Chapter 102: (1/2)
Qin Manman waited anxiously for half a month. With her expectation, the Happy Birthday Festival finally arrived as scheduled, and it was held more lively than she had imagined, as if to welcome the winter. Emperor Jing hosted a banquet in the palace, and invited important court officials of rank 4 and above to the banquet and have fun with relatives of the emperor. Qin Manman bit her lip in anxiety. She thought it was just an ordinary family banquet, but she did not expect the scale of this year to be completely beyond her imagination.
But this is the end of the matter. She has no room for maneuver because she has laid ambush a long time ago.
She didn't even know that the envoy she sent out was arrested the next day. In the special prison of the Forbidden Army, he was beaten with a bruised nose and swollen face. Those cartilage heads that were easily bought by money were not at a critical time. When the tall and mighty Forbidden Army guards raised their fists and were about to fall, they screamed: "Slave. Say! The slave says! The slave says everything!"
Fortunately, I confessed all of my family history one to one, and didn't dare to hide it at all. After the confession, it was not too late. The guards of the imperial army sneered and knocked the person down, without the kind of cruel lynching, and the other party was wailing and bleeding. At this time, the palace person whose body hurts to death is on the verge of death, and has already hated Qin Manman, and naturally it is easy to be instigated.
The imperial soldiers just smiled coldly, took their hands contentedly, and said: "Since you know that you are wrong, what should you do? Next, don't you know?"
The palace man fell on the ground and knocked his head banging in spite of his blood. When he was heartfelt, his nose and tears mixed with blood poured out, "The slave knows, the slave knows."
So the dust fell like this, Qin Manman was kept in the dark, without knowing it, and still thinking about his beautiful dream of a concubine. Yin Minglu was also an unaware person. There was a self-directed and self-acted assassination time in the original plot, but the time was a year later. He originally thought that the trajectory of this life had changed, and the heroine would be driven out of the palace next month. The assassination would not be staged, but he was too naive as a result.
At the banquet, he has his own exclusive seat, even because he is a relative of the emperor, he is even ahead of the court minister, in the lower left corner of the emperor.
Xie Wei was in a high position, watching the little guy happily enjoying the banquet, hearing the graceful singing and dancing performance, squinting his black eyes, swaying his head, and admiring the talents of the intoxicated geisha like the male compatriots present; seeing for example a foreign land Those rare and exotic animals, such as peacocks and tigers, have bright lights in their eyes, and they clap their hands in applause from time to time. They seem to be really integrated into the atmosphere of the banquet, and they are very happy.
When did Prince Yun enter the palace, Xie Wei remembers clearly that the other party will appear sooner or later, like the first meeting, obviously shabby, and can't even get a copper coin to reward the next person in his pocket. But his behavior is generous, as if it’s not a big deal. He is neither embarrassed or embarrassed by his own stretches, nor is he fascinated by the handy wealth. He doesn’t take the camp, but still maintains the pure goodness of optimistic life, let him Feeling the confusion, a desire to explore spontaneously arises.
He really thinks that this child is a very good person, and there is also his exclusive way of living under the fence. Occasionally sweet-mouthed to please him, in exchange for the capital to settle down, eat, drink, play, play with flowers and plants every day, go out of the palace if he wants to play, and indulge himself without letting go if he wants to be quiet, completely living his life before ascending the throne. . He once thought about how the other party would deal with himself if he found a cause and sent this child to jail. It must be shocked first, then wronged. Over time, it will calm down, squat in the corner and start counting ants and crawlers, singing with the birds outside the window, and occasionally talking about life with the jailer who has a family. Share a meal to go with, and have a good time and enjoy yourself.
At that time he thought, he can't have such a life, at least he can have such a person. Occasionally there are moments when you want to relax on the tight strings.
Xie Fan had been accustomed to restraint on weekdays, but he couldn't help thinking that that moment was about to come, as if there was a soft cat's tail scratching his heart, making his heart impetuous, almost reaching the limit.
He looked down casually. Because of the cold weather, the child who has not yet reached the crown of His Highness dressed extremely thick, festive and bright red leather jacket, embroidered with thick peony with pink gold silk, carefully sewn, color and lustre Bright and beautiful, with a bright bead dotted on the forehead, setting off the delicate face, it does not appear to be vulgar at all, but reveals a spoiled human wealth.
It can even be said that the most eye-catching person in the audience is him. The child was still like a day for months, without noticing the emperor's gaze, Xie Nian chuckled lightly.
Yin Minglu’s clothes were prepared by Xie Wei. From the small boots with flower and bird pattern to the white fox fur around his neck, plus the beaded felt hat on top of his head, everything fits his aesthetics, but because of the inconvenience, he bowed his head and drank. For a small wine, the beads on the brim of the hat hit together, making a crisp sound.
He was already almost unable to walk, and now he feels his head is big and overwhelmed. Moreover, the clothes were so bright, it seemed that they were afraid that others would not know where Prince Yun was. But the emperor's kindness, he still wants to thank you.
He raised his arm with difficulty, arched his hand to give Xie disliked a glass of wine, and said with a trembling motion: "Brother Xie Huang gave a banquet today, and the courtier gave a toast to Brother Huang."
After Xie Nian raised his head and drank, he returned his affectionate look, and Yin Minglu returned to his seat. He didn't understand the meaning of the look for a long time. Then, before he could figure it out, the wine was in full swing, and suddenly something changed at the climax of the performance!
Among the group of dancers in red in the hall, a few suddenly drew out a sword, and one rushed towards the upper position. The palace was resplendent and magnificent, and the cold light from sharp swords dazzled many people's faces. All the court ladies were so frightened that Huarong was pale and collapsed, screaming loudly in their mouths: "Ahhh, there are assassins!"
