rebirth will be hard to find

After the Shoutao incident, the atmosphere in the entire Xuande Hall became much more depressed.

Originally, there were many imperial clans like Ning Ya who had prepared birthday gifts and wanted to show their faces in front of the old emperor, but how dare they show their faces at this time?One by one, they put away all the prepared birthday presents, then buried their heads and crouched aside to pack the quails, not even daring to secretly look up at the old emperor's face.

When the emperor is angry, he can bleed for thousands of miles.Even though it was only King Qi who was demoted, and the birthday peach was smashed without even seeing blood, no one dared to relax at this time.The clans of the younger generation shrank back, but the ministers couldn't shrink back and not offer birthday gifts, so they could only bite the bullet one by one and stood up, offering the birthday gifts they had prepared in fear.

Chu Yi stood aside with lowered eyebrows, not feeling nervous or afraid, but a little funny in her heart: During the Longevity Festival, she had heard too much flattery, whether it was for her or for the old emperor, like this Quietly offering a birthday present, this is the first time she has seen her.

Finally, the last minister also offered a birthday gift.The old emperor was not of a violent nature, so even though he was in a bad mood and didn't say a word during the whole process, he didn't find fault with these ministers.Apart from the embarrassing quietness throughout the whole process, the birthday ceremony was passed safely - except that King Qi was unlucky and was demoted.

"Let's set up a banquet." The old emperor's deep voice came from above, with no emotion.

Palace people poured into the main hall, and the ministers sat down behind the tables on both sides in an orderly manner just like the previous palace banquets.

Chu Yi's seat was still taken by the prince. She glanced casually before she sat down, and saw many people secretly raising their hands and holding their sleeves to wipe their sweat.As for King Qi, who was supposed to sit opposite the prince, his seat was moved down a lot because of his demotion.His face was extremely ugly, but at the moment, Zhao Wang, who was sitting on the lower right side, had a somewhat smug look on his face.

It's just a position, and moving the seat up by one position will not increase his power in the slightest, so what's there to be happy about?Moreover, King Zhao seemed to be complacent too early, turning around, he and King Wei would be unlucky too!

Chu Yi curled his lips, with two points of disdain in his eyes.

Things like palace banquets will become boring after a lot of experience, even the singing and dancing seems to be the same, nothing to watch.At that time, Chu Yi still had a hobby of looking at beauties. He could stare at people even if he didn’t watch the dances of those dancers—everyone who could perform songs and dances at the palace banquet in Xuande Palace was not a beauty. Even if the empress is picky, she can always find someone who catches her eye.

It's a pity that since Cheng Zian, although Chu Yi still prefers beauties, he will never take the initiative to look for them again.She glanced at the dancers lightly, picked up the wine glass in front of her and took a small sip, but she felt even more bored.

After thinking for a while, Chu Yi slightly moved his body closer to the prince, and then asked in a low voice: "Brother Huang, is there still something exciting to watch?"

His Royal Highness had a gentle smile on his face, and he gave Chu Yi a funny look: "Why, do you feel bored again?"

Chu Yi nodded lightly: "It's quite boring. The palace banquet has already started, why haven't there been any movements in the two memorials you showed me yesterday?"

The prince also raised the wine cup and took a sip, he chuckled: "Ah Yi, you are really impatient. If you want to watch the excitement, you need to be patient."

Chu Yi's eyes lit up when he heard it, and he nodded quickly. Looking at the "cookie-cutter" singing and dancing in front of him, he found it much more interesting.

King Qi... Oh, no, it was about Prince Changping, she didn't think it was a coincidence.Even though Ning Ya looked weak, which of the daughters of the Chu family could not hold a horse or a bow, so how could she not even be able to hold a birthday peach?And on such an occasion, how dare she make such a mistake? !After the palace banquet was over, the Changping County King calmed down and thought about it after returning, and he could figure it out himself.

However, Chu Yi did not expect that the old emperor was so grand today that it was not enough to move the Changping County King, and he would not let Zhao Wang and Wei Wang go.Two years ago, he knew that there were ghosts in the palace, so he didn't dare to touch these vassal princes, but now he let go of his hands and feet, but he didn't know if he could hit them with one blow.

While thinking about it, Chu Yi unknowingly drank several glasses of wine.She doesn't drink alcohol often, even though it's just a few glasses, it's enough to make her fair cheeks blush, but a pair of dark eyes are getting brighter and brighter.

"Ayi, drink less, lest you get drunk when the fun starts." The crown prince reminded him, then shook his head lightly and smiled, "Why didn't you bring Cheng Zian here today? I remind you of this."

Chu Yi subconsciously turned his head to look behind him, but he was assigned an unfamiliar clan.Seeing her turn around, the man smiled and nodded to say hello, Chu Yi had no choice but to nod slightly, and then turned back: "I also want to bring her here, but didn't the emperor yesterday say that today may not be peaceful? My other companion, Li Lin, is always outspoken, and I was afraid that bringing him here would cause trouble, and it would be too conspicuous to bring only Zi'an..."

The two brothers and sisters were talking, and the singing and dancing in the hall came to an end, and there was a brief silence.However, at this moment, a loud voice broke the peace in the hall: "Your Majesty, I have a book to play!"

