Chapter 174 Palace Banquet
Ling Lu and Ling Xuanyi were about the same age, and they grew up together since childhood. Ling Xuanyi's mother passed away earlier. Concubine Yun in the palace was taken care of by the two until Ling Xuanyi became an adult and left the palace to become an independent person.
In addition, after that, Concubine Yun died of illness, Ling Qi left the palace and traveled for several years in sadness. These two cousins had never seen each other. This time, Ling Qi returned, and he left for five years, and he was worried about his father.
Although Concubine Yun died of illness and had some relationship with her father, Ling Qi refused to leave after Concubine Yun passed away.
But after he figured it out, he could not deny that Emperor Xi Qin loved his mother and his son from the bottom of his heart. After he had been away for a long time, it was time for him to go back and see him for his father.
Besides, I miss my cousin Ling Xuanyi who grew up with me. This time I came back and wanted to get together with Ling Xuanyi. Especially over the years, I have been hearing that this cousin has made several military achievements, so I should come to celebrate him.
This is why this year's Mid-Autumn Festival night banquet was launched, and Ling Qi rushed back to the capital.
"Xuan Yi is fine. Don't you know, your cousin? What can you do except that you have always been in harmony with your elder brother!"
Seeing that Ling Qi was still so close to Ling Xuanyi, the Western Qin Emperor Ling Qian felt very smooth. At least among his sons, there was always one who could get along with that nephew.
However, Ling Qian frowned when he remembered the deadlock between the prince and the other princes and Ling Xuanyi.
When Ling Qian saw Ling Qian suddenly frowning, he understood a little more. After all, since he was a child, the cousin and his brothers had many conflicts, and even fought.
And he, the third brother, was secretly excluded by several brothers because he helped Ling Xuanyi. So when he saw his father Ling Qian suddenly frowning, he could probably guess what he was doing.
Without wanting to affect the atmosphere of the father and son meeting at this moment, Ling Lu hurriedly pulled the topic away.
"Father, my cousin is not young anymore. Could it be that I have not welcomed the door in so many years to think that the prince's concubine?"
After hearing his son talk about this, the Western Qin Emperor Ling Qian glanced at Ling Qi beside him.
"Yes! Your cousin is really old, so he should have a princess. By the way, you don't have to be much younger, right? Should you find a daughter-in-law for my father?"
Ling Qian said something awkwardly, and he wanted to change the subject, but he didn't expect that the fire would hit him.
Ling Qian saw that his precious son was embarrassed for a moment and laughed out from his heart.
After laughing for a while, Ling Qian patted Ling Qi's shoulder.
"Okay, my father knows you, but I can't delay too long. My father is old and I don't know how much time I can have. You can't let my father not see you before he leaves, right!"
Seeing that his father said this, Ling Qi hurriedly accused him of his crime and sincerely stopped Ling Qian from talking about it, because he no longer wanted to feel the feeling of losing a close relative.
The father and son were walking on the palace road, talking while walking. The servants beside him avoided them when they saw them and did not dare to come forward to disturb the father and son's conversation.
But at this moment, Ling Xuanyi fell into a coma.
After all, I was injured and had to insist on going to Qiuyan. In addition, I was angry when I saw Xi Ningyu being taken off the stage. Not long after being stopped by Atractylodes and others, I fell into a coma because I was too tired.
After being fussed with Atractylodes and Piano, I finally got back to the house. The doctor told me to see him and use the medicine to calm down.
Unfortunately, because the injury was not treated as soon as possible, I insisted on going to Qiu Banquet, and was even more excited and angry, and I was unconscious in my heart. I still showed no sign of waking up.
"What should I do? The master has been sleeping all the time, and although he has used medicine, he has not seen much improvement.
Holding the Qin, if Mo Ying comes back, we will not be killed!"
Fuqin frowned while standing by, feeling very worried.
Although you usually look like you have everything in your heart, once you encounter something that concerns your master, you can immediately disturb your mood, and the atractylodes next to you keep talking.
Fuqin felt even more irritable, so he said angrily: "Mo Ying is coming back and is also sucking you, it's nothing to do with me.
After all, you are the one who protects the master all the way, and I am just waiting at the city gate!"
Seeing Fuqin talking like this, Atractylodes was so angry that she pointed at Fuqin and stuttered for a long time, but she didn't say a word.
After all, it was as Fuqin said, so that the master was injured by making his own protection unfavorable.
"Bang~~~~~~~~"
After a sound, Yun Chan stood at the door where the door opened.
Yun Chan was transferred to the training camp before and took over a group of new arrivals of women to start training them to become new guards.
So for most of the past two years, I spent some time in a secret guard camp, and I would return to the prince's mansion unless there was a big deal.
Coincidentally, just after returning to the prince's mansion today, he heard Ling Xuanyi was unconscious and was carried back, so he hurried down to Ling Xuanyi's sleeping place and pushed open the door.
"Why did the master get hurt again? Didn't he say he was very calm along the way? How did you protect the master from Atractylodes? How could you actually make someone hurt your master like this?!"
Yun Chan pushed open the door and felt extremely distressed when she saw Ling Xuanyi on the bed. She turned around and scolded Atractylodes.
Atractylodes was also a little hit by what Fuqin said just now. Now Yun Chan was taught a lesson again, and even stood there without saying a word, and he felt extremely blamed in his heart.
