The two gossiped and chatted quite speculatively. Xie Fu on the side glanced over a few times, paused on Xue Minghuai's face, and glanced at Pei Yuxue again. These two people are both cold and reserved, indifferent as water gentlemen, and the scene of sitting together and talking is very eye-catching.

Her gaze suddenly passed through the curtain and looked at Xue Yuxiao, thinking that Pei Yuxue was robbed by her, and the relationship between the two may not be as affectionate as it seems, so she suddenly looked away with relief.

Xue Yuxiao was enveloped by her eyes for a moment, and when she saw Xie Fu figure it out, she turned her head, a little unclear...... What was the emperor thinking in his head, why couldn't she read it well?

Xue Minghuai seemed to appreciate him, and sent someone to bring his embroidered dowry over and give it to Pei Langjun as a gift.

Fengjun's embroidery is extremely delicate and precious, made of good wood, hovering with the pattern of the colorful phoenix flying on it, and the bottom is engraved with a sentence "The body has no colorful phoenix wings, the heart has a little bit of a spiritual rhino, and the winter moon of Xinyou does not regret the gift".

Xie Fu paid a little attention to the things handed over by the two, asked the chamberlain to take a look, and said: "It's just a side gentleman, you still give this to him, if Xue Duwei's Zhengjun comes to see you, wouldn't he want to send the Jiaofang Palace out?" ”

Xue Minghuai was as motionless as a mountain, and said with a blank expression: "Your Majesty is reluctant? ”

"I think you're too willing." Xie Fu said.

Xue Minghuai said, "You are only allowed to give my token to the servant?" ”

As soon as he said this, Xie Fu was suddenly stunned, turned his head and said nothing more. The chamberlain came over to report that there were only some jewelry needles and threads inside, and she raised her hand to ask her to step down.

Although the conversation between the two was only a few sentences, the people who served around them were already sweating and trembling. I am afraid that His Majesty and Feng Jun's anger will affect the pond fish.

Pei Yuxue took the gift with both hands, exchanged a few words with Feng Jun, and was sent back by the palace attendant.

He returned to Xue Yuxiao's side, and before he could speak, the emperor suddenly drank another glass of wine, his face was slightly drunk, and said to Xue Yuxiao in public: "Kaixuan Hou is such a heroic daughter, and she has won the three armies, but I haven't heard of any beautiful women at home who are both beautiful and artistic. Although the son of the Pei family is upright, such a person is inevitably boring. ”

Everyone's attention was drawn to this sentence. Many of the girls were already drunk and out of proportion, and immediately coaxed in: "What Your Majesty said is very true! ”

Some clan gentlemen remembered Xue Yuxiao's former romantic name, and they all smiled, thinking that they were "doing what he liked".

Xue Yuxiao's expression remained unchanged, and he said: "Pei Lang is an upright gentleman, with him by his side, he is already Qin Se and Ming." Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness, but ......"

Xie Fu didn't listen to what she said at all, and casually pointed to the court musician who was playing the piano under the stage and said, "It's you, come here, I will reward you to the Marquis of Triumph, and from then on you will serve the marquis of your family." ”

She didn't ask for advice at all.

The court musician, who was about twenty years old, was stunned for a long time, approached and knelt on the ground, and did not speak with some fear. His fate was only in the thought of the clan nobles, and in the face of fate, he had no power to resist.

As soon as these words fell, Xie Budo immediately dropped his chopsticks, he was too lazy to hide himself, and took a sip of wine with a depressed expression, and was choked by the warm wine for a while, and a trace of bitter taste from the hot wine echoed in his throat.

"Your Highness." The servant handed over the handkerchief.

He just wiped the wine from the corner of his lips and stared at Xue Yuxiao.

Wang Heng, who was sitting next to Prime Minister Wang Cheng, was also stunned, his eyes looked over, and he had a very short contact with Pei Yuxue. Wang Heng was sick and weak and did not drink, he was more rational and sober, his silver hand was slowly tensed, his bones were slightly white, and then he almost wanted to get up-

Wang Xiu held his hand.

"Mother's ......"

Wang Xiu shook his head and said, "What do you want to say?" ”

Wang Heng's lips shook, and he fell silent without saying a word, but the unfinished words were still like a sharp fish thorn, scratching the throat of the base of his tongue.