The wine glass he picked up froze in mid-air, and the dishes picked up by the chopsticks fell on the table. The whole Xuande Hall was so quiet that a needle could be heard on the ground for a moment.

Is this morning?This is a palace banquet, a palace banquet for the Longevity Festival!Why must the book be played at this moment in a hurry?Can't we wait until tomorrow morning? !

The thing about Shoutao being thrown before still left people with lingering fears. Even though the old emperor hadn't had a seizure, everyone knew that he couldn't be in a good mood right now.Who is so stupid that he has to come out to perform at this time?Is it to show that you are dedicated to serving the public or what? !

Someone glanced at the person who stood up holding the memorial, and then his face turned green—that was Qin Yan, the imperial historian, with the same temper as his name, so hard that one wanted to bite and was afraid of snapping his teeth !

Yushitai is in charge of monitoring, and when this lord opens his mouth, it is likely that someone is going to be unlucky.Moreover, His Majesty is in a bad mood now, and who knows which unlucky guy fell into Qin Yan's place, and if he doesn't die today, he will have to peel off his skin!

Chu Yi glanced at Qin Yan, but frowned slightly.This Mr. Qin has a straight temper, and he is in an offending position like Yushi. When she ascended the throne in her previous life, this person had already been deposed, and ended up "suicide in fear of crime".She didn't remember what crime Qin Yan was accused of and who got him out of power, but from the current point of view, if he got involved in the feudal prince's affairs, he might end up with a bad ending!

Sure enough, under the fire-breathing, fearful, helpless, or regretful eyes of the crowd, Qin Yan came to the center of the hall holding two memorials, and repeated in a firm voice: "Your Majesty, I have a book to play!"

After a short silence, the old emperor who sat high on the dragon chair seemed to choose to deal with government affairs, and asked, "What's the matter?"

Qin Yan, a servant serving in the Xuande Hall, took the memorial and walked to the front of the hall with small steps. Liu Xi took it in person and presented it to the old emperor.

At the same time, Qin Yan also opened his mouth: "Your Majesty, I want to participate in the murder of King Zhao's slaves and rob people's daughters!"

As soon as he finished speaking, King Zhao's eyes were about to burst into flames, and his eyes flew towards Qin Yan like knives.

However, Qin Yan was unmoved at all, and he continued firmly: "Your Majesty, I want to join the king of Wei in enclosing land for no reason and occupy the people's land by force!"

As soon as the words fell, the smile that had just appeared on King Wei's face froze immediately, and his face was even uglier than that of King Zhao.

Thinking of the old emperor's unhappy mood at the moment, the two princes couldn't sit still and stood up together.

Zhao Wang shouted: "Your Majesty, I have been wronged, please look into it!"

The King of Wei also said: "Your Majesty, there is no evidence and no evidence, Master Qin is talking nonsense!"

The old emperor was still flipping through the memorial, and didn't say anything for a while, but his face was really not very good-looking.But Qin Yan, after hearing King Wei's words, took out a thick stack of paper from his sleeve: "Your Majesty, I have evidence!"

The little servant who took the memorial took away the stack of papers again, and Liu Xi presented it.

The old emperor was not quick to read the memorials, but he was extremely fast when he looked at the evidence, and his face became more and more ugly. Finally, he got off the dragon chair and came in person with the two memorials and a stack of evidence. In front of King Zhao and King Wei, he threw these things fiercely on their faces: "You still have the face to complain? Look at the good things you have done!"

The two of them naturally didn't dare to make any big moves. They caught the memorial, but pages of paper with so-called evidence were scattered all over the floor.They didn't dare to pick it up. They opened the memorial and glanced at it casually, and their faces were extremely ugly. They glanced at the evidence on the ground again, but they couldn't tell the difference for a while.

Chu Yi was very curious. She had seen the memorial, but she hadn't seen the evidence on the ground, and she didn't know what was written on it, which made these two rather arrogant vassals unable to say a word. come out.She couldn't help stretching her neck to look, but because of the distance, she couldn't see anything. She could only catch a glimpse of the densely written things on the paper, some of which had red fingerprints on them.

The atmosphere in the entire hall seemed to freeze, and no one dared to make any sound.The ministers exchanged glances with each other, to see if they were going to kneel down again and say "Your Majesty, appease your anger" three times, but on the Longevity Day, if you sing like this twice, your Majesty will be even more angry, right?

No one dared to speak, and no one dared to intercede. Chu Yi was very happy to watch the excitement, but he was a little curious because he couldn't see the evidence on the ground.She wanted to pull the prince to let him show her the evidence later, but now the hall is so quiet, she dare not speak.

Finally, King Wei opened his mouth with an ugly face, but his mouth was stiff: "Your Majesty, this is a false accusation by the unscrupulous people, please check it out!"

Upon hearing this, King Zhao hurriedly echoed: "That's right, Your Majesty, this is all a false accusation! My brother was born as a prince, and now he is also a feudal lord. What kind of beauty has never been seen before? How can he make a crime of robbing people?" It's a girl thing, that's not a fairy!"

The hall was quiet, and I didn't know who it was. Suddenly, I muttered something in a low voice, which was heard in everyone's ears: "You didn't rob someone, so how do you know that she is not a fairy-like girl?"

The author has something to say: Congratulations to His Highness the Crown Prince for living a hundred chapters! ! !
