The General and the Princess

The palace banquet three days later is coming in a blink of an eye.

In the palace with carved beams and painted buildings, huge antlers are placed in the center.

Surrounded by round night pearls.

Against the background of the night pearl, the nine-color brilliance of the antlers became more and more dazzling.

Reflected on the surrounding white luminous pearls, the beads are also reflected in brilliance, which makes people unable to take their eyes off.

All the ministers were deeply attracted by the scene in front of them.

"Auspiciousness descended from the heavens, our Xiao Kingdom will surely prosper." Hubu Shangshu couldn't help admiring.

"Xiao Kingdom has great luck." Minister of Rites echoed.

The emperor looked at the expressions of the surrounding ministers and nodded with satisfaction.

The Empress and Concubine Wan sit next to the Emperor, and Concubine Li sits below Concubine Wan.

The surrounding ministers looked at this scene, and originally thought that the fourth prince had lost power, and they were concerned about it.

The third prince's eyes were gloomy, he thought he had the upper hand, but unexpectedly he was chased by the fourth prince.

Di Shengyue took everyone's reactions into her eyes, and slightly curled her lips.

The sound of silk and bamboo is endless, the table is full of delicacies and delicacies, and two identical silver pots are placed in front.

Inside the cup, the transparent liquid glowed with a lustrous luster.

Di Shengyue picked up a cup, put it on the tip of her nose and sniffed, only a faint fruity aroma.

She looked at the two silver pots in front of her, and there was a flash of light in her eyes.

Although the two silver pots are exactly the same, one is filled with fruit tea, while the other is filled with fine wine.

She stretched out her hand to one of them, held the silver pot in front of her, and sniffed it lightly, there was a faint fragrance of sweet-scented osmanthus.

It is actually the most famous sweet-scented osmanthus wine in Xiao Country.

This wine smells only of sweet-scented osmanthus, but it is strong.

Just as she was about to pour herself a glass, she was caught by a small white hand on the way.

Di Shengyue turned her head to look, and met Xiao Yinxue's slightly angry eyes.

"Why didn't I know you were good at drinking!" Xiao Yinxue said.

"Princess, I'm just curious and want to try it." Di Shengyue said.

"Drunkenness is a mistake!" Xiao Yinxue snatched the flagon from Di Shengyue's hand and put it back.

"Princess, I've already made arrangements." Di Shengyue said.

"That won't work either." Xiao Yinxue pushed the wine pot away, thought for a while, and ordered Luo Xiang to put the wine pot away, but found that Luo Xiang was not there.

"Where is Luoxiang?" Xiao Yinxue looked around, and found that Luoxiang had disappeared at some point, frowned, and asked You Tao.

"Back to the princess, Luoxiang said to go back to Fengxi Hall to get some things for the princess." You Tao replied, "Princess, do you want to send Luoxiang back now?"

"No need." Xiao Yinxue shook her head, knowing that Luoxiang has always been a measured person, she didn't think too much about it.

"Then you put away the jug first." Xiao Yinxue instructed You Tao.

"Yes." You Tao nodded.

Di Shengyue obediently handed the jug to You Tao.

"Why are you so obedient today?" Xiao Yinxue raised her eyebrows and looked at Di Shengyue.

According to Di Shengyue's temperament, she must have to struggle a few more times.

"After all, it's a palace banquet." Di Shengyue said with a faint smile hidden in her eyes, "Outside, the princess is the biggest, and I have to obey her in everything." But inside, it's hard to say.

Xiao Yinxue snorted lightly, hearing what Di Shengyue meant.

It's hard to say who listens to whom.

"Princess, let me serve you well." Di Shengyue picked up the jug on the table and poured a cup for Xiao Yinxue.

Xiao Yinxue took the cup and hadn't even taken a sip yet.

The sound of the music suddenly became excited.

One by one, dancers in red gauze dresses entered the palace banquet venue, their enchanting figures dancing around the antlers.

The leading dancer's waist is extremely slender and flexible, and she can't hold it tightly.

The red sleeves swung out, forming a red bridge in the air. The dancer at the head had a light body, stepped on the shoulders of her companions, and took a step in the air, her snow-white toes stepped on the red silk, as if walking in the air.

Her pair of beautiful eyes, shining like stars, are soul-stirring.

