Chapter 405: Assassination
The two looked behind them, only to find that the eighth princess had been standing there for some time, still holding a few blooming flowers in her hands.
"Princess." Luo Ning and Tang Yueling got up and bowed to her.
"Humph! Sister Yueling is good or bad, and she actually said bad things about me behind my back. ”
Tang Yueling smiled embarrassedly, this was really embarrassing to be caught by the main owner for saying bad things.
"Eighth princess, where am I talking bad here!" Tang Yueling said softly: "It's not that I think the princess is articulate and eloquent, I really look clumsy in front of the princess." ”
"So you're not clumsy in front of the eldest sister-in-law?" The eighth princess blinked and smiled slyly, "Sister-in-law, Sister Yueling said you have a stupid mouth!" ”
Luo Ning listened to the eighth princess's address to her, and her cheeks turned red for a while.
"The eloquence of the courtiers is indeed not as good as that of Her Royal Highness the princess and the county lord, and the courtiers are willing to bow down." Luo Ning smiled, "It's just that Your Royal Highness the Princess, it's really inappropriate for you to call me the eldest imperial sister-in-law." ”
"What's inappropriate, anyway, your marriage with the eldest brother is coming soon." The eighth princess said disapprovingly, and looked at the seats of the two again.
"This princess doesn't care, this princess will sit with the two of you." The eighth princess didn't care about it, and squeezed towards the position between Luo Ning and Tang Yueling.
The bench itself is not long, two people sit comfortably, and three people are slightly crowded.
It's just that the Eighth Duke is going to sit, and the two of them won't really say anything, after all, this is the Imperial Palace.
The eight princesses are a royal family, and they don't need to offend people.
After a while, the number of people in this royal garden increased.
Even Ye Ruiming, who was on the cusp of the storm during this time, came.
He was followed by Cai Wei, who had just ascended to the throne.
"Why did the third brother bring her here?" The eighth princess looked at Cai Wei, and her tone cast a wave of disdain.
"Sister-in-law, don't you have a distant relative who also gave the third brother a concubine? Why didn't the third brother take her? The eighth princess looked at Luo Ning with some puzzlement.
In her opinion, even a concubine is better than this maidservant, after all, she is also a young lady from a small family.
"That's the girl of my uncle's family, she has always been timid, I'm afraid that she will be like a transparent person in the Three Princes' Mansion!" Luo Ning said lightly.
For that cousin, she didn't have any impression or good feelings, she only remembered that the person was close to Luo Zixin, and she was afraid that she was also obedient to Cai Wei's tidying up.
"That's no status?" The eighth princess frowned, "What kind of vision is this third brother!" ”
As she spoke, the eighth princess couldn't stand it anymore and got up and walked towards Ye Ruiming.
Luo Ning and Tang Yueling glanced at each other, and the two followed.
"Third brother! What did you bring her for! Is a mere worthy of this kind of occasion? The eighth princess said dissatisfiedly, and glanced at Cai Wei with disdain.
"Eighth child, take care of your mouth, as a princess, where is your etiquette and upbringing?" Ye Ruiming frowned and scolded coldly.
"Third Brother ......"
"Princess, let's go back and sit, this is someone else's family matter, if you are kind enough to take care of it, you will be treated as a donkey's liver and lungs!" Tang Yueling said something pointedly, pulled the eighth princess and turned around.
"Humph!" The eighth princess was still unhappy, and deliberately bumped into Cai Wei when she left.
I don't know if the princess is powerful, or Cai Wei deliberately wanted to make a little bird, and fell directly into Ye Ruiming's arms, and looked at the eighth princess with contempt.
If it weren't for being pulled by Luo Ning and Tang Yueling, these eight princesses would probably be able to rush up to Cai Wei to fight.
"Sister-in-law, Sister Yueling, look at her like that! My third brother, he must have been blinded by lard! The eighth princess spoke angrily, patted the place where Cai Wei had just hit with a handkerchief, and then threw the handkerchief in disgust.
Luo Ning glanced at Tang Yueling, who hooked her lips and comforted the eighth princess softly.
However, after being troubled by the eighth princess like this, when everyone looked at Ye Ruiming and them again, their eyes were a little strange.
Especially those who have dealt with Luo Zixin in the past have also recognized Cai Wei's identity.
Almost everywhere at the feast there was a discussion about it.
It is nothing more than the fact that the roses are sold for glory, and the pheasants become phoenixes and the like.
These gossips didn't get a breather until the emperor came, and no one dared to say that in front of the Son of Heaven.
……
"The main purpose of today's banquet is to reward the meritorious people in the southwest." The emperor said lightly: "So everyone is letting go of eating and playing, and you don't have to be restrained." ”
Although this is the case, in fact, there are a few people who dare to disobey the rules!
"Father, the son has something to say." After Ye Ruiming finished speaking, he suddenly stood up.
The emperor glanced at him, just thinking that he wanted to explain the gossip during this time in the presence of so many people.
"Today is a day to celebrate the merits of all those who have made meritorious contributions, and you will talk about it later." The emperor coldly rejected Ye Ruiming's request.
"Father!" Ye Ruiming frowned slightly, and said, "What Erchen said is related to the disaster in the southwest. ”
"Huh? Something to do with the Southwest? The emperor looked at the serious expression on Ye Ruiming's face, frowned slightly, and paused for a while before whispering: "Don't let me down." ”
Ye Ruiming walked to the front of the emperor and stood a few steps away, and said: "Father, the son feels guilty about what happened in the southwest during this time, if it weren't for the fact that the son of the minister knows no one and knows no one, many things can be avoided, so the son wants to go to the southwest in person to contribute to the reconstruction over there, and ask for the father's permission." ”
The emperor and everyone didn't expect Ye Ruiming to make such a request for a while.
You must know that the southwest was not a wealthy place before the disaster, let alone after the disaster.
A prince's request to go there is tantamount to throwing himself into a deserted place.
"That's what you really think?" The emperor opened his mouth to confirm.
"The son has made up his mind, and I ask my father for permission!"
"Good, good!" The corners of the emperor's mouth curled, and he said: "You will set off in three days, and when you settle down there, you will return to Beijing." ”
"Thank you, Father!"
"Come and sit next to me." The emperor nodded with a little satisfaction, and Zhiye Ruiming sat beside him.
Ye Ruiming didn't expect to make such a request, and he was given a seat, and he couldn't help but look at Cai Wei, it seems that he really got a virtuous help.
"Thank you, Father!" Ye Ruiming saluted respectfully, then walked to the emperor's side, and just wanted to sit down, suddenly a short blade fell from him, and he didn't know why, he quickly grabbed it in his hand.
The knife was sharp, and the distance was too close, and it just pierced the emperor beside Ye Ruiming.
In the eyes of everyone, Ye Ruiming's movements at this moment were like bending over and stabbing.
And Ye Ruiming himself was already stunned.
Where did the dagger come from?
How could it be in his hands?
What is he doing now?
The emperor looked up at Ye Ruiming, he even thought that his child was sensible just now, but this slap in the face came too quickly!
"Someone! Escort! The first to react was Gonggong Ma beside the emperor.
"Night Ruiming!" The emperor's face sank, he looked at Ye Ruiming indifferently, raised his hand and directly knocked out the dagger in his hand.
"Father, it's not like this, and the sons don't know ......"
"Don't take down the third prince yet!" Ma Gonggong shouted at the top of his voice, interrupting Ye Ruiming's miserable and weak defense.
