Chapter 736 I'm Begging Her

"Ok?"

The emperor pinched the wine cup and asked a single question.

Pei Cairen also hummed from his nose: "Just now, in front of so many people, what Zhao Xiwei said by herself, all civil and military officials and wives heard it really, she said, she didn't want to come , but if you don’t come, His Majesty will lose face—"

"Oh..." The emperor elongated his voice, and everyone around raised their ears.

Being exposed by a woman in public like this, the emperor really loses face.

Pei Cairen raised the corners of his lips proudly.

Unexpectedly, after the emperor said "Oh", he nodded, very happy, and said very straightforwardly: "She is right, I begged her to come."

"..."

Everyone was silent.

Especially the officials of Yushitai, their faces were blackened, and they were full of silent accusations.

The emperor touched the eyes of his courtiers, and if he realized something, he looked at Zhao Xiwei.

Immediately suppress the smile.

She didn't apply any makeup on her plain face, and didn't even cover up the faint bruises under her eyes. She was wearing a half-new ink-colored landscape skirt, with a fluffy neckline surrounded by a circle of pure white fluff.

The emperor frowned, and looked around again.

It's early spring, and everyone has dressed up, even the general who doesn't care about his appearance happily wears a round-neck gown embroidered with lions and tigers. Jade belt.

Not to mention the golden and jade ladies, all of them put on the lightest and elegant spring clothes and the most expensive and exquisite jewelry.

The peach blossoms and willows are green, full of spring, which makes Zhao Xiwei's body particularly cold and lonely.

The emperor was a little displeased.

This kid is really worrying!

Or is he too conniving?As everyone knows, he is just looking at it for the prince's sake...

While his expression was changing, the emperor suddenly asked: "Zhao Xiwei, didn't I reward you with dozens of pieces of brocade—"

"That's right, it's fine to go to the banquet, and you still wear this half-new outfit. This is a royal feast, what does it look like!" Pei Cairen echoed repeatedly.

Zhao Xiwei looked at the emperor above him, his almond eyes were indifferent and calm, and he didn't speak.

The emperor met her eyes, and unconsciously softened his attitude: "You are just recovering from a serious illness, and you can't stand the cold. Dressing warmly is the most important thing."

Seeing that the emperor hadn't lost his temper, Pei Cairen immediately became a little impatient: "Your Majesty rewarded the fabric, but he didn't want to cut new clothes. It is not an exaggeration to call it a crime of deceiving the emperor!"

He complained to the emperor again, "You don't know, this girl, relying on your favor, actually dispatched troops and generals in the Linde Hall. When the concubine said something that displeased her, she summoned several imperial guards and forced the concubine to drink Fill a bowl of sugar water... Although the status of the concubine is low, she is also the birth mother of the King Jin, so how will the King Jin behave in the future..."

She added fuel to the fire and said a lot, but the emperor only focused on one point: "In the palace, dispatch troops?"

"That's right!" Pei Cairen was delighted, and continued: "It's just that I saved you once, and all the imperial guards in this palace are actually under her orders. What will happen after this..."

Before finishing this passage, the emperor interrupted: "Arong!"

Pei Cairen shut up in time.

"Zhao Xiwei, did you really dispatch the guards just now?" The emperor was sitting upright on the dragon chair, surrounded by officials on both sides, his voice was low and gentle, with the hoarseness after a long illness.

However, just such a voice still made people feel the wrath of the emperor.

"Yes." Zhao Xiwei also sat upright on the table. She folded her hands and put them flat on her lap, with a calm expression: "I did dispatch the guards."

The moment has finally come.

Li Xuanye's jade order is still in her hands, and all military forces in Beijing are still under her control.

On the side of the couch, no one else is allowed to sleep soundly.

She doesn't care if the emperor wants to take back this power.

