After coming down the mountain, I was pampered by two emperors!
Chapter 18 The imperial concubine is a rat spirit
Mei Xichen and Shangguan Qing came to the main hall hand in hand. After bowing and bowing, they sat on opposite sides with King Kang.
At this time, Shangguan Qing had already recognized that the person opposite was King Kang, but she remained calm, and then Mei Xichen introduced her to the side.
The emperor was the first to speak: "Today's banquet is to make up for the fact that I was not present to congratulate King Jingyang on his wedding. By the way..."
After saying this, he asked Eunuch Wei to give Shangguan Qing the box he was holding.
"Take it, Princess. This is the wish of the Emperor and the Imperial Concubine." Eunuch Wei walked up to Shangguan Qing, opened the box and handed it to Shangguan Qing.
"Thank you, Your Majesty and the Imperial Concubine, for the reward." Shangguan Qing stood up, took the box and looked at it.
"Aren't these jade beads produced in the Western Regions, is this all? There are many in my cave, and you mortals only regard them as treasures." After all, I couldn't say what I was thinking, so Shangguan Qing still looked flattered.
"Come, our king and his ministers will not return until they are drunk today." The emperor said with a happy smile.
At this time, Shangguan Qing took a quick look and saw that the imperial concubine was very strange. There was a black aura surrounding her on both sides, so she thought of a way. She saw that she deliberately exposed the bracelet on her wrist. It was inlaid with a purple round crystal, which was not big in size. It was pointed at the imperial concubine's face. Shangguan Qing looked at the crystal, and a mouse immediately appeared in front of Shangguan Qing.
Shangguan Qing is a person who has seen the big world. She did not say anything, but just breathed a sigh of relief, as if she had found the answer to her suspicion just now.
Shangguan Qing's move was not noticed by everyone present, including Mei Xichen. She also did not want him to know for the time being to avoid Mei Xichen from getting to the bottom of it. She felt that the noble concubine of the country was a rat, which was too much. Too ridiculous.
Seeing as its demonic aura is so strong, it should be just the result of hundreds of years of cultivation, but... Shangguan Qing fell into deep thought.
"No, how can such a shallow Taoist person transform into a human form and accompany the king day and night without being discovered by everyone?"
"Could it be that some external force was used?" Shangguan Qing frowned, unable to figure out the mystery.
"This rat spirit cannot move for the time being. There must be a powerful character behind him."
"What's wrong with Qing'er? Do you not like today's occasion?" Mei Xichen's question interrupted Shangguan Qing who was deep in thought.
"It's nothing, I just seemed to have caught a cold when I came out." Shangguanqing touched his head, indicating that Mei Xichen had a headache.
"Then I tell the emperor that we should go back right away!" Mei Xichen held Shangguan Qing's shoulder and whispered in a low voice.
"No, it's not a big deal." After saying that, Shangguan Qing smiled.
At this time, King Kang looked at Shangguan Qing and felt that she was really pretty, but he didn't notice any difference. Could it be that he was worrying too much? So he gave Concubine Xue a look.
Concubine Xue understood King Kang's intention and raised the wine glass in her hand.
"The prince and the princess are really a talented and beautiful couple, a perfect match. I heard that the princess is also proficient in medical skills?"
"Reporting to the noble concubine, I only understand a little bit." Shangguan Qing stood up and said.
"Where is the princess' family from? Where did she learn from it?" Concubine Xue asked again.
"My concubine's family lives in the border area, far away from the capital. I'm afraid I have never heard of the noble concubine and her daughter's body, let alone been there. As for my disciples..." Shangguan Qing paused and continued.
"My concubine's home is surrounded by mountains. I only know a little about herbal medicine, but I have never been a disciple." Shangguan Qing answered word by word.
Concubine Xue couldn't ask anything at first sight, so she smiled awkwardly and drank the glass of wine.
Then she looked at King Kang again, which meant there was nothing I could do.
Speaking of this, everyone may be confused. Since Shangguan Qing was able to discern that Concubine Xue was a monster from the beginning, and then saw through the crystal that she was transformed by a rat spirit, then why was the imperial concubine unable to discern Shangguan Qing? What's the details?
In fact, the shallower the Dao Xing is, the easier it is to be discovered. Take Shangguan Qing, she has nearly a thousand years of skill. Although she uses the inner elixir to help Mei Xichen get rid of the insect poison, it will consume her internal strength, but she is not a hundred-year-old mouse. What Jing can detect is that only someone with a higher emotional level than Shangguan can see through her true identity.
Just as Shangguan Qing's mind was racing, she noticed that Concubine Xue's face was turning black and white for a while, as if she was about to act. She pretended to be an ordinary person and tried not to look directly at her.
"Oh, Your Majesty, I'm too drunk and a little dizzy. I want to leave first." Concubine Xue pressed her hands on her temples and whispered.
"Since my beloved concubine is too drunk, go back to the palace to rest. I am here." The emperor looked at Concubine Xue and said.
Then the maid on the side helped Concubine Xue towards the backyard.
After a while, Mei Xichen felt that it was getting late, and she was worried that Shangguan Qing was not feeling well, so she quickly found an opportunity to resign to the emperor. The emperor looked at Shangguan Qing helplessly, feeling very reluctant and helpless.
"Okay, I'll be here today. I'll host a banquet for you all again another day." The emperor said with unfinished meaning.
Everyone bowed and left.
After walking out of the palace, Mei Xichen and Shangguan Qing got on the carriage back to the palace.
"Is the prince worried about my health, so he hurriedly said goodbye to the emperor?"
"Yes and no." Mei Xichen said angrily.
"Yes or no? What does this mean? Let me hear it, Your Majesty." Shangguan Qing asked doubtfully.
"I am indeed worried about the princess's health. More importantly, I can't bear the way the emperor and Prince Kang look at you." Mei Xichen replied through gritted teeth.
"Your Majesty, did you eat something wrong?" Shangguan Qing tilted his head and looked at Mei Xichen, who was sitting upright, and said with a smile.
"Yes, I was just jealous and overturned the jealousy vat." Mei Xichen said angrily.
"Now that this is good, if there are such banquets again in the future, why don't you just say that I am not feeling well and not attend." Shangguan Qing teased Mei Xichen and said.
"The princess is right, I won't participate in this kind of thing in the future if I can." As she said that, Mei Xichen took Shangguan Qing into her arms.
"Are you cold?" Mei Xichen asked with concern, while holding Shangguanqing's little hand in his own, trying to warm it up.
While Shangguan Qing was teasing Mei Xichen, his mind turned to the rat that became a spirit.
She thought to herself: "Just now she looked like she couldn't hold on anymore, so she ran away in a hurry to see someone or what? I have to investigate all the questions again, just in case he appears. It’s not good for the prince…”
But he turned around and thought again, "Forget it, don't think about it so much now. After this month, I will wait until the prince's insect poison has been eliminated and then I will find out. This rat spirit must have been in the palace for a long time, and it won't be there for the time being." What a big fuss is going on."
Thinking about Shangguan Qing, she fell asleep in Mei Xichen's arms.
At this time, Shangguan Qing had already recognized that the person opposite was King Kang, but she remained calm, and then Mei Xichen introduced her to the side.
