Misidentifying the Fate of the Paranoid Villain [Transmigration Book]
Chapter 22 Palace Banquet
??The conversation has come to this point, Lin Ji is still holding his cup of tea, without expressing his opinion.
?? Is the tea so delicious?
?? If it's so delicious, why don't you pour me a cup.
?? Yu Luo froze there angrily.
?? He felt that Lin Ji was either in a bad mood today, or he was deliberately keeping a distance from him.
?? He can coax him when he is in a bad mood, but if he intends to push himself away, what else can he do.
??I chose to stick to it with no skin and no face at the beginning. Is it possible that I can still retreat now??
?? "Lin Ji."
??Yu Luo's voice became a little stiffer. This was the first time he called him by his first name.
??The man heard the words and finally looked up at him: "Huh?"
?? "You haven't answered me yet."
??Even if you refuse, I want to listen to you every word, and speak seriously.
?? Yu Luo's eyes were full of stubbornness.
?? Lin Ji paused, and said, "I will stay in Jinling City, and next year I will have a palace exam."
"But!" Yu Luo hesitated for a moment, and retorted in a nasal voice, "The palace test is not that simple, and it's not completely fair. You, you can't pass high school!"
?? Lin Jiyan swept away slowly.
??Holding the cup in his hand, rubbing his fingertips slightly, he suddenly turned his head to look at Yu Luo: "Who told you this?"
?? Before Yu Luo could answer, he turned his eyes away, and the candlelight flickered, casting a beautiful shadow on his crow-like eyelashes, and he returned to that indifferent appearance, "Young Lord Pei?"
?? The freshly boiled water on the table was gurgling.
??Such as buzzing ear-piercing.
??Yu Luo's eyes were red. He thought Lin Ji didn't believe it, and knew that Pei Hanlin would not lie. Being in a high position, he naturally saw more than others, so he slapped his hand on the table, "You don't understand these things, You'll know when you pass the exam. I'm..." Yu Luo couldn't think of any other reason, so he could only expose his identity and forcefully convince the other party, "I'm the young son of Xuanpinghou's mansion. Marry me Could it be, isn't it more cost-effective than that vague palace test?"
?? Lin Ji looked away, propped up his chin with one hand, and looked lazy.
?? "You trust him so much, every word and every word is in your heart. Why don't you let him call off the marriage, and instead come here to ask me for advice." This tone became more polite, and Yu Luo was anxious.
?? Do you think I don't want to.
?? I said it a long time ago!
"I found it." Yu Luo's voice was aggrieved.
?? However, he also had to listen to his elder brother, the King of Yunnan, and this marriage was not something he could push off whenever he wanted.
?? He has persuaded him two or three times, and there are also people who are in a difficult situation - they are all powerful and powerful family members. Yu Luoke knows this feeling. It can be said that he empathizes with Pei Hanlin's difficulties and cannot bear to be harsh.
?? If I have other ways, how can I think of elopement.
??Lin Ji rubbed the dry scroll with his fingertips, and with slight movements of his thin white fingertips, he turned another page of the book.
??This time, the voice was a little lower, "He refused."
?? It is clearly a question, but it seems to be very stable.Yu Luo didn't understand why he still had time to spy on Pei Hanlin.As long as he can figure it out, is it necessary for Pei Hanlin to come over and persuade him to elope.
??At the moment when he can't wait, he is still talking about him.
??Is it that difficult for you to elope with me??
?? you just—
??Do you not like me?
?? Yu Luo clenched his fists and stood helplessly, neither taking a step forward nor taking a step back.
??Then sniffed, the grievance in my heart became more and more uncomfortable, but this time I was stubborn and didn't cry, holding back my tears, "Are you going to follow me or not?"
??He has to ask for a clear answer.
?? Lin Ji then put down the book.
??Throw out two words clearly and understandably: "Don't go."
?? After finishing speaking, there was still a hateful smile on the corner of his mouth, "Ah Luo, don't be childish, this is not fun. Elopement is only romantic in picture books—"
?? Fun?
??romantic?
??The anger in my heart could no longer be suppressed, and I threw the candle in my hand to the ground vigorously. Lin Ji's figure suddenly swayed across the table and directly grabbed his wrist, but there was no time to stop it.
?? There was a bang under the feet, and the flames immediately splashed.
??The hot lamp oil dripped down on fire, already burning the back of Yu Luo's hand.
??The flame burned to the corner of Xiao Shizi's clothes, Lin Ji bent down, and extinguished it with the scroll he was holding.
?? Roll up the sleeves at the wrists you are holding.I saw that Xiao Shizi's wrist was hot and bright red, and there was a tendency of blistering in the severe part.
??Yu Luo didn't expect that the lamp was cold in his hand, but the lamp oil inside was so hot, and it would spill out just by smashing it like this.
?? It hurts like hell.
??I regretted it on the spot.
??No matter what, you can't hurt yourself, it hurts too much!
??Bowed up and stretched out his hand to cover his wrist, but Lin Jiyan quickly restrained the other hand: "Don't touch it."
??Looking at how painful he was about to cry, Lin Ji went outside to fetch a basin of water, put a soaked veil on his wrist to cool down, and then instructed, "Don't scratch it."
?? Another three steps and two steps to the house to get the powder.
??"pain……"
??Although it was covered with a cold water veil, it was still hot and painful.
??Yu Luo was already feeling uncomfortable, but now he couldn't hold back anymore. Tears were streaming down his face, but he still refused to make a sound, enduring the pain in his throat and turning his face away.
?? Don't let him see his distressed expression of crying.
?? Lin Ji fetched a small bottle of wine from nowhere, wiped the reddened area with a handkerchief, and swirled it to cool down.
??It was cold, and the unbearable pain eased a little.
?? "You are not very young, but you have a good temper."
?? Lin Ji said while wiping, "Why are you so angry all of a sudden?"
"I've always had a bad temper." Yu Luo thought of his reputation outside, and threatened forcefully, "Don't think that I'm someone easy to deal with."
??Like a grinning little sheep.
?? Lin Ji silently glanced at him.
??He took some medicine powder and touched the medicine bottle with his fingertips. As soon as he sprinkled a little on it, Yu Luo immediately pulled his hand back, but his palm was tightly held, "Don't move."
?? After entering the house, I took out a roll of clean gauze.
?? Yu Luo finally couldn't help but asked, "Why do you have everything?"
?? "People who don't have money to see a doctor are like this. If there is any minor illness or disaster, you have to deal with it yourself." Lin Ji curled his lips and responded calmly, "If the prince doesn't like these things, you can go to the mansion to ask for help." The doctor will come back and make some better ones. It’s just that we are in a hurry right now, so we have to bandage like this first.”
?? How could it mean to despise you.
??I've taken a fancy to you, why can't I take a fancy to your things??
?? Yu Luo was still on fire.
"If you don't like me, leave me alone." He glared fiercely at the man in front of him.
?? Lin Ji tied a beautiful bow around his wrist, grabbed the slender wrist that was wrapped in gauze, and said deliberately, "You have such a bad temper, you have to take care of it."
?? I can say that I have a bad temper!
??You can not!
?? Moreover, no one ever told him that he had a bad temper in his previous life.
?? They all said he was very sensible.
?? It is said that this world has entered the body of this cannon fodder, and it is rare to get angry once, but the blame is completely blamed.
??Wei Wenxu, his grandmother, and even Li Xuan came to say that he was surly, and he admitted it.He didn't care anyway.
??But he has been so kind to Lin Ji all the way, why should he say that he has a bad temper.
?? "You also know that I have a bad temper. You can leave if you want, and you don't have to endure me every day." He gave up on himself.
?? Lin Ji laughed, "But where do I live when I go out? I'm penniless..."
?? Yu Luo turned his head and stared at him.
??you know too!You are now a body!none!point!arts!!
