Chapter 138 Undercurrent
When the two were competing with each other not to be outdone, a eunuch shook his whisk and stood at the door and shouted loudly: "The emperor and empress have arrived—"

Everyone got up and knelt down to pay respects in unison.

After sitting down again, Shen Qingyi took the opportunity of holding the cup to secretly look at the empress who was sitting on top.

Emperor Suiyuan still looked as usual, no different from the last time he was at the palace banquet, he was still the awe-inspiring and aloof emperor.

However, Empress Mingyao who was beside him was much haggard, but in less than two months, she had lost a lot of weight. The face that was originally full moon was no longer rich, but thinned into an oval shape.

Shen Qingyi raised her eyebrows.

One didn't need to think about it to know that it was because of Meng Yi's death.

Although Meng Yi is not a good thing, but no matter how you say it, he is Empress Mingyao's most beloved younger brother. They say that the eldest sister is like a mother, not to mention that Empress Mingyao has only one prince under her knees, and she treats Meng Yi like a son since childhood. Otherwise, he would not be so arrogant that he dared to insult the son of a hero, King Linjiang, in full view.

In just two months, Empress Mingyao lost a little nephew and younger brother, and they were all at the hands of the Liu family. It is estimated that Empress Mingyao saw Liu Muzhi who came to the banquet because she felt that her teeth were itching with hatred. I wish I could get rid of him immediately.

This kid Liu Muzhi looks like he has nothing to do with himself, but he doesn't know what kind of monsters the Liu family is. Now that his brothers and sisters have been killed, he still has the heart to fight for the Xuanwu Mountain incident.

Shen Qingyi couldn't help but secretly sighed, and by the way cast a disgusted glance at Shen Jingnian beside her.

Although Liu Muzhi did have unexpected ideas, but the only one was betraying his relatives to protect himself. I really don't know how Shen Jingnian could fall into the hands of such clumsy people like Liu Muzhi in his dream.

Her eyes wandered aside again, and her eyes fell on Zhao Xian, King Liang, Zhao Xu, King Shu, and Prince Zhao Hu.

Zhao Xian had just been released from the confinement, and his face was still a little pale, which shows that these days are really not good.

After all, he is his own son. Although he is stupid and dandy, and he is caught in the turmoil of instigate Liu family boss Mu Ying to kill Meng Chi, but after all, there is no threat to the throne, and the mother and concubine's family is not prominent. Now that the Liu family also lost two juniors, they were naturally released.

But Zhao Xu and Zhao Hu, brothers who were at odds because of the throne, were exceptionally peaceful at the moment, talking and laughing, drinking and talking happily.

Although Empress Mingyao has a deep affection for Emperor Suiyuan and his wife, Concubine Su has two sons and a daughter under her knees. The two women fought endlessly in the harem, and the two sons also secretly formed their own party members in the court. It's a fight to the death, but on the surface, the two are in harmony, and they are brothers and sisters written on their faces.

But in terms of scheming alone, the King of Shu is insidious. Although the Prince is vicious, he is not scheming enough. In terms of ability, the Prince is no match for the King of Shu. It is no wonder that the Liu family wants to betray the King of Shu and join the Prince. In terms of when the bomb will explode, it is obviously better for a idiot with a bad temper like the Prince.

Shen Qingyi's eyes moved slightly, and his eyes fell on Chu Zhengyue who was opposite him.

But no matter who is the one who inherits the world on the surface, the real master will always be the future king regent.

The more Chu Zheng noticed the look in her eyes, he looked back from afar. Shen Qingyi toasted from a distance, and he smiled back, his brows and eyes full of tenderness.

Chu Zhengyue is the eldest son of a king with a different surname, so the position is naturally among several princes, and Shen Qingyi's toast fell in the eyes of the prince, as if he was toasting to Zhao Xian again.

The prince naturally has his own eyeliner outside the palace. He has heard about Zhao Xian and Meng Yi's love affair outside the palace, and he also has something about the fact that Meng Yi encouraged Zhao Xian to be quite interested in Shen Qingyi. aware.

Therefore, he twitched the corners of his mouth invisibly, and suddenly raised his glass to Zhao Xian, and said with a smile: "The second younger brother is really a blessing, the eldest brother has heard that Shen Sanniang is a leader in Beijing for her beauty, and the girls present are also very happy." Only the girl from the Yuan family can compare with her. When she saw her today, she seemed to fall in love with her second brother.

"Miss Shen has not yet been engaged, and she has made a great contribution. Why don't my second brother add joy to the occasion today, and ask the emperor to grant an imperial decree, how about setting this marriage?"

Zhao Xian didn't say anything, just smiled awkwardly.

Disdain flashed in the eyes of the king of Shu beside him.

No matter how stupid Zhao Xian is, he also knows that he has just been released, and because of Liang Wangyin's matter, the seed of suspicion has been planted in Emperor Suiyuan's heart. Now is the time to keep a low profile. If he is really as the prince said, Wouldn't it be tantamount to telling Emperor Suiyuan publicly that he coveted the throne by asking to marry Shen Qingyi?

No matter how stupid Zhao Xian was, he would never be so stupid as to do such mindless things.

The war between the three brothers had just come to an end, and the food was already served there.

The meals in front of the two brothers and sisters Shen Qingyi were extraordinarily sumptuous, and from a glance they were all their favorite food, it could be seen that they put a lot of thought into entertaining them.

However, the two brothers and sisters looked at each other, and they both saw a trace of gloom in each other's eyes.

Being able to know exactly what the two of them like to eat, it can be seen how Shen Yinian got out of trouble, even Emperor Suiyuan is not ignorant.

Shen Qingyi gripped the chopsticks tightly.

Emperor Suiyuan really is still the same as in his previous life, nothing can escape his eyes.

Today's banquet, called reward, is probably a silent test.

If you pass this test, everyone will be happy.

But if it was not passed, and Emperor Suiyuan became suspicious...

Sweat dripped from her palms, but her face was still calm, she just ate the food in front of her calmly.

The beauties in the palace are like flowers, and the dancers are not ordinary or comparable. The hearts of everyone who danced with water sleeves and bee waists melted. After such a great achievement, I don't know what kind of reward I will get.

Shen Qingyi noticed the eyes of the crowd but still acted as if nothing had happened. She joked with the close friends beside her. The smile was completely the same as that delicate and innocent girl. Can't detect any abnormalities.

It's just a song and dance, after drinking for three rounds, the atmosphere on the stage is harmonious, everyone is happy to sing poems, and Emperor Suiyuan waved his hand, and all the dancers retreated. Seeing this, Shen Qingyi and Shen Jingnian knew what Emperor Suiyuan said next It must be inseparable from their brothers and sisters, so they unconsciously added three points of tension.

Sure enough, Emperor Suiyuan looked at the two siblings with a smile and opened his mouth——
