The banquet that followed was quite exciting, with constant singing and dancing, and everyone was not so restrained.
Those who wanted to talk to each other talked, and those who wanted to toast toasted.
Concubine Shu was about to stand up.
The emperor began to have a headache.
[Don’t come over here…]
[I just want to be quiet for a while.] 】
In fact, Concubine Shu was not the emperor. It took her an hour to put on makeup every day. Her clothes were priceless. They were made several months in advance. She changed and changed them again and again, and her jewelry was carefully selected. Only then could she appear so radiant.
How can you sit still then?
Of course, everyone needs to see it.
Then she walked around, slowly approached the emperor, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, I offer you a toast."
emperor"……"
【In fact, there is only one seat between you and me. There is no need for you to leave your seat. 】
[I really don’t understand what these women are thinking. 】
The emperor took his own glass of boiled water and drank it.
Concubine Shu walked away smiling.
Just let others see her new clothes, and then see that she and the emperor are talking and laughing and have a good relationship.
Do we really have to coax this emperor with a strange temper and special hobbies?
Please, she is a lady who is served by others at home, she can't do such a thing. Besides, she can't ruin her makeup, she has to look beautiful until the end of the party.
After Shufei came Defei. It was the first time that Anjiu met Prime Minister Jiang below, and finally understood why the emperor complained about Defei.
Defei is also a beauty. She looks so much like Prime Minister Jiang. With her serious expression, she is simply the female version of Prime Minister Jiang. Every time the emperor sees her, he gets as nervous as when he sees the Prime Minister.
This cannot be blamed on Concubine De, nor on the emperor. It can only be said that the genes are really too strong.
After that, there were more toasts, and the emperor drank one cup after another. After a while, he felt a little dizzy.
The emperor covered his head and looked very uncomfortable.
An Jiu wanted to laugh when watching this, his acting is really good, did boiled water make you drunk?
At this moment, Prince Ruyang stood up and said, "I have a gift for you, my brother."
After these words, the scene fell silent again.
The whole family looked to Prince Ruyang.
The prince just sent it off, but he didn't send it off.
What is Prince Ruyang going to give?
Don't hit a smiling face.
The emperor raised his head and looked down at Prince Ruyang with slightly smoky eyes.
Prince Ruyang was annoyed by being looked at, but he still smiled and asked his servant to bring up a box.
Prince Ruyang smiled and said, "Open it."
The box was opened, and there were two pots of flowers inside. They were pink, and the flowers were as big as a fist. They were very beautiful. It was rare to see such flowers in summer, let alone winter.
As everyone was amazed, a strange floral fragrance wafted over.
An Jiu was familiar with the smell of rose water. Without thinking, she took the handkerchief and covered the emperor's mouth and nose.
The emperor glanced at her, took the handkerchief, and swayed, looking very uncomfortable.
"Bring the flowers up to me to see." The Queen Mother spoke at this time. She winked at Xiaoji beside her, and Xiaoji ran downstairs to carry the flowers.
An Jiu was anxious to death.
"Eunuch Li, you can't let this flower be taken away."
Eunuch Li didn't know about the rose perfume. He was stunned at first and quickly asked Xiao Fuzi and others to stop them.
However, it was too late. Xiaoji moved nimbly and brought the flower to him.
The pungent scent of roses wafted over, and Concubine De, who was closest to her, couldn't help but frown.
"The flowers are fake, add some spices." Concubine Shu sniffed and found the scent familiar. She suddenly remembered the bottle of rose perfume that was spilled at the emperor's birthday banquet.
Coming again?
Is this thing really poisonous?
Concubine Shu took two steps back.
Prince Ruyang smiled and said, "The craftsman made it to look like a real flower, and added special spices. Do you like it, my brother?"
The emperor covered his nose and lowered his head, looking very uncomfortable.
An Jiu felt something was wrong and shouted, "Come and protect me, this flower is poisonous."
The Queen Mother said angrily, "You cowardly slave, stop talking nonsense. If you are poisonous, how come I am fine?"
Everyone looked over here, and for a moment they didn't know who was right.
