Lord, my wife was kidnapped by a Taoist priest

Chapter 151 An Excuse Is a Reason for Rejection

At the palace banquet, Xi Lixiang sat on the left side of the lower head.And behind him stood the well-behaved Xi Lixin.It seems that the identity of Xi Lixin's entourage this time is not the Second Highness of Xilin Kingdom.

In this way, it looks like a follower.

The key is that he hasn't put on any disguise yet, the unique sign of the one-eyed dragon, even if people want to ignore him.

All the affairs in the harem are handled by Concubine Luo.The dinner tonight is the same, it is all arranged by Luo Fei.

Xuanyuan Cheng looked at the rich dishes and splendid decoration, and was very satisfied with Xian Luo's arrangement.

In front of other countries, there is no shame.

Xian Luo is still a concubine now, but sitting beside Xuanyuan Cheng, it is comparable to the honor of an empress.

There are a few lotus lanterns on the roof of the hall, filling the room with festiveness and warmth.

"This hall is here to bother the emperor and cause trouble for the emperor." Xi Lixiang picked up the wine glass on the low table, looked at the clear wine in the emerald wine glass, and smiled.

Xuanyuan Sheng also picked up his golden wine glass and accepted Xi Lixiang's toast. "Hahaha, what is the temple talking about? Dongbin has a vast land and abundant resources. The scenery is beautiful, and the people are very lively. Since the temple is here, I will let the Ministry of Rites make arrangements to take the temple around. Also, Gu The people of the temple have already been sent to the post house."

Faced with Xuanyuan Cheng's mother-in-law boasting about selling melons, Xi Lixiang also laughed, and did not refuse Xuanyuan Cheng to put people around him.

"The emperor is so generous to this hall, the small gift from this hall seems stingy. Come here, present the gift."

Xi Lixin was now dressed as an attendant, took the tray from the servants, and walked to the center of the hall.

Lifting his head, he first looked at Xian Luo with a charming smile, and then looked at Xuanyuan Cheng.He raised his hands high and lowered his eyes without saying a word.

Xuanyuan Cheng raised his chin slightly, and had his servant go to receive the gift.

"Emperor, why don't you open it and see if it suits you?" Xi Lixiang watched Dongbin's servant about to put the gift aside and reminded in time.

Xuanyuan Cheng understood that it seemed that the things inside must be rare and precious.Or, something he had never seen before.

The other party wanted to surprise him and lose his composure.

"Yes, yes, please open it and have a look." Xuanyuan Cheng put on a particularly interested look, and urged the servant.

The servant carefully removed the covered box, and immediately the hall was illuminated by light green light.

What I saw in the box was a hemispherical green fluorescent stone.It's not like a luminous pearl, but it's brighter than a luminous pearl.

Xuanyuan Cheng had never seen this thing before, so he stood up and took a closer look.

"This thing is rather strange. How did you get the temple?" Xuanyuan Cheng fell in love with it immediately after seeing it.But he stood still and didn't touch it with his hands.

Xi Lixiang smiled softly and shook his head. "Dijun, it's really inconvenient to disclose where this thing came from. But this thing is hard and the quantity is very small. It took a lot of effort to polish a stone into a hemispherical shape. As long as Dijun likes it, it's all for me. A lot of thought."

Xuanyuan Cheng stood beside the hemispherical stone, feeling the coolness coming from the stone.

"Thanks to the temple, this thing is really miraculous. It's still a bit cold. If it's midsummer, it must be very cool." He said, reaching out to touch the green fluorescent stone.

Just when Xuanyuan Cheng was about to touch the stone, Xi Lixiang suddenly shouted: "No way! The emperor should not move."

This voice startled Xuanyuan Cheng.

Hands retracted into sleeves, clenched into fists.

This Xi Lixiang was definitely intentional.

hateful.

"Emperor, don't touch it with your hands, it will frostbite your hands." Xi Lixiang smiled slightly, without losing any etiquette.

Xuanyuan Cheng laughed indifferently, and returned to his supreme position.

