Both the emperor and the empress had arrived, and Ruan Lingguo's teacher and Ruan Lingguo's holy lady had just arrived late. In addition, Ruan Lingguo's holy lady and Xie Jinbai had such rumors, which made it easy for the Ruan Lingguo delegation to attract everyone in the hall as soon as they stepped into the hall. attention.

Everyone looked past Wu Qi, the national teacher of Ruan Ling, who was wearing a blue robe that dragged the floor, and all their eyes fell on the saint who was dressed in a red gauze dress, as gorgeous as a winter flame.

With a graceful figure, it is difficult to see the real face with a veiled face, but just with the pair of scissors and watery eyes exposed, it is not difficult to imagine what kind of alluring appearance is under the veil.

While walking, the bells jingle, and the strange fragrance floats by, which makes people's hearts flutter.

All the officials present had seen the market, so they would not lose their composure, but they couldn't help sighing in their hearts. This saint is worthy of being called the number one beauty of Ruan Lingguo, she is indeed a stunner.

At the same time, there is still a doubt in my heart——

Didn't it mean that this saint became ill because of missing General Xie too much, and her life was hanging by a thread?

Look at this look, it's pretty good.

Could it be that you must cheer up?

After all, today is such a big event as seeing the Holy Majesty.

"Wu Qi, the teacher of the Ruan Ling Kingdom, and Ni, the saint of the Ruan Ling Kingdom. See Your Majesty the Emperor."

Wu Qi's voice is a cold male voice, which makes the saint's voice more soft and melodious.

The civil and military officials cast their eyes on Xie Jinbai, if there was any.

General Xie is not tempted by such a beauty?

Xie Jinbai drank the wine in the glass calmly, turning a deaf ear to everything around him.

"National Teacher, Saintess, please get up."

The internal servant guides the national teacher and Tang Xiaotang's posing as the saint to the seat.

In the country of Ruan Ling, the status of the national teacher and the saint is second only to the monarch of the country of Ruan Ling. Therefore, Wu Qi, the national teacher, was arranged to sit in the first place on the left hand side of the emperor Ji Yunqing. And sit.

In other words, Tang Xiaotang is now sitting diagonally opposite Xie Jinbai, and directly opposite the young prince Tuobaying of Canglan Kingdom.

Ever since Tang Xiaotang took her seat, the officials never took their eyes off her and Xie Jinbai.

The national teacher Wu Qi had already taken his seat, but Tang Xiaotang curtseyed and said softly, "Dear Your Majesty Dongqi, I would like to change seats with Prince Tuoba, or add a table so that I can sit next to General Xie." I don't know if His Majesty Dongqi can complete Nishang?"

A pair of black eyes looked generously at the emperor sitting on the dragon chair.

If it were a woman from Dongqi, all the officials would probably have to frown, but when this word came from the saintess, none of the officials felt that it was inappropriate at the same time.

Probably, it's because this saint is not their daughter from Dongqi.

Ruan Ling Guoshi Wu Qi frowned, but he didn't say a word.

In the main hall, all the officials looked at each other in blank dismay.

I heard that the status of Ruan Ling's saintess is comparable to that of the national teacher, could it be true?

Since Tuoba Ying sat down, he kept looking for various reasons to toast Xie Jinbai, Ji Yunqing was already unhappy.

If Tuoba Ying and Xie Jinbai get too close, whether it is public or private, it will not be a good thing for him.

Therefore, the request made by the Saintess of Ruan Lingguo can be said to be right in his arms.

Of course, Ji Yunqing had also heard about the incident between Ruan Lingguo's holy daughter and Xie Jinbai.

He and Xie Jinbai have known each other since childhood, and he knew that Xie Jinbai only liked men, so he was not worried about what Xie Jinbai would have with this saint.

"This……"

Ji Yunqing couldn't agree too readily.

