Bao Zhu chose a set of bright red palace clothes. The material was luxurious and the embroidery on the clothes was all done by the famous embroiderers in the capital.
Fu Yuanxiao's skin is as white as snow, her cheeks are a little baby fat, she is pink and delicate, and she wears a bright red palace dress that matches her skin tone very well.
Baozhu chose a set of jewelry, and the hairpins were placed on the temples one by one.
The gold necklace inlaid with rubies matches well with the red palace attire.
When Xiao Ji came in, he saw Fu Yuanxiao dressed up, with petal-shaped flowers on her plump forehead, and her golden steps swayed as she stood up.
She doesn't look like a fool, but rather like a noble princess.
Fu Yuanxiao held her head full of pearls and gold hairpins and shook her head, pressing her neck, which made her feel a little uncomfortable.
"Husband, shall we enter the palace now?"
"Yes." Xiao Ji stretched out his hand in front of her and said warmly: "I am holding your hand to prevent you from stepping on the skirt and falling."
Fu Yuanxiao looked at the clean and dust-free hands in front of her. The knuckles were long and the roots were clear. She stretched out her hand to hold it. Her palms were so warm that she didn't even need a hand warmer.
The carriage was already waiting at the door. Xiao Ji led Fu Yuan out slowly and carefully helped her get into the carriage.
The carriage started moving slowly and headed towards the palace.
Before entering the palace, Xiao Ji told him: "When you enter the palace later, you will meet many people. Just stay close to me. Do you understand?"
Fu Yuanxiao nodded obediently, "I understand, husband."
Xiao Ji stared at Fu Yuanxiao for a while. At the family dinner later, cynicism was inevitable.
The carriage slowly entered the palace and stopped near Chengyang Palace. Several carriages with different decorations were parked beside it.
Xiao Ji got off the carriage first, and when he saw Fu Yuanxiao coming out, he stretched out his hand.
Fu Yuanxiao saw Xiao Ji extending his hand to help her get off the carriage like last time, with a nice smile at the corner of his mouth.
"Isn't this fourth brother?"
Xiao Ji looked back when he heard the sound and saw the third prince Xiao Min walking over with the princess.
Xiao Pian looked at Fu Yuanxiao next to Xiao Ji. He was so stunning the last time he was in the royal study room. When they met again, he was still so beautiful that people couldn't take their eyes away.
It's a pity that he is a fool. I heard that sometimes going crazy can be scary.
"Today is a family banquet. The fourth brother must keep a close eye on his younger siblings. It's not a trivial matter if he scares his father."
Xiao Ji lowered his eyes and glanced at Fu Yuanxiao, and said, "Third brother, please worry, Xiao'er is very good."
Xiao Min sneered in her heart, Xiao'er? The shouting was so intimate.
"I heard that the women in my fourth brother's house are all as beautiful as flowers. They are really blessed."
Fu Yuanxiao looked at Xiao Min and found that he was shrouded in a black shadow. The face of the shadow was vaguely visible. He had a shabby look on his face. He knew at a glance that he was an unlucky guy.
She kindly reminded: "Third brother, you are troubled by an unlucky man, it is better to go out less and talk less."
Xiao Min's expression changed when he heard this, and he said angrily: "What do you mean by this?"
Xiao Ji said with a faint smile: "Xiao'er is like a child, how can the third brother be as knowledgeable as a child?"
Xiao Min thought of Fu Yuanxiao being crazy and talking nonsense.
"Fourth brother, it's better to be careful, but not everyone is as generous as me."
Xiao Min snorted and walked in with his beloved concubine.
Xiao Ji then asked her: "Xiao'er, what did you see?"
Fu Yuanxiao said: "I saw that the evil spirit was entangled with him. Things have not been going well for him recently."
Xiao Ji raised his lips when he heard this. After what happened with Tian Xiao'e, he believed what Fu Yuanxiao said.
"Let's go in."
