperor.

It's just that the battle for the heir back then was too tragic, and he saved himself early and moved into the fiefdom to become an idle prince, so he escaped.

But the admiration for the first emperor in my heart has always been there.

Later, he ascended the throne as a king, and he was also diligent in government and loved the people, yes, when did he become such a foolish virtue?

Looking down further, Emperor Yan's eyes were a little clearer, but with a little shock and incomprehension-

Why are all the old ministers in his court gone?

Suddenly, he remembered that those courtiers seemed to have been killed by him because they had come to advise him.

Emperor Yan's face suddenly became ugly, and it seemed that even the ministers noticed that his demeanor was wrong, and for a while, no one in the entire Taiji Hall dared to speak anymore, and unlike Fang Cai's noise, the air gradually quieted down.

Zhu Jiu still maintained the posture of saluting to thank him, and after a long time, Emperor Yan took a deep breath, slowly straightened his back, and waved his hand to the beauties beside him, and only after they retreated did he get up and said, "Get up, Aiqing."

"You're right, not only should you remember the soldiers who died, but even I, you should remember them!"

As soon as the words fell, Emperor Yan raised his wine glass, walked all the way down the throne, helped Zhu Jiu, and then took her to the door, and sprinkled all the wine in the wine glass towards the bright moon, and the gloomy sky seemed to feel something, and gradually blew a layer of cool breeze.

This is winter, winter night, the Taiji Hall is as warm as spring, but there is no stove and charcoal fire outside the Taiji Hall, and the cold seems to be able to freeze off a layer of skin.

Seeing that Zhu Jiu could easily restore Emperor Yan to his former appearance, the ministers who had originally despised her were all frightened, where did they dare to speak provocatively like before?

They hurriedly got up and followed to the gate of the palace, and sprinkled a pot of hot wine on Mingyue to show respect.

After that, the atmosphere gradually became warmer, and Zhu Jiu also returned to his seat to talk and laugh with Emperor Yan, and even sat closer than Leng Xiang, which made Leng Xiang clench his sleeves tightly, and his eyes were full of unwillingness.

Why!

Why can Zhu Jiu easily snatch all his imperial favors as soon as he appears?

Not only women are jealous, but men are also jealous, even heavier than women.

However, just as Leng Xiang gritted his teeth and looked over there, he suddenly met a cold gaze that looked at him.

When the plain, at most delicate eyebrows and eyes looked at him, they saw the sneer in his eyes clearly.

This is...... Jiang Cheng, the staff member next to Zhu Jiu?

Good boy, even a mere staff member dares to throw a face at him?

Leng Xiang's eyes sank, and the cup in his hand smashed down instantly.

Bang!

Throwing the cup as a number, in the blink of an eye, there was a riot outside the Taiji Hall......
