The emperor stared at the talisman in his hand for a long time, then raised his eyelids and glanced at Fu Yuanxiao. He was just a fool. He spoke carelessly and naturally had no intention.
Not as good as a few years old child.
The emperor handed the things to Eunuch Li.
Eunuch Li had followed the emperor for many years, so he naturally understood what he meant, took it and put it away.
The emperor looked at Fu Yuanxiao again, "Sit down."
Only then did Fu Yuanxiao and Xiao Ji return to their seats and sit down.
Now, it's Xiao Che's turn to give a gift.
While everyone's attention was on Xiao Che's birthday gift, Fu Yuanxiao leaned into Xiao Ji's ear and said, "Father didn't carry the talisman close to his body, so he couldn't stop the bloody disaster."
Xiao Ji raised her eyes and glanced at the emperor. It was Eunuch Li who kept the talisman. It was nothing but disgust.
If it was a gift from Xiao Che or another prince, even if my father didn't believe it, he would still accept it.
He withdrew his gaze and looked at Fu Yuanxiao, "I will find a way."
When Fu Yuanxiao heard this, he ignored it and continued to eat the exquisite pastries in front of him.
Xiao Ji raised his head and glanced at the concubine's seat, but did not see his mother and concubine. He had not seen her figure since he came in. Could it be that she did not come to participate?
He looked at his father on the dragon throne and saw him talking and laughing with the queen. He didn't care whether his mother or concubine came.
When Xiao Ji looked back, she saw Fu Yuanxiao. She was eating a piece of mung bean cake in small bites, just like a child eating.
He found that the pastry in front of Fu Yuanxiao was almost finished. He looked at the pastry in front of him without moving at all. He picked up the pastry and placed it in front of her.
Fu Yuanxiao saw the extra pastry in front of him, raised his head, and saw Xiao Ji picking up the pastry in front of him and placing it in front of her.
Xiao Ji looked at her and said warmly, "I have never liked these sweets."
Fu Yuanxiao smiled when he heard this, "Then I'll eat them all?"
Xiao Ji saw the smile in her eyes, like the stars in the night sky, making people unable to look away.
"Um."
Fu Yuanxiao was not polite, picked up the cake Xiao Ji handed over and put it into his mouth to eat.
Xiao Ji watched her eating intently.
When Fu Yinshuang and Xiao Che returned to their seats after delivering birthday gifts, they happened to see this scene. She thought she was dazzled, so she took a few more glances to make sure she saw it correctly.
Xiao Ji was indeed staring at Xiao Xiao, such a focused look would never appear on Xiao Ji.
But he was indeed staring at Xiaoxiao.
Fu Yinshuang couldn't help being excited and took a few more glances.
Before, she only learned about Xiao Ji's attitude towards her from Xiao Xiao's mouth.
This was the first time she saw Xiao Ji's attitude towards Xiao Xiao with her own eyes, which was really different from others.
It seems that Xiao Ji really likes Xiao Xiao, otherwise why would she look at him with such eyes?
After the birthday banquet, Xiao Ji walked out with Fu Yuanxiao, leaned over and whispered in her ear: "You and your sister should go first, I have something else to do."
Fu Yuanxiao wanted to ask Xiao Ji what was wrong, but he didn't ask when the words came to his lips. He just nodded obediently, "Yes."
Xiao Ji turned around and left after watching Fu Yuanxiao walk up to Fu Yinshuang.
The emperor and the empress walked side by side on the bluestone slab. Under the palace lantern, they could only barely see their facial features.
A paper man was holding a purse and was trying hard to climb up to the emperor in the dark.
He used both his hands and feet, and with all his strength, he climbed into the emperor's sleeves.
After putting the purse away, the paper man stuck out his head and looked around. When no one was paying attention, he fell to the ground like a fallen leaf without anyone noticing.
It wasn't until everyone left that Paper Man got up, shook himself, shook off the dust on his body, and then ran neatly to the corridor.