The surrounding ministers were deeply attracted.

Xiao Yinxue turned her head to the side, and found that Di Shengyue's eyes were staring unblinkingly at the dancing girl in the center, and she couldn't help feeling a little bit of anger in her heart.

Is this dancer so pretty!

It's just that the waist is a little slimmer, the waist is a little more flexible, and the figure is a little longer!

She is a little worse in every aspect!

Why is Di Shengyue watching so intently!

Sensing the fiery gaze from the side, Di Shengyue subconsciously glanced back.

He happened to meet those sullen eyes.

After a little thought, he knew where Xiao Yinxue's anger came from.

"Princess, look at your little mouth, it can hang a teapot." Di Shengyue smiled, and gently scratched Xiao Yinxue's little mouth with her index finger, "I don't see that dancing girl because That dancing girl is pretty. That dancing girl is a fine work."

"How did you find out?" Xiao Yinxue blinked curiously.

"Princess, why does the emperor want to hold this palace banquet?" Di Shengyue asked back.

"To show auspiciousness, let's celebrate together." Xiao Yinxue thought for a while and said.

"Yes, and no." Di Shengyue said with a hint of wisdom in his eyes, "Princess, what do you think of the guards at the venue?"

Thinking about the scene where Cai Luoxiang went out easily, Xiao Yinxue said: "Very relaxed."

"That's right." Di Shengyue said with a smile, "Auspiciousness is such an important thing, why are the guards so lax? Could it be that the emperor is a person who forgets to arrange guards because of his excitement?"

"Of course not." Xiao Yinxue shook her head, she knew better than anyone how suspicious and cautious her father was.

The defense is so lax, it can only be the father's intention.

Xiao Yinxue thought about it, and suddenly understood her father's plan.

Father did this on purpose, just to lure those minions in the palace to take the bait.

The last time I failed on the way back to Beijing, so this generous palace banquet is a chance for these meticulous workers to start.

"It's just that using auspiciousness as a bait is too much..." Xiao Yinxue suddenly realized, "Father already knew that it was a fake auspiciousness?"

If not, who would dare to gamble with something that represents the fate of the country. ,

"You said you had an idea, so I thought it was a good idea." Thinking that her father already knew that Di Shengyue was playing tricks, Xiao Yinxue couldn't help feeling a little impatient, "The crime of deceiving the emperor is a death penalty! You, how could you ..."

Father Huang didn't convict him at this moment, but he just wanted to lead out the spy, and when the spy was caught, Di Shengyue's charges would be handed down.

"Deceitful?" Di Shengyue curled her lips and said with a smile, "Where is the evidence?"

As soon as she finished speaking, faint smoke suddenly filled the surroundings of the dancer.

The leading dancer suddenly rose into the air, and accompanied by the lingering smoke, it was like a fairy descending from the earth.

Her hands were inserted into the coiled bun, and the black hair slid down like a waterfall.

There was a faint silver light flickering on her fingertips, and when she looked closely, there were dozens of steel needles!

Di Shengyue was the quickest to react, she shouted: "Escort!"

Then he stood in front of the emperor at a very fast speed.

Dozens of steel needles shot straight at Di Shengyue.

Looking at this scene, Xiao Yinxue covered her mouth nervously, she felt that she was almost out of breath.

All the hidden guards hiding around suddenly appeared, guarding in front of the emperor, completely blocking the steel needles.

Seeing that Di Shengyue was fine, Xiao Yinxue was relieved.

She was almost scared to death by Di Shengyue just now, how could she be so impulsive!

"There are assassins! Escort!" The eunuch finally realized at this time, shouting loudly while moving closer to the emperor.

The emperor looked at Di Shengyue with soft eyes.

At the most critical moment just now, it was Di Shengyue who rushed to save him regardless of his own safety.

With this action, the emperor confirmed Di Shengyue's sincerity in his heart.

Perhaps, he shouldn't have let Di Shengyue marry.

If such a loyal minister is placed on the battlefield, he will surely succeed.

But this idea only came to mind for a moment.

Taking advantage of the chaos, the dancer threw the long sleeves in her hands to the high beams, and with this strength, she rushed out of the hall.

"Xiangrui, Xiangrui is gone!" In the confusion, someone shouted.

