Qiao Yi

Qiao Yi put the cup back on the table and saw that Xie Yin's cup was also empty.

By raising their sleeves to cover up just now, the two of them did not drink the wine in the glass. Fortunately, the sleeves of the clothes they were wearing were very wide, and the sleeves blocked others from seeing whether they really drank.

The maid standing beside them stepped forward and filled their glasses with wine.Qiao Yi observed the expression of the maid who was pouring the wine, and saw that the maid's expression was the same, and the hand that poured the wine did not shake, guessing that their wine should not have been changed by this maid, otherwise the maid's pouring hand would not be so steady, Look so calm.

Today, there were hundreds if not thousands of people who came to the palace banquet. There were also countless court ladies and eunuchs in the middle of the banquet. The people in the middle came and went, and it was too easy to change the wine on their tables.

As for who ordered people to tamper with their wine, it is not difficult to guess who is His Highness King Ming's enemy.But they have no evidence to prove that the drinks on their table were tampered with by some people. This is really too difficult.

But today I met him, and I wanted to do something in their food without being noticed, but, how could it be possible!

"Father, my son will perform a sword dance for you."

"woman.,,

With the gifts from King Ming and King An earlier, King Ning's sword dance seemed a little flat.

But because the emperor has always loved this son very much, even if this son just came forward to say a few good words and didn't give anything away, the emperor would be very happy, not to mention that the youngest son really went to learn a lesson for him seriously. Jian Wu, in the eyes of the emperor, this son is really caring and filial.

"Your Majesty, the sword dance that Ning'er prepared for you has been practiced for more than a month, every morning and evening in the courtyard, the concubine has never seen Ning'er be so persistent and persistent for one thing. Concubine Xiao Gui didn't want her youngest son to feel unbalanced, so she went to the emperor's side and told the emperor about his youngest son's efforts to prepare for this sword dance.

"Okay, okay, Ning'er also has rewards." Emperor Hong never had high demands on his youngest son, as long as he was obedient and well-behaved.

Hearing that he was also rewarded, Xie Ning thanked happily, "Thank you, father." He handed the long sword to the maid next to him, and returned to his seat.

Seeing the youngest son was happy, Concubine Xiao Gui was naturally happy too, and whispered a few words with the emperor, probably talking about the youngest son.

With a smile on his face, the emperor took Concubine Xiao Gui's hand and patted it.

After Xie Ning, other princes and princesses came forward to celebrate the emperor's birthday, some prepared a small gift, and some prepared a talent show.But it can be seen that the gifts that the emperor gave to the little princes and princesses behind were not very big.

joy.

The concubines sitting below saw Concubine Xiao Gui who was sitting next to the emperor, and they were all jealous of Concubine Xiao, but everyone hid their jealousy very well.If they want to live well in this deep palace, they must know how to cover up their thoughts and thoughts, otherwise they will be the next one to die.

From Qiao Yi's point of view, he really felt that except for Xie An and Xie Ning, the other sons and daughters were all picked up by the emperor. This difference in treatment was too obvious.As far as appearance is concerned, among all the princes, King An Xie An looks the most like the emperor, with a face that is sharp and angular. Although it is not ugly, it is definitely not good-looking!

Among all the princes, that Ning Wang Xie Ning looks like the Concubine Xiao Gui above, Concubine Xiao Gui's appearance is not bad, Xie Ning's appearance is very good.King An and King Ning stood together, and in terms of appearance, they didn't look like brothers at all.

As for the man next to him, he should look like the dead Queen Dugu, what?It's okay!Qiao Yi thought in her heart.

"Master Guoshi is here." The palace people outside shouted.

"Please come soon." As soon as he heard that the national teacher was coming, the emperor hurriedly asked the palace staff to invite the national teacher to come in.

The national teacher in a white Taoist robe drifted over, and when he walked into the hall, everyone's eyes fell on the national teacher.

Most of the ministers in the DPRK have met this national teacher.Seven years ago, when the emperor wanted to set up a national teacher, some ministers also jumped out to oppose it, but the emperor insisted on setting up a Daoist priest as the national teacher, and because of this, he cut off the two most objecting officials, which served as an example to others. Officials jumped out again to object.

But later everyone saw that the national teacher was only in the Taoist temple all day long, even if he did not interfere with the government, nor did he do something all day long. On the contrary, the national teacher can really measure the destiny and accidents, and gradually some people Began to believe that this national teacher is really a Taoist priest from the mountains, who came to protect their immortals from the Great Yan Dynasty.

