The loyal minister was forced to marry the traitor

The palace banquet is held at Qique Terrace.

The position assigned to Bai Yan by the chief officer was very ingenious, it was neither next to the colleagues in the Inspectorate, nor in any corner, but rather conspicuously under several relatives of the emperor.

He felt a toothache when he saw that position, and the position of last year's palace banquet was not so awkward, this time it seemed as if he was going to be roasted on the fire.

No matter what other people looked at, he found a seat beside the pillar and sat down.

Opposite was Mr. Ba, the two exchanged a look that they didn't quite understand, and Bai Yan turned his eyes away.

Master Ba: "..."

"Master Bai, you are sitting in the wrong seat!" Before Bai Yan sat up, a person passed by in front of him. The person stood in front of him, and his gaze was so revealing that everyone around him looked at him.

Bai Yan looked indifferent, and slowly got up to salute, "Your Highness."

The person who came was none other than the Fourth Prince Wei Chengfeng.

The distance between him and Bai Yan is only a table, and other people don't think it looks right. Sure enough, the next moment he heard him pretending to be ambiguous, "Xing Zhang is not sitting in his seat, but he is here... Could it be that he is not Would you like to sit with me?"

After he finished speaking, everyone realized later that the seat next to Bai Yan's original seat was the seat of the Fourth Prince Wei Chengfeng.

In fact, although courtiers and relatives of the emperor are gathered for the palace banquet, it is not too rigid in reality. The positions of chief managers are generally ranked according to their ranks, but it is not uncommon for ministers to change their seats in many cases. As long as it is not too outrageous Everyone will not care.

But the fourth prince Wei Chengfeng obviously pointed it out on purpose, and it was a little difficult for Bai Yan to do it when everyone in court watched.

His original intention of changing the seat was that he was unwilling to sit there, but if he didn't go there, he would be confirming what the Fourth Prince said, and to put it bluntly, it would be considered a crime of disrespect.

A group of people made it clear to watch the excitement.

But the next moment, Bai Yan said calmly, "Your Highness is unparalleled, and I feel ashamed of myself as an official. I'm afraid drinking too much wine will disturb your purity."

Everyone: "..." I didn't expect that under the watchful eyes of everyone, the deputy governor and censor could say such hypocritical words so beautifully and refinedly, the fakes can't be faked anymore!

Wei Chengfeng didn't expect him to say that, he was startled for a while, and then he smiled a little, "Xing Zhang is indeed worthy of the position of imperial censor."

He used the word "Xingzhang" to call him. Bai Yan didn't feel honored, but was full of impatience, "The lower officials have no other advantages except for their sharp tongue.

Still with an indifferent face, it seemed that there was no hindrance in speaking these words, Wei Chengfeng's smile stayed on his lips, and he didn't know how to answer the words for a moment.

It was an embarrassing moment, and another person came in at the door. He was tall and tall, and his eyebrows could not be concealed.

"The teeth are sharp and the mouth is sharp, and the sharp teeth are pulled out. The Fourth Highness has been away for several years, have you forgotten the previous methods?!" Xiao Jiuqin looked at Bai Yan's eyes coldly, and turned away in disgust after a slight pause.

Bai Yan was neither humble nor overbearing, and he didn't get angry when he heard it. He opened his mouth slowly, "In life, one has to be temperamental. If you are humble and let others drive you, how is it different from a domestic dog?"

"Dogs can still be loyal to their masters, but people are not necessarily..." Xiao Jiuqin's words were poisoned, "Especially, some things that repay kindness with grievances, if they knew that they were ruthless, it would be better to kill them all!"

"Hou Ye's words are reasonable," Bai Yan said with a normal expression, "but don't forget, 'I knew this before, so why bother', I didn't kill him before, and it won't be easy when it grows..."

Xiao Jiuqin didn't retort immediately, he approached step by step, and even the fourth prince Wei Chengfeng was pushed aside, he was only a foot away from Bai Yan, and he could smell his breath, "Let him live for a few years, just treat him as a heart." Dog, and... even if the situation is strong now, what am I, Xiao Jiuqin, afraid of?!"

What he said was deafening, and the hall was silent for a moment.

In a blink of an eye, they all came back to their senses and looked at Bai Yan's face.

The old story of Marquis Pingjin still exists yesterday, and more than half of the courtiers in the palace know it clearly. Two days ago, they heard that Bai Yan was splashed with sewage in the most prosperous place in Yingdu. Fortunately, he happened to meet Marquis Pingjin .

Rumors spread again and again, saying everything, Mr. Bai was in a mess, and Marquis Pingjin sneered.

Or the enemy is extremely jealous when they meet, Mr. Bai is humiliated, and Marquis Pingjin is slightly better.

At the end of the story, it was even rumored that the Marquis of Pingjin was extremely angry and turned him over with a stone. If he hadn't been concerned that he was an important minister in the court, next year would probably be the anniversary of Master Bai's death.

In addition, Bai Yan took three days off later, so it was hard not to let everyone think too much.

Now, when the two met again, it was still under the watchful eyes of everyone. The back and forth, the words were fierce, as if they were about to draw their swords at each other in the next moment.

"Master Hou is not afraid of anything." Bai Yan was always there, as if every word of Xiao Jiuqin couldn't cause any waves in him, "The future will be long, it's better to wait and see."

Tsk tsk tsk, even at this point, you dare to speak harshly.

On the opposite side, Mr. Ba looked interested, he propped his chin and forgot the wine cup in his hand.