He pretended to ponder, thinking, but after listening to Tang Xiaotang's request, Tuobaying stood up and saluted Ji Yunqing, "Sorry, Your Majesty Dongqi, Tuoba has no intention of changing positions for the time being."

Ji Yunqing had no intention of asking Tuoba Ying to get up and change positions, that would be too rude.

It's just that Tuoba Ying's blunt refusal made him quite uncomfortable and displeased.

Not showing it on the face, Ji Yunqing nodded slightly, "Since the little prince has already taken his seat, there is no reason to change his seat."

So he raised his voice and ordered the internal guard next to him to bring another short table over.

Tang Xiaotang thanked softly, "Thank you, Your Majesty Dongqi."

The bell jingled, and Tang Xiaotang, dressed in red, walked to the temporary extra seat and sat beside Xie Jinbai.

When she was seated, the red gauze skirt brushed over Xie Jinbai's cross-legged thighs.

Because of his short body, apart from Xie Jinbai, even Tuobaying who was sitting next to Xie Jinbai did not notice Tang Xiaotang's actions.

Xie Jinbai frowned almost imperceptibly.

Tang Xiaotang sat down calmly.

As soon as he was seated, Tang Xiaotang could smell the strong smell of alcohol on Xie Jinbai's body.

Tang Xiaotang pursed her lips behind the veil. How much wine did this person drink today?

The internal servant announced loudly that Gong Yan had officially started.

Hundreds of officials and envoys from various countries kowtowed, congratulated in unison, and said some auspicious words to the emperor.

The silk and bamboo sounds, and the maid dances gracefully.

Xie Jinbai's eyelids became heavier and heavier.

"Thank you General—"

The scenery in front of me is already full of streamers and shadows, but the eyes that look at people are still clear and calm.

This also makes it extremely easy for people to have the illusion that he is still awake and not half drunk.

Today Tuoba Ying deliberately wanted to get people drunk.

Everyone was admiring the dance. He toasted again, facing Xie Jinbai, and said with a smile, "General Xie, this cup of Tuoba wishes Dongqi mountains and rivers to be eternal, prosperous and strong, and also wishes Dongqi and Canglan the best of Qin and Jin. .”

Tang Xiaotang knew it.

He said, how could Huaiyu's elder brother smell so strong of alcohol, it turned out that it was all poured by Tuoba Ying.

But, why does Tuobaying drink brother Xiaoyu?

Tuoba Ying's every congratulatory speech was related to the diplomatic relations between the two countries, Xie Jinbai naturally couldn't refuse.

Even if Xie Yan was worried about Xie Jinbai's body, he couldn't say anything because of Tuoba Ying's identity.

Xie Jinbai still drank it all in one gulp, without the slightest hint of drunkenness.

Only Tang Xiaotang knew that with this person's drinking capacity, he might be drunk enough to drink.

Because today is Lantern Festival night, apart from singing and dancing to add to the fun, each person is also given a bowl of sesame stuffing and sweet-scented osmanthus for Lantern Festival.

Xie Jinbai used a spoon to slowly sweep away the sweet-scented osmanthus floating on the sugar water, and suddenly said calmly, "Won't the saint take off her veil?"

Xie Jinbai was the center of the dinner, and he hadn't spoken much that night, and now he suddenly spoke, and the target was the saint of Ruan Lingguo, which made everyone present focus on the two of them.

It was also at this time that everyone suddenly realized that this saint didn't seem to have touched her chopsticks tonight?

Tuoba Ying's gaze sank slightly.

He toasted the wine all night, Xie Huaiyu was always indifferent to him, but suddenly took the initiative to talk to the saint of Ruan Lingguo?

Tang Xiaotang knew that it was impossible for Xie Jinbai to become interested in "Niyun Appreciation" all of a sudden. In all likelihood, it was because he broke into the Grand Tutor's Mansion at night on New Year's Eve. Embarrass him.

I was still a little jealous.

Who let brother Huaiyu take the initiative to talk to "Yun Nishang"!

