Chapter 17
Xia Hou Shiyi's face froze, he said that he was not worthy of bright red, and then washed the color into water red, did he mean that he was only worthy of being a concubine.
Although she knew early on that all of this was the emperor's scheme, and Dihua Jiu might have known the emperor's thoughts, but after hearing Di Hua Jiu's words, her heart was still a little uncontrollably sour.
Concubine, what an ironic word.
Zhong Liye felt a little joy in his heart, he wondered if Di Huajiu's categorical refusal meant that this matter was given up and he still had a chance.Although Xia Hou Shiyi like this can't bring him much help, it is also a good choice to put it in the backyard.
"Ahem, since the high priest thinks this color is more suitable for Shiyi, let's choose this color." The emperor coughed twice in embarrassment, and said dryly.
This is also a disguised agreement to Xiahou Shiyi's request for Dihua Jiu to be his concubine.
"Since the emperor thinks it's good, then so be it." Di Huajiu held the wine glass with his right hand, lowered his eyelids, so that people could not see the emotion in his eyes.
Xiahou Shiyi clenched his fists with his hands hidden under his sleeves, no matter how unwilling he was, he had no choice but to swallow them back into his stomach.
She is still too weak now, she wants to become stronger, only when she becomes strong, others can't control her fate.
She didn't go to see Dihua Jiu, but picked up the jug again and poured a glass of wine for Dihua Jiu, then got up and returned to her seat.
She thought that Di Huajiu hated her, after all, she was the woman that the emperor forced on him, and she was also a woman with more than pure motives.
Just because she didn't look up, what she didn't see was that when she poured wine for Dihua Jiu, Di Hua Jiu's gaze stayed on her all the time, and there were emotions in it that she couldn't understand now.
No matter what kind of episode happened, it has nothing to do with them, and it is not their fate that is decided, they just watch it as a play.
Many of them felt that Xiahou Shiyi was just lucky, that after being abandoned by the prince, he could still be taken over by Di Huajiu.
"Okay, where is the dancer, go on, go on." The emperor laughed.
For him, it doesn't matter what kind of identity Xiahou Shiyi stays by Di Huajiu's side, as long as his goal is achieved.
As the emperor's voice fell, the banquet continued again, and the singing and dancing up and down concealed the conspiracy of power and the ugliness of people's hearts.
Not far away, Xiahou Qianqian looked at Xiahou Shiyi with resentment, and sneered in her heart, even if she followed the high priest, so what, she is not a concubine, how can there be a princess, the future mother of the country, who is so honorable.
That bitch will still have to salute herself when she sees her in the future, but today, she won't have to see that face again.
She doesn't allow her brother Ye to have any past, even if there is, she will destroy it one by one, just like Xiahou Shiyi's trash.
Xiahou Shiyi drank wine on his own, as if he didn't notice Xiahou Qianqian's gaze.
For her indifference, Xia Houqian wanted to vomit blood angrily.Bitch, don't be too complacent, I hope you can still laugh after a while.
"Your Majesty, it's bad, the holy object is gone."
Tonight's banquet is not destined to be peaceful. The atmosphere in the hall has just become lively, and a eunuch ran in in a panic.
"What did you say disappeared?" The emperor was startled at first, and then flew into a rage.
There was an uproar in the hall.
The sacred object was gone, it was a sacred object used for sacrifices, it was related to the fate of their Zhongli country, and it was missing.
Everyone looked at the eunuch, waiting for his confirmation. They hoped that all this was just their hallucination and that the holy object was not lost.
"Go back, go back to the emperor, holy, the holy thing is lost." The little eunuch said with a mournful face.
The sacred object is gone, that is a serious crime of beheading!
How could he be so unlucky to be involved in such a big event.
If he had known this, he shouldn't have been greedy for those few ingots of silver and changed shifts with Xiaodongzi.
"Tell me what happened in detail. Did you ever leave in the middle?" The emperor must have been in a hurry. He also knew that it was useless to be in a hurry. The most urgent thing to do was to find out what happened.
Seeing that the emperor didn't kill him immediately, the little eunuch thanked Dade and told everything about today.
"Returning to the emperor, the servant has been staying in the Zelin Palace today, and has not left half a step. Except, except before the hour, the servant's stomachache is really uncomfortable. I went to the latrine for an accident, and there is nothing else."
Zelin Hall is a palace dedicated to holding holy relics.
"Hey, half an hour ago, I remembered that sister Shiyi seemed to have gone out, and the direction she went seemed to be where Zelin Hall was."
Xiahou Qianqian's gentle and beautiful voice suddenly sounded in the hall.
At this time, everyone was listening to the little eunuch's reply, so her voice seemed very abrupt in this empty hall.
what!
The eldest lady of Zhennan Houfu went to Zelin Hall half an hour ago!
Isn't it very likely that the holy object was stolen by the eldest lady of Zhennan Houfu.
It must be because she failed to marry the prince, so she used this method to take revenge on our Zhongli country.
Everyone instantly opened their brains, brainstorming about the truth they didn't know.
Some even feel that they are the truth.
"Xiahou Shiyi, do you have something to say?" the emperor looked at Xiahou Shiyi and asked calmly.
