Help!My goddess is sick

Chapter 115 Calm?

Officials of all sizes in Kyoto have this honor, they can enter the palace to have fun with the emperor, but those below the third rank can only sit outside, and those above the third rank can only sit inside the palace.

The palace is resplendent and resplendent, with the fragrance of plum blossoms, and the maids come and go with smiles on their faces.

The table is full of delicacies and fine wines, the aroma of the wine mixed with the scent of flowers is refreshing.

The officials and their families took their seats one by one, taking advantage of the absence of the emperor, they chatted from time to time, and the whole hall was buzzing with joy.

When Xie Cijiu came, she was lured to the front by the maid, and everyone looked at her curiously.

Xie Ci wine face did not change color, went straight to the seat.

Today is New Year's Eve, and I'm going to the palace banquet again, Xie Ci wine is rare to wear and it's a bit festive.

She was wearing the auspicious clothes of the princess and the colorful phoenix crown on her head, which was elegant and noble.

In addition, she doesn't smile or speak, and she doesn't get angry and pretentious, no one dares to come forward to chat.

She also had fun.

But someone kept pinching her hand, which made her a little upset.

She stared blankly at the people around her.

Yan Zhi smiled back, no one could see him anyway.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is here - King Ming is here - King Yi is here -"

The eunuch sang, and there was no sound in the hall for an instant. Qi Shushu got up and turned to look in the direction of the door.

Xie Cijiu also stood up.

The crown prince was at the head, followed by King Ming and King Yi, one left and one right, and the three of them walked in pompously.

"I've seen His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, I've seen King Ming, and King Yi!"

The officials kowtowed, the prince raised his hand and said, "Excuse me."

The three of them sat down one by one, and they all looked at Xie Cijiu opposite.

Xie Cijiu nodded at them, and his eyes fell on King Yi.

She is more or less familiar with the prince and the third prince. It is the first time she has seen this King Yi...that is, the fifth prince, and she hardly hears about it. Today, she saw a real person.

She looks a little sick, not obvious alone, but sitting next to the prince and King Ming, she is immediately dimmed, weak and pale.

Good prince, how did you become like this?Is it not welcomed by the emperor?

Xie Cijiu frowned slightly.

As if aware of her gaze, King Yi turned his head to look over, met Xie Cijiu's gaze, froze for a moment, and then smiled gently.

This smile has the temperament of a gentle gentleman, and he looks like a good-tempered one.

Xie Cijiu also smiled, and politely looked away.

King Yi coughed softly, King Ming heard the sound and looked at him: "I heard that my fifth younger brother caught a cold for a long time and couldn't afford to be sick for a long time, but he's better today?"

King Yi's face flushed abnormally, and he was a little short of breath when he spoke: "Okay...cough cough, it's better, it's just an old problem, thank you third brother for remembering."

King Ming twitched the corners of his lips, "Don't underestimate old problems, let the imperial doctor take a look at it tomorrow, and then prescribe some medicine for you, and find a way to recuperate it."

"Ah."

King Yi looked at him gratefully and nodded.

The prince narrowed his eyes slightly, when did the third brother care so much about the fifth brother?
Could it be because of the kingship?The fifth younger brother is crowned king and has a certain amount of power in his hands. He wants to win over the fifth younger brother?
The more the prince thought about it, the more he felt that it was the case, and he couldn't help shaking his head: "The old problem needs to be taken care of carefully, there are still a few old ginseng plants over there, and they will be sent to your house after the dinner."

"It's too precious, how can I accept the reward for nothing?"

King Yi was flattered.

Prince: "I'll take it if I give it to you. Your health is not good, so Gu and Father are worried."

"That minister is disrespectful, thank you, brother prince."

King Ming rolled his eyes without a trace.

He picked up the wine cup on the table, took a sip, and then put it down heavily. There was a "beep", neither big nor small, but it was enough for the nearby prince to hear.

The prince raised his eyes to look at him, and King Ming said with a half-smile: "The prince is really looking like a big brother."

The prince chuckled lightly: "It's the same for King Ming, as expected of someone who wants to start a family, he is indeed more stable."

It’s okay if you don’t say this, it’s okay to say it, and it’s the lungs of King Ming. The emperor bestowed the marriage, but he gave the prince a marriage to the British princess, but he is only the earl’s daughter, which is bad one head.

Although judging from the status and status of himself and the prince, this is considered a match, but he is not happy.

What he hates the most is that the crown prince sits in the position he wants most.

Immediately, his face turned cold, he glanced at the crown prince, leaned closer and whispered: "Brother emperor, speaking of which, your marriage is also very good. Although you didn't marry Princess Yongning, the lady of the British government is also good, but I don't know -"

His eyes slipped to Xie Cijiu, and he said meaningfully: "Whose eaves will this golden flower fall on?"

The hands under the prince's wide sleeves were clenched, almost unable to maintain his expression.

He took a deep breath, and his eyes were like knives piercing Ming Wang's body: "Gu persuade Ming Wang to be careful, and damage the reputation of the princess, see if the father will let you go."

King Ming: "..."

He twitched the corners of his mouth embarrassingly, and sat up straight with a soft grunt.

No one was left behind in this trial.

The undercurrent between the two was turbulent, and anyone with long eyes could see it, so the people next to them didn't dare to show their anger.

King Yi stared at the two of them for a while, then lowered his head timidly.

"The emperor is here - the empress is here - the concubine is here -"

The arrival of the three of them broke the silence in the hall, and everyone got up to salute one after another. The emperor sat down with a smile and said, "Excuse me, all honorable beings."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

"Today is New Year's Eve, you don't have to put on the airs of the emperor and ministers, relax and eat, let go of drinking, and let the emperor and ministers have fun together."

The emperor raised the wine cup with a smile, and everyone immediately agreed, Xie Cijiu looked at the wine cup in front of him, and hesitated for a moment.

Yan Zhihui whispered in her ear: "It's not poisonous, don't worry."

Only then did Xie Cijiu pick up the wine cup, and with the movement of drinking, the emperor glanced at Xie Cijiu from the corner of his eye, and his eyes suddenly became darker.

After drinking a glass of wine, the atmosphere in the hall warmed up.

The emperor and the empress said some auspicious words in turn, and they invited dancers to perform dances.

During the period, everyone toasted several times, and it seemed that they were having a good time.

But Xie Cijiu never dared to relax his vigilance, always afraid that something would happen today, but unexpectedly, until the end of the banquet, nothing happened, and the sea was very calm.

However, this did not make her relax, and the premonition of uneasiness became more and more intense.

……

"Princess, it's snowing outside, why don't you pass on a sedan chair?"

When Xie Cijiu came out, Ji Yuan saw her at a glance, walked up to her and said with a smile.

Xie Cijiu had a thought: "No need, I'll go by myself, just give me an umbrella."

"Okay, princess wait a moment." Ji Yuan waved his hand at the little eunuch beside him, and the little eunuch immediately went to fetch the umbrella, and trotted back after a while, "Princess, here it is."

"Thank you."

Xie Cijiu opened the oil-paper umbrella and walked straight into the wind and snow.

However, after walking to a rockery, she suddenly heard a violent cough.