Sparks flew between Bai Yan and Xiao Jiuqin, and the fourth prince Wei Chengfeng's face was ugly. He originally wanted to win over Bai Yan, but he didn't expect to kill Xiao Jiuqin, Marquis of Pingjin on the way.

Or someone he can't offend for the time being.

It was originally a disturbance of changing seats, but Xiao Jiuqin's appearance completely disrupted it. In the end, Wei Chengfeng walked to his seat, Bai Yan sat down naturally, and Xiao Jiuqin... motioned the minister beside Bai Yan to go away, and sat down by himself. Down.

A desk table was no more than ten feet long, and Bai Yan's sleeves were wide, and when he moved, the sleeve ends swept across Xiao Jiuqin's knees, and he could bear it once or twice, but he repeatedly attracted Xiao Jiuqin's attention.

If it had been just now, he would have thrown Bai Yan out, but right now the emperor was seated, and the hall was singing and dancing, he looked and looked, it was indeed not a good time to make some noise.

Master Xiao Hou's face turned dark little by little, Bai Yan seemed to know nothing about it.

"Bai, Da, Ren..." once again disturbed Xiao Jiuqin's innocence, he gritted his teeth, and grabbed Bai Yan's wrist. Fortunately, there was a table blocking it, but no one noticed.

But Bai Yan frowned slightly, "Master Hou, what are you doing?"

He was natural, Xiao Jiuqin gritted his teeth, "I should be the one asking you, since just now you poured the wine back and forth, and you didn't drink it yourself, why did you toss it over and over again?!"

It doesn't matter if it's just tossing around, but this guy's sleeve tail is like a fox's tail, brushing his knees one after another, like a feather scratching, making him very difficult to bear.

"I torment myself, Master Hou just drinks your wine, why do you want to control what I do!" Bai Yan raised his eyebrows, "Could it be that you deliberately lied to me? That's right, Master Hou came back after five years. It’s because there’s no one to talk to you... It’s normal to be lonely!”

He talked to himself, as if he didn't know that Xiao Jiuqin's face had turned black.

"When it comes to relieving boredom, Xiaguan has some experience. The Huale Square in the east of the city, the Songyin Square in the south of the city, and the Lvxiu Pavilion near Huiyue Tower. All the girls in it are stunning. If Lord Hou is lonely, why don't you go in and order it?" A girl chatting..."

"Qinqi, calligraphy, painting, melody, singing and dancing, all of them are the bliss of the world..."

Just as he was speaking, Xiao Jiuqin suddenly clasped his wrist and stood up. People around were startled, and even the emperor above heard the sound and looked over.

"You two lovers, this is..." the emperor asked.

Xiao Jiuqin was annoyed by Bai Yan and forgot where he was. Now that he was being called by name, he felt a little uncomfortable, and he couldn't handle it right now.

Bai Yan sighed inaudibly, took a step forward, happened to stand in front of Xiao Jiuqin, and said as usual, "Your Majesty, Lord Hou just drank a little too much and felt uncomfortable in his stomach. The officer led him out Breathe."

The emperor looked tired these few days, there were many loopholes in Bai Yan's words, but he didn't take it seriously, so he waved his hand and asked the two to go out.

The sound of silk and bamboo at the palace banquet gradually faded away, Xiao Jiu and Qin Baiyan walked to the flower garden near Qique Terrace. Most of the court ladies and eunuchs are in Qique Terrace tonight, and it is very quiet here. The autumn wind at night is a bit cool, but it just dispersed The smell of alcohol on the two of them.

After walking through the long corridor, Xiao Jiuqin suddenly pushed Bai Yan to the back of the rockery with his strength, and the hostility in his eyes could not be concealed, "What the hell are you thinking?!"

Bai Yan's back hit the rock, causing him to inhale slightly in pain.

Xiao Jiuqin said in a deep voice, "Every time you put on a show, what do you want?!"

"I don't even know what I'm thinking, and how can I tell Lord Hou... As for whether you are pretending, Lord Hou might as well untie the clothes of the subordinate officials and have a look. What's wrong with pain?"

As he spoke, bitterness appeared on the corner of his mouth, "If you don't believe me now, you think that everything I say and do has ulterior motives."

Originally, before tonight, Bai Yan had persuaded himself to ignore all the malice in Xiao Jiuqin's mouth, but it was obviously impossible. Xiao Jiuqin was not good at words in the past, but now his words are bloody, no matter how powerful Bai Yanrao is It is hard not to be hurt by his words.

Harsh words hurt Liu Yuehan, but Bai Yan felt that every word Xiao Jiuqin said tonight seemed to stab his heart with a knife.

"You still want me to believe you?" Xiao Jiuqin snorted coldly, "Bo Yan, do you know what I hate the most?" He clasped Bai Yan's jaw, gritted his teeth, and said, "That's what my father said back then. You were not kicked out when you were brought into the Marquis of Pingjin!"

He suddenly moved closer, and the two breathed intertwined, but it was as if they were separated from each other, "Since you have done something dirty, don't expect me to look at you again," he said here and paused, "No , you are not an ordinary person now, with Yun Zhong and Huai Chun behind you, I am just a down-and-out Marquis, compared to you... I am afraid that it is that inconspicuous thing!"

"To shut up!"

Bai Yan suddenly spoke.

Xiao Jiuqin was startled.

He actually saw Bai Yan... cried!

Just now he was able to quarrel with him without losing the slightest bit. Even when he was pointed at by others, Bai Yan's back was still straight, the tails of his eyes were red, and a tear flowed down his cheeks!

Xiao Jiuqin's heart skipped a beat, and an unspeakable sense of shame welled up inexplicably.

He didn't expect Bai Yan to cry.
