"Tea instead of wine, I respect the prince." Wen Jin picked up the tea cup at hand.
"That won't work!" Xiao Yuchen changed the wine glass for her and filled more than half of the glass. The wine glass was not big, and it looked particularly mellow under the candlelight and moonlight.
"There is no sincerity in tea. I won't drink it for you, just this cup."
Xiao Yuchen handed the wine glass to her.
Wen Jin looked at him indifferently and said, "Your Majesty, I don't drink."
Xiao Yuchen frowned and was silent for a moment, "Just one cup!"
Wen Jin curled up the corners of his mouth, turned away, picked up the chopsticks to eat the vegetables.
The wine Xiao Yuchen held next to her was completely ignored by her.
The banquet suddenly became quiet, and everyone couldn't help but look here. Even a blind man could feel that something was wrong with the atmosphere.
"Ban Xia, take Yu'er back to rest." Wen Jin dismissed Wen Yu.
"Aunt..."
"It's getting late, you go to bed first."
Wen Yu looked at her, then at Xiao Yuchen, and finally nodded silently.
After Wen Yu left, Wen Jin's aura was completely different.
Just now she was gentle and gentle, like a spring breeze.
At this moment, her aura was as cold as a big iceberg.
"Is the prince drunk? Do you need someone to make sobering soup?" Wen Jin looked at Xiao Yuchen coldly.
Xiao Yuchen shook his head subconsciously, "No need! If you don't want to drink, I will drink for you."
He raised his head and poured the wine into his mouth, "Dry it!"
He flashed the bottom of his glass and chuckled, "I'm too drunk..."
He got up and left the table.
The atmosphere at the banquet was restored a little.
Sheng Tianyue came close to Wen Jin and asked quietly: "It's just a glass of wine, why doesn't sister even give him this face?"
"I don't want to drink." Wen Jin's voice was gentle, but his eyes were firm, "If others find out that he can use this method to force you to bow your head for the first time, he will try it a second time.
“Why compromise when you have the ability to choose according to your own preferences?”
Sheng Tianyue was stunned and slowly raised her thumb, "Awesome, sister!"
Wen Jin lowered his eyes, there was nothing cool about this, it was just a principle of life.
Wen Shengjun came with the little bodyguard Wen Jin bought for him. He had a few drinks with Sheng Tianyue without being greedy.
Mr. Sheng has to go on a journey tomorrow, so he doesn't want to drink too much.
The banquet ended early.
Wen Jin returned to the main courtyard and was about to go to bed when he glanced at the small bowl placed on the windowsill.
The bowl contained spiritual spring water, soaked in the thousand-year-old purple lotus seeds given to her by Mr. Sheng and Sheng Tianyue.
Since this thing has been given to her, it is better to keep it in the Lingquan space.
Wen Jin fished out the lotus seeds and used his consciousness to summon the space of the spiritual spring. Without planting any seeds, he just placed the seeds beside the spiritual spring in the shallow water.
After doing this, Wen Jin went to sleep.
She had no idea how much of a sensation this small gesture caused.
…
Early the next morning, before the court meeting.
The people in Si Tianjian looked wrong and gathered together, muttering.
As soon as the ministers approached, they became silent at the same time.
"What did you say?" a minister asked.
The man from Si Tianjian shook his head mysteriously, "The secret must not be leaked."
The curious minister curled his lips and said, "Showing off!"
It’s really not that they want to show off…it’s that the matter is related to the fundamentals of the country, and they dare not speak nonsense.
During the court meeting, the people in Si Tianjian looked constipated, wishing that the emperor would leave the court immediately so that they could keep secret.
Finally, after leaving the court, they trotted to the imperial study room.
"What kind of secret message? Are you people who watch the sky so anxious?" the emperor asked curiously.
"I report to Your Majesty that last night when I was observing the sky, I discovered that a purple light appeared in the middle of the night!
"The purple light was extraordinarily gorgeous and beautiful! Under the moonlight, it was so graceful that it lasted for two hours!" Si Tianjian's voice was excited.
