Chapter 22: Holding a Summer Banquet
The wooden boards split in an instant!
The moment the wood chips and dust rose, Ji Shiyan took action very quickly, and a white figure flashed by in chaos.
The people in the compartment wore a hat and could not tell their height. However, their sharp eyes were under the hat and looked at Ji Shiyan coldly.
Ji Shiyan was caught by the other party incorrectly. He sternly said: "I have to pretend to be a god. What is your identity that is shameful?!"
However, the man didn't say anything, raised his five fingers, and the four silver needles in his hand flashed brightly, flying directly towards Ji Shiyan!
Qing Xiuxiu exclaimed: "Prince!"
Ji Shiyan was caught off guard and was rubbed by a silver needle against her chin, and a blood mark instantly raised!
However, under Xu Bai's cover, Mr. Jinghua quickly escaped into a secret passage behind the partition wall and disappeared without a trace!
Xu Bai's breath was unstable and he expelled the guest coldly: "Prince, you have broken the rules. Please go back. This disease, please ask Gao Ming."
It means that they will no longer care about Qing Xiuxiu's illness.
Ji Shiyan's perfect jaw was still covered in blood, and his eyes were not very good: "Don't think I can't find out, who is the person here!"
Xu Bai was wrong and moved away and said, "The prince just go and investigate."
"Hmph!" Ji Shiyan shook her sleeves and left.
Qing Xiuxiu hurriedly trotted and followed: "Prince, wait for me!"
Until he got on the carriage, Ji Shiyan was still aggressive. He stroked his jaw and his eyes were dark and obscure.
Strange, so strange.
This man is very good at it, but his moves are something that Ji Shiyan has never touched in many years.
It is sharp and does not lose its power, and it is smooth and does not delay.
All movements seem to have been specially trained.
It was just a little bit too late to pull off her hat and see her face clearly!
He closed his palms—inside was a shell from the man he had pulled off while he was in a mess.
Who would wear such things in the sea on his body?
Qing Xiuxiu didn't notice his movements, but just looked at the scars on his face, looking worried.
"Prince, why do you want to expose Mr. Jinghua's face? Do you doubt anything?"
"If you pretend to be a god and a ghost, how could you be afraid of asking someone to see it?"
Mr. Jinghua may be Qingjiu's adulterer and has a close relationship with the Queen Mother.
How could Ji Shiyan not be concerned about pursuing?
He was still waiting to capture the adulterer and the woman in the pig cage!
Qing Xiuxiu pinched the handkerchief to rub blood on Ji Shiyan, looking distressed: "No matter what, the prince is too risky. When A Xiu sees you bleeding, she will feel distressed."
There was a fragrance on the veil, and it was full of Qing Xiuxiu's smell. Ji Shiyan blocked it with her hands: "No need, a minor injury."
Qing Xiuxiu's hands froze in place.
Recently, Ji Shiyan has refused her contact with her more and more...
As soon as their carriage arrived at the gate of the palace, Shen Mo walked quickly and even held a post in his hand.
"Prince! The Empress Dowager sent an invitation, saying that in the beginning of summer, there would be a summer banquet in Liuting Lake, and all the princes and nobles of Jieshi went to attend."
Qing Xiuxiu's eyes lit up: "Would you like to have a banquet?"
What kind of monster is going to be like? Ji Shiyan is so upset: "I'm back for me, what's the best thing to go to in Hongmen Banquet?"
"Uh, no," Shen Mo said with a tough forehead: "This invitation is not you, but... Let the princess be responsible for the arrangement of this event, and she will be rewarded."
"What?" Qing Xiuxiu couldn't help but jealous and said sharply: "My sister is a woman who never goes out of the door and doesn't work hard when she was a child. How could she know how to arrange such a big banquet?"
This empress dowager is too ridiculous!
Qing Jiujiu just made such a big joke to the Qing family, but she actually asked Qing Jiujiu to decorate a banquet?!
This banquet will benefit greatly.
Such a good thing, why give her some wine?
The silence gave different opinions: "Actually, I think that this is the Queen Mother's intentional blow."
