The New Year's Eve banquet finally arrived.
This is a day of universal celebration that only happens once a year. The more natural people there are, the more lively it is. Not only the four concubines and the emperor's relatives and relatives will participate, but the ministers can also bring a family member to the banquet.However, Xia Xi is not a royal family, and secondly, he is not a minister of the court. He was originally curious about what capacity Gong Yinan would let him participate in the banquet, only to find out that this year's amnesty for the recommended famous family can also come to pay respects to Tianyan.
However, there are only a handful of such places, and four high-ranking ministers above the second rank are required to co-sign as guarantors, so the conditions are not harsh.Xia Xi didn't know what method Gong Yinan used or what name he borrowed, so he easily followed Gong Yinan all the way into the palace, then took a seat, and finally sat beside Gong Yinan.
Gong Yinan was secretly relieved that Xia Xiken agreed to attend the New Year's Eve banquet with him.As a prince, he had to attend the banquet, but he couldn't leave Xia Xi alone in the palace, so he was worried at first——after the doctor successfully rescued him that night, he deduced that the young man might be afraid of the secluded and lonely environment, because he used It is ten times more difficult and painful to cut an artery with a tooth than with a sharp knife, and the determination to die is also more determined.Whether it's environmental factors or thoughts of committing suicide, Gong Yinan is extremely worried, so now Gong Yinan is so careful that he tries his best to stay by the boy's side at all times, even if something happens, he arranges for his servants to follow him.As the New Year's Eve, the day of family reunion, Gong Yinan couldn't leave the young man alone in the palace.
Secondly, he was afraid that Xia Xi would take the opportunity to leave.Apart from guessing that the young man is a member of the hidden sect, Gong Yinan doesn't know anything about the young man.Since the Yinmen only passes on people who are connected by blood, will Xia Xi feel homesick on the day of family reunion, will he go back to the Yinmen to be with his relatives, and then never come back...
Thinking of this, Gong Yinan was terrified, no matter what, he would not let Xia Xi stay alone in the palace all night.He even wished he could bring an iron chain to tie him by his side all the time.
As usual, the venue of the dinner was Chaoyang Palace. This time, because family members were allowed to attend, Chaoyang Palace specially re-arranged it to make more space for people to sit comfortably.Although the palace is relatively large, there are many fire charcoal basins around it, using colorless and odorless gold silk charcoal, which makes the whole palace as warm as spring.
Before entering the Chaoyang Palace, Xia Xi met Gong Chen. The man was wearing a blue and silver thread brocade gown with multicolored ripples embroidered on the hem of the clothes, making him even more tall and straight, with an extraordinary temperament.Even though he was surrounded by several ministers, he seemed to be independent from the world, standing there quietly, as if he was waiting for someone.
Until he saw Xia Xi who was following Gong Yinan, Gong Chen's eyes lit up, he showed a gentle smile to the young man, and he raised his feet to walk towards the young man.
Gong Yinan raised his foot at the same time, and stood in front of Xia Xi first.Love rivals are born with keen intuition, and the two men looked at each other, needless to say, they already knew each other's thoughts.
All the onlookers knew that Prince Rui and Prince Li had never been at odds, and thought that Gong Chen had gone to Gong Yinan from the very beginning, and the focus of their eyes was on the two princes, and they did not notice the existence of Xia Xi.Immediately afterwards, the appearance of another person attracted all eyes from the scene: "Why is it so lively, could it be that this palace missed something?"
Since she claims to be the palace, it must be the crown prince.It was the first time Xia Xi saw the eldest prince, and couldn't help but take a few glances secretly.Gong Lian was wearing a dark red woven golden dragon silk cloud robe, which looked dignified and grand, and she was holding a folded bone fan in her hand, which added a bit of coquettishness, and Xia Xi couldn't help complaining in her heart: "I still have to wear it in winter." There is something wrong with wearing a fan.Either it is eccentric, or it is posturing.
Each of the three lords is the master of the front and back, and the gathering together attracts crowds to flock to them. Some are sycophants, some have hidden needles between different factions, and some even fear that the world will not be chaotic.Unknowingly, Xia Xi was pushed away from Gong Yinan's side. At this moment, there was only a rumbling sound. As the prelude to the banquet, fireworks were set off over the palace.
The crowd suddenly became more lively, and everyone rushed to stare at the sky with their necks up.After all, this kind of thing can only be found in the imperial palace, and it is only released once a year. People in the capital will even look at the sky above the imperial palace and wait.
However, in Xia Xi's opinion, the craftsmanship of fireworks in this era is really not high. There are only three colors, red, yellow and green, and the style is very simple. Compared with the fireworks imported from the West during the Republic of China, which can present various patterns and colors, there is a lot of difference.Xia Xi was about to withdraw silently from the crowd, but someone grabbed her hand, and when she looked up, she saw that the other party was the Crown Prince Gonglian whom she had just met.
"Why, do you think these fireworks are not good-looking?"
Xia Xi bowed his head and remained silent, tried a few times but failed to withdraw his hand, until Gong Lian unhurriedly let go of his hand like a cat catching a mouse, and used the other hand to pick up Xia Xi's chin with a fan , looked up and down, "Gong Chen is waiting for you from the beginning to the end, right? Sure enough, you are very beautiful. Compared with people, this firework is really not good-looking."
