Poisonous girl to marry

Chapter 336 Banquet
His mood at this moment is complicated than other people can understand. Looking back on the past, he met the late emperor, until he knew the identity of the late emperor, and before the late emperor passed away, he entrusted the orphan and handed over the nine-year-old child into his hands.

At that time, he was just thinking that the man had come to this world once, and he would have to experience everything before his life would be considered worthwhile. Unexpectedly, it would be difficult for him to get out of this torrent of water.

From the initial strange temptation to mutual dependence with the little emperor, they have experienced so many years of ups and downs together. He treats him as loyal to a monarch and loves him as his own child.

He has long thought that maybe one day, the baby bird will grow up and fly far away, so far that it will never return to his side.

Unexpectedly, the young bird finally grew into an eagle and soared nine days, but the first thing it did was come back and peck his eyes...

Sad to sad, no matter what, he finally fulfilled the late emperor's last wish, let the little emperor survive, and stood in this position openly, today he can speak impassionedly in front of the important ministers and his family, no longer have to worry about hiding his clumsiness.

Even if one day in the future, he came under the Nine Springs and met the late Emperor, he would still be able to salute generously and say with a smile that he lived up to his trust.

Huo Jiujiu raised his head and drank the wine in the cup in one gulp.

Jiang Wu sat at the same table with Huo Shijiu, thousands of prosperous clothes and fragrant temples surrounded Qianqiu Pavilion, but when Huo Shijiu picked up the wine cup, she could only see him alone.

Although he didn't speak, his body was surrounded by a layer of sadness.She has seen many emotions in him, but most of them are hidden by him under indifference and alienation, making him seem like a deep pool of silence without emotion.

But this time, she could feel his sadness so clearly.

Jiang Wu held his hand distressedly.

Huo Shijiu's palms were scratched mischievously, he came back to his senses, looked at the hands they were holding, and then Twilight followed her light blue jacket sleeves and moon-white drape, and looked at her slender and fair neck And a pretty face that is so delicate that it is difficult to describe and draw.

The concern in her eyes pierced through the protection around him, and all the gloom flew away, as if he had returned to the prosperity once again.

The little emperor's speech had just come to an end, and there were cheers one after another, followed by a tide of auspicious words, and finally evolved into a shout of long live.

The way the little emperor stood with his head held high and his chin lifted slightly made Huo Jiujiu laugh.

Raising a hand to give a slight signal, the little emperor ordered the banquet to begin. The sound of silk and bamboo came from all around, but the same festive piece was played, and it was uniform, as if it was played by the same person, but reverberated , is really refreshing.

The dancer Niao Tingting, who was dressed in a light pink gauze dress, came to the music, flung off a lotus flower with her dancing sleeve, and then danced lightly like a fairy descending from the earth.

Jiang Wu was not keen on singing and dancing, just now seeing that Huo Shijiu was unhappy, her heart was also tugging, and at this moment the silk and bamboo sounded, and she was finally able to talk to him comfortably, so she whispered: "Aying, if you If you don’t like it, let’s just go back. It just so happens that I’m doing this now so it’s convenient for you to take leave with the emperor.”

Huo Shijiu wrapped her soft hands in his palms, and said with a smile, "Since we're here, let's sit down for a while, and if you feel uncomfortable later, we'll go back."

"Yeah. I don't care. I listen to the little song and watch it from the beauties. I'll sleep when I go back."

Huo Shijiu smiled and shook her hand: "Keep your voice down, it's not good to make people listen carefully, don't spread the word tomorrow that the heroine Mrs. Zhongyong actually loves women."

"I've always been a brave person. Am I afraid that people will tell me that I love beauty? Besides, I look at my husband, but I don't look at anyone else."

Huo Nineteen...

The beauty she said was herself?

He seemed to be molested by his wife again.But it felt surprisingly good.It seems that the sadness just now has been diluted.

"Brother Ying."

The little emperor's voice suddenly came, and Huo Shijiu and Jiang Wu looked up at the same time.

"Brother Ying, I offer you a toast." The little emperor walked towards this side slowly.A little wine dripped from the wine cup in his hand.

The emperor's every move is naturally the focus of everyone's attention. Although the singing and dancing are still the same, everyone is looking at this place without any trace.

Both Huo Shijiu and Jiang Wu stood up.

The little emperor had already approached, and said with a smile: "Without Brother Ying, I would not be where I am today. I would like to offer you a toast."

"The emperor's words are serious, and the minister is ashamed and dare not take it." Huo Shijiu held the cup in both hands, clinked with the little emperor, and drank it down in one gulp.

The little emperor exclaimed cheerfully, and said with a smile: "Brother Ying doesn't think so, but I can't help but remember that I still remember the ups and downs that I have gone through with Brother Ying these years. Every time I think of it, I feel emotional. "

"Your Majesty, it's time for His Majesty to show his strength. Let him pass the past, so there's no need to mention it."

"You're right." The little emperor turned sideways, and Jing Tong quickly poured wine for him.

"Sister, I also offer you a toast."

Although the little emperor's voice was not loud, everyone was paying attention here.Everyone knows Duke Zhongyong's achievements and his relationship with the emperor over the years, but it was unexpected that the little emperor would take the initiative to toast a woman.

