Chu Li sighed inwardly.
The eldest prince's biological mother was not of high rank, she was just a noble lady, but as the emperor's eldest son, he was sincere, kind, and considerate, and he took good care of her on a daily basis.
"I understand what my eldest brother means. My uncle has made great military achievements and his reputation is growing. I hope my eldest brother will be more cautious and not offend him for my sake."
"My injury is not a problem."
Chu Yuanchi patted the back of her hand and told her not to think too much, as he would take care of everything.
After asking a few questions, Guan went to talk to other officials.
Look around.
The eldest brother, the second brother, the third brother, the fourth brother... they were all busy moving among the officials, negotiating government affairs, except Chu Li who stood there, oh, and the eighth prince Chu Aotian.
The two of them stood together, doing nothing, and no one paid any attention to them.
For this, Chu Aotian also comforted her:
"Ninth brother, you are still young. When the emperor assigns you tasks in two years, you will be able to share the worries of the emperor like your elder brothers."
Chu Li glanced at him.
Isn't he just like her?
And comfort her.
Fool.
Chu Li walked away with his butt sticking out.
"Ninth brother, your butt is so nice... mmmm!"
Shut up!
About two quarters of an hour later, all the officials had arrived, the princes had taken their seats, and the emperor, the empress and the imperial concubine came forward. Chu Li was about to stand up and salute when she saw the regent, who had taken his place, walk up to her and sit down.
Their seats are close together!
Why!
The regent is second only to the king and above everyone else, and his seat is closest to the king; even if they have to sit in a row, shouldn't the eight royal brothers sit in front of him?
"Father, I am the ninth child in the family, why do I sit so close to the front?"
The current King of Chu is a middle-aged man in his fifties. He is dressed in a bright yellow brocade robe. He is thin and his slightly plump face shows his youthful grace.
He looked over and said gently:
"Xiaojiu is short and sits too far away. I can't see you."
Chu Li choked slightly.
I would really thank you.
"Everyone, please take your seats. Tonight we will have a feast to celebrate the regent's victory in the war and the signing of a thirty-year peace treaty for our Great Chu. This is a blessing for the Great Chu and the people."
The King of Chu sat down with his legs wide open and raised his wine glass high:
"What a victorious regent."
"What a loyal and faithful minister, Chu Dichi!"
The voice was high and inspiring, and all the officials raised their glasses to celebrate:
"To His Majesty the Regent!"
Chu Di Chi Mo's eyes were calm, like a deep pool without ripples. He picked up the white jade wine cup with his strong knuckles and drank it all in one gulp.
Chu Li sat next to him, so small.
He is nearly 1.9 meters tall, with broad shoulders and a narrow waist. He has been fighting on the battlefield for many years, and his whole body is filled with a murderous aura like wind, sand and blood. Just by sitting there, he has a powerful aura.
At the age of fifteen, she was still growing, just 1.6 meters tall. Next to him, she looked like a skinny and small chick.
but.
That's all.
But they both sat flat, with their heads at the same height.
Because Chu Li had an injury on his hip, the seat was padded with a full twenty centimeters of cushion.
The comparison is quite funny!
Chu Li lowered his head, listening to them clinking glasses and talking loudly. He felt that sitting next to the Regent was extremely oppressive. Even when he reached out to eat, he seemed to be stared at by a pair of eyes as sharp as a knife.
It's extremely painful.
Sitting on pins and needles.
I just hope the celebration party will end soon.
Just as I was distracted, I heard a sigh:
"Is there really such hard jade in the world?"
"Jade is fragile and easily broken, can it really be as strong and unbreakable as a sword?"
What jade?
Chu Li looked up and saw a eunuch holding a long brocade box. On the inky black soft cloth lay a deep blue sword.
The azure color is crystal clear and flawless. Under the candlelight, it reflects dark light and sparkles brightly. It is as beautiful as the cloudless sky, so blue and pure.
This is actually made of jade!
Can jade be made into a sword?
Wouldn't it break if it were dropped, bumped or hit?