?? Then why don't you marry my little mobile gold mine on the spot? !
??Lin Ji held his hand all the time, and the dry and warm palm conveyed the temperature to him, calming down the uncontrollable restlessness in Yu Luo's heart a little.
?? "You want to elope with me, then have you thought about which direction we are going to go?"
?? Lin Ji asked calmly.
??Yu Luo was stopped by the question.
?? "Have you thought about what we will use to buy a carriage and make up for it?"
?? I will answer this question.
??Yu Luo immediately raised his hand to touch the hairpin on top of his head. This hairpin is worth at least two hundred baht!
?? "You can't sell what you have on your body. Once you sell it, you will be traced."
?? Lin Jiye glanced at him, and stopped the conversation before he could speak.
"You don't have much talent, and you can't do physical work. Even if you get out by chance, what will you do to make a living in the future?"
?? These three consecutive questions left Yu Luo speechless.
?? "Elopement is not such a simple matter. If you accidentally get caught, you will be fine, but I will be dead." Lin Ji's tone did not seem to be discussing something fatal, but rather calm, Like nothing to do with me.
"Then what should I do? My grandmother said that tomorrow my empress and aunt will issue a decree to confer a marriage. By then, this matter will be finalized and there will be no room for change."
Seeing that he also wanted to discuss, Yu Luo held Lin Ji's hand tightly in a hurry, like a drowning man holding a piece of driftwood.
??Lin Ji stretched out his hands to rub the back of his head comfortingly, and said, "You can't think of anything. What else can you do about this—your brother is the second assistant to the cabinet, and your aunt It's the queen of the court. They have made up their minds, and you have no choice."
??Hand down, put down the sleeves for him, and tidy up the collar, "Stop thinking about it, why don't you go back and sleep first."
?? When Yu Luo heard this, his whole body collapsed.
?? Just want him to accept his fate.
?? OK, admit it.
?? When it comes to this point, he thinks it is!
??Anyway, it will be you, not me, who will be killed by the villain as soon as you ascend the throne.
?? If you want me to ignore you, don't regret it!
??Yu Luo's stubbornness came out again. This time, he didn't even cry out about the pain. He raised his head and looked at the pitch-black outside, sitting like a stuffy gourd.
?? Lin Ji gave him a sideways glance.
?? Said slowly, "The people in Jinling City, wearing a piece of human skin, hide a lot of things in their hearts and hearts. One idea a day, it's not accurate. Maybe tomorrow's marriage will not be given come down."
?? Yu Luo secretly rolled his eyes.
?? You are also called comfort.
??Too perfunctory, might as well not speak.
??The rain outside just stopped, Lin Ji put a coat on Yu Luo to keep out the chill of late autumn, "The night is very late, go to bed earlier."
?? Yu Luo's eyes were red, and he looked back at Lin Ji again.
?? I thought that there is still no fate.
?? Having children or something, getting married or something.
??I'm afraid this thought will end here.
??He didn't care at all anyway.
??From the beginning to the end, only he was wishful thinking.
?? Lin Ji seemed to be hooked by this look, and suddenly froze for a moment, and pulled Yu Luo back when he turned to leave.
"What are you doing?"
?? The rain under the eaves was dripping, and one drop hit his face, and slid down his cheek coldly.
??Yu Luo suddenly didn't want to cry anymore, and just wanted to leave quickly.
??But the bound arm was pulled, and Yu Luo fell behind, falling into a warm and soft embrace.
??The back is tightly attached, and he seems to be able to hear Lin Ji's gentle and powerful heartbeat.
??The man lowered his head, breathing behind his ears, and a half-laughter escaped his throat: "Why are you so sad, haven't you made an order yet?"
??Grandmother is determined to marry Yunnan Prince's Mansion, and my brother agrees.
?? This will be made tomorrow.
"Since your hand has been medicated, remember not to touch it with water tomorrow, let alone rub it. Although there are waiters at the palace banquet, you have to take care of it yourself."
?? Lin Ji let go of him, and pushed the person out for two steps, and went outside the courtyard, "Don't think so much, go back to sleep earlier, it will be fine when you wake up."
?? Nonsense.
?? simply can not be good.
??Yu Luo stood outside the courtyard, walked a few steps, and stopped again.
??Removed the hairpin on top of his head, turned around and ran back, and handed it to Lin Ji.
?? "What do you do with this?" Lin Ji asked.
"If you don't want to stay in the mansion, you can leave if you want. I won't keep you. This hairpin is worth some money, don't say you are penniless. I am reckless tonight, you have the right to pretend that I didn't come Let's go. Also, thank you for saving me, if there are any difficulties in the future..."
??Yu Luo choked up his words and took a deep breath, "It's still possible. You can come to me—if I'm still in Jinling City."
?? Xiao Shizi is saying goodbye.
??"Um."
??The hairpin that Lin Ji accepted, "I remember."
??Yu Luo didn't sleep well that night. He had a dream.Dreamed that he and Pei Hanlin got married, and then Lin Ji came and snatched his sedan chair.The elder brother killed him in a rage.
??Woke him up on the spot.
?? Birds were chirping outside, Yuanniang was picking out clothes for him, and when she saw someone woke up, she asked the maids to come forward and serve him.
??Yesterday, I was so drowsy from crying, and had another nightmare. Yu Luo couldn't think clearly until Yuanniang accidentally touched his wrist, which made him wake up suddenly.
?? "Ah, young master, what are you doing..."
"Yesterday I was accidentally burned by lamp oil." Yu Luo muttered.
"Then why did your hairpin disappear yesterday?" Yuanniang asked again.
?? "Just... disappeared."
?? He's not very good at lying, but Yuanniang only said so, and someone brought him some more expensive ones.
??After washing, dress up the person well.
?? This time it took a lot longer to dress up than last time, and the hair accessories were all luxurious.Under the sky-blue double breasts is a moon-white long skirt.Paired with a crow-green Suzhou embroidered brocade cloak, the whole person is full of indescribable luxury.
?? Too extravagant.
"Sister Yuan, how much is this worth?"
?? "This bracelet? It's very valuable. At least it's worth thousands of baht."
?? If I had known that I had so many good things, I would not have given that hairpin as a gift.
??Yu Luo looked at the jingling gold bracelet inlaid with agate and ruby on his wrist, and sighed slightly - even the parting gift was so poorly given.
?? But a white jade hairpin only.
?? "Is the son unhappy?"
?? Yuanniang combed his crown hair for him, "There are a lot of delicious food in the palace, which is unmatched in our house."
?? He looked uninterested.
?? Yuanniang follows the young master every day, and knows a thing or two about his thoughts.
??The story of a rich boy falling in love with a down-and-out scholar is the most sung in that teahouse. I never imagined that this matter could also fall on my little son.
?? Let’s talk about the little boy in the past, his eyes were higher than the top, and the people he fell in love with were either rich or noble.
??I wish I could fly directly to the branch and become that phoenix.
?? Until now, why are you so determined to be so poor and useless?
?? even temper has changed a lot.
?? Yuanniang hoped that the young master would understand some things and be more tempered.But now that her temper is getting better, she feels very distressed.
??Put a golden hairpin on the top of Yu Luo's head step by step, making his snow-like complexion even fairer.
??The tired look in his eyes made him look a little less energetic, and revealed some distressing tranquility.
?? How sick.
?? It was supposed to be a happy event.
?? Yuanniang sighed, and ordered a little vermilion for Yu Luo.
??The almond-like eyes are as bright as jade, and there seems to be no waves.
?? The corners of the lips that have been smiling recently are drooping now.
?? But this does not prevent this face from becoming more and more beautiful after dressing up.
??Yuanniang straightened up and looked at the appearance reflected in the bronze mirror, "Young master is really good-looking. Entering the palace today, the empress will definitely be surprised."
