Empress is a sick beauty

Yun Yi froze his body, and the people around him were too close, so close that he tilted his head so that there was no distance between them.He didn't dare to move, for fear of scaring people away, but he didn't want to dodge, so he wanted to get closer to him.

In the midst of a dilemma, he turned his eyes away, "Someone else wrote it for me, imitating my notes." Of course, it was impossible for him to copy the prayer scriptures for that person.

As Ling Xi expected, although their Royal Highness Yi Wang is pure in nature, he is definitely not a master who repays evil with virtue.

After the swing frame was set up, Ling Xi went around it for a while, and then sat on it to try it out. There was a block on the head, so it would be exposed to the sun and rain? Don’t worry, it really is a suitable place to stay in summer.

"Did Ling Xi play on the swing before?" Yun Yi walked behind him at some point, put his hands on the rope, and looked down at the people on the swing.

Ling Xi tilted her head and thought about it, "It's all about my childhood. My mother was in good health at that time, and occasionally took me to town."

"You might as well recall the memories now." Saying that, Yun Yi gently pulled the rope, and the swing began to sway slightly.

Ling Xi turned her head helplessly, "Your Highness, I am no longer a child." Only children like to swing.

Yun Yi controlled the strength of the swing, and suddenly joked, "But some people like candy, and only children like candy."

Ling Xi was at a loss for words for a while, and couldn't find a way to reply, so she turned her head around and stopped talking.

It seems that His Royal Highness Yi Wang is really in a good mood today, and everyone knows that he is teasing him.

He casually looked into the distance, and saw something like a ball of cotton rolling towards him, and upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a snowball.

Xueqiu ran to Ling Xi's feet and tried to run up, until Ling Xi hugged it up.

Ling Xi was stroking Snowball's fur. She hadn't seen his ferret so alive since the beginning of summer.

"Snowball must be so happy because His Highness is here."

Yun Yi supported the swing, sat down on the other side, and saw Ling Xi's face hanging down a strand of black hair, and without thinking about it, she raised her hand and put it behind his ear.

Ling Xi suddenly froze, and even the hand stroking Snowball stopped in place.Snowball couldn't wait for his master to smooth his hair, and started to make a fuss, rolling in his arms.Ling Xi came back to her senses, hugged Xueqiu tightly, her eyes didn't know where to look.

Maybe it's because he didn't make many friends, he never saw other friends as close as he was with King Yi, even when he was in the Shen residence, the eldest brother was never so close to him.

Ling Xi suppressed this feeling of strangeness, maybe he made a big fuss? No wonder, friends are nice to a certain extent, and it is normal for them to be closer.

Soon, it was the day of the holy birthday banquet, and the palace began to gather at noon.Ling Xi went to supervise in person, mainly to look at the layout of the Junlan Pavilion.Looking forward from the Junlan Pavilion, it is a stage show, with Clivia planted on both sides. It is the place where large banquets are usually held in the palace.

The seat of the Holy Majesty is naturally in the middle, and it is lined up from the middle to the two sides. The concubines are on the right hand, the princes and nobles are on the left hand, and then the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty.As the person in charge of the banquet, Ling Xi's seat is not too far away.Who will arrange the performance, who will watch the imperial dining room serve the food, he has already prepared it properly, and the inspection on the day is just to be sure.

Each banquet table is very particular, and the dishes and wines have been adjusted according to the preferences of different people. For example, the Holy One does not like beef, so there will never be any beef dishes on the table.Therefore, from the time of preparation in the imperial dining room, the delicacies and wines for each table have been determined to be exact.

The birthday banquet officially started in Shenshi. Ling Xi knew? Today, the emperor loves to listen to operas. He specially arranged two operas to be placed at the beginning and the end respectively, with singing and dancing in between. The juggling class came into play.

At the beginning, when the Eight Immortals celebrate their birthday, the emperor smiled, and when the people saw the emperor smiling, they also laughed in sympathy.

"Who chose the play?"

The chief eunuch stepped forward quickly, bowing his waist and said, "All the performances at this year's birthday banquet have been watched by Mr. Ling from the Ministry of Rites, especially those about operas, which were also selected by Mr. Ling himself."

The emperor nodded, "Go and call someone over."

Seeing Ling Xi? The chief eunuch came to look for it in person, but he expected the emperor to ask him to go, so he immediately got up and went to the holy place with the chief eunuch.A few words made the emperor Long Yan very happy, and immediately gave him the imperial wine.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

The emperor was not stingy at all about his talent, not only gave wine, but also a mouthful of gold, not to mention cloth and satin.

Ling Xi thanked her again, but the emperor didn't tell him to go back, so he had to stand aside and wait.Out of the corner of her eye, she casually glanced to her side, feeling the same sight, Ling Xi turned her head, and saw that she was also looking at her own King Yi.

The emperor raised his wine glass, and everyone followed suit, shouting long live.

The first play came to an end, followed by Fengzhu Heshouwu.Six blank screens were opened on the stage, and while the dancer was dancing lightly, she grabbed the ink-stained pen and swayed on the screen. After a while, there was the shadow of bamboo joints.

"Why is this dance called Fengzhu Heshou?"

Ling Xi nodded, "Return? Your Majesty, this dance is similar to painting and dancing. The dance is like the wind, and the brush is bamboo. Green bamboo means longevity, so it got its name."

"Okay, well said." Since returning from Hangzhou, the emperor hasn't laughed like this for many days because of the assassination. "Ling Xi, the minister of the Ministry of Rites, I really didn't make a mistake."