Xia Xi was disgusted by Gong Lian's gaze, and frowned to push Gong Lian's fan away, but someone did it for him first.
Pushing away the fan, Gong Yinan took advantage of the opportunity to pull Xia Xi behind him, covering the young man tightly. His figure was already tall, several centimeters taller than Gong Lian, and his aura became even more menacing. "The banquet is about to begin."
The fireworks over there are finally over, which also means that the feast has begun.Gong Lian didn't care too much about Gong Yinan's slightly disrespectful attitude, but instead patted Gong Yinan's shoulder, and whispered in Gong Yinan's ear: "Fourth Emperor Brother, your little guy is beautiful, but You're still young, you're obviously inexperienced, you don't know how to be interesting, do you want to put it in my place to help you train a little bit?"
Gong Yinan's fire came up, suppressing his anger, he pinched Gong Lian's hand on his shoulder and said coldly: "Prince, please respect yourself."
Gong Lian let Gong Yinan restrain him, "You fight with elder brother for no reason, you should be the one who respects yourself, King Li?"
When Gong Lian spoke in Gong Yinan's ear before, his voice was deliberately low so that no one other than Gong Yinan could hear him, so it seemed to others that the two brothers whispered intimately, but Immediately afterwards, King Li changed his face inexplicably, and wanted to start a fight with the prince.Several ministers hurriedly came up to persuade, at the same time the eunuch's shrill voice came from afar: "Your Majesty is here!"
Gong Yinan narrowed his eyes dangerously at Gong Lian, and slowly let go of his hand. Gong Lian didn't seem to care about Gong Yinan's threat, and looked at Xia Xi who was behind Gong Yinan before turning around and taking a seat in Chaoyang Palace.It didn't take a moment for everyone to be seated, and when the emperor was the last one to sit down, the banquet finally officially began.
The monarchs and ministers gathered together, and the lord of the Yasukuni Kingdom, Gong Deming, sat at the main table to accept the congratulations from the courtiers. The atmosphere seemed harmonious and lively.One after another delicious food was brought to the table by the maids, everyone drank and ate, and the previously prepared programs were staged in turn.
Xia Xi sat at the lower end of Gong Yinan, because he was thinking about the mission and lacked interest in food, so he couldn't help looking in Gong Deming's direction.
Gong Yinan persuaded softly: "The banquet is going to be very late, how about some food?"
Xia Xi was still thinking about the assassination silently, although the surroundings were harmonious and harmonious, and the guards inside and outside the palace were also heavily guarded, he really couldn't think of any loopholes.However, Gong Deming doesn't look very healthy, his appearance is older than his actual age, and he feels like he is at the end of his battle.
Gong Yinan saw that the boy started to be in a daze again, fearing that his body would be unbearable if he didn't eat, so he personally took a small piece of milk cake and put it in the boy's mouth to feed it to him.
Xia Xi's mouth was dry, and he felt that the milk cake was even drier, and he couldn't swallow the milk cake at all, so he couldn't help but said sullenly: "I don't want to eat this."
Gong Yinan saw that the milk cake in Xia Xi's mouth seemed to be poisonous, and his small face was wrinkled, and he felt distressed, "If you don't want to eat it, spit it out," he said while putting his hand near Xia Xi's mouth , "Spit in my hand."
Xia Xi shook his head, his mouth was full of saliva after holding it for so long, even if he didn't want to eat anymore, he couldn't spit it directly into other people's hands.Just when he was about to speak, he almost choked on the cake crumbs, and his face turned red. Gong Yinan was even more worried when he saw it: "Hurry up and spit it out, don't choke, everyone is watching the performance now, no one will pay attention to this ,obedient."
In the end, Xia Xi could only choose to spit it out, and Gong Yinan took it all into the palm of his hand without any distaste, and then put it into the plate next to the fruit peel, "I can't do without food, can I eat something else instead?"
After thinking for a long time: "...I want to eat fruit."
Gong Yinan wiped his hands clean with a silk cloth, moved the lychee that Xia Xi pointed out just now, and peeled the lychee for him.
One was quickly peeled off and sent directly to the boy's mouth.
Xia Xi looked at the lychee, subconsciously stretched out her small tongue and licked it tentatively, tasted the juice to confirm that it was really sweet, then swallowed it whole in one mouthful with peace of mind, and even used the tip of her tongue Suck the juice from Gong Yinan's fingers.
Gong Yinan has always been too lazy to care about other people's eyes and thoughts, and Xia Xi was used to being served by others in his previous life, so he didn't think about what to avoid for a while, until Xia Xi narrowed his eyes and swallowed the lychees with satisfaction like a kitten, only to find out Several eyes were looking at him for an unknown how long.That's all for Gong Chen, there is even Gong Lian who left a bad impression on Xia Xi just after meeting.
The unknowingly seductive in the jerky is a hundred times more alluring than the mature one.
Xia Xi's appearance is already young, and her black and white big eyes are so clean and clear that one can see to the end at a glance. The action of licking litchi with her pink tongue is natural and delicate, without the slightest pretense, but because of this , It is more tempting to fall in the eyes of people.
This is a day of universal celebration that only happens once a year. The more natural people there are, the more lively it is. Not only the four concubines and the emperor's relatives and relatives will participate, but the ministers can also bring a family member to the banquet.However, Xia Xi is not a royal family, and secondly, he is not a minister of the court.
