The prince was sitting at the side, holding the wine cup in his left hand, but the person pouring wine for him was not the court lady, but the third prince, and there was another person in the middle, the fourth prince was staring at the folding fan in his hand, as if there was something attractive on the folding fan. Something like a human being.

In this way, together with He Yaoqing who is called a princess but is actually a prince, the only four princes in this dynasty are all here.

The prince waved his hand to signal the third prince not to fall again, as if he was ordering a servant, but the third prince didn't seem to care, and put down the jug in his hand with a low eyebrow.

"Isn't that right? My son also feels that the emperor's sister has changed a lot since she got married."

These words were spoken to Emperor Jing Ren.

Emperor Jing Ren didn't answer.

"This is what the folks call 'women are not allowed to stay'?" Concubine Yi continued to cover her mouth and laughed, "Oh, my concubine has not read many books except the Four Books, and she can't speak. It's ridiculous."

The "Four Books" in her mouth are of course not the Four Books and Five Classics, but "Women's Precepts", "Women's Virtue", "Women's Training" and "Women's Biography".

He Yaoqing sneered in his heart, he didn't even want to look at the two of them.

Two idiots.

He Yaoqing always thought that that idiot could become the prince only because the third prince was cowardly and incompetent, and the fourth prince only loved calligraphy and painting and didn't know about political affairs, so he could only be regarded as "choosing generals among dwarfs", and it really had nothing to do with his own talents.

It’s just that this idiot prince was the first to propose the Tweet Order, which has been making a lot of noise in the past few days. Although this decree is really stupid, it has no harm to his plan. , and even from a certain point of view, it can be said to be "send charcoal in the snow".

Emperor Jing Ren finally looked at Concubine Yi, his voice was gentle but it was beating: "Okay, since you know that you can't speak, stop talking."

Concubine Yi seemed to never know how to look at people's faces, she pouted slightly and said, "I didn't do it on purpose, if the Holy Majesty wants to say this, then the concubine should just stop talking."

It would be fine if a pretty girl in her [-]s and [-]s did this move, but if she did it, it would only make people feel nondescript and make people laugh.

"Of course I didn't mean that." Emperor Jing Ren looked at her with gentle eyes, but if you look carefully, you can find the deep impatience hidden in it. "Today is the queen mother's birthday, so mother should be happy." .”

Only then did Concubine Yi nod her head, and for some reason, she glanced at He Yaoqing, then turned her head and whispered to the other concubines beside her.The prince didn't speak anymore, and slowly shook the wine cup in his hand, but from the corner of his eyes, he kept staring at He Yaoqing who continued to talk to Emperor Jing Ren and the queen mother.

This "Emperor Sister" has always been a thorn in his side and a thorn in his flesh since he could remember, even when he thought she was just a princess.

When he was a child, he thought, this person is obviously just a princess, why can he still go to Shang's study?Even when it comes to inspections, the Taifu father always praises him alone, but when it comes to himself, he always trains him again and again.

Why?He is the prince, so what if he does well?

But now I think, fortunately, he is "just a princess".

But even so, if you don't really get rid of him, you will always feel like there is a sword hanging over your head, and you will always have trouble sleeping, eating, and sleeping at night, and you can't feel at ease.

He is worthy of being the crown prince chosen by Emperor Jingren, as vicious and suspicious as Emperor Jingren, but he simply forgot to inherit the talents and strategies of Emperor Jingren.

So there is nothing left but stupidity.

As the night darkened, the glazed tiles under the double eaves of the Chaoyang Hall reflected the moonlight. Perhaps only it remained unchanged for thousands of years.

The birthday banquet was finally over, and the officials left one by one. On the way out of the palace, they were scattered, scattered in small groups, and finally dispersed gradually.

He Yaoqing's mood has been very low since he entered the palace, and it's even more so now. Looking at him, Xie Linghe felt that he seemed to have returned to the gloomy and tyrannical look he had when the two just met.

The lightness and vigor that he had worked so hard for for so long seemed to have disappeared, but now it was really not the time to talk, so he just walked quietly beside him, listening to his parents talking.