At this time, a woman in a yellow gauze skirt came running over: "Your Majesty is ill... Your Majesty, please spare my life... Don't kill me... Woo woo woo..."
It's Qin Mei.
"How dare you." Eunuch Li wanted to send someone to take Miss Qin away, but the Queen Mother said angrily, "Li Defu, I am still here, it is not your turn as a slave to speak."
She looked at Qin Meiru: "I remember your love for the emperor, how dare you talk nonsense here?"
Qin Meiwu cried and said, "Queen Dowager, please save me. I am scared... His Majesty is crazy and he gets mad from time to time. When he gets mad, he kills me. I was almost killed by him... Woo woo woo... I am scared... Queen Dowager, please save me."
There was the quiet smell of falling needles in the palace.
The old ministers were silent. The Queen Mother and Prince Ruyang were right in their design, but there had always been rumors that the Emperor was ill. There was no smoke without fire, and they also wanted to see what was going on.
The Queen Mother said with a worried look on her face: "Tell me slowly, why is the Emperor so crazy? If you talk nonsense and slander the Emperor, I will never forgive you."
Qin Mei said pitifully, "Last summer, in the Imperial Garden, before I could get close to him, he suddenly went mad and picked up a knife to kill me. Fortunately, the guards arrived and saved my life. Later, I dared not get close to Your Majesty. But Concubine Mei was unlucky. She took the palace maid to bring soup to Your Majesty, and it happened that Your Majesty had an attack and killed Concubine Mei's palace maid. Concubine Mei was terrified, and she came to find me, saying that she was so scared that she couldn't sleep all night. She also said that Your Majesty would kill her sooner or later. She said that Your Majesty was just a lunatic..."
The sound of a pin drop could still be heard in the palace, and Qin Mei's voice could be heard echoing.
Prince Ruyang pretended to be polite and asked, "Is there any misunderstanding?"
Qin Mei shook her head: "I swear to you that every word I say is true. If I tell even a single lie, I will be struck by lightning and die a miserable death."
A sudden chuckle came from behind, which was very harsh.
Everyone looked over and saw that it was actually King Ming.
When the King of Ming saw everyone looking at him, he said coldly to Qin Mei, "Where is that noble Mei?"
Qin Mei continued, "Not long after this happened, His Majesty, who had not been to the harem, suddenly came, and then... then Concubine Mei was killed by His Majesty..."
Li Defu took one look at the emperor and knew that the situation was not good. He sneered: "Noble Mei tried to assassinate Your Majesty, Your Majesty will not deal with her."
Qin Mei shook her head: "Woo woo woo, I didn't lie. Everyone in the palace knows that the former palace maids in Guanghua Palace were all killed by your majesty when he went crazy."
Li Defu said angrily: "Don't talk nonsense, my lady. Several people died in Guanghua Palace before. They all deserved to die. These people wanted to murder your majesty."
"There are so many people in the palace, all trying to murder Your Majesty?" Qin Mei said timidly, obviously very scared.
She was the emperor's daughter, and it made her feel uncomfortable to see a concubine being afraid of a eunuch.
"If the emperor has any questions, why not ask the servants in Guanghua Palace?" Prince Ruyang suddenly said.
Prince Ming sneered and said sarcastically: "Although my seventh brother is not in the capital, he knows a lot and can find a lot. His hands are really long."
Prince Ruyang smiled with a fake smile: "I also do this for the country and people of Xia."
Prince Duan looked at this and that, his brain wasn't working very well.
King Jing had a gloomy expression. He knew the emperor's situation. Looking at the emperor who kept his head down, he lowered his eyes.
Prince Jing leaned back in his chair tiredly and spoke with difficulty: "Is there any misunderstanding?"
The Eighth Prince also frowned slightly.
What's going on? There are so many troubles and disputes in this secular world, he should go back to the temple.
The Queen Mother sneered: "The Emperor's health is of great importance. I think it's better to ask clearly. If you are unclear, it will prevent the Emperor from getting sick in the future and causing mistakes."
The people below all felt a chill on their necks.
The Queen Mother was right. What if the Emperor got sick and was killed in the court? What would they do?
