I was startled and hurriedly walked forward. Pei Yuanhao had already raised his head, his cold eyes were like swords. I subconsciously turned my head to avoid it, but saw Pei Yuanxiu looking at me with his eyes wide open, as if

Some surprises.

I walked to the center of the banquet, knelt down and said, "I would like to pay my respects to the Emperor, and to the Queen to live a thousand lives."

"Who are you and what are you doing standing there?"

"Slave——"

I was about to speak when Yao Yingxue stood up and said, "Back to you, I am my maid. Because my hand was injured, I asked her to rest. But just now I felt a little cold, so I asked her to

I went to warm up the stove and she brought it to me."

"Oh, that's right." The Queen nodded.

I lowered my head and knelt in the middle of the banquet. Everything around me became quiet. I didn’t know how many pairs of eyes were looking at me at the moment. It made me feel very nervous. I just wanted to leave here quickly and was about to send the heater to Yao Yingxue.

In my hand, I saw Queen Yin getting up and walking towards me.

She stretched out her hand to lift my chin, looked at it carefully for a while, then suddenly smiled and said: "In this palace, the third prince is the best at choosing people. Yingxue is a great beauty. I didn't expect that even the maids around her are like this."

Shui Ling."

As she said that, she turned to look at the princes sitting on both sides: "You should also learn from this."

"The Queen Mother praised me."

As soon as Pei Yuanhao opened his mouth, it was like a gust of cold wind blowing through, and the originally lively atmosphere of the entire night banquet was filled with a chill.

At this time, a person said: "There are so many beautiful women around Third Brother. Father, Queen and Mother, you too underestimate Third Brother's ability."

The person who said this was the Fourth Prince Pei Yuanchen who was sitting next to the Crown Prince. Next to him was the Sixth Princess Pei Yuanzhen. The two had the same mother. Because their mother Zhao Shuyuan was Queen Yin's dowry and served the Emperor during the Queen's pregnancy, she was able to

canonized, so mother and son obeyed Queen Yin and the prince, and were particularly attached to them.

Pei Yuanhao raised his eyes coldly: "Fourth, what do you mean by this?"

"It's not interesting, third brother, I'm just complimenting you."

"Praise me?" He sneered: "Third brother, I want to praise you. He Qingzhou's house was confiscated, and his son should have been sent to work for three thousand miles, but how come he was brought into your house and became a servant?

”

Pei Yuanchen's expression suddenly changed: "You——"

The people around were also shocked, including me, who was kneeling in the middle. The fourth prince Pei Yuanchen’s habit of cutting off his sleeves had been heard in the palace for a long time, but he didn’t expect it to be true. Even the emperor, who had been drinking, was wrinkled.

He raised his eyebrows and said: "Fourth, you are so shameless, you even dare to protect the son of the guilty minister!"

Pei Yuanchen stood up hurriedly and said: "Father, my son and I don't dare!"

"Don't you dare? Then tell me, what happened to He Qingzhou's son!"

Pei Yuanchen's face turned red and white, and he was unable to speak. At this time, the prince Pei Yuanxiu stood up and said with a slight smile: "Father, there is no need to be angry. There is a reason for my fourth brother to do this."

"What's the reason?"

"My father also knew that the gentry in the south had always resisted the imperial court and used all possible means to do anything. He Qingzhou used a poem to insinuate that the crime was unpardonable. Although my father ransacked his home, those people in the south did not give up and only took

Etiquette and Taoism made a fuss, and they all supported He Qingzhou."

"Oh?"
