Volume 2: The Holy Capital Volume Qingyun Banquet: (10) Words in front of the palace
"Eating this pill is able to resist some toxicity. Medusa put a pill in Ye Xuan's hand.
"Thank you, Sister Sha. ”
"I can't control you. "Medusa had a big head.
Ye Xuan immediately drank half of the bottle of Wind Jade, and put the remaining half bottle into the Flame Feather Bow. The pure power was swimming in the meridians of the body, and the gentle power was constantly washing the bones and muscles, and Ye Xuan felt that his body seemed to be a lot lighter for a moment of pranayama.
"It's a good thing. ”
"At night, I promise to make you die of pain, and you still have the leisure to sigh about this. Medusa sighed, and lay lazily admiring the snow outside, and from time to time two or three snowflakes floated in and landed on her jade-white fragrant shoulders, holding a cup of fragrant tea in her hand to taste alone.
"I'm still worried that someone will make it bad, and if I can be prepared, I will be prepared. Ye Xuan took out a handful of arrows and put them on the table, and his divine soul power was repeatedly polished on it.
"It's better to put some poison on it, if you don't kill it, you can paralyze others at most. As she spoke, Medusa picked up an arrow, her lips opened lightly and she spat out Fanglan, and a layer of lilac crystals suddenly appeared on the white arrowhead. The purple sprout sprouted into a small purple snake that wrapped around Medusa's brow.
The little snake spat out the snake letter into the arrows of the arrow, smearing the venom on it.
Such a femme fatale makes people both excited and frightened, that lazy and enchanting figure, even Ye Xuan doesn't dare to look at it more, he is afraid that his mind will run wild again and do something.
"Be careful at night, call me for help if you can't. Medusa looked at Ye Xuan, who was holding the Flame Feather Bow, and told Ye Xuan that Ye Xuan had said before that if he didn't call her out, Medusa wouldn't be allowed to make a move, but if she really encountered any danger, Medusa couldn't control so much.
In the palace, Ye Xuan's life was of no value.
"Got it!"
Ye Xuan took off his eyebands to expose his purple petrified pupils, and drew his bow to aim at a fallen dead leaf in the distance.
"Whoosh!" the long arrow sped by, whipping up a gust of wind that blew away all the snow outside the house. The snow rose and a burst of snow mist blew up, and after it fell, the long arrows had already fixed the dead leaves on the tree, and the power was almost perfectly controlled, and the dead leaves were not destroyed by half an inch.
However, the poison on it had spread, and the yellow leaves turned into black powder and fell to the ground after a while, and were soon covered by heavy snow.
......
Night is falling.
When the sun sets, hundreds of colorful fireworks illuminate the sky instead of the sun's rays.
Outside the palace walls, Kyoto is extremely lively, children eat dumplings early and run out into the streets to set off fireworks, people's laughter dominates half of the sky in Kyoto, today is Chinese New Year's Eve, the last day of the year.
"Sister herring remembered to leave us dumplings, I haven't tasted the crystal shrimp filling yet. Tuoba Ran wore a very simple green moire dress, which was not luxurious, but the moire mismatch was realistic and moving, and the fabric was also very exquisite.
Tonight's banquet was supposed to be in full costume, but Tuoba Ran really couldn't get a decent dress, she never went to the household to ask for anything, most of them were tailor-made for her.
The herring fish has very skillful hands, and is the best at cooking and female red, and has been a weaver of the red sleeves of the household, and all kinds of palace clothes and costumes will be made. The herring knows that Tuoba Dye does not like luxury, so he has put some effort into the materials, using hundreds of kinds of silkworms to boil out of the colored silk, which is dyed green after being dyed by the ancient method, which is extremely close to the body and not contaminated with filth.
Tuoba Ran has been in charge of food and clothing since he didn't leave the Absolute Wing Palace, and all the food and clothing have been taken care of by her, and the princess brand is still with her, and she can report anything she lacks.
It's just that it's hard to get things with the princess brand of Tuoba dyeing, and even if you get it from the household, it's just some defective products.
Fortunately, this is the National Teacher's Mansion, and the elders of the Three Dynasties are still extremely in awe, although Tuoba Ran does not have the treatment of a princess here, but he has never been treated badly in terms of food and clothing.
"Got it, I'll leave you some more and come back early and don't run around. After Qingyu sent the two out of the palace, he sighed after looking at the two who disappeared into the palace wall, tonight, I'm afraid there will be trouble.
She didn't know much about Ye Xuan's temper, but Qingyu also knew some of what was happening in the Winter Spirit Ancient Realm. Such a prince who is crazy and doesn't even want his life, horror will not live in peace. Although Ye Xuan's temperament was extremely calm on the surface, he vaguely gave Qingyu an extremely aggressive feeling.
I can't say it, it just feels dangerous.
"Great Elven King, bless the descendants of God. ”
......
"How far is it?" On the way, Ye Xuan looked at the brightly lit hall in the distance and felt a little numb, why hasn't the time to walk for a stick of incense have arrived?
