marry the princess

Chapter 176 Begging for the Antidote
After Xu time, the harem banquet began, and the Wanhua Palace was full of joy and joy, celebrating the great joy of the emperor and concubine.

Murong Qing Emperor Yu and Concubine Lin Gui were present at the table, while Empress Dowager Chengyuan was not present at the dinner.

Compared with the solemn and formal Concubine Ceremony, all the civil and military officials were much more relaxed at this time. Seeing the beauty of the sleeve dance, the silk and bamboo were melodious, and they raised their glasses to congratulate the emperor.

Su Leyan was sitting next to Murong Huayi, and she was also a little hungry, so she ate the snacks on the dinner plate alone, and also ate a few sliced ​​green wood fruits. Came over to ask An to ask if I need to add more, Su Leyan smiled embarrassedly, and said that she had enough.

"The princess was wronged in my palace, and even the food is used more in the palace?" Murong Huayi's voice sounded after the maid retreated.

"My lord sent two smart maids, how could I be wronged." Su Leyan wiped the corners of her lips with a silk handkerchief, "Your lord really likes to joke."

Staying in the palace for half a day, Su Leyan has never left the palace for a long time, and she seldom leaves the Yanyu Pavilion. After walking and talking, she felt a little tired and wanted to eat.

Murong Huayi looked at her indifferent look, and didn't care about it any more, he just raised his head and drank the glass of wine in his hand.

"Pour wine for the king."

Murong Huayi put the wine glass aside, with some force, he paused in front of Su Leyan, but the voice of the order was extremely low.He opened his mouth, and Su Leyan followed suit, put away the handkerchief, picked up the silver jug ​​and slowly filled the wine for him.

"Whoa--"

In the courtyard, the dancers danced lightly, with their sleeves fluttering, and everyone's eyes were attracted by it.

When Su Leyan filled the wine glass, Murong Huayi still kept his eyes on the front and did not take it. Su Leyan put the silver pot back, hesitated for a moment, picked up the wine glass, and respectfully brought it to him, "My lord, please use .”

She served her respectfully, but Murong Huayi didn't look at her directly, he casually raised his hand to pick it up, but turned over the wine glass and spilled the wine all over Su Leyan.

Su Leyan didn't expect him to be so rude, she didn't take precautions at all, the wine spilled and splashed all over her body, but he overturned the wine glass and almost hit her in the face when it flew over.

Su Leyan exclaimed in a low voice, then bit her lips and swallowed the sound back into her stomach.Only then did Murong Huayi turn his gaze around, seeing her embarrassed appearance, "Wangfei doesn't want to be wronged and pour wine for this king, so she can't afford to sprinkle herself all over, right?"

Su Leyan froze for a moment, then wiped off the wine stains on her cheeks with a handkerchief, and got up regardless of the wetness of her skirt, "I'm sorry, I'll take my leave first."

Su Leyan squeezed her handkerchief and left the table.

The main hall was full of laughter and silk, bamboo and dance music, no one noticed the strangeness on their side - except for two people.

At the banquet, Yan Zhi and Yang Rurui were also among them. They had been paying attention to Murong Huayi and Su Leyan since they entered the palace, and now they were also watching this side without exception.

Murong Huayiji hated their gazes, but ignored them.

At this moment, seeing Murong Huayi spilling wine all over Su Leyan and not caring about it, Yan Zhi's small eyes gathered together, holding the wine glass and continuing to drink.

I have seen Murong Huayi give Su Leyan cold eyes several times today. Although Murong Huayi will still give Su Leyan a hand in front of people, but when no one is paying attention, Murong Huayi is very indifferent to Su Leyan, with an expression of indifference in his eyes .

And Su Leyan followed her with an extremely depressed appearance, which made Yan Zhi and Yang Rurui feel very uneasy.

Seeing Su Leyan leave the table now, Yan Zhi immediately got up and went in the direction Su Leyan was walking.

Seeing Yan Zhi stand up, Murong Huayi's eyes changed, and then he continued to enjoy the singing and dancing peacefully.

Su Leyan, who was walking away, didn't care about the wine stains on her dress, so she just let it go.

Just now she was a little angry, if she didn't get up and leave, she might not be able to hold back when she looked at Murong Huayi again.On this day, she was in a very bad mood and was on the verge of erupting at any time. Murong Huayi's intentional or unintentional ridicule made her feel extremely dazzling, both angry and heartbroken.

She really wanted to know why Murong Huayi was suddenly so alienated and indifferent to her. When he was gentle with her in front of others, Su Leyan felt extremely ironic and even more confused and disturbed.

If she didn't come out for a walk, maybe she couldn't help her temper.But what right did she have, what position did she have to lose her temper with him?Murong Huayi doesn't cherish her appearance like that, does he still care?
Su Leyan was confused all the way, forcing herself to be dizzy, and she couldn't calm down, until Yan Zhi suddenly caught up with her and called her from the side.

There was no one else around, Yan Zhi glanced at her, then motioned her to follow him, and then the two went to a more secret place.

