Chapter 404: Laughing and talking
But without waiting for Yang Yunxi to speak, Zhu Li took the initiative to hug the little worm and didn't make things too much. He said: "Little insect likes it so much, Dun'er likes it too, you pick it up when you go back to Xiaohu, and keep it for Dun'er to play." ”
Hu Man agreed respectfully, and thanked Dun'er again.
The little insect was holding a small ball with eight treasures, and his teeth were so big that he was smiling. Yang Yunxi took the little worm over, and then asked the nurse to go back with the little worm first.
Next, the emperor took the lead in drinking a glass of wine, and the feast was officially begun. It's been nothing. It's just that the emperor personally added a few dishes to Zeng Guifei, which is a bit out of line.
It wasn't until the third round of wine that Wu Qingrui suddenly got up and walked quickly to the middle and knelt down.
Everyone didn't know what Wu Qingrui was going to do, so naturally they all stopped and looked at Wu Qingrui. The huge hall was quiet for a while, and he couldn't even hear the slightest sound, and he focused his attention on Xiao Wu's place.
"How?" The emperor glanced at Zhu Li, and saw that Zhu Li also looked stunned and unaware, so he looked at Wu Qingrui again. And asked out loud.
Yang Yunxi was slightly annoyed in his heart. Naturally, knowing that Wu Qingrui did this, others would only think that the people in the womb had no rules. Moreover, Wu Qingrui didn't know what to say. If she said something that angered the emperor, don't say that she is Zhu Li, and she will be eaten and hung up!
But at this point, she can only watch. It's impossible to pull Wu Qingrui back, isn't it?
Wu Qingrui faced the emperor's inquiry, and kowtowed timidly, pretending to be calm: "The concubine has something to ask the emperor for mercy!" ”
Although Wu Qingrui seemed to be calm, her voice was already trembling. Looking at it is to give people a sense of strength.
Yang Yunxi narrowed his eyes slightly, unsure whether Wu Qingrui was really scared or fake. However, there is one thing she can conclude: the matter that Wu Qingrui wants to talk about is definitely not a trivial matter. It's not good, it has something to do with her.
Yang Yunxi was thinking in his heart, but the emperor frowned and said, "Anyway, what's the matter?" ”
Just by listening to the tone, you can know how impatient the emperor is. After all, as soon as I heard Wu Qingrui say this, I knew that it was definitely not a good thing.
Zhu Li also said in a deep voice: "If there is anything, you can wait until the banquet is over and tell me." ”
Zhu Li's meaning is obvious. However, Wu Qingrui was obviously a little reluctant, and what was even more worrying was that Zhu Qi, the king of An, also spoke out at this time.
Zhu Qi, who only listened, smiled: "Big brother, what is this doing?" I know that you don't want to disturb my father's interest, but I don't know, I think you want to hide something from your father. ”
As soon as these words came out, the emperor's expression changed significantly.
Zhu Li's expression also changed.
Yang Yunxi felt that Zhu Qi's attitude towards things now was very different from before-although Zhu Qi was a bastard in the past, he was still afraid of Zhu Li, the eldest brother. But now Zhu Qi's attitude is clearly a little bit of not taking Zhu Li in his eyes, and he has to go against Zhu Li.
What does Zhu Qi want to do? Yang Yunxi frowned.
The emperor spoke up: "It's okay, no matter what it is, there are no outsiders in Hengzhu today, you just come and listen to it." ”
Yang Yunxi felt that the emperor's words were not only for Wu Qingrui, but also for Zhu Qi. Of course, it is not difficult to hear it after savoring it, the emperor's meaning is clear, and he agrees with Zhu Qi's words a little, and feels that Zhu Li is trying to hide something.
Zhu Li had a hard time, and it was not easy to justify, but he just glanced at Wu Qingrui deeply.
Yang Yunxi couldn't help but think that if she was Zhu Li, she was afraid that she would not be able to help but want to strangle Wu Qingrui.
Wu Qingrui obviously didn't think there was anything wrong with doing this, and she couldn't help but be proud in her heart, feeling that she had thought of a good idea.
Wu Qingrui continued, but she calmed down a lot: "This matter also has something to do with Yang Guiren. The concubine wanted to intercede for the mother-in-law of the concubine's aunt. ”
Yang Yunxi reacted for a moment, and then realized that Wu Qingrui was interceding for the old lady of the Yang family, Shen. When even the corners of his lips twitched, and he wanted to sneer and felt that it was out of place, he couldn't help it.
It's just that she couldn't help but glance at Wu Qingrui weirdly, and she didn't understand where Wu Qingrui had the courage to bring up such a thing at this time.
Wu Qingrui didn't wait for the emperor to ask, but continued to talk about herself; "The old lady of the Yang family is really old, although she did foolish things back then, but now she also knows that she is wrong. It is really inappropriate to be interrogated and detained like this. Originally, the concubine shouldn't have come to intercede for this matter, but the concubine knew that Yang Guiren was a little worried in her heart, so she had the courage to do it this time. ”
While speaking, Wu Qingrui turned her head to look at Yang Yunxi and said, "Yang Guiren, now that the old lady of the Yang family is sick, even if you are resentful, you should always take care of your family——"
Wu Qingrui's words were no less than slapping Yang Yunxi's face directly.
Yang Yunxi was almost laughed at by Wu Qingrui. What does this mean? This is clearly saying that she is an indifferent person who does not care about family affection. It was clearly said that she was resentful of the Yang family, so she just sat and watched the excitement.
In this way, the atmosphere is suddenly a little delicate. Everyone looked at Yang Yunxi, although they may not have shown anything on their faces, but their eyes were a little meaningful.
Even the emperor is no exception.
Yang Yunxi's mind was racing, and he kept thinking about what he should do. Such silence is naturally inappropriate, even if she doesn't mean that, others will think that she acquiesces. And wait until Zhu Li lifts the siege for her? Naturally, it wasn't what she wanted.
Yang Yunxi has never been willing to be a person who is led by the nose, so she suddenly laughed, and then got up and walked to Wu Qingrui's side, and saluted the emperor without hurry, humility or arrogance, and then said: "Please also ask the emperor to allow the concubine to defend a few words." ”
The emperor bowed slightly: "Yes." ”
Perhaps because he thought it was funny, the emperor even showed a slight smile. Others watched with interest.
Only Zhu Li, Princess Zhaoping and Empress Dowager Tu sank their faces: the matter has come to this point, no matter how it is solved, in short, the face of the Taigong Palace is not good-looking. After all, whether it is Wu Qingrui or Yang Yunxi, they are all people from the Taiwo. Happened to this, do you think the face of the palace can be bright?
And I'm afraid that this matter will also make the people in the palace talk about it for a while. If it is spread outside the palace, it will be a joke after tea and dinner.