"Lord Ling is naturally a wonderful man with great talents." Mu Wang said with a smile while holding his wine glass, with a little drunken brow, "I always want to seek advice from adults, but I can't find a suitable one." It's the right timing, but the third brother just finds it right, you guys? There's no reason to talk about it."

Ling Xi just smiled and said nothing, but King Xuan suddenly interjected, "Brother Huang, why did you get drunk so early today, and you're jealous with? Brothers?"

Mu Wang chuckled twice, wanted to continue teasing, but suddenly lost his voice.With a shake of his hand, the wine glass fell to the ground, shattered crisply.Immediately afterwards, Yun Mu grabbed the hem of his clothes like a bewitched man and tore them open forcefully, grabbed the attendant next to him, Hu Tianhu, and got up.

"presumptuous!"

The emperor sternly reprimanded, and the attendants beside King Mu rushed forward to pull them back. Unexpectedly, King Mu pushed everyone away like crazy, and fortunately he lifted all the tables.He stood up staggeringly, his clothes were disheveled, and he walked staggeringly, his eyes fixed on Ling Xi for a moment.

The moment King Mu rushed over, he was suddenly brought down by another force, fell to the ground and couldn't get up for a long time.

Ling Xi glanced at King Yi standing in front of him, and saw that the other party gave him a soothing look when he turned his head.

"Brother Huang is too drunk, how can you disturb father and emperor so much?" Yun Yi frowned.

Yun Mu couldn't find anyone to explain it to her, so she began to undress under the watchful eyes of everyone, still muttering.

The emperor's face was ashen, and he slapped the table, and shouted loudly, "Come on! Drag Mu Wang down, try to wake up before he wakes up, and throw him back to his Mu Wang's mansion. From now on, he will be banned for three months and fined one year's salary." Years, as an example to others."

The guards stepped forward quickly, wrapped King Mu up again and lifted him down.The people below didn't dare to speak out, especially Concubine De, who didn't dare to intercede for his son on the emperor's head, so they had to grit their teeth and endure.

Before Ling Xi returned to her seat, she met Princess Yunyin's eyes during the banquet. The two sides nodded and looked away from each other.

Thinking back just before the banquet, Princess Yunyin came to him quietly.Naturally, the harem was not allowed to have much contact with the courtiers, but Princess Yunyin came straight to him in a hurry, so there must be something important.

Ling Xi avoided other people's eyes and ears, and Yunyin hid behind the rockery, "Why is Your Highness so anxious?"

Yunyin looked around and made sure that there was no one in a low voice, "I accidentally ran into? Brother Dahuang's entourage sneaking around in the palace just now, so I followed and took a look, and saw? They? room, and came out again after a while. I continued to follow them out of curiosity, but I heard that Brother Dahuang ordered them to drink medicine in Lord Ling's wine."

"Prescribe medicine? What kind of medicine?"

Yunyin shook her head, "I didn't hear clearly after that, so I wanted to hurry over and tell my lord, be careful, Brother Da Huang is a small-minded man, it would be difficult for your lord to offend him."

Could it be because he rejected the invitation several times and hated him?

Ling Xi cupped her hands and said, "Thank you princess for telling me, I will be careful."

After Yunyin left, Ling Xi sent everyone away, and went directly to the imperial dining room with Qinggong without anyone noticing.He found the wine pot in his banquet, and didn't find anything wrong, but when he looked at the wine cup again, he could see the clues. There was a circle of fine powder on the inside of the wine cup. If you didn't look carefully, you wouldn't be able to notice it.

Although it is impossible to determine what kind of medicine the powder is, it could be something good that was sneaked in like this.

Ling Xi turned her head and swapped her wine cup with the one given to King Mu, and thus the farce of Shengqian began.

It turned out that King Mu wanted him to be disrespectful in front of the imperial court so that he could be punished for a serious crime of disrespect.In order to deal with him, the dignified prince even resorted to all kinds of tricks.

The things on King Mu's banquet had long since fallen to pieces, which was horrible. They were hastily cleaned up by the palace servants, but no traces could be found. No one knew that King Mu did this because of traditional Chinese medicine.And he has always had a good reputation, so he won't be suspected of being drunk so far.King Mu himself was already guilty of a crime, and he would not take the initiative to ask for an investigation. In this farce, King Mu's mansion must be dumb and eat coptis.

It's just that in this way, he offended King Mu thoroughly.

Ling Xi drank a glass of wine, shook her head and laughed, she would be offended sooner or later, she didn't care about this moment.

"Brother Immortal."

Ling Xi put down his wine glass, and looked up to see? The sixth prince stood in front of him, staring at him with big eyes blinking.

"Your Highness Sixth, why don't you accompany your concubine mother?" Ling Xi looked around and asked in a low voice.

Yun Jin smiled foolishly, "I saw Brother Shenxian just now, but the people around Brother Shenxian looked so bad, I didn't dare to go there. Brother Shenxian, when will you have time to play with Jin'er? Jin'er I want to go out to play."

Ling Xi grabbed a handful of chestnuts for him, "Wait until His Highness Six grows taller, and I will accompany His Highness out of the palace to play, and your third brother and sister, okay?"

"Okay, let's go together!"

Seeing Ling Xi coaxing people away, taking advantage of others not noticing this, coaxing Yun Jin back to Tian Cainu with a few words.

As soon as the side was clean for a while, Ah Jiu suddenly bypassed the barriers and ran to him, bowed his head and whispered a few words in his ear, which made his expression change drastically.

"My lord, something happened in Yangzhou."
