Chapter 136: Chasing the girl you like [Please vote for me~]
Xie Xingyun tightened his hands, but kept a calm expression on his face as he quietly ordered: "Ask someone to make a bowl of sobering soup."
Xiao Zheng said yes and quickly went to the dining room.
At the banquet, the lights were dim and the music was endless. During the banquet, Xie Xingyun placed the white fish without leaving a trace and let her lie on the table with her arms as pillows.
But where no one noticed, Li Changning still maintained her kneeling posture. Her face had turned the color of pig liver, and she spoke again with great annoyance, "Father, I will not accept it!"
The venue fell silent for a moment.
Concubine An's fingernails were clasped on the jade armrest, her eyes were gazing slightly, "Ning'er, your father has already opened the door, what are you going to do? Hurry and thank me!"
The veins on Emperor Wu Xuan's forehead were slightly visible, "What else do you have to be dissatisfied with?"
Li Changning glanced at Bai Xianyu's position with an aggrieved look, and said loudly: "I always remember my father's teachings and have never wronged anyone. Can Bai Xianyu be cleared of suspicion just because he is drunk? He is drunk just because he is drunk.
It's really not because of being so drunk
Are you feeling guilty? Ask the maids if Bai Xianyu asked for a lot of wine after she left the banquet and drank herself to death. If she wasn't feeling guilty, how could she suddenly drink so much?
Soju, this is very abnormal!"
"Abnormal? How is it abnormal to get drunk at a banquet? Xianyu's alcohol tolerance is not good in the first place. He can get drunk with just a few sips. To the Seventh Princess, you have a guilty conscience?"
A wine jar crashed on the table. Ji Shuang stood up, folded her hands on her chest, and looked coldly, "The Seventh Princess is so aggressive. Is she bullying Brother Xianyu who is not in Kyoto, so she is spitting blood?"
Li Changning gave her a sharp look, "Why is this princess so slanderous?"
Ji Shuang sneered and was about to speak, but was interrupted gently by the Queen Mother, "Okay."
Emperor Wu Xuan stared deeply at Li Changning, looked at the Imperial Guards on the side, and said, "Bring all the maids who bring food and wine."
"yes!"
Within a moment, more than a dozen maids were pressed over, all of them looking terrified, not knowing what was going on.
Qiaoer is also among them.
She stared at Bai Xianyu and drank the wine before returning to help elsewhere. Although Li Changning placed her among the people serving today, she still had to do some work.
Qiaoer glanced at Li Changning guiltily, and Li Changning raised his eyebrows and winked at her.
She was a little flustered. This was what happened. Otherwise, why would the seventh princess kneel in front of the palace?
"Let me ask you, did anyone bring wine to the Bai family girl today?"
Emperor Wu Xuan's voice was solemn and majestic, with hidden cruelty, "If you tell a lie, your whole family will be exiled!"
Qiaoer shivered and immediately kowtowed: "Your Majesty, yes, it was the wine I gave to the Bai family girl. She asked for it!"
"when?"
"Half...half an hour ago."
Li Changning cursed secretly and continued: "Someone must have given her wine. Tell her quickly, otherwise if your father finds out, you will be exiled!"
Emperor Wu Xuan's eyes carried a faint pressure as he glanced around. Although some people's legs were shaking with fear, no one stood up again.
Ji Shuang said at the right time: "No, it means no. I said that Xianyu has a bad drinking ability. When the Seventh Princess invited her to perform together, Xianyu was a little drunk. It happened to be about the same time as this maid said, so Xianyu didn't have it at all.
Will I do anything to frame you again if I get the chance?"
Emperor Wu Xuan's frown never relaxed.
"However... I am very curious. I wonder if your majesty can answer my questions?"
A faint smile appeared on Ji Shuang's lips, and she cupped her fists and saluted.
Emperor Wu Xuan said: "But it doesn't matter."
"I wonder how the seventh princess came to believe that Xianyu framed her?" Ji Shuang said calmly: "There is no reason to doubt...it makes people think too much."
I was afraid that it was a trap for Xiao Yu'er, but I couldn't succeed, so I insisted that it was hers.
They are all old foxes for thousands of years. The implication is self-evident. Emperor Wu Xuan's expression immediately changed, "That's enough! There is no need to mention this matter again. I think you think the punishment is too light, so I will deduct another year of your annual salary and increase it."
Copy the scripture three hundred times!”
Li Changning blushed with embarrassment and didn't answer for a long time. He just knelt there stubbornly.
Emperor Wu Xuan gave Concubine An a cold look and said coldly: "You taught me a good daughter!"
Concubine An's face turned pale, and she immediately gritted her teeth and left her seat. She walked up to Li Changning and slapped him, "Asshole! Can't you hear what your father is saying!"
Li Changning's body was shaken by the beating, and he quickly stood up and covered his face while crying.
The red marks on his face immediately swelled up like a hill, showing that he had worked very hard.
Emperor Wu Xuan did not stop him. He had already regained his composure and commanded with authority: "The banquet will continue."