Concubine Luo leaned over to refill Xuanyuan Cheng's wine at the right time, and said with a smile: "The concubine also wants to go and see, Dijun"

Xuanyuan Cheng had just been frightened and felt that he had lost face, but now Xian Luo wanted to ask to see it.It seems that the people in Dongbin don't have much knowledge.

Xuanyuan Cheng didn't speak, but gave Xian Luo a worried look.Then he picked up the wine glass and thanked Xi Lixiang again for the gift.

After drinking for three rounds, the dancer withdrew, and it was only then that Xi Lixiang revealed his real purpose for coming to Dongbin.

"Emperor, to be honest. The main purpose of coming here is to appreciate the scenery of Dongbin, and secondly, to invite the emperor in person." After speaking, he stood up and walked to the center of the hall to cup his hands.

"This hall is favored by the father and emperor, and will be enthroned as emperor in one month. I would like to invite the emperor of Dongbin to honor me, and I can go to Xilin to attend the enthronement ceremony of this hall. I don't know, will the emperor be willing to honor me?"

Xuanyuan Cheng hesitated for a moment, but did not reply immediately.After all, the relationship between Dong Bin and Xi Lin is so delicate.His Majesty Xi Lin came to invite him, whether it was a Hongmen Banquet or something else, it was hard to say.

Just when Xuanyuan Cheng was not thinking about what to say, Yi Ling walked in from the entrance of the hall.

First, he paid respects to the emperor with due courtesy, and then he looked at Xi Lixiang.

"Dongbin Temple, I'm late." Although Yi Ling said that he was late, he didn't show any apologies.It seems to be like, the moon is really round today, a similar feeling.

Xi Lixiang turned around and bowed to Yi Ling, and said lightly: "Master Fuzheng has a lot of things to do every day, and it is already a great honor to meet him."

Xilixiang was rescued by Yiling from Xilixin's mansion, and the two of them were pouring salt on his wound in front of Xilixin.

Sure enough, Xi Lixin stood aside, his face livid.

But if Yiling helps Xi Lixiang again, it's impossible for him to be with Xi Lixiang.The two countries are in conflict, even if Xi Lixiang signed a letter of guarantee in private.But Yiling wouldn't really feel relieved about this either.

Just like now, Yiling doesn't know what the newly in power Xi Lixiang is thinking.

"I am afraid that the emperor will not be able to attend the enthronement ceremony of the holy hall next month. I will get married next month, a marriage bestowed by the emperor himself, and I want to drink the wedding wine of my ministers. In this year, it is best to get married on the day of next month." Okay. By the way, it’s not just this one thing. Dijun’s palace has been repaired, and on such a good day next month, Dijun naturally wants to make it auspicious and stay in for a while to recuperate.” It’s rare for Yi Ling to say so much , but no matter how much, these are small things.

It is a trivial matter for the new emperor of Xilin Kingdom to ascend the throne, and it is also a trivial matter for the diplomatic relations between the two countries.

However, these words are to let Xi Lixiang understand that it is impossible for the emperor of Dongbin to attend the enthronement ceremony of the emperor of Xilin Kingdom.

"Your Excellency Assistant is right, but" Xi Lixiang took two steps closer, although the voice was enough for the people in the hall to hear clearly, but it was also low enough.

"Your Excellency Assistant, the contract between the two countries will have a better effect after adding the emperor's seal."

Xi Lixin listened with pricked ears, and his eyes lit up at this moment.He just said, there must be something shady about his elder brother and Yi Ling.

Sure enough, the contract was written in private.

At the beginning, Xi Lixiang was able to win Xili Xin only because he was the first to win the big butcher.Xi Lixin's life is under the control of the master, how could he not be obedient.

But he can't be reconciled.

Yi Ling ignored Xi Lixiang's words just now, and continued to say to Xuanyuan Cheng: "Emperor, I have an orchard, and the fruits will ripen next month. Why don't you go to the orchard to pick the fun?"

"Very good."