"National teacher?" Is that the magic stick who gave Xie Yin orders and approved him to Xie Yin?Qiao Yi looked at the national teacher standing above the main hall

, What a big stick!Being able to fool the emperor and all the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, and even the common people outside are admiring this national teacher, I think this national teacher is also a powerful figure.

Regarding the origin and legend of this national teacher, he only heard about it when he was drinking tea in a teahouse not long ago.

In this way, the emperor believed that the national teacher was really a fairy from the mountains?Have you ever doubted the identity and origin of this national teacher? Qiao Yi reached out and touched the bridge of his nose, and felt that the emperor sitting on it was the biggest fool among all of them. It is really fate that the emperor can live till now.

Xie Yin narrowed his eyes and looked at the national teacher standing above the hall. He knew why the national teacher appeared here.

"It took seven to 49 days for me to practice a golden pill. This golden pill can cure hundreds of poisons. Ordinary people can strengthen their bodies after eating it. Today is the emperor's birthday. I specially put this golden pill Send the pill to the emperor." Master Xuanming took out a brocade box from his bosom and presented it to the emperor.

"Quickly, go and bring it up to Zhen." The emperor ordered someone to bring the golden elixir up to him.The little eunuch went down, took the brocade box and went up to the emperor.Emperor Hong opened the brocade box and took out a golden elixir from the box. The emperor showed the elixir to everyone, laughed and said, "Master, you have a heart, and you will always remember me."

Qiao Yi looked at the things in the emperor's hands, and hehehe in his heart, he didn't know if it was a good medicine or a poison that could really strengthen the body.As far as he knew, the elixirs practiced by these Taoist priests in ancient times all added a lot of heavy metals to them. He really hadn't heard of any emperor who could live a long life by taking drugs!

However, it should be a blessing to the people that such a stupid emperor can die early?

State teacher, work harder, practice more pills and give them to the emperor, it is best to let the emperor be able to take drugs and kill himself earlier~

The emperor carefully put the golden elixir back into the box, "Master Guoshi, please take a seat."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, I don't like worldly affairs, so I appreciate the emperor's kindness." Xuanming Daoist, with a strong sense of immortality, does not associate with ordinary people, declined the emperor's kindness, and left in a hurry.

Qiao Yi almost applauded, this great master... really put on a good trick13!

Seeing the master of the national teacher leave, Hu Tingyun snorted in his heart, and a little sarcastic smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.Lu Chongbu lowered his voice, and said angrily: "You still think we are worldly people? We are not worldly people, so don't we all become gods?... He really thinks he is a god himself!" He said just now that the national teacher disliked them as worldly people and was unwilling to be with mortals like them.

Hu Tingyun glanced at Lu Chongbu indifferently, but did not answer Lu Chongbu's words.

The arrival and departure of the national teacher was just a short episode in the birthday banquet, which did not affect the progress of the emperor's birthday banquet.

After everyone's offerings were over, the banquet officially began.

The maid served the food and wine, and the king and his ministers drank and had fun together.

The dishes on the palace banquet had already been prepared. Although the dishes were made by the royal chefs in the imperial dining room, the dishes themselves were good, but they had been left for so long, and by this time they were all cold when served.Looking at the dishes on the table, Qiao Yi didn't have any appetite. He had thought that he would have a good meal at the palace banquet, but now it seemed that he might be disappointed.

In order to participate in the palace banquet today, they entered the palace very early. They didn't eat anything at first, and they were already hungry at this moment, but this dish really made people feel a little uneasy.

Picking some of the cold dish with the chopsticks in his hand, and putting it in his mouth, Qiao Yi looked at the man beside him and told him with his eyes that their dish was fine.

The sound of the "dong dong" drum sounded, and a group of dancers with pipas in their arms and light veils appeared on the drums. The women's figure was graceful, dancing with the sound of the music, playing the pipa in their hands.The dancer in the middle is wearing a red dress, with a piece of cinnabar between her eyebrows, she is the most outstanding dancer in this group. The pair of eyes exposed by the girl are extremely beautiful, and every frown and smile makes people addicted to it.

Facing the emperor sitting on the dragon chair, the dancer secretly sent a glance towards her, the corners of her mouth curled up into a smile, the dancer's feet spun, her pockets fluttered, and she was so ecstatic.

"Beautiful, beautiful, extremely beautiful!" The emperor looked at the woman with an intoxicated look on his face.

