CHAPTER XLVII
may be because he deliberately dressed up today, Li Xinghe's mood is also much better, after all, girls love beauty.
Li Xinghe quietly circled behind Su Jinxiu, wanting to tease her, so he covered her eyes and said in an unusually low voice,
"Guess who I am."
Su Jinxiu chuckled, then took Li Xinghe's hand down, and said softly,
"Naturally, it's our eldest princess, Her Royal Highness."
Guessing it so quickly, it's so boring, Li Xinghe thought with some frustration.
Su Jinxiu held Li Xinghe's hands and turned around, her eyes full of amazement.
Jin Bu swayed back and forth with the woman's movements, and the fat powder swiped, which can be regarded as 'sideburns and clouds want to be fragrant cheeks and snow'. His eyes were as bright as the stars, and he was forced to observe them, burning like green waves.
"I don't know which noble son of Tianlan will marry you."
Su Jinxiu lightly hooked the tip of Li Xinghe's nose and teased.
"Life is precious, but love is even more valuable. If it is free, both can be thrown. I will marry only those whom I like, and no one can persecute me. ”
Li Xinghe said a few words, but for some reason he thought of Wei Xianrong, after the letter was sent, there was no longer any possibility between her and Wei Xianrong.
How ruthless it is, Li Xinghe, the person concerned, can't stand it, not to mention Wei Xianrong, who is full of enthusiasm, she wants to scold herself when she is ruthless.
At this time, Li Xinghe felt that his hand was held by Su Jinxiu and felt a little painful, didn't his words just now poke the sore spot of others, Li Xinghe secretly scolded himself for being brainless, and was busy saying something to remedy it.
Unexpectedly, Su Jinxiu's face was serious, and she said seriously,
"I heard Cang'er say that Your Majesty has been taking pills a lot recently, and I'm afraid that your body has run out of oil, so Your Highness, you have to seize the opportunity."
After Su Jinxiu finished speaking, he was entangled in banquet matters, and the two had to separate.
According to her meaning, the emperor's time is running out, even if there is no Yuan Qi to make a move, he will die in less than a month, no wonder he will leave an edict in advance.
Li Xinghe adjusted a few rhythms that still didn't match, and cheered up the musicians by the way.
At this time, the guests came one after another, and even Yuan Qi's envoys entered the venue at this time, and it seemed that a good show was about to be staged.
After less than a cup of tea, the royal family was seated. Li Jun's face looked a little ruddy, probably because he had taken the pill, but he still couldn't ignore the gray hair in front of his sideburns and some pale lips.
When Li Jun was seated, the banquet began, and Li Xinghe naturally followed suit.
At the beginning of the banquet, Li Xinghe, as the eldest princess, offered a song of a hundred birds and a phoenix as a birthday gift, which was also regarded as the opening song of the banquet.
The woman is dressed in a red dress embroidered with peony patterns with gold thread, and the hem is long and long, and the tassels on the golden hairpin keep swaying with the woman's lotus steps.
The red lips and the golden flower on the forehead reflect each other, and the tail of the eyebrows is hooked, which really has the majesty and fierceness of the empress.
Li Jun's somewhat cloudy eyes seemed to have some light at this moment, why did he think of the princess who was far away. After a long time, he couldn't remember her face, and he thought that she was already married.
Tianlan's eldest princess has a beautiful appearance, a beautiful posture, and a good hand to play the piano, which can be described as both talented and beautiful, and her reputation is naturally spread far away in Kyushu.
Among them, many of Tianlan's famous nobles also moved this thought, not only to be able to climb the royal tree, but also to marry such a beautiful girl, who is not happy.
The important ministers of the court have also given Li Jun a lot of excerpts in the dark, but the emperor's attitude has always been very ambiguous, and he has never said anything about the marriage of the eldest princess, which makes the ministers very anxious.
At the beginning of the banquet, it was naturally the birthday greetings of the ministers and foreign ministers, Li Jun smiled, but in Li Xinghe's eyes, it was a little like a strong spirit, which made her a little flustered.
If the emperor will die soon, with Li Chengde's power in the court, he has no way to rebel, but the edict is clearly written and passed on to the second prince, at this time Li Xinghe can only hope that the emperor can live longer.
Li Xinghe fumbled with the pattern of the wine glass in front of the table, and looked at the silver bracelet left by the original owner's mother on his wrist, since it saw the light of day again, Li Xinghe has been wearing it every day, which can be regarded as asking for peace.
After everyone has offered all the birthday gifts, it will be the turn of the ministers to give gifts.
"Yuan Qi's envoy has arrived."
It is rumored that the eunuch's spy voice brought Li Xinghe back to his senses, is this about to begin?
I saw that the person who came was wearing the official uniform of Yuan Qi, congratulating Li Jun on his longevity with the gift of Tianlan, followed by four little eunuchs carrying a wooden box together.
At this time, Mu Yaoyao and Li Chengde also quietly entered the table and sat next to Li Xinghe. Looking at the delicate young man in front of him, it is estimated that Shi Ying has not worked hard, and he thinks that he has also delayed time because of this, but his face is still a little pale.
Li Xinghe just wanted to care about Li Chengde a few words, when he heard the envoy in the center of the banquet hall take out a treasure box and say,
"This is a birthday gift specially prepared for you by Your Majesty, but you need to unlock these nine jade rings to spy on this treasure."
Li Jun was interested, and it was the first time he saw such a delicate thing, the nine rings were tightly interlocked, but it was very interesting, so he said in a deep voice,
"I'm full of talents, if anyone can open this box for me, I will be rewarded."
The people below also began to be eager to try, after all, there are not many opportunities to show their faces in front of the emperor, and they must be grasped well.
Pei Shao held the box and walked around the hall for half a circle, but no one could open the box, and the corners of his mouth hooked up a mocking arc.
This was built by the craftsmen of Yuan Qi for several months, in order to take out today's banquet and slap the Tianlan people in the face.
Everyone looked depressed, what kind of thing did this do, nine jade rings, interlocking, there is no way to start. There are only a few people who can solve the two rings, it seems that this Yuan Qilai is not good, and he wants to deliberately embarrass us.
Li Jun saw that no one had been able to untie it after half of the time, his heart sank, and his face was not very good.
After going around for most of the circle, Pei Shao gradually approached Mu Yaoyao's side.
Mu Yaoyao, who was immersed in hard eating, suddenly felt that this dish was not fragrant, and there was a strange smell in the air.
When refining medicines, Mu Xiaoyao needs to distinguish them by the aroma of herbs, so his sense of smell is also extremely sensitive.
The closer Pei Shao got closer, the stronger the smell became, as if it was emitted by the contents of this box. Mu Yaoyao intuitively felt that this was not a good thing, so he pulled Li Xinghe's sleeve and reminded him in a low voice.
Waited until Pei Shao walked to Li Xinghe's table and handed the box over.