The emperor was stunned when he heard the words, and then laughed, "Purple air is good! Purple air is auspicious air! Purple air is virtuous, its shape is impermanent, and it always comes from a country with righteousness!"
The Emperor's Dragon Heart is overjoyed!
A vision from the sky is an auspicious sign! This is because God also thinks that he is a moral and virtuous king! What a great thing!
He didn't understand what the sad faces of Si Tianjian's group of people meant.
"It is said in ancient books that when the king's virtue reaches the sky, purple energy can be seen." Si Tianjian's humanity said, "Purple energy is a sign of emperors and sages."
The emperor nodded and straightened his chest. The celestial phenomena said that he was a wise king!
"But the purple energy appeared in the sky above Prince Huai's Mansion last night!"
After Si Tianjian finished speaking, the imperial study room fell into complete silence.
King Huai is not a king, nor is he a prince. How can purple energy appear in the sky above his mansion?
How much did the emperor's expression change? Over the sky over Prince Huai's Mansion?
"Quickly convey that Master Huiji has entered the palace!"
…
At this time, everyone in the East Palace gathered in the Prince's Palace, looking tense and silent.
"A vision descended from the sky, and purple energy came out of Prince Huai's Mansion..."
The prince murmured, every word he said was like a knife, cutting out the flesh of his heart one by one.
"Will my father depose Gu and make his eighth brother the crown prince?" He raised his head and asked the staff.
"Definitely not!"
"Since ancient times, the eldest son has been established as the direct descendant. If the eldest son is abolished and the younger son is established, it will inevitably cause turmoil."
"The crown prince is the foundation of the country. How can he be abolished at the drop of a hat or established at the drop of a hat?"
The words of the counselors sounded more like comfort to the prince.
He was very panicked, and when he thought about his father's protection of Lao Ba, he felt short of breath and tight in his chest.
Now, it is said that Zi Qi comes from Prince Huai's Mansion! Is this okay?
His father was already partial, so now he was given the opportunity to make his youngest son the crown prince instead?
"No!" The prince slapped the table angrily, "It's better to strike first..."
"Your Highness, there is no need to worry."
A counselor advised in a slow voice, "Although you have purple energy, your highness did not make any mistakes. The emperor abolished the crown prince, and his reputation is not justified.
"Secondly, King Huai is useless. He already has a bad reputation. Just a few days ago, there was a scandal, and even the military power of the Jinwu Guards was taken away. It is even more ridiculous to make him the heir apparent."
It was this counselor's words that reached the heart of the prince.
The prince's breathing immediately became easier, "Mr. Chu, if you have any other suggestions, please continue."
"Purple energy seems to be a good thing, but in fact it is too aggressive, which has both advantages and disadvantages."
Mr. Chu said, "If you can use it well, it will be a sharp blade for Your Highness to get rid of King Huai."
When the prince heard this, he immediately became energetic.
His eyes were burning, "I would like to hear the details."
"Your Highness can order several ministers who seem to be neutral to report to the emperor that someone in Prince Huai's palace is using witchcraft to fake purple energy to confuse the public.
"This is more proof that His Royal Highness King Huai has a disloyal heart! If he can be convicted of this crime, King Huai will not only seize the throne, but he will not be able to save his life!"
The prince's heartbeat quickened and the blood all over his body boiled.
"A clever plan...but it's quite difficult. What if Si Tianjian's group kills them and it's a miracle coming from heaven?" the prince asked.
"The truth is also false when it is false. The art of war is all about fiction and reality, truth and falsehood. Will the emperor definitely believe what the people in Si Tianjian say?" Mr. Chu said.
The prince's face lit up, "That's right! As long as my father has doubts, it doesn't matter whether Xiao Yuchen is real or not!"
"I'll leave this matter to Mr. Chu! We must make sure that Xiao Yuchen is no longer able to stand up!" The prince's eyes sparkled.
"Yes! I will definitely live up to my mission!" Mr. Chu clasped his fists.
After Mr. Chu left, the prince recruited his cronies again.
"Send someone to Prince Huai's Mansion to find out why there is purple energy? What strange thing happened in Prince Huai's Mansion last night?
"If we can find any clue! Xiao Yuchen will be dead this time!"
