"Father, I would like to perform a dance in front of the emperor to promote the wine!"
The family dinner was filled with laughter when suddenly a loud voice of self-recommendation attracted everyone's attention.
Concubine An and Concubine Xie had just toasted Emperor Jinghe with a glass of wine. The warm wine fell down her stomach, and the smell of alcohol was on her face. When her eyes were blurred, she suddenly heard her son's loud voice, and she suddenly became excited, which shocked her so much that she was drunk. It evaporates and dissipates, leaving the whole person extremely awake.
She raised her head sharply and looked at her excited son with unspeakable expression. She felt that her ears were filled with buzzing noises, and her normally alert mind was now dull and confused.
"Huh?" Emperor Jinghe caught a glimpse of Concubine An's expression from the corner of his eye and understood immediately.
Very good, it was this stupid son who took matters into his own hands again.
"It's hard for me, Third Brother, that you are so interested!" Emperor Jing He nodded obediently and smiled at the children with various expressions under his eyes, "I'm looking forward to it."
As soon as he finished speaking, the atmosphere on the field suddenly returned to its previous liveliness.
Soon, drums blared, silk and bamboo strings sounded, and Jiang Yuming came running with a dozen dancers holding tambourines.
The heroic dance style, the delicate fragrance mist, the sweet wine aroma, and the music that is sometimes fast or slow, sometimes strong and sometimes weak, sometimes fierce and sometimes gentle, are wonderfully blended together to achieve a pleasing harmony.
"The third child danced well." The queen's cold voice sounded.
Emperor Jinghe sneered: "It's a good thing the Queen taught him about ancient times, right?"
Queen Lu turned her head with a half-smile, looked at Emperor Jing He's profile seriously, and said softly: "Yes... after all, I want to give the emperor a surprise!"
"Huh?" Emperor Jinghe looked sideways in confusion.
I saw Queen Lu pointing to the stage with a smile, and the smile in her eyes was a little crazy: "Look, it's coming!"
"Bang!"
Before Jing Hedi could react, the dancers behind Jiang Yuming all threw the smoking tambourines into the nearby wine vats used as props.
When the surrounding servants and guards saw this, before they could shout "Protect the Emperor", the wine vat exploded instantly, knocking over the incense burner in the outer circle. In an instant, thick smoke filled the air, and soon it covered everyone's figure.
When the thick fog dissipated, there was no one sitting at the banquet. From the ninety-five nobles to the palace guards, everyone fell to the ground.
"Cough! Cough!" Queen Lu endured the choking feeling in her chest and staggered to her feet.
"You! You!" Jing Hedi, who was on the side, moved his fingers tremblingly, but he was unable to express the anger that came to his lips.
"Ha, ha!" Queen Lu shook her body, looked around, and after a moment, she began to laugh in a low voice.
Her laughter gradually grew louder until it was almost crazy.
"Hahaha! Hahaha!" Tears rolled down like broken beads.
Her laughter reached everyone's ears, but it was like a demonic voice filling their ears, making everyone feel as if they had fallen into an ice cave.
After hearing the end, Concubine An seemed to have given up all her strength and closed her eyes in resignation.
Jiang Yuming, however, seemed to be stunned, staring ahead with wide eyes in disbelief.
"Jiang Huaiqian, you won't live long!" Empress Lu held her chest, swayed her body and looked at Emperor Jing He, who was glaring at her, and smiled very happily, "Don't worry, I won't live long either! I will send it to you personally. You, your beloved concubine, your siblings, and your descendants, go underground to make amends to the more than 500 members of my Lu family!"
As she spoke, she took out a palm-sized porcelain bottle from her sleeve pocket, raised it and shook it at Jing Hedi, who was glaring at her angrily.
The slender white fingers suddenly let go, and the porcelain bottle instantly fell in front of Emperor Jinghe.
Snap!
The light green potion scattered all over the floor with the bounce of fine pieces of porcelain.
Emperor Jinghe felt his head cool, and soon he was able to speak.
"You vicious woman!"
Empress Lu laughed out loud when she saw Emperor Jing He's cannibalistic expression, shook her head, supported the pillar and walked to Zheng An who was lying on her back, struggled to pick up the one-foot-high wine barrel, and poured it around the table.
She laughed while yelling: "Scold! I'll give you time to fully scold! Guess why there is no movement outside?! Hahaha! Jiang Huaiqian, you can't get up. If you have the strength to struggle, why don't you continue to scold? Bar!
But don't say such ridiculous things as 'If I had known this, I would have dealt with me earlier'.
