I was forced to marry

Free from court today.

Early in the morning, Xiao Yue was invited into the palace by the queen to have breakfast with Emperor Jingwen.During the banquet, it could be seen that Emperor Jingwen was in a good mood. Although the purpose of the three kingdoms coming together was not pure, it was his birthday after all.It can't be called unhappy.

The family of three happily ate breakfast, to be honest, these days they often eat with the emperor and empress, Xiao Yue has gotten used to it from being cramped at the beginning and not being able to eat enough.

The empress treated him really well, especially the empress, who loved him so much that she would greet him every day without saying anything, and whenever she had something good, she would rush to send it to him. Knowing that her son was the honorable Crown Prince of the Eastern Palace, she was afraid that he would be missing What, what's missing.

Xiao Yue, who had never enjoyed any family affection in his previous life, was able to make up for him when he came here. Perhaps this was the only benefit that Brother Yan Wang gave him.

"Yue'er." Emperor Jingwen called out affectionately, and pulled back Xiao Yue's freedom, "Last year you gave my father a pair of jade pillows that can soothe my nerves, and my father used them to great effect. What?"

"This year is different from last year, and the ceremony of my son and minister will naturally make my father more happy than last year. It's just that I have to keep it a secret before the birthday celebration." Said, Xiao Yue also made a speech to Emperor Jingwen in accordance with his age. Jiao.The emperor and empress who were watching laughed dotingly together.

"It will be twelve in a few months, why are you still so unsteady." The queen reprimanded her, but her smile did not diminish.

"The queen is worrying too much. Yue'er is so good that I feel kind and like an ordinary father. It's not like King Cheng and the others, who see me and a mouse seeing a cat. It's just that you don't lose your prince status to the outside world. "

Xiao Yue responded with a smile. Since he came to this big week, he has found out the temper of the previous prince, not to mention, he is very similar to himself. The game is over.

"emperor."

The three of them were continuing to eat when Dexi, Emperor Jingwen's personal eunuch, came in with a fly whisk.

"What's the matter, didn't you see that I was having dinner with the empress and prince?" Emperor Jingwen looked at him a little hesitantly.

"Your servant is guilty." Dexi responded, and Emperor Jingwen put down his silver chopsticks, "What's the matter?"

Dexi didn't say a word, just stood below with a bow, raised his eyes to look at Emperor Jingwen.

Emperor Jingwen frowned, "I'll go first, you take your time, it's still early."

The queen didn't take it seriously, and got up with a smile to see her off.Xiao Yue also stood up, and glanced at Dexi inadvertently.

"What are you preparing for this year?" After Emperor Jingwen left, the queen pulled Xiao Yue to sit down and asked with a smile.

"The things that the emperor likes."

"Even your mother's queen, are you trying to keep me?" The queen said, without asking any further questions, she took a steamed bun for Xiao Yue and asked, "Is Shaojin back?"

"not yet."

The queen sighed, "This year is no different than in previous years. Although it is not important that the princes of the Three Kingdoms come together, the queen mother is always in a state of anxiety. You don't have a personal protection by your side, so you are not at ease. Luo Hong is also true, I don’t know what to do, but Shaojin has to do it.”

"The queen mother is worrying too much. Although the princes of the Three Kingdoms came together, the troops they brought were all outside the city, and with General Luo present, even if they had any intentions, they would not dare to mess around."

"That's what I said, but my mother was bitten by a snake for ten years and was afraid of Jingsheng. I was afraid that you would have another accident. If it was possible, my mother would like Shaojin to stay by your side all the time, but Yingmen also needs someone. A member of the direct line of the imperial court." The queen said, her eyebrows raised, she regretted that Luo Shaojin could not stay by Xiao Yue's side all the time.

Xiao Yuejue's queen, which pot does not open and which pot to carry, what worries me most every day is that one day my family members will leave me, and it's hard not to be so worried every day. Now that I say it this way, isn't it Let yourself worry again.

I don't know if there is any way to let me and A Luo go together, or keep A Luo by my side.

Xiao Yue thought about it, but she didn't realize that her thinking now seemed to be a little different from when she first came here.

"There will always be others." Xiao Yue responded.

The queen nodded in agreement, saying that Emperor Jingwen had checked Bai Xiyu thoroughly these days, and except for his relationship with Li Yuanjing, the rest was acceptable.It's just that this person always makes people feel uneasy, not like Luo Shaojin's innocent background.

After Xiao Yue heard this, some words were stuck in his throat, but he couldn't tell the queen, so he just responded indiscriminately, and then continued to eat, but pretended to say casually: "Why does the queen mother want to put that old lady in Ye Youting? Mother sent me? In the past, the palace servants sent by my mother were all young and strong."

"Although Nanny Qi is old, she is hard-working. Although she is a sin slave, but the queen mother sees her honesty, and you have said goodbye to her and assigned her to you to take on an errand, she must be thinking of you." Ende, do things in a down-to-earth manner."

