The sick beauty has caught the bamboo horse

Somehow, once this thought came to Zhou Qingyan's mind, it was like thousands of threads on a weaving girl's loom.

After Bai Qingrou performed the dance, she calmly returned to her seat. After that, many noble ladies came up to perform, many of whom were amazingly talented, but none of them were as touching as Bai Qingrou's dance.

Bai Qingrou didn't care the slightest bit about this drama called "Performing Arts" which was actually a competition for favor, she lowered her head and picked up two chopsticks, trying to drive Chu Heng out of her mind, but in the end she failed.

The girl couldn't help turning her eyes to Zhou Qingyan.

Others don't know Zhou Qingyan, but she does. This handsome man has been by Chu Heng's side since he was young. Until the Chu family was ransacked three years ago, she never saw Chu Heng again.

Now that three years have passed, Zhou Qingyan has become the unparalleled national teacher in the original country, so what about Chu Heng?

Bai Qingrou still didn't believe that Chu Heng was dead, she always harbored some kind of subtle hope.

Zhou Qingyan was in a complicated mood.He lowered his eyes slightly to avoid Bai Qingrou's gaze, and toasted the emperor with a smile: "I respect your majesty for a glass, and wish your majesty a blessing like the East Sea, and a longer life than Nanshan."

The emperor drank all the wine in his glass, giving Zhou Qingyan enough face.

After drinking for three rounds, the queen suddenly stood up: "The concubine prepared a birthday gift for the emperor in the imperial garden, and I invite the emperor to take a look."

The emperor's expression changed suddenly when he heard the empress's voice, it wasn't that cold, but he wasn't as relaxed and comfortable as he was facing Zhou Qingyan just now, and there was even a hint of disgust in the depths of his eyes.

The empress opened her mouth, and the originally lively banquet hall fell silent, but the emperor didn't speak --- the room suddenly fell into an awkward silence.

The emperor has a middle palace empress and two concubines. Concubine Qi gave birth to the third prince Yanji. Concubine Qian has the eldest prince Yanju and the second prince Yanhui. The birth mother of the sixth prince is a maid. The biological mothers of the other princes all died in dystocia.

The emperor's heirs can be considered prosperous, but the only thing that is incomprehensible is that nothing has come out of the middle palace so far.The emperor did not let the queen raise the several princes who had no biological mothers.

Such cold treatment almost made the queen nowhere to stand in the harem.The queen knew that this was punishment, punishment for her momentary confusion back then.

The emperor didn't speak until he saw that the smile on the woman's face was a little stiff, and then he said, "It's rare for a queen to be so thoughtful, so go and have a look."

The atmosphere became lively again in an instant.Empresses and concubines surrounded the emperor and went first, followed by the rest of the ministers, and the family members were last.

Zhou Qingyan drank two more glasses of wine and now his stomach was flustered, and his steps slowed down a bit. When he recovered, he was already at the end.Fortunately, men and women couldn't tell each other, a group of ladies and ladies deliberately avoided him, and Zhou Qingyan was just happy to be at ease.

"National teacher." Suddenly came a female voice like a clear spring from behind.

As soon as Zhou Qingyan turned around, Bai Qingrou was standing five steps behind him, still wearing a red dress, with clear eyes.

Zhou Qingyan was alone, and Bai Qingrou deliberately stayed away from the crowd. At this moment, everything was quiet and there were only the two of them.Man: "Miss Bai."

Bai Qingrou bit her lower lip tightly: "I never thought that the national teacher of a totalitarian minister would be you."

When she was young, she was still learning piano, chess, calligraphy and painting in the middle school, and she happened to catch a glimpse of the Chu family's son outside the Luohua window, and she never forgot her love since then.

The son of the Chu family will always be accompanied by a more handsome young man, handsome and upright, chivalrous and unassuming.She stared at Chu Heng back then, and Chu Heng's eyes followed Zhou Qingyan forever.

Unexpectedly, once Chu Heng's family was ruined, she would never find a word about her sweetheart.Until now, Zhou Qingyan, as the national teacher, once again stood arrogantly in front of everyone.

The other high-spirited young man back then disappeared.

Bai Qingrou really wanted to question Zhou Qingyan: The Chu family treated you so well back then, now that you have the emperor's trust, why don't you reverse the case for the Chu family?

