…
Emperor Tianqi chuckled after hearing this, and quickly covered his mouth, almost losing his composure.
You just accepted God’s gift, and let others take it back if you wish.
Thinking of this, Tianqi couldn't help but want to laugh.
King Zhennan was not angry after hearing this. He was just slightly embarrassed. He stretched out his chubby hand to scratch his waist and said with a smile: "Hahaha, nephew, you are so naughty."
When the other princes saw this, they all suppressed their laughter, thinking that they deserved to have their warm faces pressed against their cold ass.
After a while.
All the kings saluted one after another, and then Emperor Tianqi stepped forward with a smile and said softly: "You have worked hard along the way. Today I will hold a banquet in the palace to welcome you and wash away the dust."
After hearing this, the princes had different expressions. Some responded with a smile, while others ignored it with a cold face, or even worse, it was as if they didn't hear anything.
Seeing this scene, Tianqi was not angry. He waved his hand and asked the palace people to prepare for the banquet.
When Lin Xi saw this, he thought, "Good guy, the kings of the royal family are no less generous than me. It seems that troubled times are not far away."
…
After a while.
Over the banquet.
Emperor Tianqi and the Queen were sitting on a high platform, and the eight kings were arranged on the left and right, followed by the princes, princesses, and civil and military officials.
Lin Xi was sitting alone under the high platform, her position was higher than that of a prince, but no one dared to say anything.
Because over the years, at the palace banquets, Lin Xi had always represented the old man from Beiliang, so naturally he also sat in the seat of the King of Beiliang.
Lin Xi, who was only three years old, was in this position, standing on the table and putting water on the table in front of everyone.
Compared to that time, now he can sit still and not cause trouble to others, which is already good.
Thinking of this, everyone let go of their unwillingness.
Emperor Tianqi glanced at Lin Xi who was snoring, smiled and waved his hand.
"Come here, pass the meal."
"No~"
"Your Majesty has a decree to pass on the meal~~"
The little eunuch shouted loudly.
Rows of beautiful palace ladies came forward slowly, holding delicacies in one hand and handkerchiefs in the other.
After a while, a group of enchanting palace dancers stepped onto the high platform in the middle and began to sing and dance. It was very lively.
King Jing'an drank two glasses of royal wine and looked at the queen with red eyes, frowning slightly and feeling uncontrollably angry.
It was clear that he had fallen in love with her first, but he never expected that she would be sitting next to him now.
After two glasses of wine, King Jingan became angrier and angrier as he thought about it. He looked at Tianqi with a cold face and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, what's the point of watching these women playing with Bai Ling?"
"We, Daxia, have always relied on force to build our country. Why don't we let my bodyguards come up and dance a song to cheer everyone up? What do you think, Your Majesty?"
Tianqi raised his eyebrows when he heard this, waved his hand nonchalantly and said, "Since Brother Wang is so interested, let's ask them to come up."
After hearing this, King Jingan narrowed his eyes and raised his hand to signal the guards behind him.
Upon seeing this, the captain of the guard bowed and said in a deep voice: "Du Tong, please bring someone on stage to dance for His Majesty."
Before he finished speaking, the King of Zhennan on the side hugged the beauty with one hand and held a wine glass with the other and said: "Hahaha, what's the point of just dancing with them? Ma Cheng, you also bring people up to dance to entertain His Majesty."
When the guard behind King Zhennan heard this, he licked the corner of his mouth provocatively and said, "No!"
King Jingan snorted coldly when he saw this, and a smile flashed in his eyes.
Under the high platform.
When Lin Xi saw this, she instantly became interested and no longer sleepy or lacking.
He immediately sat upright and pulled the palace maid next to him over, imitating King Zhennan and holding her in his arms.
Unexpectedly, there was a sudden pain in his waist. He immediately gritted his teeth and turned his head, but his pupils shrank.
Take a closer look, my dear, what kind of palace maid is this? This is obviously the third princess Xia Xixia!
Lin Xi's mouth trembled, her eyelids trembled, and she asked in surprise: "Why are you here?"
Xia Xixia blushed, pouted and said, "Humph, you don't care!"
Although the little girl said it hard, she was thinking in her heart that the mother was so crazy today. I went to beg her to cancel the engagement, but she actually wanted to lock up her little cutie and not let anyone come to attend. The party is so abominable!
Looking at the fuming Xia Xixia, smelling the fragrance coming from the tip of her nose, and feeling the softness on her hands, Lin Xi unknowingly complained: "Hey, it would be nice if you were more gentle."
Hearing the muttering in her ears, Xia Xixia's face darkened and she glared over fiercely. Those shiny little tiger teeth seemed to want to eat people.
"Lin Xi, who are you talking about!"
Lin Xi's mouth twitched, and she felt bad.
The next second, there was pain in the shoulder, and the two of them were fighting each other.
However, in the eyes of outsiders, it was Lin Xi who was teasing the little palace maid whom she caught from nowhere.
Seeing this scene, all the ministers were so angry that they almost had brain congestion.
Just as everyone in the Imperial College was about to impeach him, they suddenly heard a cry of killing and were so frightened that they collapsed on the ground.
Some of them were so frightened that they peed on the spot, the kind that made them squirt and couldn’t be squeezed...
On the stage.
Two teams, one red and one white, roared and rushed towards each other, their swords going straight to the vital points. It didn't look like a sparring match at all, but like life-and-death enemies.
"Kill, the Zhennan Army will win!"
"Kill! White Horse Camp, kill the enemy!"
"Boom~~~" a sound.
The two teams collided with each other, blood splattered everywhere, and shouts of killing shook the sky.
A flash of sword light flashed, blood mixed with sweat floated in the air, and everyone's eyes turned red.
Seeing this scene, Emperor Tianqi raised his eyebrows slightly.
The queen held the wine glass in one hand, with a trace of helplessness flashing through her beautiful eyes, and said softly: "The Zhennan Army has been at odds with the Tang Dynasty all year round. It is reasonable to have such force, but I did not expect that King Jing'an's Liangjiang Army , actually it’s not too much to give in to.”
As she said that, the queen glanced at the kings below and frowned when she saw that most of them were familiar with it.
Tianqi noticed her expression and turned to look at the other princes.
Of course, he could also imagine that since the others did not show any surprise, they either had already heard the news or had no fear in their hearts.
Thinking of this, Tianqi sighed secretly.
His own imperial army cost most of the imperial court's money, but it was not even comparable to a frontier army. In the end, he actually had to rely on the private armies of those aristocratic families to keep up appearances.
At the same time, Lin Xi and Xia Xixia finally had a temporary truce. They each sat on their chairs, gritting their teeth angrily and wanting to kick each other out.
The little girl glanced at Lin Xi angrily and said angrily: "If you point that way, I will almost fall to the ground."
After hearing this, Lin Xi twitched the corner of her mouth and said in a cold voice: "Why are you squeezing? The stool is only so big, where can I retreat?"
After hearing this, the little girl puffed her mouth angrily: "I don't care where you go, or you can just go and stand in the back. Just don't squeeze me."
Lin Xi narrowed her eyes when she heard this and said with a wicked smile: "Oh, are you sure?"