Chu Dichi sat lazily, his hands resting on the armrests. "This is the Jingbi Blue Jade that I dug out from the underground of a thousand-meter-high mountain range in the Western Regions during my Western Expedition. It is said that this jade is as hard as steel and can cut iron like mud. I ordered the craftsmen to make it into a sword overnight and give it to my brother."
Chu Li quickly retracted his hand.
The two people sat close together and shared the same armrest.
When he came closer, she wanted to shrink into a corner and hide far away.
The man raised his eyes and looked directly at the emperor in dragon robes, his sharp brows showing his flamboyance:
"This sword is both beautiful and can kill people. When you use it, my brother, please be careful not to let the sharp blade pierce the throne!"
When these words were spoken, everyone was shocked and the atmosphere in the hall changed drastically.
How can a jade sword pierce the throne?
The Regent is openly challenging His Majesty!
What a courage!
Is this a rebellion?
Over the years, the Regent has become more and more courageous in battle, and with the Black Armored Guards trained by him, he can kill gods and Buddhas. Even if he wants to rebel, no one dares to stop him.
All the officials held their wine glasses with stiff expressions, not daring to move.
The serving palace maids and eunuchs lowered their heads and retreated, not daring to breathe.
Chu Li slammed the table in his heart:
Mother was right. The Prince Regent really had a rebellious heart! That was why he dared to punish the prince with a stick, so recklessly.
Father, punish him!
Deal with him quickly!
The atmosphere was solemn.
a long time.
The King of Chu looked a little gloomy, and his fingers gripping the wine glass tightened, but he loosened them without making a sound, and said with a smile:
"It is the first time I have seen such a hard and beautiful jade in the world. My princes, please take a look and open your eyes."
The eunuch held the brocade box in his hand, and walked to the seats one by one, sweating profusely.
Blessed body and served the past.
The eldest prince Chu Yuanchi took a look and said, "It is indeed a rare and fine jade."
The second prince said, "It is hard to find a beautiful jade, but my uncle is thoughtful."
The Third Prince said: "..."
When the brocade box was presented to Chu Li, she took a closer look and found that the sword carved from beautiful jade was so beautiful that she couldn't help but touch it with her fingertips.
It feels cool to the touch.
It’s truly the best!
Snap——
However, before he could withdraw his hand, the jade sword broke into two pieces.
Chu Li was stunned:
"this!"
"Ninth brother, you are very skilled!" The Sixth Prince stood up and shouted, "The rumored Jingbi Blue Jade from the Western Regions is just so-so, but the Emperor's uncle actually regards it as a treasure, hahahaha!"
Chu Li's expression changed drastically and he subconsciously looked at the man next to him.
Chenggong saw the gloomy look on Chu Dichi's face, and the knife in the corner of his eyes was enough to execute her on the spot.
no.
Not her!
She just touched it lightly.
She didn't use any strength at all!
The Sixth Prince smiled to ease the tension, and the Prime Minister also cupped his hands and said with a smile:
"The Regent has been fighting outside for a long time. The wind and sand in the Western Regions blurred my eyes and I couldn't tell the difference between the jade and the sword. I guess it was not intentional."
The fourth prince joked:
"Since ancient times, beautiful jade is easily broken. This Jingbi Blue Jade is also vulnerable to worldly things. The emperor's uncle may have been deceived by those thieves in the Western Regions."
The Second Prince: "The Emperor's uncle was fooled. Fortunately, my ninth brother acted in time. Otherwise, we would all be kept in the dark and become a joke."
Chu Li waved his hands in panic: "It's not me, I didn't..."
The King of Chu raised his glass and laughed:
"Xiao Jiu, you are my favorite!"
no!
"Father, I! I..."
It's over.
The Regent provoked the Emperor, but she made the Regent the biggest joke at the celebration banquet, which was like slapping the Regent in the face several times.
As soon as Chu Li closed his eyes, he felt his life was in danger.
I took the wine brought by the eunuch and took a sip, but it suddenly stopped working!
It's vinegar!
"puff!"
Instantly, the whole hall was in uproar.
When Chu Li recovered, he found that he had sprayed the Regent in the face. The sour vinegar dripped from his brow to the tip of his nose, slid to his chin, and dripped onto his collar.
In an instant, she even thought about where to bury herself.