Everyone turned their eyes to the antlers in the middle, and found that the place was already empty.

The assassin's attack just now was too sudden, everyone's eyes were focused on the emperor, and when he came back to his senses, the antlers had already been taken away.

The queen was the first to react, and said: "The assassin must not be far away now, the imperial forest army, guard the radius of ten miles, and search for this palace! This assassin must be caught!"

"Catch all these dancers first." Concubine Wan Guifei glanced at the queen and said lightly, "The assassin didn't take anything when he left just now, it must have been taken by her accomplices, and none of these dancers can be let go." .”

When the dancers heard the words, they all knelt down on the ground, trembling.

"Your Majesty." Di Shengyue saluted and said, "I thought that auspiciousness would not be on these dancers."

"Oh?" The emperor raised his eyebrows, looked at Di Shengyue, and said, "What do you think?"

"Report to the emperor." Di Shengyue said, "The other party has put in so much effort into arranging such a dance performance, and then used such a wonderful prologue. Didn't you expect that we would detain all the remaining dancers? Is it? So it is absolutely impossible for Xiangrui to be on these dancers."

Di Shengyue turned her eyes around the surrounding ministers and said, "Then the auspiciousness must be on the surrounding ministers or concubines."

The current atmosphere suddenly froze a bit.

"Then how can you find it?" asked the emperor.

"Reporting to the emperor, in fact, as long as this auspicious sign is still in the palace, it's not hard to find." Di Shengyue smiled and said, "I have done a lot of spice business with the princess these days, and my body has a strong smell of spices. Among them is the most famous soho incense in Wei country, if you put it on a little, the fragrance will last for three days." Having said that, she actually touched a lot of spices on the antlers.

Di Shengyue didn't need to say the rest, the emperor knew it too.

Everyone present, as long as anyone is contaminated with this fragrance, he is a person who steals auspiciousness.

It's just that the fragrance is not very strong, and there are not many people who have been in contact with Di Shengyue. If you investigate this way, it will be nothing more than finding a needle in a haystack.

"Father, I remember that Concubine Rou raised a Xuanfeng." Xiao Ning stepped forward and said, "Xuanfeng usually likes spices the most, and likes to get into spices the most."

"In that case, let Concubine Rou bring that Xuanfeng." The emperor ordered someone to call Concubine Rou.

Concubine Rou soon appeared at the palace banquet.

Seeing such a solemn scene, she was stunned for a moment, then hesitated at the door a little timidly, and did not enter the hall until the emperor was getting impatient.

"The concubine sees the emperor." Concubine Rou bowed respectfully, then patted Xuanfeng on the shoulder.

Xuanfeng flapped its wings, circled around the hall, suddenly turned sharply, and flew straight towards Hubu Shangshu.

The sharp claws slashed across the court clothes of Shangshu Hubu, and cut several holes in it.

"I like it! I like it!" Xuanfeng's sharp voice sounded.

Hubu Shangshu's complexion suddenly changed, he waved his sleeves desperately, but Xuanfeng kept grabbing him as if he had spotted him.

"Take him down!" Di Shengyue yelled, and rushed out first.

Just as Hubu Shangshu was about to flee, for some reason, his clothes suddenly burst into flames.

Hubu Shangshu hurriedly took off his court clothes and threw them out.

With a sound of "dong", the antlers and court clothes were thrown on the ground together, and the tongue of flame suddenly sprang up like a beast.

Completely involved two things.

Before everyone could even react, they had already turned into a pile of ashes.

Everyone looked at the pile of ashes, unable to recover for a while.

The emperor seemed to be in a hurry, and ordered the Minister of the Household Department to be impounded and executed on a certain day. He also ordered that today's auspicious things should not be spread, and anyone who talks too much will implicate the whole family.

The other assassin hadn't been caught yet, so the minister could only stay in the hall.

The ministers present were terrified and lowered their heads.

The auspiciousness was destroyed, and everyone was afraid to speak.

Di Shengyue returned to Xiao Yinxue's side, but she met Xiao Yinxue's eyes full of anger: "I saved you just now, aren't you very majestic?"

"Princess, drink a cup of fruit tea to calm down first?" Di Shengyue picked up the cup in front of Xiao Yinxue, and handed it to Xiao Yinxue.
