Chapter 143: How is hob meat made?
"Hahaha!" Xia Jie heard Bi Yuntao speak and looked at the third prince being fished out like a drowned rat. A picture instantly appeared in his mind, and he laughed loudly regardless of the image.
"I didn't expect you, Prince Qi, a kid with a bad reputation, to be so mean to me." Xia Jie gave Bi Yuntao a thumbs up, "Dare to speak and act, don't hide anything, don't hide it, you really have a temperament The middle man!"
Regardless of his image, Xia Jie reached out and touched his nose, with a look of disdain on his face, he pointed at Sang and scolded Huai and said: "It's not like some people who are duplicitous and only know how to hide it. One thing in front of you and another behind your back, it's not the same thing. !Pooh!"
"Old man, who are you scolding?!" The expressions of both the Right and Left Prime Ministers changed and became gloomy.
The generals headed by Xia Jie looked down upon them the most, and they often slandered them secretly. Naturally, they knew about it, but after all, they were all officials in the government. They just had different positions, so they didn't care. But this time, if you say this directly in front of them, how could they not be angry!
"I'm talking about certain people, why are you so busy trying to match them?!" Xia Jie is also a person who has practiced his observation of words to the extreme. When he saw the two of them uniting the front, he knew that two fists could not withstand four hands, and one mouth could not withstand Dou Shuangkou snorted arrogantly, and said wisely: "Humph! What? Are some people not like you?!"
"Huh!" Seeing Xia Jie's surrender, the two of them snorted angrily, turned their hands away, and stopped talking to him.
"Your Highness! Are you okay?" Ji Youfu hurriedly helped the eldest prince, dusting him off, and asked thoughtfully.
"My prince is fine. I wonder how the third prince is doing?" The eldest prince looked at the third prince who was rescued by everyone, and asked Ji Youfu.
"It looks like there's nothing serious! But..." Ji Youfu hesitated for a moment, looked up at the sky, and said again: "Look at the sky, the auspicious time is probably coming soon. Even if the temperature is getting warmer now, I'm afraid the Third Prince It’s going to be cold too.”
Sure enough, just as Ji Youfu said, a screaming sound sounded at this moment.
"The Emperor has arrived!"
Everyone immediately dispersed, returned to their seats, and quickly knelt down and kowtowed.
"Long live my emperor! Long live! Long live!"
The first person to bear the brunt is the emperor, who is more than ten thousand people, followed closely by the empress dowager and empress empress, and only half a step behind them are the imperial concubine and the second prince's mother concubine Shu Concubine, followed by Among the other concubines, there is naturally the third prince's mother, Concubine Yue.
As the emperor approached, he saw the third prince sitting in a wheelchair, soaked and shivering.
Seeing his appearance, she frowned in displeasure and asked sternly, "Yunpeng, what's going on?!"
"Go back to the emperor!" Xia Jie jumped out one step ahead of the third prince, "I can see clearly that the third prince is in this state because of Zuo Xiang's fault. It was Zuo Xiang who pushed the third prince into the water."
"You!" The left prime minister also didn't expect that Xia Jie would actually hit him, and anxiously stepped forward to defend the emperor, "Your Majesty, don't listen to Xia Jie's nonsense. The right prime minister was responsible for everything. If he hadn't scolded Xia Jie for not understanding According to the rules, I will not be unable to dodge because of Xia Jie's thick phlegm, bump into the third prince, causing the third prince to fall into the water, let alone let the third prince be wet and shaking in the cold wind."
I have a saying about MMP that I don’t know whether to say or not! Right now, the Prime Minister only has this sentence in his mind. Why did he throw dirty water on me? !
Seeing that the emperor turned his attention to himself, the right minister quickly explained, "Your Majesty! Don't listen to the left minister's dirty talk! All of this was started by Xia Jie. If he hadn't laughed loudly because of King Qi's words, he ignored the monarch and his ministers. The difference is that even if I laugh at the Third Prince’s experience, I won’t reprimand him!”
"Your Majesty, don't listen to the right prime minister, they are all left prime ministers..."
"Your Majesty, don't listen to Xia Jie, he is the right prime minister..."
"Your Majesty, don't listen to the left prime minister, they are all Xia Jie..."
"Bah! You old guy, you are so slanderous!"
"Bah! You old dog, you are just spreading rumors to cause trouble!"
"Bah! You old man, you are simply making false accusations if you are not stupid!"
"enough!"
The emperor shouted angrily. The sound was so loud that everyone in the square could really hear it.
Now the emperor's head was as big as a bucket, and he watched them push four, five, six, and blame each other. My heart is full of fire. They are obviously important ministers of the country, but why do they have no sense of responsibility and are such a scoundrel? !
"You old guys, I'll take care of you after I finish offering incense and praying for blessings!" The emperor said in a bad tone, looking at Bi Yuntao, "And you! I heard what the right minister said, is there something about you in this?! "
"Exactly! This time you stand still for me until everyone leaves before you can move! If you dare to move during this period, I will see if I don't break your legs!"
