Chapter 66
The bells and drums are ringing, and the ceremony and music are ringing.The noisy atmosphere and festive colors are Xia Zhi's first impression of the main hall of Xi Cang Palace.
She was dressed in a moon-white robe with dark embroidered patterns. Although it was men's clothing, Xia Zhi wore the color of a romantic and talented man.
A romantic wit?
Xia Zhi bowed her head and smiled slightly. This adjective was said by Ning Yan when he saw her this morning.It's just that she doesn't have the charm of a wit as a child.
Han Poli glanced sideways at Xia Zhi, his dark eyes could not reveal any emotion.
The clothes on Xia Zhi were made by Han Lili in a hurry.Compared with her well-dressed attire, Han Poli looked more casual.
She was dressed in a dark green robe, and her loose hair was tied casually with a white hairpin.Coupled with his rigid facial features and cold eyes, his coldness is even more evident.
Xia Zhi looked at Han Poli suspiciously, not understanding why he would release all his aura today.
When they first stepped into the palace, there were many eyes on them.When Xia Zhi was looking at the main hall of Xicang curiously, she didn't know that she had also become the object of others' scrutiny.
When some old officials of Xi Cang saw Xia Zhi's figure, their eyes lit up.Looking at her appearance, one can tell that she is a spiritual person, and looking at her inadvertent temperament, one can also understand what kind of personality this jade-like man will have.
Sure enough, it is the Jimo family, and all the ones cultivated are good.It's a pity that he is too young.
Emperor Xi Cang was wearing a bright yellow dragon robe and sitting on a dragon chair at the top of the main hall today, unlike the flattering look he had seen before, he was sitting majestically at this moment.But this image only lasted for a moment, and soon changed back to its previous absurd appearance.
Emperor Xi Cang looked at the several people standing under His Highness with a smile, and walked in together led by Xiao Jue.Everyone in this huge group of envoys had a good appearance, but the most eye-catching thing was the small figure standing in the middle of the crowd.
Thinking of what Concubine Yu Gui deliberately told him this morning, the smile on Emperor Xi Cang's face deepened, and he raised his voice, "Mr. Jimo has been resting in the palace for the past few days, and you may not know that my Concubine Yu Gui is still your old friend. Haha, this morning I specifically asked me to take you to her palace after the birthday banquet. I heard that you have suffered a lot of grievances in the barracks."
The smile on Prime Minister Yin's face stopped, and the look of the fox faded slightly.Quickly exchanged glances with Mo Zhuyue standing on the other side of Emperor Xi Cang, Prime Minister Yin followed up with Emperor Xi Cang's words before everyone could react, "Your Majesty is really overjoyed. How could any foreign minister come in?" The truth of the harem, not to mention that this Mr. Jimo is not a subject of our Xi Cang, but a guest who came from afar."
Xia Zhi raised her eyebrows, she really didn't know that her appearance would grab everyone's attention.She didn't miss Xiao Jue's slightly dark face.
Xia Zhi stood leisurely and looked at the scenery of the main hall, as if she didn't hear the hint from Emperor Xi Cang and Yin Cheng to her.
An imperceptible light flashed in Xiao Jue's eyes, and he finally found a space to speak, so he interjected directly, "Emperor Xi Cang is really warm. Whether it's for our Young Master Jimo of Dongling, or us envoys, They all gave a special courtesy. Here, on behalf of Dongling, I congratulated Emperor Xi Cang, and the gift was delivered early in the morning. I just don’t know when the birthday banquet will start?"
Logically speaking, it would be a little unreasonable for an envoy of an enemy country to ask this question.But with the absurdity of Emperor Xi Cang first, no one will care whether Xiao Jue's words are inappropriate.
Prime Minister Yin burst into laughter immediately, seemingly bold, but in fact he disliked Xiao Jue's talkativeness.If he hadn't stepped in like this, maybe Xia Zhi would have created a gap with Dong Ling after he and Emperor Xi Cang made such a fuss.
"What the second prince said is true. Since we have congratulated in the main hall, let's go to the side hall to attend the birthday banquet."
Prime Minister Yin's words got nothing but Xiao Jue's slight smile.The corners of Xiao Jue's tightly pursed lips raised a gentle arc, although it was his plan from the beginning to take Xia Zhi out.But it doesn't mean that he will give away such an extremely useful talent, after all, he has spent a lot of effort for her.
Besides, he also mistreated Xia Zhi like Prime Minister Yin and didn't see her nodding a few times, so how could Xi Cang think that a jade concubine would make Xia Zhi turn against him.
Following in the footsteps of everyone, they moved to the side hall, and the birthday banquet began.
Xia Zhi was arranged to sit at the same table with Han Lili, which was slightly below Xiao Jue's seat.Watching the somewhat boring singing and dancing performances in the hall, Xia Zhi could only eat the dishes that Han Poli gave her, and ate them incessantly.