Sitting beside the emperor, Concubine Xiao Gui's eyes were red with anger, just now someone sent two beauties to the emperor, now where did these goblins come from?Everyone tried their best to seduce the emperor, it is really unreasonable!

At this moment, Concubine Xiao Gui wished to kill all the goblins who seduced the emperor!

Qiao Yi, who was sitting below, saw the expression on the emperor's face, and she clicked her tongue twice in her heart. No matter what, she was the king of a country, and she didn't know how to cover it up.

Looking at Concubine Xiao's distorted face, Qiao Yi's mouth curled up into a smile, saying that the emperor loves Concubine Xiao the most, I'm afraid it may not be true, the group of women sitting opposite is the best evidence, saying that the emperor loves Concubine Xiao the most It's nonsense.But Concubine Xiao can seduce

The emperor has spoiled her for so many years, this woman is indeed a bit capable.

"Where are you going?" Xie Yin asked when he saw the young man next to him about to get up.

Qiao Yi smiled and said, "Oh, I want to go to the bathroom."

Xie Yin was worried that the little princess would run away or something happened, so he asked the maid who followed him to take the boy down.Qiao Yi said, "I'll be back soon after I go," and then went out with the maid who led the way.

I went to the latrine, turned a corner and came back, just in time to see a little eunuch holding a tray with a wine jug in his hand.Qiao Yi walked over to the little eunuch, and "accidentally" bumped into the little eunuch, almost knocking over the jug in other people's hands

Fortunately, he "reacted quickly" and helped the little eunuch hold the jug on the tray, so that the jug didn't fall to the ground.

Before the little eunuch could open his mouth to curse, the maid who followed him scolded: "How do you walk? Don't you even look at such a big road?"

"I I I..."

"You you you, you what you?"

Facing the maid who was more fierce than himself, seeing that the wine in his hand was not spilled, the little eunuch dared not speak up, so he hurried away with the tray.Seeing that the little eunuch had left, the maid asked with concern if the leading young master had been hit. Seeing that the young master was fine, she led the young master back to the main hall.

The corner of Qiao Yi's mouth twitched into a smile, the pill held between his fingers was gone...

Returning to his seat and sitting down, Qiao Yi happened to see the palace maid replacing the flagon on Wang An's table, and he tried his best to control the corners of his mouth not to turn up.Seeing the young man came back, Xie Yin glanced at the young man and noticed that his little concubine seemed a bit out of sorts when she came back from a trip?

At this moment, Concubine Xiao Gui mentioned about King An's marriage, and said, "Your Majesty, didn't you say that you want to give An'er a marriage? The concubine sees that today is a good day, and the wives and young ladies from all the prefectures in the capital are here. Here, if we take advantage of today, let's settle An'er's marriage, and settle a matter between you and your concubine, Your Majesty, what do you think?"

"An'er's marriage should be finalized." The emperor nodded and said.

When the wives and ladies below heard Concubine Xiao's talk about giving a marriage to King An, everyone looked at the Emperor and Concubine Xiao one after another. Everyone was concerned about which girl the Emperor and Concubine Xiao had taken a fancy to. Which family's girl would the emperor point out to King An, everyone was praying in their hearts, hoping that the emperor and Concubine Xiao would choose their girl.

Some of the little girls here looked at King An shyly and timidly, hoping in their hearts that they could be chosen by Concubine Xiao Gui and King An

The emperor glanced down, and finally looked at his son, and asked: "An'er, tell your father, do you have a girl you like in your heart? Can you sit here today?"

"Your Majesty, marriage is the order of your parents. How can An'er understand these things? An'er's marriage is up to you, Your Majesty." When Concubine Xiao heard what the emperor said, she was afraid that her son would really choose someone she didn't like. In case the emperor really gave her son something that she was not satisfied with, what would happen then?

She made a lot of calculations, just wanting her son to marry someone who can help him in the future.What's the use of liking?When the time comes to sit on the position of prince, and then sit on the dragon chair, what else can't be obtained in this world?Concubine Xiao Gui winked at her son.

Xie An obviously didn't expect his father to ask him such a question, he was stunned for a moment before reacting, and said: "My son's marriage is up to father and mother." He had someone he liked, and that person was also sitting here Above the main hall, but that person is not the one he should marry.

He understood from a young age that if he wanted to sit in that position, he had to take every step carefully and take every step well, so he absolutely didn't allow himself to make a mistake.The mother and son have worked hard for so many years, and they must not fall short at this time.