Hearing what the queen said, Xiao Yue felt once again that the mother, the queen, had broken her heart for her son.It stands to reason that the person chosen by the queen, even if it is a criminal slave, is appropriate, but...

"What crime has she committed? She can't leave the palace to take care of herself at such an advanced age."

The empress wiped the greasy corners of Xiao Yue's mouth with a towel, "She was served by the late empress dowager, and she was convicted because she offended the empress dowager. It was not a big deal, but no one dared to pardon her because of the empress dowager's decree." , but a slave, it's not a big deal."

Xiao Yue responded casually, as if he had heard some leisure story, without too much reaction.

The mother and son talked together for a while, and in a blink of an eye it was the auspicious time for the celebration.

The prince sent by the Western Jin Dynasty was the eldest son of the Western Jin Emperor, Mu Jue, and along with him was Mu Sheng, whom he hadn't seen since a hasty farewell that day.

But no matter what, he could be regarded as an acquaintance, and Chen Xin, the prince sent by Dongyu who was said to be the weakest but best at using poison and cultivating meticulously, had delicate features and delicate features, and his face was so tender that it was difficult to distinguish between male and female.He was comparable to Bai Xiyu, but lacked a bit of aloofness.

The princes from various countries came forward to greet them, and after saying some polite words, they each presented gifts.There was nothing wrong with the whole process.

After everyone's gifts were delivered, Xiao Yue came out at Dexi's urging, and presented Emperor Jingwen with a bow made of black iron and a set of harness.

Emperor Jingwen loved bows and arrows, and his archery and equestrian skills were top-notch. Before he ascended the throne, he was a teacher of the Wuyi School, specializing in bows and arrows and equestrian skills.

It's just that he has been busy with government affairs since he took the throne, so he seldom touches these things.

Now that Xiao Yue is presenting this gift, it should be more pleasing to Emperor Jingwen than gold, silver, silk, jade and antiques.

But the fact is that Emperor Jingwen's complexion is not as good as expected.Xiao Yue felt it when he first entered the table. Although Emperor Jingwen's face was still as usual, there was a trace of worry wandering on his face.Even the queen on the side saw the bow and the finely crafted harness, and her gentle expression became a little stiff.

Emperor Jing Wen silently looked at the two things Xiao Yue sent up, and his sadness seemed to deepen without showing any trace.But he still opened his mouth and said: "The prince is very much in my heart."

"It's just a bow, arrow and harness. Great Zhou is a huge country. How could the crown prince give such things to the Emperor of Zhou?"

Everyone looked at the speaker, and saw Li Yuanjing put down the wine glass in his hand, met these gazes, and stared at Xiao Yue.

"Gifts depend on your heart and preferences, not on whether something is valuable or not. As long as the emperor likes it, it is the preciousness of those two things."

The corner of Li Yuanjing's mouth curled up into a smile, but he didn't respond, he just looked up at Emperor Jingwen above, and Emperor Jingwen also looked at him.

That gaze made Xiao Yuejue very surprised. In the past, when he talked about Li Yuanjing's hidden danger with Emperor Jingwen, Emperor Jingwen always looked unhappy.But now that he sees himself, he thought he would be even more cold-faced, but Emperor Jingwen's expression is still the same as looking at himself, even now.

Maybe it's because it's not happening right now.

Xiao Yue had doubts in his heart, but he couldn't think of a reason.

"I heard that Emperor Zhou loved hunting the most when he was young. He once joined the Wuyi School, and other people learned to ride and shoot without learning. I think Emperor Zhou misses those days very much." Li Yuanjing said, meeting Emperor Jingwen's gaze.

"Naturally, that time when I was young is the most unforgettable time." Emperor Jing Wen said, his tone was full of reminiscence.

Li Yuanjing smiled, and turned his eyes back to Xiao Yue, with a provocative taste.

At this time, a eunuch's announcement sounded outside the palace gate, "The master of the shadow gate has arrived."

Emperor Jingwen said: "pass".

All the people in the hall stretched their necks out.Xiao Yue had never seen this title either, and it was said that he never participated in these festivals of the court, including the emperor's birthday, except for the first public appearance after the death of the first emperor, he never showed his face in public again.

Xiao Yue was also a little curious about this man who made Luo Shaojin and Bai Xiyu obedient.

The door of the palace opened wide, and a figure came in first, and then, as if against the light, Feng Wei's body followed him a step forward, gradually appearing in the backlight, and when it was fully displayed in front of everyone, Everyone saw him clearly.

He looks handsome and well-maintained. He doesn't look past forty at all, and exudes a wild and unruly aura all over his body, which makes people look up to him.

In modern times, such a person is the image of the campus big brother that high school girls admire most.No wonder both A Luo and Xi Yu obeyed him.

"My lord, congratulations to the emperor, I wish the emperor eternal life and immortality." Feng Wei lifted his clothes and bowed down, his voice was loud and clear, which was comparable to Luo Hong's bell-like voice.

