Dong Gong Mei

Chapter 441

"It's not a big deal at all, it's just a matter of honor!" The queen mother looked at Zhao Xiwei with a smile again, "I don't know what the princess wants?"

Zhao Xi smiled silently.

Before the person involved appeared, the Queen Mother was anxious to bestow the seat.

The Empress Dowager really wanted to send someone to the East Palace, how could it be her turn to have an opinion?

She looked at the emperor, trying to find a trace of expression on his face to judge his attitude.But it was a pity that the emperor was looking at her with such eyes.

He didn't say anything, but such silence was equivalent to saying everything.

As a qualified emperor, when he heard the words "the war in Xiliang is tight", he had already thrown away all the remaining personal emotions.

As a princess, she does not have the right to refuse concubines, but she has the obligation to preside over concubines.

Zhao Xi slightly understood this truth.

After a long while, she calmly said, "I think this matter is inappropriate."

The mouths of the people who were waiting to watch the excitement opened their mouths, and they all showed incredible expressions when they heard her words.

What do you mean?
Wait, did they hear correctly?
The princess directly refused? !
"Crown princess, you have to consider the reputation of the Pei family!" The queen mother raised her eyelids.

"Yes." Zhao Xi nodded slightly, "It is because of the reputation of the Pei family that we can't be so hasty!"

"Really?" The Queen Mother sneered.

"It's just the nonsense of a palace slave, how can it decide the lifelong affairs of a famous lady?" She raised her skirt, bowed gracefully under the throne, and looked at the emperor frankly: "Your Majesty, this matter has not been resolved until now." After verification, the truth is still unknown, if it’s just that the palace servant was blinded by it, or it was a misunderstanding, wouldn’t this move hurt the dignity of the royal family, and at the same time, ruin the reputation of the Pei family?”

The emperor's expression finally moved slightly, and there was a flicker of light in his narrowed eyes: "Huh?"

Zhao Xiwei paid attention to the change of his expression, and said again: "Your Majesty also saw it just now, the minister just cross-examined a few words casually, but the servant in the palace faltered and couldn't answer a word, so the minister thinks that this time There must be something very strange about it, please Your Majesty look into it."

"Prince Princess means that someone set up a frame?" The Empress Dowager smiled, "Then why don't you hand it over to the Ting Wei Mansion for a proper trial?"

"No! There is no need for interrogation!" Zhao Xiwei did not hesitate, "This is just a misunderstanding!"

The queen mother dug holes everywhere, but how could Zhao Xiwei be so stupid as to jump into it?
"When His Royal Highness returns, the truth will naturally be revealed!"

"Oh?" The Queen Mother sat up straight, "Why are you so determined?"

At this time, the emperor rested his fingers on the armrest and stared at her with blazing eyes.

Zhao Xi touched her palm slightly, a sheet of wet cold sweat stuck to her skin, suppressed the coldness in her heart, raised her eyebrows and smiled calmly at the person in power sitting on the seat, and said loudly: "Based on what I know about His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"

When Li Xuanye stepped into the hall, he happened to encounter this scene.

That smile is as bright as a galaxy, as bright as a hundred flowers.

Without any warning or any arrangement, it just shone into the deepest part of his heart, causing his heartbeat to speed up suddenly, and the corners of his mouth hooked involuntarily.

But the smile only surfaced for a moment, and he quickly came back to his senses, his face suddenly turned cold.

When Zhao Xiwei saw him, the smile in his eyes grew stronger, and he said softly, "Why did Your Highness come? The wine is cold!"

His eyes were like water, and he glanced at him vaguely, three points of reproach and seven points of tenderness.

"Why did you mess with other girls when you were so good?"

Even in silent communication, he read what was in her mind.

Li Xuanye smiled, turning a blind eye to the surprised or suspicious eyes around her, took her hand straight away, and sat down at the first seat on the left side of the emperor. After drinking the wine, he quietly retreated behind Cuiping.

He took the wine cup and sniffed it gracefully on his lips, but he didn't rush to put it in his mouth, he just turned his head to look at Zhao Xiwei beside him, "I heard that we Wei'er fell out of favor—"

"What fell out of favor?" Zhao Xi was taken aback for a moment, suddenly having a bad premonition.

The clear jade lamp lightly turned a few times at the slender fingertips, he raised his sleeves, a smile appeared in his eyes, he took half a sip, and suddenly stretched his arms horizontally, and handed the jade lamp to her lips, Smiling and whispering: "Eat together with the roots and ears, drink together with the cup...how about Wei'er drinking with the orphan?"

Zhao Xiwei wanted to refuse at first, but when he saw the various eyes around him, he immediately changed his mind.

Want to see?Just let you take a good look!
She smiled suddenly, then lowered her head, took his hand, and slowly drank the remaining half glass of wine.

The four eyes meet each other, and the pulse is like a complaint.

The entire hall immediately fell into silence.

In the crowd, with the emperor and the empress staring at him, the prince is too ostentatious in favor of the princess...and the princess is too restrained!

The fine wine enters the throat, the head is drunk, the peach cheeks are stained red, and the almond eyes are soaked.

"It's this time, Your Highness is still in the mood to joke!" She caressed her hot earlobe, glared at him, and complained in a low voice, "Do you know what happened just now?"

Before he finished speaking, his lips softened suddenly.

He held a crystal clear shrimp and brought it to her lips, with a gentle smile: "Wei'er can't be hungry no matter what happens!"

"..." Zhao Xi was slightly speechless.

But after being reminded like this by him, he remembered that he hadn't eaten much all day, and his stomach felt a little uncomfortable because he was really hungry... So he opened his mouth obediently, and took small bites of the grilled shrimp.

Shrimp meat is crispy, tender and sweet, with delicate springy teeth and a slight milky aroma.

Seeing that she liked it, Li Xuanye simply brought over the whole plate of shrimps, rolled up his sleeves as if no one was there, and made a gesture of feeding the whole table of delicacies.

Everyone looks at me and I look at you, but they don't know where to put their eyes.

Zhao Xiwei was a bit thin-skinned at the beginning, but the temptation of delicious food was too great, and he picked all her favorite flavors, so he simply accepted them all.

After doing this several times, until she was a little half full, he put down his chopsticks and glanced around lightly.

Although the banquet had already started in the hall, everyone was staring at the prince feeding the concubine in a daze. Seeing him suddenly stop his movements, they immediately felt a chill down their backs.

"Why don't you eat?" His Royal Highness sat upright, put his fingers on the table, and knocked on the table unhurriedly. His attitude seemed very flat, and he didn't seem to embarrass anyone in the slightest. He even showed a rare kindness. Looking at the color, he said: "Is it because Gu came late, why do you have any complaints about Gu!"

Everyone came back to their senses, and hurriedly bowed and said: "I dare not!"

"That's it!" He nodded, and smiled at the emperor again: "My minister has pinpointed the time for the banquet, so I won't be late, but some accidents happened on the way here, so it was delayed by two quarters of an hour. You won't be angry with your son, will you?"
