Chapter 216

Seeing Ji Li's actions, the old emperor's face was already dark, and his gloomy eyes were staring at Ji Li unblinkingly, as if he wanted to swallow Ji Li alive.

"The world is so big, it belongs to the emperor, and the subject belongs to the emperor. I have no choice but to borrow flowers to present the Buddha today. I hope the emperor will not dislike it." A strange stream of light burst out of Lonely's eyes, and then he squinted and smiled, looking at him neither humble nor overbearing. old emperor.

The old emperor smiled angrily, holding the armrest of the golden chair tightly with his hands, and every word seemed to be squeezed out between his teeth, "Do you know what this golden lotus means?"

"Of course I know about it." Ji Li looked down at the golden lotus, with a trace of warmth in his eyes, "This is the alien species cultivated by my mother and concubine, and there is probably only one in the world."

Ji Li's hand gently caressed the petals of this golden lotus, all he did was undoubtedly not a provocation to the emperor.

All the ministers know that the emperor loves lotus, especially the golden lotus in the center of the imperial garden.

There was once a maidservant who had just entered the palace, but accidentally poured sewage into the lotus basin. The emperor immediately got angry and drowned the maidservant in a pile of sewage with his own hands.

From then on, except for changing the water for the golden lotus, the people in the palace would stay away from the golden lotus, lest if they didn't pay attention, their own lives would be lost.

But today, Ji Li not only picked off the golden lotus, but also said the unspeakable things...

That golden lotus was actually planted by the former Princess Ji...

The faces of the ministers present instantly became exciting.

There used to be rumors that the emperor had been obsessed with Princess Ji for a long time, so there would never be any concubines or even queens around him.

At first they didn't believe it.

But today's words and flowers, coupled with the emperor's obsession with that golden lotus...

Like a stone stirring up a thousand layers of waves, everyone's hearts are full of mixed feelings.

The emperor's face could not tell whether it was anger or sadness, and his tightly pursed lips hadn't opened for a long time.

"Your majesty thinks the minister's birthday gift is a bit light?" Ji Li smiled brighter than Jin Lian.

I saw Ji Li holding up the golden lotus with both hands, and immediately closed it, and then slowly twisted and rubbed it lightly.

Finally, in the slightly red eyes of the emperor...

That golden lotus turned into a handful of gold powder in Ji Li's hands.

With just a slight waving, the gold powder turned into dots of golden fluorescent light, and slowly, slowly drifted away with the wind.

There was a ray of golden fluorescent light floating on the high platform where the emperor was sitting. The emperor lost his mind for a moment, and raised his hand to catch the golden fluorescent light in the palm of his hand. The moment he touched the golden fluorescent light, The emperor's hand trembled slightly.

At the banquet with so many people, there was no sound at all.

I don't know how long it took before the old emperor opened his mouth, his voice was a little hoarse, "I really like Prince Ji's birthday gift, thank you!"

Anyone present here, as long as they have a discerning eye, can see the ruthless look on the emperor's face that is so thick that it cannot be dispelled.

Ji Li didn't care, but smiled brightly and bowed his hands, saying: "I thank the emperor."

No one dared to say anything, on the one hand was the unpredictable emperor, on the other was the moody prince, neither of them could be offended by this group of people, so they all chose to remain silent in a tacit understanding.

But a birthday banquet is a birthday banquet, and some singing, dancing and juggling are indispensable.

After a while, the singing and dancing on stage resolved this embarrassing situation.

Everyone returned to their seats, and Ji Li supported Lian Qingcheng to sit in the seat closest to the emperor. Originally, the woman was going to return to the female seat, but the emperor gave Lian Qingcheng the unprecedented grace to sit down.

As soon as the actor's voice was clear and clear, he won a round of applause.

The emperor seemed to have forgotten the displeasure just now, and he was so absorbed in listening to the actor's libretto.

At the end of the song, everyone was still immersed in the beautiful voice of the actor, and then there was a burst of drumming.

It turned out that the most lively juggler came to the stage. The first one who came up was a tall and thick man with a torch in his hand. Amidst a burst of astonishment, the man blew on the fire, and with just one blow, the tongue of flame spurted far away, scaring the audience. The minister closest to him couldn't help but hide back.

Just when the juggling troupe pushed up a huge turntable, the emperor laughed, "I used to like to watch this throwing knife the most."

While speaking, the emperor did not forget to look back at the prince.

Baililang looked at the emperor, his expression paused for a moment, then his eyes turned to Jili and Lian Qingcheng, after a pause, Baililang said with a smile: "My father loves this show, but I have watched it for many years, I am afraid it will be a novelty." The feeling is gone, Erchen thought of a new way to play here, I don't know if Father...whether you want to listen..."

The emperor smiled, showing his white teeth, and said curiously, "Oh? Why don't you tell me, the emperor."

"In the past, those well-trained handles were used to hold throwing knives, and those tied to the turntable were also people from juggling troupes. This year, why don't we change it and bring something exciting. I don't know what the emperor wants?" Baili Lang, who had been drinking all the time, put down the wine glass in his hand early and stood up.

The emperor seemed to be interested, "Stimulating? What kind of stimulating method?"

Baililang walked to the front of the stage, stopped the jugglers first, then turned around and saluted, "My son is not talented, but thanks to my father's persistence, I have learned kung fu for many years, and horseback riding and archery are no problem. My son-in-law took the initiative to invite Ying, and replaced flying knives with bows and arrows, and asked one of you to put on the turntable, and perform a play of piercing Yang with a hundred steps for the emperor, to cheer for the emperor."

"Okay, okay, okay." The emperor said three good words in a row, "I'm sure! It's just... who does the emperor want to go with you?"

Baililang paced around the table slowly, looking around, as if he was looking for a suitable candidate.

In the end, that step stopped in front of Ji Li and Lian Qingcheng's table, "Ji Wang Ye, I wonder if I can borrow Wang Hao?"

Ji Li has been suppressing his temper and watching the father and son sing and sing. Their methods have been guessed by Ji Li, and now Baili Lang actually said this, which makes Ji Li laugh, "If the king Say no?"

The emperor drank the wine in the cup, smiled and said: "I know that you and your husband are deeply in love, but the prince's archery skills are not blown away, so it won't hurt your princess, why don't you let everyone have fun. Prince Ji."

Ji Li raised his eyes to look at the smiling emperor, feeling restless in his heart, seeing this, Lian Qingcheng hurriedly said, "Since the emperor wants to see it, I will be willing to cooperate with the prince."

Just after Lian Qingcheng got up, Ji Li also stood up immediately, "Since you want to see it, how about this king participating in it?"

A look of surprise flashed across the emperor's eyes, and then he smiled and said, "Participate?"