The room was already silent. Fuqin stood beside the bed and looked at Yun Chan in front of him worriedly, and wiped the sweat from Ling Xuanyi's head with a wet veil.
After sitting aside for a while, Atractylodes was speechless, she suddenly seemed to remember something, stood up, glanced at Fuqin and Yunchan, and turned around and walked out quickly.
Fuqin wanted to stop Atractylodes, but after a moment of hesitation and he swallowed the words to his mouth.
It was sunset now, and during the day, all the women from all families who attended the autumn banquet in the chrysanthemum Garden, who were on the list, had been notified to go to the palace to attend the palace banquet.
So many carriages came out from the chrysanthemum garden one after another, moving slowly towards the direction of the palace.
The carriages in the Xifu were also on the line.
At this time, Xi Shuang, Xi Lin and Xi Min and other sisters were sitting in the car. But these people gathered together and the atmosphere seemed very distorted.
Xi Shuang naturally didn't like Xi Ningyu, so she could be as far away as she could be.
Although Xi Lin did not show it on the surface, she also didn't like Xi Ningyu in her heart. But she didn't want to be with her elder sister Xi Shuang like a fool in her eyes, so Xi Lin also sat on the other side near the rear of the car.
Only Xi Min sat tightly next to Xi Ningyu, and said this softly in her arms.
Since there are several masters in the car, Qingying and Qingqiong can only follow outside the car.
Chan'er and Yu'er returned to Xifu with Huang's family first.
The reason why Xi Shuang and Xi Lin were able to attend the palace banquet was that Huang put down his figure and asked Xi Ningyu to take it.
After all, only Xi Ningyu, who came on stage to demonstrate her talents in the palace today, was the only one who was qualified to enter the palace to attend the palace banquet.
According to convention, talented women who can enter the palace can bring three or two of their own sisters with them, so Huang asked Xi Ningyu for help.
However, Huang's not kind-heartedness, because Huang's own daughter is not old, so she can't catch up with this time, but she doesn't want to see Xi Ningyu alone lose the benefits.
Even though he knew that the three sisters of the Xi family were not in harmony, he deliberately spoke up and made Xi Ningyu feel embarrassed. Even if he agreed to take the other two in, he would definitely not be chanted by those two people.
What I hope is to let the three of them fight in the internal struggle, so as to save themselves from taking the lead in dealing with Xi Ningyu, which will ruin their reputation and easily cause trouble for their children.
That's why the strange scene in the car was sitting in three points.
Finally, I heard a sound from outside, and the shaking of the carriage when it stopped, and the few people inside the car breathed out from their hearts, and finally there was no need to be so awkward.
Xi Shuang stood up and couldn't wait for the servant outside to open the car door. As soon as she pushed the door open and held the hand that hurriedly came to support her servant, she got off the carriage quickly, as if she had just one more breath and didn't want to stay in the car.
Seeing this, Xi Ningyu just looked straight and thought to himself, thinking that I would rather you go out quickly to avoid me being uncomfortable. You two followed you all the way, and the air in the car was dirty.
Xi Lin was the same. He didn't even look at Xi Ningyu, and he got off the carriage with Xi Shuang.
"Misses, which mansion do you belong to? Leave a name so that you can make a note to me. I will neglect you all!"
A slightly sharp sound came from outside the car. Xi Shuang, who went out first, saw that she was a eunuch in the palace and did not dare to offend her.
"Reply to my father-in-law, the young lady is the eldest daughter of the Xi family in the Imperial City. Please check it."
"Oh! I know, I heard that a girl from the Xi family is showing off at the autumn banquet during the day. Could it be that she is you, a girl?
I heard that the girl’s literary talent is very good. Even the famous talented woman Lan Yi County Jun in the imperial capital lost to the girl!”
The eunuch's words made Xi Shuang stammer and hesitate and didn't know how to respond, and he was frozen there for a moment and didn't know what to do.
Seeing this, Xi Lin turned around and showed a hint of amusing.
Only Xi Ningyu, who was about to get off the car, frowned when he heard the words outside the car.
Because the eunuch's words clearly implicitly implicitly. Xi Shuang outside the car was stupid and didn't hear it, but she was not stupid, so she was clearly trying to question on purpose.
Who in the palace was the one who had the intention of him, and actually arranged a eunuch to wait for him at the palace gate!
Seeing this, Xi Ningyu became a little cautious in his heart. He was not afraid of anything else but that he could not let himself fall into inexplicable calculations.
If I had known that I would be targeted by someone when I entered the palace today, I should have gone to Mu's mansion earlier and met Brother Mu Jun first. It would be better than being targeted by someone now, but I didn't know where to ask for help.
Xi Ningyu felt a little regretful in his heart at this moment.
There was no choice but to take Xi Min out of the carriage. Seeing the eunuch outside the carriage looking at himself who had just got off the carriage with curious eyes, Xi Ningyu knew that it was indeed coming for him.
"My father-in-law misunderstood. Today, the poems that beat Lan Yi County Jun at the autumn banquet were better than those of my second sister, not my little girl!"
Seeing that Xi Ningyu got out of the car, Xi Shuang was embarrassed to continue to agree, so she could only speak to help the eunuch in front of her.
Chapter completed!