"Isn't that it?" Tuoba pointed to the brightly lit hall in the distance, and took the opportunity to lean in front of Ye Xuan a little more, hiding under the umbrella.
"Are we going to be a little late?"
"No, those princes, ministers and concubines will be present, and it will not be too late for the ladies to dress up. ”
"Then you, don't you need to dress up?" Ye Xuan suddenly said this, causing Tuoba Ran, who was walking, to suddenly stop and almost hit Ye Xuan.
"Why don't you leave?"
"Am I not good-looking?" Tuoba Ran suddenly turned around and looked at Ye Xuan with a pout.
What do you mean why don't you dress up? Isn't this princess good-looking, natural beauty, do you understand?
At this moment, a group of female dependents walked past the two of them, and they didn't know which minister's family members. One of the women is white-skinned and beautiful, with a little powder, if the white jade lips are like cinnabar, the lotus step moves lightly, the figure is long and tall, and the temperament is outstanding. A white velvet skirt depicts white edelweiss, which is beautiful.
The woman noticed Tuobaran's gaze and smiled back, and the gentle smile suddenly stunned the two of them. Especially Tuoba Ran, looking at the woman's chest and looking down at himself, he suddenly felt speechless for a while, when will he grow up, he will be sixteen years old.
After the group of female dependents walked away, Tuoba Ran was still depressed, and suddenly saw that Ye Xuan was also looking in that direction, even if he was facing in their direction with his eyes, Tuoba Ran was angry and didn't wait for Ye Xuan at all.
"Your Royal Highness, Princess, slow down. Only then did Ye Xuan come to his senses and hurriedly catch up.
"Well, if you make the little girl angry, I want to see how you coax you. Medusa's interested voice made Ye Xuan quite helpless, so she was angry?
"Plop!"
However, Ye Xuan had just taken two steps, his heart suddenly beat violently, and he was dizzy in front of him, covering his heart, and he almost didn't kneel on the ground.
"The toxicity has attacked!" Medusa quickly alerted Ye Xuan.
"Not bad, didn't hurt in particular. Ye Xuan's face turned pale and smiled, and he grabbed the paper umbrella.
"Ye Xuan, what's wrong with you!" Tuoba Ran felt that Ye Xuan was not leaving, and as soon as he turned around, he saw Ye Xuan's face pale, his hand covering his heart, his face was painful, and he hurriedly ran back like a deer.
"Don't get in the way, the previous injuries haven't healed yet. Ye Xuan prevaricated and swallowed a mouthful of saliva.
"Then let's go back, I'll go to the Imperial Doctor. ”
"I'm here, I don't want to go back, let's go, I'm fine. Ye Xuan calmly patted Tuoba Ran's shoulder, held up the umbrella and continued to move forward. If his own poison in the main hall is completely attacked, then it is just enough to shake Yang Gonggong out, and then Tuoba Ran will step forward to challenge and seize the position of the Criminal Department, and completely tear his face with Wanjia.
"Promise me to get the first place. Ye Xuan lowered his voice: "Okay?"
"You ......" Tuoba Ran didn't understand what was wrong with Ye Xuan, why was he more nervous than himself?
"Promise me. ”
The snowflakes fell on the umbrella one after another, and in the slight sound of snow falling, Tuoba Ran nodded his head heavily!
......
Outside the Qingyun Palace, rows of people in formal clothes poured into the brightly lit hall, and the scene was magnificent. Among them, there are many strong people with amazing breath, and there are hundreds of wind spirit guards standing guard outside the palace.
Most of them are dragging their families, and many of the people who come are teenagers and girls, some are famous generals, and some are talented women who are famous in the capital. The Qingyun Banquet was not only for the emperor to test the strength of the younger generation in the court, but also for them, the princes and ministers, to choose their sons-in-law or daughters-in-law.
To be able to show off his strength at the Qingyun Banquet must be an extraordinary person, which is also the biggest "blind date" activity after the autumn court test.
Under the governance of Emperor Yunze, the Fengyan Empire gradually became stronger, and changed the previous situation that even a general to fight had to be listed as a civilian. The path of cultivation has been rooted in the hearts of the younger generation since childhood, and countless talents have emerged in just a few decades.
"Princess Dye, you're here. As soon as the two of them finished walking through the long steps of the main hall, Gonggong Yang greeted them: "Princess Qing is invited." ”
"Oh, Gonggong Yang doesn't go to serve His Majesty, why does he have the leisure to come here?" Tuoba Ran sneered and looked at the fifth princess Tuoba Qing who was sitting on the opposite side. I didn't get a bargain from myself two days ago, and I plan to do it again today?
"Where is this princess, the old slave is ordered to receive all the nobles, how dare you have any leisure. Father-in-law Yang smiled inexplicably, making Ye Xuan and Tuoba Ran extremely uncomfortable.
But it doesn't matter, she also wants to see what tricks Tuoba Qing can play, Ye Xuan's soul power gushed out, glanced at Yang Gonggong and followed Tuoba Ran to Tuoba Qing's location.