Ji Shiyan opened her eyelids, and the silence was the same as his opinion.
"What do you mean?" Qing Xiuxiu asked anxiously.
Seeing Minghuang’s invitation unfold, Qing Xiuxiu glanced at: “A budget of 50,000 taels, and the summer banquet at Liuting Lake must be satisfied with the princes and nobles, otherwise they will be punished?”
It seems that Qing Jiujiu's actions have indeed annoyed the Queen Mother. It is not enough to hold a banquet for 50,000 taels.
You should know that Liuting Lake covers a large area, and there are at least two or three hundred nobles in Yanjing City.
50,000 taels, it’s hard to buy food!
Who can’t understand the meaning of open rewards and secret punishment?
Moreover, even if Qingjiujiu uses these 50,000 taels to complete the matter, it may not be praised.
If you don’t want to go against the Queen Mother, then the person attending the banquet will not be satisfied.
The Empress Dowager must have made a fool of herself in front of the entire Yanjing City.
This idea is so wonderful that Qing Xiuxiu almost couldn't help laughing out loud on the spot.
She was worried that she didn't know how to take action, so the empress dowager handed over the stool.
Qing Jiujiu, I won’t be able to play with you this time, so I, Qing Xiuxiu, have my name turned over and wrote it!
But she didn't notice that Ji Shiyan next to her looked unclear and didn't know what she was thinking.
Half an hour later, the entire Yanjing City was spreading the story of Princess Cheng'an's need to take charge of the summer banquet.
The rumors that Princess Cheng'an angered the Empress Dowager also spread.
Everyone thinks she might be dead this time.
Qing Jiujiu received this news because Zhou Tingyue brought it.
Beijing home backyard.
Qing Jiujiu took off her outfit, and even the scars on her face were torn off, revealing her bright and beautiful face.
Her eyebrows were a little cold.
This Ji Shiyan is even more bold and thoughtful than she thought.
However, with her many years of special forces training, Ji Shiyan wanted to get a bargain at her, and she thought it was beautiful.
"Little wine," suddenly sounded, and Zhou Tingyue walked over quickly: "Are you okay?"
Qing Jiujiu didn’t expect Zhou Tingyue to be in the house. She had not heard from him for many days: “Young Master, I’m fine, why are you in such a hurry?”
Zhou Tingyue looked her all over and saw that she was not injured, so he breathed a sigh of relief: "I heard from Xiaobai that you took the risk of approaching Ji Shiyan with Jinghua's identity. Why are you so bold?"
"Ji Shiyan has long been suspicious, and I'm afraid Xiaobai can't handle it."
Zhou Tingyue's face was a little pale. He coughed a few more times, but he still disagreed with Qing Jiujiu's method: "Ji Shiyan is more dangerous than you think, he is checking me."
Check Zhou Tingyue?!
Could it be——"He glanced at that night and then met on the palace road. You were sitting in the car and he recognized you?"
Zhou Tingyue nodded.
But Ji Shiyan clearly asked nothing at that time.
He doubted quietly, and then secretly sent someone to investigate Zhou Tingyue?
This dog thing!
It seems that their actions must be more careful.
"But young master, how could you be in contact with the Empress Dowager? Is your visit to Yanjing of the Great Zhou Dynasty this time because your mission is related to the Empress Dowager?"
Zhou Tingyue turned his back and nodded almost at a loss: "Yes, but Xiaojiu, I can't tell what the task is."
Zhou Tingyue leaned against the Zhou family, and Qing Jiujiu knew that his family relationship was complicated, so he was no different from inquiring about it.
But she could guess one or two.
Qing Lianyi’s search for Zhou Tingyue may have something to do with the current court.
——It must also be related to the Ji Shi Banquet.
"By the way, Xiaojiu," Zhou Tingyue turned around, with a hint of worry about his handsome face as if he was exiled. "This time the affairs of the Prime Minister's Mansion have become a big deal. The Queen Mother may be dissatisfied and thought of a way to make things difficult for you."
After listening to Qing Lianyi’s imperial edict, Qing Jiujiu smiled happily: “Is this a difficult thing? Isn’t this a gift to me?”
