Chapter 326 The Skinny Horse from Yangzhou Sent to Disrupt the Country (23)
......It was truly a unique favor, and everyone dared not look at it for too long.
The emperor sat at the same table, and there was this dress code...
Specifications of the Royal Concubine......
She is no longer just a concubine.
Some people sighed inwardly, but did not dare to say a word. After all, Shi Wenjin's methods were becoming more and more fierce, and any carelessness could lead to fatal disaster.
And the one who can compete with him...
When Shi Yanqing came, he saw Shi Wenjin and Qing Wu being in love.
The hand hidden under the sleeve suddenly clenched into a fist.
His arrival seemed to bring a chill to the warmly decorated palace, making people feel fear.
"Your Majesty is in a very good mood."
A cold voice suddenly rang out.
The entire noisy palace suddenly fell silent.
Shi Wenjin raised her eyes and saw the Regent striding in.
He wore a purple robe with cloud brocade and python pattern, with broad shoulders and a narrow waist. The corners of the robe were embroidered with twelve chapters. Around his waist was a gilded jade belt inlaid with gemstones. His back was straight like a pine tree bearing snow.
The black brocade boots rolled over the white marble tiles, and the jade belt buckle at the waist made a clear sound, startling the birds napping on the gilded parrot stand under the eaves.
Compared to Shi Wenjin's ferocious look on the bright yellow dragon robe.
Shi Yanqing always wears purple clothes.
It seemed to be a color that came from his bones, a purple that was soaked in power and killing. After years of precipitation, it finally condensed into a "royal color" that made the mountains and rivers bow down to it.
He was imposing, his gaze...
Looking straight at the imperial concubine Shi Wenjin who was sitting at the top.
The purple-robed prince raised his hand and bowed lightly to the emperor sitting on the throne, performing a casual salute.
The dark patterns on his sleeves were faintly visible in the candlelight. His fingertips casually fiddled with the gilded belt buckle at his waist without even raising his eyelids. His nonchalant look seemed to be about to overflow from the hall.
But to the imperial concubine...
"The imperial concubine is well." The purple-robed prince's attitude suddenly changed.
He lowered his eyes, gathered his sleeves, and arched his back slightly. His fingertips gently brushed the python pattern embroidered with gold thread on the cuffs, and his voice became a little more clear and mellow: "The imperial concubine is well."
The ending tone rose slightly and lingered in the hall, as if carrying some unspeakable meaning.
Hidden longing and attachment.
The atmosphere became increasingly tense.
An obvious murderous intent flashed in Shi Wenjin's eyes.
All the ministers below lowered their heads, not daring to even breathe.
this......
I've heard that the imperial concubine was born in the Prince Regent's Palace, but how could this be...?
There's a suspicion that the Concubine was sent by the Regent to confuse the King, but the current situation...
It's more like the emperor stole the regent's woman.
The ministers who noticed this atmosphere felt their hearts skip a beat.
In this suffocating silence, a sharp announcement suddenly came from outside the hall, like a sharp knife cutting through a heavy curtain: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has arrived—"
Following this announcement, the gilded beast-ringed door burst open, and a cold wind blew in with broken jade and pearls. The candlelight in the hall suddenly became brighter, making the golden dragon on Shi Qi Jin's black brocade robe come alive, as if it was about to take off into the sky in the next second.
Born with supernatural powers and having made countless military achievements, the protagonist of this banquet—
The most eccentric and cruel prince of the Dashi Dynasty, Shi Qijin, has arrived.
The cold wind, carrying dust, swept across his angular jawline, his brow bones slanted down into his temples like a knife, and his shadowed eyes tilted up slightly.
There was a hint of temper in the corners of his eyes, as if an ice pick had been quenched with fire. It was clearly emitting a scorching light, but it also made the back of one's neck feel cold.
He walked slowly into the hall, his dark brocade robe fluttering in the wind, revealing the jade belt with gilded animal heads around his waist. The coiled dragon embroidered with gold thread swam with his movements, even more scorching than the candlelight in the hall.
His broad-shouldered and narrow-waisted figure was wrapped in a wide robe, yet it exuded an oppressive feeling that was hard to ignore, like a beast lurking in the shadows, with every bone containing the power to destroy cities and capture strongholds.
When he raised his eyes and scanned the people at the banquet, his eyelashes cast tiny shadows under his eyes, and the dark tide surging in his eyes made all the nobles in the room hold their breath.
It was the murderous intent surging from years of fighting, and the cold gaze of a superior looking down upon an ant.
A hint of meaning flashed across Qingwu's eyes.
The last time they met, Shi Qi Jin had just returned from the battlefield, looking a little dusty and exhausted, which had suppressed some of his bad temper.
Moreover, he was a little at a loss because of Qingwu, and rarely showed some anxiety and nervousness of a young man.
But now, after carefully dressing up, he revealed himself to be the "Crown Prince" Shi Qijin, who had made countless military achievements at a young age and whom neither Shi Yanqing nor Shi Wenjin dared to underestimate.
The phoenix eyes, like those of Shi Yanqing and Shi Wenjin, were made more ruthless by his perverseness.
Shi Qi Jin glanced at everyone present with an expressionless face. His cold gaze first fell on Shi Yanqing, who always tried to stir up trouble.
Then he moved on to the so-called "Father Emperor" who always had a smile on his face and didn't look like a good guy.
But after seeing Shi Wenjin, the beauty beside him was staring at him with an ambiguous smile on her face.
There was a hint of unnaturalness in his eyes.
The change was so obvious that Shi Yanqing and Shi Wenjin narrowed their eyes almost at the same time.
Facing the gazes of these two people, Shi Qijin seemed indifferent. He also casually saluted Shi Wenjin.
He has always been like this.
Then, Shi Qijin turned his gaze to Shi Yanqing, a faint sneer on his face, and said, "The banquet has already begun, and the Regent still wants to stand here?"
There was a hint of sarcasm in his tone, as if he disagreed with Shi Yanqing's intimidation.
With Shi Qi Jin's intervention, Shi Yanqing looked unhappy and could only sit in the first seat on the left.
Shi Qi Jin seemed to be completely unaware of the undercurrents between Shi Wenjin and Shi Yanqing. The jade pendant on his waist swayed gently with his steps. The amber pendant reflected a warm yellow halo under the candlelight, which looked particularly dazzling.
He raised his hand to loosen the silver-studded tie at his collar, and the moment he sat down, his knee pushed aside the tassel curtain hanging from the edge of the table without hesitation. His right leg stretched out carelessly, and his python-patterned sleeves slid to his elbows, revealing the strong muscle lines on his forearms.
When he banged his elbow hard on the edge of the table, the entire set of mutton-fat jade utensils shook slightly, and the wine in the golden jade wine glass rippled, reflecting his slightly raised eyebrows and the corners of his eyes that seemed to be smiling.
Shi Wenjin held Qingwu's hand and finally said with a smile, "Now that everyone is here, let's start the meal."
"During the Mid-Autumn Festival, please do not be restrained."
Shi Yanqing was upset by Shi Qijin's words and was about to say something sarcastic when he suddenly realized...