Both of them were in a bit of a trance, visibly nervous. Cui Qilang, who came with the lord of the Cui family, buried his head in eating, he didn't seem to hear what Xie Fu was saying, but took out a handkerchief and wrote and drew on it with a small piece of charcoal that he carried around his waist.

When the lord of the Cui family saw him looking down and studying, he was angry, gritted his teeth and pinched Cui Qi's arm: "The girls of the Shi clan are here, what are you doing here?" It's not honest yet. ”

Cui Jinzhang didn't finish writing, curled up in a ball and secretly handed it to Cui Mingzhu. Cui Mingzhu was stunned for a moment, and saw that the seventh brother threw an obvious look, and almost threw off these big black and white eyes with cramps at Xue Chanjuan's head, she was speechless, and gave Cui Jinzhang an expression of "You can rest assured that I will do things", and asked the attendant to send it over to Kaixuan Hou later.

The court musician didn't dare to disobey His Majesty, so he walked up to Xue Yuxiao, bowed, and said timidly: "Lord Hou." ”

Xue Yuxiao rubbed his fingers, and frowned slightly: "Disappoint Your Majesty's wishes." The minister doesn't love this Langjun, so let him still play music in the court to relieve His Majesty's worries. ”

Xie Fu reprimanded the musician: "What a waste. Xue Sanniang has a broad vision, so she naturally doesn't look down on a vulgar thing like you. That's it...... Sanniang, there are so many good-looking playthings in the harem, how about those palace servants and slaves, how about you choose? ”

Xue Yuxiao subconsciously glanced at his eldest brother.

Xue Minghuai's fingers slowly tightened, he knew that this was just a moment of anger after Xie Fu was drunk, just because the emperor could not be angry with the important ministers of the scholar clan, and even the anger was inflicted on him in the situation of "favor". The so-called "harem plaything" is not so simple, as long as Xue Yuxiao agrees, she will immediately have an exquisite ornament from the emperor in her garden, responsible for monitoring and controlling her behavior.

Such blatant ear and eye penetration, Xie Fu has always been good at it. The people given by the emperor, even if they have a lot of precautions, cannot easily beat and scold the staff and kill them secretly, so as not to use Xie Fu to harshly rebuke and ask for guilt.

When Xie Fu saw her gaze, she was even more drunk and angry, she raised her hand and pulled Feng Jun over, pulled Xue Minghuai to sit beside her, and said with a slight chill in her smile: "Could it be that Xue Qing still wants to take Feng Jun back?" Are you going to pick your eldest brother back? ”

Xue Yuxiao stood up and saluted, and arched his hand: "The minister doesn't dare, Your Majesty is too worried." It's just that all the kings of the harem belong to His Majesty, and the ministers cannot overcome. ”

Xie Fu glanced around, and suddenly said, "Belong to me?" That should be left to me. It's just some sons, and they have to get married after all. Isn't the wife I chose for them good enough? Xue Chanjuan, you are too humble, and when Du Langjun heard that he was marrying you, he should be secretly happy. ”

She raised her hand and actually pointed to the weak squire from before, who was still pregnant with Xie Fu's child.

"You go, a glass of wine for me to pay tribute to Captain Xue. If she likes you, I can give it away. ”

The waiter suddenly turned pale, he bit his lower lip, was forced to pour a glass of wine, and almost fell down the steps, walking in front of Xue Yuxiao with tears on his face, sobbing and pouring wine for her.

"Your Majesty."

"Your Majesty."

Xue Zeshu and Wang Xiu spoke at the same time.

The two looked at each other and looked away from each other. Then Xue Zeshu gently tapped on the table and took the lead in speaking: "Your Majesty's move is too ridiculous, and it will become the laughing stock of the world." ”

"My absurdity is less than one ten-thousandth of the absurdity before Xue Qing entered the office." Xie Fu said in a frivolous tone and jokingly, "Daqi yearns for madmen and doesn't care about red tape." Xue Qing's beauty drum and skull wine jug, among which the cruel and fierce name are still in my ears, why didn't Lord Sikong whip and dissuade him at that time, but came to persuade me? ”

Her words awakened everyone's understanding of Xue Yuxiao's nature.