In the end, she was so bored that she was about to fall asleep, so Xia Zhi tugged Han Poli's sleeve, and whispered in his ear, "What do you think is the attitude of Emperor Xi Cang towards Concubine Yugui? "
Han Poli put down the chopsticks in his hand, and his dark eyes scanned all the people present.Lowering his eyelids, Han Poli did not deliberately lower his voice, "She is a woman sent to the palace by Mo Zhuyue a month ago. In less than ten days, Emperor Xi Cang was fascinated. In less than three days, the empress of Xi Cang was pulled down, tell me, what is the attitude of Emperor Xi Cang towards her?"
After hearing Han Poli's words, Xia Zhi's eyes widened in surprise.She was a little curious about Concubine Yu.
Sitting alone on the dragon chair, Emperor Xi Cang couldn't sit still.However, in the eyes of the ministers below, this has long been a habit.
Sure enough, Emperor Xi Cang put the cup heavily on the table, and ordered to the entourage standing behind him, "Let everyone else sit over there and watch the play. Then call Concubine Yugui over here."
After finishing speaking, an abnormal smile appeared on Emperor Xi Cang's face.
Xia Zhi felt a little disgusted, so she quickly looked away and looked elsewhere.Just turning her head, Xia Zhi saw the Seventh Prince sitting opposite her, looking at her expectantly.
Dazed for a moment, Xia Zhi nodded to him as a greeting.
However, the Seventh Prince still felt that he didn't show enough enthusiasm for Xia Zhi, so he put down the wine glass on the table, ignored the obstruction of the waiter beside him, and directly stood up and walked in front of Xia Zhi.
"Hey, do you remember me?" The Seventh Prince ran over enthusiastically, looking at Xia Zhi as if he saw someone he admired extremely.
Xia Zhi met the Seventh Prince's eyes with some numbness, and finally could only nod along with his prayer.
"I knew that my concubine would let you remember me. Let me tell you, if I didn't have your key to escape, I would not have survived them to save me. You don't know, when they When I saw my body covered in injuries, I was startled. Then the carriage drove all the way back to Xi Cang, hitting many people on the road..."
The Seventh Prince found a savior, and finally spit out the words of gratitude that he had held back for a long time.It doesn't matter whether the other party wants to hear it or not, whether these words are suitable for him, a prince of Xi Cang, to say.
Han Poli took a sip of his wine, looked at the two children sitting beside him, and quickly turned his eyes away.
But then he heard the Seventh Prince say to Xia Zhi, "Didn't I put a note in the invitation to tell you to be more careful? What happened to you in the main hall today will probably make Concubine Yu Gui Outburst. You must be on guard against her. My concubine mother was pulled down by her back then."
Seeing that Xia Zhi was still sitting here leisurely, the Seventh Prince frowned tightly.Was it because he was still too young that Xia Zhi didn't care about what he said.But he obviously heard from his concubine that the members of the Jimo family were very cautious and would not put themselves in danger.
After hearing the Seventh Prince's words, Xia Zhi's expression did not change.Just turning her head and looking at Han Poli, she also found a trace of heaviness in his eyes.
However, when she wanted to ask the Seventh Prince how he got the news, the eunuch standing at the gate of the palace suddenly heard a message.
"Concubine Yu is here!"
However, only Emperor Xi Cang listened to this transmission with joy.The rest of the people sitting in the main hall continued to happily watch the singing and dancing performed below without moving their eyes.
"Haha, my beloved concubine is here. Ladies and gentlemen, you can go about your own affairs and don't have to accompany me." Emperor Xi Cang tolerantly let go of the freedom of his subjects, and a look of joy floated into his eyes.
Xia Zhi raised her eyebrows when she saw Emperor Xi Cang's old-fashioned body and wanted to get off the dragon chair to meet someone at the gate of the palace in person.
The prime minister and general of Xi Cang are really strong in governing the country.
The courtiers didn't even look at Emperor Xi Cang, as if they didn't hear what he just said.In fact, the purpose of holding this birthday banquet today is to attract envoys from other countries to have a talk.
The ambitions of Prime Minister Yin and Mo Zhuyue are not small.
At the entrance of the side hall, a bright red skirt came in.With her graceful figure, crystal clear skin, and enchanting appearance, no matter how you look at it, she is not the person in Xia Zhi's impression.
However, this Concubine Yugui is really Xia Zhi's old friend, the kind of old friend who had a deep hatred.
Concubine Yugui's footsteps are full of lotus, this posture completely conceals her somewhat limp feet, and she has a different charm.
From the shining eyes of Emperor Xi Cang, it can be seen how favored Concubine Yu Gui is in his heart.But he was the only one who cared, the other courtiers didn't buy into Concubine Yu Guifei, a faceless and brainless person who came out halfway.
Ever since she entered the palace, the harem of Emperor Xi Cang has been turned into a mess.Except for the embarrassment of Emperor Xi Cang at the gate of the palace that day, no one would really notice her.
Concubine Yugui walked into the palace with her head held high and looked at the obsessive gaze of Emperor Xi Cang on her, feeling a burst of pride in her heart, but thinking about the fact that Emperor Xi Cang was already in his fifties, she felt a little disgusted.
There was a hint of evil in her eyes, Concubine Yugui had imitated Emperor Xi Cang's absurd behavior, and before she sat down, she scolded, "Where is Xia Zhi, come out to me!"