?? Yu Luo did not respond.
??***
?? After all, today is a rare event for the empress who has lived in the Buddhist hall for a long time. The aristocratic families in Jinling City are all proud of getting an invitation, and they are all overwhelmed to come.
?? But for some reason, there was no movement in General Li's mansion.
??Early in the morning, he quietly returned the post from the palace, saying that he was sick and said he couldn't go.
?? Then who doesn't know that Li Xuan grew up with his father in the border sandstorm and never suffered from any kind of illness all year round, so why he suddenly became ill.
?? Could it be that the rumors are true.
?? Rumor has it that the Duke of Guangling, who has just entered Jinling City for less than a year, has already married the youngest son of the Yu family - but because the eldest son is still young, he wants to wait two years before getting married.
??I never thought that the military power would be turbulent this year, and because of Empress Yu, His Majesty made up his mind to cut down the military power of the Yu family.
??The Guangling County King is about to be crowned prince again, so naturally he looks down on the declining Yu family.
?? Then he gave up that little son, and made a marriage contract with the upstart Li.
??This is just a rumor, and it is hard to tell what is true or false.
??The third son of the Yu family lives in seclusion, so there is no way to verify it.
??But now that the empress is hosting a banquet, Mrs. Li still hasn't come, as if she is confirming the rumor——
??Li Xuan knew that he had robbed Yu's family of marriage, so he didn't dare to come to the banquet.
??In fact, with the backing of Wei Wenxu, king of Guangling County, there is no need to be afraid of the Yu family coming here.
??The Li family is a future, but his cousin Wang Yin is only a sixth-rank official, but his arrogance is very arrogant.Hearing the gossip behind his back saying that Li Xuan offended Yu Luo, so he didn't dare to come to the queen's banquet, he immediately retorted: "Cousin Li Xuan didn't come because he offended the eldest son of the Yu family. After making a fuss, I'm not really afraid of the Yu family."
?? "But at any rate, Master Yu has some official positions in the court, and he also serves for His Majesty. In the end, you have to be cautious. It's normal if you don't come."
?? Then Wang Yin said arrogantly, "When the Guangling County King becomes the crown prince, then our cousin Li Xuan will be the crown princess and the emperor. No matter how powerful the Yu family is, he will also be a minister. There is nothing to be patient."
?? At the end, he made the false rumor that Yu Luo sent someone to hurt Li Xuan in the middle of the night to make a big deal out of it.
?? Said that the youngest son of the Yu family was jealous and surly, and his appearance was also vulgar. No wonder the county king had to divorce the engagement.
?? After a mouth addiction, he is comfortable.
??But thinking that today is the Queen's Empress's banquet, I returned a few words: "In the end, the Empress's Empress was born very well. But if the young son of the Yu family is more decent, he can get a little bit of the Empress's Empress. How could he have to end up in such a disgusting end."
?? There are voices of vassals around.
?? The steelyard in everyone's mind is looking at the same thing.
??The empress is honorable, but she has no children after all. She is still inferior to Wei Wenxu who will become His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in the future.Although Yu Ze is in a high position in the cabinet, his status is extremely noble.But Wei Wenxu's uncle, who is the chief assistant of the cabinet, has a higher official position than Yu Ze.
??And the military power in Yu Hou's hands, I am afraid that most of it will be transferred to Li's hands in the end.
?? Although the Yu family is powerful, but now, it is the Li family who cannot be offended.
?? Your Majesty is dying after all.
??The big guys are all mixed up in Jinling City, so they naturally know the severity——
??Whoever can become the new prince will be the king of Jinling City in the future.
?? A few words of chatting and laughing are about to cover up the too sharp topic just now.
??I never thought that I would turn my head and see an imposing figure striding into the hall, a deep crimson robe with wide sleeves was blowing the wind, a feather crown tied high on the top, sword eyebrows and star eyes so sassy.
?? Is a strange boy.
?? But the totem on his cuff is not unfamiliar, and he enters the palace without dropping his sword, which shows that he has a high status.
?? Is the little prince of the Yunnan Palace.
??Pei Hanlin.
??Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, secretly sighing that the people from the Yunnan Palace had entered Beijing at some point, and they hadn't heard any news before.
?? No wonder the empress, who hadn't hosted a banquet for a long time, suddenly hosted a banquet. It turned out that there were distinguished guests from afar.
?? The young man looked about sixteen or seventeen years old, and he was directly led by a court lady to sit in the first seat on the left.
"This one, but Prince Pei."
"Yes, I heard that Prince Pei has no children, and he doesn't plan to marry. The future throne will be passed on to this younger brother."
??Pei Hanlin doesn't like dealing with people, so the greetings are just a few words.He only poured wine and drank two glasses by himself, then looked outside the door, as if he was still waiting for someone.
??The indifferent eyes can only be a little tender when they glance at them.
??Seeing that it is almost time.
?? Wei Wenxu has always been well-mannered, and he always comes early.This time as expected.
?? He rarely attends such formal occasions. Although he has been in Beijing for a year, there are still many powerful children who have never seen this future His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.
?? So this time, as soon as I entered the palace.
?? Is the much-anticipated.
??Then Wang Yin rushed to cater to him to show his intimacy.But today for some reason, the face of the county king who has always been considerate to others turned dark, and he said several words and the other party ignored him.
?? For a while, I couldn't get down.
?? I was thinking a little bit, and I went back first with my tail between my legs.
?? I just saw that Wei Wenxu glanced around the hall, and called the chief executive to ask. After a few words, he saw that the chief shook his head, and the face of the county king turned even darker.
?? When walking forward, I saw a young man who was unfamiliar with the first seat on the left, and I would deduce his identity later.His eyes suddenly changed.
??Pei Hanlin had just finished drinking the glass of wine in front of him. He got some taste and wanted to have some more.
?? "I didn't expect to see Prince Pei here."
??Wei Wenxu has always been a man, so he immediately took the wine from the opposite table and poured it for Pei Hanlin himself, "I don't know if Brother Ling has entered Beijing together?"
?? "My brother is naturally in the southern border. I entered Jinling City for important business."
??Pei Hanlin didn't speak like these officials in Jinling City, who used to cover up the truth.
?? His response is very direct.
?? "Prince Pei has been exhausted all the way." Wei Wenxu put himself in the position of master by saying this.
?? When Pei Hanlin heard about the cheapness in his words, he just snorted coldly in his heart, toasted another glass of wine but did not answer.
?? It means that I don't want to talk to him again.
??Wei Wenxu knew that he didn't like him at all-the king of Yunnan held the largest military power in the country, and when the opposite sex was crowned king, he was in the limelight.
?? If not His Majesty childless.
??How could he see himself as a border county king who has no real power.
??Wei Wenxu sat first on the right, poured himself a glass of wine and drank it in one sip, and glanced at the young boy opposite—if he wanted to secure the position of prince for a long time in the future, he might even become emperor.
??It is necessary to establish a good relationship with this future prince.
??It's just that the king of Yunnan has been stationed in the southern border for these years and has never entered Beijing, let alone interfered in internal affairs.
??At the moment when the military power is very turbulent, this younger brother was ordered to enter Beijing.
?? Also said what is "important".
??Wei Wenxu held the wine glass and weighed the weight of this sentence over and over again.
??Then Wang Yin couldn't see that Wei Wenxu was in a bad mood today, so he came up to toast again, "Cousin Wang, we met again recently..."
??Before he finished speaking, Wei Wenxu interrupted displeasedly: "Your Majesty, you are too polite, why are you calling me cousin?"
?? "The king of the county wants to marry his cousin, isn't he my cousin of Wang Yin? From now on, we will be a family, so I will respect this glass of wine first..."
?? Wei Wenxu frowned slightly, and Wang Yin really saw something wrong.
