Chapter 551
If the Xiao family collapses, not only will his marriage with Xiao Yudie be nullified, but even the lineage of the extremely eldest prince of the Xiao family will be uprooted and the future troubles will be eradicated forever. This is a plan that kills two birds with one stone. time.

After a burst of crying, the hall returned to calm again.

"The banquet continues, all lovers don't need to panic, as long as you are loyal to my courtiers, I will never treat them badly."

"Your majesty is wise." All the ministers kowtowed in praise, but their hearts were already up and down like a flower drum, trembling uneasy, how could the emperor be having a birthday banquet?It was clear that it was a premeditated Hongmen banquet.

The banquet continued, the smoke filled the air, and a wisp of a light green dancer in palace dress swayed in. Accompanied by the graceful dance of the palace music, the water waist twisted, the long skirt fluttered, and the sleeves fluttered. It was a magnificent and beautiful scene. The picture instantly replaced the tension and depression just now.

But most of the people in the hall no longer have the heart to admire these enchanting beauties, their faces show worry and worry, and they watch the faces of the emperor and the queen mother from time to time, while the two who hold the power of life and death are admiring with smiles on their faces. Singing and dancing, it seemed that the sight just now didn't affect them.

Noble Concubine Xiao and the First Prince have also been invited to their bedroom. As long as the case of the Xiao family is not over, they will be locked in their own palace and not allowed to come out for half a step. The empress and the imprisoned second prince, these methods are so similar.

After the song was over, the dancers sent their congratulations and then retreated one after another. Emperor Wu of Qin picked up the glazed wine cup and took a sip, "Hehe, I just felt that the time of youth and frivolity has passed after seeing these juniors. If I didn't If I remember correctly, Wen Jin from Nan'an County Prince's Mansion is about the same age as Ce'er, and Yi'er has already passed the ceremony of weak crown, and seems to be the same age as Ziyu. Hehe, even Ye Xiaozi from the Wang's House of Dongping County can go to the battlefield to kill the enemy now Now, in comparison, Xu Shizi of Xining County Prince's Mansion should be the youngest one."

Qin Wudi's unclear words brought up several famous princes of aristocratic families in the dynasty, and everyone's alarm bells were shaken. I don't know what his plan is.

Empress Dowager Yang looked at all the people who were sitting again, then chuckled and said, "Isn't that so, the younger generations of this generation are all talents, you can see that they are all handsome and talented, but the only shortcoming is It’s because they are not keen on family incense, now it’s time for the grandsons of Ai’s family to start a family.”

Emperor Wu of Qin raised his eyebrows slightly, "The Xiao family was imprisoned in the patriarchal mansion before Yi'er's marriage could be issued in the future. Could it be that the queen mother has drawn up some candidates for him?"

When Murong Yi heard this sentence, Shun Zi trembled slightly, but he didn't intend to raise his head.

Empress Dowager Yang shook her head, turned her head to look at the row of banquets on the left, and then said: "The Ai family is talking about Ce'er's marriage. He is one year older than Yi'er. It stands to reason that he should have started a family long ago." It's time."

"Oh? Why did the queen mother suddenly think of Ce'er?"

"Ce'er is the grandson of the Ai family, and the Ai family is naturally thinking about it. Although he is no longer in the capital, marriage is a matter of parents' orders and matchmaker's words. Ce'er has always been filial to the emperor. Why don't the emperor draw up a court for him today?" The daughter of the minister's family?"

Qin Wudi's sword eyebrows flickered slightly, he looked in Xia Qingge's direction, and finally fixed on Ouyang Xinyao, as if he was seriously weighing something.

After thinking for a long time, Emperor Wu of Qin finally said, "Now that Ce'er is at the border, he has a stubborn temper. It's better to wait until he is informed about lifelong events and make plans. Today is my birthday banquet. I don't want everyone in the Qing family to sit nervously all the time." Here." Qin Wudi rejected the empress dowager's push, he knew that the empress dowager definitely hoped to take this opportunity to point Xia Qingge to Ce'er, so that the relationship between Xia Qingge and Murong Yu would be broken, but he remembered that day What Xia Qingge said in Desheng Hall, for some reason, because of this sentence, he who has always been good at putting interests first, hesitated. Perhaps he really believed that Xia Qingge would have the ability to take revenge. Or maybe he owes Ziyuan too much, and now he really doesn't want to continue to use her daughter.

Empress Dowager Yang's expression flashed displeasure. It was no secret that Qin Wudi had wanted to get rid of her restraint a long time ago, but her reminder was of great benefit to him. She would give the marriage along the way, but never thought that he would refuse it. Such a result made her very dissatisfied. It seemed that she was the only one who made the move herself.

Xia Qingge quietly ate the food in front of her. The table was full of delicacies from mountains and seas that were rarely seen on weekdays, but now her mouth was dry and she couldn't taste the taste. Her ears had been paying attention to the conversation between Empress Dowager Yang and Emperor Qin Wu. She naturally understood what she was talking about, and when Emperor Wu of Qin refused, the chopsticks in her hands tightened obviously, and she raised her eyes to look at the bright yellow figure on the high platform, her eyes narrowed slightly, her mind was full of thoughts, didn't he always want to Is she married to Murong Ce?Why did he refuse this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity?
"Eat well, don't worry about things that have nothing to do with you." Xia Qingge handed a piece of cherry meat to the plate in front of him, and Xia Qingge raised his eyes to meet a pair of deep but clear instants.

Xia Ziqing looked at her, who smiled slightly, "Yes!"

Then she obediently lowered her head and started to eat. Her father was right. These things have nothing to do with her. She just needs to do her own thing well. If one day, when things really come to the point where she has to fight back, she will definitely not Will show weakness.

The banquet ended under a tense and low pressure, and then came the "Firecrackers" Festival, which is only available every year during the Lunar New Year's Eve. Hundreds of kinds of fireworks are set off, and the prosperity is unprecedented.

Walking out of the Chongwen Hall, a group of people came to an open space of a thousand hectares near the Imperial Garden. At this time, a high platform had already been built here, surrounded by braziers hanging high, lighting up the entire night sky like daytime.

Xia Qingge walked at the back of the crowd. She wasn't very keen on the excitement in front of her. She looked around, hoping that when the firecrackers sounded later, she would go to an inconspicuous corner to watch.

"Sister Qingge."

A joyful exclamation caught Xia Qingge's attention.

"Didn't you follow the queen mother to the front desk?" Seeing that it was Yang Ziyue running towards him, Xia Qingge unconsciously curled up a smile.

"With elder sister Ziyi accompanying the queen mother, how could she notice me, an inconspicuous little girl, but I'm surprised. Hasn't the queen mother always loved you the most? Why did she let your fifth younger sister serve around?"

Xia Qingge didn't care about the queen mother's inventory of the main hall just now. She never took the queen mother's superficial friendliness towards her as sincerity from the beginning. Now, why is she dissatisfied with this favor being taken back?
