I see the snow

Before this banquet, Xi Huai had heard many rumors about the new emperor's banquet.

It is said that he was the prince brought in by the empress dowager, and his biological mother had a humble status and died very early.

Originally, he was not much loved by the late king, but he ascended to the throne miraculously.

However, the most talked about among them is naturally the friendship between him and the young master of Guanxing Pavilion.

"Have you heard that the new emperor is going to choose his father's useless attendant as the god attendant for stargazing!"

"Really? Tsk tsk tsk, so what's the difference between it and incest?"

"That's right. The royal family...don't you want to lose face?"

From the government and the public to the people, since hearing the news, there has been a lot of discussion.

In addition, many ministers desperately remonstrated for this matter, and would rather slam their heads on the pillars in front of the palace to stop it.

For no other reason-

Just because to be the king's stargazing god attendant is to have physical friendship with the king.

Human beings have their own destiny, which corresponds to the stars. If you want to observe the emperor's stars most accurately and speculate on its future development, you must make your own star track intersect with it and be firmly tied together.

This process can only be done by the joy of fish and water.

Therefore, every star-gazing god attendant will draw a cross-shaped mark between his eyebrows since he is selected. "loyalty"--

If it is touched by others, the cross cinnabar will disappear.

And the current young master of the Guanxing Pavilion, Chu Yuan, was once chosen as the God Attendant of Stargazing at the age of 12 because of his outstanding spiritual power.

Shen Yan wants to appoint him to watch the stars for her, even though they are about the same age, they are no different from her "mother and concubine" who wants to "marry" her.

The court and China had been arguing endlessly about this time, which can be called Shen Yan's biggest rebellion.

Whoever mentions it dies.

"absurd!"

At the banquet, Shen Yan threw out the paper on which the poem was written, and shouted angrily: "Mo Chenting, you are so bold!!"

Father and son Mo Chenting and Mo Bihuan knelt on the ground, kowtowed to their foreheads, and asked blankly:

"Your Majesty is guilty, I deserve to die!...But please let Your Majesty know where it offends His Majesty!"

Shen Yan pointed to the poem manuscript thrown on the ground, and said with a sneer:

"Mo Chenting, you wrote it yourself, don't you know what's in your mind?... You can judge the affairs of the Wang family by yourself!?"

Mo Bihuan had already walked over on his knees, picked up his son's manuscript on his knees, and read it twice in his hand:

"...Wu Yunchao entered the Emperor's Terrace, and the longevity of thousands of years will bloom here. There is no need to travel far in the world, and a geese will come from the sky. There is a period."

"This, what's wrong with this—"

However, just as he read it for the second time, the murmuring voice suddenly stopped.

The king's kindness is plentiful without repayment,

The minister's heart is full of worry and hatred to the mountains and seas.

The eight sons failed to reward favors and disgraces,

There is a time to be discouraged.

... Monarch, subject, eight, gray.

Monarchs pick ashes! !

This is an acrostic poem! !

In an instant, the blood on Mo Bihuan's body was already cold, and the color on his face faded, he kowtowed and said:

"—Your Majesty, the dog has no such intentions, the dog has no such intentions!!"

Mo Chenting was still at a loss, did not see the strangeness in this poem: "...what, what?"

When they first read this poem just now, they thought it was lamenting your kindness, which is hard to repay.She also thought that if she presented it to Shen Yan, she might be able to make Shen Yan smile.

Unexpectedly, there are such dangerous four characters hidden at the beginning of the sentence. When they are connected together, they are actually mocking Shen Yan.

Isn't this looking for death!

"Your Majesty, please believe me."

Mo Bihuan had already kowtowed repeatedly, until his forehead was broken, and his old face was covered with blood.It looked terrifying and embarrassed: "The dog has no such intentions, absolutely no such intentions!"

Shen Yan stared at him coldly: "Mo Chenting, come and explain to me yourself."

Mo Chenting didn't know how to explain, at first he didn't know what he had committed.

He just knelt down with his father, trembling uncontrollably.

Seeing his son's ugly face, Mo Bihuan almost gritted his teeth with hatred, and kowtowed to Shen Yan while pressing his head:

"Explain well to His Majesty, this is definitely not what you mean!"

The seats were full and no one said a word, almost a needle could be heard.

They were with Mo Bihuan just now, and he was still arrogant and domineering.Didn't expect it to come to this point now.It is really lamentable that honor and disgrace are impermanent.

Shen Yan stared at Mo's father and son for a while, they kept kowtow.Seeing that a good banquet is about to spoil everything.

Shen Yan closed her eyes angrily, and said in a hoarse voice:

"enough."

"Today was originally a joyful banquet for the monarch and his ministers. I don't want to spoil the joy of all the courtiers."