?? I thought: Could it be that the Guangling County King had an unhappiness with his cousin Li Xuan?
?? With a smile on his face: "Cousin Li Xuan has been in the army for many years, and naturally has a tough personality. If there is something to offend..."
??Wei Wenxu has always been courteous to the Li family three points, but today, for some reason, he just kept showing off the cousin of the Li family.Didn't say a word.
??Wang Yin was not pleased, so he sat back down in despair.
?? "I had a fight... Hey, couples, quarreling at the head of the bed and at the end of the bed, it's normal, it's normal..."
?? "The empress hosts a banquet, isn't she not allowed to enter after the third rank?" Wei Wenxu summoned the manager, raised his voice and asked, and the Wang family immediately fell silent and dared not speak any more.
?? "The Lord Wang is General Li's cousin after all, and he came here with General Li's post..." The manager explained, seeing that Wei Wenxu's face was not good, he quickly winked.
??Teaching people to 'please' that Mr. Wang went back first.
??The people sitting in that hall were all fine people, and now they looked at each other with matching expressions—something seemed not quite right.
??Why is it that the King of Guangling County and General Li's Mansion want to draw a clear line.
?? Could it be that the rumors are false.
??The King of Guangling did not intend to marry the Li family.
??Pei Hanlin looked in front of him as if he was singing an opera again. He just felt bored, so he looked outside the palace door again——
?? Why hasn't Yu Luo come yet?
?? This morning, I saw that he was very listless. He must be sick.
?? "The empress is here."
?? Another eunuch announced at the top of his voice outside, and he saw the queen walking slowly into the hall, covered in pearls and emeralds, with a snow-white forehead ornament on her forehead, and two tassels hanging between her eyebrows.
?? Step calm and dignified.
??The neck is as slender as the white crane, and it takes a step at a time, holding a good posture.
?? It is said that the Yu family has a good-looking life.
?? Really true.
??The last time many people saw Empress Yu was at the canonization ceremony of the imperial concubine many years ago.
??For so many years, the queen has lived in the Buddhist hall, but her appearance has never changed. Her demeanor is dignified and dignified.
?? "I have been fasting for many years, today's palace banquet is still mainly vegetarian dishes. I hope you adults will not get used to it."
??Empress Yu has always been friendly, and with a few words, the atmosphere in the hall that had been silent for a long time was once again lively.
?? "How could it be, the empress has a bodhisattva heart, and she will be blessed by God."
?? "It's better to be a vegetarian. The locust plague in Longxi hasn't been resolved yet. Why don't you save some money and pray for blessings?"
?? "The empress is still looking ahead."
?? Empress Yu looked down, but she couldn't find her nephew, so she turned her eyes to the little prince on the left.
?? The little prince only shook his head at her.
??The eye contact between the Queen and Prince Pei was caught by Wei Wenxu.
?? He was holding the wine glass, and suddenly he had a bad premonition in his heart.
??Yu Jia, King of Yunnan.
?? Suddenly raised eyelids.
??Could it be that this palace banquet——
??Outside the hall, under the long steps, Yu Luo, wearing a heavy headdress, just got off the sedan chair, and was supported by Yuan Niang.
?? "Hurry up, young master, go in and make amends first, after all, I was late for a while."
?? Yu Luo nodded obediently.
??Yuanniang entrusted all his belongings to the maid who came to serve her, "My servant can only wait for you outside, don't worry, this servant is always here."
Seeing Yu Luo's depressed mood, Yuanniang said a few words of relief and lowered her voice, "Young master, you can see if there is anyone you like in the palace. But in my opinion, it seems that Prince Pei is the most good."
?? Yu Luo pursed her lips and gave a low "hmm".
?? Then set foot on the steps to go.
??The long steps are really long. Although the autumn wind is cold, I was panting slightly after climbing a few steps, and my face was a little red, not as pale as in the morning.
??He took a long breath, and let the little eunuch open the door for him resignedly.
?? "Young Prince Yu has arrived."
??Yu Luo thought it was a family banquet, but he didn't expect there to be so many people, there were several rows, and it was impossible to tell who was who.
??No one knows.
??I don't know if it was because of being late, but Yu Luo always felt that others were looking at him, and his face flushed a little, and his footsteps became a little hurried.The rattle beside his ears jingled, and his face seemed to flicker, as if he wasn't used to such an occasion.
?? Don't punish me.
?? I really didn't mean to be late.
??The main hall was already spacious, but it was too quiet at the moment. Yu Luo thought to himself what kind of high-end party this was. Everyone just drank tea and wine in silence without talking.
?? How embarrassing.
?? Really too quiet.
?? Yu Luo felt that many eyes fell on him.
?? You need to know that the groom should drive faster and not be late.
?? so embarrassing.
?? "Emperor..."
?? As soon as Yu Luo just got up and couldn't remember to speak, he heard the queen waving at him very gently. After raising his eyes to meet each other, the queen's eyes burst out with surprise, but he still maintained a dignified sitting posture.
?? "Ah Luo, come, come to my aunt."
??The sound is getting softer.
?? Yu Luo breathed a sigh of relief.
?? Although the scene was formal, the queen had no airs at all, and the friendly tone made him feel much more comfortable.
??When I got up, I felt two eyes, one left and one right.
??Yu Luo looked to the right and met Wei Wenxu's astonished eyes.
??His eyes seem to be very complicated, and his eyes are constantly looking back and forth between his aunt and himself.
?? Yu Luo obediently climbed up a few more steps. Empress Yu taught someone to add a small table beside her and put some food on it.
?? But Yu Luo didn't have an appetite, so he only picked two dishes and took two bites politely.
?? Pei Hanlin frowned again - he really ate too picky.
??But at this time, there was no disgust in his eyes from a few days ago.
?? Wei Wenxu saw Yu Luo and Pei Hanlin looking at each other subtly, their eyes getting deeper and deeper, as if they suddenly figured out something.
?? Although he and Yu Luo had made a marriage contract for a year.
??But this was the first time Wei Wenxu saw this young prince Yu in public.
??In the past, Mrs. Yu obviously suppressed him and refused to let him go out, for fear that he would be ashamed, but now she let him into the palace banquet for the first time.
??And he, let alone embarrassing the Yu family.
?? It's just—
?? Wei Wenxu glanced at the many courtiers and family members with envious and complicated eyes, and an indescribable anger suddenly arose in his heart, which he couldn't suppress.
?? After a glass of wine, when he looked at the young prince Pei in front of him, his eyes were already different.
??Wei Wenxu has always inspected people with a strong color.
?? He thought, he seemed to be able to guess what the "important matter" the little prince was talking about.
??That's why Queen Yu put on such a big show, so Yu Luo, who had always been suppressed in the mansion and kept from seeing others, was released.
?? Mrs. Yu's ability is so great that in a short period of time, she was able to hook up with the Yunnan Prince's Mansion.
??I'm afraid I didn't think of a move long ago.
??The king of Guangling County drank a sip of strong wine and felt sore and bloated, almost turning into anger.
?? No wonder Yu Luo suddenly became alienated after he broke off the engagement. He treated him coldly and didn't want to redeem him at all.
?? There is also this layer of relationship in the co-authorship.
??Pei Hanlin noticed the gaze on the other side, and moved his gaze over.
?? That is a pair of eyes without timidity.
?? "Aren't you hungry, Auntie will teach you what you like to eat."
??Empress Yu didn't seem to expect that she wouldn't see her for a few years, and Yu Luo looked very different from before.He didn't want his elder brother and mother to say he was a surly second-generation ancestor, but he thought he was a well-behaved child at first glance.
?? The appearance is not to mention, elegant and elegant, with a childish look still in the outline.
??The elegant demeanor that can't be suppressed even in the dark color of a crow.
??Like his mother.
?? It was an unexpected surprise.