Fortunately, brother Huaiyu said that he naturally likes men, otherwise, he would be jealous of himself.

"General Xie doesn't know something. According to our Ruan Lingguo's rules, whoever makes Yunshang take off the veil willingly will be Nishang's future husband. So, will General Xie still want Nishang to take off the veil?"

Tang Xiaotang's words are really not nonsense.

The saints of Ruan Lingguo do have this rule.

Thanks to this rule, Tang Xiaotang can save a lot of trouble as long as he wears the veil.

"I was being rude, sorry."

"Don't be abrupt. If General Xie insists, Nishang can..."

Tang Xiaotang put his hands next to his ears, making a gesture that he could take off the veil at any time.

"I already have a married wife, thank you saint for your love."

His eyebrows were light, and he rejected the words that sounded like a joke without hesitation.

No matter whether the other party is joking or serious, Xie Jinbai has no intention of having any ambiguity with others.

Those present had more or less heard that Xie Jinbai had married a wife five years ago and that his wife died young.

But among them, none of them had ever seen his wife, and because he had left Yingyang for Beiye five years ago, this was the first time he had heard him mention the so-called hair wife.

It has been five years, and it turns out that General Xie still misses his wife who died young, and even refused the saint of Ruan Lingguo because of his wife who died young?

Tuoba Ying sneered in his heart.

Xie Huaiyu once married?

Lie to whom?

He had inquired about it in Beiye before, but Xie Huaiyu's family had never appeared in the general's residence.

Tang Xiaotang, on the other hand, suddenly heard Xie Jinbai mention his wife, and he was no longer in the mood to joke, and his eyes darkened accordingly.

In the eyes of other people, it is undoubtedly the sad appearance of being hurt by Xie Jinbai.

The palace banquet was about to end, and the emperor and the empress, who were holding the third prince in their arms, had already left the banquet, and the ministers walked out in twos and threes.

Only a small number of ministers are still sitting in their positions.

Xie Jinbai is one of those few people.

Tuobaying didn't notice that Xie Jinbai was drunk at first, but he was the one who complained of feeling unwell after only drinking a glass of wine at the palace banquet last time, but this time he didn't even ask to leave after the banquet ended.

Not only that, even though the banquet was over, with this person's cold temperament, he was still sitting quietly.

Tuoba Ying is not stupid.

After thinking about it for a while, he guessed that Xie Jinbai might have been drunk a long time ago.

It was clearly because he was worried about losing his temper after drinking, that's why he didn't rush to get up.

Signaling with his eyes that Duoba Duo, who came to look for him, should go back first, Tuobaying turned his head and stared at Xie Jinbai leisurely, like a goshawk staring at his prey, "Isn't General Xie leaving?"

Xie Jinbai was indeed drunk.

However, he was not worried about losing his temper after drinking, but he knew very well that with his current physical condition, it would be difficult for him to leave the palace, let alone the hall.

The reason Xie Jinbai sat upright earlier was because he was waiting for his father Xie Yan.

Of course, when he saw his father walking out of the hall with the support of the Minister of Rites, Xie Jinbai knew that he was left behind.

He was also to blame, he hadn't made an appointment to go back with his father before, and his father saw him sitting all the time, so he naturally thought that he didn't want to go back.

"Yeah. Xie wants to sit down again to sober up."

Xie Jinbai said in person that the reason why he didn't leave was to sober up, so Tuoba Ying became uncertain——

Is this person drunk or not?

There were other officials and guards in the hall, Xie Jinbai had no intention of leaving, and it was naturally impossible for Tuoba Ying to take people away forcibly.

He smiled, "So, this king will take his leave first."

Xie Jinbai cupped his hands lightly, "My lord, please—"

The surface is peaceful.

In the end, apart from the internal guard who cleaned up the main hall, there was only Xie Jinbai alone.

Xie Jinbai rubbed his swollen temples, put his hands on the low table and stood up.