She has no nostalgia for power.

but……

The emperor suddenly laughed: "You are a sincere child!" He waved his hand, disapprovingly said, "If you are transferred, you can transfer it. It's just a few guards. It's not a big deal, but I have a word——"

"Pei Cairen makes you unhappy, you can tell Concubine Shu, or you can tell me, I will make the decision for you! How could you call the guards out without saying a word?" The emperor tapped the imperial gate with his fingers. Xi An, just like the elders of a big family, "Don't be so naughty in the future, do you hear me!"

Pei Cairen was stunned.

Is this going to be put down gently?

How about that!
As soon as she lifted the hem of her skirt, she knelt down: "Your Majesty! After all, this concubine is your concubine. She is just a disused concubine, and she dares to bully my concubine like this..."

In the middle of her speech, she couldn't go on anymore. Tears welled up in those bright and moving eyes, and she just looked at the emperor with resentment and hatred.

The emperor patted her hand, and said in a warm voice: "I know you feel uncomfortable, but this quarrel, there is always a time when you lose your sense of proportion." He raised his hand and pointed at Zhao Xiwei, "She is young, why should you talk to me?" She is just as childish? Besides, if she hadn't risked her life that day, how could there be today's feast?"

When his eyes fell on Zhao Xiwei, he squinted habitually.

Pei Cairen still didn't give up: "Your Majesty, even if you don't feel sorry for your concubine, you still have to feel sorry for your own child... King Jin...he still can't get out of bed...but his mother, however The murderer is so insulting..."

"Okay!" The emperor waved his hand and interrupted her complaint, "Then according to Arong's intention, how can I forgive her?"

A forgiveness has already settled the matter.

Although Pei Cairen was dissatisfied, she couldn't ask for more—the emperor had already given the steps, and she wouldn't be able to get down after taking them back.

How can we punish this bitch?

While he was thinking hard, a person at the civil servants' table below stood up holding a jug: "Your Majesty, I have a plan."

Purple clothes and gold belt, looks dignified.

Both Pei Cairen and the emperor frowned as they looked over.

"Gu Aiqing?"

Gu Yong looked as usual, lifted the wine pot, poured a glass of wine, faced Zhao Xiwei, and said: "Back then, the Zhao family accidentally injured the King of Jin, and they were anxious to protect the country. But now the empress is asking for an explanation, because she is eager to pity her son. As the saying goes, Enemies should be resolved rather than tied, Zhao Xiwei, as a junior, why don't you give me a glass of wine and make amends?"

All the people present were smart people, and they immediately agreed with each other: "Wonderful! Wonderful! Master Gu's plan is very clever!"

"Families should be resolved but not knotted!"

"Smile away all grievances!"

Gu Yong smiled lightly, cupped his hands and held the wine glass: "Zhao Xiwei?"

Men have lived in the court for a long time, and they have long been familiar with these undercurrents.

And the women at the married couple's table were secretly sweating: "The emperor and Xi Ni, Gu Yongla is on the sidelines... What do you mean by smiling to wipe out all grievances, isn't this really bullying?"

The people below were whispering, and the emperor couldn't hear him sitting far away, but Zhao Ziyi and others heard it clearly.

He wanted to speak, but he was afraid of making the emperor jealous, and he felt wronged for his daughter if he didn't speak.

When he was in a dilemma, Zhao Xiwei still sat in the table, staring at the wine glass in Gu Yong's hand indifferently, without distinguishing between happiness and anger.

After a while, the corners of her lips curled slightly, half-raised a hand, and said, "Since that's the case..."

After only saying three words, the wine cup in front of him was suddenly snatched away.

Everyone in the hall was taken aback for a moment, looked up in surprise, and suddenly paled in shock——

"His Royal Highness!"

Wearing a black crown dress, with white jade on his waist, he stood in front of the table with his hands behind his back, as if reflecting the jade mountain, with extraordinary majesty.

Holding the wine cup in one hand, he looked around with a smile: "I heard that someone wants to apologize?"

　Sorry for not being able to update.

　　I mentioned my resignation, and I don't know when it will be approved. If it succeeds, it will probably explode...
