5 Banquets
That gaze had a cold glow, which made her suddenly think of the knife that Pei Jing put on her neck in her dream.
It was cold and piercing, as if it would cut her throat in the next second.
Fu Guiyi felt that his throat was dry, his heart was beating extremely fast, and there was even a double image in front of him.
Since Pei Jing entered the hall, Fu Guiyi was inexplicably in a state of panic, and he couldn't wait to jump up and leave immediately.
Her fingertips sink into her palms, forcing herself to calm down.
Fortunately, he didn't stop, and simply sat down neatly.
"Everyone, please."
Pei Jing's voice was cold, and he couldn't hear joy or anger.
When Fu Guiyi sat back in his position, he had already collected his emotions, and the expression on his face was as indifferent as usual.
She straightened her back and stared straight ahead, like a wooden sculpture nailed to the spot, stiff and vigilant for something.
The singing and dancing sounded again, but no one dared to be as presumptuous and casual as before.
Fu Guiyi's position was arranged in the first place on the left side of the main hall, very close to Pei Jing.
She pretended to enjoy the singing and dancing, and she didn't even dare to look at the afterglow. However, the cold gaze from the prince above swept over her forehead, side cheeks, and earlobes from time to time...... Each time it was like a bone scraper, as if it was going to scrape off a layer of her skin.
Fu Guiyi's uneasy feeling in her heart was even heavier, and she couldn't show a trace of timidity and retreat.
When will this banquet be dispersed, it is really torturous.
Pei Jing has no conclusive evidence to prove that she is a woman, to some extent, she has won this time, as long as he can't catch her flaws in the future, doubt can only be doubt forever.
Fu Guiyi twisted his eyebrows slightly, picked up the wine cup and drank it all in one gulp, forcing the anxiety in his heart.
The bright candlelight made Pei Jing, who was in a high position, see Fu Guiyi's demeanor and expression clearly.
Today, she was dressed in white, with a long body, and her cold eyebrows and eyes showed obvious nervousness and vigilance, but she pretended to be calm.
She didn't know that she was like a lone bird caught in a bluff, and his slightest action could make her panic.
In fact, he did so, Pei Jing frequently cast his gaze at her viciously, and sure enough, her back became more and more stiff, her thick eyelashes trembled faster, and the corners of her lips were almost white.
The corners of Pei Jing's lips hooked up a trace of inconspicuous arc, pretending to think about her, this is going to be unbearable, so what can she do tonight.
He sneered in his heart, but since she dared to commit the crime of bullying the king, she had to be prepared for the consequences of being discovered.
Pei Jing enjoyed the feeling of the prey falling into the trap step by step.
After three rounds of drinking, everyone also let go a lot, not as restrained as when Pei Jing first arrived.
Chi Qiuhong, who was on the other side, saw that Ural had been pulling Fu Shizi to talk for a long time, and quietly glanced at His Royal Highness the Prince, and found that he looked at the dancers with a cold expression, and he couldn't suppress his desire to go to Fu Shizi for a drink.
That day, Ural said that Fu Shizi drank very well, and Chi Qiuhong couldn't imagine what such a cold and silent person would be like when he drank and what it would be like to be drunk.
As soon as he got up, Pei Jing stopped him.
"It's been a long time since I've been taking the school's homework for all the sons, since Chi Shizi has stood up, it's better for you to answer."
Chi Qiuhong suddenly couldn't catch it in one breath, he knew that he would sit honestly, and he would not be favored by His Royal Highness the Prince.
Pei Jing asked a few questions, and Chi Qiuhong stammered to answer, and just when he thought he had passed, Pei Jing threw out the last question.
Pei Jing: "Please ask Chi Shizi to recite the first article of the third volume of the "Nanling Law". ”
Fu Guiyi frowned when he heard this, it was this again, whether he did it unintentionally or deliberately.
She didn't expect Pei Jing to come to the banquet like this, and she didn't expect him to order Chi Qiuhong.