The squire was even more frightened and speechless, he was just a secular man in the harem, relying on the emperor's favor to live a more noble life, and the family behind him was very different from Fengjun, so he was jealous. Right now, Xie Fu wants to send him out, or give it to Feng Jun's sister, he can't wait to die, so as not to be tortured so terrifyingly.

Xue Zeshu was speechless for a moment and looked at Wang Xiu.

Prime Minister Wang Cheng was bowing her head to talk to her son-in-law, she pressed Wang Heng's shoulder, asked him not to get up and speak, and lightly admonished: "Have you seen it?" His Majesty's words are not entirely unreasonable. ”

Wang Heng whispered: "She is different from before. ”

Wang Xiu was so angry that he pressed his chest, and at this time, he was facing Xue Sikong's gaze, and his face was suddenly cold, and he stood by.

Xue Yuxiao raised his hand to take the wine glass and drank it all with face, but he still refused again and again: "Your Majesty is wrong to love, this servant is a thousand years old and pregnant, how can he give it to the minister?" Or the emperor's heir is important. ”

Xie Fu said: "It turns out that you still don't like it." Could it be that Xue Qing loves dead things more, and wants me to peel off his skin and make it into a drum surface and screen for you, so that Aiqing is willing to put it at home? ”

This time, even Li Qingchou couldn't sit still, her brows were furrowed, and she was about to get up, when she suddenly saw Pei Yuxue take a step.

His expression was as cold as ice, and his voice was faint, as if he was saying something that had nothing to do with him: "Holy gift, I shouldn't have said it." However, I am in love with my wife and the master, and I don't want to share the same roof with Lang Jun, who is pregnant with her, so I ask Your Majesty to give Pei Yuxue death. ”

There was silence all around, and the falling needles could be heard.

No one thought he could say such a thing.

"Pei Yuxue!" Xue Yuxiao took his hand and blocked him behind him, "Your Majesty, he's too impulsive, actually—"

Xie Fu immediately agreed: "Okay." ”

She casually summoned the chamberlain, instructed two words, and a palace attendant immediately took out a bowl of pitch-black medicinal juice and brought it to Pei Yuxue. His expression remained unchanged, he reached out to take it, but was grabbed by Xue Yuxiao, and asked in a low voice, "Are you crazy?" ”

Pei Yuxue lowered her eyes and swept over, made a lip shape and said, "Vinegar." ”

Xue Yuxiao was stunned, and slowly let go of his hand, only then did he smell a faint sour smell...... She was so anxious that she was a little dizzy, and she didn't even notice. It is indeed impossible for Xie Fu to kill her side monarch in public, and if the emperor really does this, it can be regarded as offending all the Jingzhao clans.

Xie Fu is really ...... Xue Yuxiao felt a playful gaze from above, the emperor seemed to be very interested in her anxiety and gaffe, in the many battles between the two, Xie Fu finally saw her flustered appearance, and finally slightly outcame.

Pei Yuxue drank this bowl of vinegar, and her expression finally changed a little. The bowl of vinegar was so sour and salty that he couldn't speak.

Even if it was better than that, so that Xie Fu could see Xue Yuxiao in chaos as she wished, she still didn't feel very comfortable. Because the "affection" in Pei Yuxue's mouth was indeed correct, she closed her eyes and opened them again, feeling that this birthday was boring, and sighed: "That's it, I'm drunk." Just kidding Xue Qing. ”

Xue Yuxiao held the empty vinegar bowl and threw it on the ground with her backhand, the porcelain bowl fell to the ground, and she said expressionlessly: "The minister accidentally knocked down the palace utensils." Your Majesty, the whole world is stable in Jingzhao's words and deeds, if you get too drunk and let the ministers lose their hands in a panic, I am afraid that the stable imperial capital will not know when it will be torn apart. ”

In front of Xie Fu, this was too offensive.

Xie Fu asked her, "Is Xue Qing threatening me?" ”

Xue Yuxiao said: "Advise." ”

Xie Fu said: "Kaixuan Hou, what a piece of advice!" ”

Xue Yuxiao arched his hand to her and said, "As long as Your Majesty is willing to listen to the advice, the palace is still Your Majesty's palace, the imperial capital is still Your Majesty's imperial capital, and the world is still the world of the Xie family." ”

She lowered her eyes and glanced at the shivering gentleman at her feet, and said, "Chitose return to Your Majesty, the minister will not be blessed." ”

Xie Fu snorted, asked the chamberlain to take the servant back, looked at Xue Yuxiao and said: "Xue Qing, you really let me see that when Lord Sikong was young, Xue Sikong entered the court at the beginning of that year, just and majestic, no different from you today." But ......"

