Chapter 74 Songs and Dances are still cold

"Absurd!"

Feng Yuqi was about to say something, but before he could say anything, he heard the Empress Dowager scold lightly. Although the voice is not loud, the slightly old and deep voice is extremely shocking. The listener only feels a trembling in his heart and fear arises.

Although nowadays, she eats fasting and recites Buddhism in the town, and she does not step out of the door, she is a woman who has experienced the ups and downs of the harem for a long time and even turned over the clouds and downs in the court. The aura accumulated from the experience is still extremely strong.

The two simple words, but even the emperor did not dare to speak again, and the whole hall was quiet. People who originally had a "looking drama" mentality also hurriedly lowered their heads for fear of annoying the empress dowager.

Xie Guifei trembled all over. Unexpectedly, the Empress Dowager had this attitude.

Just when everyone was uneasy, the Empress Dowager calmed down. She personally took a dish into the small plate and handed it to Feng Yuqi. With her mother's unique gentleness, she said, "Your emperor, you like this dish the most. Come and taste how the cook is doing today. If it suits your appetite, you will appreciate it. If you don't do it well, you will withdraw it."

Feng Yuqi thanked him, took a sip, nodded and praised, "It tastes very good."

The Empress Dowager showed a satisfied look and ordered the imperial chef who made this dish. It seems that he completely forgot the noble concubine Xie who was still kneeling on the ground.

"Mother, the noble concubine is still kneeling, you see..." At this time, the queen bowed and asked.

It seemed that she just remembered it. The Empress Dowager said "Oh" gently, paused, and then said, "It's my family's wrong. I forgot that Xie Guifei hasn't got up yet."

Concubine Xie hurriedly said, "I dare not."

"Then get up." The Empress Dowager said casually, just glanced at Xie Guifei and said, "It's the Spring Festival. Don't mention those unlucky things in the future. Also, don't dress like anything. The mourning family and the emperor are still fine. Don't look at the bad luck, and don't look at what the occasion it is.

"Yes, I dare not." Xie Guifei didn't dare to tell anything at this moment, so she had to kowtow and admit her mistake. I must have been thinking about what she did today for a long time, but I didn't expect it to be like this.

" Prime Minister, are you almost fifty this year?" The Empress Dowager suddenly asked again.

Prime Minister Xie replied respectfully, "Yes, the Empress Dowager, Weichen is forty-nine years old this year. It's almost time."

The Empress Dowager sighed, "It's so fast every day. We are all old."

This seemingly unrelated words are secretly warning to Prime Minister Xie. Prime Minister Xie has been a minister for many years, and there is no reason why he can't hear it.

The disturbance of Xie Guifei can be said to be only a small part of the whole New Year's Eve banquet, which was quickly turned over. The concubines, clans and ministers all did not mention anything about it. Those who toast, pray, improvise poems and art, and the atmosphere will get better in a short time.

Although Xie Guifei was still sitting in her hand, she looked gloomy and pitiful. Although she knew that this made the Empress Dowager more angry, she could not adjust it in any way. She was afraid that the situation would get worse and worse if it went on like this, so she could only leave in advance on the grounds of physical discomfort.

After all, Jiang is still old and spicy. Looking at the Prime Minister Xie, he is really a powerful minister. He sits firmly in his position and does not panic at all. Even if he saw the noble concubine leave, he didn't even blink his eyelids. At this moment, he is raising his glass to Prince Rui.

"Your Highness, please." Prime Minister Xie picked up the wine cup and drank it all first.

Prince Rui laughed heroically, and also raised the wine cup. His wide sleeves were half covered, and he drank all the thick pear blossoms.

"Your Majesty, Lord Rui is very well-behaved today, but he didn't escape." The queen covered her mouth and smiled.

"My royal brother is really too loose on weekdays, but I don't know if it will be better to find someone to take care of him." Feng Yuqi is also very interested at this moment, and he has already put aside the previous incident of Xie Zhiqing.

It is said that there is a matchmaker in every woman's body, and the queen is no exception. At this moment, when she heard Feng Yuqi say this, she immediately became energetic and said, "What the emperor said is very true. If you are not happy today, let's marry King Rui. The eldest daughter of the Duke of Liu is very good. She is beautiful and dignified and warm-hearted. She is elegant and can be a model for everyone's boudoir. If she enters the royal palace, she will definitely take on the responsibility of the princess and the role of the mistress.

Hearing the queen say such a big paragraph, Feng Yuqi couldn't help laughing and said, "Yi Tong, Yi Tong, you are really..."

Is the original name of the queen Feng Yitong? It's really good. Hearing this, Ling Xiao thought to himself, seeing the queen's suddenly blushing face like a girl, he couldn't help sighing that no matter how unfavored such a queen is, she will never be abandoned by the wind.

The queen is naturally very happy to hear Feng Yuqi call herself like this. He hasn't called himself like this for many years. I really miss the days when I was a childhood sweetheart and two young guesses. I just want to share your worries for the emperor. Only when Prince Rui settles down can he better help the emperor deal with complicated affairs.