He hadn't been this drunk for a long time, and when he got up, his body swayed.

"Fourth son, be careful—"

After going back and forth, Ping An hurriedly threw Fuchen to the little eunuch behind him, and helped Xie Jinbai just in time.

"Thank you, Mr. Ping An."

"Fourth Young Master, you are being polite. Grand Tutor Xie and the Minister of Rites have left the palace together. Let me send you back safely."

"My father-in-law."

Pingan supported Xie Jinbai, and walked out of the hall slowly.

A young eunuch, who looked young, held a palace lantern and walked ahead to light the way.

"Fourth Young Master is still the same as before, overwhelmed by alcohol."

Ping An had a friendly smile on his face as usual, chatting without saying a word.

Most of the time, it was Ping An who spoke, and Xie Jinbai only responded lightly from time to time.

Pingan helped Xie Jinbai through the palace gates.

Xie Jinbai paused.

Ping An turned his head, "Fourth Young Master, what's wrong?"

Xie Jinbai said flatly, "This is not the way out of the palace."

"It seems that Brother Huaiyu is still not drunk enough."

A bright yellow figure came out from behind a palace gate, and Ji Yunqing's handsome features became more dignified and compelling under the reflection of the palace lanterns on the eaves of the palace.

The little eunuch kowtowed in a hurry.

Ping An took the palace lantern from the young eunuch and ordered the little eunuch to step down first.

The little eunuch hurriedly withdrew.

Xie Jinbai thought to himself, he was not drunk enough.

Obviously too drunk.

It was only when he was about to walk in front of Yongding Palace that he realized that this was not the way out of the palace.

Ji Yunqing walked up to Xie Jinbai step by step, "It's already late today, brother Huaiyu drank again, why don't you stay in the palace overnight."

It's not a questioning tone.

Walking into the cold night from the hall where the earth dragon was burning, Xie Jinbai's fingertips were already completely chilled.

He subconsciously wanted to close the crane cloak on his body, and when his fingertips touched the soft fluff, he realized a little dullly that the crane cloak he was wearing today, which his mother personally sewed for him, did not wear that one. The pomegranate crane opened its mouth.

He nodded, "Alright."

"I will help brother Huaiyu in."

Xie Jinbai never refused.

"I didn't expect Brother Huaiyu to remember the way to Yongding Palace."

Yongding Palace was the prince's bedroom before Ji Yunqing ascended the throne.

Ever since Ji Yunqing ascended the throne, Yongding Palace has been unoccupied.

Of course, it is uninhabited, because it used to be the emperor's palace, so it is naturally cleaned by palace people every day.

Holding a palace lantern in hand, Ping An walked at the forefront.

"There are stairs ahead, brother Huaiyu be careful."

Ji Yunqing was not displeased because Xie Jinbai did not answer his words earlier.

He supported Xie Jinbai, gently reminding him to be careful of the stairs ahead.

"Brother Huaiyu, do you still remember? When I was still the crown prince, once, my father gave a banquet in the palace. I was neglected at the banquet. I drank too much. Brother Huaiyu did the same. He helped me back to the palace. , remind me, be careful of the steps of the palace gate—”

The person beside him didn't make a sound, and he didn't know that he had drunk too much wine and didn't want to talk.

Or... She just didn't want to answer his words.

What's more, planning in my heart how to get out at this moment?

Ji Yunqing supported Xie Jinbai, step by step up the steps of the gate of Yongding Palace.

"Father—"

The immature child's voice came from the night.

Ji Yunqing paused suddenly for holding Xie Jinbai's hand.

Ji Yunqing turned around, looked at the queen Gu Zhiwei who was walking towards him with a smile on his face, and the little prince Ji Chu who was only four years old after the new year, "Queen, prince, why are you here?"

After five years of marriage, how could Gu Zhiwei fail to see that although she, the emperor and husband, smiled on her face, the smile never reached her eyes?