?? Go back and find a teacher to let him learn calligraphy and practice riding and shooting. Isn't she the top beauty in Jinling City?
?? Is the tea so delicious?
?? If it's so delicious, why don't you pour me a cup.
?? Yu Luo froze there angrily.
?? He felt that Lin Ji was either in a bad mood today, or he was deliberately keeping a distance from him.
?? He can coax him when he is in a bad mood, but if he intends to push himself away, what else can he do.
??I chose to stick to it with no skin and no face at the beginning. Is it possible that I can still retreat now??
?? "Lin Ji."
??Yu Luo's voice became a little stiffer. This was the first time he called him by his first name.
??The man heard the words and finally looked up at him: "Huh?"
?? "You haven't answered me yet."
??Even if you refuse, I want to listen to you every word, and speak seriously.
?? Yu Luo's eyes were full of stubbornness.
?? Lin Ji paused, and said, "I will stay in Jinling City, and next year I will have a palace exam."
"But!" Yu Luo hesitated for a moment, and retorted in a nasal voice, "The palace test is not that simple, and it's not completely fair. You, you can't pass high school!"
?? Lin Jiyan swept away slowly.
??Holding the cup in his hand, rubbing his fingertips slightly, he suddenly turned his head to look at Yu Luo: "Who told you this?"
?? Before Yu Luo could answer, he turned his eyes away, and the candlelight flickered, casting a beautiful shadow on his crow-like eyelashes, and he returned to that indifferent appearance, "Young Lord Pei?"
?? The freshly boiled water on the table was gurgling.
??Such as buzzing ear-piercing.
??Yu Luo's eyes were red. He thought Lin Ji didn't believe it, and knew that Pei Hanlin would not lie. Being in a high position, he naturally saw more than others, so he slapped his hand on the table, "You don't understand these things, You'll know when you pass the exam. I'm..." Yu Luo couldn't think of any other reason, so he could only expose his identity and forcefully convince the other party, "I'm the young son of Xuanpinghou's mansion. Marry me Could it be, isn't it more cost-effective than that vague palace test?"
?? Lin Ji looked away, propped up his chin with one hand, and looked lazy.
?? "You trust him so much, every word and every word is in your heart. Why don't you let him call off the marriage, and instead come here to ask me for advice." This tone became more polite, and Yu Luo was anxious.
?? Do you think I don't want to.
?? I said it a long time ago!
"I found it." Yu Luo's voice was aggrieved.
?? However, he also had to listen to his elder brother, the King of Yunnan, and this marriage was not something he could push off whenever he wanted.
?? He has persuaded him two or three times, and there are also people who are in a difficult situation - they are all powerful and powerful family members. Yu Luoke knows this feeling. It can be said that he empathizes with Pei Hanlin's difficulties and cannot bear to be harsh.
?? If I have other ways, how can I think of elopement.
??Lin Ji rubbed the dry scroll with his fingertips, and with slight movements of his thin white fingertips, he turned another page of the book.
??This time, the voice was a little lower, "He refused."
?? It is clearly a question, but it seems to be very stable.Yu Luo didn't understand why he still had time to spy on Pei Hanlin.As long as he can figure it out, is it necessary for Pei Hanlin to come over and persuade him to elope.
??At the moment when he can't wait, he is still talking about him.
??Is it that difficult for you to elope with me??
?? you just—
??Do you not like me?
?? Yu Luo clenched his fists and stood helplessly, neither taking a step forward nor taking a step back.
??Then sniffed, the grievance in my heart became more and more uncomfortable, but this time I was stubborn and didn't cry, holding back my tears, "Are you going to follow me or not?"
??He has to ask for a clear answer.
?? Lin Ji then put down the book.
??Throw out two words clearly and understandably: "Don't go."
?? After finishing speaking, there was still a hateful smile on the corner of his mouth, "Ah Luo, don't be childish, this is not fun. Elopement is only romantic in picture books—"
?? Fun?
??romantic?
??The anger in my heart could no longer be suppressed, and I threw the candle in my hand to the ground vigorously. Lin Ji's figure suddenly swayed across the table and directly grabbed his wrist, but there was no time to stop it.
?? There was a bang under the feet, and the flames immediately splashed.
??The hot lamp oil dripped down on fire, already burning the back of Yu Luo's hand.
??The flame burned to the corner of Xiao Shizi's clothes, Lin Ji bent down, and extinguished it with the scroll he was holding.
?? Roll up the sleeves at the wrists you are holding.I saw that Xiao Shizi's wrist was hot and bright red, and there was a tendency of blistering in the severe part.
??Yu Luo didn't expect that the lamp was cold in his hand, but the lamp oil inside was so hot, and it would spill out just by smashing it like this.
?? It hurts like hell.
??I regretted it on the spot.
??No matter what, you can't hurt yourself, it hurts too much!
??Bowed up and stretched out his hand to cover his wrist, but Lin Jiyan quickly restrained the other hand: "Don't touch it."
??Looking at how painful he was about to cry, Lin Ji went outside to fetch a basin of water, put a soaked veil on his wrist to cool down, and then instructed, "Don't scratch it."
?? Another three steps and two steps to the house to get the powder.
??"pain……"
??Although it was covered with a cold water veil, it was still hot and painful.
??Yu Luo was already feeling uncomfortable, but now he couldn't hold back anymore. Tears were streaming down his face, but he still refused to make a sound, enduring the pain in his throat and turning his face away.
?? Don't let him see his distressed expression of crying.
?? Lin Ji fetched a small bottle of wine from nowhere, wiped the reddened area with a handkerchief, and swirled it to cool down.
??It was cold, and the unbearable pain eased a little.
?? "You are not very young, but you have a good temper."
?? Lin Ji said while wiping, "Why are you so angry all of a sudden?"
"I've always had a bad temper." Yu Luo thought of his reputation outside, and threatened forcefully, "Don't think that I'm someone easy to deal with."
??Like a grinning little sheep.
?? Lin Ji silently glanced at him.
??He took some medicine powder and touched the medicine bottle with his fingertips. As soon as he sprinkled a little on it, Yu Luo immediately pulled his hand back, but his palm was tightly held, "Don't move."
?? After entering the house, I took out a roll of clean gauze.
?? Yu Luo finally couldn't help but asked, "Why do you have everything?"
?? "People who don't have money to see a doctor are like this. If there is any minor illness or disaster, you have to deal with it yourself." Lin Ji curled his lips and responded calmly, "If the prince doesn't like these things, you can go to the mansion to ask for help." The doctor will come back and make some better ones. It’s just that we are in a hurry right now, so we have to bandage like this first.”
?? How could it mean to despise you.
??I've taken a fancy to you, why can't I take a fancy to your things??
?? Yu Luo was still on fire.
"If you don't like me, leave me alone." He glared fiercely at the man in front of him.
?? Lin Ji tied a beautiful bow around his wrist, grabbed the slender wrist that was wrapped in gauze, and said deliberately, "You have such a bad temper, you have to take care of it."
?? I can say that I have a bad temper!
??You can not!
?? Moreover, no one ever told him that he had a bad temper in his previous life.
?? They all said he was very sensible.
?? It is said that this world has entered the body of this cannon fodder, and it is rare to get angry once, but the blame is completely blamed.
??Wei Wenxu, his grandmother, and even Li Xuan came to say that he was surly, and he admitted it.He didn't care anyway.
??But he has been so kind to Lin Ji all the way, why should he say that he has a bad temper.
?? "You also know that I have a bad temper. You can leave if you want, and you don't have to endure me every day." He gave up on himself.
?? Lin Ji laughed, "But where do I live when I go out? I'm penniless..."
?? Yu Luo turned his head and stared at him.
??you know too!You are now a body!none!point!arts!!
?? Then why don't you marry my little mobile gold mine on the spot? !