Shen Yan said: "There is no need to talk about this matter, it's over like this."

Mo's father and son stared at him blankly.

"Why," Shen Yan frowned: "Is it still necessary for me to invite you back to the banquet?"

"No, no," Mo Bihuan hurriedly took the hand of the servant beside him, and stood up with difficulty: "I have no such intention..."

Shen Yan's face was gloomy, until Mo and his son returned to their seats, and after a while, the vocal music sounded again at the banquet.

The palace attendant in charge made people sing and dance, and the atmosphere seemed to be alive again.

The slightly unpleasant episode just now has been overturned.

— but, does anyone know:

After this incident, it is impossible for Mo Chenting to be an official again in this life.

"I don't know who fiddled with them."

Yin Zhichuan sighed slightly, and guessed: "Lin Kun? No. This kid is very upright, and he can't think of such a way to attract people into the trap."

But above the court, intrigues and mutual struggles emerge in endlessly.

Like Mo Bihuan, Reid is usually uncoordinated and has made many enemies, so it is impossible to guess who made the move.

With eyelashes like black feathers drooping, Xi Huai smiled very lightly.

He seemed to be taking care of himself and said in a low voice:

"Stealing something that doesn't belong to him should have ended up like this."

His voice was indifferent and calm, hidden in the grand and noisy singing and dancing, Yinzhichuan didn't hear it for a while.

After a while, I got tired of watching the singing and dancing, and Shen Yan slowly talked with the ministers from time to time, showing no intention of leaving.

Yin Zhichuan couldn't leave the table yet.

These songs and dances are similar every year, and the dancer in the middle is not as beautiful as the oiran of the Qin Pavilion that Yin Zhichuan ordered last time.

There is really no point.

"Why don't I come and play the dice with the major general?"

Seeing that Yin Zhichuan was very boring, Xi Huai smiled, and said proactively: "Whoever loses will have a glass of wine."

"Can you roll dice?"

Xihuai is usually cold and cheerless, and he is neither eager nor flattering towards Yinzhichuan, and even retreats a bit.

At this time, he offered to play with him, Yin Zhichuan couldn't believe it.He raised his eyebrows with interest:

"Okay, but if I lose, I drink a glass of wine. If you lose, you can drink, or you can exchange it for something else."

"Anything else to change?"

"Yes."

Yin Zhichuan looked at his cold and dark pupils, approached him suddenly, pinched Xi Huai's jaw, and said provocatively, "For example, give me a kiss."

"..."

Xi Huai was not very angry, there was not even a wave of emotion on his face, he just smiled lightly and said: "Okay."

But although Xihuai agreed with "yes", his "good" was so "good" that it was worthless.

—he never used it once.

Yinzhichuan and Xihuai win or lose about the same number of dice rolls, but each time Xihuai drank the wine himself.There is no need to "kiss Yinzhichuan" in exchange.

His figure was so thin that he seemed completely incapable of drinking.

But after drinking cup after cup of spirits, Xi Huai's cheeks were still pale, and he was calm, without a trace of drunkenness.

When he was pouring wine for Yinzhichuan, his hands were steady, and the wine was poured out of the jug, filling Yinzhichuan's porcelain cup without shaking.

Yin Zhichuan grew up in the icy and snowy borderland drinking with his brothers to keep warm, and he has always drank a thousand cups without getting drunk.

He thought it would be a no-brainer to throw dice and drink like Xi Huai.Nothing.

But after drinking one cup at a time, the whole pot of warm wine quickly drained, and Yin Zhichuan felt a little dizzy, which is rare.

His stomach was filled with this strong wine, and something quickly flowed along the blood and circulated in his body.

It was like clusters of small flames burning him all over.

"Your wine..."

Yinzhichuan murmured: "You..."

He seemed to realize something belatedly, but it was too late.

His lower abdomen was hot and irritable, and Yin Zhichuan's whole body was scorching hot, wishing he could touch something cold to cool himself down.

At such a stall, Xihuai, who had been keeping a certain distance from Yinzhichuan, slowly approached.

He gently held Yinzhichuan's face——

His hands are so cold.

At the moment when he met Xi Huai, Yin Zhichuan thought of this.

Xi Huai held his face, Yin Zhichuan saw his shadow in Xi Huai's dark eyes.

The next moment, their foreheads touched and their eyes met.

Then, a very cold and soft touch touched the corner of Yinzhichuan's lips very lightly.

Xi Huai kissed him——

Yinzhichuan's mind suddenly exploded, his fingers trembled, and the veins on the back of his hands popped——

He stretched out his hand uncontrollably, slammed down the slender neck of the man in white, brought him towards him, pressed him under him, and began to bite heavily.