"Yeah." Fu Yuanxiao followed Xiao Ji and walked in.
Stepping into Chengyang Palace, I found that almost all the princes were here, talking in twos and threes.
Xiao Ji took Fu Yuanxiao and sat down on the seat.
The emperor glanced at the princes, passed by Fu Yuanxiao and paused for a while. They all said that Fu Yunting's daughter was stupid. If he didn't say it, who would be able to tell?
"Today is the New Year's Eve family banquet. Don't be restrained, eat and drink to your heart's content."
As soon as the emperor finished speaking, music sounded in the palace, and the sound reached his ears.
The dancers wore rose-red dance clothes and danced gracefully in the center of the hall.
Fu Yuanxiao was not interested in dancing. There were exquisite pastries and delicious delicacies in front of her.
She picked up a piece of pineapple cake with her chopsticks and put it into her mouth and took a bite. The outside was crispy and the inside was sweet but not greasy.
After a while, all three plates of pastries in front of him went into Fu Yuanxiao's stomach, mainly because the portion of one plate was too small.
After finishing the pastries, she started to eat vegetables, royal dishes. The portion on one plate was very small and could be finished in two or three bites.
As soon as I tasted it, it was gone.
Xiao Ji slowly ate the dishes in front of him, glanced at Fu Yuanxiao, and saw that she had not stopped opening her mouth after sitting down. In just a while, she had finished all the pastries and delicacies in front of her.
He picked up the untouched pastries and placed them in front of her, "Eat slowly."
Fu Yuanxiao saw the extra cakes in front of him, raised his eyes to look at Xiao Ji, and arched his eyebrows at him, "Thank you, husband."
Xiao Ji chuckled: "We are husband and wife, why should we be so polite."
"My husband is right." Fu Yuanxiao picked up the cake and put it into his mouth to eat.
Xiao Ji watched the way she was eating, which was very pleasing to the eye. He picked up the untouched delicacies and placed them in front of her.
Fu Yuanxiao saw him bringing all the pastries and dishes in front of her and swallowing the pastries in his mouth, then he said, "Don't you want to eat, husband?"
Xiao Ji said: "I am not hungry, please eat slowly."
Fu Yuanxiao grinned, "Yeah."
Xiao Min saw Xiao Ji's behavior, pampering a fool like a treasure. He chuckled, "That's all you have."
He smiled and said: "Fourth brother, today is New Year's Eve. Don't just focus on women and drink with your brothers."
When Xiao Ji heard this, he raised his head and looked over. Seeing Xiao Min holding a wine glass, he smiled and said, "The third brother is right."
He glanced at the princes present, and his eyes fell on Xiao Heng, "Third brother, you should respect the eldest brother first. How can you respect me first?"
Xiao Min and Xiao Heng never dealt with each other, but Xiao Ji reminded them that he could not refuse in front of everyone, so he had to walk over with the wine glass in hand.
"Brother, third brother respects you."
Xiao Heng glanced at the wine glass in front of him. His father and the others were watching. As the elder brother, his father always hoped that he could set an example.
He took the wine glass from Xiao Min's hand and drank it in one gulp.
Xiao Min also raised his glass and drank it down.
Xiao Heng finished his glass of wine and was about to sit down when he suddenly suffered from unbearable abdominal pain. He clutched his stomach, his face turned pale, and he looked at Xiao Min in disbelief.
"You poisoned me?"
After Xiao Heng finished speaking, he sat down from the chair and fell down.
Xiao Min watched Xiao Heng fall in front of her with wide eyes, and couldn't realize what was going on for a while.
"Heng'er." When the queen saw her son falling to the ground and vomiting black blood, she hurriedly got up from the phoenix chair and ran over.
The emperor was furious when he saw Long Yan, "King Xian, you are so brave!"
Xiao Min knelt on the ground in fright and explained: "Father, listen to Erchen's explanation. Erchen did not poison my elder brother."