??Lin Ji held his hand all the time, and the dry and warm palm conveyed the temperature to him, calming down the uncontrollable restlessness in Yu Luo's heart a little.
?? "You want to elope with me, then have you thought about which direction we are going to go?"
?? Lin Ji asked calmly.
??Yu Luo was stopped by the question.
?? "Have you thought about what we will use to buy a carriage and make up for it?"
?? I will answer this question.
??Yu Luo immediately raised his hand to touch the hairpin on top of his head. This hairpin is worth at least two hundred baht!
?? "You can't sell what you have on your body. Once you sell it, you will be traced."
?? Lin Jiye glanced at him, and stopped the conversation before he could speak.
"You don't have much talent, and you can't do physical work. Even if you get out by chance, what will you do to make a living in the future?"
?? These three consecutive questions left Yu Luo speechless.
?? "Elopement is not such a simple matter. If you accidentally get caught, you will be fine, but I will be dead." Lin Ji's tone did not seem to be discussing something fatal, but rather calm, Like nothing to do with me.
"Then what should I do? My grandmother said that tomorrow my empress and aunt will issue a decree to confer a marriage. By then, this matter will be finalized and there will be no room for change."
Seeing that he also wanted to discuss, Yu Luo held Lin Ji's hand tightly in a hurry, like a drowning man holding a piece of driftwood.
??Lin Ji stretched out his hands to rub the back of his head comfortingly, and said, "You can't think of anything. What else can you do about this—your brother is the second assistant to the cabinet, and your aunt It's the queen of the court. They have made up their minds, and you have no choice."
??Hand down, put down the sleeves for him, and tidy up the collar, "Stop thinking about it, why don't you go back and sleep first."
?? When Yu Luo heard this, his whole body collapsed.
?? Just want him to accept his fate.
?? OK, admit it.
?? When it comes to this point, he thinks it is!
??Anyway, it will be you, not me, who will be killed by the villain as soon as you ascend the throne.
?? If you want me to ignore you, don't regret it!
??Yu Luo's stubbornness came out again. This time, he didn't even cry out about the pain. He raised his head and looked at the pitch-black outside, sitting like a stuffy gourd.
?? Lin Ji gave him a sideways glance.
?? Said slowly, "The people in Jinling City, wearing a piece of human skin, hide a lot of things in their hearts and hearts. One idea a day, it's not accurate. Maybe tomorrow's marriage will not be given come down."
?? Yu Luo secretly rolled his eyes.
?? You are also called comfort.
??Too perfunctory, might as well not speak.
??The rain outside just stopped, Lin Ji put a coat on Yu Luo to keep out the chill of late autumn, "The night is very late, go to bed earlier."
?? Yu Luo's eyes were red, and he looked back at Lin Ji again.
?? I thought that there is still no fate.
?? Having children or something, getting married or something.
??I'm afraid this thought will end here.
??He didn't care at all anyway.
??From the beginning to the end, only he was wishful thinking.
?? Lin Ji seemed to be hooked by this look, and suddenly froze for a moment, and pulled Yu Luo back when he turned to leave.
"What are you doing?"
?? The rain under the eaves was dripping, and one drop hit his face, and slid down his cheek coldly.
??Yu Luo suddenly didn't want to cry anymore, and just wanted to leave quickly.
??But the bound arm was pulled, and Yu Luo fell behind, falling into a warm and soft embrace.
??The back is tightly attached, and he seems to be able to hear Lin Ji's gentle and powerful heartbeat.
??The man lowered his head, breathing behind his ears, and a half-laughter escaped his throat: "Why are you so sad, haven't you made an order yet?"
??Grandmother is determined to marry Yunnan Prince's Mansion, and my brother agrees.
?? This will be made tomorrow.
"Since your hand has been medicated, remember not to touch it with water tomorrow, let alone rub it. Although there are waiters at the palace banquet, you have to take care of it yourself."
?? Lin Ji let go of him, and pushed the person out for two steps, and went outside the courtyard, "Don't think so much, go back to sleep earlier, it will be fine when you wake up."
?? Nonsense.
?? simply can not be good.
??Yu Luo stood outside the courtyard, walked a few steps, and stopped again.
??Removed the hairpin on top of his head, turned around and ran back, and handed it to Lin Ji.
?? "What do you do with this?" Lin Ji asked.
"If you don't want to stay in the mansion, you can leave if you want. I won't keep you. This hairpin is worth some money, don't say you are penniless. I am reckless tonight, you have the right to pretend that I didn't come Let's go. Also, thank you for saving me, if there are any difficulties in the future..."
??Yu Luo choked up his words and took a deep breath, "It's still possible. You can come to me—if I'm still in Jinling City."
?? Xiao Shizi is saying goodbye.
??"Um."
??The hairpin that Lin Ji accepted, "I remember."
??Yu Luo didn't sleep well that night. He had a dream.Dreamed that he and Pei Hanlin got married, and then Lin Ji came and snatched his sedan chair.The elder brother killed him in a rage.
??Woke him up on the spot.
?? Birds were chirping outside, Yuanniang was picking out clothes for him, and when she saw someone woke up, she asked the maids to come forward and serve him.
??Yesterday, I was so drowsy from crying, and had another nightmare. Yu Luo couldn't think clearly until Yuanniang accidentally touched his wrist, which made him wake up suddenly.
?? "Ah, young master, what are you doing..."
"Yesterday I was accidentally burned by lamp oil." Yu Luo muttered.
"Then why did your hairpin disappear yesterday?" Yuanniang asked again.
?? "Just... disappeared."
?? He's not very good at lying, but Yuanniang only said so, and someone brought him some more expensive ones.
??After washing, dress up the person well.
?? This time it took a lot longer to dress up than last time, and the hair accessories were all luxurious.Under the sky-blue double breasts is a moon-white long skirt.Paired with a crow-green Suzhou embroidered brocade cloak, the whole person is full of indescribable luxury.
?? Too extravagant.
"Sister Yuan, how much is this worth?"
?? "This bracelet? It's very valuable. At least it's worth thousands of baht."
?? If I had known that I had so many good things, I would not have given that hairpin as a gift.
??Yu Luo looked at the jingling gold bracelet inlaid with agate and ruby on his wrist, and sighed slightly - even the parting gift was so poorly given.
?? But a white jade hairpin only.
?? "Is the son unhappy?"
?? Yuanniang combed his crown hair for him, "There are a lot of delicious food in the palace, which is unmatched in our house."
?? He looked uninterested.
?? Yuanniang follows the young master every day, and knows a thing or two about his thoughts.
??The story of a rich boy falling in love with a down-and-out scholar is the most sung in that teahouse. I never imagined that this matter could also fall on my little son.
?? Let’s talk about the little boy in the past, his eyes were higher than the top, and the people he fell in love with were either rich or noble.
??I wish I could fly directly to the branch and become that phoenix.
?? Until now, why are you so determined to be so poor and useless?
?? even temper has changed a lot.
?? Yuanniang hoped that the young master would understand some things and be more tempered.But now that her temper is getting better, she feels very distressed.
??Put a golden hairpin on the top of Yu Luo's head step by step, making his snow-like complexion even fairer.
??The tired look in his eyes made him look a little less energetic, and revealed some distressing tranquility.
?? How sick.
?? It was supposed to be a happy event.
?? Yuanniang sighed, and ordered a little vermilion for Yu Luo.
??The almond-like eyes are as bright as jade, and there seems to be no waves.
?? The corners of the lips that have been smiling recently are drooping now.
?? But this does not prevent this face from becoming more and more beautiful after dressing up.
??Yuanniang straightened up and looked at the appearance reflected in the bronze mirror, "Young master is really good-looking. Entering the palace today, the empress will definitely be surprised."
?? Yu Luo did not respond.