When the emperor and the empress walked into the imperial garden, a palace maid ran towards them. She knelt down in front of the emperor and said, "Your Majesty, something happened."
The emperor shouted loudly: "What happened?"
As soon as she finished speaking, the palace maid who was kneeling on the ground suddenly stood up and rushed towards her. Under the cold moonlight,
A dagger glowed with cold light.
The emperor's face turned pale, he couldn't hide from such a close distance.
"Your Majesty, be careful..."
At this critical moment, the palace maid seemed to be blocked by something and fell backwards uncontrollably.
At this time, the royal guards surrounded the palace ladies.
The emperor secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He took a step forward and the purse fell out of his sleeve. He paused and glanced down. He felt it looked familiar. He bent down to pick it up, then took the palace lantern and looked clearly at what was in his hand. , it was the purse given to him by Fu Yuanxiao, which contained the talisman.
He was startled. This purse was not with Eunuch Li, so how could it be with him?
The emperor hesitated for a while, then opened his purse and took out the amulet inside with his slender fingers. Under the weak light, he found a crack in the middle of the amulet.
The emperor was astonished that the amulet he had received, which was intact, suddenly broke.
She suddenly thought of what Fu Yuanxiao said, saying that he would suffer a bloody disaster tonight and this amulet could ward off the disaster.
Thinking back to the palace maid just now, holding a dagger in her hand, she almost stabbed him in the heart, but it seemed to be blocked by something.
Could it be that the amulet worked?
The emperor's eyes were full of doubts.
Seeing that Fu Yuanxiao was alone, Fu Yinshuang's eyes were full of doubts. She held Xiaoxiao's hand and asked, "Xiaoxiao, where is Prince Yu?"
Fu Yuanxiao said, "He still has something to deal with, so let me go back first."
Fu Yinshuang became even more confused after hearing this. The prince couldn't just stay in the palace. What else could Xiao Ji have to deal with?
She looked at Xiao Che, "My lord, do you know what Prince Yu married?"
Xiao Che thought for a while, feeling a little unsure, "Maybe he went to visit Concubine Concubine."
Fu Yinshuang frowned when she heard this. Xiao Ji went to visit Concubine Yu. It would not be inconvenient to take Xiao Xiao with him.
Soon, Fu Yinshuang found that she was aggrieved on behalf of Xiaoxiao, but it was just a trivial matter.
When Fu Yuanxiao heard what Xiao Che said, she also thought that Xiao Ji had gone to visit Concubine Concubine, because she hadn't heard Xiao Ji mention going to visit Concubine Concubine for a long time.
Why didn't you take Concubine with you when you went to visit her?
Xiao Ji was walking on the way to Yuxiu Palace when he suddenly saw a piece of paper figurine falling on his chest. Even without looking, he knew it was the one given to him by Fu Yuanxiao.
Ever since he learned about the existence of paper figures, Xiao Ji would ask Fu Yuanxiao to give him a paper figure every once in a while.
Because the paper figurine has an expiration date, it becomes useless paper in half a month.
This paper man was given to him by Fu Yuanxiao ten days ago. He has always carried it with him and it came in handy today.
Xiao Ji put the paper man into his sleeves and continued to enter Yuxiu Palace.
After entering, she was stopped by Xiang Yin, "King Yu, Concubine Concubine is not feeling well and will not see guests."
When Xiao Ji heard the word "Ke", he was startled for a while and looked up at the Yuxiu Palace in front of him. The lights were still on inside, indicating that his mother-in-law had not rested yet.
He withdrew his gaze and looked at Xiang Yin, "Go and tell my mother and concubine that I will show off to the palace in just a few words.
After entering, she was stopped by Xiang Yin, "King Yu, Concubine Concubine is not feeling well and will not see guests."
When Xiao Ji heard the word "Ke", he was startled for a while and looked up at the Yuxiu Palace in front of him. The lights were still on inside, indicating that his mother-in-law had not rested yet.
He withdrew his gaze and looked at Xiang Yin, "Go and tell my mother and concubine, I will leave after just saying a few words." Leave. "