Xiahou Shiyi was a pawn he arranged beside Dihua Jiu, and he also knew that the holy object was definitely not taken by Xia Hou Shiyi. In contrast, he was more willing to believe that this was a play directed and performed by Dihua Jiu.
But at this time, he can't favor Xia Hou Shiyi, after all, the only clue now points to her.
He secretly sighed, it would be best if Xia Hou Shiyi could escape this catastrophe, but if he couldn't escape, he had no choice but to think of another way and re-insert people to Di Huajiu's side.
Xiahou Shiyi got up slowly, instead of looking at the emperor, he walked towards Xiahou Qianqian: "How did Sister Qianqian determine that the place I went half an hour ago must be Zelin Palace?"
"I had something to say to my sister, but when I saw you going out, I followed her, and I happened to see you entering the Zelin Hall. Sister, we don't want to see your divorce from His Highness the Crown Prince. , but you can’t hold grudges because of this and steal the holy things.” Xiahou Qianqian had already prepared her speech, and at this time, she naturally answered very vividly.
"Is there someone to prove it?" Xiahou Shiyi said.
"Yes, Princess Tianyu can testify for me." Xiahou Qianqian nodded and sneered in her heart.
Long before the banquet started, she had discussed with Princess Tianyu that Xia Hou Shiyi must be killed today.
Xiahou Shiyi, don't blame me for going to the underworld, if you want to blame, you can only blame you for unknowingly offending someone who shouldn't be offended.
The High Priest of Jiuqing is also something you can imagine, but don't forget that in Zhongli Country, Princess Tianyu loves the High Priest of Jiuqing very much.
Whenever there are any romantic rumors around the high priest of Jiuqing, Princess Tianyu will torture him to death regardless of the truth.
"Father, my son can testify that everything Miss Qianqian said is true." Seeing that it was his turn, Zhong Liyu stood up and said.
"Princess Tianyu and sister Qianqian both said that I stole the holy object, but there is evidence." Xiahou Shiyi's lips curved slightly in a mocking arc.
"Originally, I planned to show some face to Sister Qianqian by not taking out this handkerchief, but since you don't give up, I have no choice but to show the evidence."
Princess Tianyu took out a handkerchief with footprints on it, and the word "Yi" embroidered on it was very eye-catching.
For a while, the whole hall was silent.
They looked at Xiahou Shiyi in disbelief, the holy object was really stolen by the eldest lady of Zhennan Houfu.
Xia Hou Shiyi sneered: "A handkerchief embroidered with the word Yi can prove that I stole the holy object."
For a moment, everyone couldn't help but exclaimed.
The evidence is solid, and the eldest lady of Nanhou Mansion in Zhenzhen still wants to deny it.
"In Zhongli Country, who doesn't know that I, Xia Hou Shiyi, am not only a waste who can't cultivate, but also a mess of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, let alone embroidery."
Xia Hou Shiyi's tone was full of sarcasm, which made everyone think deeply.
That's right, how could they have forgotten that Xia Hou Shiyi was notorious for being incapable of writing or martial arts?
Immediately, Di Huajiu looked at Xia Hou Shiyi with admiration. He had guessed that Xia Hou Shiyi was quick-witted, but what he didn't expect was that she could still maintain her composure in the face of so many people. It's rare to be calm.
However, when he heard Xiahou Shiyi's self-mockery, he felt a slight pain in his heart for some reason.
Xiahou Qianqian and Princess Tianyu didn't expect Xiahou Shiyi's reaction to be so quick, and they couldn't help feeling a little anxious.
Zhong Liyu glared at Xiahou Qianqian dissatisfied, beckoning her to find a way out quickly.
"Sister, you should admit it now, as long as you return the holy object immediately, I believe His Majesty will not blame you."
No matter what the reason is for that bitch Xiahou Shiyi suddenly became smart, as long as she proves her crime of stealing the sacred objects as quickly as possible, then everything will be over.
"Admit!? How can I admit to something I haven't done, not to mention that I don't even know what the holy relic badge looks like." Xiahou Shiyi glanced at the crowd: "Let me ask, how can such an idiot like me embroider A handkerchief with such a fine embroidery."
Many people were guilty of being watched by Xia Hou Shiyi, and couldn't help but lower their heads, not to make contact with Xia Hou Shiyi's eyes.
"You can ask your maid to embroider on your behalf." Someone said.
Yes, if the master doesn't know how to embroider, he can find a maid to embroider it for him.
The man's words were like a ray of dawn, waking up everyone.
Xiahou Shiyi's eyes swept across the crowd, and his eyes were full of sarcasm.
The sacred object was stolen, and the ministers were not thinking about how to retrieve the sacred object, but trying to find ways to confirm her crime of stealing the sacred object.
Ignoring everyone's strange gazes, she walked up to Zhong Liyu and took the handkerchief from his hand.
"If I'm not mistaken, the material of this handkerchief is the moonlight used by the royal family. Officials and officials don't get the moonlight except for the reward from the Holy One."
"Naturally, it is Yuehua. As the eldest lady of Zhennan Hou Mansion, it is not difficult to own one or two horses of Yuehua." Zhong Liyu nodded.
She and Xiahou Qianqian thought about this problem when they first planned to set up this game, and the handkerchief material they used was naturally not too ordinary.