??***
?? After all, today is a rare event for the empress who has lived in the Buddhist hall for a long time. The aristocratic families in Jinling City are all proud of getting an invitation, and they are all overwhelmed to come.
?? But for some reason, there was no movement in General Li's mansion.
??Early in the morning, he quietly returned the post from the palace, saying that he was sick and said he couldn't go.
?? Then who doesn't know that Li Xuan grew up with his father in the border sandstorm and never suffered from any kind of illness all year round, so why he suddenly became ill.
?? Could it be that the rumors are true.
?? Rumor has it that the Duke of Guangling, who has just entered Jinling City for less than a year, has already married the youngest son of the Yu family - but because the eldest son is still young, he wants to wait two years before getting married.
??I never thought that the military power would be turbulent this year, and because of Empress Yu, His Majesty made up his mind to cut down the military power of the Yu family.
??The Guangling County King is about to be crowned prince again, so naturally he looks down on the declining Yu family.
?? Then he gave up that little son, and made a marriage contract with the upstart Li.
??This is just a rumor, and it is hard to tell what is true or false.
??The third son of the Yu family lives in seclusion, so there is no way to verify it.
??But now that the empress is hosting a banquet, Mrs. Li still hasn't come, as if she is confirming the rumor——
??Li Xuan knew that he had robbed Yu's family of marriage, so he didn't dare to come to the banquet.
??In fact, with the backing of Wei Wenxu, king of Guangling County, there is no need to be afraid of the Yu family coming here.
??The Li family is a future, but his cousin Wang Yin is only a sixth-rank official, but his arrogance is very arrogant.Hearing the gossip behind his back saying that Li Xuan offended Yu Luo, so he didn't dare to come to the queen's banquet, he immediately retorted: "Cousin Li Xuan didn't come because he offended the eldest son of the Yu family. After making a fuss, I'm not really afraid of the Yu family."
?? "But at any rate, Master Yu has some official positions in the court, and he also serves for His Majesty. In the end, you have to be cautious. It's normal if you don't come."
?? Then Wang Yin said arrogantly, "When the Guangling County King becomes the crown prince, then our cousin Li Xuan will be the crown princess and the emperor. No matter how powerful the Yu family is, he will also be a minister. There is nothing to be patient."
?? At the end, he made the false rumor that Yu Luo sent someone to hurt Li Xuan in the middle of the night to make a big deal out of it.
?? Said that the youngest son of the Yu family was jealous and surly, and his appearance was also vulgar. No wonder the county king had to divorce the engagement.
?? After a mouth addiction, he is comfortable.
??But thinking that today is the Queen's Empress's banquet, I returned a few words: "In the end, the Empress's Empress was born very well. But if the young son of the Yu family is more decent, he can get a little bit of the Empress's Empress. How could he have to end up in such a disgusting end."
?? There are voices of vassals around.
?? The steelyard in everyone's mind is looking at the same thing.
??The empress is honorable, but she has no children after all. She is still inferior to Wei Wenxu who will become His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in the future.Although Yu Ze is in a high position in the cabinet, his status is extremely noble.But Wei Wenxu's uncle, who is the chief assistant of the cabinet, has a higher official position than Yu Ze.
??And the military power in Yu Hou's hands, I am afraid that most of it will be transferred to Li's hands in the end.
?? Although the Yu family is powerful, but now, it is the Li family who cannot be offended.
?? Your Majesty is dying after all.
??The big guys are all mixed up in Jinling City, so they naturally know the severity——
??Whoever can become the new prince will be the king of Jinling City in the future.
?? A few words of chatting and laughing are about to cover up the too sharp topic just now.
??I never thought that I would turn my head and see an imposing figure striding into the hall, a deep crimson robe with wide sleeves was blowing the wind, a feather crown tied high on the top, sword eyebrows and star eyes so sassy.
?? Is a strange boy.
?? But the totem on his cuff is not unfamiliar, and he enters the palace without dropping his sword, which shows that he has a high status.
?? Is the little prince of the Yunnan Palace.
??Pei Hanlin.
??Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, secretly sighing that the people from the Yunnan Palace had entered Beijing at some point, and they hadn't heard any news before.
?? No wonder the empress, who hadn't hosted a banquet for a long time, suddenly hosted a banquet. It turned out that there were distinguished guests from afar.
?? The young man looked about sixteen or seventeen years old, and he was directly led by a court lady to sit in the first seat on the left.
"This one, but Prince Pei."
"Yes, I heard that Prince Pei has no children, and he doesn't plan to marry. The future throne will be passed on to this younger brother."
??Pei Hanlin doesn't like dealing with people, so the greetings are just a few words.He only poured wine and drank two glasses by himself, then looked outside the door, as if he was still waiting for someone.
??The indifferent eyes can only be a little tender when they glance at them.
??Seeing that it is almost time.
?? Wei Wenxu has always been well-mannered, and he always comes early.This time as expected.
?? He rarely attends such formal occasions. Although he has been in Beijing for a year, there are still many powerful children who have never seen this future His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.
?? So this time, as soon as I entered the palace.
?? Is the much-anticipated.
??Then Wang Yin rushed to cater to him to show his intimacy.But today for some reason, the face of the county king who has always been considerate to others turned dark, and he said several words and the other party ignored him.
?? For a while, I couldn't get down.
?? I was thinking a little bit, and I went back first with my tail between my legs.
?? I just saw that Wei Wenxu glanced around the hall, and called the chief executive to ask. After a few words, he saw that the chief shook his head, and the face of the county king turned even darker.
?? When walking forward, I saw a young man who was unfamiliar with the first seat on the left, and I would deduce his identity later.His eyes suddenly changed.
??Pei Hanlin had just finished drinking the glass of wine in front of him. He got some taste and wanted to have some more.
?? "I didn't expect to see Prince Pei here."
??Wei Wenxu has always been a man, so he immediately took the wine from the opposite table and poured it for Pei Hanlin himself, "I don't know if Brother Ling has entered Beijing together?"
?? "My brother is naturally in the southern border. I entered Jinling City for important business."
??Pei Hanlin didn't speak like these officials in Jinling City, who used to cover up the truth.
?? His response is very direct.
?? "Prince Pei has been exhausted all the way." Wei Wenxu put himself in the position of master by saying this.
?? When Pei Hanlin heard about the cheapness in his words, he just snorted coldly in his heart, toasted another glass of wine but did not answer.
?? It means that I don't want to talk to him again.
??Wei Wenxu knew that he didn't like him at all-the king of Yunnan held the largest military power in the country, and when the opposite sex was crowned king, he was in the limelight.
?? If not His Majesty childless.
??How could he see himself as a border county king who has no real power.
??Wei Wenxu sat first on the right, poured himself a glass of wine and drank it in one sip, and glanced at the young boy opposite—if he wanted to secure the position of prince for a long time in the future, he might even become emperor.
??It is necessary to establish a good relationship with this future prince.
??It's just that the king of Yunnan has been stationed in the southern border for these years and has never entered Beijing, let alone interfered in internal affairs.
??At the moment when the military power is very turbulent, this younger brother was ordered to enter Beijing.
?? Also said what is "important".
??Wei Wenxu held the wine glass and weighed the weight of this sentence over and over again.
??Then Wang Yin couldn't see that Wei Wenxu was in a bad mood today, so he came up to toast again, "Cousin Wang, we met again recently..."
??Before he finished speaking, Wei Wenxu interrupted displeasedly: "Your Majesty, you are too polite, why are you calling me cousin?"
?? "The king of the county wants to marry his cousin, isn't he my cousin of Wang Yin? From now on, we will be a family, so I will respect this glass of wine first..."
?? Wei Wenxu frowned slightly, and Wang Yin really saw something wrong.
?? I thought: Could it be that the Guangling County King had an unhappiness with his cousin Li Xuan?