Chi Qiuhong knew that this was a crime of bullying the king, but he would forget the specific description for a while, and looking at the stunning gaze of His Royal Highness the Prince, his mind was even more blank.
He subconsciously looked at Fu Guiyi.
Pei Jing said casually: "Chi Shizi, if you can't answer, you will stay in the palace tomorrow to review your homework." ”
Chi Qiuhong is really going to cry now, everyone goes out to reunite with their families, but he wants to study in the deep palace alone, just thinking about it is very desolate.
Why is he so unlucky today, is it because he offended His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?
Chi Qiuhong hung his head and was about to kneel down to accept the punishment, and listened to Pei Jing say slowly: "But you answered well before, I will give you a chance to ask for help from someone present, if he can answer correctly, it will be considered you." ”
Chi Qiuhong's heart when he fell to the bottom came to life in an instant, he wanted to be there who was still Fu Shizi reliable, this morning he had passed the Taifu "Nanling Law" assessment, and he looked at Fu Guiyi like a helper.
Fu Guiyi didn't want to get involved in this matter, especially since this exam question was exactly the same as the last time Pei Jing tested her. didn't blame her for thinking too much, she even felt that Pei Jing was just talking to her.
However, she looked at Shangchi Qiuhong's pitiful gaze, and thought of sending a large bottle of qi and blood replenishing pills from Changding Palace. Ah Yi said that all the medicinal materials used in it were rare medicinal materials, and this whole bottle was worth a thousand gold.
Pei Jing didn't seem to do anything tentative except for occasionally looking at her once or twice tonight, maybe she was really too sensitive. She has been like a frightened bird lately, thinking about the worst outcome whenever the wind blows.
Fu Guiyi took a deep breath and stood up, walked to the center and bowed to Pei Jing, his voice was cold.
"Please give it a try."
Pei Jing said lightly: "Fu Shizi, you have to think about it, if you answer wrong, you will be punished together." ”
Chi Qiuhong's heart tightened, even if he knew that Fu Shizi could do it, he still couldn't help but feel a little guilty at this moment.
Fu Guiyi nodded without hesitation, and said calmly: "Article 1 of the third volume of "Nanling Law", bullying the king is the greatest, and he will be sentenced for the matter. The light one is beheaded, and the heavy one is punished by the nine clans. The monarch must not be offended, and the heavy punishment will be corrected. ”
Her voice is cold, not hurried or slow, like broken jade in Kunshan, which makes people feel comfortable in their hearts.
When the last word fell, Pei Jing let out a short chuckle.
"Fu Shizi really said it word for word, and he should be rewarded."
Chi Qiuhong looked at the young man in white who was neither humble nor arrogant gratefully, Fu Shizi was really a cold-faced and warm-hearted person, and his heart was softer than anyone else.
Fu Guiyi's heart trembled, and she heard Pei Jing's tone with a bit of gnashing of teeth.
Her eyebrows lowered, "Don't dare." ”
Pei Jing said loudly: "This pot of 'white fall' is the imperial wine of the palace, and it is hard to find. Hearing that Fu Shizi had good wine, he rewarded the two of them to taste it together. ”
Zhao Qing held a lacquered wood carved gold tray in both hands, on which was placed a white jade wine jug with a twined pattern, and two wine glasses of the same suit, which were poured and placed in front of Fu Guiyi and Chi Qiuhong.
Fu Guiyi paused, first picked up the wine glass close to him and handed it to Chi Qiuhong, and then took the wine glass from his side and drank it himself.
Seeing that he was flattered and grateful, Fu Guiyi felt a little guilty.
In fact, she was selfish, afraid that Pei Jing would drug her wine glass.
If she was really drugged, Chi Qiuhong would be able to help her block the catastrophe, and if she really came at her, Pei Jing would definitely let this glass of wine accidentally spill over.