At this moment, Xiao Zheng had already brought the sobering soup.
The great thing about Yunxiang is that you will be completely drunk after drinking it. The sobering soup and anti-hangover pills are all effective, and the investigation will definitely not find anything.
Xie Xingyun sent someone to feed Bai Xianyu.
After several banquets, the banquet did not stop until the time of Xu.
As soon as the banquet was over, Ji Shuang went over to pick up Bai Xianyu and sent her to the Zhenguo General's Mansion.
…
Also since the birthday party, Bai Xianyu's silver-frosted fairy dress with wide sleeves has become very popular, attracting all the girls to rush to this shop to buy ready-made clothes, and all the clothes she asked Aunt Sheng to prepare were immediately swept away.
Empty, even if the price has been very high, it is still far from enough.
"Sir, you don't know that the girl gave me a drawing that time and asked me to follow it, saying that it would definitely sell. However, within half a month, this silver-frosted fairy skirt with wide sleeves became popular.
When we started building it, the nearby shop didn’t have the drawings and couldn’t collect such expensive materials in a short time. The revenue in just a few days has increased several times, and it’s probably even worth the normal three months’ revenue.”
Aunt Sheng was so happy that she wrote a letter to Bai Mohuai.
Bai Mohuai sat on the chair and looked thoughtfully at Bai Xianyu who was pouring rouge in the yard.
In the spacious and bright courtyard, there are several exquisite porcelains placed on the square stone table. Some bottles and jars have their lids opened and placed randomly. There is an ancient book with half of its pages opened near Bai Xianyu's seat.
.
I originally thought she wanted to do it for fun, but unexpectedly she really took it seriously, and she did a great job.
Bai Mohuai replied with a letter, asking shopkeeper Sheng not to write this to him anymore. There was no need to write it at all. Aunt Sheng was just used to it, so she reported it.
…
After the birthday banquet that day, Emperor Wu Xuan closed the door to Concubine An.
The latter could not sleep at night, and finally "ran into" him one day after going to court on the road that Emperor Wu Xuan had to pass. She was wearing a light gauze and flowing smoke skirt that was particularly touching. There were all kinds of colors in the harem, but An Rouer was the only one.
To be extra bold, after not seeing each other for many days, Emperor Wu Xuan's anger was almost gone. After accepting the favor, Lady An lay in Emperor Wu Xuan's arms and spoke.
"Your Majesty, it was Ning'er's fault last time. Don't blame her. She has realized her mistake these days and sheds tears every day for fear that you will ignore her."
Emperor Wu Xuan frowned and then relaxed, "Why did you develop such a unruly temperament?"
Although his words were serious, Concubine An was good at observing words and emotions, and she immediately saw that Emperor Wu Xuan was still distressed.
She rolled her eyes and said sweetly: "I was also willful when I was young, but later when I met the emperor, I restrained my temper a lot. Doesn't the emperor only like me now?"
Emperor Wu Xuan suddenly smiled and said, "You are pushing the envelope even further."
Concubine An finally felt at ease knowing that she had been coaxed for the most part.
"But...you have reminded me that Ning'er is now getting haircut, and it's time for her to be married to someone else."
Concubine An's heart skipped a beat and she said as if unintentionally: "I think Xing Yun is pretty good. What do you think, Your Majesty?"
Emperor Wu Xuan thought of what Princess Jing'an had said before, frowned and said directly: "If Ning'er and An'er meet together, there will never be peace in Yun'er's house. Yun'er is unparalleled in intelligence and can be worthy of a great responsibility. If Ning'er and An'er are distracted by the back house,
, it is harmful to my country, Kui State."
Concubine An was unwilling to give in, "But..."
"However, in half a month, the Daqing envoys and their second prince Mo Linyuan will come to Kyoto." Emperor Wu Xuan pondered for a moment and said seriously: "I heard that this son is very extraordinary. If he is matched with Ning'er, Yun'er is not bad.
."
Concubine An was startled and her voice was trembling, "Your Majesty... do you want Ning'er to get married?"
"They are here for the fortresses on the frontier this time. They will stay for at least two months. During this period, I will have a group of princes and princesses of the right age to entertain them."
Emperor Wu Xuan glanced at her. Although the Daqing Emperor did not explain it, they had always sent envoys to negotiate between the two countries and never sent a prince. This showed that Daqing also intended to marry, but it was just to test their attitude towards Da Kui.
If he doesn't respond, Daqing will not lose face.
"What's wrong with Pai Ning'er marrying Daqing?"
Concubine An was speechless for a moment, but Emperor Wu Xuan had already closed his eyes and fell asleep.
Just ask anyone who knows the situation in several countries today and you will know how warlike Emperor Wu Xuan was. The reason why the Zhenguo General Mansion became a behemoth in Kyoto is that it was highly valued by the emperor, just because of the deep white sandalwood.
The battle was undefeated!
The eldest princess born to Empress Li was sent to get married. Within a few years, Emperor Wu Xuan ordered Da Kui's soldiers to attack the city. In March, more than ten cities were destroyed.
