Concubine comes to disaster

"Mother... I'm so worried about you..." Qi Luo hugged Tassel tightly, and finally let go of her little tight heart.

"Silly boy, mother is fine, it's fine, don't worry..." Liusu gently kissed Xiaoqiluo's forehead, then held her tightly in her arms, patted her little head, and tears flowed down her cheeks. Cheeks flowed down.

In the past years, they cuddled each other and never let go of each other, nor will they let go in the future.

When the two mother and daughter were crying together, the elegant figure of Emperor Zhuyao appeared at the gate of Donghua Hall. Speak, and people have surrendered.

After the assassination happened, Leng Mei brought Qi Luo to Donghua Hall to wait, and then suppressed the matter according to Emperor Zhuyao's order, so as to prevent everyone from using this matter as talk and exaggerating, so that the mother and daughter of Qi Luo is unfavorable.

Just as the servants were about to kneel down, he waved his hand, and they retreated.

Seeing him, Liusu hurriedly wiped away the tears on his face, held Xiao Qiluo's hand and stood up, "His Royal Highness..."

"Your Highness..." Xiao Qiluo also cried out with sobs.

"Are both of you crying?" he asked.

Hearing this, Liusu felt a little embarrassed, being seen by him...

"I love to cry, so mother loves to cry; I don't like to cry, and neither does mother. If mother loves to cry, I love to cry. If mother doesn't like to cry, I don't like to cry either." Xiao Qiluo's eyes were still shining. Tears, saw that her mother was not good at answering the prince's question, so she took the conversation and said.

These words are round and full, and they are very affectionate. Who wouldn't like such a caring and sensible little guy.

Emperor Zhuyao's heart softened at this moment, "Hehe..." He couldn't help laughing after hearing her childlike words, took the silk handkerchief from Lengmei's hand, bent down and wiped the tears from Qiluo's face Wipe one off until it is clean, "Then, our Princess Qiluo will cry less in the future, so your mother will cry less too."

"En." Qi Luo nodded solemnly.

Only then did Emperor Zhu Yao straighten up, and took the handkerchief with a cold face.

He looked at Liusu and took a deep look. Lihua's delicate face with tears, her eyes with watery eyes, strong and brave personality, he could not help but be attracted to her.

"Scared?" he asked.

"Don't be afraid. Those people don't seem to have any ill intentions towards me. Besides, I always feel that someone will come to save me. I didn't expect Fourth Master and Thirteenth Master to come at the same time."

"Well, the fourth brother and the thirteenth brother have already reported to the father, and you can go to the palace banquet in a while."

Because Emperor Zhuyao didn't mention it to anyone, no one except Lengmei knew that he went to Yunpo Pass to repel Hua Wuque, and neither did Zhu Minglie and Zhuye Tong.

Tassel, of course, didn't know at all.

"Yes, I... I see."

The two suddenly looked at each other speechlessly.

"Your Highness, the fourth master is here." Zhu Yaohuang's personal bodyguard Xiao Bao came over and reported.

"Let him in." Zhu Yaohuang said, and after a while, Zhu Minglie's tall and stern figure appeared. Seeing Zhu Yaohuang, he bowed forward and knelt down on one knee to greet him——

"The fourth brother has met the eldest brother, and the fourth brother came here specially to thank him, and thank the elder brother for taking care of Liusu mother and daughter."

"It's okay, get up."

"Yes." Zhu Minglie stood up, glanced at Liusu, and found that there were still tears on her face, so he took out the veil from Qiluo from her bosom, handed the veil to Liusu, and said, "Brother How can you lose your composure in front of you, wipe your face, the banquet is about to begin."

Zhu Minglie's tone was soft and his movements were considerate. Liusu held the handkerchief in a daze and suddenly felt at a loss. He... what happened to him?The tone of the speech was suddenly so weird.Emperor Zhuyao looked at the rough embroidered handkerchief in Liusu's hand, and the sudden tenderness of the fourth child, and remained calm.

"Brother, let the fourth child leave first, and the father is waiting there." Zhu Minglie watched Tassel wipe his face clean before turning around and asking Emperor Zhu Yao for instructions.

"Go, but today's matter must be investigated to the end. Such incidents in the Sunyao Dynasty are related to the people's living and working and the stability of the court. We must not tolerate those who plot evil."

"Yes, the fourth brother obeys the order. After the palace banquet, the fourth brother will start investigating the matter and report it to the elder brother in detail."

"Okay, you guys go." Emperor Zhu Yao raised his hand.

"Fourth, leave!" Saying that, Zhu Minglie and Liusu left Donghua Hall together.

Emperor Zhu Yao kept looking at their backs until they disappeared, then turned and walked back into the hall.

*

The banquet is grand in scale, complicated in program, delicious in food, exquisite in dishes and various in variety, amounting to more than 300 kinds.

The court ladies and eunuchs shuttled among them, and there were palace dancers dancing in the center of the hall, which was lively and orderly.

Emperor Zhuyue was majestically sitting on the dragon chair, and Queen Yueyue, dressed in a luxurious phoenix robe, sat beside him, holding hands.

Civil and military officials, princes and nobles, relatives of the emperor and relatives of the country all gathered together to celebrate Princess Qiluo's recognition of his ancestors.

"The fourth prince is here, Princess Qiluo is here..." the eunuch shouted, and the audience fell silent. Everyone looked at the entrance, only to see the bright yellow robes of the prince, condensed like ice. Lie and Liusu appeared together holding Qiluo's hand.

Surrounded by all the servants, the three of them walked towards Emperor Zhuyue, walked all the way to his seat, and bowed together...