As soon as the girl raised her head to meet Zhou Qingyan's calm eyes, her heart suddenly seemed to be poured with cold water, and her body suddenly trembled.

This is the Royal Garden. Although there is no one around, there is no guarantee that there will be no eyeliner. If Zhou Qingyan's identity is exposed, wouldn't it harm him?Bai Qingrou knew how much Chu Heng cared about Zhou Qingyan, and she absolutely couldn't do this.

Zhou Qingyan didn't know whether he was happy or worried now, Bai Qingrou was both talented and smart, no matter how he looked at it, he matched Chu Heng very well.

There is still a person in this world who misses Chu Heng so much, he should be happy, but for some reason, Zhou Qingyan feels like a heavy stone is pressing down on his heart, and he can't make a smile no matter what.

Facing Zhou Qingyan, Bai Qingrou's eyes suddenly froze: "There is someone behind you!"

Zhou Qingyan suddenly felt like a light on his back, and turned around at a lightning speed, and as expected, a figure rushed past.

The man couldn't help frowning, it was Jiang Xuhan.According to the identity of the leader of the forbidden army, the eldest son, there should be no need to sneak into the imperial garden.

So what is he trying to do in a night suit?

Bai Qingrou's voice trembled slightly: "Zhou, Zhou Qingyan."

The person who heard it turned around, and he couldn't say a single serious word to the woman: "It's okay, you can rest assured. It's getting late, you'd better go back to Mrs. Bai's side earlier."

After Zhou Qingyan said this, he raised his legs and wanted to leave, but Bai Qingrou suddenly stopped him before he took a few steps: "Zhou Qingyan, if you are still alive, then..."

Zhou Qingyan didn't pause: "Maybe."

Bai Qingrou's eyes suddenly lit up with light.

Zhou Qingyan was already the last one when he came to the center of the imperial garden. The emperor was on the high seat, and it was rare for him to have a little good face towards the queen.

In the empty space of the Imperial Garden, the five young eunuchs were panting with exhaustion. In the center was a refined steel cage that was as high as two people. The iron pillars that were as thick as the forearm of an adult man formed an oval cage.

"Roar!"

Standing at the outermost edge of the crowd, Zhou Qingyan could vaguely feel the oppression of the sound waves, and looked closely at the iron cage that was shutting up the adult lion!

As soon as Zhou Qingyan saw this lion, he knew why the queen was so favored by the emperor.

This lion is all white.Although the emperor doesn't like white, the legendary white lion and white elephant have always been the embodiment of auspiciousness. Isn't the white lion's birth to the world auspicious?

The Empress's eyes finally showed a bit of laughter: "This is a lucky thing that the concubine got the day before His Majesty's birthday. Presumably, God inspired His Majesty to govern the country diligently, so I bestowed a white lion to wish His Majesty a long life."

The words were so level that the emperor almost smiled and narrowed his eyes instantly: "The empress is worthy of being my virtuous wife."

Zhou Qingyan took a careful look at the emperor's side --- Su Qing was not there, and looked at the emperor again, except for being excited about that idea, he didn't speak again.

The man looked at the queen with pity, even though he spent so much effort, it was of no avail.

However, since the queen made such a start, the big gift he prepared can be taken out.Who would have thought that before Zhou Qingyan could speak, the fourth prince Yan Yun suddenly stood up.

Yan Yun looked triumphant: "Father, my son also got a rare item and would like to dedicate it to Father."

The emperor was attracted by the queen's white lion: "Oh, what is it?"

Yan Yun immediately asked someone to present a birdcage --- inside was a colorful bird.

This bird is a little different from other birds, not to mention bright and bright feathers, and a pointed and long beak. As soon as Yan Yun opened the cage, it couldn't wait to fly out. high altitude.

The bright feathers are flying in the air, coupled with the silver light of the moonlight, it is even more exciting.

Everyone couldn't help but be amazed.

"Fourth prince, this bird is really beautiful."

"I've never seen such a bird, the Fourth Prince is really filial."

······

Zhou Qingyan curled his lips silently in the dark, unable to deny it.

The emperor was full of admiration: "Fourth brother, can you let him come to my side?"

Yan Yun: "I obey." Immediately afterwards, he took out a whistle and blew it sharply, and the sharp whistle rang throughout the imperial garden.

Many older ministers felt uncomfortable for a while.