"Secretary." Emperor Jingwen looked at him, his eyes narrowed slightly, his face was hard to figure out, and after a moment's pause, he said calmly: "It's rare that you are willing to step out of the shadow gate and come here to give me a gift from thousands of miles away. Congratulations on your birthday." Emperor Jingwen raised his hand and asked him to stand up and take his seat.

Feng Wei got up, and glanced at Li Yuanjing who was facing him from the corner of his eyes, and Li Yuanjing also met his gaze.

"Is this the head of the Shadow Sect who is known as the largest sect in the Jianghu?"

Li Yuanjing picked up the wine glass and said jokingly.

"King Yan." Feng Wei nodded.

Li Yuanjing raised the corners of his mouth, but his eyes fell on Emperor Jingwen, "I have heard that the Great Zhou Dynasty is a state of etiquette, and everything should be done with courtesy. Although my Southern Chu Kingdom is small, it is still a country. The royal family of Chu has committed a crime, if it is reported to the emperor of Zhou, can it be counted?".

When the words fell, there were whispers of discussion all around.

Feng Wei stared at him, the murderous look in his eyes was also clear at a glance.

"Today, the three kingdoms of us all came to congratulate Emperor Zhou. Firstly, we wanted to show our determination to have a good relationship with Great Zhou. Secondly, this king wanted to seek justice from Emperor Zhou."

"Today is my emperor's birthday banquet, let's talk about other things later." Feng Wei's face was dark, and the fierce light in his eyes was not hidden.

Li Yuanjing didn't care about it, he stood up and went straight to the hall and bowed his hands to Emperor Jingwen, "I, Southern Chu and Da Zhou, don't interfere with each other, but the dead men from the shadow sect killed the son in the womb of my princess, how should this account be settled?"

After saying that, the room was full of uproar.Xiao Yue stared at Li Yuanjing coldly, he wanted to know what Li Yuanjing's purpose was, if he wanted to go back to Bai Xiyu, this method was stupid enough.

However, Emperor Jingwen's reaction was far beyond Xiao Yue's expectation. He thought that Emperor Jingwen knew who and what Li Yuanjing was referring to, so he should react angrily, but Emperor Jingwen said, "Killed your child?"

The tone was very gentle, and even the queen was a little surprised by this uncharacteristic appearance.

"There must be evidence in everything! If my dead man really did this, I will use his life to pay homage to your princess." Feng Wei said, with a serious expression, not joking at all.

Li Yuanjing wouldn't really want to put Xiyu to death, but his words definitely had his purpose.

"My king's eyes are the evidence!" After a pause, Li Yuanjing shouted in a low voice.

Feng Wei laughed out loud, "This kind of evidence is not enough to be called evidence. What's more, the two countries were considered hostile before. Didn't King Yan conspire against my Prince Da Zhou?!"

Li Yuanjing was choked up and had nothing to say. In the eyes of others, even if Da Zhou's slayer killed his child, he would have suffered the loss.

But Xiao Yue knew that this was a tactic he accepted as soon as he saw a good one. Although Li Yuanjing's words were unwilling and his tone was low and angry, the frivolity in his eyes did not escape Xiao Yue's eyes.

Sure enough, when the seal was over, Li Yuanjing said leisurely: "The master of the sect doesn't believe this king's eyes, so why did he send the dead man to Prince Dazhou as a guard?"

As soon as the words fell, the courtiers' discussions erupted loudly.

Yingmen is not allowed to enter the court, and is only loyal to the emperor.This is the only requirement of the courtiers for this Jianghu organization.And this matter was also carried out secretly by Emperor Jingwen, the purpose was only to send someone to protect Xiao Yue.

But what Li Yuanjing said made people think about it.

"King Yan, the visitor is a guest, but if anyone intentionally stirs up my Da Zhou court, the knife in Feng Wei's hand will not recognize him." Feng Wei's tone was dark, his face was full of suppressed anger that was about to erupt.

Xiao Yue has not spoken, he has been observing the expressions of everyone in the hall, everyone is acceptable, but Emperor Jingwen's expression is quite different from usual.

Especially when Feng Wei finished speaking, there was a murderous look in his eyes.

You know, the person Emperor Jingwen trusted the most, besides Luo Hong, was the head of the shadow sect.

Emperor Jingwen yelled to stop the conferment, and the queen hurriedly spoke out to save the situation. After all, today is a day of great joy. If there is a stalemate, it may not be good.

In an instant, the sound of silk and bamboo orchestras came from the hall, and there were singing and dancing.It seems harmonious.

Xiao Yue was thinking secretly, when he raised his head, he suddenly bumped into Li Yuanjing's sight again, his gaze was still dim.

After a while, he smiled, picked up the wine glass as a gesture, and toasted him.Xiao Yue also raised his wine glass to respect each other.

Intuition told Xiao Yue that the purpose of Li Yuanjing's trip was to target himself!And Emperor Jingwen's inadvertent uncharacteristic behavior is also very problematic.

If I don't figure it out, will I really become cannon fodder someday?Or don't figure it out, otherwise it will be cannon fodder faster, and it's better to just be confused like this?