"My son kowtowed to my father, long live my father, long live my father."

"Qi Luo kowtows to Grandpa Huang, long live long live Grandpa Huang."

"Tassel kowtows to the emperor, long live the emperor, long live the emperor."

Emperor Zhuyue glanced at the three of them majesticly, and said, "From today, Zhuqiluo will be the eighth princess of the Sunyao Dynasty. Get up and take your seats."

"Thank you, Father Huang (Grandpa Huang)/(Your Majesty)."

So, the three of them sat down, with Zhu Minglie sitting in the middle on the right side of Xiashou, Qi Luo sitting next to him, and Liusu sitting on the left side of Xiashou, obliquely opposite Zhu Minglie.

Wine, meat, fruit, and various palace delicacies are placed on everyone's table.

As soon as Emperor Zhuyue raised his hand, Li Dequan stood beside the emperor and announced loudly—"The banquet begins now!"

"Huh? Why didn't the crown prince come? He is trying to protect Princess Qiluo's mother and daughter." About half an hour after the banquet started, the queen looked around and found that everyone had arrived, but Zhuyao was nowhere to be seen. asked.

"Returning to your mother, the flood disaster in the south of the Yangtze River has worsened, and the local officials are not good at doing things. His Royal Highness is furious. He vowed to personally supervise the flood problem, so he dismissed all those incompetent officials and investigated them! After asking the emperor for instructions, he went on a tour half an hour ago. Jiangnan. There is no exact time when I will come back." Li Dequan, the chief eunuch, stepped forward and said in detail to the queen.

"I see." The Queen nodded.

"Hehe, Your Majesty, you see, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is diligent in government and loves the people. He must be a wise king in the future. Empress Xiaode went early, but the Crown Prince is up to the challenge. Sister Xiaode should feel relieved that she is in the spirit of heaven." Sitting on the right side of Emperor Zhuyue Concubine Hui smiled and said, Concubine Hui has been favored by Emperor Zhuyue recently, and Emperor Zhuyue mostly stays in Concubine Hui's palace. Concubine Hui is the biological mother of Prince Zhuyao and the cousin of Empress Xiaode who has passed away.

After hearing this, the empress felt a little displeasure in her heart. She smiled and said to Concubine Hui, "The crown prince is good, but unfortunately, he is not your own son. Didn't you hesitate to use Sister Xiaode when you entered the palace? She is your cousin."

"You!" After hearing this, Concubine Hui's face turned pale, her jade hands trembled, and she looked weak and about to faint.

"Is what I said wrong? I don't know if sister Hui will think of the deceased Empress Xiaode when she dreams back at midnight."

"Empress, please don't bully me too much..."

The Moon Emperor who sat in the middle turned a blind eye to the war between the two women. He was used to this kind of thing. If it was not very serious, he never said much, so let them go.

It's just that for some reason, when he saw the tassel eyes under his seat, he inexplicably thought of another woman. She was the only one who never seemed to fight or fight, and was extremely indifferent. It's a pity...she let him down...

"Your Majesty, our Shisan is also concerned about the people of the world. You should give Shisan more opportunities to do more work for the court and the people." On this side, the empress led the conversation to sit there On Hitomi Osuno, who was drinking alone.

"Haha, what the two beloved concubines said is very true. The crown prince is my left arm, and the little thirteen is my right arm." Emperor Zhuyue replied.

"Hehe, what the emperor said is very true..."

Hearing these conversations, Zhu Minglie sneered in his heart, one is the left arm and the other is the right arm, only him, nothing? !He picked up the wine glass and poured the wine into his stomach vigorously. The other hand holding the wine jug secretly exerted force. He looked calm on the surface, but the veined fist in his sleeve already showed that he was heart.

"Father, what's the matter with you?" Xiao Qiluo noticed Zhu Minglie's unhappiness, raised her small face, and asked.

Zhu Minglie suppressed the fluctuating feelings in her heart, bent down and hugged Qiluo in her arms, and said, "Father is fine."

"Father, I will love you." Xiao Qiluo suddenly stretched out her small hand, touched Zhu Minglie's resolute face due to the situation, and said softly, her big eyes were full of water vapor.

"Qiluo..." His heart skipped a beat.

love him?Someone loves him?

Liusu also heard the conversation between the emperor and the empress, and she also felt the unhappiness of Zhu Minglie. Looking at his condensed eyes, she suddenly felt heartbroken for him. Talk, but so far, he still hasn't received the reuse he deserves!

On the contrary, those two, three, six, and nine princes with mediocre qualifications have been reused much more than him!She suddenly thought of a sentence: the heart is higher than the sky, and the life is thinner than the paper.Zhu Minglie is the darling of heaven, but he is the emperor's outcast.

"Your majesty, the fourth child is not bad." In the group of concubines, someone suddenly said such a sentence.

Immediately, the atmosphere around Zhuyuehuang quickly cooled down, his expression froze on his face, and with a snap, the wine glass in his hand was placed heavily on the table. The concubine who was careful to say the wrong thing quickly fell to the ground——

"The concubine is guilty, and the concubine is convicted... Please the emperor make amends!"

"Get up." Just when everyone thought that the Moon Emperor would be furious, he sighed slightly and said.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." The talkative concubine backed away in fear.

Perhaps because today is a day of great joy, Emperor Zhuyue did not pursue this matter any further.

The queen smiled coldly, the emperor still can't forget Ruan Jinse, it seems that the deeper the love, the deeper the hate, the deeper the hate, the deeper the love.
