Rebirth: Hug Chu Guogong's Thigh Tightly

Chapter 160 The Death of Cheng Huang

In a blink of an eye, it is His Majesty's birthday in the palace, which is also the legendary "Longevity Festival".

This grand ceremony was celebrated both inside and outside the court, and the Forbidden City lost its former majesty, creating a scene of joy.

Xia Keyu and Bai Xiaoxiao went to the palace early in the morning to have an audience.Both of them put on formal auspicious clothes, embroidered Yunxia Zhai pattern for Xiapei, and wore court crowns on their heads.

It's just that Bai Xiaoxiao is the princess, and this Xiapei is specially embroidered with gold thread, which is beyond words.Xia Keyu uses ordinary thread.

Princess Bai made a rare appearance and saw the two of them dressed in the same rich and noble style. She smiled lovingly and said, "They look like twins."

Bai Xiaoxiao was a little more naughty in front of her mother. She took Xia Keyu's arm and said deliberately: "Keyu is my biological sister~"

Xia Keyu just smiled and said nothing.

Today is the Longevity Festival, and the sound of orchestral music in the palace is endless.The concubines in each palace were all smeared with makeup, competing for beauty, and tried their best.

After all, for many concubines in the harem, this may be their only chance to see the emperor.

The emperor appeared with the empress and the imperial concubine. His face showed no sign of being angry at the fifth princess before, and he looked majestic.

It's just that although Concubine Ning has a bright face as usual, her expression is no longer as carefree as before.Inadvertently, a bit of bitterness and sadness will appear.

At the beginning of the banquet, the musicians first imitated the chirping of hundreds of birds, and then the Right Prime Minister Jiang Chengxiang went to the palace on behalf of the ministers and held a glass of wine to wish the emperor a long life.

Although today's Prime Minister Jiang said that his daughter did not become the Crown Princess, he was indebted to the Crown Prince, so he always stood firmly on the Crown Prince's side in the court.

After the prince's formal wedding, which would take a year and a half, he could quietly get his daughter Jiang Shuya married.

Today, the crown prince attended the ceremony together with his concubine Ye Yitang and concubines Shen Qinghuan and Chu Qi.

When Ye Yitang saw Xia Keyu, he nodded generously across the banquet table to express greetings.Xia Keyu also nodded slightly and returned the greeting.

On the contrary, Shen Qinghuan looked depressed and coyly refused to look at Xia Keyu.

Xia Keyu didn't care, the protagonist today was not her.

Then several princes and princes presented gifts to His Majesty, all of which were a dazzling array of peerless treasures.

Chu Yuan was also among them. The Duke of Chu's house presented a vase of good fortune, wealth and longevity, which was a decent gift.

Even so, the emperor also showed great joy, but it was unclear how much of this joy was sincere.

When Chu Yuan turned around, he couldn't help but glance at Xia Keyu quietly, and saw her with curved eyebrows and eyes, sitting there, looking outstanding and gorgeous among all the noble ladies.

But he has a little more spiritual energy than everyone else, and he is even more happy.

After looking at everyone's gifts, the third prince's face was calm, but his heart couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.

The gifts from these princes and ministers are so sparse and ordinary. It seems that the auspicious beast Chenghuang he presented to his father today will surely come out on top and win his father's favor.

In the palace now, the auspicious beast that the third prince wanted to present was imprisoned in a cage. The cage was also covered with a layer of black cloth, making it impossible for anyone to know what was going on inside.

A little eunuch was sitting on the ground bored. He was responsible for guarding this mysterious auspicious beast. He had to lift the black cloth from time to time and feed the things inside with some water.

There were bells and drums ringing outside, people were shouting, and laughter was everywhere, but he could only hide here in boredom.

I heard that today, the Wanshou Festival, the emperor will give rewards to the eunuchs and maids in each palace. I wonder how much he can get.

A few days ago, he took advantage of the night to gamble a few times, hoping to make some money, but unexpectedly he lost a lot of money.If I could spare some money and find a connection to work as an errand in the imperial kitchen, I would definitely have some delicious food today.

Just as he was thinking about it, someone suddenly patted him on the shoulder and said happily: "Xiao Xizi, is it you?" The little eunuch quickly got up and looked at this person who seemed familiar, but for a moment he remembered who this person was. , and he couldn't remember it.

"It's me, Xiao Fuzi." The other party announced his family background.

Shuangxi suddenly realized that the person in front of him was his fellow villager, Xiao Fuzi, who was an errand in the palace.It's just that Xiao Fuzi seems to be much taller, stronger and stronger than before.

The two came from the same place and entered the palace together.It's just that the two of them have never met each other since they entered the palace and were assigned to different palaces.

"Hey, it's you, Xiao Fuzi?!"

Shuangxi was surprised and happy to see the two of them.He hurriedly asked: "Why have you grown so tall? You are so tall that I can hardly recognize you."

Xiao Fuzi just excused himself by saying that he had grown taller, and then changed the subject and asked: "My little brother, in which palace is he making a fortune now? He doesn't come to see your brother or me either."

Mentioning this, Shuangxi shook his head helplessly and said:
"I have no money, and no one from above can help me. So I was transferred to the extremely remote and desolate place in the Shepherd Supervisory to be responsible for raising horses."

As he said that, he showed the big cage to Dao Xiaofuzi and said, "Look, the matter of feeding the animals belongs to me. In order to feed the animals, I don't even dare to go to the toilet."

Xiao Fuzi heard the sound and said with a smile: "Then go quickly, your brother is here to watch over you, don't worry."

Shuangxi heard the sound and looked at the cage a little confused, but Naihe couldn't hold it in any longer, so he had to say thanks:
"My good brother, I'll leave it to you. I'll come back as soon as I go."

Having said that, he actually wanted to go out and see more of the excitement.

After the little eunuch Shuangxi left, the man saw no one around, took out a white powder from his arms, dissolved it in the water, opened the black cloth, and looked at the things in the cage.

In the cage was a pale yellow fox-like monster with a pair of timid little eyes full of fear.But the strange thing is that there are iron horns on the back of this thing, which looks a bit nondescript.

The man smiled slightly, opened the mouth of Cheng Huang through the cage, and drank the medicine.

He thought to himself, don't blame me. If you want to blame, blame the person who captured you.

At the same time, he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. Thanks to this double happiness, he was on the road today, otherwise he would not have been able to take action, and maybe another life would have been lost.

Chenghuang was drugged, and he slowly lost his balance, slumped to the ground, and closed his eyes.

After doing all this, the man lifted the human skin mask off his face, took off his eunuch uniform, rolled it up under his arm, and strode out.

The clothes are obviously the uniforms of the palace guards.The little eunuch clothes and the human skin mask were also stuffed into a deserted corner by him.

After Shuangxi went to the toilet, he thought someone would watch over him, so he sneaked out to play for a while.Seeing that time was running out, he hurriedly walked back.

Shuangxi was startled when he saw no one in the house. In a blink of an eye, he thought that he must have been out for too long and Xiao Fuzi had something to do and asked someone to leave.

Thinking of this, Shuangxi opened the black cloth and saw the thing lying obediently in the cage with its eyes closed. He breathed a sigh of relief. It's good that the little guy is still here.

He sat down to rest again, just thinking about the colorful world outside, feeling a little envious after all.

"Where are the people? It's time for the Third Prince's gift to arrive!" someone shouted outside.

Shuangxi stood up with a smile and agreed loudly: "Here it is." Then he watched a few tall and thick guards come in and carry the cage away.

Shuangxi breathed a sigh of relief and went out to play again.