Is it because you don’t want to abolish the concubine and abolish the queen? No, no, no, it’s just the late emperor who didn’t allow it! You father and son are worthy of being biological, and the disgusting hypocrisy comes from the same generation! "
Queen Lu spilled her wine near Concubine An and smiled at her: "You are indeed the female Zhuge who helped King Hui make a future. If I haven't taken any action, you should be more careful! But it's really difficult to deal with! If you hadn't raised her well, Son, I am afraid that my plan is empty and will not succeed!"
She smiled proudly, but Concubine An didn't respond as if she didn't know what was going on.
"I know you didn't faint, are you still awake? An, when I was still in the dormitory, I had a good relationship with you, but it's a pity..."
"The winner is the king and the loser is the bandit. No need to say more." Concubine An closed her eyes and spoke calmly.
"..." Queen Lu looked at her intently for a while, then nodded with a smile, "Okay."
She emptied one of the wine barrels, picked up the other one near the table, and walked around the seats, admiring the expressions of fear, confusion, or anger on the faces of the royal family members. The more she looked at them, the happier she became: "Lu Family members know how to repay their kindness, and I, Lu Guangfei, do the same! The late Emperor first killed my branch of the Lu family and then kept me alive for more than twenty years!
I reciprocated the favor and sent his children and grandchildren to meet him, but I also left incense for him to inherit the throne. "
Speaking of this, she let the various shouts come from her ears and spilled the last barrel of wine around Emperor Jinghe again.
"You don't have to look at me like this, how could I let your children and grandchildren live?" Empress Lu raised the torch on the wall, squatted beside Emperor Jinghe, and looked at him with a smile, "You are Don't you think I want to burn you? Don't worry, I am very soft-hearted. With the fragrance of wine, Lu's secret medicine will evaporate faster, and everyone, including me, will fall asleep silently, and then, dust to dust, Earth returns to earth.”
"You're crazy!" Emperor Jing He didn't know when to calm down. He looked at Queen Lu and pointed out her state calmly.
"That's right, you're right! I'm crazy. I went crazy as early as when you had ulterior motives to deceive my feelings, use my Lu family, and push my Lu family into the abyss!" Queen Lu's eyes were fixed on Jing He. The emperor's eyes moved across his face inch by inch, and he suddenly laughed, "You don't think that the evil beast born by Xie can enter the gate of Kyoto alive, do you?
You don’t think that the one in Sheng’s belly is Lang Jun, do you? My former wet nurse had an incomplete inheritance of royal medicine in her family, and her other abilities may not be very high, but she still had the ability to tell the male and female pregnant at a glance.
Jiang Huaiqian, I am afraid that your throne of Chu will be passed on to Queen Jing! "
Queen Lu deliberately spoke loudly, so as soon as she said this, King Jing, who had closed his eyes to escape the ending, suddenly opened his eyes.
He had no heirs after entering Beijing, so...
Emotions of surprise, joy, and fear filled him instantly.
"The Lu family is to blame for the fall of the family." Emperor Jinghe didn't want to see Empress Lu being proud anymore. He used his words as a spear to hit her pain point very accurately, "I was foresighted in treating you hypocritically! Lu! I deserve to be with you until today! What happened to me is also the retribution for marrying you!"
"You're talking nonsense! Your current situation is clearly retribution for murdering your own brother!" Queen Lu's face changed as expected, and her anger was very sharp, "For the sake of the throne, you even plotted to frame your brother! You are the one who deserves it. retribution!"
"As the Crown Prince and Tutor, Lu Guangshan ignored the Crown Prince's bullying of his mother and younger brother, allowed him to foolishly consider himself a thief and became his mother, and encouraged him to spoil his concubine and kill his wife. In order to flatter the Crown Prince, he even took the initiative to draw up a proposal to abolish the Crown Princess! The Crown Princess has no control However, for the sake of his future as a king, he disregarded his conscience and helped others to commit evil! How can he be unjustly accused!"
"What a strong argument! Did my eldest brother want to be the prince's teacher? The prince's tutor is a false position. It was your father who asked him to teach the prince to read! He was pushed to the prince's squad by your father! You and your son The game made things difficult for the ministers! In the end, Mr. Lu took the blame and took the blame!"
Queen Lu blushed angrily and shouted angrily: "The royal family is ruthless, and accompanying the emperor is like accompanying a tiger! I, the Lu family, have enjoyed high-ranking officials and generous salaries, suffered disasters, been demoted and punished, and accepted it! But you should not chase them all away and kill them again." Absolutely! The Chen family has returned to Beijing intact, but I, the Lu family, only have two or three orphans left! If not for being targeted, why would we be in this situation?!"
"Lu Guangshan has acted very domineeringly since he entered the cabinet!" Emperor Jinghe's eyes were calm, and the corner of his mouth raised a sarcastic arc, "After becoming the second assistant, it happened that the old fox Chen Fengsheng, the first assistant, wanted to retreat. So you allowed your eldest brother to sideline him. From then on, he was called the second assistant, but actually the first assistant. For a while, there was no more noise in the cabinet! Do you think anyone in the courtiers hated him?"