At this moment, his shoulders suddenly sank, and when he turned his head, he saw that Xu Yaoling had walked beside him at some point, followed by General Xu, who raised his arms and put them on his shoulders as usual.

During the birthday banquet, Xie's family and Prime Minister Si sat at the front of the group of officials, while Xu's family was a little further away, so they couldn't talk.

"What do you think?"

Xu Yaoling leaned over to talk with a smile, but suddenly felt a stare staring straight at his arm, like a needle prick, almost like a light on his back.

But when he looked around, he didn't find anyone looking at him, but he saw He Yaoqing standing aside, so he was startled, and hurriedly saluted: "I've seen Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess."

He Yao looked at him indifferently, and didn't answer for a long time. In the end, he just lowered his eyes and continued walking, but didn't ask him to stand up straight.

Xu Yaoling maintained his stooped appearance, a little embarrassed, and looked at Xie Lingyu suspiciously.

——How did I offend him?

Xie Linghe touched his nose, thinking that He Yaoqing was in a bad mood, but seeing the two of them arguing and getting annoyed, he said, "It's nothing, Yaoqing is just in a bad mood, it's like this to everyone."

Only then did Xu Yaoling feel relieved, and said, "Scared me."

The back of He Yaoqing who was walking in front paused slightly, and the hostility on his body that was not seen by others became more and more serious.Xie Lingyu only thought that he was really annoyed, and after following up, he was afraid of disturbing him again, so he only whispered to Xu Yaoling who was beside him.

General Xu was walking with Marquis Xie, seeing this scene, he couldn't help laughing and said, "Your Highness is still the same as when he was a child, ignoring everyone when he is upset."

"Who said," Mrs. Xie glanced at him, "we are the most obedient shakers."

"Okay, okay," General Xu said helplessly, "I was wrong."

"I was in a daze just now, and I didn't know everything around me. Yaoqing didn't do it on purpose." Only then did He Yaoqing "come to his senses", full of apology, and said.

Only then did Mrs. Xie look over with a look of "I knew it was so", which made General Xu beg for mercy.

Xie Ling smiled at the side, and suddenly felt a smell coming from his nose, which seemed to be the fragrance of grass and trees, but also had a smell of tobacco ash, which was not unpleasant, but it was not really an incense. After careful sniffing, it was actually from Xu Yaoling beside him.

So he asked, "Did you change the incense today?"

Xu Yaoling glanced at him: "When did I use incense?"

"Then your smell is—"

At this time, General Xu said: "By the way, I haven't told you yet."

As he said that, he took out a sachet from the attendant behind him, and continued to say, "This is a new good thing from the Western Regions. It is used for raising swords. I only got two or three taels."

Xie Linghe opened the sachet, and the thing inside looked like a kind of strange herbal medicine, with a round head and a pointed tail, with sharp teeth on one side and an extremely rounded side on the other. The whole was a dark red color, like Dried blood.

"The name of this thing is Jiudong. It was originally intended to be burned to smoke the sword, but I don't have many here. The merchant said that when the sword is equipped, it is made into a sachet, and it is worn on the body for three days. Not too far from that."

Uncle Xu seems to be like this all the time, always thinking about a few juniors, even if he doesn't have much, he still has to divide it into two, Xie Ling and thanked with a smile: "Then thank you, Uncle Xu."

"Why are you being polite to me?" General Xu waved his hand, then turned his head to look at him again, maybe because the night was too late, his voice was a little low and hoarse, "You are the one I have seen since I was a child, what good things can I lack? about you."

"You don't have a sword today, why do you still have a sachet?"

"I think it smells good..."

He Yaoqing was watching and listening to them, his expression was still gloomy, with a bit of indifference added.

He didn't speak any more along the way, and he didn't want to, until he got into the carriage, and leaned on the bed with his eyes slightly closed, but his brows were slightly wrinkled.

Xie Lingyu didn't want to disturb him, so he just lightly took out the cloak he had prepared a long time ago, and put it on him gently.

The author says:

The birthday gifts for the Queen Mother were all given before the birthday ceremony started, so I didn't write it because I thought it was meaningless.

And two of the four books were edited by me.