She changed her words and continued, "Lord Sikong doesn't care who the man next to him is, but you do. ”

Xue Yuxiao did not deny it, but said: "Too forgetful, the lowest is not emotional, the love is in my generation." ”

Xie Fu's annoyance disappeared when he heard this, and he personally walked down the steps to appease Xue Yuxiao, who looked very much like Emperor Xian's ministers.

Everyone was dumbfounded, barely able to react to the conversation between the two. Only a few old ministers who have been up and down in the court for decades must know in their hearts that this is the little emperor's temptation of the available ministers. She hates Nengchen who has no weaknesses the most, Xue Yuxiao is both civil and military, and she is worried about Pei Yuxue like this, which is actually very much to her liking.

It's this Pei Langjun...... Even if he reasonably knew that the emperor would not really give him death, but when he said this, didn't he have the slightest fear in his heart?

Xie Fu handed Xue Yuxiao a few steps, and she reluctantly got down, and after returning to the seat, she happened to meet the attendant sent by Cui Mingzhu and handed her a handkerchief.

Xue Yuxiao opened it in front of Pei Yuxue, and saw Cui Jinzhang's elegant handwriting on it, which read:

"Fishy meat firewood, not good, the mixed vegetables are slightly spicy and refreshing, and they are edible. The pastries are fresh and sweet, the wine is mellow and fragrant, and the top quality is on the top. Suspect that the palace dining room cut corners, the seasoning is inferior, the vinegar is too sour and salty, and the food is ruined, so avoid jealousy today. Cui Qi gift. ”

Chapter 51

"Please, both." After the banquet, the palace attendant led the two out of the Qianqiu Palace, and said with palpitations, "The words of the Hou Lord today really make the little heart tremble, for fear that if the words continue, Your Majesty will break with the family." ”

Most of the attendants in the palace are biased towards the Xie royal family, but some of them are attached to the scholar family, which are the side branches selected and sent by the major families, especially some of the maids who are responsible for the performance of the will, not only shoulder the responsibility of serving the royal family, but also the bridge between the two forces and cooperate with each other.

"The nobles are too worried." Xue Yuxiao said, "Your Majesty is just drunk, and I just made a few wild words after drinking." None of the adults present spoke, don't worry, it's just a joke. ”

The palace attendant wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, and couldn't help but say, "The Hou Lord really made me want to wait." Not only you, but even Pei Langjun's words are really frightening. ”

Xue Yuxiao said in his heart, no, he also scared me. Thinking about it, she turned her head to look at Pei Yuxue, who was staring at the stone steps covered with a thin layer of snow under his feet, reached out to support Xue Yuxiao's arm, and said lightly: "Be careful." ”

I don't know when a light snow falls in the night sky.

The sky is covered with light snow on the palace walls, covering the carved beams and paintings with a layer of ethereal white. The moonlight was silent, enveloping the imperial city, allowing the vermilion walls and green tiles that represented power to be covered by snow.

Under the silver night moon, between the light snow, Pei Yuxue's side cheeks were particularly cold and gentle, his eyelashes cast a shallow shadow, and his ink eyes were picturesque.

Xue Yuxiao suddenly remembered a poem, and her mind suddenly threw herself like a stone into the water, causing a circle of ripples to spread, and together with the night breeze pouring into her chest, there was a faint and inexhaustible fragrance of cold plums.

Xue Yuxiao retracted his gaze and swept around twice in front of him with nowhere to place.

Out of the palace ban, the snowflakes have fallen all over the hair, and they will disappear in an instant. Xue Yuxiao was about to board the car, when suddenly someone stopped her from behind, and when she turned around, she saw that it was Cui Mingzhu.

Cui Mingzhu finally caught up with her, walked over quickly and pressed Xue Yuxiao's shoulder, and opened his mouth to say: "The emperor sent you, why don't you want it?" I think that little musician plays the piano well, and he is also very handsome. ”