"Don't be afraid, I'm here. Ye Xuan pondered silently, making Tuoba Ran smile and nodded.
The princes are sitting in the upper column, and they are closest to the emperor, but now the emperor has not yet arrived. The biological mothers of the princes are all sitting in the back seat, and Wan Guifei is also there. However, when Tuoba Ran saw Wan Guifei, he saw that Tuoba Ran's fists were clenched tightly, and he could clearly recognize the trace of coldness.
"Little sister, don't come to harm?" Tuoba Qing held a fan to cover her face and chuckled, a pair of peach blossom eyes swept over Ye Xuan behind Tuoba Ran and smiled a little weirdly.
"Thank you Fifth Sister for your concern, Xiao Dye is very good. Tuoba Ran bowed slightly: "I've seen Wan Guifei, second brother." "Tuoba Qing is Tuoba Yaoyue, the second prince of the dynasty, who has just been given the opportunity to enter the household department to study.
"I haven't seen him for a few days, but Xiao Ran is becoming more and more polite. "Behind him is a graceful and luxurious woman, with a noble temperament and outstanding appearance, even not inferior to those young girls in their youth, this person is Wan Guifei. While speaking, she didn't look up at Tuoba Ran, but concentrated on combing the hair of the cat in her arms, and didn't take Tuoba Ran in her eyes.
Originally, the princes could not enter the six ministries and had nothing to do with the government. However, after Emperor Yunze succeeded to the throne, he allowed the princes to compete for these positions.
In doing so, he did also make a lot of reductions in the so-called party struggles, the position of the prince was not established, and the princes were scrambling to make some political achievements. Even if Emperor Yunze had already stipulated that the youngest child, that is, Tuoba Ran, would succeed to the throne, that was when Princess Garan was alive.
As soon as Garland died in the night, the Garland Empire no longer had the bargaining chips to suppress the Wind Rock Empire, and people also concluded that Emperor Yunze's request for his young son to succeed to the throne at that time was just a play. Tuoba Ran has the blood of the royal family of another country, how can he be in charge of the royal power of Fengyan anymore if he is already an impure body.
Moreover, Tuoba Dye became the target of public criticism, and was suppressed very miserably, and did not do anything at all, even if Emperor Yunze did not change this regulation, the ministers and princes had already abolished it in their hearts.
The eldest prince got the military power to guard the Tianlong Pass, and when the war was severe, he went to fight with the Lei Empire. However, the eldest prince has no intention of competing for the position of prince, and not all of his henchmen are high-minded.
However, the second prince's city is very deep, and the mother's family has deep roots, and some courtiers have been secretly attracted to form a party. The movements have always been very small, and they have never been troubled, and they have not been noticed by Emperor Yunze.
"Doesn't my little sister like the banquet, why do you think about coming this time? And since you are here, why don't you dress better, this shabby is a bit embarrassing for our royal face. Tuoba Qing didn't get up when she spoke, but sat where she was, as if she was reprimanding her ignorant sister.
"The fifth sister taught a lesson. ”
"Tomorrow I'll pick out a few clothes I wore and send them to you, don't worry, they're all of the highest quality. ”
"Then Sister Lao has to worry about it, it just so happens that I want to make a winter dress for the big black dog I raised, and I will send a copy to my sister when it is done. Tuoba Ran smiled and glanced at Tuoba Qing, his emerald eyes were full of seriousness instead of mockery.
"My sister is really good at talking. Tuoba Qing twitched the corner of his eyes and tightened his fan, smiling on the surface, but in fact, his heart was already thunderous, and he had become sharp and sharp after not seeing him for a few days, and he dared to talk back to himself!
"Will the second brother also go to Qingyuntai in a while?" Tuoba Ran no longer paid attention to Tuoba Qing and looked at Tuoba Yaoyue, her brother who was already in the late stage of the psychic realm.
"Little sister also wants to try it?" Tuoba Yaoyue looked at Tuoba Ran in surprise, her brown pupils reflected gentleness, and there was a bit of elegance that was difficult to see.
"A little interested. ”
Tuoba Ran looked at Tuoba Yaoyue and smiled lightly, and the battle intent had risen in the depths of his pupils. Qingyuntai for a while, she only cared about the second brother in front of her, who seemed to be an elegant scholar, and the cold sense of oppression should not be underestimated.
"You really don't know how thick the sky is, do you dare to be so presumptuous after going out for a lap?" Tuoba Qing was still smiling, but there was a little more coldness in his smile.
"Don't dare. ”
"Don't think that if you can afford to hold the Wind God Sword, you think that you are the best in the world, why don't we make a bet. ”
"Bet on what?"
"Bet on how much pain you can suffer for a while, but I'd like to see how much perseverance there is in those who can survive the barbarian battlefield. Tuoba Qing's charming peach blossom eyes narrowed into a slit.
"Fifth Sister just doesn't believe me like that, what do you mean by how painful it is?" Tuoba Ran raised his eyebrows, looking down on me so much?
"It's nothing, you will be ruined today. ”
"Promise your good words!"