Her heart was cold, and the small hand in her hand gave her endless courage. She complained plausibly, "It's not Chu'er, who kept arguing and begging for the father. I couldn't be bothered by him, so I had to ask It’s only now that I’ve found the palace servants. General Xie? What’s wrong with General Xie? But you’re not feeling well?”

As if he noticed Xie Jinbai who was supported by the emperor at this time, Gu Zhiwei asked with concern.

"I drank too much at the banquet, and made the Holy Majesty and the Empress laugh at each other. My minister bid farewell."

The arm naturally broke away from Ji Yunqing's hand, saluted the emperor, bowed and retreated.

The back is rustling, from the beginning to the end, there is no half nostalgia.

Ji Yunqing looked at the queen coldly, "Queen, you have surpassed."

The queen smiled miserably, "Is it considered overstepping if you want to call your husband, who has not returned for a long time, to go back to the palace to rest?"

"I will stay here in Yongding Palace tonight. The Queen will take the Prince back first."

After all, order Pingan to close the gate of Yongding Palace.

The crown prince looked at the closed palace gate, his eyes were red, "Mother, does the emperor dislike Chu'er?"

Gu Zhiwei squatted down, touched the prince's little face that was blown cold by the cold wind, and smiled softly, "It's nothing... Chu'er don't think too much about it."

The conversation between the mother and the son made the noses of the maids behind her sore.

"Cough cough cough-"

Xie Jinbai walked alone in the dark palace.

There are many walls in the palace, and the road ahead is long. It seems that the road of life has no end.

Finally, he handed over his waist card and left the palace gate.

Outside the palace gate, it was empty.

No need to guess, it must be that Dad was drunk, invited the Minister of Rites to get into his carriage, and left his own son behind.

If it is a special Lantern Festival night.

The way back from the palace to the Taifu's mansion, Xie Jinbai walked countless times in her previous life.

This is the first time in my life.

Xie Jinbai walked across the moat bridge and came to Qinyu Street.

There are bare willow trees on both sides of Qinyu Street, and they look like ghosts in the bright lights.

As long as you go further and cross the Baishi Bridge, you will see the brightly lit Yuhe Street full of people.

Fierce killing intent came from all directions.

Xie Jinbai instinctively drew out the sword at his waist——

That's right, I entered the palace today for a banquet, so where did I bring any swords, even if I did, I wouldn't be able to enter the palace.

"Cough cough cough-"

Xie Jinbai bent over and coughed, his body didn't move, as if he was going to catch him.

Deterred by the prestige of this ever-victorious general, the killers never approached rashly.

Taking advantage of the opponent's unpreparedness, Xie Jinbai picked up the gravel on the ground and used his wrist strength to shoot down the weapons in the hands of several men in black.

Picking up one of the scimitars on the ground with the tip of his toe, the light of the knife was glowing with cold light, and he swung the knife over, every move was a killer move.

Several men in black fell down.

The remaining men in black became more and more cautious.

The head was so dizzy that Xie Jinbai's wrist holding the scimitar trembled slightly.

The people in black keenly noticed that Xie Jinbai's movements were slowing down, and they winked at each other.

The rest of the men in black rushed forward with machetes in their hands.

"Ding--"

"Ding--" "Ding--"

"what!"

"what!"

More than a dozen hidden weapons flew out like a shower, and a man in black fell to the ground screaming.

The rest of the men in black even more recklessly launched a killing move towards Xie Jinbai.

Suddenly, Xie Jinbai's eyes went blank.

The white powder scattered in the night wind. Unlike the previous one on New Year's Eve, this time the powder had an extremely strong aroma.

Xie Jinbai held his breath vigilantly.

Sensing keenly that someone was approaching, Xie Jinbai swung his knife at each other.

The man avoided his attack, clasped the wrist of his other hand, "Close your eyes, follow me."

Xie Jinbai froze, and the scimitar in his hand fell to the ground with a bang.

Tanger? !