Emperor Jinghe paused, looked at Queen Lu's face that was gradually turning pale, and sneered: "What kind of good person do you think your eldest brother is? Isn't it possible that the wealth that Lu Guangfei enjoyed in his boudoir was not earned by him annexing land and accepting bribes? !
Since he ordered his people to put their feet on Qian Shou, don't blame others for adding insult to injury to eliminate hidden dangers! "
"Nonsense! You're talking nonsense!" Empress Lu couldn't stand the insult to her brother's reputation, so she threw the torch at the incense burner.
The moment the thick smoke swept over again, Queen Lu burst into laughter: "Hahaha! Hahaha! Let's all go! Right and wrong will be revealed soon!"
…
When Queen Lu was talking to Emperor Jinghe, King Cheng, who was far away from them, looked helplessly at the sky.
His princess was lying not far from him at the moment.
Unlike the relatives around him who were wailing and moaning in low voices, he kept muttering to himself: "This king is finished! Who did this king provoke? How did he become a fish in the pond?
I haven’t had enough fun yet! Why are you going to see your father? When I go down to see the old man, I won’t be able to take my leisure time anymore! "
He muttered for a long time and finally moved to the princess.
"princess."
The noise in her ears suddenly disappeared, and then became affectionate again. This change made Princess Cheng open her eyes.
What caught his eye was those extremely familiar peach blossom eyes.
But these eyes, which were always filled with a perverse smile, were now filled with deep affection.
"I'm sorry." King Cheng tried his best to smile, "I have been ridiculous for most of my life, but I didn't want it to be even more ridiculous."
He loosened his grip on the princess's hand and tried his best to reach up to his neck. He still whispered intermittently: "Thank you for being with this ridiculous prince like me... I always wanted to make it up to you. The notice for sending concubines to Beijing has been written, and the dowry and retirement home for them have also been prepared, what a pity!"
Princess Cheng's eyes felt a little hot: "What started as chaos will eventually lead to acceptance. If you let them go, let them go. How can they live?"
King Cheng smiled, finally touched the string around his neck, and gently pulled off the jade bottle that was half the size of his ring finger: "The princess is right! So, I am the one who left!"
"You..." Princess Cheng was about to speak when she saw King Cheng pour out two pills the size of soybeans, one was slightly lighter in color and the other was slightly darker in color.
"When my father was here, he loved me very much. He prepared this medicine for me when I was a feudal lord. It's just a portion. The dark one can detoxify hundreds of poisons; the light one can stimulate vitality and restore strength. "
As King Cheng spoke, while Princess Cheng was focusing on the pills, he unexpectedly stuffed the dark one into her mouth.
"Hmm!" Without waiting for her to react, he swallowed the light-colored one.
"You!" The princess who suddenly swallowed the pill and was choked in a daze said a word. Queen Lu had already thrown a torch, and the sudden burst of smoke quickly surrounded her.
In just a moment, the people around him could no longer see clearly.
Princess Cheng felt her body light up and realized that she was being hugged by King Cheng. She was extremely surprised.
"Princess, remember to use the momentum to roll!" The hot voice in her ears sounded a little hasty, and before she could react, she felt like she was being thrown out by King Cheng with all his strength.
"Jiang Huaixin!"
The moment she soared into the air, Princess Cheng moved reflexively. Although less than one-tenth of the strength that had been taken away was returned, such a small amount of strength was enough to reduce the damage when she landed.
Even so, the impact of landing still knocked her to pieces and spun her around.
After finally recovering, I looked up and saw that the previous banquet was already surrounded by fierce flames!
"Jiang Huaixin!"
…
The heartbreaking shouts faintly reached King Cheng's ears. He had already lost strength and fell to the ground. When he heard the call, he grinned with satisfaction: "When I see the old man, I will definitely give you an explanation!" Pills to restore strength are so useless, they deflate eggplants in just one breath, they are really fooling people!"
…
"Quick! Put out the fire!" The inner guards and forbidden troops from the outer garden finally rushed over.
Princess Cheng was so angry that she fainted and was soon discovered.
"King Hui, King Hui, the Queen Mother is still in Kyoto, why don't you come to her rescue quickly! Only by making amends can we save our family!" Princess Cheng felt the same desperate atmosphere, raised her head and shouted angrily.
Her angry scolding was like a bell, and it immediately awakened many people's bad thoughts.
Princess Cheng took a deep breath and stared closely at the gradually extinguishing fire ring. She grasped the blue bricks with her hands and fingers, and her already bitten lips were stretched with dryness, while her tear-filled eyes stubbornly refused to let the tears go.
She can't fall! She wants to live!
She wants to... return to Beijing with the prince!