When the two returned to their seats safe and sound, Fu Guiyi's heart was embarrassed, I thought that Pei Jing would continue to make things difficult, but I didn't expect him to let it go so easily, sure enough, she thought too much.
Pei Jing quietly watched Fu Guiyi's small movements, and couldn't help but secretly praise her for not leaking, no wonder she dared to disguise herself under his nose.
Unfortunately, everything she did was in vain.
Pei Jing glanced at Zhao Qing, and he nodded quietly to indicate that everything had been arranged.
Pei Jing stood up with his wine glass and said loudly: "You princes have come from afar, it is the blessing of my Nanling. We are willing to work with you to create a peaceful and prosperous world in the world, and we will be good for thousands of years. ”
The sons of the world stood up and raised their glasses together, bowing in unison: "I wish to have a good relationship with Nanling for eternity." ”
Pei Jing's expression was slightly dark, and his voice became a little softer: "There is still something to do, take the first step, you can do your own thing." ”
After saying that, he left.
Fu Guiyi watched Pei Jing stride out of the hall, and before he came, he was worried about what problems he would have for himself, and he thought of countless countermeasures, all of which were useless.
He actually walked away like this.
Fu Guiyi didn't know how to describe his mood at this time, probably carefully preparing for an exam, and finally found that the examiner said that he would not take the exam.
I don't know if I won't take the test today or not in the future.
Fu Guiyi breathed a long sigh of relief, in general, his mood was much lighter, and the stuffy breath that was stuck in his chest slowly dissipated.
Things to do in the coming day, let's talk about it in the coming day, Deng Yi should have packed his things.
Thinking that they would be able to leave the palace early tomorrow morning, Fu Guiyi's eyes couldn't help but reveal a little joy.
The dim candlelight hit her fair skin, exuding a warm and soft light, and the whole person was covered with a layer of fireworks, which made people fascinated.
The song and dance in the apse after Pei Jing left sounded again, and the atmosphere gradually became warmer, Ural had long forgotten what he had said today, and he was going to fight for wine with Fu Guiyi.
She wanted to go back early, but Chi Qiuhong also joined the ranks of persuading drinking, Fu Guiyi was in a good mood at this time, so she drank two glasses shallowly, and when she drank, she was still observing whether Chi Qiuhong's body was abnormal.
Seeing that his face was red and full of energy, the last bit of vigilance and vigilance disappeared.
Fu Guiyi put down the wine cup, Ural and Chi Qiuhong fell on her left and right, their cheeks flushed, and they snored after a while.
She snorted secretly, sitting at the table with a kind of loneliness that was unbearable from a high place, is this wine so strong?
Shaking his head helplessly, he summoned the eunuch to help the two of them back, and he followed him out, and when the cold wind blew, he suddenly felt a little hot in his body, and his brain seemed to burn.
I accidentally drank too much again.
Fu Guiyi twisted her eyebrows slightly in annoyance, and after a while, Deng Yi was going to say that she was greedy for cups. It's also strange that I didn't feel much when I drank the wine in Nanling, but the stamina was quite big.
"Fu Shizi, the road outside is dark, and the slave will guide you to the lamp." A little eunuch with an unfamiliar face greeted him, and Fu Guiyi subconsciously wanted to refuse. But when she saw that the other princes had eunuchs walking in front with lanterns, she didn't want to be different, so she agreed.
A cloud of snow fell quietly on her forehead, quickly turning into water stains and running down her cheeks.
Fu Guiyi was shocked to realize that something was wrong, her body was getting hotter and hotter, and even her legs became sore.
"You ......" She looked up suddenly, and found that this was not the way back to Changding Palace at all.
"Shizi, what's wrong?" The little eunuch paused, and slowly turned his head to look at Fu Guiyi.
His two eyes looked faintly, and the candle flame was imprinted on the black pupils, like a ghost seeking his life.
Fu Guiyi immediately turned around and ran back, and fell into endless darkness in the next second.