?? With a smile on his face: "Cousin Li Xuan has been in the army for many years, and naturally has a tough personality. If there is something to offend..."
??Wei Wenxu has always been courteous to the Li family three points, but today, for some reason, he just kept showing off the cousin of the Li family.Didn't say a word.
??Wang Yin was not pleased, so he sat back down in despair.
?? "I had a fight... Hey, couples, quarreling at the head of the bed and at the end of the bed, it's normal, it's normal..."
?? "The empress hosts a banquet, isn't she not allowed to enter after the third rank?" Wei Wenxu summoned the manager, raised his voice and asked, and the Wang family immediately fell silent and dared not speak any more.
?? "The Lord Wang is General Li's cousin after all, and he came here with General Li's post..." The manager explained, seeing that Wei Wenxu's face was not good, he quickly winked.
??Teaching people to 'please' that Mr. Wang went back first.
??The people sitting in that hall were all fine people, and now they looked at each other with matching expressions—something seemed not quite right.
??Why is it that the King of Guangling County and General Li's Mansion want to draw a clear line.
?? Could it be that the rumors are false.
??The King of Guangling did not intend to marry the Li family.
??Pei Hanlin looked in front of him as if he was singing an opera again. He just felt bored, so he looked outside the palace door again——
?? Why hasn't Yu Luo come yet?
?? This morning, I saw that he was very listless. He must be sick.
?? "The empress is here."
?? Another eunuch announced at the top of his voice outside, and he saw the queen walking slowly into the hall, covered in pearls and emeralds, with a snow-white forehead ornament on her forehead, and two tassels hanging between her eyebrows.
?? Step calm and dignified.
??The neck is as slender as the white crane, and it takes a step at a time, holding a good posture.
?? It is said that the Yu family has a good-looking life.
?? Really true.
??The last time many people saw Empress Yu was at the canonization ceremony of the imperial concubine many years ago.
??For so many years, the queen has lived in the Buddhist hall, but her appearance has never changed. Her demeanor is dignified and dignified.
?? "I have been fasting for many years, today's palace banquet is still mainly vegetarian dishes. I hope you adults will not get used to it."
??Empress Yu has always been friendly, and with a few words, the atmosphere in the hall that had been silent for a long time was once again lively.
?? "How could it be, the empress has a bodhisattva heart, and she will be blessed by God."
?? "It's better to be a vegetarian. The locust plague in Longxi hasn't been resolved yet. Why don't you save some money and pray for blessings?"
?? "The empress is still looking ahead."
?? Empress Yu looked down, but she couldn't find her nephew, so she turned her eyes to the little prince on the left.
?? The little prince only shook his head at her.
??The eye contact between the Queen and Prince Pei was caught by Wei Wenxu.
?? He was holding the wine glass, and suddenly he had a bad premonition in his heart.
??Yu Jia, King of Yunnan.
?? Suddenly raised eyelids.
??Could it be that this palace banquet——
??Outside the hall, under the long steps, Yu Luo, wearing a heavy headdress, just got off the sedan chair, and was supported by Yuan Niang.
?? "Hurry up, young master, go in and make amends first, after all, I was late for a while."
?? Yu Luo nodded obediently.
??Yuanniang entrusted all his belongings to the maid who came to serve her, "My servant can only wait for you outside, don't worry, this servant is always here."
Seeing Yu Luo's depressed mood, Yuanniang said a few words of relief and lowered her voice, "Young master, you can see if there is anyone you like in the palace. But in my opinion, it seems that Prince Pei is the most good."
?? Yu Luo pursed her lips and gave a low "hmm".
?? Then set foot on the steps to go.
??The long steps are really long. Although the autumn wind is cold, I was panting slightly after climbing a few steps, and my face was a little red, not as pale as in the morning.
??He took a long breath, and let the little eunuch open the door for him resignedly.
?? "Young Prince Yu has arrived."
??Yu Luo thought it was a family banquet, but he didn't expect there to be so many people, there were several rows, and it was impossible to tell who was who.
??No one knows.
??I don't know if it was because of being late, but Yu Luo always felt that others were looking at him, and his face flushed a little, and his footsteps became a little hurried.The rattle beside his ears jingled, and his face seemed to flicker, as if he wasn't used to such an occasion.
?? Don't punish me.
?? I really didn't mean to be late.
??The main hall was already spacious, but it was too quiet at the moment. Yu Luo thought to himself what kind of high-end party this was. Everyone just drank tea and wine in silence without talking.
?? How embarrassing.
?? Really too quiet.
?? Yu Luo felt that many eyes fell on him.
?? You need to know that the groom should drive faster and not be late.
?? so embarrassing.
?? "Emperor..."
?? As soon as Yu Luo just got up and couldn't remember to speak, he heard the queen waving at him very gently. After raising his eyes to meet each other, the queen's eyes burst out with surprise, but he still maintained a dignified sitting posture.
?? "Ah Luo, come, come to my aunt."
??The sound is getting softer.
?? Yu Luo breathed a sigh of relief.
?? Although the scene was formal, the queen had no airs at all, and the friendly tone made him feel much more comfortable.
??When I got up, I felt two eyes, one left and one right.
??Yu Luo looked to the right and met Wei Wenxu's astonished eyes.
??His eyes seem to be very complicated, and his eyes are constantly looking back and forth between his aunt and himself.
?? Yu Luo obediently climbed up a few more steps. Empress Yu taught someone to add a small table beside her and put some food on it.
?? But Yu Luo didn't have an appetite, so he only picked two dishes and took two bites politely.
?? Pei Hanlin frowned again - he really ate too picky.
??But at this time, there was no disgust in his eyes from a few days ago.
?? Wei Wenxu saw Yu Luo and Pei Hanlin looking at each other subtly, their eyes getting deeper and deeper, as if they suddenly figured out something.
?? Although he and Yu Luo had made a marriage contract for a year.
??But this was the first time Wei Wenxu saw this young prince Yu in public.
??In the past, Mrs. Yu obviously suppressed him and refused to let him go out, for fear that he would be ashamed, but now she let him into the palace banquet for the first time.
??And he, let alone embarrassing the Yu family.
?? It's just—
?? Wei Wenxu glanced at the many courtiers and family members with envious and complicated eyes, and an indescribable anger suddenly arose in his heart, which he couldn't suppress.
?? After a glass of wine, when he looked at the young prince Pei in front of him, his eyes were already different.
??Wei Wenxu has always inspected people with a strong color.
?? He thought, he seemed to be able to guess what the "important matter" the little prince was talking about.
??That's why Queen Yu put on such a big show, so Yu Luo, who had always been suppressed in the mansion and kept from seeing others, was released.
?? Mrs. Yu's ability is so great that in a short period of time, she was able to hook up with the Yunnan Prince's Mansion.
??I'm afraid I didn't think of a move long ago.
??The king of Guangling County drank a sip of strong wine and felt sore and bloated, almost turning into anger.
?? No wonder Yu Luo suddenly became alienated after he broke off the engagement. He treated him coldly and didn't want to redeem him at all.
?? There is also this layer of relationship in the co-authorship.
??Pei Hanlin noticed the gaze on the other side, and moved his gaze over.
?? That is a pair of eyes without timidity.
?? "Aren't you hungry, Auntie will teach you what you like to eat."
??Empress Yu didn't seem to expect that she wouldn't see her for a few years, and Yu Luo looked very different from before.He didn't want his elder brother and mother to say he was a surly second-generation ancestor, but he thought he was a well-behaved child at first glance.
?? The appearance is not to mention, elegant and elegant, with a childish look still in the outline.
??The elegant demeanor that can't be suppressed even in the dark color of a crow.
??Like his mother.
?? It was an unexpected surprise.
?? Go back and find a teacher to let him learn calligraphy and practice riding and shooting. Isn't she the top beauty in Jinling City?