"General." Su Leyan whispered respectfully.

"What's going on between you and the prince?" Yan Zhi asked.

Su Leyan bit her lips. Since the last time she had a quarrel with Yan Xinyao in the Fourteenth Prince's Mansion, Su Leyan hadn't faced them. She didn't know what to say at this moment, but now she didn't have to think about it, "My lord transferred Qingyue away, demoted her to out of the kitchen, and I haven't seen her for days."

With just this one sentence, as shrewd as Yan Zhi, he guessed many things.

"The prince is getting colder and colder towards you?"

Su Leyan nodded bitterly, this is not a lie she wants to make up, it is the truth.In the past, it was necessary to use lies to deal with Yan Zhi, but this time it doesn't need so much trouble, just tell the truth, but this feeling makes her very uncomfortable.

Yan Zhi felt relieved when he was confirmed, and said: "No matter how indifferent the prince is to you, he will still bring you into the palace today, and he will still recognize you as the princess in name, then you can just live and don't offend the prince."

Up until now, Yan Zhi has given Su Leyan to Murong Huayi as a favor and let him handle it.

Su Leyan bit her lip, and asked submissively: "The Fourteenth Prince already knows my true identity, and he also hates my appearance. General, when can you give me the antidote and let me go?"

When Su Leyan asked, Yan Zhi just remembered that Su Leyan was still thinking about her freedom.

"I don't think the general will need me anymore soon. I'm useless. Can the general let go of the child in Cao Luotang and me?" Su Leyan looked a little excited and grabbed Yan Zhi's clothes. sleeve, begged.

"This..." Yan Zhi fell into deep thought.

After this matter was exposed, Su Leyan was not something he could handle at all, everything depended on Murong Huayi's mood.If Murong Huayi was unhappy because of being cheated, he would take his anger out on Su Leyan, no matter the punishment, Yan Zhi would not interfere, now that Su Leyan begged him, he didn't know how to hold Su Leyan.

"General, can you let me go?" Su Leyan pulled his sleeve and knelt down at his feet, "I worked for the general for a year, and now the general doesn't need me anymore, can you let me go and give me a way out ?”

Su Leyan spoke very sadly, and after a while, tears welled up in her eyes.

"Since the Fourteenth Prince is still bringing you into the palace, you are still the Fourteenth Princess. What are you dissatisfied with?" Yan Zhi frowned, "It is disgraceful to say that you are my Yan Zhi's illegitimate daughter. The prince still treats you with respect, you are not the daughter of a thousand gold recognized by everyone, the position of the fourteenth princess is already in your pocket, you don't want to protect this status?"

"You are a poor teacher, what's wrong with marrying into the fourteenth prince's mansion? The fourteenth prince has treated you well before, and you are to blame for your unfavorable fate. You can't even keep a man. What do you expect you to do after leaving the Fourteenth Palace?" Yan Zhi's words were stinging, "Go back to your poor alley and hang out with a group of beggars for the rest of your life? You don't even think about how much you spent in the Fourteenth Palace. On a good day, you eat delicacies that you will never be able to eat in your whole life, and you wear silk and satin that you can't afford in your whole life, not to mention so many maids and servants around you. Let you live? Are you now look like you, and live such a poor life?"

Su Leyan burst into tears, and fell silent under Yan Zhi's words.

"You are no longer perfect, you are the woman of the fourteenth prince. If you leave the fourteenth prince's mansion, which man will want you? Even if a man marries you, can he give you the life you are living now? Su Leyan , you don’t know your blessings when you are in the blessings, staying in the Fourteenth Prince’s Mansion, even if you are a maid with no status, your life is much better than that in your poor alley, not to mention you are still a princess now, but look at you. A promising appearance can't keep the Fourteenth Prince, and this status is not something you should enjoy."

Yan Zhi looked like he hated iron for being weak, and was heartbroken that Su Leyan didn't know what was good and what was wrong, and she was still not satisfied after getting such a big deal.

"Stay in the palace with peace of mind, don't offend the lord and make him angry." As her mood gradually stabilized, Yan Zhi finally instructed, speaking with sincerity.

At this time, what he fears most is that Su Leyan will never obey Murong Huayi who has already learned the truth.

Because of his face, Murong Huayi would never disclose that Su Leyan was married for her. At this time, as long as Su Leyan cooperates obediently, no matter how Murong Huayi treats her, she will bear it well. So Yan Zhi Then also sit back and relax.

After Yan Zhi's "hard-hearted" teachings, Su Leyan was silent for a long time, and suddenly she seemed to be enlightened, and she stopped being excited, but responded to Yan Zhi in a low voice, "Su Leyan understands, no matter how the prince treats me, I will not will hit him."

Yan Zhi was very satisfied, "That's right."

"Su Leyan begged the general to give me the antidote..." Su Leyan was still tugging at his sleeve, "Now that my identity has been exposed, the prince is even more displeased with me. From my side, I'm afraid that no matter how honest I am, I won't have much freedom in the palace in the future, if I can't leave the palace to find the general, then the poison on my body..."