For women in deep boudoirs, it can be said to be a great honor that is once in a lifetime.

The wives present looked at Jiang Wu with more complicated eyes.

Concubine Jin, who was accompanying the emperor, was also extremely conflicted.This girl was born well, and there were rumors about the parentage of Duke Zhongyong, and the emperor's attitude towards Jiang Wu, the gentle eyes seemed to be looking at his own family.

Concubine Jin had several thoughts in her mind, but in the end she had no choice but to hold up the wine cup with a smile, and drank a cup with her.

Jiang Wu is pregnant, it is not suitable for drinking, so she only took a shallow sip.The little emperor didn't take offense when he saw it, and said with a smile: "Sister, tell them to prepare whatever they want to eat. If you are tired, don't hold on. I have already ordered them to prepare a place to rest."

"Yes, thank you Your Majesty for your compassion." Jiang Wu bowed her knees and saluted.

The little emperor hurriedly supported her with both hands: "Hurry up and avoid these vain rituals, my sister is heavy, so I'd better sit down first."

The little emperor was happy for Huo Shijiu, knowing that he cared about Jiang Wu, he would naturally treat Jiang Wu kindly.Obviously at this moment, he didn't think about the rumors when he carried Qijin into the palace earlier.

But none of the people present was stupid, nor would they be so forgetful that the rumor was forgotten by now.

Therefore, seeing the little emperor holding the big belly with both hands and describing Jiang Wu as charming and beautiful, everyone has different deep meanings.

Huo Shijiu turned sideways without any trace and helped Jiang Wu to sit down, blocking the little emperor's movements.The little emperor didn't even return to the main seat, so he ordered Jing Tong to add a chair to Huo Shijiu's table, and sat down.

As a result, Concubine Jin also sat down, and his wife moved the food and wine over.

The little emperor smiled and said, "It's more comfortable to drink like this. Maybe we haven't had such a good time in a long time."

"What the emperor said is true. Drink freely today, and I don't know if I will have the blessing to drink with the emperor in the future." Huo Shijiu raised his glass generously.

The little emperor laughed and said: "Why not? As long as I am still here, as long as there is a banquet, there will always be a place for Brother Ying by my side."

Such a promise, even though I didn't say it out loud, really choked up those around me who heard it, and my heart was shaken endlessly.Hearing the words, some extremely veteran ministers felt even more envious, and secretly praised the emperor for his kindness, and would never treat any meritorious minister lightly.

Of course, Huo Shijiu knew how effective it would be for the little emperor to give him such dignity on such an occasion.

However, he has never been afraid of other people's comments and all kinds of eyes. He was not afraid of infamy in the past, and he is not afraid of it now.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness, but I'm about to retire. In the future, I'm afraid that there will be no such banquet again. Let me offer you a few more glasses today." Huo Shijiu looked at Jing Tong.

Jing Tong immediately handed over the jug to Huo Shijiu knowingly.

The smile on the little emperor's face became a little stiff.

The topic came back here again, he didn't accept his favor, and brought up this matter in front of so many people.

"Brother Ying, I thought I made my words very clear a few days ago. Why did you bring it up again today?" The little emperor smiled, but his smile was gone.

Huo Shijiu, however, was not in a good mood. He nodded and said, "Yes, it's just that you had already made an agreement with me that day, and I believe that you are the one who keeps your promise."

Pursing his lips tightly, the little emperor's displeasure was already written on his face.

Huo Jiujiu lowered his eyes and said: "At that time, the British Duke had no choice but to leave. Now that the matter is over, I just want to go back to my hometown so that I can keep the rules for my parents and relatives."

Mentioning this, the little emperor's heart skipped a beat, and the confidence he had had was gone now.

Seeing the tense atmosphere, Concubine Jin hurriedly praised Jiang Wu, saying in her words that such heroines as Jiang Wu are already rare in the world, and even said that the women in the boudoir of the Great Yan Dynasty should all use Jiang Wu as a model.

Jiang Wu couldn't laugh or cry.

If all the women in the country of Yan looked like her, wouldn't they all be messed up?
She pursed her lips and suppressed a smile. Huo Shijiu immediately knew what she was thinking when he saw it, and his eyes softened.

The little emperor saw that Huo Shijiu only saw Jiang Wu in his eyes now, and nothing else. Even if he was sitting next to him, trying to persuade him to stay, he still put on airs and looked like he had given up.

The heart of the person who has been loyal to him since he was a child is no longer in him...

The little emperor began to feel panicked.

The topic came to an end, just as the tune changed, a woman in a colorful dance costume came with a feather fan in her hand.

Because the words were not speculative, everyone simply pretended to watch the performance.

Jiang Wu ate the fruit, admiring the woman's light and agile dancing posture, secretly thinking that if such a dance didn't have some effort to lighten the body, she might not be able to dance with such an elegant effect.

Just thinking like this, out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly saw a silver light flashing under the handle of the feather fan when the woman turned around.

She immediately felt something was wrong, stood up and said, "There are assassins!"

At the same time, the woman had covered her dagger with her fan, flew towards her, and she was right in front of the little emperor.