Zhou Qingyan was caught off guard by an ear shock, and suddenly felt his heart and lungs surge. The man's face turned ashen for a while, and he pressed his heart.

The pulp of his fingers faintly pressed a few times on the important acupuncture points on his heart, and the severe pain was barely suppressed.Zhou Qingyan took a deep breath. Although he was fine, his limbs were somewhat weak.

Fortunately, the banquet is almost over.

Zhou Qingyan breathed a sigh of relief, Su Bai rubbed his waist subconsciously with his hands, the girdle is useless so far, it is best that this waist injury give him face today, so that he can return home safely.

After Yan Yun in the crowd blew his whistle, the bird stopped and flew upwards, and flew towards the emperor with a flap of its wings.The latter raised his arm subconsciously, trying to get the bird to land on his arm.

During the flight, the bird suddenly sang, and then rushed towards the emperor at an even faster speed—it didn't stop on the hand, and it didn't stop at any place. Its sharp claws went straight to the emperor's chaotic eyes!

"what!"

The claws missed the emperor's eyes, but left several deep bloodstains on the face of the Ninth Five Lord.Blood gushed out of the emperor's face immediately.

With a scream, he fell backwards, and as soon as he fell on the dragon chair, he followed suit, and the screams of the maids and concubines behind him pierced the sky and fled in all directions.

Even the queen, who was grateful to Dade just now, backed away in panic: "Come on, help, help!"

Several court ladies and eunuchs besieged the bird, but this bird didn't know whether it was affected by the whistle or the scream just now. , the people who originally wanted to go were frightened and stopped.

So a funny scene happened before the forbidden army arrived: the timid concubines were in shock, and the bolder concubines said beside them: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty!"

All the court ladies and eunuchs surrounding the bird dared to step forward.

The bird's claws scratched the emperor's face with blood stains, and the golden dragon robe was also caught several times, leaving a lot of damage and looking very embarrassed.

Fortunately, Jiang Li, the leader of the forbidden army, came quickly. Jiang Li was in his prime, holding a bow and arrow and yelling, "Stay back!"

A group of people scattered with a whoosh, Jiang Li drew his bow like a full moon, and shot an arrow towards the bird with a hissing sound.

The arrow pierced through half of the bird's wing, and the bird immediately wailed and staggered away.Although the bird did not die, fortunately the emperor was saved.

Jiang Li quickly stepped forward to help the emperor up: "Your Majesty, I am too late to save you."

In a blink of an eye, another group of concubines rushed to help the emperor, who pushed all the concubines away: "Get lost!"

The emperor was still in shock when Jiang Li helped him up, his first reaction was to yell at Yan Yun: "Fourth brother, this is your birthday gift to me!"

Yan Yun's face had turned ashen ever since the bird was out of control, and he immediately knelt down when he heard the words: "Father, Father, my son didn't mean it."

This bird was given by Tang Yun, a female doctor he picked up on the side of the road a few days ago. When it was raised in the mansion, it was always very obedient. Not only did it have beautiful feathers, but it could also speak human language. That's when Yan Yun thought of giving it as a congratulatory gift.

The emperor was furious: "Come here, take the fourth prince down and punish him with fifty rods, and put him in a one-year confinement. Let him go to Lingguang Temple to copy Buddhist scriptures."

Yan Yun's legs trembled in fright: "Father, my son really didn't mean it!"

Before the imperial guards came up to pull people away, an unknown minister in the crowd suddenly called out: "The cage, the cage is open!"

Zhou Qingyan has been feeling uncomfortable since hearing the whistle, and he didn't bother to watch their dogs bite dogs, so he simply found a dark place and closed his eyes to rest his mind. Hearing this, his eyes widened suddenly.

"Roar!"

The cage made of fine steel was pecked off by a bird, and the chain fell to the ground with a bang. The next moment, the white lion jumped out of the cage.

The white lion's scarlet eyes scanned around slowly, with a mouth showing sharp teeth and a red tongue, and its eyes were firmly fixed on the emperor!

Jiang Li sacrificed himself to stand in front of the emperor: "Your Majesty, hurry up, and I will block you."

Seeing this, Zhou Qingyan suddenly realized: he finally knew what he was going to do if the Jiang family and his son couldn't ask for it.This is a risky move, it is a life-threatening gamble!
