Chapter 234 I’ll kick your head for you
Red walls, yellow tiles, cornices and brackets. Everywhere is majestic and solemn.
This was not the first time that the palace held a Cuju party. Everything followed the previous procedures. Empress Zou sat in the high hall of Jiaofang Hall and ordered her servants to prepare in an orderly manner.
Queen Zou is well-maintained and her charm is still there. But if you look closely, you can see that she is haggard under her eyes. There are only two names in her name: Prince Ji Zhen and Fifth Princess Ji Shimin.
She took the tea handed to her by the palace maid gracefully, took a sip, and wiped her lips with a handkerchief.
"Mother, didn't you get enough sleep last night?" Ji Shimin came in from the outside. She was wearing rose-red palace makeup and her appearance was very pleasing.
As soon as she arrived, the palace maids served tea and greeted each other.
When Empress Zou saw her, she couldn't help but smile.
"Mother, you're fine. Please take care of yourself. It's best if you can play Cuju today. If you're not feeling well, don't force yourself. It's you who will suffer later."
On the left and right is a banquet held in Ji Shimin's name, and she is the one being held in high esteem.
"The child knows."
Empress Zou nodded: "This banquet is held for the husband and wife who have never been married. It's hard for the mother to go. Your imperial brother and the fourth prince from the Mingqiu Palace are also married. If they don't go, you will
The most noble one."
Ji Shimin was about to raise her lips proudly, but the next moment she frowned: "That fool wants to ruin my good deeds even if I can't protect myself!"
Ji Cong loves to join in the fun. Even if he is not invited, he will come uninvited.
"Shut up!" Queen Zou scolded.
"He is also your second emperor brother after all."
She was scolding her, but there was a hint of disdain on her face.
"He looks like a child, why do you care about him? Concubine Jing of Mingqiu Palace protects her closely, but she doesn't care at all that he is stupid."
"If he is in trouble today, not only can you not laugh at him, but you must also suppress your emotions to protect him. This is the style of a true princess."
Ji Shimin had to agree even though she was reluctant, but it was inevitable that she would complain aloud.
"Over the years, Concubine Jing has often made excuses for that fool in exchange for the pity of the father, which has implicated you and the emperor's brother."
Queen Zou smiled but said nothing.
Before Ji Cong's accident, he was famous for his intelligence. Among the princes, except for Ji Cong, no one was as good as him.
If Ji Cong is fine, what's the point of adding Ji Wan? I'm afraid Concubine Jing of Mingqiu Palace will become even more aggressive.
Fortunately, one is stupid and the other is useless. If we are involved, we will be involved.
The most numerous people in the harem are the concubines. Officials can favor this one today and pity that one tomorrow. What's the use of having a favor? Consolidating one's status is the best strategy.
Otherwise, when something happened to Ji Cong, why didn't Emperor Geng punish him severely? It was Concubine Jing who used old things to vent her anger on Emperor Geng, and how could she have injured her bones and muscles?
Previously, Emperor Jie held Concubine Shao in his hand and was afraid, so he turned around and ransacked the entire Shao family.
But I have to say that Emperor Geng really loved her. During those days, he secretly went to Leng Palace to visit Shao Jinhui for three nights.
The emperor's visit was like a knife cutting her heart.
How could she not hate it!
Why is this happening! Emperor Hue still misses Shao Jinhui!
However, if you don’t want a king, you also want a beautiful woman.
Shao Jinhui hanged himself, and Emperor Jie vented his anger on Ji Li and sent him to be used as a hostage.
When Concubine Shao is favored, what does Concubine Jing mean?
After Shao Jinhui's death, Emperor Chu favored Concubine Jing, but Concubine Jing looked very similar to Shao Jinhui in profile.
This emperor is watching and thinking about people.
This deep feeling is really ridiculous.
Empress Zou warned: "The young ladies entering the palace today are from Yanglinghou Mansion. Please let the palace maids take a closer look. If they are injured or touched, they will not be able to do business even with your father. As for the other girls' maiden's family,
The world is also prominent, so please pay more attention."
"Your father is interested in Prince Xie. You must remember to get along well with the Xie family girls."
She missed the mark slightly.
"Your father has already drafted the imperial decree of marriage. You just wait to receive the decree today."
Ji Shimin blushed and finally felt a little shy.
"The child knows."
She didn't like military generals who were always rude, but Xie Xun was an exception. He was gentle and polite, and he had the handsome features of a scholar.
After listening to some more instructions, Ji Shimin retreated and headed towards the Ming Palace.
Many gentlemen and ladies had already arrived at the Ming Palace. They were led by the palace maids to sit down at the banquet. Those who wanted to show off their charm also put on light clothes.
When Ji Shimin arrived, she was complimented a lot. While she was dealing with it, she looked around, but Xie Xun was nowhere to be seen. Feeling disappointed, she asked the maid next to her to go to the palace gate to have a look.
And here.
The carriage of the Yangling Marquis Mansion stopped.
Cui Yun got off the car.
Dozens of carriages have been parked outside the palace gate, and there is a tendency to go upwards.
The man has long eyebrows and a slim temperament. He attracted many people's gaze as soon as he appeared on the scene.
Not far away, Xie Xun led Xie Yining and was about to enter the palace, when he heard a commotion behind him and stepped forward to explore.
Cui Yun landed on the ground with the little dumpling in his arms and stretched out his hand towards the girl who had just arrived in the carriage.
Seeing Shen Hua here, there was something strange in Xie Xun's eyes. When he saw Shen Hua naturally put her hand over her, Xie Xun's eyebrows jumped three times.
"Brother?" Xie Yining beside her asked in confusion. She followed his gaze and looked over.
What she saw was the man's tall and jade-like back, and the unusually round girl.
There were signs of warming up today, but the spring chill suddenly set in.
The girl was afraid of the cold and once again wrapped herself in her marten.
But her eyebrows, although still a bit childish at the moment, are quite beautiful. In time, they will definitely be...
Shen Hua coldly shrank her head and walked slowly.
"Can you walk faster! Even a snail is stronger than you!"
The little princess of the Cui family pinched her waist and scolded her.
The next moment, Xie Yining heard the girl say quietly.
"Is it?"
"Where is the snail? Princess, take it out and compare it with me. If it is faster than me, I will give you a kick in the head."
So bloody.
Hearing this, Xie Yining trembled, followed by a chuckle from Xie Xun beside him.
"Brother."
She couldn't help but call out again.
Xie Xun came to his senses.
He said: "Both men and women can take part in the Cuju banquet, but the audience seats are separated. I can't keep an eye on you all the time, Yi Ning, that girl is very easy to get along with."
Here, Shen Hua was confronting Cui Rong provocatively.
Cui Rong thought about the situation and felt a chill: "Who wants to play with your head!"
"Is it possible that someone else is playing Cuju and I'm kicking your head?"
"When I turn around, I will have a nightmare and I will settle the score with you!"
Shen Hua pursed her lips and looked down at her: "Go and find her before you say these words."
"You blamed me for choking on your drink yesterday, and now the nightmare is planning to blame me in advance. Kid, please be reasonable."
Cui Rong: "I'm six years old, and you're already haircut!"
Shen Hua: "Don't talk about age. I'm older than you. Do you think I'm proud?"
Cui Rong was obviously defeated: "Second uncle!"
Shen Hua: "Is it great to have a second uncle?"
Saying that, the girl looked at Cui Yun.
"Yes, cousin."