"Okay, I won't laugh at you anymore. Then I'll listen to you and make a good plan for him. If the queen thinks Miss Liu is good, she will inquire again. It's just too hasty to give her a wedding today." Feng Yuqi straightened his face and said to Prince Rui under the seat, "Yui Rui, did you hear what your sister-in-law said just now?"

"Ah? What did the royal sister-in-law say? Feng Yurui was chatting with the people next to him. Suddenly, he heard Feng Yuqi call him and hurriedly got up to answer, but he didn't know what was going on.

"Your royal sister-in-law said she would marry you." Feng Yuqi shook his head and smiled.

"Brother, sister-in-law, by all!" Originally, it was just a joke, but he didn't expect Feng Yurui's reaction to be surprisingly fierce. After saying that, he himself felt out of his temper and quickly made up for it. "What I mean is, well, I'm still young and I'm not in a hurry."

The queen was stunned and said to Feng Yuqi with a smile, "Look at this. I'm really used to being wild. I'm not constrained at all and don't want to get married. I'm worried that someone will take care of it in the future."

The two emperors talked about it, but Feng Yurui was so anxious that he sweated on his forehead.

I don't know if it's an illusion. Ling Xiao always feels that Feng Yurui's eyes are staring at her. Although it was a moment's effort, he feels that the eyes are extremely complicated.

Under the singing and dancing and laughter in the banquet hall, everyone's thoughts are complicated. At this moment, Lin Xuanyu, who is "sick and recuperating" in the Xixi Hall, is preparing for the scene a few days later.

Unexpectedly, after the banquet, Feng Yuqi did not go to the queen's palace, but to the Yingyue Palace. Ling Xiao obviously saw the disappointment in the queen's eyes, but the disappointment was so light that he was so distracted that there was still the dignified mother in the world standing in front of him.

Ling Xiao did not immediately return to the palace. On the way back to Qiluan Hall, she saw a red plum tree, which exuded a faint fragrance in the dark night, which was intoxicating. She couldn't help stopping to watch.

White snow and red plums are interesting to each other. She didn't care whether her clothes would get dirty or not. She leaned against the tree trunk and closed her eyes to feel the peace of this moment.

"Wanyi is also like Xiao Wang. Is she a frustrated person?" A familiar male voice suddenly came to my ears.

Ling Xiao immediately opened his eyes and saw that the person who came was indeed the Prince Rui. He was dressed in a black robe, his face was like crown jade, and he stood on the white snow. He actually had a sense of nobility like a Zhilan jade tree. At this moment, the slightly sad eyes were looking at her. She suddenly felt a sense of embarrassment. She quickly moved her eyes and did not answer his words. Instead, she asked, "Why hasn't the prince left the palace so late?"

"Rui drank a few more cups today. Thanks to the concern of my brother, I am allowed to rest in the palace." Feng Yurui's words are clear, and it doesn't look like a person who "drinks a few more cups".

Ling Xiao just lowered his eyes faintly, "Oh, that's it." For a long time, he said to Qingwu, "Let's go back to the palace."

"Wanyi hasn't answered Xiao Wang's words yet." Unexpectedly, Feng Yurui was still asking.

"My concubine is favored by the emperor. Now that she is doing well, how can she be disappointed?" Ling Xiao was slightly angry. Why is this man so ignorant? Does he have to destroy the only friendship between the two? With that, she took the green fog and walked in the direction of Qiluantang.

I don't know if I heard the last sentence that Feng Yurui said behind him: If it's me, I will never live up to you.

Returning to the palace, he was full of fatigue. He soaked well in the bath tub full of petals and let Erlan massage again, and then he was comfortable. Lying to **, wrapped in a warm quilt, the drowsiness immediately came, but his mind seemed to be awake.

Because Feng Yuqi often brings the memorial here for approval, and sometimes even tells her something about the court, so she also knows something. Naturally, the reason why Feng Yuqi wants to snug the noble concubine is not only because of the "little things" in the harem, but more importantly, the Xie family seems to be a little insequit.

Xie Guifei will never fall down. This is something that Ling Xiao has known for a long time. Feng Yuqi just snolded her for a while, putting a little pressure on the Xie family. When the limelight is over, she will naturally come back, and this New Year's Eve is a good opportunity. What she didn't expect was that she would be obstructed by the Empress Dowager. Maybe she thought it was not the right time.

What's more unexpected is that the Empress Dowager has made such a clear statement, but Feng Yuqi still went to her palace tonight. Did Ling Xiao despise the feelings between them? Or is the love between the young couple far deeper than her new lover?

So, since she is so shaky, how can she help Lin Xuanyu? In a few days, will the original plan be implemented?

Just as Ling Xiao was thinking nonsense, he heard a faint sigh by the bedside.

I was so tired tonight. In a daze, Ling Xiao thought he was in a dream, but frowned and turned around.

"What's the matter? Are you still frowning when you fall asleep?" A pair of warm hands stroked her forehead, and then she realized that it was not a dream. His eyelids are heavy, and his eyes are slightly open. Why did Feng Yuqi lean against him?

"Your Majesty, why are you here?" Ling Xiao did not get up, but took advantage of the time when his mind was still clear, and he was capricious in his heart. He sucked his nose, with grievances and grievances, gently hugged his beloved's waist and buried his head in his arms.