After dealing with them, the emperor said to the third prince: "The auspicious time is coming soon. The matter of burning incense and praying for blessings is of great importance. I can only wrong you first." Then he turned to the guard on the side and ordered: "You go Get the third prince a fur coat and let him put it on."
The guard took the order, took off his cotton clothes without thinking, and put it on the third prince, "Your Highness, forgive me, the auspicious time is coming soon, and the day is really too cold. Your Highness will inevitably get cold if you go back and forth." If you get sick, I can only force Your Highness to wear small clothes to keep out the cold."
As the third prince was covered in cotton clothes, he finally felt a touch of warmth on his body, and nodded gratefully to him, "It doesn't matter, you are interested!"
"Your Majesty!" Eunuch Gui quietly took a step forward and reminded in a low voice, "It's getting late. If we delay it any longer, I'm afraid we'll miss the auspicious moment."
"Yes!" The emperor responded, "Hurry up and start! We can't miss the auspicious time. This is the queen's kindness."
Bi Yuntao looked at the three old guys biting each other with a speechless expression. Who the hell am I messing with? Why am I being punished when I'm so good? Forget it, isn’t it just a penalty for standing? It’s not like I’ve never stood guard before.
"The auspicious time has come!"
Following the order from the chanting officer, the emperor began to recite the chant, praise the emperor's merits, and pray for the blessings of all people in the world.
Bi Yuntao, on the other hand, stood as straight as a green pine, looking straight ahead, standing in a military posture.
Everyone present, except for the guards with swords, knelt on the ground and prayed to the world together with the emperor.
Of course, there was one exception, and that was the third prince who was drowned in the cold wind. He was the only one sitting comfortably. But he would rather not receive this kind of treatment. He would rather kneel on the ground with these people than be lame in one leg and sit in a wheelchair in the crowd. This thing is more uncomfortable than killing him.
Xia Jie took a look at Bi Yuntao and saw that he was standing in a strange posture. His tall and straight posture was like a green pine standing alone against the cold wind. He stood unshakable, aloof and resolute.
Seeing Bi Yuntao's performance, which was completely different from the rumors, he couldn't help but feel amazed. This also made him a little curious about Bi Yuntao's sudden change.
After the emperor finished praising his merits, the emperor and the ministers sat on the ground. The monks of Hanfeng Temple, led by the abbot, came to the altar and started chanting.
Bi Yuntao saw the monks who suddenly appeared and began to sit on the ground and chant loudly. For some reason, it felt like rural people were preparing to have a banquet with bowls and chopsticks.
This shocked Bi Yuntao. This offering of incense and blessing seemed to be different from what he thought. They have said that they should burn incense and pray for blessings. Shouldn't it be that the emperor led his ministers to burn incense and then devoutly pray in front of the Buddha for blessing? ! How did it become like this!
And looking at this posture, I'm afraid it won't be over in a while. Now he was somewhat envious of the third prince. He was sitting when others were standing; he was sitting when others were kneeling; and now he was still sitting comfortably in his wheelchair when others were sitting on the ground.
The only person present was Bi Yuntao, who could only stand alone in the cold wind.
Bi Yuntao's upright standing posture, which stood out like a flock of chickens, naturally could not escape the attention of those present, especially the families and children of the ministers behind him. Naturally, they could see clearly.
The one who was most shocked was Xue Ruyue. Bi Yuntao looked completely different now than when he started vomiting lotus flowers as soon as he saw her.
His tall and majestic figure attracted Xue Ruyue's attention. With Bi Yuntao's current state, if he told others that he was an uneducated and unskilled King of Qi, no one would believe it. And this back view also left an indelible mark on her heart.
Meng Ruoxi, who was looking at Bi Yuntao from a distance, had a proud smile on her lips, and her face was full of pride.
This is the man he identifies as, he is so different. The tall and tall figure looks like an arrogant emperor, standing proudly above the crowd.
Han Wuyong, who was next to Meng Ruoxi, naturally saw the smile on her face. Especially the unabashed pride and pride in her eyes, as well as some unspeakable emotions revealed in her eyes, made him feel even worse.
These emotions should obviously belong to him alone, all because of Bi Yuntao. If it weren't for him, Meng Ruoxi would be his woman now.
Han Wuyong has completely forgotten now that without Bi Yuntao, the third prince would not have used Meng Ruoxi as bait to frame Bi Yuntao and ruin the marriage between the second prince and Meng Ruoxi in order to eliminate a rival. Although the third prince did not expect that Bi Yuntao would take the beauty home in the end, the final result was still acceptable to him.
And if it hadn't been for Bi Yuntao, and with the second prince's ruthless character, Han Wuyong would never have had the chance to get close to Meng Ruoxi, let alone worry about him here.
Bi Yuntao didn't know what they were thinking. He listened to Buddhist scriptures to help him sleep and fell asleep with his eyes open unknowingly.
